Guo Zhiyuan knew it in his mind, and did not force it. He followed the waiter to the west end, took a casual look at the guest room, and nodded and said, "Just these three rooms..."

As soon as the waiter left, Guo Zhiyuan said to everyone with a serious expression: "There is something strange in this inn. You can stay here first. I'll go find Mr. Zhao. Before I come back, don't touch anything here, including water..." Chu Wan'er curled her lips when she heard this, and was very disdainful of Guo Zhiyuan's look of being a god-like person, but she didn't dare to talk too much.

Guo Zhiyuan still felt a little worried, so he gave Zhang Cheng a few words and then looked around. He didn't find any suspicious person. Then he quietly went out to walk eastward.

When he walked to the second room at the east end, the one that smelled the faint smell before, Guo Zhiyuan took a deep breath. In order to shock the group downstairs, he did not knock on the door, and pushed it gently. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked, Guo Zhiyuan tried a little harder and the door opened.

"Mr. Zhao is really a good attitude. You won't lock the door when this disaster is coming." Guo Zhiyuan thought in his heart. "Bang", and the sound of something breaking came. A teacup fell from the crack of the door above his head and fell to the ground. Guo Zhiyuan looked up and saw an old man dressed in sloppy and bearded, holding a musket and trembling hands at him. It was Zhao Shizhen!

Guo Zhiyuan was choking when facing this familiar scene. Zhao Shizhen also recognized Guo Zhiyuan. When the old friends met, they were both surprised and happy. Before Guo Zhiyuan could speak, Zhao Shizhen hurriedly pulled him into the house and closed the door, looking a little panicked.

"Mr. Guo is quiet, let's talk..." Zhao Shizhen took Guo Zhiyuan to a window seat and asked in a low voice: "Why is Mr. Guo here?..."

"It's a long story. Of course, I have to thank Mr. Zhao first. If you hadn't helped me and the prince to come out to justice, I found out my cheap father. No, my father's grievances, I was also specially appointed as the imperial court official by the emperor and served as the magistrate of Gutian County, Fujian. I happened to meet your follower Zhao Dong on the way, and he told me all the situation..." Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly.

"Ah? The young master knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but why did he lean towards Tiger Mountain?" Zhao Shizhen said a little moved.

"Sir, don't worry, we are a large number of people, and they dare not act rashly! But what's going on with sir? Who is going to chase you?" Guo Zhiyuan also put away his smile and whispered with a serious expression.

Zhao Shizhen sighed and said, "After the evil book case is settled, I always feel that there are traces of the man in black who was injured last time at home. I monitored my every move. I was worried all day long and knew it was dangerous, so I ordered my servants to pack their luggage, resign and return to their hometown to retire, but who would have thought that they would still refuse to let me go!..."

"Along the way, I always feel that I am followed by a group of people. Fortunately, I am alert and never dare to stay for a moment in the sparsely populated areas. This is not right here. I originally wanted to go to Nanjing to rest. Who would have thought that the people behind me will be closer and closer? In desperation, I could only hurry to join this inn..."

"As soon as I entered the door, the group of people followed me, and there were about ten people. Now there were their people guarding the front door of the inn. I wanted to use this place to escape, but now even the shopkeepers and waiters here couldn't take a step forward. If I hadn't been worried about me having firearms to defend myself, they would have taken action. I was in danger this time. The firearm could hurt them at most. They would definitely take action at night. I would not be willing to die. I have already prepared to die with them. I never thought that Mr. Guo was here again. It was me who had implicated you. I was ashamed!" As he said that, Zhao Shizhen was going to kneel down to apologize.

Guo Zhiyuan immediately helped Zhao Shizhen up, "How can you afford it? I think this group of evil people are not like ordinary bandits who seek money and kill them. They are like being sent by someone to come for the gentleman. Can you tell me who sent this group of people and why are you chasing you?..."

Zhao Shizhen hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a complicated expression and said, "I don't know who sent this group of evil men..." After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Mr. Guo, this group of evil men came for my life. If you are here, you will definitely be implicated. Master Gao Yi, I am grateful. This group of evil men killed people without blinking. If you have a chance, Mr. Guo should take advantage of the situation!..."

Guo Zhiyuan had a long time guessing, but he didn't point it out. He smiled calmly and said, "Sir, don't be anxious. There are quite a few followers who come with me, and there are a few trainees in it, but I may not be afraid of them. I have a way to save Mr. from danger..."

Seeing Guo Zhiyuan's confident look, Zhao Shizhen calmed down and sat down, and smiled bitterly with some guilt: "Young master saved me several times, but I can't repay you. I'm so ashamed..."

Guo Zhiyuan knew that the opportunity to recruit Zhao Shizhen was coming. At this time, just break Zhao Shizhen's last fantasy and could conquer him. He smiled and said, "Sir, since you have reached this point, let's open the skylight and speak loudly. I think it's not that he couldn't think of who sent these people, but that he couldn't accept this reality. The Zhejiang Party and the Fuwang Party did not know that the case of the Demon Book is in contact with you at all. Even if they know the clues, they may try every means to arrest you and threaten the prince, and they will not kill you. Since it is the fact that the Demon Book case is settled, you will start to be uneasy after the Demon Book case is settled. Of course, it is someone who knows that this case is really like, and they are afraid that you will leak the secrets and be unfavorable to him, so they will attack you. And I don't need to say this person, I think Mr. knows it in his heart..."

Zhao Shizhen was speechless. Guo Zhiyuan knew that a noble and loyal person like Zhao Shizhen would find it difficult to believe that those who had always been loyal would have to kill the donkey, for fear of the truth being revealed and killed him. After all, the image of the prince has always been approachable in his eyes, a person who is respectful to the wise and noble, and values ​​affection and righteousness, which has confused him for so long.

Guo Zhiyuan remembered that when he and Zhao Shizhen mentioned this matter last time when he injured the man in black, Zhao Shizhen was still furious and refused to believe it. Now that the old thing is mentioned again, Zhao Shizhen's reaction is silent. I think he also accepted this indisputable fact psychologically. Indeed, no matter how loyal he is to the prince, he was chased by the prince, and at this time he was repeatedly chased by the people sent by the prince. In fact, he had already accepted this fact rationally, but it was still a bit unacceptable emotionally.

At this time, as long as Guo Zhiyuan adds another fire, he will have a great chance of recruiting Zhao Shizhen. Thinking of being able to recruit this famous firearms expert, plus Xu Guangqi, a rare genius, why worry about not being able to achieve great achievements? Guo Zhiyuan's heart suddenly became hot!

Just as Guo Zhiyuan was about to strike while the iron was hot, a knock on the door came from outside the door...
