Lanting prelude
Chapter 23 Escape
Chapter 23 Escape
In the corridor in the palace, a group of people are hurrying towards Foguang Temple.
Li Shimin sat on a luanyu carried by eight people, Zhao Dequan followed closely beside him, a group of eunuchs leading the way with lanterns in front, and a group of Imperial Guard soldiers, followed by a group of eunuchs and soldiers.
Li Shimin closed his eyes, but urged: "Quick!"
"Hurry up, everyone has an order, hurry up!" Zhao Dequan shouted to the eunuch in front of him.
To the north of Foguang Temple, Li Anyan was walking quickly with more than ten subordinates.
"General, where are we going?" The deputy beside him couldn't help asking.
"Look for Mimancang."
"Looking for him? The palace is so big, where can I find him?"
"I know where he is." Li Anyan was confident.
The deputy looked back and forth, judged the direction, and suddenly said: "You mean, Mi Mancang is in Foguang Temple?"
Li Anyan remained silent and quickened his pace.The deputy and the soldiers hurriedly followed closely.
In front of the Biancai meditation room, Xiao Junmo looked at the thin eunuch coldly: "Mister has an order, hand over Biancai to me, and your task will be completed."
The thin eunuch was very suspicious: "Impossible, the order I received was clearly to kill the debater, this is what Mr. Xuanquan told me personally."
"Xuanquan is also carrying out Mr. Mingzang's orders, isn't he?"
"Yes, but..."
"It's nothing but, Mister didn't want to kill Biancai in the first place. Think about it, if Biancai dies, the "Lanting Preface" will disappear from now on, and wouldn't the hope of reuniting the Heavenly Punishment League come to naught?"
The thin eunuch was very puzzled: "In this case, why did the master ask us to kill the eloquent?"
"Mr. has his own reasons for doing this." Xiao Junmo imitated his tone just now.
Xiao Junmo's words just now, although the thin eunuch did not expect it, but people who are not from the Heavenly Punishment Alliance cannot say it anyway, so he dared not doubt Xiao Junmo's identity, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he had to continue asking Said: "May I ask, what is the reason? I can return to Mr. Xuanquan later."
"I can tell you the reason, but you'd better bury it in your heart and don't tell Xuanquan." Xiao Junmo knew that he had to give him a convincing reason, so he could only gamble.
The thin eunuch became more and more confused: "Why?"
"Xuanquan has been lurking in the court for many years. Although he has never betrayed his husband, he has not seen him for several years. This time, when he comes to Beijing, there are many important things to do. In order to investigate whether Xuanquan is completely loyal to him, there is a It is necessary to give him a task first to see how he is doing. I followed you just now and found that you are not bad, and your position in the organization is not low. Since Xuanquan is willing to send you as a right envoy, It shows that he still cares about what the husband explained, and it also shows that he is still loyal. When I turn back, I will report to the husband. "
The thin eunuch was a little dazed, but when he heard Xiao Junmo say that he followed him all the way, he suspected that he made up this set of words after overhearing the conversation just now, and his eyes showed doubts again.
Xiao Junmo knew what he was thinking, so he sneered coldly: "Don't blame the mister for being suspicious. You must have known about Wuya Ruo Lu Shiheng's betrayal of the mister back then, and the lesson was so painful. The mister is just these two right-hand men, and they were broken back then. One, how can it be broken now? So, the master did it as a last resort, you must understand the difficulties of the master!"
The thin eunuch was finally relieved.The person who can tell such inside information is definitely a member of the Tianxing League, and the level is definitely not low.In order to confirm this, the thin eunuch asked: "May I ask what position you have with Mr. Mingzang?"
"It's a coincidence!" Xiao Junmo smiled, "I'm also an envoy, just like you."
Although they are all right envoys, the right envoy of the main rudder is obviously higher than the right envoy of the rudder, so the thin eunuch was awed when he heard it, bowed and said: "This subordinate has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, I hope you will forgive me !"
This person is at least fifty years old, but he respectfully calls himself Mr. Xiao Junmo couldn't help secretly laughing in his heart, but said seriously on his face: "It's been a lot of time, you have to cooperate with me, and quickly take him out of the palace .”
The thin eunuch immediately cupped his hands: "I obey!" Then he waved to the fat eunuch who was in the room, and the fat eunuch quickly brought Biancai out.Cai Biancai was in the room just now. He knew it was Xiao Junmo and heard what he said. He was very confused. He didn't understand why he knew so many secrets of the Tianxing League. When he went out, he couldn't help looking at him a few more times. Eye.
Taking advantage of the two people not paying attention, Xiao Junmo secretly blinked at Biancai.
Biancai didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he could only secretly smile bitterly.
At this time, Mi Mancang was the one who couldn't understand Xiao Junmo more than Biancai.He couldn't figure out why Xiao Junmo could convince these two fierce assassins in a few words and let them consider themselves "subordinates".
Xiao Junmo patted him on the head, and said in a low voice: "Don't be stupid, go!"
The four of them hurried towards the gate of the temple with their debaters in their arms.Xiao Junmo looked at the corpses of those soldiers on the ground, and suddenly had an idea: Isn't it easier to get out of the palace by disguising as an imperial army than eunuchs?Immediately they stopped them, and as soon as they spoke their minds, the five of them hurriedly took off the armor and sabers from the soldiers and replaced them one by one.
Afterwards, the five walked out of Foguang Temple quickly.But as soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he saw a large group of people coming towards him from the west. It was clearly the emperor Luanjia!
Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Junmo.
Xiao Junmo turned his eyes and looked at the thin eunuch: "Brother, it's time to test our loyalty!"
As the boss said to his subordinates, the "we" here is actually "you", how could the thin eunuch not hear it?He immediately puffed up his chest: "Please give me an order, my subordinates will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"
Xiao Junmo made a painful expression: "In fact, I should have led them away, but you don't know the secret way out of the palace..."
Seeing this, the thin eunuch was a little moved, and said more firmly: "No, sir, please leave quickly, and let the subordinates go down to lure them away!"
Xiao Junmo moved and patted him on the shoulder, as if he couldn't express a thousand emotions.
Both the thin eunuch and the fat eunuch clasped their fists together, and bowed deeply to Xiao Junmo: "Take care, sir!"
Xiao Junmo nodded solemnly: "Take care, both of you!"
The two immediately drew their knives out of their sheaths and rushed towards Li Shimin's Luanjia.
Xiao Junmo turned around quickly, took Biancai's hand and ran towards the north, with Mi Mancang closely following behind.Soon, the three of them heard the sound of fierce fighting behind them, and at the same time, many eunuchs shouted at the top of their voices: "There are assassins, escort, escort—"
The soldiers around the temple moved when they heard the sound, and they all ran over from the darkness.Xiao Junmo hurriedly shouted at them: "There are assassins, brothers, hurry up and escort them, I will report to General Li!"
The soldiers saw that the three of them were all wearing imperial armor, and the night was so dark that they couldn't see their faces clearly, and the eunuchs in the distance were indeed screaming heart-piercingly, so they didn't care to think about it, and ran past them one by one .
"Okay, fun!" Mi Mancang suddenly said with a smirk.
Xiao Junmo laughed while running: "A child can scare you into the urine, how fun?!"
Embarrassed, Mi Mancang quickly fell silent.
Bian Cai ran panting, and said coldly: "I haven't seen General Xiao for a long time, this play is getting more and more perfect!"
Hearing this, Xiao Junmo couldn't help smiling wryly.That's right, why do I have to act every time I'm with Biancai?And every time he acted so similarly, if he said that he was not a liar, no one would believe him.
