Zhao Xuan hid in the inn and was frightened, sleepless all night, and at noon the next day, Sun Xiaozhen had not returned, she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she asked the shopkeeper to hire an ox cart for her and take the car to the capital.

When he was about to reach the ba, he saw dozens of black-clothed warriors galloping from the opposite side on horseback, speeding past the ox cart, and the coachman sighed, "It's the samurai of the Hidden Sword Pavilion again, which official is definitely going to suffer." ”

Zhao Xuan heard Sun Xiaozhen say on the road that the Hidden Sword Pavilion was the one who wanted to arrest them, and she was immediately frightened, these black-clothed warriors must have gone to Xinfeng to arrest themselves.

Or Zhao Xuan's life should not be extinguished, there are only three medical centers in the county, and dozens of black-clothed warriors quickly found Doctor Zhang's medical hall, but Doctor Zhang went to the countryside for a consultation, and when the black-clothed warrior found Doctor Zhang and asked about the inn where he visited yesterday, they immediately tortured the innkeeper that there was indeed a pregnant woman who went to the capital in an ox cart.

Dozens of black-clothed warriors remembered that they had indeed encountered an ox cart on the road, and they immediately regretted it, desperately beating their horses and galloping, and chasing after the capital, at this time, Zhao Xuan had already entered the capital.

Zhao Xuan came directly to the West Market and found the Meishou Wine Shop, there was a long queue outside, she didn't dare to go in directly to find someone, and she also lined up at the back of the line, pretending to be a guest buying wine.

Seeing that she was about to be discussed, I saw a little lady who rushed out of the wine shop angrily and shouted to the shopkeeper: "I came from Ganzhou, and I have traveled thousands of miles to deliver a letter to your proprietor, where is he?" ”

"Little lady, I really don't lie to you, the proprietor of my family did go to Lingzhou, he went to urge wine, and he won't be back in a few days."

Zhao Xuan's heart was cold all of a sudden, Zhang Dongzhu actually went to Lingzhou, what should I do?

She saw that the little lady was gone, and hurriedly followed, this little lady was the little fish girl, coming from Ganzhou, Guo Song asked her to send a letter to her senior brother Zhang Lei, she found the wine shop, but Zhang Lei went to Lingzhou.

Xiao Yuniang walked to the horse stake, untied the reins, and was about to turn over on the horse, when someone behind her suddenly asked in a low voice: "You are from Ganzhou?" ”

As soon as Xiao Yuniang turned around, she saw a young woman standing behind her, wearing a wide waistless long skirt, with an anxious face.

"I'm from Ganzhou, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Xuan felt that there were people around her who wanted to arrest her, she hurriedly stepped forward, glanced nervously at both sides, and asked in a low voice, "You.... Are you sent by Guo Dudu to find Zhang Dongzhu? ”

Xiao Yu Niang was stunned, "Who are you?" ”

"Do you know Yang Yu or Sun Xiaozhen?" Zhao Xuan asked nervously.

Xiao Yu Niang nodded, "I know them all." ”

Zhao Xuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Xiao Yuniang's arm, and begged: "I'm Yang Yu's.... Wife, someone is chasing me, I got separated from Hazel, you save me. ”

"Who's after you?" The little fish girl said angrily.

"Yes.... It is the Hidden Sword Pavilion. ”

Xiao Yu Niang was shocked, and the son asked her to come to the capital to find the Hidden Sword Pavilion to inquire about Yang Yu's news.

Xiao Yuniang suddenly glanced around vigilantly, and found that there were several men with thieves and rat eyes who were sneakily watching near the wine shop.

She hurriedly said, "Let's go!" ”

She took Zhao Xuan to blend into the crowd, and quickly left the West Market from the small gate of Qunxian Fang not far away.

Not long after they left, more than a dozen black-clothed warriors galloped over on horseback, and asked a few spies who were watching for the helmsman, "Is there a strange woman coming to find Zhang Dongzhu in the afternoon?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, a little lady came to find Zhang Dongzhu just now."

"What kind of little lady?"

"Wearing a samurai uniform, carrying a long sword, and looking relatively thin, she said she was from Ganzhou."

"Are you sure you heard it right, it's from Ganzhou, not from Qizhou?"

"How could the villain mishear! It is from Ganzhou, and if you don't believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper. ”

The black-clothed warrior didn't dare to be careless, so he walked into the store and asked the shopkeeper, who smiled and said, "I came from Ganzhou to deliver a letter to my master, it should be the wine shop over there in Zhangye." ”

"Did a pregnant young woman come to your proprietor this afternoon?"

"Brother Tai is joking, the proprietor of my family now has two ladies to take care of him, where does he dare to mess around, there will never be a young woman looking for him, let alone a pregnant woman."

The black-clothed warrior came out again to ask his subordinates, and the pregnant young woman that his subordinates did not see came to Zhang Dongzhu.

The black-clothed helmsman told them a few more words, let his subordinates also participate in the stalking, and rode back to report by himself.

........

