Yuan Zai specially arranged a private room for Wang Yunxiu in Jingzhao Mansion, with all kinds of bronze mirrors and decorations, and a well-behaved maid. Although it is not as luxurious as the royal palace, it can finally meet the basic needs.

Wang Yunxiu didn't want to return home so disgraced, this arrangement was very intimate.

Wang Yunxiu washed her face and put her hair in a double bun again, but she hadn't put on blush and flower light yet. She saw Yuan Zai walk in in the bronze mirror, so she turned around and asked him which one of the flowers looked good.

Yuan Zai respectfully arched his hand: "Miss, the face of heaven and man, how can you put your beak underneath." Before Wang Yunxiu could answer, he spoke again: "I'm here to say goodbye." ”

Wang Yunxiu was stunned: "Farewell? ”

"Since Miss is safe and sound, she should continue to pursue the murderer, after all, Zhang Xiaojing has not been arrested."

As soon as he heard this name, Wang Yunxiu snorted coldly: "This traitor, you can't die if you catch it!" Yuan Zai said: "Naturally." It's just that this person is cunning and fierce, and it is extremely difficult to subdue, so I have come to say goodbye to the young lady first, so as not to regret rudeness. ”

He didn't say anything more, just smiled. Wang Yunxiu was a little confused when she heard it at first, and then finally reacted, Yuan Zai was afraid that he would die on the way to track down and never see himself again, so he came to say goodbye first. Thinking of the knife mark on this person's chest, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to keep it: "You're just leaving?" I...... Well, I haven't thanked you yet. ”

"Correcting the non-Kuang Shi is originally a duty under the next, why thank you?" Yuan Zai took a step back and saluted solemnly.

Wang Yunxiu said unhappily: "Why do I think you are avoiding me?" ”

"From a humble background, a mere Dali Temple commentator, how can it be compared to Gaomen."

Wang Yunxiu knew that Yuan Zai was ashamed of his bad background, so he couldn't help but say coldly: "Who dares to make irresponsible remarks, I asked my father to cut off their tongues!" ”

When Yuan Zai heard this, his face was calm, but his heart was finally settled. With this sentence, Wang Yunxiu's mind is fifty percent sure. Next, what he has to do is to stay away as much as possible and be as cold as possible, the more so, the more Wang Yunxiu chases after him. At that time, it will be a matter of course, and he will have the rank of advancement. This old man said, "If you want to go, you will fix it; He who will take what he desires will give it."

Compared to the other benefits tonight, this is the biggest and long-term benefit.

Yuan Zai was about to say a few more words, when suddenly there was a rumor outside the door saying that there was something important to repay. This transmission was used in the previous main hall of the Jing'an Division, and it also survived the fire. He has a big voice and doesn't seem to be very polite to his new boss. Yuan Zai frowned slightly, and said to Wang Yunxiu: "The military situation is urgent, let me leave first." The palace has sent someone to inform that it will come over with its own carriage and take the young lady back to the house. ”

Wang Yunxiu saw that he really couldn't keep it, so he asked Yuan Zai to leave a famous thorn, and then reluctantly watched him leave.

Leaving the private room, Won Jae asked the messenger why he was in such a hurry. Tong Chuan said in a hoarse voice that when they were cleaning the back garden of Jing'an Division, they found a fainting principal named Xu Bin.

"Oh, what's so special about him?"

Tong Chuan said in a rough voice: "Master Xu has an excellent memory and is the presiding officer of the big case. And...... Well, Zhang Duwei was recommended by him. ”

"Oh? Check it out. ”

When Yuan Zai heard this, he became interested.

They came to the hall behind Jingzhao Mansion, which was originally the location of the canteen, but now it has been temporarily converted into a place for treating the wounded. As soon as I entered, I heard * sound one after another, and a foul smell permeated. A group of doctors who were temporarily transferred were rushing to treat them.

Xu Bin's status is relatively high, so he occupies a corner of the hall. He was lying on a stretcher, his forehead was bruised. Yuan Zai walked over to ask about the situation, and the doctor said that Xu Bin was found in a bush in the back garden, with no burns, no knife wounds or crossbow wounds, but there were serious impact marks on his head, which should have been knocked unconscious when his head touched the floor tiles during wrestling.

Yuan Zai's eyes rolled: "He is a principal, why did he appear in the back garden?" Why is everyone else dead, but he is the only one who is unharmed? ”

None of the people around dared to answer and remained silent.

"Zhang Xiaojing was recommended by him, so it can be seen that he is also a traitor! He must have put the grasshopper in from the back garden. Won Jae felt that this inference was flawless, and today was really lucky, everything and everyone were just right in front of him.

