Zhao Tong sat cross-legged opposite Xiang Ye, who had passed out, and after a while, seeing that Xiang Ye had not woken up, he said to the warriors on the left and right: "Hang him here, and we will continue the trial tomorrow, I don't believe that I can't get anything out of his mouth about Li You's rebellion!" ”

The black shadow in the dark was straight, tightly attached to the wall, when Zhao Tong and the others left, the black shadow hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, as if he wanted to rush into the room to save Xiang Ye, but finally retracted his steps, and several jumped out of the wall and disappeared into the vast night.

In the county guard mansion in Xingyang City, two rows of oil lamps are lined up on both sides of the lobby, illuminating the hall brightly, Li You sits on the first seat of the main hall, and his expressionless face is bright and dark in the lights.

On the right side of Li You's head sat a woman with her hair in a high bun and wearing deep clothes like a man, the reason why she is a woman is because her facial features are small and exquisite, although she can see that she is not short when she sits there, but the delicate facial features make her exude a delicate aura from her bones.

The woman sat with her head bowed, her teeth clenching her lower lip, her brow furrowed as if she was contemplating something.

The three of them didn't speak, but Li You glanced out of the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Lord Gunjo!" The two people in the hall were silent, and a black shadow flashed into the lobby, this black shadow was dressed in a short dress similar to that of Chi Xue'e when he was a businessman, and when the three of them heard the voice, he had not seen who was coming, he was already half-kneeling in front of Li You.

"Is Xiang Zhuangshi in Zhao Tong's Mansion?" As soon as he saw the black shadow appear, Li You couldn't wait to ask.

"Lord Yujun Shou, Xiang Zhuangshi is indeed in Zhao Tong's Mansion." The black shadow half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "The subordinates also found out that Zhao Tong tried to use him to create the crime of rebellion against the county guards, but Xiang Zhuangshi scolded Zhao Tong all the time, which made Zhao Tong very boring. ”

"Ugh!" Li You nodded, the look on his face soothed a little, and said to the black shadow: "Since you found the place where Xiang Zhuangshi was being held, why didn't you rescue him?" ”

"Xiang Zhuangshi's two arms were broken, and his subordinates thought again and again, and they couldn't rescue him safely, so they withdrew alone and waited for the adult's order!" The black shadow lowered his head and said to Li You: "After Zhao Tong broke Xiang Zhuangshi's two arms, he also ordered someone to torture him to extract a confession, at first his subordinates could still hear the strong man's muffled snort, but later it was silent, but from Zhao Tong's words when he left, 'I will continue to extort confessions tomorrow' I heard that Xiang Zhuangshi is not worried about his life for the time being!" ”

Li You lowered his head and groaned after listening to the report of the black shadow, and the woman sitting next to him raised her head and said to him: "Li Junshou, if it weren't for Xiang Zhuangshi's chance to stop Zhao Tong today, I'm afraid I have been caught by that dog thief, please Lord County Shou must rescue him!" ”

"Huh." After the woman spoke, Li You smiled and said to her: "Meng Su, in the past, I worshiped with Gongzi Fusu in front of your grandfather, the old general Meng Tian, to learn the art of war, and today I will call you a virtuous niece." Since you came to me for refuge, I have always treated you as my own son, and told you not to go out in the past, but you didn't listen, if it wasn't for Xiang Zhuangshi, who also disobeyed your advice, to stop Zhao Tong this time, how would you let me explain to your father and the old general Meng Tian? ”

Li You's words lowered Meng Su's head, she blushed with shame, her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks, which made her already petite and delicate facial features even more charming.

"It's also a shame that he saved you, otherwise I wouldn't have turned against Zhao Tong because of him." Li You pursed his lips and smiled, and then said: "The person who saved my mentor's granddaughter is the person who saved my Li You, and this time I naturally want to rescue him from Zhao Tong." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to the man in black: "Li Feng, you go to Zhao Tong's mansion again immediately, bring a few more people, and be sure to find Xiang Zhuangshi!" You don't have to save people, just put a fire there, and I'll take someone to pick them up! ”

The man in black answered, turned around and retreated towards the door, his feet just retreated to the door, his body was vertical, and he disappeared into the vast night with a "whoosh".

"Is the county guard planning to turn against Zhao Tong?" Meng Su saw that Li You's face was very solemn, and said with some concern: "Now that Zhao Gao is targeting the Li family everywhere, and the prime minister is still walking on thin ice in the court, if the county guard is against Zhao Tong, I am afraid that Zhao Gao will be even more villainous." ”

Li You smiled bitterly, sighed and said to Meng Su: "I don't know that Zhao Gao is now powerful in the court, but because His Majesty ignores the government all day long, and all affairs are handled by Zhao Gao, my father has no way, so he will end up in today's situation, and our Li family will be very worried in the future, if there is a better place to go, you had better leave Xingyang to be safe!" As for whether I am against Zhao Tong, it will not play a key role in the decline of the Li family in the future, it is nothing more than to leave an excuse for Zhao Gao. ”

When Li You said these words, Meng Su lowered her head and never answered, she still remembered the will that after the second emperor ascended the throne, he ordered his sons Fusu and Meng Tian to commit suicide by poisoning. Fusu committed suicide at the behest of the order, but Meng Tian did not believe that the second would give such a will, refused to take the poison and finally ended up in ruin, only she fled from the north under the cover of a group of generals under Meng Tian and came to Xingyang to join Li You.

