After I fell off my horse, I was married for nine thousand years

When Xu Zhi heard his words, his hands trembled in fright, and the letter in his hand almost dropped to the ground.

He couldn't even turn his head, and asked stammeringly: "Why...how could it be, could it be Lian Qing?"

Yan Huaiyin patiently explained to him: "Chen Ying disappeared that day, and you were not there. When Jiang Lian and I arrived, there were no footprints around. He is the only one who can do this even with lightness of kindness and lightness of kung fu."

"But hasn't he been with the master for many years?" Xu Zhi clenched the paper in his hand, "It's impossible for anyone..."

It's even light.

"His sister-in-law's younger brother is the housekeeper of Liu Qingyun's house." Jiang Lian sat beside him with no expression on his face. After hearing what he said, he continued, "People's hearts are the most changeable in the world, nothing is impossible."

-

The paper said that "Shen Mei" left the city gate at a quarter of a hour, Xu Zhi and Chen Ying didn't have much time to prepare, Dongchang had already made arrangements, and added their names to the list of excrement pickers, he and Lian Qingshuo Qiao After a while, he left the mansion.

In the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, when the wind blows on people's faces, it hurts. The dung pickers went out from the north gate of the city. Xu Zhi and Lian Qing were at the end of the line. He stood behind Lian Qing. After a while, his face disappeared. Perception, followed by pain like a thin knife cutting the face.

He was weak, Lian Qing tried his best to stand in front of him and shield him from the wind. Seeing that Xu Zhi couldn't help shaking, he turned around and said in a low voice, "Mr., just keep going."

Xu Zhi didn't even have the strength to speak, so he replied "um" tremblingly.

For the sake of camouflage, each of them carried two dung buckets on their shoulders, but there were swords in the dung buckets.

Before dawn, they were at the end of the line. Looking forward from their perspective, the people in the front line could not see the end and disappeared into the darkness.Everyone was hunched over and wrapped in uniform gray jackets, not to mention their faces, they couldn't tell the difference between men and women.

The dark sky wanted to press down on people's backs, and the light from the lanterns carried by the gate guards in the distance was so weak that it could be swallowed up at any time, Xu Zhi took a step forward, and asked Lian Qing in a very soft voice: "I can't see people clearly." what to do?"

It's not easy for them to make big moves, Lian Qing just turned his head slightly and turned back to him: "Master said someone will tell us."

Xu Zhi stopped talking and concentrated on waiting.

They didn't wait long, and it was a quarter of a hour.

The north gate of Chaohua City opened.

The team began to move forward slowly, and the sound of boots rubbing against the snow was heard endlessly. After a quarter of an hour, Xu Zhi and Lian Qing saw the city gate.

Lian Qing kept his head down at the gate of the city guarding the guard who returned the badge. When it was issued to him, he raised his head slightly and confronted the guard.

The guard glanced at his face, his expression unchanged, and when he handed the waist card to his hand, he whispered and quickly said: "East."

The farmland outside the city mostly uses farmyard manure, and there are two sales outlets for the excrement pickers outside the city gate. The guard said that it was on the east side, which means that Chen Ying went to the one on the east side.

Once you figure out where the person is, the next step is to find it.

Lian Qing took the badge as usual, and walked eastward slowly.Xu Zhi followed behind him, also hastily received his waist card, and hurried to chase him.

He put the waist card into the pocket of his sleeve, and there was a crisp jingle sound when it collided with the whistle in the sleeve.

After leaving the city gate and walking east for five miles, they arrived at the place where farmers collect farm manure. When the two arrived, there were already tense whispers everywhere.

Lian Qing said to Xu Zhi: "You and I will look for it separately."

Xu Zhi responded. He had held the small jade whistle in his palm for a long time, and it was so warm that his palm was sweating, making the jade whistle feel slippery in his palm. Xu Zhi could barely hold it.

He and Lian Qing left separately, Xu Zhi walked in from the south end carrying the dung bucket, trying his best to see the faces of everyone who was carrying the dung bucket.

He looked carefully, and his speed slowed down a bit, and the same was true for Lian Qing at the other end. When the two met in the middle, he took the lead in shaking his head lightly at Lian.

There were no girls among the people he looked at.

Lian Qing made a decisive decision: "Then read it again."

There were already excrement pickers going back one after another, and there was no time to waste, Xu Zhi had no objection, and turned around to look for it again.

When he came to the southernmost point again this time, he stopped there.

There were messy footprints separated from this temporary "bazaar" and disappeared into the nearby woods.

At first glance, it was the footprints of two people, Xu Zhi stretched out his foot, and compared it with the footprint of one of them, it was much bigger.

It's a woman's footprint.

Realizing this, Xu Zhi paused for a moment, he didn't stand still for a long time, he came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, shook the jade whistle in his hand, and ran towards Lian Qing's direction without hesitation.

The footprints are too obvious, entering the forest, even the advantage of the Qinghe Yu Army is revealed.They threw away the dung bucket, put the knife in their waists, and even lightly lifted Xu Zhi's collar. After using lightness kung fu, the two of them seemed to fly.

Xu Zhi was shaved and covered his sleeves tightly, twisted his face, and came to the supreme truth that using light work in winter is to find guilt.

Until it suddenly stopped in one place.

In front of their eyes, the footprints are separated from here, one big and one small are running in opposite directions.

There was no time to think so much, so he gritted his teeth lightly, put Xu Zhi down, and left him a knife: "I'm going to chase Chen Ying, there may be a trap ahead, sir, it's safest to stay here, if I return within an hour If you don’t come, Mister will take this knife back to the city and give it to the master.”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Zhi's answer, he tiptoed and disappeared.

Xu Zhi crawled out of the deep snow, held the knife in his arms for a while, and then realized that he was thrown by Lian Qing. He shouted angrily in the direction of Lian Qing's running: "Father, you boy wait for me!"

