In the council hall of the city lord's compound, Xu Heihu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"No, Ye Haotian can't be killed. ”

"Why?" Mei Niang was puzzled: "Only when he dies can we sleep soundly." ”

Xu Heihu smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you know what Ye Haotian cares about the most until now?"

"Money, who in Quicksand City doesn't know that he regards wealth as his life. ”

"Wrong!"

"Oh, it's fate, no one is not afraid of death. ”

Xu Heihu shook his head slightly.

"What's that?"

"It's Zhuzhu. ”

"Zhuzhu, that mysterious little girl who can't see the light?"

Xu Heihu walked to the chair, sat down, took a sip of the tea that Mei Niang had drunk, and said: "When I met Ye Haotian in the city a year ago, he took Zhuzhu with him, at that time, both of them were seriously injured, Ye Haotian's injuries were much more serious than Zhuzhu, in my opinion, he would die at any time." ”

"And then, you saved them?" asked Mei Niang.

Xu Heihu shook his head: "On a whim, I threw Ye Haotian a blood pill. ”

Mei Niang listened quietly and did not speak, the Blood Activating Pill is not a precious elixir, but it has a good effect on external injuries.

"Before administering the medicine, I said that you two can only live one, and guess what? ”

"But they survived. ”

"yes. Xu Heihu sighed and said, "After that, I regretted that I shouldn't have given such a good opportunity to Yingchun Tower." ”

"Yingchun Building, was Second Sister Su who saved him?"

"No, it's Second Sister Su's sister, Sister Su. ”

Mei Niang suddenly realized: "No wonder not long ago, he ran overnight for the Spring Festival Tower, and killed twenty-seven horse thieves in one go, it turned out that he was repaying his kindness." However, people will always change, in recent months I heard that he often quarrels with Zhuzhu because of money, and he is usually reluctant to buy her a new dress, you say that he regards that girl as more important than his own life, I don't believe it. ”

"What do you know, the whole city knows that Ye Haotian is greedy for money, and everyone knows that Ye Haotian is rich, but you see that they live and eat, even the most ordinary people are not as good as the most ordinary people, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"He used all the money to treat Zhuzhu. ”

"Huh?"

Mei Niang had an expression of disbelief on her face.

Xu Heihu grabbed Mei Niang's hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, and said proudly: "So, even if I know that it is the giant crossbow shot by Zhuzhu, I can't catch her, as long as she is fine, Ye Haotian has to confess obediently, with Zhuzhu in my hand, he will never dare to talk nonsense in front of the national teacher, he has to be obedient...... Die. Now you should be reassured, right?"

Mei Niangjiao smiled: "What about how many cripples are there, why don't you arrest them together, they are accomplices." ”

Xu Heihu smiled lewdly: "Don't worry, this lake is dry, are the fish still running?" Don't worry, I won't let any of them go." ”

......

......

The next morning, it was just dawning.

The closed south gate of Quicksand City slowly opened with a creaking sound, and three carriages, escorted by forty heavily armed soldiers, walked out of the gate and headed out along the gravel road.

Ye Haotian sat in the first carriage, his hands were chained, his feet were shackled, and under his buttocks sat the old cotton jacket that he had worn for an unknown number of years, leaning on the car platform and closing his eyes to recuperate.

In the larger carriage immediately behind him sat Sun Kaishan's lieutenant Ma Gao.

In yesterday morning's battle, Ma Gao suffered some minor injuries in the arm, he is a military general, this injury is not a big problem, but in order to please the only remaining national teacher, Xu Heihu specially prepared a comfortable and luxurious carriage for him.

There was a coffin on the last flat carriage, and in the coffin lay Sun Kaishan's body.

For the sake of the safety of the road, Xu Heihu sent his right-hand man, a mid-stage school officer of the Transformation Qi Realm, to be responsible for this escort.

Before I knew it, the morning passed, and the convoy passed by a wooded field, and the school officer ordered the team to stop and rest.

