Yueyang was called Baling in ancient times, also known as Yuezhou. The www.biquge.info is a must-win place for soldiers since ancient times.

At this moment, I saw a sunset flying into the sky, and the dilapidated city wall stood silently. At sunset, four horses galloped towards them and slowly stopped at the city gate. Xie Yixiang, who was on the horse, raised his eyes, but saw that there were three big characters engraved on the city wall that had been impregnated by the years, and it was written "Yueyang City".

She couldn't help but shake her head slightly, threw away her thoughts along the way, and drove her horse into the city with everyone.

Jia Mengchao was riding a horse with Na Xue Zhiyan at this time. It turned out that he was in the countryside outside the city, and Xie Yixiang took advantage of the farmers' dispute with Cheng Chengtian, and secretly agreed with Jia Mengchao on a trick to hide from the world. After Xie Yixiang took out the knife to kill the horse, Jia Mengchao took the opportunity to smear the horse's blood in the palm of his hand, and when Xie Yixiang swung out the second knife, he pretended to be hit by the knife and fell to the ground, holding his breath. You must know that those farmers don't have much knowledge, not to mention that they were shocked by Xie Yixiang's series of actions, and they were actually deceived by them.

Now that they are in the city, the people in the torture room are naturally more cautious, seeing that it is no longer convenient to ride a horse, they have to hold the reins of the horse and walk slowly. At dusk, the city is bustling with pedestrians, all dressed in new clothes, their faces flushed, and the joy of celebrating the New Year not long ago remains. The people in the torture room turned into a lively long street, and Cheng Chengtian went to find a small inn that was not very conspicuous, arranged for everyone to stay, and asked the shopkeeper Zhang for some common food.

Although the inn where everyone stayed was small, it was also divided into two floors, and the guest rooms were located on the second floor, and downstairs were a dozen or so square tables for guests to eat, and they were arranged in a dimly lit hall in an orderly manner. When the dishes were served, Zhuang Haoming was old after all, and the amount of food was not large, so he was full after only eating a small half bowl. At that moment, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Xie Yixiang casually, then got up and walked out of the store, and slowly walked outside the store.

After a while, Xie Yixiang also put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked out of the inn to Zhuang Haoming's side, and asked in a low voice, "What does Uncle command?"

Zhuang Haoming showed a smile and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, uncle just wants to chat with you casually." After a pause, he said leisurely: "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you have grown up, and you are no longer the willful and impulsive little girl you were back then." ”

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned and said, "Please also ask my uncle to have something to say." ”

Zhuang Haoming sighed and said slowly: "We killed people on the road just now, but as soon as we left, don't you blame your uncle for being a human life?"

Xie Yixiang said respectfully: "My niece doesn't dare." After she said this, seeing that Zhuang Haoming was still staring at her, she whispered again: "As an official of the imperial court, my uncle acted cheaply on the way out to handle cases. Besides, it wasn't your fault that you encountered such an accident...... If today's incident were to be changed to other officials, I am afraid that not only will they not pay compensation, but they will also implicate innocent people. ”

Her words were a little vague, but Zhuang Haoming also understood, and said with a wry smile: "Having said that, my uncle knows that if you don't talk about this matter, there will definitely be a knot in your heart." Yixiang, you must know that we have come thousands of miles this time, and we have a long way to go, and the treatment at that time was already the best result. ”

Seeing that Xie Yixiang didn't speak, he sighed again, "After the face-ripping demon case was solved the year before last, you suddenly fell seriously ill, or did your father ask me for a long vacation for more than half a year." I can't imagine that after you are reinstated, you will become what you are now. Although my uncle didn't know what happened during this period, he could guess somewhat. ”

Xie Yixiang heard him mention this, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle, you are too careful." ”

Zhuang Haoming shook his head and continued: "Although the face-ripping demon has been subdued, but my uncle has handled so many cases over the years, how can he not see the strangeness in it? Just ask that Xiyi Zhenren, as the head of the Taiyuan Temple, only needs to give an order, naturally thousands of people will do things for him, how can he do it himself, for what kind of Neidan has become a face-tearing demon? But with the situation at that time, you and I both know that Xiyi Zhenren is a face-tearing demon, which is the best result. So we all kept silent about this matter. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the night sky, and said slowly: "Many times, what we need to solve a case in the criminal arrest room is not the truth, but the best result. ”

Xie Yixiang bowed her head and said, "Thank you uncle for your advice, my niece understands." ”

Zhuang Haoming suddenly asked: "Then the reason why you have become the way you are now, is it because of that person?"

Xie Yixiang's eyes flashed, and she immediately calmed down again. Seeing that Zhuang Haoming kept asking herself about this matter, she immediately raised her head and asked: "My niece dares to ask my lord, the key to my arrest of the murderer is the four words 'soldier and speed'." According to the inline newspaper, the 'Rose Thorn' is now in the Miao District west of Yueyang, and when we reach the boundary of Jiangzhou, why don't we go west directly, but instead make a big circle along the Yangtze River and spend the night in this Yueyang City? If we delay the opportunity and be blown away by the 'Rose Thorn', won't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yixiang suddenly reversed the conversation and questioned himself in turn, Zhuang Haoming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Very good, very good, worthy of Xie Fengxuan's daughter." Since you and I both have some ulterior secrets in our hearts, according to my uncle, it is better to keep them separately. ”

He looked directly into Xie Yixiang's eyes and said softly: "Uncle has no other intentions, I just hope that you can see everything and don't give yourself too many indifferent shackles." ”

Xie Yixiang saw that Zhuang Haoming was no longer asking, and nodded immediately. She was about to turn around and go back to the store, but suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in her vest, as if someone had quietly blown cold air into the placket of her back.

Xie Yixiang hurriedly turned his head, only to see that the originally lively long street had become quiet at some point, and the previous noise seemed to be frozen in an instant, and there was a strange atmosphere around him.

The faces of the pedestrians who were talking and laughing on the long street changed at the same time, and they retreated to both sides of the street, emptying the entire street. Xie Yixiang heard a woman not far away stretching out her hand to hold her child's mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't make noise, the 'Dragon Girl' is here." The child was originally naughty, but when he heard the word "dragon girl", he seemed to remember some monster, and he suddenly didn't dare to move, and a pool of tears welled up in his eyes.

Xie Yixiang knew that something was wrong, and unconsciously pressed his right hand on his waist, and looked intently at the end of the long street. At this time, it was just dark, and the street had not yet had time to be lit, and it was dark all around, but she could see clearly with the eyes of the "poor thousands of miles".

I saw that at the end of the long street, there were faintly two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards him, and the two figures that were originally vague had gradually become clearly visible with the footsteps. And everywhere they went, the faces of the passers-by on both sides were full of indescribable fear.

Xie Yixiang inexplicably surged a thought in her heart: most of these two people came for her group.

Zhuang Haoming, who was beside him, also whispered: "Be careful, these two people are very strange, I'm afraid they're just coming to trouble us." As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chengtian, Jia Mengchao and Xue Zhiyan had already stepped out of the inn at the same time, and stood behind Zhuang Haoming with a solemn face.

Xie Yixiang was slightly shocked, it turned out that not only she was uneasy, but even several other people were too. However, she thought about it, now that Xue Zhiyan was removed from here, the remaining four people were all first-class masters, so what was there to worry about?

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but her right hand tightened the grip on her waist.
