Peerless Xuantian Record

Chapter 181
After Wang Zhi fled overnight, at noon the next day, Zhu Wan led the army to Shuangyu Port to meet another group of people, but they were all in vain, the port was empty, and there were no shadows of boats.Zhu Wan immediately ordered the navy to search and arrest along the coast, but for several days, none of the navy found Wang Zhi's fleet, so Zhu Wan had no choice but to order the squadron to return to the court.

Wang Zhi's escape was beyond Xia Yan's expectation. He ordered Yan Shifan to be called to him, looked at him sternly, and slightly opened his lips, "Do you know about Wang Zhi's escape?"

Yan Shifan tremblingly said: "I, I have heard a little about the officials."

Xia Yan said in a tentative tone: "I heard that you have a very close relationship with that Wang Zhi, so you must have secretly tipped off this matter, right?"

Yan Shifan was shocked when he heard the words, and said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, I am wronged, the lower official did have contact with that Wang Zhi, but he is not familiar with him, he sent someone to show his favor to the lower official."

Xia Yan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "Oh? But the news from Dongchang is not the case. I heard that you are commensurate with that Wang Zhi brother. Is there such a thing?"

Yan Shifan shivered in fright. Dongchang's information was famously accurate. He didn't expect Xia Yan to secretly send someone from Dongchang to investigate him. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: " Sir, my lord, the lower officials are just acting on occasion."

Xia Yan sneered and said: "Hehe, don't be nervous. If I want to punish you, I will report to the emperor that day, and I won't wait until now. I called you here today to ask you. Where did you flee to?"

Yan Shifan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed and said: "As far as I know, Wang Zhi has many connections with some forces in Fusang. If he is wrong, he has probably fled to Fusang."

Hearing this, Xia Yan nodded and said: "No wonder he can't be found along the coast of the Central Plains, so he has left the Central Plains, but that's good, even though he was not caught, it can still be regarded as returning to the coast of the Central Plains." The peace of the people."

Yan Shifan observed his words and expressions, and quickly flattered him: "It is really a blessing for all people to care about the people."

How could Xia Yan not know his intentions, frowned slightly and said mockingly: "Master Yan, this matter is thanks to your help, and you have a part of the credit for this."

Yan Shifan's heart tightened, and he said with a dry smile, "Hehe, how dare the lower officials take credit for it."

"Hmph, you'd better be honest with me. If you let me hear any illegal things about you again, I will investigate you in accordance with the law." Xia Yan said coldly.

Yan Shifan nodded repeatedly and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Xia Yan raised his hand and waved: "Okay, you can go back."

"Let me go." Yan Shifan gave a slight salute and walked away quickly.

As soon as Yan Shifan returned to Yan's mansion, Yan Song stepped forward and asked, "Shifan, Xia Yan didn't make things difficult for you, did he? When did he come to you?"

Yan Shifan said: "Father, he didn't make things difficult for me, he just asked me about Wang Zhi's whereabouts."

Yan Song took a deep breath and sighed: "Oh, my father sees that you haven't returned, it's like sitting on pins and needles..."

Yan Shifan said: "Father, this time he betrayed Wang Zhi to protect me, I'm afraid he might not let me go in the future."

Yan Song couldn't help being afraid for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zhi is cruel and ruthless, and there are real Japanese masters working for him. Although he has left the Central Plains now, there is no guarantee that he will not leave a killer to deal with you. I understand him In the dark, Shifan, you have to be more careful when you go in and out in the future."

Yan Shifan was silent for a moment and said: "Father, don't worry too much. Don't forget that my boy has Tang Junfeng as his helper. The hidden weapon of the Tang sect is unrivaled in martial arts. With him by his side, no matter who the other party is, don't try to get close to him easily."

Yan Song patted Yan Shifan on the shoulder, and sighed softly: "Oh, boy, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people, not to mention that Tang Junfeng is not reliable, you should be more careful yourself, how about this, I will let Lu Bing send some more The masters of Jin Yiwei are protecting you in secret, so as to be safe."

Yan Shifan expressed his approval of his father's arrangement, nodded and said: "Everything is according to what father said..."
