Chapter 133
Most of the imperial guards were stationed on the city wall by Xiong Zhenghao, and there was only a temporary shelter next to it to keep out the wind and rain for other use.Tan Zhen didn't have many people under his command, so he was inconspicuous in the imperial army.

When Li Xunchuan came to the city wall, the forbidden army was all surprised. He had guessed what Li Chengru meant, so he had to ignore the forbidden army when he did things. At least he followed him for four or five years. , but can't let them follow him into danger.

After explaining some things, he came to the edge of the city wall to look for Zhuo Ran.

"Have you ordered everything?" Zhuo Ran didn't turn his head when he heard his footsteps. He just looked at the distant scenery and asked softly.

Li Xunchuan stood there side by side with her, and the autumn scenery here will never be comparable to that of Yongzhou.Zhuo Ran's thoughts had long drifted to the hometown of the year, Li Xunchuan responded, and wanted to ask her about Fan Siqiu again, but he didn't speak for a long time.

He actually had such a guess.

Zhuo Ran also knew.

"Fan Siqiu." Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said, "In the poem left by Master, there are Fan Siqiu, Yongzhou, and Nanxiang. He must have wanted to tell me that it was Fan Siqiu who brought the princess Out of the palace and sent to Yongzhou, and this princess is named Nanxiang."

Li Xunchuan didn't speak.

Zhuo Ran read these two words, and then said: "Even Li Chengru doesn't know about this matter, and he has been looking for someone, someone who can replace Nan Xiang."

"Xiaqiu..." Li Yanchuan took her hand that was hidden under the long sleeve, and said softly, "I don't care what your master wants you to do, whether it's protecting Nanxiang or replacing Nanxiang, you must not leave me around."

Zhuo Ran turned his head to look at Li Yuchuan, and said: "Master treats me as Nanxiang and takes back the throne because he thinks I'm alone and free of any worries. He doesn't know you exist in my heart, but I know it very well. "

"Master's kindness to me can only be reciprocated by fulfilling his long-cherished wish. He is the Taifu and has taught the Crown Prince Nan Xi. I will find Nan Xiang and return the throne to her in a dignified manner..."

"But Your Majesty..." Li Yanchuan frowned.

"Chi Yue..." Zhuo Ran said: "Your Majesty treats you well and badly, and rewards and punishes me. I am as clear as a mirror. If Dayu is prosperous and powerful in his hands, I don't have to do so. But now the most The important thing is to find Li Chengru and resolve the previous matter."

Li Xunchuan lowered his eyes.

"Wouldn't this make it difficult for you?" Zhuo Ran touched his knuckles, bit the corner of his lips, and said, "You are a champion, and you have to keep such a big secret to yourself. Calculating, watching the territory I guarded being occupied by others..."

When Zhuo Ran said this, she couldn't help but chuckled: "...but it's very uncomfortable."

It's not that Li Xunchuan didn't think about it.Chu Shiyu and him are good brothers, but this kind of good brother is placed in the past. Since he became the champion, he has become farther and farther away from Chu Shiyu.But he is still from Dayu in essence, and he still has feelings for this place.But it doesn't matter if Zhuo Ran follows everything.

She is Zhuo Ting's daughter, someone whom Chu Shiyu was afraid of from the very beginning. Even if she was spared later, the purpose was to attract Han Congzhong. At first, it was to make Han Congzhong return to Dayu, and later, to kill Han Congzhong. Later, Zhuo Ran was released for unknown reasons.

The distance between him and Chu Shiyu is not the distance, but the thoughts and state of mind.He could no longer understand what the people on the throne were thinking, and he didn't dare to be as unrestrained and indifferent as before. Everything now seemed to be acting, but none of them wanted to expose it.

So uncomfortable?Naturally uncomfortable, but also very sad.

He was not so sentimental at first, but after meeting Zhuo Ran, he learned a lot of things, and began to feel sorry for the worldly affairs, and often he didn't bother to say it out loud.

Fortunately, the two of them are in the same heart.Li Xunchuan's palm slid along Zhuo Ran's arm to her shoulder, and with a little effort, he hugged her in his arms.

These days, they fell in love with hugs, and they seemed to be able to find the courage and commitment that each other gave to themselves in each other's warmth, so that all things were not important to them, and all difficulties could be solved.

Zhuo Ran listened to Li Xunchuan's heartbeat, and grabbed the clothes on Li Xunchuan's back with her fingers. She felt a little calm and indifferent after a long time, and the depression in her heart was dispelled a little. Things, you take me to a place where no one knows us, just like you said."

