Po's mind went blank for a moment.

The masked man in black withdrew his glance, spurred his horse, and galloped into the dark and gloomy snowy night.

But Po kept looking at the masked man in black on horseback.

Because Xuanyuan Wu died, she never understood what Qinnan's real purpose was in assassinating the old emperor?

She had imagined countless possibilities tonight, but she never expected that Xuanyuan Wu was still alive.

When A Bao thought of the three baskets of gold and silver paper money that she had burned for Xuanyuan Wu that day, she couldn't help but feel extremely sad and angry. She was deceived by Xuanyuan Wu again.

But in addition to grief and anger——

Qi Niang, Xuanyuan Wu, Pei Guichen, Gu Qijue behind the Western Prison Tiger Guards...

Just like spider silk weaving into a web, some bright and some dark, she suddenly understood many things.

On this New Year's Eve, Pei Guichen suddenly appeared in the Xipin Woku. Across the mountain from the Xipin Woku was the Western Suburbs Liangshan Camp.

Qiniang, a subordinate of Pei Guichen, failed in her attempt to assassinate the old emperor and was arrested, but she was still satisfied and even mocked and shouted, as if she was sure of victory.

At the same time, Qinniang was captured, and those who escorted her were Gu Qijue's Western Prison Tiger Guards.

A Bao clearly remembered that in his previous life, Gu Qijue was one of Pei Guichen's most powerful allies.

Thinking of this, A Bao looked around the dilapidated shack, and finally, in the light of the torch, he saw Pei Guichen standing in the shadows.

Pei Guichen listened to the assembly horn of the Liangshan camp coming from afar, and then looked at the Western Prison Tiger Guards who were chasing Xuanyuan Wu all the way, and his mind sank.

Qiniang is the confusing smoke in this game. What he really wants is to use Qiniang's assassination to focus the attention of everyone in the palace.

In this way, Gu Qijue can take advantage of the chaos to help Xuanyuan Wu escape from the predicament.

But in the night, Pei Guichen looked at A Bao's bright eyes from afar, but felt a little hesitant: After this deadly game tonight, will A Bao be further away from him?

At this time, A Bao withdrew his inquiring gaze from Pei Guichen, and instead handed the child in his arms to Deputy Envoy Cao, and ordered Deputy Envoy Cao to take his men to protect the villagers in the shack cave.

Just now, in order to hunt down the masked man in black, the Western Prison Tiger Guards rushed into the shack, causing a huge commotion, which completely destroyed the little trust that Abao had worked so hard to inspire.

The light of fire and the smell of blood intertwined, and the villagers in the shacks were like frightened birds, with expressions of doubt and uncertainty on their faces, and some even wanted to hide again in panic.

What’s worse is that some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and fish in troubled waters.

A Bao remembered that in addition to the old soldiers of the Liangshan camp who were killed by the greedy General Zhou, there were also some villagers whose origins were unknown.

At this time, Abao couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had made arrangements in advance.

The third group she separated from the government office was originally used for patrolling to ensure the safety of the villagers in the shanty towns. Now, with A Bao's order, this group of people formed a human wall, half for protection and half for deterrence to stabilize the chaotic scene of disaster relief in the shanty towns.

Suddenly, there was the sound of another group of horses galloping towards them.

There were so many people coming that the snow on the broken walls and ruins was constantly shaken off by the sound of horses' hooves. The wild dogs in the huts began to bark wildly, one after another, forming a continuous trend.

Po looked back following the sound of horse hooves.

At the end of the narrow path, Gu Qijue was seen galloping towards us on his horse.

"Uu——"

Gu Qijue tightened the reins, the horse raised its hooves and neighed, and stopped in front of A Bao.

In the light of the torch, A Bao saw Gu Qijue and was immediately furious. "Commander Gu is really busy tonight."

Gu Qijue frowned coldly, "Your Highness, I have been ordered to hunt down the fugitives. Liangshan is very dangerous right now. Please return to the palace for the time being."

A Bao really wanted to slap Gu Qijue.

But she still gritted her teeth and clenched her fists silently, resisting the urge to take action.

A Bao asked coldly: "Is Fifth Brother still alive?"

Gu Qijue still had that gloomy look in his eyes, like the Black Impermanence. “After the prince met with you that day, he confessed that there was someone else who was secretly helping him.”

"Your Majesty stayed with the king for two more days in order to find out the truth."
