"Brother Zhou, be careful, I'm afraid that someone will target you, and when you get off the boat, you must look for the government for protection."

A very simple but very straightforward sentence, it is obvious that Zhou Bai is thinking too much, yes, he is a little carp, and it has not yet reached the point where the dragon must recognize each other when he sees the dragon.

Zhou Bai silently clenched his fists, thanking Lu Ding for his kind reminder, but didn't say much.

Then he went straight off the boat and left, without even looking back at the "killers" who left with him.

On the deck, the old servant took the initiative to ask: "Young master, since you are optimistic about him, why don't you let the old man solve this trouble, I don't think the people who are eyeing him are not simple, they should be border veterans." ”

Lu Ding shook his head and said: "Just remind him, he doesn't want to send someone under the fence, even if he lives like this, we don't care about life and death." ”

The boat said that the two brothers were very ordinary, just country boys in the north, but why was he irritable for no reason.

After getting off the boat, Zhou Bai still didn't care about the group of people around him, but was thinking about the experience of coming all the way.

Not to mention that it is unlucky to encounter such an incident as a Jiaoqun riot, after all, more than a dozen dragon ships have encountered it.

And Yu Ling and Ma Liang, it is normal for them to meet on the way to the exam, but it is unusual to meet the two brothers Yao Ping and Yao An, because he chose several times and allowed him to successfully accept two talents.

This is also the case when I meet Lu Ding, can a state hidden dragon be so easy to meet? and the Zhao family who are eyeing him and want to get rid of him, these karma will be really wonderful.

Destiny, Luck, Rules...... It can only be said that under the influence of various factors, Zhou Bai is facing his own challenges and choices.

Of course, he seemed to be one step ahead this time, and the two brothers of the Yao family were clearly the auxiliary ministers of the given West Qianlong Dragon, but he directly cut off Hu in advance.

But are those secretly rats who have thoughts about him not worthy of being called the cause and effect that sets their fate?

At this time, it was getting late, and the last of the carriages of the carriage and horse company had already left on the road to the state capital, and Yu Ling and Ma Liang left in one of the carriages, and they needed to leave on time to reach the next stop for the night.

Zhou Bai either chose to stay in Jixi City, or buy a horse to walk alone at night.

Yes, in order to screen Weizhou City, Dingzhou chose to build a Jixi City in Jixi Port, which is not as good as those fortified cities, but it can leave enough time for the cities behind to prepare.

Moreover, in the Ningjiang Water War, Jixi City can also be used as an important defense base for the water division and can be used as a transshipment granary.

If there is nothing to do today, Jixi City is naturally used as a civil use, and it is brightly lit all year round, but it is more prosperous after sunset.

Zhou Bai walked and walked, and suddenly accelerated on the road, blending into the crowd, and it was really difficult to find him from all kinds of noisy ports.

The person who has been hanging around and watching is dumbfounded, is this already exposed?

Soon after, in the grove outside Jixi City, a group of killers dressed in night clothes also got the news.

If there were a bitter guard, they would be very surprised to see their faces, isn't this the companion who was punished and expelled some time ago?

"Bastard, why don't you just do it on the ship?" The leader angrily reprimanded his subordinates.

The subordinate was a little unconvinced and said: "Zhao Gongzi, you said it yourself, you can't startle the snake without absolute certainty, that kid doesn't know how everyone on the ship knows him, and there is almost no room to start." ”

The last rays of the sunset happened to shine into the forest, and the leader under the orange light was Zhao Liangji, who actually led people to ambush Zhou Bai in person.

"You're ......!" Zhao Liangji was furious, and he dared to contradict him like this.

However, he is not sober, but the cronies around him are very sober, these soldiers and his Zhao family are only cooperative relations, and the only one who can really order them is the one above.

Under the reminder of his cronies, Zhao Liangji calmed down and turned his head to ponder how to complete this task.

Their Zhao family had murderous intent against Zhou Bai, because this person was too good, and it was almost foreseeable that the Zhou family would replace the Zhao family's position in Pingcang.

But the father and son of the Zhao family never thought that they would do such a desperate job, but the one above was urging more and more urgently.

They need to take control of the bitter pass immediately, and try to arrange an obedient county order to calm the cang.

But he was stared at by Ji Hongze again, and it was difficult to intervene for a while, and in the end this became a problem, squeezing out Ji Hongze.

As for how to squeeze out and isolate the dignity of a county and let him go, there is a precedent to follow, which will hit his prestige, make his new policy fail, and let the whole county family unite against him.

Based on this, the importance of Zhou Bai is highlighted, as long as he is eliminated, the Zhou family will inevitably retreat, and Ji Hongze will face the pressure of the new deal.

Of course, the key is that now they can get rid of Zhou Bai in the name of that person, and someone will finish it anyway.

The Heavenly Court and the Imperial Court attached great importance to the imperial examination, but this was relative.

For the heavenly court, the examination and the palace examination are the most important, and for the imperial court, it is important to be able to be the foundation of the imperial court.

As a scholar, Xiucai should also pay attention, but in fact, Xiucai who has an accident every year often does not make too many waves.

And Jin Juren and Yin Jinshi, when Zhou Bai became a Juren and then made a move, it was really a slap in the face of the court.

The past historical experience tells the Zhao family that they can't wait any longer, this is a talent recognized by Pingcang as a fellow jinshi, and he is almost nine out of ten sure.

