There are many people who pass by, but there are very few who left such a deep impression on him like that man.Until he returned to the inn, Chu Zhao still had the man's face in his mind, and he felt vaguely familiar with it, but he didn't know where he had seen it.Unconsciously, she reached out and beat her head, but Ning Yuyao was startled.

"What are you crazy about?" Ning Yuyao panicked and pulled Chu Zhao's hand to stop her movement.With a raised eyebrow, she asked again, "What is hiding in your heart? Are you worried about Youyang's injustice, or are you worried about the capital?"

Chu Zhao came back to his senses, a forced smile curled up on the corner of his lips, and replied, "Both."

Ning Yuyao raised her eyelids and said softly, "But it's useless to think too much."

Chu Zhao was silent.

Nothing happened overnight.The next day, news came from Li Mengyang that Zhong Jie had been settled.The yard is not considered remote. It seems that there are strangers nearby in the middle of the night who come to inquire. Presumably they will find a chance to get rid of the person who threatened him.Naturally, Chu Zhao and the others would not miss this good show.

After yesterday's stimulation, Zhong Jie's expression was a little dazed.The sudden changes in the past few days caught him off guard, and he thought that moving would be the end of it all, but he didn't expect that his old mother suddenly surrendered to the county government, and he was hunted down by his former accomplices like a bereaved dog.

Li Mengyang stood in front of Zhong Jie with his arms folded, and asked coldly, "Did you poison it?"

Although he said he was his savior, Zhong Jie was still a bit vigilant, for fear that Li Mengyang might have some ulterior motives.His face was as pale as paper, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.Li Mengyang didn't care, he just smiled leisurely and said: "If you don't want to say it, then I will hand you over to the government and let the sticks come to force you to interrogate."

Will there still be life in the government?I'm afraid it will be peeled off, right?In order to prevent things from being leaked, Qian Bao would definitely let himself be the scapegoat. How could he beat the son of the county guard's family?Thinking of this, Zhong Jie's body trembled violently and his lips trembled. After a while, he uttered a sharp voice, and he shouted: "I didn't kill the man!"

Li Mengyang picked up a wooden stick as thick as a forearm on the ground, and under Zhong Jie's horrified gaze, it broke with a click.He had a calm expression on his face, as if he was chatting with his friends. "Could it be Zhao Xingzhou?"

"No, no." Zhong Jie struggled to squeeze out these words, and he let out a long sigh with a mournful face.

"That's what your old mother did? It seems that being in prison is not wronged, I just wait for Qiuhou to be killed. It is the most poisonous woman's heart. I didn't expect to be so ruthless at a young age—— "

"No!" Zhong Jie heard Li Mengyang's slander, and immediately shouted with his neck stuck.

Li Mengyang snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what are you talking about?"

"Yes, yes—" Before he could finish his sentence, a dart was shot from the shadows, only to take Zhong Jie's heart.Li Mengyang's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. With a flick of the remaining half of the wooden stick, he immediately intercepted the dart.Li Mengyang looked solemn, while Zhong Jie had already turned pale with fright, trembling and not daring to move.

The person who came to intercept Zhong Jie this time was not an ordinary servant, but a bought assassin.They are all rolling and crawling on the tip of the knife, so they naturally have their own unique skills.The five men in black covered their faces, only showing their fierce eyes like eagles, staring closely at Li Mengyang.The knife in his hand reflected the light of the day, a bit dazzling.Li Mengyang didn't dare to be careless, his muscles tensed up, and he held his breath waiting for the man in black to move.Zhong Jie is a weak scholar, he can't stop five masters by himself, the news has been sent, but he doesn't know when the reinforcements will arrive.

Li Mengyang said in a deep voice, "Report your name."

The masked men looked at each other, and the tall one sneered and said, "The dead don't need to know." As he spoke, the knife in his hand shook, and he slashed towards Li Mengyang's head.The other four people also moved, two moved towards Li Mengyang, and two stretched their claws towards Zhong Jie who was curled up on the ground.In the blink of an eye, several crackling winds sounded.The man in black was startled, and immediately used the weapon in his hand to block the oncoming hidden weapon, but it turned out to be a mass of soil, which suddenly exploded under the action of strength.

"Who!" The masked man shouted angrily.

Xu Zhen walked out slowly with a knife in his hand. He raised his head and laughed loudly, his eyes fell on the masked man, and he replied arrogantly: "Your grandfather!"

"You—" the masked man was furious, and swept his sword across.

"There are us." A clear laugh came out, and an empty-handed boy came out from behind the masked man. His expression was lazy, and there was a mischievous smile on his lips.This young man is also one of the hidden guards. Although he is young, his ability should not be underestimated.

When Chu Zhao and the others arrived in time, the situation changed immediately, forming a confrontation between the two.Although there is no absolute chance of winning against the five masked men by the four hidden guards, it should be no problem to save Zhong Jie's life.The masked man received the death order to kill Zhong Jie, and instead of retreating, he became even more frantic, like a crazy wild dog.In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves were fought, and both sides were injured.