Laughing wryly at himself, he saw another group of imperial guards running towards them.Xiao Junmo repeated his old tricks, and opened his voice to shout: "There are assassins, brothers, hurry up and escort them, I will report..."
Just when the next three words were about to be blurted out, Xiao Junmo suddenly saw Li Anyan's face.At this time, the two sides were very close, Xiao Junmo stopped abruptly, and changed his words: "I'm going to report to the general, brothers, hurry up and escort—" Then he quickly pretended to wipe his sweat with his hands, and covered his face.
When Li Anyan ran in front of the three of them, he seemed to pause for a moment, then turned around and shouted behind him: "Brothers, protect the Holy Majesty, hurry up!"
The two sides passed each other quickly, and Xiao Junmo let out a long sigh of relief.
In Ningyun Pavilion, the eunuchs and soldiers downstairs were lying on the ground in disorder, and the maids upstairs were all asleep, and the whole small building was silent.However, when the three of Xiao Junmo arrived, they searched the whole building up and down carefully, but there was no trace of Chu Lisang.All three were sweating profusely and looked at each other.
Xiao Junmo said to Mi Mancang: "I'll look for it again, you first take off the soldier's armor and prepare for her to put it on."
Biancai hurriedly said, "I'll look for it too!"
Xiao Junmo smiled wryly: "Master, just wait here. You are not familiar with the palace. What if I get Miss Chu back and you disappear again, what should I do?"
Biancai thought for a while, then fell silent.
"Don't worry, mage, I will definitely bring her to you unscathed."
Just now on the road, Xiao Junmo had already briefly stated his intention to rescue their father and daughter, and Biancai finally realized that his impression of him changed a lot. Hearing what he said at this time, he was immediately moved, nodded and said: "Then Thank you, General Xiao!"
There is a small bamboo forest behind Ningyun Pavilion.Xiao Junmo searched around Ningyun Pavilion, but found no one, so he got into the bamboo forest in the dark.He had only walked more than ten steps, and felt a murderous aura coming from the back of his head, he quickly lowered his head, but saw a crash, and a clump of bamboo in front of him had been chopped off by a sharp horizontal knife.
Xiao Junmo was taken aback, he spun on the spot, quickly circled behind the attacker, hugged the attacker with his left hand, and wiped the knife across the opponent's neck with his right hand.
Chu Lisang suddenly let out a scream, and Xiao Junmo stopped abruptly.Unexpectedly, Chu Lisang stabbed back with his elbow, hitting Xiao Junmo's right abdomen hard.There was a wound there, and Xiao Junmo bent down in pain, and couldn't help moaning.Only then did Chu Lisang realize that it was him, and said in surprise, "It's you? Why are you dressed like this?"
Xiao Junmo endured the pain, and said with a wry smile: "If I didn't dress like this, I would have died a long time ago."
Before, after Chu Lisang managed to charm all the guards, he was afraid that someone would come, so he had to hide in the bamboo forest just in case.Unexpectedly, Xiao Junmo was almost killed just now, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, but when I thought of being hugged by him just now, I felt a burst of embarrassment.Looking at her expression, Xiao Junmo also noticed it, and was a little embarrassed at the moment.
"Where's my father? Has he been rescued?" Chu Lisang's question resolved the embarrassment of each other.
"Of course! You don't even know who made the move!"
Chu Lisang was overjoyed and quickly ran out of the bamboo forest.
Xiao Junmo touched the painful wound, and couldn't help shouting at her back: "Hey, don't ask me if it hurts, you woman, you have no conscience!"
Chu Lisang had long since disappeared.
In Foguang Temple, Li Shimin stood at the door of Biancai's meditation room, looking at the empty room with a livid face.
Li Shimin was extremely astonished when the two assassins suddenly rushed towards Luanjia just now.After taking the throne for so many years, no one has ever dared to assassinate Li Shimin except for an assassination by Turkic people in Jiucheng Palace three years ago.At this moment, these two assassins dared to do something in the palace, which really shocked him.What surprised him even more was that the martial arts of these two people turned out to be very strong. They killed more than a dozen guards of the Imperial Army in a blink of an eye, and they were about to rush in front of his Luanjia. Fortunately, Li Anyan and the soldiers of Foguang Temple arrived in time. Together with the guards, they were killed.
Li Shimin originally wanted to catch them alive, but these two were too fierce, if he wanted to catch them alive, more guards would have to die, and he was worried that something would happen to Biancai, so he didn't want to delay any longer, so he let the guards kill the two assassins.Afterwards, Li Shimin entered the Foguang Temple surrounded by Li Anyan and a group of guards and eunuchs. He and the others were once again stunned by the horrors they saw along the way.
When he rushed to the meditation room, although he didn't see the picture of Biancai being killed as he imagined, which made Li Shimin feel a little bit lucky, but the result of people going to the empty house still made him extremely angry.Li Anyan looked terrified, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Li Shimin glared at him: "You are responsible for the safety of the palace, but such a big thing happened, of course you cannot escape the responsibility!"
"Yes, I am a capital offender! But I have already noticed it beforehand, I only regret that it is still a step late!"
Li Shimin frowned: "You noticed it beforehand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mi Mancang, the eunuch of Ningyun Pavilion, is acting suspiciously. The humble official came all the way just now, and it was because he was worried that he would attack Bian."
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Li Shimin said sharply, "Close all the palace gates immediately, search Mi Mancang with all your strength, and bring Biancai back to me!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
Under the Xuanwu Gate, the gatekeepers didn't know that the palace was in chaos, they were chatting together in twos and threes.
Suddenly, there was a burst of horn sounds in the palace. The sound was rapid and high-pitched, which was a signal of an emergency.The expressions of the sergeants changed, and they all looked towards the palace.Immediately afterwards, the sound of clanging swords and swords came from not far away. The leading sergeant no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered a dozen of his subordinates, and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
After running for more than ten feet, the leading sergeant saw figures in front of him, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, so he shouted: "Who is in front?"
Four heavily armed imperial guards rushed up to meet them, and the first one ran and shouted: "Quick, there are assassins in the palace, and they are heading towards the Shujing Palace! I just fought against them, but I didn't catch them!"
The leading sergeant was shocked when he heard the words, and before he had time to think about it, he took his men and ran towards the Shujing Hall in the northwest corner of the palace city.Unexpectedly, those four people ran in the opposite direction with them.The leading sergeant was surprised and turned around and shouted: "Where are you going?"
"I am ordered by General Li to go to the barracks to gather brothers to hunt down the assassins!" The guard threw a sentence from a distance, and at the same time kept walking, leading the other three into the night.
The guards on the left and right of the Imperial Army were stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. If Li Anyan's order to call up the men was really in order, they would indeed be heading this way, and the direction was right.The leading sergeant dispelled his doubts and led his troops to the palace.
At this moment, there are still seven or eight sergeants left in the Xuanwu Sect, all of them holding knives in their hands, all facing the palace with nervous expressions.Suddenly, four imperial guards ran over in the dark, and before these sergeants could react, they heard the first one shout loudly: "Quick, there are assassins in the palace, pass on the order of the Holy One, and close the palace gate immediately!"
First they heard the sound of horns, then the sound of fighting, and now they received an order to close the palace gate. All of these were logical, so the soldiers immediately went back to close the palace gate without hesitation.Just when the two heavy palace doors were about to close, the four imperial guards quickly rushed out through the cracks in the door.
A sergeant was surprised and shouted at their backs, "Where are you going?"
"Under the order of General Li, go and ask the brothers in the forbidden garden to strengthen their vigilance!" The guard shouted back, "you must strictly guard the gate of the palace and not let anyone out of the palace, do you hear me clearly?"