Ma Gao got out of the carriage and saw the soldiers sitting on the ground drinking water and eating dry food, and his face sank.

"Why stopped?"

The school officer ran over and said with a smile: "My lord, the brothers are tired, rest and fill your stomach before leaving." ”

"Bastard!" Ma Gao slapped the school officer in the face: "Without my order, who let you call the shots!"

The school officer covered his face and glared at Ma Gao.

"What are you looking at? Didn't Xu Heihu tell you? This escort, you all have to listen to me! Hurry, continue to hurry, who doesn't listen to the command, you will look good when you arrive in Anyang!"

The officer wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, and he turned to the back and shouted loudly, "Keep going." ”

The wheels of the carriage rolled again, and the soldiers got up to follow.

"Brother Tiger, just endure it like this? This kid is obviously deliberately trying to embarrass our brothers. A soldier approached the officer and whispered.

The officer glanced at the carriage, sneered, and did not reply.

Ma Gao sat back in the carriage, took out a bag of dried meat, a pot of wine, and a wine glass from the package on the side, and poured himself a drink.

The wine was quickly drunk, and he took out another jug, and was about to pour it into the glass, but stopped again, then got up and opened the car door.

Warm sunlight shone from the sky and shone on the carriage, casting several long shadows on the ground.

The door of the carriage that Ye Haotian was riding in was opened, and Ma Gao walked in with a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

"Good wine, give me a sip. Ye Haotian stared at the wine jug in Ma Hao's hand and said.

Ma Gao sat down opposite Ye Haotian, filled his wine glass, and asked, "Want to drink?"

"Twenty years of ten miles of incense, Xu Heihu is really good to you. As he spoke, Ye Haotian stretched out his hand that was locked in iron chains.

Ma Gao looked at Ye Haotian's hand, and just as he was about to touch the wine glass, he suddenly shook the wine glass, and a full glass of wine was poured on Ye Haotian's face.

"You deserve it too!"

Ye Haotian stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and wiped his face with his sleeve: "You are too wasteful, such a good wine is willing to be trampled, and it will definitely not end well." ”

Ma Gao raised his hand and punched Ye Haotian in the face: "Boy, you don't have to fucking pretend to be calm in front of Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I'll kill you now!"

Ye Haotian touched his aching cheek and said with a smile: "I really don't believe it." ”

Ma Gao punched Ye Haotian again, and Ye Haotian bent down holding his stomach.

"You tell Lao Tzu again!"

Ye Haotian slowly straightened up and looked at Ma Gao's face, his face full of regret.

"We have no grievances, why are you here? Just before you came in, I had just made up my mind to let you live, and now, I have changed my mind. ”

Ma Gao laughed angrily, this kid seemed to be beaten, and he was full of nonsense, letting himself live? Joke! He stuck it on Ye Haotian's face, and his teeth creaked.

"Do you know, Master Sun has just received the reward of the national teacher, as long as he completes this mission, he will become the lord of a city, and I am the deputy city lord! After so many years, I finally survived, and you were ruined with one arrow! You are right, I dare not kill you, but I can torture you, before returning to Anyang, I want you to experience what life is better than death!"

Ye Haotian stared at Ma Gao's face flushed with anger, and shook his head very seriously: "It's a pity, you don't have a chance." ”

Ma Gao's eyes showed a fierce light, and he raised his hand violently, and was about to fight, when he suddenly felt something hard against his chest.

He slowly lowered his head, and his angry face was instantly filled with horror: "You, you ......"

Ma Gao is no stranger to what he is withstanding, it is a silver-gray delicate hand crossbow, it is the one that attacked Sun Kaishan yesterday, although its size is less than half of the normal hand crossbow, but at such a close distance, the terrifying power contained in the taut crossbow string can definitely easily penetrate his body.

It wasn't until now that he noticed that the chain that had been tied to Ye Haotian's hand had been opened at some point.
