She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

On the dark mountain road, two horses were moving slowly, with two people sitting on them, escorting Zhang Shiliu forward like door gods.

The ropes were tied to Zhang Shiliu's left and right hands respectively, using the old method of tying one hand to the saddle.

A'ao felt a little refreshed.

She seemed like a general who had just returned from victory, but she could not hide the joy in her heart, and her cunning nature was exposed.

In the past, she was treated like a fish and could only be tied up. Today, she has become someone else's butcher, and only then did she realize that this way of tying up is really useful.

Of course, it is only used to tie up people.

Zhang Shiliu, who was forced to spread his arms and stagger, did not feel the same way.

The wound on his right arm was affected by his posture, and it hurt. His clothes were also sticking to the wound, and Zhang Shiliu noticed that the wound was bleeding again.

After he came out of Feiqinyi, he also observed the surrounding situation. However, Zhang Shiliu did not have eyes behind his back, so he could not see the half head of Ah'an popping out from the wall after he left quickly.

Who could have predicted this?

Zhao Zhuo hid the things in the interlayer of the cabinet in the front hall. The wooden cabinet looked inconspicuous at ordinary times, but the interlayer could be pulled out, and there was a gap in the innermost seam to hide things.

Ah'ao was standing at the back of the shop at the time. She gently tore the silk tissue paper, hid her body with the help of the stairs, and took the opportunity to see the whole process clearly.

Zhao Zhuo was so immersed in the turbulent emotions in his heart at the time that he was completely unable to notice anything wrong with his surroundings.

This is also thanks to A's familiarity with the general structure of shops.

In her own shop, Ah-yi often went through the back door. So she knew clearly which part was accessible and which was not.

Who made Dang County, along with the entire Wuling Road, belong to Kezhou? It was also to prevent spies. The identical street shop structure was like a gust of east wind, helping Ah-yi.

What happened next seemed to be a natural progression. Ah-yi rode her horse through the city, startling Zhang Shiliu, and drove him all the way, deliberately pushing him towards the city gate.

She went to the city gate in advance, showed Hengzhi's long sword, and made it clear that she was working with Zhao Hou to catch the assassin.

Recently, You Tong's incident has caused a lot of buzz in the entire Wuling Road. When the city guard saw that it was really a token from Zhao Hou, and recalled the news of the assassin yesterday, he believed Ah Yi and deliberately transferred half of the guards away, leaving only two people to guard the city gate.

As expected, the time was just right. When curfew arrived, the two men had just pushed the city gate when they ran into a man who was desperate to rush to the door.

It was so fast that I could only see a black shadow. Then the other party threw the hat out, first hitting the soldier on the left, then bouncing off the city gate, and swirling around to hit the soldier on the right.

The two of them fell down in this buy one get one free situation.

Zhang Shiliu was like a chess piece and was successfully driven into A's plan.

It didn't matter even if Hengzhi was not guarding outside the city. The reduced city guards were all standing on the city wall with bows drawn, waiting for the order to shoot. In the end, Zhang Shiliu could not escape.

But I still won the gamble.

This brings us one step closer to understanding Hengzhi's true actions.

When the city guard saw that it was really Zhao Hou, he took the initiative to send a small team of people to escort Zhao Hou to the villa. But he didn't understand why they didn't just imprison him on the spot, but took him away from there?
Hengzhi did not answer the question, but just acquiesced that several people followed behind him.

So it's like a door god guarding the gate, quite a big scene.

But it doesn't matter, there are only two of them together, it looks like a trap.

"Tell me, Zhang Shiliu, what news are you here for?" Ah'ao spoke in a hoarse voice, still playing the role of the coroner brought by Zhao Hou.

Zhang Shiliu naturally didn't say anything.

"Zhao Zhuo is also a good friend of yours, right?"

Zhang Shiliu turned his head suddenly. However, the horses of the two did not stop. Even though he stared at Ah-yi fiercely, he was still dragged and staggered, "You..."

"If you tell me now, your friend will suffer less." Ah-yi looked ahead. In the dark night, she realized that her method of questioning was so low.

But what if I'm a bad person?

No one wants to.

Everyone has to have their own goals.

"If he doesn't tell me, he will vomit everything out once we catch Zhao Zhuo's wife and children."

Zhang Shiliu does things that are worth living and dying every day, but he has a sincere heart. He treats Zhao Zhuo as a true friend, but Zhao Zhuo does not see him treating him the same way.

"You just need to tell me everything you know about You Tong, and I will keep Zhao Zhuo and his family alive."

"Do you have the final say?" Zhang Shiliu seemed to be listening to an absurd joke. In front of Zhao Hou, this man was so reckless as to guarantee his life or death. What kind of guarantee could he make?

"Calculate."

The young marquis overheard this clumsy method of interrogation and said a few words lightly.

At this time, Ah-yi turned around, but she was not looking at Zhang Shiliu below, but at Heng Qi across the street.

"Look, the young marquis has also said it, now you can believe it, right?" Ah-yi was very anxious. She didn't want to wait until she returned to the villa and let Xu Tingzhou know what Zhang Shiliu had revealed.

To be precise, A'an didn't want anyone else to know the secret except those within her own camp, that is, she, Hengzhi, and Youtong.

Only when the secret is in the hands of a few people can it become a bargaining chip for blackmail in the future.

When more people know about it, it will be no different from an official document posted on the bulletin board. It will be known to the world.

Especially this secret is about the royal family.

"I only know that You Tong was murdered and the witness was silenced." Zhang Shiliu clenched his fists and finally said.

He really couldn't ignore the lives of Zhao Zhuo's family. Although he saved Zhao Zhuo with just a little effort, he lived alone in the middle of the mountain from then on. The company given by Zhao Zhuo and his wife was the warmth that Zhang Shiliu had not experienced for a long time.

