In the dark night, in the west of the suburbs of Xianyang, in a remote and inconspicuous village, more than 20 black-clothed masked people suddenly rushed out, they were embarrassed and all of them were injured, and the leader was a petite figure, it should be a woman, but she was the most seriously injured.

"Chase, don't let her run."

After a while, nearly 100 cavalrymen suddenly chased out of the courtyard, most of them were holding Qin army-style long swords, and more than a dozen of them were holding bows and crossbows, chasing and shooting arrows while riding horses, murderous.

The 20 or so people who ran in front of them could race the horses with only their feet, and they were almost caught up before they had run a mile.

This village is the westernmost part of the suburbs near the mountain pass, usually inaccessible, and it is late at night, so naturally no one can save anyone, and no one reports, and it is impossible for Xianyang's Duwei army to arrive in time, so they have only a dead end.

With a sinister smile on their faces, those who pursued on horseback gradually raised their sharp swords, ready to cut off the heads of the intruders as they caught up, or else they themselves would be in danger.

At this time, the twenty or so black-clothed men in front of him suddenly stopped, and said to the woman in charge: "Please go quickly, the holy woman, we will break off." ”

"No, I can't let you die here for me, I have to go together." The saint at the head exclaimed, her face excited.

But the black-clothed masked man insisted and shouted: "Holy Maiden, go quickly, otherwise none of us will be able to leave, and the news will be sent out quickly, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated." ”

Another man in black hurriedly said: "Holy Maiden, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Mo family, and it is our mission to protect you, otherwise even if we die, we will not feel at ease." ”

"I'm good, take care." The saint was not a drag on the mud and water, and with a fierce grit of her teeth, she immediately turned and galloped to the woods ahead, where her horses were located.

"Stop them and protect the Holy Maiden!"

More than two dozen men in black launched their own attacks in the face of hundreds of cavalry, defending their faith with blood.

"Flutter" The cavalry sword on the horse swung down fiercely, like a bronze lightning flashing in the sky, and the next moment blood shot out, and the human head flew up.

There is no doubt that the two dozen or so masked men, despite their high martial arts, could only be slaughtered in the face of the equally powerful hundred cavalry.

However, it was their obstruction that bought the Holy Maiden time to escape, and by the time the cavalry pursued the Holy Maiden again, the Holy Maiden had already burrowed into the woods and rode away.

"Don't let her run, chase!" Hundreds of cavalry pursued after him.

The saint is Zhao Ling, after entering Xianyang to finish the affairs of the Mo family, she used the relationship of the Mo family to start investigating Zhao Gao, wanting to find out Zhao Sheng's tablet for Zhao Jun, but unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng's spirit card is missing, but here the village is heavily guarded, and she and her subordinates were seriously injured when retreating.

Riding and running all the way, Zhao Ling soon came to the west gate of Xianyang, her connections in Xianyang are not shallow, and she naturally has the qualifications to enter and exit Xianyang freely.

After Zhao Ling entered the city, he rode straight to Zhao Jun's house, and the hundred black-clothed cavalry who caught up behind saw Zhao Ling approaching the city gate from a distance, so they didn't dare to chase it, glared fiercely, turned their heads and rode back.

Only one of the leaders changed his costume and quietly entered the city.

Zhao Jun was discussing things with Tang Li and the others in the house at this time, and he couldn't find out Zhao Gao's secret for several days, and Zhao Jun was a little anxious.

"Captain Yudu, Miss Zhao Ling is back." At this time, suddenly Xiong Le said outside the door.

"Ling'er is back?" Zhao Jun was overjoyed and immediately went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Zhao Ling in black standing next to Xiong Le, but her face was pale, her steps were vain, and she still had blood on her body.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Jun asked in surprise.

Zhao Ling barely opened her mouth: "I" Suddenly she was dizzy again, and fell down before she finished speaking.

"Ling'er!" Zhao Jun immediately stretched out his hand to hug him, and then Zhao Ling fainted in his arms.

Zhao Jun hurriedly carried her to the bed in the house, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiong Le, go to the city to find a doctor." ”

After Xiong Le left, Yu Ziqi said: "Brother Zhao, I saw that Sister Ling'er looked anxious when she came, and it seemed that there was something urgent, so it would be better to find a way to wake her up first." ”

"I'm going to get some hot water." As soon as the baby spoke, he went to pour a bowl of hot water.

Zhao Jun took the water and fed it to Zhao Ling, and finally pinched her middle again.

Zhao Ling drank the hot water, woke up leisurely, and said anxiously when he saw Zhao Jun: "Brother, quickly take someone to Shuiyun Mountain, thirty miles west of the city, there is a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, where Zhao Gao's secret is, there is a lot of evidence related to his plots, Zhao Sheng's spiritual seat is also inside, but there are heavily guarded there, there are one or two hundred powerful people, you must be careful." ”

"What, in the west of the city?" Zhao Jun was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and at the same time, Tang Li and the others were also overjoyed, but they didn't expect that they hadn't found it for a few days, but Zhao Ling found it all at once.

