Zhong Xue smiled slightly, "I have never been to Jianye City, nor to Jianye Palace, why did I assassinate Wu Hou?"

Zhong Xue's words confirmed Zhang Hong's doubts. He calmed down and sat down and asked with a smile: "Can the girl tell me why Mr. Wu wanted to catch you? He did not hesitate to make the city full of wind and rain."

"Actually, the person Wu Hou was going to capture was not me, but her!"

Zhong Xue pointed to the old woman behind her, and Zhang Hong became even more confused. What did Wu Hou want to catch the old woman? He looked at the old woman carefully again. Although it was the first time we met, she always felt that the old woman's eyes looked familiar. He asked carefully: "This old lady, have I seen you?"

The old woman sighed, stood up and bowed, "Zhang Changshi, do you really don't know me anymore?"

This voice surprised Zhang Hong. He stood up suddenly and stared at the old woman incredibly, "You are you, Qiao."

"Yes, I'm Da Qiao."

Da Qiao smiled miserably, knelt down and cried, "Sun Quan forced me too much, please help Mr. Zhang to save me!"

The reason why Zhong Xue and Da Qiao came to find Zhang Hong was Liang's shopkeeper Liang's intention. Jiang Dongjun offered a reward of 100 taels of gold, which made Liang deeply worried. He was worried that Zhang Shun's servant's wife would report it, or that the surrounding neighbors knew the truth and could not bear the temptation of 100 taels of gold and betray Zhang Shun, and things would be troublesome, so he had to send Zhong Xue and Da Qiao out today.

But the city gate is only allowed to enter but not exit, and it is impossible to leave the city at all. The only loophole is that officials can leave the city. The highest official living in Moling County is the chief secretary Zhang Hong. He is upright and once he knows the truth, he will definitely protect Da Qiao.

At this time, Zhang Hong's mind was in chaos. He could not have dreamed that the old woman in front of him was Da Qiao, and he couldn't understand why Sun Quan wanted to arrest her all over the city. He quickly asked, "Madam, please get up quickly and tell me what happened first?"

Da Qiao held back the grief and told Zhang Hong in detail what happened last night, and implicitly pointed out Sun Quan's plan. Finally, she said sadly: "In order to force me to go to Jianye Palace, Sun Quan sent someone to pretend to be a thief and kill my maid. Seeing that I refused, he wanted to kidnap me by force. Fortunately, Miss Zhong rescued me, otherwise I would die at the hands of Sun Quan."

Zhang Hong was so angry that he trembled all over. He never expected that Sun Quan would do such a despicable thing. He always thought that Sun Quan was a talented man, but he was not lucky. He was repeatedly frustrated when Liu Jing rose up strongly. He was full of sympathy for Sun Quan. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was so indecisive in his private life and even had the idea of ​​Da Qiao, which made Zhang Hong extremely disappointed.

He raised his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that Zhang Hong is such a despicable person. I'm really blind."

Next to him, Zhong Xue hurriedly said: "Although the Jiangdong Army has stopped the search, they have not relaxed their vigilance. If anyone reports it, they will come sooner or later and ask Mr. Zhang to help us out of the city."

Zhang Hong nodded, "Don't worry, I will never stand by and watch."

He asked Da Qiao again, "If I help my wife out of the city, where will the wife be going?"

Da Qiao pondered for a moment, but in fact, she had nowhere to go except Chang'an, so she had to say helplessly: "My father and sister are both in Chang'an, and I also want to go to Chang'an to avoid it for a while."

Zhong Xue was very happy next to her. Unexpectedly, after some twists and turns, Da Qiao finally agreed to go to Chang'an. She could explain to His Highness the King of Han when she returned. Zhong Xue hurriedly said, "We have a big ship to pick us up on the other side of the Yangtze River. As long as we cross the river, we can take a boat to Jingzhou."

Zhang Hong sighed: "Princess Shangxiang is in Chang'an, it's good that she will protect her wife's safety with her here."

Half an hour later, Zhang Hong's wide carriage left the city again. More than twenty horse-riding servants were guarding him. The servants were all wearing black clothes, long swords, shields and arrows on their backs. They were all burly and vigorous. Zhong Xue pretended to be Zhang Hong's servants and made way with four servants in front of them. They could not tell at all. More importantly, except for Da Qiao's maid who was arrested, no one had seen her. The portrait on the arrest notice was far from her.

In the carriage, Zhang Hong and his old wife Li, while Da Qiao changed into clothes and dressed as Li's mute maid, also sat in the carriage. She was more at ease now. Even Zhang Hong couldn't recognize her, so what else was she worried about?

The carriage galloped towards the north gate of the city. At this time, Wang Ning was standing near the Water Gate. The soldiers caught many ships from the river channel in the county. Most of the people living on these ships regarded the boat as their home boatmen. Many people took their wives and daughters. All ships with women were arrested and concentrated near the Water Gate to investigate.

Every woman, no matter young or old, has to wash her face and hands. A tall man will be searched. The women are trembling with fear. Their husbands or fathers stand beside each other and dare not speak out. Fortunately, Wang Ning is monitoring the shore. The soldiers dare not take the opportunity to take advantage of the woman. They only wash their faces and do not search. After searching a boat, they let it go, and the conflicts did not intensify.

