Yun Yan walked into the room with Chang Xi in her arms and said with a smile, "Don't kiss me here. We're going to be paraded in public soon." Then, she helped Xu Xian adjust his clothes.
Xu Xian touched her cheek and said, "It's such a joyous occasion. Why do you make it sound like we're going to be beheaded?"
Yun Yan giggled but didn't favor one over the other. She also helped Pan Yu adjust her clothes and praised, "Sister, you've made all the women in the world proud.
The miraculous' Three Elements of Consecutive Middle 'actually came from a woman's hands. If my Teacher Yin knew about this, I don't know how happy he would be! "
Pan Yu pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "I've never thought about making anyone proud. Besides, who's your sister? Do you want to take advantage of her?" Yun Yan didn't want to show weakness, "I just haven't had the chance to make a move yet."
Xu Xian could only hug them in his arms and comfort them.
Then, he went out with Pan Yu.
Chang Xi squatted on the table at the side and was dumbfounded, "Meow, that's amazing. He eats both men and women!"
Hearing her thoughts, Yun Yan lifted Chang Xi up on her back and teased, "Not to mention men and women, even a cat like you might not be able to let him go."
Chang Xi shuddered, "Meow … No … No way!"
She was filled with fear towards Xu Xian, who was "so hungry that he couldn't be choosy". She covered her face with her paws and looked like a worried human, "Even if he wants to do something, he should at least wait until I recover my human form!"
Yun Yan moved her face closer to Chang Xi's cat face and stared into the pair of amber cat eyes. "Hmm, have you already accepted your fate?
In other words, when you recover your human form, you can let that guy do whatever he wants? "
Chang Xi was embarrassed and waved her paws desperately, "Wh … What? I didn't mean that!"
Yun Yan laughed out loud. Suddenly, she stopped laughing and said darkly, "Then I'll let you be a cat for the rest of your life." Seeing Chang Xi trembling in fear, she laughed again.
Only then did Chang Xi realize that she had been teased by her again. She secretly hated herself for becoming stupid after turning into a cat.
She angrily jumped out of Yun Yan's arms and turned her back to Yun Yan. She swore that she would no longer care about this woman who was more evil than Hu Xinyue. She had once admired her so much.
Yun Yan extended her jade-like finger and gently scratched Chang Xi's chin. Chang Xi couldn't help but let out a comfortable meow. After a while, she was already lying on her back, enjoying Yun Yan's touch.
Sigh, I've been completely defeated by my cat instincts.
Yun Yan snickered in her heart. When Xu Xian wasn't around, teasing Chang Xi was her greatest pleasure.
But she suddenly thought, when her husband teased her in bed, was it like this?
This sudden thought made her face blush.
She subconsciously licked her rosy lips. Perhaps, she should let her husband stay in her room tonight.
Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with affection and her cheeks were rosy. Her gorgeous and charming appearance was enough to enchant any man in the world.
The gongs and drums had been waiting outside the door for a long time. The honor of the parade granted by the emperor was at this moment.
There were three tall horses, one red, one black, and one white. They were all dressed in red and decorated with precious lids and carved saddles. They looked very majestic. The three wooden plates behind them were written with golden characters "Zhuangyuan", "Bangyan", and "Tanhua" respectively.
The gate of Prince Yu's Mansion was already crowded. When Pan Yu and Xu Xian came to the gate, the gongs and drums suddenly became much louder. People cheered and congratulated endlessly. Such a festive and lively scene brightened up Xu Xian's somewhat gloomy mood.
Pan Yu smiled. She cupped her hands in front of her chest and elegantly mounted the red horse.
Xu Xian followed closely behind. He mounted the white horse and went to greet Cheng Cangjian. Officially, they began the parade of "Riding high in the breeze of success, seeing all the flowers of Chang 'an in a day".
According to the ranking, Pan Yu should be greeted first, followed by Cheng Cangjian, and then Xu Xian. However, since Xu Xian and Pan Yu lived together, they didn't have to worry so much.
Xu Xian cupped his hands in front of his chest and said to Cheng Cangjian, "Brother Cheng!
Congratulations! "
Cheng Cangjian returned the greeting with a smile. "Same to you."
Everything that happened yesterday made him feel that life was incredible. He, who was originally depressed about being in the second rank, was inexplicably placed in the first rank. Moreover, he was ranked Bangyan, which was even higher than Xu Xian.
"Cangjian, long time no see."
Pan Yu's gentle smile made Cheng Cangjian slightly stunned. Her black and white eyes made him feel suffocated. He could not help but turn his eyes away. But he immediately came to himself and cupped his hands in front of his chest. "Long time no see." Although Cheng Cangjian saw Pan Yu in the hall yesterday, he did not go up to her.
On the other hand, Pan Yu was even more guarded against Cheng Cangjian. He was afraid that Cheng Cangjian would be able to see through him. Cheng Cangjian was a little upset that his "good friend" did not say a word.
Xu Xian, who was a bystander and had learned his lesson, sympathized with him.
No matter what the three were thinking, the parade continued. Wherever the procession went, it would be crowded. Not only the streets, but also the teahouses and inns on both sides of the street, and even the willows and pagoda trees were all crowded with onlookers. Only the thieves in Chang 'an City could make a profit.
