Zhang Wen probed, only to see that the cold arrows continued to shoot in, shooting all the innocent people who came to visit in a pool of blood, and it was Mingjiao again! Zhang Wen gritted his teeth in annoyance and shouted to the guests outside the door, "The assassin is from the north gate!" Everyone, face the north and hide! "The crowd ran and died, screaming and screaming, and there was confusion.

Zhang Mo was originally a scholar, but now when he saw the scene so bloody, he couldn't help but turn pale, "I...... I have no grievances with that Mingjiao, and I have never been masked, so why should they harm me! "City Lord Zhang, there is no need for a reason to kill people in a chaotic party!" Zhang Wen snorted coldly, "In the eyes of the Ming Sect and the chaotic party, doing anything is a righteous move!" To rebel is to betray the party! It's like a beast! ”

It was impossible for Zhang Wen to see the guests outside the door and not save them, the nine-ring knife was held in his hand, Zhang Wen told Ye Sheng and Zhang Mo to stay here, and then rushed out alone! Worried looking at Zhang Wen's figure of blocking the cold arrow with a knife to cover the escape of the guests, Ye Sheng looked stunned, why! Why is Zhai Zhi's example different from what he said in the secret letter!

Zhai Zhituo's six door servants Yu Chao handed him a letter saying that he did it after the banquet, but now he released arrows to kill people in advance. This is too fast, isn't it? Could it be that Zhai Zhi deliberately fooled himself into coming, just to kill two birds with one stone and kill himself together?

"Zhang Wen! Stop it! There was a cheer from outside the door of Zhang's mansion, the cold arrow stopped, Zhang Wen stood with a knife in his hand, turned his head to look, and saw a black-clothed masked man stepping over the threshold, staring directly at Zhang Wen and saying, "Do you still want to spare their lives?" The man in black staggered out of the five people, all of whom were guests at the banquet just now. It's just that they don't have any joy at the moment, because they are all taken hostage. The taste of the knife on the neck is cold and chilling.

Looking at the ordinary people who were kidnapped, Zhang Wen stared at the black-clothed masked man with envy and hatred, "What do you want!" "My Mingjiao has always been assassinating you, you have always known!" The masked man laughed twice, and Ye Sheng, who was hiding behind the wall inside the house, was thoughtful and could distinguish that it was Zhai Zhi's voice.

"You are a brave and warlike martial artist, but it's a pity that you are not used by us!" Zhai Zhi sighed and shook his head, and said, "At today's banquet, we have captured more than a dozen hostages in the City Lord's Mansion, if you don't want them to die, then, tomorrow afternoon, you will come to see us alone!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Wen cares about the common people, and is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others, "Where to meet!" "Someone will let you know tomorrow!" Zhai Zhi smiled coldly and waved his hand, so all the Ming Sect disciples retreated and left! Zhang Wen looked down and saw a river of blood, and the floor was full of desolate fallen items and bright red bloodstains. The blood has not dried up, and Zhang Wen's anger has not disappeared. Mingjiao kills people like hemp, does many evils, and really deserves to die!

Ye Sheng was in a complicated mood, and hurriedly rushed up to hold Zhang Wen's arm and said, "Brother Zhang! Mingjiao's move is undoubtedly to invite you into the urn! I'm afraid you're going to die because of it! "So what! The people of Futian are in their hands, and I can't do anything! Zhang Wen's face is fearless, affectionate and righteous, "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountain!" ”

Ye Sheng sighed, looking at Zhang Wen's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, he was speechless with admiration. The City Lord's Mansion ended in embarrassment after this riot. Zhang Wen was still staying in the City Lord's Mansion, while Ye Sheng returned to the Six Gates early, because he knew that he still had to meet guests! Sure enough, not long after returning to the dormitory, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Sheng didn't have any surprises, "Come in!" Pushing the door in, it was Mingjiao who stayed in the six doors Ying Yu Chao, tall and thin, with obscene eyes, he smiled and walked up with a fist and saluted, "I've seen Lord Liu!" "What do you need my help with tomorrow?"

Hearing Ye Sheng's question, Yu Chao smiled and said, "Lord Liu is really sharp-minded!" In a word! The subordinates came this time under the orders of the helmsman, and asked Lord Liu to take a good look at Zhang Wen tomorrow, and ensure that he would not play any tricks and reach the place where he would meet! ”

"It's as simple as that?" Ye Sheng was curious, "Where is the place to meet tomorrow?" "This subordinate doesn't know, and he won't know until tomorrow when the helmsman sends someone to command." Yu Chao bent down and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Ye Sheng again.

"Whose idea was it to suddenly change plans tonight?" Yu Chao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "There is no plan for tonight's affairs at all, so I don't know, but it's probably the helmsman's idea!" No one dared to call the shots except him. ”

"I see." Ye Sheng didn't know if Zhai Zhi had the intention of killing himself, but he was disobedient to the yin, and it was wrong to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, "Can you meet Lord Zhai Helm?" "I'll see you tonight!" Does Lord Liu have anything to tell his subordinates? ”

"I, Liu Bo, were almost shot in the City Lord's Mansion tonight, whether it was the dark arrow without eyes or the helmsman's intention, in short, I, Liu Bo, want to tell you one thing, don't be caught by me! Otherwise! I want you to look good! The voice echoed in the hall, and Lord Zhai Helm sat on the chair and quietly looked at Yu Chao who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Did he really say that?" ”