The guard was tall, with a loud voice, and a sense of majesty in his tone.This kind of majesty must be possessed by those who often give orders. Moreover, if there are assassins in the palace, the patrol team in the Forbidden Garden must be notified to step up their precautions. This order is also very reasonable, so the guard sergeant did not have the slightest doubt when he heard it, and blurted out: "Obey!"
Immediately afterwards, the palace gate was shut behind these four people.
Xiao Junmo, Chu Lisang, Biancai, and Mi Mancang looked at each other and smiled, and they all let out a long breath.
At the same time that Xiao Junmo and others left Xuanwu Gate, Li Anyan also led people to Ningyun Pavilion.
Looking at the maids and eunuchs who were snoring loudly upstairs and downstairs, as well as the two subordinates who were sleeping soundly at the door, Li Anyan frowned and said nothing.
The Forbidden Garden in the Tang Dynasty covers a vast area, larger than the entire Chang'an City. The garden is densely covered with forests, the terrain is undulating, and the trails are criss-crossing. The terrain is very complicated.This is obviously beneficial to escape, so even though there are many Imperial Army patrols patrolling here, it is not easy to run into them.
Xiao Junmo went back and forth to the Forbidden Garden many times, and he had already figured out a safe route, so he took the three of them to the Yinma Gate in the northeast and hurried all the way.However, what Xiao Junmo never imagined was that when they hurried around a dirt slope, they bumped into a patrol team of the Imperial Army head-on!
This is a small team, with a total of eight people, but they carried a full four lanterns, so when the two sides met each other, they could see each other clearly, and they couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to.Xiao Junmo had no choice but to tell the three of them to be careful in a low voice, and then he bravely went forward and said loudly: "There are assassins in the palace, you have to be more vigilant, cheer me up!"
Taking the lead is Xiao Junmo's consistent tactic.On the way out of the palace just now, he relied on this tactic to fool around, but this time, he miscalculated.
The team of this patrol team is an old imperial guard, over fifty years old, and has a lot of experience.He sized Xiao Junmo up, then quickly turned his gaze to the three people behind him.Chu Lisang and the others quickly lowered their heads.Xiao Junmo secretly groaned, and subconsciously stood in front of Chu Lisang.The team was walking forward, and said with a smile: "These brothers are all new here, why haven't I seen them before?"
Xiao Junmo also smiled calmly: "Brother, this is too loud. The sixteen guards have tens of thousands of people. Have you seen them all?"
"That's true." Dui Zheng sneered, staring at him, "Dare you ask which part you belong to?"
"Zuo Tunwei, General Li Anyan's subordinates."
"General Li's subordinates, why don't you stay at the Xuanwu Gate, what are you doing in the Forbidden Garden?"
"As I said just now, there are assassins in the palace. I have been ordered to come here and inform you to strengthen your vigilance."
"Assassin?! Then I have to cheer up." The captain was talking, tilting his head, his eyes rolled on Chu Lisang, "This brother is so thin and tender, he doesn't look like that at all He's a soldier!"
Xiao Junmo's heart trembled, and he secretly put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and said with a smile: "The nine sons of a dragon are all different, let alone all living beings like me? Do you have to be as rough and thick as the old man to be called a master?" soldiers?"
Du Zheng chuckled, but didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on Chu Lisang's chest.Chu Lisang shrank back subconsciously.Dui Zheng seemed to see something, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.Xiao Junmo saw it and sighed in his heart.He has always been unwilling to kill casually, but right now, it is probably impossible not to kill.
Dui was smiling lewdly, and suddenly shot, grabbing Chu Lisang's chest.
Xiao Junmo's saber came out of its sheath almost at the same time.
The knife flashed, and a severed palm fell to the ground, the fingers were still twitching slightly.The captain was clutching his severed wrist and let out a shrill howl.Chu Lisang also cried out in shock.The seven soldiers behind the team were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward with their knives drawn.Xiao Junmo fought with a knife, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand fight...
Xuanwu Gate, Li Anyan rushed over with his subordinates, seeing that the palace gate was tightly closed, he hurriedly asked: "Who ordered you to close the palace gate?"
"Just now, four guards came to deliver an order, saying that they were ordered by you." The guard sergeant said.
Li Anyan immediately understood everything: "Where are they?"
"Going out... out of the palace, and went to the Forbidden Garden."
Li Anyan scolded his mother, and said sharply: "Open the door, everyone follow me!"
As soon as Xiao Junmo fought with each other, he cut down two of them, and then fought with the other three.Chu Lisang also dealt with two of them alone.Neither Biancai nor Mi Mancang knew martial arts, so they could only pretend to hold a knife.Duzheng's right hand was chopped off, bleeding profusely, but still holding a knife in his left hand, roaring, staggeringly attacking Biancai and Mi Mancang.In normal times, the two of them would definitely die, but now they are able to deal with the team, so they kept teasing him to run around on the dirt slope, making the team scream out in anger.
After Yue Mo fought for a stick of incense, Xiao Junmo cut down another person, and gradually felt exhausted.
Many wounds on the body have been torn, and blood seeps into the underwear and continuously flows out from the gaps in the armor.Seeing this, the two opponents knew that he was at the end of their strength, so they increased their attack strength and almost succeeded several times.Chu Lisang had also hacked and killed one person at this time. Seeing that Xiao Junmo was in a critical situation, he attacked with all his strength, and finally chopped down the other person in a pool of blood.
Then it became a two-on-two fight.Xiao Junmo's pressure dropped suddenly, so he tried his best to turn the defense into an offense; Chu Lisang had only one opponent, and gradually gained the upper hand.
However, they didn't know that Li Anyan had summoned hundreds of subordinates at this time, divided into ten groups, and launched a large-scale search of the entire Forbidden Garden.He personally led dozens of people and chose one of them to track.And this route is roughly the escape route of Xiao Junmo and others.
At the moment when Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang were fighting with each other, Li Anyan had already chased to the vicinity of the soil slope, and had faintly heard the clang of their swords clashing.
"General, it seems that the assassin was discovered by the patrol!" The deputy next to him said happily.
Li Anyan was expressionless, only waved his hand, and walked quickly towards the slope.
Near the slope, Dui Zheng had passed out in the grass due to excessive blood loss, Biancai and Mi Mancang spared their hands, and hurried over to help Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang.Although the two don't know martial arts, they only distracted the soldiers by harassing them behind them.Soon, Chu Lisang pierced the soldier with a knife, ending the battle.Almost at the same time, Xiao Junmo also exhausted his last bit of strength and slashed and killed his opponent, but he couldn't hold on anymore, and his body shook.Mi Mancang hurriedly supported him.
Seeing that Xiao Junmo was covered in blood, Chu Lisang's eyes were red with anxiety, and he quickly took out a sweat towel to cover his wound.Helplessly, there were too many wounds on his body, bleeding everywhere, and he couldn't cover it at all, Chu Lisang was in a hurry, and tears fell instantly.
Xiao Junmo smiled weakly: "I have a lot of blood, I can't stop bleeding, don't worry."
When Chu Lisang heard this, tears fell even more urgently.
At this moment, hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the other side of the slope, obviously a large group of people came over.The four of them were startled at the same time, and Biancai said urgently: "Quick, you two support Xiao Lang, hurry up and leave!"
Xiao Junmo listened intently, smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late."
Chu Lisang was very worried, and stomped his feet: "Then what should I do?"
Xiao Junmo raised his eyes and found a bush half a person's height on his right, and said, "I can only hide."
Li Anyan finally arrived at Tupo, but saw eight corpses and four lanterns lying on the ground, and Xiao Junmo and others had long since disappeared.
"General, looking at it like this, they must not be able to run far." The deputy said.
