However, Guan Yue and Jingzhao were not as comfortable as they were. The two arrived at Nanling after the explosion. They were searched by soldiers rushing up when they got off the boat. The official document was released after revealing the identities of himself and Liang Jingzhao.

But General Qin Zhaoyi couldn't come to see them, he was busy dealing with the explosion that just happened, and ordered his subordinates to take them to another courtyard that had been prepared if they saw Guan Yue, and come to entertain him after he finished his work.

Guan Yue and Jingzhao were very careful this time because of the matter in sealing the capital before. When they saw the accompanying soldiers leave, they immediately started to look around, fearing that there might be some dangerous items hidden around. Jingzhao even asked a little worriedly, "Is this Qin Zhaoyi reliable? He won't be another You Buqing, right?"

Guan Yue briefly met Qin Zhaoyi two years ago. At that time, just after the festival, the other party was invited to a banquet in the palace, and the two were arranged to sit together, and then chatted for a few words.Guan Yue thought for a while, and said, "It should... be reliable."

"Should?" Young Master Liang raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, and raised his voice, "You don't know him well, so how did Pingwei let us both?"

"..." Guan Yue recalled guiltyly that he had said to Heping Wei in the dungeon before, that he knew Qin Zhaoyi very well, and the other party asked him to come here. He said vaguely, "Don't worry about it, it's now What, take a break or go to find that Yang Zhirong now?"

"Let's go now," Young Master Liang was very motivated, "I'm afraid she will run away if I go later, after all, her task of blowing up the city has been completed."

"Not necessarily," Guan Yue said, "Maybe she will wait here for people from Donghu to come over to help her, but it's better if we go now."

"Well," Liang Jing answered, put down the luggage with him and walked out of the other courtyard, "Are you tired? If not, I can go by myself."

"It's okay." Guan Yue rode on the horses that the soldiers had prepared for them in advance, and raised his whip, "Let's go."

Nanling was very lively tonight. Although most of the residents were far away from the explosion, some people were startled and went out to whisper.A large number of soldiers appeared in the city, just in case there was a spy from Donghu. Qin Zhaoyi received a letter from Guan Yue two days ago. As soon as he learned of the changes in the city, he decisively sent additional troops around the moat and went to the explosion site himself. , intending to find all suspicious clues before dawn and start clearing the roadblocks.

You Buqing did not tell Guan Yue the specific address of Yang Zhirong, but only said that the other party opened a rouge shop. According to speculation, Yang Zhirong should open a shop in the most prosperous place in the city. She chose to open a rouge shop because women would come to it in their spare time. Discuss gossip together so that they can collect intelligence and be less easily discovered by the government.

Guan Yue and Liang Jingzhao stopped in Lihua Lane, they searched around, and finally a shop called "Qinglian Rouge" caught their attention.

"If this store is opened by that Yang Zhirong, then she is quite romantic." Young Master Liang stopped in front of the store, looking at the signboard with great interest, "Qinglian and Lihua, this person's name is also It's related to flowers and plants, which is interesting."

Guan Yue glanced at him wordlessly, "Why, are you still poetic?"

"No," Liang Jingzhao smiled, "Should we just unlock it and go in, or ask someone where she lives?"

"Open the lock directly," Guan Yue said, "Don't waste time."

"Okay," Young Master Liang took out a small wire from his belt, and unlocked the door in threes and fives, tilted his head to Guan Yue, and the two walked into the dark rouge shop together.

"Should have brought an oil lamp," Liang Jingzhao said angrily when he couldn't see anything after walking a few steps.

Guan Yue fumbled inside, found an object in the shape of an oil lamp, and took out a fire box from his arms, "It's all right," as soon as he finished speaking, the store immediately lit up, and he looked up at Jingzhao not far away. , but the moment the other party turned his head, his expression suddenly changed, Young Master Liang blurted out, "Be careful—!"

Guan Yue looked back suspiciously, and saw a woman suddenly appearing behind him, staring at him sullenly, holding a short knife as long as a forearm, and stabbing straight at Guan Yue's left shoulder.

Guan Yu was terrified, and retreated quickly, but it was too late, the short knife pierced his shoulder accurately, and at the same time, Jing Zhao, who was behind him, also pulled out the long sword from his waist, and flew towards the woman.

Guan Yue hurriedly stepped aside, stepped aside and covered his wound, frowning.

