When Shen Gui first confronted Mr. Shui Zhu, he was suspicious of this middle-aged woman who seemed to know everything. Because even if it is said that the heavens are broken, this Mr. Water Candle is only thirty-six years old, but she seems to be able to understand all things in heaven and earth; Not only does he know his life experience well, but even the people around him can also be treasured. Anyone with such magical powers, if it is not the reincarnation of an immortal who is 'clairvoyant and has ears to the wind', then behind her, there must be countless helpers who are busy for her day and night.

Shen Gui, who was praised by the Youbei people as the 'genius of the sky', and this 'Mr. Water Candle', who almost stayed at home, must also be the same. Everything in this world has a place for life and a place for death; Except for the Heavenly Spirit Veins who have seized the heavens and the earth and created their own gods, everyone's 'supernatural powers' have been accumulated bit by bit.

Just with Mr. Water Candle's 'team', the fact that they are lurking around Shen Gui without knowing it is enough is powerful enough! But such a mature and powerful deceased soldier, the last two 'rescue operations', in the end, were 'one step too late'; not only did they not catch half of them alive, but they did not even see the figure and footprints of the other party's departure......

It can be seen from this that if the murderer is not a Heavenly Spirit Vein who has come and gone without a trace, then there is only one possibility left: the group of dead soldiers raised by Mr. Water Candle are simply 'double agents' who hold two families in one hand, and Mr. Water Candle ordering them to go to the rescue is tantamount to putting out the fire with a salary and asking the weasel to watch the chicken coop!

In the end, after open and honest exchanges between the two sides, this intricate case finally revealed the tip of its iceberg. According to Mr. Shui Zhu, there are many different sources of her news: there are not only the heroes of the rivers and lakes who I met in my early years, but also some market gangsters who crow and steal dogs; There are not only small officials who are not in the grade, but also some famous court officials. Because in Mr. Shui Candle's view, only the more complex the source is, the higher the accuracy of the conclusion after multiple comparisons. Then according to Shen Gui's inference, at least in such a complex news channel of hers, the chance of problems is very small.

As for the killers and dead soldiers that she drives, it may not be so simple. Although many of those people were loyal and brave veterans who had survived a hundred battles; But at the same time, there are also many people who are Jiangyang thieves after washing their hands in the golden basin. After Mr. Shui Zhu was trained, these people acted together all year round, and naturally formed a deep affection for each other. If one of them is bought by the other, then it is very likely that they will face a collective defection!

How can it be 'one step late'? It's clearly their killer!

After listening to Shen Gui's inference, Mr. Shui Zhu also felt that it was not impossible:

"The slave family has also carefully considered this issue, but after all, there are still no effective preventive measures. First, the slave family, as a woman, is also the lady of the palm print of the Sipin prefect, so it is really inconvenient to show her head often; Second, the slave family has no power to restrain the chicken, and if they really encounter trouble, they have no ability to protect themselves; In the past three years, most of the reason why they can be used by me is to repay kindness, and there is no constraint of interests...... I heard that you wanted to take Zhao Zhukuai away, did you want to use him as bait to lure the snake out of the hole? The slave advises you that it is better to give up this idea. This Yanjing City is not as good as Fengjing, how many pairs of eyes are 'hanging' on your body now, and how many eyeliners are ambushed around the Nankang Hall, can you tell clearly? There is no secret to your every move; And if it's just you, Shen Taichu, it doesn't matter; After all, with your ability, it is not easy to keep an eye on your pins; But now you have two girls with you, and they don't have the ability to protect themselves...... Encumbrance! ”

Can Shen Guiyan not know that what Mr. Shui Zhu said is true? But at this time, the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light, and he has already lost the opportunity! If you don't make dangerous moves and seek a surprise victory, you can only be lured into the trap step by step, and in the end, like Zhao Zhukuai, you will end up losing all the games...... If there is a choice, Shen Gui, who drags his family with his mouth, will not be in danger at all.

"Hey...... Why did you get into such trouble......"

After saying goodbye to Mr. Water Candle and Governor Luo's Mansion, Shen Gui returned to the dungeon again. He took out the ashen Zhao Zhu and threw it out of the yamen casually; Then he took Li Le'an's little hand and walked away.

And this Zhao Zhu was about to see the light of day, and the whole person was like a ghost, screaming and roaring in the direction of his house......

After Shen Gui sent Li Le'an back to the Nankang Guild Hall, he single-handedly returned to the Zhao family's courtyard and monitored the courtyard all night. However, what Shen Gui saw and heard, in addition to the shouting and scolding of the neighbors, was only Zhao Zhukuai's strange cry like a kitten's cry; Until the early morning of the next day, when Shen Gui looked at Zhao Zhukuai, who had distorted facial features and crooked eyes, and ran naked onto the street, he sighed heavily and returned to the Nankang Hall to catch up on sleep.

