Chapter 215: The Post Road is Difficult

Riding a fat horse, with two other horses tied to the back of the horse, Zhuang Rou felt that this was simply a leak, and it seemed good to think about it. She didn't touch the body, and she wasn't a robber, so she just threw it there, as long as she had a horse.

This time she learned wisely, and no longer let the horse run wild, just trotting all the way. If it doesn't bumble badly, the horse won't be too tired, and the other two horses will follow easily, and they will change horses from time to time, and they basically don't have to stop for a big rest.

She had planned to walk this way, but if she met He Xiaoran, she would break his legs, tie him to the back of the horse and drag him to the nearest yamen. But when it came to dawn, I didn't see him, not even the three people who dominated the heavens.

Perhaps, these people in the rivers and lakes have already fought in some field, and they are dead and wounded. If the living dig a pit and bury the person, or find a cliff and throw it down, it will not be found at all.

Out of instinct, Zhuang Rou felt that these people in the rivers and lakes were too unreasonable, and they didn't take the government in their eyes at all.

How to kill people and set fires casually, you have to be under the control of the government to not mess around, but it seems that the only thing related to the rivers and lakes in the government is the Falcon Gate.

They often go out to solve some inexplicable cases, as if they move around the rivers and lakes more, like ordinary catchers, at most encounter some splashy skins or ground snakes.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered Zhuang Xuewen, and her brother was also doing something unacceptable behind her back. I asked last time, and he said that he didn't want to rebel and become the emperor, so those things he did wouldn't be messing up the rivers and lakes, right?

Zhuang Rou laughed out loud, if his brother is from the rivers and lakes, he is an outlier. I heard that the people in the rivers and lakes hate the court eagle dog the most, so they won't take the initiative to go to the court, where is it like my brother who has been honestly studying in the country.

Seeing the rising sun, she was a little worried about her master, and she didn't know where they had gone by water. With Shi Zang and Yang Qing here, the fake holy decree will definitely be taken away by Yang Qing, and his light skills are no worse than Hua Yulou. Master won't be killed, right? is so old, and he still has to work hard for Chu Xia.

She knew very well that what the master was doing was bait, even if it wasn't for Chu Xia, just for the sake of the master and her cheap master, she must send the holy decree to the capital safely.

In the far reaches of the post road, there was a roadside wild shop, with a big word of wine hanging on the flagpole, some horses tied to the door, and smoke rising, and it seemed that a fire had begun to be lit for cooking.

It just so happened that Zhuang Rou also felt a little hungry, so she didn't eat supper in a hurry at night, and she didn't bring food when she was in a hurry. Originally, he could have touched a few broad beans to feed the horses to fill his belly, but the unscrupulous He Xiaoran snatched the horse, and the three horses of Batianmen had nothing on them, and these Jianghu people were too unfriendly to horses.

She kicked the horse's belly, and the horse trotted away with her to the restaurant.

At this time, on the Suizhong River from Hongzhou to the capital, the big boat that the master was sitting on was moving slowly against the wind, and if it weren't for the twelve boatmen in the cabin paddling, the boat would have to go back to Hongzhou when it raised its sails.

Compared with the gorgeous big boat that the master was on, Qin Qiu was on a fast boat specially found by Luo Yunfan, the hull was thin and light, and the cabin only had a small tarpaulin canopy, which was too narrow inside. There were six of Luo Yunfan's subordinates who were forced over, and they had to fold up if they wanted to lie down in the cabin.

Qin Qiu had been sitting at the bow of the boat, not wanting to squeeze the broken cabin with them. When chasing his prey, he is like a hungry wolf, he can simplify eating and sleeping, and as soon as he relaxes, he loses his target.

He stared at the boat, which was only a long length in the distance, waiting for the night to come. It's only morning, and they're just keeping up, and they'll have to wait until tonight if they want to.

"Is that the king of the county really as the intelligence shows, an incompetent gentleman?" He touched the bandage on his hand, and although his hand was much better, the scar on it still made him a little uncomfortable.

Zhuang Rou's variables were too great, he couldn't be sure what the woman would do, and the ghost knew if the king of the county would send her the holy decree away.

However, Luo Yunfan had someone staring at Zhuang Rou in the yamen, and if she made any moves, she could send someone over there to intercept her. I killed all the people here first, and then went to look for her, the gold was not taken for nothing.

"Meow ......"

At this moment, Qin Qiu suddenly heard a cat meow, he turned his head suddenly, and saw a subordinate of Luo Yufan, who was lying on the boat meowing and learning to meow, looking for something.

"What are you doing?" He asked, frowning.

The man said, "Just now a rat ran over my feet and got under the plank, and I wanted to scare it out and throw it into the river, and I hate rats the most!" Meow ......"

Qin Qiu was silent for a moment, then pointed to a specially piled pocket on the side of the deck that was used to disguise itself as a small merchant ship and said, "Run there." ”

"Where!" The man got up at once, and walked lightly towards the pile of pockets, and when he had passed, he carefully tried to remove one of the pockets.

At this moment, Qin Qiu stepped over in a few steps and kicked this person off the boat with a kick from behind.

With a plop, the man fell into the water and rushed downstream along the river. He was good at water, and he was splashing in the river trying to swim back, and he was still shouting something, but the water was too fast to swim and he couldn't swim.

