Song Yingbai looked at Li Zhen with firm eyes, "Don't worry, I will never hold back."

Li Zhen smiled, and took his hand away. The timing was just right, and it was captured without arousing his suspicion.

At this time, three officials escorted two children and came in. One of them took off his hat and slapped the dust on it, "The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger. Shopkeeper, bring me some wine and food."

Stay overnight tonight, and start to travel tomorrow morning. If you travel fast, you will be able to reach the military garrison in the evening. Once the two children are handed over, they will be considered as having completed their mission and can go home.

There have been many bumps and bumps along the way, and I have finally survived until now, seeing the dawn of victory.

The officials couldn't help but relax a lot, ordering dishes and drinking hot wine.

At this moment, the man in the bamboo hat who was sitting by the wall, who had been silent all this time, got up suddenly, came to the officer, and questioned in a low voice: "What crime did these two children commit? Come where the eggs are laid."

His companion, another person wearing a bamboo hat, rushed over to drag him, "Brother, you drank too much."

The officials were displeased when they saw that this man was tall and he was a Lianjiazi, but they did not dare to refute too harshly, "There is the seal of the Ministry of Punishment on the shackles, what crime did you commit, you can ask the Ministry of Punishment."

At this time, Wu Ning saw the needle, smiled and said to Pi Shaotang: "Hey, aren't you guys from the Ministry of Punishment? I dare to feel sorry for this child."

In a word, the already turbulent situation was once again brought to the brink of detonation.

Song Yingbai and Li Zhen were sure that the shopkeeper Wu was just trying to make trouble, and they wished that everyone would immediately annihilate and kill no one left.

When the officials heard this, they looked suspiciously at Pi Shaotang and the others. Are they from the Ministry of Punishment?

Pi Shaotang glanced at Wu Ning, what's the matter with this old thing?He took the initiative to get up and came to the officials, sat down and laughed in a low voice: "We are here to catch the Jiangyang thief Sha Lifei, have you seen it?" Then he took out something and showed it to the other party.

Song Yingbai knew that when the Dongchang gang came out, they must have prepared a full set, and it was normal to bear the name of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

"Sha Lifei hasn't seen it, but Handi Yasha has seen a few." One of the officials said, suddenly, he saw Song Yingbai and Li Zhen, and excitedly slapped the arms of his colleagues next to him: "Isn't it those two who helped you?" Is it our hero?"

Seeing that they were recognized, Song Yingbai and Li Zhen waved their hands calmly.

Pi Shaotang was stunned. It turned out that Li Zhen and Song Yingbai were really watching the whereabouts of the two children of the Yu family in secret, not to deceive him. They followed the two children of the Yu family along the way, and even helped the escorting officials on the way. Then came to this inn to wait for them.

Team leader Huang in the official post poured a glass of wine and came to Li Zhen and Song Yingbai, "Come on, I, Mr. Huang, toast you."

Pi Shaotang rolled his eyes, stepped forward with the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Haha, Mr. Huang, these two are also from our criminal department. If you don't believe me, you can ask shopkeeper Wu."

Song Yingbai looked at Pi Shaotang with a smile, you reacted quickly, you pushed the boat so quickly and posted it to prove yourself.

But in this case, he can't say no, after all, there are people in this room who know that they know each other, such as buddies, such as Xiao Shaozi, let's see how Wu Ning answers.

Wu Ning said with a bright smile: "Yes, yes, they do know each other."

"Hahahaha, come, let's have a drink." Bantou Huang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Song Yingbai, Li Zhen, and Pi Shaotang also drank the wine.

Since they have reached out to help them, and they are all members of the government, and their relationship is so good, let's move to the same table for dinner, just to have a chat.

Huang Bantou asked the staff to put the table together, and everyone sat together to eat and chat happily.

Huang Bantou's thinking was actually very simple. Although he was approaching the camp, the last few kilometers were the most dangerous. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the man wearing a hat with a bad face. He was afraid that it was the killer sent by Yu Yuxuan's opponent.

