The other three guards panicked in search of cover.

"I've killed someone, killed someone."

On the street, pedestrians also ran away in panic, and the whole street suddenly became deserted.

At this time, Zhao Yu had not yet come back to his senses from the shocking changes just now.

It wasn't that he was scared by the bold assassin, he just couldn't accept it for a while, and he actually saved Tong Yan...

Although his purpose of saving Tong Yan was to be able to inquire about the truth about the disaster of the Zhao family in Luyang from Tong Yan in the future, Zhao Yu still felt a little difficult to adapt.

"Big leader."

He Shunsu picked up the short sword dropped by the assassin on the ground, and after checking, he calmly handed it to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu took the short sword, and his pupils shrank slightly, because he was shocked to see that there was a word engraved on both sides of the hilt of the short sword - Zhao!

Do it intentionally?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yu handed the short sword to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan took the short sword and obviously saw the words at the hilt of the sword. He looked extremely annoyed and cursed with gritted teeth: "It's these people again..."

Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly and he tentatively said, "Prince Tong, who dares to assassinate you?"

Tong Yan was silent for a moment, then covered the trauma on his arm and said, "Today, it's really thanks to Zhou Duwei, but this is not a place to speak. If Zhou Duwei doesn't dislike it, it's better to go to Tong's mansion first..."

"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded.

Seeing this, Tong Yan nodded and immediately summoned the three guards and ordered: "Immediately notify the Chief Executive Office and ask them to block the street immediately and search for those damn thieves."

"yes!"

About half an hour later, a group of Liangjun soldiers quickly blocked the entire street and searched the assassins from house to house.

At this time, Tong Yan dared to leave the restaurant.

The dignified Liang County Commander actually encountered an assassination in Liangcheng... Those assassins were really bold and arrogant...

Looking at the Liang County soldiers searching the streets, Zhao Yu thought to himself.

But what he cared about the most was the bright word "Zhao" on the short sword left by the assassin.

If he was not mistaken, this was the assassin who deliberately left it to Tong Yan.

A moment later, under the escort of a whole team of county soldiers, Tong Yan brought Zhao Yu, Niu Heng, He Shun and several black tiger thieves to his mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Tong Yan temporarily left the bandage wound and left Zhao Yu and his group in the lobby of the front room.

After a short while, Tong Yan, who had bandaged the wound, went back and said apologetically: "Tong should have thanked the Duwei Zhou for helping him, but unfortunately..." He raised his right arm a little and apologized: "Master Zhou, please don't be surprised."

"The Tong Duwei is so serious."

Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked curiously: "Who is that person?"

Tong Yan breathed a long sigh and said softly: "...The Zhao family's dead soldier."

A Zhao family's death?

Zhao Yu was also slightly shocked and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

At this time, Tong Yan called a servant and ordered the kitchen in the mansion to prepare wine and food. Immediately, he said to Zhao Yu: "Master Zhou, this is not a place to speak. Please follow me to the study and then have a detailed discussion."

"good."

Under Tong Yan's personal leadership, Zhao Yu followed him to the study room in the mansion.

Seeing that the servants in the study were served tea and left respectfully, Zhao Yu then asked Tong Yan: "Prince Tong, I wonder who the Zhao family dead soldiers you mentioned just now are?"

"This..." Tong Yan showed a little hesitation on his face, as if he was unwilling to explain this matter.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu deliberately said, "If it is inconvenient, forget it."

“It’s not convenient…”

Tong Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made some decision, nodded and said, "Well."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhao Yu, held a teacup in his left hand, and said intermittently: "In recent years, Tong has been ordered to do something and offend many people... The assassin just now was the dead soldier of Tong's enemy..."

He spoke hesitantly, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu deliberately tentatively said: "I think the assassin just now seems to be deliberately engraving words on the hilt of the sword to inform Tong Duwei of his origin..."

"Um."

Tong Yan nodded and said hatefully: "As Zhou Duwei said, these people were deliberately leaving messages, just like they once cruelly killed Tong's father-in-law's family, and Tong's youngest son who was only eleven years old, and arrogantly wrote blood words on the white walls of the mansion. The murderer is the Zhao family's death soldier!"