Yuan Zai said with a straight face: "Send more guards, give me a careful look at this spy." Then he turned to the doctor and said, "Is he awake now?" The doctor said that Mr. Xu responded to the voice and could do simple conversations, but he was not fully conscious. Yuan Zai walked over, leaned over and shouted, "Master Xu? Director Xu? ”

"Hey......" Xu Bin made a weak voice, and tried to lift his eyelids a few times, but he still didn't open his eyes after all.

"Do you know where Zhang Xiaojing is?"

"Persian Temple."

"Do you know where the smell is?"

"Yasuyasu Division."

Xu Bin is worthy of being a genius of memory, even in a semi-comatose state, he can still answer clearly. But Wonjae was disappointed that these two answers were outdated and useless. But this really can't be blamed on Xu Bin, he fainted before the attack, and he didn't even know that the main hall was attacked.

Yuan Zai thought about it for a while, and asked the third question: "Is there any hidden place in Jing'an Division that is not known?" The kind that can be Tibetan. ”

Xu Bin was silent for a moment, Yuan Zai could feel that he knew something, but he hesitated to say it. Yuan Zai leaned over his ear and changed his tone to an extremely gentle tone: "This matter is related to the safety of Li Sicheng and Zhang Duwei. ”

Xu Bin finally spoke: "The grass house next to the Temple of Mercy has a wooden ladder to reach over the wall. ”

Yuan Zai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that he had fallen into a blind spot - who said that if you rush into Jing'an Division, you must stay in Jing'an Division? That man and Wen Ran must have crossed the wall again and hid in the Temple of Mercy.

He didn't quite understand why Jing'an Si had set up a site in the grass house of the Temple of Mercy, but that didn't prevent him from taking action immediately. Yuan Zai ordered Xu Bin to be taken care of, emphasizing that this was an important accomplice, and then left the hall and gathered a group of guards to go to the grass house of the Temple of Mercy.

Halfway through, Yuan Zai suddenly stopped, looked up at the big watchtower, and with a gloomy face, he divided half of the guards, and asked them to quickly climb upstairs and bring Yao Runeng down.

Sniffing escaped before, it must have been because of what tricks this stinky boy used to inform him. Even if he didn't, this person was not fit to stay in such an important facility as the Great Watchtower. Yuan Zai suddenly found that he was still too kind-hearted, and all those related to Zhang Xiaojing should be ruthlessly eliminated, whether they were wronged or not.

They knocked on the closed door of the Temple of Mercy, called a monk who knew the guest, and rushed straight towards the grass house. There was also a small group of men who walked along the wall between Jing'an Division and the Temple of Mercy to cut off possible evacuation routes.

The front quickly reported that there were indeed people moving in the grass house. Yuan Zai did not act rashly this time, he patiently waited for all the troops to be in place, surrounded the grass house so that there was no gap at all, and even the release pond in front of the grass house was watched, and then he ordered a strong attack.

Three soldiers with large shoulders and round waists rushed to the door of the grass hut with huge shields in their hands, and smashed open the thin wooden door at once. There was a woman's scream in the cottage, a man's angry rebuke, and then a chaotic shuffle of footsteps and struggles.

The capture was over in an instant. Yuan Zai was satisfied to see that Cen Shen and Wen Ran were each twisted by the arms of two soldiers and escorted out of the cottage. He walked over and looked at the young girl curiously.

She has a small and delicate face, but her eyes are large, her lips are slightly upturned, she looks very stubborn, she is a beautiful embryo - no wonder King Yong is tempted. However, she looked very haggard, and it is estimated that she has been tossed enough for half a day.

Speaking of which, this girl is still his benefactor. If it weren't for Feng Dalun's intention to kidnap Wen Ran, how could there be a series of events that would have made him step on the green clouds step by step?

Yuan Zai suddenly had a bad taste, and he walked up to Wen Ran: "Miss Wen, I am entrusted by someone to send you back." ”

Wen Ran raised his head, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Is it Engong?" ”

Yuan Zai laughed: "That's right. He is dead, and before he died, he entrusted you to the eternal king. ”

He watched with interest, and her face faded from ruddy to pale, and then from pale to ashes, and the whole person seemed to have been stripped of bones, and the soldiers did not grasp her arm, and she collapsed directly on the floor.

"It turns out that a person who has completely lost hope will react like this." Yuan Zai was surprised, and before he could show his second thought, Wen Ran suddenly got up and slammed into his lower abdomen, like an angry deer.