What she didn't expect was that Zhao Gao actually got the news quickly and let Zhao Tong lead people to chase here.

Although Zhao Tong is a greedy person for wine, he still has some ability, after entering Xingyang, although Li You covered up her signs in the county guard mansion everywhere, he still found the clues. This time, she was targeted by Zhao Tong's subordinates just after leaving the county guard mansion, if it wasn't for Xiang Ye who was killed in the sky, I am afraid that she should be abused in Zhao Tong's mansion.

"Alright, you can rest early!" Li You stood up, threw a word to Meng Su and left the main hall without looking back.

Night is the best time to save people, while Zhao Tong has not forced Xiang Ye to say his words of rebellion, he can still use strong means to rescue Xiang Ye, if it is too late for Xiang Ye to withstand torture and torture, even he can only watch Zhao Tong escort Xiang Ye to Xianyang for investigation.

A team of heavily armed Qin soldiers stood in the courtyard of the county guard's mansion, and a woman looked at this group of Qin soldiers from a distance, this woman was none other than Chi Xue'e, who came to Xingyang with Xiang Ye.

When she got the news that Xiang Ye was arrested by Zhao Tong, she was also very worried, but she didn't ask Li You to save Xiang Ye, she knew that with her identity, she would not be able to influence whether Li You could save people or not.

All she could do was to wait for Xiang Ye to wait and wait for Li You to make up her mind to save people. She had already made a plan, if she couldn't wait for the result, she would sneak into Zhao Tong's mansion alone to rescue Xiang Ye.

It's not that Chi Xue'e thinks things simply, but she has to think things simply. If it weren't for Xiang Ye, I'm afraid she wouldn't have come here alive. She was trading with people from all walks of life, not only with her pretty face and dedication, but also with her heart that put righteousness first.

If Xiang Ye encounters danger and she ignores it, then she will no longer be Chi Xue'e, and she will no longer be qualified to walk in the world.

Fortunately, Li You did not disappoint her, a team of hundreds of Qin troops lined up in a neat line in the county guard, and now the righteous army did not enter Sanchuan County, except for rescuing Xiang Ye, she couldn't think of any other tasks for these Qin troops.

Li You stood in front of the Qin army with his sword in his hand, his eyes wandered around Qin Jun's body, and his white face was reflected red by the torch in Qin Jun's hand.

"Soldiers, now Xiang Liang is raising troops in Chudi, the momentum is far greater than that of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the beginning, we must strengthen our vigilance, beware of the attack of robbers at night, and today we will wake everyone up from their sleep, in order to strengthen night patrols, and I hope that everyone will not take this matter as a small matter, and be more careful!" Seeing that hundreds of Qin troops had already lined up, Li You raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the gate and ordered in a loud voice: "Go!" ”

Hundreds of Qin troops marched towards the city in a neat procession, and the city was dark, only the guard post at the city gate was still lit by the light of a torch.

These torches were inserted at the city gate for lighting, and the Qin troops on duty on the city wall at night would change them regularly until dawn.

Li You led hundreds of Qin troops straight to the east of the city, and after nightfall, the streets of Xingyang were quiet, and there was not even half a figure. It is no wonder that even before the siege of Zhang Chu's army, when Xingyang had a large population, the people would return to their homes to rest after dark, not to mention that after months of siege and a lot of losses among the people in the city, it was even more natural that the streets would be deserted.

In Zhao Tong's residence, a group of white-clad warriors walked back and forth in the courtyard with torches, perhaps because there had been no accidents for a long time, and they seemed a little careless when they walked around.

Right under their noses, several men in black lay dormant in the grass. When the group of warriors walked away, the leading man in black waved behind him, and several figures jumped out with a "whoosh".

Xiang Ye's hands were hanging from the hemp rope, his two toes were on tiptoe, and he tilted his head and was already unconscious.

The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and a man in black tiptoed into the room, and the man in black made a gesture to several men in black outside, and several men in black outside ran in one after another, and took out half of a wooden stick wrapped in sackcloth from his arms.

The linen cloth was drenched with greasy grease, and the man in black stretched the sticks wrapped in the linen cloth to the oil lamp in the room, and soon the sticks were on fire.

The man in black in the lead gestured, and the man in black who entered the room nodded and jumped out of the door.

When these people entered the room, Xiang Ye, who was unconscious, didn't feel anything at all, he just lowered his head and hung his hands high on the beam as if he was dead.
