Chapter 485 Shouldn't you return something you've stolen?
Zhong Yuntang wore soft silk armor and no helmet.
His hair is not Donghao's traditional men's hairstyle, but like the Bei'an scholar, it is pulled into a bun and tied up with a hosta. In addition to his elegant and unrestrained temperament, he is also about the same height as the Bei'an people. What do you think?
He doesn't look like a Donghao noble, but more like a Beian Confucian general.
Many city guards looked confused and conflicted when they saw Zhong Yuntang.
"Who is this?"
"Why did someone from Bei'an sneak in?"
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
"That's Mr. Yun Tang from the Zhong family. You must not be rude."
Even though they were reprimanded by the officers, there was still a faint hostility in the eyes of the city guards.
After all, the Donghao nobles have been preaching that Beian people are mean and stupid these years, but now, Mr. Yun Tang of the Zhong family is completely dressed as a Beian person, and it is difficult for them to turn around at once.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Gu Zhao's mouth, which was also an entry point that could be used.
Zhong Yuntang has been stealing various information in Bei'an all year round, inspecting Bei'an's terrain, mountains, rivers, people and customs. But in the process, wouldn't he be infiltrated by Bei'an's culture?
Just like what Zhong Yuntang asked Qin Xinglie just now, it is obvious that he has the thinking characteristics of Bei'an people.
In a place like Donghao, any man from the enemy's family who can afford a crossbow can be killed without hesitation.
At Zhong Yunhai's age, he is already able to meet this standard.
Otherwise, why would Yuncong Jiyu send someone to assassinate Zhong Yunhai?
Facing Zhong Yuntang's questioning, Qin Xinglie remained unmoved at all. He just took out the medicine bottle Wang Hengyi gave him, pulled out the cork, pinched Zhong Yunhai's mouth open, and poured the powder in the bottle into
.
Zhong Yunhai tried to struggle, but to no avail.
In Qin Xinglie's hands, Zhong Yunhai, who was usually fierce and arrogant, was like a fragile little chicken, fluttering in vain, but even more powerless.
"Qin Xinglie! What are you doing!" Zhong Yuntang became anxious. With a wave of his hand, the archers who came in a hurry pointed the tips of their arrows at Qin Xinglie.
Zhong Kewei has made it clear to Zhong Yuntang about the importance of Zhong Yunhai to the Zhong family.
Without Zhong Yunhai, the Zhong family would have no future.
Qin Xinglie didn't care about these gleaming arrows at all. He still took off the water bag from his waist without haste, pinched Zhong Yunhai's mouth, and poured the water in.
Then he pinched Zhong Yunhai's mouth, forcing Zhong Yunhai to swallow the bitter medicinal powder and water in his mouth.
Zhong Yunhai could no longer hold on, huddled up and fell on the roof.
Zhong Yuntang is in a dilemma.
Zhong Yunhai was in Qin Xinglie's hands, and he had personally experienced how terrifying Qin Xinglie's martial arts was.
Even if thousands of arrows were fired now, Zhong Yunhai would definitely die before Qin Xinglie.
Gu Zhao rolled his eyes, quietly bypassed the surrounding city guards, and found a corner behind Qin Xinglie.
Gu Zhao made a silent gesture to the little leader of the city guard. He grabbed the tree next to the house with one hand and climbed up quickly.
When he climbed to the same height as the roof, Gu Zhao twisted his waist and jumped onto the roof, appearing behind Qin Xinglie.
Almost everyone in Donghao saw Gu Zhao suddenly appearing, and Zhong Yuntang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Someone introduced Gu Zhao's identity in a low voice in Zhong Yuntang's ear. Zhong Yuntang's expression quickly calmed down and he loudly said to Qin Xinglie, "His Royal Highness, you can say whatever you want, as long as you let Yunhai go."
"Yun Hai is just a child, and he has just been injured and can't even stand up. You are a prince and have peerless martial arts skills, why should you have trouble with a child?"
Qin Xinglie sneered and said in a hoarse voice, "Can't get through? If you robbed someone else's things, shouldn't you return them?"
Zhong Yuntang's tone paused, and he understood what Qin Xinglie meant - Qin Xinglie actually wanted to strip away the effects of Zhong Yunhai's use of the Wang family's body-building prescription!
He had heard in Bei'an before that Qin Xinglie and Wang Tiexin had a very good relationship.
It is said that Qin Xinglie was caught in a war when he was young. He fled from the palace at the age of five or six and narrowly escaped death several times.
Later, he lived in northern Xinjiang and joined the death-seeking army. It is said that it was at that time that he met Wang Tiexin and learned a lot from Wang Tiexin.
Now it seems that this legend is true.
Qin Xinglie came here alone, which obviously means that this is just a private action, just for his personal relationship with the Wang family.
Seeing Gu Zhao approaching Qin Xinglie on tiptoe, Zhong Yuntang swallowed and took two steps forward, shortening the distance to attract Qin Xinglie's attention and cover for Gu Zhao.
"Your Highness Prince Li, Yun Hai was just injured. If you have anything, just tell me and I will definitely meet your request." Zhong Yuntang raised his hand, "Or, let me replace him."
"Don't worry, I am the leader of the Zhong family now, and my value is much greater than Yunhai."
Qin Xinglie's eyes behind the mask showed sarcasm. Before he could speak, he heard a strong wind coming from behind him.
He suddenly dodged and saw Gu Zhao holding a knife in one hand. The knife was sharp and slashed towards his arm.
Zhong Yuntang looked up nervously, and saw Qin Xinglie move away, and Gu Zhao had already stepped forward, blocking Zhong Yunhai with one step.
"Arrow! Shoot! Cover!"
The officer next to him issued an order in a sharp voice, and a dense barrage of arrows immediately flew towards Qin Xinglie.
Qin Xinglie had to avoid these bows and arrows.
Gu Zhao had already seized the opportunity, dropped the knife, lifted Zhong Yunhai with one hand, and jumped off the roof quickly.