Yuan Zai was caught off guard, his body fell backwards, and he fell into the release pond with a bang, and Wen Ran also fell in.

It was early spring, and the water in the release pond was not deep, and it was covered with only a thin layer of ice, which was smashed by the two men. At first, Yuan Jae stretched his hands and feet in the icy water in a panic, and soon his feet reached the bottom of the water, and his heart was slightly settled. But at this moment, Wen Ran quickly approached him, picked up a sharp piece of crushed ice, and laid it across his throat.

There was chaos at the scene, and the soldiers hurried down to save people, but they didn't dare to approach when they saw the threat.

This time it was Wonjae's turn to turn white, and the sharp and cold ice cubes clung to his skin, making death incomparably clearer. His lips twitched involuntarily, how could this be? How can this be? Everything is so perfect today, how can you die because of such a small mistake?

Smelling the dye half soaked in the ice water, he shouted to the surroundings: "You all retreat!" Yuan Zai also hurriedly shouted: "Quick, listen to her." ”

The soldiers had no choice but to retreat. Then Wen Ran used crushed ice to hold Yuan Zai, walked out of the release pond, and asked them to release Cen Shen as well. At the urging of Won Jae, the soldiers had no choice but to do what they said.

Cen Shen walked over, glanced at Yuan Zai deeply, and shook his head: "If you don't play with people's hearts, you will already win." Won Jae was silent.

Wen Ran coerced Yuan Zai and walked towards the outside of the Temple of Compassion step by step. The soldiers followed, but were at a loss. Yuan Zai said: "It's all our people outside, you can't escape." If you put down the knife, girl, I can help you and your father-in-law clear their grievances. ”

"Shut up!"

Wen Ran ignored him, and suddenly turned his head to Cen Shen and said, "Cen Gongzi, let's go, these things have nothing to do with you." Cen Shen was stunned: "Are you left alone here?" How's that going to work? ”

"Childe has done his duty, you are the one who will be an official in the future, don't be dragged down by me." Wen Ran squeezed the crushed ice tightly, his face sad but resolute.

Cen Shen still insisted, but he suddenly noticed that the palm of Wenran's hand holding the broken ice was quietly dripping with water. He reacted suddenly, the sniffed broken ice would not last long before it would melt on its own, and at that time, I was afraid that neither of the two would be able to escape.

Cen Shen gritted his teeth: "If you have anything else to entrust, I, Cen Shen, will definitely do it." Wen Ran smiled bitterly: "Help me put away the signboard of Wen Ji Xiangpu, and burn it together with the Engong tablet inside, it's enough." I only hope that what the monk said is true, and after death, there is really that Elysium for good people to go to. ”

Cen Shen listened to it in his ears, with mixed feelings, and a series of exquisite poems soaked with depression and feelings were about to come out. But he couldn't say a word, so he had to solemnly clench his fists, and then turn away.

Although the soldiers wanted to intercept it, Wonjae was still in her hands, so they didn't dare to move. Wen Ran waited until Cen Shen's figure disappeared at the gate of the Temple of Mercy, then let out a long sigh, threw away the ice blade that had been reduced to a small piece, and sat down on the ground.

Yuan Zai, who had escaped death, quickly ran away more than a dozen paces, and then ordered the soldiers to catch Wen Ran to death. Only then did he realize that his heart was soaked in cold sweat, and now he felt cold when the wind blew.

Yuan Zai angrily lifted his front placket, wiped the water stains on his face, and showed a fierce light in his eyes.

For people like Wonjae, near-death is an extremely painful experience. That Cen ginseng didn't matter, this smell almost left an irreparable flaw on this perfect night, and it was absolutely intolerable.

They escorted Wen Ran out of the Temple of Compassion and walked towards Jingzhao Mansion. This time there was no chance of escaping, and four soldiers held her firmly, and there were four others outside who could be stabbed at any time. Yuan Zai stood far away to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

This procession of enemies soon arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, just in time for a tall and gorgeous carriage to set off from the gate. The carriage passed by the procession, and suddenly a surprised face poked out of the carriage.

"Meta-commentary."

Yuan Zai saw that it was Wang Yunxiu, and it turned out that the carriage of the palace had arrived and was about to take her home. He smiled, and before he could speak, Wang Yunxiu shouted in surprise: "Smell the dye? Are you alive too? ”

Wen Ran, who was escorted, raised his head suddenly, and finally cried out "wow":

"Sister Wang!"

Won Jae's smile froze on his face.

Tan Qi stood under the fire tree in front of Xingqing Palace, calmly looking at the end of the street.

