"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! My father and Wang Xinyuan did everything. They have nothing to do with me!"
In a mountain forest outside the mysterious manor, Wang Hong collapsed on the ground due to an arrow in his thigh. Through the torches he scattered on the ground and the light emitted by the torches in the hands of the big man in front of him, Wang Hong saw that the big man in front of him was covered with blood. There was blood, and the knife in his hand was still dripping with blood, like a murderer from hell. Wang Hong was almost scared to pee on the spot. He didn't care about the pain in his thigh at this time, and quickly wiped out the snot. Tearfully, he bowed his hands to the big man in front of him and apologized.
"Your father~? Are you Wang Kui's son~?"
This big man is naturally Han Lizheng. As for the blood on his body, it is all the blood of the enemies he fought with before. He himself was not injured. Although Han Lizheng had never seen Wang Kui before, Wang Hong looked He was only in his thirties and could not be the rumored second elder of the Wang family, so Han Lizheng made this guess after hearing Wang Hong's begging for mercy.
"...Yes! But the things my father did have nothing to do with me. I am innocent~!"
Wang Hong first nodded in acknowledgement, then quickly waved his hand to distance himself from Wang Kui.
While talking, there was a rush of footsteps not far away, and then, a group of people came here holding torches. It was the Forbidden Army represented by Zhao Erhu.
"Mr. Han, all the remaining killers under Wang Kui have been eliminated, but Wang Kui is nowhere to be found!"
Zhao Erhu came to Han Lizheng, clasped his fists and said.
"Um!"
Han Lizheng nodded, pointed at Wang Hong on the ground, and said to Zhao Erhu: "Wang Kui has escaped early. This is Wang Kui's son. Take him back first~!"
Hearing Han Lizheng say that Wang Kui had escaped, Zhao Erhu frowned slightly, but he still clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes~!"
After that, he waved his hand behind him, and two forbidden soldiers immediately stepped forward, lifted Wang Hong up from the ground, and were about to take him away. At this moment, Han Lizheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and he quickly said: "Wait a minute. ~!"
The two forbidden soldiers subconsciously paused and saw Han Li ducking in front of Wang Hong. He looked at Wang Hong and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, before this, has anyone come to inform you? You said that the imperial army is coming here to surround you~?"
Hearing Han Lizheng ask such a question for no reason, Wang Hong shook his head in confusion and said: "No... no? Who will come to inform us?"
"What? No? How is this possible?"
Hearing this, Han Lizheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, as if he had thought of something terrible, and he froze in place for a moment.
Zhao Erhu and other imperial guards, including Wang Hong, were a little confused.
After the scene was quiet for a moment, Zhao Erhu asked tentatively: "Mr. Han, do you want me to lead someone to chase Wang Kui?"
Zhao Erhu knew something about the situation of Zhao Deyan and other Turkic spies, and as far as he knew, Wang Kui was the key figure for them to find Zhao Deyan's hiding place. The main purpose of the imperial army coming here this time was to arrest Catch Wang Kui!
Hearing the sound, Han Lizheng came to his senses immediately. He looked anxious and said: "No! We can't chase Wang Kui. Hurry! Return to the post house quickly. Your Highness may be in danger!"
"What? Your Highness is in danger?"
Zhao Erhu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Mr. Han, what do you mean by this~?"
How could Han Lizheng have time to explain to him at this time? He waved his hand, and while calling the rest of the imperial army to take Wang Hong away, he said: "It's too late to explain now, Brother Erhu, you leave a few brothers here to clean the battlefield, and then the rest of the people will follow me back to the post house immediately. , the sooner the better!”
Seeing that Han Li looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, Zhao Erhu didn't dare to be careless. He quickly responded: "Okay! I will make arrangements right now!"
A little later, except for the seven or eight Imperial Guards who stayed to clean the battlefield, the rest of the Imperial Guards who were not injured or were only slightly injured, led by Han Lizheng and Zhao Erhu, mounted their horses one after another and headed in the direction of the post house in Taiyuan City. Running fast.
The team of more than a hundred people, like a fire dragon, first passed quickly on the path near Longshan, and soon came to the main road in the city.
"Mr. Han, what do you mean by those words you just said?"
Zhao Erhu and Han Lizheng were walking side by side. At this time, he finally had the opportunity to "get to the bottom of things" with Han Lizheng!
"Drive~!"
Han Li was controlling his horse and replied without looking back: "Previously, General Dugu arranged for me and others to visit Wang Kui's secret manor near Longshan at night in the post house cell. The whole plan was revealed by a man in black on the roof beam. People eavesdropped. According to General Dugu, the man in black is probably Zhao Deyan's master. After Zhao Deyan learns of our plan, he will probably be one step ahead of us and go to Wang Kui's manor to report the news;
On our side, after General Dugu gave the order, it will take time to mobilize the troops, and it will also take a lot of time for the army to arrive at the manor. Zhao Deyan has every chance to send someone to inform Wang Kui in advance before we arrive at the manor, but just now I asked That boy from the Wang family, he said that no one had tipped him off before we arrived. This shows that both General Dugu and the old man had misunderstood. Zhao Deyan never thought of tipping off Wang Kui from the beginning to the end. As far as he was concerned, Wang Kui Kui is just an abandoned son. Tonight, he may take advantage of the empty space behind us when we go to Wang Kui's manor to sneak attack on the post house! "
"What? Is it possible that Zhao Deyan and the others attacked the post house?"
After listening to Han Lizheng's analysis, Zhao Erhu's eyes widened. His face was quickly covered with a thick layer of fear and uneasiness. Taking two deep breaths, Zhao Erhu said urgently: "Without further delay, let's let it go." I will select a team of light cavalry at the end and rush back to the post house! Your Highness must not make any mistakes!"
In a place like the city where the terrain is not open, the marching speed of a hundred-man cavalry team is definitely not as fast as that of a ten-man cavalry team. That's why Zhao Erhu wanted to order a small team of cavalry to return to the post house first. .
Han Lizheng was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield, and he obviously understood this. He nodded and said: "I will go with you. I hope it's not too late!"
The distance from the post house to Wang Kui's manor near Longshan is actually not that close. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take a long time, not to mention that the imperial guards are fighting with Wang Kui's killers outside the mysterious manor. They had a great battle, which took a lot of time. Han Lizheng actually had a very bad premonition in his heart - something might have happened at the post house!
