Chapter 63, Killing in the Night
Unconsciously, the team has entered the desert, the wind and sand are agitated, almost able to cover people's eyes, the slightest carelessness, fine sand particles will get into people's eyes and nostrils, even if they are in the carriage, Jia Xu hates to see yellow sand.
The probe glanced out, as far as the eye could see, the yellow sand was a sea, uninhabited, and desolate.
Jia Xu sighed, if it wasn't for the funeral to go home, he would never want to return to Xiliang again, just like a child in the mountains, looking forward to going out all the time, once he goes out, no one wants to go back to that isolated and desolate place, even if it is his homeland.
Several sand thieves found Jia Xu's convoy, and when they saw the three words "Shang Shujia" written on the flag, they glanced at each other, gathered together, and summed up.
"I heard that Jia Xu made a book, is it really him?"
The sand thief who took the lead gritted his teeth hatefully, "If yes, it would be great, finally waiting for a chance to take revenge." ”
It turned out that these sand thieves were the ones who were deceived by Jia Xu back then.
At the beginning, Jia Xu acted the same as the real thing, saying that he was crazy, and promised them that he would recommend them well when he saw Duan Ying, but as a result, these sand thieves were happy in vain, and waited in the desert for many months, and finally realized that Duan Ying's grandson was just a penniless poor scholar.
This group of sand thieves has always wanted to seek revenge on Jia Xu, but no one expected that when they saw Jia Xu again, Jia Xu had already changed into a scholar, and they were followed by many guards with knives and swords, even if they wanted to take revenge, they had no confidence.
If they knew that Li Wei wanted Jia Xu to be a scholar and servant, but was rejected by Jia Xu, the designated sand thieves would be even more surprised.
After entering Chang'an, Jia Xu was not interested in high-ranking officials at all. On the contrary, the more powerful and domineering Li Wei these people are, the more worried Jia Xu becomes, even if he doesn't have any official position, he doesn't want to take his life.
A sand thief said, "I really want to slaughter Jia Xu with a knife, we were fooled by him back then, this matter is boiling, Jia Xu is very famous, but a few brothers, was almost laughed to death, so Lao Tzu still feels that he can't raise his head, and it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law." ”
Another sand thief asked unwillingly, "Do we still have a chance for revenge?" ”
"It's more realistic to dream, Jia Xu is red and purple now, he is surrounded by Xiliang soldiers who can fight well, before he gets closer, we immediately have to move our heads, and when he returns to Chang'an, it will be even more useless, I heard that Chang'an City, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Guangxi Liang."
Someone asked puzzledly, "Is he a fool...... Why can you be such a big official? ”
A sand thief with a little intelligence said, "I heard that he gave Li Dao and them a clever plan to save everyone's lives. ”
The sand thief boss fled away with people, not wanting to be targeted by Jia Xu's guards, and asked what happened.
After listening, the sand thief boss scolded, "Lao Tzu doesn't understand, why we bury dozens of people alive, that is, sand thieves, everyone is afraid, everyone hates, it doesn't mean anything at all, he Jia Xu killed so many people with a plan, but instead became a big official." ”

"Lord, this pavilion is very suspicious, I just turned around and found a lot of sneaky guys."
Chen Lan walked up to Zhao Yun and said with a serious expression.
Zhao Yun smiled indifferently: "I expected it a long time ago, let everyone be careful." ”
After dark, the guy brought the meal, "A few masters, tired all the way, eat something while it's hot, this is what we specially prepared for you." ”
Zhao Yun nodded, "If you have to work, you can step down." ”
When the guy left, Zhao Yun turned over and sat up from the bed, instructed Chen Lan to take out the dry food and water he brought from the package, and packed the food on the table in a package.
Chen Lan asked, "Lord, do you suspect that someone would poison the food?" ”
Zhao Yun said with a serious face, "Since Li Wei has the intention of harming me, it is very likely that he will poison the food, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and don't be careless in everything." ”
Chen Lan asked puzzledly, "Since the lord knows that they are going to attack the pavilion, why don't we live elsewhere?" ”
Zhao Yun shook his head, "Anyone who is ordered to enter Beijing, whether it is a civil official or a military general, according to the convention, will be arranged in the pavilion, not to mention, the entire Chang'an City is controlled by Li Dao and others, it is the same everywhere, even the palace where the Son of Heaven is located, I am afraid that it has already been filled with their ears and eyes." ”
Guanyi: It is a place for court officials or other public officials to rest.
Post Station: It is a place in ancient China for people who pass official documents and military information or officials who come and go for food, lodging, and changing horses.
It is equivalent to a guest house for later generations.
Even if he knew that this was the Longtan Tiger's Den, Zhao Yun had to live in the pavilion.
After about an hour, the man knocked on the door and came in to clean up the dishes, and when he saw that many of the dishes were empty, the man was secretly happy in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled and put the things away.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Li had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the guy coming in, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
"My lord, don't worry, they have eaten all the food, I will wait and lie down."
Li Li nodded, very satisfied, took out the money bag from his waist and threw it to the guy, "This is a reward for you, okay, there is nothing for you here, you can go down." ”
The man's eyebrows fluttered, he checked it, heavy, hurriedly thanked him, turned around and was just about to leave, Li Li suddenly grabbed the sword, and a sword pierced the back of the man's heart.
About the third watch, it was already completely dark outside, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was the time to kill.
Seeing that in Zhao Yun's house, there was no sound at all, Li Li asked Lei Hu to push the door and walk in with dozens of killers who had changed into black clothes, the lights in the house were still on, Zhao Yun and the others were lying on the table, some were lying on the ground, and Zhao Yun was lying on the bed.
Lei Hu carried the sword, walked towards Zhao Yun gently, did not dare to make a sound at all, and when he arrived at the bed, seeing that Zhao Yun still did not react, Lei Hu's face showed a hideous sneer, "You go to hell for me." ”
Just about to make a move, suddenly, Zhao Yun opened his eyes, Lei Hu was only stunned, Zhao Yun kicked over, bang, Lei Hu snorted, took a few steps back, and before he could stand firmly, Zhao Yun had already jumped up, in mid-air, the sword was out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and the Qingfeng Sword pierced Lei Hu's heart mercilessly.
The incident happened suddenly, and Lei Hu's subordinates were all dumbfounded, and Zhao Yun shouted, "Do it, don't leave a single one!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yun's subordinates all showed their blades, and for a while the knives and spears flickered, blood splashed, and after a while, the room was splashed with blood, and the scarlet blood was so strong that people were breathless, and the people brought by Lei Hu were cut down to the ground one after another before they could be used.