Li Xunchuan nodded, and he pulled Zhuo Ran into his arms. He knew that Zhuo Ran should not be bound by these things, but he had to be grateful for this kind of bondage. Without these, he would not have met Zhuo Ran, nor To this person who makes me worry all the time.

"At that time, we will go wherever you want." Li Yanchuan's voice came from above lightly, but it fell in Zhuo Ran's heart, but it was heavy. She liked this promise, because Li Yanchuan kept his promise and would never lie she.

***
At night, Li Yanchuan stared at Zhuo Ran and drank the medicine.

"Xiaqiu..." Li Xunchuan called her, Zhuo Ran frowned in pain, when she heard Li Xunchuan calling, she raised her head, saw that Li Xunchuan was holding a soft armor, she tilted her head, "Huh?"

Li Xunchuan stretched out his arms to fish her out of the chair, and said, "Put this on."

Zhuo Ran knew that Li Yanchuan was worried about her, so she didn't refuse, and went to change into the screen by herself.When he came out, Li Yuchuan leaned on the rattan chair, covered his eyes with his arms and rested with his head up, his long legs stretched out and lay there, Zhuo Ran sighed slightly, looked around but couldn't find anything that could cover his body, turned his head but A rustling sound was heard.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuchuan didn't fall asleep, but squinted his eyes for a while, saw Zhuo Ran lift the curtain and stretched his head to look out, so he called out.

Zhuo Ran put down the curtain, looked back at Li Yuchuan: "I feel something is wrong."

Li Xunchuan immediately got up and walked in front of her, and sure enough, he heard the sound of iron chains colliding outside.Li Xunchuan had ordered that no matter what the sound was, the forbidden army would stand still and wait for him to issue an order before moving.

"Is there anyone outside the city?" Zhuo Ran frowned slightly upon hearing the voice, and said in a low voice, "There are quite a few rats around Li Chengru..."

Li Xunchuan looked at Gu Songyin on the wooden table, and said softly, "Don't use force easily, just follow me with Gu Songyin."

Zhuo Ran touched his earlobe with her fingers, and tiptoed to kiss his lips.Li Xunchuan has never been so relaxed or tense, but with Zhuo Ran by his side, he is not afraid of anything, even if there are many crises outside.

Li Xunchuan looked at Zhuo Ran and smiled, and took out a small whistle from his waist without changing his face. The sound became soft and tight, and they were getting closer and closer. Li Xunchuan waited for a while, and then blew the whistle.

The forbidden army who had been waiting for a long time rushed out from all sides of the city wall, just in time to meet Li Chengru's men.

Before the evil came out of its sheath, the people of Li Yanchuan had already arrived in front of them.The sound of the sword was suppressed when it was about to be sent out. Climbing the city wall was undoubtedly the best strategy, but for Li Yuchuan, this was their dead end.

He has always disliked beating around the bush, and he likes to fight head-on on the battlefield. Only in this way can he see the opponent's disastrous defeat with his own eyes.He is not calm and prudent, he is preoccupied, nor is he gentle and kind, but he will retaliate.

"Xiaqiu," Li Yanchuan didn't want to fight with them, stretched out his arm to grab Zhuo Ran's arm, and pulled him into his arms: "Follow me!"

These people are just for fun, and the person he is looking for is Li Chengru.

Li Xunchuan dragged Zhuo Ran down the steps on the edge of the city wall. He expected that Li Cheng was waiting for him at the gate of the city, hiding behind a fight, smiling.

Although Liu Yulin and Jiang Rulan didn't know martial arts, they were still held by Xiong Zhenghao with the sword in their hands. At this time, they were fighting with Xiong Zhenghao, and their faces were covered with splashed blood.

"This...why are there so many bandits in Los Angeles?" Jiang Rulan hid behind Xiong Zhenghao to avoid a sword attack, and helped Liu Yulin cut down another person.

Xiong Zhenghao snorted softly, and said, "We underestimated the enemy. That guy is so cunning and cunning, there must be a lot of Xiao Xiaoxiao willing to follow! Finish here first, and help the governor take down Li Chengru!"

Li Chengru was surrounded by a circle of people, Li Yanchuan still didn't pull out the evil, but raised his arm to block the blow, and said sharply: "If you dare to hold the prince hostage, I don't think your life will last long!"

Li Chengru shook his sleeves, taking his time and enjoying the scene of these people fighting.It seemed that it took him a long time to realize that Li Yuchuan was talking to him, he smiled and said, "Don't be so impatient, governor, my purpose is not just for you, look at the person next to you, is Zhuo Siye, right?" ?”

