About half an hour later, on the official road one mile away from the gate of Liangzhou City, a man and a woman rode fast horses and rushed towards Liangzhou City.

It was Zhuang Zhiyu and Chang An.

But as they approached the gates, they stopped again.

"Phew!"

Chang An Lerma stopped, and Zhuang Zhiyu followed behind and stopped together.

"What's wrong, sir?"

I saw Chang An looking ahead, his face was solemn, not far ahead, more than a dozen people were lying in wait in the middle of the official road, there were mosquitoes and flies hovering above, and bursts of rancid smell came from the front.

"Yikes!"

When Zhuang Zhiyu saw this scene, she exclaimed, she had never seen such a scene, she unconsciously covered her mouth and nose, tears swirled in her eyes, she didn't really want to cry, but when she saw this scene, her tears didn't obey the call, not only that, but her body was constantly flooded with nausea.

Chang An patted her back, and the weak internal force passed from Chang An's palm into her body, gradually soothing her restless mood.

After a while, although she still couldn't look directly at the scene in front of her, her mood calmed down a bit.

Her hands pressed against her heaving chest, trying to ease herself.

"Mr. ......"

Zhuang Sleeveyu's eyes were still filled with tears, and he wanted to speak, but he just said two words, but he was already choked up and couldn't speak.

Chang An's hand was still on her back, looking at her gently.

The pain in his chest continued, but he regretted it more than this, looking at the corpses, his tone was weak but soft

"This is the real rivers and lakes, such things happen all the time."

Zhuang Sleeve Yu tried hard to wipe his tears, and on his stubborn face, he tried to squeeze out a smile

"Sir, I can do it."

Chang An smiled, withdrew his hand, and looked at the Liangzhou City Gate in front of him

"We've got to move on."

As he spoke, his gaze gradually became colder, and he glanced at the weeds on both sides of the official road, and said loudly

"Friends from the rivers and lakes, in Chang'an, Xiaqingzhou, I would like to come out and see you."

The tall weeds swayed in the wind, and after a while, no one answered him.

Chang An's face became more and more cold, and Zhuang Zhiyu looked around a little nervously, even she felt the unusual atmosphere here.

"Sir, there's someone in ambush here?"

Chang An nodded slightly

"Lend me a bow."

Zhuang Zhiyu obediently took off the red bow on his back and handed it to Chang An

"Sir, give."

Chang An took the red bow and said to her

"Don't move, I'll go and test it."

As he spoke, he rode his horse slowly

"Tuk Tuk ......"

On the official road, in addition to the sound of the wind, mosquitoes and flies, there is only the sound of Chang'an's horses' hooves.

Zhuang Zhiyu only felt that above this calm official road, there was boundless danger.

When Chang An walked to the corpse

"Whoosh!"

A cold arrow came suddenly, but when it was about to hit Chang An, it was too late and that it was fast, Chang An jumped up, but his toes lightly tapped the horse's back, and the whole body was as light as a swallow, and he turned two heels in the air, and easily avoided the cold arrow.

Zhuang Sleeve Yu's eyes were wide open, and her eyes never left Chang An for a moment, only to see Chang An in mid-air, leaning obliquely, but still able to bend the bow and arrow, and then, she clearly saw that outside Chang An's body, there was a light as thin jade.

"Wow!"

With just a slight pull, it is a full bow

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of breaking through the sky, the long arrow sank into the weeds next to the official road at an uncontrollable speed.

She didn't hear anything, but she could faintly see two drops of blood splattering through the weeds.

"Sir, that's amazing!"

Zhuang Zhiyu shouted excitedly.

The whole movement was only two breaths, Chang An had already landed firmly on the horse's back, squinting at both sides of the official road, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and the hearts of the people were swaying.

"Xiaoyu, come to me!"

Zhuang Zhiyu nodded excitedly

"Hmm!"

Zhuang Zhiyu drove to Chang An's side

"Follow me."

From where they were, to the gate of the city, it was only a hundred zhang away, but Zhuang Zhiyu felt that it was extremely long, and in the weeds swinging at any time on both sides of the road, it seemed that something terrible could come out at any time, but when he saw Chang An beside him, with indifferent and murderous eyes, he felt extremely safe.

Until the two men came to the city gates, there was no more danger.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Zhuang Zhiyu knew that Chang An was seriously injured after all, and at that moment, I was afraid that his wound would open again.

Chang An stared at the gate of the city at this time, and the box hanging in the middle waved his hand gently

"Out of the way."

Zhuang Zhiyu followed Chang An's gaze and also saw the box.

"What is this?"

Chang An frowned slightly

"Something that kills people."

Zhuang Zhiyu shuddered when she saw the blood oozing from the box, but she suddenly understood, and looked at both sides of the official road behind her

"Those people are here for it?"

