Ni Chu

Zhao Tong sat cross-legged opposite Xiang Ye who had passed out. After a while, seeing that Xiang Ye hadn't woken up, he said to the warriors on the left and right: "Hang him here, and we will continue the trial tomorrow. Nothing about Li You's rebellion!"

The black shadow in the dark stretched its body straight and stuck tightly to the wall. After Zhao Tong and the others left, the black shadow hesitated and took a step forward, as if wanting to rush into the room to save Xiang Ye, but in the end Taking back their steps again, they jumped out of the wall and disappeared into the vast night.

In the county guard's mansion in Xingyang City, two rows of oil lamps lined up on both sides of the hall, brightly illuminating the hall. Li Youduan sat on the head seat of the main hall, his expressionless face alternately illuminated and dimmed by the lights.

Sitting on the right side of Li You is a woman with a tall bun and a man wearing deep clothes. The reason why she is called a woman is because her facial features are small and delicate, although she can sit there It seems that her family background is not short, but her delicate facial features make her exude an exquisite aura from the bottom of her bones.

The woman sat there with her head bowed, her teeth clenched on her lower lip, and her brows were furrowed as if in deep thought.

None of the three spoke, but Li You looked outside the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Lord Sheriff!" The two people in the hall were silent when a black shadow flashed into the hall. This black shadow was dressed in the short clothes that Chi Xue'e wore when he was a businessman. After the three of them heard the voice, they still couldn't see who it was. When someone was there, he was half kneeling in front of Li You.

"Is Mr. Xiang Zhuang in Zhao Tong's residence?" Li You asked impatiently when he saw the black shadow appear.

"My lord, Xiang Zhuang is indeed in Zhao Tong's mansion." Hei Ying half-kneeled on the ground, lowered his head and said, "My subordinates also found out that Zhao Tong tried to use him to create the crime of rebellion against the county guard. The strong man scolded Zhao Tong all the time, which made Zhao Tong very boring."

"Uh!" Li You nodded, his expression relaxed and he said to Heiying, "Since you found out where Xiang Zhuang was imprisoned, why didn't you rescue him?"

"Xiang Zhuangshi lost both of his arms, and his subordinates thought over and over again, but they couldn't rescue him safely, so they withdrew alone and waited for the order from the adults!" Heiying lowered his head and said to Li You: "Zhao Tong is breaking Xiang Zhuangshi's two arms. After the arm, he even ordered someone to torture him to extract a confession. At first, his subordinates could hear the strong man humming, but then it became silent, but from what Zhao Tong said when he left, "Continue to extract the confession tomorrow", it can be heard that the strong man is not there yet. Worry for life!"

After Li You listened to Heiying's report, he lowered his head and muttered. The woman sitting beside him raised his head and said to him: "Mr. Li, if Xiang Zhuangshi hadn't happened to stop Zhao Tong today, I'm afraid I would have been caught by that dog thief." Go, please, Lord Sheriff, rescue him!"

"Hehe." After the woman had spoken, Li You smiled and said to her: "Mengsu, in the past, my son Fusu and I worshiped in front of your grandfather's old general Meng Tian's tent to learn the art of war. Today I will give you a big name." Niece Xian. Ever since you came to take refuge with me, I have always regarded you as my own child. I told you not to go out in the past, but you just didn’t listen. Tong, how do you want me to explain to your father and old general Meng Tian?"

Li You's words made Meng Su bow her head, she blushed in shame, her teeth clenched her lower lip tightly, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, which added a bit of charm to her already petite and exquisite facial features.

"It's also because he saved you, otherwise I wouldn't turn against Zhao Tong because of him." Li You smiled and said, "The person who saved my mentor's granddaughter is the one who saved me, Li You. Naturally, I want to rescue him from Zhao Tong once."

Having said that, he turned his head and said to the man in black: "Li Feng, you go to Zhao Tong's mansion again immediately, bring a few more people, and make sure to find Xiang Zhuangshi! You don't need to save people, just put him there." A fire, and then I will take people to respond!"

The man in black responded, turned around and retreated towards the door. Just as his feet had retreated to the door, he jumped and disappeared into the vast night with a "swoosh".

"Could the sheriff plan to turn against Zhao Tong?" Seeing Li You's serious face, Meng Su said with some concern: "Now that Zhao Gao is targeting the Li family everywhere, and the prime minister is still walking on thin ice in the court, if the sheriff is against Zhao Tong, I'm afraid I'm more familiar with Zhao Gao's tricks."

Li You smiled wryly, sighed and said to Meng Su: "I don't know that Zhao Gao is very powerful in the court now, but because His Majesty ignores the government all day long, all affairs are handled by Zhao Gao. We have nowhere to go, that’s why we are in today’s situation. Our Li family’s future is also very worrying. If there is a better place to go, you’d better leave Xingyang to be safe! As for whether I’m going against Zhao Tong head-on, it’s very important for Li in the future. The decline of the family does not play a key role at all, it is nothing more than an excuse for Zhao Gao."

