"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Everything was done by my father and Wang Xinyuan. It has nothing to do with me! "
In a forest outside the mysterious manor, Wang Hong collapsed to the ground after being shot by an arrow in his thigh. Through the light from the torches scattered on the ground and the torches in the hands of the burly man in front of him, Wang Hong saw that the burly man in front of him was covered in blood. The knife in his hand was still dripping with blood. He looked like a killing god from hell. Wang Hong was so scared that he almost peed on the spot. At this time, he couldn't care about the pain in his thigh. He quickly cupped his hands and begged for mercy to the burly man in front of him.
"Your father ~? You're Wang Kui's son ~? "
This burly man was naturally Han Lizheng. As for the blood on his body, it was all the blood of the enemies he had fought before. He himself was not injured. Before this, although Han Lizheng had never seen Wang Kui, Wang Hong looked only in his thirties. He definitely couldn't be the rumored Second Elder of the Wang family. Therefore, after hearing Wang Hong beg for mercy, Han Lizheng had this guess.
"… Yes! But what my father did has nothing to do with me. I'm innocent ~! "
Wang Hong first nodded and admitted. Then, he quickly waved his hand and distanced himself from Wang Kui.
While they were talking, there was a rush of footsteps not far away. Then, a group of people holding torches came over. It was the imperial guards represented by Zhao Erhu.
"Master 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, cupped his hands, and said.
"Mm!"
Han Lizheng nodded. He pointed to Wang Hong on the ground and said to Zhao Erhu, "Wang Kui has escaped in advance. 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 cupped his hands and said, "Yes ~!"
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him. Two imperial guards immediately came forward and lifted Wang Hong from the ground. Just as they were about to take him away, Han Lizheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He quickly said, "Wait!"
The two Imperial Army soldiers subconsciously stopped in their tracks. They saw Han Li appear in front of Wang Hong in a flash. He looked at Wang Hong and asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you. Before this, did anyone come over to inform you of the situation? They say that the Imperial Army is coming here to encircle and annihilate you? "
Hearing Han Lizheng's question for no reason, Wang Hong shook his head blankly and said, "No … no? Who's going to tip us off? "
"What? No? How is this possible? "
Hearing this, Han Lizheng's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something terrifying. He was stunned on the spot.
Zhao Erhu and the other members of the Imperial Army, including Wang Hong, were confused.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Erhu asked tentatively, "Master Han, do you want me to bring people to chase after Wang Kui?"
Zhao Erhu knew a little about the situation of Zhao Deyan and the other Turkic spies. According to what he knew, Wang Kui was the key person in finding Zhao Deyan's hiding place. The main purpose of the Imperial Army coming here this time was to capture Wang Kui!
Hearing this, Han Lizheng immediately came to his senses and said anxiously, "No! You can't chase after Wang Kui, quick! Return to the posthouse quickly, His Highness might be in danger! "
"What? His Highness is in danger? "
Zhao Erhu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He quickly asked, "Master Han, what do you mean by that?"
Han Lizheng didn't have time to explain to him at this time. He waved his hand and called for the rest of the Imperial Army to take Wang Hong away. He said, "There's no time to explain now. Brother Erhu, leave a few of your men here to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you follow me back to the posthouse immediately. The faster the better!"
Seeing that Han Lizheng's expression was serious and didn't seem to be joking, Zhao Erhu didn't dare to be careless. He quickly replied, "Okay! This general will make the arrangements right away! "
After a while, except for seven or eight Imperial Army soldiers who stayed to clean up the battlefield, the rest of the Imperial Army soldiers who were not injured or only slightly injured got on their horses under the leadership of Han Lizheng and Zhao Erhu and rushed toward the posthouse in Taiyuan City.
The team of more than a hundred people was like a fire dragon. They first flitted through the small paths near Longshan and quickly arrived at the main road in the city.
"Master Han, what do you mean by what you said just now?"
Zhao Erhu and Han Lizheng were walking side by side. At this time, he finally had the chance to get to the bottom of things with Han Lizheng!
"Hyah!"
Han Lizheng controlled his horse and answered without turning his head, "Previously, General Dugu arranged for us to spy on Wang Kui's secret manor near Longshan in the prison of the posthouse. The entire plan was overheard by a man in black on the roof beam. According to General Dugu, this man in black is very likely an expert under Zhao Deyan's command. After Zhao Deyan learned of our plan, it's very likely that he will be one step ahead of us and go to Wang Kui's manor to inform him.
"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 will definitely have the opportunity to send someone to inform Wang Kui in advance before we arrive at the manor. However, when I asked the Wang Family boy just now, he said that no one had informed him before we arrived. This means that both General Dugu and I have misunderstood. Zhao Deyan never thought of informing Wang Kui from the beginning to the end. To him, Wang Kui is just an abandoned pawn. Tonight, he will very likely take advantage of the time when we go to Wang Kui's manor and the rear is empty to launch a sneak attack on the posthouse!"
"What? Zhao Deyan and the others might launch a sneak attack on the posthouse? "
After listening to Han Lizheng's analysis, Zhao Erhu's eyes widened. A thick layer of fear and uneasiness quickly covered his face. Zhao Erhu took two deep breaths and said anxiously, "This matter should not be delayed. Why don't you let me choose a group of light cavalry and hurry back to the posthouse? Nothing must happen to His Highness! "
In a place like the city where the terrain was not open, the marching speed of a group of 100 cavalry was definitely not as fast as that of a group of 10 cavalry. Therefore, Zhao Erhu wanted to choose another small group of people to go back to the posthouse first.
Han Lizheng was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield and obviously understood this point. He nodded and said, "This old man will also go with you. I hope everything is not too late!"
The distance from the posthouse to Wang Kui's manor near Longshan was actually not close. Even if they rode fast horses, it would take a long time to make the trip. Not to mention that the imperial guards had also spent a lot of time fighting with Wang Kui's killers outside the mysterious manor. Han Lizheng now had a very bad premonition in his heart. It was very likely that something had happened at the posthouse!
