At noon, a fast horse galloped out of Sanssouci Valley, crossed a forest path, and rested in the wilderness until night.

Zhang Qingzi on horseback was dressed in white, carrying a long sword, and was as comfortable as at home in the dark wilderness - completely accustomed to the way of the rivers and lakes, and looked free and easy without taboos.

She sat on the ground, nourishing her energy, and the knife wound on her leg that was left by Old Ghost Lin also recovered quickly, after all, it was only a flesh wound, and the hemostasis was bandaged properly, and there was no major problem now...... When the day was slightly bright, he rode his horse again, and after a day, he finally arrived at Kaifeng at nightfall.

Lao Zhang left the Xinyi League five years ago, returned to his old home in Kaifeng, sent his old father on his last journey, and settled down with his wife and children. He put on his cloak and came out and asked, "Who, there is no food at home!"

"Lao Zhang, open the door. ”

He felt strange, opened the door and looked, surprised and delighted, looked outside, let Zhang Qingzi, who was leading the horse, in, and closed the door tightly.

"Where's Brother Fang?"

"I was injured and recuperated in Sanssouci Valley. ”

"What do you want the villain to do?"

"I have a letter to present to Lord Cheng Shen in the Imperial History, you show me the way. ”

"Go now?"

"Can you do it conveniently?"

"Let's go!" Lao Zhang didn't care about the hot Xinghua Village, helped Zhang Qingzi tie up the horse, and then led her through the two markets, pointing to a mansion from a distance, "That's it." The villain gives you a look at the wind from the outer wall. ”

Zhang Qingzi was about to agree when he opened his mouth, but when he thought of Zimo's determination not to drag down his friends, the words he said were: "You go back first, just send a letter, and wait for me to come back and drink with you." ”

Lao Zhang smiled and watched Zhang Qingzi jump onto the wall in the dark.

didn't step on the point, Zhang Qingzi could only judge that the big house sitting in the south and facing north was Lord Shen's bedroom. She walked on the eaves, jumped to the top of the great house, lifted up a piece of tiles, and looked, but there was no one inside.

She secretly said in her heart, this Kaifeng is not as good as Chang'an, and it is very strictly guarded at night, and if it is discovered, it will not be good after all.

Just when she saw a young man walking out of the eaves, she flew down, pressed the other party's big vertebral acupoint, and asked softly, "Who are you from the house?"

The man looked at her and said, "The villain is the nephew of Lord Cheng Shen in the imperial history, don't hurt my life!"

Zhang Qingzi said happily: "I came from Chang'an to send a letter to Mr. Liu Wencong, which must be presented to Mr. Shen. Can you introduce me?"

She said solemnly again: "This letter is related to the bloody case of more than ten members of Liu Wencong's family, I have no choice but to suffer, I hope not to alarm others!"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The villain is really worried that you will harm Lord Shen, please show the letter to the villain, if it is true, I will definitely take you to see Lord Shen!"

Zhang Qingzi pulled him to the eaves, and with the help of the light in the front room, he took out the letterhead from his arms that caused the destruction of the Liu family, the dissolution of the Xinyi League, and the serious injury of Zimo, handed it to him, and said softly: "This letter is related to the life and death of many people, you read it carefully." ”

"How can this be reasonable! I will definitely give the letter to Lord Shen and send that wicked Wei Xian to prison!" the man was filled with indignation...... He bent down to Zhang Qingzi again, "The heroine sent a letter with righteousness, the villain admires it in his heart, please come with me to see Lord Shen." ”

Zhang Qingzi followed him in the house, turned into a flower path, and happened to meet a lady. The man led the way and said to the lady, "I'll send some hot tea to Da Lang later, and I still have important things to talk about tonight." ”

After all, there was a big matter, and he didn't wait for this lady to respond, so he hurriedly continued to rush forward.

The two of them passed through the closed hall of the reception room, turned into the back, and came to the door of a study, which was lit and the door was closed. When he got here, he turned around and said apologetically: "Lord Shen is the most important courtesy, let the villain go to report first, and ask the heroine to wait here for a while." ”

Zhang Qingzi said: "It should be like this. ”

After only a moment, he walked out, "Woman, please, the lord is reading the letter, it is a matter of confidentiality, and the villain is waiting here to avoid being disturbed by idle people." ”

Zhang Qingzi hugged him, thinking that it was good to meet this person, and he could finally meet Lord Shen.

The furnishings in the room are simple and unpretentious, there is a big bookshelf on the right wall, a screen in the middle leaves a poem by Du Fu "Stone Trencher", and the left side is the place where the desk writes.

Although it was winter, it was not cold in the house, but Zhang Qingzi just glanced at it and felt that the blood in his whole body was about to be frozen.

Lord Shen sat behind the desk, tilted his head, his neck exposed, and at his throat, there was a long streak of blood, and the blood had flowed out. His chest was soaked with blood, his hands were naturally hanging from the sides of his chair, his body was stiff, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

Worst!

She pulled out the long sword from her back directly with her backhand and rushed out of the study, but where was the figure of the man......

