It was almost dawn, and there were people setting up stalls and walking on the streets, but not many were still there.

Sun An and his friends walked on the street with so many carriages, which immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

Two people on the roadside were walking forward when suddenly they saw Sun An riding on a horse. They immediately pulled their companions and hid aside, then whispered a few words in their companions' ears.

"You read it right?" asked the companion.

"It's right. I saw him when I was competing with the imperial guards at the school that day." said the person who recognized Sun An.

"Strange, why did he dress up like this?" said his companion.

"have no idea."

"You follow up and take a look, I'll go back and report to the adults first."

"Okay." Then the man quietly followed Sun An and the others.

Penglai Inn is located near the south gate of Caizhou.

On the second floor of the inn, on the right side, in Room No. 3 of Herringbone, a man was walking anxiously around the room.

This person was Yao Biao sent by Gao Qiu to inquire about the news.

Last night, the shouts of killing were shocking, and the officers and soldiers were walking on the street all night. Yao Biao knew that something important must have happened, so he sent two subordinates who came with him to go out to inquire about the news.

But they had been there for almost two hours and had not returned yet, so Yao Biao was anxious.

Yao Biao walked to the window, gently pushed open the window and looked out. There were no signs of officers and soldiers on the street, and the number of people gradually increased.

"It's almost dawn, why haven't you come back yet? Could something happen?" Yao Biao thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door outside, Yao Biao quickly walked to the door and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

"I, Chen Damao." Someone outside replied in a low voice.

Chen Damao was one of the two subordinates who Yao Biao sent out to inquire about the news. When he heard that he was back, he quickly opened the door. Chen Damao quickly flashed into the house. He was the companion who had just recognized Sun An on the street.

.

"Why are you the only one, Luo Zhen?" Yao Biao asked after closing the door.

Chen Damao said: "When we came back just now, we met Sun An, the commander of the left wing of the guards, disguised as a commoner and led a convoy out of the city, so I asked Luo Zhen to follow them quietly and see where they were going?

”

Yao Biao nodded slightly and asked, "Tell me what you are asking about."

Chen Damao said: "Last night, someone broke into Wei's Mansion and assassinated Hua Ju, killing and injured many officers and soldiers."

Yao Biao was surprised and said, "There is such a thing. Do you know who it is?"

Chen Damao said: "I don't know, I only know that this group of people is very fierce. The officers and soldiers did not stop them even if they chased and blocked them. In the end, they broke out of the east gate and fled."

"How is Huaju?"

Chen Damao said: "It seems that it's okay. He also participated when chasing those people."

"That's a pity. If he could kill him, Taiwei Gao wouldn't have to worry anymore."

Yao Biao looked sad and then asked, "Is there any news?"

Chen Damao said: "The group of people who assassinated Hua Ju are good at giving fire, and the fire is very powerful and burns very quickly. Even if it falls on a stone, it can continue to burn. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate have no way to do them.

Watch them open the city gate and escape."

"What's so powerful?" Yao Biao asked in surprise.

Chen Damao said: "I don't know, it's quite amazing anyway. I just saw at the East Gate that the steps on both sides of the city gate were burned black, and the city gate holes were also black."

Then Yao Biao asked Chen Damao some details, then asked him to go down and rest, and continued to wait for Luo Zhen to come back.

The sky was bright and it was in a wilderness forest more than fifty miles away from the east gate of Caizhou.

Kou Xu and others sat on the ground as if they were beaten by frost, looking extremely tired.

"Brother Bahu, your injury is fine?" Guan Shu looked at Bahu and asked.

"It's okay, I can't die." Ba Hu said with an indifferent look on his face.

In fact, he was in great pain now, but he just kept holding on to save the hero's face.

"How is your two arrow injuries? Can you still hold on?" Then Kou asked the two people who were shot in the arrow again.

"It's okay, I can hold on for a while," said one of them.

Kou Shuo sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect that this time I would fall into such a big fall. I didn't kill so many brothers, and I'm really sorry to everyone."

Wei Xu said, "Senior Brother, why are you saying this? Everyone is in the world and has been mentally prepared for a long time, so you don't have to take it to heart."

"Brother Wei said it well. What we do is to lick blood from the knife. Who can guarantee smooth sailing every time? Whether it is life or death, this is all destined. The master of the audience should not be too sad." Ba Hu also said.

In fact, Kou Xun was worried that these people would have any objections and would not be able to manage them in the future, so he said casually and really didn't care about the lives of those people at all.

Now that I heard Wei Xiao and Ba Hu say this, I feel relieved. I look up at the sky and say in a fake way: "Dear brothers, I, the servant Kou, swear to you that I will never let you die in vain.

