When Cui Qiyan and the two rushed out of the study, the private guards of the Yan Mansion had surrounded them.

Yan Chao was disheveled and it was obvious that he had arrived in a hurry. His face was livid, and he said angrily: "Bold thieves, how dare you break into my house. Come here, capture them for me, life or death!"

After hearing the order, twenty or thirty private guards rushed forward with swords in their hands.

Without saying a word, Cui Qiyan and the expert tacitly agreed to give their backs to each other and fight with the private guards.

Both of them had outstanding skills, and the private guards were no match for them, but they were temporarily trapped by the sheer number of people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Chao shouted loudly: "Use arrows, shoot them to death with arrows!"

Within a moment, a dozen more people came and pointed at them with bows and arrows.

Most of the private guards were injured. When they saw the archers coming, they immediately retreated for fear of being accidentally injured.

Cui Qiyan and the others retreated toward the outer wall in response to the sharp arrows. In this constant battle, they approached the corner of the wall.

"Fuck them all, don't let them escape!" Yan Chao looked fierce, completely different from usual.

The private guards rushed up again, and the two of them fought with them for a while.

"Come on, I'll come to the rear -" the expert said in a deep voice.

Cui Qiyan thought for a moment, turned around and ran towards the outer wall.

The man used a long sword to block the people who wanted to stop him. He had the aura of one man standing in front of him and ten thousand men unable to stop him.

Cui Qiyan quickly jumped up to the wall and said to the people below: "Get out!"

The man swiped his long sword, forcing the man back a few steps, and seized the opportunity to jump forward.

"Cum for me! Kill them!" Yan Chao's eyes were cracked.

The archers immediately unfurled their bows and set arrows, and shot sharp arrows like rain at

they.

At this time, the expert was already close to the wall. Cui Qiyan reached out and grabbed him, and the two of them jumped down from the wall.

"Chase me! If you can't catch someone, don't even think about it!" Yan Chao said sternly.

After hearing this, the private guards ran out of the door.

The two people who jumped from the high wall rolled several times on the ground due to the impact.

Cui Qiyan stood up first and walked over to pull the expert away, only to see an arrow hit his left arm.

"You are hurt."

"A little flesh wound," the man stood up and unconcernedly pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground. Blood dripped down his fingers like beads on the ground, but he didn't even hum, as if he was injured on someone else, " They are coming after them, sir, let’s go separately.”

"it is good."

The two of them ran in two different directions.

The private guards who followed also divided into two groups and chased them separately.

Yan Chaoping withdrew the servants and came to the study alone. The scene in front of him almost made him fall.

The room was in a mess, the machine array was opened wide, and arrows were scattered all over the floor.

He ran to the book shelf in horror, squatted down, felt for the mechanism at the bottom, and opened the drawer. He took out the remaining two books with shaking hands, and when he saw the torn pages, his face turned pale with fear.

The two groups of private guards lost track of him not long after they chased him. Finally, the leader asked them to continue searching, and he went back to report the matter.

"What do you mean a person has disappeared?" Yan Chao was furious, stood up and cursed, "A bunch of losers have been supporting you for so many years, but they are of no use at the critical moment! Go and find them for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to give them to someone." I'll find it!"

The man's body trembled, "Sir, calm down, I'm going to hunt you down now."

Yan Chaoshou

With a wave of his hand, he called someone in and said, "Go ahead and give the order. The city gate is only closed for entry and exit. No one is allowed to leave."

After arranging these, Yan Chao was still restless and pacing back and forth in the hall.

His steward, who was also his confidant, asked: "My lord is so anxious, but what important things have been lost?"

"An account book was stolen by them..." Yan Chao frowned. They were obviously here for the account books. Only he knew the contents of the account books and where they were stored. He found someone to set up a sophisticated trap. He thought it would be foolproof, but he didn't expect it to be broken.

Fortunately, they only got one copy, but even so, the content on it was enough to make him lose his head.

Although the housekeeper had never seen the account book he was talking about, he knew what he had done, and he knew something was wrong after just a moment's thought.

"Sir, do you think it was Mr. Nie from the capital who did it? We have been peacefully together for these years, why did such a big thing happen when he came here?"

"How could it be him?" Yan Chao subconsciously denied, "How could he, a young man who sneaked into the Metropolitan Procuratorate with his help, have such good skills? Besides, I have sent people after he came to Yuzhou. Following him, I know exactly what he has done. He was just looking for flower thieves and did not do anything unusual."

"The villain is also guessing. He is the only outsider at the moment, so he has to be suspicious."

Yan Chao thought about it carefully, and there was indeed an attendant beside Nie Zengqian. He looked like he knew some kung fu. Could it be that it was really the two of them?

It was about his wealth and life. Yan Chao would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. "Find a few people to follow me to the house. I want to see what this Nie Dushi is."

People are ghosts. "

The housekeeper immediately gathered people and took lanterns to follow him out of the house.

Cui Qiyan threw away the private guard and quietly returned to his room.

"Master, how come you've been here for so long and yet you're in trouble?" Ji Bai had been staying here. When he saw him coming back, he immediately asked in a low voice.

Cui Qiyan answered him while taking off his night clothes, "As I expected, Yan Chao really has a problem. He set up a trap in the study. If the experts didn't show up in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have to do everything." The earth comes out of Yan Mansion.”

Ji Bai was shocked, "A magistrate's house can be so dangerous. If I had known, I would have gone with you no matter what. Fortunately, there is an expert, but when did he come?"

"I didn't ask. It should have been the order from the Holy One to help him secretly." Cui Qiyan took off his clothes, leaving only his middle coat.

"Is the master injured?"

"No," Cui Qiyan stared, "that man injured his arm."

He took out the damaged book and the piccolo.

"Is this... the evidence that the master obtained from Yan Chao?" Ji Bai asked doubtfully, "What is the origin of this flute?"

"It has nothing to do with Yan Chao. It's used to find the expert." Cui Qiyan pointed to the clothes on the ground, "Take care of it."

"Don't worry, Master." Ji Bai bent down to pick up the clothes one by one, held them in his arms and walked out of the room.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chao's eyes and ears discovered that Cui Qiyan did not light the lamp, so he came to the window and looked through the booklet with some moonlight, and vaguely saw the contents on it. He couldn't help but be delighted that it recorded the taxes paid by the people of Yuzhou.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the house door being opened outside, followed by the sound of a group of people's feet

The footsteps are getting closer.

Cui Qiyan narrowed his eyes, someone was coming.
