In a wing room in the back hall of the city government's mansion, Liu Wei, who had just changed into clean clothes, stood next to the cover in the house, and behind him stood Guan Qing with a long sword at his waist.

On the cover, lying quietly was Liu Er, who was sent back by more than a dozen tiger guards.

Liu Er's face was pale, and she had passed out due to excessive blood loss. But her breathing was even. Liu Er's skin is as white as snow, but her whiteness is slightly different from the white of women such as Diao Chan, she is a little sickly white, a little desolate white, lying on the cover, like a perfect statue from the hands of the master, smooth and flawless, but she can't feel the warmth that a woman should have.

Next to Liu'er's bed, there was still a person. The man was about forty years old, with a long black beard floating on his chin. He clenched his hands into fists and bowed slightly to face Liu Wei.

The most intuitive impression of this person is not his appearance, but his hands holding his fists.

It was a pair of snow-white and slender hands!

These hands should not belong to a man at all, especially not to a man who is not confused, and if it belongs to a woman, it must be extremely feminine and delicate.

"The girl's body is very weak!" The man standing beside Liu Bian, with a pair of slender palms, lowered his voice and said to Liu Bian: "Her meridians are disordered, she must have been sick for many years, I am afraid that even if Mr. Hua Tuo is here, it will be difficult to return to heaven!" ”

Looking down at Liu Er lying on the bed, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time before waving his hand at the man.

After saluting Liu Wei and Guan Qing respectively, the man withdrew from the premises.

"Your Highness!" When he retreated, Guan Qing, who was standing next to Liu Bian, turned his head to look at Liu Er lying on the bed, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and asked Liu Bian in a low voice: "I heard that General Deng said that this woman was the one who fought with him that day and robbed His Highness......

"She is of pure character, not a wicked person!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to finish speaking, Liu Wei took over her words and said softly: "If it weren't for her desperate help, I'm afraid this king would have been harmed by assassins at this time!" ”

"Ugh!" When Liu Wei said this, Guan Qing was stunned, his mouth moved, but he didn't continue to speak.

"Tell the wounded doctor, so that I can heal Miss Liu'er's wounds!" Looking down at Liu'er in a coma, Liu Wei was silent for a long time before he instructed the two maidservants standing in the corner of the room: "If Miss Liu'er wakes up, she must not be lazy, and she must take care of her." ”

"No!" The two maidservants responded softly, and Liu Wei led Guan Qing and turned around to leave the room.

He didn't see that the moment he turned around, Liu Er, who was unconscious, had two crystal tears gushing out of his eye sockets.

Tears rolled down her long, feminine eyeliner, down her temples, and on the sides of her cheeks, creating two small punctuated punctuations.

Leaving the room where Liu Er was placed, as soon as he left the door, Guan Qing whispered to Liu Wei and asked, "Your Highness, doesn't you want to cure this woman's crime?" ”

"Why do you punish crimes?" Liu Wei, who was walking in front, turned his head, smiled at Guan Qing, and said to her: "Miss Liu'er is used by others, although she has taken this king hostage, she has not been in trouble with the assassins, and it is precisely because of this that this king has picked up a life!" If she is punished, I am afraid that the people of the world will not be convinced! ”

Knowing that Liu Wei did not want to cure Liu'er's crime, Guan Qing didn't speak again, but just turned his head and glanced at the wing room behind him.

After a few days of recuperation, Guan Qing's injuries have mostly healed, although occasionally the wound will still ache faintly, but it is not as difficult to get up as before.

learned from Deng Zhan that the woman Liu Wei brought back was an assassin who almost killed Liu Wei, and Guan Qingzhi had the urge to rush into the wing room and stab Liu Er to death with a sword.

But since Liu Wei didn't mean that, Guan Qing couldn't make any claims. Fang asked Liu Wei repeatedly how to deal with Liu Er, that is, Guan Qing hoped that Liu Wei could relax.

Once Liu Wei showed an ambiguous attitude, Guan Qing would definitely rush into the wing room without hesitation and kill Liu Er in a coma with a sword.

What disappointed Guan Qing was Liu Wei's performance. When asked how to deal with Liu Er, Liu Bian's attitude did not hesitate, but told Guan Qing very decisively that Liu Er could not be killed!

In the meeting hall in the front yard of the government, Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were kneeling opposite each other in a triangular shape.

"What did Your Highness say, what do the two generals think?" Glancing at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun respectively, Deng Zhan's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes stayed on Zhang Liao's face, and asked the two: "The origin of the assassins in the city is complicated, can we find a way to catch all of them?" ”

"The number of our troops in the city is close to 10,000!" As soon as Deng Zhan's question was asked, Gao Shun frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and said, "If you talk about individual combat strength, the dragoon guard alone is already beyond the assassins. But the assassin is in the dark, we are waiting in the light, and we have repeatedly tried to kill him, but there is no trace of the assassin. It is already difficult to send troops to search, but His Highness wants me to wait and not move, I really don't know what it means! ”

"Your Highness has always acted unexpectedly!" Deng Zhan shook his head, furrowed his brows tightly, a blank appeared on his face, and said to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun: "His Royal Highness made such a decision this time, but he couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to be the last general!" ”