Li Anyan looked around by the light of the lantern on the ground, and seemed to sense something, and said, "Tell the brothers to stand by." After speaking, he went straight to the dense grass on the right.
The four of Xiao Junmo hid in the grass, seeing Li Anyan approaching them step by step, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
Suddenly, Xiao Junmo found that Chu Lisang's sweat towel had fallen ten feet away, and instead of falling on the ground, it was hanging on the grass, and he smiled helplessly.At this moment, Chu Lisang also found out, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice that he deserved to die.Xiao Junmo subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife.He realized that today's catastrophe might not be able to escape.
At a distance of three feet away from Xiao Junmo and others, Li Anyan slowly drew out his saber, and then used the saber to draw back and forth in the grass in front of him, walking forward while drawing.After a while, he walked to the place where the sweat towel fell.The four of Xiao Junmo unconsciously held their breath.
Li Anyan suddenly raised her head and looked around, the horizontal knife in her hand touched the sweat towel inadvertently, and then the sweat towel slid down the grass and was never seen again.
Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang looked at each other, not believing that there would be such luck in the world.
Li Anyan stood there for a while, then turned around and strode back.
Xiao Junmo frowned slightly.
He had a vague feeling that Li Anyan seemed a little weird today.He accidentally swept off the blood-stained sweat towel right in front of his eyes. Did he really do it unintentionally?
Li Anyan came back and said to his assistant: "Let's go, there's no one here, go search elsewhere."
The deputy immediately ordered the soldiers to form a team, and then waited for Li Anyan's order.
Li Anyan walked to the corpse of the captain, looked at it, and said to his assistant, "Leave some people and help these brothers collect the corpse."
"Yes."
Li Anyan was about to take a step when she suddenly felt someone grab her ankle. She looked down and was startled.
Due Zheng was still alive, he was holding him tightly with his left hand, then raised the severed hand tremblingly, and pointed to the grass where Xiao Junmo and others were hiding.
Li Anyan was startled, and quickly squatted down, pressed his severed hand as if inadvertently, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry, I will carry you into the palace right away, you won't die."
Dui Zheng's face was as pale as paper, his lips were moving, and he was speaking indistinctly.Li Anyan lay down and put her ear to his mouth.The team was upright and said: "They... hid... in the bushes..."
Li Anyan looked at the captain, smiled unexpectedly, and then quietly covered the captain's nose and mouth with the palm of his right hand.Since he was squatting with his back to his subordinates, no one could see his movements and thought he was listening to the team talking.
Li Anyan was being covered with his mouth and nose, slowly losing his breath, his two eyeballs protruded greatly, staring at Li Anyan in horror and astonishment.On the other hand, Li Anyan kept a smile on his face—this was the calmest and scariest smile that Dui Zheng had ever seen in his life.
Soon, the team's limbs twitched a few times, and then there was no sound at all.
Li Anyan let go of his hand slowly, then stood up, and walked to the deputy as if nothing had happened.
"What did that brother say?" the deputy asked.
Li Anyan sighed: "He said that there is still an eighty-year-old mother at home, let me help take care of it, and I promised him."
"Then is he... dead now?"
"Yes, these are his last words."
Li Anyan led his troops to another direction, leaving only a few people to clean the battlefield.Xiao Junmo and the others quietly left the grass, then entered a forest, and continued heading northeast.At this time, Xiao Junmo was still bleeding, and his face was getting paler and paler.Fortunately, it is not too far from the exit. Chu Lisang and Mi Mancang supported him from left to right. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the four of them finally came to the garden wall near the Yinma Gate. There was a small hole under the wall. , The hole is covered with some dead branches and weeds.
Mi Mancang took out two pre-hidden parcels from the grass next to him, one bulging one was his own, which contained more than [-] ingots of gold that Xiao Junmo had given him one after another, as well as some soft goods he usually saved; One is Xiao Junmo's, which contains "Lanting Collection", wine glass, fire sickle and flint, and some money.Afterwards, Xiao Junmo crawled out of the small hole first, and then Chu Lisang, Biancai, and Mi Mancang also climbed out one after another.
The four looked at each other and smiled with relief.
A thrilling and dangerous rescue operation has finally come to an end.
There is a small forest not far from the entrance of the cave. Xiao Junmo hid four horses in the forest in advance.However, when they came to the place where the horses were originally tied, they found that the horses were all gone.Xiao Junmo was puzzled, and then the four of them searched around again, but there was still no sign of the horse.
"Could it be that you misremembered the place?" Chu Lisang asked.
"Impossible." Xiao Junmo said, "I have been in and out of the Forbidden Garden many times, and I tied the horse here. It is impossible to remember wrongly."
"Maybe it's not fastened?" Biancai said.
Xiao Junmo shook his head.
After thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it was impossible.
"There is only one possibility." Xiao Junmo frowned, "Someone found these horses and took them away."
The other three immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.Although they escaped from Miyagi now and got rid of the danger temporarily, they would be crippled without horses, not to mention that with Xiao Junmo's current physical condition, he couldn't walk far on two legs.At daybreak, the imperial court will definitely launch a large-scale search around the Forbidden Garden, and they still won't be able to escape by then!
When everyone was frowning, a sneer suddenly came from the tree above Xiao Junmo's head: "Brother, it seems that you are still smart, only you guessed it right."
Hearing the sound, Xiao Junmo couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.
Before they could react, a figure jumped down from the tree, and at the same time, a dragon head knife lay across Xiao Junmo's neck.
Chu Lisang took a closer look and found that this person was Huan Dieyi, no wonder his voice was so familiar.
"Dieyi, since you have come here, I won't say much." Xiao Junmo smiled lightly, "Thank you for coming to give me a ride."
A woman's intuition is much more terrifying than Xiao Junmo imagined.As early as when Huan Dieyi went to Yique to catch Chu Lisang, she had already noticed that she was interested in Xiao Junmo, and after returning to Beijing, he felt that Xiao Junmo seemed to have the same feeling in his heart.Afterwards, Huan Dieyi met the eunuch Mi Mancang at Xiao Junmo's home, and became suspicious, thinking that Xiao Junmo might want to enter the palace to see Chu Lisang.Of course, Huan Dieyi didn't notice Xiao Junmo's first entry into the palace. It wasn't until he was injured that he was arguing to go home every day that Huan Dieyi became suspicious again.Therefore, as soon as Xiao Junmo left the palace today, she followed him, and found that he and Mi Mancang met again in Dongshi, so she became more and more convinced that her suspicion was right.After that, she continued to follow Xiao Junmo, and found that he came here with four horses, and she was shocked.
Huan Dieyi thought that Xiao Junmo just wanted to enter the palace to visit Chu Lisang, but he didn't expect that he wanted to save her from the palace!And since there are four horses, it is not difficult to infer that Xiao Junmo also wants to rob Biancai.Thinking of this, Huan Dieyi almost collapsed.She never expected that the smartest, most capable and most promising senior brother in Xuanjiawei would willingly betray the imperial court and give up everything he owned for a woman!
Enraged, Huan Dieyi almost went back to Xuanjiawei to report to his uncle, but in the end he didn't take this step.Because she knew that once she did so, it would not only make it difficult for her uncle, but also kill Xiao Junmo.
So, throughout the night, she has been tangled, suffering, hesitant, and angry in this woods.She asked Xiao Junmo loudly over and over again in her mind: "Why did you do this? Is this woman named Chu Lisang worth the price you paid?!"
At this moment, Huan Dieyi finally yelled out these words, and what followed the words were uncontrollable tears.
"Dieyi, listen to me." Xiao Junmo said helplessly, "There are many reasons why I did this, it's not as simple as you said."
"Stop lying to me!" Huan Dieyi yelled, "You have been lying to me from beginning to end!"
