Chapter 38: Beginning of Exile

Chen An knew it was not good when he heard it, and the handwriting on the letter was indeed written by Lord Ji. They had delivered many letters to Lord Ji. Although they did not know the contents of those letters, they had often seen the words on the envelopes. Although the handwriting on the paper was a bit sloppy, it was definitely written by Lord Ji.

Chen An immediately put on a smile and secretly glanced at Li Yin at the same time. Li Yin nodded slightly to him, indicating that there was no problem with the letter.

"Sir, look at what you said. I just felt that you had just come back, and now you have to go again. If you knew about this in the city, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. How dare you have other thoughts? I will go to prepare horses for you now."

At the north gate, the soldiers on duty looked at the backs of the riders entering the city. One soldier said, "Lord Li is very busy today. He just went back and came back not long ago. In the past, he could only see him once a month."

After entering the city, the three ran to the military camp. At this moment, Li Yan's heart was not as calm as he seemed. He could not grasp the whereabouts of the military division. He might come back at any time, or it was not impossible to meet him on the street.

They soon arrived outside the military camp. Li Yan got off his horse, threw away the reins and walked straight to the camp gate without saying a word. Chen An and Li Yin quickly followed with their horses. Li Yan glanced at them and said, "After you enter the camp, tie up your horses in the stable and wait here."

Chen An and Li Yin also read the letter. Knowing that it was the military division Ji who was looking for Li Yan alone, they were naturally relieved. And now that they had entered the military camp, they were happy to be lazy and hurriedly responded.

Li Yan walked deep into the camp. He had been here several times and was familiar with this place. He bypassed several tents and met several patrolling soldiers on the way. These soldiers just checked his identity and let him go. He turned his head again to look at the way he came. Chen An and Li Yin were no longer in sight, so he turned a few corners and walked towards Liu Chengyong's tent.

Liu Chengyong was pacing in the tent. It was about three quarters of an hour before noon. Suddenly, he felt a dark in front of his eyes. When he looked up, a person had flashed in at the door. It was Li Yan or someone else.

"Brother Li, you are finally here." Liu Chengyong said straight to the point.

"Captain Liu, I have kept you waiting for a long time. What happens next depends on you." Li Yan said quickly.

"Okay, follow me." Liu Chengyong showed his military style at this moment. He didn't say much. After saying that, he turned around and walked out. After receiving the secret order, he knew that this was an important matter for the Marshal. He would not ask more about the details. He just knew that the details of this matter should not be known to outsiders. Li Yan followed closely behind him.

The two of them left the tent and walked into the military camp. Li Yan followed Liu Chengyong through the tents and finally came to a heavily guarded place. On this road just now, they also met many patrol teams, but Liu Chengyong held a token, and the other party let them go after checking.

In front of them now were several large tents, which were very spacious and covered with black felt. At this moment, the two of them were stopped by a long wooden fence in front of them. The soldiers here were obviously different from the soldiers they had just met. They were all wearing dark armor and had no expression on their faces. They were very alert to their arrival. Before they approached, one of them shouted, "Stop, this is a military stronghold."

Seeing this, Liu Chengyong whispered to Li Yan, "Brother Li, wait a moment." After that, he took out half a tiger talisman from his waist, raised his hand, and walked forward.

Li Yan saw that after Liu Chengyong passed by, he handed the half tiger talisman to the hand of the leader, who carefully examined it for a long time and whispered a few words to Liu Chengyong. At this time, Liu Chengyong waved to Li Yan. Li Yan also walked forward. Seeing him coming, the leader turned around and said a few words to a soldier beside him, then gave the soldier half a tiger talisman. Then the soldier came out, looked at Liu Chengyong and Li Yan, turned around without saying a word and continued to walk deeper inside.

"Captain Liu, what is this place for? It is so strict that you need to use half of the Marshal's tiger talisman. Can't even the previous token be used?" Although Li Yan was anxious, he was still a little curious and asked in a low voice. He has also come to the military camp several times during this period, and he knows about military regulations, roll calls, command arrows, and tiger talismans.

"This is a military baggage area, but it is our lifeline." Liu Chengyong just replied this sentence.

Li Yan thought to himself, "I thought it was so strict. Even if Chen An and Li Yin knew I was here, they couldn't get in."

After the soldier walked in for a while, he went deeper and turned a few corners before arriving at a camp gate. However, the camp gate was closed and guarded by a team of soldiers in black armor. The camp gate was tightly wrapped with an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm and a copper lock about half the size of a human head.

The soldier took a few steps forward and whispered to the soldier in black armor who was coming up. Then he took out the half tiger talisman and handed it to the other party. After the soldier in black armor took it, he also looked at it carefully for a long time, and then waved to Liu Chengyong and Li Yan to signal them to come over.

After Liu Chengyong and Li Yan walked over, the soldier returned half of the tiger talisman to Liu Chengyong, and then ordered someone to open the iron chain that was as thick as an adult's arm. Then, with a creaking sound, the door was pushed outward by four soldiers with great effort, looking very strenuous.

After the door was pushed open with a gap only enough for one person to walk through, Liu Chengyong called Li Yan and walked out.

The heavy sound of the door moving behind him sounded again, and then it closed again with a "bang", and then there was a "clattering" sound of the iron chain. Li Yan looked at the scene in front of him. Now he was in a wide alley. The straight road stretched forward, and it turned a corner not far away and the end was out of sight.