Chang An nodded slightly.

didn't wait for the two of them to enter the city, but saw that in the city, the officers and soldiers of the brigade were patrolling the road, and at the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city looked at the two coldly

"Stop! What people! ”

Chang An said

"Qingzhou, Chang'an."

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were stunned, obviously, Chang'an's name had already resounded throughout the world, and they had naturally heard it.

The officers and soldiers defending the city looked at the two of them with wary expressions, and their hands unconsciously grasped the blades

"What are you doing here?"

Chang An laughed

"Why, do you have to ask so much detail when you enter the city now?"

The officers and soldiers defending the city said coldly

"Now the city is under martial law, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter the city!"

Chang'an Road

"Oh? What if I have to go into the city? ”

The expressions of the officers and soldiers defending the city changed greatly, and they tightened their blades in their hands, slightly unsheathed, and a big battle was about to break out.

Behind Chang An, the sound of drawing a bow came, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city looked back when they heard the sound, but saw a beautiful young girl, who was holding a longbow with a red body at this time, her face was like frost, and her eyes were indifferent.

The arrow feathers reflecting the light were on the string, and the snow-white lotus root arm was covered with a faint layer of mist.

"Wow!"

The arrow feather came out in response, but it was lighter than Chang An's previous arrow.

Just when the officers and soldiers defending the city had not yet drawn their blades, Zhuang Zhiyu's arrow had already hit the helmet of the leading officers and soldiers, and the top of the head of the officers and soldiers was cold, and they unconsciously touched their heads, but found that their heads were empty, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Bold!"

The officers and soldiers glared at Chang An and the others, and the blades in their hands were drawn, and the battle was about to break out.

"Stop!"

But inside the city gate, a coquettish sound came from afar.

The officers and soldiers looked back, but saw a young girl in a pothos shirt, riding a fast horse and hurrying over.

"Miss!"

When all the officers and soldiers saw the woman, they knelt down to greet her without hesitation.

Chang An looked at the girl and rushed to the city gate, the two of them were flushed, very cute, thinking that they were in a hurry, tired.

The girl looked at Chang An with a happy face, and quickly dismounted and ran to Chang An, like a little girl who saw an idol.

"Chang Daxia, little sister Zhao slowly, I've been waiting for Chang Daxia for a long time."

Chang An only felt dizzy, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, only to see him smile bitterly

"Miss Zhao, please find me a Langzhong."

As he spoke, his face instantly turned pale, and he fainted on the horse's back.

"Sir!"

"Chang Daxia!"

Zhuang Zhiyu and Zhao Slow exclaimed at the same time, fortunately, Zhao Slow was beside him at this time and supported him, otherwise, he might have fallen to the ground.

"Hurry up and invite Zhang Langzhong in the north of the city!"

Zhao slowly snorted and scolded the officers and soldiers behind him.

The officers and soldiers at the head quickly ordered two of their men to rush to the north of the city.

About two hours later, the sharp pain in his chest woke Chang An.

Chang An's face turned hideous, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Chang Daxia."

"Sir."

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhuang Sleeve Yu and Zhao slowly standing on the edge of the bed looking at him.

"Where am I?"

Zhao replied slowly

"This is the Joy Inn."

Feeling weak, he looked at his chest, which was wrapped in thick white gauze.

"The bleeding has stopped, thanks to this son's deep internal strength, even such a sharp flying knife has not been able to penetrate his heart, otherwise his life will be in danger."

Chang An saw an old man who looked like Lang Zhong, walked to the side of Zhuang Zhiyu and Zhao Huan, and held a flying knife in his hand, which was the same flying knife that pierced Chang An's chest before.

"Thank you, Zhang Langzhong."

Zhuang Sleeve Yu and Zhao slowly thanked each other.

Chang An knew that it was the old man in front of him who saved his life, so he clasped his fists and saluted

"Thank you, Zhang Langzhong."

Zhang Langzhong was not hypocritical, just nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Zhao slowly, and left by himself.

"Miss, if there is nothing else, Zhang will leave."

Zhao slowly looked at Zhang Langzhong gratefully, wanting to express his gratitude, but saw that Zhang Langzhong had left without looking back.

Chang An saw Zhang Langzhong's back and said

"What an interesting person, if you have the chance, you will definitely get acquainted."

But I heard Zhao say slowly

"Zhang Langzhong is a strange person, and his temper is very strange, but he is indeed a good person and has saved many poor people."

"Oh!"

Chang An heard this, but he became more and more interested in this Zhang Langzhong.

"Chang Daxia, you are injured, take a good rest today, and the little sister will come to you tomorrow."

Zhao said slowly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Chang An called out to her

"Miss Zhao, no need, you tell me the ins and outs of the matter first."

As he spoke, Chang An looked at Zhuang Zhiyu again

"Xiaoyu, help me sit up."

