C246 An unexplained misunderstanding

The two directors of Surveillance Council did not dare to be careless. After the Shadow and Yan Luo looked at each other, they had already made a preliminary arrangement.

"Ha ha, everyone. May I know why you have surrounded us here?" Yan Luo was not like the ice cold face of the figure, he was rather easy-going, thus he stopped the thousand man elder who wanted to fight him with force, and reined in his horse to ask.

"As long as we are here, we will not allow you to deal with the people of the Situ Family. We owe a great debt to the Great General Situ, even if we have to die, we have to protect him well!" An old man of considerable age said in a clear voice. After he finished speaking, his voice echoed out like a tsunami. It could be seen that these people were all twisted into a single line.

"Old sir, maybe you have misunderstood, I am indeed going to pay a visit to the Situ Family, and not harm them?" Yan Luo explained with a smile on his face. Although 'reaching out your hand and not hitting people with smiles', these citizens still did not give the smiling Yan Luo any face.

Look at him, although he's wearing a mask, his killing intent and the people around him are all filled with killing intent. Just now, what he said was clearly against the Situ Family, what kind of good news would it be for him to bring a group of people to the Situ Family? The old man asked angrily while pointing at the subordinates behind Shadow and the others.

"This ?" Yan Luo was speechless, he smiled bitterly at the shadow beside him, he could neither laugh nor cry.

It had to be known that the shadow had always been this way, even when talking to the dean, it would still be this cold. Furthermore, his subordinates were each more ferocious than the other, and each of them had smeared blood on their hands, perhaps even more than the amount of alcohol he had drank. For such a group of people, not to mention going to do business, even if he was a good friend, they might still be the same kind of 'dog won't change its way of eating shit'.

"I was born like this, we do have people who are looking for Situ Family! All of you, back off! " Shadow no longer had any temper. Although he treated his enemies ruthlessly, against these weak ordinary citizens in front of him, he could not muster up the slightest bit of killing intent.

"When we were suffering, none of you came to our aid, but now that someone allowed us to escape disaster, all of you want to harm Situ Family's benefactors. Don't even think about it, unless you step over my dead body! Otherwise, we would never have let you touch a single hair on your benefactor's head! " The old man continued to speak without flinching, not listening at all to the two Surveillance Council s' explanations.

Just as the two sides were engaged in an intense confrontation, a pair of cavalrymen suddenly came rushing in their direction. The moment this person arrived, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down. Who was this person?

The person who came was none other than Situ Qingyun, he happened to be passing by, and now that the follow-up matters had been settled, under the urging of his nephew, he also prepared to meet the person called Cheng Zhipeng. If he wanted to know where he lived, the best way was to meet the City Guard Commander Ni, and his destination was the City Guard Army's Palace.

"General, there seems to be a crowd gathering over there!" One of the janissaries warned Situ Qingyun as he spotted the gathering place from afar with his sharp eyes.

"Follow me!" Situ Qingyun had also noticed that place, he thought that the people from Sword League did not change and had come back to cause trouble, so he spoke to the guards.

Situ Qingyun brought his personal guards and slowly came to the gathering place. The common citizens, seeing that it was Great General Situ, gave way for them to bow, and when Situ Qingyun and his men came out, they saw the people of Surveillance Council in the center.

Situ Qingyun, on one hand, was from a noble family background, and on the other hand, was a great general of the empire, so his status was incomparably noble. With his rank, he still had a certain level of understanding towards the Surveillance Council, and from their service, he could tell that they were the people who were supervising the Academy. What made him even more surprised was that the people of Surveillance Council were suddenly surrounded by the ordinary people, which act were they singing?

"May I ask if this general is General Situ Qingyun?" Yan Luo immediately asked. The reason why he could recognize Situ Qingyun with a single glance was all because of the detailed information in the Surveillance Council. Any official or martial general in the empire would have an extremely detailed information, and a portrait of himself would also be attached at the same time. As the director of the Surveillance Council, he knew all about the database well, so she recognized them with one look.

"It's me, may I know who you are? What are you looking for me for? " Situ Qingyun cupped his fists and asked humbly.

"General Situ, they have ill intentions, these people are asking for the exact location of the Boxer Mansion with killing intent, we are afraid that these people will want to harm you, so we will stop them here, General don't worry, as long as this old man still has a breath of life, they will not even think of touching you!" Before the other party could say anything, the old man spoke first, his voice filled with righteous indignation.

"Right, don't even think about touching you!" The old man's words resonated once again. The surrounding people all shouted together. Their voices shook the heavens, and their auras were like rainbows that shot into the sky.

Hearing the old man's words, Situ Qingyun frowned, his doubts became even stronger, he did not understand what had happened, and so he looked at Yan Luo who spoke first with a puzzled expression: "You guys came to find me? I wonder what crime I have committed? "

Situ Qingyun was also a presumptuous person, after hearing the words of the old man, he could not understand why these people were here. If they were really here to cause trouble for him, then according to the Surveillance Council's way of doing things, he would not put these common people in his eyes, and would have already ordered them to ask him about it. However, the other party was still looking at him with a smile.

