In the edict, Gao Zhen sat on the wooden bed, his face calm, but the slight curvature of his fingers still revealed his nervousness.

He was a little afraid, he thought, "If I drank that bowl of porridge just now, wouldn't there be no way to see Arlo?" ”

There was a sound at the door of the cell, Gao Zhen tilted his head to look, first puzzled, then shocked, he hurriedly got out of bed and came to the door.

"Luochen, how did you get in?" Gao Zhen asked eagerly.

Luo Chen observed the surroundings and whispered: "I took advantage of their change of guards, stunned a guard, and changed their clothes to come in, but their guards are all old people and know each other, I won't stay long, I will make a long story short, second son, you don't want to eat all the food sent by the edict prison next, after today, after the opening of the court, you can be interrogated to the criminal department, and everything will be safe." ”

"Okay, I understand." Gao Zhen replied.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, Luo Chen glanced at it, lowered his voice again, and said, "The master asked me to tell you, don't be afraid." ”

The footsteps were approaching, it was the patrolling guard, Luo Chen didn't dare to stay longer, turned away, and disappeared into the darkness.

Gao Zhen whispered and muttered, "Don't be afraid. ”

In the Jin Mansion, he had already learned the news of the failed assassination from the spies, Jin Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "You can escape this way." ”

"Father, what now?" Jin Zijue asked.

Jin Zhuo made a quick decision and ordered: "Attack hard." ”

Jin Zijue let out an "ah", puzzled, "Father, really, really want to be like this?" Your Majesty blames ......"

"Stupid." Jin Zhuo cursed, "Do you think that Your Majesty wants to detain Gao Zhen to the Imperial Prison, not the Criminal Department, and our Majesty doesn't want Gao Zhen to live, otherwise, do you really think that the Imperial Prison can really be lax enough to let people go in and poison him?" ”

The eldest princess said, "However, you also said last night that Your Majesty will not pass on the throne to my son. ”

Jin Zhuo nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty will not pass on the throne to the people of my Jin family, but it will not be passed on to Gao Zhen, that is ironclad evidence that he killed his brother and seized the throne." ”

After saying this, Jin Zhuo asked, "What about Ziji, why didn't he come?" ”

The eldest princess coughed and said, "Ziji, he, he's unwell." ”

Jin Zhuo snorted, "It's all your sons, can't you treat everyone equally?" ”

"I, I didn't." The eldest princess wanted to continue to explain, but Jin Zhuo interrupted her, "Forget it, I don't want to care, it's noon now, and we don't have many opportunities." ”

Jin Zijue asked: "Father said that he wanted to attack, but he couldn't use the soldiers of the Jin family, and he couldn't go in person, so Father, please make it clear that his son can arrange it." ”

"It's too late for you to arrange it." Jin Zhuo said, "This time, there are several martial arts masters who returned to Beijing with me, and I arranged for them to be imprisoned early, just in case the poisoning fails." ”

"At this point, they've already done it?" Jin Zijue asked.

"You don't have to worry about that." Jin Zhuo didn't want to explain the matter of the martial arts master, and then ordered, "You still need to do one more thing now." ”

"Father's command."

"That poisoned pawn, although I have secretly sent it out, but you go and kill him, don't leave any tricks." Jin Zhuo said.

"Yes."

After Jin Zijue left the mansion, he fell into the monitoring range of Qin Shu, he followed behind Jin Zijue and rode a fast horse to the outside of the city.

In the county lord's mansion, Luo Qingzhi was still waiting for news, and she was already a little worried, but she couldn't openly disobey the holy decree and leave the mansion.

"Your Highness, someone has delivered a letter in the concierge."

Luo Qingzhi took the letter and opened it quickly, and there was a short sentence inside.

"Jin Zhuo is home, and there are martial arts people with him."

Luo Qingzhi pondered the meaning of this sentence, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"Go get ready for the horses."

His subordinates stopped, "Your Highness, you can't leave the mansion without an edict." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't have any explanation, put on a big hat, and went out of the house through the back door.

In the Imperial Prison, Luo Chen had already fought with people, but it was strange that there were no guards to check on such a big movement.

Although Luo Chen's martial arts are good, it is really difficult to resist one-to-five, Luo Chen said to Gao Zhen: "Second son, I will block them, and you will find a way to leave." ”

Gao Zhen was already very anxious, but his mind was very clear, "No, I'm afraid I haven't gotten out of the edict yet, as long as I get out of this prison area, I will be killed, even if I get out by luck, then I will really be a fugitive." ”

Luo Chen also understood, and no longer persuaded him, but in a trance, he was slapped in his left shoulder.

Gao Zhen was in the cell, Luo Chen was outside the cell, Gao Zhen had no way to help, but could only watch Luo Chen resist the attack alone.

Gao Zhen shouted loudly and said, "You go, Mr. Luo, leave me alone, this lock is so hard that they can't open it for a while." ”

"Nope." Luo Chen was kicked again, and the corners of his mouth began to ooze blood, "The master ordered me to protect you." ”

"." Luo Chen scolded angrily, "It seems that I am going to fold here today, second son, if you have the opportunity, you must tell the master, I, Luo Chen, did not flinch, not a single step." ”

"I've seen it." Luo Qingzhi came with a sword.

"Master!"

"Arlo!"

Both of them were a little happy, and Luo Qingzhi threw another saber to Luo Chen and said, "Concentrate." ”

The addition of Luo Qingzhi turned the situation around a little, but the five people on the opposite side were all first-class masters, even if the two joined forces, they couldn't really suppress it.

