Hong Bozhi is a man from the martial arts world, known as the "Star-picking God Rat". He is thin and small, and does look like a mouse. However, he cannot pick stars, and few people care about this majestic nickname, and everyone is more accustomed to calling him "old man".

The old man doesn't like being a soldier. He has too many rules and lives too hard. He is even more boring than going to jail. He doesn't like broken iron cities. There are almost all military camps in the city, and a small number of houses live in the families of soldiers or prisoners. If you throw a bowl, you will make a mess.

The old man is a thief. He prefers another name called the thief. Unfortunately, there are very few people who are willing to call him that.

He had long wanted to be a deserter. When he heard that the "King of the Road" Wang Lingshang, the "Feng Dao" Gu Juren and the "Traveling Iron Shoes" Song Shaokun failed to assassinate General Zhenbei and died on the barren mountain, he knew that he could not wait any longer.

The Broken Iron City entered a state of martial law, and it was not easy to escape. The old man secretly collected some water and food, intending to leave the city quietly after nightfall. If he could take away a horse, it would be better. If he couldn't, he planned to walk and walk for about ten days to reach the Shenxiong Pass.

As long as you can enter the pass, the old man will be in water and will always find heroes in the world to receive him.

Everything went smoothly. General Zhenbei was still in shock and rested in the general's mansion all day. Except for demanding greater vigilance, he did not issue any other orders. At night, the other soldiers were still sleeping soundly. The old man quietly walked out of the barracks, carrying a bag, and a rope wrapped around his waist, and walked towards the southeast corner of the Broken Iron City.

There is a large pile of earth and rocks against the wall in this corner of the city. The legs and feet are more flexible and they can climb up the city wall, which is no problem for the old man.

On the way, he deliberately walked to the general's mansion, hoping that if he could take General Zhenbei's head away, this trip would not be in vain.

The mansion was quiet. After watching for a while, the old man gave up this overly bold plan. If his head was placed in a secret room, he would be sure to be able to hold the sheep. As for drawing a sword to kill, his skills were not as good as those of some ordinary soldiers.

The old man climbed up the pile of earth and rocks, and watched quietly for a while. The number of soldiers guarding the city increased significantly. He patrolled one team after another. He had only a very short time to cross the wall.

The old man took out a special three-fingered iron claw from the bag, tied the rope firmly to it. While the patrol soldiers turned around, he quickly climbed to the opposite side of the ground, used the iron claws to hold the city wall, and walked out of the wall, slowly loosened the rope and fell down. He calculated the time, which was definitely enough.

Be down to earth and succeed in the first step of escape.

The old man gently shakes the rope, which is also a skill. He can shake the iron claws down. Many powerful martial arts masters cannot do it. The old man is quite content with this.

The rope was loose and the iron claws fell off the high wall. The old man looked up and quickly retracted the rope with his hands. It is even more courageous and careful to connect the iron claws in the dark. He had to avoid them at the last moment and let the iron claws land freely. At the same time, he held the rope tightly to reduce the impact. The iron claws made too loud noises.

He has never failed since he became a military leader.

"Hey!"

A greeting came suddenly from nearby. The old man was shocked and turned around suddenly. He saw more than ten people holding bows and arrows at him in the dark. He was determined to avoid the patrol soldiers on the city wall, but he did not expect that there would be ambush outside the city.

Countless thoughts flashed through the old man's heart, and only one thing he forgot about.

"Ah!" The old man screamed and fell to the ground, hit by his iron claws accurately. He was still unconscious when he was sent to the general's mansion.

To settle accounts with the Chai family, there must be evidence. Han Ruzi bypassed his soldiers. Although the fishermen were loyal to him, they ate and lived with the Jianghu people for several months and had a good relationship. They did not need regular soldiers assigned by the General Han Xing. They were not familiar with the Jianghu people, but they might accept the purchase of the Chai family. He sent several teams of soldiers from Sha Tiecheng to leave the city in the name of patrol. There was only one task to catch anyone who stole Shaecheng.

Han Ruzi was just trying his luck, guessing that Wang Lingshang and others might have accomplices in the city. They either continued to assassinate General Zhenbei or fled. If they could not catch anyone tonight, Han Ruzi could only imprison and question all the dozen people in the army camp.

That is the worst choice, and it is very likely that a true loyal soldier is wronged.

Han Ruzi slept for a while during the day. Although she was still a little tired, she was still in good spirits. She watched the doctor apply medicine to Hong Bo to heal his injuries.

He remembered this thin man in the martial arts world, and he could even name this person.

The crazy monk Guangding once said that Juehou did not know how to deal with people in the martial arts world, so he could not keep strange people, let alone let them serve their lives.

Han Ruzi looked at Hong Bozhi in a coma and wondered how the Chai family had no heroic reputation, so how could they gain allegiance to the people in the martial arts world?

The doctor had already tried his best and said, "I should be able to wake up before dawn. If I can't... I will not have the power to turn the world back."

Han Ruzi nodded and went back to his room to rest. The general's mansion seemed calm, but in fact he was very cautious, but he was still worried. Even the assassin was hidden in the army. Who else is worthy of trusting?

Han Ruzi once again remembered Taizu Han Fu. He encountered many betrayals while fighting for the world. Yang Feng said that Taizu was never ruthless to the traitors.

The captain of the Ma Jun, Cai Xinghai, asked for a meeting. Han Ruzi believed that the eunuch was the eunuch. The ambushers outside the city were all veterans of the Broken Iron City, but the commander was Cai Xinghai.

