Hong Bozhi is a Jianghu person, known as the "Star Picking God Mouse", he looks thin and small, and he does have the appearance of a mouse, but he can't pick up the stars, and few people care about this majestic nickname, and everyone is more accustomed to calling him "Old Uncle".

The old man doesn't like to be a soldier, there are too many rules, the life is too hard, it's more boring than going to prison, he doesn't like the broken iron city even more, the city is almost all military camps, and a small number of houses live in the families of soldiers or prisoners, and losing a bowl will also make a storm in the city.

The old man was a thief, and he preferred another name, the thief, but unfortunately there were very few people who would call him that.

He had long wanted to be a deserter, and as soon as he heard that the "God of Pioneering" Wang Lingshang, the "Wind Knife" Gu Juren and the "Iron Shoes" Song Shaokun failed to assassinate General Zhenbei and died on the barren mountain, he knew that he could not wait any longer.

The broken iron city entered a state of martial law, it was not easy to escape, the old man secretly collected some water and food, and planned to leave the city quietly after nightfall, if he could take a horse, it would be better, if not, he planned to walk, walk for ten days, how could he reach Shenxiong Pass.

As long as he can enter the customs, the old man will be like a fish in water, and he will always find a good man to receive him.

Everything went well, General Zhenbei was in a state of shock, and spent the whole day resting in the general's mansion, except for asking for tighter guards, no other orders were issued. At night, when the other soldiers were still asleep, the old man quietly walked out of the barracks, carrying a burden and a rope around his waist, and walked towards the southeast corner of the Broken Iron City.

In this corner of the city there was a large mound of earth and stones against the wall, and his legs and feet were nimble, and he could climb up the city wall, which was not a problem for the old man.

On the way, he deliberately detoured to the General's Mansion, hoping that if he could take away the head of General Zhenbei, this trip would not be in vain.

The house was quiet, the old man looked at it for a while, or gave up this overly bold plan, if the head was placed in a secret room, he was eight or nine points sure that he could take the sheep easily, as for drawing a knife to kill, his kung fu was not as good as some ordinary soldiers.

The old man climbed up the mound of earth and stones, and quietly observed the wall for a while, and the number of soldiers defending the city increased significantly, and he only had a very short time to cross the wall.

The old man took out a special three-fingered iron claw from the baggage, tied the rope firmly to it, took advantage of the patrol soldiers' turn, he quickly climbed to the opposite side against the ground, grabbed the city wall with the iron claws, came out of the wall himself, and slowly loosened the rope and descended, he calculated the time, it was definitely enough.

Down-to-earth, the first step of escape is successful.

The old man gently shook the rope, this is also a kung fu, can shake the iron claw down, many martial arts heroes can't do it, the old man is quite complacent about this.

The rope is loose, the iron claw falls from the high wall, the old man looks up, his hands quickly retract the rope, in the dark night to catch the iron claw needs to be more bold and careful, you have to dodge at the last moment, let the iron claw fall freely, and at the same time tightly grasp the rope, reduce the impact, and avoid the iron claw from making too much noise.

He has never failed since he left school.

"Hey!"

Suddenly there was a greeting nearby, the old man was shocked, and turned around, only to see more than ten people in the dark night holding bows and arrows aimed at him, he was bent on avoiding the patrol soldiers on the city wall, and he did not expect that there would be an ambush outside the city.

Countless thoughts flashed through the old man's heart, and there was only one thing he forgot.

"Ahh The old man screamed, fell to the ground, was accurately hit by his own iron claws, and was still unconscious when he was sent to the general's mansion.

If you want to settle accounts with the Chai family, you must have evidence, Han Ruzi bypassed his own soldiers, although those fishermen were loyal to him, but they ate and lived with the Jianghu people for several months, and the friendship was not shallow, and they did not need the regular soldiers assigned by the general Han Xing, they were not familiar with the Jianghu people, but they might accept the purchase of the Chai family, he sent several teams of soldiers from the original Broken Iron City to go out of the city in the name of inspection, with only one task, to catch anyone who stole away from the Broken Iron City.

Han Ruzi was just trying his luck, guessing that Wang Lingshang and the others might still have accomplices in the city, they would either continue to assassinate the general of Zhenbei or flee, if they couldn't catch anyone tonight, Han Ruzi could only imprison and torture more than a dozen Jianghu people in the camp.

That's the worst option, and it's very likely that a truly loyal soldier will be wronged.

Han Ruzi slept for a while during the day, although he was still a little tired, but his spirit was acceptable, and he watched Lang Zhong apply medicine to Hong Bo to heal his injuries.

He remembered the skinny man and could even name his nickname.

The mad monk Guangding once said that the tired marquis didn't know how to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, so he couldn't keep strange people, let alone let them serve his life.

Han Ruzi looked at Hong Bozhi who was in a coma, and wondered how the Chai family had no chivalrous reputation, how could they win the loyalty of the Jianghu people?

Lang Zhong had done his best and said, "You should be able to wake up before dawn, if not...... There is no power to return to heaven. ”

Han Ruzi nodded and went back to his room to rest, the General's Mansion seemed to be calm, but it was actually heavily guarded, but he was still not at ease, there were assassins hidden in the ministry, who else was worth trusting?

Han Ruzi once again remembered Taizu Han Fu, who had encountered many betrayals during the struggle for the world, and Yang Feng said that Taizu was never soft on traitors.

Cai Xinghai, the captain of the Ma Military Academy, asked to see him, and Han Ruzi believed that the eunuch was all veterans of the Broken Iron City outside the city, but the commander was Cai Xinghai.

