227.Chapter 245: The Dust Falls
[The sixth watch, stay up late to complete. γ
The sky is also dark, and the moon has not sunk.
When Zhao Jiuchou galloped his horse and ran to the main gate of Tuva City, he found that the city gate drawbridge had been lowered and the city gate was opened.
Once I asked the guards at the head of the city, the answer I got was that Zhang Xiaoqi, the head of the team, was ordered by Lord Guo to go out of the city to do business in the starry night, so he opened the city gate.
And the next reply of the city guard surprised him even more, saying that after Zhang Xiaoqi left the city, about a short time later, another black shadow rode out of the city gate, seemingly chasing Zhang Xiaoqi.
The guards of the city thought that the two of them were going out of the city in the starry night on the orders of Lord Guo, so they were careless and did not chase out of the city to ask.
But Zhao Jiuchou was even more strange when he heard it, who was the second starry night horse out of the city?
Could it be Zhang Xiaoqi's comrade?
If it's the same party, then why don't you go out of the city together?
Zhao Jiuchou was confused, and when he saw that time was pressing, he didn't bother to reprimand these short-thinking city defenders, and waved his horsewhip again and again to urge the horses to gallop, and chased in the direction where Zhang Xiaoqi left.
As Guo Ye guessed, the guards told Zhao Jiuchou that Zhang Xiaoqi was heading in the direction of Yizhou Mansion in Shuzhong.
Zhao Jiuchou twitched the horsewhip to chase after him, and couldn't help but sigh that Guo Ye's guess was accurate.
The road from Tuva City to Shuzhong can be reached as long as you pass through Alitu City and turn back along the Tibetan border.
This also saved Zhao Jiuchou the trouble and chased him directly to the end.
The horses galloped and raised their hooves, chasing the rebels with stars and moons.
After about a long time, Zhao Jiuchou had been running for nearly ten miles, when suddenly there were two sound of horizontal knife collisions not far away.
There was a sudden pang in his heart, and the sound of the soldiers fighting, could it be the fight ahead?
With a low shout, the horse hurried forward, and the fighting had stopped, but two figures were seen.
No, it should be the figure of a living person, a corpse lying motionless on the ground.
Zhao Jiuchou's heart was even more weird, the sound of the two horizontal knife strikes just now can be understood as two moves between the two of them, could it be that only two moves separated the winner and sentenced life and death?
Looking at the figure of the corpse on the ground, as well as the leather armor, Zhao Jiuchou was sure that the one who died was Zhang Xiaoqi who he was chasing.
You are an immortal, Zhao Jiuchou secretly scolded, and he actually made people cut off Hu.
Immediately, he rushed forward again and scolded angrily: "What person? β
When the voice fell, the man was close.
I saw that the other party seemed to know that Zhao Jiuchou had already been standing not far away for a while, and he was not surprised by this angry scolding at all.
Instead, he turned around leisurely and came directly to face to face with Zhao Jiuchou, who was riding on the horse.
As soon as I turned around,
Zhao Jiuchou exclaimed in surprise no matter how calm he was, and shouted, "It's you?" β
The man, dressed in a night suit, was tall and thin, wiped the bloodstained horizontal knife on his trouser leg, then inserted it back into the scabbard, and said coldly: "Why can't it be me?" β
Zhao Jiuchou was so shocked that he couldn't have imagined that he would kill Zhang Xiaoqi in advance.
couldn't help asking, "Why did you kill Zhang Xiaoqi?" Personal vendettas? β
The man shook his head and sneered: "No grudges, no hatred!" β
Zhao Jiuchou wanted to ask again, but how did he know that the other party said very lightly: "I have the same purpose as you, he doesn't die, and no one wants to live alone." β
After that, he walked to the side of his mount, stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse, and continued to say coldly at Zhao Jiuchou: "Farewell!" β
Syllable~~
As soon as the horse's buttocks were pumped, the horses were in pain, and they were ...... With a hiss, he walked away and returned in the direction of the city of Tuva.
Zhao Jiuchou looked at the one person and one horse who walked away, and then looked back at Zhang Xiaoqi who was lying on the ground lifeless.
Suddenly dismounted and walked to Zhang Xiaoqi, slowly squatted down, probed his snort, and checked his pulse.
It's completely stopped, and it's lifeless.
Sure that Zhang Xiaoqi was dead, Zhao Jiu sneered: "He is right, if you don't die, no one wants to live alone." β
Then put his hands on Zhang Xiaoqi's face, slowly closed his eyes that were wide and staring, and said to himself: "You, don't have a good future, you have to engage in this kind of sideways." Zhang Xiaoqi, be a good man in the next life. β
With that, he put aside his corpse and abandoned him into the wilderness, turned on his horse again, and turned back in the direction of Tuva City.
About half an hour later, he entered the city of Tuva, ordered the guards to pull up the drawbridge, closed the city gate, and rushed to the inn where Guo Ye stayed overnight.
After entering the inn and entering the backyard, he found that Guo Ye's room was brightly lit and he had not yet fallen asleep.
Obviously, Guo Ye has been waiting for news from him.
Tuk Tuk Tuk ......
After Zhao Jiuchou knocked on the door, he said outside the door: "I'm back." β
Guo Ye did not open the door, but beckoned: "The door is not bolted, push the door by yourself and come in and talk!" β
Zhao Jiuchou shook his head stubbornly and said, "No need, just say a few words, I'll go back and rest, it's not early." β
Guo Ye sighed.
Zhao Jiuchou reported as usual: "As you expected, Zhang Xiaoqi was rebellious, and he really went out of the city to want to go back to Shuzhong to inform. β
"Alas......"
Guo Ye sighed slowly, obviously this answer was the last thing he wanted to hear.
Zhao Jiuchou continued: "People are dead, debts are gone!"
Guo Ye in the room was silent for a while, and through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows, Zhao Jiuchou saw Guo Ye's figure inside and nodded.
He continued: "But not my own hands? β
"Oh?"
When Guo Ye heard this, he immediately asked, "Who did it?" β
"Ganzhu Shou !!!"
"What?"
Obviously, Guo Ye was also extremely surprised by this answer, why did Gan Zhushou find out that Zhang Xiaoqi was wrong at the banquet?
There was another silence, and after a long while, Guo Ye asked, "Have you ever met with Gan Zhushou?" β
"Touched!"
"What did he say?"
Gan Zhushou's words, Zhao Jiuchou remembered it vividly, and immediately replied: "He said, Zhang Xiaoqi is not dead, and no one can live alone." β
"Huh?"
Guo Ye nasified in confusion again, and soon he replied: "Forget it, this matter will end here, and the matter of Gan Zhushou should not be investigated further." Although this person and I are of the same mind, the secret hidden in his body is by no means as simple as we see. β
"Know! You know, I'm not nosy! \"
After Zhao Jiuchou replied simply, he said goodbye to Guo Ye: "It's over, it's not early, I'll go back and rest." β
Guo Ye sighed, and suddenly explained: "Tomorrow, come with me to Yang's Racecourse." This huge horse farm is about to change its surname to Guo, and I, the owner, have to go to familiar places, right? β
In Guo Ye's words, Zhao Jiuchou heard the peace of mind that the dust had fallen.
After answering softly, he turned around and strode away......