At this time, a carriage drove quickly along the avenue to the north gate. Wang Ning recognized the flag on the carriage, which was the carriage of the chief Zhang Hong. He remembered Zhang Hong impeaching him in front of Wu Hou. He felt annoyed and walked quickly towards the city gate.

At the city gate, the soldiers stopped Zhang Hong's carriage and shouted to the first Ding: "It's Zhang Changshi's carriage, please get out of here!"

The city guard general Ling Zhi saw Zhang Hong in front of the car window and waved his hand, "Let it go!"

The soldiers dodged away. Just as the carriage was about to leave, Wang Ning's shout came from behind, "Let's wait!"

Zhang Hong turned around and saw Wang Ning running quickly. He felt something was wrong in his heart. He immediately ordered: "Don't pay attention to him and leave the city!"

Zhong Xue reacted very quickly next to him, urging the horse and several servants who were opening the way to run out of the city gate first. The coachman then whipped a long whip and was about to beat the horse again. A sharp sword had already hit his throat coldly, "If you dare to move again, I will kill you!"

Zhang Hong was furious and shouted: "Wang Ning, what do you mean?"

Wang Ning took out Sun Quan's gold medal from his arms and said coldly: "Catch the assassin by the order of the Marquis of Wu!"

Seeing that Zhong Xue had already left the city first, Zhang Hong let down his heart and said angrily: "What do you mean is, I, Zhang Hong, hiding an assassin?"

"I don't have this intention. Of course, Zhang Changshi can leave the city. However, according to the order of Wu Hou, even if he leaves the city, he will still have to search. Therefore, we must also search the Changshi's convoy, sorry!"

"This is my private vehicle. Even if Wu Hou is here, he dare not search. What is your little lieutenant?"

When Zhang Hong saw the soldiers approaching, he ordered the servants to say, "Who dares to bully me, just kill me, I will bear all the consequences!"

The soldiers were afraid of Zhang Hong's power and did not dare to go forward, but they also stopped the carriage and refused to leave. The city gate suddenly became a stalemate.

Wang Ning was appointed as the captain of the Internal Affairs Army by Sun Quan, and was also the eyeliner for Sun Quan to monitor all officials. Naturally, he had extraordinary talents. He was an extremely smart and capable person, with a talent that never forgets his eyes, and had a very sharp reaction. At this time, Wang Ning saw Zhang Hong's servant standing outside the city waiting. He knew that these people should be the guards who had just rushed out of the city.

However, Zhang Hong suddenly realized something was wrong. There seemed to be four pioneers in front of him. Now there are only three people, one missing. He suddenly became suspicious. Originally, Wang Ning made things difficult for Zhang Hong because Zhang Hong impeached him in front of Wu Hou. He wanted to use this to vent his personal anger, but now he discovered something abnormal.

Wang Ning once again counted Zhang Hong's guards. When he saw the carriage by the river just now, there should be sixteen guards, four in the front, four in the back, four in the left and right. It is very easy to remember, but now there are only fifteen people, and one person is missing. It should have disappeared after leaving the city.

Wang Ning was suspicious. He bent down and looked at the bottom of the car without showing any expression. There was no one under the car. He glanced sharply into the car. He saw three people sitting in the car. He knew the two, Zhang Hong and his wife, and the other was an old woman.

Wang Ning had already guessed that the woman in black and Da Qiao must have put on makeup and would never maintain her original appearance. The woman in black has a tall figure and has a clear outline on her face, which is most suitable for making up a man, while Da Qiao can only put on makeup to another woman. Therefore, when searching the ship, all women have to wash their faces, and all tall men have to search for their bodies. This is why.

His eyes were fixed on the old woman. Usually, the wife would carry a young maid or a young child with her when she went out. She had never seen any noble lady take an old maid out. She could not even take care of herself and could still serve her wife?

Seeing that Wang Ning lowered her head, her hair was gray and she couldn't see her face clearly, but her elegant and charming figure should not be possessed by an old servant lady, and she was quite familiar. Wang Ning couldn't help but sneer. She put on makeup but couldn't wear makeup to the temperament she had formed for a long time. No wonder she couldn't find her. It turned out that she was hiding in Zhang Hong's mansion, and no wonder Zhang Hong wanted to impeach him.

Wang Ning was jealous and suddenly stabbed Wanma with a sword. The sword was fast and fierce. The sword pierced through Wanma's head with one sword. The horse was neighing with a bitter heart. The front hooves jumped high, and then fell heavily. The horse fell down and the carriage lost balance. With a burst of exclamations, the carriage began to overturn. Zhang Hong's guards were shocked and rushed forward together to hold on to the carriage, preventing the carriage from turning over again.

The sudden change shocked all the soldiers present. Ling Zhi reacted and shouted, "Save the Chief Secretary quickly!"

The soldiers rushed forward and straightened the carriage. The servants opened the car door and helped Zhang Hong and his wife out of the car. At this time, a servant was about to support the old servant, but Wang Ning strode forward, pushed the servant away, reached out and handed it to the old servant, narrowed his eyes and said respectfully: "Madam, you have made me find it so hard."