Xiao Jun was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Huan Dieyi in so much pain, Chu Lisang couldn't bear it, and said, "Miss Huan, Xiao Lang's old injury has recurred and he's bleeding a lot. He must seek a doctor right away, or else..."
"I don't care!" Huan Dieyi cried with tears, "It would be best for him to die! I won't feel sorry for him at all!" Having said that, there were obviously more tears than before.
"Miss Huan, if you are really angry, just give me a knife." Chu Lisang said sincerely, "Xiao Lang gave his life to save our father and daughter this time out of good intentions, not what you think."
"Don't think that I dare not kill you!" Huan Dieyi said bitterly, "It's all because of you, you are the one who killed senior brother!"
Chu Lisang nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, I was the one who killed him, so come at me."
Huan Dieyi snorted coldly, flipped his wrist, and rushed towards Chu Lisang with the knife in his hand.Xiao Junmo wanted to stop her, but he couldn't stand still, so Mi Mancang hurried over to support her.
Seeing that the dragon head knife was about to stab Chu Lisang, Biancai stepped forward to block it, and the blade pierced into his right chest. Fortunately, he was wearing armor, so the stab was not deep, but blood still gushed out.Chu Lisang called Dad, hurriedly covered Biancai's wound with his hands, tears welled up in his eyes, and then helped him sit down against a tree trunk.
Huan Dieyi was impulsive in a fit of rage, but in fact he didn't dare to kill Chu Lisang, but now that he saw that he had hurt the debaters, he was dumbfounded and dropped his hands powerlessly.
"Huan Dieyi!" Chu Lisang was angry, and stared at her coldly, "I remember, we still have an unfinished agreement, so let's conclude it today!"
Huan Dieyi's fighting spirit was once again aroused by this sentence, and he immediately swung his knife across: "Okay, today is the day, come on!"
Chu Lisang also slowly drew out the horizontal knife.
The weapons intersected, and the two women were killed in a blink of an eye.Xiao Junmo tried his best to stop them, but he was too weak to speak.Mi Mancang looked at him, almost crying with anxiety.At this moment, the shouts of soldiers from the Forbidden Army came from the Forbidden Garden.Chu Lisang was distracted for a moment, Huan Dieyi's knife had stabbed her in the chest.At the very moment, a silver needle flew out of the dark woods and hit Huan Dieyi's neck in an instant.Huan Dieyi staggered, covered his neck with his hands, staggered, and immediately fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.
Before they figured out what was going on, a few black figures walked towards them not far away.Chu Lisang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, slashing the knife across: "Who is coming?"
"Everyone, don't panic!" A dark figure said in a deep voice, "This old man is here to help you."
Xiao Junmo was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.
It's him? !
But how could he appear in this place at such a time?
But seeing those black shadows walking up to Xiao Junmo and standing still a few steps away, it was true that it was Wei Zheng who came.
Although Xiao Junmo is weak, his mind is still clear.He quickly reviewed Li Anyan's various abnormal actions tonight, and suddenly realized that Wei Zheng had already seen through everything, so he ordered Li Anyan to secretly help them escape!
In fact, when Xiao Junmo bid farewell to Wei Zheng that day, saying that he was going on a long trip, Wei Zheng had already guessed that he might want to rescue Biancai, and immediately ordered Li Anyan to investigate secretly.Soon, Li Anyan discovered that Mi Mancang frequently entered and exited the Forbidden Garden, acting strangely, so he investigated the garden wall of the Forbidden Garden by himself, found a small hole near the Yinma Gate, and reported it to Wei Zheng.Knowing that it was difficult to stop Xiao Junmo, Wei Zheng also wanted to prevent the emperor from pursuing the secret of "Lanting Preface", so he decided to secretly help Xiao Junmo rescue Biancai.Thus, there were all kinds of abnormal actions that Li Anyan called to hunt down tonight, but in fact to protect.
At the beginning, Li Anyan pretended to go to Ningyun Pavilion to search for a full warehouse. The purpose was actually to find out Xiao Junmo's plan so that he could cooperate with him as much as possible.When he noticed that the shortbread that the court lady ate was drugged, and noticed that there were some wine and vegetables downstairs, he immediately understood Xiao Junmo's intentions, and immediately left two soldiers in Ningyun Pavilion.In fact, these two people are his capable subordinates in the organization, and the task he arranged for them is to ensure that Chu Lisang can escape smoothly.Therefore, even if Chu Lisang didn't take the initiative to go downstairs to ask everyone to drink, the two of them would invite the eunuchs to drink at the right time.Seeing that Chu Lisang took the initiative to attack, they followed suit and drank the wine toasted by her.Afterwards, the two pretended to be fascinated, but in fact they kept observing in secret. It was not until Xiao Junmo brought Biancai to Ningyun Pavilion to rescue Chu Lisang that their mission was completed.
After Li Anyan left Ningyun Pavilion, she hurried to Foguang Temple, also to cooperate with Xiao Junmo's actions.When the two sides met on the way, Li Anyan actually recognized Xiao Junmo and Biancai at a glance, but pretended to be fooled and hurriedly passed them.Afterwards, Li Anyan bluffed again and sent a large number of people to search the Forbidden Garden, with the sole purpose of paying the emperor a favor.In fact, he had already deduced Xiao Junmo's escape route from the small hole near Yinma Gate, so he personally led the team to search this way.
Later, when Xiao Junmo and others were hiding in the grass in the Forbidden Garden, Li Anyan deliberately removed the blood-stained sweat towel, and finally killed the team leader ruthlessly, and took the team to another direction. Only then did Xiao Junmo and others escape safely...
At this moment, Xiao Junmo and Wei Zheng met each other's eyes, and then they looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.
"Teacher, thank you for everything you have done." Xiao Junmo said, "This junior will remember it in his heart."
Wei Zheng waved his hand: "Nephew, you are serious. What you have done is actually what I want to do. In this regard, we are on the same path, so there is no need to thank you."
At this time, Chu Lisang came over with Biancai supported.Biancai looked at Wei Zheng for a while, and seemed to understand in his heart, he cupped his hands and said, "I have heard about Wei Taishi's name for a long time, and today I finally meet him in person, what a great honor!"
Wei Zheng was solemn, and bowed deeply to the debater: "My subordinate is Linchuan Wei Zheng, and I have seen the Zuo envoy."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang were a little surprised.
Xiao Junmo thought for a while, and immediately felt relieved: Since Biancai has followed Zhiyong, the leader of the Heavenly Punishment League for many years, he is his right-hand man, so it is only reasonable for him to be the left envoy of the Heavenly Punishment League.
Biancai smiled lightly and said, "Grand Master Wei doesn't need to be strict with etiquette. Ever since my predecessor gave the order of 'sleep' to the alliance, I am no longer a leftist envoy, I can only be regarded as an outsider."
At this time, the noise of the drums in the Forbidden Garden became louder, and it seemed that someone had discovered the small hole under the wall of the garden.Everyone was stunned.Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Zuo, my subordinates have brought a few people here. They are all loyal and capable brothers. Let them escort you."
Xiao Junmo heard the words, and then looked at the strong men behind Wei Zheng, and found that they were actually the tea doctor and the staff of Wangchuan Tea House.
Biancai waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, grand master. The poor monk wants to do a few private matters, and it would be inconvenient if there are too many people."
Wei Zheng heard the implication, knowing that Biancai didn't want people to know his whereabouts, so he stopped insisting, and immediately ordered his men to go down and bring the four horses hidden by Huan Dieyi.At this moment, Chu Lisang lifted Huan Dieyi from the ground and let her lean against a tree.Xiao Junmo looked at the unconscious Huan Dieyi with worry in his eyes.
