"How did you know my whereabouts?"

After being reminded by Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun, who was troubled by the matter of "ordering the killing of Chen Xiao's father Chen Bing", faintly felt that something was wrong.

You know, because of Una's relationship, their group got off the boat halfway.

In this case, he can be found by Chen Xiao, and even Zhao Hongrun is a little stunned.

It's a pity that there is one thing that Mi Jiang unfortunately said, that is, Chen Xiao's resentment towards Zhao Hongrun gradually turned into hatred as Zhao Hongrun refused to kill Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu, and even helped them in private.

"How did I find out about your whereabouts?"

Facing Zhao Hongrun's inquiry, Chen Xiao sneered again and again, and said bluntly: "You killed my father, I am here to kill you to avenge my father!" ”

After all, he probably realized that he had now become Zhao Hongrun's prisoner, and hurriedly added: "King Su thinks that if you catch me, I won't be able to do anything?" To tell you the truth, in order to kill you, King Su, I found many companions. ”

"Can we stop this? You were still hesitant to kill me, okay?'

"......" Zhao Hongrun stared at Chen Xiao with a strange expression for a while, and suddenly asked in a strange tone: "Didn't you say it just now, did you come here to question why I let go of Pingyujun Xiong Hu?" ”

Chen Xiao subconsciously said: "That being said, but ......" After saying that, he was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Did I say it?" ”

"This guy ......"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile and nodded indifferently.

"Okay then." Chen Xiao let out a long breath, nodded and said, "Since I have been seen through by King Su, I won't hide anything." After that, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongrun, and said, "I'll tell you, but if you want to let me go, how about it?" ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't have to guess at all to know that this guy was going to kill Xiong Hu and Xiong Tuo, so he immediately shook his head and refused: "No, you tell me what's going on, I'll treat you to a good meal." ”

Chen Xiao was stunned, shook his head and said, "I have my own dry food, and I don't need King Su to invite me to eat anything." With that, he struggled hard, but unfortunately the ropes on his body were tied very tightly, and he couldn't break free.

So he had no choice but to look at Zhao Hongrun again and reiterate the conditions: "I'll tell you the reason, you let me go." ”

However, Zhao Hongrun still shook his head and refused: "Die of this heart." …… I'm for your good, do you think you alone can kill Xiong Hu and Xiong Tuo? Do you know how many guards they have around them? ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Chen Xiao said confidently.

『…… Is this a disguised admission that he is the only one?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at the upright young man, shook his head and said, "Whether it's Xiong Hu or Xiong Tuo, even if you have the confidence to kill them, I can't sit idly by and watch this matter right now...... I will not kill you, but from today onwards, I will not let you out of my sight, for your good. ”

Regarding this matter, Zhao Hongrun didn't lie, after all, in his opinion, Chen Xiao was a little too upright, although he was brave in force, but with his head lacking roots, he killed Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu?

If Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu were reduced to the point of being killed by such a lame assassin, then Zhao Hongrun would have no need to secretly support Xiong Tuo to compete for the position of the king of Chu.

There is no doubt that if Zhao Hongrun let Chen Xiao assassinate Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu, this young man with good military strength would definitely die at the hands of the first two, which is something that no need to guess.

And Zhao Hongrun didn't want this, after all, he still had great respect for Chen Bing, the former Zhaoling County Commander.

But refusing to release Chen Xiao also deepened Chen Xiao's hatred for Zhao Hongrun, and he closed his eyes and stopped talking to Zhao Hongrun.

However, for a guy with such an upright personality, Zhao Hongrun is not disgusted, and even he is idle and has nothing to tease Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, didn't you find some companions? Why have you been arrested for so long, and you haven't seen your companion show up to save you? ”

"He, they just don't want to be exposed for the time being, and when the time comes, they will definitely save me from the predicament......"

"Really?" Zhao Hongrun had an expression of "I don't believe it".

Seeing this, Chen Xiao said indignantly: "King Su, don't be complacent. …… I advise you to release me early, or ......"

"How else?"

"......" Chen Xiao sweated profusely, and after holding back his voice for a while, he said, "My companion must have been covered with traps on the road ahead. ”

"Oh, I'll see."

Zhao Hongrun nodded.

Just as Zhao Hongrun was teasing Chen Xiao to play, Zong Wei Shen Yu pointed to the front and said, "Childe, there is a family field in front of you, why don't you rest there for a while?" ”

Zhao Hongrun immediately nodded in agreement, after all, these days they are all eating some dry food with water, and some dry jerky, if there is a chance to eat a good meal, Zhao Hongrun will naturally not miss it.

However, before going to the inn opened in the wilderness, Zhao Hongrun still did not forget to tease Chen Xiao: "You don't want to say that there are your companions in the store, right?" ”

"Self, nature." Chen Xiao said stiffly.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head amusedly.

A moment later, the group arrived at the inn.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, with four or five shopkeepers, who seemed to be more kind, and when he saw Zhao Hongrun and his party walking into the store, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How many of you are sharpening or staying in the hotel?" The shopkeeper asked enthusiastically.

Zhao Hongrun looked around the store a few times and found that this was a very small inn, and the second floor was estimated to be a living room, but at a casual glance, there should only be three.

On the first floor, there is a dining hall with long tables and about nine tables, each of which can accommodate about eight people.

