Chapter 152: Hanging Pot (4)
Anyang County Prison.
Wang Biao was locked in shackles, and the residual nausea of poisoning was still stuck in his throat. He lay on his back and stared at the dark roof, recalling Tan Yun's cold appearance and condescending words, only to grit his teeth, hating to tear her apart.
He still underestimated this weak girl too much.
Wang Biao hated the root of his teeth, and at the same time waited for his next fate in fear. He thought that the nobleman who had revealed Tan Yun's whereabouts to him would not want him to fall into the hands of others, or he would keep him here until the people who had captured him in had forgotten him, and he could leave without noticing.
Either...... Kill him and kill him.
For the first time in his life, Wang Biao felt fear. These big guys don't keep a useless person who holds their own handle. He felt that he was far more likely to be killed than to be let go, after all, the mouth of the dead is the strictest.
If there is a person of high enough power who needs his witness, he has a chance of survival.
Wang Biao looked forward to it nervously.
A series of footsteps suddenly sounded, and Wang Biao sat up with difficulty, watching the man who was shrouded in a black cloak take out the key and open the door of the cell. The man couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but raised his hand and threw a key in front of him.
Wang Biao quickly picked it up and opened the shackles on his body.
"Let's go." The man deliberately lowered his voice.
"Are you...... Was the lord sent to save me? Wang Biao asked cautiously.
"The person who arrested you is the eldest lady of the Chu clan in the clouds, a well-known bastard in the imperial capital. If she wants to kill you today, your head won't be saved tomorrow. Why don't you hurry up and wait for her to lead Yu Linwei to trample you into a pulp? ”
The man left without looking back, Wang Biao didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly followed.
——
Inn.
"I'm sure these bandits are coming for you. Wang Biao knows your whereabouts well. Chu Shixia said truthfully.
Tan Yun was sad and incomprehensible, "My grandfather has been a prince for many years, and he has nothing to do with the interests of the DPRK and China. My father is just a Confucian student who teaches and educates people, and he has no intention of becoming an official. Who hates us for talking so far? ”
Chu Shixia shook his head and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes is not aimed at the Tan family, it's just that Miss Tan, you happened to come to Binzhou at this time." Binzhou is now a place of right and wrong. On the surface, it looks lifeless, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and I don't know how many people are wrestling their wrists in secret. ”
Tan Yun was stunned, "What do you mean, that person just wants to target King Qi who went to Binzhou and Gyeongju to quell the rebellion and provide disaster relief." ”
Chu Zhixia nodded and acquiesced.
Although Tan Shangshu, who has already returned to his hometown to retire, is not involved in party disputes, he has the posture of idle clouds and wild cranes. But when he was an official, his official reputation was extremely high, and the most praised people among the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty were Huo Jian'an of the Huo family in Jiangnan, and he was the second.
If Tan Yun ends up in Binzhou with a tragic and dirty ending, the official will definitely criticize Bai Ziche for his ineffective work. At that time, it is not known whether it will be blamed or replaced.
But whether this person is Bai Huan, who has lost the position of the prince, or Xu Delu, who has a ghost in his heart, Chu Shixia has no eyebrows.
"At such a juncture, such a big plague, you are still fighting to the death for this selfish gain, regardless of the dire situation of the Li people." Tan Yun was extremely disappointed and heartbroken, "Has Da Zhou reached such a point?" ”
Chu Shixia didn't answer, but said, "I heard that the doctor you hired wants to leave." ”
Tan Yun cheered up and replied to her: "Yes, after the catastrophe, there will be a great plague. Many places in Yanzhou were flooded a few years ago, but fortunately, the government organized manpower in time to prevent the plague from spreading. I hired experienced doctors, and they were also frightened, so I would just be able to calm them down later. ”
Chu Zhixia said firmly: "No, I will immediately send Yulin Guard to escort you back to Yanzhou." ”
Tan Yun was stunned.