"Nephew, don't worry." Wei Zheng said to Xiao Junmo, "Miss Huan was only slightly affected by the Ecstasy Powder, she was not injured, and she will wake up in a while."
Xiao Junmo nodded and said nothing.At this time, the horse had been brought over, and he took another look at Huan Dieyi before he got on the horse with the help of Mi Mancang.
After the four of them said how much they cherished each other with Wei Zheng, they patted their horses and galloped eastward along the Weishui River.Wei Zheng watched them leave all the time, and then led his men back into the woods.
Several wounds on Xiao Junmo's body were still bleeding.His face was pale, his expression was painful, and he gradually slowed down.
When the four of them drove out of the woods, Xiao Junmo had obviously fallen behind.
Chu Lisang noticed that as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Junmo's head hooked down, his body softened, and he fell off the horse...
In the woods, Huan Dieyi woke up in a daze, and found that there was no one around him.She smiled wryly, shook her head, then got up, stumbled and ran towards the mount.
Under the starry night sky, four horses are galloping on the Longshou Plain.
Chu Lisang rode one with Xiao Junmo in his arms, Biancai and Mi Mancang each rode one, and the rein of the other was pulled into Mi Mancang's hand.
Behind them, on a high hill far away, Huan Dieyi was standing on his horse with tears in his eyes.
Huan Dieyi couldn't stop crying as she watched the black spots gradually disappearing on the horizon.She knew that Xiao Junmo would never be able to return to Chang'an, but she didn't know where Xiao Junmo would go, let alone whether she would see him again in this life.
Xiao Junmo was bumping on the horse, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was dead.
No one noticed, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye and fell into the dust of Longshouyuan.
(End of this chapter)
In the corridor in the palace, a group of people are hurrying towards Foguang Temple.
Li Shimin sat on a luanyu carried by eight people, Zhao Dequan followed closely beside him, a group of eunuchs leading the way with lanterns in front, and a group of Imperial Guard soldiers, followed by a group of eunuchs and soldiers.
Li Shimin closed his eyes, but urged: "Quick!"
"Hurry up, everyone has an order, hurry up!" Zhao Dequan shouted to the eunuch in front of him.
To the north of Foguang Temple, Li Anyan was walking quickly with more than ten subordinates.
"General, where are we going?" The deputy beside him couldn't help asking.
"Look for Mimancang."
"Looking for him? The palace is so big, where can I find him?"
"I know where he is." Li Anyan was confident.
The deputy looked back and forth, judged the direction, and suddenly said: "You mean, Mi Mancang is in Foguang Temple?"
Li Anyan remained silent and quickened his pace.The deputy and the soldiers hurriedly followed closely.
In front of the Biancai meditation room, Xiao Junmo looked at the thin eunuch coldly: "Mister has an order, hand over Biancai to me, and your task will be completed."
The thin eunuch was very suspicious: "Impossible, the order I received was clearly to kill the debater, this is what Mr. Xuanquan told me personally."
"Xuanquan is also carrying out Mr. Mingzang's orders, isn't he?"
"Yes, but..."
"It's nothing but, Mister didn't want to kill Biancai in the first place. Think about it, if Biancai dies, the "Lanting Preface" will disappear from now on, and wouldn't the hope of reuniting the Heavenly Punishment League come to naught?"
The thin eunuch was very puzzled: "In this case, why did the master ask us to kill the eloquent?"
"Mr. has his own reasons for doing this." Xiao Junmo imitated his tone just now.
Xiao Junmo's words just now, although the thin eunuch did not expect it, but people who are not from the Heavenly Punishment Alliance cannot say it anyway, so he dared not doubt Xiao Junmo's identity, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he had to continue asking Said: "May I ask, what is the reason? I can return to Mr. Xuanquan later."
"I can tell you the reason, but you'd better bury it in your heart and don't tell Xuanquan." Xiao Junmo knew that he had to give him a convincing reason, so he could only gamble.
The thin eunuch became more and more confused: "Why?"
"Xuanquan has been lurking in the court for many years. Although he has never betrayed his husband, he has not seen him for several years. This time, when he comes to Beijing, there are many important things to do. In order to investigate whether Xuanquan is completely loyal to him, there is a It is necessary to give him a task first to see how he is doing. I followed you just now and found that you are not bad, and your position in the organization is not low. Since Xuanquan is willing to send you as a right envoy, It shows that he still cares about what the husband explained, and it also shows that he is still loyal. When I turn back, I will report to the husband. "
The thin eunuch was a little dazed, but when he heard Xiao Junmo say that he followed him all the way, he suspected that he made up this set of words after overhearing the conversation just now, and his eyes showed doubts again.
Xiao Junmo knew what he was thinking, so he sneered coldly: "Don't blame the mister for being suspicious. You must have known about Wuya Ruo Lu Shiheng's betrayal of the mister back then, and the lesson was so painful. The mister is just these two right-hand men, and they were broken back then. One, how can it be broken now? So, the master did it as a last resort, you must understand the difficulties of the master!"
The thin eunuch was finally relieved.The person who can tell such inside information is definitely a member of the Tianxing League, and the level is definitely not low.In order to confirm this, the thin eunuch asked: "May I ask what position you have with Mr. Mingzang?"
"It's a coincidence!" Xiao Junmo smiled, "I'm also an envoy, just like you."
Although they are all right envoys, the right envoy of the main rudder is obviously higher than the right envoy of the rudder, so the thin eunuch was awed when he heard it, bowed and said: "This subordinate has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, I hope you will forgive me !"
This person is at least fifty years old, but he respectfully calls himself Mr. Xiao Junmo couldn't help secretly laughing in his heart, but said seriously on his face: "It's been a lot of time, you have to cooperate with me, and quickly take him out of the palace .”
The thin eunuch immediately cupped his hands: "I obey!" Then he waved to the fat eunuch who was in the room, and the fat eunuch quickly brought Biancai out.Cai Biancai was in the room just now. He knew it was Xiao Junmo and heard what he said. He was very confused. He didn't understand why he knew so many secrets of the Tianxing League. When he went out, he couldn't help looking at him a few more times. Eye.
Taking advantage of the two people not paying attention, Xiao Junmo secretly blinked at Biancai.
Biancai didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he could only secretly smile bitterly.
At this time, Mi Mancang was the one who couldn't understand Xiao Junmo more than Biancai.He couldn't figure out why Xiao Junmo could convince these two fierce assassins in a few words and let them consider themselves "subordinates".
Xiao Junmo patted him on the head, and said in a low voice: "Don't be stupid, go!"
The four of them hurried towards the gate of the temple with their debaters in their arms.Xiao Junmo looked at the corpses of those soldiers on the ground, and suddenly had an idea: Isn't it easier to get out of the palace by disguising as an imperial army than eunuchs?Immediately they stopped them, and as soon as they spoke their minds, the five of them hurriedly took off the armor and sabers from the soldiers and replaced them one by one.
Afterwards, the five walked out of Foguang Temple quickly.But as soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he saw a large group of people coming towards him from the west. It was clearly the emperor Luanjia!
Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Junmo.
Xiao Junmo turned his eyes and looked at the thin eunuch: "Brother, it's time to test our loyalty!"
As the boss said to his subordinates, the "we" here is actually "you", how could the thin eunuch not hear it?He immediately puffed up his chest: "Please give me an order, my subordinates will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"
Xiao Junmo made a painful expression: "In fact, I should have led them away, but you don't know the secret way out of the palace..."
Seeing this, the thin eunuch was a little moved, and said more firmly: "No, sir, please leave quickly, and let the subordinates go down to lure them away!"
Xiao Junmo moved and patted him on the shoulder, as if he couldn't express a thousand emotions.
