Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Xu Yuan felt a sudden panic in his heart.

She knew what Beiyao meant.

If people find out that she is really a descendant of the Xu family, even the emperor cannot guarantee her.

Because, in the capital, some people would be terrified just by hearing the surname "Xu".

There are so many things involved behind that unjust case.

If not for this, Xu Wenxian would not have waited until the late emperor passed away before going to the capital.

But even so, he still had no way to appeal for justice. Instead, he was retaliated against, assassinated, and had one leg crippled.

However, justice is clear, those who do wrong will always have to pay the price.

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao and said, "I can protect myself."

Beiyao did not answer Xuyuan's question, but just smiled and said, "It seems that there really is some big secret."

Make a wish: “…”

Hooked again.

Xuyuan moved away silently.

She should stay away from this person.

Seeing Xu Yuan's defensive look, Bei Yao asked again: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"No."

"Then how dare you go on this journey alone?"

“Just because it didn’t happen before doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.”

Xu Yuan bit the pancake with a cold look in his eyes: "Everyone has to go through that process, doesn't he?"

"That makes sense." Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and suddenly said, "If you go to the capital, don't ask about me."

"Why?"

"You are too smart. If a smart person cannot become an ally, then he can only..."

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and didn't say anything else.

But he knew that Xuyuan would understand.

If he cannot use such a smart person, he will not give him to others.

This opponent is too young and too scary.

Xu Yuan said: "Don't worry, I will stay away from everyone in the Shen family."

I will never drag down the Shen family.

Thinking of what happened before, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened, but after a moment, the coldness disappeared and her eyes were as clear as before.

Bei Yao saw it all, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said nothing.

-

It really rained at night.

Seeing that Beiyao and his group had no intention of continuing their journey, Xu Yuan was just about to find a place to take shelter from the rain when the black-clothed man from the daytime came over and said, "Mr. Xu, you can continue your journey now."

"Traveling overnight?" Xu Yuan was a little surprised.

Having seen Bei Yao's leisurely pace during the day, Xu Yuan felt that they should wait until the rain stopped before setting off.

At the very least, we shouldn't set out at night in the rain.

"My lord said that we should attack them by surprise and not stop for a moment. We must reach the Geshu tribe tonight."

After the man in black finished speaking, someone in night clothes came out from behind the tent.

His face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

He looked over from afar, and Xu Yuan's heart trembled for no reason.

That's murderous intent.

The horse stopped, and Beiyao said, "Let's go, I'll take you to kill someone."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan came to his senses, touched his bag, and stood up.

The wind and rain whistled past.

Xu Yuan imitated Bei Yao, covered his face with a scarf, rode up and asked, "Three people, is that enough?"

"More than enough."

Perhaps it was because of the cold wind, the man's words also carried a chill.

When they talked during the day, Xu Yuan could still hear a little smile in their words. But at this moment, all she could feel was an endless chill.

Is this his true nature?

Xu Yuan was a little confused, but he knew very well what he should and shouldn't ask, so he collected his thoughts and followed the two people.

At the end of the desert, there was a desolate area. Xu Yuan rode in front to lead the way until a bright light appeared. She lowered her voice, clamped her horse's belly and slowly stopped, saying, "We are almost there."

Bei Yao looked up after hearing this, and then ordered: "Okay, stay here and wait for me to come back."

"What...what do you mean?" Xu Yuan didn't understand.

"I asked you to stay here." Bei Yao glanced at Xu Yuan and said, "Don't you want to live? The people of the Geshu tribe kill without blinking an eye."

"So you just said murder?"

"I lied to you."

Bei Yao said, "Chen Shan, look at him."

"Wait a minute." Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Are you not going to take anyone with you?"

There were quite a few people in Beiyao’s group, but only three of them set out at night.

She, Beiyao, and another man in black named Chen Shan.

Xu Yuan now understood what the phrase "more than enough" meant.

Love is when a person feels that being alone is enough.

Bringing one more person is to protect her.

The reason I brought her along was to let her show me the way.

"No need." Bei Yao lowered his eyes, glanced at Xu Yuan, and finally said: "Keep your life and take your city defense map."

Before Xu Yuan could say anything, Bei Yao waved his whip and rode away.

On the side, Chen Shan also got off the horse, held the reins of the two horses in his hands, and stood still as a mountain.

Xu Yuan asked: "Aren't you worried about your son?"

"do not worry."

"What if something happens?"

"In front of you, there is no such thing as a miracle."

Chen Shan replied to Xu Yuan's words in a serious manner. After he finished speaking, he added: "Don't even think about running away. The young master has said that if you can't become one of us, then I can only send you to become a wandering ghost."

Make a wish: “…”

Very well, she shouldn't have worried about that person's safety.

It would be better to die in the Goshu tribe and never come back.

After thinking about all the vicious words in his mind, Xu Yuan asked again: "Are your young master and Mr. Shen brothers? Why don't they look like brothers?"

"Mr. Shen is the eldest son of the first wife, and Mr. Shen is the second son of the second wife."

"So are you a servant? Or a secret guard or assassin?"

According to Tianqi laws, officials are not allowed to store private soldiers in their residences.

This group of men in black were well-trained and did not look like ordinary servants.

"I am the follower of the young master. I know some martial arts, but not much."

"Oh." Xu Yuan nodded, "Then after you find the tribute, will you return to the capital?"

Chen Shan nodded, probably thinking that Xu Yuan's question was a bit tricky. No matter what Xu Yuan said afterwards, Chen Shan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan stopped asking questions.

With nothing to do, she squatted on the ground and pulled the weeds. Not long after, a burst of chaotic noises was heard and she immediately stood up.

In the distance, flames shot up into the sky and a group of people rushed out.

When Chen Shan saw this, his expression changed slightly.

Xu Yuan murmured, "Could something have happened?"

The tribute was so huge that Xu Yuan didn't believe Bei Yao could bring it out by himself.

She also guessed that Beiyao’s target might not be tribute, but she couldn’t figure out, if not tribute, what else could it be?

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Chen Shan's face was tangled for a while, and finally he said: "You wait here, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and rushed towards the fire.

Xu Yuan came to his senses, quickly jumped on the horse and prepared to run back.

Before he ran two miles, he remembered what Chen Shan said before, and he cursed: "Just think of it as repaying the Shen family's kindness, and we will never owe them anything again."

After saying this, she grabbed the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and ran towards the camp of the Geshu tribe.