Since entering Beitang, Zhang Shiliu has abandoned his name and lived a lonely life, with countless tasks every day. Like a mayfly in the world, alive today and dead tomorrow.

When Zhao Zhuo's son was born, Zhang Shiliu went to a gold and jade shop to make a pair of silver bracelets for him.

The affection between people will not be easily worn away.

"Who silenced him?" Ah'ao asked immediately.

In the distant mountains, the jungle was silent. A long cooing sound broke the silence, echoing for a long time. There were many pigeons in the mountains, and they also cried at night.

"I don't know." Zhang Shiliu calculated the time and it was almost time. "You don't know. I'm here to get information. How would I know?"

He counted secretly in his mind.

five.

"What You Tong knows is related to the royal family's incense. My master doesn't care about this, so I don't know either." Zhang Shi looked around, looking a little anxious. "You Tong himself is also dead, maybe he has done too many evil things."

Ah'ao wanted to laugh instead.

In this way, the Shen family has committed more sins, so it is more reasonable for them to be cut off.

I wonder if the new emperor has a son now.

Just as he was distracted, the usually quiet forest suddenly made a rustling sound, as if a ghost was moving around, which made the soldiers behind him panic.

The dove's cry became longer, shrill and mournful.

"What's that sound? It sounds like a ghost!"

"Don't be a man-eating beast... I don't want to die yet..."

"Freeze said!"

Soon, they realized how wrong their guess was, because it was neither a ghost nor a beast.

Instead, it was a team of well-equipped reinforcements from Zhang Shiliu that were specially ambushed here.

While people were rushing up, Hengzhi took a moment to glance at A'an.

A'ao suddenly had an idea and handed him the long knife from behind.

Just when General Hengzhi was about to draw his sword, a dozen masked men in black clothes suddenly emerged from the grass by the roadside, each holding a machete.

One!

A'ao encountered the chase scene again after not seeing it for a long time.

"Yes, there is an assassin!" the soldier behind him shouted.

Ah'ao held the whip tightly in her hand, and with a determined heart, she hit the other person on the head with all her strength.

The blade came straight at Hengzhi's face. He leaned back to avoid it, and his body bent backward like a bow on his horse.

Holding the knife in his right hand, he cut a bloody gash on Zhang Shiliu's left arm in mid-air, leaving him with both hands completely disabled and unable to hold weapons.

Then the force of the stab bounced back to the body, the long knife flashed in front of his eyes, and began to drink blood heartily.

The few people sent by the city defenders were even more useless.

In fact, they were archers and not good at close combat. But close combat was easy and comfortable under the city walls, so it had long been assigned to those who bribed the city guards in advance.

Therefore, the cheap soldiers had to do the hard work. Even if they had knives in their hands, they would not know how to use them and could only hack around.

"Ahhhhh, I'll fight you! Uh, uh..." The sharp spear pierced through his chest, and he no longer had a chance to be brave.

If you look carefully, you will find that these people have common features. On the left hem of their clothes, the word "North" is embroidered, while on the right hem of Zhang Shiliu's clothes, the word "Yi" is embroidered.

This means that the division of labor is different. These people are all martial artists, and they are here specifically to rescue people or to silence them.

But who has time to think about these things right now?

Ah-yi's knuckles were rubbed by the rough whip, but she had no way to stop it. The knives in front of her were coming like snowflakes, and she couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by the tip of the knife and fell off the horse.

Hengzhi was killing people alone behind him with great enthusiasm, but Ah'ao didn't know martial arts, so she couldn't cooperate this time.

She cursed silently in her heart, these people were quite strong.

But the expected dull pain did not come. Hengzhi raised his leg and kicked Zhang Shiliu, who was struggling with the rope in his hand, to the ground. A'ao then fell heavily on Zhang Shiliu's coccyx.

"Ugh!"

Hearing Zhang Shiliu's wail, Heng Qi took a break from his busy schedule and laughed, "Okay, you've beaten one at least."

Before Ah'ao could get up, one on the left and one on the right surrounded her again.

The one on the left happened to be standing in front of the horse's head.

She took a quick glance and whipped the horse whip to the right. The man on the right instinctively stepped back a few steps, but the whip hit the horse's buttocks, causing it to feel a sharp pain and immediately run forward!
At this moment, Ah'ao failed to dodge and was hit by the knife on her left shoulder. Her clothes were torn and her shoulder felt cold.

Fortunately, the man let the horse pull him forward and did not use his full strength, otherwise Ah's left arm would be in danger today.

The delayed pain suddenly hit A's heart, and her brown robe was stained with blood into darker patches.

Hengzhi did the same thing, turning the reins and kicking the horse, and the out-of-control mount immediately rushed towards the wall of people that surrounded them.

Those who couldn't dodge in time were trampled to death by the horses' hooves, and those who were farther away also quickly moved away. A gap was broken in the human wall!

Ah'ao retreated step by step and bumped into Hengzhi's back.

The momentum is not right. If the fight continues, both of them will definitely suffer.

In the shadows, Hengzhi tightly grasped A's blood-soaked left hand and told her to "hold on tight".

Taking advantage of the gap ahead, Heng Qi grabbed the person and took a few steps forward. When they reached the roadside, he held Ah-yi in his arms and laid her back. Then the two of them hugged each other and rolled down together.

"Boss, are you still chasing?"

The leader was a burly man with a full beard. He frowned, took a look, and gestured to stop the people behind him.

"No need. There's a steep cliff below. Even if you don't die from the fall, you'll freeze to death overnight." He turned around, his face looking particularly sinister and terrifying against the moonlight, "We haven't done the real work yet."

Knife up and down.
