Zhuang Rou rode out of the city with a shield on her back, and the days of seeing the homeless people along the road became more and more difficult.

In the past, there were people who sympathized with them and would give them something to eat when they begged for food, but in the days when she didn't come out, there were three more cases of robbing villages and towns.

It is still said that it was done by the homeless, and they do act like homeless people, they just grab some food and run, and they are not dressed as well as the guard.

There are also weapons, this time they are all sticks and sticks that are easy to obtain, and occasionally a few people carry sharp murder weapons, which are nothing more than kitchen knives or wood knives that have been snatched from nowhere.

Now the displaced people are shouted and beaten by everyone, and the people are no longer pitiful when they see them, but they are disgusted and far away. The homeless people can only rely on the little porridge issued by the government to survive, and the people who are infected with diseases cannot survive, and they are gone before the most difficult time.

Zhuang Rou knew from the beginning that even if she found the silver, there would be no Chu Xia to make trouble in it, and it would be impossible for the homeless people to be saved.

Children and women were able to sell what they could eat, and the young men were already in the ascendancy and received more food, and the first to die were the old people who were not in good health and could not afford to snatch it.

All this is to blame on the down-and-out prince who still wants to rebel!

Zhuang Rou had never seen this person, but he hated it first, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to rebel and force the emperor to be anxious, he wouldn't have wanted to solve King Ren earlier.

Without the Empress Dowager's uncle, the court would have allocated money to disaster relief, and the displaced people would not have been caught up in these conspiracies.

She looked at the homeless people on the side of the road, thinking that if she killed all Nioh's people, once the emperor's throne was secure, her brother would no longer have to use these homeless people.

Right! That's it.

Zhuang Rou thinks that she is not a good person, she has selfish intentions, otherwise as long as Zhuang Xuewen and Chu Xia are killed, the puppet emperor will not be able to stir up any trouble.

However, this can only be delayed for a while, unless the palace can be directly forced to succeed, otherwise Nioh still has to fight if he wants to take the throne.

Besides, who would kill Zhuang Xuewen and Chu Xia, the two people she cared about the most, for the sake of the homeless.

She rode on the horse, let it go by itself, and said to herself: "In this case, it's better to kill Yang Rong directly." ”

So, Zhuang Rou turned the horse's head and rode to the place where the guard was, she planned to hide around the guard, looking for an opportunity to kill Yang Rong. And over there, you can keep an eye on the people who go out to rob, and kill one by one.

When Zhuang Rou set his sights on the guard, a white-faced boy who was also holding a jade fan and fanning it lightly in the cold wind rode a horse to the guard.

Yang Rong personally greeted the two outside the gate, and his frowning brows were loosened with the arrival of the two.

He welcomed the two of them into the commanding envoy, asked people to prepare the wings, and served good tea, before asking: "The two of you can come so quickly, it really solves Yang's siege, I don't know the names of the two honorific names." ”

The white-faced scholar shook his fan and smiled: "In Xia Baiyuanguang, he is known as the jade-faced son. This is a line of gray, Qin Qiu. ”

Compared to Bai Yuanguang's kindness, Qin Qiu just sat lazily on the chair and arched his hand to him very casually, even if he had said hello.

Yang Rong has never heard of the names of the two, he usually does not deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, they have a division of labor, and the people in the rivers and lakes are Luo Yunfan's line.

But after all, this is the person he invited with a lot of money, and with the price and reputation of the other party, it is impossible to send someone who can't do it.

And he only invited one person, this is one more, is it a free gift?

"Long admiration, long admiration. Your pavilion is really reliable, and with two masters to protect me, then I am not afraid of any assassination! Yang Rong said politely, after he found that his people couldn't beat Zhuang Rou, he decided to ask the killers in the rivers and lakes to protect him.

When that Zhuang Rou gets close, she can let the killer who protects her kill her.

Bai Yuanguang waved his fan and said: "Commander Yang made you mistaken, the person you invited is me, and he has other tasks to do." ”

"The reason why I live here is because his goals overlap with yours, so it's convenient."

Yang Rong was stunned and looked at a line of ash, "I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking, who is the target your Excellency is looking for?" ”

Qin Qiu looked at him and grinned, "Only the dead can know." ”

"......" Yang Rong was stunned, although he was a little annoyed in his heart, he also knew some rules of the rivers and lakes, as if he really couldn't say it.

He snorted the embarrassment, "It's okay, no matter who it is, your Excellency can stay as long as you want!" ”

"Thank you, but if an assassin comes, I won't help." Qin Qiu said solemnly.

If it weren't for Bai Yuanguang having a token in his hand, Yang Rong would have felt that these two people were not Chu Xia's spies. Isn't the killer the kind of murderous puppet who is cold and silent, like a dead man and has no expression?

Now there is a gangster, a scholar, and the gap between him and the imaginary killer is too big.

Yang Rong secretly scolded in his heart, and then said with a straight face: "I invited Your Excellency Bai to come, mainly because there is a woman who wants my life all the time. Don't look at my large number of people here, but I'm just an ordinary subordinate, and I can't beat her at all. ”

"My task is to protect you for thirty days, and if the other party doesn't come to the door, I won't take the initiative to look for her. So you don't have to introduce her to me, anyway, as long as someone wants to do something to you, even if it's a fly, I won't let it come near you. Bai Yuan Guang smiled and said, the price of killing and protecting is different, and this commander is really a good calculation.

Seeing that he didn't mean to strike first at all, Yang Rong was also a little dissatisfied, if it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice, he didn't want to find these Jianghu people at all.

Just asking someone to come over to protect himself costs 100,000 taels of silver, and it's only been a month. And even if they add money after a while, they won't stay, saying that they are busy and don't have time to waste time on this kind of task.

But now that everyone is here, they naturally have to provide for them, and then they will deliberately lure Zhuang Rou out.

Yang Rong made up his mind, so he politely chatted a little more, and only after Bai Yuanguang clearly said that he wanted to go back to the room for rectification, he sent someone to take them back to the room.

As soon as the two left, he immediately called Ding Moushi to inquire if Zhuang Rou was still in the yamen. got good news that Zhuang Rou had left the city, but people didn't know where to go.

"Hmph, she's not going to just leave it at that, she must be nosy again. I'm going to go out tonight to attract her over and let this guy kill her! Yang Rong's hatred for Zhuang Rou was unbearable, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

Ding Moushi was very worried and persuaded: "My lord, this is too dangerous, isn't it?" ”

Yang Rong snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of, there are people from Lingge, and you can still be injured by that woman?" Luo Yunfan said that Lingge has rules, if the task fails, the person who takes the task only has one chance to remedy. ”

"With this kind of protection task, if something happens to me, then this white boy doesn't even have a chance to remedy it. And the Lingge will send people to eliminate the people who fail the mission, and if they fail, they will die, and they will not have to go all out! ”

"I see, it seems that the killer's life is not easy either!" Ding Moushi had never seen this kind of Jianghu organization, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly felt that being a killer was more dangerous than rebellion, and there were still people willing to do it.

Yang Rong thought of Zhuang Rou's death, and sat there with a cold laugh, which scared Ding Moushi next to him.