"If you're just waiting for the rabbit, you'll pay it back!" Zhang Liao, who had never expressed his position, also took over the conversation at this time, looked at Deng Zhan without blinking, and said to him: "Especially if the last general and General Gao continue to train their troops, they must not participate in this matter, and remove as much as half of the dragoon guards in the official mansion, which makes the last general feel uneasy!" ”

"And according to His Royal Highness's order......" Deng Zhan, who was also a little apprehensive in his heart, sighed lightly, waved his hand at Zhang Liao, and said to him: "The two generals just go back to the barracks, there is a certain here." If a certain force is not enough, then bother the two generals to come to help! ”

"Report!" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and as the footsteps stopped, a dragoon guard stood at the door, clenched his fists and said to the servants in the house: "General Qiyu, in a private house in the city, more than ten assassin corpses have been found. ”

"Hurry up and lead me there!" Hearing that more than a dozen assassin corpses had been found in the houses in the city, Deng Zhan stood up with a "pout" and gave an order to the dragoon guards standing at the door.

Without waiting for the dragoon guard to respond, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were kneeling opposite Deng Zhan, also stood up, followed Deng Zhan, and walked quickly towards the outside of the hall.

Out of the conference hall, Deng Zhan summoned dozens of dragoon guards, and together with the dozens of Yulin guards brought by Zhang Liao Gaoshun, they surrounded the servants and left the official mansion directly.

Walking briskly along the street, after passing through five or six streets, Deng Zhan and the others came to the street where the house where the assassin committed suicide.

"General Qiqi!" As soon as everyone was about to enter the alley, a dragoon guard officer ran out of the alley, and the officer came to Deng Zhan and the others, clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun: "I found more than a dozen assassin corpses in the house. In addition to the corpses of the assassins, the walls of the house were also hollowed out, and two corpses, a man and a woman, were pulled out of the walls! ”

Hearing that the body was also taken out from the wall, Deng Zhan frowned slightly, glanced at each other with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and then walked quickly towards the alley.

Outside the house where the bodies were found, two dragoon guards stood. Seeing Deng Zhan and the others coming, the two dragoon guards hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed to them.

Nodding to the two dragoons, Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun strode into the house. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Deng Zhan saw a group of dragoon guards searching for something back and forth in the courtyard.

When the dragoon guards in the courtyard saw Deng Zhan, they also stopped searching, clenched their fists, stood in the courtyard scattered, and saluted the servants.

"What are you looking for?" Looking around at the more than ten dragoons in the courtyard, Deng Zhan felt a faint uneasiness in his heart and asked them.

"Return to the general!" Hearing Deng Zhan's question, a dragoon officer who was leading a group of dragoons in the courtyard who was searching for something hurriedly responded: "I waited until I found two corpses, a man and a woman, in the wall, and then found the bodies of an old man and a child under the stove. I don't know if there is anything else, I'm looking for myself! ”

"What about the corpses?" Hearing that the bodies of an old man and a child had been found again, Deng Zhan's brows tightened, and he asked the dragoon officer.

"Still by the stove!" Taking a step back, the dragoon officer bowed with his fists in response.

Turning his head to look at the dragoon officer, Deng Zhan strode towards the stove room in the corner of the small courtyard. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun followed closely behind him and also walked quickly to the stove room. 、

As soon as they entered the stove room, they smelled a foul smell.

Almost at the same time, they raised their hands to cover their noses, and the servants looked around the small stove, and finally their eyes fell on the two corpses lying in front of the stove that had been opened.

The two bodies had not yet decomposed, but the stench they emitted could tell that they had been dead for at least seven or eight days.

"It's too early for the Assassins to enter the city!" Pinching his nose with one hand, Deng Zhan frowned, muttered a sentence in his mouth, strode to the corpse, and squatted down.

The two bodies lying on the ground were covered with thick dust. Although one of the corpses did not grow up as Deng Zhan and others, it was almost the same as the average height of ordinary men in the city, and it could be seen that it was an adult.

On the chin of this corpse, there was a long beard, although the beard was covered with dust, it could be seen that the beard was gray, and it was not a small age, no wonder the dragoon officer would say that the corpse was an old man.

The other corpse was much smaller. The small body is covered with a thick layer of dust. The corpse's skin was already purple, but it was still possible to see the immaturity of his life.

Seeing this small corpse, Deng Zhan's heart twitched violently, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Crazy!" ”

"What about the other two civilian corpses?" After inspecting the corpses on the ground, Deng Zhan stood up, walked out of the stove room with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and asked the dragoon guard officers waiting outside.

"Although we found it, we didn't dare to move it without permission, and it was still by the wall!" As soon as Deng Zhan came out of the stove room, the dragoon guard officer saw the anger on his face, he didn't dare to look at Deng Zhan directly, lowered his head and said to him with some trepidation: "Those two corpses are a hundred times worse than these two, the general ......."

"Man is dead! It makes no difference whether it is miserable or not! Turning his head to look at the dragoon officer, Deng Zhan waved his hand at him and said to him, "Give me the way!" ”
