One stone crossbow is very common, and two stone crossbows belong to the military, ordinary people can't get it at all, and they don't dare to use it if they get it, once it is reported, it is a serious crime.

The crossbow machine is well-made, and iron sheets are installed on the edges and corners and other parts that are easy to wear, and Liu Xiu recognized it at a glance, this is the special crossbow for cavalry of the Beijing Army.

In other words, the assassin took the crossbow of the cavalry under Lian Dan and almost shot Lian Dan to death. Who are these assassins, and how can they have the cavalry crossbows of the Jingshi Army?

Liu Xiu became more and more curious about the identity of the assassin, and he continued to chase forward. Just as the assassin was about to flee into a small alley, Liu Xiu waved his arm and threw the Qingfeng sword under his ribs.

The Qingfeng sword swirled in the air, and a crisp click was heard in the ear wheel, and the Qingfeng sword was almost attached to the side of the assassin's head, nailed to the wall at the mouth of the alley, and the blade was pierced at least three inches deep, and the hilt trembled and made a buzzing sound.

The assassin was also shocked by the sword, and he was about to reach out to grab the sword, but Liu Xiu had already stepped behind him, stretched out his arm, and grabbed the collar of the assassin's coat.

The assassin didn't dare to draw his sword again, and his body deftly lowered downward, dodging Liu Xiu's grasp, and then he waved his arm back, and a cloud of white mist smashed towards Liu Xiu's front door.

The distance between the two of them was extremely close, but fortunately, Liu Xiu had always been cautious, and he had been careful, and he raised his palm for the first time to block it in front of him.

Syllable! What hit his palm was a cloud of white ash. The white ash exploded in his palm, splashing Liu Xiu's head and face. He subconsciously took two steps back, and at the same time couldn't help but cough continuously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Assassin escaped and ran into the alley. When Liu Xiu opened his eyes and looked for the assassin again, he was already gone. He pulled out the Qingfeng sword nailed to the wall and strode into the alley.

As he walked forward, he listened, and the alley was quiet, silent, and the Assassin's footsteps could not be heard at all, which meant that either the Assassin did not run again, or he was hiding.

Liu Xiu was holding his sword and walking forward step by step, when Long Yuan caught up, he ran to Liu Xiu's side out of breath and whispered, "Lord! What about the stinging guests? ”

"It's in this alley!" Liu Xiu said in a firm tone.

Long Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, there were high walls on both sides of the alley, but one side was high and the other was short, but even on the short side, the wall was about three meters high.

After looking at the environment in the alley, Long Yuan immediately turned around, quickly exited the alley, and looked left and right.

Liu Xiu stopped, looked at Long Yuan who was standing outside the alley in confusion, and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what's wrong?" ”

Long Yuan frowned and said, "Lord, it seems that this is ...... Yefu! ”

Yefu?! Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he also withdrew from the alley, and looked around carefully, isn't it, this is the small alley behind Ye Mansion, when he came to Ye Mansion, he also saw Ye Qingqiu here.

The assassin must not have fled into the Ye Mansion, right? Liu Xiu returned to the alley, raised his eyes to look at the high wall of the Ye Mansion, and asked, "Uncle Zhong, you say, is it possible for the assassins to climb over this courtyard wall?" ”

Long Yuan looked up, shook his head slowly, and said, "Without tools, it would be impossible for an assassin to climb over such a high courtyard wall!" ”

The courtyard wall of Yefu is almost four meters high, and if you don't have the tools to climb it, you can't climb it unless you have wings on your back.

Liu Xiu retracted his gaze and walked from one side of the alley to the other side of the alley.

He was sure that the Assassins had not escaped from the alley, and that the alley was very clean, with no messy furnishings, and no place to hide, so the Assassins either fled into the Ye Mansion or to the house next door.

He asked, "Uncle Zhong, whose mansion is the house next door, do you remember?" ”

"It's also the Ye family!" Long Yuan replied.

Seeing Liu Xiu's look of surprise, Long Yuan said: "Actually, the houses in this half of the street belong to the Ye family!" ”

Or how can you say that the Ye family is the richest man in Hanzhong! Liu Xiu didn't pay much attention to the Ye family, but Long Yuan inquired a lot about the Ye family in private.

It seems that the assassin must have escaped into the Ye family! Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's go, we have to go and meet Ye Gong!" ”

Long Yuan asked in a low voice, "Lord, do you want to prophet Lian Dan's subordinates?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head slowly and said, "If Lian Dan knows that the assassin escaped into the Ye family, the Ye family will also be implicated." ”

If the assassin doesn't run into the Zhang family and the Li family, why did he just run to your Ye family, no matter whether the assassin can be found in the Ye Mansion or not, the Ye family will make a fuss, and they can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

As Liu Xuan said, they don't have to do their best to do things for Lian Dan.

The reason why Liu Xiu wanted to see Ye Khotan was mainly to inform Ye Khotan that the assassin was likely to escape into his house, and asked him to arrange for the nursing home to do a good inspection, and it was best to find out the assassin, and the provincial assassin hurt people in Ye's house.

