Ding Qin looked at the three of them. Although they were killers sent by Zhao Shi, in the face of this kind of formation, they couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Are there any elderly parents?" Ding Qin asked.

The three of them nodded in unison, "Yes, yes." ”

"Do you have a wife and children?" Ding Qin asked again.

The three of them still had the same attitude, and replied very simply, "Yes, yes." ”

Ding Qin sighed, "Since there is, you should let them worry less." Actually, to be honest, I can't kill people like you a hundred times. ”

Among the three of them, two of them knocked their heads on the ground, "Please let us go, we were also deceived by Zhao Shi, and besides, we are soldiers, so we must obey orders." ”

Ding Qin didn't speak, turned around, and walked to the side. Feng Lei was confused by his action, and also turned to look at him.

Ding Qin walked to a wall of the post station and tore off the wanted notice for himself on it. He took out another piece of charcoal and wrote three large letters on it.

You wait!

After writing, he folded the paper into a ball and threw it in front of the three killers, "Take this paper and give it to Zhao Shi." Tell him I'll go back to him. Let's go. ”

The three of them were stunned. The man at the head of the man, "We...... Just go?"

Ding Qin nodded, "Let's go." Be sure to give this piece of paper to Zhao Shi. In addition, if you three dare to do anything wrong in the future, then when I come back, I will definitely let your heads fall to the ground. ”

One of the killers was a thriller.

Soon, the three of them stood up, put away Ding Qin's paper, and slowly retreated in front of them.

Feng Lei shook his head, "Your heart is really soft. ”

Ding Qin said, "I'm not soft-hearted. It's that I don't want to hurt the innocent. Kill them, and Zhao Shi will not let me go either. ”

Feng Lei laughed, "Maybe one day, your opinion will change." Well, let's go back to Tongbao City, and the general is waiting for you. ”

Ding Qin nodded and turned over on his horse. After Xiao Rou also got on the horse, the group walked along the official road towards Tongbao City.

On the way, Ding Qin asked Feng Lei, "Vice General Feng, how did you know that Xiaorou was in distress?"

Feng Lei said, "I came according to the general's wishes. The general said, let me walk along the official road in the direction of Kaiyuan City, look for a girl named Xiaorou, and ensure her safety. But unexpectedly, before I arrived at this post station, I got the news that the general had sent an observer at the post station. In order to save time, I had to go straight through the desert like a horse thief. ”

Ding Qin turned to Xiao Rou, "How did General Zheng know that you came here?"

Xiao Rou also shook her head.

Feng Lei behaved very relaxedly, "When you get to the city, you can ask the general in person." ”

The group was not walking fast, maybe Feng Lei deliberately took care of Ding Qin and Xiaorou to alleviate their fatigue. Near dusk, they entered the city and went directly to the general's mansion to meet Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi saw Ding Qin and Xiao Rou with a bright smile on his face, "Ding Qin, Xiao Rou, I didn't expect the two of you to come at the same time." ”

Ding Qin smiled bitterly, "Hmm." Actually, there are some coincidence factors. ”

Zheng Zhi didn't say anything, "It's good to come." The last time I was in the martial arts exercise, there was a sneaky person who kept an eye on you, and even dared to go near the high-rise stands. When I found out, I didn't move at first, but then when I had enough evidence, I arrested him. And guess what?"

Ding Qin shook his head, "Listen to the general." ”

Zheng Zhidao, "At first, I didn't say anything about how I tried him. Later, he finally spat out. He said that he was sent by Zhao Shi, and his mission was to monitor your actions and provide intelligence to Zhao Shi. I asked the reason again, and he said, Zhao Shi wants to harm you. ”

"At that time, you have already returned to Kaiyuan City. The men I sent to escort you have also returned. In order to prevent accidents, I immediately sent someone to Kaiyuan City to tell you about this. ”

"As a result, I didn't expect that when the people I sent arrived, you had already been thrown into prison by Zhao Shi. He didn't dare to act on his own, and for a while he was secretly observing. Later, you escaped from prison. When you interrogated that Wang Meiru, he also heard about Xiao Rou's danger. ”

He used the flying pigeon to pass the book and sent the news back urgently. I sent Feng Lei and brought a portrait that I asked the painter to dictate according to me, and went to find Xiaorou along the way. In addition, I flew pigeons and sent letters to my observers at the various stations to see if there were any women similar to Xiaorou. ”

"And when my observers found Xiao Rou, he had already been held hostage. The observer sent an urgent signal to Feng Lei, and you will know what happened later. ”

After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he walked over and patted Xiaorou on the shoulder, "Little girl, you are really courageous to run so far alone." Actually, you should get a carriage. ”

Xiao Rou smiled a little embarrassedly, "I have the carriage." However, because he was on the road day and night, he did not have time to feed the horse, and the horse died the next day. Later, I found out that the overall speed was not necessarily slower than that of the carriage, but it was a little tired. To reduce the burden, I simply ran on my own. ”

Zheng Zhi laughed, "What you're using here is a way of penance." This kind of running will also be very beneficial to your cultivation. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to Ding Qin, "Actually, you are what I am most worried about." ”

Ding Qin smiled and saluted Zheng Zhi again. "Thank you, General, for rescuing us. ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand, "Eh, forget it, don't be polite." Actually, you're in luck, too. If there is a slight deviation in time, maybe something will happen to Xiaorou. This is Destiny, Destiny!"