Zhuo Ran squeezed the hilt of Gu Songyin's sword tightly, Li Chengru frowned, and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, I don't owe you anything. Han Congzhong asked for a glass of poisoned wine to end his life, Zhuo Siye didn't want it." Such bitterness and hatred."

"It wasn't you who got in the way, my master wouldn't die at all!" Zhuo Ran raised his arm and wiped a man's neck, and swung the sword away, preventing the blood from dripping on his lapel.

Li Chengru snorted softly and said, "If he hadn't deliberately concealed the matter of the former princess, how could he have died so uselessly?"

"Princess of the former dynasty?" Zhuo Ran looked at him and smiled contemptuously: "Are you still dreaming of your spring and autumn dream? When is it that you are so naive and ridiculous?"

Li Xunchuan grabbed Zhuo Ran's waist and swept down the person beside him who wanted to get close, and supported him firmly.

Li Chengru couldn't help laughing loudly, and said: "You are still kept in the dark? Zhuo Siye, I'm afraid you still don't know what your master is hiding from you?"

Zhuo Ranquan pretended not to hear it, but just broke free from Li Xunchuan's embrace and rushed towards Li Chengru.

"Xiaqiu!" Li Yanchuan frowned, he was afraid that Zhuo Ran would think of Han Congzhong when he saw Li Chengru, but before he had time to tell her, they had already started.

Li Chengru didn't move, just watched Zhuo Ran come towards him step by step.

"It's none of your business what my master is hiding from me!" Zhuo Ran is good at kung fu, what Zhou Yu taught her is light and effortless, and now it works just fine, Li Chengru shook his head helplessly.

"I thought you would be very obedient." Li Chengru sighed and said, "Then don't blame me for being merciless. If you want to accompany your master, that's not impossible."

"Godfather!" Yuan Lu suddenly rushed out from behind and said, "Go over there!"

As soon as Li Chengru moved away, the gunpowder thrown from outside the city gate exploded immediately.Li Xunchuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly stepped forward and pressed Zhuo Ran on his shoulders, rolling him aside.

The sudden explosion shocked everyone, and before they could react, they heard a more terrifying sound.Xiong Zhenghao was very familiar with the feeling of gunpowder exploding, but he didn't expect that there were obviously Los Angeles bandits in this city, and they were their own people.

But when I think about how heartless they are all, I don't think it's surprising.

Li Xunchuan stretched out his hands to cover Zhuo Ran's ears, and pulled Zhuo Ran to hide aside during the interval between gunpowder.Zhuo Ran lowered her head, and did not forget to stare at Li Chengru's movements. The city gate shook slightly, Li Xunchuan frowned, and shouted sharply: "Go to the city gate!"

Li Xunchuan could imagine the posture outside the city gate. If Li Cheng was really not to be underestimated, there would be so many bandits in Luocheng.

Zhuo Ran anxiously looked at Li Yanchuan: "Chi Yue, Li Chengru!"

"Kill him!" Li Xunchuan stretched out his arms to support Zhuo Ran, and the two ran out through the panicked crowd hand in hand. Xiong Zheng didn't know what they were going to do, so he, Liu Yulin, Jiang Rulan and the others helped Li Xunchuan Zhuo Ran clear the way.

Li Chengru was already on the horseback at this time, he stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Lu, and followed a group of people around Li Yanchuan and the others to the city gate. He leaned down and pressed Li Chengru's back, evilly deflected and missed, Li Yuchuan stepped on a person's shoulder and flew after him.

Zhuo Ran's lightness kung fu is not very good, he just took the medicine and now he can't cheer up, so he can only run to catch up.Everywhere Gu Songyin went was injured or disabled, Zhuo Ran used his strength to reach the gate of the city.

The imperial army blocked the city gate desperately, but they couldn't stop the attack from outside. Li Yanchuan felt something was wrong, so he had to pull out the evil that was stuck in the mud with one hand, and slashed at Li Chengru.

"Bang!"

Just as Li Xunchuan raised his blade, he saw the city gate burst open, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he had to do his best to kill the people guarding Li Chengru.

"Chi Yue!" Zhuo Ran took out a rope from nowhere, threw it away and strangled Li Chengru. Yuan Lu was also shrewd at the moment, and pulled out his dagger to cut off the rope before Zhuo Ran had any strength, but was rushed to the ground. Can't sit still.

