The morning sun has a hot and dry temperature, and the news of Su Houye's assassination spread in the city yesterday, and the already cold streets are now less pedestrians in the city, and patrolling officials and soldiers can be seen everywhere.

Su Lie came out of the prison in Ding'an City, threw his coat to the coachman, grinned and showed his white teeth, and his eyebrows were filled with anger.

"I can't take care of this thing, and let the thief take the opportunity to escape from prison......"

He gritted his teeth and scolded, turned around and slapped the cell boss in the face who bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, "Forget about the prison escape, you will kill people, if you don't know that you are from Ding'an, I will slash you." ”

The cell boss blushed and swollen his five fingers on one side, and he lowered his head and said softly: "That assassin is good at martial arts, can endure the pain, and has been pretending, and when he changed the torture equipment, he gave him a chance." ”

"Get out!"

Su Lie didn't bother to listen to his explanation, turned around and left, the coachman jumped down and asked him to get in the car, but he was also pushed away by Su Lie, the only clue was broken, he was upset, so he strode into the street, and the clusters of guards behind him followed closely, vigilant of the attic houses on both sides.

On another street not far away, the carriage without any sign quietly crossed hands with them, and drove to the west market of Ding'an City, where all kinds of snacks and refreshments on both sides of the once downtown were noisy, and there were still many people hurriedly walking on the street, to the nearby wine shops, teahouses and gossip about the assassination of Su Houye.

Soon, a horse-drawn carriage drove into this street and stopped in the alley next to a wine shop, and the sloppy-looking guard Thirteen opened the curtain and carried Su Chen out of the car to the back door of the wine store.

A man with a leper head had been waiting in the door for a long time, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen the little marquis." Then he walked at the side door and led the way.

The aisle is narrow and dirty, and there are a lot of wine jars piled up, but fortunately, the aisle is not too long, and the view becomes wider after walking out of here.

In the lobby of the wine shop, there were many figures in different costumes, craftsmen with patches of clothes, skillful pinching candy figures, and women's dresses exposed, left and right among the men, and occasionally there were shouts and screams from the attic, followed by a few babbling sounds, as if fighting.

The leper head who walked in front stopped at a door, then pushed the door open and stepped aside: "Little Hou Ye, people are inside." ”

"Thirteen, reward."

Su Chen said lightly, stepped into the threshold, the room was simply furnished, a round table, a bed, two men were sitting in front of the corner screen drinking tea, and when they saw the figure coming in, they hurriedly got up and bowed their hands to greet them.

"Meet the little marquis!" One of them, a tall man with a big beard and a black tunic robe, straightened up, invited Su Chen to sit down opposite, and then introduced a tall and thin man with a somewhat obscene face beside him.

"Little Hou Ye, this is Li Piehu."

After saying this briefly, the cheeky man went out with Thirteen to close the door, leaving only Su Chen and Zhu Gongdao, as well as the thin man, who knew Su Chen's identity, and sat down in a restrained manner after Su Chen laid him down with his hand.

Su Chen took the teacup handed by Zhu Gongdao and blew the tea stalk floating at the mouth of the cup, "Tell me your news." ”

"Go back to the little marquis."

Li Piehu stretched out his hand to take the tea handed by the green-shirted guard, held it in his hand and did not rush to drink it, as if he was brewing words, and only spoke after a while.

"The little one wandered among the homeless people yesterday morning, and I wanted to see if I could find something profitable, and I happened to see those four ......."

Su Chen spit out the tea leaves in his mouth, "To get to the point, do you remember the appearance of the four assassins who came into contact with them?" And where did it go? ”

"The little one can't do anything, but the ability to remember people is God's reward for eating, and the little one has already told the Chen gang leader to get the portrait right."

The Chen gang leader in his mouth is the cheeky man who went out just now.

Su Chen saw his hands rubbing his hands in front of his sleeves, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well done, you should know that I never treat the brothers below harshly, a hundred taels of reward, and the expenses of the drunken flower building will be paid by me within a month." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Li Piehu didn't even dare to say in his mouth, but he was happy in his heart, the little marquis's reward was never low, nor was it bad, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and he saw that the four people were sneakily connecting with people, and then how the people who connected left and how he followed, all of them were 1510.

