So, countless soldiers searched for the assassin's whereabouts in the small city of Dejing.
The owner and madam of Cuiyanlou also suffered the same treatment as Jinyang Shuyuxuan.
Under torture, the origin of the zither girl was discovered. It turned out that Cuiyan Tower was in urgent need of people, so they happened to meet a "father and daughter" who were performing to sell their skills. The boss bought the zither girl without asking any questions.

"Second...Second Boss, the soldiers guarding the north gate said that just half an hour ago, four or five people slipped down from the city gate. They must be the assassins!"

Zhou Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and then told them that they were coming to Xiazhou to track down and kill Zhou Yuan and Feng Tiangan.
At the same time, he also mentioned the woman playing the pipa.
"We heard from the military commander of Xiazhou that King Hou Tian has already captured or killed all the assassins, but only let this woman go!"
After hearing Zhou Shou's words, the second brother's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Call all the officers quickly."
