"Gao Wei, stop right now." From the other side of Chang'an Street came the sound of hooves.

"Kill the Snitch for me. "Kill them all." Gao Wei shouted from under the eaves.

A soldier's sword stabbed towards Yan Wenqing, the folding fan slicing across his throat.

"Gao Wei, stop." The shouting got closer and closer and the horses stopped. Looking at the chaos in front of them, the woman and the child were like headless flies, the child was reluctant to throw away the delicate lanterns in his hands, which were drenched in blood.

"Yuchi Xiang?" Why is he here? " Gao Wei looked at General Yuchi, who was seated on his horse, in shock. The mighty general anxiously looked at the scene before him. His beard was soaked in blood.

"Stop." Hearing someone's shout, all the soldiers turned to look at Yuchi Xiang before turning their heads to look at the blank expression on his face under the eaves.

"Don't stop, kill the thieves for me. Who would dare disobey the imperial court's order?" Gao Wei continued to shout, completely ignoring the more powerful General Yuchi.

A constable holding a large sword looked towards Ni Fei's back, who was hugging the girl. Just as the large sword was about to reach his back, the constable's large blade fell to the ground with a clang. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and stabbed into Ni Fei's back with a sword.

No one can kill the hero in the hearts of the people.

"General, this is His Majesty's decree. These bandits stole things from Changan City. Many of the lord's residences were stolen, so how could they leave such a person behind?"

"Are you trying to catch a flying thief?" Yuchi Xiang said unhappily, "Killing the innocent here and losing so many innocent lives under your swords. Could this be His Majesty's decree?"

"The imperial edict stated that no matter what price you had to pay, you had to capture the flying bandits." Gao Wei seemed to argue with reason.

"Does this include the killing of innocent people and the destruction of their homes? "Tall man, you've twisted His Majesty's meaning." Yuchi Xiang looked at Gao Wei with dissatisfaction.

"But this bandit is causing so much trouble that people in Chang'an City are unable to calm down." The adults in Chang An City are always on guard. If they can't catch this thief, Chang An will not be able to calm down. " Gao Wei said.

"You said that this flying thief had caused the people of Chang'an to panic, but what about these people?" Yuchi Xiang looked around at the wounded people and the civilians lying in pools of blood. "Did you just say that they risked their lives to protect the thieves?"

"How would these commoners know what exterminating violence and safety is?" Gao Wei was still proud and arrogant.

"Does squashing the people mean exterminating evil and good?" Chen Feiyan, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear to see Gao Wei's self-righteous face any longer.

"Who do you think you are to dare to speak to me in such an impolite manner." Gao Wei heavily shook his sleeves.

"Now that Chang'an Street has lost so many lives, how will you deal with it?" Yuchi Xiang asked worriedly.

"They sacrificed their lives for the imperial government. Their deaths are worth it." Gao Wei disdainfully looked around at all the dead and wounded people.

"Did the tall man say it so lightly? Did he die in the right place? That is life falling under your brutal swords. Do you think that death and separation of life and death is worth it? " Yuchi Xiang said angrily. Only he could speak to Gao Wei in such a manner. In that huge imperial court, he was the only one who possessed such prestige. He was Yuchi Xiang, and His Majesty had to show him some respect.

The little girl that Ni Fei hugged tightly into his embrace. Her eyes were filled with fear as her gaze slowly shifted to her mother who was beneath the eaves. She suddenly cried, "Mother, I want my mother." Mother, take me home. I'm so scared. " The little girl wanted to struggle free from Ni Fei's grasp, but was tightly held by him.

"Look, this is not the sin of the thieves, but the sin of all of you." Yuchi Xiang pointed at the soldiers and shouted.

"Song Lai. Song Lai." Gao Wei shouted under the eaves, and immediately a person walked out from under the eaves.

"Milord." That person lowered his head, not daring to look at the furious Yuchi Xiang.

"Those unfortunate citizens will each receive five taels of silver." Gao Wei said unhappily, as if he was threatened by something.

"Hehe, the tall man sure is magnanimous." Su Guangren said indignantly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Are their lives only worth a mere five taels of silver?"

"Song Lai, give each victim three taels of silver." Gao Wei coldly looked at Su Guangren.

"Dog Officer." Ni Fei was finally unable to endure any longer, "It's not something that money can make up for. Money cannot make up for. Money cannot make up for the lives of their loved ones, nor can it make up for their mother." Ni Fei pointed at the little girl and angrily said to Gao Wei.

"What about us dead and wounded officers and soldiers?" Gao Wei pointed at the bodies of the soldiers lying on the ground.

"Brute force your way out of here! Take your men with you!" Yuchi Xiang said to Gao Wei.

"I'm taking this flying thief." Gao Wei turned his gaze towards the masked men in black standing not far away. Everyone was staring at him. He was the cheering knight from Chang'an Street, and although he was standing there, no one could see his face.

"The citizens of Chang'an Street are willing to sacrifice their lives because I, Yuchi Xiang, am not willing to take them away either." Yuchi Xiang looked at Yan Wenqing, who was standing there quietly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"General Yuchi, this is His Majesty's decree. Could it be that you're acting in defiance of the imperial edict for the sake of this traitor? I'm afraid ?" Gao Wei casually said. His expression clearly showed that he was in control of the imperial edict, regardless of whether he was a noble or not.