At this time, somewhere in the house, a shout was heard: "Your Excellency has been assassinated, beware of a female assassin in white!"

The letter concerning Liu Fu, Wei Xian, and Xinyi League is still on that person! Zhang Qingzi rushed to the place where the voice came out in a hurry, but he only thought of the plan when he came here. This man shouted out in order to lure her forward, and five nurses had already heard the sound and rushed to meet her, and when they saw her sword drawn and rushed forward, they shouted: "Thief mother, you will be arrested before you can restrain your hands!"

In the confusion, she repelled five people, climbed out of the wall, and a long arrow came at her, and hurriedly swung her sword to block it, and there were shouts in all directions of the street, and the catcher was quickly alarmed, and the patrol of the street also surrounded him.

She didn't dare to run on the street, so she flew up, stepped on the edge of the wall, jumped onto the roof, and fled for her life in Kaifeng.

Soon a master jumped onto the roof, one in front and one behind him.

The sword-wielding man in front of him had already signed up for himself: "Chen Wu, the ghost swordsman of the Xudu City, is here, who is here?"

Zhang Qingzi was already mad in her heart, and she couldn't wait to cut that liar with a thousand knives, so she said angrily: "My aunt and grandmother were framed by the villain tonight, and I got out of the way!"

In a blink of an eye, she approached the other party, and fought five swords, the Jianghu people in Kaifeng were really hard, she couldn't take advantage of it, and the people behind her were about to catch up, she only took the three sword styles that Ye Yunsheng had given her on her birthday, and a person followed the sword, and the sword light flew straight out.

Chen Wu, the ghost swordsman of Xudu, only felt that the other party's sword shadow was fast, and he only saw it in his life, and before he had time to block it, his arm was crossed by the sword blade, cutting out a cut, and it hurt so much that he couldn't hold the sword, and while covering the wound, he went to pick up the sword that was sliding down on the eaves.

The people chasing after him saw it clearly, and asked loudly: "What is the relationship between this girl and the predecessor of King Yu's sword?" Cao Yujing, a swordsman in Xiapingjiang, can find out the situation for the girl, and if someone is really framed, he will be able to return his innocence!"

Zhang Qingzi knew that tonight's events were definitely not clear, and he entered the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and he didn't want to think about it in this life, where would he stop being slaughtered.

The name of the Pingjiang swordsman is well-known in Henan, and he once competed with Fang Zimo for swords, and the two did not win or lose.

Zhang Qingzi didn't expect that it was him chasing after him, but fortunately, this person was not very skillful, she jumped into an alley a few ups and downs, and actually threw off the other party.

There were faint shouts all around, thinking that Zhongcheng was assassinated in the imperial history, and the entire Kaifeng arrest was quickly moved, this big case, I don't know how many people are going to be anxious.

After Zhang Qingzi entered Lord Shen's mansion, Lao Zhang changed to an inconspicuous place, with his hands in his sleeves, his neck shrunch, and squatting on the ground, while looking at the situation around Shen's mansion.

After waiting for a stick of incense, he heard a shout in the Shen Mansion, and he was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on his back - he obviously said that he was going to deliver a letter, how could he kill Lord Shen?

Knowing that this matter was strange, Zhang Qingzi must have been framed by a traitor, and he secretly thought: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Kaifeng City, the master is like a cloud, I can't help here, but it has become a burden to keep up." Lord Shen died, and the government would definitely close the city gate, if the sister-in-law couldn't get out before closing the gate...... It is better to go home and take your horse and go to the gate of the city to receive it. ”

Lao Zhang walked away casually, then galloped up, rushed home, led Zhang Qingzi's horse, and was about to go out.

"You're so late, where are you going?" it turned out that his mother-in-law heard the movement and walked out and asked.

"It's nothing, you go back to the house and rest!"

"Hey, who's the culprit! This sweaty man, is something wrong with your friend? I heard the noise outside, what's going on?"

He was so anxious that he had no time to explain to his mother-in-law, and walked out saying that he was fine, but when he left home, he felt inexplicably afraid and guilty, and he came back in and said to the woman who had been with him for half his life: "That...... The hole in the wall that was repaired last year was filled in by me, and there was a bag of stuff hidden in it, and you can see it when you pull the stones out of the cracks. ”

"You old ghost, you still have something to hide from me! Okay......"

He left quickly, afraid that his mother-in-law would see it, and he only listened to half of the words.

Lao Zhang got on the horse, and after so many years, he broke into the rivers and lakes again in a sudden night.

Only a home, a mother-in-law, a child, and the bag of gold and silver in the wall were left. It was all the money he had earned from wandering the rivers and lakes, and he saved it and wanted to leave it to his children when he grew up in the future.

Zhang Qingzi rushed to the city gate, and saw from a distance that the guards at the city gate were about to close the city gate, and knew that once the city gate was closed, he would not want to go out of the city tonight. Isn't it a dead end in the city?

