As the sky gradually darkened, the entire inn fell into silence. A group of people wearing black clothes and masks gathered secretly near the inn.
The Qin army was patrolling on the street, while some of Liu Bang and others in the inn were sleeping soundly and some were whispering.
"Miss Qi, I saw you didn't eat much. You should be hungry now. Eat one first!"
Liu Bang took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out a white flour steamed bun and handed it to Qi Ji.
At this time, Qi Ji still seemed a little embarrassed.
This was the first time she was alone with a strange man, and it was impossible to say she wasn't afraid.
Although Liu Bang in front of me looks like a good man.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu Ting, I'm not hungry."
Qi Ji shook her head shyly.
"What, are you afraid that I'll poison you?"
Liu Bang raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
Qi Ji waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Qi Ji knows that Chief Liu Ting is a good person."
"Take it, why are you being polite to me? Also, don't call me Liu Tingzhang. If you are a stranger, just call me Liu San'er or Sanlang!"
"this"
Seeing Liu Bang forcefully stuffing the steamed bun into her hand, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Liu Sanlang."
"hehe."
Liu Bang smiled stupidly and couldn't help but feel a little lost when he looked at Qi Ji's appearance.
Qi Ji's pretty face turned red with embarrassment again, and she bit her bun in small mouthfuls, not daring to look at Liu Bang.
But Liu Bang made no secret of his love for Qi Ji and teased her again with a smile: "Your appearance is much better than Fan Kuai's"
When Qi Ji heard this, she stopped biting her bun and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Liu San. Did Sanlang say Qi Ji is good-looking?"
"Yeah! It looks good! Much prettier than the one at my house!"
Liu Bang said without blushing, and then asked curiously: "Has no one ever praised you for being beautiful?"
"No."
Qi Ji slowly shook her head: "When my father was at home, he basically didn't let us go out. He said it was too messy and unsafe outside. Moreover, I wear a headscarf every time I go out, and no one has seen my whole face."
"Well"
Liu Bang was speechless.
However, after carefully looking at Qi Ji's appearance, he realized that Qi Ji's father was quite prescient.
As for Qi Ji's appearance, if someone with intentions saw it, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, the scoundrel on the street didn't see clearly, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Liu Bang suddenly remembered what the rogue had said before and couldn't help but frowned.
If the scoundrel discovers the true identity of himself and others, he may find an opportunity to retaliate against himself and others.
As a result, Yongcheng cannot be kept.
As for Zhao Hao
Thinking of the purpose of coming to Yongcheng this time, Liu Bang was entangled in his heart, but he was only entangled for a moment before he was relieved.
Because he suddenly remembered what Fan Kuai said, if he was destined to Zhao Hao, he would definitely meet Zhao Hao.
Rather than go find Zhao Hao yourself.
but.
If I really have the appearance of a noble person as the white-haired old man said, then I might be able to achieve a great career without looking for Zhao Hao.
As long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely seize it.
Not seeing Zhao Hao now means that I have no chance with him and he is not my chance.
Since it's not your chance, why bother?
right! No need to worry!
"Sanlang, what's wrong with you? Did Qi Ji say something wrong?"
Seeing Liu Bang's expression gloomy and uncertain, Qi Ji felt nervous and asked cautiously.
Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, eat quickly, we will rest after eating, and we have to go find your father tomorrow."
"good."
Qi Ji, whose beautiful eyes were smiling like a moon, nodded softly.
About half a quarter of an hour later, she finished eating the steamed bun in her hand, leaned on Liu Bang's shoulder, closed her long eyelashes, breathed evenly, and grabbed Liu Bang's clothes with her small hands.
And at the same time.
The man in black outside the inn was quietly approaching the room of Liu Bang and others.
When they came to the door of Liu Bang and others' room, one of the leaders, a man in black, took out a piece of white cloth from nowhere.
After opening it, it turned out to be a detailed layout of the room of Liu Bang and others. Even who lived in it was clearly marked.
At this moment, the corridor outside the room was dark, with only the moonlight shining in from the window.
I saw the man holding the white cloth reaching out and making a few quick gestures in the air. The man in black next to him immediately pulled out the weapon on his waist and moved toward the room where Liu Bang and others were.
"Crack!"
An inaudible sound of moving the door bolt sounded in Fan Kuai and Xia Houying's room.
The three men in black opened the door carefully, walked in quietly, holding daggers, and slowly approached the bed.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the dagger in his hand stabbed towards the head of the bed.