The woman was very skilled, she jumped back sideways, holding a short knife in each hand, staring at Liang Jingzhao murderously.

Liang Jingzhao didn't talk nonsense with her, and leaned forward, pointing his long sword straight at the opponent's throat. The woman raised her hands and clamped his sword with two short knives. , while turning sideways to the right, trying to pull the woman towards him.

Seeing this, the woman quickly let go of the knife in her hand, but at this moment Jing Zhao was already very close to her, and he raised his leg to kick the woman in the abdomen.

The woman was startled suddenly, and wanted to back away, but it was too late, Jingzhao kicked her abdomen heavily, and stepped back after hearing a muffled groan, jumping up and stabbing like a flowing movement. to her left shoulder.

The woman received a sword, and looked at him even more sinisterly. She clenched the short knife in her hand with a cold face, stared at Liang Jingzhao's throat, and rushed towards him.

Young Master Liang's expression didn't change, he took the fight calmly.

In this dimly lit rouge shop, the two fought inextricably, sharp weapons hitting and colliding made harsh sounds, Guan Yue stepped aside, and he didn't help, because he believed that Liang Jingzhao could deal with the assassin alone, with him alone Maybe get in the way.

For a quarter of an hour, the woman gradually lost the wind, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She raised her eyes angrily and looked at Liang Jingzhao, who was expressionless, so her eyes fell on the burning oil lamp on the wooden table behind her, and she felt a sudden feeling in her heart. had an idea.She retreated sharply, and when the blade touched the lamp, she hit the entire oil lamp towards Jingzhao.

Liang Jingzhao lowered his face, and raised his hand to split the whole oil lamp in two—then the shop returned to darkness.

This move was really insidious, Guan Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, stepped back vigilantly, leaned against the cold wall and listened to the surrounding sounds with his breath held.

Jing Zhao sneered, "Do you think you can beat me like this?"

When he was a child, his father was very strict with him. He trained him according to the pattern of military training in the military camp. Although he did not specifically teach him how to fight the enemy in the dark, sometimes General Liang wanted to torture his son when he was interested, and he would let him Blindfold his eyes with a black cloth and engage in melee combat with him.

In the rouge shop, Liang Jingzhao stood tall with a sword in his right hand. He closed his eyes and listened intently to every slight sound.Suddenly, with a movement of his finger, the long sword that fell on the ground immediately pierced to the upper right, and at the same time, his shoulder turned to the right——

In the darkness, the woman jumped to the table silently. She had a serious face, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and pointed the sharp blade down at Jingzhao's unsuspecting neck—she thought she would succeed, but in fact, she was about to succeed, but she didn't Thinking that the vicious Daqi people would actually notice her, and mercilessly raised his sword and stabbed her abdomen.

"..."

The sword passed through the woman's body. The woman trembled and spit out blood uncontrollably. Liang Jingzhao pulled out the sword and hit her injured left shoulder with a palm, pushing the woman off the table to the ground.

"Guan Yue," he couldn't see anything, walked up to the woman when he heard the voice, and said coldly, "Give me another oil lamp, or we can drag this person outside and interrogate him."

If he dared to attack his companions in front of him, he might be tired of his work.

Guan Yue went to the counter in the dark, found another oil lamp, lit it, and carried him up to Jing Zhao. The man stepped on the woman's right leg, fixed her left leg with a sword, squatted down beside her, and said ,"Who are you?"

"Why should I tell you," the woman trembled in pain. She didn't expect this man to be so cruel to her, and even deliberately stabbed her left leg after the injury.

In fact, Guan Yue was also a little surprised. His original impression of Young Master Liang was that he was a bit of a simple and honest foodie. Although he was very skilled, he seemed very bold, and his attitude towards him was not as good as that of His Highness. But tonight Afterwards, he would have to look at each other differently.

"Does it hurt?" Young Master Liang moved his sword, even pulling the flesh of the woman's left leg. He said expressionlessly, "You shouldn't have done anything to my companion, Donghu people."

Guan Yue noticed that the woman's face didn't change at all, and obviously accepted Jing Zhao's last address, so he asked in surprise, "Are you Yang Zhirong?"

"Well," the woman replied disdainfully.

"Did you expect us to come over tonight, and deliberately ambushed here?"

"Ah."

"You guessed that You Buqing would expose you?"

"He's not from Donghu in the first place, and if something happens, it will definitely expose us," Yang Zhirong replied kindly.