This area is the most lively place in Chang'an City. Not only are there the largest and most gorgeous group of lampstands and the most talented artists in Chang'an, but also after the fourth watch, the Son of Heaven will personally ascend the government affairs building here, have fun with the people, and select the final winner from dozens of lantern pulling teams. There are less than two hours left, and the people have gathered to crowd the place.

But all this noise around her has nothing to do with her.

In the distance, at the end of the street, six knights in golden armor appeared first, then eight attendants holding vermilion lacquer fans and peacock barrier fans, and then a luxurious four-looking chariot drove over under the traction of four jujube red horses, followed by more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards on the left and right.

This guard of honor has been streamlined to the extreme, but in the face of this boundless crowd, it still seems bloated and huge. The whole team had to speed up to the slowest speed, driving away the people in front of them little by little, and heading towards Xingqing Palace.

Tan Qi took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the guard of honor at a very fast speed, regardless of the guards around him, he drew his sword, grabbed the wheel of the Siwang car with both hands, and shouted hoarsely:

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Jing'an is in trouble! ”

There is a barren abandoned temple in Pingkangfang, called Guan Zhong Temple, I don't know what year it was built, and what year it was abandoned. It is said that Guan Zhong is the ancestor of the Qinglou industry, and it is not surprising that his temple appears here. Next door to this ruined shrine is the bookstore that guards Lang.

More than 20 guards stood next to the broken incense burner in front of the temple, all with fierce faces and weapons in their hands. In the center of them is the team. They did not raise a fire, but stood quietly in the darkness. After a while, there was a creaking sound on the trail in the distance, and the wheels rolled over the broken dirt pavement. Many guards subconsciously raised their weapons, but the team remained silent.

The ox cart slowly drove to the front of the temple, and the coachman retracted the reins and fixed the body. Ge Lao and Zhang Xiaojing got out of the car, the former was old and weak, and the latter was not recovered.

The team was looking around, and it seemed that there was no one behind the ox cart, and said, "Old Ge, what are you looking for me?" ”

Ge Lao shook his head: "I don't have anything to say to you, it's this friend who wants to find you." Then he dodged out of the way, and Zhang Xiaojing jumped out of the car from behind. His face was still pale, and his steps were a little vain from his injuries.

As soon as he appeared, there was an immediate commotion. Many of the guards brandished their weapons, eager to pounce on them immediately. The team was quieting them down, then glaring at this side:

"Zhang Yanluo? Do you still dare to show your face? ”

The team was calling out the nickname, apparently having checked his details as well. Zhang Xiaojing took a step forward, not afraid at all: "There are other people who kill the fire master." The team sneered, not believing it at all. Zhang Xiaojing said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask everyone in the blacksmith shop next door, is it that before me, there was also a person who went in, but never came out?" ”

Seeing that he said it categorically, the team summoned a few people and asked in a low voice, looked up and said, "You said well, but it doesn't mean that you didn't kill him." ”

"I don't have a reason to kill a fireman. I am the commander of Jing'an Sidu, and I am here only to inquire about one thing: who is the one who entrusted Shou Zhu Lang to assassinate an elder in the Persian Temple? ”

The team is sneering and laughing: "Captain Jing'an? Your wanted notices are all over the city, and even if I don't arrest you, you won't have anywhere to go. ”

"That's none of your business. Who was the one who commissioned Shou Lang to assassinate an elder in the Persian Temple? ”

"Why am I telling you?"

"Because this matter is related to the safety of Chang'an City! The Persian temple elder Pusha is suspected of a grand conspiracy to destroy Chang'an. If you refuse to cooperate, you are acting as an enemy of the tiger and the court. Zhang Xiaojing narrowed his eyes, and his tone became dangerous.

"You are a fugitive, what qualifies you to be alarmist?!"

The team was furious, stretched out his hand, and suddenly grabbed Zhang Xiaojing. Zhang Xiaojing didn't dodge, he was pressed next to the incense burner all of a sudden, and his face was on the uneven copper ornament of the incense burner, and he felt pain for a while.

Ge Lao was indifferent, he only promised to bring Zhang Xiaojing to see the guard, but did not promise to protect his life.

The team was grabbing Zhang Xiaojing's hair, and hit him a few times, causing blood to flow from the corner of his forehead. Zhang Xiaojing didn't resist either, and when the team stopped, he continued in a calm and terrifying tone: "Do you know the explosion in the afternoon in Xishi? ”

The team was stunned for a moment, and his hand couldn't help but loosen up. He didn't witness the explosion, but he sent someone to inquire. It's a pity that the blockade was too tight, and I didn't find out anything.