So when I saw people who were also members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I felt that they were very reliable, so I hurried up to make connections and seek protection.

Pushing cups and changing cups here, it’s very lively. On another single table, Yu Xin and his younger brother Yu Guang ate in silence while wearing shackles. The shackles were very heavy and rough. At first, the wrists and necks were worn out and blood was drawn, and then they were tied together. Scabs were formed, and then they were worn out. After repeated calls, calluses were born, so they were not afraid of grinding.

It's the same with people. When Yu Xin encountered an accident, she cried at first, but later found that even if she cried to death, she couldn't change anything, so she held back her tears. Gradually, she didn't know whether she was strong or numb. When she encountered pain again, she No more tears.

"What are you wearing?" Wu Gong stepped forward suddenly, looking at the shackles of the Yu family siblings curiously, "Is it because your neck is afraid of the cold?"

Seeing Wu Gong, who was about the same age as her but carefree, Yu Xin couldn't tell what it was like, so she glanced at him and said nothing.

The younger brother Yu Guang said: "It's so heavy, I don't want to wear it either."

Wu Gong had never worn this thing before, so he was quite curious, "Then you don't want to wear it, can you wear it for me?"

Yu Xin said calmly: "Then you can come and get it."

Wu Gong thought that the other party really wanted him to take it by himself, but actually stretched his hand towards the shackles.

At this time, an official who was drinking, heard their conversation, turned around and said: "Whose child, take it away quickly, and don't talk to the imperial court prisoner."

Ning Caichen was inattentive and told Wu Gong to run away, and quickly stepped forward to push his shoulders, and took him upstairs, "After dinner, hurry back to the room and sleep."

But Wu Gong said: "Father, are they also imperial criminals?" He remembered hearing Ning Caichen say that they were wanted because of imperial criminals.

Ning Caichen covered his mouth, smiled awkwardly at the others, and carried him upstairs.

The two wearing hats quickly finished their meal and went upstairs to the guest room.

Xiao Shaozi drank silently, thinking, it seems that the officials are planning to get close to the people from the Ministry of Punishment and seek protection, but it doesn't matter, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

He put down his wine glass, picked up his knife, and went upstairs.

Song Yingbai and his group were left to eat wine, and when the feast was over, they went back to their respective houses.

Once back in the house, Pi Shaotang discussed how to kill them all, especially the three tolerances, who, as officials from the government, had seen their faces, so they must not stay.

Mao Congxian said in a low voice: "Head, what about Li Zhen and Song Yingbai? What about the centipede?"

Pi Shaotang thought for a while, "The centipede has a man with him watching, I don't think it's a big problem, so leave him alone. As for Li Zhen and Song Yingbai, you go over and invite them to come."

Mao Congxian opened the door and went out. The corridor and the lobby were dark, and he couldn't see his fingers. He touched Li Zhen's door, passed a note through the crack of the door, and then touched it back silently.

He believed that Li Zhen and the others would never fall asleep, they were vigilant about everything around them, and they would definitely see the note passed through the crack of the door.

The fact is the same, seeing the note passed through the crack of the door, after discussing it, they came to Pi Shaotang's house.

Pi Shaotang knew that time was precious, and besides, everyone is a sensible person. The so-called wise people don't speak dark words, but straight to the point. You guys accommodate."

The brothers and sisters of the Yu family are the prey of Dongchang, and they have nothing to do with Li Zhen, but since they have deceived the old eunuch, they have to make some money anyway, "It is possible, but..."

Pi Shaotang leaned forward and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, just open your mouth."

"Go back and tell Cao Xiaochuan, Mr. Cao, that Song Yingbai is my man. I hope he will hold his hand high. He offended him before, but it's all in the past. I hope he won't hold a grudge and embarrass Song Yingbai."

Song Yingbai was standing next to them, and the moment Li Zhen said this, all the eyes of other people in the room fell on him, staring at this person who was "cared for" by Master Li.

Song Yingbai has a thick skin and can bear it. No matter what he thinks, he can smile in cooperation.

