Chapter 87 Ambush and Kill
Zhang Hongdao walked out of Jinglue Mansion.

Just now, he had met Shi Tianze and Zhao Bi, the two envoys, and Quanzhen Sect Wang Zhijin was also present.

The Quanzhen Sect now has a detached status in the Mongolian Kingdom. The head teacher Li Zhichang was one of the eighteen disciples who went to the Western Regions with Qiu Chuji to meet Genghis Khan, and now he is granted the title of "Master".

Meng Ge has summoned Li Zhichang many times to consult on the art of governing the country and protecting the people.At the same time, after the death of the Jin Dynasty, most of the scholars in the Central Plains were protected by the Quanzhen Sect, saying that "the true and constant Mr. Li, who is transparent and upright, is valuable for a while, and he is perfect!"

Tonight, the temple that Quanzhen Sect built for the founder Wang Chongyang for 23 years was burned down, but it was because of the fugitive Zhang Hongdao was hunting...

There must be an explanation for this matter.

Of course, the Jinglue Mansion wouldn't blame Shihou Zhang's family for Quanzhen Sect, but they had to give Quanzhen Sect an explanation.

Zhang Hongdao became more and more stressed.

At this time, he was standing outside the gate of Jinglue Mansion, only to see Wang Zhijin also coming out.

Zhang Hongdao clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Reverend Qiyun, what happened tonight... I will definitely catch the arsonist."

Of course he knew that the temples that Quanzhen had cultivated for decades were gone, and it was not so simple to explain.

"Lao Wulang, don't worry." Wang Zhijin didn't lose his demeanor in front of him, waved his hand whisk, and said indifferently: "The poor Taoist has to go to the Dajinglue envoy to pay a visit, so don't bother me."

Zhang Hongdao was taken aback for a moment, how could there be any "big scripture envoy"?I know that he is talking about Brother Mang, the Mongolian economic strategy envoy in Henan.

Usually when he talks about Henan Economics, he only mentions Shi Tianze and Zhao Bi, but in fact there is a third and highest ranking one, Brother Busy.It's just that the busy brother ignores government affairs and has a detached position.

This is the existence that Zhang Hongdao fears even more than Dalu Huachi...

"Reverend Qiyun is familiar with the envoy Dajinglue?"

Wang Zhijin said indifferently: "Pindao made some pills to strengthen the body for the Da Jing Lue envoy, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in the fire tonight."

"It's because I couldn't catch Song Ren's meticulous work in time, Master Qiyun..."

Wang Zhijin stopped talking to Zhang Hongdao, waved his sleeves, and led a group of disciples away.

Standing above the class, Zhang Hongdao stared at the back of the immortal, speechless for a long time.

He wanted to lift his feet, but just because he thought of the name "Brother Busy", his feet seemed to be so heavy that he couldn't lift them.

"It can't go on like this, there must be an end tonight." He murmured.

A fire at the Chongyang Temple has stirred up the matter more and more, and it is becoming more and more difficult to cover it up.

Like dark clouds piled up in the sky, the torrential rain is about to fall at any moment.

Zhang Hongdao understood that if the rainstorm came, the first thunderbolt would hit his head...

When the night wind blew, he shuddered suddenly, only to feel that his eyes were dark.

When I opened my eyes again, my vision was blurred, and I could vaguely see the lantern in front of me in a trance, as if in a dream.

"Goro? What's wrong?"

"It's okay... Li Xia will definitely do something tonight, this is our chance to catch him."

Zhang Hongdao shook his drowsy head, and said, "Let's go to Yang Guo's mansion..."

~~
On the way from Jinglue Mansion to Yang Guo's house, Li Xia was lying in ambush, ready to kill Zhang Hongdao.

This is the north of Longting Lake, separated from Zhishi Garden by a lake.

Tonight, there is a big fire in Chongyang; there are Linzi and Liu Jinsuo creating chaos in the city; at the same time, Shen Kai transferred the nearby people to ambush around Yangguo's mansion; Instead, the area became the place where the Zhang family had the fewest soldiers.

But Zhang Hongdao himself is here.

Li Xia's plan is simple...to kill Zhang Hongdao.

Once Zhang Hongdao died, Shen Kai would definitely come, so he took the opportunity to meet Yang Guo.

……

To go to Yang's Mansion, you have to go north from Jinglue Mansion and pass a long street called Wenchang Street.

There is a watchtower on Wenchang Street, in which there are eight potential fire soldiers on duty.