Zhang Xiaojing straightened up and leaned against the incense burner, grinning: "There are dozens of explosions like this in Chang'an, and the only clue is Elder Pusha. You assassinated the elders, then this black cauldron is your back. ”

Half of his face was covered with incense burner prints, and half of his face was dripping with blood, looking like a demon crawling out of hell, hideous and terrifying.

The team was frowning, there was no evidence for what this person said, but he couldn't take it lightly. The survival of Shou Lang until now does not depend on force and ferocity, but on prudence.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "Originally, I had persuaded the assassin Liu XVII to take us to you, but the convoy was intercepted halfway, and Liu XVII died on the spot. This shows that the other party intends to cut off the clue and make the catcher the end of the line. The government can only trace it back to you. ”

The team also heard about it. The intersection where the accident occurred was not far from Pingkangfang, and in addition to Liu XVII, several officers were affected.

"So, let me ask you again, who is the one who entrusted Shou Lang to assassinate an elder in the Persian Temple?"

The team replied stiffly, "I don't know." The customer has always been in a one-line relationship with the fire master, and only the fire master knows what the client looks like. ”

"Isn't there any other record?"

There was a long silence, and then the team reluctantly replied, "The fire master will keep a secret account book in case of accidents. But only me and the fire master know where this account book is kept. ”

No wonder he hesitated before he spoke. If the customer knew that the catcher was secretly storing their information, they would not trust them so much.

Zhang Xiaojing said: "I want to see this account book." ”

"Why?" The team is displeased.

Zhang Xiaojing pointed at Ge Lao: "I originally had a good opportunity to leave Chang'an City and stay away from your pursuit, but I came back to find you - do you know why?" Because this matter is so big, that I can't even think about personal gains and losses. ”

Ge Lao nodded, indicating that what he said was true, and then pursed his lips again, indicating disdain for his choice.

"The same is true for you. This matter is too big, and it is beyond your so-called grievances and rules. Zhang Xiaojing said, "Give the account book or not, whatever you want." It's just a matter of being mentally prepared to take responsibility for your choices. ”

The team consulted with a few people around him in a low voice, and said, "You can see the account book, but it must be under our control, and you can only see the part we designated." ”

Zhang Xiaojing agreed without hesitation.

The team called two people, tied up Zhang Xiaojing, and walked towards the bookstore. Ge Lao and most of the other guards waited at the entrance of the alley, not allowed to approach. When they arrived at the door of the bookstore, the team was signaling Zhang Xiaojing to wait at the door and enter the house by himself. After a while, he came out with a scroll of ochre.

The small size and unremarkable nature of this scroll make it a good place to write a secret book.

The team was holding the scroll in their hands, and was about to untie the silk tied on the outside of the scroll, when they suddenly felt the sound of the wind above them. As soon as he looked up, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and between the lightning and the fire, the scroll had changed hands.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojing let out a loud shout, broke the rope on his body, and threw himself towards the black shadow. It turned out that this rope was originally a false buckle, and it was opened with a light tug. The black shadow didn't expect this, and his body quickly retreated, but was blocked by the rammed earth wall of the bookstore.

The black shadow was in a hurry, grabbed the scroll with one hand, kicked it on the uneven surface of the rammed earth wall, and with the help of that row of small pits, he was able to avoid Zhang Xiaojing's pounce, and he was about to jump onto the wall.

At this time, several shouts were heard, and three or four fishing nets were raised high from the left and right. No matter how fast the black shadow is, it can't escape this overwhelming shroud, and it first jumps up with a fishing net, and then is dragged back to the ground by the guard, and falls heavily to the ground.

Zhang Xiaojing walked up to the black shadow and kicked the scroll away from his hand. The scroll was kicked and scattered, and the paper inside was blank, and there was not a word.

"Shou Lang puts integrity first, how can he secretly keep a customer's small account? If you have the slightest trust in them, you won't be able to make this game. Zhang Xiaojing mocked.

It turned out that all of this was a game set up by them.

This black shadow first killed the fire master and then Liu Qiqi, and his mission must be to cut off all possible clues for the organization. But this guy is too fast to catch up, so he can only wait for him to throw himself into the net.

Therefore, under the mediation of Ge Lao, the suspicious team is co-acting with Zhang Xiaojing in a play, and it is calculated that the black shadow will definitely lurk nearby, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

They pretended to be a secret ledger with clues to the client. In this way, the black shadow must be forced to leave before Zhang Xiaojing gets it. With his cunning, he didn't expect that Shou Lang and Zhang Xiaojing, who were originally enemies, would join forces to prepare a big trap waiting for him.