"That's it for now." Cai Xinghai came to report the situation, "I sent someone to secretly check, and the other people on the list are resting in the camp, and there is nothing abnormal." ”

Han Ruzi has put the people from the Quying Camp on the list and is on strict guard.

Cai Xinghai did not retreat, he wanted to stop talking, Han Ruzi said: "Cai Xinghai, there is no need to be restrained in front of me. ”

The fat eunuch still knelt down and kowtowed, got up and said, "There is something I have to remind the tired marquis, I hope the tired marquis can prepare early." ”

"Say it."

"When the tired marquis went out of the city, he took seventeen noble sons with him, and seven of them died on the barren mountain, which may cause a lot of trouble."

Those dozen or so people all have noble family backgrounds, and they once used the relationship between their father and brother to want to be transferred to Shenxiong Pass, but they were rejected by Han Ruzi, and took them to observe the enemy's situation, but they didn't expect to meet the Huns.

"The nephew of Feng Shili, the right general of the Northern Army, is one of the dead, right?"

"Yes. Feng Shili sat in the Shenxiong Pass and commanded 30,000 ambush troops, for sure...... Won't be happy. ”

Han Ruzi sighed, "I understand." ”

"To be honest, all the sons and daughters of the nobles are hidden dangers, and they are afraid of being hurt when they go to the battlefield, and they are allowed to do whatever they want."

"Since it's a war, there will be casualties."

"That being said, but as a descendant of honors, there will always be a little privilege, and a person's life is comparable to hundreds or thousands of ordinary soldiers."

Han Ruzi was silent for a moment and said, "That's how Great Chu declined, the life of one person is more important than hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he can't even exert the strength of one person. ”

Cai Xinghai knelt down and kowtowed again, got up and said: "In any case, please don't go to Shenxiong Pass easily, in the Broken Iron City, even if we fight for our lives, we must keep the Hou safe." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Do you think my life is more important than yours?" ”

"Ten thousand times more important." Cai Xinghai said seriously.

Han Ruzi smiled again, "I understand, you step down, I'll be careful, if Hong Bozhi wakes up, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes." Cai Xinghai retreated, more worried than the tired marquis.

Han Ruzi took out a few pages, which listed the names of more than a dozen Jianghu people, as well as eleven Chai family nobles.

It is said that it is the Chai family, but most of them are not surnamed Chai, they have all surnames, they are all tightly tied to the Chai family through in-laws, and are regarded as the "Chai family", and there are more Xungui children who have a distant or close kinship with the Chai family, and even Han Ruzi himself is a relative of the Chai family because of the old princess.

Cai Xinghai said that the life of a noble is worth hundreds or thousands of ordinary soldiers, and in terms of the wide range of influence, there is indeed a little truth.

Han Ruzi was about to rest, but Zhang Youcai suddenly pushed the door in, "Master, that guy is awake." ”

Han Ruzi folded a few pages of paper, put them in his arms, and walked out of the room, to interrogate Hong Bozhi personally, he would never be soft on the Chai family who bought the assassins.

It was still dark outside, and Han Ruzi and Zhang Youcai met the King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng head-on.

"It's good that you didn't sleep, I have something to do with you." The king of the East China Sea said that he also lived in the general's mansion, but Cui Teng was not, and he came to see the king of the East China Sea in the evening, but he never left the mansion.

"I have something to do, I'll talk about it later." Han Ruzi was anxious to interrogate the prisoner.

The king of the East Sea refused to give way, "My matter is more important, come into the house and talk." ”

The temper of the King of the East Sea has been much more restrained in Broken Iron City, and this is the first time that he has insisted on his own views and refused to give in.

Han Ruzi glanced at Cui Teng, the second son of the Cui family was standing behind the King of the East China Sea, he had just made a great contribution and took Chai Yue and others to rescue General Zhenbei, but at this time, his face was pale and he looked flustered, as if he had made a big mistake.

"Okay." Han Ruzi glanced at Zhang Youcai and asked him to inform Cai Xinghai to take good care of Hong Bozhi.

Han Ruzi was accustomed to a simple house, and after living in the general's mansion, he almost didn't add any furnishings, not even a calligraphy and painting was hung on the wall, and the tables and chairs were all old things.

Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea sat down, and Cui Teng, who usually thought of himself as a "family", stood with his hands down and did not dare to sit down.

"Cui Er, say it yourself." The King of the East Sea was slightly angry.

"Say anything?" Cui Teng was still a little hesitant.

"Nonsense, by this time, what else is there to hide? Do you have to let the tired marquis find out the truth for himself? ”

Cui Teng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly knelt down, and said to Han Ruzi with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean to, I didn't know that those people would really do it, I told them to wait for my order, but I didn't expect ......"

"It turned out to be an assassin you bought." Han Ruzi was so angry that he really wanted to get up and draw his knife and slash down.

"It didn't cost anything, it was introduced by someone else. Brother-in-law, I once thought about avenging Chai Yun, but I swear, I didn't want to kill you, even if it was for my sister, I wouldn't do it......"

Cui Teng kept defending himself, and Han Ruzi waved his hand several times before interrupting him, "Who introduced the assassin to you?" ”

Cui Teng glanced at the East China Sea King and said dejectedly, "It's the Flower Tiger King." ”

Han Ruzi was stunned, since the failure of the palace change, the Hua family was either in prison or outlawed, but he didn't expect to have contact with him again in Broken Iron City. (To be continued.) )