"Ahh What happened! ”

"Help!"

The others were shocked, this killer was sick!

Although he was angry in his heart, he knew that Qin Qiu's strength was higher than them, so he could only hold back his scolding and quickly take out the rope to save people.

After tossing for a long time to rescue people, everyone found that Qin Qiu had been looking at them with raised eyebrows, and he was not embarrassed at all.

They scolded angrily: "Why did you push him down! Everyone's task is the same, if there is something that you can't live with, just say no, why shoot! ”

Qin Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I hate that someone learns to meow, and the next time I do it, I'll just throw his head into the water." ”

"......" Everyone was stunned, just for a cat meow?

This madman, the killer is really a madman!

When they were screaming and rattling, Luo Yunfan in the Song Mansion in Hongzhou smashed the table next to him with one palm, and the person standing in front of him immediately knelt down with his fists in his hands, not daring to raise his head.

Hua Yulou glanced at him, and immediately ran out of the window.

Luo Yunfan didn't look at him, but just looked at the kneeling person coldly, "I can't find out what boat she is on?" ”

"Sect Master, my subordinates have searched for all the sentries and cultists on the docks, and her appearance will not be mistaken when she turns to ashes, but no one has seen her on the boat. I heard from the gate that when she closed the gate yesterday, she rode out of the city, and when she went out, the gate was closed, and she was not seen to leave in any way. The kneeling man said.

And her horse was also a horse bought from a restaurant, and she muttered from the shopkeeper. said that she would not be allowed to see her brother, so she would go. ”

Luo Yunfan snorted lightly, and went to the capital to look for Zhuang Xuewen, which was really the same as the news that Hua Yulou had come back from inquiring. But at this time, I quietly left Hongzhou, I'm afraid it was no one else, it was Hua Yulou!

It was a day late before he left Hongzhou, and the holy decree on the master's body was a fake, and it was really on Zhuang Rou.

It's just that I don't know what kind of way this King Yinde County used, stealing the day under Hua Yulou's eyelids, and handing over the holy decree to Zhuang Rou. However, he is the king of the county, and it is possible that there is a holy decree on his body, just look at the appearance and not open it, who knows what is written inside!

"Immediately send twelve people to chase from the post road to the direction of the capital. In addition, he sent a good rider to go all the way up the river and inform Mr. Qin of the matter. ”

The man replied, "Master, the boat has been traveling for a day and a night, and although it is against the current, if they do not dock and rest, it will not be possible to catch up with them tomorrow." ”

The corners of Luo Yunfan's mouth curled slightly, and he squinted his eyes to reveal a fox-like smile, "Use the dark pillars along the way, use the Tianxing Order to expedite eight hundred miles, and send the news over before dawn." If Zhuang Rou was taking the waterway, then she must still be behind. ”

"If it's by land, that's even better."

The man stood up and stepped out, "Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." ”

"Do you want to kill Chu Xia now?" Luo Yunfan sat alone in the room, talking to himself in his spare time.

Smelling the fragrance of breakfast and coming to the door of this nameless restaurant, Zhuang Rou, who tied up the horse and threw it to them to eat, then stepped into the restaurant, and was looking at the diners around him in confusion at this time.

She didn't understand that she was just riding a horse to the capital, and this post road was also a road built by the imperial court, why did she meet people in the rivers and lakes at night and the same during the day?

Or do you say that you have broken into a den of thieves, and you are either bandits or robbers on this road, and you have been occupied by these gangsters?

The restaurant has two floors, the upper floor is the guest room, and the lower floor has eight square tables, and there are already four people sitting at this time. Except for her and a woman in purple who sat alone at a table and wore a hat when eating, the others were all rough old men.

A few of them were dressed decently, but all of them had various weapons around their waists, and the woman had a long sword on her table. In addition to hunters, those who can swagger and carry weapons are naturally only people in the rivers and lakes.

Zhuang Rou has never seen Huayulou's weapons until now, it can be seen that the people in the rivers and lakes have entered the city, and they will hide their weapons for fear of being checked by the government.

She couldn't help but think of the reason why there were so many people in the rivers and lakes here, and they still hung their weapons outside one by one, eager to show off on their heads.

Is it because the people of Hongzhou go far away, almost all of them take fast and comfortable boats, so there are no people walking on the post road, so that the people in the rivers and lakes can walk with weapons openly?

Others are okay, although they will be checked, as long as they say that they are performing arts, they will only be fined some ordinary weapons that they have been let go. Not to mention the sword, even the sword dance is the specialty of many ordinary rich and noble singers, as long as they don't open the blade, no one cares.

And Zhuang Rou was targeted by everyone in the store from the moment she walked into the restaurant. She was dressed too realistically, and she looked like she was ready to kill at any time.

She also has a forbidden crossbow on her waist, and her legs are completely tied with crossbow arrows, and from her neck to the tips of her shoes, she involuntarily exudes an aura that I am arrogant and want to cause trouble.

Zhuang Rou knew that from the restaurant that showed half of her face and stood behind the kitchen curtain to peek, all the way to the diners were staring at her. She slapped the table and shouted, "Xiao Er, do you look down on our people from the Beast Gate!" There are no people who order food, and business can't be done! ”

"Guest officer, here!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, a plump woman with a red mouth flashed out of it, and she twisted her waist like a gust of wind.
