double ring

Liu Zheng had already undressed and went to bed, when he heard a squeak, the closed door suddenly opened.He subconsciously turned over.The moon was covered by thin clouds outside the door, and the leaves of the trees rustled under the slightest night wind.He didn't go to light the lamp anymore, he went directly to the ground, walked over and closed the door.Before he could turn around, he suddenly heard a low voice calling from behind: "Eunuch Liu..."

He couldn't help but froze, turned his head abruptly, and immediately his hair stood on end: "Zhan...Zhan...Ghost!!!"

Zhan Zhao was half hidden in the shadows, and smiled slightly: "Eunuch Liu, please stay safe!"

"You...what do you want to do..." Liu Zheng wanted to keep calm, but his eyes couldn't help but kept glancing at the head of the bed.

Zhan Zhao is so perceptive, seeing this situation, he walked over slowly.A page of book was pressed under the pillow, Zhan Zhao took it out and gently shook it away.Even though the light is dim, it can still be seen that the words written in the text are not ordinary words.

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "My father-in-law has become more cautious in his actions in recent years. It seems that he is still 'loyal'."

He only relied on conjectures to give no details, but Liu Zheng felt guilty.Four years ago, the letter from King Xiangyang to him was accidentally intercepted by Zhan Zhao, leaking the agency.Although Zhan Zhao had been silenced, it was still scary, so from then on, the King of Xiangyang did not dare to be careless, and he and his henchmen no longer communicated in plain text, and they were much more cautious in all aspects.Now in Zhan Zhao's hands is such a secret message from Liu Zhengbei.

Liu Zhengzao was frightened, and although he wanted to stop him, he couldn't move: "You...you want to kill yourself, don't look for me, I didn't kill you!"

"What did Eunuch Liu say?" Zhan Zhao took two steps forward.

"Don't come here!" Eunuch Liu hurriedly backed away and slammed into the door of the house, not caring about the dead of night, he exclaimed loudly, "Zhan Zhao! It's the prince who killed you, it has nothing to do with me! Why are you pestering me so hard?" !!"

Zhan Zhao smiled warmly: "Eunuch Liu misunderstood. I just want to tell Eunuch that even though Zhan Zhao is dead, he still dare not forget his duty of 'guarding'..."

"Help me..." Liu Zheng was so frightened that he ran out of the door, his legs became weak and he collapsed in the corridor after only a few steps. Scared, actually fainted from fright.

Zhan Zhao watched from afar, and sighed while resting his forehead.So daring to participate in the rebellion? !There were footsteps not far away, there must be palace people who heard the movement and rushed over.He casually put the letter beside Liu Zheng, and quietly left the palace.

Zhan Zhao went back to his house and rested for half the night. When he got up early the next morning, he went to a few armory shops, bought a long sword that was still handy, and put on saddles and bridles for his horses After waiting for things, he left Kaifeng.

"Where are you going?" Yupei couldn't help asking in the baggage.

"First go to Zhongmou to find Yuehua, then turn to Xiangyang."

"Is that so?"

"Then, according to the two of you, what should Zhan Zhao do now?"

"Don't worry, wait a minute! Didn't you scare Liu Zheng by pretending to be a ghost? He yelled so loudly that the whole world could hear it. Can the emperor not be suspicious? This is the turning point for you to be rehabilitated! In a few days, wait a little longer." If there is any progress, you can go to your master Bao. Then you and Bai Yutang will go to Xiangyang together! Ding Yuehua, you don’t have to worry, she is fine and nothing will happen. It won’t be long before Bai Yutang dies You must have seen her before..."

"What are you talking about Bai Yutang?" The rein in Zhan Zhao's hand tightened suddenly, and the crotch horse neighed and stood up, stopped immediately, and spun a few times on the spot with the sound of hooves.

Bai Wei knew that she had slipped her tongue, but relying on her ability to control the development of the situation and control the power of life and death, she didn't take it seriously: "Bai Yutang is going to the Sky Tower!"

"So what?"

"Where do you think the Sky Tower is? To explore the sky and get the alliance letter, is there such a cheap thing as success without killing someone? Generally speaking, the one who died is either you or Bai Yutang, who wants to get out of the body." , the chance is not great!"

Qingmei quickly interrupted: "That's fine, what are you talking about? I don't agree with letting Zhan Zhao die there!"

"I didn't say let him die. Isn't this arranged for Bai Yutang?"

Zhan Zhao's heart sank: "It's man-made, even if the skyrocketing tower is very dangerous, we will work together to deal with it carefully, can't we save Brother Bai's life?"

"Everything is fate, and it is not in control!"

Zhan Zhao frowned.His thoughts turned darkly, and he didn't answer any more, he let out a loud scold, and left in the dust.