Before Zhao Hongrun and others came, there were already two groups of customers in the store, one group of four people, and one group of five people, who were drinking wine, eating food, talking and laughing with each other, judging from the way they dressed, like a business trip.

"If you don't live in the store, just eat some food and drink." Zong Wei Shen Yu slapped a piece of silver on the counter and said, "Serve the best wine and food in your store!" ”

"Understood, understood." The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the piece of silver, and his eyes lit up.

After that, Zhao Hongrun and his entourage walked to the table close to the store, Zhao Hongrun and Shen Yu, the head of the Zongwei, as well as Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, Miss Su, Lu'er, Yangyu Xing, and Una sat at a table, and the rest of the Zongwei, as well as Chen Xiao, sat at two tables.

At this time, the customers in the store, after glancing at Zhao Hongrun and the others, couldn't help but talk a lot quieter.

It's no wonder, after all, it seems that Shen Yu and other sect guards, although they are dressed as civilians one by one, they are carrying swords on their bodies, and they know at a glance that they are not ordinary people.

Naturally, no one dared to look at the several women with different looks at Zhao Hongrun's table.

I have to say that although it is a small shop, the speed of serving the food is very fast, and it doesn't take much time to quickly serve a few plates of meat and a few plates of fried wild vegetables.

At this time, the shopkeeper introduced that these meats are all local game.

After that, he ordered the three shop men to bring over three jars of wine, one jar for each table.

I saw that the shop guy slapped off the sealing mud on the wine jar, and Zhao Hongrun immediately smelled the aroma of wine.

He scooped a spoonful from the jar, poured it into the bowl, and sniffed it as if intoxicated.

But just as he was about to drink, he suddenly heard Chen Xiao at the next table snort coldly: "Aren't you afraid that the wine is poisonous?" ”

"What?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Chen Xiao suspiciously.

But seeing the latter, he said indignantly: "The people in this shop are all my companions, and they have already poisoned the wine and food, if you are not afraid of death, you can eat it." ”

"Hey, hey, let's stop playing, okay?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the shopkeeper who was stunned beside him, smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, don't pay attention to that guy, that guy has a bit of a problem with his brain." ”

"Oh......" The shopkeeper who was stunned glanced at Chen Xiao with strange eyes.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already taken a sip of wine, and then looked at Chen Xiao with a smile.

Maybe seeing that Zhao Hongrun was not frightened, Chen Xiao was a little stunned, closed his mouth and stopped talking.

It is customary in the Wei State that the most noble person at the table has not yet moved the cup and chopsticks, and the rest of the people cannot move, so after Zhao Hongrun took a sip of wine, the women and the guards raised the chopsticks.

But Mi Jiang was the only one who didn't move his chopsticks, but stared at the shopkeeper expressionlessly.

Beside her, Miss Su was about to use chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, but was grabbed by Mi Jiang's arm.

"Wait, don't even move your chopsticks!" Mi Jiang shouted softly.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all turned their heads to look at Mi Jiang, but they saw Mi Jiang expressionlessly said to his sister Mi Rui: "Sister, test the poison." ”

At this time, Mi Rui was holding several pieces of meat with chopsticks, ready to stuff them into her mouth, she was stunned when she heard the words, took out a pair of delicate silver chopsticks from the bag hanging on her waist, and poked them a few times on each dish on the table.

But the silver chopsticks are still shiny.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Hongrun's expression was a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of behavior was quite impolite.

However, Mi Jiang ignored Zhao Hongrun and motioned to her sister Mi Rui: "Wine." ”

Qi Rui nodded, and poked the silver chopsticks into Zhao Hongrun's wine bowl by mistake.

In the blink of an eye, the shiny silver chopsticks were suddenly covered with a layer of black things.

"Poison in wine!"

Without saying a word, Mi Jiang picked up the plate of meat in front of him and smashed it at the shopkeeper standing not far from them.

I saw that in Zhao Hongrun's stunned gaze, the shopkeeper dodged away at an incredible speed, and actually took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed straight at Zhao Hongrun.

Fortunately, Mi Rui's reaction was also very fast, and she raised her hand and knocked on the other party's wrist, only to hear the sound of "dangchang", and the dagger in the shopkeeper's hand fell.

At the same time, the business travelers in the store also changed their previous conversation and laughter, pulled out their blades from under the table, and rushed towards Zhao Hongrun.

"Protect Childe!"

Shen Yu, the head of the sect guard, shouted, and the rest of the sect guards who had reacted immediately drew their blades and met them.

“……”

Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Chen Xiao incredulously.

However, Chen Xiao was already dumbfounded at this moment, and when she saw Zhao Hongrun's gaze, her face turned pale and shook her head again and again, "No, it's not me...... He, they...... Not my companions. I, I'm talking nonsense......"

Of course, Zhao Hongrun would not suspect Chen Xiao, an upright guy, and if you think about it carefully, it was precisely because of Chen Xiao's words that Mi Jiang noticed that something was wrong.

The problem lies in the purpose of these assassins.

"Could it be that you're coming for me?"

Zhao Hongrun frowned, and instantly remembered what his Sixth Uncle asked him at the Su Wang's Mansion a few days ago.

『…… This time, apart from the sect elder, Hongrun, have you offended anyone?" (To be continued.) )