Lanterns lit up all around, illuminating the dark shadow. This person's face still looks like an old man, and a close-fitting linen coat can't cover his well-proportioned and robust figure. He lay in the fishing net, like a fish that had been ashore for a long time, motionless.

The team was walking over, holding a hammer in hand, and his eyes were shining sharply: "This is the killer who killed the fire master?" ”

"Not bad."

The team stretched out his leg and kicked it, but the black shadow didn't react. He increased the strength of his feet and kicked again and again. Zhang Xiaojing said lightly: "Don't kill him, I still have something to ask him." The team is raising the sledgehammer high: "Question, just leave a mouth is enough, right?" Then he slammed into the shadow's knee. Unexpectedly, the black shadow suddenly shrugged in the fishing net, and the whole body shifted a little distance, dodging the blow in time.

"Dying and throeping." The team sneered and spun the hammer again, ready to strike a second blow.

But at this moment, the guard outside the mouth of the alley hurriedly ran in and shouted loudly that a large number of Wuhou had gathered over.

"Huh? How did they come? Who reported to the official? The team was frowning and looked at Ge Lao, who spread his hands and said that he was innocent. Zhang Xiaojing's gaze swept to the fishing net, he knew who did it.

This killer has never been a simple killer, he will use all the environment for his own use. As soon as Zhang Xiaojing arrived at the bookstore, this guy used a series of ingenious means to make the Shou Lang have a misunderstanding with Zhang Xiaojing, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

This time, he repeated the old trick again, reported to the official in advance and said that Zhang Xiaojing was hiding in the bookstore, and then he made another move. In this way, whether he succeeds or not, the swarming Wuhou can disrupt the situation.

It's not just Zhang Xiaojing who plans to decide.

The team put away the hammer and ordered the fishing nets to be tightened left and right: "This person, we must take it away." Zhang Xiaojing sank his face: "Didn't we say okay?" When I ask what you want, you can do whatever you want. ”

The team pointed to the mouth of the alley: "You can solve the outside matter first, the guard will not provide shelter for a wanted criminal." Zhang Xiaojing sneered: "What kindness must be repaid and debts must be repaid, it turns out that I can only listen to the second half." The team looked slightly embarrassed, but in the end they just waved their hands: "If you can escape the pursuit, it's not too late to come to us again." ”

The enemy who guards the capture must be dealt with by the guarding and catching the lang, and this is a matter of face. But they didn't want to provoke the government.

He was afraid that Zhang Xiaojing would come to entangle him again, so he forcibly blocked his body in front of him and urged his subordinates to arrest the assassin away. Zhang Xiaojing said hurriedly when he saw it: "Knock off your legs first!" ”

But he was too late, and some of the catchers had already lifted their nets and leaned down to press the shadow's limbs. According to their ideas, four people are foolproof against one limb. But at the moment when the fishing net was lifted, a stream of green juice suddenly shook out from the cuffs of the black shadow.

The four of them were caught off guard by the juice spraying on their bodies, and they all screamed in unison, and their movements were sluggish. The Black Shadow took the opportunity to jump on the spot, leaping towards the wall as it continued to throw green liquid around.

Zhang Xiaojing reacted quickly, reached out to pull his trousers, the green liquid was stained on his skin, and there was a hot pain. The black shadow was dragged by this, and his body paused slightly, and the team was wielding a sledgehammer and smashed it over. The black shadow did not dodge or dodge, and raised his left arm to meet it. The sledgehammer smashed on the arm, and the arm broke with a click, but the black shadow used the price of this arm to win a chance, and flicked his left hand a few times, and the green liquid flew into the eyes of the team.

The team was roaring in pain, throwing the sledgehammer away, rubbing their eyes desperately. The black shadow took advantage of the momentary gap to rise from the ground and leap back onto the wall.

This series of changes is long, but it is only in a moment. The black shadow is really ruthless, and in order to gain a first opportunity, he even gave up one of his arms. As soon as he jumped on the wall and looked back at Zhang Xiaojing, a hoarse voice like the wind blowing through the rubble came: "Zhang Xiaojing, my fish intestines will definitely take your life." ”

After saying that, he shook his body and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't care about the team that was lying on the ground and rolling, he put the green liquid on his sleeve in front of his nose and smelled it, and he could tell that it was green alum oil, which was the material of Daomen alchemy. This thing has a tiger nature, and it can quickly erode when it touches paper, wood, and skin. Many Assassins would hide a sleeve pouch in the cuff, filled with alum oil, which could work wonders in times of crisis.

