The next moment, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove out from the town’s gate, followed by dozens of men in uniform. All of them have cold expression and sword on the waist.

When Bai Zhi saw Jin Shiwei riding a horse beside the carriage. She hurriedly jumped down and ran in front of the team.

“Who dares to block the road? Get out of the way!” The guard riding a horse in the front yelled at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Dage, I am a friend of Meng Gongzi, I—”

The guard immediately interrupted Bai Zhi’s words, then coldly said: “A wild peasant girl like you claiming to be our gongzi’s friend? You still don’t want to move to the side.” The guard immediately pulled out the long whip on his waist and raised it to whip Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi was shocked. She didn’t expect that she only said a few words, but the person in front of her didn’t clarify the situation and just decided to whip people.

Bai Zhi was about to dodge, but she saw a hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes and firmly grasped the long whip that was coming from her.

Hu Feng coldly stared at the guard who was riding the horse. He tightly grabbed the whip on his hand and pulled it hard. The guard who was riding the horse fell on the ground like a dog in front of Bai Zhi.

When the other guards saw this scene, they immediately pulled out the sword on their waist.

When Jin Shiwei, who was lagging, suddenly saw the team stopped and heard a sudden movement of drawing swords, he rushed to the front to check.

Seeing more than a dozen of Meng Family guards in the capital, pointing their sword to the unarmed Hu Feng and Bai Zhi. His facial expression couldn’t help but changed as he shouted: “What are you doing? They are gongzi’s friends.”

When the group of guards heard those words, they immediately put down their swords, but the anger in their face didn’t disappear.

They were the first-class guards of Meng Family in the capital. Although they were only guards, their identity was more noble than any average slaves in the Meng Family. They were being respected at ordinary times in the capital. So when they came to Qingyuan Town, they didn’t put ordinary people in their eyes. The little girl and the tall man in front of them looked like ordinary farmers, how did they become friends to their young master? Such kind of people, even if they killed eight or ten of them in the capital, they will not be punished by law.

This kind of people, who let their leader eat such a big loss, how can their anger easily dissipate?

The guard who fell on the ground climbed up and spit out the sand in his mouth. He glared at Hu Feng and turned his face toward Jin Shiwei: “Guard Jin, these people are really gongzi’s friends?”

The next moment, Meng Nan’s voice came from the rear of the carriage: “Why did you stop? What happened?”

Jin Shiwei hurriedly turned his horse’s head and ran to the rear of the carriage, then said something in the small window of the carriage.

Soon, Meng Nan’s figure appeared on the window frame, he saw one tall and short figures in front of the team. He jumped out of the carriage and rushed in front of Bai Zhi: “How come you’re here? Didn’t I said you don’t need to send me off?”

Meng Nan’s rushing figure, the joy on his face, and the gentleness on his tone were completely different from the young master they met earlier. As if he was a… … different person.

Hu Feng coldly said: “Meng Gongzi is really something, to send him off, you have to risk your life.”

Meng Nan didn’t understand what Hu Feng means. But when he thought of the sound of drawing of sword earlier. He frowned his eyebrows and asked: “What happened?”

Regarding this matter, he naturally asked Guard Li, whose face was covered with sand.
