At this time, Li Keyeng sat down triumphantly, poured a glass of water from the table and drank it. Seeing that the man in black had not spoken for a long time, he sneered: "Why are you... afraid of this Lu Zuo?" Seeing that he still lowered his head. Silently, he continued, "You and I are both from this area, and I'm afraid no one doesn't know his prestige in the local area. Mr. Zhang learned a piece of news from the court before we had time to tell you, that is, the reason why the emperor asked him to One of the important reasons why Lu Zuo is traveling with him is..." When Li Kenshou said this, he proudly slowed down his speech deliberately, trying to whet his appetite.
The man in black was indeed very interested. He glanced up at Li Kenshou and said coldly: "Say..."
Li Ken saw that this trick was effective and successfully aroused his interest, so he smiled proudly and said, "One of the important reasons is that Lu Zuo is from Shanzhou and has extensive connections there and knows it very well, so the emperor feels He is most suitable to accompany him on the expedition." Li Kershou looked at the man in black and saw that he had his head buried deeply, knowing that he must be deep in nervous thought.
Zhang De saw that this trick seemed to be very effective for him, and he also agreed, "Actually, the person sitting next to Gao Yun today is Lu Zuo!"
"Is he Lu Zuo?" Xu Wuyou asked in surprise, "How could he be Lu Zuo? I saw him when he took the provincial examination?"
"Yes, he is. I heard that he seemed to have his hand and hamstrings broken in prison and was disfigured, so he looks like this now." Zhang De continued with envy, "But He is now the son-in-law of Pingyuan Bo Anyuan Mountain. I have long heard that he is talented and resourceful, but I just don’t know if he will find us out!"
Li Kenshou smiled and seemed to have found a way to deal with the man in black, so he answered in a strange tone: "What are you afraid of? As long as we unite as one, everyone will be safe. I'm afraid we won't be found for a while." .”
Xu Wuyou also nodded, "Yeah! It makes sense, and they can't delay their march to the west. How can they waste so much time investigating the case. If they don't send troops in two days, we will incite other officials to jointly submit a petition to the court. Let’s just say that Gao Yun relied on his own troops, coveted Lanzhou, and attempted rebellion. I don’t believe that the emperor will not punish him for such a serious crime.”
"Haha..." Li Kenshou was very proud, "Master Xu is absolutely right."
The man in black smiled coldly, causing the three of them to shudder instantly. The originally relaxed atmosphere was once again filled with tension. The man in black said, "Do you think Lu Zuo can scare me?"
Li Kenshou didn't take it seriously, "Don't forget, we also have your handle!" As soon as he said this, the weird atmosphere in the room suddenly rose. Zhang De frowned and signaled to Li Kenshou that there was no need to say this. words, but he still didn't take it seriously.
There was silence in the room for a long time. The man in black punched the table with a loud bang. The other three people were so frightened that they all looked at the man in black in surprise. Then the man in black pinched Li Kenshou's neck with his right hand, then showed a bright dagger, glared at Li Kenshou angrily, and said: "You'd better listen clearly, no one can threaten me! It seems that tonight You don’t want to see the sun tomorrow!”
The words of the man in black made the other three finally realize that something was wrong. Li Keyou's face turned pale, and Zhang De and Xu Wuyou quickly knelt down to beg for mercy on Li Keyou's behalf. The man in black snorted proudly, looked at Zhang and Xu who were kneeling on the ground, "You two just need to know each other, I will never treat you badly..." Then he turned back and stabbed Li with the dagger in his hand. Ke Shou's cheek was lightly scratched, and a bright red gash appeared on his face. He sneered, "As for you..."
"Don't...don't let me, sir. I know I'm wrong, so I must cooperate well with you..." Li Kenshou said tremblingly.
"late!"
The man in black raised the knife and stabbed him in the abdomen with the dagger. Blood flowed out instantly, but Li Kenshou was still panting and struggling in the man's hand. The man in black let go of his right hand. He took the dagger from his left hand to his right hand and quickly stabbed Li Kenshou in the heart. When the dagger was pulled out, the blood instantly wet the clothes at the wound. Li Kenshou died in an instant and fell down with wide eyes. Under the stool, lying in a pool of blood.
Xu Wuyou and Zhang De were kneeling on the ground, their faces turned pale with fear. The man in black sneered and wiped the blood stains on the dagger with the cuff of his left hand, and said calmly: "You two know what to do, right?"
Zhang and Xu both nodded repeatedly, "I understand... I understand!" But then I thought about it and didn't understand what he meant, "This? What should I do... Please tell me clearly! You guys must Do it!"
"Disappear now!" The man in black said, and with a bang, he inserted the dagger in his hand deeply into the table.
Both of them were shocked, "Disappear?"
"Yes!" said the man in black, "the further away the better, but don't appear in the Han's country again! Do you understand?"
Xu Wuyou said tremblingly: "I understand, let's leave now and set off immediately!"
Zhang De said: "Sir, the city gate is closed now. How can we get out of the city?"
"Don't worry about this!" The man in black took out a waist badge from his arms and threw it on the table. "This is a waist badge for Lanzhou to leave the city. With it, someone will naturally let you go. Go!"
The long night, amidst the endless sound of rain, became more and more desolate. A carriage hurried away from the city gate in the wind and rain.
The sky was getting brighter and the rain that had been falling all night gradually stopped. The remaining rainwater on the eaves of the posthouse dripped "tick-tick-tock" on the cobblestone-paved patio. At this time, the courtyard was already filled with Lanzhou government officials, all of whom had swords on their waists, but they were no longer as powerful as before, and they all looked a little anxious.
At this time, a sedan stopped outside the courtyard of the post house. The head catcher rushed out of the hospital and stepped forward to greet him. The person who got off the sedan was none other than Lanzhou Governor Fang Jianzhi. Fang Jianzhi glanced at the head catcher in a panic and asked, "Yang catcher, why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"
Yang Captou clasped his fists and replied, "The other adults have just been notified and are all on their way here."
"Where's Marshal Gao?" Fang Jianzhi asked anxiously.
"Young men don't dare to disturb the marshal, so I'll inform you first before making a decision."
Fang Jianzhi hesitated for a moment and then said: "It doesn't matter, wait until the marshal wakes up and report the truth truthfully." After that, he strode into the post house and asked, "Which room is Mr. Li's body in?"
Yang Captou followed him and reported: "It's in the wing facing the street!"
"Oh?" Fang Jianzhi stopped, looking thoughtful, "Are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu living in the two rooms next door respectively?"
