The assassin just let out a strange scream and lost his breath. Liu Yichen was about to stop it, but he had already turned into a mess of rotten flesh.

At this time, Song Zhiyao hurriedly ran out, her face full of tears. Seeing that his father-in-law was fine, he hugged him hard from behind.

"Good husband, what's wrong?" She lowered her head and looked at the disgusting puddle of meat sauce below, and her heart was startled, and she hugged it tighter.

Liu Yichen gently patted her back and comforted her kindly. "It's nothing, it's just a thief who wants to come in and loot, and he is discovered."

Song Zhiyao cried for a long time before she stopped. "Good husband, Yao'er doesn't cry, she just wants to sleep with me and protect me, okay?"

Liu Yichen smiled slightly, against her cheek. "Naturally." He ordered the soldiers, who were to be on guard, and took her away.

The two slept in a warm bed, and after a while, their hearts settled down. hugged each other tightly and fell asleep happily.

The next day, they rode back with a group of soldiers. When they arrived at a valley, several officials were in the way.

Liu Yichen didn't know what was going on, so he pulled the reins of the horse and went forward. "Guys, dare you ask how this is? But here they are on guard. ”

The official at the head scratched the coarse hairs on his chest, yawned, brandished his broadsword, and said impatiently.

"You kid, I'm afraid you haven't seen the way clearly, right? Didn't I tell you this? This area is full of bandits, and no one is allowed to pass through. ”

These people were arranged by the county order that supported King Ling. One by one, the people who passed by were also reprimanded.

Liu Yichen looked at them and felt that it was very abnormal. "If you let me go, I will be the emperor's brother in the dynasty, and there is a talisman to prove it."

At this time, the official smiled and said. "You kid, you really know how to tell jokes, where did you come from? It is the king of heaven, and the door cannot be opened. ”

Then he waved his hand again, and a large group of officials behind him, holding sharp spears and machetes in their hands, looked fierce, and pressed over.

Liu Yichen felt that something was wrong in his heart and muttered. "Don't go toe-to-toe with them, if there's a path, go around this place."

They went round for a long time, looking out into the wilderness. Song Zhiyao thought in her heart that maybe the surrounding county commanders, for their own interests, had already taken refuge in King Ling.

"King Ling has been here for a long time, coercion and temptation, they must all be in the same boat, if they suddenly make a move, these soldiers will not be able to parry."

She hesitated for a long time, but she still told her husband what she was worried about. Liu Yichen just smiled calmly.

"Don't worry, Yao'er." He is so calm on the surface, but also to calm people's hearts. Just by adding them, it's even more difficult to deal with.

At the same time, King Ling gulped down the wine and hugged the courtesan. "That's it, this king can only be happy in time, and live as long as he wants."

At this time, his housekeeper Sun Fei said with a smile. "In this place, the officials in those counties all miss the kindness of the prince, which is of great use."

Hearing his words, King Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. "This place is also a land of fish and rice, and there are forests and mines, and the population is huge, how can you not fight?"

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly. They have done so many evil things, and now they can only go one way, directly to the dark.

Soon, they sneaked out of King Ling's Mansion and visited the county magistrate next to them. "Lord County Commander, you and this king have a deep friendship, but I am afraid that my lips will die and my teeth will be cold."

Looking at these two, they suddenly came here, and the county magistrate also knew that it must be a big deal. Frowning, thinking about the past.

"The tax matter, the official also scavenged a lot from it, the family's thousands of acres of fertile land, wives and concubines, all from there, if so."

He heard that the imperial court dealt with this kind of thing harshly, if it happened, no matter what happened before, everything before would be lost, and he might even lose his black yarn hat and lose his head.

King Ling looked at his expression and understood a lot. "Nature is in my hands." He went forward again and pressed the county magistrate.

"If you don't follow me and send troops to do righteous things, I'm afraid that the beast will really bite you, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it."

The flickering candlelight reflected on their faces. The county magistrate smiled helplessly. "In that case, what is there to say about the small one? I had to do it. ”

The prefectural magistrate opened the silver in the government again, and then lured many bandits, and they recruited troops and horses, and arranged stakes and rolling stones on the wall on one side.

King Ling and the others kept going to the surrounding counties to blackmail those governors. At this time, the people of this land also heard the wind.

They all wanted to escape from this dangerous place, but they were directly caught by those recruited soldiers and forcibly made them the lowest strong men.

At the same time, Liu Yichen and them found a small county. The county magistrate over there also received them kindly and took them to the county office.

Song Zhiyao thought about all this, she tossed for so long, and it was so easy to get here, which means that things may be difficult to clean up.

The prefectural magistrate looked at them, embarrassed and touched the patches on his shirt. "I didn't expect that Brother Huang, I could come to see Xiaoxian in person."

Liu Yichen smiled softly. "You don't have to be polite, it's just that the surrounding counties are all making trouble, and I don't know why."

Hearing this, the county magistrate whispered. "It is said that it is King Ling, he is going to do a big thing, and he has made officials for those county officials."

Liu Yichen also understood what was going on. "My lord, that's the case, they stationed soldiers, but it's a felony to rebel."

The county commander smiled helplessly. "The villain is also a reasonable person, how can he follow those rats, but they blocked the post road."

Song Zhiyao listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. "There must be a way, otherwise, it will even threaten the imperial court."