After listening to Zhao Xuan's narration, Xiao Yuniang felt a little bad, Sun Xiaozhen couldn't leave Zhao Xuan alone in Xinfeng County, he was likely to be more than lucky, and he couldn't stay in the capital anymore, the Tibetan Sword Pavilion had many eyes and ears in the capital, and many beggars and ruffians in the capital were controlled by the Tibetan Sword Pavilion.

Qunxian Fang was close to Jinguangmen, she hired an ox cart and took Zhao Xuan out of Jinguangmen directly.

Xiao Yuniang did not go to find an inn, but went to the countryside, found a family to rent a private house, and gave the landlord a few taels of silver to settle Zhao Xuan to raise a baby.

"Don't worry! With me, no one can kill you. ”

Zhao Xuan wept and said: "My husband said that he was going to do a big thing, and I don't know how he is doing?" ”

"Don't think too much about it first, take care of the fetus, keep the child, this is the most important thing, I'll buy you medicine."

Zhao Xuan nodded, "I still have some medicine, in the box, you can eat it for two or three days, and there is a prescription." ”

Xiao Yuniang found the prescription and said with a smile: "It's good to have a prescription, I'll go directly to the pharmacy to steal the medicine, no one knows." ”

........

Li Man has never been so crazy as he is today, the Hidden Sword Pavilion of 5,000 people can't catch a weak woman who is pregnant, when the news spreads, what face does she have to meet people?

Li Man stared viciously at the twenty or so subordinates kneeling on the ground, "I actually passed by her, what's the use of raising you waste?" ”

She shouted, "Take it down, and each of you will cut off your left hand!" ”

The faces of more than 20 subordinates turned pale, but no one dared to open their mouths to beg for mercy, and whoever dared to beg was not punished by cutting off their hands, but directly cutting off their heads.

A dozen samurai rushed in and escorted a group of black-clothed samurai out.

At this time, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in from outside, and said to Li Man with some reproach: "Little sister, how can you cut off their hands?" ”

This woman's name is Gu Fengming, and she is also the apprentice of Gongsun Auntie, one of the founders of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, she does not know martial arts, inherited the sword-casting skills of Gongsun Auntie, and later married Zhang Yajiu, a famous swordsmith in the Tang Dynasty, after her husband died, she has been living in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, responsible for maintaining the Hidden Sword of the Son of Heaven, and never asked about the affairs of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, but just now, she saw more than 20 warriors with their palms cut off, just because they didn't catch anyone, which made Gu Fengming finally unbearable.

Li Man said coldly: "This is the rule of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, those who do not do well will be severely punished, and the criminals actually slipped away from under their noses, I have already been gracious if I didn't kill them!" ”

"There are no rules for mutilating human limbs in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, when the master is alive, the wrongdoer is only beaten and confined, and he will never cut off his hands and feet, let alone kill people, are you so cruel, are you worthy of the master's teachings?"

Li Man restrained the plan and anger in his heart and said slowly: "Seventh Senior Sister, now that the Hidden Sword Pavilion is my master, I have to follow my rules, it has nothing to do with the master's teachings, more than twenty of them can't even catch a weak woman who is pregnant, shouldn't such a subordinate be killed?" ”

Gu Fengming looked at Li Man blankly, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "Little junior sister, among all the junior sisters, the person that Master values the most is you, your martial arts are the highest and your ability is the strongest, everyone expects you to carry forward the Hidden Sword Pavilion......."

"Isn't it big enough now?"

Li Man interrupted Senior Sister's words and said angrily: "When Master was alive, there were only more than 100 people in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and now there are almost 5,000 people, isn't it enough?" ”

"Not so! Strength also has to match virtue, instead of chasing and killing a weak woman who is pregnant, and doing those things that have lost their conscience, what is the difference between such a Tibetan Sword Pavilion and Yu Chaoen's subordinates? This kind of Hidden Sword Pavilion makes me feel ashamed, and Master Jiuquan will not be at peace! ”

Li Man stared at Gu Fengming sharply, and said word by word: "Senior sister, I will tell you again at the end, the Hidden Sword Pavilion is not the master's private property, it is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, to put it mildly, it is the eagle dog of the Son of Heaven, and he can't do great things with a soft heart, if you can't accept it, I advise you to quit the Hidden Sword Pavilion as soon as possible, according to the rules, the Hidden Sword Pavilion only dies, not retreats, but I can give special approval, you go!" Don't let me see you again. ”

Gu Fengming nodded, "I'm leaving, I can't get used to your cruelty and ruthlessness, killing innocents indiscriminately, you ask for more blessings!" ”

After saying that, she turned around and left, but as soon as she took two steps, a sword light shot out from Li Man's hand, penetrating the back of Gu Fengming's heart, Gu Fengming screamed, she looked back at Li Man in pain, and fell to the ground and died.

Li Man stepped forward, stepped on her head, pulled out the sword from her body, and said expressionlessly: "The Hidden Sword Pavilion only dies, not retreats, since you want to find death, no wonder me." ”
