Jiaochu

Chapter 455 Entering the City
The sound of rapid horse hooves resounded in the forest, and the three teams of men and horses split up to pursue. Lu Yan led a team of men and horses to pursue in the direction of the capital. He did not consider the possibility that the people would return to the city. He probably thought that Ye Lingxi would not be stupid. Throw yourself into a trap.

But she just wanted to throw herself into a trap.

Another person also chose this road. Due to excessive injuries on the way, he fainted on the horse. When he woke up, it was already dawn.

Lin Chuan found that someone had bandaged his wounds and left him water and dry food. He looked around the room. There were spider webs hanging in the corners and thick dust on the table. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time. , the walls and windows are all made of mud, the roof is thatched, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, with gaps as big as a palm exposed. If it rains, people inside are guaranteed to be soaked in the water.

After looking at the thatched house, he looked at the door, listened to the movement for a while, then walked out with his sword. He saw the horse tied to the tree at the door, and there were no traces of pursuers around. After he got on the horse, he stopped for a moment and went to Dingding. Went in the direction of the city.

There were officers and soldiers at the gate of the city checking people who entered the city. Ye Lingxi made himself look disgraced and his clothes were torn, as if he had escaped from trouble.

A bloated middle-aged man was staring from the side. He had a fleshy face, big shoulders and round waist. He looked like a big boss, but his eyes were very shrewd, poisonous and accurate. He was known as Boss Lei, and he could pick out even the best eggs. Once the bones are out, it's basically impossible to fool him right under his nose.

Whenever he encounters traders traveling together, Boss Lei will personally investigate them. Anyone with weapons will be arrested and taken away for interrogation. Although a salesman enters the city alone, Boss Lei will ask his age after questioning him. The salesman was arrested and taken away.

Seeing this situation, she and the two Dragon Shadow Guards decided to enter the city separately. If the three of them entered the city together, they would definitely arouse this person's suspicion. The two Dragon Shadow Guards both dressed up as ordinary people and did not bring swords.

A Dragon Shadow Guard entered the city. Boss Lei took one look at the identity document and asked someone to arrest the Dragon Shadow Guard. Ye Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, thinking that his identity had been revealed. Then he thought about it and thought it was impossible. , cannot retreat.

When they arrived, an officer asked her where she was from and wanted to see her identity document. She said she was from Qingzhou. Her eldest brother was a soldier here and he had no relatives at home. She came to join her eldest brother. She met her on the way. The robbers had all their luggage taken away, and the person was almost dead. She said that her eldest brother's name was He Dahu, and because a distant cousin in the family was a high-ranking official here, her eldest brother came here to serve as a soldier.

The officer and soldier asked her what the name of her distant cousin was. She shook her head. She didn't know the name, but she heard from her father that this distant cousin was a general. After thinking about it, the officer thought that the distant cousin Ye Lingxi was talking about was He Guang, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. He asked Ye Lingxi to wait here, and quickly reported the situation to Boss Lei.

As soon as Boss Lei left, the two officers and soldiers who were interrogating seemed to be relieved. They felt like "The Lord of Hell is finally gone", and the interrogation became more relaxed. Another Long Shadow Guard entered the city smoothly.

"what is it call?"

"He Hua."

"Where are you from?" "Hejia Village, Wu County, Qingzhou."

"What did you say your eldest brother's name was?"

"He Dahu."

"Nonsense!" Boss Lei yelled angrily, startling Ye Lingxi. She cried in fright. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, looking extremely weak and pitiful. The other party was unmoved and showed no mercy at all. He didn't mean anything, and shouted in a rough voice: "Take him down and torture him severely."

Seeing that she was about to be taken in, Ye Lingxi cried even harder. The officer and soldier couldn't bear it and interceded for her. The next moment, he was given a big slap by Boss Lei and did not dare to speak. Boss Lei called two officers and soldiers to take Ye Lingxi away, but she just refused to do anything and ran away. Boss Lei drew his sword and chased after her. Ye Lingxi looked back and saw that although this person was bloated, he was very agile when running. He was about to catch up with her. At this time, a sharp arrow shot out, and she was in danger. Kan dodged, and the arrow grazed her hair, almost disfiguring her face.

Another group of people came in front, and the leader was a coincidence, but he was so powerful. Next to him was a rather mysterious man, wearing a fox mask. His eyes looked at Ye Lingxi with interest through the mask, seeming to find her gray face quite interesting.

"What's going on?" He Li glanced at Ye Lingxi and looked away in disgust when he saw that she looked ashen and looked like a beggar.

Boss Lei quickly reported: "Sir, this girl's identity is suspicious and she is trying to escape. She might be a spy. My subordinates are about to take her back and torture her severely."

"I'm not." Ye Lingxi retorted, "I'm here to find my brother, not a spy. You don't distinguish between black and white, and you wrongly accuse good people."

He Li raised his hand. Two of his men were about to catch Ye Lingxi. The young master wearing a fox mask said a few words to He Li. He Li looked a little surprised and looked at Ye Lingxi again, as if he felt that Mr. Fox has really weird taste, he actually fell in love with such a dirty little beggar.

Young Master Fox rode up to Ye Lingxi and stretched out a hand towards her. She couldn't care less. It was more important to save her life first. She grabbed the hand and got on the horse. Young Master Fox nodded to He Li and took her with him. gone.

He Li asked Boss Lei how things were going. Boss Lei said that ten more young men had been captured. He Li wanted to take a look. Boss Lei quickly led the way. On the way, Boss Lei inquired about Young Master Fox's background. He Li asked him to keep his mouth shut and not ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Although Boss Lei still had doubts about Ye Lingxi, he didn't say anything. After all, people were taken away by Mr. Fox. It is better to do less than to do more.

Here, Master Fox had just turned the corner with Ye Lingxi. She was about to go down and thank him. Master Fox said, "How do you want to thank me, princess?" Seeing that the other party knew her identity, she was slightly surprised, and then Denying it, "I'm not a princess, my name is He Hua. I don't have any money now. When I find my eldest brother, I'll treat you to a meal." Mr. Fox chuckled and said, "It turns out to be He Hua girl. He Hua girl doesn't even know Who am I to invite you to dinner?" She then asked, "What do you call me?" Mr. Fox said, "My residence is just ahead. Are you hungry, Miss Lotus? Why don't you go to your place to have something to eat first?" "What's the name of Miss Hehua's eldest brother? I can help you find him." She said there's no need to bother, she can just look for him by herself. Mr. Fox said it's no trouble. She saw that the other party didn't mean to let her go, and she knew Mr. He too, maybe. If I could find out some information, I agreed to go to his place to have something to eat.

What she didn't expect was that Mr. Fox lived in He Mansion, but this way, it was easier for her to find out the information. Hearing the servants in the house call Mr. Fox a playboy, she felt a little more alert. The word "hua" reminded her of the playboy who had appeared in the world before, and also of Hua Buyu, one of the four killers of Jackdaw. , the former always appears in white clothes and white shoes, wearing a white mask, holding a white flower in his hand, as if attending a funeral, the latter is no longer here, and now there is another playboy, unknown to the former. Is there any connection between the two?