"who!?"
At this moment, Fan Kuai, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
"puff!"
The dagger was blocked by Fan Kuai's hand and changed its original trajectory. It narrowly missed Fan Kuai's left face and penetrated deeply into the bed board, making a muffled sound.
The man in black looked shocked, as if he didn't expect someone to be so alert while sleeping.
It was even more unexpected that the opponent's reaction was so fast and that he could avoid an assassination attempt at such a close distance.
At this time, Xia Houying, who was sleeping next to Fan Kuai, also woke up and punched the man in black on the chest, making an unpleasant muffled sound.
It was like the sound of broken bamboo.
Unfortunately, in order to avoid the dagger, Fan Kuai pressed his head under Xia Houying's armpit, preventing him from using his full strength.
"Bang!"
The man in black flew out like a kite.
Fan Kuai shouted: "Liu San'er, there is an assassin!"
Suddenly, the whole inn became a mess.
Although at this time, Liu Bang slept very peacefully because of the fragrance on Qi Ji's body, what can be seen is that Fan Kuai's voice can definitely wake up the dreamer.
When the man in black was about to raise his dagger to stab Liu Bang, he kicked the man in black in the chest, destroying the assassination attempt.
The next moment, Qi Ji also woke up and screamed during Liu Bang's movements.
"ah--!"
"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
While Liu Bang comforted Qi Ji, he picked up the sword beside him and drew it to face the enemy.
Not long after, Xia Houying, Fan Kuai and others also came to Liu Bang's room.
There are more and more assassins inside and outside the door.
But within a short time, the two sides were fighting.
Seeing such a bloody scene, Qi Ji hid behind Liu Bang and turned pale with fear.
At first, Liu Bang had a premonition that he and others would be retaliated against, but he did not expect that the revenge would come so quickly.
And looking at the equipment of these people, it was very complicated. I guess I and others must have offended a big shot.
"Damn it! Doesn't the Great Qin court govern the country according to law? How dare these people be so rampant and assassinate in the city!"
Zhou Bo was indignant while fending off the enemy.
Liu Bang on the side smiled coldly: "Maybe the person who killed us is someone from the Qin court!"
"How could it be, we didn't"
Cao Shen was a little surprised, but halfway through his words, when he saw Qi Ji behind Liu Bang, he shut his mouth instantly, thinking that beauty is indeed a curse.
The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and all the men in black were killed. But the man in black, who was rolling on the ground, was still shouting, "If you can't run away, the people behind will kill you all" and so on. .
"It seems there is still an ambush outside, we have to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Liu Bang looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Although he had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood on battlefields, he had never set foot on a battlefield, and this was the first time he had seen such killings.
After everyone heard this, they didn't waste any more time and immediately took Qi Ji and ran towards the door of the inn.
Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly, because they were not familiar with this inn. On the way to find the back door of the inn, they got lost and ran into the kitchen.
"No one's here yet. If you have any wounds, treat them first. I'll stand guard for you!"
Liu Bang stood at the door with a long sword in his hand, and said anxiously to Fan Kuai and others.
Qi Ji stepped forward and hugged his arm with some self-blame, and choked with sobs: "It's all my fault that I caused you trouble!"
"What are you talking about? The origins of these assassins are unknown, and they may not have been recruited by you!"
Liu Bang smiled and said, "Maybe he's here to steal money!"
"But."
Qi Ji's lips moved and she stopped talking.
She knew that Liu Bang was comforting herself.
Because Liu Bang and others are not rich at first glance.
These assassins definitely didn't come here to steal money.
"Liu San'er, do you think these people were recruited by the scoundrel from before?"
Fan Kuai asked coldly.
Liu Bang looked at Qi Ji, then at everyone, shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but the background is definitely not small!"
"So what do we do now?"
Zhou Bo asked while treating the wound.
He was almost stabbed to death in bed by an assassin just now. Fortunately, Fan Kuai's voice was loud enough and he woke up in time, so he was only stabbed in the hand by the assassin.
However, facing this unexpected situation, he was a little confused for a while.
But seeing Liu Bang pondering for a moment, he frowned and said: "Go to the government first. If these assassins dare to attack the government, it means that the people in the government are really colluding with them, then we will definitely die. If there is no collusion, there may be a glimmer of hope. "
"But what if they stop us and don't let us out?"
Xia Houying asked worriedly.