"It's not safe here. I'm worried that someone will use you to stab King Qi, and I don't want you to die here. Chu Shixia said frankly, "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, the captured bandits will be pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded." You go out of town at that time, and I'll let my henchmen send you away, and no one will notice. ”
Tan Yun immediately refused: "No, I can't go." ”
Chu Zhixia frowned. When she didn't want to smile hippie, she always had the same anger on her face as Chu Mingxiu.
Tan Yun was not frightened, and insisted: "I can save people if I stay here, and I can save one by one." If I die, I will not drag others down. I will write down the life and death situation, and make it clear that it is my wish to stay in Binzhou, and I will never implicate His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
Chu Zhixia's twisted eyebrows slowly loosened, and he smiled helplessly, "You are really ...... Reminds me of a person. ”
Outside the post house, a surging shouting suddenly sounded, and Yu Linwei shouted: "What person? The frightened horses erupted in neighing, and the outside became a mess in an instant. Chu Zhixia's face changed, and he threw down Tan Yun and ran out.
Although the post house in Anyang County is poorly built, it is better than spacious. Chu Zhixia ran for a while before rushing to the gate, the one-and-a-half-height door was wide open, and the waiting Yu Linwei chased after him. Cheng Yuan stood in front of the door with a bow, and only when he saw her coming, did he direct the bow and arrow.
"What's going on?" Chu Zhixia asked.
"Two sneaky men approached the inn and ran away immediately when they were spotted." Cheng Yuan said, "One of them is the bandit leader of Baizhong Mountain, and he has already ordered someone to chase him." ”
Chu Zhixia's expression turned cold, took the bow from his hand, and said, "Go and lead Xue Cong." ”
——
Wang Biao ran wildly in the narrow and long alley, his heart beating wildly. The person leading him was as light as a swallow, and he was not far away from Wang Biao. Wang Biao vaguely sensed that something was wrong, why did this person deliberately lead him to the front of the post house for a turn?
He hesitated slightly, and the man in front of him turned to look at him.
As the man ran, his hood lifted slightly, revealing his face. This person has a flat head and a straight face, and at first glance it looks like he will be submerged in the blink of an eye if he is thrown into the crowd, but Wang Biao is a little frightened for some reason - this face is a little unnatural, as if it is painted on his face.
"What are you doing in a daze, run." The man pulled down his hood and said.
"Are you really here to save me?" Wang Biao stopped, and the sound of Yu Linwei's horse's hooves behind him was like thunder, "Who lives in that post house?" ”
"Naturally, she is the eldest lady of the Chu clan in the clouds." The man smiled, revealing his white teeth, "It's too troublesome to kill you in this way." However, the employer asked for it to be done without leaving a trace, and I couldn't help it. ”
Wang Biao ran back in horror.
The firelight at the mouth of the alley was like a spark in the thick darkness.
The tall snow-white fiery horse slashed into the alley like lightning, and the horse's Chu Shisha drew the bowstring, and the bowstring made of leopard tendons made a moan that was on the verge of collapse. Wang Biao stopped in fear, and in this short moment of hesitation, the arrow cluster tore through the air and let out a scream.
The feathered arrow hit the man in the left eye, and he rolled backwards to dodge, quickly pulling out the arrow and throwing it to the ground, hiding in the darkness.
Wang Biao's stagnant heartbeat only revived, and the joy of escaping death brought tears to his eyes. He rushed towards Chu Zhixia, sobbing and sobbing.
Chu Zhixia took the second arrow with an expressionless face.
"Don't kill me, it's-"
The cluster of arrows sank into Wang Biao's eyebrows, Chu Zhixia slowly lowered his hand, and the bowstring trembled.
"Murder pays for life, it is justified." Chu Zhixia didn't look at Wang Biao, who fell to the ground, turned his horse's head, looked at the county guard who was leading a large number of officials to Wu Yangyang, and smiled slightly at his shocked expression, "What does the county guard think?" ”
The county guard was shocked by the irrepressible killing aura on her body, and stumbled and said: "Ah, yes, yes, it is justified, and it is innocent to die." ”
Chu Zhixia sat firmly on Xue Cheng's back, pretended to bow down to him, beat the horse and left.
"Two chapters today!"
