"I also heard that if one were to be able to catch a flying thief, he would be rewarded with a hundred gold and silver taels. I think the tall man went for those." Yuchi Xiang said openly.

Everyone in Chang An City knew that Gao Wei was a man who loved money as if it were his life. Even in the imperial court, he could protect himself from the rain and the wind.

"General, what you said is incorrect. I, Lord Gao, have cast aside the matter of reuniting with my family and came to Chang'an Street to capture bandits for the good of the citizens of Chang'an City and for the peace of their lives." Besides, how could I break this waist for those silver taels? " Gao Wei said indifferently. He hadn't lost his arrogant and hateful demeanor, not even when facing the aloof General Yuchi, the one who had a hard time leaving His Majesty's side.

"Putting aside the matter of the reward for the time being, His Majesty's decree was for the good of the citizens. Now that the citizens are here to protect the Feixia, we can see that this Feixia guy is theirs. Wouldn't capturing him go against His Majesty's decree?" Yuchi Xiang looked at the masked Feixia who was not far away.

"A thief is still a thief." Gao Wei disdainfully said. His eyes were full of contempt and hatred for Yuchi Xiang. Perhaps he really had blocked his path to riches, but of course, he had stripped away all of his pride in the presence of His Majesty and the ministers.

"He is the hero of the people." A person walked out from behind Yuchi Xiang and said loudly. He was complaining about the 'thief' character that Gao Wei had spoken. It was Chen Zhengnan. His hair covered most of his face.

"Hehe, hero? Was it a hero who made things difficult for the people in Chang An city? The thief who steals gold and silver is a hero? Is the one who made all the adults worry for him a hero? " Gao Wei said word for word, "Tonight's moon is bright, but everyone's eyes are not bright."

At this moment, Chen Zhengnan grabbed the sword beside him, "If you want to capture the Feixia, then ask me if this sword is stained with blood."

Haha, I am a minister of the imperial court. How dare you threaten me?" Gao Wei felt that Chen Zhengnan's words were a little strange. He thought about how he himself was also a minister of the imperial court, a person with a lot of prestige. Yet, he was actually threatened by a nameless nobody.

"Naturally, I do not dare to threaten the tall man, but this sword is fine." Chen Zhengnan said indifferently. He raised his sword and looked at the two sharp blades.

Hearing the words of this arrogant man made Gao Wei very angry. In the dim light, the muscles on his face twitched, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? You dare to speak to me like that?" He shook his sleeves vigorously.

"You're not allowed to say anything about my dad." The seemingly gentle Chen Feiyan suddenly became angry because of Gao Wei's words.

Chen Zhengnan pulled Chen Feiyan to the side and asked, "Can you see what I am?" With that, Chen Zhengnan pushed his hair away from his face. Under the illumination of the fire, his face looked extremely old, especially his burned face.

Gao Wei was stunned for a moment. This face was very familiar to him. Immediately, his face was filled with astonishment, "Chen Zhengnan?"

"Fortunately, the tall man still remembers me." Chen Zhengnan said with a hint of hatred.

"You are not... "It's not ?" The higher ups became indecisive.

"He's not dead, is he?" Chen Zhengnan laughed out loud. His laughter was very desolate, "God forbid me to be killed like this."

"I have nothing to do with your family." Gao Wei hurriedly said, "That was all planned by Wang Tong." At this point, Gao Wei's tone became sluggish, "Sir Wang's death and you ?"

"That's right. I was the one who killed Wang Tong. Doesn't he deserve to die?" Chen Zhengnan looked at the shining sword in his hand.

"That has nothing to do with me." Gao Wei seemed to feel an inexplicable murderous aura approaching him.

"If you unconscious officials like you and Wang had tried to outdo me back then, would I have become like this, with my wife and family destroyed and my life ruined." Chen Zhengnan's tone became as cold as the moon, "What I did all those years ago was not for the sake of the people of the world, but in the end I was persecuted like this."

"You have to know that this world belongs to the common people. He doesn't belong to His Majesty alone, neither his surname is high nor his surname is Chen. I, Chen Zhengnan, can no longer act for the common people, but there will always be people who think for the tens of millions of people, just like him, the hero of the common people, the Feixia." Chen Zhengnan pointed at Yan Wenqing who was quietly standing there.

Chen Zhengnan turned around and solemnly said to Gao Wei, "Now, he is neither a flying thief nor a lowly thief. He is the hero in the hearts of the people, even becoming the spiritual belief of the poor citizens."

Gao Wei was silent, but his face became dark and his eyes showed displeasure.

Chen Feiyan walked up to Ni Fei and pulled the frightened little girl back behind Chen Zhengnan.

"Great man, this won't do. If you let the flying bandits go, it would be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain." Qin Yi walked out of the house with a limp, clutching his chest. He walked behind Gao Wei. His face was covered in blood, and the corner of his mouth was still bleeding.

"A useless thing." Gao Wei contemptuously said. He had a very disappointed face and his eyes were filled with anger.

Yuchi Xiang looked at Chen Zhengnan, who stood to the side. Chen Zhengnan understood Yuchi Xiang's intention and immediately returned the sword to his follower. He and Chen Feiyan turned to leave, with Ni Fei and Su Guangren following closely behind.

Gao Wei glanced at the soldiers who were standing not too far away from him. Slowly, the soldiers raised their bows and pulled the strings behind Chen Zhengnan and the others.

"Be careful!" Zheng Min shouted.
