Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1571 Missed
Hot summer.

From Shanyang County to Lantian County, Feiying and several of his men walked for ten days.

During these ten days, they endured the scorching heat and didn't have much time to rest. They just kept chasing and killing.

The person they want to kill is Fang Liang, who is just a small official in Shanyang County, to be precise, he should be a knife and pen official.

He does some clerical work in Shanyang County, has almost no official positions, and his salary is not very high. No one has ever taken him seriously.

But no one thought that it was a person like him who caused great disaster to their county magistrate.

So much so that their county magistrate Zhao Bao issued a death order, no matter what, Fang Liang must be killed.

He, Feiying, is an assassin in Shanyang County, he can be said to be the most famous assassin in that place, and he never misses when he takes money.

However, this time, he chased and killed Fang Liang from Shanyang County to Lantian County, but he still failed to kill Fang Liang.

On the way, several times he was close to succeeding, but that Fang Liang didn't know whether it was luck or something else, so he just let him escape.

He felt very unlucky. He had never failed like this before.

But with Zhao Bao's money, the task must be completed, otherwise his career will be over.

Moreover, offending Zhao Bao, his future life will not be easy.

He didn't know how Fang Liang offended Zhao Bao, and he didn't ask, it was his professional ethics.

He just needs to kill.

The sun was so fierce that the four of them walked like this, but most of the time they came out at night, but Lantian County was very close to Chang'an City. If Fang Liang couldn't be killed, wait until he entered the boundary of Chang'an City. , wanted to kill him, but there was no chance.

If they dare to kill people on the border of Chang'an City, they don't even have enough heads to chop off.

Therefore, Fang Liang must be killed before he enters Chang'an City.

So, even though the weather was hot, they still chased after them in such scorching heat.

"Boss, this business is not worth doing. After returning, I have to ask Zhao Bao for a little more money."

"His grandma, I have never seen such a difficult person to kill. Tell me, Fang Liang is a swordsman. He is so lucky that he escaped our siege several times."

"Ugh……"

A few popular people wanted to scold their mothers, but in the face of such a situation, they could only sigh, other than that, they had nothing to do.

"Okay, there is a small town ahead. Fang Liang will definitely spend the night there after nightfall. Let's make another shot tonight. If we miss this time, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to kill him. So give me everything tonight." Get up, you must kill him and complete the task, understand?"

Several people nodded, Feiying saw them like this, and said again: "After making this ticket, I invite you to go to Cuihualou, so that you can enjoy it for a few days."

Cuihualou is the largest and best brothel in Shanyang County. The girls inside are all enchanting, fair and beautiful, and they have the hearts to die on their bellies.

Hearing that Feiying wanted to invite them to Cuihualou, several people immediately became energetic.

"Don't worry, Boss, tonight, Fang Liang will definitely be killed."

"That's right, that's right, Fang Liang will definitely not escape our grasp, and tonight is his death day."

"........."

Several people said, and quickly chased after him.
-
There is a small town called Kumu Town outside Lantian County.

There is a very peculiar tree in this Bitterwood Town. Both the branches and the leaves of this tree are bitter, but it is green all year round. Because of this, everyone calls this town Bitterwood Town.

Although Bitterwood Town is a town, it is not very big. There are only a hundred or so families in the whole town.

However, although the town is small, it is well-equipped with all kinds of internal organs, such as shops selling goods, restaurants for drinking, teahouses for tea tasting, and so on.

The main reason is that it is very close to Chang'an City, and most of the businessmen who don't have time to reach Chang'an City will stay here overnight, so inns and restaurants are not good enough for business.

The people here rely on these to survive here.

And at dusk that day, Bitterwood Town welcomed a dusty guest, but the arrival of this guest did not attract the attention of the people here.

People come and go here every day, and they don't feel strange about anyone coming.

However, on the second floor of a restaurant, a man smiled slightly when he saw this dusty guest.

"Go back and tell your lord that our bait is here."

Next to the man, there was another man in black. After hearing this, he nodded and then quietly retreated.

When only the man was left in the room, the man smiled and said, "You will be safer when you come here. Don't worry, how can you die so quickly as the bait of my lord?"

The man talked to himself, and then smiled softly after he finished speaking.

After the travel-worn guest came here, his expression was still a little nervous. When he escaped from Shanyang County, he never had a moment of peace of mind. Even now that he is about to reach Chang'an City, he is still like this.

At this time, besides his uneasiness, he was also full of anger and hatred.

He was able to come here from Shanyang County because of this anger and hatred.

Originally, he was just a small knife and pen official in Shanyang County. His life was not very rich, but it was still passable. He had a decent career and a fiancée who was going to talk about marriage soon.

But who would have thought that somehow, Zhao Bao's son, Zhao Jinzi, knew that his fiancée was very beautiful, so he wanted to take it forcibly, and when he was not paying attention, he kidnapped his fiancée to the house.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late.

In order to keep her reputation, her fiancée committed suicide by biting her tongue.

After hearing the news, he was very angry, but he also knew that he was just a county government official, so why fight with a government official like Zhao Jinzi?
So his only chance is to enter the capital and sue the imperial court.

As a knife and pen official, he was able to get in touch with many things in the county government that other people could not touch, and many of these things involved some secrets of Zhao Bao. He sorted these secrets into evidence, and then fled to the city of Chang'an. ,

Along the way, he encountered many dangers, but he was lucky enough to escape.

Of course, what he didn't know was that he was able to escape from Feiying, not because he was lucky, but because some people felt that he couldn't die yet.

Fang Liang took a look at the small town, and then found an inn to stay and rest. Tomorrow, he will go to Chang'an City. When he goes to Chang'an City, he must avenge his fiancée.