Then I only heard Zhao Jun say to Guan Ying: "Brother Guan, you go to the north of the city to find Li You and them, and let them immediately take people to the location that my sister said, surround the courtyard and search inside and outside, and those who dare to resist will be killed, and you must personally watch Zhao Sheng's spiritual position and the things related to Zhao Gao." ”

The emperor has not rewarded the people who participated in the mission this time, so Li You and the others are still in the state of the task, so they can only stay in the Xianyang Post House, Zhao Jun believes that no matter how powerful the people in the courtyard are, they will not be the opponents of more than 200 elite opponents under his command, and they are only less than 200 people.

"Okay, I'll go." Guan Ying also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately took his sword and rode away.

Here, Tang Li said again: "Ah Jun, now you should inform the commander of the Wei Wei Army, as well as Feng Zheng of the Du Wei Army, and Wang Ben of the Lieutenant Army, and ask them to send troops to help immediately." ”

Zhao Jun was stunned, do you still need them? Then I understood Tang Li's intentions, punishing Zhao Gao is a major event in the court, it is foreseeable that once Zhao Gao's identity is revealed, it will definitely be an event that makes the first emperor angry and shocks the world.

"Tang Li, you have been an official in Xianyang, you go and inform them with my token, among the three of them, Meng Yi and Wang Ben have a deep relationship with me and will not refuse, the accident is in the jurisdiction of Feng Zheng on the outskirts of Xianyang, so he will not ignore it."

"Okay." Tang Li nodded after hearing this, took Zhao Jun's token and rode away.

At this time, Zhao Ling said weakly: "Brother, go and arrest Zhao Gao, if he knows that the matter is revealed and your soldiers and horses are gone, he is afraid that he will escape." ”

"But the injuries on your body" Zhao Jun naturally understood this truth, but Zhao Ling was still bleeding in three places, and he was a little worried.

"It's okay, I'll just bandage it myself later, it's all skin trauma." Zhao Ling shook his head and insisted.

After hearing this, Zhao Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you can stay here with peace of mind, and if you have something, call Wang Shan and a few people outside the door, they are all my henchmen." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ling smiled comfortingly at Zhao Jun, but the laughter tugged at the wound, making her brows furrow, and her face became more and more pale.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun felt a pain in his heart, and finally turned his head and said coldly: "Ziqi, go, follow me to take down Zhao Gao, the eunuch." ”

"Okay, haha, I'm good at catching eunuchs." Yu Ziqi took the sword and left with Zhao Jun.

When he walked to the door, Zhao Jun made arrangements for Wang Shan and a few people, and then rushed to Zhao Gao's mansion.

In Zhao Gao's mansion, Zhao Gao was pacing back and forth in the hall, and he had just received the news that the courtyard outside the city had been broken into by a man in black.

The courtyard outside the city can be said to be his command hub in Xianyang, he is from the Zhao royal family, and before the fall of the Zhao state, his father sent him, his mother and younger brother out of Handan, and left them considerable wealth and connections.

Zhao Gao took advantage of these, infiltrated the court of the Qin Dynasty, and formulated a plan to troubled the Qin Dynasty, although it was repeatedly destroyed by the Zhao army, but it did not affect the overall situation, and he also built two secret places in many counties in the world, cultivated dead soldiers, assassins, and established a strong intelligence network, even in the imperial court, there are many people attached to him, and in addition to the trust of the first emperor, it can be said that Zhao Gao's secret power is all over the world.

Later, after Zhao Cheng died, he let his son Zhao Fu and daughter Zhao Miao be in charge of the secret place, and he only did remote command through the village outside Xianyang City, doing some shady things.

For a long time, because of the reason that he was hidden in the city, his inconspicuous courtyard on the outskirts of Xianyang City was not discovered, and even some suspicions were secretly suppressed by him by his relationship, but he didn't expect that someone would break in today.

At first, Zhao Gao panicked and thought that Zhao Jun had discovered his secret, but later he heard that the leader was a woman, and she was also the holy daughter of the Mo family.

"The Mo family? I don't have any grudges against the Mo family. Zhao Gao paced back and forth and was puzzled, he instinctively raised a sense of crisis, but once he escaped, not only would the plan be ruined, but it was more likely that he would be hunted down by the Qin army for the rest of his life, and it was still unknown whether he could survive. If nothing happens in the end, isn't it just a self-confession?

Besides, Zhao Gao didn't think that the Mo family would endanger him, and since they came in masks, they should not be able to see the light.

"You go back at once, and order our men to evacuate with important things first." Zhao Gao finally said to the humanity who came to report the news, although it would not implicate himself, but it was better to be careful about this matter, and it was by being careful that Zhao Gao did not expose it all these years.

"No." When the visitor heard this, he immediately obeyed the order and left.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the courtyard.

"Let's go, come out with me." Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was from the Mo family.

However, when he walked into the courtyard, he was surprised, the patrol soldiers in the courtyard had all been knocked to the ground, and standing in the middle was Zhao Jun, who had a murderous face, and a young man with two mustaches behind him, who looked a little bohemian, but he didn't know him.

"Zhao Gao, is your time of death?" Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Gaodao coldly, murderous and awe-inspiring, these patrol soldiers are just ordinary soldiers of the imperial court, who are the opponents of Zhao Jun and Yu Ziqi who take care of the homes of the imperial court officials.
