Gasping sounds, rapid footsteps.

In the night, Zeng Qian was running on the rugged mountain road.

A long black wall appeared in the distance.

arrive!

Zeng Qian was about to run over.

A cold light flashed and my neck became cold.

A scimitar pressed against his neck, and the blade flashed with a cold light, and a cold voice said:

"Who sent you?"

Zeng Qian's feet were weak and he shivered:

"I...I..."

"I want to die more quickly, just say."

The blade trembled, and blood oozed faintly from Zeng Qian's neck.

"No one sent me...it was myself..."

"snort."

The scimitar shook and it was about to be cut off.

"stop."

Not far ahead, a voice rang in the dark:

"Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Qian almost fainted from fear. When he heard this voice, he felt something back:

"It's me, who?"

In the hazy night, a dark shadow walked out, and the thin body was wearing an old cloth-clothed blue shirt.

It's him, Zhao Han!

"Master Zhao, something happened in the city..."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Qian collapsed to the ground and fainted.

...

...

On the hillside of Jinglang Ridge, the main hall of the courtyard is brightly lit.

Everyone was very serious and listened to what Zeng Qian said after waking up.

Shang is a prosperous place for commerce and trade. Many merchants and chambers of merchants are rushing around overnight. There are rarely curfews in the city.

But just as night went tonight, the number of troops patrolling the city suddenly doubled and a curfew was strictly imposed.

Any ordinary people who dare to go out will be killed without any hesitation.

Zeng Qian happened to be working with his grandfather. He was very surprised and immediately inquired.

The guards said that the remnants of the "Weng Bo" gang were discovered in the city and wanted to rebel and rebellion tonight. The county government and the Shangjun Mansion were working hard to clear them.

Zeng Qian felt strange.

The remnants of "Uncle Weng" have long been cleared out, why did they suddenly come again?

He went back to the yamen and wanted to ask what was going on.

Unexpectedly, when I got there, I found that the soldiers surrounded by soldiers with clear guns and actual armor were all full of murderous auras. No one of the yamen runners who usually guarded the yamen was seen.

Zeng Qian felt something was wrong, so he didn't dare to go up and quietly went to another place to check it out.

He then realized that shortly after nightfall, the four gates in the southeast, west and north had suddenly closed, and heavy troops were set up to guard them, so that everyone could not wait to go out.

But in the city, there was no fighting voice that captured the remaining members of the gang.

Zeng Qian couldn't figure it out.

He wanted to tell the Dugu County Magistrate, but the county magistrate has been staying in the county government office recently, and he can't get in.

Zeng Qian thought of Zhang County Wei, Lord Zong, and Master Zhao, who were all people with a solution.

He ran to the official office where they were staying, but he heard that these people had gone out to do business.

In the end, he had no choice but to go to Jinglang Ridge to find someone.

"How do you know we're here?" Zhao Han asked.

Zeng Qian said, "I met Lord Zhang in the city. After hearing what I said, he asked me to come here."

Everything is very clear.

This time I came to Jinglang Ridge to prepare, everything was going on very secretly, and no outsiders should know about it.

But Dugu Tai learned the news from some unknown source.

With his scheming and thoughtfulness, you will know why so many of us suddenly came to this wilderness.

If we had gained a foothold here, it would be difficult for him to do that.

So Dugu Tai decided to raise an army early.

And their first target of attack was of course this Jinglang Ridge.

Zeng Qian was very surprised to hear that Dugu Tai and Meng Liang were about to rebel, and seemed to be unable to believe it.

Zhao Han glanced around the people in the hall.

Except for Gao Shiyuan who went to borrow troops, Jia Zhen and Shen Xiaoyu, almost all of them should be here.

Except for Zhang Mochen, Brother Zhang.

Outside the door and in the open space outside the yard, the defensive fortifications have not been completed yet.

"Mr. Zeng," Zhao Han said, "Where did you meet Brother Zhang? What was the situation at that time?"

Zeng Qian said that it was near the county government. It was very chaotic at that time. Lord Zhang was wearing civilian clothes. He gave Zeng a message and left in a hurry.

Today, Brother Zhang and Lord Zong went down the mountain together.

He is a person who has the right to speak, and he will definitely do the "plan" he made before going down the mountain.

"Report." At the door, a vendor said.

"Tell me." Zong Changyue said.

"There is a woman in white riding a horse up the mountain." said the man.

Luo Yuer was happy and smiled happily:

"Zhao Han, look, what am I talking about? Miss Ling is my good sister. If I invite her, she will definitely come."

Is that true?

Zhao Han smiled secretly and said:

"Sir Zong, the enemy army is right in front of us, we must start moving immediately."

Zong Changyue nodded, looking calm:

"Master Zhao, let's talk."

Zhao Han looked around, those who were holding weapons and looking at him with respect.

Zong Changyue, Luo Yuer, Jiang Wuyu, Hou Liangjing, a vendor carrying a scimitar, and more than 40 yamen runners...

Dozens of people to four thousand people.

This turbulent drama is time to end.

Can the "human head and ghost case" be solved? The safety of Shangcheng and the entire Longyou, the lives of the people present and the tens of thousands of people in the city, be defeated in one fell swoop.

Dugu Tai, Meng Liang, and the "evil ghost" who is hidden deep...

No matter who you are, how many soldiers you have, how big your conspiracy and ambitions you have.

bring it on.

Master Xiao Han, I'm waiting for you.

...

...

Night, the third day.

The moonlight was covered by the thick fog, like a bite from something.

On the top of the mountain, there are weeds and no traces of people.

A circular formation was placed in front of the black hole.
