The master bookkeeper just smiled and nodded. Liu Yichen turned his head to look at the two. "It turns out that you are a couple, how can you get out?"

They pointed to a sloping path with a steep hill below. "Once we've got over there, we'll go back."

Liu Yichen pulled Song Zhiyao and carried her on her back. "Let's go down!" He gritted his teeth, took a stick, and struggled down.

The soil was so muddy that when you stepped on it, a lot of water spewed out. Hou Qu's body was agile, running forward, and walking quickly.

In the sky on one side, many mosquitoes and flies were flying, buzzing and screaming. Liu Yichen drove away those hateful things and continued to go on.

A cold wind blew over, and they shivered. "The swamp is right in front of you, just hold on."

Liu Yichen broke a reed in his hand and threw it in. The tiny reed, clinging to the muddy water, was soon blown down by the wind.

Looking at that scene, they were anxious. "How is that good? I can't go back, this place has become a Jedi, and I can't get out of it. ”

Hou Qu stepped aside, and an idea moved. "We might as well take a different path and go around, there's a crack over there, but it's very steep."

Liu Yichen looked at Hou Qu's hand and pointed to the cliff on the side. "No, that place is too dangerous, let's go from here!"

They walked gently up the swamp and found that inside, some of the ground was heavy rock. Although it was covered in mud, it was still barely able to move forward.

Song Zhiyao felt dizzy and her head ached. Liu Yichen looked at her like this, hugged her waist, straightened his chest and went forward.

It took a long time for these people to come out. It was already getting dark. In the distance, walking on the flat road, is the already broken Tanzhou City.

The master and the woman looked at them and said. "I don't know where the adults are, but it's just us, it's also dangerous to go to that place."

Liu Yichen looked at them and smiled heartily. "You don't have to worry about my identity, but there will always be justice in your heart, and I won't let you down."

Hou Qu also said proudly at this time. "This is the emperor's brother, but he, approachable, corporal Lixian, came to this Tanzhou in person."

Seeing him like that, the two of them knelt down one after another. "Brother Huang, the little ones are rude." Liu Yichen didn't say anything, and pulled them away.

When they returned to the city, they found that most of the soldiers had somehow disappeared. The houses in the distance are even more bleak, and there is no light at all.

Song Zhiyao wondered in her heart. "What's going on?" Several people looked around and walked forward. At this time, a man came and pulled them.

Liu Yichen turned around and found that the person was actually Ren Wang. "My lord, over there, King Ling sent soldiers to loot the people, and we can't ignore it."

They listened to Ren Wang's words and asked. "Where?" Ren Wang mounted his horse, led them, and walked out of the city.

That place was the same mine where I had stayed before, and there was a cry of people in the distance. They went up and found many bodies on the ground.

Then the master bookkeeper, pointing to the tower on one side, said. "The villain tore off those ledgers and put them there, maybe these soldiers are not for property."

Liu Yichen thought while comforting the people. "It seems that the matter between me and this King Ling will be started soon, I just hope that the Holy Lord will make a clear decision."

They cautiously went that way, and the edge of the tower was covered with dust and blood. It took a lot of effort for the master to open the door.

It was dark and damp, with rats and cockroaches running by from time to time. "Right here, go down this way, go down two feet, and you'll be there."

Song Zhiyao cautiously followed behind Liu Yichen and walked down cautiously. After a long time, they found the dusty wooden box with yellowed paper inside.

Liu Yichen gently opened the wooden box and read the contents of the paper. "One thousand taels of silver, buy the barbarian snake cave, three hundred barbarian soldiers."

"On the third day of the third month of March, a merchant from the Western Regions spent more than nine hundred silver to buy iron and iron to build weapons." On those papers, the seal of the county government was printed.

Liu Yichen also understood what was going on with those account books, and instructed Hou Qu. "Sort out these ledgers and send heavy troops to protect them."

They went up, and suddenly there was a terrible shout. Hurriedly ran up, it turned out that the woman had been hit by an arrow in the chest.

The master was in a hurry, knelt on the ground, hugged the woman and cried. "How so?" The soldiers, crowded over, sweating profusely, shouted.

"Just now, the ghost that came out of nowhere, the little ones blocked up, but they didn't block it, but they killed this girl."

When Song Zhiyao saw that, she felt very pitiful in her heart. "There must be someone who wants to kill people, it seems that this person is not far from us."

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly another gust of cold wind blew, and a sharp arrow stabbed at the center of her eyebrows.

"Be careful!" Hou Qu's body moved, and his palm went down that side, and the arrow pierced his palm, and suddenly, a stream of purple blood spurted out.

Song Zhiyao was frightened, and her beautiful face leaned on Liu Yichen's arms. "Xianggong, it's not good, let's leave quickly."

At this time, Liu Yichen also understood what was going on. "They must have come to rob the ledger, and we will guard this place tightly, so that nothing can be missed."

As he spoke, the tower behind him instantly burst into flames. The soldiers were in a hurry, and they all carried the water forward.

At this time, Hou Qu, his body felt that he couldn't support it. Kneeling down, Yin Tang blackened. "How can that be?" Fall to the ground with a thud.

Song Zhiyao looked at him like that, and she was also anxious. "It must have been poisoned by an arrow, what should we do? Hurry up and save him! ”

At this time, the fire was finally extinguished. Liu Yichen and the others went forward, looking at the ledger inside, which was blackened by smoke and burned a small part.