At this time, Fan Kuai on the side suddenly said:
"How about we burn this inn down? I don't believe there is such a big movement, and the patrolling Qin troops will turn a blind eye!"
After saying that, he picked up the oil lamp and prepared to light it.
At this time, Cao Shen quickly stopped him and said: "It is a serious crime to set fire to a house. Even if we are rescued, we will be punished!"
"Oh, how long has it been and you are still abiding by the law? Look at these assassins, do they abide by the law?"
"But."
Cao Shen opened his mouth but stopped talking.
He is a jailer who is specifically responsible for Qin's laws, so he naturally knows how harsh Qin's laws are.
And as a Qin official, he didn't want to break the law.
But Liu Bang rolled his eyes and made a decisive decision: "Fan Kuai is right, saving your life is the most important thing now!"
Soon, they set the kitchen on fire and rushed outside the inn.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed out of the inn, the sound of killing came from the back door again, and the sound was stronger than those of the men in black before, and everyone's expressions changed.
Liu Bang saw that this place was still quite a ways away from the city gate. The city gate was obviously closed at this time. He looked at the woods to the north of the inn. It was a dark passage and it was dark. He should be able to hide in the woods for a while, so he whispered to everyone. : "This forest is said to be the Qin King's Forest Garden in the ancient capital of Yongcheng. The mountains and rivers inside are complex and should be a safe haven!"
When he was in Peixian County, he also read some military books and knew that he could not "be attacked from both sides".
If you are avoiding assassins in the city, you will easily end up in a dead end. It is better to rely on the complex terrain in the forest to avoid risks.
Besides, these assassins should have some scruples when they assassinate at night. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be easy to arrest people in broad daylight?
Not long after, Liu Bang and others rushed towards the woods.
The man in black behind him was in hot pursuit.
At the most dangerous moment, several men in black almost surrounded Fan Kuai and killed him in the forest. Fortunately, Xia Houying and Zhou Bo risked their lives to save him, and they saved him from danger.
Despite this, Fan Kuai was still hit by several swords, which was horrifying to watch.
Liu Bang originally thought that the fire in the inn would attract the patrolling Qin army to check, and even alert Zhao Hao in the city to send troops to suppress the assassins.
However, what he didn't expect was that there was no movement at all in the city.
what is happening?
Why are these people so rampant?
Is there any royal law in Da Qin?
Liu Bang, who was running away and fighting at the same time, was extremely depressed. He still didn't understand what was going on.
"Liu Liu San'er, I. I'm dying soon. Why don't you leave first and I'll cut off your queen?"
Fan Kuai, who was seriously injured, said breathlessly.
Liu Bang's face darkened and he immediately shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? We must survive. Only by surviving can we get revenge!"
However, at this moment, a stream of light struck.
"Liu San'er, be careful!"
Xia Houying yelled anxiously, and the long sword in his hand blocked the incoming arrows.
But I heard a laugh not far away: "What a pity, what a pity!"
"It's you!"
Liu Bang was attacked by someone and was furious. He was about to fight back, but when he heard the laughter of the visitor, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Following the sound, a figure appeared in the firelight.
It was the scoundrel who molested Qi Ji in the street.
"Weren't you very capable on the street before? If you want to be a hero and save a beauty, you must also consider your own strength. There are some people you can't afford to offend!" the rogue sneered disdainfully.
Liu Bang narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, we are..."
"idiot!"
Before the rogue could finish his words, Ying Zhan from behind kicked him to the ground, followed by a cold drink.
When Liu Bang and others saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
But I heard Sheng Zhan say again: "Those who know the truth, hand them over quickly, otherwise, you will all die!"
Liu Bang's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "You are blatantly robbing a powerful woman, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
"Wang Fa?"
Ying Zhan sneered: "In Yongcheng, my young master is Wang Fa!"
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Catch them!"
"this……"
Liu Bang and others looked at each other.
Isn't this Nima too arrogant? Dare you compare yourself to Wang Fa? !
Even the son of the First Emperor would not dare to be so arrogant...
etc!
The son of the First Emperor? Could it be Gongzi Hao?
Thinking of Zhao Hao in Yongcheng, Liu Bang and others felt a little bit in their hearts. If this young master was Zhao Hao, then they would be in bad luck.
Damn it!
How did you get into trouble with him!
Liu Bang and others were depressed for a while, but now was not the time to dwell on this. They heard Liu Bang shouting: "Run away!"
