Wei Ning clutched his chest tightly, it was already the fifth day since he swallowed the poison. For five days, I could only stay in this small room.

The door opened with a "squeak" and a blinding eye shot in. Wei Ning blocked his eyes with his hand and saw Zhao Shun coming in with food.

"It's ...... Lunch? "Wei Ning can only judge the time from here now. Zhao Shun put the food in front of her and said, "Hurry up and eat, and only after eating will you have the strength to run away." ”

Wei Ning didn't know what was going to happen next. Even though he has died once, he still instinctively fears death.

In fact, she was not hungry, but she still told herself that she must eat, eat well. Even if you die, you can't be a starving ghost!

Zhao Shun looked at Wei Ning without saying a word, just lowered his head and ate quietly, and couldn't help asking, "You're not afraid?" Don't you even ask me, where are you going to take you next? ”

"If I said I was scared, would you let me go?" Wei Ning asked rhetorically.

Zhao Shun shook his head: "You little girl, you are really smarter than ordinary children." I like it. For this liking, I will definitely leave you a whole corpse. ”

Wei Ning smiled bitterly. In fact, after observing in the past few days, she has found that this Zhao Shun is not simple, and that Zhang Ji basically listens to him in everything.

Zhao Shun saw that she had almost eaten, so he put away the meal. Call Zhang Ji in. Zhang Ji held a black cloak in his hand, and as soon as Wei Ning looked up, Zhang Ji put the cloak on Wei Ning's body.

Zhang Ji tied Wei Ning's hands and feet with hemp rope and hugged Wei Ning. Wei Ning was frightened in his heart, and heard Zhao Shun say: "You show us the way now, where is the secret passage leading to the outside of the city?" ”

It turns out that they are planning to do so. In the current situation, Wei Ning can only be held hostage by them. But the secret passage that Wei Ning knew was in Wei Lingfeng's room, and Wei Ning originally wanted to delay time, or lead them to the Weiguo Mansion, so as to take the opportunity to escape.

Now it's hard to even move on your own. Wei Ning only felt that it was difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he didn't know what would happen to him if they found out that they had lied to them.

Wei Ning was carried out of the house by them. Only then did she realize that she should be in a courtyard in Jingzhou City. The thatched hut was next to the stable, and it was no wonder that the weeds piled up in it smelled of livestock.

The courtyard is small, with only two tiled houses, which are in the shape of stables and thatched huts. Walking out of the courtyard, Wei Ning found that this place was in a small road that branched off at the end of the alley. The path leads to the gate of the courtyard, which can only accommodate one person in and out.

It's so hidden, it can't be more hidden. There is also a stone gate at the entrance of the path, if it is not for a careful search, ordinary people really can't notice that this alley actually forks a path, and this path only leads to the courtyard where Zhang Ji and Zhao Shun live.

Wei Ning was hugged by them and came to the street. Zhang Ji took a sharp knife in his right hand and put it on Wei Ning's lower back, signaling her to be obedient.

Wei Ning looked at the pedestrians on the street, coming and going in a hurry, this place was far away from the Weiguo Mansion. Wei Ning kept thinking about countermeasures, but he saw Wei Lingfeng with sharp eyes.

He wore a brown brocade robe and a purple and gold crown on his head. He was leading a group of officials and posting wanted notices everywhere on the streets.

Zhang Ji and Zhao Shun were well disguised, and they kept getting closer to the Weiguo Mansion without being discovered by anyone.

"This girl is really full of lies." Zhao Shun's voice was a little cold, he was gradually feeling abnormal, he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Ji, "Hurry up." ”

"I'm not lying." Wei Ning was in a hurry, if he retreated like this, he didn't know what would happen after he went back. In front of it is the area where the magnates of Jingzhou live, and there are usually many officers and soldiers patrolling. Wei Ning just wanted to lure them over there and attract the attention of the officials.

"The secret passage is ahead."

Zhao Shun pulled Zhang Ji and wanted to return the same way, but suddenly saw a large group of officers and soldiers walking towards them.

"Who?" One of the officers and soldiers at the head saw them with suspicion on his face.

In front of it is the place where the magnates of Jingzhou City live, and the people who usually come and go are very scarce, and now that Wei Ning is missing, it is even more martial law.

The three of them suddenly appeared here in large black cloaks, and soon attracted the attention of the patrol officers.

Zhang Ji was a little panicked, and he wanted to run away while holding Wei Ning's legs. Zhao Shun immediately grabbed him and said to the officer and soldier at the head: "I took the wrong road." ”

"You guys. Take your cloak off. The officers and soldiers at the head looked at them suspiciously, Wei Ning was wearing a very large cloak on his body, covering his whole body, and only his two eyes were exposed.

"Official, the three of us have been through the fire and have serious burns on our faces, so we just don't want to scare others so we put on our cloaks. If I take off my cloak, I'm afraid I'll scare the official. After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he whispered a few words in the man's ear, and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and stuffed them into the man.

The man hesitated for a moment, took the silver in his hand, and put it into his bosom.

Seeing the officers and soldiers walking farther and farther, Wei Ning was very anxious, and suddenly saw Wei Lingfeng, who he had seen just now, walking over here.

