Chang'an City.

Han Zhaozhi, who was sitting in the black carriage, was about to rush to the palace, and not long after leaving the gate of the Tingwei Mansion, in the direction behind him, several black horsemen galloped over, and they were not allowed to ride horses in Chang'an City, which was not an emergency military affairs, and these knights ignored the ban, obviously something had happened.

Han Zhaozhi's carriage stopped, and before the black horse behind him could catch up, Han Zhaozhi had already gotten off the carriage.

The horses in Chang'an City are in a hurry, and there is never good news.

The leader of the black cavalry jumped down from the war horse that had not stopped, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist in front of Han Zhaozhi and bowed his head: "My lord, something happened to Geng Shan and Gu Le of Qianban. ”

Han Zhaozhi raised his eyebrows: "Say." ”

"The two Qianban adults tracked down the attack on General Shen Leng, first found out the real place where the Ministry of Industry officials were killed, and then went all the way south to investigate, and were ambushed near Pingyue Road, the black cavalry died, and the two Qianban adults were seriously injured, and the whereabouts have not yet been ascertained, and the marks left by the two Qianban adults were found in Futian County, Pingyue Province, and our people are still tracking, and the people have not been found when they received the news and rushed back."

Han Zhaozhi didn't look like his face had changed, and after standing there and muttering for a while, he said, "Wait for me outside the city of five hundred Chang'an." ”

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage and continued to go in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

After two incense sticks, Han Zhaozhi entered the palace, the emperor was dealing with government affairs in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and glanced sideways at Han Zhaozhi, who had just entered the door, and then his eyes changed slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Obviously, Han Zhaozhi hadn't said anything yet, and obviously Han Zhaozhi felt that his expression was also very calm, but the emperor still saw it at a glance.

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers, or first say what Your Majesty wants the ministers to do."

"There is news from the northern Xinjiang, someone has accused Meng Changan of being strict with the prince Li Xiaoran, and it seems that there is a disobedient act, you should go and take a look."

"Yes."

Han Zhaozhi lowered his head: "The minister arranged for two thousand offices to go to northern Xinjiang. ”

"I have a news box over there, and how things are clear to me is just that I have to gag some people's mouths."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand: "Tell me about you." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "The minister wants to leave Beijing." ”

"What?"

"Maybe it's two thousand, Geng Shan and Gu Le."

The emperor's face changed slightly: "Go ahead." ”

Han Zhaozhi bowed, then turned around and walked out.

"The people in Tingwei's Mansion are my people, find out who they are, if it is inconvenient to say it on the surface, it is involved, then don't involve anything, it is better to die a few more people than a few more people to speak."

The emperor said in a flat tone behind Han Zhaozhi: "Bring people back and kill them." ”

"Yes!"

Han Zhaozhi turned around and bowed again, and strode away from the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Pingyue Road, Futian County.

In a private house, Gu Le glanced at Geng Shan, whose face was pale and had fallen into a deep sleep again, he rummaged over himself, found the last bit of wound medicine for Geng Shan to change, and then fed Geng Shan a sip of water, after doing this, Gu Le had almost exhausted his breath, leaning against the eaves and gasping for breath.

His injuries were more serious than Geng Shan's, but he didn't give himself medicine, all the medicine was used by Geng Shan, he didn't hesitate when he did this, he didn't mean anything to Geng Shan, he just felt that men should be like this, this is what the general said.

The weather in Pingyue Road is hot and sultry, if it weren't for the fact that they all have excellent quality and incomparably rich survival experience, such a serious injury would have been infected if it was not handled well.

If only one of the two people can live, it can only be Geng Shan.

Gu Le leaned there and gasped, thinking that Lao Tzu is a man, and a man should protect a woman, and the general said, what do you call a big man who is his mother? A big man just can't let a woman be wronged, and he can't let a woman suffer and suffer.

So even though he was in such pain, he was still a little proud.

The people who attacked them were well-trained, stronger than the black horsemen's combat power, and they didn't even react to the moment they burst out, those people cooperated tacitly, everyone was extremely fierce and proficient in killing skills.

The black cavalry he carried was all wiped out, if it weren't for his quick reaction, if he wasn't smart enough, he and Geng Shan wouldn't have survived.

Although life is very hard now, at least it is still alive.

The man.

Gu Le closed his eyes, his mind was full of the man holding the knife, covering his face, his body was straight, he came with a knife, one cut Geng Shan's sword, and then another cut his knife, the man's knife had no scabbard, nor was it wrapped, and he was holding it in his arms.

If such a big thing happened in Futian County, the people in the government would naturally know about it, but Gu Le couldn't believe the people of the county government in Futian County, those assassins dared to blatantly intercept and attack the people of the Tingwei Mansion in broad daylight, and they were not allowed to collude with the people of the county government.

Some people in Chang'an City have always had transactions and dealings with some of the original ministers of Nanyue, and the Tingwei Mansion has not found it before.

Pingyue Road looks peaceful, but in fact, those South Vietnamese who once held great power have always been unconvinced, they thought that surrender would keep their original status and privileges, but His Majesty the Emperor did not care about them at all, so they were very disappointed and angry, and secretly colluded with some people in the Daning court, who knows how much of a plot was hidden.