“…”

Even Zhao Yu didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only say politely: "Please be mournful."

Immediately, he tentatively tentatively: "Does Tong Duwei know the details of those people?"

Tong Yan shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "If I knew the origin, I would have sent someone to capture him early, how could I allow them..."

As he said that, he fell into deep thought again, his face gloomy and unstable.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Maybe it was the Zhao family in Dangshan..."

"Dangshan Zhao family?"

Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly and said deliberately: "It seems that he had heard of it somewhere... Hey, I remember that a few days ago, Duwei Li mentioned the Zhao family in Dangshan. It seemed that he was questioned by Lu County for colluding with rebels. How could this matter be related to Duwei Tong?"

"this……"

Tong Yan realized that he had missed his mouth. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Zhou Duwei saved Tong's life today. Tong shouldn't have concealed anything, but I advised Zhou Duwei not to investigate the inside story... Zhou Duwei should not be surprised. Tong is considering Zhou Duwei."

I don’t want to say this? It seems that the person behind Tong Yan has a remarkable status... Tsk! It seems that I still have to find an opportunity to seize this Tong Yan and torture him.

Zhao Yu looked at Tong Yan's eyes and a cold light flashed. Then, he smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask more questions."

"Thank you, Wei Zhou, for your understanding."

Tong Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the "Zhao Dead Soldier" revealed by Tong Yan still made Zhao Yu a little concerned.

There is no doubt that since these assassins dare to leave behind the blood words "The murderer is also a Zhao family" after killing people, it can be seen that they must be from the Zhao family, so the question is, which Zhao family... is referring to?

Is it related to his Luyang Zhao family?

Zhao Yu immediately thought of Zheng Luo...

As far as he knew, after the Zhao family in Luyang was in trouble, Zheng Luo and a few other guards escaped by chance because they were stationed in Zheng Township. They then disappeared. Zhao Yu originally thought they had gone to Jiangdong to join his brother Zhao Yin, but according to Zhang Ji, he had never seen Zheng Luo and others in Jiangdong.

Neither returning to Luyang nor seeking to Jiangdong, where have Zheng Luo and others been in the past years?

Could it be that the one who assassinated Tong Yan just now was Zheng Luo?

Zhao Yu carefully recalled the assassin wearing a gray cloak in the restaurant just now, but unfortunately, because he was too hasty at the time, he did not have time to pay attention to the face of the assassin, so he naturally could not tell whether the assassin was Zheng Luo or the other guards of the Zhao family in Luyang.

On that day, in order to thank Zhao Yu and others for their life-saving grace, Tong Yan warmly welcomed Zhao Yu, Niu Heng, He Shun and the black tiger thieves, and everyone drank and ate until nightfall.

When Zhao Yu was about to set off to return to the camp outside the city, Tong Yan advised him: "Today, Zhou Duwei saved Tong, I am afraid that the assassin had held grudges with his accomplices. It would be better to rest at Tong's mansion for one night and return to the army tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yu's heart moved and waved his hand with a smile.

He was more inclined to those assassins to come to him so that he could confirm his guess.

Seeing that Zhao Yu insisted on returning to the army overnight, Tong Yan had to give up and reminded him: "Since that's the case, please be careful with Commander Zhou."

"good."

Half an hour later, Zhao Yu, Niu Heng, He Shun and several black tiger thieves rode their horses and slowly left Tong Yan's mansion.

At this time, the streets were silent.

Suddenly, with a tingling sound from the ground, an arrow shot out from somewhere and hit the ground in front of the team.

"who?"

He Shun and others immediately pulled out their weapons and looked around in surprise. Then, He Shun noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing on the roof of a house next to the street.

I saw that under the alert eyes of Niu Heng, He Shun and the other black tiger thieves, the black shadow stared at Zhao Yu tightly, and then disappeared under the night.

Am I being targeted?

Just as Zhao Yu was secretly surprised, a black tiger thief seemed to have noticed something and handed the arrow on the ground to Zhao Yu.