Li Xunchuan took the opportunity to swing up the knife, but Li Chengru hooked his lips, leaned back slightly and took Yuan Lu to lie on the horse's back, but shot a few silver needles from his sleeve, all of them pierced Li Xunchuan's shoulder.

Li Xunchuan ignored the slight sting, but was hit by the evil gravity after swung in the air, and he staggered a little when he fell to the ground.Zhuo Ran brushed past Li Xunchuan, Gu Songyin had a long sword, she was grabbed by Li Xunchuan's wrist, stepped on his knee and sent the blade out.

Yuan Lu dodged in no hurry, the sword almost broke his arm, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, originally she stabbed towards the heart, but unexpectedly missed it.

Li Xunchuan hugged her and landed firmly.

Someone outside the city gate responded, seeing that Li Chengru was about to leave Luo City completely, Zhuo Ran called out to Li Xunchuan to catch up again, but when he turned around, he saw Li Xunchuan bent slightly, clutching his left shoulder and was speechless for a while.

Zhuo Ran supported Li Yanchuan's arm, and said anxiously: "Chi Yue, what's wrong?"

Li Xunchuan shook his head, raised his head while holding Zhuo Ran's wrist, and said, "Chase!"

"No." Zhuo Ran seldom saw Li Yanchuan like this, she felt that Li Chengru was a little too calm just now, as if he deliberately drew Li Yanchuan's hand, he must have done something.

"Chi Yue..." Zhuo Ran pulled Li Yanchuan to the side, there was a chance to kill Li Chengru, and before Xiong Zheng could react, he saw that Li Chengru had already left the city gate.

At this moment, the people at the gate of the city were all from Li Chengru's side. He originally wanted to follow and kill them, but when he caught sight of Zhuo Ran pulling Li Yuchuan back, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The city gate was slammed shut again, Xiong Zhenghao turned his head and said loudly: "Run to the city, don't stay here!"

It was said that Liu Yulin supported Jiang Rulan and ran first. Tan Zhen and Wu Song didn't come out to help, they just guarded a safe alleyway. When they saw Liu Yulin and Jiang Rulan running back, they knew something was wrong.

"Governor!" Xiong Zhenghao ran to Li Xunchuan's side, he expected rightly, the gunpowder like just now came directly at them, Xiong Zhenghao lowered his body to support Li Xunchuan.

"Be careful!" Li Yanchuan glanced back, stretched out his hand and pushed Xiong Zhenghao away forcefully, hugged Zhuo Ran with all his strength and rolled to the side.When have you been in such a mess?Li Xunchuan protected Zhuo Ran's back with his arms, and when he brushed against the burning ruins, he could only use his strength to get out quickly.

Zhuo Ran buried her head in Li Yanchuan's arms, and could only call out to Chi Yue in a muffled voice.

Li Xunchuan responded to him in a low voice, Zhuo Ran got up from his arms, and when he helped Li Xunchuan up, another wave of gunpowder fell not far from them, and Li Xunchuan stood in front of her, panting heavily.

If this was in Beili, he wouldn't...

"Governor, here!" Xiong Zhenghao called them urgently, but what he heard was not the response from Li Yanchuan or Zhuo Ran, but the Luocheng bandits who had been ambushing in the city for a long time.

Li Xunchuan frowned, Zhuo Ran tightened her grip on Gu Songyin, she knew it was not that simple.Li Xunchuan stretched out his arms to hold Zhuo Ran: "Xiaqiu, come behind me."

"I'm fine." Zhuo Ran reached out to hold his hand, and said with a smile, "It will be over soon."

Li Xunchuan couldn't get enough strength, Zhuo Ran let go of his hand and ran towards Xiong Zhenghao, he could only support the evil for a while, seeing Zhuo Ran's desperate way of fighting with the sword, he could only Secretly squeezed a sweat.

Zhuo Ran hacked down with the Yin of the ancient pine, it is not realistic to use a light method.Suddenly a sword stabbed from the side, following Gu Songyin's direction to help her deal with a bandit.

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly.

Zhuo Ran looked up and saw that person, and wanted to cross the sword, but was stopped by that person.This is the rescuer?Zhuo Ran withdrew back to Gusong Yin, watching the people brought by that man help the imperial army to deal with the bandits in Luo City.

She raised her eyes to look at the unusually familiar person: "Who the hell are you?"

That person was none other than the person who had assassinated her many times in Gaodu, the person who came out after disappearing for a long time, the scarred face that Zhuo Ran could not figure out.