The situation froze, and the opposite side also stopped the offensive and did not continue to attack, but Luo Qingzhi did not dare to act rashly.

Luo Qingzhi said loudly: "A few seniors, I don't know, what the other party promised you, but this is Jinling, not the rivers and lakes, and the identities of several people are not difficult to check, is it possible that in the future, you will be hunted down by the imperial court for the rest of your life, hiding and hiding?" ”

One of them heard Luo Qingzhi's words, obviously hesitating, "Big brother, we can't kill them all, otherwise, forget it." ”

The person who was called the eldest brother only hesitated for a moment, and immediately retorted, "No, adults have a life-saving grace for us, how can people in the rivers and lakes be ungrateful." ”

Luo Qingzhi saw that the person in front of him was the leader, and began to change his words, "In Xia Luo Qingzhi, I have admired the heroism of the people in the rivers and lakes since I was a child, it is better to fight alone with me, if you win, I will get out of the way, and I will repay your kindness, if you lose, I will let you go, and I will not say a word to the court." ”

"Luo Qingzhi? Are you Luo Qingzhi, the county lord of Anning? The big brother who took the lead was a little surprised.

"Yes, I am." Luo Qingzhi noticed that the man seemed to know her, so she continued, "You see, we have been fighting for so long, and this edict seems to be unmanned, but, I believe you also know that as long as there is a result on our side, a group of people will rush out immediately, I am a person in the court, and I am the lord of the court, how can I not be killed by a random knife, but you ......."

"Big brother, we can't die here, big brother."

The eldest brother who took the lead was relieved and said, "Okay, I'll compare with you, it's also my luck to be able to learn General Anning's swordsmanship in this life." ”

The space is limited, and the people on both sides automatically give way to the space, Luo Qingzhi holds the sword, and the other party uses the knife, the sword intent and the sword soul test each other.

Just in case, Luo Chen approached the cell and protected Gao Zhen.

"It's been many years, and I haven't seen the master compete with people seriously."

Gao Zhen was a little worried, and asked softly, "Can Ah Luo win?" ”

"Of course." Luo Chenhao did not hesitate, "In this world, there are not many people who can win against the master. ”

With Luo Chen's affirmative answer, Gao Zhen relaxed a little, and his gaze was completely projected on Luo Qingzhi.

Almost instantly, the two of them made a move at the same time, swords struck each other, lightning and flint, and the sound was crisp.

The two of them pushed hard, blessed their skills, and took a step back between them.

Luo Qingzhi continued to attack quickly, making a series of moves, making the opponent retreat step by step.

The other party is not good at stubble, and his hind legs kicked the wall, and with the help of his strength, he drove Luo Qingzhi to take half a step back.

Luo Qingzhi changed her attacking method, her sword intent was approaching, and her footwork was light, and she fell into a colorful move, knocking out the opponent's weapon, and the sword blade pointed straight at her neck.

"Big brother!"

The eldest brother who took the lead laughed and said, "The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying, the sword is a good sword, what's the name?" ”

"Candleheart."

"Well, I know what sword I died under." The eldest brother who took the lead said that he was going to kill himself.

Luo Qingzhi relented, but still scratched the man's neck.

"You don't have to, I will let you go." Luo Qingzhi said.

The eldest brother who took the lead smiled contemptuously, and it was already a little difficult to speak, "I, Cheng Ying, didn't do what my father entrusted me, how, how could it be possible, to live in the world." ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "It turned out to be the master of Cheng Ying Hall of Gale Wind Hall. ”

"You know me?" Cheng Ying was a little surprised.

Luo Qingzhi continued: "I also know that the man's favor to you is to release grain to help Jiangzhou. ”

Luo Chen said, "Master, someone is coming. ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "I don't have time to say more, Luo Chen, you left from the left door with a few people, and when I came in, the guards there were the loosest." ”

"Yes."

As soon as a few people left, the commander Lu Zheng walked in slowly.

"Yo, isn't this the Lord of Anning? Why, the county lord arrived, and no one informed me? Yang Zheng said.

Luo Qingzhi put the sword back into its sheath, "Lord Commander, it's really fast, there was such a big movement just now, where are you?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Movement? There was any movement just now, but Xia Guan didn't hear anything. "However, if you trespass into the edict, the lower officials will see it really."

Luo Qingzhi smiled contemptuously and did not answer, Yang Zheng continued, "Xia Guan also heard that you were not grounded in the mansion?" Oh, you came in against the decree, tsk, this, this official, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, still has to report truthfully. ”

"My lord is at my own convenience, so naturally I won't stop my lord from suing the emperor, but I also kindly remind my lord that it's also a sin to let go of the prison suspect?" Luo Qingzhi said.

Yang Zheng smiled and said, "What did the county lord say, my edict is indestructible, how can any suspect escape." ”

Luo Qingzhi was not in a hurry, and sorted out her clothes, "Just now I saw five suspects escaping from the east side door, I didn't expect that the prison guards were so lax, fortunately, I saw it, so I helped the adult and asked my subordinates to catch him." ”

Yang Zheng's face changed, he remained calm, and said softly: "The lower officials will find out, and the county lord doesn't need to scare me." ”

Luo Qingzhi continued, "I'm a person who doesn't like to waste time, and the last piece of advice, you, shut up, I won't say much." ”

Luo Qingzhi turned around and comforted Gao Zhen and said, "It's okay." ”

"You know, it's all dictated from above." Yang Zheng continued.

"Then who do you think your superior, between you and me, will choose, huh?" Luo Qingzhi's words were gentle, but Yang Zheng couldn't help but tremble.
