On the dark roadside, the light of the horse lantern was dim. A man lying on the ground, his head was covered with a cloth bag, and his legs were twitching. Soon he heard the sound of an axe smashing his skull. The black shadow of the axe was reflected on the ground, shaking constantly.

The people on the ground gradually disappeared without making a sound. The black shadow took the axe and panted and carried the still soft body on the horse's back. He led the horse back for a while, then left the road and walked towards a dark forest.

After entering the forest, he tied the horse to the trunk and lifted some branches randomly. He saw a deep pit inside. So he carried the body and threw it in, digging out a shovel from the soil to start shoveling the soil.

...

In the inn on the east side of Taishi Shandong, people were fetching water to put out fires. The untidy tourists stood in the yard with noise and panic. Several big men stood at the gate with swords, weapons, bows and arrows in their hands, shouting: "No one is allowed to leave! Those who trespassed will be killed without any worries!"

In a house upstairs, Jing Niang said quietly: "There is also something that the master blocks the arrows for his subordinates. Why do you do that?" Guo Shao didn't seem to hear it. He tapped his fingers on the table twice, looking confused, and seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

Jing Niang whispered again: "If you have any problems today, what's the point of living?"

She had cleaned the wound for Guo Shao and stopped the bleeding. She looked for gauze around and wanted to bandage him. But she couldn't find it, so she picked up a short knife and cut a piece of it on her robe, but threw it away immediately... Maybe it was too dirty and thick. She suddenly turned red and reached into the collar and pulled it out, pulling out a translucent and light red thing with a strap on it, and then passed through Guo Shao's armpit to wrap the arrow wound under his collarbone.

At this time, Guo Shao came to his senses and looked down at him wearing a tube top, "This..."

Jingniang whispered: "There is a rush, don't bother me."

Guo Shao ignored it, picked up a robe and covered it with his body, and said, "Send someone back, bring dozens of personal soldiers here, and completely control the inn! Lu Chengyong!"

"I am in a humble position." A strong man walked to the door.

Guo Shao said: "You go back and lead the troops... and go find paper and pen. I will write a note. I will first find Zuo You, and then gather people. Don't move the soldiers on duty in the mansion. Luo Mengzi stays and needs to help me."

When the paper and pen were brought up, he picked up the pen and wrote. At this time, Lu Chengyong asked, "Lord, do you want to report to the official?"

Guo Shao often ordered this man to do things, just because some of his personal soldiers couldn't even call out his name, and he was familiar with Lu Chengyong. Moreover, this man was still diligent in every job, and he was actually a smart young man.

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought about it and said, "Don't rush to report to the official. We must first examine the survivors. No one is as trustworthy as we do this. After dawn, I will send Luo Mengzi to take the letter back and report to the guards' Ma Busi."

After writing the letter, he gave the instructions. Guo Shao kept clearing his thoughts in his mind. At this time, he heard Luo Mengzi say, "Li Chongjin did that dog, right? Mother! Brother, after this matter is over, you say something, I, Luo, go and kill that guy!"

Guo Shao glanced at him and cursed: "If you don't ask, you will kill the general. Will you run away? Tang Bing Xishi is going to remarry. I really can't bear to see my brother and sister go to sleep with other men."

When Luo Mengzi heard this, his face was very embarrassed.

Guo Shao no longer paid attention to him. At this time, it is useless to think too much. You have to grasp the key and distinguish between tightness and tightness. Living is the key! Guo Shao said: "Have you caught two people? Go and go and take a look immediately. Never let them die!"

As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw Fairy Bai and Miss Li coming. When Miss Li saw Guo Shao, she said pale and said, "General Guo, are you injured? I don't know what will happen... It's all my fault for letting you come. Do you blame me?"

Guo Shao comforted with kind words: "If I hadn't been to Datong Temple, you wouldn't have been frightened. No one was blamed for this matter, so how could I blame you?"

After saying that, the two of them said together, "It's fine if you're fine."

As soon as they finished speaking, they realized that they were talking in unison, as if they had agreed, not even a word was bad. They looked at each other and a blush appeared on Madam Li's cheeks.

Guo Shao said: "I have something important to do. Madam Li stays with her family. After dawn tomorrow, I will send my personal soldiers to escort you home."

After saying that, he walked towards the stairs without looking back.

When they reached a room inside the gate, they saw two Chinese characters tied to a chair with cloth blocking their mouths. They looked at the new person with fear.

The personal soldier next to him said, "One of them was caught in an arrow on the thigh and was caught by us. The other climbed the stairs from the courtyard wall to the east, rolled down and injured his leg. When we chased after him, we happened to catch a person. These thieves came prepared. Several stairs were prepared on the wall to climb the courtyard wall. There were horses outside. I heard the sound of horse hooves, but it seemed that there were only one or two horses. It was just too dark and we didn't have enough staff. We heard General Luo say not to chase him far away, so we didn't dare to chase him."

