Zhang and his soldiers chased the alleys across the Qinhuai River, but found that the assassins had broken into pieces and sneaked into various households. The assassins were wearing the outfits of ordinary people before, and at this time it was like a rock sinking to the sea, making the official army unable to find a point of focus.

It is not practical to search from house to house. These assassins have meticulous plans and must have arranged their identities in the city. It is a dream to find out in a short time.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhengwei decided to report to the governor Wang Jun first, maybe he could close the city gate first and then make plans. However, when he returned to the previous street and reported to Wang Jun, he saw him shook his head and said, "This matter ends here. There is no need to block the city gate, nor does it have to pursue it."

Wang Junyun's calm attitude made Zhang Xiaowei very confused, but he also guessed that this assassination had something to do with the power behind Wang Jun. It was thought that the use of the power of the official army was too loud and it was difficult to have practical results. It is naturally best to use the power of the people to deal with civil organizations.

He ordered people to restrain all the bodies of the dead guards. After choosing a date to be buried, Wang Jun returned to his mansion under the escort of the officers and soldiers, and then wrote a letter in the study, put it on the feet of the pigeon, and let it fly from the window.

However, the pigeon flew for only a hundred meters and was caught by a man. He took off the envelope and checked the contents of the letter. He tied the letter and released the pigeon.

Wang Jun in the study room shook his head, wrote another letter, handed it to a confidant in the mansion, asking him to send it to Bianliang in person.

The next morning, in a courtyard guest room, Xu Ziling slowly woke up and slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly he realized something, turned around and saw a beautiful woman who was holding her head and fell asleep beside her bed.

The woman's beautiful face was a little haggard, and she seemed to have not slept all night. Looking at her face a few more times, Xu Ziling felt a little familiar. She suddenly remembered the girl dressed in a man outside Xuzhou City. It was really her. She was very surprised how she fell asleep beside her bed.

Xu Ziling quickly got up, sorted out his clothes, and shouted softly: "Miss Shishi?"

The sleeping woman heard the sound, rubbed her eyes, and saw Xu Ziling staring at her. The sleepy woman suddenly woke up and said happily, "Brother Xiaoling, are you okay?"

When Xu Ziling heard this title, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Shishi, aren't you taking care of Liu Jingsheng in Fuli County? Why are you here with me?"

The woman's eyes suddenly burst into tears, she choked a few times, and said to Xu Ziling: "Brother Xiaoling, I am Mingxia."

When Xu Ziling heard the name that only the girl who was called back then, he was struck by lightning and said in a daze: "Are you Mingxia?"

After gently stroking the tears, the woman whispered: "After you led the Liao people away, I ran around for several hours and fainted on the side of the road. Later, the caravan passing by saw me and took me with me. A man from the caravan, named Wang, saw that I was pitiful and accepted me as his adopted daughter, so I went south to Jiangning with him. Later, I asked my adoptive father to help inquire about your whereabouts, and the news I received said that I was the only one who survived in the village. I thought you, you..." As he said that tears flowed out again.

Knowing that the woman in front of her was Mingxia whom she was looking for, Xu Ziling felt like she was waking up from a dream. Seeing her pear blossoms with rain, she couldn't bear it and gently wiped away her tears and said, "I'm not living well, crying so ugly, don't cry anymore."

The woman burst into tears and smiled: "It's ugly."

...

After that, the two sat by the bed and slowly told each other about the past few years. Xu Ziling told Mingxia about his main experiences from meeting his master to today. Li Mingxia listened carefully. When he heard Xu Ziling telling the story of fighting wits and courage with his master Zhou Tong, Zhan Yan would occasionally chuckled a few times. When he heard Xu Ziling leave his master and head south to look for her, he was moved again.

After Xu Ziling finished telling his story, he stared at Ming Xia’s beautiful face and listened to her telling about her experience.

Since she was adopted by a Wang Shin-wai, she has lived in Jiangning for four years and met Liu Jingsheng, who lives in the neighboring courtyard. Wang Shin-wai treated her very well and lived a wealth of wealth in those years. Until three years ago, in the seventh year of Zhenghe, Wang Shin-wai was suddenly confiscated for selling private salt, and Li Mingxia was sent to the Kyoto Jiaofangsi. She was only thirteen years old at the time.

She was about to fall into chaos, but fortunately met a noble man who took care of her relationship and transferred her to the alum building and became a polite prostitute. Although she was still a prostitute in name, it was much better than staying in the tutorial office and being at the mercy of others.

After that, she settled in the alum building and changed her name to Li Shishi. When the house manager Qing saw her, she liked her very much and tried her best to cultivate her. After three years, she became famous in the entire capital. A month ago, she asked Aunt Qing for leave and wanted to go back to Jiangning to see her former residence. Originally, it was impossible for women in the brothel to get such freedom, but Aunt Qing trusted her from the bottom of her heart and allowed her to return to Jiangning.

After that, she went south with her maid Yue'er and met Liu Jingsheng in Xuzhou City. Later, she met Xu Ziling outside the city. Because she was worried about being injured, she forgot to ask him for his name, and the two missed it. Later, after Liu Jingsheng said that, she knew that Xu Ziling happened to go to Jiangning, so after Liu Jingsheng recovered his ability to move, she left Yue'er to take care of him. She went to Jiangning to find Xu Ziling.

She asked around the city and searched for several days, but she didn't get any news about Xu Ziling. Until last night she saw the Mid-Autumn Festival night scene and wanted to go back to the former residence she had lived in before, she met Xu Ziling on the road.

