In a flash.

A dagger stabbed out in vain!

In the flash of light, Hai Rui subconsciously took a step back, just avoiding the edge!

It's just a fraction of a centimeter.

A sharp dagger would pierce him in the lower abdomen.

Side.

When Qin Yongxin saw this scene, his eyes widened, his delicate face showed a look of fear, and he wanted to shout something, but he couldn't make a sound, and his mind was blank.

In the end, it was the officials who were farther away who reacted first and shouted:

"There are assassins!"

"Protect the sea lord!"

One hit missed.

The assassins saw the dagger, grabbed the dagger, and rushed towards Hai Rui!

All of them are agile and have clear goals, and they have obviously been planned for a long time!

When Hai Rui saw this scene, his face was angry, but he didn't recklessly, he turned around and ran.

"Don't let him run!"

"Kill!"

The Assassins chased after them with fierce faces, daggers in hand.

"! Get out of the way! ”

Hai Rui's guards were stopped by the victims who received the porridge, and they were so anxious that they stomped their feet.

Some time after that.

In front of the city gate of Qinghe County, there was a rare and strange scene.

A middle-aged man in a robe, clutching the corners of his clothes, kicked his legs violently, and ran fast.

Four or five sturdy assassins, daggers in hand, gave hot pursuit.

Not far away, the county government's catcher stood in place, watching coldly.

In the crowd, the guards were anxious and used their scabbards to drive away the victims.

Qin Yongxin stood in place, as if he was scared stupid, his mind was blank, and he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

It took a while to come back to his senses, pluck up his courage, and roar loudly:

"Catch the assassin!"

The voice fell.

The guards have rushed out of the crowd and caught up with the Assassins!

Although these assassins have undergone a certain amount of training, they are still far behind the guards of Xiangguo's Mansion!

Less than half a stick of incense.

The guards pinned them to the ground.

Seeing this, Hai Rui's whole body relaxed, his hands on his knees, and he gasped for breath.

A moment later.

Hai Rui, relieved, came to the assassins and stared at them with a blank face.

There were five assassins in total, all of whom kept their heads down at the moment, not saying a word.

"My lord, give the lowly position an hour, and the lowly position will definitely judge them clearly!"

A guard walked up to Hai Rui and said.

Hai Rui's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Kill them all." ”

"This ......"

The guard looked puzzled and opened his mouth to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Hai Rui repeat it again.

"Kill now!"

The guards looked puzzled, they could obviously interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes and kill again, why they were in such a hurry.

But hearing Hai Rui's resolute tone, he didn't say anything more, and arched his hand:

"Yes! My lord! ”

The next second.

The guard drew his sword and walked up to the assassin, and without saying a word, his hand rose and fell, and his head fell to the ground.

The rest of the guards drew their swords at the same time.

Four more heads fell to the ground.

The corpses of the assassins smashed to the ground, splattering up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile.

At the city gate, an angry voice suddenly sounded.

"In broad daylight, these thieves dare to assassinate the imperial court envoy! It's just audacious and reckless! ”

"In any case, this official must also find out the mastermind behind them and bring them to justice!"

Hai Rui and the guards turned their heads to look and saw a middle-aged man in an official uniform, hurrying over.

"Lord Hai, Xia Guan really didn't expect that there would be such a vicious and vicious person in Qinghe County, and he was really ashamed to protect him well."

The middle-aged man who spoke was none other than the magistrate of Qinghe County, Zhao Youwei.

Hai Rui glanced at him and said lightly: "Since my disaster relief, it is not surprising that I have seen such a vicious and vicious person a lot. ”

When Zhao Youwei heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

After a long time, he laughed twice and said:

"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this is the case in Qinghe County, the lower officials must learn a lesson tonight, send more catchers to protect the adults, and atone for their crimes."

Hai Rui said: "I have made an appointment with Lord Qingzhou Thorn Shiwang, and I will return to the county town before tomorrow to attend the dinner, and I will not live in Qinghe County tonight." ”

Zhao Youwei opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Hai Rui stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "I have made up my mind, Lord Zhao doesn't need to say more." ”

After speaking, he no longer looked at Zhao Youwei, but looked at the accompanying officials and guards, and said loudly:

"That's all for today's soup kitchen, pack up our things, and let's try to get back to the county before dark."

"Yes! My lord! ”

Without the slightest hesitation, the officials and guards began to pack their bags.

Even Qin Yongxin, who was stunned just now, sensed that something was wrong, stopped being hypocritical, and ran to lead the horse.

Less than a stick of incense.

The group packed up their things.

"Your Excellency, you're all set."

Hai Rui nodded, looked at Zhao Youwei, and said coldly: "Lord Zhao, there will be a period later." ”

After saying that, he arched his hand, turned around and got into the carriage.

The wheels turn slowly.

The group followed the official road and walked in the direction of the county seat.

Zhao Youwei stood in place, watching Hai Rui and his party leave, his expression gloomy to the extreme.

Seeing this, a catcher came up and said, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

Zhao Youwei glanced at him, didn't say a word, went up with a kick, and scolded: "Useless things!" What are you looking for? ”

The catcher was kicked quickly, but he didn't dare to say a word, and said in a trembling voice: "Humble duty should be damned!" ”

Zhao Youwei glared at him, and it took a while to calm down and say, "Send someone to inform Zhao Youli, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them all!" Even if it's an egg, it has to be shaken to disperse the yellow! ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

............

On the official road from Qinghe County to the county seat.

Qin Yongxin sat in the carriage, thinking about everything that happened before, his face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "Xia Guan is really not angry, and he is stupid when he encounters something......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hai Rui:

"Now is not the time to say this."

Qin Yongxin was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What do you mean, the person surnamed Zhao will send someone to hunt us down?" ”

Hai Rui did not answer.

Seeing this, Qin Yongxin muttered to himself: "In broad daylight, it's an official way, he shouldn't have that guts." ”

Hai Rui glanced at him and said, "The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and at the last moment, people can do anything crazy!" ”

Qin Yongxin's face was puzzled.

Hai Rui didn't explain to him, opened the curtain, and asked, "How many miles?" ”

The guard said: "Lord Hui, it is already twenty miles away from Qinghe County!" ”

"Got it."

Hai Rui lowered the curtain, looked at Qin Yongxin, and asked, "How are your riding skills?" ”

Qin Yongxin didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, but he still replied: "It's decent." ”

Hai Rui said: "Then you sit in the back!" ”

As the words fell, the carriage gradually stopped.

Hai Rui stepped out of the carriage.

Take out the dagger in your arms and cut the attached rope.

Beside them, the guards saddled the horses again.

Hai Rui turned over on his horse, looked at Qin Yongxin, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come up!" ”

Qin Yongxin was stunned, did not hesitate, and also turned over and got on the horse.

Followed by.

The group threw away all their baggage again and galloped away in the opposite direction!

On the road.

Qin Yongxin wanted to say it several times.

Qingzhou Thorn History and Qinghe Zhixian, no matter how bold they are, they dare not murder the envoys sent by the imperial court in public.

The adults are throwing down their burdens and turning the direction again, which is a little too cautious.

But thinking of my previous humiliating performance.

He couldn't be embarrassed to open this mouth.

Until half an hour later.

It is getting farther and farther away from the Qingzhou Governance Office.

Qin Yongxin finally mustered up his courage and said: "My lord, the lower officials think that even if the Qingzhou Thorn History and Qinghe Zhixian have the courage to do so, they will not dare to murder ......."

Not a word is finished.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a rope in the woods on both sides.

Immediately after, there was a monstrous shout of killing!

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

"Leave no mouth alive!"

"Kill!"