The appearance of Pan Yu and the other two was quite suitable for the onlookers. Pan Yu's handsome appearance and Cheng Cang Jian's elegant and unrestrained appearance were needless to say, while Xu Xian, with his tall and stalwart figure and calm demeanor, did not lose to the two at all.
The three of them rode side by side, attracting countless people's admiration.
Xu Xian did not expect that there would be so many people in Chang 'an, and there were many foreigners in the crowd. In this era, even in the whole world, Chang' an City could be considered as one of the most cosmopolitan cities!
In this era, the term "worship of foreigners" had not been invented. There were only disparaging terms like "Northern Barbarian", "Western Rong", "Eastern Barbarian", and "Southern Barbarian". Moreover, only the strong were qualified to use "modesty" to entertain guests from all over the world. It was not like the later generations, where people could only use modesty to comfort themselves.
At this moment, Xu Xian could not help but feel a sense of pride. With his experience that surpassed a thousand years, he could definitely bring some changes to Huaxia in this world!
Of course, he could not play the game of intrigue and the ups and downs of officialdom. He could not blindly rely on magic to cheat, or else the Heavenly Court would intervene sooner or later. But the woman beside him was an elite. As long as he told her all his ideas, she would naturally weigh the pros and cons.
If he had been an ordinary person, he would not have such ideas. But now that he had won the third rank, he was sure that he would be promoted soon. He did not want to sit in a position without doing anything, so he wanted to show some of the light and heat of a time traveler.
While Xu Xian was thinking, he did not notice that the second floor of the inn next to him was not as crowded as the other places. A few cold eyes peeked through the window and followed the procession.
Cheng Cangjian lowered his voice and said, "Something is wrong."
Pan Yu said, "The murderous aura is coming for me."
"Murderous aura?" Xu Xian asked in surprise. He immediately sensed the abnormality on both sides of the inn and rode to Pan Yu's side.
As soon as his voice died away, Pan Yu said, "Here they come!"
The windows of the inns on both sides of the street suddenly opened. Seven masked men held crossbows and shot seven bolts at the same time. The arrowheads were dark blue, which was obvious that they had been smeared with deadly poison. In a flash, the bolts arrived in front of Pan Yu.
Cheng Cangjian's expression changed as soon as he saw the crossbows. He did not expect the assassin to have such a deadly weapon. He only had time to shout, "Be careful!"
In this era, swords and saber shops were everywhere, but crossbows were definitely forbidden goods. The sudden attack of seven steel crossbows was enough to kill most of the so-called masters in Jianghu.
Just as Pan Yu was about to make a move, another white-feathered arrow arrived. It pierced through the air, but it was silent. It had surpassed the speed of sound. This was the real killer move.
At such a close distance, even a martial arts master would not be able to react in time. Even Pan Yu, who had opened the Conception and Governing Vessels, could not say that she could block all the arrows unscathed, let alone the long arrow. However, she did not intend to make a move, and there was not a trace of worry on her face.
Because in Xu Xian's eyes, these seven small arrows crawled over like snails, making him a little impatient. This was also why he did not have any warning signs in his heart. There were a few mosquitoes that wanted to bite him, and they were also super slow mosquitoes. It was really difficult for him to feel any sense of danger. Even the long arrow that contained inner force was just a slightly faster mosquito, and he caught it first.
Xu Xian looked at the assassin on the roof, who seemed to be the leader. He was also masked, and the bowstring of the black bow in his hand was still vibrating.
Finally, when the seven crossbows were in front of him, he reached out to take them down one by one and threw them to the ground.
Cheng Cangjian only felt a flash in front of him, and then he saw that all the arrows were gone.
The surrounding crowd was still in a daze, but the guards in the honor guard had already reacted. Some of them surrounded Pan Yu and the others, while most of them shouted and rushed into the houses on both sides. "Catch the assassins!"
This shout didn't matter, but the crowd instantly went into an uproar and scattered in all directions. Just as they were about to be trampled on, they heard a loud shout. "Everyone, don't move!" This voice contained great majesty.
Everyone involuntarily stopped in their tracks. This was the effect of Xu Xian's Thunderous Spell.
The eyes of the archer on the roof were full of shock and confusion, but he immediately abandoned his companions and turned to run away.
Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and did not chase after the archer. A spiritual light imprinted on the back of the assassin.
After a while, the captain of the guards reported that the assassins on both sides of the building had died of poison. His back was already drenched in cold sweat. In just two days, Great Xia had almost lost two top scholars.
Pan Yu nodded slightly and thought about it. The cost of such a group of assassins was not small. The Pan family had countless enemies, and it was impossible to determine where the assassins came from.
"Cangjian, you handle it!
Hanwen and I will go back to the residence first. "
"If there is any news, I will go to the residence to look for you." Cheng Cangjian nodded. With such a thing happening, the parade could no longer continue.
Seeing Xu Xian and Pan Yu riding away, he looked at the scattered crossbows on the ground. Although he did not see what happened at that moment, he had already deduced from the last confrontation with the Hu people. "This Xu Xian is really not simple."
"Hanwen, why have you been clenching your fists since just now?"
Xu Xian waved his fist and said, "These are the souls of those seven people!
When we catch the archer at night, we will know who did it. "
