Yan Guang City was the prefecture of Jing Zhou.

He wasn't the only way to cross Jing Zhou to Liao Zhou, but it was the nearest one.

Xu Han was unwilling to take such a variable path in order to save this short amount of time. Even under the strong demands of Li Dingxian and his son, who wished to investigate Jing Zhou's situation, this thought had not changed.

What really made Xu Han change his mind was that when everyone was resting two days ago, Fang Ziyu somehow became interested and begged Meng Liang to lend her the sword on his back.

How could Eldest Young Master Meng withstand Fang Ziyu's plea? After a few hypocritical rejections, he finally surrendered and handed the sword on his back to Fang Ziyu.

When Fang Ziyu opened the white cloth wrapped around the sword and revealed the purple sword beneath it, Xu Han's eyes narrowed and he immediately smelled a familiar scent from the strange sword.

He rudely grabbed the sword from Fang Ziyu's hand, and after carefully measuring it for a while, he looked at Meng Liang with a strange expression.

The other party seemed to understand the inquiries in Xu Han's eyes. He only lightly nodded his head and did not say anything else.

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep in the inn, Xu Han stood up alone and went to the hall of the inn. At the time of tacit understanding, Meng Liang, who was dressed in black, had already come out and waited for him.

Seeing Xu Han arrive, the other party stood up and smiled at Xu Han, saying, "Let's go?"

Xu Han nodded, so the two of them stepped into the small city less than three hundred miles away from Thin Light City.

The conversation between the two of them wasn't long. There wasn't any unnecessary probing, so they went straight to the point. It was simple and straightforward.

"That sword is ..?"

"Evil Dragon."

"Did Wang Yangming ask you to bring it?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I can't figure out what the old man is thinking."

"I think I might know something."

"Huh?"

"The Mausoleum of the Swords is in trouble .. that kind of trouble."

..

Compared to Phoenix Cloud Town, where there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, Yan Guang City was naturally considered prosperous.

Of course, there was indeed no comparability between a small border town and a prefecture, but since the moment they stepped into Yan Guang City, everyone still felt a completely different aura compared to other cities in Jing Zhou.

The city walls were filled with Chu Xuan flags. Although the streets were filled with pedestrians and merchants, almost every shop sign was also fluttering with the Chu Xuan flag. The crowd walked down the street, Whether it's pedestrians on the streets, It was also the conversations from the wine shops on both sides of the street. The most talked about was how holy the Emperor of Da Chu was. Sooner or later, the Da Chu Dynasty would rule the world and boast about their children being baptized into Saint Weapons in the Sacred Palace. Of course, whenever anyone mentioned this, the people beside them would inevitably cast envious gazes at that person.

If the people inside came here without knowing, they would most likely subconsciously think that the Great Chu Emperor must be able to govern the country well, and that was why the people felt the same way.

However, Xu Han smelled something different from the various comments he could hear casually. How could there be such a beloved emperor in this world? No one was perfect. Even a sage would find a way to find fault with him, let alone a fallen emperor who had ascended the throne halfway. Most people had never seen him before.

However, whenever these commoners mentioned anything about the emperor, their eyebrows were filled with an almost fanatical expression of admiration. Just this alone was enough to cause people to be puzzled.

The people walking on the streets of Thin Light City all realized this. Their gazes met, and they all saw this kind of doubt in each other's gazes.

"Saint Armament has arrived!" Right at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away.

The crowd immediately boiled. Whether it was the pedestrians on the street, the diners in the inn, or the shopkeepers, they all put down the things in their hands and looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

Hundreds of black-armored armored warriors walked over from the intersection of the street. Behind them, there were about a dozen white-clothed youths. Their faces were silent and their auras were restrained. Without exception, Xu Han could smell the unique scent of half-demons on their bodies. It seemed that these youths were undoubtedly the so-called Saint Weapons.

"Is this the youth who successfully became a Saint Weapon today?" The people on both sides of the street pointed at the procession and began to discuss.

"That's right, I'm really lucky to be able to become a Saint Weapon and serve His Majesty!"

"It's a pity that my child hasn't survived this trial."

"That's also his honor. My child will be ten years old in three months. At that time, I will send him to the Sacred Palace. Even if he dies, His Majesty will have to be loyal to him."

At that time, the conversations of the surrounding people entered the ears of Xu Han and the others. Everyone's expressions became even more strange. If they had talked about the name of the Great Chu Emperor earlier, These commoners were all sincerely convinced and could be attributed to the perfect public opinion offensive of those in power. However, if these commoners did not value the life and death of their children as important as the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, then there would be too many strangeness in this.

