Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

No matter how calm Zhao Jiuchou was, he exclaimed, "It's you?"

The man was dressed in night clothes, tall and thin, wiped the blood-stained horizontal knife on his trouser leg, put it back into the scabbard, and said coldly: "Why can't it be me?"

Zhao Jiuchou was so shocked that he never imagined that he would kill Zhang Xiaoqi in advance.

Can't help asking: "Why did you kill Zhang Xiaoqi? Personal revenge?"

The man shook his head and sneered, "No complaint, no enmity!"

Zhao Jiuchou wanted to ask again, but the other party said very lightly: "I have the same purpose as you. If he doesn't die, no one can live alone."

After saying that, he walked to his horse, stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and continued to coldly say to Zhao Jiuchou, "Farewell!"

pop~~

With a twitch of the horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, and Yu... let out a neigh, and ran away, heading back in the direction of Tuva City.

Zhao Jiuchou looked at the people walking away, and then looked back at Zhang Xiaoqi who was lying lifeless on the ground.

Suddenly dismounted and walked up to Zhang Xiaoqi, squatted down slowly, sniffed his breath and felt his pulse.

Totally stopped, lifeless.

After confirming that Zhang Xiaoqi was dead, Zhao Jiuchou sneered and said, "He's right, if you don't die, no one will live alone."

Then he put his hands on Zhang Xiaoqi's face, slowly closed his staring eyes, and said to himself: "You, don't want to have a good future, but insist on engaging in this kind of heresy ...Zhang Xiaoqi, be a good man in your next life."

After finishing speaking, he left his body aside and abandoned him in the wilderness, got on his horse again and turned back in the direction of Tuva City.

About half an hour later, he entered Tuva City, ordered the guards to pull up the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, and rushed to the inn where Guo Ye spent the night to return to his command.

After entering the inn and the backyard, he found that Guo Ye's room was brightly lit and he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Obviously, Guo Ye has been waiting for news from him.

tuk tuk tuk tuk...

After knocking on the door, Zhao Jiuchou said, "I'm back."

Guo Ye didn't open the door, but greeted: "The door is not locked, open the door and come in and talk!"

Zhao Jiuchou shook his head stubbornly, and said, "No, just say a few words, and I'll go back to rest, it's getting late."

Guo Ye snorted.

Zhao Jiuchou reported as usual: "As you expected, Zhang Xiaoqi was rebellious, and he really went out of the city thinking about going back to Sichuan to report."

"Ugh……"

Guo Ye sighed leisurely, obviously this answer was the last thing he wanted to hear.

Zhao Jiuchou continued: "The person is dead, and the debt is gone!"

Guo Ye in the room was silent for a while. Through the papered doors and windows, Zhao Jiuchou saw Guo Ye's figure inside and nodded.

He continued to report: "However, it wasn't me who did it myself?"

"Oh?"

When Guo Ye heard this, he immediately asked, "Who did it?"

"Ganzhushou!!!"

"what?"

Apparently, Guo Ye was also extremely surprised by this answer, why did Gan Zhushou discover something was wrong with Zhang Xiaoqi during the banquet?

There was another wordless silence, and after a while, Guo Ye asked, "Have you ever met Gan Zhushou?"

"Touched!"

"What did he say?"

Zhao Jiuchou's memory of Gan Zhushou's words was still fresh, and he immediately replied: "He said, Zhang Xiaoqi is not dead, and no one can live alone."

"Ok?"

Guo Ye made a suspicious nasal sound again, and soon he replied: "Forget it, let's stop here, and don't go into the matter of Gan Zhushou. Although this person is of the same heart as me, but the hidden truth in him The secret is not as simple as what we see."

"Yeah! You know, I don't mind my own business!"

After Zhao Jiuchou replied bluntly, he said goodbye to Guo Ye: "It's over, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest."

Guo Ye groaned, and suddenly confessed: "Tomorrow, come with me to Yang's racecourse. This huge racecourse will soon change its surname to Guo. As the owner, I have to get familiar with the familiar place, right? ?”

In Guo Ye's words, Zhao Jiuchou heard the peace of mind when the dust fell to the ground.

Immediately after lightly acknowledging, there was nothing else to do, turned around, and strode away...

Chapter 246

In the early morning of the next day, the mist was still there, and the crystal dew still hung on the grass and shrubs in the mountains.

da da da da...

There was a crisp sound of horseshoes in the ear, and the dust was in a mountain road.

This mountain road is winding and bumpy, but it is the only way to connect Tuva City and Yang's Racecourse.

On the mountain road, there are only two riders, only Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchouer.

The mountain road is rugged, the terrain is steep, and it is extremely difficult to walk. Therefore, the two dare not let their horses gallop, so they can only sit on the horses and walk slowly.

Walking to the foot of a towering cliff in the mountains, there happened to be a mountain spring flowing. Weeds were overgrown by the spring, but the spring water was extremely clear.

Seeing this, Guo Ye tightened the reins and stopped, and said to Zhao Jiuchou, "How far is this place from Yang's Racecourse?"

Zhao Jiuchou spread out a crude map from his arms, which seemed to be drawn temporarily, gestured, and said, "Go down this cliff, and you can reach it in another twenty miles."

He said, pointing to the piles of dead branches and rotten grass trampled by horseshoes on both sides of the mountain road in front, and said: "Look, there are traces of horseshoes in front, which should be the footprints of Miss Kang and the others going to the racecourse the day before, leading to the racecourse. There is only such a path, and the designation cannot be wrong.”

Twenty miles?

Guo Ye looked at the way back and forth, and thought, Yang Tai's grandson's horse farm can be built really well hidden.

But when Zhao Jiuchou mentioned Kang Zhiru, he couldn't help complaining again, saying: "This stinky girl from the Kang family hasn't returned to Tuva City until today, so she must have had so much fun at the racecourse. Grandma, wait for Kang Zhiru." When Bao comes back, hurry up and ask Ya to take her away."

Zhao Jiuchou chuckled wordlessly, he didn't get involved in this matter, and he couldn't get involved.
