Rebellious officials bow their heads

Accompanied by the crisp sound and screams of bones cracking, the blood flew out and splashed on the snow, like red plums falling.

The tip of the sword was pulled out from the flesh and blood, but in the blink of an eye, the enemy in front of him fell down with a bang, and the remaining Beiluo people tried to surround the man, but their movements were too slow in comparison, the man's figure was like lightning, Move freely in the crowd.

Another enemy sneaked up from behind him, and the man suddenly turned sideways on the verge of life and death, and then the long sword turned around, and stabbed with a sharp backhand!

Naturally, it was impossible for the opponent to dodge, his chest was slashed open by the sword, and his breathing stopped at that moment.The man spun around, then turned around, blocking the oncoming attack.

This stone road drips into ice, and you have to pay attention to your step when you walk on weekdays. If you run, you will be slippery, but the man uses the ice to move quickly. But passing by, a long trail was drawn under his feet, and the snow and dust flew up.

His sword is extremely fast and tricky, and the light of the sword is like flying snow. When the man has gone four or five steps, the enemy behind him feels the pain caused by the fatal wound, but it is too late, and there is another dead body. When he fell down, even the ice ground shook amidst the shock.

Ji Han was still half-sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the corpse, his pupils constricted, everything happened so fast, he even forgot to get up.

Realizing that it was impossible to defeat him, these Beiluo people fled to the other side of the alley in panic.

The man didn't chase, but stood in place, watching their backs, and with a wave of his right hand holding the sword, Ji Han's heart subconsciously jumped.

However, the man just threw off the blood from the blade, and the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, and the blood was like splashed ink.

At this moment, another man with a knife appeared at the other end of the alley, who seemed to have been blocking there for a long time. Ji Han saw that the other person's face was familiar, and it was Xu Yan.

The remaining enemies could not survive a few rounds under his hands. If viewed from a distance from above, the corpses were like mosquito blood all over the white wall, lying horizontally on the ice and snow ground.

That person is Xu Yan, and the identity of the man in front of him is self-evident. Besides, there are not many people in the world who are so skilled in swordsmanship. Ji Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up against the wall, "Are they Who sent it?"

Xie Linze casually put down his hood, "I want to know too, but unfortunately I don't have time to chase after it."

What did Ji Han hear from his words, "Chasing? You have been following me?"

"As soon as you leave, we will follow you." Xie Linze said.

Ji Han gritted his teeth, the punch from the Beiluo people was still hurting, his voice seemed to come out from between his teeth, "Then why didn't you strike earlier?"

"I thought they just wanted to take you away." Xie Linze said meaningfully, "Who knew they were going to kill you directly. It seems that someone already knows your identity."

If you are suspicious of Ji Han, you will definitely confirm that he is a Zhaoren, and then arrest and torture him, but these assassins have no intention of interrogating, and directly kill people, which means that the other party understands that Ji Han's existence is something that must be eradicated stumbling block.

Ji Han couldn't care less about getting angry when he heard this sentence, and his face changed several times, "These barbarians are so daring!"

"Don't think too highly of yourself, Ji Shoufu, you almost died in their hands just now." Xie Linze chuckled.

Xu Yan, who had dealt with the enemy head-on, came over, "Let's go."

Ji Han asked hesitantly, "Where are you going?"

Xie Linze: "The enemy is unknown now, don't rush back for now, go to Goulan with us."

"Is it safe there?"

Xie Linze: "It's not safe."

Ji Han has been in a high position for these years, and he always thinks twice about his actions. This time, he almost disappeared in Beiluo, so he couldn't help but put away his anxiety and contempt. Hearing what the other party said, he immediately became vigilant, "What? It's not safe to go do what?"

"Anyway, Baijumen is guarding, and He Liancheng's spies are haunting, most people dare not act rashly." After Xie Linze explained, he gestured to Xu Yanbi.

Before Ji Han could react, Xu Yan grabbed his collar and flew onto the roof, stepping on the tiles from the window back to the railing.

He was thrown in a corner of the room like a sack, Xie Linze ignored him, said a few words to Xu Yan, took off his cloak and fox fur, and sat cross-legged by the stove in only a red robe.

Xie Linze has learned a lot of Beirao dialect recently, and he has almost understood the most basic ones, but he is very interested in grinding Xu Yan's patience, struggling with his pronunciation over and over again.

Xu Yan sat down opposite him, holding the Beiluo ancient book and the homonym of the Chinese characters on the pen, with a focused and calm expression.

The two people kept their heads down and read the book together with their foreheads touching each other. Ji Han on the other side looked at them with his mouth open in astonishment. Is it like this all day long?! I’m still here, shouldn’t I discuss the countermeasures for this assassination first?!”

The two raised their heads, and Xie Linze changed to a more comfortable sitting position, "You have to know that killing people is very tiring, don't we want to rest?"

"If you can save yourself, don't you need to stay here?" Xu Yan who was interrupted said calmly.