It was useless to shout now, Xu Zhi turned his head and glanced at the other way, and followed in the direction Lian Qing was walking while holding Jian Shen.

He didn't know how long he had walked, and when his frozen head started to hurt, he faintly saw Lian Qing's figure.

He was carrying a person in his hand and was about to walk back when he turned around and saw Xu Zhi.

Lian Qing immediately waved to him: "Sir..."

He didn't have time to finish his next words.

Xu Zhi looked at him, took out a whistle from his sleeve, put it to his lips and blew it.

A sharp whistle sounded, and dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the snow-white forest.They were all wearing snow-white robes, and when they landed, the hem of their clothes merged with the blood color, only the exposed eyes were black, staring at Lian Qing, without a trace of emotion.

Xu Zhi was holding the knife, it was cold that day, he was holding the ginger soup that Lian Qing threw to him.He smiled lightly at Lian, with no emotion in his eyes, he suddenly resembled the man in white beside him.

Lian Qing had never seen such a look on Xu Zhi's face.

Xu Zhi's voice sounded, and it was cold in the cold wind: "Lian Qing, you let Chen Ying go and offended the master, so he sent me to clean up the house."

The wind blew thick snow at the right time, making Chen Ying squint her eyes, shrank back into her hat, and shrank her hands into her sleeves.

As soon as she withdrew her hand, the iron chain tied around her wrist rang, causing the person holding her in front to turn her head and stare at her fiercely.

Chen Ying sneered, bit her lip and stared back fiercely, like a bound wolf cub.

The people in front saw that they couldn't scare her, so they ignored her, and just rushed forward, their movements became more and more rude, and Chen Ying's wrist hurt from pulling, so she could only stagger and trot to keep up with him.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was already someone waiting for the two of them. It was a man with a scar on his face. He took the iron chain tied to Chen Ying and asked, "That's it?"

The tone was like asking how much the animal weighed.

The man with Chen Ying responded.

The two quickly completed the handover. The man with the scar was much stronger than the previous one. He had already ordered the soldiers guarding the gate and dragged Chen Ying out of the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, Chen Ying hurriedly looked sideways, and in the darkness, she could barely see that it was Nanqiu Gate.

Chen Ying felt cold.

A few hours ago, she vaguely knew that she was going to go out through the north gate disguised as a dung picker, but now it turned out to be the Nanqiu gate opposite to the north.

She was trapped by that person, and she also knew that Yan Huaiyin was looking for her. She was sent out of the city this time, and she would not be able to hide in the city for long.

Changing from the North Gate to the South Hill Gate seems to be a temporary change.

As she thought so, she was dragged by the man with the scar for three miles, and arrived at a side pavilion.

A carriage was parked at the other end of the pavilion, and the man with the scar dragged Chen Ying to the carriage, and was about to carry her into the carriage.

It was over after being carried into the carriage, Chen Ying waved her hands and kicked her legs to struggle away, hoarsely shouted: "Get out, get out!"

The man with the scar didn't say a word, but quickly and accurately stretched out his arms, and easily strangled her neck with his arms. Seeing her face flushed in his arms, and he was about to faint, he persisted for a while, Only then let go.

Chen Ying was almost strangled to death, her throat was sore for a while, her whole body went limp, and she had no strength to struggle anymore.

Seeing her like this, Scarface hugged her again and was about to get into the carriage. After he bent over and straightened up, he froze on the spot.After a while, he turned around slowly, and after seeing the person opposite him clearly, a look of panic finally appeared on his expressionless face.

He saw a row of soldiers wearing silver helmets, covered in silver frost in the snow.

Huo Yunping, the leader, looked at him and smiled at him, his eyes so calm and emotionless: "Give her to me now, and I will allow you to choose your own way of death."

-

Lian lightly hugged the person in his arms and took two steps back.

The person had already been knocked out by him, and she lay obediently in his arms, even hugging him tightly, he looked at Xu Zhi, and said firmly, "You lied."

"What you have done yourself is exposed, so you are naturally flustered," Xu Zhi said with pity on his face, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. He was afraid that the night would be full of dreams, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he just raised his hand, "Kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen white-clothed killers around him immediately attacked him.

Lian Qing hugged the person with one hand, and raised the knife with the other hand, blocking the knife of the first person who swung the knife at him.

At the beginning, he was able to fight back and forth with people, but he didn't last long at all. There were too many people in front of him. He even leaned up slightly to avoid the knife, but staggered and fell directly to the ground.

His leg was cut to the bone, and warm blood gushed out immediately.

He hugged the man and rolled out without hesitation, blood was scattered all over the floor, he stood up only after enduring the pain in his legs, and when he raised his eyes, a man in white was already stabbing him in the face.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Lian Qingyan could only turn around and block the blow with his shoulders, but the next moment, a tearing sound of wind whimpered past him, and the person in front of him fell down.

The arrow that pierced his throat was shot from the back of his neck, and the point of the arrow pierced his throat precisely, killing him with one blow.

With the trembling of the arrow feathers, the dense forest rustled for a while, and the man in white stopped his movements with a sense of comprehension.

Xu Zhi took a step back, feeling a chill in his heart. He looked over and saw countless figures in silver helmets.They poured out from all around and surrounded them in an instant.

There was the sound of a horse sneeze behind him, Xu Zhi turned around, and stood there in a daze.

On the bloody horse, Yan Huaiyin looked at him with a smile on his face. He tied his hair into a high ponytail with a jade crown and neatly tied it behind his head. It was completely different from the lazy look with his hair hanging a few hours ago. A young general in a busy city.

And he was drawing an arrow on the fully stringed bow, ready to shoot.

The tip of the arrow pointed at the gate of his life.
