Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 637 The Formation Rises
The next morning, outside the Dongxuan Gate in Zhenxi Prefecture.

Since the establishment of the Mo Nan Du Juxi Prefecture, the focus of defense has shifted westwards. The Zhenxi Prefecture City has naturally shifted from the front line to the rear, and the attributes of the important border pass have gradually transformed into a transportation hub.

Before the dawn, various carriages loaded with goods had already lined up in a long queue waiting to enter the city.

Teams of fully armed soldiers filed out and began to maintain order at the scene.

Merchants and clerks dressed in various styles were running back and forth, giving orders and making preparations for entering the city.

Compared with the first two, the sword-carrying caravan guards seemed to have much more free time. Naturally, they had no work to do once they entered the Zhenxi city area. They gathered in groups of two or three to chat and gossip.

"It's so damn unlucky. I finally made the trip to Western Xinjiang, but I ran into a curfew."

"What's so bad about this? Once the curfew comes out, we'll probably have to stay in the city for two or three days. This is a good opportunity for the brothers to have some fun. We haven't had any meat for more than a month."

"You idiot! Use your brain to think about why there is a curfew. There must be a fight in the west! With the boss's behavior, he must be seeking wealth and fame at the risk of his life. If we are unlucky, we will probably have to pay more attention."

"what?"

"."

"."

Listening to the conversations of the ordinary warriors around him, Si Zijing glanced at the ponytailed woman in casual clothes beside the bed, and suddenly laughed:
"It seems that the situation here is more complicated than we imagined. Are you sure you won't return to Beijing?"

Xu Mengxi turned around suddenly when she heard this, frowning:

"I came here because I knew about this. Qin Weishu used his life as bait and started a war now. He must have big plans."

Si Zijing's voice was slow and leisurely, with a hint of ridicule:

"Then you are really not afraid of death."

While talking,
"Rumble--"

Deafening roars suddenly resounded through the sky, and dozens of city gates of varying sizes in the east of the city were slowly lifted up. The long convoy of cars that had been stagnant all night slowly began to move forward.

Following the carriage, Si Zijing smiled and said:
"Although Brother Huang asked me to take care of you before he died, you should know that this is just a care."

"I never counted on you, Mr. Si."

Xu Mengxi held the knife in his waist and said in a neutral tone, "I am already very grateful that you can hold back from attacking me."

"Maybe the commander-in-chief is wrong. The emperor has promised us to join forces. You are loyal to the emperor and you can't doubt his orders, right?"

Si Zijing shrugged, his voice was full of teasing: "We should be considered comrades now."

Hearing this, Xu Mengxi subconsciously clenched his sword tightly and looked back with a look that looked like it could kill people.

Among the five people from the Secret Investigation Department, three of them, including Brother Huang, have died, and the only remaining person has also suffered serious injuries.

The Black Scale Guards suffered almost no losses.

Si Zijing seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and smiled gently:

"I'm sorry for the death of your colleague from the Secret Investigation Department, but I think you should put the blame on the Qin family instead of my Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

At this point, his words took on a hint of coldness:
"And you don't think that we, the Black Scale Guard, have nothing to lose in this matter, do you?"

"."

Xu Mengxi silently let go of the sword, and Qiansheng apologized:
"Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

Si Zijing waved his hand and said slowly:

"Compared to these, Xu Dutong, are you really not going to consider what I told you on the way?"

"what's up?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. I'll ask you again, General Xu, do you want to come work for us?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Xu Mengxi glanced at the feminine man beside him and whispered:
"If Xu Yinhe's men were all fools like you, the world would probably not have started a war."

"That's really too much." Si Zijing narrowed his eyes and smiled as he stared at him for a moment, showing no sign of anger. He then turned to look at the gorgeously dressed caravan owners around him:

"Raising a glass to the moon, kneeling on the ground to pick up small change, this is the life story of most people in this world. General Xu, as the disciple of the Chief of the Secret Investigation Department, you are inherently different from them, but you are still so strict and dedicated. You must have an ideal that you want to realize, right?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I just think that your ideals may have some similarities with those of the Prime Minister."

"Oh, his ideal?"

Hearing this, Xu Mengxi suddenly chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her narrow and beautiful eyes:
"To slaughter loyal people and eliminate dissidents is his ideal? To follow the authority granted by the emperor and commit disloyal acts to steal the country is his ideal? To start a war and bring disaster to the lives of all people in the world is also his ideal?!"

"."

Si Zijing's eyes showed a trace of thought, and he replied seriously:

“These are means to an end, not an end.”

Xu Mengxi suddenly stopped, her face as cold as snow:

"Then, Mr. Si, has the ideal that can only be achieved through such vile means been distorted in the process?

"To package the struggle for power as the ideal of reviving the Yan Dynasty? That's stealing the country and becoming the king.

"Mr. Si,

"Different road non-phase plan."

"."

The words fell, and there was silence.

The two of them walked side by side into the gate in silence, and then passed the imperial document to enter the Zhenxi Prefecture City.

Xu Mengxi walked in front, and Si Zijing Banluo followed behind.

His eyes were fixed on the other person's dangling ponytail, and as pedestrians on the street kept passing by in his peripheral vision, the smile in his eyes gradually became colder.

At this point, he had actually confirmed that Huang Shiwei was completely lying to him.

When reporting the progress, he had already asked Lou Ji about the other party's relationship with the Third Young Master. The General Manager's answer was very simple. As for this woman, it was probably just the Third Young Master's bad taste.

Since the other party had nothing to do with the Third Young Master and had already expressed his resolute attitude, Si Zijing was somewhat hesitant as to whether he should take this opportunity to directly kill the upright disciple of the Chief of the Secret Investigation Department.

It’s not because of what Xu Mengxi just said.

He had heard this kind of remarks dozens of times, if not a hundred. These remarks were made by corrupt scholars who totally ignored the reality.

It was not because Xu Mengxi was blocking the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Traveling all the way west, this woman tracked the trail all the way here without any external help, which already shows her ability. But she is at most just a talented general. How can a mantis stop a chariot?

He wanted to kill her because of her identity.

Living people are of little use, but dead people can be used to make something of themselves.

Xu Mengxi's death in this turbulent Western Frontier would not have any impact on the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the contrary, her death could even be pinned on the Qin family, thereby uniting the big shot of the Secret Investigation Department.

Quickly calculating the risks and benefits of this move in his mind, Si Zijing slowly approached the woman with dangling ponytail from behind.

And just at this moment,

"Om-"

A buzzing sound that echoed throughout the Zhenxi Prefecture suddenly spread across the sky. At the same time, Si Zijing sensed that a terrifyingly oppressive aura of a formation had suddenly locked onto him.

I subconsciously looked up at the sky.
A layer of translucent light film has been rapidly constructed above the sky.

The city defense formation of Zhenxi Prefecture was fully activated.
As doubt and vigilance spread in his heart, Huang Shiwei's voice quietly rang in his ears:

"Mr. Si, please come to the government office. The Third Young Master wants to see you."
