Zhao Hai and the others found a forest to rest for a while and regained their power. After the horses had slowed down a bit, they got back on the road and walked forward under the cover of night. This time, Zhou Shiwu and the others took a different route. No longer taking the official road, they were worried that the other party would chase him along the official road. For this reason, they also arranged some mazes to make others think that they were still walking along the official road. In fact, they had changed paths.

But they thought too much. When they rushed out of the city, Zhao Hai collapsed the city gate. It was impossible for the people in the city to come out in a short time, so after they left, they quickly Two hours later, someone caught up with them, and there were not many people who caught up with them. They were just less than a thousand cavalry. To be honest, even if these people caught up with Zhou Shiwu and others, they couldn't do anything to them. In the same way, after all, Zhou Shiwu and the others are all masters.

In this way, until dawn, no one in the city caught up with them. Zhou Shiwu and the others found a place to rest, ate some dry food, and took part of the dry food in their hands to feed the horses. At the same time, Zhou Shiwu also took Zhao Hai invited him over. After Zhao Hai came, Zhou Shiwu looked at the sky and said to Zhao Hai: "Sir, it's already dawn. Please go to Pingdu City as soon as possible, so as to ensure your safety."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he glanced at Zhou Shiwu, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's do this, I will bring those wounded back to Pingdu City for you, so that it will be more convenient for you to move forward lightly." The wounded are still there. As for Xiang Xiong's back, with Xiang Xiong's strength, adding so many people is nothing.

Zhou Shiwu shook his head and said: "Forget it, let them follow me. It will be no problem for us to take care of them. This can also reduce some of the burden on you, sir." Zhou Shiwu knew very well that the most important thing now is Zhao Hai This can be seen from the fact that those people from the Demonic Way desperately want to kill Zhao Hai. They are very afraid of Zhao Hai. The more because of this, the more they want to get rid of Zhao Hai, and The more they want to save Zhao Hai's life.

Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "Forget it, let them follow me, not just these few of them. We can go to Pingdu City today. Didn't you ask me to bring a letter to the lord? Can you write it?" Bring more Zhao Hai didn't care about these people at all, and he took a few internal guards to Pingdu City, which made him more trustworthy of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Shiwu heard what Zhao Hai said, he did not insist. If they took so many wounded people with them, there would indeed be some trouble, so he stopped insisting and said to Zhao Hai: "Okay, then I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I'll write the letter right away." After saying that, he took out a piece of white silk cloth from his arms. The white silk cloth was not very big. Zhou Shiwu found a stone, laid out the white silk cloth, and then He took out a bamboo tube from his arms and opened it. Inside was a brush bristle. The cloth of the brush was tightly covered by a leather case. He took off the leather case and put it directly on the white paper. He started writing on the silk cloth, but Zhao Hai didn't read what he wrote.

After writing the letter, Zhou Shiwu directly gathered another small box from his arms, put the silk cloth in the box, then closed the small box and handed it to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai took the box and directly He took it into his arms, and then he cupped his fists at Zhou Shiwu and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now. We'll see you in Pingdu City."

Zhou Shiwu also raised his fist towards Zhao Hai and said: "See you in Pingdu City." Zhao Hai nodded, and then he moved directly onto Xiang Xiong's back. The next moment, Xiang Xiong's wings shook and he soared directly into the sky. It started, circled above Zhou Shiwu's and others' heads, and then flew straight towards Pingdu City.

Seeing Zhao Hai leave, Zhou Shiwu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "Everyone rest for two hours, and then we will leave here. This time we can't be surrounded again. If we are surrounded, Then no one can help us break out." The others all responded with a roar, and then went to seize the time to rest.

Under the command of the wounded, Zhao Hai directed Xiang Xiong to fly forward at a very fast speed. He even deliberately avoided some towns because there might be people from the Demonic Path in those towns. If the Demonic Path As soon as the people saw Zhao Hai flying in the sky, they might attack Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai didn't want to be attacked by them anymore. It wasn't that he was afraid of those people, but that he didn't like trouble, so he avoided it. He visited some towns and flew straight to Pingdu City.

By the afternoon, Pingdu City could already be seen. They were only about ten miles away from Pingdu City. Zhao Hai directly let Xiang Xiong fall from the sky, and then slowly walked towards Pingdu City. When they were still about five miles away from Pingdu City, a group of cavalry rushed out of Pingdu City and came straight to meet them.

After a while, the cavalry arrived in front of Zhao Hai and the others. The number of these cavalry was not very large, only about two hundred. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He looked ordinary but looked very strong. , and there are some similarities with Zhou Shiwu.