The two of them were walking outside the alley, and Gai Yan finally caught up, he was panting non-stop, and when he saw Liu Xiu and Long Yuan, he looked around and asked breathlessly, "Where are the assassins?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's possible that you have escaped into the Ye Mansion, let's go in and have a look." ”

The three of them turned to the front gate of the Ye Mansion, where a family member was cleaning the porch. Seeing Liu Xiu and the three of them coming, the family was stunned for a moment, recognized Liu Xiu, hurriedly put down the broom, walked forward quickly, bowed down and said, "Liu Gongzi!" ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand to the family and said, "Can the little brother talk to Ye Gong, just say that Liu Xiu wants to see him." ”

"Okay, okay, Liu Gongzi is here later, I'll go and report to the master!" Liu Xiu has no shelf, he is very polite to everyone, and the Ye family's family also has a good impression of him.

Jiading ran into the Ye Mansion in a hurry, and after a short time, he came out of the door and said to Liu Xiu with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, my lord is invited!" ”

"I'm tired."

"Liu Gongzi is polite."

Entering the hall of Ye Mansion, Ye Tian was sitting in it drinking tea, and when he saw Liu Xiu coming in, he stood up, stepped forward with a smile, and arched his hand and said, "What kind of wind blew Uncle Wen to the cold house today?" ”

Ye Tian had already heard the news of Lian Dan's arrival in the county seat, and Liu Xiu and the other rebels naturally had to go to greet the first general, why did they suddenly come to their house now?

Liu Xiu first bowed his hand, and then said: "Ye Gong, when General Lian entered the city, he was attacked by assassins, and I came to Ye Mansion after tracking the assassins!" ”

Ye Tian was stunned and tracked down the Ye Mansion where the assassin arrived? He asked suspiciously, "What does Uncle Wen mean that the assassin fled into my Ye Mansion?" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "The assassin fled into the small alley on the side of the Ye Mansion and suddenly disappeared, according to our judgment, the assassin either fled into the Ye Mansion or fled to the house next door, but as far as I know, the house next door is also in the name of the Ye family, so we came to visit Ye Gong." ”

When Ye Tian heard this, his brows tightened, and he looked at Liu Xiu intently.

It was impossible for Liu Xiu to lie about such a big matter, but how could an assassin suddenly run into his home? He pondered for a moment, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wen, have you already reported this matter to General Lian?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Knowing that the assassins fled into the Ye Mansion, it is now limited to the three of us, and we don't plan to report this matter to General Lian, after all, this kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly." ”

Ye Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, assassinated Lian Dan, the dignified general of the first generation, so can he pay it back? No matter who is involved, as long as they have anything to do with this matter, there will be no good fruit to eat in the end. Ye Tian gave Liu Xiushen a salute, bowed to the ground, and said: "Uncle Wen's kindness to Ye Fu, Ye is unforgettable!" ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly bowed and saluted in return, saying, "Ye Gong is too polite. He straightened up and said: "The assassin is highly skilled, not to be underestimated, if it is really in the Ye Mansion, there is danger in the Ye Mansion, Ye Gong should quickly search the whole mansion!" ”

Ye Tian nodded again and again, even if the assassin didn't hurt people in the mansion, as long as he was still hiding in his own house, it would be a huge hidden danger, and the whole mansion could be implicated at any time. He tilted his head and said, "Ah Fu! ”

With his summoning, Ye Fu, the housekeeper of the Ye family, hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master! ”

"Is there any movement in the house?"

Ye Fu shook his head and said, "Master, the house is calm and there is no movement!" ”

Ye Tian said in a deep voice: "Immediately organize the family Ding Nursing Home, search the whole house, remember, don't miss any corner!" ”

"Yes! Master! Ye Fu agreed, turned around and was about to walk out. At this time, a person walked out of the inner door of the hall and said, "Dad, don't go and search, the assassin that Uncle Wen said is now in our mansion!" ”

Hearing the words, the faces of everyone present changed at the same time, and they all looked for the voice. I saw that the person who came out of the inner door was Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Tian reprimanded with displeasure: "Qingqiu, what nonsense are you talking about, it's none of your business here, go back to your boudoir!" ”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head to look at Liu Xiu, who was also looking at her in surprise.

Could it be that she happened to meet the assassin?

In fact, Liu Xiu didn't think that the assassins would have anything to do with the Ye Mansion. There is not such a deep relationship between Ye Fu and Lian Dan, and there is no need to gamble with the lives of more than 100 people in the Ye family to assassinate Lian Dan. This is too stupid, it is impossible for Ye Tian to do such a stupid thing.

Ye Qingqiu and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, turned their heads, and whispered to the inner door: "Cousin, come out!" ”

As she spoke, after a while, another person walked out of the inner door. The man was dressed in men's clothes, but when he looked at his face, he could still tell that she was a young woman with a beautiful face.

Seeing her, Liu Xiu and Ye Tian were shocked in unison.

Liu Xiu recognized it at the first time, she was the assassin who sprinkled her head with white ashes. Ye Tian subconsciously said: "Ruoyan? You...... When did you come to the county? Also, you...... Why is this dressed? ”

Without waiting for the handsome woman to speak, Ye Qingqiu answered: "Dad, cousin is the assassin who assassinated Lian Dan just now!" ”

Ye Tian, who was still sitting in the chair, stood up involuntarily and looked at Ye Qingqiu in disbelief, and after a long while, he turned his head to look at the beautiful woman and asked, "Ruoyan, you said, this is ...... What the hell is going on! ”

The delicate woman lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, I am avenging my father!" ”

"What?" Ye Tian looked dazed. Ruoyan's father and mother passed away, but she died at the hands of a barbarian, and if she wants to take revenge, she should also go to the barbarian, how could she assassinate Lian Dan?
