Jiang Chuge and the three of them simply moved a stool and sat in front of the window, and lowered their voices to discuss the next course of action.

This time, Xiao Qi was smart again.

Qin Guang risked being suspected by Cao Lu, and mobilized the crowd to find this copper coin pendant, which shows that this pendant is extremely important, but he is destined to not be able to find this thing. If something so serious happens, he will inevitably find a way to contact his 'master', and we can take this opportunity to follow him. ”

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, Jiang Chuge thought about it for a while, and was about to speak, but was preempted by You.

He looked at Xiao Qi, and his voice was dark: "The method is good, but at the moment, there are only three of us, and we are weak, and we don't know the depth of the people behind Qin Guang." Miss Jiang can't participate in this action, and only one person between you and me can go. ”

"I'll go, my martial arts are above you."

Xiao Qi was not afraid of danger and took the initiative.

"But Cao Lu may discuss with you, Young Master Chen, about cooperating in opening a shop at any time."

Jiang Chuge interjected faintly, she knew that in this situation, only Xiao Qi and the two of them went together was the safest way to insure, but the two of them were not worried that there was no one around her, and the previous bureau against Cao Lu was ......

This time, the only way to do this is to let you be alone.

How can we minimize the risks faced by You?

Jiang Chuge lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a short half of the incense burning, she raised her head and looked at You: "The situation in Lizhou is already clear, I will write a letter and ask Han Chengdong to come as quickly as possible." Before you track down Qin Guang, try to send it to Bai Qingqing of Qingquan County, and ask her to send it to Han Chengdong as quickly as possible. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuge took out a pure jade bottle from his waist and handed it to You: "This is a Hundred Poison Pill, when you follow Qin Guang, it may be able to play a role." ”

"This ...... Miss Xie Jiang! ”

You hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to take it.

He didn't spare his life, but he didn't want to take it back after finding out the news, so as to delay the opportunity.

After You took the jade bottle, Jiang Chuge got up, found a pen and paper and an inkstone in the dark, then turned back to the window, spread the paper on the wooden bench, and after studying the ink, he began to write in the moonlight.

When the ink was dry, she folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to You.

You carried the copper coin pendant and the letter handed to him by Jiang Chuge, and went out of the city overnight in the direction of Qingquan County.

Han Chengdong is already in the territory of Lizhou, I hope he can arrive as soon as possible, so that he can quickly save the people of Lizhou from fire and water.

At this time, thousands of miles away from here, on the Luota Gobi, the morning sun is also rising, bringing a trace of vitality and warmth to the desolate and cold Gobi.

However, this temperature did not have much effect on Qin Ying and the others, who had been freezing in the cold all night.

"Let's eat something first, and there may be action later."

The beard was scum, describing Qin Ying, who was a little haggard, and his sharp gaze swept over the silent Gobi, and he instructed Lu Qingjiu, who was hiding behind the thorn bushes with him.

"Yes."

Everyone lowered their voices in response, and then took out the water and flatbread they had brought with them, and swallowed them wildly, regardless of the taste.

"Prepare for battle!"

When everyone was half-full, Qin Ying's cold voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone immediately threw away the dry food in their hands and looked vigilantly in the direction of Qin Yingying's line.

After a while, a faint camel bell sounded.

Caravan!

These two words popped into everyone's minds.

Everyone lay quietly on their stomachs, trying their best to hide their tracks and observe the situation.

After about half a stick of incense, a caravan of more than 40 camels appeared one after another from behind a small hill.

The clothes worn by these people are the clothes of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and the occasional conversation is also the accent of the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

Qin Ying silently counted the number of camels in his heart, a total of eighteen.

"It should be the caravan from the Eastern Qing Dynasty to Nanyong to buy goods, everyone be careful, the horse thief will not let go of such a big fat fish!"

"Yes."

A group of subordinates responded, more and more focused on observing the surrounding environment, ready to take action at any time.

As everyone waited, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear in their ears.

Before long, a group of horse thieves numbering no less than 100 people rode fierce horses and swept the dust from the northwest direction of the camel caravan.

Most of the caravan fled in all directions because of this sudden change, but only the leader of the caravan and ten thugs continued to stand by the caravan, intending to protect the caravan's cargo.

"Lord Wang!"

Seeing that the distance between the horse thief and the camel team was rapidly approaching, the big knife in the horse thief's hand was about to cut at the people in the camel team, and Lu Qing's voice was tight.

"Wait."

Qin Ying frowned, if he didn't attack after the horse thief was closer, the horse thief would most likely ride his horse and escape.

Once you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to run into them again.

Qin Yingying stared at the prospect.

Closer, closer......

"Action!"

He secretly moved his muscles, let out a low shout, stood up suddenly, and flew towards the gang of horse thieves, followed by Lu Qing and the others.

The blades met, and the three parties suddenly scuffled together.

The shouts of killing, the wailing, the clashing of weapons, the sound is amazing!

Fortunately, Lu Qing and the people of the Night Shadow Guard are all martial arts masters, and Qin Ying is even better on them, even if they are facing a group of ferocious horse thieves, they can also pay one to ten.

Although the number of horse thieves is incomparable, the combat power is absolutely overwhelming.

Half an hour later, the gang of thieves was completely defeated, and all the men were destroyed except for the leader.

"Lu Qing, tie him up and take him back to Sima Chuzhao!"

Chu'er, I'll be seeing you soon.

Qin Ying's long sword rested on the neck of the fierce-looking thief with a full face and beard, and commanded Lu Qing in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Lu Qing responded and quickly stepped forward to tie up the thief's head.

Seeing that this group of horse thieves was eliminated, the leader of the camel team stepped forward gratefully, knelt on the ground, and kept worshipping Qin Ying.

