Liu Xiao woke up slowly, and it took a while to realize her situation. In a panic, it is natural to struggle with all your might.

However, he quickly came to his senses, stopped his useless struggle, and looked directly at Shi Ah who was watching from the sidelines.

"I've unblocked you now, if you dare to scream, I'll stab you to death with a sword immediately!"

Shi A changed his Qingzhou accent and warned Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao has also been mixed in the rivers and lakes, where do you not know, the person in front of him must be a hero who kills people without blinking. He hurriedly nodded in understanding.

Shi A took out the rag that plugged Liu Xiao's mouth, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he deliberately asked first:

"Do you know why I'm here? Someone gave twenty gold to avenge a person. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiao almost couldn't hold back her scream.

Avenge!

Twenty gold!

These two words, which one, are enough to make Liu Xiao's heart tremble.

In the year that was really determined, Liu Xiao had a mortal enmity with the locals in order to collect the property, not to mention ten people?

And the wealth of 20 gold, in the current year of high gold prices, can be exchanged for 500,000 yuan. A family that can come up with 500,000 yuan to seek revenge will never be an ordinary small family!

If he is offered a reward of 20 gold for revenge, his life must be difficult to protect. So......

Don't make such an enemy!

At the critical juncture of life and death, Liu Xiao's thinking has never been so broad. In just a moment, he had already sorted out the characters he had come into contact with, and felt that only one family was the most likely......

"Is it the Zhao family?"

Shi A's expression was stunned. Half of his visit this time was to curry favor in front of Mrs. Zhao Yu, and the other half was to see if there could be any unexpected gains. Unexpectedly. Before he said anything, the person in front of him actually took the initiative to turn the topic to Zhao.

- Is there a ghost in your heart?

- Trick him!

Shi Ah is a quick person to react and make quick decisions. Otherwise, all kinds of martial arts such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds are not the best Shi A under Wang Yuemen. will not be privately evaluated by Wang Yue as the most suitable one to be an assassin.

"Zhao also knows that there is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor. However, I don't have that much patience to find out who is behind the scenes. If you cut off your head, it should be worth the Zhao family's twenty gold......"

"Don't! Something has something to say! ”

Liu Xiao was startled and hurriedly begged for mercy.

It's rare. In this case, he actually remembered to keep his voice down, so as not to alarm the rest of the family and provoke the other party to kill him with a sword.

Although Shi Ah covered his face, his eagle-like gaze had already revealed what he meant. Liu Xiao's ability to observe words and colors is not bad, of course he knows. The most important thing now is to clear your suspicion as soon as possible.

"I went to Zhao's a few days ago. I just heard that Zhao had a movement, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a few small dollars to spend. You must know that the 100 people under a certain subordinate also spend tens of thousands of dollars a month. ”

"Say it's important!"

"Yes, yes. Just Zhao Feng, oh no. Four or five days before Lord Zhao was killed, he was patrolling the county and suddenly spotted a group of horse dealers, about 30 people, passing through the countryside. ”

"I looked at the guys. His expression and movements were very different from ordinary businessmen, but he looked like a group of murderers and arsonists, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he led the team to stop these 'horse dealers'. ”

"Who would have thought that these 'horse dealers' raised their hands and took out a 'copper seal and black ribbon', saying that they were subordinates of a certain Han army marquis, and they had some private goods to sell. Seeing that they were violent, he must have been a little dependent, so he didn't dare to ask more and let them go. ”

However, this matter is a little strange, and I didn't dare to make a claim, so I hurriedly went to ask the county order. Unexpectedly, when the county order heard it, he didn't care, but told him that if he met these people again in the future, he would treat it as if he hadn't seen it. ”

"The county order said so, of course I had to obey the order. You must know that a certain county order is a confidant recruited by Wang Tingshi. In this Jizhou territory, does anyone dare to get along with Wang Tingshi? ”

A few days later, the news of the murder of Lord Zhao Bao came, and a certain person actually remembered a little bit in his heart. Next, a certain person is patrolling the countryside, and guess who you see? ”

Seeing that Liu Xiao was subdued, he still had the heart to sell Guan Zi here, and this courage made Shi A have a little appreciation in his heart. However, at this moment, the most suitable move for him is to attach the scabbard and gently twitch Liu Xiao's face.

"Say it."

After this blow, Liu Xiao relaxed a little. Since the other party is interested in what he said, this life can probably be saved.

"Yes, yes. A certain person was in the countryside, and he actually saw that group of people again. It's just that this time, these guys are no longer horse dealers, but they have turned into grain dealers. ”

Hearing the word "grain dealer", Shi A's mind moved.

——When Zhao Feng was attacked and killed, wasn't he on the way to transport food to the Taihang army?

At this point, Liu Xiao's suspicion is consistent with Shi A.

