The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao left the capital, not just walking away, but following the court's footsteps to find the whereabouts of Yuan Qingzong.

She disguised herself as a young man and, over a period of half a year, intentionally or unintentionally guided the officers and soldiers to find the locations of many of Yuan Qingzong's assassins.

It can be said that in the past six months, all the secret assassins of Yuan Qingzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty were killed by her.

Over the past six months, she didn't dare to say that Yuan Qingzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been completely eliminated by her, but at least his vitality was seriously damaged, and he dared not to lay a hand on the Great Zhou for the time being.

Even if the Third Prince came to the throne now, Xu Yao believed that with a brain as smart as the Third Prince, he would not allow Yuan Qingzong to hang the knife around his neck.

Therefore, Xu Yao was not worried that Yuan Qingzong would make a comeback soon.

The purpose of her doing all this was not to consider the court, nor to kill all of Yuan Qingzong's assassins, but to find Yuan Qingzong's lair.

The most vicious ones are the leaders of this group. They control the killers under them and deprive them of their freedom. Most of these people, like Zhang Yao, were sold to Yuan Qingzong since childhood and suffered countless hardships. In order to survive, they became killers under Yuan Qingzong.

Of course, there are also some people who are greedy for killing, power and wealth, and are willing to degenerate and become killers.

Xu Yao never shows mercy to people like this.

But if she meets those who have long wanted to leave Yuan Qingzong, she will show mercy and give them a way out.

Xu Yao hid very well, and those people were unaware of her existence. They always thought that the imperial court was pursuing Yuan Qingzong and wanted to kill them all.

After half a year of investigation, Xu Yao was certain that the guardians of Yuanqing Sect hated her to the extreme.

Her words that even if only one person of Yuan Qingzong was left, he would kill all members of the Great Zhou royal family were enough to make the entire Yuan Qingzong family panic.

Now she came to Shizigou just because she heard that there might be Yuan Qingzong's lair in Beichen Kingdom, so she must go and take a look.

On the other hand, the treasure that Zhang Yao left to Zhao Xi is in Beichen Kingdom. In the past six months, Xu Yao has spent a lot of money to avenge Zhao Xi and get rid of this resentful ghost as soon as possible.

This time, she naturally wanted to get the money.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was another heavy knock on the door downstairs.

This time, the waiter had just opened the door when he was violently pushed to the ground.

Several officers in official uniforms entered the store aggressively. As soon as they came in, they accused the waiter and cursed: "Damn it, why did you take so long to open the door?"

Wang Liu saw that the officials were so aggressive that he did not dare to provoke them. He swallowed his saliva and tried to please them carefully: "Sir, please forgive me, sir, please forgive me, I am a little slow, please come in."

As he spoke, Wang Liu wiped the table, poured them some good tea, and after the people came in, he hurriedly closed the door.

Xu Yao saw these people, who were escorting seven or eight people in rags and shackles.

The officers and soldiers drove those people into a corner and told them to stay there quietly. They also ordered the waiter to serve them some delicious food as soon as possible. They had been traveling all the way and were tired and thirsty.

The passengers who came in front did not dare to come closer after seeing this situation and sat down in the corner.

The officer asked the waiter, "Are there any guest rooms available?"

The waiter looked at the people and said, "There are a few rooms left, but there are too many of you. I'm afraid they may not be enough."

The officer slapped him in the face and said, "Are you stupid? The old men can live in the house, but these guys live in the stable."

The waiter was slapped innocently, but he dared not say anything and could only smile and say, "I'm so confused, so confused, I'll arrange it right away."

Xu Yao looked down and found that the prisoners were in tattered clothes, with stains on their faces and messy hair. It was impossible to tell what they looked like.

She couldn't help but sigh, and didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.

At night, the wind and sand finally died down. Just as Xu Yao was about to take a rest, he heard the guards driving the prisoners to the stable.

If someone walked a little slower, the soldier would raise his leg and kick him hard.

"Fuck you, if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have to work so hard."

The person who was beaten dared not say anything and could only keep trying to please others.

Xu Yao thought that it was probably impossible to get any money out of these people, so these soldiers were so angry about bullying the prisoners.

If I could squeeze out some money, I wouldn't necessarily be so unhappy.

After venting their anger, the officers and soldiers in the back mountain locked everyone in the stable and strode away.

Xu Yao felt sympathy in her heart, but she suppressed it. She warned Zhao Xi not to be overly sympathetic when she saw someone in pity. Has she forgotten the mistakes she made before?

"You see these people are pitiful now, maybe they are all bandits who have killed countless people, otherwise they would be driven here by these soldiers?"

Zhao Xi's sympathy that had just risen was suppressed again. "What you said makes sense, but that soldier is too cruel, don't you think?"

Xu Yao sighed and said, "If these people are really evil, how can the soldiers suppress them if they are not more ruthless? Do they expect them to be obedient by talking politely? That's impossible. Evil people need to be dealt with by more evil people."

The prisoners who have committed serious crimes may be more ferocious than these officers and soldiers.

After Zhao Xi heard what she said, it seemed to make sense.

That strange feeling of kindness and compassion was finally suppressed.

Xu Yao still couldn't sleep well at night because she heard crying, and it was quite miserable.

When I woke up the next day, I found out that a prisoner had died of a high fever the night before.

The officers and soldiers just felt that it was bad luck. While asking people to deal with the body, they crossed out a name on the notebook. Just like that, a person was gone.

The wind and sand outside had stopped. Xu Yao settled the room fee and rode away on his horse.

What she didn't know was that ever since she led the horse away, a pair of eyes had been following her.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get up."

Someone whipped him hard and laughed at him: "What? Do you still think you are the prince of the Duke's Mansion? Do you want to sleep until noon?"

Pei Shuo glanced at him expressionlessly and stood up obediently.

The man sneered complacently, no matter how high and mighty you were in the past, once you fall into the mud, a plucked phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken.

Aren't we just letting these soldiers abuse us at will?

It’s a pity that she is not a girl, otherwise it would be more fun and the journey wouldn’t be so boring.

Pei Shuo ate the steamed buns distributed by the officers and soldiers, and thought about the receding figure, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

I must be dazzled, otherwise why would I think it was Xu Yao.

That person was already dead and burned to ashes, wasn't he?

After the meal, the officers and soldiers continued on their journey with the prisoners.

According to the walking speed, they will reach their destination in three days.

After handing over this group of officials and prisoners, they were finally able to go back.

However, man proposes, God disposes. When they reached the narrow part of the valley, they happened to encounter a group of masked bandits in black.

For a time, danger was lurking everywhere.