Both the thin eunuch and the fat eunuch clasped their fists together, and bowed deeply to Xiao Junmo: "Take care, sir!"
Xiao Junmo nodded solemnly: "Take care, both of you!"
The two immediately drew their knives out of their sheaths and rushed towards Li Shimin's Luanjia.
Xiao Junmo turned around quickly, took Biancai's hand and ran towards the north, with Mi Mancang closely following behind.Soon, the three of them heard the sound of fierce fighting behind them, and at the same time, many eunuchs shouted at the top of their voices: "There are assassins, escort, escort—"
The soldiers around the temple moved when they heard the sound, and they all ran over from the darkness.Xiao Junmo hurriedly shouted at them: "There are assassins, brothers, hurry up and escort them, I will report to General Li!"
The soldiers saw that the three of them were all wearing imperial armor, and the night was so dark that they couldn't see their faces clearly, and the eunuchs in the distance were indeed screaming heart-piercingly, so they didn't care to think about it, and ran past them one by one .
"Okay, fun!" Mi Mancang suddenly said with a smirk.
Xiao Junmo laughed while running: "A child can scare you into the urine, how fun?!"
Embarrassed, Mi Mancang quickly fell silent.
Bian Cai ran panting, and said coldly: "I haven't seen General Xiao for a long time, this play is getting more and more perfect!"
Hearing this, Xiao Junmo couldn't help smiling wryly.That's right, why do I have to act every time I'm with Biancai?And every time he acted so similarly, if he said that he was not a liar, no one would believe him.
Laughing wryly at himself, he saw another group of imperial guards running towards them.Xiao Junmo repeated his old tricks, and opened his voice to shout: "There are assassins, brothers, hurry up and escort them, I will report..."
Just when the next three words were about to be blurted out, Xiao Junmo suddenly saw Li Anyan's face.At this time, the two sides were very close, Xiao Junmo stopped abruptly, and changed his words: "I'm going to report to the general, brothers, hurry up and escort—" Then he quickly pretended to wipe his sweat with his hands, and covered his face.
When Li Anyan ran in front of the three of them, he seemed to pause for a moment, then turned around and shouted behind him: "Brothers, protect the Holy Majesty, hurry up!"
The two sides passed each other quickly, and Xiao Junmo let out a long sigh of relief.
In Ningyun Pavilion, the eunuchs and soldiers downstairs were lying on the ground in disorder, and the maids upstairs were all asleep, and the whole small building was silent.However, when the three of Xiao Junmo arrived, they searched the whole building up and down carefully, but there was no trace of Chu Lisang.All three were sweating profusely and looked at each other.
Xiao Junmo said to Mi Mancang: "I'll look for it again, you first take off the soldier's armor and prepare for her to put it on."
Biancai hurriedly said, "I'll look for it too!"
Xiao Junmo smiled wryly: "Master, just wait here. You are not familiar with the palace. What if I get Miss Chu back and you disappear again, what should I do?"
Biancai thought for a while, then fell silent.
"Don't worry, mage, I will definitely bring her to you unscathed."
Just now on the road, Xiao Junmo had already briefly stated his intention to rescue their father and daughter, and Biancai finally realized that his impression of him changed a lot. Hearing what he said at this time, he was immediately moved, nodded and said: "Then Thank you, General Xiao!"
There is a small bamboo forest behind Ningyun Pavilion.Xiao Junmo searched around Ningyun Pavilion, but found no one, so he got into the bamboo forest in the dark.He had only walked more than ten steps, and felt a murderous aura coming from the back of his head, he quickly lowered his head, but saw a crash, and a clump of bamboo in front of him had been chopped off by a sharp horizontal knife.
Xiao Junmo was taken aback, he spun on the spot, quickly circled behind the attacker, hugged the attacker with his left hand, and wiped the knife across the opponent's neck with his right hand.
Chu Lisang suddenly let out a scream, and Xiao Junmo stopped abruptly.Unexpectedly, Chu Lisang stabbed back with his elbow, hitting Xiao Junmo's right abdomen hard.There was a wound there, and Xiao Junmo bent down in pain, and couldn't help moaning.Only then did Chu Lisang realize that it was him, and said in surprise, "It's you? Why are you dressed like this?"
Xiao Junmo endured the pain, and said with a wry smile: "If I didn't dress like this, I would have died a long time ago."
Before, after Chu Lisang managed to charm all the guards, he was afraid that someone would come, so he had to hide in the bamboo forest just in case.Unexpectedly, Xiao Junmo was almost killed just now, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, but when I thought of being hugged by him just now, I felt a burst of embarrassment.Looking at her expression, Xiao Junmo also noticed it, and was a little embarrassed at the moment.
"Where's my father? Has he been rescued?" Chu Lisang's question resolved the embarrassment of each other.
"Of course! You don't even know who made the move!"
Chu Lisang was overjoyed and quickly ran out of the bamboo forest.
Xiao Junmo touched the painful wound, and couldn't help shouting at her back: "Hey, don't ask me if it hurts, you woman, you have no conscience!"
Chu Lisang had long since disappeared.
In Foguang Temple, Li Shimin stood at the door of Biancai's meditation room, looking at the empty room with a livid face.
Li Shimin was extremely astonished when the two assassins suddenly rushed towards Luanjia just now.After taking the throne for so many years, no one has ever dared to assassinate Li Shimin except for an assassination by Turkic people in Jiucheng Palace three years ago.At this moment, these two assassins dared to do something in the palace, which really shocked him.What surprised him even more was that the martial arts of these two people turned out to be very strong. They killed more than a dozen guards of the Imperial Army in a blink of an eye, and they were about to rush in front of his Luanjia. Fortunately, Li Anyan and the soldiers of Foguang Temple arrived in time. Together with the guards, they were killed.
Li Shimin originally wanted to catch them alive, but these two were too fierce, if he wanted to catch them alive, more guards would have to die, and he was worried that something would happen to Biancai, so he didn't want to delay any longer, so he let the guards kill the two assassins.Afterwards, Li Shimin entered the Foguang Temple surrounded by Li Anyan and a group of guards and eunuchs. He and the others were once again stunned by the horrors they saw along the way.
When he rushed to the meditation room, although he didn't see the picture of Biancai being killed as he imagined, which made Li Shimin feel a little bit lucky, but the result of people going to the empty house still made him extremely angry.Li Anyan looked terrified, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Li Shimin glared at him: "You are responsible for the safety of the palace, but such a big thing happened, of course you cannot escape the responsibility!"
"Yes, I am a capital offender! But I have already noticed it beforehand, I only regret that it is still a step late!"
Li Shimin frowned: "You noticed it beforehand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mi Mancang, the eunuch of Ningyun Pavilion, is acting suspiciously. The humble official came all the way just now, and it was because he was worried that he would attack Bian."
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Li Shimin said sharply, "Close all the palace gates immediately, search Mi Mancang with all your strength, and bring Biancai back to me!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
Under the Xuanwu Gate, the gatekeepers didn't know that the palace was in chaos, they were chatting together in twos and threes.
Suddenly, there was a burst of horn sounds in the palace. The sound was rapid and high-pitched, which was a signal of an emergency.The expressions of the sergeants changed, and they all looked towards the palace.Immediately afterwards, the sound of clanging swords and swords came from not far away. The leading sergeant no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered a dozen of his subordinates, and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
After running for more than ten feet, the leading sergeant saw figures in front of him, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, so he shouted: "Who is in front?"
Four heavily armed imperial guards rushed up to meet them, and the first one ran and shouted: "Quick, there are assassins in the palace, and they are heading towards the Shujing Palace! I just fought against them, but I didn't catch them!"