Pi Shaotang was stunned for a moment, then laughed hoarsely: "It's easy to say, easy to say, I will definitely pass it on."

Li Zhen nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said bluntly: "Then we won't bother you." He got up, glanced at Song Yingbai, and the two went out in tacit understanding.

When they left, Xu Jing frowned and said, "So they came here to catch us in exchange for Song Yingbai's safety?"

Mao Congxian put his shoulders on his shoulders and snorted, "I understand, and I'm a little touched."

Pi Shaotang said seriously: "Don't talk about them, since Li Zhen promised not to meddle in other's business, let's act tonight. Three officials and two little bastards will be left behind. As for the others, we will get rid of them too. Those who can be killed will not be left behind."

Originally, they planned to borrow this inn and leave no one alive after finishing their work, but they had to rely on those who did not leave, such as Xiao Shaozi, and those who did not have long eyes to barge in, such as the pair of people wearing bamboo hats.

Then don't let them be cruel, if you want to blame them, blame them for bad luck.

Pi Shaotang said again: "Xu Jing, you will release the drug in a while to stun everyone in every room, and then you will each lead a team to let bloodletting room by room."

At this time, someone suggested: "In this case, why not let Li Zhen and the others..."

"No, Li Zhen must have told the people in Jinyiwei during this trip. If he dies here and we go back safely, their people in Jinyiwei will not let it go, and maybe they will stab the emperor. So, look for it later Come on, don't go into their room." Pi Shaotang glanced at the clepsydra, "Get ready, after half an hour, start on time."

"Yes."

-

In the shopkeeper's room on the first floor, Wu Ning called the fat and thin guy and the cook and guy in the kitchen, and put his savings for many years on the table, "Take it well, there are three camels in the circle, you ride fast, go wherever you want Whichever direction you go, don’t look back.”

The fat man looked at the sky outside, "Shopkeeper, even if you want to drive us away, you have to wait until dawn. Besides, we don't want to leave."

Wu Ning waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, you guys go, if you don't go, you will all die."

The thin man refused, "Shopkeeper, why did you die?"

"Let me tell you directly, because of Lao Xu's death, I was so angry that I wanted to vent my anger. I planned to make them angry and vent this anger, but they didn't agree, and now I also feel angry. It may not be all dead, maybe the murderer is still alive, I can't help but think about it more and more, and I can't help it for a quarter of an hour."

The thin man knew that the accountant was dead, and was about to say something.

I heard Wu Ning continue: "It's still that I don't have enough concentration, I have a strong temper, and I can't change my bloodthirsty nature."

Hearing the shopkeeper blatantly say the words bloodthirsty nature, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The kitchen clerk said: "Shopkeeper, how did accountant Xu die? Could it be this group of people who did it? If you want revenge, we will stay here to help you."

Wu Ning frowned and said: "Don't say anything, just go, I'm about to lose control of myself, I'm so angry, I want to kill everyone."

Everyone saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were gradually turning red with a murderous look, and wondered if the shopkeeper was hiding a peerless master?Anyway, he didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he didn't dare to say anything more, took the money on the table, and went out quickly.

Wu Ning knows that he has a bad temper, so he doesn't get angry easily, and always greets people with a smile, just to avoid disputes and troubles.

After all, it is not easy to do things like guarding, and it is very troublesome to change identities after something happens.

But today, he, who has not vented his anger for 30 years, decided to restore his bloodthirsty nature tonight.

-

Song Yingbai and Li Zhen sat on the ground, leaning on the cabinet with their backs as a cover.

According to the situation last night, you can't sleep on the kang, even a knife is light, and it's not impossible to be shot into a porcupine.

He and Li Zhen now only hope that the people in Dongchang will leave as soon as they finish their work, so that they can continue to investigate the Hellwell.

There was a basin of cold water between them, and two towels were placed on the rim of the basin. This was done to prevent that fellow Xu Jing from taking drugs.

He doesn't know about others, but he has confronted Xu Jing head-on, and he knows his attributes of using drugs well.