Liu Chengyong looked at Li Yan and said with a smile, "Brother Li, no one will come to the exit of the military camp baggage warehouse here. Go a little further and there will be someone guarding it. Then go out and it will be not far from the entrance of the north city gate.

After hearing this, Li Yan remembered that there were three roads when he first entered the city through the north city gate, all paved with large bluestones. The main road in the middle was the one they often took when they entered the city and talked about going to and from the city. The other two forks extended to both sides of the city, and no one knew where they went. I think this is the extension of one of the roads.

Li Yan looked around and saw that there was no one, so he asked Li Chengyong, "What is Marshal Hong's next arrangement?" ??

Liu Chengyong looked at him and said, "The Marshal said that after leaving this military camp, he will take you to the back door of the Marshal's Mansion, and someone will pick you up at that time."

After hearing this, Li Yan shook his head and said, "Captain Liu, then I can't go. Just hand this bottle and the letter to the Marshal. "As he said that, Li Yan took out a small porcelain bottle and a letter from his arms and handed them to Liu Chengyong.

Liu Chengyong took the small porcelain bottle in doubt. The porcelain bottle was not big, only the size of a thumb, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with wax. He didn't know what it was for. The letter must be something Li Yan wrote to the Marshal. It was not the first time he delivered a letter, but the order he received was to bring Li Yan to the Marshal's Mansion today.

"Brother Li, you've made it difficult for me." After he put the things in his arms, he stared at Li Yan and said word by word.

"Haha, Brother Liu, after these few months, don't you feel that I'm in trouble now?" Li Yan said solemnly.

Now, he didn't even call "Captain Liu".

Liu Chengyong looked at him and said, "I don't know what the relationship is between the Marshal, you, and the third military division, but the order I received is to bring you to the Marshal's Mansion. "

"Brother Liu, let's cut to the chase. I will definitely not go there, and you can't hold me here now. If we get to the exit in front and there are too many people, you can't do anything. Otherwise, what could have been successful may end up with everyone breaking up." After saying that, Li Yan used his spiritual power, and the power in his body burst out and pressed towards Liu Chengyong.

Liu Chengyong suddenly felt a mountain-like force pressing on his body, which made him feel like he was struck by lightning. Just when he was horrified and wanted to raise his internal force to resist, he immediately relaxed, and his whole body was empty, without any pressure.

Li Yan knew that both Hong Linying and Ji Wenhe would want to hold him in their hands, and he had to rely on Hong Linying's power to complete the plan. In this way, he had to pull Hong Lin Ying got involved, but he couldn't let her fall into his hands. This was just the beginning of his plan. Meeting Hong Linying was not a matter for the moment. He had to get rid of her first.

At present, he used Hong Linying to sneak into Chencang and get rid of Ji Wenhe's eyes. He had also considered the situation in front of him, but he didn't know when it would happen at first. Now that he had reached this point and knew his own environment, he was betting that Liu Chengyong would not dare to take action at the alley in front, as that might attract Ji Wenhe.

Then this was a good place to show off. Liu Chengyong suddenly gathered all his spiritual power to oppress him. In fact, he was not sure about it. What kind of person was Liu Chengyong? He was a master in the army. His fighting skills were amazing. But now he only used his spiritual power to oppress him. He released and retracted his power, creating the momentum of a master in the martial arts world. He was forced to not know his depth for a while, and he called "Brother Liu, Brother Liu" on his mouth, using both soft and hard methods.

Liu Chengyong only felt a heavy and light feeling on his body, and he was horrified in his heart. How could this "Brother Li" be so amazing? He had not seen him for a few months, but his skills were several times higher than his own. How did he train this? He thought to himself. He should not be able to take down Li Yan. He didn't know that Li Yan was just a show-off. He had magic power but pretended to be a martial arts master. In fact, he had no fighting experience at all. But Liu Chengyong didn't think so. As far as the martial arts sects were concerned, there were few who didn't practice both internal and external skills. While practicing internal skills, they also practiced martial arts skills. He thought that since Master Ji could teach Li Yan this profound internal skill, he must have taught him a lot of killing methods. This made his back a little cold.

"Haha, Brother Li is a good kung fu. Liu thinks that he can't complete this order." Liu Chengyong smiled bitterly.

"Brother Liu, to be honest, what I gave you is exactly what the Marshal needs. After you hand it over, he will also think that you have completed the task, but this is the only way for me." Li Yan said seriously.

Liu Chengyong looked into Li Yan's eyes. He felt that Li Yan was not lying, so he sighed, "Then let's just leave it like this. I hope I don't get beaten by the military stick." He was also very frustrated. He could not win by himself. If he called more people, the matter would be ruined, and more people would know about it. Why did he have to be so careful before?

"Then let's go." Li Yan extended his hand and saluted. Liu Chengyong sighed and walked in front. "Brother Li, you don't have to be so careful about everything. Can I do something behind your back?"

"Haha, Brother Liu, what are you talking about? I'm not familiar with the road. Besides, I don't have a token or a tiger talisman. How can I get through?"

After a while, at the back alley, looking at Li Yan's back rushing towards the north gate, Liu Chengyong sighed again, then touched the porcelain bottle and letter in his arms, and walked towards the Marshal's Mansion.
