Four horses pulled the cart, and the cart was placed with a large cage covered with cloth, and three people escorted it out of the village.

Zhuangzi, who had been noisy all day, finally quieted down, and Zhuang Xuewen stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the distant carriage silently.

When the carriage was gone, he got on his horse and left Zhuangzi, and did not return to the capital, but went in another direction.

When passing by the edge of a forest, Zhuang Xuewen stopped his horse and said, "After following me for so long, you can show up." ”

However, apart from him, there was no other movement around, and no one appeared.

Zhuang Xuewen said indifferently: "Kill." ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of swords in the woods, and the shadows of the swords slashed in the moonlight, and the figures flickered, and there was silence for a moment.

Then, a man came out of the woods, dressed in a black night coat and carrying a narrow knife two fingers wide on his back. The black scarf covered most of his face, only his eyes were exposed, and his hair was tied up high, making him look very neat and neat.

The night clothes are a little close-fitting, and you can see that this person is a woman, although she is wearing a thin one, she doesn't look afraid of the cold at all.

She walked out of the woods, looked at Zhuang Xuewen and said indifferently: "Six people, dead." ”

Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, "Miss Zhuang, you seem to be becoming more and more indifferent to me. ”

"I have a name." The woman gave him a cold look, then turned to leave.

"Waiter, your grandfather named you a waiter to make you obedient. So don't vent your emotions on me at will, in comparison, Zhuang Rou is much more obedient than you. Zhuang Xuewen stopped her.

Zhuang Shi stopped, turned his head to look at him, his eyes were a little disgusted, "Whether it is assassination or guarding, she is not as useful as me, and she doesn't even know martial arts, what's the use of you keeping her obedient!" ”

Zhuang Xuewen said: "What is the use of my sister, just let me spoil it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Shi narrowed his eyes, like a poisonous snake staring at Zhuang Xuewen.

"The dealer will never change this, those eyes are always like a snake, and she will sometimes show the same eyes as you are now, revealing murderous intent, insidious and cunning." Zhuang Xuewen said with some appreciation in his tone.

Suddenly, his voice changed again, "But unlike you, even if she is a poisonous snake, it is also my snake." ”

Zhuang Shi didn't speak, just looked at him fiercely, then turned his head and ran into the woods and disappeared.

There was no one to joke, so Zhuang Xuewen also rode away.

In the woods under the night, there was no movement except for the corpses of six whose necks had been slashed with a single sword.

Two days later.

Zhuang Rou was covered in blood and tired leaning against a rock, sitting on the mountain where the official road could be seen, nibbling on a cold, hard cake like a stone. She was chased by Zhou Long's army for several days, and even when no one was around, she didn't dare to sleep carelessly.

She didn't close her eyes for several days, and her eyes were bloodshot, and her temperament became irritable and irritable.

Having no strength to make a fire, and not wanting to attract pursuers, Zhuang Rou took a sip of cold water and swallowed the cake in her mouth that had been chewing for a long time and was getting more and more unpalatable.

At this time, she saw a group of soldiers walking on the official road from a distance, driving a large carriage with a huge iron cage on it, and it seemed that a very strong person was locked up.

"Entering Hongzhou from the outside? Who is that, could it be that Mo Zuo was caught and put in the iron cage? Zhuang Rou stood up suspiciously, squinted and looked over there, it must be a powerful character to be locked in an iron cage, except for Mo Zuo, she couldn't think of anyone else.

Anyway, Mo Zuo's temperament is not much different from the beast, and he deserves to be locked up.

When she got closer, she saw that there was a huge beast locked inside, like a monkey and ape, but larger and more human-like than them.

Zhuang Rou was so surprised that she didn't eat the cake, "Yinba? What's going on! ”

Driven by a group of rebel soldiers, they went to patrol the docks and wanted to get some military supplies, when they found several people sneaking around to get a carriage and seemed to be arguing.

After walking over and interrogating, I learned that they were merchants in Jiangnan, and they bought a strange beast from a sea boat, and heard that King An liked to collect rare and exotic beasts, so he wanted to pull it over and sell it to King An.

But I didn't want to come here, but there was a war, and now I am arguing over where to go the goods. Some people proposed to go back to Jiangnan, while others said that they would try their luck in the capital, and they quarreled if they couldn't talk about it.

The wharf in Hongzhou has long been occupied by the rebels, but it did not scare the merchants, and it is okay to come here to do business with the rebels, after all, the rebels and the people also have to live, and it is inconvenient to have no goods.

It's a pity that just after the start of the battle in the past few days, except for some cargo ships that didn't know about it, they stopped here, and most of the goods were confiscated, and the rest of the people didn't dare to come.

And this cargo ship also came over without knowing it, and it was found that it was not good when it got off the ship. Fortunately, it's just a wild *** who can leave with a large amount of tolls.

Hearing that there was a rare and strange beast, the soldiers did not see it after seeing it, so they immediately decided to take it away and present it to the king of the county to sell it.

The merchants refused to release the goods, saying only that they had spent a lot of money to buy them, and that it was okay to give a cost. Before the money arrived, he was beaten by the soldiers, and he didn't even dare to ask for the cargo ship, so he got on a small fishing boat with his head in his hands and ran down the river.

When the man ran away, the beast naturally returned to them.

They drove the carriage all the way to the guard, and one of them looked at the caged Yinba with great interest, and it was too stupid to sit in it and eat fruit silently.

After thinking about it, he picked up a dead branch with his idle hands, reached into the cage and poked Yinba, and shouted: "Hey, stupid big man, look here." ”

Yinba ignored him, remembered about eating meat, and slowly gnawed the apple in his hand, and it didn't hurt to poke it anyway.

When the soldier saw that it didn't move, he knocked down the apple from Yinba's hand with a branch, and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! Look at its stupidity, it is like a piece of charcoal! ”

Roar!

Yinba didn't want to pay attention to his provocation, it also wanted to see Zhuang Rou, but he didn't expect the food in his hand to be knocked down. This provoked its anger, and it immediately pounced on the iron cage and roared loudly.

It went berserk suddenly, and the iron cage was pounded, startling the group of soldiers.

Suddenly, the soldier with the branch angrily stuck the branch into the cage and pumped it at Yinba's face.

Yinba grabbed the branch and dragged him closer, grabbed his hand, opened his mouth and squeezed off the soldier's arm with a roar.

The soldier screamed loudly, and when he saw that the beast had injured someone, the other soldiers took their spears and stabbed them at Yinba.

Three spears pierced into Yinba's flesh, completely enraging it, and slammed into the iron cage frantically. This iron cage is not as thick as in the capital Zhuangzi, and it will immediately shake and collapse at any time.

"Quick! Poke it to death! The soldier shouted loudly, and a dozen spears were aimed at the silver bully in the iron cage, and he was about to stab him to death on the spot.

At this moment, the four soldiers on the side suddenly screamed and were knocked out with a bang. Zhuang Rou rushed over with a shield and threw it at the iron cage, "Yinba!" Come out for me! ”

The shield slammed into the iron cage, directly breaking several iron rods, and Yinba tore it with both hands, then ripped the iron cage open, got out of the cage and beat his chest and yelled.

Zhuang Rou shouted at it, "Kill them!" ”

Yinba jumped up from the carriage and pounced on a soldier, his huge body like a black cloud, which made people tremble and scream in horror.
