Chapter 239 Ancient Road Left
Xu Han led everyone to send the red-eyed Su Mu'an to the gate of Chang'an City. He gave this boy a good warning. Lunar Temple was truly too mysterious, and Xu Han knew very little about him. He could not tell him how to be specific. He just wanted him to be careful and not use his righteousness. In addition, he had prepared a good BMW for him, as well as enough luxurious intertwining for him to walk around the Great Circle and drink heaven and earth everyday.
After doing all this, Xu Han saw that Su Mu'an's eyes were still red. He mostly guessed that the other party was saddened by the death of his father.
"Don't worry about your father. No matter why the Emperor changed his order, he won't kill anywhere. I will definitely find an opportunity to seek justice for your father." Seeing Su Mu'an's appearance, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little distressed. At that time, he said with relief.
"Prefecture Head, how far can you go if you can trace him? The one who killed my father was the Long Night Division, Zhu Xian, and all you can trace is a scapegoat that was pushed to the surface by the Long Night Division. Besides, this father's vengeance.. In the end, it is most appropriate for my son to come and take revenge." However, Su Mu'an shook her head at that time and responded indifferently.
Xu Han was stunned by this reaction. He stared blankly at the boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old. He felt as if something had happened that night, causing the boy to grow up in an instant.
This was not the first time Xu Han had witnessed such great changes and growth. They were always accompanied by sad stories and suffocating oppressive feelings. For example, Song Yueming, who was still in the Exquisite Pavilion, had matured with Su Mu'an overnight, and that maturity made one's heart ache.
"Manor Master, after I leave, Zhu Xian will definitely find trouble with you. You have to be careful without me around." Finally, the little fellow did not forget to warn him seriously.
Hearing this, Xu Han felt that it was a little funny. However, when he came back to his senses, he realized that Su Mu'an 's strength just now had the qualifications to be his personal bodyguard. However, Xu Han had always treated him as a child and did not take it to heart. Seeing Su Mu'an 's sincere worry, Xu Han was instantly touched. Thinking about this personal guard, he had said it casually, but the other party was practically inseparable from him except for the necessary moments. It was obvious that he was performing his duties very seriously.
Thinking of this, Xu Han finally smiled.
"Then let's wait for this matter to be settled. You should come back quickly. I'll keep this personal guard's job for you." Xu Han said.
Hearing this, Su Mu'an 's gloomy thoughts improved a little. He nodded heavily at Xu Han.
"En!" With that, he leapt onto the horse, cupped his hands towards the crowd, raised the reins, and rode off on horseback.
..
The night was dense, and Xu Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the back of the boy riding his horse away.
"I didn't expect that this personal guard of yours really has a good background." Ye Hongjian, who was standing beside him, glanced at Xu Han, whose expression was not gloomy, and said softly. As she said this, Ye Hongjian's dark eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. There was a hint of a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was doing this on purpose
She teased Xu Han, wanting to make him feel better.
Xu Han naturally understood her thoughts. At that time, he smiled faintly and wanted to say something.
Unfortunately, the young miss Fang beside him was not a reasonable person. Hearing Ye Hongjian's words, she hurriedly echoed, "Yeah, why is this little fellow so powerful? Fortunately, he didn't really fight with me back then." At this point, she stuck out her tongue in fear.
She wasn't worried that Su Mu'an would really hurt her, but she was at least the Second Senior Sister of the Linglong Pavilion. If news of her defeat by such a little brat were to spread, it would be a bit embarrassing.
The little tacit understanding between Xu Han and Ye Hongjian was broken by the one-toned Fang Ziyu. At that time, the two of them couldn't help but glance at each other and smile helplessly.
"Alright, let's get ready to go back." Ye Hongjian said after that. After all, after this series of events, it was getting late, and everyone had to go back to rest.
However, just as Xu Han was about to nod his head in agreement, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Everyone was stunned at that moment. They all turned their heads to look, only to see a group of black armored warriors walking towards them. The auras of those armored warriors were restrained, and their footsteps were heavy. The most shocking thing was that there was a black or red wolf head hanging on their shoulders. That was the symbol of the Greedy Wolf Guards!
Xu Han frowned and walked to the front of the crowd. He looked at the Greedy Wolf Guards with a calm brow. There were more than three hundred people, almost all of them at the Three Elements Realm and above. There was no lack of experts at the Nether Opening Realm. Obviously, they were different from the Bu Soldiers brought by Yan Qingshan. This group of people must be the elites of the Greedy Wolf Tribe.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to rest today." Xu Han said with a deep gaze, but at that moment, his gaze landed on the top three of the group of armored warriors.