Not surprisingly, Pi Shaotang would ask Xu Jing to put medicine in the corridor, and after everyone fainted, he would enter the room and kill him.

This is very in line with Dongchang's style of acting secretly and not keeping alive.

As for whether the two of them will be involved, it's hard to say. Logically, it shouldn't be, but we have to guard against it. If Dongchang dares to come in, he must fight back in order to protect himself.

Li Zhen's sense of smell is better than his, and the two of them kept silent in the dark. After about half an hour, Li Zhen suddenly said, "No, cover your nose."

Song Yingbai dipped the towel in water, covered his mouth and nose, tried to breathe slowly, and opened a small gap in the window for ventilation, as long as he didn't move around and take a big breath, he wouldn't be fascinated.

After a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of stepping on the floor in the corridor. It must be that the people from the East Factory started to act.

Suddenly, Song Yingbai noticed a red light outside the window, shining into the room, and he touched Li Zhen wondering.

Li Zhen was also puzzled, but it was strange to say that the red light flashed briefly, and when Li Zhen came to the window to look, there was nothing left.

He looked at Song Yingbai puzzled.

Song Yingbai couldn't figure it out, what the hell?

-

Ning Caichen made up his mind, the shopkeeper must know the way out of the customs, if he doesn't tell, he won't leave, just fight with him, anyway, he's staying here.

He went back to the room and fell asleep early, and slept soundly.

But he was woken up by Wu Gong in a daze, and Wu Gong said with a smile: "Father, someone put poison."

"Ah?" Ning Caichen was a little stunned: "W-what poison?"

"It's the kind of poison that will make people faint when they smell it." Wu Gong is a poisonous substance, and anything with a touch of poison can't escape his nose. Although the drug hasn't floated here yet, he has already smelled it. arrive.

Ning Caichen still believed him, hurriedly got down to the ground, soaked a handkerchief in clean water, covered his mouth and nose, and said worriedly: "What, what's going on? Could it be that this is a black shop, trying to rob us?"

It's really scary.

Wu Gong was very happy. After a while, everyone fainted, and he could go and play with the big toy worn around his neck.

-

Xiao Shaozi held the treasured sword and sat upright in the dark. The noise downstairs had ended half an hour ago, and now it was deathly silent.

Guessing that everyone had fallen asleep, he took a deep breath, stood up and quietly opened the door, poked his head out to look at the tolerance room, and suddenly saw two people wearing bamboo hats standing at the door of the room, Looking in through the crack of the door.

He was taken aback for a long time since he thought these two people were weird, and they really came after the two children.

Without thinking about it, he pulled out the dart and threw it towards the backs of the two.

As soon as one of the bamboo hat men raised his hand, he caught the dart and threw it back angrily.

He caught it, put it back in his sleeve, then slowly pulled out the knife, and walked towards the two of them, but faced with his approaching step by step, this person did not back down at all, just lined up side by side in this narrow corridor, Going to fight.

But such a fight would obviously alarm other people, so Xiao Shaozi was a little hesitant, but at this moment he had no other choice.

Just as the two groups of people were getting closer, suddenly, he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve. Although he didn't smell any peculiar smell, the sudden feeling of dizziness was definitely caused by someone releasing it into the air. Drugged.

The two people in bamboo hats also noticed, and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. One of them might have inhaled a lot, and instantly supported the wall. , regained sanity.

Both of them knew that the drug was coming in a strange way, and there was no further delay, so the man in the bamboo hat instantly gave up his challenge to Xiao Shaozi, kicked open the door of Tolerance's room, and rushed in.

At this time, Tolerance and the Yu family's children in the house had long since fallen asleep.

The three of them went straight to the water basin, cut off their sleeves one after another, soaked them and tied them to their faces.

Then one of them, a tall man in a bamboo hat, fought against Xiao Shaozi, and the other, a short and fat man with two children in his arms, jumped onto the kang, intending to go out through the window.

How could Xiao Shaozi let them get away, while fighting with the bamboo hat man in front of him, he moved towards the window, as his movements increased, his breathing became short of breath, he couldn't help taking a few mouthfuls of the drug, and his head was a little dizzy, but the bamboo hat stopped him The person's condition is not very good, obviously more top-heavy than before.

