The ancient sage surpassed the battle and became more and more brave. Jia Laosi was in danger one after another. He wanted to make a sneak attack with the sword in his left hand, but was pierced by the ancient sage's sword. The tip of the sword passed through the palm of his hand and pierced a bloody hole in his palm, which hurt him.

He yelled, turned around and ran away. Gu Shengchao chased after him, not forgetting to kill two Longhu Village minions.

"Where to run, watch the sword!" Just as he was about to catch up, Gu Shengchao shouted loudly, which scared Jia Laosi and ran away without looking back.

Gu Shengchao slashed with his sword and looked towards Jia Laosi. He turned a corner in the middle and stabbed the left shoulder of another person next to him. That person was Xue Kui. He held a steel fork and fought hard with Zhong Lei.

There is no difference between people, even if they heard the noise, they would not feel it was a scam, and they just happened to be successfully attacked by the ancient sage Chao.

Xue Kui had to hold the steel fork with both hands. He was naturally timid due to his injured left shoulder. Before he had time to observe the situation behind him, he was kicked in the chest by Zhong Lei and fell backward. He was very good at kung fu and used the strength to jump back and was beaten by Jia Laosi.

With a little help to steady himself, the two of them galloped up the mountain together.

Zhong Lei gave Gu Shengchao a thumbs up to express his gratitude, and then rushed to rescue Mr. Xu.

Xu Bo held the steel mace in both hands and was fighting the two men. One of them saw Jia Laosi and Xue Kui both fleeing the battlefield. He also wanted to retreat, but he didn't notice in his panic. Xu Bo's steel mace had already hit his head, and his brain collapsed immediately. The other one died.

One person turned around and ran away. Uncle Xu threw out the mace in his left hand, hitting the person in the back of the heart and falling down without saying a word.

The remaining hozens fell from the trees and scattered, running away in the blink of an eye, leaving more than a dozen corpses lying on both sides of the mountain road.

Gu Shengchao discovered that the woman was riding in the carriage without any interference from beginning to end, and everyone in Longhu Village seemed to be avoiding approaching it for fear of hurting the people inside.

Everyone cleaned up the battlefield and found that they had also suffered heavy losses. In addition to the traitorous Bouncer Ding, the two women and five escorts who accompanied him were all unfortunately killed, and three others were seriously injured, which was also a disaster. Bouncer Xin made a tour,

Looking at the three people who were dying, he looked at Zhong Lei. Zhong Lei sighed helplessly, and Xin Biao stabbed the three people to death with his sword. The road will definitely be more dangerous in the future, and bringing the seriously injured will only add to the burden.

The world of the rivers and lakes is originally about fighting and killing, and there is no love between children. There are intrigues and conspiracies at the top, while at the bottom there is bullying and the predatory of the weak.

Of the 30 people who came, there are still 19 people who can persist. Gu Shengchao and others had minor injuries, so they all bandaged their wounds and put on neat clothes. The mountain road was difficult to travel, and the woman also stepped out of the car.

, mounted a bay-red horse. Except for the escort carriage, all other vehicles were abandoned, and they traveled as lightly as possible. Zhong Lei directed everyone to continue moving forward, and there was no one to disturb them along the way. As the sun set, the mountains gradually became gentle, and the ancient sage overtook them.

Looking into the distance, there are no more mountains and mountains.

It was getting dark, so Zhong Lei led everyone to climb a hill, set up camp on it, and buried pots to cook rice in case someone attacked at night.

Zhong Lei walked up to Uncle Xu and whispered: "Uncle Xu, something strange happened today. This is the territory of Changqing County. Longhu Village dared to besiege us in broad daylight. It is really puzzling. Logically speaking, our bodyguard agency and Changqing County have always been

We are on good terms, and we are usually fine. The Changqing County Government Office is not far away, and the county governor is also an acquaintance of ours. I plan to go to the Government Office at night to find out what's going on and get some news."

Uncle Xu nodded in agreement: "Are you going alone?"

Zhong Lei glanced at everyone and said uneasily: "The situation is critical now. Longhu Village will attack at any time. Only by taking care of Uncle Xu and Xin can we rest assured. If others go, it will be a drag."

Uncle Xu looked at Gu Shengchao: "Take him with you. Judging from the situation in Changqing County today, there may be some changes. Having one more person by your side is not a bad thing after all."

"Is he okay?" Zhong Lei was worried.

Uncle Xu nodded and said in a low voice: "It's true. Although he has hidden his skills, he is by no means a bad person and can be used by my escort agency."

Zhong Lei trusted Uncle Xu and got up and asked Gu Shengchao to set off together. The two of them each rode a horse and left the camp. In front of them was Pingchuan. When Gu Shengchao looked back, the mountains were hidden in the twilight, as if a giant dragon was lying on the ground.

There, the upper slope and the lower slope are separated.

The two of them arrived outside Changqing City in less than half an hour. At this moment, the city gate was closed and they could not enter. They found a forest, tied up their horses inside, and climbed over the city wall at night. In peacetime, there were few people on the city wall.

There were soldiers patrolling, but no one found them.

Zhong Lei had been here before and quickly found the government office. As he was about to go in, someone stopped him: "Be brave. Anyone who dares to break into the government office during the night curfew will be shot to death."

"Excuse me, why is the original brother Zhang not here?" Zhong Lei said politely with a smile.

The man guarding the door pulled out his sword and said arrogantly: "Get out of here, if you dare to say more, I will kill you."

