An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

When we returned to Bingzhou Inn, the snow was getting heavier.

Zhao changed his nightgown, opened the window, looked at the snowflakes, and thought about the route this time.

It was not a good thing to involve Jinyiwei. Although he had never met that group of people, Zhao had heard of their dog-skin plaster. Jinyiwei had great power. If the city was closed again, he would not be able to hold it together with his people!

The three-day rest plan had been aborted. He could only make a decisive decision. He would prepare enough supplies tomorrow and leave the city at night. He hoped that there would be no trouble then.

Zhao did not think about anything else, blew out the candle, and went to sleep.

The next day, the snow was a little lighter, but the weather was much colder.

Zhao got up very early. There were many things to do, so he slept less.

Without waking up Liu Rouwei who was still sleeping, Zhao went to eat breakfast alone in a cotton robe.

After two bowls of noodles, the coldness was finally dispelled. After ordering four steamed buns, Zhao asked the store to deliver them to Rongzhan, and walked back to the inn with his hands behind his back.

When the buns were delivered, it was almost noon, so Zhao bought the steamer, left 15 taels of silver, and took the buns back to the room.

Just as he put the buns into the space, Liu Rouwei had finished washing up and came out to ask Zhao when to eat.

Zhao didn't hesitate and ordered a table of food.

After the food was served, Zhao slowly said: "I can't stay in Bingzhou anymore. Let's go to sleep after dinner. Leave the city after dark and go straight to Chang'an from Linfen.

Liu Rouwei's eyes widened immediately, and she was puzzled: "Are you in such a hurry?" "Well, there are Jinyiwei in the city, and I'm afraid I can't leave if something happens. "Zhao did not hide it and told him everything he saw last night.

After that, the two looked at each other. Although they did not speak, they understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

At the same time, in the prefectural yamen, Gu Yuan listened to his subordinates' reports.

When he heard that someone had worshipped at Jiang Ruhai's mother's grave, he waved his hand to interrupt his subordinates' chattering. He felt something, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Who is it?" Gu Yuan pinched his chin, unable to figure it out.

"Sir, I think it must be an old acquaintance of Lord Jiang." "Nonsense, who would go to his mother's grave if they didn't know each other?" Gu Yuan said indignantly, and then ordered, "Jiang Ruhai has been in the navy for more than ten years, who went to his grave? Go check! "

The subordinate bowed and said yes, with a confused look on his face. Jiang Ruhai's comrades and colleagues must have at least 80,000 if not 100,000. Where to check and how to check are all unknown.

Gu Yuan certainly didn't know what the subordinate was thinking. He waved his hand and let the subordinate go out. His heart was like a knot of thread, and he couldn't find the end of the thread, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

Until it was completely dark, the subordinate brought in food and advised "Masters also need to eat." Gu Yuan immediately figured it out. The master went out in the middle of the night last night, wearing a nightgown. Today, there were traces of worship on Jiang Ruhai's mother's grave. It was too coincidental!

"Has anyone left the city in the past hour?" Gu Yuan asked hurriedly.

The subordinate was stunned, thought about it, and replied: "Yes, a rich young master and a maid, riding horses, went out of the city through the south gate. "

"Hurry up and chase. "Gu Yuan stood up and said hurriedly.

After that, Gu Yuan grabbed the embroidered spring knife on the table and pushed the door out first. The subordinates had no time to notify others, so they could only follow Gu Yuan out.

Two people, two horses, hurriedly chased out from the south gate.

After riding for half an hour, they saw Zhao Jue and the other man on horseback.

"Stop the horse quickly, the Jinyiwei is investigating the case." Gu Yuan shouted hurriedly.

Zhao Jue pulled the reins, stopped the horse and turned around, letting Liu Rouwei continue to move forward. Seeing the two people chasing after him, he cried out in his heart that it was bad luck. He didn't want to run into the Jinyiwei after all the hardships, but he didn't expect to run into them.

Seeing Zhao Jue stop the horse, Gu Yuan also stopped the horse and said: "I am Gu Yuan, the Jinyiwei Zhenfushi. I am afraid that you two can't leave today. Please get off the horse and follow me back to the yamen to explain why you want to worship Lord Jiang's mother."

Zhao Jue curled his lips and smiled, and said coldly: "What if I don't go back with you?"

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless with my knife! "

Before Zhao Jue finished his words, he had already thrown several hidden weapons. He was only a fourth-rank official, and he had killed third-rank officials before. Gu Yuan was shocked and didn't dare to think that someone would really dare to attack the Jinyiwei, but he couldn't care about that now, and hurriedly drew his sword to block the hidden weapon.

One step slower, every step slower, Zhao would not give Gu Yuan a chance to breathe.

He kicked the horse's back with both feet, jumped towards Gu Yuan, and swung his sword to cut. Gu Yuan had just blocked the hidden weapon at this time, and hurriedly swung his sword to block it.

How could a quick sword block Zhao Jue's chopping, Gu Yuan couldn't relieve the force, so he could only step on the stirrup and use the horse's retreat to relieve the force.

Zhao Jue's attack continued As soon as the wave came, Gu Yuan could only block it. When Zhao Jue landed, he hurriedly retreated from his horse. Unlike soldiers, warriors have no experience, skills, or even ways to exert force on horseback, so Gu Yuan hurriedly dismounted to avoid playing to his strengths.

Gu Yuan's momentum changed after he got off his horse, and he danced with the Embroidered Spring Sword with great vigor. For a moment, Zhao Jue could not advance an inch.

Zhao Jue was afraid that there would be reinforcements behind him, so he decided not to let Gu Yuan delay any more. His internal energy was immediately aroused, and the Tang sword swung open the sword net and went straight to Gu Yuan's middle gate. Gu Yuan was so experienced that he turned his sword to block the Tang sword, stepped back two steps to distance himself, and resolved Zhao Jue's offensive in one fell swoop.

"Ask the sky!"

Zhao Jue saw Gu Yuan retreating, and his internal energy was running, using the first move of the Tianyuan Sword Technique. The sword energy was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and like a surging wave. Gu Yuan did not dare to block it hard, so he could only use light skills, retreat several steps, and sidestep to avoid the sword energy.

The sword energy hit the snow, raising a flurry of snowflakes and leaving a nearly foot deep sword mark. Gu Yuan's face changed. Although they were both fourth-grade, he could clearly feel that Zhao Jue's fourth-grade attainments were much deeper than his own, and Zhao Jue's internal energy was long and his swordsmanship was sharp. If he fought for a long time, he would die!

After swinging a sword, Zhao Jue ignored Gu Yuan's reaction, got on his horse, and turned to chase Liu Rouwei in front.

On Gu Yuan's side, his subordinates were about to ride their horses to chase, but Gu Yuan stopped them and said helplessly: "Don't chase, although this person is said to be fourth-grade, he has already stepped into the third grade. If we chase him again, it is likely that the two of us will die here."

"Then Lord Jiang..." The subordinates were uneasy.

"How can you go from sixth grade to nearly third grade in a few months? With this talent, why do you have to kill the imperial envoy desperately?"