The prefectural order continued. "What they want now is to raise a soldier and horse to murder the adult, and push the sin to the bandits, and the court will not be able to punish the crime."

Listening to his analysis, it is basically similar to what Liu Yichen thought. "If you want to put down the rebellion, you have to rely on your lordship, which is really troublesome."

The county magistrate smiled innocently. "Imperial court monks, at this time, there is a guest room over there, you have a good rest tonight, and you will find a way tomorrow."

Song Zhiyao and the others didn't say anything more, and went to the guest room on the side. Although it is not gorgeous or luxurious, it is very neat and clean.

Liu Yichen settled those people aside and stayed with Song Zhiyao. "Okay Yao'er, this place is a little shabby, it's really hard for you."

Song Zhiyao pinched the rough straw mat under her and smiled. "It's nothing, it's just that this county order is also a rare good official, it's really simple."

She was just about to fall asleep, but she felt a little thirsty. "I'm so thirsty, Xianggong, can you get some water?" She felt a sense of laziness in her body and didn't want to get up.

Liu Yichen put on straw sandals, put on a cloth coat, and walked straight out. "Lord County, where there is water, I will go find water to drink."

The county commander held out his hand and pointed at it. "It's over there." Handed Liu Yichen a celadon bowl, he walked on the muddy stone road and headed towards the well.

Although the night is so dark, the water inside is so clear. He turned the shaft of the well and pulled it up with all his might, lifting the water.

"The water is delicious." Liu Yichen felt that the water was so lubricating and thirst-quenching, and he drank it in a big gulp, swallowing it into his throat, and he felt cool.

Suddenly, from behind, a cold wind suddenly blew, and a white light flashed. Liu Yichen felt a pain in the back, and suddenly turned around.

There was a man in black, holding a dagger in his hand, and sneered. "I already knew you were here, uncle, and I will take your life today."

Liu Yichen felt that his back seemed to be bleeding. It's just that I can't care so much now. He slammed the bucket and sprayed it on the face of the man in black.

"There are thieves!" As he ran backwards as fast as he could, the thief reacted instantly, and threw his dagger in the direction of his back.

At this time, the county order also ran over. "Brother Huang, go quickly, the little one will block him." Lift up a Taishi chair and thrust it hard.

At this time, the noise of the fight also woke up Hou Qu. He came from outside the door, raised his stick, and struck the man in black on the head with a strong move.

The man in black ducked back, but in his hand he did a trick, and a tough steel rope flew out, and a sharp hook hung from it.

Hou Qu turned around and flashed, and there was a bloody mark on his arm. "You thief, die!" It's just a little bit harder.

This time, it hit the thief directly on the neck, and he threw his body back, fell to the ground and convulsed, and after a while, he stopped moving.

Liu Yichen covered the wound behind him, and his hands were stained with blood. "It's not good, let's go to Doctor Lu and ask her to help us get some medicine."

It took them a lot of effort to get to Doctor Lu's room. Forcefully pushed open the door, and after a long time, it woke up Doctor Lu.

Doctor Lu kneaded her head and coughed twice. "My lord, it seems that someone has been drugged, and the old body always feels uncomfortable."

Liu Yichen listened to her words and felt that something was wrong. "How can this be? Along the way, we didn't eat or drink, and we didn't deserve to do so. ”

Doctor Lu supported her body and dispensed a medicine from the package. "The medicine is called a day's grass, and if you eat it, you will be fine at first, and you will die after a day."

As she spoke, she touched her forehead, which was noticeably purple. "You have to eat it now, as long as it's half an hour late, it's too late."

Hearing her words, Liu Yichen quickly woke up those people, and their foreheads also looked blue and purple, and they came over there.

"Drink the medicine first, then speak." Liu Yichen remembered Song Zhiyao, and quickly went to her room and woke her up directly.

"Yao'er, it's not good, we don't know what's going on, if we are poisoned by the grass for a day, we can only detoxify after taking this medicine."

Song Zhiyao kneaded her little head and felt that she was not sick. "What the hell is going on?" It's just that Liu Yichen can't help but say, let her eat it.

After tossing for a while, by the time the drug had an attack and he had recovered his health, it was already early in the morning. At this time, the county order walked forward with concern.

"My lord, what is it like?" Before he could speak, a stream of blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth, his forehead was bruised, and he fell to the ground and did not move.

At this time, those family members also ran up quickly. "Your Excellency!" One by one, they wept sadly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

Doctor Lu looked at him, and the grass attack died that day. "It's really strange, I've never encountered anything like this after so many years."

Liu Yichen stared at the family over there, feeling that they had internal ghosts. "Shut everyone in the county government directly, and don't let people out."

He thought about it in his heart, someone must know that he was here, otherwise the killer would not be so timely, and it would be hard work, brains.

Song Zhiyao also couldn't sleep all the time, always thinking about a possible rebellion, and didn't dare to touch anything, they searched the county government for a long time.

"My lord, there is nothing suspicious." Those soldiers, who were tired, searched through everything here, but they didn't find any suspicious points.

At this time, Liu Yichen walked towards his horse and found that there was an indentation, as if something strange was hidden in the luggage.

"No wonder I always felt so heavy when I rode a horse yesterday." He tugged the piece of cloth, and there was a creak, and a bloody handprint appeared on it.