The fat man in the bamboo hat who was holding the child noticed something strange, and blurted out: "Sister, if you save the child, I will come to the rear."

As soon as the words fell, a group of people rushed in from the door of the house, each holding a shining sword, with towels tied around their mouths and noses.

Seeing that the three of them were not stunned, Xu Jing said angrily, "Kill them!"

Xu Jing and his group soaked the antidote in their wet towels, and the effect was not comparable to that of water, even if they gasped for breath, it would not be a problem.

Xu Jing jumped onto the kang, put the knife across the window, and said to the fat and strong bamboo hat, "Don't try to escape." As soon as the words fell, he cut at him without hesitation.

The man in the bamboo hat wants to protect the child, his hands and feet are bound, and he is far less flexible than Xu Jing. In order to protect the child, he was stabbed in the back.

"Brother——" Another man with a bamboo hat was distracted, and someone picked up his bamboo hat, revealing his true face. Although there was no wax, everyone's eyes had long been accustomed to the darkness, and it was vaguely visible that this person had soft facial lines and was a woman. Mutually.

Xu Jing had long thought that one of the bamboo hats looked like a woman, and as expected, he couldn't help but hate: "Are you Fu Qingfeng?"

"Grandma isn't Fu Qingfeng!" She really isn't Fu Qingfeng, she's just the daughter of a martial artist named Tian Hui. She and her elder brother Tian Yi like to make friends with some chivalrous people at home. When they heard that Yu Yuxuan's children were in trouble, they came thousands of miles to rescue them. .

But Xu Jing didn't believe it. The scholar with the centipede essence came and said she wasn't Fu Qingfeng, who would believe her, "You are Fu Qingfeng! Take your life!"

He gave up on the man in the bamboo hat who had been cut with a knife, and came to kill this woman.

Xiao Shaozi saw that the man in the bamboo hat was protecting the two children, and this group of people who called themselves the Ministry of Criminal Affairs wanted to hack them to death regardless of whether they were enemies or friends. Only then did he understand that they were actually a gang, all for the sake of saving the children.

At this time, seeing someone coming to kill this woman wearing a hat, they rushed over to help and fight against the coming person together.

Xu Jing was not afraid of Xiao Shaozi, no matter how advanced his martial arts were, as long as he continued to fight, sooner or later they would inevitably faint from inhaling the drug.

Tian Hui also realized this, and shouted to his brother: "Take the child away quickly, and leave me alone! Otherwise, we will all die!"

Xiao Shaozi thought the same way, but Tian Yi couldn't give up on his sister and was hesitant. At this moment, Xiao Shaozi decided to be the bad guy, rushed to Tian Yi, and with all his strength, knocked him out of the window while holding the child.

There was a lot of wind and sand outside, and Tian Yi, who breathed in the fresh air, immediately became clear-headed, and ran away with the child with tears in his eyes.

Blown by the wind, Yu Xin dimly opened her eyes and looked at the sky, "Why are there two red moons?"

At this time, Xu Jing in the room put the blade on the back of Xiao Shaozi's neck, who was obviously moving slowly, and cut it lightly.

The sharp knife that broke his hair instantly cut into his neck, and blood gushed out.

Tian Hui was also dizzy from inhaling the drug. She cut her arm again, but it didn't work. She felt dizzy and difficult to stand still.

Xu Jing knew that she was not threatening, so he ran to the corridor, and Pi Shaotang who was waiting said to Mao Congxian, "The fat man in the bamboo hat ran away with the child, take someone to chase after him!"

Because the room was narrow and there were too many people fighting, no one entered the room. When he heard that the two children of Yu's family had run away, Pi Shaotang said angrily, "Why did you let them go? What else can you do?!"

Xu Jing's subordinates wanted to save Xu Jing's face, and said loudly, "But Fu Qingfeng was caught."