"Hero, you saved our lives, you are really a great hero...... Benefactor, I'll kowtow to you......"

"Don't be polite."

Qin Ying bent down to help this person up, and risked his life to run around here for a living, which was really moving.

However, when his eyes touched the man's right hand, he noticed that his right hand had a thick layer of special calluses.

This kind of cocoon can only appear in the mouth of a person who has been using the knife for a long time.

Qin Ying had a flash of lightning in his mind, and when the gang of horse thieves attacked the camel caravan, it seemed that they could avoid this person.

The alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Qin Ying's figure suddenly retreated.

Almost at the same moment, a dagger that grew black appeared in the man's sleeve and stabbed it towards Qin Ying's heart at an extremely fast speed.

Because of the timely discovery, Qin Ying avoided the fatal blow, but his left arm was scratched.

The feeling of pain mixed with numbness instantly invaded his brain, and the knife was poisonous!

"Master!"

Seeing Qin Ying being attacked, Lu Qing's heart sank and he rushed forward quickly.

The assassin took this opportunity to save the leader of the horse thieves who was bound, but Luo Han and others worked together to stop him, but he felt that it was difficult.

Qin Ying held his breath and concentrated, stretched out his hand and quickly clicked on several important acupuncture points on his body, glanced at the scorching battle situation on the side, and ordered Lu Qing: "Go and help them!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Qing had already seen from Qin Ying's rapidly blackening wound that their master had been poisoned.

In this case, they must leave the Gobi in the shortest possible time and return to the city to be treated by a doctor.

Lu Qing turned around and joined the battle, with his main force, that person was suppressed to the death.

Dare to hurt the prince of his family, Luo Han was full of resentment, and when this person was restrained by Lu Qing, he cut off his right arm holding the dagger with a sword from behind him.

"Ah~"

A howl of pain rang out, but for a moment, there was no more sound.

It's just that after Luo Han, Lu Qing cut the major artery and trachea above his throat with a straight sword.

assassinated the prince of their family and became aware of death.

Seeing that Lu Qing and the others had killed the assassin on the spot, Qin Ying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, the scene in front of him began to ghost.

His figure staggered, and when Lu Qing saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Lord Wang." ”

His voice was full of worry, the prince must not have an accident.

"Abolish the limbs and skills of the horse thief leader!"

Qin Ying was attacked by the poison and left such a sentence before falling into a coma.

Time is like flowing water, and two days are in the blink of an eye.

As for Lizhou, there has been no news since you left that night.

Jiang Chuge and Xiao Qi didn't know where they went, and they couldn't listen to the news related to them.

In the past two days, Cao Lu personally accompanied Xiao Qi, Young Master Chen, to visit the site in Lizhou City.

In his fanciful description, Xiao Qi cooperated to act as the main leader, buying two restaurants owned by the government and an abandoned theater at a high price of four million taels of silver.

However, a year ago, Qin Yihuan's temperament suddenly changed drastically, increasing taxes, abusing torture, and disregarding the life and death of ordinary people.

He persuaded him many times, but before Qin Yihuan could attack him, Cao Lu illegally deprived him of his fame and position, causing him to be reduced to the point of working as a partner in a restaurant.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the literati.

Fortunately, Lei Hua is full of indomitable spirit in his bones, and he became more and more courageous, while working as a partner in the restaurant, he secretly collected evidence of the crimes of Cao Lu and Qin Yihuan and other state officials.

After Jiang Chuge and the three of them entered the territory of Lizhou, they traveled all the way and collected evidence that many Lizhou officials embezzled the grain and silver of the imperial court for disaster relief, and the evidence in the hands of the former master of the state government was enough to convict and sentence Cao Lu, Qin Yihuan and other officials.

However, things don't always go smoothly, and life is full of accidents.

Since last night, heavy snow has suddenly fallen in Lizhou and surrounding prefectures and counties.

Han Chengdong was blocked by heavy snow fifty miles outside the city of Lizhou, and could not come to meet Jiang Chuge.

At this time, it is already the lunar month, and there is less than a month left, which is the New Year.

The snowfall at this time can be described as a good year for the snow and predicts a good harvest for the next year.

But in terms of the situation Jiang Chuge faced at this time, it was extremely unfavorable.

Since they met Cao Lu in the Drunken Immortal Tower, today is the fifth day.

If Cao Lu had contacted Shicheng through carrier pigeons, it would have been determined that the identity of the so-called young master of the Chen family would be purely fabricated......

Outside the window, the rooftops in front of the house and the treetop streets were covered with heavy snow.

In the inn, Jiang Chuge was wearing thick clothes, standing in front of the window, looking at the silver-covered world outside, his beautiful little face was tightly wrinkled together, and his eyes were full of confusion and worry.

First of all, they had to protect themselves so that they could have the opportunity to expose the crimes of Cao Lu and other officials in Lizhou.

Secondly, at this time, they don't know where the secluded is going, whether they are okay, can they find the person behind the housekeeper in Cao Lu's mansion?

Previously, Cao Lu had asked where Yu went, but Xiao Qi found a reason to fool him.

If Cao Lu learns their identities, he will definitely be suspicious of You's departure.

If Cao Lu sets up a situation here after they leave this inn, once you come back, you will definitely fall into a trap.

If you choose to stay, you are very likely to fall into a crisis, but if you leave, you may be in danger......

However, even if You fell into the hands of Cao Lu, in order to ask about the whereabouts of her and Xiao Qi, and what evidence they had, Cao Lu would not take You's life soon, but it was inevitable that he would suffer.

After some consideration, Jiang Chuge finally decided that she and Xiao Qi would temporarily withdraw from Lizhou City and go to join Han Chengdong.