One of them, Needless to say, it was the Yan Qingshan who had just escaped, while the other was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He was tall and his muscles under the black armor bulged like a small mountain. Even Xu Han could feel the ground beneath his feet trembling with every step he took. Of course, apart from the two of them, what surprised Xu Han the most was that Prime Minister Zhang of Great Zhou was also amongst them.
"Those who come are not kind." Xu Han's heart skipped a beat, and his expression instantly became serious.
Right at this gap, the group of people had already arrived in front of Xu Han aggressively.
"Gu Daozuo, commander of the Greedy Wolf Tribe's Red Wolf Guard, has been ordered to hunt down the fugitive Su Mu'an! Please step aside!" The burly man walked in front of Xu Han and the others and spoke in a low voice. His head raised and his expression was arrogant, as if he did not care about Xu Han and the others at all.
However, Xu Han did not say anything. Of course, he did not move aside. Instead, he stood in front of the city gate with an indifferent expression, blocking the other party's path.
" Manor Chief Xu, what do you mean?" The man named Gu Daozuo frowned and asked unhappily.
It had to be said that this seemingly well-rounded man was extremely meticulous. At the very least, it was much stronger than the Yan Qingshan beside him.
He brought Yan Qingshan along with him, clearly knowing everything that had happened in front of the Tian Ce Mansion.
However, he didn't mention anything about Xu Han and the others stopping Yan Qingshan from entering the manor to capture Su Mu'an, because he understood that between Xu Han's identity and Yan Qingshan, it was unrealistic to beat Xu Han to death with just a few words from Yan Qingshan, and he might even be bitten back by the other party.
Instead of doing this, he wisely chose not to mention this matter. Instead, he used the name of chasing Su Mu'an to make way for Xu Han.
He knew very well that since Xu Han was willing to almost tear his face off with Yan Qingshan for Su Mu'an 's sake, Xu Han naturally had no reason to sit idly by and watch as he brought so many people to pursue them. At the very least, he would think of a way to delay them. Once Xu Han did this, there would be plenty of reasons for him to attack Xu Han if Zhang Xiang, who had never participated in court disputes, testified by the side.
This was a Yang scheme.
A Yang Mou who had placed all his calculations in front of Xu Han, yet Xu Han had no choice but to enter the urn.
After Gu Daozuo finished his question, he stopped and looked at Xu Han with a calm gaze. There wasn't the slightest bit of anxiety on his face when he was hunting down the escaped prisoner.
Xu Han frowned. He glanced at the old man who was observing his nose and heart from the side, as if he didn't care about the situation on the field at all. Then he said, "We've always been here. We haven't seen any escaped criminals. If Commander Gu wants to chase after us, I'm afraid he's looking in the wrong direction."
Hearing this, Gu Daozuo did not refute it immediately. Instead, he looked at Xu Han with interest. He had long since heard that the Young Lord of the Tian Ce Mansion didn't have any other abilities, only his mouth was full of kung fu.
Xu Han's words clearly fell into a dilemma, and Gu Daozuo enjoyed the pleasure of wantonly making a high-ranking person.
He looked at Xu Han with an embarrassed expression before he finally enjoyed himself. Then, he sneered and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is windy. Lord Manor Head, I think you might be mistaken. Please do me a favor." After he finished speaking like this, he acted as if he wanted to lead everyone forward.
"No!" Seeing this, Xu Han was shocked and suddenly stepped forward to stop everyone.
Zhang Xiang raised his eyebrows as he spoke. The corner of his eyes landed on Xu Han, and a wisp of happiness appeared on Gu Daozuo's face.
"What? Could it be that the Xu Clan is trying to stop this subordinate from capturing the criminal?" He smiled and asked, but that smile coupled with his face full of flesh made him look exceptionally ferocious.
The expression on Xu Han's face froze at that moment. He seemed to have realized how great a calamity his actions would bring. As a result, his body stiffened and he did not answer the commander's words for a moment.
" Manor Chief Xu is someone His Majesty trusts. How could he do such a thing? I'm paranoid. If there's nothing else, please let him go." Gu Daozuo seemed to be intentionally teasing Xu Han as he spoke sinisterly, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
"Commander Gu .. this .. criminal .. I really didn't see him here. I think it would be best if you led the troops to search the city now." Xu Han said with an embarrassed expression. Obviously, he had reached the point where his words were limited, and his words were rarely spoken in a sporadic manner.
" Manor Chief Xu, what are these words? I am under the command of Zhu Shouzuo."
"Does that mean that Zhu Xian can hear me, but I, someone from Xu, can't?" Xu Han said with a calm gaze. His tone was the same as his face, extremely low.
"What joke is Manor Chief Xu telling? The Greedy Wolf Tribe has always only listened to Zhu Shouzuo .."
After saying this, Xu Han's gloomy expression completely dissipated.
At that moment, the silent Prime Minister Zhang finally had a faint smile on his face.