The masked man also saw Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao standing aside, and immediately identified them as the masters behind the scenes.With a thought, he exchanged a look with his companion, who immediately caught Li Mengyang's palm, while he withdrew from the battle circle, blowing towards Chu Zhao's place like a swift wind.Chu Zhao has been watching their actions all the time, seeing the masked man coming towards him, his eyes darken, and he immediately protects Ning Yuyao behind him.With a flick of the long sword, the light of the sword rolled like pear blossoms, bringing out a gorgeous silver light in midair.The masked man didn't expect Chu Zhao to have such an exquisite swordsmanship, not inferior to those men in the slightest, and wanted to retreat before he could get a blow.However, his movements were still a beat slower, and he could only see overlapping shadows in front of him, not real, but when he felt the threatening cold light, his heart had already been pierced by a sword.His eyes widened in disbelief, and his stiff body fell to the ground, as if expressing his unwillingness.Chu Zhao wiped his sword, retreated to Ning Yuyao's side, and continued to stare at the few people who were fighting fiercely.

At this time, the remaining four people also saw the situation of their companions. They didn't expect him to be killed by the opponent so soon. They were in a state of confusion for a while, and their sword styles were all out of order.Li Mengyang and others seized the opportunity, and the moves in their hands became more ruthless, and the moves were fatal.

"Master, there are people fighting in front."

"Go and have a look."

Suddenly, a burst of dialogue came into the ears.The young son passed by with his attendants, and when he saw the masked men in black, he immediately recognized them as perpetrators. The young boy beside him understood, and jumped into the battle circle as soon as he jumped.Originally, the men in black had already retreated steadily, but now someone joined Li Mengyang's side, and the defeat was even more obvious.Within half a quarter of an hour, he was caught by life.The man in black originally wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself, but Li Mengyang had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed his chin and removed his mandible.

"These people can interrogate carefully." Ning Yuyao whispered, and after waiting for a long time, Chu Zhao did not speak to her, and when she turned her head, she was staring intently at the strange young master.Suddenly angry, Ning Yuyao stepped on Chu Zhao, and gritted her teeth in her ear, "Who are you looking at?"

"Ah?" Chu Zhao came back to his senses, and seeing Ning Yuyao's displeasure, he hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I didn't see anything." It is said that the young man had just met yesterday, and he appeared here as a What a coincidence?Chu Zhao had some doubts in his heart, but now is not a good opportunity to ask.She just bowed her hands to the smiling young man and said "thank you".

"Someone killed someone, right here!" A shrill voice broke the momentary silence in the courtyard.After a while, the owner of the voice appeared leading a group of officials.The leader of the official messenger raised his head and chest, with a long knife on his waist.He frowned and looked at the corpses on the ground, waved his hand, and shouted impatiently: "Come on, take all these murderers down!"

How can there be such a coincidence?Eighty percent of the arrangements have already been made.If the assassin can succeed, that's all. If not, immediately lead the officials to find another name to bring them to the government.Chu Zhao sneered in his heart, murmured a few times in Ning Yuyao's ear, and winked at Li Mengyang and the others, and they were immediately arrested without a fight, and were escorted into the government by the arrogant officials.Seeing someone making a move, the servant of the young master who was innocently involved immediately frowned, showing a fierce look on his face.However, the young master waved the folding fan in his hand, let out a cry of surprise, and followed the officials towards the government office.

In the government office, Qian Bao sat on the grand teacher's chair with his legs crossed, and the surrounding officials had flattering smiles on their faces, serving tea and water very familiarly.When Qian Bao saw that Zhong Jie and his party were escorted into the yamen, he immediately slapped the gavel and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable, why don't you kneel down here?" The pale Zhong Jie knelt on the ground, pressing his hands on the ground, fighting with each other.

After drinking this, Qian Bao licked his lips, raised his eyes to look at people, saw Chu Zhao and the others' faces, and immediately recalled one thing.He smiled sinisterly: "So it's you! Before, Pan'er pleaded for you, but now you've run into my young master's hands, I think you—"

Chu Zhao glanced at Qian Bao, showing disdain, and she sneered coldly, "Where's Qian Cai?"

"Bold, presumptuous! You can call the Lord's name as well? Come on, hit [-] big boards!" Before Qian Bao could speak, the attendant beside him shouted loudly.

Who in this world would dare to beat them except the Son of Heaven?Seeing his master being scolded, Li Mengyang's brows turned cold.His sharp eyes swept over the group of officers and soldiers who were walking forward, scaring them back a few steps.There was a lot of noise in the lobby, a middle-aged man with a big belly came slowly with the support of his servants.

"Father, they were the ones who beat me!" Seeing his father coming, Qian Bao straightened his back, pointed at Chu Zhao and the others, and said, "Pull them all out and behead them! Only in this way can the hatred in my heart be relieved!"