As soon as he saw this man, a wounded man stood up immediately. He cupped his fists at the man and said, "See the steward." The other wounded men who were able to move also stood up and saluted the man. When they heard their words, Zhao Hai knew by that person's name that he must be the chief guard of the Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Hai also gave him a fist, and the steward also returned the salute. Then he glanced at the wounded, and then said: "What's going on? Why are you the only ones back? Where are the others?" The steward did not He asked about Zhao Hai's situation first, and then asked other subordinates. Zhao Hai didn't mind at all, but felt that the general manager was really a good soldier.

The wounded soldier who spoke first said: "The deputy general manager is behind. We encountered an attack in Jin's City. With the help of Mr. Zhao Hai, we escaped from Jin's City. The deputy general manager decided to let Zhao Mr. Hai came to Pingdu City first, so as to ensure the safety of Mr. Zhao Hai, and they slowly rushed to Pingdu City from behind."

The general manager nodded, then turned to Zhao Hai and said with a fist in his fist: "Zhou Long, the general manager of the internal security of Lord Shangping's Mansion, has met Mr. Zhao Hai. Sir, you have worked hard all the way. Please come with me into the city." Zhao Hai didn't either. Objecting, he clasped his fists at Zhou Long and walked straight to the city under the protection of Zhou Long and others.

After a while they entered the city, and then walked directly towards the lord's mansion. As soon as they arrived at the lord's mansion, Zhou Long immediately arranged a place for Zhao Hai to live, and at the same time sent people to protect Zhao Hai and return Zhao Hai to Zhao Hai. Hai left his two most reliable servants behind and was about to meet the wounded soldiers to understand the situation, but Zhao Hai stopped him and gave Zhou Long the box that Zhou Shiwu had given him.

After Zhou Long took the box, he saluted Zhao Hai and thanked him. Then he saw the wounded soldiers. After learning what happened from the wounded soldiers, he looked very ugly, and then He directly asked to see Zhou Wuji, and soon he arrived outside Zhou Wuji's study. After announcing, he entered Zhou Wuji's study.

Zhou Wuji's study room is very gorgeous. There is a small hall at the entrance, and the real study room is inside. There is a large bookcase in the studyroom. Zhou Wuji is sitting behind the bookcase, but there is no chair in front of the bookcase. It seems that It was very empty, but there were several bookshelves in the room, and they were all filled with books.

Zhou Long arrived in front of the bookcase, clasped his fists and saluted Zhou Wuji: "See your lord, your lord, Mr. Zhao Hai has settled in. This is Zhou Shiwu's letter to your lord. I have checked it, and no one has opened it. Please lord." Take a look." After that, he handed Zhou Shiwu to Zhao Hai, and then passed the box that Zhao Hai handed to him forward.

A person behind Zhou Wuji who had been silent came forward, took the box in his hand, and carefully placed it in front of Zhou Wuji. Zhou Wuji glanced at the box, and then said: "Have you ever asked? What's going on? Why did they suddenly arrive in Pingdu City?"

Zhou Long immediately said: "I have already asked. They were attacked in Jin's City. They were first poisoned and attacked. After seeing that it had no effect, someone actually mobilized an army to attack them, and there were many first-class experts. Attack them, if it weren’t for the help of Mr. Zhao Hai and his mount, I’m afraid they would all be lost in Jin’s City.”

Zhou Wuji glanced at the box while listening. The box actually had a mechanism. As long as Shan touched the mechanism lightly when he got into the box, there would be a place in the box where a mechanism would appear. If he wanted to Opening the box will only destroy the opportunity. It is impossible to open the box without destroying the mechanism. And now the mechanism on the box is intact. In other words, after Zhou Shiwu closed the box last time, it was No one has ever opened it.

Zhou Wuji opened the box and took out a white silk cloth from the box, but the strange thing is that originally the white silk cloth was full of words, but now there is no word on the white silk cloth. , Zhou Wuji did not feel surprised at all, but directly picked up a small bottle from the side of the bookcase, picked up a brush, dipped some water in the bottle, and brushed it on the silk cloth. There was actually something on the silk cloth. The word appeared once.

Zhou Wuji read the words on the silk cloth, but his face became more and more ugly. After a while, he finally said: "Tell me carefully about the attack on them." Zhou Long responded, and immediately said that Zhou Shiwu met Zhao After Hai told them what happened, he also talked about how Zhao Hai was attacked in the town before, and how they escaped from Jin's City.

After Zhou Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but snorted: "Okay, that's great. They are so brave. They can control a city, and they can also mobilize my army to attack the interior of my lord's palace." Wei, okay, okay." Although Zhou Wuji's voice was not loud, Zhou Long could hear it. Zhou Wuji was already furious, otherwise he would not have said this, but what was Zhou Long doing now? He didn't even dare to say that Zhou Wuji was angry now, and he didn't want to get into trouble with this.