Gu Shengchao looked familiar to this guard, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Zhong Lei took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand: "Brother, I've met you. I've known you Commander Liu for a long time, so I'll be accommodating."

Let us in immediately!"

The man weighed the silver in his hand, and when he saw no one around, he quickly put it into his arms. He pulled Zhong Lei aside and warned: "I am just a soft-hearted person. To tell you the truth, the original Governor Liu committed a crime and has been imprisoned."

He's been put in jail, and now there's a new county guard in there. I won't make any fuss about it, so hurry up and leave. I'll be careful not to implicate you and put you in jail too."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Zhong Lei said goodbye and pulled Gu Shengchao away.

The two of them turned the corner and turned behind the government office. Zhong Lei jumped up the high wall first. Seeing that there was no one inside, he waved to Gu Shengchao to go in with him. Zhong Lei was familiar with this place, and the two quietly went up to the room.

They climbed up and tiptoed to a large house. There were brackets and eaves on the roof. The two of them hooked their toes on the eaves and hung upside down, so that they could see the scene inside the house.

Gu Shengchao was shocked when he saw the two people sitting in the house. Those two people were the unruly and domineering little girl and her father who secretly boarded the boat and framed the boy named Ergou for stealing.

The little girl said angrily: "Dad, Longhu Village is really a bunch of rubbish. They can't even take down a small escort agency. You are the county guard now. With an order, let me lead a team to intercept their escort carriage."

Gu Shengchao was secretly amused after hearing this. The daughter of a dignified county guard actually wanted to lead officers and soldiers to pretend to be kidnappers and rob escorts, which made people laugh out loud.

The county guard shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. Do you know why you want the people from Longhu Village to go?"

The little girl said excitedly: "My child knows that we have no foundation when we first arrive, and the power of Longhu Village cannot be underestimated. We will take this opportunity to make them kill each other. We will reap the benefits and finally destroy them."

The county guard was relieved and nodded: "It is not easy for you to understand this. You are an adult. I will tell you the truth. This incident seems to be a personal grudge between Longhu Village and Wuyou Escort, but in fact it involves the court officials and the Wuyou Escort Bureau.

If the disputes in the Ministry of Justice are handled carelessly, the father's hat will be ruined."

The little girl was stunned: "It's so serious that it alerted the court?"

The county guard lowered his voice and said: "Yes, the Wuyou Escort Agency can operate unimpeded in our Dawu Dynasty. How can it do it without a backer? It is said that the Ministry of Personnel can receive a lot of dividends every year, otherwise the Escort Agency would have closed down long ago. But the Officials Agency

The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice have always been at odds, so this time the Ministry of Justice is behind the scenes, and we are also small pawns in it. Letting Longhu Village rob the escorts is just the beginning, and frame the escort agency behind the scenes, saying that they secretly colluded with the counties in an attempt to support the troops and establish themselves as kings.

This is the real purpose. In this way, the officials will not be able to escape the relationship, and the officials will be overthrown. The Xingbu will dominate the whole family. With the Xingbu covering us, we can also get a share of the pie."

The little girl looked confused: "Well, what should we do next?"

"Wait." The county guard said calmly: "This matter is important, we must not act rashly. Their escort agency has already had our internal support, so they are not in a hurry. The Ministry of Punishment has sent experts here, and they will arrive tonight if nothing happens.

.In addition, one of the things that their escort agency transported this time is of great importance. The superiors have told me that if something goes wrong with this thing, my father will lose his head."

"What is so precious?" the little girl was curious.

The county guard sighed and said, "As a father, I know very little about it. It is said that this treasure is related to a woman."

Gu Shengchao immediately thought of the woman who was always covered with a veil, a mysterious woman. No wonder the people in Longhu Village stayed away from that woman. It turned out that they were afraid of hurting her. He was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming this way, he hurriedly pushed his feet up to the roof. Zhong Lei's ears were not as sharp as those of the ancient sage, and he was still hanging upside down to peek.

"Come up quickly, someone is coming." Gu Shengchao bent down and reminded quietly, while pulling Zhong Lei's legs to help him come up.

It was already too late, a dart shot out. Fortunately, Gu Sheng Chao pulled Zhong Lei quickly. The dart rubbed Zhong Lei's bun and nailed it to the eaves. A few strands of black hair were flying in the night sky. Gu Sheng Chao glanced at it.

, the dart looked like a commonly used copper coin, but the edges were jagged and glowed with cold light. Before he could take a closer look, he grabbed Zhong Lei and ran towards the outside of the city.

Zhong Lei's internal strength was weak and he couldn't keep up after jumping over several rooftops in a row. Gu Shengchao glanced behind him and saw that a black shadow was chasing him. He eagerly picked up Zhong Lei and ran as fast as he could. He jumped high on the city wall.

He walked out, took a few steps into the woods, climbed up a tree, and was hidden in the dense canopy.

After a few breaths, the black shadow chased after him. The man walked a few steps into the woods. He was afraid that there might be an ambush in the night. He hesitated for a moment and retreated. He stood outside the woods and shouted: "I have seen those who can't run away."

You guys."

The night breeze was blowing softly, and the leaves were rustling, but there was no movement except that. The man waited for a while, then stomped his feet and left with regret, turned over and jumped into the city.

Gu Shengchao and Zhong Lei were afraid of being deceived and afraid that the man would come back again, so they waited again, then quietly slipped down from the tree, found the tied horses, and rode back to the camp. Zhong Lei did not forget to give Gu a message on the way.

Shengchao gave a thumbs up to express his gratitude.