"Wait, keep waiting, this week Bai is bold and likes to rush the night."

"If you miss this opportunity, the person above won't be in the bottom line."

After Zhao Liangji made up his mind, the grove fell into silence again, and a pair of eyes inside stared directly at the official road not far away.

Whether it is the Zhao family or this group of soldiers without identity, if they want to be dogs, they must do a good job of what their masters have explained.

Otherwise, not only will there be no bones, but even death will be the lightest punishment.

After a long, long time, when the people in the forest were hungry and gnawing on cold steamed buns, a news finally came from Jixi City.

Zhou Bai was really as Zhao Liangji expected, after he had eaten and drunk enough in Jixi City, he bought a yellow-maned horse and hurried overnight.

What is this habit?

There is still more than half a month in the autumn season, what is he anxious about, how good it is to rest and travel during the day.

Normal people will be like this, and so will Zhou Bai, but he doesn't walk at night, how can it be convenient to kill?

Yes, he figured it out, the causal calamity of the main world did not take into account the factors outside the field, and Zhou Bai now happened to have the soul power of the Qingming Realm obtained in the other world.

"Shangguan Road, lying on his stomach, let's go, get ready!"

"Report, that kid didn't go to the official road, it seems to be coming straight to our side!" Soon another puzzling news came.

Could it be that he wants to spend the night in the woods? No, he's going to fight.

After all, he is still a showman, Zhao Liangji quickly figured out the logic inside, could it be that the lieutenant on his body gave him confidence.

But no matter what, even if you learn some martial arts and archery, you can still fight against the siege of more than 30 old soldiers?

"Underestimating the enemy, arrogance, arrogance!" Zhao Liangji's face was distorted and he ordered to fight.

His arrangement here is enough to destroy any master in the army, even the general on the battlefield will not be able to escape!

Soon, these old soldiers immediately scattered to all corners of the woods, and they were armed with bows, arrows, ropes, hidden weapons, and even strong crossbows, which was to ensure that nothing was lost.

It's night again, only this time there is a bright moon and stars.

Zhou Bai rode a yellow-maned horse and walked through the bright moonlight, which can almost be said to be an open-minded inrush into the grove.

Because it was so weird, the ambush men were a little confused before he stepped into the woods

Zhao Liangji even wanted to ask, is there any secret information to talk about, or the Zhou family wants to take refuge?

However, when a muffled snort sounded in the dark shade of the trees, Zhao Liangji knew that something was wrong and ordered to besiege and kill with all his might.

Arrows missed, crossbows, and hidden weapons were fired, but the sound of their own people falling continued to be heard.

Zhao Liangji was going crazy in the middle of the forest, and several cronies and guards were also frightened, this time it was not an ordinary enemy!

In a few moments, no one of the old soldiers answered them, and it was time for the ......

Bang, bang......

One after another, the guards didn't even see Zhou Bai's shadow, so they fell to the ground silently.

"Childe, run, the other party is a monk...... Belch. ”

Hearing the shocked words of the last cronie, Zhao Liangji gave up, and he knelt on the ground with a snap, begging bitterly.

"Let me go, whether you are Zhou Bai or not, let me go."

"I am friends with the young master of the Chen family, our Zhao family has a backer, and our Zhao family has a monk......

Yet no matter how pitiful his wailing was, not a voice listened to him.

So Zhao Liangji became hysterical and resentful, and the more he shouted, the more afraid he became, for fear that he would die suddenly and silently, just like everyone before, not all of them would die with a cup of tea.

Finally, his psychological defense collapsed: "What do you want, you say, I'll give it all to you, tell you everything!" ”

"Who is above your Zhao family, the sixth prince or the fifth prince?"

This cold questioning voice made Zhao Liangji see a glimmer of hope, but he was extremely shocked: "How do you know that you are not Zhou Bai!" ”

"It's the sixth prince, it's he who wants to control Pingcang, if you kill me, no matter who you are, you won't be able to bear the revenge of Tianhuang's noble stomach."

"Hahaha, you're scared, why don't you ......"

Before he could say the words, Zhao Liangji's eyes suddenly turned white, and he fell straight down, dying quietly.

Walking out of the corner slowly, Zhou Bai sighed and whispered: "Alas, there are too many words, I don't bother to ask." ”

Half an hour later, a young man in white who had not been stained with a trace of blood came out of the forest, still riding the yellow-maned horse, and still thinking about the stack of gold leaves he had just collected.

Three hundred taels of gold, sure enough, people have no windfall and no wealth.

But in the next poem, he must go all out.

If you want the court to withstand the pressure of the six princes for him, you must have a person to protect himself, even if he is self-defense.

Regardless of others, Zhao Liangji is also famous.

But the name he wants to take is Dingzhou Xie Yuan, in front of Xie Yuan, one is a dead Xiucai, and if he dies, he will die.

Even if you compare Xie Yuan with a prince who has a high probability of being released to the domain in the future, everyone in the state government knows how to choose, no matter how much the six princes want to break the situation now, they will not be able to take his turn according to the order.

As long as Zhou Bai wants to take Pingcang as his foundation, it is inevitable that he will be against the Zhao family and the six princes.

Killing a Zhao Liangji now will solve the cause and effect of intercepting Hu Tian's Destiny Hidden Dragon, which is good.

One man, one horse, one round of bright moon, is the only scenery on the straight road in this state.

Who has nothing to do at night?