Of course, Ding Qin understood what Zheng Zhi said. If the three killers didn't care about anyone in the post station witnessing them killing at that time, and they did it when they met Xiaorou, then everything would be over.

All kinds of factors came together to save Xiaorou's life.

Zheng Zhi said again, "Now, you can't go back to Kaiyuan City." Why don't you stay in my Tongbao City? Here, you can concentrate on cultivation, and I will protect you. He Zhao Shi categorically didn't dare to pick things up here. ”

Ding Qin glanced at Xiao Rou. Xiao Rou had a hesitant look on her face, but she didn't say anything.

Ding Qin said, "Thank you for the kindness of the general." However, I still have something to do and must leave. As for Xiao Rou, she decided for herself. ”

"I'll follow you. Xiao Rou's tone was a little anxious, as if she was afraid that Ding Qin would not take her.

Ding Qin was stunned for a moment and turned to Xiaorou, "You can't go with me." ”

Xiao Rou was puzzled, "Why?"

Ding Qin said, "I'm going to find my father." I don't know how to go in the future. I don't want to bother you. ”

Xiao Rou's eyes were slightly red, "But, if I don't go with you, what should I do?" Kaiyuan City can't go back, can I stay in Tongbao City alone?"

Ding Qin was dumbfounded. What Xiao Rou said also makes sense. In fact, Xiaorou has fallen to this point and has an absolute relationship with herself.

After thinking about it, he said, "So be it." You go to the Royal Devotional Monastery and wait for me there. When I'm done, I'll go to you. ”

Xiao Rou was obviously still reluctant, "Can't I go with you?"

Ding Qin still shook his head. "No, you can't. In addition to the fact that you will have a dangerous factor, there is also the point that it is not as convenient for two people to act as it is for one. ”

Xiao Rou bit her lip lightly and did not speak. His face was tense, as if tears would flow down his face when he relaxed.

Zheng Zhi coughed on the side, "What Ding Qin said also makes sense. Your cultivation strength is still a cut short of Ding Qin. It was indeed more convenient for him to go on his own. Moreover, you go to the Royal Spiritual Seminary, which is both safe and rewarding. When Ding Qin needs help, you will also be able to play a greater role. ”

After listening to this, Ding Qin looked at Xiao Judao, "What General Zheng said is not wrong. It's all good for us. ”

Xiaorou didn't say anything. Ding Qin didn't say anything more, and turned to Zheng Zhi, "General, Ding Qin still has something to ask." ”

Zheng Zhidao, "It's okay to say it's okay to say it, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

Ding Qin let out an "um" and said, "General, do you know where Chiyan Mountain is?"

"Chiyan Mountain?" Zheng Zhi's eyes flashed with some doubt, and he finally shook his head, "I don't know." Where did you get that name?"

Ding Qindao, "A secret letter from the province directly under the royal family. Because of my father, he was sent there. ”

"General Ding was sent to the Chiyan Book by the province directly under him?" Zheng Zhi's face was surprised, "The province directly under the province?" General Ding is known for his loyalty and righteousness, and he is definitely one of the best candidates for the province directly under his direct jurisdiction. It's a pity, I really don't know where this Chiyan Mountain is. ”

A look of disappointment flashed quietly in Ding Qin's eyes. He sighed lightly, "Don't hide it from the general, three years ago, my father was convicted and my Ding family was expelled, all within the scope of the plan of the province directly under him. They want to use this way to protect the Ding family to a certain extent. ”

Zheng Zhi thought for a moment, "Then I understand." This is indeed one of the ways to protect the Ding family. The use of outsiders in the province directly under the province is very easy to bring disaster to the people who cause it. In order to prevent hostile forces from making a move against your Ding family, they preemptively tried to find a way to carry it out. ”

Ding Qin sighed again. "It seems that if you want to ask why, you can only go to the imperial capital to find people from the province directly under you. ”

Zheng Zhi frowned slightly, "You want to go to the province directly under the province, but the problem is that the province is a relatively secret and important institution, directly serving the royal family, and it is extremely difficult to get information from them." ”

Ding Qin involuntarily clenched his fists, "No matter how difficult it is, I have to go." This is the only way to do it at the moment. ”

Zheng Zhi pinched his chin with his right hand and walked a few steps, then said, "That's fine." Since you and Xiaorou are going to the imperial capital, I just sent a team of people to escort you there. ”

Ding Qin said, "The sooner the better." Rest for the night today, and if possible, leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, "Okay." I'll arrange it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside shouting, "Report ...... General, the military situation is urgent. ”

Zheng Zhi frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"

The messenger who came in said, "General, I just got the news. The rebels of Changmao Town advanced to the north, and have captured several towns, and now firmly control the official road from Tongbao City to the imperial capital, occupy seven post stations, and approach Tongbao City. ”

When his heart came here, Ding Qin's heart couldn't help but sink.

The road to the imperial capital has been cut off!
