Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Immediately, Fatty Zhu stopped drinking, and then asked Zhang Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi, tell me what you think."

"what?"

Zhang Xiaoqi was still a little absent-minded, after an exclamation, his face was unnaturally tense and panicked, and after looking at Guo Ye, he hurriedly lowered his head.

Then he shook his head continuously and said, "Whatever my brother said, that's, that's it!"

After speaking, he sat back in his original position and remained silent.

Everyone naturally felt that Zhang Xiaoqi was so pissy on weekdays, it didn't matter.

Guo Ye was extremely astonished, because when he met Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes just now, he saw a guilty conscience in the other's eyes, a guilty conscience as if he had done something wrong.

Could it be that Xiaoqi has other ideas?

However, Guo Ye did not explode on the spot, nor did he throw a cup out of the window, but pretended not to notice, and continued to laugh and play with everyone.

About half an hour later, everyone retreated one after another, and Zhang Xiaoqi, who had been taciturn, also retreated among the crowd.

After seeing off everyone, Guo Ye left the Wangshan Tower, and the empty bushes outside the building clapped his hands lightly.

First, there was a commotion in the trees, shrubs and grass, and then nearly a hundred people poured out from all around one after another.

Zhao Jiuchou appeared first and walked up to Guo Ye.

Zhao Jiuchou looked at Guo Ye, then looked at the Wangshan Tower, which had vanished into thin air and made no noise at this moment, and smiled at Guo Ye indifferently: "Finally, it's what you wish, hehe, someone like Zhao doesn't have to bear the stigma of this executioner." gone."

Guo Ye first waved at the hundred or so knife and axemen, said sorry to the poor brothers, and then signaled them to retreat on their own and go to their respective battalions to find their own mothers.

Then he said to Zhao Jiuchou in a solemn tone: "The overall situation has been decided, but there are still some deviations. The matter is of great importance, and it must be verified first."

Immediately, he told about Zhang Xiaoqi's strange behavior when he was questioning him just now, and Zhang Xiaoqi's absent-mindedness today.

Finally, he smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps, after verification, you still can't run away from the executioner."

Zhao Jiuchou shrugged indifferently, and asked, "How to verify it, please tell me the rules."

Guo Ye pondered for a while, and said: "If Zhang Xiaoqi really has a different heart, he will definitely rush back to Yizhou Mansion because he is familiar with the journey in the middle of Sichuan, and then he will definitely inform the governor Lu Chengqing, and then tell himself Have a good future."

Speaking of this, seeing Zhao Jiuchou nodded in agreement, and then continued: "So, you go out of the city quickly to see if Zhang Xiaoqi is out of the city, and where is he going? If you go back the same way in the direction of Yizhou, you just..."

"understood!"

Once, Zhao Jiuchou interrupted Guo Ye's words, then took the big golden ring knife on his shoulder in his hand, slashed it in the air, and said ruthlessly: "If there are really so many coincidences, then it is better to be in vain than to let them go. Or not?"

Would you rather be in vain than indulge?

Guo Ye hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "If there are so many coincidences that Zhang Xiaoqi shared, hum, then God destined him to die under your sword tonight."

Zhao Jiuchou nodded emphatically and hummed, leaving aside unnecessary words, turned around and walked towards the stables where the war horses were kept.

After walking a few steps, he turned his head and shouted at Guo Ye: "Wait for my good news!"

Guo Ye looked at Zhao Jiuchou's fading figure, looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, and sighed softly: "Good news? I hope that this kind of good news won't come!"

swoosh~~

Looking up at the night sky, staring at the crescent moon, a white light actually flashed across the sky, and disappeared in a short moment...

Guo Ye happened to see this glimpse of white light, although it disappeared very quickly, it dragged a long tail.

He sneered, this thing is not like a wishing shooting star, but a bit like a broom star falling, good luck!

Chapter 245 The Dust Falls

The sky is also dark and the moon is not sinking.

When Zhao Jiuchou rode his horse and galloped to the main gate of Tuva City, he found that the drawbridge of the city gate had been lowered and the city gate was opened.

After asking the guards at the top of the city, the answer was that Zhang Xiaoqi, the leader of the team, was ordered by Mr. Guo to go out of the city to handle errands in the starry night, so he opened the city gate.

He was even more surprised by the next reply of the city defenders, saying that after Zhang Xiaoqi left the city, about a while later, another black shadow rode out of the city gate, seemingly chasing him. The team is leaving Zhang Xiaoqi.

The city defenders thought that the two of them, one in front and one behind, were going out of the city at night under the orders of Mr. Guo, so they were careless and didn't chase them out of the city to inquire.

But Zhao Jiuchou was even more strange when he waited. Who was the one who rode out of the city in the second starry night?

Could it be Zhang Xiaoqi's accomplice?

If it's the same party, why don't they go out of the city together?

Zhao Jiuchou was confused, seeing that the time was running out, he didn't bother to reprimand these thoughtless defenders, he waved his whip again and again to urge the horses to gallop, and chased after Zhang Xiaoqi in the direction where Zhang Xiaoqi left.

Just as Guo Ye guessed, the guards told Zhao Jiuchou that Zhang Xiaoqi was going in the direction of Yizhou Mansion in the middle of Shu.

While twitching his horsewhip, Zhao Jiuchou hurriedly chased after him, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh that Guo Ye's guess was accurate.

The road from Tuva City to the direction of central Shu can be reached as long as you pass through Alitu City and turn back along the Tubo border.

This also saved Zhao Jiuchou the trouble of chasing him one by one to the end.

The horses galloped and raised their hooves, chasing the traitors with the stars and the moon.

After about a long time, Zhao Jiuchou thought about running for nearly ten miles, when suddenly there were two strikes of horizontal knives not far away.

His heart suddenly trembled, the sound of weapons clashing, could it be that there is a fight ahead?

After urging in a low voice, the horse hurried forward, the fighting sound had stopped, but two figures were seen.

No, it should be a living figure, a corpse lying motionless on the ground.

Zhao Jiuchou's heart was even more strange. The two sounds of crossing swords just now could be interpreted as two moves between two people fighting. Could it be that only two moves determined the victory and defeat, and the sentence of life and death?

Looking at the figure of the corpse on the ground and the leather armor, Zhao Jiuchou was sure that the one who died was Zhang Xiaoqi who he wanted to chase.

Zhao Jiuchou cursed secretly, you are a god, and someone cut you off.

Immediately flattering the horse and running forward again, he cursed angrily, "Who is it?"

When the voice fell, the person was close.

The other party seemed to know that Zhao Jiuchou had been standing not far away for a while, and was not surprised by the scolding at all.

Instead, he turned around leisurely and came face to face with Zhao Jiuchou who was riding on the horse.

As soon as I turned around,
