Chapter 340
"Yes." Lu Jingrong nodded: "Come here, this is an assassin. It doesn't matter if you prick it deeply or shallowly, right? Besides, those acupuncture points are life-threatening. It's just a matter of whether you wake up. If you don't wake up, prick a few more times. , it’s time to practice.”

Xie Zhaozhao remained silent.

This man still remembered to teach her medical skills at this time.

But he was right.

Xie Zhaozhao took the needle bag from him and squatted down, inserting the woman's acupoints in the order Lu Jingrong said.

The woman frowned, but she didn't wake up.

Lu Jingrong said: "Deeper."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and inserted the needles deeper. Sure enough, the woman made a painful and suppressed sound and slowly opened her eyes.

She frowned and glanced at Xie Zhaozhao and Lu Jingrong, then looked down at the needle on her body, gritted her teeth and said, "You quack doctor, the needle is stuck crookedly."

Xie Zhaozhao: "..."

Hongxia and Hongxiu were also speechless for a moment.

Lu Jingrong came over to check, frowned and said, "It's a little crooked, but it's useful. She's awake."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and asked keenly: "Do you know medical skills?"

The woman lowered her head and closed her eyes, breathing slowly, as if she was resting her mind.

Xie Zhaozhao was not in a hurry.

After waiting for a moment, the woman calmed down for a while and asked instead of answering: "Is your surname Xie?"

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and looked at the woman carefully without speaking.

The woman asked again: "Are you the young lady from Duke Liang's Xie Wei family?"

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "Do you know her?"

"More than knowing..." The woman lowered her eyes weakly, "I, I have seen your portrait. There is a purse around my waist. Please open it and take a look."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes fell on her waist. There was indeed a bulge, so he reached over.

Hongxia said coldly: "Miss, be careful she is cheating."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao responded and carefully opened the bulge, and there was indeed a purse inside.

Xie Zhaozhao only glanced at it and then his expression suddenly changed, "Where did you get this thing? Tell me!"

"The owner of this purse gave it to me." The woman said weakly, "Whether you believe it or not... there is something in it."

Xie Zhaozhao opened it immediately.

In the purse is a blood jade ring, which is also an object that Xie Zhaozhao is familiar with - it was a crowning gift that she gave to four Xie Changheng.

Xie Changheng also teased her, not giving her a crown and hairpin when she was crowned, but giving her a ring instead.

But in fact, this ring was carved by Xie Zhaozhao himself. The quality of the jade is excellent, but the carving skills are extremely poor. This thing cannot be faked.

"Do you know my fourth brother?" Xie Zhaozhao immediately asked: "Where is he?"

"I, I don't know where he is...he gave this to me before..." the woman's voice became weaker and weaker: "I came here specifically to find you...to find you..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman fainted.

Xie Zhaozhao wanted to ask more questions but couldn't, so he had to let Hongxiu and Hongxia carry the person in.

Lu Jingrong comforted her: "Don't worry, she has no injuries and she will wake up after being drugged."

The injection of medicine and acupuncture just now was intended to temporarily wake her up and ask her questions.Xie Zhaozhao nodded, looking at the purse and jade ring in his hand with a very solemn expression.

She believed the woman [-]% in her heart.

I don’t know what the relationship between the fourth brother and this woman is... She said she didn’t know where the fourth brother was. Could something have happened to the fourth brother...

Then, does fourth brother have anything to do with the situation in Qizhou City?

……

The woman was in a coma all day.

Xie Zhaozhao also thought about it all day long. He should have had a good rest but couldn't sleep.

Lu Hanqiu spent a whole day prying open the mouths of several people, but these people were obviously just minions who only followed orders, but they had no idea who they were above.

"Are you sure you really don't know?" Xie Zhaozhao was dubious.

Lu Hanqiu nodded: "It's roughly true... They have basically never seen each other's faces. They only train every day. They are emotionless killing machines. When they receive orders, they just put notes at the place where they live."

"A team of 20 of them shared a room. After receiving the order, they left in groups to do business... It sounds like the place where they live is underground, hundreds of miles away, and people have to be sent to investigate."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Training such a group of people requires money, space, and manpower."

"Think about the time when King Zhou was training dead soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing. The underworld building has been supported by official bribes and money from the dark clouds over the years. Now I don't know what support these people are relying on."

"I don't know...it will become clear if we follow the clues."

This is finally a small amount of progress.

Xie Zhaozhao went to see the woman once. She was still sleeping, so Xie Zhaozhao went to the courtyard to check the iron clothes on the weird man.

This iron suit looks like armor but not armor. There are many welded places on the whole body, which are obviously welded on.

Thinking about how a normal person would live if he were welded into such an iron suit, just the process of being welded to death would be enough to make people despair.

She carefully groped for the welding gaps in the iron clothing and the locations of other connections, thinking about how to remove the iron clothing.

After sending the female assassin in, Xie Zhaozhao asked Lu Jingrong how to remove the iron suit, but Lu Jingrong shook his head blankly, saying that he had never encountered such a situation.

Xie Zhaozhao also had some difficulties.

Yesterday, Lu Hanqiu was sawing with a small saw.

This method is not impossible. The saw still left marks on the iron armor, but it takes a lot of time. I don’t know how long it will take to completely break the iron armor...

Do you have that much time for them?
There was a continuous sound of horse hooves kicking in his ears.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and slowly looked towards the door of the post house.

After a moment, a guard ran in with an ugly expression, "Oh no, girl, a group of officers and soldiers came outside and surrounded the post house!"

"Do you know where the officers and soldiers are?"

"They say they are from the Qizhou Camp." The officer reported: "I took the Qizhou Sima's warrant and came to ask for the weird man in iron clothes. He asked us to hand him over immediately, otherwise we will rush in and rob him!"

Hong Xiu's expression changed, "Are they so arrogant?"

"Look at this weirdo." Xie Zhaozhao stood up and carefully tucked the soft whip behind his waist, "I'll go out and take a look."

"Okay -" Hongxiu nodded and said, "Miss, be careful."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Yeah" and strode away.

When they arrived at the door of the post house, they saw a group of soldiers riding tall horses and wearing helmets stopping in front of the door.

The leader was a middle-aged general in his 40s. He held the reins of his horse and looked down at Xie Zhaozhao. He said angrily: "Why is a yellow-haired girl showing up? Hand him over quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xie Zhaozhao's expression remained unchanged: "Who are you?"
