But he smiled nonchalantly and said, "My real name is Gui Sanyong."
"But your name is Du Ruhui now." The woman said coldly.
He did not answer the woman's words, but put away his smile and said: "Take me to him. I dare to use the 108 lives of my entire family as a guarantee. He will not kill me."
"No, Third Master's order is: you must die."
He looked into her eyes quietly and said softly: "I'll die sooner or later. You can cut off my hand tendons and hamstrings, and then gouge out my tongue, whatever you want to do with it, but please give me a chance."
His chance."
The woman's eyes were staring back at him, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes. She hesitated a little, but she turned the tip of the sword under her hand, and the hand holding the sword suddenly hit Du Ruhui's.
throat.
Du Ruhui's throat was injured and his head was lowered. The woman hit Du Ruhui on the back of the head with the hilt of her sword. Du Ruhui's body went limp and he fell on the door panel.
Tang Li gently took off her face mask, sighed and said, "I don't know if Mr. Su will blame me. Just trust him for once." She looked towards Xiaowai, as if there was a night fog.
It was really foggy at night. The heat dissipates faster in the wild than in the city. When the cold and heat are strong, the fog is not very big. But in the city, the heat dissipates slowly and is surrounded by walls, so the fog is a bit heavy.
.
The mist like a white curtain spreads layer by layer from top to bottom. Walking in this mist is like walking into a fairyland.
Meng Shaojun walked back and forth in the government office several times. It was already close to noon. He really couldn't help it anymore, so he walked into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Master Lin and Master Li were sitting like Buddha statues. The whole hall was as quiet as a ghost palace.
"Sir, it's almost time, why don't you bring all the troops?"
Lin Hailu's eyes moved, but he didn't speak. Master Li said: "It's almost time, so I'll have to worry about you. Bring more people, just pretending to be patrolling the streets. There are still people at the post house.
There are 70 or 80 people nearby. If you take another 70 or 80 people, it should be almost done. Are all the people under you arranged?"
Meng Shaojun nodded.
Lin Hailu said: "The guards of the Lin Mansion will arrive soon, and they will all be under your control. Go ahead."
Meng Shaojun responded in a low voice: "Yes." He saluted Lin Hailu again and then walked out.
Meng Shaojun had already informed the government officials that they would be on duty at night. He arranged for all the government officials who usually obeyed him the most to work in the latter part of the night, so the seventy or eighty people in front of him were all his confidants.
Looking at the prepared government officials, Meng Shaojun ordered four squad leaders to come out and said: "Twenty people are divided into four groups. You guys are in charge. If anyone disobeys the order, or refuses to enter when encountering bandits,
Murder. Do you hear me clearly?"
Meng Shaojun was a martial arts practitioner with a very bad temper. Over the years, relying on Lin Hailu, he always said what he said, and he would definitely do it. Therefore, everyone hurriedly responded, and no one dared to object.
"Follow me to the streets for a patrol first. If nothing happens, we will disperse and patrol."
After that, a group of more than eighty people left the government office in a mighty manner and walked slowly towards the direction of the post house.
The sky has calmed down, and it's already passed Haishi. The fog has gradually faded a little. The long lanterns hanging on the corners of the eaves are dimly emitting a faint yellow light, which is a little unreal. It's quiet everywhere, except for the sound of people coughing.
No other sounds could be heard.
He walked out of the courtyard gate outside the post house and faced the street once. Seeing nothing unusual, he slowly walked back to the courtyard, told the guards on duty to be more alert, and quickly walked into the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, Li Daoming was talking to Deng Qiying. When he saw Tie Ping coming in, he asked, "What's the situation outside?"
"The government officials of those government offices have not yet evacuated, and Wu Tong's sergeants pass by the door from time to time. I heard that the sergeants outside Mr. He's mansion have also taken turns changing their posts and have not evacuated."
Li Daoming said "Huh" and said nothing.
Tie Ping continued: "But I always feel that Lin Hailu is a little too dedicated?"
Li Daoming smiled: "With Master Lin protecting us, what are we afraid of?"
"That's what I'm worried about. What if, what if."
"What if Lin Hailu wants to kill me?" Li Daoming laughed.
Tie Ping scratched his head: "I have to guard against it."
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts yet. Those people under your command are not freeloaders. If he wants to kill this imperial envoy, he must first get through you. If he really dares to come, let's close the door and everyone will guard the courtyard.
, I don’t believe that he can kill you all?
How big of a fuss will this cause? If he really wants to die together with me, then I have nothing to say." Li Daoming knew that people like Lin Hailu would not risk their lives, so he
He was relieved and smiled at Tie Ping's worries.
After listening to Li Daoming's words, Tie Ping thought about it carefully and realized that it was right. He couldn't help but feel a little calmer.
Deng Qiying said on the side: "Uncle, it's better to be careful. My nephew once heard Zhang He say that Lin Hailu is a ruthless character and there are some things that we have to guard against. He even forced Du Ruhui away during the day.
It’s not necessarily that I won’t attack my uncle. I’m not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Who knows what Lin Hailu’s plan is. After all, this is his territory. We are weak alone, so it’s better to be careful.”
Li Daoming didn't speak. He thought quietly for a while and said, "Send more guards to stay on duty at night."
Tie Ping gently agreed, then turned around and went out to make arrangements.
There are three entrances to the courtyard, and the most important one is the last one. Thirty people were selected to guard the inner courtyard, and even if a mosquito passed by, there would be a discussion.
Then he went to the second courtyard to check the guards' camp and ordered the guards who were not on duty at night to put on their clothes and sleep. Then he went back to his room and lay down with his clothes on.
I heard that when Lin Hailu was having a drink in the Zhou Mansion today, he was so provoked by Du Ruhui's words that he vomited blood. 'Okay. You are still arrogant. Evil people will be punished by evil people.'
Tie Ping leaned on the bed, gradually felt his eyelids becoming knotted, and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I could only hear many people shouting: "The water has escaped, the water has escaped. Come out and put out the fire."
Tieping was startled and sat up from the bed. He stayed beside the bed in a daze for a long time before he woke up. He quickly opened the door and saw that there was no fire in the backyard. He rushed to the door again, only to find that there was no fire in the backyard.
When I entered the courtyard, the fire was already blazing into the sky.
"Who the hell knocked over the lamp? Damn it!" Tie Ping shouted. The guards who entered the yard had already jumped out to put out the fire. But the fire was too fierce and there was no water in the yard.
Where can I put out the fire?
Suddenly, there was a scream outside the hospital. "The water has leaked. The water has leaked."
Tie Pingxin was startled and walked to the courtyard. He saw that the entire east side of the post house was on fire. Just when he was a little surprised, a fire also broke out in the west side.
Evil rises.
Tie Ping cursed secretly, and his heart suddenly sank: "Not good."