"What is the origin of this guy who calls himself fish intestines......" Zhang Xiaojing was secretly frightened, and the melancholy on his face was so thick that it was beyond measure.

He had done his best to desperately grab a glimmer of hope in such a difficult situation, but in the end, he still let the fish intestines escape. The fish intestine will not be fooled again, and the last clue will be cut off.

As soon as hope is cut off, endless pressure swells in from all directions. With Zhang Xiaojing's perseverance, he was finally exhausted. He began to suspect that perhaps God would have done so, just like the battle last year, and what if he tried his best, fighting alone could not reverse the overall situation after all, nor could he save the lives of his comrades. One person can't stand up to an organization.

What's more, now he is being attacked by the two behemoths of the Tang Dynasty and Que Lehodo.

All the efforts are useless from the moment they are paid. Ge Lao's words are circulating in his consciousness over and over again like a demon in his heart - do you miss Datang, does Datang miss you?

Zhang Xiaojing barely opened his one eye, and the vision in front of him had begun to blur. The warriors hurried into the alley, brandishing chains and iron rulers, and were about to catch turtles in an urn against him. The guards supported the injured team, and all of them retreated, and Ge Lao had quietly left. None of them will come to their rescue.

A real desperate situation, both inside and out.

"You can, I'm sorry, I can't keep my promise not to return." Zhang Xiaojing hung his shoulders dejectedly, leaned his back against the earthen wall, and aged a lot in an instant.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and he hurriedly raised his head, and the black shadow once again swooped down from the eaves not far away, flying towards this direction. Zhang Xiaojing didn't expect this guy to go and return, and habitually elbowed back. Unexpectedly, the black shadow didn't guard against it at all, and was hit in the nose by an elbow, and fell to the ground with an oops.

When Zhang Xiaojing heard that the voice was wrong, he looked at it, but it was Is, who had been missing for a long time. This guy hasn't been seen since he got separated on Suzaku Street, Zhang Xiaojing thought he was dumped, but he didn't expect to appear here. The pair of Persian cat-like eyes were full of sour tears.

"How do you ......"

"Mo Duoyan, keep up with me!" Without further explanation, Isis turned and crawled towards the wall.

Zhang Xiaojing found that the pits, rafters, tile edges, and cracks under the eaves of the wall seemed to be chaotic, but at the foot of Yisi, they were like an invisible staircase. As long as you follow a certain order and rhythm, you can easily climb it. He did the same, and sure enough, it didn't take much effort to climb the wall.

Yisi took Zhang Xiaojing to cross the beam for a while, and turned the eaves for a while, showing ingenious steps between many houses, flying the eaves and walking on the wall, as if walking on the ground. In a few moments, they shook off their pursuers and jumped into a secluded courtyard where no one was around.

Before Zhang Xiaojing could ask, Iss said to himself.

It turned out that he was not separated on Suzaku Street, but had the heart to win, and wanted to make meritorious contributions to Zhang Xiaojing one step ahead. So Isis used the art of running the cave and first turned into Pingkangli. Unexpectedly, although he was good, he couldn't distinguish the direction, and he was confused, so he strayed into a green building and delayed for a long time. When he got rid of the entanglement and returned to the street, he happened to witness the fish intestine attacking the carriage where Liu XVII was being held.

Isis was shocked and hurriedly quietly embellished. He relied on the skill of running the hole, but he never lost it, and he was not found, so he followed the fish intestines to the bookstore at the end of the alley.

The subsequent ups and downs made Iss unable to react at once. When he saw the fish intestines running away, he wanted to chase them, but when he saw that Zhang Xiaojing was about to be captured by Wuhou, the two sides had to choose one side, and in the end, Yisi gritted his teeth and chose to save Zhang Xiaojing first.

"What a pity! What a pity! Iss scratched his head regretfully.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "You have been with him for so long, has there been any clues about his identity?" ——

Speak human words! ”

"Uh...... This guy must be from the Western Regions, at least he has been in the Western Regions for a while, and his kung fu and strength are in the middle of the best. Isis said modestly.

"And what about his whereabouts? Is there a hideout? ”

"No, he's been wandering around the rooftops of Pingkangfang, dexterous as a cat. But I got a glimpse below...... "Iss pulled out of his bosom and pulled out a gadget.

It was half a piece of bamboo, the size of a fingernail, shaped like an octagonal piece.

Isis said that in order to facilitate the leap, the fish intestines wore a pair of special fishbone shoes on their feet, and the soles had many ridges, like fish bones. This half piece of bamboo is embedded just between the ridges. Is's sharp-eyed eyes and during the tracking, he noticed that a piece of fish intestine had fallen from the sole of his shoe when he was jumping on a roof, so he picked it up.