"I heard that Lord Zhao Bao was on the way to sell grain, and encountered robbers. Calculate the time, the time of these people is just right! ”

"But, brother, you also know that these people have something to do with the county order. How dare a certain thief Cao disobey the meaning of the county order? ”

Shi A was not interested in Liu Xiao's defense. He was only interested in the clues of the matter.

"Where are these people leaving?"

Liu Xiao thought about it and replied very cooperatively:

"Probably to the southeast. Brother, the matter of Lord Zhao Bao really has nothing to do with it. With the ability of Lord Zhao Castle, even if there are ten of them, they are far from being the opponent of Lord Zhao Castle! ”

Liu Xiao's flattering words, of course, Shi A couldn't listen to them. He pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly took out his sword and broke the rope that bound Liu Xiao.

"Tonight's incident, if it is leaked, your life will not be saved. Do you know what to expect? ”

Although Liu Xiao got out of trouble with his hands and feet, he still didn't dare to disobey in the face of the other party who was full of style. Next, Shi A's actions shocked him.

Shi Ah out of the sword.

The sword is overflowing with "Zhanqi".

The target of this sword is a beloved object that Liu Xiao placed in his bedroom: a bronze jue that is said to have been dug up from the cemetery of the Zhou Dynasty.

This bronze knight. Liu Xiao often plays with it in his hands, so he naturally knows that this thing is cast in bronze, real material, and there is no falsehood.

However, Shi Ah has been sharpened with a sword. This bronze knight, it seems, was just lightly bumped by something. It wasn't until after Shi A left that Liu Xiao reached out to inspect and found that this bronze jue had actually been cut in half by Shi A's sword!

Liu Xiao has also practiced swords, of course he knows. What a terrible strength it takes to achieve such an effect. Thinking that he had provoked such a master, Liu Xiao's forehead was inevitably a little cold.

This sword, designed to demonstrate, worked quite well.

Not to mention that Liu Xiao was frightened in the bedroom, Shi A left Zhending County early the next morning. Heading southeast, inquire about horse and grain dealers along the way.

Jizhou is a big state in the world. Produce a lot of grain; It is also close to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and horse sellers also abound. Shi Ah asked around alone, but the effect was not too good. However, Shi A's luck is undoubtedly quite good. On this day, he was walking on the pipe. Suddenly, I saw a group of "strange" people.

The so-called "strange" does not refer to the strange appearance of these people, but to the temperament of these people.

If the temperament is just "tough" and "aggressive", Shi Ah will not care too much. After all, Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic person, which is recognized by the world. But. Although these people all have a murderous aura, they have a temperament that binds these murderous auraes well.

Shi A thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that this kind of temperament was the most common temperament among the soldiers of the Taixing Army. No, to be precise, it is not a temperament, but a kind of literacy, a kind of literacy that only elite fighters have. This kind of literacy is:

- Discipline.

The most important discipline is the insolence of the department. When Zhang Mad was training his subordinates, he wanted to train his subordinates into robots that only knew how to obey. Therefore, the arrogant subordinates are so disciplined that Shi A has never seen them for many years.

Because discipline is emphasized too much, there is a very rigid feeling when the insolence comes out. For example, you should get your left foot up first when you walk, put your hands on your feet when you sit, and not be distracted when eating.

Now, this kind of stereotype actually appeared in a group of servants who were pushing horse feed, which inevitably made Shi A a little strange.

Then, Shi A's eyes lit up, and he quietly turned the horse's head and followed.

In order to avoid suspicion, Shi Ah could only hang one or twenty miles apart, far behind.

Along the way, Shi Ah carefully inquired about the whereabouts of this group and faintly discovered a complex and huge network of relationships.

Two days later, the group entered a manor and suddenly disappeared. However, Shi Ah did not mean to be anxious at all.

Sure enough, soon the news came that thirty miles away in Zhongqiu County, Zhao State, a Haoqiang family with a close relationship with the eunuch party, was attacked in the dock fort and suffered heavy casualties.

Three days later, the group that had been hung by Shi Ah reappeared. It's just that this time, they are carrying cloth.

However, according to Shi A's inquiry, Haoqiang, who was attacked, was famous in Zhao for his cloth business.

Next, Shi Ah continued to follow these people around in circles. When the gang disappeared again in a manor, Shi Ah was still in no hurry. He simply ran to the gate of a barracks fifty miles from the manor, and went to visit an old friend he had met in Luoyang.

Shi A's old friend, who turned out to be a chief in the Southern Army. Later, in order to be promoted, this person voluntarily ran to Jizhou, and under the hands of Wang Fen, he found a position as a team leader, and is currently climbing to the position of tun chief.

This person had a general relationship with Shi A. However, it is always a joy to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country. He also knew that Shi A had always been keen on his career, and thought that Shi A came this time to see if there was a suitable position in the Jizhou Army.

With the assurance of a friend, it was not wartime at this time, Shi Ah looked around in the barracks, and no one cared about him. Soon, Shi Ah found the goal of entering the barracks this time.

- These people are actually the personal soldiers of the Jizhou Governor? (To be continued......)
