Chapter 160: Bringing the King In

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Seventeen officers and soldiers were killed by Liu Xiu and others. After inspecting the battlefield, Liu Xiu walked to the front of the carriage and lifted the curtain.

The screams of people immediately came from inside the car, and Liu Xiu looked at it, and the four people in the car were trembling and hugging each other, shaking together.

Liu Xiu quickly glanced at his eyes, put his sword into the sheath, waved his hand to the four of them, and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, we are from the Zhutian Capital, and this time I went to Yanqu to take you to Caiyang for refuge." ”

A middle-aged couple and two young girls in the car looked at each other, and the middle-aged man asked tremblingly, "Pillar...... Pillar Tiandu Division? Be...... Who is it? ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said word by word: "Han Army." After a while, the middle-aged man reacted, knelt in the car, kowtowed to Liu Xiu, who was standing outside, and stammered: "The strong man spares his life, the strong man spares his life."

! ”

Han was the former dynasty, the so-called Han army, that is, the rebels, the rebels. And their son Zhao Ying, but the county lieutenant of Deng County, the Han army found him, but he was afraid that the life of the whole family would be difficult to protect.

Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Excuse me, who is Your Excellency?" ”

"In ...... In Shimozhaohara, please ...... Please spare your life......"

Liu Xiu suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao!" I think Mr. Zhao misunderstood us, I have made it very clear just now that I did not come to Yanqu to hurt your life, on the contrary, we are here to protect you. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yuan looked at Liu Xiu blankly, his face dazed.

Liu Xiu said: "This is not a place to speak, let's talk about the details on the road!" After speaking, he smiled at the four people in the car again, then lowered the curtain and beckoned to Gai Yan and Li Tong not far away.

Gai Yan and Li Tong stepped forward quickly, intervened in the salute, and said, "Lord! ”

"Juqing, Jiyuan, you two bring your brothers and be responsible for escorting Zhao Ying's family to Caiyang."

There were more than a dozen people who came with Liu Xiu, in addition to Yan Guang, Gai Yan, Feng Yi, Fu Jun, Li Tong, and Jiu'er, there were also a few good entourages.

Gai Yan and Li Tong first nodded, and then asked in unison, "Lord, what about you?" ”

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have to go into the city to meet Zhao Ying." ”

Gai Yan frowned, and asked cautiously, "Lord, will there be danger?" ”

Liu Xiu pouted to the carriage Nunu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as Zhao Ying's family is still in our hands, he won't dare to do anything to me." ”

Gai Yan and Li Tong glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and said, "Don't be careless after the lord enters the city, it's better to be more careful." ”

"I will! Let's go! After speaking, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something, he turned around and lifted the curtain again, and his eyes swept over Zhao Yuan.

When he saw the jade pendant hanging from Zhao Yuan's waist, his eyes suddenly lit up, and with a wave of his hand, he took off Zhao Yuan's jade pendant.

Zhao Yuan was startled, and looked at Liu Xiu in shock and fear. Liu Xiu lowered his head and played with the jade pendant and asked, "Mr. Zhao's jade pendant looks like it has been around for some years, and if you think about it, Lord Zhao should also know him." ”

"Strongman, you ...... What do you want to ......?"

Liu Xiu took the jade pendant into his arms and said, "Mr. Zhao, this jade pendant, borrow it from me first!" ”

Zhao Yuan's body was shocked, and he was about to speak, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I don't mean to harm Lord Zhao, but want to show him a clear way!" ”

His so-called bright road is naturally to persuade Zhao Ying to defect.

Relying on two mouths to persuade others has little effect, but taking Zhao Yuan's jade pendant to persuade is different.

Liu Xiu and the others were divided into two routes, Gai Yan and Li Tong and others, and sent Zhao Yuan's family of four to Caiyang, Liu Xiu, Yan Guang, Feng Yi, Fu Jun, and Jiu'er stayed near Yanqu and stayed in the woods not far from the village for a night.

The next morning, when the sky was bright, Liu Xiu and others walked out of the woods and went to Deng County.

Nanyang is a large county, and there are more than 30 counties in the territory, such as Caiyang, Xinye, Wancheng, Dengxian and so on, all of which are one of them.

The size of Deng County is about the same as Caiyang, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 people in the city, which is not bustling and prosperous, but it is not deserted and dilapidated. The news of the robbery of Zhao Ying's family has already reached the county government. Zhang Chong, the county magistrate, Zhao Ying, the county lieutenant, and the principal officials of the county government were all sitting in the hall of the county government at this time, and the faces of the people were gloomy and the atmosphere was solemn. At the foot of the hall stood a headcatcher dressed as a headcatcher

The man.

Zhang Chong slapped the table and asked loudly: "Where is Lord Zhao's family now, and who has kidnapped him, Xing Zhutou, when are you going to find out?" The head catcher shrunk his neck, lowered his head, and whispered: "Lord Hui, Lord Zhao's family was first taken out of the village by the county soldiers, and it was an accident that happened outside the village, and there was no living mouth left at the scene, and all seventeen county soldiers were killed, and in addition, there was none."