At that moment, she rushed over regardless of it, the sword light flickered, stabbed down the two guards, and when she was about to rush out of the city gate, a man from the side rushed over, the long sword in his hand was whistling, and the end was profound! She swung her sword to block, and the internal strength on the opponent's sword was shaken back, and she looked at it, it was the Pingjiang swordsman Cao Yujing!

Although Cao Yujing's light skills are not as good as Zhang Qingzi, his sword kung fu is first-class in the world, much better than Zhang Qingzi, and when the sword move is delivered, he suppressed Zhang Qingzi, and he didn't kill him, his intention was just to stop the other party.

There was a fight here, and the gate was still moving slowly, and it would take a while to close.

Seeing that Zhang Qingzi couldn't escape and was about to be captured, a fast horse flew and rushed over, and the person on the horse rushed straight to Cao Yujing, Cao Yujing is a white way in the rivers and lakes, a famous master, and he didn't want to hurt people's lives, so he struck out with his palm and hit the comer, and the other long sword still pressed Zhang Qingzi and did not retreat.

But the flying man was struck by a palm, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and shouted: "Ride your horse and go!"

Zhang Qingzi turned over and got on the horse, and saw that Cao Yujing was forced to be in a hurry, and turned the blade of the sword and stabbed into the person's body.

"Lao Zhang!" Zhang Qingzi's eyes were red, and he was about to fight with Cao Yujing with his long sword, but who knew that Lao Zhang returned to his light before he died, vigorously used it, kicked it on the horse stock, and shouted: "Don't let me give my life in vain, go!"

The horse ran out of the city gate, Zhang Qingzi waved a sword in the air, and then wanted to get off the horse, but he lost the courage and enthusiasm.

............

Normally, Wei Xian would not leave his seat and get up to greet others.

Just like he once said - Chang'an Chang'an, this is my Chang'an!

But the guest who came today asked him to leave his seat, and not only that, he even stood in the front yard to personally welcome the guest into the house.

The guest was not amazing, dressed in black, with empty hands, and was not polite after sitting down, and said: "Huai has been coming all the way from Xuzhou since he received the golden book, but he didn't expect it to be a step slower. ”

Wei Xian smiled: "It's okay, since Mr. has arrived, the official knows that this matter can finally be settled." ”

"Your lordship is kind. ”

"This official is not in the rivers and lakes, but he is not in the light of Huaijia, but he is respectful, once this happens, in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, he will invest in the gold book to Xuzhou. ”

"There are three classes of golden books, one hundred taels for the lower class, five hundred taels for the middle class, and one thousand taels for the upper class...... The adult voted for the first-class golden book, and the Huai family attaches great importance to it, but if it weren't for the status of the adult in Chang'an, the Huai family wants to make friends with you, and I won't come in person. ”

"Mr. is refreshing, this official is fortunate to have the personal help of the head of the Huai family, and the help is in my heart. After this incident, I will not let you down. ”

"Since the secret letter was taken away by Yan's return, to the current Lingyun Sword Immortal Fang Zimo brought to Kaifeng, Huai has something unclear, and I ask the adults to guide the maze. ”

"Sir, please. ”

"The adults should have arranged countermeasures before, but now they are forcing Fang Zimo away and wanting to kill him on the way to seize the credit, why are you so passive? It seems that he has never grasped the main point. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Dare to ask my lord, what if the secret letter is not on Fang Zimo, or if he handed it over to someone else to be sent to Kaifeng to present to Yushi Zhongcheng?"

Wei Xian's face was embarrassed, and he asked in a blink of an eye, "Sir, does he have a foolproof means?"

Mr. Huai already had a plan, and said with a smile at this time: "Since this letter is destined to be handed over to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, why don't you wait in this lord's mansion and wait for them to deliver the letter to the door, and then pick it up?"

Such a bold idea shocked Wei Xian into speechlessness for a while.

Mr. Huai said lightly: "Chase and kill all the way, and then there is the South China Sea Hanging Buddha, it is indeed safe to deal with Fang Zimo, but if you want to win anything, you must grasp the 'one' in your hands." If there is a situation, then wouldn't it be foolproof to rush to that adult's mansion first and act at the opportunity?"

Wei Xian applauded and laughed, and said loudly: "Sure enough, it is the famous Huai family in the rivers and lakes, and it is worthy of its reputation!

Mr. Huai didn't smile, and said lightly: "In terms of the means of the rivers and lakes, no one dares to say that they can beat the Ning and He families." The Huai family only has some shady business, in the final analysis, we are collecting money to kill, killing people, and earning silver, it is enough. What good is it to fight against others?"

"Sir is right, what can be more important than making money? If you need help on this trip, you will be sent by the people in this official house.

"No, it's more convenient to be alone under it. But there is one thing that needs to be said. That secret letter will spare no effort to snatch it, this is Lord Huaijiajing's ...... But after all, I'm here to kill people, and in order to plan well, if I have to kill Yushi Zhongcheng as a last resort, will my lord blame me?"

"This ...... As long as the gentleman does not leave a trace, what is the official afraid of! Wouldn't it be better if he could blame the person who sent the letter?"

"Okay! The soldier is very fast, and he will take his leave first. ”

"Please, Mr. Lao!"
