Chapter 207 Ambush
After nearly twenty days of the journey, Xu Yang harassed the system so badly that it was not good, so later, the system often turned a blind eye to Xu Yang's call and focused on the fun of eating chicken.
Xu Yang was also helpless. What could he do if he had such a system that was so depressed and cheated? He was also very desperate.
But no matter how desperate the harassment continues.
The system said that it is also desperate to have such a shameless and persistent host.
I spent all the way happily in the struggle between cheating and fighting against cheating.
Finally, we arrived at the imperial capital.
The system and Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally there was no need to fight each other.
It was early October, and it was early winter. The imperial capital was located in the north and was already in a state of solemnity.
The yellow leaves on the tall trees have basically fallen out, only a few dead leaves are left on the dead branches, which are shaking with the north wind.
The people I met on the road were all fancy. Obviously, the failure of the Northwest War caused Qianlong to increase his exploitation of the people. The so-called geese have left their hair behind, but that's it.
As the crowd entered the city gate, fortunately, Xu Yang had been in the imperial capital for a long time, and there were no flaws in his words and there were no contraband on him. The city gate guards checked casually for a while and then let him go.
Xu Yang did not rush back to the house. After all, he offended Prince Hongzhou before. In order to get rid of the responsibility of defeat, Hongzhou would definitely bite himself out in the court. Now, there are countless hawks and dogs in the court near his mansion.
Why bother with them? To hurt the enemy three thousand and damage eight hundred of them. If you can, you will be exempted, let alone have other important things to do when you come to the imperial capital.
Xu Yang still found an inn to stay. When the sky was getting a little darker, he simply changed his appearance with disguise, then changed into a luxurious coat, and went to Zhan Tong's house.
It's time to harvest a last wave of herbs.
When I came to Zhan Tong's house, I unexpectedly didn't see anyone outside the door, which was quite strange.
However, after observing the navigation system, Xu Yang sneered.
It was because I had implicated Zhan Tong, so naturally I should solve everything myself, right?
Xu Yang is not a person who is afraid of trouble, he is just a little afraid of trouble.
I stepped forward and knocked on the closed door. After a long time, the door was slowly opened.
It was Zhan Tong who opened the door. He saw that he had lost a lot of weight compared to the past, and his face was particularly sad.
Zhan Tong was a little surprised to see that there was an unrecognizable businessman standing at the door.
"Did this boss find the wrong person?"
"Is this the residence of Lord Zhan of the Guard Office? Yes, I'm not wrong." Xu Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, who are you looking for?" Zhan Tong was a little confused about the situation of the person in front of him.
Xu Yang didn't care about anything, and just pushed the door open and went in.
"Stop, private residence, how can you break into trouble?" Zhan Tong was a little angry with the person in front of him. Although he was unfavorable in recent years and was implicated by his friends, he was still a big guard at least, and his third-rank official position has not been removed. What was the situation of this businessman? He is so bold?
"I have a thousand-year-old snow ginseng. I heard that Lord Zhan bought strange medicines from all over the place and visited them specially, but it was disappointing." Xu Yang said while observing the movements in the house.
The house was indeed abnormal. None of the servants and maids who came in and out on weekdays were seen. Even if they opened the door, they had to ask the head of the family Zhan Tong to do it themselves. It was too much.
When Zhan Tong heard that there were good herbs coming to him, his eyes lit up habitually, but then he became dim again.
He said with a bitter face: "Boss, you are late. I will no longer buy any medicinal materials here. You should go and ask other people."
Xu Yang smiled and said, "This may not be the case."
Then he rubbed his face for a while, and the medicines used for disguise fell to the ground, and soon his true face was revealed.
"You!" Zhan Tong saw Xu Yang's face clearly, and the surprise expression on her face flashed and then turned into a fearful expression: "Brother, go quickly, there is an ambush here!"
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen people had already jumped out of the inner house. Then one of them laughed to the sky, applauding while laughing: "As expected, I wonder if Mr. Xu still recognizes me?"
Xu Yang sneered, and he naturally recognized the short but imposing old man in front of him.
Isn’t it Bai Zhen, the most trusted lackey around Qianlong, who is the master of the Songshan School of Boxing?
It is a bit different from Zhang Zhaozhong who can barely be considered as the first-class master.
Bai Zhen was following another dozen subordinates, and together with those who jumped out before, everyone's eyes were shining with their temples, and they held various weapons. Obviously, they were all not weak.
However, Xu Yang's focus was not on these people. Everyone under Bai Zhen's men held a woman and a child, most of these people were recognized by Xu Yang.
They are all Zhan Tong's family.
"The disaster is not as good as my family. Master Bai's actions are a bit too much, right?" Xu Yang's tone turned cold. This behavior is not only a bit too much, but is simply a taboo in the martial arts world.
As one of the few masters in the world, Bai Zhen actually did such dirty things that even a gangster might not be able to do. He really deserves the best.
The shame on Bai Zhen's face flashed, and then he pretended to be serious and said, "The superiors and the inferiors are effective. Since Guan Zhantong colluded with the treason thief Xu Yang, his family members also had joint crimes. If they act like this, the national law is well-founded!"
"Haha." Xu Yang sneered: "Zhan Tong is my friend. What's my behavior? What's up to him? Besides, you, Brother Bai Zhen and the current emperor are also my friends. Why don't you arrest your own family and ask for guilt? Why don't you go to the Forbidden Palace to arrest Qianlong's family and ask for guilt?!"
"Bold!" Before Bai Zhen could not help but speak, a big master couldn't help it. He rushed up and stabbed Xu Yang with a sword. The sword light was shining. It was obviously a master of swordsmanship.
“Bold!”
"stop!"
The two voices came out almost at the same time, and Bai Zhen's hand was still hanging in the air. The master had already retreated quickly withdrew after twice the degree.
To be more precise, Xu Yang brushed his sleeves and shook him back.
Bai Zhen's eyes were no longer staggering figure. He just stared at Xu Yang and said sadly: "No wonder I dare to enter Beijing alone. After not seeing him for several months, Mr. Xu's skills have already made such a leap forward. In time, who in the world will be your opponent?"
The meaning of this sentence shocked everyone around him.
The difference is that Zhan Tong showed both surprise and joy, while those experts in the inner world all looked surprised.
Bai Zhen’s words undoubtedly admit that he is no longer Xu Yang’s opponent.
Everyone present clearly understood Bai Zhen’s kung fu. If he admits that he will lose, then it can be said that all the big masters will not be the opponent of the vulgar middle-aged man in front of him.
He...he is so scary?