It's not that Gu Le didn't want to contact the soldiers in the past, but now it's so difficult to even get out of Futian County, let alone travel a long distance, he has no strength, and it's good to be alive, so he can't take Geng Shan with him at all.

Although Geng Shan's injuries were slightly lighter than him, she was no longer able to move on her own.

He was born as a soldier, and he is still a soldier in his bones, so he only trusts soldiers, Futian County is in the northernmost part of Pingyue Road, hundreds of miles away from the soldiers' station, and hundreds of miles away from the Purple Imperial City.

"You shouldn't give me all the medicine."

Geng Shan woke up and looked at the new medicine on his body, his eyes were a little moved and a little sad.

"You shouldn't be rash, you have a better chance of escaping than me, I can't move anymore, you give me my life like this, it's your own life, it's better for you to escape, and you can avenge me in the future."

"The people of the Tingwei Mansion, when did they accept their fate so easily?"

Gu Le looked at Geng Shan and smiled: "My medicine is very expensive, if you don't get up, you can be sorry for my medicine, and when you return to Chang'an City in the future, I can't forgive you without two good meals." ”

Geng Shan also smiled, her eyes red.

"Even if we're dead, we'll have to find a way to get the word out."

Geng Shan asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Nope."

Gu Le shook his head: "Those people know the Tingwei Mansion very well, we were hunted down and killed along the way, at first I thought it was their tracking skills that were amazing, after hiding in this small courtyard, I suddenly reacted, they are not how great the tracking skills are, but because they can understand the mark code we left, perhaps, they know everything about the Tingwei Mansion." ”

He took a few deep breaths to try to relieve his pain, but the frowning brows still made Geng Shan see how painful he was.

"So when you were unconscious, I went out and erased all the marks I left before."

Geng Shan said: "Have you been out?" You have such a heavy smell of blood, and you are still bleeding, and they will find traces of it. ”

"Don't worry, no."

Gu Le raised his hand and wrapped his clothes tightly, and the corners of his mouth were confident smiles.

Geng Shan suddenly reacted to something, her leg was broken, although Gu Le gave her a bone and fixed the plank, but it was difficult to move, but at this moment she suddenly crawled over, reached out and pulled away Gu Le's clothes, and there was lime sprinkled in the clothes.

"You're going to die!"

Geng Shan's eyes instantly became even redder, and she finally cried when she looked at Gu Le's pale face.

There was no medicine, so in order to cover up the smell on his body and not leave blood, he actually applied a layer of lime to the wound...... How much does that hurt?

"I'm fine."

Gu Le smiled: "When I was in the army......

"Shut up."

Geng Shan raised her hand and wanted to wipe off the medicine on her body, but Gu Le grabbed her hand: "Are women so impulsive and troublesome?" ”

Geng Shan: "Aren't you impulsive?" ”

Gu Le raised his head: "I'm not." ”

Geng Shan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

This is an abandoned house, when Daning attacked and destroyed South Vietnam, the northernmost area of South Vietnam was the most fierce place, most of the people of South Vietnam fled at that time, and now it is peaceful, but many people have not returned.

There was no food in this house, but there was water, and the well in the courtyard could fetch water at any time, but it might not be long before Gu Le ran out of strength to fetch water.

"How many days have we been?"

Geng Shan asked.

"Day four."

Gu Le raised his head and looked at the sky: "So my guess should be correct, if we hadn't erased the mark, we might have been found a long time ago." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, the sound was not loud or urgent, it was very rhythmic, and the sense of rhythm was humiliation and banter for them, Gu Le and Geng Shan glanced at each other, both of them had some despair in their eyes, their hands were clasped together, and death was outside the door.

The door creaked open, and several men in black walked in from outside, and when they saw Geng Shan and Gu Le, they were obviously smiling, as if they were a little contemptuous and a little proud.

The slender man who had always covered his face with a black scarf walked in slowly from the outside holding his knife, and after walking into the courtyard, he looked around, and finally his eyes stayed on Gu Le: "The place is well chosen." ”

Gu Le snorted.

The man holding the knife saw a stone bench not far away, and went to sit down, but the knife was still in his arms.

"Give them some medicine."

So two men in black came over, pulled Gu Le and Geng Shan away very roughly, and then applied some medicine to their wounds.

Someone else left some food, just within easy reach of two people.

"I didn't want to kill you, at least I didn't want to kill you so quickly, otherwise, you really think you can get away with that little cleverness? You've erased all the marks you've left behind, and I'll help you redraw them so that your people can find them. ”

The man holding the knife spoke unhurriedly, without any emotion, cold as a machine.

"I can only kill more people if I redraw it."

His fingers tapped lightly on his long knife, making a crisp sound.

"I hope Han Zhaozhi can come soon."

After saying this, he got up and walked out: "I heard that Han Zhaozhi's sword is very fast. ”

The men in black followed him out of the courtyard, the door was closed again, and the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, but Gu Le and Geng Shan were left with despair, the weather in Pingyue Road was still so sultry, but the two of them seemed to have fallen into the ice cave at the same time, so cold.
