It's still late at night, but it's impossible to fall asleep.

Yue Lao said: "County Lord, the puppet emperor's minions are in hot pursuit, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to rush overnight tonight, and arrive in Yingshui County as soon as possible, so that you can meet with the reinforcements." ”

The Dongyang County Lord lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked Qin Sang, "Young Master Qin, according to your understanding, how many killers has Jiangshan Tower gathered in the Three Witch City?"

Qin Sang said cautiously: "As far as I know, there are nearly thirty people. ”

The county lord of Dongyang nodded, "Let's count thirty killers, two of whom were killed by Qin Gongzi, but only ten people appeared this time, which shows that our whereabouts have not been completely revealed, and the killers of Jiangshanlou are either divided into troops, or most of them are killed by Granny Li." Elder Yue, what if we turn back to Sanwu City overnight?"

Yue Lao was shocked when he heard this, "The county lord must not, the Three Witch City is already the land of tigers and wolves, and the Zhenshui King is very likely to take refuge in the puppet emperor." The other guards were all assassinated, only a few of us were left, in case of siege, even if we fought to the death, it would be difficult to ensure that the county lord was safe, and I couldn't explain to the prince!"

The county lord of Dongyang smiled slightly, "If you want to achieve great things, how can you spare your life?" Even Elder Yue, you don't dare to let me return to Sanwu City, the puppet emperor's minions will definitely not think of it." As for the King of Zhenshui, I don't think he may have taken refuge in the puppet emperor, otherwise the puppet emperor wouldn't have to make such a shady trick. ”

Without waiting for Elder Yue to speak again, the county lord of Dongyang shook his head, "Elder Yue doesn't need to persuade again, I have already made up my mind." Commander Bai, you and Zhou Huwei rode the same horse, with a broken arm, and quickly returned to Sanwu City, there is an imperial doctor in the Zhenshui King's Mansion, maybe you can replant your severed limbs. ”

Bai Jianglan hurriedly responded: "Yes!"

The horse is still there, the lord of Dongyang County, as a woman, is not the slightest delicate, turned over on the horse, all the way without stopping, until the early hours of the morning, saw the north gate of the Three Witch City.

Sure enough, there was no killer of Jiangshanlou on the way.

The north gate is the same as the south gate, there is also a side door open, Qin Sang is familiar with the door, and helps the Dongyang county lord and others to mix into the caravan, only the water monkey's injury is too conspicuous, Qin Sang found a remote courtyard outside the city, left to take care of the water monkey, Dongyang county lord and Yue Lao, Bai Jianglan went to see the town water king.

The water monkey was tired and seriously injured, and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Sang sat in the courtyard, waiting for news from the county lord, alert to the movement outside, and was ready to run away at any time.

From the words of the Dongyang County Lord and Yue Lao, Qin Sang can probably see some contexts, the puppet emperor they are talking about should be the current Emperor of the Great Sui, Jiangshanlou turned out to be the emperor's person, no wonder he dared to attack and kill the governor in the street.

It is said that the king of Dongyang and the current emperor were born of the same mother, and the king of Dongyang is the elder brother, after the death of the first emperor, but the younger brother ascended the throne, and the elder brother succumbed to the king of the county, which is contrary to the norm.

There must be a lot of discord in this, but it is difficult for outsiders to know the inside story.

Nowadays, the natural disasters of the Great Sui are continuous, and there are countless people in the four counties of the Northland who have rebelled against each other, and there are swords and soldiers everywhere, and they are in chaos.

Seeing that the Great Sui is shaky, the foundation is unstable, and the people are rumored that the new emperor has no way, I am afraid that this Dongyang king also sees the opportunity, and he can't bear to be lonely.

If the King of Dongyang plays the banner of crusading against the puppet emperor, the first thing to do is to win over the King of Zhenshui.

