Chapter 61: Shocking
Zhang Qing hung himself under a carriage, listening to the sound of horses' hooves and wheels walking on the stone road, while worrying in his heart.
After he had just been brought out by Lengyuhe, he followed the servant back to the side hall. But my heart became more and more uneasy, so I kept looking out from the window. When he passed by the door where Qian Yi's entourage was just now, he also felt the malicious gaze cast at him from inside, so he specially hid behind the window and observed the movement over there through the crack in the window.
After a while, someone came to the room and told him something, and the striking man in civilian clothes stepped out, followed by the man who had been standing in the shadows. The man said two words to him, and then turned and followed the servant. And he stood at the door for a short while, especially after a deep glance in Zhang Qing's direction, before entering the room again.
At this time, it was dark, and lanterns were hung in front of each house, so this person's appearance was completely seen by Zhang Qing, especially that glance, although he didn't let the other party see himself, but the other party's face was completely exposed in Zhang Qing's eyes, which made his heart surge.
He had already recognized this person, no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw his figure when he passed by, but he couldn't remember who it was. As Zhang Qing, he has not seen each other with his own eyes, but in Zhang Shanyi's heart, this person is simply his nightmare.
During the seven days of his escape from the house, he had seen this face several times. Every time he appeared, he would make one or two fewer generals around him, and even more memorable than the guy who slapped him.
However, for Zhang Qing, who borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, he only recalled it during the time when he just woke up, and then he left the other party behind after all kinds of busyness, so now when he sees the other party's appearance, he remembers that there is this person.
But now the focus is not on what he did, but on why he appeared here, Zhang Qing, who returned to the house and sat down, began to think quickly.
Years of education in his previous life gave him a rational way of thinking, and the integration with Zhang Shanyi's spirit created an extraordinary thinking speed. Combined with the limited information he knew before, he quickly reasoned about the matter.
The person just now was the helmsman of the Tinghe Gang who had chased and killed him, and looking at the dress of him and the middle-aged man just now and the way the two got along, the two could basically be judged to be subordinate. Zhang Qing has seen a lot of martial artists recently, and he can tell that the man is also an innate master, and his skills are definitely far superior to Bai Huiye.
Then his identity is easy to judge, the Tinghe Gang has five congenitals on the surface, and the four elders have died and arrested one. The other two are said to be a woman and an old man. Therefore, this middle-aged man is Fang Xiaotian, the leader of the Tinghe Gang.
He is now hiding in Qian Yi's entourage and coming to the state lord's mansion, and he has been invited to the hall, combined with Qian Yi's calm appearance in the hall just now, then the current situation in the hall is probably very bad for the state lord's side.
On the other hand, when Zhang Qing came to the court, it can be seen from the performances of Liu Liang, Bai Huiye and Leng Yuhe that I am afraid that they also did not know that the leader of the Tinghe Gang had entered the state lord's mansion, which showed that Liu Liang's control of the state lord's mansion had a big problem. Speaking of which, I'm afraid today's plan is about to fail.
And if the plan fails, then Zhang Qing, who has been exposed to Qian Yi, will be in great danger. If the other party wants to take advantage of the situation to pursue, Zhang Qing will bear the brunt.
The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he looked down and saw the disaster knife standing next to his leg, knowing the palpitations in his heart before he came, I am afraid that he was going to be here.
Now that the situation is very bad, his intuition reminds him to bring a knife, I am afraid that he can slip away first. Anyway, if the guess is wrong, and the state lord wins a big victory, he has said everything he should say, and the key evidence now is Zhong Qi, and there will be no mistakes because of his temporary disappearance, and it will be good to come back when the time comes.
But if his hunch came true, then he could avoid a big risk by escaping early. Zhang Qing was also decisive, tied the knife behind him, first went to the front door to see if no one was paying attention to his room, and immediately walked to the back window and gently opened it. After glancing at no one, he quickly rolled out.
Outside is a corridor planted with flowers and plants, and beyond the corridor is a courtyard wall. Zhang Qing recalled the route he had taken before, and his good memory and sense of space allowed him to quickly calculate his location. God willing, behind this wall should be the way to come, and a little further is the partition between the front and back houses.
Zhang Qing had never been to the Qianfu before, but thanks to his habit of observing the surrounding environment, the map of the Houfu had already been explored by him. Therefore, he decided not to risk leaving from the closer Qianfu, but to return to the Houfu first, and then leave the state mansion by relying on his familiarity with the Houfu.
He did not rush over the wall, but closed his eyes and breathed first. Immediately afterwards, you can see that his aura quickly weakened, and his sense of presence became vague. At this time, he stood in the dark, and even if a guard passed by him a kilometer away, he would probably not be able to detect his existence.
Zhang Qing only felt that if he had heavenly help, he had absorbed Luo Tieyi's true qi two days ago, and his skills had increased greatly, so he wanted to enter the Heavenly Sword Space and read the content of the Qi Storage Chapter again, check and fill in the gaps, and prevent the foundation from being unstable.
As a result, when I was reading the knife record, I found that a new strange technique was quietly unlocked, called "Hidden Technique". It didn't have any offensive power or defense, but it was a vanishing exercise, because his internal qi reached a certain standard, so it was revealed.
Although Zhang Qing felt that it was useless for the time being, this "Concealment Technique" was just a practical small exercise, and it was very quick to get started, so Zhang Qing practiced it easily, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
After all, it's in the state lord's mansion, and although it doesn't look big on the surface, you can imagine that it's heavily guarded. If it weren't for this kind of aura dissipation magic, I'm afraid that even if I evaded the patrolling guards, I would have been discovered by the secret sentinels.
Zhang Qing felt that "Concealment" began to play a role, so he didn't hesitate anymore and went up to the wall. First, he looked out slightly, and found that there was silence, not even a few lights, and a large area of darkness. With a joy in his heart, he quickly flipped over, followed his memory and fled to the back house, and it turned out to be abnormal.
It was also Zhang Qing's luck, it was impossible for the front mansion to be so empty in defense, not to mention that several bigwigs were still fighting in the guest hall next to it. But Qian Yi planned to make trouble today, in order to prevent Liu Liang's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, so he emptied the guards in this area with his mastery of the governor's mansion, so that Liu Liang could not make a desperate bet, and mobilized people to keep him in the mansion, but he didn't expect to cheapen Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing came to the junction of the front and back mansions smoothly, and saw from a distance that the gate connecting the two mansions was guarded by guards. Thinking of the many guards in the back house that I knew before, I knew that if I climbed over the wall, I would be caught before I landed. Zhang Qing, who had been thinking for a long time, gritted his teeth for the last time, revealed his figure, and walked straight towards the gate.
"Who is it?" the guard behind the door shouted in a low voice when he saw someone coming.
Zhang Qing took off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to the guard, and said, "I am a person from Madame's side, I came to the front house with the lord before, and now I want to return, and I don't open the door yet." ”
His heart was pounding, ready to draw the knife at any time, but he knew that once he made a move, the hope of escaping would be very slim, so he kept praying in his heart that the jade pendant in his hand would be useful.
The guard looked at the jade pendant carefully, and then looked at Zhang Qing, although he hadn't seen him, he probably recognized the jade pendant, and his age also made the guard let down his guard. So the guard nodded lightly and motioned to his colleagues behind him to open the small door for Zhang Qing and let him pass.
Zhang Qing smiled and nodded in thanks, and then walked through the small door quickly but without urgency. It wasn't until he saw that the guards of the front house had closed the door again, and there was no one else around, that he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and ran towards the back.
