Chapter 616 Thinking about what she thinks (one more)
Soldiers and horses often cross the border in Fushang County, but apart from the fact that it was just invaded and occupied by Song Zhiyi's soldiers and horses, it is rare for the city to be in such chaos these days.

The rising sun at dawn slowly came from outside the city, illuminating the earth, and there were dozens more corpses on the small square on the east and west side streets of the city.

The difference from before is that these dozens of corpses are all soldiers sitting in the camp.

So far, only three assassins have been found, and they have turned into corpses. Supervising Zhao ordered their heads to be chopped off and hung high in the city, while the corpses were disemboweled and left to dry on the ground.

The weapons they carry, two are sharp axes and one is a broadsword, both of them are quite heavy, ordinary soldiers can't even lift them up with one hand.

Except for these three assassins, several corpses of men in black were found in the yard leading to the prison from the back office of the Yingwei Mansion.

There was nothing on the corpse that could prove its identity, but judging from its figure and weapons, it was not the accomplices of the assassins.

However, when Supervisor Zhao heard about it, he immediately waved his hand and ordered his head to be cut off, and dealt with in the same way, and attributed it to the assassins on the street.

Not all the assassins could be found and executed. For all the officers in the entire battalion, it was like being beaten in the face with the soles of their shoes.

And, it's even harder to explain to the superior.

The garrison troops at Du'ankou were wiped out overnight by Ji's family. King Xunping was furious and issued seven military orders. If the troubles in Fushang County were brought up, I'm afraid they, the deputy generals and the captains of the supervising army, would all have to go to see them.

Now, from top to bottom, the entire Fushang County has long been plunged into a strange noise and silence.

Either quiet, or chaotic at first, and then suddenly quiet again.

The vegetable market is vacant, the shops are closed, the inn is closed, no one dares to move around on the street, except soldiers and horses, and... people who have to go.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie need to rush to Linning as soon as possible, and report to Du Xuan and the others that they are safe, otherwise they don't know what will happen in Linning.

Also, Xia Zhaoyi had said before Youzizhuang and Zhili left that she returned to Liling at least half a month later than them.

But there were too many changes, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.

This may be the first time she missed an appointment with Fragmentation.

Now, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie bid farewell to Mr. Liuhe's Fengya residence, and left with Lin Zhonghu, who was seriously injured.

Acting together, the goal is too big, so when Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie discussed this morning, they unanimously proposed to separate the two ways.

It was not too difficult for them to sneak attack a group of four or five patrolmen. After they passed out, they took off two pieces of armor according to their size.

Then, Xia Zhaoyi went outside the city to wait for them.

Shen Lie took Lin Zhonghu to find an appropriate time to leave the city.

The outside of the city is also heavily guarded, but it is better than the silence in the city. At the moment of farming season, all the soldiers know that food and grass are precious, so they will not make trouble with the farmers.

Xia Zhaoyi did not follow the agreement with Shen Lie, and went to the grove in the wetland in the northeast to wait for the first time. She was not at ease, so after leaving the city, she hid near the city gate, hoping to see Shen Lie come out with her own eyes. Practical.

Time was running slowly, the shade of the tree she was hiding in was extremely hidden, and her vision was excellent. From this angle, she accidentally saw an acquaintance.

Tao Yinhe, the lieutenant general who accompanied Zhao Zhen to guard Panzhou Peifeng.

It was indeed a surprise for Xia Zhaoyi to see him, because he was wearing a peasant's plain clothes, and his back was bent on purpose, it was really hard to recognize.

Tao Yinhe was not alone. He was pulling an old cow in a distant field, and people would pass by him from time to time, and occasionally someone would stop and say a word or two to him.

Their indifferent appearance seemed to be simply chatting about the harvest.

With the current situation, it is difficult for Xia Zhaoyi to find him, and if he finds him, he doesn't know what to say.

Tao Yinhe is from Zheng Guogong's mansion. In the 25th year of Xuanyan, Zheng Guogong left Dagan and went back to Zhengbei. Tao Yinhe also left with Tian Chengying.

Now, the other party came to Fushang County from Zhengbei in such a disguise, there must be a purpose, or it may have something to do with the military.

It's not appropriate for her to break through rashly.

I just hope that the two have nothing to do with each other.

They go their way, don't miss her and Shen Lie's arrangement to leave.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the city gate.

After waiting and waiting, at about six o'clock, she finally saw Shen Lie and Lin Zhonghu come out of the city with her own eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, turned over from the tree without a sound, and quietly went to the place she had agreed with Shen Lie.

The road I took was a shortcut, so I went a little faster, and just stopped to unscrew the water bag when I heard a sound of horseshoes.

Xia Zhaoyi shivered, and was about to hide, but it was Shen Lie and Lin Zhonghu who came on horseback.

In addition to the two people riding under the crotch, there is another horse following behind.

It was impossible for them to go to Linning on foot, and it was inevitable to seize the horse, but Shen Lie brought it like this, which made Xia Zhaoyi very happy.

After getting close, Shen Lie got off the horse and saw her face that hadn't faded from the blush, and the broken hair on the sideburns wet with sweat. He took out the clean towel he wanted from Mr. Liu He and handed it over, and asked with concern: " Did something happen?"

The scorching sun is on the horizon, but the wetlands are the best place to escape the heat due to the wide shade of trees in the forest. Xia Zhaoyi sweats so much, Shen Lie is afraid that there will be ambushes around, or that she is an ambush, and she is going to deal with someone.

"Thank you." Xia Zhaoyi picked it up, gently wiped his cheeks, felt a little guilty for a while, and suddenly laughed.

She didn't answer, but turned to look at the horse behind her, stroked the horse's neck, and ran her slender fingers along the horse's mane. Under the sun, her glowing complexion was in stark contrast to the navy blue hair of the war horse.

"It's best to be with Mr. Shen, saving time and effort," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, turning his eyes to look at Shen Lie, "I rarely feel like this."

To be able to think what she thinks, to put her first, is what I used to do when I was with my eldest and second brothers. Most of the time, she is the one who takes the lead and takes care of everything.

Shen Lie bent her lips: "...um."

Xia Zhaoyi will hang the few small burdens on the horse, lightly turn over and say with a smile: "It's not too late, let's go."

She looked at Lin Zhonghu who was looking at them aside: "Is your body okay?"

Lin Zhonghu came back to his senses, and paused: "It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm fine! Just, that's..."

He looked at Shen Lie.

The handsome man in his early twenties turned back to a cold face after he met his eyes, and his whole body looked like an ice blade under the sun.

Lin Zhonghu was completely unwilling to leave. The reason why he went to the prison in the back office of the Wei Mansion was to save people.

Shen Lie mentioned this when he came to see him this morning, and said bluntly that with his own efforts, he would definitely not be able to save people, and that the entire Fushang County would be controlled more tightly in the next few days, like a copper wall and an iron wall.

If you want to leave, take advantage of today, and if you want to stay, Shen Lie will not agree. For Mr. Liu He's safety, Shen Lie left Lin Zhonghu with only a dead end.

On the one hand, he died in vain, and on the other hand, he escaped and ascended to heaven. No matter how unwilling Lin Zhonghu was, he knew which path he should choose.

Although the young man spoke in a distant and indifferent manner, there was no room for him, but at least he was willing to take him out of the city as a drag instead of sending him back to the west.

Lin Zhonghu looked at the extremely far horizon.

Full of grief, helpless, powerless.

　Thank you Xuanyuan and Tianshang for your reward *()*