"The rest must be rescued overnight." At this time, the master bookkeeper looked at them with despair on his face. "My Rong'er, gone, not coming back."

Liu Yichen stepped forward and comforted. "People can't be resurrected after death, so let's go back early now and protect you to a safe place as much as possible."

They took advantage of the moonlit night to drive the carriage back to the city. At this time, the entire city tower was already under martial law. It was a long time before they returned to their lodgings.

Liu Yichen hurriedly found Doctor Lu and said to her. "Doctor, my brother is wounded, the arrow is pierced in the palm of his hand, save him."

They carried Hou Qu in. Doctor Lu looked at his blackened appearance, and secretly complained in her heart. "Bring your palms over."

Liu Yichen took Hou Qu's palm and handed it to her gently. "It's okay, that poisonous thing, it's just a little bit, it's about to explode, hurry up."

Doctor Lu was in the palm of her hand, carefully smearing the tan medicinal wine. Holding a sharp blade, a cross appeared on his hand.

A thick stream of black blood erupted from the wound. "Put this handful of blue herbs directly in your lips, and after a while, you'll be fine."

They put the herb in it, and after a long time, Hou Qu slowly raised his head and opened his eyes slightly. "The little one has seen my brother."

Hou Qu's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. "The brother said that he was doing well in heaven, and only let the villain kill the dog thief and take the villain away."

Liu Yichen looked at him like that, patted him on the shoulder steadily, and comforted. "It won't be long before something like this happens, brother, take care of your health."

After tossing for a while, Hou Qu drank several large bowls of decoction and medicine before he fell asleep peacefully. Liu Yichen also arranged the master book.

"Brother, are there any other ledgers? It would be great if you could find out more, report it to the emperor, and get rid of the thief directly. ”

The bookkeeper's eyes were red, his nose was twitching, and his tears had dried up. "My lord, that King Ling, has tortured the villain for a long time, and the villain has forgotten a lot."

Liu Yichen looked at his expression and sympathized with him. I brewed a cup of fine fragrant Longjing tea and handed it to the master book. "Drink slowly."

The master bookkeeper held the teacup and took a sip. He said word by word. "The ledger villain is hidden in five places, and he found one, just now, and there are three left."

Liu Yichen said kindly. "Those three places, think slowly, it's not an overnight thing, as long as you take care of your body, sooner or later you will remember it."

The master bookkeeper looked at him gratefully. "It is the luck of the little three lives to be able to meet the royal brother, and everything the villain knows will be said."

Liu Yichen chatted with him for a long time, and he also recalled the approximate location of the ledger, but when it came to the specific details, the memory was always vague.

"I don't want to do so much, let's go to bed first! Liu Yichen let the master book sleep, pushed the door by himself, and looked out of the door, it was Song Zhiyao over there.

Her jet-black hair was tied into a spiral curl. There was also a purple flower, a cute little face, pink by a rouge puff.

Song Zhiyao ran over quickly, stretched out her slender arms, slender fingers, and gently kneaded Liu Yichen's back.

"Xianggong, that's the case." She pursed her little pink lips and snorted. "I'm going to die of being so anxious to keep this girl waiting for so long."

Liu Yichen looked at her shy appearance and gently pressed it against her forehead. "Say a few words to the master bookkeeper, and we'll rest."

The two were about to enter the door to make love, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Song Zhiyao was very unhappy in her heart. "It's really spoiling the girl's interest."

Liu Yichen hurriedly put on his shirt and looked at Ren Wang outside the crack in the door. "The place where the old county king lives has just been plundered by enemy soldiers, and it is in danger."

Hearing Ren Wang's words, Liu Yichen was shocked in his heart. "I didn't expect that King Ling would be ruthless to the old county king, it's really inhumane."

He hurriedly summoned his soldiers and mounted his warhorse. "Come with me to the Heju Pavilion!" The team of horses, trampling on the ground, made a whirring sound.

Song Zhiyao heard the noise outside, put on her skirt, and wanted to see what was going on. As soon as I walked to the gate, I only saw the back behind me.

"How can you do this to me?" Song Zhiyao was very sad in her heart. "If that's the case, my father-in-law wants to keep me, so he actually says goodbye."

At this time, Ren Wang came over and whispered comfort. "Zhiyao, you don't have to worry, it's just that he went to rescue the old county king, and the matter is very urgent."

Listening to his words, Song Zhiyao's eyes widened and she said. "If that's the case, take me there! I'm not going to trouble my father-in-law. ”

Ren Wang looked at her, waved his hand, and said helplessly. "How can that be? How can I do this when there are no eyes on the battlefield? ”

Just as he was persuading Song Zhiyao, Song Zhiyao saw the war horse he had bolted to the side, and jumped on the horse with a heart.

She slammed the whip and snapped. The war horse, carrying Song Zhiyao, knocked down Ren Wang and ran in the direction of the distance.

By the time Ren Wang raised his head, the horse was long gone. He was stunned, anxious. "There must be three long and two short, how can I explain to adults?"

Liu Yichen and them finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. The house above had been burned to the ground. Billowing smoke.

"The old county king must be there." He ordered the soldiers to surround it. At the foot of the mountain on the side, there are long thorns.

Now Liu Yichen is in a dilemma. "If it's an attack, once you kill the old county king by mistake, it will be miserable, but."