Zhenshui County and Dongyang County depend on each other, one west and one east stand in the south of the Great Sui, if you don't pull the king of Zhenshui on the boat, the backyard of the queen of Dongyang will be unstable, how to talk about sending troops to fight thieves.

The county lord of Dongyang took danger and came to Sanwu City alone, I am afraid that he came to persuade the king of Zhenshui, but he leaked the news halfway, and was known by Jiangshanlou and ordered to be intercepted.

Today's Great Sui, I don't know how many undercurrents are surging.

Qin Sang didn't know the inside story at first, and he also inadvertently got on the thief ship of Dongyang King, and it was not without a chance to get out during this period, but he still chose to stay.

His goal has never changed, whether the emperor of the Great Sui is the king of Dongyang or the current saint, he doesn't care at all, what he wants is how to find a shortcut to contact the immortal master.

The so-called heroes in troubled times, and following the rebellion of King Dongyang is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Now, it depends on whether the county lord of Dongyang can persuade the king of Zhenshui.

If he can't, the county lord of Dongyang will have a dead end, and he will not stay and die, so it's a big deal to kill indiscriminately and flee to other countries.

At noon, Qin Sang suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and went straight to the small courtyard, stood up vigilantly, and listened attentively.

Someone speaks, not like a sabre-rattling.

Qin Sang put the king of Yama aside, and after a while, he saw the courtyard door pushed inward, and the first to walk in was Bai Jianglan and an old man with a medicine box, the county lord of Dongyang and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes side by side, talking kindly, and his face was not unusual.

Qin Sang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, let the king of Hades come back, and stepped forward to greet him.

It was the Zhenshui King himself who was talking to the county lord of Dongyang, and the one next to Bai Jianglan was the imperial doctor of the Zhenshui Wangfu, after seeing the wound of the water monkey, the imperial doctor stroked his long hair, took the broken arm and examined it for a long time, shook his head and said: "Returning to the prince and the county lord, this broken arm is badly damaged, there is no life, and the time interval is too long, I am afraid that it will not be able to be connected." ”

Bai Jianglan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

The county lord of Dongyang said: "Then I will bother the imperial doctor to help Zhou Escort stop the bleeding and treat the wound so as not to endanger his life." ”

"Yes!"

The Imperial Physician opens the medicine chest and treats the wound.

The king of Zhenshui said on the side: "Rest assured, niece An Ning, the royal doctor's medical skills will definitely save the life of this strong man, this king has prepared a feast of wine, it is better to go to the palace with me to eat and rest first." ”

"Thank you, uncle," the county lord of Dongyang said with a blessing, and his voice was indescribably tired, "An Ning came to visit his uncle quietly, so he didn't have to be too extravagant." Now that the peace of mind is over, Uncle Lao sent someone to send me back to Dongyang County, so as not to worry about my father's peace and safety. ”

The king of Zhenshui was angry: "I didn't expect that a mere killer organization would dare to make waves in Zhenshui County and assassinate the nobles of the princess." This king has ordered people to search and exterminate the whole county, and he will let them leave no chickens and dogs, and give an explanation to the eldest brother and An Ning's niece! Since An Ning insists on going back...... Come on, go prepare a big ship, arrange a banquet on the ship, and then send an order to General Zhao Xiang, and send his most elite soldiers to escort the county lord back to Dongyang County, if the county lord is missing a hair on the road, this king will ask him!"

"Yes!"

......

Qin Sang, Bai Jianglan, and the water monkey rode in the same carriage, guarded by elite soldiers in front and behind, and when passing by Cuiming Mountain, Qin Sang lifted the curtain and glanced out.

He did not bother them, so he did not bother them.

Board the boat, travel along the river, and arrive at Chuncheng, the county seat of Dongyang County, three days later.

Qin Sang followed the county lord of Dongyang, and was closely escorted back to the palace by the palace guards, and walked all the way, only feeling that the customs of Chuncheng were quite different from those of Sanwu City.
