Kyoto's one hundred and eight squares are large and small, and the population is naturally different.

There are thousands of people at least, and there are even nearly 10,000 people in a large number of markets, which can also show the prosperity of Kyoto in the Tang Dynasty.

Suzaku Street is close to the Imperial City, the four sides of the Imperial City are not residential places, almost all of them are used for offices, and the three provinces and six ministries are located in it.

Sipingfang is not close to the merit square, compared to Sipingfang, the gray clothes workshop is a lot closer.

Qin Xiao left the Criminal Department and went out of the Merit Workshop, and did not plan to return to the Changle Inn in Sipingfang.

Gu Baiyi's guidance last night got Han Yunong out of the predicament, and Qin Xiao really admired Gu Baiyi in his heart.

Han Yunong told Qin Xiao to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, but Qin Xiao was really relieved of Han Yunong.

Although he got rid of the control of the Ministry of War, Han Yunong was trapped in the Ministry of Punishment again.

Compared with the dangerous situation in the military department, Han Yunong's situation in the criminal department is naturally much better.

It's just that Qin Xiao saw with his own eyes today that the official of the Ministry of War was still an important minister of the empire during the day, and he held the power of the Ministry of War, but in the blink of an eye, he became a suspect in the Ministry of Punishment, and such a change only happened within half a day.

Han Yunong is now being used as a witness by the Criminal Department, but who can guarantee that the situation will not change, and Han Yunong will be in a desperate situation again.

When he was in Turtle City, when the servants in the yamen were chatting, they all longed for Kyoto, and Qin Xiao also thought that one day he would be able to go to Kyoto to see and understand.

But in just a few days in Kyoto, Qin Xiao's heart was full of disgust for Kyoto with these words.

Compared to Kyoto, life in Kamejo is naturally much more comfortable.

He just wanted to rush to Gu Baiyi's side now, inform Gu Baiyi of what happened today, and let Gu Baiyi help analyze what the next situation would be.

The moonlight is faint, and the horseback is walking on the cold street, and there is moonlight to guide the way, so that you will not see the road clearly.

Qin Xiao was very familiar with the path, and knew that after crossing the two streets, he arrived at the Luoshui River, and went down the river, and it would take less than half an hour to reach the gray clothes workshop.

He has a road slip issued by the Criminal Department in his hand, so he doesn't have to worry about being blocked.

After crossing the street in front, you can reach the Luoshui River, this alley is surrounded by not many houses, but there are some shops, but before dark, the shops are closed by the recyclers, so at night, this alley will be very quiet.

The horse's hooves are walking on the bluestone road, if it is usual, the surroundings are noisy, and there is no sound, but at this moment the sound of the horse's hooves is heard very clearly.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao's brows furrowed, just because he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the sound of horses' hooves, and behind him, there was clearly the sound of horses' hooves.

Qin Xiao turned his head, and under the moonlight, he saw a horse following him.

Qin Xiao reined in his horse and stopped in the alley, and the horse behind him also stopped in an instant, keeping a distance from him.

The man on horseback wore a hat with the brim of his hat covering his face, and held the reins of the horse in his right hand, but in his left hand he clearly held an unsheathed broadsword.

\Mi\Mi\Read\Read\app\\

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people are not allowed to hide blades privately, unless they are court generals or public officials, and once ordinary people are found to be hiding blades, they will be punished for the crime of treason.

Even if an official from other places enters Kyoto, he will be armed by the soldiers defending the city, and when Qin Xiao and Han Yunong entered the city, they were confiscated by the guards of the city gate.

With a big knife in his hand behind him, he is naturally not a civilian, but if he is an officer or soldier of the imperial court, why is he dressed so strangely.

Qin Xiaodou turned the horse's head and faced

towards the man.

There is a distance of a few zhang between the two, this place is already quiet, far away from the downtown area, there are few people, and it is at night, the hat man is following behind, Qin Xiao naturally knows that the comer is not good.

If there was a knife in his hand at this moment, Qin Xiao would never have the slightest fear, but he was barehanded, but the other party was holding a knife in his hand, and he didn't dare to be careless.

The night breeze in February was cold, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a piece of oil paper in the alley, and I don't know who threw it in the alley, the oil paper blew under the other party's horseshoe, Qin Xiao frowned, and at this moment, he suddenly felt the strong wind behind him, and with a "boom", Qin Xiao didn't look back at all, and knew that an arrow suddenly shot behind him.

This arrow is full of strength and surprise.

Qin Xiao's body had already fallen to the left, and almost at the moment when his body dodged, a sharp arrow grazed his shoulder, if it was a little sluggish, this sharp arrow must have sunk into Qin Xiao's back.

The moment he dodged the sharp arrow, the opposite horse had already galloped over, the hat man on the horseback had already drawn his sword out of the sheath, and in the blink of an eye, the horse was already close at hand, the hat man shouted in a low voice, and he had already flown up from the horse, floating towards Qin Xiao like a paper kite, and the big knife in his hand was cut off at Qin Xiao's head.

He slashed out with a knife, his eyes were like eagle falcons, capturing Qin Xiao's subtle movements, paying attention to the changes in his hands, obviously judging how Qin Xiao dodged.

The Hatted Swordsman is experienced, and he exists to kill people.

At the moment of the knife, he already had an extremely powerful killing move, just waiting for Qin Xiao to dodge, he would use a series of back moves, which was bound to take Qin Xiao's life.

He had even come up with several ways to dodge for Qin Xiao, no matter how Qin Xiao dodged, his subsequent moves could kill Qin Xiao in an instant.

He has killed many people, and the serial killing tricks have been tried and tested repeatedly.

But he never dreamed that Qin Xiao didn't hide at all, this handsome young man actually raised a hand at the moment he fell, and between the lightning and flint, the last one came first, and he had already grabbed the wrist of the knife man with the knife.

