"Zhao Gao, where are you buried?"

The backyard of Zhao Mansion is even more gloomy and terrifying. Countless trees and layers of house corridors are intertwined. The ground is full of collapsed and scattered objects, which have been completely covered by thorns and weeds growing wildly.

Zhao Gao, who was wrapped in a white cloth on his head and wearing a mask on his face, held a lantern in his hand and slowly searched among the dense thorny weeds. Hu Hai followed him carefully and asked in a low voice.

"Young Master, don't worry, Gao buried him under the osmanthus tree in front of the study room. The study room is right in front, and you will arrive soon..."

Zhao Gao replied in a low voice and continued to walk forward slowly. From time to time, he would encounter collapsed doors, windows, seats, broken pottery and other objects under his feet, making a sensational sound, which was extremely clear in the quiet night.

Almost two moments later, the two of them went around in the messy yard and finally let Zhao Gao determine the location where the imperial edict was buried at that time, but they were buried underneath by several broken pottery jars and a pile of debris.

"Young Master, right below!"

"I'll help you get the lantern, you can dig it out quickly!" Hu Hai was extremely excited in an instant. After taking the lantern from Zhao Gao's hand, Zhao Gao bent down and started to clean up the debris.

Under the cover of a thunderous sound, Chen Yong had already entered the backyard and slowly felt less than ten feet away from Zhao Gao and the others. He hid behind a bunch of thorns and looked at Zhao Gao who was searching for him, and his nervous body trembled slightly.

Under the light of the lantern, Zhao Gao's figure was clearly visible. The Miao people's clothes and masks were worn, and the second person dressed like this could not be found in Xianyang.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Chen Yong felt that life was like years. Zhao Gao was all in front of him. As long as he rushed forward and killed him with one knife, the task arranged by the Marquis was considered to be completed, and it would not affect Madan and other groups of companions. But there were two people on the other side at the moment. He was worried that he could not deal with it. If Zhao Gao was let go and even was killed, it would delay the Marquis's major affairs, so he could only wait anxiously for the arrival of his companions.

Uneasy and uneasy, Zhao Gao had slowly cleaned up the debris, and finally opened a stone slab under the huge osmanthus tree and took out a wooden box from it.

"Young Master, I found it!" Zhao Gao opened the wooden box, took out a long and narrow wooden box from it and handed it to Hu Hai.

"It's good to find it, let me see!" Hu Hai snatched the wooden box, opened it and took a look, and his whole body shivered suddenly. Zhao Gao did not lie to him, which gave him the opportunity to become the emperor's treasure.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"

Hu Hai was so excited that he put the wooden box in his bag. The two of them carried lanterns one after another and returned along the way, and soon they reached less than ten feet away from Chen Yong.

"Crash~" Just as Chen Yong was holding the dagger tightly and was about to rush out for a risky attempt, a slight sound suddenly came from the front yard, and there was also a sound of shocking night birds.

"Shhh, someone!"

Zhao Gao stopped and turned to look at Hu Hai, and instantly felt a chill on his back, while Hu Hai's calves were also frightened. If their actions were discovered tonight, it would be hard to say whether he could become a prince if he became an emperor in the future. Maybe he would be deposed as a commoner and kicked out of the palace by the emperor.

Just when Zhao Gao and Hu Hai were frightened and stunned, Chen Yong held a dagger in his hand and was ready to pounce. The opportunity was once a lifetime. The voice just now must be that Ma Dan and others had entered the yard. It would be best if he could kill Zhao Gao. If he could not kill him, he could also stop Zhao Gao from escaping. When Ma Dan and others heard the news, they rushed over and Zhao Gao would definitely die, because once they arrived on the street, it would be very difficult to kill Zhao Gao, and everyone would be killed when they alarmed the imperial guards.

"Zhao Gao was killed!"

Almost as Chen Yong stood up, a cluster of dead grass on the side, with an extremely low roar, a tall and thin black shadow pounced on him.

Puff~

The short blade in the tall and thin black shadow stabbed into Zhao Gao's abdomen.

"Ah~" Zhao Gao let out a shrill cry, but was instantly punched in his mouth. The wooden mask was split into pieces, and Zhao Gao groaned and fell to the ground.

"Ah~" Hu Hai, who was carrying the lantern, let out a horrified ghost cry.

The tall and thin figure turned around and looked at Hu Hai, and turned around and pounced on him with a bloody short blade.

Hu Hai's soul was so strong that he didn't care that Zhao Gao turned around and ran away with the lantern.

The opportunity was not lost, and when the tall and thin guy went to chase Hu Hai, Chen Yong finally rushed out and stabbed Zhao Gao to stagger and climbed up with a fierce sword.

"Get out!" A cool breeze came from behind. Chen Yong had no time to turn around and could only subconsciously dodge the side, but was then kicked in the back by a big foot, and fell down by thorns.

"You...you...who are you?" Zhao Gao's disheveled hair and his terrifying face were revealed. His lips, which were already curled, and his mouth were covered in blood and flesh. Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared under the night sky, it felt like they were dreaming.

He hid in the palace for more than two years and never left the palace. However, he didn't expect that he would be targeted just now. And if two killers attacked together, there was absolutely no way out.