Pi Shaotang continued displeased: "Fu Qingfeng is a fart!" He said to others: "Come on, follow me out to chase! You don't need to kill if you see personality!"

He took Mao Congxian and other subordinates and chased them out.

Their conversation clearly reached Li Zhen and Song Yingbai's ears, the child ran away, and Fu Qingfeng also came?

However, this has nothing to do with them.

But Ning Caichen couldn't calm down when he heard the word Fu Qingfeng. Did the people from the Ministry of Punishment catch Fu Qingfeng?Where, where?

He bit his lip and scratched his hair in pain, but in the end he couldn't just sit idly by, "Wu Gong, let's save Fu Qingfeng..."

Wu Gong sighed: "Father, you are really in love."

Ning Caichen stammered, "I...I...it's...not...I just...can't control myself..."

"Okay, let's go." Wu Gong opened the door and took a look, "No one, go quickly."

At this time, everyone Xu Jing led was inside the house, and the others led people outside to chase after him, but there was no one in the corridor.

The two of them tiptoed into Tolerance's room. At this time, the room was lit, and the Tolerant's neck on the kang was broken, and blood flowed all over the floor. The young man surnamed Xiao was also lying on the ground, with a pool of blood beside his neck. , definitely can't live.

Xu Jing picked up the candle and brought it to Tian Hui, looked at it, and said disappointedly: "It's not Fu Qingfeng."

Tian Hui leaned back against the back of the chair and was in a coma.

Ning Caichen wanted to leave as soon as he heard that it wasn't Fu Qingfeng, but felt that it was unreasonable for these men to bully a woman, and was hesitating whether to help, when Xu Jing found out.

Xu Jingzao's eyes were red, and he was even more jealous when he saw Ning Caichen and Centipede Jing. He swung his knife and slashed at them without thinking.

Wu Gong pushed Ning Caichen aside and hit him on the back. Fortunately, his skin was thick enough. Although it hurt, it was not broken, but he grinned. He seemed to remember that this person had hurt him before...

Ning Caichen yelled, "Run, let's run, you must not kill anyone."

Wu Gong had no choice but to run downstairs with Ning Caichen, and Xu Jing behind him was relentless, but no matter how relentless he was, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the inn, the wind was blowing the sand and the visibility was extremely low. After catching up with Ning Caichen and the others, they disappeared into the sand and lost their direction of pursuit.

"Ah—ah—a monster—" In the sandstorm, Mao Congxian's screams were heard, followed by several horrific screams.

Xu Jing guessed that Mao Congxian met the centipede spirit, and shouted angrily: "You have the ability to come to me, hurry up, come to me!"

The sky was full of dust, he yelled in circles, but the surrounding was deadly silence.

He rushed in several directions indiscriminately, but didn't come across anything.

Suddenly, he felt a red light above his head, looked up, couldn't help but backed away in fright, turned around and ran instinctively.

This is not centipede essence, centipede essence is not so big.

-

Song Yingbai and Li Zhen were in the room, listening to the movement outside.

From the beginning of the fight in the tolerance room, to Pi Shaotang and Mao Congxian chasing people out, to Xu Jing chasing and killing Ning Caichen, they both heard it clearly.

Now that the scuffle is over, the room is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop on the ground clearly.

Li Zhen said: "Strange, why didn't the people who ran out come back? Listen, Xu Jing should have caught the younger sister in the bamboo hat, but the elder brother ran away with the child. Then Xu Jing should come back, It is right to use my younger sister as a bargaining chip to coerce my elder brother to hand over the child."

Song Yingbai listened to the strong wind howling outside, "You won't get lost, right? The sandstorm is so big."

Suddenly, the red light appeared again. This time, the two of them came to the window without hesitation, opened the window and stuck their heads out to see what it was.

Li Zhen saw clearly what was in front of him, and thought a little excitedly, this must be the legendary envoy guarding the Hell Well, and it really is here!

And Song Yingbai saw two red moons hanging in the sky, he looked at it carefully in a strange way, and his eyes widened in fright.

There are two red moons there, clearly the eyes of a giant python as high as a hill.
