This is the only way to Shanxi Road, and it is normal for someone to pass by.

While wearing a cloak and hat, the coachman urged: "Master Li, go back to the carriage quickly!" "It's all drenched in soup, still watch? Again, what can be seen?

The drifting rain cut off most of the sight, so even if the other party has already walked in front of him, he can't see the other party's appearance clearly. However, this did not prevent everyone from feeling their uniform march and the smell of blood on their faces.

It seems to be an army, and it is a murderous army team.

"Go there." Li Zhao clasped the coachman's shoulder and stretched out his hand to point to the stab.

He remembered that there was a trail there, and at the end of the trail was a neat high ground, and what was at the end of the high ground, maybe a river, maybe a deep valley, he didn't know, but the only thing he knew for sure was that it was safe to avoid it for the time being.

The coachman was stunned, as if he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. Just as he was about to say something, a hissing sounded in his ears, and the sound of crossbow arrows echoed in his ears, and the heavy rain became the best natural cover for this moment. The coachman panicked, instinctively raised his horsewhip and drove in the direction pointed by Li Zhao.

There was the sound of countless crossbow arrows in their ears, some passing by them, and some hitting the carriage.

In the heavy rain, the other party may not be able to see clearly, but this does not affect what they will do. A jumble of crossbow arrows filled the entire mountain trail.

The hissing sound was masked by the drifting rain.

Arrows flying...... Nothing more.

"Hurry up." Li Zhao urged to look at the carriage beside him that suddenly fell to one side of the wall, and supported the carriage that had fallen more than half of it with one hand, "Run!" ”

In the drifting rain curtain, they can't see their own people and each other clearly, so they can only run.

It doesn't cause chaos to others, and maybe there will be a chance to escape.

"They...... Who are they? We didn't provoke them, so why kill us. "Although this coachman is wearing an official robe, he is also a guard, but how can a good and athletic guard be sent to catch the car? Obviously, in this group of escorts, this coachman can be said to be a very inconspicuous existence.

By now the coachman was panicking.

"I don't know." Li Zhaodao, who couldn't open his eyes due to the heavy rain, said, "As for doing it, it has nothing to do with whether we mess with them or not." "I just want to kill them, as for the reason behind it, it may be related to the incident on Shanxi Road.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived at Shanxi Road, he encountered an interception.

The sound of the drifting rain mixed with the sound of the wind whistled, Li Zhao suddenly grabbed the driver's shoulder: "Stop ...... quickly"

It was too late, the horses' hooves stepped into the air, and after a terrible neigh, the carriage disappeared at the end of the high ground.

The guards, disturbed by the sudden ambush, did not notice the vanishing carriage, and the darkness in their field of vision made it difficult to discern how many men and horses there were, and how many crossbow arrows there were.

They circled around the carriage in the middle of the car, wielding their swords and slashing their crossbow arrows.

"Miss." Shui Xing was a little panicked, and wanted to reach out and lift the curtain but shrank back, she grabbed the curtain and said, "Who are they?" ”

That's a stupid question.

"I don't know." Yuan Jiaojiao said coldly, "Our guards are not easy to mess with. ”

She will be fine until the guards outside are gone.

"This is not far from Shanxi Road, Zhou Shilin knows that I will arrive today, and if I don't arrive for a long time, he will definitely send someone to come, and it will naturally be fine when the time comes." After a pause, she added.

She didn't know how many people were out there or how many crossbows the other side had, but no matter how many there were, there would be no more than a real marching army, so there was no need to panic.

Compared with Yuan Jiaojiao's calmness, Shui Xing was still a little panicked: "If it is...... What if the guards can't hold on to the people who can't come to Shanxi Road? ”

"There's a slim chance they'll kill me." Yuan Jiaojiao rubbed the scar on her wrist, and her expression was still calm.

She has such a bloodline, it is a priceless treasure, how many people will destroy this priceless treasure?

So, she didn't panic.

However, it was obvious that the Water Guild was wrong, thinking that she was referring to them, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her face changed again: "Miss, what about Lord Li?" ”

Lord Li's line is at the end, and now it's a mess outside, and I don't know what happened to that Lord Li, thinking of the random arrows shooting outside, Mo won't die! Thinking of the inexplicable death of a fellow official, Shui Xing's face turned pale.

"I don't know." Yuan Jiaojiao closed her eyes.

She is priceless, as for others, what does it have to do with her.

……

At the mention of that unlucky bastard, Xu Hexiu couldn't help but pout, with a little sympathy in his eyes.

"I don't know that...... Where have they been? He walked in and sat across from the girl and sighed.

The girl who was looking through the transcript looked up and glanced at him: "Master Xu, who are you talking about?" ”

Inexplicably such a sentence, who knows who he is talking about.

"The one in the ministry," Xu Hexiu reminded her, "it's the one who was married to that young lady." ”

Li Zhao, Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, and said, "Count the days, it's almost to Shanxi Road!" ”

Since she received the news from Li Zhao before leaving, she was almost near Shanxi Road.

Xu Hexiu sighed, and sat down in the chair opposite her with his arms folded with some lack of interest.

The girl didn't speak again, still looking down and flipping through the notes.

The only sound in the room was the rubbing of paper.

"Miss Qiao, no, Master Qiao," Xu Hexiu, who was a little bored, called out to her and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Transcript!" The girl did not lift her head.

Of course he knew she was reading the transcript, but that's not what he asked. Xu Hexiu scratched the back of his head, and simply stretched his neck to look at the paper full of words in her hand.

"The look is different, the time is wrong...... Master Joe, what do you write? He wondered.

This mess is something that only she can understand!

"Naturally, it's a question in the transcript," the girl said and looked up at him, seeing his curious look, she couldn't help but ask, "Lord Xu is very idle?" ”

Xu Hexiu nodded honestly, he was really idle today.

"That's good." Qiao Ran put down the pen in his hand and looked at him, "In that case, you can tell me about Chai Jun!" ”

Chai Jun?

Xu Hexiu frowned unconsciously: "I'm not very familiar with him......"

"I know." The girl smiled disappreciatively and said, "It doesn't matter, everyone is not familiar with him." I wanted to ask Chai Junke if he had any relatives who looked similar to him, such as cousins in the clan and the like. ”

Cousins?

Xu Hexiu thought seriously for a while, and said: "General Chai seems to have a lame brother, because of his lameness, his brother did not join the army, and naturally did not make any contributions or anything, so he stayed in Chang'an, maybe there is a man and a woman or something!" ”

Qiao Ran nodded and thanked him.

Xu Hexiu hurriedly asked, "Is there a clue?" ”

"There are no new clues." Qiao Ran shook her head and said, "I'm just looking for Chai Jun who might appear in front of everyone." "A person similar to Chai Jun naturally starts from his brothers.

Xu Hexiu sighed and didn't ask again, Miss Qiao's ability to investigate the case was somewhat clear to him, and there was naturally no problem in starting from finding Chai Jun who might appear in front of everyone.

Xu Hexiu sat in a daze for a while, sighed, and prepared to get up and leave.

"By the way, Lord Xu, there is something I want to ask." The girl who looked down at the transcript for a while suddenly stopped him and asked, "About playing polo." ”

Xu Hexiu, who was about to get up, sat back in the chair, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "You just say it." "Although he doesn't play polo very well, he has also played it, and he is always a little better than this girl who even had to ride a horse and take it away.

The girl thought for a moment and asked, "Do you bring your own sticks for playing polo?" Is there a special utensils box? ”
