【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

The doorman of the Secret Pavilion counted the time and was about to lock the door. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open before the lock was locked. Dozens of men in silver lacquer armor and holding spears and blades filed in a row. When he entered, the guards couldn't stop him, and rushed straight into the front yard of the secret pavilion. The man in charge had a ferocious look on his face, and his whole body was cold, making people fearful.

This man was Chang Yi, with gloomy eyes, he scanned the surroundings of the secret pavilion, and gritted his teeth angrily, "How do I get to the Seventh Chamber?"

The guard was so frightened that he shivered, and finally took back the frightened spirits, and said tremblingly: "This is a secret pavilion, and everyone must be notified when entering or leaving, and idlers are not allowed to enter at will."

Chang Yi immediately drew his cold sword, pointed at the guard, and said, "Xianzaren and others? We are the Jilin Army under the command of the Dianqian Division. How dare you call us Xianzaren and others?!"

The doorman fainted on the spot.

Chang Yi snorted coldly, and walked in with a dark face. Along the way, the students in the Secret Pavilion saw the menacing imperial guards, and they were all frightened. It's troublesome, because of the selfishness of the students in the same pavilion, no one came forward to show the way.

The road to the secret pavilion was full of twists and turns, and Chang Yi's rare patience was wiped out. With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him understood, and grabbed a student who wanted to avoid him. He stared coldly at him. The student said harshly, "Take me to Qizhai, or you won't survive tonight!"

The student was Chen Mingyuan from Shisanzhai. Although he was terrified in his heart, he still clenched his fists tightly to maintain his last sense of reason, and asked bravely, "What are you going to do with Qizhai?"

Chang Yi squinted her eyes, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Qizhai Yuan Zhongxin is suspected of using his position to secretly communicate with the Imperial Army and let the prisoners go!"

Chen Mingyuan was startled when he heard this, and was about to retort subconsciously, when a cold voice came: "Chang Dutou, you are the head of the Forbidden Army, so it's hard to coerce an ordinary student here, I'm afraid it can't be justified."

Chen Mingyuan looked to the source of the sound, as if seeing a savior: "Wood steward!"

The wooden steward glanced at Chen Mingyuan lightly, and said indifferently, "Chang Dutou comes with me, and I'll take you to Qizhai."

Chang Yi followed with a cold face, Chen Mingyuan sat on the ground in a daze, gasping for breath, just now did Chang Yi say that Yuan Zhongxin had secretly conspired with the Imperial Army to let the drug dealers go?How can this be? !

Chen Mingyuan looked at Qi Zhai's direction worriedly, and quickly got up on his hands and feet.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it is right to go to the rescue first!

Chang Yi kicked open the door of Qizhai. As soon as he entered, the forbidden army behind him immediately surrounded the whole Qizhai. Chang Yi saw Yuan Zhongxin, Wang Kuan and Zhao Jian sitting leisurely. Drinking tea in the pavilion in the front yard, his lazy appearance made him furious.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyes to look at the wooden door of Qizhai, secretly regretting that he had to spend time on repairing it by himself again, he looked at the wooden steward, and smiled lightly: "Wooden steward, you go down and do your work first."

The wood steward was worried, but he still turned around and left. At this time, outside Qizhai, many students surrounded him with worried and curious expressions.

Yuan Zhongxin walked out of the pavilion carelessly, and Wang Kuan and Zhao Jian both held long swords in their hands and followed him closely.

Yuan Zhongxin tilted his head, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Chang Dutou, why come to Qizhai so late, what's your business?"

Chang Yi sneered, with a sinister expression, and sternly shouted: "Yuan Zhongxin, I'm here to arrest you!"

Yuan Zhongxin was not in a hurry: "Oh, can you tell me why Chang Dutou wants to arrest me?"

Chang Du squinted his head, and his heart became even more angry: "Yuan Zhongxin, you are suspected of collaborating with the Imperial Army and released the prisoner we worked so hard to catch!"

Chang Yi's voice was so loud that even the people outside Qizhai heard it clearly, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Chang Dutou, you can't talk nonsense. Although I am a student, I can't help you to say that you are wronged. Let me ask you first, who is the prisoner in your mouth?" Which one?"

Chang Yi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stared angrily: "Yuan Zhongxin, don't pretend to be ignorant here. In the past few days, you don't know which prisoner you are in charge of?!"

Yuan Zhongxin suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. It turned out that Chang Dutou was talking about An Lijiu. Why, he escaped, and it can only be blamed on your ineffective supervision. How come the responsibility is all on me instead?"

Chang Yi's face was livid, and he pointed at Yuan Zhongxin and roared like thunder: "You quarreled with me today, and you clearly dissatisfied with An Lijiu's verdict. In order to prove that you are right, you disregarded the law and wanted to save Go to Anlijiu, and go investigate again! Our forbidden army guards strictly twelve hours a day, if you hadn't helped the forbidden army, how could Anlijiu have escaped?"

Yuan Zhongxin said unhurriedly: "Chang Dutou, you have an affair with each other, and I rescued An Lijiu with one sentence at a time. Do you have evidence?"

Chang Yi was stunned, and when he found out that An Lijiu had escaped from the camp, he was so mad that he immediately believed that it was Yuan Zhongxin who did it, and hurried to the secret pavilion, forgetting to search for evidence.

The corner of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said calmly: "Chang Dutou, I also went to see An Lijiu this morning, and the rest of the time was far away from the camp. Excuse me, how can I secretly communicate with the Imperial Army? Rescue An Lijiu?"

Chang Yi clenched the sword in his hand, wishing he could kill the calm young man in front of him immediately, and suddenly, he smiled sullenly: "Yuan Zhongxin, don't continue to talk tricks here, you are here You can't bring out Anlijiu yourself in the distance, but that doesn't mean you can't instruct others!"

