They must have the highest Wu Gong, be ruthless, and speak little.\" Lao Qifeng naturally dared not delay and immediately dispatched two Nine-Bag Elders to escort An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, An Ziyang had three people and three horses at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang looked like a playboy who had indulged in too much debauchery; the two Beggar Sect elders, who practiced hard-body techniques, were both eight feet tall with arms like cast iron, and they were also carrying two Great Shamans tied up like rice dumplings on their horses. It looked as suspicious as it could possibly be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers guarding the city saw this and exclaimed, \"Whoa! What is the meaning of this? This human trafficker isn't even trying to hide it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A 'hook' bringing two thugs, and the people are still tied to the horses as they enter the city? Are you trying to get on my nerves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers guarding the capital's gates were different from those in the prefectures below. As long as you weren't wearing an official uniform, they would stop you even if the Wu Dangpai Sect Leader came. An Ziyang and his two companions were dusty and travel-worn, clearly Jianghu people, and he wasn't intimidated at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately raised his long spear and stepped forward to block them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dismount!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang lifted his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!

Now that he had the chance to get it back, he naturally wouldn't let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already quite a few commoners waiting to enter the city at the gate, as well as some small vendors trying to make a living, who had gathered to watch the excitement when they saw the soldier stop An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the soldier scared into sitting on the ground and unable to speak, the commoners also changed color and lowered their heads in unison, not daring to look at An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang was showing off in front, but the two Beggar Sect elders felt he was truly lacking in class, so they covered their faces with their sleeves and followed on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the three were walking toward the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the crowd, a playful gaze looked toward An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The An family boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li has recruited him into the Embroidered Uniform Guard, has he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang was suddenly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is looking at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He played with mechanisms and hidden weapons, was most skilled at plotting against others, and was equally skilled at guarding against being plotted against.

Even when angry, she seemed to be smiling, and when she glared, she was full of affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure was not tall, but rather petite. Yet standing in the crowd, she was like a touch of crimson, making everyone else look dull by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of deer-like eyes looked at him curiously, and she smiled beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with An Ziyang's experience, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a beauty who could topple a country!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other time, he would definitely have dismounted to get to know her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was not a person who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was not. He was on an errand for Li Miao and had no time to waste on a woman. He just glanced at her, sighed inwardly, and walked into the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman turned and left, and when she reached a place where no one was around, her figure flashed suddenly and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang, with the two Beggar Sect elders, arrived outside the Embroidered Uniform Guard office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he had taken off his outer robe, revealing the Embroidered Uniform Guard saber Li Miao had given him. The Embroidered Uniform Guard at the gate knew they were their own people as soon as they saw the saber and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, which lord's command are you under?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Under Master Li Miao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Embroidered Uniform Guards' expressions became solemn, and they suddenly became respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come in quickly.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard at the gate led the way, guiding An Ziyang inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jianghu people enter the Embroidered Uniform Guard's doors, they either enter lying down or tied up. Being invited in like this, both the Beggar Sect elders and An Ziyang couldn't help but look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Embroidered Uniform Guard saw that the three of them looked like they had never seen the world, so he tactfully began to introduce the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the office for documents, that side is where the Company Commanders on duty work, and further on is the office for the Battalion Commanders of your Northern Internal Guard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, An Ziyang thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Embroidered Uniform Guard office, apart from having more military officers wearing sabers, doesn't feel any different from an ordinary government office?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not as terrifying as the Jianghu rumors say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a bit afraid, but as he walked, his nervous emotions gradually dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Embroidered Uniform Guard office doesn't have anything special about it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Beggar Sect elders following behind thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked all the way to Li Miao's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Embroidered Uniform Guard took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang instructed the two Beggar Sect elders to wait outside the door, and then walked into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the door, a chubby middle-aged man came to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, who are you looking for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang originally thought he was a gatekeeper, so he didn't pay much attention and swept his gaze over him casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Leader Deng!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was suddenly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't this chubby middle-aged man the Hengshan Sect Leader Deng Baixuan!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jianghu fame is not worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Baixuan waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you looking for, little brother? I will lead you to see them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang said blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Following Master Li Miao's instructions, I am looking for his foster daughter, Li Xiaosi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Baixuan smiled kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, looking for Miss Xiaosi. You came at a good time, little brother. She is currently in the office, it seems she is interrogating prisoners in the jail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take you to the courtyard to sit for a while first, and I'll go tell her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he took An Ziyang into the small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, An Ziyang heard a series of dense sounds of swords clashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding ding ding ding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed the sound and saw two women sparring with swords. The sword moves were extremely exquisite, but it seemed there was some old grudge, and their strikes were slightly ruthless. Beside them, a man and a woman were watching with helpless expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the faces of the three, he was stunned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Songshan Sect Leader, Zhou Yingxue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huashan Sect Leader, Liu Baiyun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two watching the battle on the side, are they Hengshan Sect Leader Zhang Jingfeng and Taishan Sect Elder Gao Ling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Five Mountains Alliance meeting has moved here to be held!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at the Five Mountains Sword Sect as if they were nothing in front of Li Miao, but in the Jianghu, they were all famous major sects. Any one of them was a big shot An Ziyang would never get to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were all gathered here at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang gripped his hands in his sleeves and forced himself to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Baixuan led him to a side room, then turned to find Xiaosi, leaving him to wait here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang's thought of \"Is this it?\" regarding the Embroidered Uniform Guard had completely dissipated, and he was even a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a young man in his early twenties walked in, and as soon as he saw An Ziyang, he greeted him enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, are you also here to report to Master Li today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang had been a bit nervous, but hearing that this person was the same as him, he immediately relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! What is your surname, brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My surname is You, You Zi'ang.

Long admired, long admired!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two became intimate in a moment and chatted enthusiastically. You Zi'ang moved a chair, sat next to An Ziyang, and whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you probably haven't stayed with Master Li much, so you know little. In Master Li's office, second-rate experts are like dogs, and first-rate experts are everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and I are both weak here. Since we are fated, we must look out for each other in the future to get ahead under Master Li!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely, definitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Zi'ang saw that he agreed, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good. I just came to see you, I have things to do now, we brothers will gather again later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he pressed his hands on An Ziyang's arm and was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang suddenly felt something was wrong and raised his hand to grab You Zi'ang's sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, return my things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Zi'ang didn't look back, his arm circled in a flash, trying to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang's eyes narrowed, his arm also circled in the same way, and he suddenly looked up at You Zi'ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Godly Thief Sect!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You too!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Zi'ang also exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were actually practicing the same technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Zi'ang laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, since we are from the same sect, you should know our sect's motto—a thief never leaves empty-handed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I owe you this time, I'll let you steal it back later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, his figure shrank, and he actually took off his clothes directly.