"I told you earlier, in Chang'an City, there is nothing that can hide my eyes."

Zhang Xiaojing picked up the bamboo piece and examined it carefully, but didn't see why. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart just now, but it turned out to be an illusion again. He shook his head and said to Iss, "Thank you, but we can't stop Que Lehodo, you better go back to the temple as soon as possible and inform the monks to take refuge in the city as soon as possible." ”

Isis was shocked: "Isn't this a clue?" ”

"What does a piece of bamboo that can be seen everywhere mean?" Zhang Xiaojing replied happily.

Isis leaned his face closer, not very happy: "Everywhere? Are you doubting my eyesight? Do I deliberately pick up the bamboo chips that can be found everywhere? You see, this octagonal shape should have been carefully cut, and there is a groove in the middle. This is not everywhere in Chang'an......"

Listening to Yisi's words, Zhang Xiaojing's originally depressed expression seemed to be injected with a trace of vitality.

He is right, this way of cutting bamboo chips is too rare - not that it can't be cut, but it's not economical. Its knife skills are so meticulous that no one would spend so much effort on a small piece of bamboo that is not worth much, unless it belongs to a larger piece.

Zhang Xiaojing's eyes gradually became serious, and he suddenly remembered something.

After the explosion in Changmingfang, the Jing'an Division collected a large number of fragments at the scene and brought them back for study. He once looked at it carefully and found Cao Poyan's necklace. Looking back now, there seems to be a lot of broken bamboo in the fragments, and Xu Bin once complained about piercing his hands.

But at that time, he only had a cursory glance, and he didn't remember the specific details, and he didn't know if those broken bamboos had anything to do with the bamboo pieces in his hand. Zhang Xiaojing thought to himself that if he wanted to figure it out, he would have to go back to Jing'an Division to make it - but that evidence should have been burned, right?

Thinking of this, he was disappointed and tired again. At this time, Yisi suddenly grabbed Zhang Xiaojing's hand, stuffed the cross on his chest into his hand, and said eagerly: "Captain Zhang, the Taoist heart is strong, and it is too early to give up." You see, I'm not discouraged. ”

Those jewel-like eyes seemed to have an innocent power. Zhang Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh, and his spirit perked up a little: "This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you so concerned?" ”

Isis Zhengse said: "Whether the Persian Temple can be named Jing or not, it is all in the hands of the captain, and it is natural to go all out." ”

Zhang Xiaojing smiled bitterly: "It's difficult for me to protect myself now, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Isis said, "I teach perseverance in prayer, joy in hope, and perseverance in suffering, and you will reap something." Zhang Duwei, you have a very different temperament from others, and you can be rewarded together, you are going to achieve great things, and you must be a noble person I teach. ”

Zhang Xiaojing said: "If you say that it is for the sake of wealth and fame, it will be fine." Just a name, is it really worth the risk? ”

"Yes. If the name is not right, it is not good. Isis replied with great seriousness, as if there was nothing more important in the world. Seeing that Zhang Xiaojing was not very convinced, he pointed to his eyes: "Do you know that my beautiful eyes come from?" ”

"Persia?"

"Only the orthodox Persian royal family has such clear glass and blue eyes." Isis was quite proud, and then sighed again, "It's a pity that when Taizong and Gaozong were persecuted, Persia was overthrown. The first king Belus migrated to the Tang Dynasty, worshiped the general of the right Weiwei, and the heirs of the royal family were scattered in the cities of the Western Regions. I was born a lost country, and I was disregarded, and if I hadn't met my lord, I was afraid that the corpse would have been lost in the desert. ”

Zhang Xiaojing said "um", no wonder he sometimes called himself a prince of Persia, and thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Isis suddenly raised his head and drew a cross on his chest: "My life experience has witnessed the impermanence of the world, the rise and fall of the cycle. No amount of power and wealth can last long, only serving God is the way of eternity. Justifying its name is the sustenance of my life, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! ”

His eyes were shining, and Zhang Xiaojing found that he couldn't refuse at all, so he had to say helplessly:

"Okay, okay. I tried to go back to Jing'an Division to see what was going on with this bamboo piece - a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

As soon as his words fell, the watchtowers on all sides began to flicker at the same time, and they continued. Zhang Xiaojing frowned, raised his eyes, and found that this was the most urgent communication situation, and the same text would be transmitted repeatedly until the next command entered. He quickly deciphered this text, which came from the Great Lookout, and only four words kept repeating:

"Don't come back, don't come back, don't come back."