Ji Han's chest was so violently heaved by the two men's attack on the opposite side, he couldn't say a word. After a few breaths, he walked to the side, pulled out a cushion roughly, and sat down by the fire, After recovering, he said in a sinister tone: "Xie Linze, don't you have any conscience yet? Who am I running so far for? Who cleans up the mess in the capital? If it wasn't for me..."

"Stop!" The other party's tone was like a resentful woman, Xie Linze got goosebumps all over, and quickly changed the topic, "Let's discuss countermeasures, did you show any flaws on the way to Beiluo?"

Ji Han was dissatisfied in every way, so he took a breath and held back: "I came to Beiluo according to the news from Baijumen. I didn't stop all the way, and I didn't rest in front of Beiluo people. It's impossible to say that my identity was discovered."

Xie Linze fell into deep thought, did not speak, the room was silent for a while, Xu Yan suddenly said: "Then before going to Beiluo?"

Ji Han looked up at him.

Xu Yan said in an orderly manner: "Even Baijumen didn't know you came to Beiluo, so it's impossible to leak the news. Since you haven't been noticed on the way, then the news can only come from the capital."

Xie Linze followed his thoughts thoughtfully, "It will take half a month to travel from the capital to Beiluo, but if Feige sends a message, it only takes half the time, which is enough for them to arrange killers. But if this can be done, and will There is only one person who sent the message."

Ji Han was stunned, "You said Qingci? He's not in Beiluo, how could he summon assassins to work for him so quickly?"

"Qingci colluded with Fei Lian, the Zuoxian King of Beirao." Xie Linze touched his chin, "I'm just curious now, how did Qingci know so well that you will come to Beirao, and know when you will arrive?"

The flames in the stove danced, with occasional sparks flying from the charcoal.

The details are intricate, Ji Han was still thinking about it, but Xie Linze continued to say: "The Zuoxian king is powerful, you will cause me trouble if you continue to stay here, just go out and find another place to live."

Ji Han immediately looked at him in disbelief, "Aren't you sending me to the wolf's mouth by doing this?"

Xu Yan also looked at the man beside him.

Xie Linze showed a narrow smile on his face, "Let's go with your twenty or dozens of guards."

Ji Han looked at him, then at Xu Yan, and said word by word, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"The door is there, walk slowly." Xie Linze lowered his head again and flipped through the ancient books.

Ji Han waited for a few breaths, but he didn't see him talking again. He was so angry that he got up and walked out with a bang, and slammed the door behind him.

Xie Linze clicked his tongue, turned his face to Xu Yan, and said, "He has a really big temper. It's all the chief assistant who is used to it for a long time. When I return to the court, I will definitely let him go."

Xu Yan shook his head amusedly, "Seriously, what are you going to do with Fei Lianshu?"

Xie Linze thought for a while, "He Liancheng once said that there will be a gladiatorial match in two days, right? The slaughterhouse is open, this is a grand event held by King Beiluo himself, do you think Fei Lianshu will appear?"

Slaughterhouse is a common name among the people, because fighting like gladiatorial matches, which kill each other, has always been regarded as a tradition by the Beiluo people who advocate force. Once there is only one person left to live, people fight like animals. different from slaughter.

The arena built of rocks is located in the center of the dungeon, surrounded by circular stands, rising step by step, and the top is completely open to the air, so you can see everything in the arena clearly.

On the day of the opening, He Liancheng said it was a grand event, but he was right. The surrounding stands were packed, and Xie Linze and Xu Yan found a corner to sit down.The arena was full of shouts, mixed with various Beirao accents, which made people's ears hurt. The people who came to watch were not only the residents of Wangcheng, but also Beirao who came all the way from other towns to have a look. There are not a few people.

Xie Linze knew that according to He Liancheng's behavior, his reputation among the people would definitely not be low, but when he appeared, the crowd was full of shouts, which was far beyond expectations.

Because Beirao is different from Dazhao, the imperial power does not have such a high status, sitting in the position of King Beirao and relying on the shadow of ancestors for generations will not work. If he is incapable, let alone a courtier, the common people will not agree.

He was the first person to walk up to the stone platform, and He Liancheng turned the long and narrow scimitar in a circle, this action coupled with his smile, was extremely rampant, but the crowd erupted deafeningly again.

After a while, someone came up from the other end. Ordinary people could not compete with He Liancheng. Only a general who had experienced many battles and was recognized could compete with him. It was a coincidence that this general was a little familiar. He was the one who caught Zhou Gongsun Ye of Yuanyuan.

He was tall and strong, with strong strides, and he showed no fear in the face of He Liancheng. Holding a spear in his hand, he saluted Bei Rao with one hand, "Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gesture of saluting suddenly changed, the veins on the muscles of his right arm bulged, and he swung the spear as fast as lightning, and the point of the spear gleaming with cold light pierced He Liancheng's heart!