Zhao slowly hesitated, turned around again, and made it to Chang An's bedside

"Okay. Chang Daxia should have already passed the message through Xiaomei's flying pigeon and knew part of it. ”

Chang An nodded

"The letter said that your father, the city lord of Zhao, received a secret order from the palace, and Qu Fengzhi, the commander of the forbidden army, will escort something back to Beijing in a few days, passing through Liangzhou, and asking your father to cooperate with Qu Fengzhi, but because it is a secret order, he can't leak the news."

Zhao said slowly

"That's pretty much, it's just that Chang Daxia knows why I want to inform you of this news and bring you here."

Chang An spread his hands and looked at Zhao slowly with a smile

"Naturally, there was an accident in this matter."

Zhao nodded slowly, his expression solemn

"There was indeed an accident, in fact, a few days before my father received the secret order from the palace, he found that there were many more people in the city for no reason."

Chang An heard this and said

"After your father received the secret order, he felt that the appearance of these Jianghu people in the city was related to the mission of the palace."

Zhao slowly looked at Chang An's eyes, shining slightly

"That's true, we're not good at dealing with the Jianghu people, so we have to invite you here."

Chang An suddenly remembered the hanging box outside the city gate

"Well, this thing should be far from over."

Zhao slowly withdrew his gaze and continued

"Yesterday, Qu Feng went to Liangzhou City and stayed at the Yuelai Inn, which is here."

When Chang An heard this, he smiled, and by the way, he understood Zhao Wan's thoughts, no wonder he lived here as soon as he woke up.

Zhao slowly also knew that Chang An had seen her thoughts, and avoided Chang An's eyes a little shyly, and continued

"But before that, I got another message."

Chang'an Road

"Another message?"

Zhao said slowly

"It's the master who taught me martial arts, Fu Rushui, and he also returned to Liangzhou."

Chang An was surprised

"The Red Flame Spear Fu Rushui turned out to be your master?"

Zhao nodded slowly, but her face was a little gloomy, and when she talked about Fu Rushui, her eyes were a little red, and her voice was slightly trembling

"Before he became a grandmaster, he was a guest of honor in the City Lord's Mansion all the year round, and he has always taught me martial arts.

"It's just a year ago that the master left, saying that he needed to leave for a while for the sake of the deceased."

Chang An frowned slightly, for the sake of the deceased?

"You go on."

Zhao slowly continued

"But just the day before yesterday, I received a letter from my master, saying that he would return to Liangzhou tomorrow and live at the Yuelai Inn."

"I'm naturally happy, just ......"

Zhao said slowly, his face was already covered with pear blossoms and rain, and he couldn't cry.

Chang An gently patted her shoulder and said

"It's just that when you know that Qu Fengzhi also appeared at the Yuelai Inn, you feel that things are getting more and more difficult."

Zhao slowly wiped his tears and eased his mood

"If you combine it with the fact that a large number of Jianghu people appeared in the city a while ago, it can already be confirmed that this secret mission in the palace is no longer a secret, and my master is also involved."

So, I sent a squad of private soldiers and ambushed them outside the inn, waiting for what would happen. It's just that I didn't expect that the master would actually fight with Qu Fengzhi, and he easily died in Qu Fengzhi's hands......"

Zhao slowly sobbed slightly, and Chang An frowned

"It can't be."

This was Chang'an's first reaction

"Grandmaster-level masters, even if they want to kill people and get things, why would they choose to be in broad daylight and in such a crowded place in the inn."

Zhao slowly agreed with Chang An's statement

"When I entered the inn and saw the body of the master, I lost my mind. It was just Qu Fengzhi's reaction, but it surprised me even more. He didn't care to kill my master, but after seeing me, he even wanted to kill me, and asked me if my master was my father who went to kill him. I was half scared to death at the time, I forgot to report to my home, if it wasn't for my private soldiers to stop me, I'm afraid I really died under Qu Fengzhi's knife. ”

Chang An's expression became more and more solemn

"It's really weird, this Qu Feng is not a murderer, so why is he so crazy all of a sudden?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Zhao's slowly bright eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said

"Who knows what that madman is going to do."

Chang'an Road

"And then."

Zhao replied slowly

"But this morning, something even stranger happened."

Her eyes were fixed on Chang An and she said word by word

"Qu Fengzhi died in the inn."

Chang An was shocked

"What!"

Zhao slowly nodded solemnly

"Not only that, but his head was cut off, and he was missing, leaving only a headless body."

Chang An lowered his head and pondered for a long time, still feeling that this matter was incredible, in one day, in a small inn, two grandmasters died.

Zhao slowly saw that he didn't speak, so he continued

"And then, from this morning, above the gates of the city hung the boxes that ye had seen when you entered."