The reason why Situ Qingyun had asked that question just now, was just because of a method of 'throwing a brick into a jade'. The goal was to directly point out this matter, so as to prevent both sides from doing all sorts of twists and turns.

"Haha, Great General Situ, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding! Actually, the two of us are following the order of the Principal to deliver a letter to the Boxer Mansion! " Yan Luo's smile did not change, but the bitter smile in his heart became stronger and stronger, this was the first time he felt such unspeakable bitterness. However, he still had to brace himself and explain. A misunderstanding between an ordinary citizen was nothing. If this great general had misunderstood him and caused some sort of military mutiny, he would have been torn to shreds long ago without the Headmaster's order to capture him.

"Send a letter?" Then let me ask you, what position do you have in Surveillance Council? " Situ Qingyun obviously could not believe it, and so he asked.

"It's only the seven chiefs of the imperial city's surveillance department!" Yan Luo cupped his hands and introduced himself simply.

"What about him?" Situ Qingyun pointed to the shadow again and asked.

"Sixth Chief!" Yan Luo continued with his simple introduction.

"The two chiefs came to my Boxer Mansion just to deliver a letter? I'm afraid that some of them have overused themselves? " Situ Qingyun sneered, at the start, he believed that the two of them had no enmity towards him or the Situ Family, but now, he had no choice but to be cautious, he had never heard that the Surveillance Council's letters required the two great chiefs to personally send, so it was obviously a very strange thing.

"Hehe, Great General Situ is overthinking it. The Principal obviously has other arrangements, but the Lord Principal emphasizes that we must deliver this letter. You should also know Lord Principal's temper!" Yan Luo thought quickly, and immediately knew that the general in front of him had misunderstood him, and explained once again.

"Then I won't trouble you two. Hand over the letter, and I'll deliver it in your place. What do you think of this?" Situ Qingyun's voice was cold, but his tone was polite, and said indifferently to Yan Luo.

"This ?" It's better if we don't bother the great general, and send it over ourselves! " Yan Luo was a little at a loss as to how to continue. His original intention was to borrow the talisman from Shadow, to see what the person he had to obey looked like, and also to test his abilities. If the talisman was sent on his behalf, then they would probably have no choice but to obey orders.

"Don't you believe me?" Situ Qingyun raised his tone a bit, as if he was angry.

"Hehe, this ?" Great General Situ is in trouble! " Yan Luo laughed awkwardly, and said slowly.

You don't believe me, you can come with us, and the two of us will not bring anyone, but if that is still not possible, then we can only use force, Surveillance Council has never been afraid of anyone before! His tone was still cold, but the contents had a feeling that there was no room for doubt. It was as if if if he did not agree, he would start a war.

As soon as he said that, Yan Luo immediately felt sweat trickling down his back. His gaze drifted towards Situ Qingyun, afraid that he would hear the word "no" from his mouth, then things would truly become lively.

"Alright, that's it. The two of you, follow me!" Situ Qingyun was not an unreasonable person, seeing the two of them not bring anyone back to the residence with him, he immediately lost all caution, and a tinge of admiration appeared in his heart. He had always hated scheming and scheming, and liked straightforward people.

"Thank you, General!" Yan Luo was perspiring profusely and returned the greeting politely.

"Everyone, it might have been a misunderstanding just now. Now that I've brought these two back to the manor, I think everyone should disperse first. Qing Yun is here to thank everyone for their help. "Thank you for your trouble!" Situ Qingyun turned his head and said to all the citizens present in a loud and clear voice, and then bowed deeply after he finished speaking.

"Benefactor, quickly rise! How can we be worthy of the worship of our benefactor? We are all people who are coarse and do not understand anything. As long as you can do something for our benefactor, even if we are to die for you, we will not hesitate!" When the commoners saw that their benefactors actually wanted them to bow, they became terrified. Under the leadership of the elder in the lead, close to a thousand people gathered in the surroundings. A large group of them kneeled down.

"My lord, please get up, everyone quickly get up, I, Situ Qingyun, am a general who goes to war with a general, to fight in the battlefield is my fate, to protect my family and country is my mission, even if I, Situ Qingyun, die in battle, I will not let ordinary people die in front of me!" "This is my promise, and also my code of conduct!" Situ Qingyun hastily held the old man up, then waved his large hand in the air to support the kneeling citizens. At the same time, he spoke loudly towards the silent audience.

After Situ Qingyun finished speaking, the people around him started crying and kneeling down again. They were crying and the situation could not be taken care of.

He had to admit that the people of Fengyang City were too emotional. Their tears were like flowing water, they really did not need money. After a moment of comforting and trying to be humble, the gathered commoners dispersed and the scene returned to normal.

Then, after listening to the orders from the two directors and his subordinates, Situ Qingyun brought them back to the Boxer Mansion encampment.