One had to know that Da Chu had only been established for less than two months. How the other party had tamed these subjects of Da Xia to be so obedient was an unimaginable matter.

The sage once said that the law of heaven was the desire of man. Two months had made the people completely forget the fact that they were the people of Great Xia and worshipped the emperor twisted. Although this kind of ruling method that almost annihilated the desire of man was something that rulers dreamed of, no one had ever truly accomplished it.

"Greetings, Lord Saint Weapon!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Just as Xu Han was thinking about this, the crowd shouted again. The Saint Armament troop had already arrived in front of the crowd. The commoners spontaneously let out such shouts, and then all knelt down at that time.

This made Xu Han and the others stand out from the rest of the crowd. The soldiers who were walking in front of the group also gave Xu Han and the others fierce gazes. Xu Han, who had regained his senses, hurriedly pulled the people down at that time. After all, they had more important things to do when they came to Yan Guang City. It was not a good thing for them to be put in the eyes of those who had the heart too early.

All of them were smart people. They came back to their senses and hurriedly bent down. Only the little prince, Li Dingxian, seemed to be rather displeased with this. He did not immediately bow down. Only after Li Moding , who was beside him, scolded him in a low voice did he hunch down his body with unwillingness.

At this moment, the so-called Saint Weapons happened to pass by Xu Han and the others. At this moment, the people nearby cried out in alarm, and the atmosphere could be said to have reached its peak. Xu Han raised his eyes slightly and carefully observed the Saint Weapons, wanting to sense something from them. He had done such a thing extremely secretly. At least, in Xu Han's opinion, unless he was an Immortal Realm expert, it was impossible for him to detect his aura.

But just as his divine sense touched the saints, one of the eldest-looking saints suddenly frowned and looked at Xu Han.

Xu Han was shocked and quickly withdrew his divine sense while lowering his head.

The youth looked deeply at Xu Han at that time and then turned his head.

Xu Han naturally felt this. He was puzzled as to why this youth could sense his existence, and at the same time, he was secretly a little scared. He felt that the other party had probably sensed his actions just now..

At this moment, the crowd suddenly rang out again. However, unlike the previous praise, the noise this time was filled with hysterical curses.

"It's him!"

"It's this thief again, obstructing His Majesty's great cause!"

"That's right! I heard that he even tried to destroy the Sacred Palace. Fortunately, the Sacred Armament Lords fought hard and finally caught this fellow."

The crowd discussed, Suddenly, unpleasant curses rose up. Xu Han and the others also raised their eyes and saw a heavy soldier escorted prison cart right behind the Saint Armament Parade. On the prison cart was a young man in his early twenties. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were covered in frozen blood scab. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured.

His face was also rather pale, and his gaze was dim. However, deep within the dim depths, there was a trace of resentment that contained both grief and anger.

The cursing crowd seemed to feel that this was not enough to relieve their anger, so some vendors began to take out the things they sold, from eggs to cabbage, from soup to hogwash. At that time, the angry crowd threw them onto the prison cart, and the already dejected young man's face became even more pale under the impact of these things.

"Brother Jiang!" But at this moment, Li Dingxian, who was beside Xu Han, let out a cry of alarm. He shouted loudly and suddenly stood up, as if he was about to step forward.

Fortunately, Xu Han was quick to stop him.

Even so, the soldiers who had doubts about Xu Han and the others had discovered Li Dingxian's movements.

"What are you doing!" The warrior shouted loudly, and dozens of his companions surrounded him. The bright swords and swords left their sheaths, and their sharpness pointed straight at Xu Han and the others.

The procession immediately stopped, and everyone's gazes turned to Xu Han and the others.

"I just felt that something was wrong. Are you the accomplices of this thief?" The leader, Jia Shi, looked coldly at Xu Han and the others and shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention the surrounding soldiers, the expressions of the commoners who looked at Xu Han and the others also became gloomy and cold. The things flashing in those eyes seemed as if they wished they could cut Xu Han and the others into thousands of pieces on the spot.

Xu Han lowered his eyebrows and stared at the guards around him.

These people naturally can't keep him, but once he makes a move, it is destined to attract the attention of the people with the heart, then this will inevitably bury a lot of hidden dangers for his purpose of coming to Yan Guang City and even out of the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, Xu Han's heart sank, but he was definitely not an indecisive person. After giving everyone a glance, the sword intent around him stirred and he was about to attack.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait."

"These people are my friends. I wonder if there is a misunderstanding?"

Xu Han and the others were stunned. They all looked towards the direction where the voice came from, only to see a young man smiling at them from within the group of Saint Weapons.

Xu Han clearly remembered that this youth was the youth who had just sensed the location of his divine sense..