Wei Lingfeng was alone for some reason, he walked on the road expressionlessly, his steps were slow.

Zhang Ji's knife was still on her waist, signaling her not to act rashly.

Wei Lingfeng didn't even look at them, and just passed them straight by.

Zhao Shun immediately pulled them away quickly.

Back in the hut, Zhang Ji put Wei Ning down, shook his hand and gave Wei Ning a slap.

Wei Ning's cheeks suddenly hurt hotly, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed out of his nasal cavity.

"This girl, there are so many ghost thoughts!" Zhang Ji scolded, "If you hadn't thought it was early today, we wouldn't have been able to come back." ”

Zhao Shunyin looked at Wei Ning predictably, and Wei Ning pursed her lips stubbornly. Although she was scared, she also glared back at Zhao Shun without showing weakness.

"What should we do next?" Zhang Ji said to Zhao Shun.

"I can only exchange this girl for money. I'll write a letter now, you can take the letter later, and send it to the Wei family quickly. ”

Zhang Ji nodded and locked Wei Ning in the hut again.

Wei Ning wiped her face, the slap just now was so hard that her ears were buzzing for a long time.

Wei Ning didn't close the hut for long, the door of the hut was reopened, and Zhao Shun came in and put the knife on Wei Ning's neck, with a fierce look on his face.

"Get up." Zhao Shun said coldly to Wei Ning.

Wei Ning didn't know what was going on, but he still obediently got up from the ground.

Zhao Shun pulled her over and pushed Wei Ning out.

Only then did Wei Ning realize that many people had gathered outside the door, all of them officers and soldiers, and Wei Lingfeng was standing in front of the officers and soldiers.

Wei Ning was stumbled out by Zhao Shun's pull, and the knife in Zhao Shun's hand cut through the skin on her neck, faintly oozing blood.

"Let her go." Wei Lingfeng had always been expressionless, but his eyes were cold, and he looked straight at Zhao Shun, as if he wanted to pierce someone.

"Where's Zhang Ji?" Zhao Shun's face showed a fierce light.

"Dead."

A human head suddenly rolled to the feet of Zhao Shun and Wei Ning.

Wei Ning looked at Zhang Jina's lifeless eyes wide open, his stomach flipped for a while, and he retched.

Zhao Shun pulled her to death, he looked at Wei Lingfeng viciously, Wei Lingfeng clenched the long sword in his hand, and said, "If you don't let go of her, you will end up like him." ”

Zhao Shun said coldly: "Even if I die, I will drag her to die together." ”

Zhao Shun pushed Wei Ning and walked out step by step, Wei Lingfeng looked at Wei Ning's red and swollen cheeks, embarrassed, and felt distressed in his heart.

The officers and men did not dare to act rashly, but they became a situation of encirclement. Carefully wrapped Zhao Shun and Wei Ning together.

Zhao Shun dragged Wei Ning tightly, and Wei Ning felt that Zhao Shun's nails were about to sink into her bones. "If any of you get any closer, I'll kill her."

Zhao Shun suddenly raised his knife and slashed at Wei Ning's shoulder.

"Painful ......" Wei Ning's body trembled. Not because of fear, but because of pain.

Wei Lingfeng's eyes gradually turned red, and he saw that the blood flowing from Wei Ning's shoulder had stained his clothes red, and he said with difficulty: "Go back." ”

The officers and soldiers received Wei Lingfeng's instructions and gradually began to retreat.

Zhao Shun smiled, raised his head and whistled to the sky.

A thick smell of smoke suddenly permeated.

"Not good." Wei Lingfeng immediately covered his mouth and nose, but it was too late, and many black-clothed people suddenly burst out of the roof, and at the same time, raging fires burned everywhere in the courtyard.

The black-clothed men were quick with their hands and feet, and they scurried down from the roof beams with a clatter. Wei Lingfeng saw that the officers and soldiers he was carrying were all put down one after another, and he also picked up the long sword in his hand and fought with them.

Helplessly, there are many people on the other side, and all of them have good martial arts. Wei Lingfeng quickly lost the upper hand, and gradually couldn't parry.

"Wei Lingfeng!" Wei Ning couldn't help but scream when he saw a man in black raise the knife in his hand and slash at Wei Lingfeng's back.

Wei Lingfeng dodged to the side, but he didn't completely avoid it. The knife slashed at his shoulder.

This knife made even Wei Ning feel painful when he saw it.

Beads of sweat gradually flowed down Wei Lingfeng's face. The blood stained his clothes red, and there was a huge stain of water on his brown brocade robe.

"Let's get caught." Zhao Shun said coldly from the sidelines.

Wei Lingfeng finally couldn't parry, and one hand was supported by a long sword. Got to his knees on one leg.

"What a ploy." Wei Lingfeng looked at Zhao Shun and spit out a mouthful of blood: "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Shun shook his head and removed the knife from Wei Ning's neck.

The fire in the courtyard was so angry that it had spread to them. Wei Ning's throat was dumb. By the light of the fire, he saw several black-clothed men rushing towards Wei Lingfeng.

"Wei ...... Insult...... Wind ......"

Wei Ning spit out these words with difficulty, she wanted to go to Wei Lingfeng's side, but someone around her was dragging her to death.