Zhongmou County is adjacent to Kaifeng, Zhan Zhao is non-stop, but it will arrive in half an hour.He galloped all the way, passing by a forest, suddenly he heard a child crying loudly in the forest, vaguely shouting "let me go home".He couldn't help being suspicious, subconsciously reined in the horse's head and stopped, tied the horse to the side of the road, and turned back on foot with his sword in hand.His footsteps were very light, and he found the source of the crying in a short time. Under the cover of vegetation, there was an abandoned earth temple.He hid his figure at the door, held his breath, and was just about to poke his head in for a closer look, when he heard someone yelling and shouting, the child screamed in terror and cried even harder.Immediately afterwards, there was a conversation.

"what are you doing?"

"Howling so loudly, it's annoying!"

"Then don't beat it with your hands, it won't be easy to sell if it's broken! Just keep your mouth shut."

"Cry again! I'll sell you to a vicious family, and beat and scold you every day!"

"This kid looks good, and he can be sold for a good price. Whether he is beaten or scolded, what does it matter to you and me? It's more serious to take him away from Zhongmou, meet them, and find a buyer."

……

This kind of dialogue is accompanied by the crying of young children, which is particularly harsh.Perhaps the child was really gagged by them, and the crying turned into whimpering.

On the way, I also heard that there is a case of abduction and trafficking of young children that has not yet been solved, and it is likely that I have met it now.Such things, of course, have to be managed.In terms of the right path, one should not startle the enemy, hoping to follow the vine and solve the case in one fell swoop; it's just that it's hard for me to do it alone, and if I do that, it will inevitably take time and time, and I still have important things to do, so I don't know if I can take care of it?But if he immediately rescued the child inside, even if the two were arrested and he appeared as a witness under a pseudonym, the evidence would be too limited.Is it lynching punishment? —— Zhan Zhao thought to himself: I haven't done this for many years.Besides, with the child in their hands, if they do it face to face, they will inevitably throw a mouse.What's more, the naive and innocent, he has already been frightened, and the knife is shining, I'm afraid it will stain his eyes and cast a shadow on his young heart.

I only heard the two of them talking a few more words, listening carefully, I know that one of them is called Zhang San and the other is called Li Si. It seems to be a partner with seasoned experience and tacit cooperation.Not long after, Li Si offered to come out to buy food.Zhan Zhao lightly picked up a few small stones from the ground, waited him into the woods, and followed him quietly.

Zhang Sanku waited for a while, and couldn't help looking out, but was surprised to find that Li Si's back was hidden by the bushes, and there was another person beside him, sitting side by side, as if they were talking about something.He couldn't hold back his surprise and curiosity, and quietly approached him, but he heard a strange voice say: "I'll take a look at the goods later, if it's really good, the price is easy to say. It's just a deal between you and me, why let others make money for nothing?" .Your companion, as I said before, is tied up and handed over to the government." Zhang San was startled, and then he was even more surprised to see that Li Si nodded his head.He hated in his heart, and for a moment hesitated whether he should go forward to argue or run away with the child as soon as possible, but the stranger suddenly turned his head, and his sharp gaze made him tremble all over.Something seemed to come through the air, before he could react and dodge, Zhang San was already unconscious.He didn't have time to see that without the support of that person, Li Si's body that was sitting upright immediately collapsed.

Zhan Zhao inspected the two of them one by one, both of them had been hit in the acupuncture points and passed out on the ground, it seems that it would not be a problem to lie here for a day and a half.Zhan Zhao tore off their two skirts, tore off strips of cloth to bind their hands and feet, gagged their mouths, and hid them in a bush.After finishing the processing, we returned to the Earth Temple just now.

The poor toddler was sitting on the ground with his knees bent, his head bowed, not knowing what he was doing, when Zhan Zhaofu came in, he raised his head in fright, and a small piece of cloth rolled on the ground.The child was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person in surprise, curled his lips and was about to cry again.

This is a very beautiful boy, about two or three years old, with a broad forehead and big eyes, he looks smart and cute, and the way he curls his lips and sobs is even more distressing.

Zhan Zhao first smiled at him, and stepped forward to untie the rope for him.As soon as he touched his body, the child shrank back involuntarily, obviously still in shock.Zhan Zhao quickly broke into the gentlest smile, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Uncle has no malicious intentions and won't hurt you." He gently untied the child's rope, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the child's mouth. After drying up the tears, he nodded in approval and said, "You are great, at such a young age, you also know how to wipe off the gag by yourself while the bad guys are away. And, thanks to your crying so loudly, I can hear it."

The child blinked his big bright eyes: "When I heard the sound of horseshoes, I cried hard!"

"You're really smart!" Zhan Zhao smiled more and more kindly, tentatively stroking his hair lightly.

The child looked at Zhan Zhao, gradually no longer guarded, but became trusting.