"This is the only one for the time being." Cai Xinghai came to report the situation. "I sent someone to investigate secretly. The others on the list were resting in the camp, and there were no abnormalities."

Han Ruzi has put the people from the Quying Jianghu on the list and is strictly guarding against him.

Cai Xinghai did not give up, but wanted to speak but stopped. Han Ruzi said: "Cai Xinghai, there is no need to be restrained in front of me."

The fat eunuch still knelt down and kowtowed, and stood up and said, "There is something I have to remind Juehou, I hope Juehou can prepare early."

"Tell me."

"When Juanhou left the city, he brought seventeen noble children, and seven of them died in the deserted mountains, which may cause a lot of trouble."

The dozen people were all noble in the family. They used their father and brother's relationship to transfer to the God's Pass, but were rejected by Han Ruzi and took them to observe the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, they would really meet the Huns.

"The nephew of Feng Shili, the right general of the Northern Army, isn't it one of the dead?"

"Yes. Feng Shili sat on the Godly Pass and commanded 30,000 troops. He would definitely... not be happy."

Han Ruzi sighed, "I understand."

"To be honest, all the children of nobles are hidden dangers. They are sent to the battlefield to fear injuries, and let them go regardless of the disaster."

"Since it's a war, there will be casualties."

"That's right, but as a descendant of a nobleman, there will always be a little privilege. A person's life is comparable to hundreds and thousands of ordinary soldiers."

Han Ruzi was silent for a moment and said, "The Great Chu is so declining. One person's life is more important than hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he cannot even exert his strength."

Cai Xinghai knelt down and kowtowed again, and stood up and said, "No matter what, please don't go to Shenxiong Pass easily. In the Shattered Iron City, we must keep Jue Hou safe even if we fight for our lives."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Do you think my life is more important than you?"

"It's ten thousand times more important." Cai Xinghai said seriously.

Han Ruzi smiled again, "I understand, you go back, I will be careful. If Hong Bozhi wakes up, notify me immediately."

"Yes." Cai Xinghai retreated, more worried than Juanhou.

Han Ruzi took out a few pages of paper, which listed the names of more than a dozen people from the martial arts world, and eleven nobles of the Chai family.

It is said that it is the Chai family's nobles, but most of them do not have the surname Chai. They have all surnames, and they are closely tied to the Chai family through in-laws. They are regarded as the "Chai family". There are more noble children who have far or near relatives with the Chai family. Even Han Ruzi herself is considered a relative of the Chai family because of her old princess.

Cai Xinghai said that a nobleman's life is worth hundreds and thousands of ordinary soldiers. From the perspective of its wide influence, there is indeed some truth.

Han Ruzi was about to rest, but Zhang Youcai suddenly pushed the door and came in, "Master, that guy is awake."

Han Ruzi folded a few pages of paper, put them in his arms, walked out of the room, and wanted to interrogate Hong Bozhi himself. He would never be lenient with the Chai family who bought the assassin.

It was still dark outside, and Han Ruzi and Zhang Youcai met King Donghai and Cui Teng head-on.

"Fortunately you didn't sleep, so I'll have something to ask you for trouble." King Donghai said that he also lives in the general's mansion. Cui Teng was not. He came to see King Donghai in the evening and never left the mansion.

"I have important matters, I'll talk about it later." Han Ruzi was anxious to interrogate the prisoner.

But Tokai Neptune refused to give way, "My business is more important, come into the house and talk."

Donghai King's temper has been much more restrained in the Shattered Iron City. This is the first time that he insists on his own opinions and refuses to give in.

Han Ruzi glanced at Cui Teng. The second son of the Cui family stood behind the King of Donghai. He had just made great contributions and took Chai Yue and others to rescue General Zhenbei. At this time, his face was pale and his expression was flustered, as if he had made a big mistake.

"Okay." Han Ruzi winked at Zhang Youcai and asked him to inform Cai Xinghai to take good care of Hong Bozhi.

Han Ruzi was used to a simple house. After moving into the General's Mansion, he almost never added any decorations. He didn't even hang calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and the tables and chairs were all old things from the past.

Han Ruzi and Donghai King sat down. Cui Teng, who usually thinks he is a "family", stood with his hands down and did not dare to take a seat.

"Cui Er, tell me yourself." Donghai King was a little angry.

"Say everything?" Cui Teng was a little hesitant.

"Nonsense, it's time to hide what else can I hide? Do you have to let Juanhou find out the truth by himself?"

Cui Teng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly knelt down and said to Han Ruzi with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean it. I didn't know that those people really know how to do it. I told them that I would wait for my order, but I didn't expect..."

"So it was the assassin you bought." Han Ruzi was furious and wanted to get up and draw his sword and slash it hard.

"I didn't spend money, it was introduced by someone else. Brother-in-law, I once thought about avenging Chai Yun, but I swear, I didn't want to kill you, even for my sister, I wouldn't do this..."

Cui Teng kept defending himself, and Han Ruzi made several moves before interrupting him, "Who introduced the assassin to you?"

Cui Teng glanced at King Donghai and said in frustration: "It's King of Flower Tiger."

Han Ruzi was stunned. Since the failure of the palace transformation, the Hua family has either been imprisoned or despaired. Unexpectedly, they have contacted him again in Shattered Iron City. (To be continued.)
