"So, the person who killed my eldest brother was sent from Shuozhou?"
After hearing Zhou Shou's words, Zhang Hong stood there in a daze.
Hou Zongmin's guards also looked depressed.
It turns out that the assassin who killed Hou Zongmin was in cahoots with the Pipa girl.
This is simply impossible to guard against!
Hou Zongmin set up an ambush and captured Wang Tiezhu and his group, but he failed to guard against the fact that there was a woman among the assassins.
If Zhou Shou and the others had come to communicate the news earlier, Hou Zongmin would not have gotten drunk and been assassinated by a woman and an assassin.
With the Zhou family's evidence, there is no doubt that the person who killed Hou Zongmin was from Zhao Muyun's side.
The second brother's suspicion was completely eliminated and he was in a good mood.
But thinking that his eldest brother had just died, he couldn't show it too obviously, so he said in a serious tone:
"Third Brother, I know you have a problem with me, but this is the first time I've met the Jinyang Zhou family, and the story of their young master being assassinated is definitely not fake."
Zhang Hong felt somewhat apologetic towards the second brother at this point. He took the initiative to suggest, "Second brother, how about letting me lead the team out of the city to hunt them down?"
"Third brother, it would be great if you could lead the team to hunt down the assassin! We must capture the woman who killed my eldest brother alive. I will make her suffer the most terrible torture in the world."
"Don't worry, second brother!" Zhang Hongzheng nodded emphatically.
"Brother, let us go with you!" Master Feng immediately stepped forward and said.
"They are?"
Zhang Hong saw that these people had cold and fierce eyes, and he knew at a glance that they were not good people.
"They are masters invited by our Zhou family. They are all skilled in martial arts and will be able to help you if they go with you," Zhou Shou explained.
He definitely couldn't reveal any information about Xuetangzhai.
Zhang Hong looked at the second brother inquiringly, and the second brother nodded in agreement.
"Then let's work together to capture all these assassins and take revenge!" Zhou Shou said loudly.
The second brother acted like a superior and said loudly to everyone, "Well! Thank you for your help!"
Zhang Hong no longer paid attention to these things. He hurriedly took a hundred soldiers, rode on horses and held torches, and chased north.
Master Feng and a dozen other assassins from Xuetangzhai followed.
Outside the north gate of the city, a small fire dragon twisted its body in the darkness, moving farther and farther away.
......
In the darkness north of Dejing City, six people were hurrying forward.
One of the women whispered to the other, "Oh no! How come the rebels caught up with us so quickly?"
It turned out that she saw the north gate of Dejing City open on a hillside, and knights with torches were galloping towards them.
"Let's go first and talk on the way." Another person persuaded the woman to hurry up.
The woman scoffed, "Don't they want to sleep at this hour?"
"How can you sleep well after causing such a big commotion and killing their coach?"
"Miss, such a risky thing really makes us sweat! Is it necessary for you to fight so hard?"
Another burly man next to the woman spoke up.
"For my father to come back from Lingnan, what is this sacrifice?" the woman said lightly.
"Miss, do you trust Zhao Muyun so much?" the man said angrily.
"Among all the civil and military officials in the court, who else can help father except Zhao Muyun?" The woman shook her head.
"But he was in cahoots with Master's political enemy, Pei Lun, and was fawning on his power. We saw through his true colors and didn't listen to Master and stay with him."
"Now, Miss, not only have you become a lieutenant under Zhao Muyun, risking your life to assassinate the rebel leader, but you've also dragged us all into this."
The man complained.
This woman is Miss Bingbing.
The five men in black who practiced with her to assassinate Hou Zongmin were Fan Tong and others, the family generals of Fan Nan, the former Vice Minister of War.
Zhao Muyun was exchanged for Wang Tiezhu as a hostage, and fought with Hou Zongmin.
Then he knew that Hou Zongmin was very skilled and wanted to stop Miss Bingbing who was planning to assassinate him.
However, when Zhao Muyun returned to Jincheng, Miss Bingbing had already left Jincheng and entered the territory of Xiazhou.
When the man said they were dragged into the water, Miss Bingbing said shamelessly, "Why do you say I dragged you into the water? I didn't ask you to help me. You followed me here on your own accord."
Fan Tong and the other men were speechless.
"Miss, don't you know how dangerous the situation was just now? If we hadn't appeared in time and killed Hou Zongmin together, the consequences would be disastrous."
Fan Tong's face was solemn.
It turns out that they were hiding beside the young lady, and whenever she was in danger, they would appear to protect her.
"You also know that the person we killed was Hou Zongmin, the most powerful man among Li Jingang's rebels!" Fan Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead, still feeling scared.
If the young lady hadn't insisted on killing him, Fan Tong and the others would have run as far away as possible.
"Didn't we kill him this time too?" the lady asked back.
"Miss, if Hou Zongmin hadn't drunk so much, and we attacked him soberly, we would be the ones who got hurt and left behind."
"Being able to kill him and escape unscathed is already very rare!"
However, just as Fan Tong finished speaking, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from far behind him, and the light of fire snaked like a poisonous snake in the dark night.
"Oh no! They're catching up!" Fan Tong's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Miss Bingbing's wrist, "Miss, hurry up!"
The five of them immediately quickened their pace and ran towards the dense woods in the north.
Miss Bingbing's embroidered shoes had long been scratched by thorns, but she gritted her teeth and refused to say a word.