Su Chen frowned: "How do you recognize that they have a problem?" ”

"The little marquis doesn't know anything, the little one is very accurate in looking at people, this is the ability to eat. What's more, outsiders have never worshiped the church, and the three sects and nine streams in our city have to be watched, who knows that the blind cat just happened to meet the dead ......"

Seeing that Su Chen's face sank, the man realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped himself on the mouth.

"Little Hou Ye, don't blame, the slut can't speak."

"How many people are following? Where did they end up? Su Chen patiently continued to ask.

"I went to Chenjiazhuang, which is ten miles away, and when I got there, I didn't continue to follow, and I kept watch for two hours, and I didn't see them come out."

As soon as Li Piehu finished speaking, Su Chen, who was on the other side, had already gotten up and opened the door and walked out, turning his head towards the man known as the Chen Gang Leader and saying, "Pay one hundred taels for me to this person, and I will make up for you later." ”

"Where does the little marquis say, a hundred taels is a lot, the little marquis walks slowly!"

The Chen gang leader waved his hand with a smile and watched Su Chen and the three of them leave from the back door, and Li Piaohu's facial features on the side were squeezed together, "The little marquis is not as fierce as he said outside, and the people are weird." ”

"Hmph, that's because you didn't commit it to him!"

Here, Su Chen got into the carriage from the back door of the wine shop, and ordered the thirteenth to drive away and drive to the eastern suburbs.

The official road was not smooth, the wheels drove through potholes, Su Chen sat in the rickety carriage with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, constantly analyzing information in his head.

Why did the Assassins attack Su Congfang?

Obviously, he came to the Hou Mansion, with his own observation of this cheap father, he has no great ability, guarding Ding'an City is already the limit, and he has not been to the court for many years, and he has no official position, so it is impossible to have a conflict with people in political affairs.

"You say, why are these assassins, or the people behind them, here?"

Su Chen asked the next side to Zhu Gongdao, in fact, he really wanted to return to the Hou Mansion to ask Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, after all, he was a person who had been the emperor, and he had some opinions about conspiracies and tricks.

But now, he must rush to Chenjiazhuang as soon as possible and find the person who connects with the assassins, so that the other party still has a backhand.

"Nothing but profit, nothing else."

Zhu Gongdao sat cross-legged on one side, the iron spear was flat behind him, and said lightly: "Master Su Hou will not let the people of the green forest risk assassination. ”

"I'll just take you as a compliment."

The carriage turned along the official road to a small road, after ten miles, you can see the Chenjiazhuang standing at the foot of the mountain, the Zhuangzi is not more than 30 households, there is a fence outside to guard against wild beasts in the mountains, the dirt road on both sides of the past is the reclaimed field, the drought for two months, the crops in the field have been withered yellow, many people in the Zhuangzi have gone to Ding'an City to wait for help, the rest of the villagers sit on the ridge of the field and look at the cracked field with tortoise, just glance at the carriage that comes.

"Old man." The carriage stopped, Su Chen lifted the curtain, revealing half of his face, "Can you ask one thing, is there a temple or something like that in the village?" ”

The old farmer drooped his eyes, raised his chin casually, and signaled the direction over there.

"There's a mountain temple somewhere, but it's in tatters, and no one has repaired it."

"Thank you."

Su Chen thanked him, and when the curtain was lowered, the smile on his face converged, turned cold, and glanced at Zhu Gongdao and Thirteen, and then the carriage continued to move forward and stopped at a hidden position nearby.

"Wait until it gets dark...... said a cold voice in the carriage.

The sun was tilting, shining on the shadow of the mountain on another mountain, and the sky was gradually darkening, and in the mountains and forests not far from this silent Zhuangzi, there was a faint fire lit in the temple that had fallen into disrepair.

There were three people sitting around the campfire, half a small wild boar emitting an enticing scent, and one of them was holding a book and writing something on it.

The other two were tall men, with muscular arms, one with a scar on his forehead, and the other with a fierce face, the flickering light of the fire shining on them like two crouching beasts.

There was a wind blowing in outside.

One of the men got up and walked outside, looked at the shadows of the trees that shook around him, walked to the bushes outside the temple, and unbuckled his trousers.