The hat man only felt that his wrist was tight, and his heart was shocked, one of his hands was restrained by the other party, even if there was a subtle back move, it was impossible to show it, and Qin Xiao didn't wait for him to react, the other hand was already clenched into a fist, and without hesitation, he punched forward, and hit the heart of the hat swordsman firmly.

"Bang"!

The whole person of the hat swordsman had already flown out upside down, and then slammed into the bluestone ground, and then with a "poof", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Qin Xiao didn't have time to see how the hat knife man was injured.

Behind him, another sharp arrow shot over, which seemed to be faster than the first arrow, and Qin Xiao had already judged the position from the arrow wind, dodged sideways to the right, just avoided this arrow, but heard a low roar, followed the sound, I don't know when on the roof of a house next to it, there was a stout figure, the figure had jumped down from the roof like an ape, under the moonlight, the stout figure was very flexible, jumped to the side of Qin Xiao's horse, and hit Qin Xiao with a punch.

He didn't carry a weapon, but his fists were more terrible than swords.

This man is burly and stout, like a giant, and the fist is like a hammer, Qin Xiao sat on the horse's back, unable to get off the horse for a while, so he could only repeat the old trick, reaching out to grab the giant man's wrist, but the giant man didn't hide at all, let him grab his wrist, but the other hand had already reached out like a wind, quickly and accurately choked Qin Xiao's throat.

The moment Qin Xiao was grabbed by the giant man's neck with one hand, he was shocked.

This man is burly and extremely powerful, Qin Xiao originally thought that with such a size, speed would definitely be his weakness, but contrary to Qin Xiao's expectations, the giant man was not only full of strength, but also much faster than he imagined.

The other party reached out and grabbed his neck, but he couldn't dodge.

Qin Xiao instantly understood that this giant man was by no means an ordinary person, judging from his speed and body style, he was at least a third-grade small heaven realm.

Under the moonlight, you can clearly see each other's faces at this time.

The giant man grinned and looked at Qin Xiao's eyes, like a beast that had caught its prey, and his eyes were glowing with terrifying scarlet because of excitement.

"I'm going to kill you!" The giant man joked, the big hand holding Qin Xiao's neck tightened a little, Qin Xiao also felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, his eyes were bloodshot because he couldn't breathe, although his hands could still move, it was already difficult to gather qi on his fists, and with this giant man's physique, even if he punched him a few times, it would be impossible to knock him down.

The giant man seemed to enjoy the loss of his prey little by little, and with a drag of his arm, he had already dragged Qin Xiao off the horse, and then raised his arm and pinched Qin Xiao's neck and lifted it in the air.

The smile on the giant man's face became thicker and thicker, and he looked at Qin Xiao's bloodshot eyes, and repeated again: "I'm going to kill you!" ”

Suddenly, the giant man saw Qin Xiao's bloodshot eyes suddenly glow cold, and then suddenly felt a sharp blade pierce his throat, the pain made the giant man's hand let go instantly, Qin Xiao fell to the ground steadily, holding a sharp blade in his right hand, the sharp blade had sunk deep into the giant man's throat, it was the fish intestine thorn that Hongye had given him at the beginning.

The fish intestine spines are sharp and small, just suitable for carrying around, and Qin Xiao has always kept such sharp blades on his body.

When entering the city, Qin Xiao handed over the saber to the guards guarding the city, but fortunately, Du Hongsheng reported his identity at that time, and the guards guarding the city did not search the three people, and Qin Xiao's fish intestine thorns were able to be carried into the city.

The giant man grabbed Qin Xiao's neck, he didn't expect that Qin Xiao still had a sharp blade hidden in his body, let alone that Qin Xiao still had the strength to fight back.

After Qin Xiao landed, he stared at the giant man's eyes and repeated the words that the giant man said: "I want to kill you!" With his right hand, he gripped the fish intestine spines and pulled them down sharply.

The fish intestine spines were unusually sharp, sharpening iron like mud, Qin Xiao pulled down, and did not stop until the lower abdomen, it turned out that the giant man had already been disemboweled, and the internal organs inside rushed out, and the blood and abdominal fluid wrapped those fascia intestines, flowing directly down, and fell at the feet of the giant man.

The giant man was not dead for a while, he lowered his head and watched himself being disemboweled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Whew!"

The giant man let out a miserable howl, in this situation, he could even raise his hands and put his hands on Qin Xiao's shoulders, Qin Xiao couldn't imagine that the giant man was so fierce, and hurriedly broke free, but when the giant man was dying, the strength of his whole body was on both hands, and he clasped Qin Xiao's shoulders tightly.

"Whew!"

A third arrow shot again from the darkness.

Qin Xiao raised his foot and kicked on the giant man, his body retreated, although he tried his best, the third arrow still did not enter Qin Xiao's right shoulder, and the giant man was also kicked away by Qin Xiao, took two steps back, and then fell back like a big tree, slamming heavily on the ground.

Qin Xiao breathed heavily, turned his head to look at the Bucket Knife Rider again, but saw that the Bucket Blade Warrior had already struggled to get onto the horse, turned the horse's head, and urged the horse away, leaving only a few mouthfuls of blood from him on the ground.

Qin Xiao knew that there were three people who attacked and killed him tonight, in addition to the hat swordsman and the giant khan, there were also archers who secretly attacked like ghosts.

The giant man is dead, and the swordsman has fled, leaving only the nowhere to be seen.

The arrow was inserted in his right shoulder, but Qin Xiao didn't care about the pain, holding the fish intestine thorn, but a pair of eyes were staring at the direction where the arrow came, it was extremely dim, Qin Xiao faintly saw the figure of the archer, but at this moment, he had lost the trace of the archer.