Yes, this Zhao Zhukuai has now become a madman.

Shen Gui, who had enough spirits, took the two girls to Qinghe Building to fill his stomach; After that, he called a donkey cart for the two of them and asked them to ride back on their own; He himself rented a horse and headed straight northwest while the gates were not closed.

When there was still five miles to the Chiwu stronghold in Yanshan County, Shen Gui stopped his horse and walked through the dense forest on foot. It didn't take long for him to find Qi Yan leaning against the trunk of a bald tree on the edge of the dense forest.

"How's it going?"

"Nothing special, except for training and running errands. At least for a while, I didn't even see a single person. ”

"Hmm...... If I want to know, those wastes who went to the Nankang Hall to assassinate me still have a few alive now; But at the same time, you don't want the people of Chiwu to know about it, can you do it? ”

After Qi Yan listened, he first looked up at the sky, then poked his finger into his mouth, and then raised it high to measure the direction of the wind, and then replied with a frown:

"Nothing is a problem. It should be windy after nightfall today, and it will not be too difficult to take this opportunity to do this. ”

In fact, Shen Gui has no prejudices against the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an, and even his Laozi Tianyou Emperor Zhou Yuanqing. But combined with the many strange things that have happened recently, I am afraid that the attitudes of these two noble people are also very ambiguous. Shen Gui dared to trust Zhou Changan, but he didn't dare to trust his subordinate Chiwu.

It didn't take long for it to get dark. When Shen Gui, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, heard the extremely low sound of breaking the sky in his ears, he opened his eyes again, and he could no longer see Qi Yan's figure......

About half a pillar of incense has passed, and Qi Yan has not returned; On the contrary, the lights suddenly brightened in the stronghold of Chiwu; There was also a young man wearing only trousers, holding a gong in his hand, and ran into the courtyard in a panic......

Shen Gui frowned, knowing that he was afraid that Qi Yan had already exposed his whereabouts, so he hurriedly untied a black dart from his waist, raised his left hand, only to hear a sharp whistle from the dart, and went straight to the 'gong and drum player' in the courtyard......

No sooner had the man raised the hammer than a black dart with a hole in the end appeared in his throat, and as he breathed dying, he whistled sharply......

It is worthy of being the elite of the four princes, whether it is the defensive strength or the reaction speed, it is far from comparable! Although Shen Gui's dart was just to attract the attention of the other party and help Qi Yan, who might be besieged by the enemy, pull out enough space to retreat; But the other side's reinforcements are not only extremely vigilant, but even the emergency measures are very appropriate! After only a few glances at the corpses in the courtyard, they immediately divided into three groups: one group stood by the corpse as a 'live target', the other group began to carefully inspect the small courtyard, and the last group of men and horses, armed with bows and crossbow nets, rushed straight in the direction pointed at the end of the dart......

Until the other party had already stepped into the dense forest, Shen Gui did not see Qi Yan's figure appear. Needless to say, he must have been in big trouble in the hospital! Shen Gui thought about it like this, and his heart was even more anxious. He hurriedly fastened his veil, drew the Thunderbolt from his waist, held the hilt of the sword behind his back, and pressed it against his forearm; In the next moment, Shen Gui turned into a black panther shuttling through the forest, and after only a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace......

In fact, for masters like Shen Gui, who are good at 'fighting in the forest', the best way to deal with it is to withdraw from the dense forest, dig traps, set ambushes, and then start setting fire to the mountain! In this way, not only is the loss of manpower much smaller, but even the preparation work in advance is much easier because of the wind and fire.

Unfortunately, these red spies did not know the identity of the comer, nor the number of the other party; They only paused at the edge of the forest, and then rushed into the depths of the forest......

Shen Gui, who thought of Qi Yan's safety, had no intention of fighting with them for too long. A few rabbits fell, and the twelve red black spies who trespassed into the dense forest had an extra red line at their throats!

Judging from this clean and neat and ghostly approach, Shen Gui today is not bad at all compared to the 'Black Moon Laoyue Haishan' before the Qianjiang tide viewing!

However, although these twelve spies who were 'good at chasing the poor' could be defeated one by one, the twelve Chiwu spies who remained in the courtyard were ...... Shen Gui had no choice but to fight head-on!

The cold and howling north wind in the cold winter season, carrying Shen Gui, who 'fell from the sky' like a strange bird, appeared outside the courtyard wall of the Chiwu contact point...... Standing opposite Shen Gui was the team of Red Black spies who were in charge of patrolling and vigilance!