Mingxia spoke for a long time, and her speech was neither fast nor slow. There was no sadness that had been through long-term twists and turns in her words, but only the joy of finally reuniting with Xu Ziling. For her, as long as the result was good, it would be enough.

When Xu Ziling saw her relaxed expression of those bumpy experiences, she felt extremely distressed and reached out to hold her hands tightly.

After being in a brothel for several years, she has dealt with all kinds of people. The woman is also versatile and good at dancing, but her cheeks are red because the boy in front of her holds her hands.

Looking at the woman's blushing face, Xu Ziling felt refreshed and smiled and said, "Mingxia, do you still remember what you promised me when you were a child?"

Seeing his smiling face, Mingxia didn't know what he was thinking. She had a stern face and pretended to be cold and said, "Young and ignorant jokes are innuendo."

Xu Ziling smiled even more: "Then I don't care, I'll identify with that follower anyway."

Seeing his scoundrel appearance, Mingxia couldn't help it for a moment and laughed out loud: "You are still that scoundrel."

Seeing her smile open, Xu Ziling was also happy. Thinking of her current identity, she said seriously: "Mingxia, I don't want you to leave me again. No matter what, I will go to Bianliang to redeem you."

Li Mingxia looked at his firm look and chuckled, "Don't worry, I can actually redeem myself long ago, but because I have no place to go and want to repay Aunt Qing's kindness to me, I have not left. Now for you, I have to be ungrateful."

Xu Ziling immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said, "That's good. There's nothing wrong. I'll accompany you to Bianliang and take you back to sell your contract. By the way, take you to find my master and let him see you too."

When Mingxia heard that she was going to see his master, she was a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything to refuse. Suddenly she remembered what Fang Jie said last night and asked, "I heard from Brother Fang that you were poisoned. Do you feel anything?"

When Mingxia mentioned it, Xu Ziling suddenly remembered that it seemed that something had been bitten by a bit last night, but now there was no abnormality on his body, and the empty true energy in his body had also recovered. With his feelings, he touched the place where the neck was bit last night, but there was still nothing unusual.

When Mingxia saw him touching his neck, she reached out and turned his head down and looked at his neck. However, she saw a green mark where he was touching just now. The mark was very small and it would be difficult to find if she didn't look carefully.

"You have a blue mark on your neck."

Mingxia reached out and stroked the mark, and found that the mark looked like a birthmark.

As he was talking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Fang Jie pushed the door into the room, and heard the two of them talking about the green marks, saying, "Brother Xu, you have been poisoned by the girl Qingspider, but don't worry, this poison will not harm you, it will just make you become that way, huh... Yes, love money."

Xu Ziling and Li Mingxia didn't quite understand and looked at him in a daze.

Seeing the two sitting on the bed like a young couple, Fang Jie winked at them and explained: "The poisons of the colorful spiders in Miaojiang are all mental toxins and will not cause harm to the human body, but will affect people's way of thinking. The poison in the blue spider in you is said to inspire greed and original sin. To put it bluntly, you will become very greedy for money, and even say that you forget your righteousness when you see profit."

Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, remembering Gongsun Yu and a purple spider, and asked, "What will happen if you are infected with the purple spider poison?"

Fang Jie smirked when he heard this and said, "Then you have to die on the woman's belly." After that, he thought of a woman next to him, and scratched her head awkwardly.

Xu Ziling was creepy when she heard this. Fortunately, she was infected with the Green Spider Poison, otherwise he really didn't know what to do. He didn't feel anything strange about this "greed" poison at the moment.

Then Fang Jie told the two about spider poison and told them that the poison was almost impossible to solve, but the poison would dissipate by itself, but it would take a long time.

Finally, Fang Jie's expression changed and he said, "Brother Xu, I received the news that my family wants me to go to Hangzhou, and now I am here to say goodbye to you."

In recent days, Xu Ziling has heard a lot of news in the neighborhood market, rumored that a "Holy Lord" in the south was about to rise up, and the Holy Lord happened to be surnamed Fang. He couldn't help but think of Manichaeism and Fang Baihua's actions to raise gold, silver and food, which must be closely related.

At this time, he heard Fang Jie also going to Hangzhou. Xu Ziling knew that they might have made a big move. He stood up and hugged Fang Jie heavily, and said seriously: "Brother Fang takes care of him all the way. After I handle Mingxia's affairs, I will go to Hangzhou to find you and Sister Baihua."

Fang Jie nodded heavily and smiled, "Then I'll wait for you and your younger brother and sister in Hangzhou."

Mingxia, who was beside him, heard this and quickly lowered her head, but her haggard face turned a little rosy.

Xu Ziling hugged Fang Jie and fisted. Fang Jie punched him back, said nothing more, and turned around and left with ease.

After Fang Jie left, Xu Ziling looked back at Mingxia and suddenly remembered that she hadn't been sleeping for almost a night until now. She immediately carried her to the bed without saying anything, and pulled her over the bedding and covered her with it.

Mingxia was blushed by Xu Ziling's tough and gentle movements. She lay on the bed, watching him tidy up the corners of the quilt, and her heart was warm. She accidentally smelled the masculine aura in the quilt, which made her blush and her heart beat more. She gently pulled the quilt and covered her head.

Xu Ziling chuckled gently, letting her sleep with peace of mind, and then gently closed the door and left.

When he left the door, Xu Ziling touched his pocket and found that there was less than 5,000 taels of silver on his body. He murmured: "I'm almost out of money, how can I make money quickly?"