When Li You said these words, Meng Su lowered her head and did not answer the words. She still remembered the decree made by the Second King after he ascended the throne to order the sons Fu Su and Meng Tian to commit suicide by taking poison.Fusu committed suicide after listening to the order, but Meng Tian didn't believe that the Second Emperor would issue such an order, and refused to take the poison, and finally ended up exterminating her family. Only she escaped from Beidi under the cover of a group of Meng Tian's generals and came to Xingyang to join Li You.

What she didn't expect was that Zhao Gao got the news very quickly, and Zhao Tong led his men to chase here.

Although Zhao Tong is a person who loves wine and sex, he still has some skills. After entering Xingyang, although Li You concealed her signs of being in the Sheriff's Mansion everywhere, he still found out the clues.This time, she was targeted by Zhao Tong's men not long after she left the county guard's mansion. If Xiang Ye hadn't been killed out of nowhere, she would have been the one who was tortured in Zhao Tong's mansion.

"Okay, you should rest early!" Li You stood up, threw a word to Mengsu and left the main hall without looking back.

Night is the best time to save people. Before Zhao Tong forced Xiang Ye to say his treasonous words, he could use strong means to rescue Xiang Ye. If it was later, Xiang Ye couldn't hold back the torture Even he can only watch Zhao Tong escort Xiang Ye to Xianyang for investigation.

A group of fully armed Qin troops stood in the courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, and a woman watched the group of Qin troops from a distance. This woman was none other than Chi Xue'e who brought Xiang Ye to Xingyang.

When she got the news that Xiang Ye was taken away by Zhao Tong, she was also very worried, but she didn't ask Li You to save Xiang Ye, she knew that her identity would not influence Li You to save others.

All she can do other than worry about Xiang Ye is to wait, waiting for Li You to make up his mind to save people.She had already made a plan, if she couldn't wait for the result, she would sneak into Zhao Tong's mansion alone and rescue Xiang Ye.

It's not that Chi Xue'e thinks things are simple, but she has to think things to be simple.Without Xiang Ye, I am afraid she would not have come here alive.She is doing business with people from all walks of life, not only with her pretty face and dedication, but also with her heart that puts righteousness first.

If Xiang Ye encounters danger and she ignores it, then she is no longer Chi Xue'e, and she is no longer qualified to walk in the world.

Fortunately, Li You did not disappoint her. A group of hundreds of Qin troops lined up neatly at the county guard's mansion. Now the rebel army has not entered Sanchuan County. Apart from rescuing Xiang Ye, she can't think of these Qin troops. What other tasks will there be.

Li You stood in front of Qin Jun's team with his sword in his hand, his eyes wandered around Qin Jun's body, his fair face was flushed red by the torch in Qin Jun's hand.

"Soldiers, Xiang Liang is now raising troops in Chu, and the momentum is far stronger than that of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. We must strengthen our vigilance to guard against bandits attacking at night. Today, we specially woke up everyone from their sleep in order to strengthen night inspections. I also hope that everyone will not take this matter as a small matter, and be more careful!" Seeing that hundreds of Qin soldiers had already lined up, Li You raised his hand and pointed at the gate and ordered loudly: "Let's go!"

Hundreds of Qin troops marched towards the city in a neat line. The city was completely dark except for the guard post at the city gate, which was still lit with a few torches.

These torches are inserted on the top of the city gate for lighting. The Qin army on duty on the city wall at night will be replaced regularly, and will not be removed until dawn.

Li You led hundreds of Qin troops and ran straight to the east of the city. After nightfall, the streets of Xingyang were quiet, and there was not even a single person.It's no wonder that even before Zhang Chu's army besieged the city, when Xingyang had a large population, the people would return home to rest after nightfall, not to mention that after several months of siege and a lot of people in the city, the streets were deserted. It's natural.

In Zhao Tong's residence, a group of warriors in white clothes walked back and forth in the courtyard with torches in their hands. Perhaps they hadn't had any accidents for a long time, and they seemed a little careless when they walked around.

Right under their noses, several men in black were dormant in the grass.When the group of warriors walked away, the leading man in black waved his hand behind him, and several figures rushed out with a "whoosh".

Xiang Ye's hands were hung on the hemp rope, his two toes were on tiptoe, his head was tilted, and he had already passed out.

The door was gently pushed open with a "squeak" from the outside, and a man in black crept into the room. After entering the room, the man in black gestured to the men in black outside. Men in black ran in one after another, and took out half of a wooden stick wrapped in sackcloth from their arms.

These sackcloths were drenched with greasy grease, and the men in black stretched out the wooden sticks wrapped in sackcloth to the oil lamp in the room, and soon these wooden sticks caught fire.

The leading man in black made a gesture, and the men in black who entered the room nodded one after another and rushed out the door.

When these people entered the room, Xiang Ye, who was in a coma, didn't feel anything at all. He just lowered his head and hung his hands high on the beam as if he was dead.