People have seen these bad people......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhang Chong patted the table case again, and said angrily: "This official sent you to investigate, and you found out these after checking most of the night?" The head catcher bowed down, sweating like rain, he wiped the sweat, while secretly grinning, and said hesitantly: "This ...... These gangsters are highly skilled, vicious, and very experienced, and they did not leave any clues at the scene, nor did they do anything

He witnesses, villains...... The villain is really ...... There is really nowhere to trace...... ""Waste! What is the use of me keeping you? Zhang Chong was extremely angry, grabbed the teacup, and made a gesture to smash it at the head. Zhao Ying hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, he sighed, and said: "Lord Zhang, Xing Zhutou must have done his best, the other party killed seventeen county soldiers,

And there are no clues left, which can only show that the other party has a lot of background, not an idle person! ”

Zhang Chong slowly put down the teacup, spread his hands and asked, "Lord Zhao, do you have any suspicions?" ”

The county lieutenant and the county commander, one in charge of the army and the other in charge, are almost equivalent to the same level in reality, but in theory, the county order is half a level higher than the county lieutenant, at least slightly higher in terms of salary. Zhao Ying shook his head slowly, and now he was clueless. After being silent for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at the sky outside, and said to Zhang Chong and the others: "For my business, Lord Zhang and all of you have worked hard, and now that the sky is bright, you all go back."

Go take a break! As he spoke, he stood up and bowed his hand to Zhang Chong and said, "Master Zhang, I will also retire first." ”

Zhang Chong waved his hand to the other officials, and after the others left, he said to Zhao Ying: "Lord Zhao, you don't have to worry too much, since the gangster robbed Lingzun Lingtang, if you think about it, it won't hurt the life of his second elder for the time being." ”

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "I know, this matter also bothered Master Zhang." ”

"Lord Zhao, do you still need to be polite to me?" Zhang Chong is in his early forties, and Zhao Ying is less than thirty, but the two of them have been working together for five or six years. Zhang Chong comforted Zhao Ying again, seeing that the latter was absent-minded and full of sadness, he couldn't say any more, and finally patted Zhao Ying on the shoulder and said, "Lord Zhao, you also go back to sleep quickly, don't exhaust yourself, this matter,

I will send a servant to continue the investigation. ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhang."

"Lord Zhao is polite."

Zhao Ying left the county government and returned to his home. He was in the carriage and was walking towards his house, when suddenly he heard someone on the side of the road shouting, "Steal? Damn, such a big dog, he dared to steal Lao Tzu's jade pendant! ”

The population of Deng County is not large, and the law and order are good, and it is not common for children to come out in broad daylight. When Zhao Ying heard this, she subconsciously lifted the curtain of the car window and looked outside.

I saw a beggar-like half-grown child running in front of him, followed by a man of medium stature, and the two of them just ran past the carriage one after the other.

At the moment when the two of them ran over, Zhao Ying saw the jade pendant on the man's waist with sharp eyes. He is very familiar with this jade pendant, which is his father's personal jade pendant.

Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person shot out of the car. The coachman and his entourage were startled, and exclaimed, "My lordβ€”"

"Come with me!" Zhao Ying threw down this sentence, shook off his legs, and chased after the big man in front of him.

The beggar at the front ran as fast as he could, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed half the street, and then turned around and burrowed into the alley by the side of the road. The man in the back followed closely and followed into the alley.

Zhao Ying didn't even hesitate, and jumped into the alley.

When his entourage caught up, look at the alley, where is Zhao Ying's figure? As the crowd ran inside, they shouted, "Wait a minute, my lord! My lord? ”

At this time, Zhao Ying, as if he was crazy, used his strength to eat milk, and chased after the big man in front of him.

I don't know how long I ran, but when the man in front stopped, Zhao Yingcai slowed down and looked around him, even he didn't know where he was now.

He couldn't care so much, his eyes fell on the big man in front of him, he held the sword under his ribs in one hand, and the other hand behind his back, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Turn around!" ”

The man stood still and didn't move, still with his back to Zhao Ying. The latter raised his voice and shouted in a deep voice: "I told you to turn around, did you hear that?" ”

After a few moments, the man's body finally moved, and slowly twisted back into shape. Zhao Ying held the hilt of his sword tighter, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at the other party without blinking.

This man, who is in his thirties, is not good-looking, has dark skin, and if you look closely, although his facial features are not outstanding, he is also delicate and not annoying. Zhao Ying's gaze slowly moved down, landing on the jade pendant tied around the other party's waist.

Seeing this jade pendant clearly, Zhao Ying's heartbeat accelerated, he silently drew his sword, the blade of the sword pointed directly at the other party's man, and said, "Take off the jade pendant and throw it over!" ”

The man looked at him with a smile, neither moving nor speaking. Zhao Ying was about to step forward, when suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. He turned his head to look, and saw three people walking behind him.

The first one, in his early twenties, is handsome and slender.

The two behind him are also in their twenties and less than thirty, one has a mediocre appearance, but has a Dao bone fairy style, and the other is handsome, but the aura that can be exuded is gloomy and cold. Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes, and in an instant he understood everything, he looked at the handsome young man led by him, and said, "You are the gangsters who committed murder outside Yanqu Village last night?" ”