Blood flowed down the wounds on his abdomen and waist. As the pain stinged, Zhao Gao felt his vision begin to blur, but he wanted to see clearly the person who killed him in front of him.

"Zhao Gao, you still recognize me!" The tall and thin beggar slowly lifted away the messy hair covering his cheeks, revealing a face that looked even ferocious and terrifying. His nose was crooked and a pit on his face, but his facial features could still be clearly distinguished.

"You... are you Li Gui?" Looking at the shaking and blurry face, Zhao Gao recognized it at a glance, and his thoughts became clearer in fear.

"Hahahahaha... It's good if you recognize it. A certain person will save his life in one's life. When he returns to Xianyang, he will cut you into pieces. Today you are ready to enjoy it..."

Li Gui finished speaking as if he was laughing and crying. He waved the short blade in his hand and completely cut Zhao Gao's mouth from left to right. Blood gushed out of the rolled flesh and blood, and his whole face almost drooped. Zhao Gao could only kneel on the ground and make a giggle sound.

Chen Yong had already turned over and got up, staring at Li Gui and said word by word: "I don't care who you are. I must kill Zhao Gao, otherwise I will not be able to go back to submit the job!"

"Haha, Zhao Gao, I didn't expect that you would do many evil things, so many people wanted to kill you, but everything is important to come first and then come. I have a deep blood hatred with Zhao Gao. He must die very slowly. I have to let him suffer from the pain of cutting into pieces to vent my hatred. When I torture him slowly, I will naturally take his body back to hand over to you!" When Li Gui spoke, Zhao Gao's ear was cut off, and at this time, Zhao Gao was completely unconscious.

At this time, there were also sounds of scolding and chasing from the outer courtyard. In the midst of a rumbling, a fire slowly burned. It should be Hu Hai's lost lantern that ignited the thorny weeds.

Chen Yong was anxious. The tall and thin beggar who suddenly appeared from somewhere in front of him was very skilled in martial arts. Although he had trained some sword fighting techniques with Chen Hu and the guards of the Hou Mansion, he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the beggar. Now that the lanterns ignited the thorns and weeds in the Zhao Mansion, the fire lights would soon attract the imperial guards. If the two of them had been entangled for too long, maybe everyone would have to die here today. Thinking of this, Chen Yong put his finger in his mouth and whistled.

"The commander is in the backyard, go quickly!"

At this time, Ma Dan and others who entered the outer courtyard were disturbed by the escaped Hu Hai and were searching for Zhao Gao and Chen Yong everywhere in chaos. However, one of them caught up with the panic Hu Hai and found that it was not Zhao Gao. After hesitating for a moment, Hu Hai threw the lantern over to block it and then got into the weeds. As a result, the lantern lit the weeds. In the panic, he heard the whistle from the backyard. A group of teenagers immediately rushed straight to the backyard with daggers, and soon saw Chen Yong confronting the tall and thin beggar.

"Commander, how about Zhao Gao? The fire is getting bigger and bigger, it's too late to leave?" a young man growled.

"I hope you see our determination. I must see Zhao Gao's head fall to the ground, otherwise today will be your death!" Chen Yong is still making his last effort. If a group of people rushed forward at this time, the tall and thin beggar would undoubtedly die, but a group of companions may also be injured, and then they will inevitably be unable to escape the pursuit and search of the imperial guards, and may eventually expose the Marquis.

The tall and thin beggar looked at the young man holding a dagger in a circle, and suddenly his body shook slightly, as if he had thought of something, so he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you want to see Zhao Gao's head fall to the ground, I will satisfy your wish..."

When Li Gui spoke, he slashed his sword. The blade passed through Zhao Gao's throat, accompanied by a stream of blood splashing out. Zhao Gao's body, who was lying on the ground, twisted violently unconsciously for a few times and then disappeared completely.

Li Gui stepped on Zhao Gao's chest with one foot, grabbed Zhao Gao's head with both hands and turned it hard. He heard a sound of jagging and wiping, and Zhao Gao's head was twisted off alive.

"Puuu~" A bloody head rolled to Chen Yong's feet.

"You go back and tell the Marquis, please treat Li Gui's family well. Li Gui betrayed him in the past and will cause the disaster today. This time it can be considered a way to make up for the mistake!"

"You...who are you?" Looking at the bloody head under your feet, and hearing what the beggar said, Chen Yong felt a little chill all over, and he held the dagger tightly and let out a heavy breath in his throat like a wild wolf.

"If you say my name, the Marquis will know. The Imperial Guard will come soon. If the Imperial Guard cannot catch the murderer, he will definitely search the city. Maybe he will eventually implicate the Marquis. I will handle this matter well, leave quickly!" Li Gui grabbed Zhao Gao's headless body and walked deep into the backyard.

"Go~"

Chen Yong gritted his teeth and put away his dagger, wrapped Zhao Gao's head with a black cloth, and then ran to the outer courtyard with a group of teenagers. At this time, the outer courtyard had already shined in the sky. Not only were the thorns and weeds burning, but a wing room was also lit in the night wind. The strong flames looked extremely clear under the night.

A group of teenagers ran out quickly in the fire, and soon climbed out of the courtyard wall and escaped without a trace.

In the increasingly obvious firelight in Zhao's mansion, you can already hear sharp sirens coming from far and near, as well as the sound of yelling firefighting and ding-banging gongs.