Guan Yue nodded, and looked at Liang Jingzhao, "Look at her here, I'll go find some other clues in this store," to see if I can follow the clues to find other Donghu people.

Caretaker Jing turned to Yang Zhirong, "How did you get in touch with other accomplices?"

"I won't tell you even if I die," Yang Zhirong had a very bad impression of Liang Jingzhao, she stared at him, and replied very fiercely.

"Heh," Young Master Liang laughed, looking at the short knives that the woman had randomly kicked aside by him, picked up one of them, and casually played with it in his hands. He looked into the eyes of the woman and asked thoughtfully, "Why did you choose to open a rouge shop?"

"You do not know?"

"Guess a little bit, you can find out some new news from the woman's mouth, right?" Liang Jing looked at Yang Zhirong, who was very beautiful, but... "I think you can open a rouge shop and explain yourself I am also very concerned about my appearance, maybe..."

The movement of his hands stopped, and he swiped quickly, leaving an obvious knife mark on Yang Zhirong's face, extending from the end of the right eye to the corner of the right mouth, across half of the face, "Do you like this?"

Liang Jingzhao asked softly, his voice sounded cruel.

Yang Zhirong froze for a moment, and then there was a tingling pain on her face. After realizing what the other party had done to her, she screamed and struggled frantically like a collapse. However, the sword inserted into her left leg went deep into the floor, her abdomen and left shoulder The injury caused her to be unable to sit upright at all.

—like a fish on a chopping board.Guan Yue stood at the counter and gave them a sympathetic look. Before, he praised the girl's name as very interesting, but now he wants to disfigure her.

He sighed and continued to rummage through the boxes.

"You must die..." Yang Zhirong cried out tiredly, stared at him with hatred, and said word by word, "I will never let you go in this life, you'd better kill me now, otherwise... ..."

She couldn't finish speaking, because Liang Jingzhao scratched her face again, and he interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me what I want to hear, who else is from Donghu in Nanling? What's their name."

Yang Zhirong vomited some blood again, she said slowly, "I will never tell you...even if you die..."

Jing Zhao smiled, "Are you forcing me to kill you now? Impossible, I will let you live well before asking what I want." After a pause, he said, "Or It’s living in pain.”

What he said sounded very frightening, Yang Zhirong thought, she must remember this man, remember what he did to her tonight, if she is lucky enough to escape in the future, she must repay it a hundred times and a thousand times.

Guan Yue searched for a while in front of the counter, found two books from the dark box, and looked at them under the oil lamp. They seemed to be ledgers, which recorded the monthly expenses of the rouge shop. He walked to Jingzhao, "You said Is it possible that she exchanged information with these stores under the guise of doing business with them."

"Is it possible to find anything else?"

"Nothing."

Liang Jingzhao stood up, "We will take Yang Zhirong back for interrogation."

"Okay," Guan Yue said, "Is there a sack here?"

"There should be," Jing Zhao looked at his back as he walked away, drew the sword from the woman's leg, and knocked her unconscious to the ground.

Guan Yue found a sack inside, and the two expertly put Yang Zhirong in it, Liang Jingzhao carried it on his shoulders, and walked out of the store.At this time, a soldier happened to pass by on patrol. Seeing Jingzhao with blood on his clothes, he immediately walked towards him vigilantly. After Guan Yue explained the situation to him, the soldier changed his expression and looked at the two respectfully, indicating that he would meet in the early morning. Seal the store and ask them if they want to help transport people back.

Guan Yue looked at Jingzhao, the other party nodded, and then the three came to another courtyard, Guan Yue asked the soldiers to put down the sack in the courtyard, Jingzhao dragged the bag into the courtyard, Guan Yue stayed where he was and talked to the soldiers sentence.

He asked, "Have you, General Qin, finished your work? What's the situation at the junction now?"

"The general is still dealing with it. The plan is to start cleaning up the scene before dawn. There are also residents living near the junction, and it is said that they were all bombed out."

"...Is he looking for traces of explosives?" Guan Yue asked.

"Ah."

"If our interrogation is over and General Qin hasn't finished yet, can we go directly to the junction to have a look?"

"It should be possible. I will ask the general for instructions later."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

Guan Yue glanced at the soldier and asked a little more, "What's your name?"

The soldier hesitated, "Zhu Xianzhi."

"Well, let's go." Guan Yue waved to him, turned and walked into the yard.