Li Xia was dressed as a Taoist priest, smeared ashes on his face, ran into the watchtower, and ordered the fire divers to go to Chongyang Watch to fight the fire.

Of course Li Xia knew that the city was looking for him, but it was his arrogant and rude attitude that made the submerged fire soldiers completely unaware that the fugitive would dare to rush in and curse people so blatantly.

And watching the fire in Chongyang is really the biggest event in Kaifeng City tonight. For the potential fire soldiers, this is much more important than the search and arrest of fugitives by the princes from Bozhou.

They moved neatly, brought buckets, sprinklers, mochi and other fire-fighting equipment, and went straight to Chongyang Temple under Li Xia's urging.

After that, Li Xia calmly took the ladders, chains, iron anchors and other things in the watchtower, and arranged a passage to escape from the roof.

He had a crossbow and originally had an arrow, but he couldn't pull it out after killing someone before.

Fortunately, Lin Zi cut three crossbow arrows recently.

Li Xia placed the crossbow on the watchtower, fixed it, and shot one first, went downstairs to look at the position where the crossbow was shot, and made a mark with lime.

Encountered a team of patrolmen during the process, Li Xia ran over without waiting for them to approach and shouted: "Hurry up to Chongyang Temple to fight the fire!"

The patrolmen ignored him, but quickened their pace and walked away.

After preparing such details, Li Xia returned to the top of the watchtower, stood in front of the fixed crossbow, and waited quietly for Zhang Hongdao.

Waiting and waiting, he suddenly thought of Zhang Wenjing.

It didn't make her feel soft towards her brother because of this, but she felt a little regretful thinking "Oh, I'm going to kill her brother"... because that girl was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen in her life.

Speaking of which, after being reborn, she has only seen Zhang Wenjing...Gao Mingyue may also be very beautiful, but she has been covering her face all the time, so that people have never seen her real face all the way, which shows that her temperament is too cold.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Wenjing, with a quiet name and a quiet appearance. After getting acquainted with each other, some girls seemed to be chattering. It's a pity...

In short, by thinking about the girl, Li Xia suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and Li Xia was able to calm down more, and fixed his eyes on the other side of the long street.

Finally, Zhang Hongdao came.

He was riding on a horse, surrounded by nine guards, three in front, two on each side and two behind.

"I'm so courageous, I only bring this few people with me." Li Xia thought to himself.

He put his finger on the crossbow, adjusted his breathing, and waited for Zhang Hongdao to walk to the marked position...

~~
Zhang Hongdao squinted his eyes and saw a white line on the ground.

He didn't think too much, Li Xia was still on his mind.

"Success or failure, success or failure... What kind of person is he who can say such words before he is weak? It's ridiculous to say that I have been chasing him for so long, and I haven't seen him yet, but I was really forced by him. Forced to be like this, so tired..."

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the white line again, and Zhang Hongdao suddenly felt a shudder.

There was a chill down his spine, and he felt a terrible feeling. He raised his head and looked towards the watchtower in front of him...

It was such a shocking spirit, as if something had been cut off in his mind, his eyes went dark, and all consciousness disappeared in an instant...

"Goro!"

Zhang Hongdao fell on the bluestone road with a "bang".

The guards exclaimed.

At the same time, a crossbow bolt shot out and killed a guard.

Mutations arose, and blood splattered the long street.

"Uh……"

The guards who lost Zhang Hongdao's command fell into a panic instantly...

"There are assassins!"

"Goro was assassinated!"

"Quick! Go get someone to help!"

"Go...go and protect Goro..."

As soon as the shouts sounded, a black figure jumped from the watchtower along the long ladder to the nearby eaves.

~~
Li Xia kicked the long ladder over with one kick, a slight doubt flashed in his eyes.

I don't know what happened to Zhang Hongdao... Unfortunately, he was only a few steps away from killing him.

In short, it was a missed hit, Li Xia did not stop, and walked northward on the ridge of the roof.

At this time, he was wearing a Taoist robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, walking alone under the moonlight... he felt like the Chunyang swordsman he had seen when watching other people playing games.

"Just ask where is the real king, don't look for the sword fairy in the rivers and lakes."

However, all this is no longer a game for him.

If you step on the ground, you will die without a burial...

He stepped off the ridge of the roof, jumped down, and disappeared into the darkness, waiting.

The night was getting darker, and after a long time, there were horseshoes sounding like rain on the other side of the long street, galloping towards...