Yu Chao was uneasy, nodded slowly, and said softly, "Lord Liu really said this to his subordinates, word for word, word for word!" He said that because the plan carried out by the helmsman did not match the letter, he almost put Master Liu in danger. "I see." Zhai Zhi's face was expressionless, and he asked again, "How is the investigation of the matter in the courtyard?" Many of the brothers are missing, and I am afraid they have been killed, right? ”

"This subordinate has already investigated something!" Yu Chao knelt on one knee and lowered his head to explain, "I heard Uncle Wang, a neighbor, say that there was a fight in the courtyard that day, and then he saw the scene of a fight with several brothers in the house. According to the guess of his subordinates, it is Liu Yun who catches the six doors quickly! ”

Zhai Zhi frowned, "So, after the assassination attempt, he showed his feet and was targeted by the six doors?" "It should be so, that Uncle Wang said, when he saw that he was injured by an arrow, he didn't dare to look at it anymore and fled home." Yu Chao thought for a while and added, "It should be only Liu Zhukuai who broke into the yard that day!" Because, Uncle Wang only saw Liu Yun being surrounded, and the disappearance of the brother is estimated to have been killed by Liu Yun! "It turned out to be a good thing for six doors to catch a quick job?" "Yes."

"I don't need you to teach me to think about this kind of thing." Zhai Zhi glanced at Yu Chao expressionlessly, "Go back and bring a message to Captain Liu, this time I was wrong, after tomorrow it is done, I will set up a banquet to apologize to him!" "Yes! Subordinates know! ”

The sun rises and dawns. Ye Sheng, who hadn't slept well all night, got up early, he walked into the middle hall and found Zhang Wen also sitting there dressed neatly. It's midday, and the sky hasn't fully dawned yet, but looking at Zhang Wen's appearance, he has been sitting in the hall for a long time.

Zhang Wen was sharpening the knife, the whetstone was placed on the table, and the nine-ring knife was sharpened to shine and make a clanging sound. Ye Sheng stood in front of the table, staring at the rough and shiny blade for a moment, and then smiled, "Good knife!" Zhang Wen moved the beard on the side of his mouth and smiled faintly, "This knife has followed me for three years, killed many thieves and rebels, and is a knife of justice." ”

Ye Sheng understood what Zhang Wen meant, the knife was like his person, Zhang Wen was bright and upright, high-minded and clean, this knife had never killed any innocent person by mistake, and he had beheaded those who deserved it. Ye Sheng nodded slowly and muttered, "In this way, this knife is not a knife to kill, but a knife to save people." ”

Zhang Wen sighed and looked at Ye Sheng, "Brother Liu Bo, you understand me." I entered the rivers and lakes, in order to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, and now, the people of Futian are in trouble, and I should also stand up. The four arresters of the six doors couldn't be contacted for a while, so I knew that the task of rescuing the people fell on my own head! If I can come back this afternoon, let's continue to drink wine and eat meat! ”

Ye Sheng's heart was touched, and he stopped talking, Liu Yun was dead, and Li Gan and the three of them went out to work together but couldn't be contacted, so most of the problem was with Li Gan! Now Zhang Wen wants to go to the meeting alone and take risks, I am afraid that he is in the middle of Zhai Zhi's treacherous plan, and there is no return.

Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment, his eyes were firm, and he was categorical, "Brother Zhang, I'll go with you!" "No need, Brother Liu Bo." Zhang Wen smiled and shook his head, "I'm the county magistrate, but you're just a passerby." You are not obligated to die, but I must show my face for the people of Futian who were kidnapped and kidnapped! ”

"Brother Zhang, don't say it, it's a brother, I should help you!" Ye Sheng gritted his teeth, his eyes brightened, "I'm for you, and for the people of Futian, I'm ......" Before Ye Sheng finished speaking, Zhang Wen had already got up and slapped Ye Sheng on the back of the neck, and Ye Sheng immediately fell unconscious.

Zhang Wen hurriedly hugged Ye Sheng, and clicked on his Shenque acupoint again, for a while, Ye Sheng was unconscious, even if he woke up, he would not be able to move, unless he solved the acupoint, otherwise, Ye Sheng would always be like a wooden man. Zhang Wen looked embarrassed, put Ye Sheng down on the bed in the inner room, and said to himself, "Life and death are at stake, if I am willing to accompany you, then it will be too selfish and ruthless." Brother Liu Bo, cherish! ”

Zhang Wen turned his head and left without hesitation, and on the bedside table in the inner room, there was an open letter, on which there was a line of small words, "At noon, the Qili Pavilion outside the north gate, if you don't see anyone, the hostages will be punished!" Naturally, it wasn't noon yet, but Zhang Wen couldn't wait, and the first moment he saw the letter, his mind was already on those kidnapped hostages! No matter what, he, the county magistrate, will not let innocent people die tragically because of himself!

Zhang Wen rode a fast horse, stared at the morning sun in the early morning, whipped his whip and hurried to the Qili Pavilion outside the north gate of Futian! There will be a pavilion outside each city gate. One mile and one pavilion for passers-by to rest and shade. Qili Pavilion is naturally seven miles away from Futian. When Zhang Wen rode to Qili Pavilion, it was not yet dawn. The country road is dusty, the north wind is howling, and there are no people around, but it is not easy to ambush.

Zhang Wen looked left and right, then turned over and dismounted, and walked into the pavilion alone. The morning sun is red, like soaked in blood. Zhang Wen sat upright, the nine-ring knife was horizontal in front of his legs, and he looked calm, life and death were put aside, and the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth!
