Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 235 The Man Who Follows the Crowd
Xiao Zhuo spoke calmly, but Shen Yuexi was in a hurry.

Ji Zhong is here to kill him, why is he still acting as if nothing happened?
Thinking back carefully, this man was originally like this, the mountain collapsed in front of his eyes and his face remained unchanged.It's just that after learning his true identity, he almost collapsed.

Now he has returned to calm and calm, which means that he has come out of the shadows.

She looked around and saw that there was no iron to use nearby, so she ran to the inn on the other side.There is a kitchen knife in the inn, and it is probably enough to add a pot.

When she ran to the entrance of the Yunsheng Inn, she stopped suddenly.

There were obviously other people's footprints on the ground.

The sky was already bright, and the footprints on the mud were clearly photographed, which ones belonged to her and which ones belonged to Xiao Zhuo, she could recognize them.But there are two sets of footprints, which are completely different from the two.Judging from the size, it is not a woman's foot, and it goes straight to the inside of the inn.

Is it Qianglin?Or those hidden guards who sent Mei Dai?The one who came to hunt them down with Ji Zhong?Bandits wandering here?

There are too many possibilities, Shen Yuexi is a little hesitant.

What is certain now is that there are two men in the inn, but she can't figure out whether they are friends or enemies.Should I go back and look for Xiao Zhuo?She used to rely on Xiao Zhuo all the time.

But Xiao Zhuo is about to fight to the death with his teacher, she can't let him be distracted.

While hesitating, a man's voice sounded in the inn: "Come in, there is no ambush inside."

It was Song Zhen's voice.

Thinking of this person surrendering to Xiao Beiheng, she felt furious, and was about to question him.

She stretched out her hands, pushed open the door of the inn, and then took two steps back.

This is learned from the dark guard.Before she and Mei Dai hid behind the door, when Mei Dai was going to assassinate the guard with a dagger, that guard did just that.Ordinary people would go straight in when they opened the door, but the hidden guard took a step back after opening the door, keeping a safe distance, so that Mei Dai's attack lost its threat.

There was no ambush behind the open door, and there were two people sitting at a table in the lobby of the inn.

One is Qiang Lin, and the other is Song Zhen who is shaking a feather fan.

"Qiang Lin!" Shen Yuexi shouted in surprise, ran two steps in the direction of Qiang Lin, and stopped immediately.

She once thought that Qiang Lin had died in battle, but she didn't expect him to survive.

Qiang Lin leaned on the back of the chair, seemed very weak, when he saw her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.His hands and feet were not bound, but he seemed unable to move.

"Song Zhen, what did you do to him?" She glared at Song Zhen angrily.

"It's just a little medicine." Song Zhen put the fan on the table. "This kind of medicine can make people weak. Xiao Kai also drank it, so His Royal Highness beheaded him."

"Xiao Kai is dead?" Shen Yuexi looked at Qiang Lin, and got the latter's affirmative gaze.

Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Xiao Kai has been abusing her sister all the time, now that this man is dead, her sister can escape from the sea of ​​suffering.It's just that her sister was in Leshan before, and now she doesn't know her sister's whereabouts, so she feels a little worried.

"Why did you surrender to Xiao Beiheng?" She looked at Song Zhen, "Back then you clearly swore allegiance to my husband."

Song Zhen smiled slightly: "Then you should remember what I said when I took the oath. My allegiance is to His Highness the Crown Prince. Now Xiao Zhuo is no longer the Crown Prince. There is nothing wrong with me switching to the real Prince's family."

He deliberately emphasized the word "His Royal Highness", and Shen Yuexi understood it.

Song Zhen is not loyal to Xiao Zhuo, but to the prince.That being said, he really did nothing wrong.

"Now King Qi is attacking the capital. Although Emperor Yongde is stubbornly resisting, when His Royal Highness's army joins King Qi, victory will be within a short time. When King Qi ascends the throne, His Royal Highness, as his only son, is the rightful crown prince. "

Song Zhen picked up his fan while talking: "I was born in a poor and humble family. I have studied hard since I was a child, and I have high aspirations. However, I was repeatedly framed by my colleagues in the officialdom. I finally became the prefect of Yuzhou, but was demoted. Since then Then I realized that no matter how hard I try, I can't fight against the general trend. The only way is to follow the trend and cling to the powerful."

Shen Yuexi said: "Then when you swore the oath..."

"It's sincere." Song Zhen said decisively, "I know what I want. So my loyalty to Prince Qi is also sincere."

"Then you came here to kill us?" Shen Yuexi backed away slowly.

"Mrs. Shen is worrying too much. Although Song is a man, he is almost the same as his wife. He is also a generation with no power to restrain a chicken." Song Zhen got up, "I can't even use a knife, so how can I kill someone?"

Shen Yuexi cautiously kept a distance from him, seeing him walking towards the gate, she couldn't help being a little surprised.Judging by Song Zhen's posture, he was about to go out.

"You..." For a while, she couldn't figure out Song Zhen's intentions.

Since this man didn't come to kill them, what was he doing here?
Song Zhen turned around, put the feather fan behind her back, and said: "Madam Shen, don't be suspicious. Although Song is a fool, he is not without principles. Xiao Zhuo treated me well, and I will pay you back this time. Favor. We will meet on the battlefield in the future, and we will compete again."

Shen Yuexi's heart moved, listening to Song Zhen's tone, it seemed that she knew the result of the duel between Xiao Zhuo and Ji Zhong in advance.

Even Song Zhen, a traitor, has so much confidence in Xiao Zhuo, so why is she worried.

Song Zhen walked to the gate, turned around and said, "There are still some things I won't say. Your loyal guard will naturally tell you that I don't want to be seen by Xiao Zhuo, so I leave."

Watching Song Zhen leave, Shen Yuexi was still not at ease, and followed him far away. Seeing him get on a horse and leave at the entrance of Yusheng Town, she felt relieved and hurried back to the inn.

She came to Qiang Lin and said, "How are you, can you talk?"

With an anxious look on his face, Qiang Lin shook his head weakly, and moved his fingers slightly twice.

Shen Yuexi didn't seem to be in pain when she saw him, but she was weak and unable to move.Anxious probably want to talk.

There is no rush for these things, wait for his reply, she said to Qiang Lin: "You can rest here at ease, wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off, I will go and help your husband get the sword first."

She ran up the stairs with a thud, and ran down again after a while, holding a long sword in her hand, and hurried out the door.

Qiang Linku couldn't speak, couldn't move his hands, and was extremely anxious.

Not only is he good at tracking, but he is even more skilled at anti-tracking.When he was on the road, he noticed the cavalry following from a distance, and deliberately made a few turns to throw those cavalry away.But no matter what you do, it can only be a temporary delay. Now Xiao Beiheng's cavalry may come at any time.He had to tell Shen Yuexi about the great danger.

Shen Yuexi didn't know the danger. She took a long sword and hurried to the square in Yusheng Town.

Xiao Zhuo and Ji Zhong stood there facing each other.

Even she, who doesn't know swordsmanship, can feel the old man's extraordinary aura when she sees Ji Zhong's standing posture.Now she can confirm that Xiao Zhuo's powerful self-confidence that looks down on the world does not come from Emperor Yongde, but from this teacher.

Looking at Xiao Zhuo again, the first feeling is that the invincible Xiao Zhuo is back.

Now Xiao Zhuo only lacks a sword in his hand.

"Husband, the sword is coming." She shouted, raising the cold long sword in her hand.