Yes, I will kill Huaju to avenge you if you have the chance in the future. You must bless all brothers with peace and safety. During the holidays in the future, I will burn a lot of paper money for you to live a good life in the underworld.

.”

Bahu then said, "Brothers, please feel free to go on the road. I will definitely chop off the head of the man who killed you with my own hands to avenge you."

Then the others also expressed the same meaning, but no one in his heart really wanted to avenge those dead. However, if they didn't express it, it would make people feel that they were not interested enough, so they were false.

Said something.

"Senior brother, we can't kill the one named Hua this time. Gao Qiu will definitely not let us go. What should we do next?" Wei Xu asked.

Kou Jung thought for a while and said, "You can't stay in the Divine Fire Temple anymore. Let's hurry back and bring your property to Wang Qing. I helped him when he first rebelled. Later, when I left, he said he would go to the future.

Welcome me back. Now a few years have passed, Wang Qing's power has expanded more than ten times more than before, and he has become king in Huaixi. Let's go to surrender to him. With his protection, even Gao Qiu can't do anything to us."

"The master's proposal is very good, so let's go back quickly to avoid the night of dreams." Fu Yue said.

Then, the group hurriedly set off on the road and rushed back to Shenhuo Temple.

A caravan came on the official road next to the woods thirty miles south gate in Caizhou.

This caravan has a total of ten large carriages and thirty carriages carrying cargo, and there are as many as one hundred and dozens of people accompanying them, which is a huge momentum.

Walking in the front was a big man riding a horse, burly and extraordinary in character. It was Sun An, the commander of the left wing under Hua Ju.

"Stop."

Sun An raised his hand to let the convoy stop and said to the two people around him: "You two go to the woods to take a look."

The two people ran into the woods and searched carefully, and returned and said, "There is no one in the woods."

Sun An immediately rode his horse to the front of Su Yuanjing's carriage and said, "Taiwei, how about we wait for Lord Hua in this place?"

"Okay." Su Yuanjing replied.

Then Sun An asked someone to drive the vehicle to the depths of the woods on the left, and at the same time dispatched several people to hide in the woods on the right to prevent anyone from using the woods on the right to launch a sudden attack on them.

"Wu Hai, go to the edge of the woods and wait. Lord Hua will notify us immediately when he comes." Sun An said to Wu Hai.

"yes."

"Be careful to hide and don't let people discover it." Sun An reminded again.

"The villain understands." Wu Hai left.

After Hua Ju sent Su Yuanjing and the others away, he sent all the servants of the Wei Mansion who were left.

Then he called Wu Rong and gave him 15,000 taels of silver. This was what he had just left behind, just to ask Wu Rong to compensate the families of the officers and soldiers who died last night and those injured.

After explaining to Wu Rong, he went to Caizhou Prefecture and continued to read the file as he did two days ago.

Around the 19th hour, he took You Xu and a group of government officials to visit the people in several urban areas and returned to the Wei Mansion at almost noon.

Before returning to the Wei Mansion, he told You Xu that he would not go to the yamen if he had something to do tomorrow and asked them to handle it according to the procedures if he had something to do.

After returning to the Wei Mansion, he called Wu Rong and said, "I will go back to Bianjing to report to His Majesty, but I don't want people to know that I have left Caizhou. So I want you to send troops to guard the Wei Mansion, and someone will come.

When you see me, you should stop me. Remember not to let others know that I have left."

"Yes, I understand." Wu Rong said.

Following Hua Ju said again: "Through these two days of getting along, I found that you are a good person, and you are responsible to soldiers and the people. So after you go back, I will recommend you to Your Majesty as the Chief of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of the Crown of

If you can lead the soldiers of Caizhou well, don’t follow the old path of Xingwei.”

"I am very grateful for my support."

When Wu Rong heard that Hua Jue wanted to recommend herself as the military commander, he was very happy and knelt down and said, "Please rest assured. If you have a humble position, you will never do anything that violates the laws and regulations of the court. If you can't do a humble position, you will not do anything that violates the laws and regulations of the court.

When he arrived, he would execute Bei Zhilingchi."

"Okay, I remember your words."

Hua Ju pulled him up, gave him a few more instructions, then changed his clothes, led his horse out of the back door and left Wei's mansion, and went out of the south gate and got on the horse.

Half an hour later, Hua Ju arrived at the forest. Wu Hai suddenly turned out from behind the tree and waved and shouted, "Sir, here."

Hua Jue rode over and asked, "Where are their people?"