Rushing~~

In the sound of the water that drew a trajectory, a figure slowly approached the grass not far away, stepping on the fallen leaves with gentle steps, making a slight 'click' sound.

The man tilted his head sharply: "Who! ”

The hanging treetops slammed open, a long shadow whistled, the man's eyes widened, the moment he turned his head to dodge, the whistling sound of the wind in his robe swept in an instant, and at the same time that the flying spear was nailed to the big tree and vibrate, the figure of the pounced figure smashed the man's face door with his fists wildly, followed by crazy punches and kicks.

The two people in the broken temple heard the movement, each took the weapon next to him and stood up, and the moment he walked to the temple gate, the companion who had just gone out to pee flew like a cannonball, and the attacking figure grabbed the iron spear inserted in the big tree, pulled it out violently, and pushed it towards them frantically with a flick of the gun.

The fierce-faced man pushed away his companion beside him, and a steel knife in his hand stepped in front of him, and the figure pushing the gun stepped on the stone steps, and the head of the gun was against the knife surface, and the sparks splashed out.

The man kept the posture of the knife, was forced into the temple, slammed into the bonfire, the burning dead branches flew all over the sky, and half of the roast wild boar also fell to the ground.

The man who was pushed away rushed forward with a knife, and in the flying sparks, the spear in Zhu Gongdao's hand rotated, whistling and waving, sweeping his shoulder and neck, and flying it out horizontally, hitting the loose courtyard wall, and the entire wall was convex to the outside, revealing the veins of mud bricks.

The fierce man holding the knife rushed across the remaining fire at this time, and the moment Zhu Gongdao's back was chopped down, the roof collapsed, and the thirteen broke open the roof and fell straight down, and the sword light pulled out a long cold light, extending the tail of the vertebrae along the top of the fierce man's head.

An instant.

A blood mark appeared on the top of the man's head from the center of his eyebrows, which quickly spread to the vertebrae, and the next moment, it directly turned into two petals and separated left and right, and the organs and flesh and blood suddenly fell to the ground.

The rest of the man got up from the corner and rushed straight outside, slapping him in the face and flying backwards.

Su Chen walked over with his sword, flicked his wrist, and waved it at the two people who chased out.

"Break his leg!"

Yes!

The terrible screams suddenly resounded through the ruined temple, the man rolled on the ground with his two legs broken by the handle of the gun, and Thirteen walked up to him and squatted down, took out something from the other party's arms, and handed it to Su Chen.

It's a note, and a booklet.

Su Chen casually flipped through the booklet, and there was a list of names on it, some of which he was familiar with, such as several generals in Ding'an City.

Could it be the other side's assassination roster?

Are the officials and generals in Ding'an City here?

Su Chen immediately took the note, and there was only a short line on it: Shen Shi is depressed, and he will kill the ape when he is young.

Shen time?

Su Chen's face suddenly sank, this hour is the time period when Su Congfang was assassinated yesterday, so kill the ape again, the surname Yuan in the city?

Think about it again, ape, Hou?

"The roster is full of people you want to kill?" Su Chen turned his gaze and motioned for justice to bring the person over. The latter gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, still not saying a word.

Boom!

The man was thrown back to the ground by Su Chen, thinking that something might happen at home, he didn't have time to interrogate, turned around and left, Zhu Gongdao raised his hand and stuck a gun in the man's mouth, pierced into the dirt through the back of his neck, and then pulled out the head of the gun and followed behind.

"They may have to act tonight, there must be a lot of people who dare to storm the Hou Mansion, I wish justice, you are fast, take the first step to rush back!"

Su Chen returned to the place where the carriage was hidden, cut the reins with a sword, and let Thirteen ride the horse, while he turned over and sat in the back, "Let's go to the barracks, today is Duan Hong on duty, let him lead the troops into the city with us!" ”

Zhu Gongdao arched his hand silently, turned around and jumped up, stepped on the eaves of the thatched house nearby, and jumped again, stepping on the swaying branches and leaves of the woods, and the figure disappeared in a few moves.

And here, Thirteen drove the horse and quickly whipped towards the military camp stationed in the southeast of Ding'an, Su Chen sat on the horse, tried his best to stabilize his figure, touched the roster in his hand, and felt uneasy in his heart.