While listening to the personal soldiers' reports, Guo Shao walked behind the prisoners, grabbed their hands and looked at one of the strong men. He was about to ask questions, but the scene of tying his tongue flashed in his mind, and said, "Pinch his mouth and knock his teeth."

After hearing this, the personal soldiers said, "I'll go find the hammer."

"Um..." The guy stared in fear and made a few vague sounds. After a while, the hammer came in. The big sergeant man pinched the guy's mouth without saying a word, pulled out the cloth, and said to the other sergeant: "Don't talk." Then he waved the hammer and knocked it on his front teeth.

"Ah...ah" screams were terrible, I'm afraid the whole yard could hear them.

Finally, the guy turned his head suddenly in pain and shouted in ambiguous manner: "I'll do it! I'll do it all! It's just for money..."

Guo Shao didn't expect it to be so easy, so he was frightened: "After saying a little lies, he puts a bamboo stick into your ten fingers. He will let you speak after one by one. You must cherish the opportunity to speak!"

The guy nodded desperately and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Guo Shao thought for a while and ordered, "Take another person away and close the door. I will ask separately later. If I don't meet, I will use torture together until you accept it."

After the door was closed, Guo Shao asked directly: "Who ordered it?"

The guy said, "Li Xia'er! My name is Li Mazi!" Guo Shao asked, "Who is Li Xia'er?"

Li Mazi said: "The kiln was opened on Guihua Street in the north of Tokyo, and it also opened a gambling house. I have known him in the gambling house for a few months. He taught me to kill someone. After the matter was done, he sent the kiln and the gambling house together. I have already taken his land deed."

Guo Shao said coldly: "Will a person who opens a kiln take such a big risk to assassinate a general?"

Li Mazi said in surprise: "I really don't know that you are a general!"

Guo Shao said, "You told you everything that Li Xia'er asked you to do in detail. Remember, if you said something wrong, you will have to pay the price for the next chance to speak. If you want to cheat me, it is best to be more aware! Say it immediately, don't pause!"

Li Mazi said with a sad face: "What I did first was to follow Li Xia'er in the inn in front of Li Chuyun's mansion. When I went there, he had been staring there for a while, and immediately changed me to watch it. First, he found that a maid was rushing out alone, and Li Xia'er followed him, but I was still staring at the door.

Not long after, he came back. Two days later, people from the Li family rode horses and were all slaves, and Li Xia'er followed him again. I was still following..."

He then told about how to find people, how to prepare crossbows, gunpowder, and people. Then he went to the inn to check in, opened the room and set up whistle.

When Guo Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be amazed. The envoy behind the scenes actually used a man named Li Xia'er. The Li Mazi who was caught was also found by Li Xia'er. Then he relied on a group of refugees to complete the entire process from catching up, scouting the site to scheming. The conspiracy and meticulousness of mind were not worth making a fuss. The most difficult thing is that he actually put the courage into implementation in a short period of time.

There are several unexpected links in this plan, and finally there is a problem in the gunpowder link... If one error occurs, the whole board will collapse; but the plan is still very meticulous, but it is relatively thin. It is impossible to say that it is perfect, otherwise how could it be assassinated and even arrested for surviving? But this courage can be described as crazy.

Guo Shao asked someone to bring in the crossbow used by the assassin, and after a closer look, Luo Mengzi said, "Our Zhou army does not use such crossbows. By the way, the things used by the Southern Tang army when fighting Huainan are very similar to this."

Li Mazi hurriedly said, "By the way, by the way, Li Xia'er said that his hometown is in Huainan."

Luo Mengzi cursed and said, "It's Li Chongjin! Who else is besides him?"

Li Chongjin? Guo Shao's intuition was not him. Li Chongjin was at least one of the top ten thousand people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and under several people were still relatives of Taizu Guo Wei. He was closer than the blood relationship between the current emperor and Taizu. He was a leader in the battlefield. Li Chongjin was not very good, but it was a bit incredible to say that he would use such despicable and risky simple means to deal with political enemies.

Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin also had a lot of grudges. Zhang Yongde said that they had "unwilling intentions". Such heart-killing words were probably much more serious than Guo Shao asking him to serve fried fish! But Zhang Yongde rode alone into Li Chongjin's military camp, and Li Chongjin didn't take the opportunity to do anything to him... Secondly, Guo Shao analyzed the matter of Li Mazi and the other two following Li Chuyun's mansion... Will Li Chongjin take Li Chuyun seriously? What are you sending someone to watch Li Chuyun?

A person's name entered Guo Shao's mind very clearly: Zhao San!

Ten days ago, it was the time when Li Mazi and others followed Li Chuyun. Guo Shao met Zhao San and Zhao Pu on the road from Li Chuyun's mansion... Is this just a coincidence? What Zhao San also said: It is a regret for not marrying Miss Li in this life. Only when he fell in love with Miss Li could he send someone to set up secret whistles around him.

Guo Shao was speechless for a long time, and his heart was ups and downs.