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms: "Then who did I instruct?"

Chang Yi glanced at the three of them with cold eyes, but did not answer directly: "I remember that there seemed to be six of you at Qizhai, why are there only three of you left tonight?"

Zhao Jian's face was condensed, and he suddenly said: "Chang Du head, it's late at night now, and the students have to go back to their rooms to sleep, isn't this normal?"

Chang Yi sneered, and waved his hand: "Hmph, it's not normal tonight, you guys go and catch Yuan Zhongxin, and the rest of you, search for me, go to heaven and earth, dig them out for me The other three!"

As soon as these words came out, the forbidden army behind Chang Yi dispersed, Wang Kuan and Zhao Jian drew their swords out instantly, and in a flash, they came to Yuan Zhongxin's body, protected him behind him, and pointed coldly at that A group of imperial guards marched forward, their expressions were cold, and a cold light appeared in their eyes.

Wang Kuan's face was frosty, with murderous intent in his eyes, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in the cold winter air, he said coldly: "Whoever dares to touch him will surely die without a place to bury him."

The forbidden soldiers stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. They didn't recognize the identity of the person pointing at him with a sword. A daughter of Prince Zhao, a son of a king who participated in politics, with a strong background, they were not easy to mess with. , I can't guarantee that the unlucky one is myself.

Seeing his subordinates react like this, Chang Yi immediately smoked from his seven orifices, and he yelled angrily: "What are you doing standing there! Go and catch Yuan Zhongxin!"

Just when the imperial guards were in a dilemma, a sentence suddenly came from the door, "Lu Zhanyuan is here."

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes flickered slightly, and he stared at Lu Guannian who came suddenly with an unclear expression.

I saw Lu Guannian showing displeasure, frowning, his eyes hard to hide his anger, scanning the crowd, passing through layers of forbidden troops, and coming to Chang Yi, his voice faintly angry: "Chang Dutou, such a grand battle, What is it for?"

Chang Yi didn't take Lu Guannian seriously at all, he said disdainfully: "Director Lu, your good student Yuan Zhongxin let go of the drug dealer privately, why do you think I came here?"

Lu Guannian was extremely dissatisfied, and his tone was seven points hostile: "Chang Dutou, everything is evidence-based, you rushed in without evidence and arrested people, have you ever taken the law into consideration?"

Chang Yi didn't take it seriously: "The evidence comes out of the trial, if you don't try Yuan Zhongxin, how do you know if he is really innocent?"

But Wang Kuan said sarcastically: "The Forbidden Army is best at beating and beating, and their methods are cruel. At that time, they will create something out of nothing, forge evidence, and force people to confess their crimes. What is the difficulty for you!"

Chang Yi's expression was gloomy and cold, and he ordered: "As long as Yuan Zhongxin is really innocent, he should not be afraid of torture to extort a confession, even if the emperor personally interrogates him today! Someone, take Yuan Zhongxin down for me! Who dares to torture him to extract a confession? If you don’t obey my order, you will be punished by military law on the spot!”

Lu Guannian didn't expect Chang Yi to be so unreasonable, his face turned pale with anger, and he said sharply, "No one can touch my students!"

Chang Yi smiled cruelly: "Director Lu, this is beyond your control!"

Hearing this, the imperial guards didn't dare to hesitate any more, they approached Yuan Zhongxin step by step with their weapons in hand, Wang Kuan and Zhao Jian didn't back down at all, they moved slightly and were about to attack, Yuan Zhongxin suddenly spoke in a low voice :"do not move."

Both of them were taken aback, Zhao Jian disagreed, and said anxiously, "Yuan Zhongxin, if we don't fight back, you will really be arrested!"

The corner of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth raised slightly: "Don't worry, we still have rescuers who haven't come out yet."

Wang Kuan pondered slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he just said a person's name: "Liang Zhu!"

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded outside the door, majestic and loud: "I see who dares to take everyone here!"

Yuan Zhongxin smiled slightly, his eyes full of planning, and he said indifferently: "Wang Kuan, Zhao Jian, put away the sword."

The two put their swords back into their sheaths obediently, and looked at Liang Zhu who came suddenly in surprise.

Hearing the sound, even Chang Yi was astonished. She turned her head and looked behind her. The dozen or so people she had brought were being pushed aside by Liang Zhu's dozen or so nonchalant Xuanwu troops. Ruhong is hard to ignore.

Liang Zhu's face was cold, he held the epee, and walked straight in front of Chang Yi. He glanced at Chang Yi with disdain, and when he saw that Yuan Zhongxin and the three were unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was full of hostility. Looking closely at Chang Yi: "Chang Dutou, I heard that you want to take Yuan Zhongxin away?"

Chang Yi secretly competed with Liang Zhu. He himself hated Liang Zhu and gritted his teeth. Now that he was irritated by Yuan Zhongxin's incident again, he was so angry that his hand shaking with the sword: "Yuan Zhongxin is suspected of adultery with criminals." , naturally take it away!"

Liang Zhu sneered, and pointed his sword directly at Chang Yi, and yelled coldly: "Chang Dutou does things without distinguishing right from wrong. It is a big mistake to have no evidence and no evidence. Now you want to take the opportunity to avenge yourself. I think you are really hard to beat Dutou!" One term! Whoever dares to take away Yuan Zhongxin today, or anyone from Qizhai, I, Liang Zhu, will definitely not let him go!"

Liang Zhu had already demonstrated, and the Xuanwu army, without exception, pulled out their weapons and aimed at the Jilin army without hesitation. Even though the opponent had the upper hand in numbers, they still looked as usual and remained steadfast.

All of a sudden, in the backyard, the shadows of swords and swords rose violently.