The leading sergeant was shocked when he heard the words, and before he had time to think about it, he took his men and ran towards the Shujing Hall in the northwest corner of the palace city.Unexpectedly, those four people ran in the opposite direction with them.The leading sergeant was surprised and turned around and shouted: "Where are you going?"
"I am ordered by General Li to go to the barracks to gather brothers to hunt down the assassins!" The guard threw a sentence from a distance, and at the same time kept walking, leading the other three into the night.
The guards on the left and right of the Imperial Army were stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. If Li Anyan's order to call up the men was really in order, they would indeed be heading this way, and the direction was right.The leading sergeant dispelled his doubts and led his troops to the palace.
At this moment, there are still seven or eight sergeants left in the Xuanwu Sect, all of them holding knives in their hands, all facing the palace with nervous expressions.Suddenly, four imperial guards ran over in the dark, and before these sergeants could react, they heard the first one shout loudly: "Quick, there are assassins in the palace, pass on the order of the Holy One, and close the palace gate immediately!"
First they heard the sound of horns, then the sound of fighting, and now they received an order to close the palace gate. All of these were logical, so the soldiers immediately went back to close the palace gate without hesitation.Just when the two heavy palace doors were about to close, the four imperial guards quickly rushed out through the cracks in the door.
A sergeant was surprised and shouted at their backs, "Where are you going?"
"Under the order of General Li, go and ask the brothers in the forbidden garden to strengthen their vigilance!" The guard shouted back, "you must strictly guard the gate of the palace and not let anyone out of the palace, do you hear me clearly?"
The guard was tall, with a loud voice, and a sense of majesty in his tone.This kind of majesty must be possessed by those who often give orders. Moreover, if there are assassins in the palace, the patrol team in the Forbidden Garden must be notified to step up their precautions. This order is also very reasonable, so the guard sergeant did not have the slightest doubt when he heard it, and blurted out: "Obey!"
Immediately afterwards, the palace gate was shut behind these four people.
Xiao Junmo, Chu Lisang, Biancai, and Mi Mancang looked at each other and smiled, and they all let out a long breath.
At the same time that Xiao Junmo and others left Xuanwu Gate, Li Anyan also led people to Ningyun Pavilion.
Looking at the maids and eunuchs who were snoring loudly upstairs and downstairs, as well as the two subordinates who were sleeping soundly at the door, Li Anyan frowned and said nothing.
The Forbidden Garden in the Tang Dynasty covers a vast area, larger than the entire Chang'an City. The garden is densely covered with forests, the terrain is undulating, and the trails are criss-crossing. The terrain is very complicated.This is obviously beneficial to escape, so even though there are many Imperial Army patrols patrolling here, it is not easy to run into them.
Xiao Junmo went back and forth to the Forbidden Garden many times, and he had already figured out a safe route, so he took the three of them to the Yinma Gate in the northeast and hurried all the way.However, what Xiao Junmo never imagined was that when they hurried around a dirt slope, they bumped into a patrol team of the Imperial Army head-on!
This is a small team, with a total of eight people, but they carried a full four lanterns, so when the two sides met each other, they could see each other clearly, and they couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to.Xiao Junmo had no choice but to tell the three of them to be careful in a low voice, and then he bravely went forward and said loudly: "There are assassins in the palace, you have to be more vigilant, cheer me up!"
Taking the lead is Xiao Junmo's consistent tactic.On the way out of the palace just now, he relied on this tactic to fool around, but this time, he miscalculated.
The team of this patrol team is an old imperial guard, over fifty years old, and has a lot of experience.He sized Xiao Junmo up, then quickly turned his gaze to the three people behind him.Chu Lisang and the others quickly lowered their heads.Xiao Junmo secretly groaned, and subconsciously stood in front of Chu Lisang.The team was walking forward, and said with a smile: "These brothers are all new here, why haven't I seen them before?"
Xiao Junmo also smiled calmly: "Brother, this is too loud. The sixteen guards have tens of thousands of people. Have you seen them all?"
"That's true." Dui Zheng sneered, staring at him, "Dare you ask which part you belong to?"
"Zuo Tunwei, General Li Anyan's subordinates."
"General Li's subordinates, why don't you stay at the Xuanwu Gate, what are you doing in the Forbidden Garden?"
"As I said just now, there are assassins in the palace. I have been ordered to come here and inform you to strengthen your vigilance."
"Assassin?! Then I have to cheer up." The captain was talking, tilting his head, his eyes rolled on Chu Lisang, "This brother is so thin and tender, he doesn't look like that at all He's a soldier!"
Xiao Junmo's heart trembled, and he secretly put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and said with a smile: "The nine sons of a dragon are all different, let alone all living beings like me? Do you have to be as rough and thick as the old man to be called a master?" soldiers?"
Du Zheng chuckled, but didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on Chu Lisang's chest.Chu Lisang shrank back subconsciously.Dui Zheng seemed to see something, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.Xiao Junmo saw it and sighed in his heart.He has always been unwilling to kill casually, but right now, it is probably impossible not to kill.
Dui was smiling lewdly, and suddenly shot, grabbing Chu Lisang's chest.
Xiao Junmo's saber came out of its sheath almost at the same time.
The knife flashed, and a severed palm fell to the ground, the fingers were still twitching slightly.The captain was clutching his severed wrist and let out a shrill howl.Chu Lisang also cried out in shock.The seven soldiers behind the team were stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward with their knives drawn.Xiao Junmo fought with a knife, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand fight...
Xuanwu Gate, Li Anyan rushed over with his subordinates, seeing that the palace gate was tightly closed, he hurriedly asked: "Who ordered you to close the palace gate?"
"Just now, four guards came to deliver an order, saying that they were ordered by you." The guard sergeant said.
Li Anyan immediately understood everything: "Where are they?"
"Going out... out of the palace, and went to the Forbidden Garden."
Li Anyan scolded his mother, and said sharply: "Open the door, everyone follow me!"
As soon as Xiao Junmo fought with each other, he cut down two of them, and then fought with the other three.Chu Lisang also dealt with two of them alone.Neither Biancai nor Mi Mancang knew martial arts, so they could only pretend to hold a knife.Duzheng's right hand was chopped off, bleeding profusely, but still holding a knife in his left hand, roaring, staggeringly attacking Biancai and Mi Mancang.In normal times, the two of them would definitely die, but now they are able to deal with the team, so they kept teasing him to run around on the dirt slope, making the team scream out in anger.
After Yue Mo fought for a stick of incense, Xiao Junmo cut down another person, and gradually felt exhausted.
Many wounds on the body have been torn, and blood seeps into the underwear and continuously flows out from the gaps in the armor.Seeing this, the two opponents knew that he was at the end of their strength, so they increased their attack strength and almost succeeded several times.Chu Lisang had also hacked and killed one person at this time. Seeing that Xiao Junmo was in a critical situation, he attacked with all his strength, and finally chopped down the other person in a pool of blood.
Then it became a two-on-two fight.Xiao Junmo's pressure dropped suddenly, so he tried his best to turn the defense into an offense; Chu Lisang had only one opponent, and gradually gained the upper hand.
However, they didn't know that Li Anyan had summoned hundreds of subordinates at this time, divided into ten groups, and launched a large-scale search of the entire Forbidden Garden.He personally led dozens of people and chose one of them to track.And this route is roughly the escape route of Xiao Junmo and others.
At the moment when Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang were fighting with each other, Li Anyan had already chased to the vicinity of the soil slope, and had faintly heard the clang of their swords clashing.
"General, it seems that the assassin was discovered by the patrol!" The deputy next to him said happily.
Li Anyan was expressionless, only waved his hand, and walked quickly towards the slope.
Near the slope, Dui Zheng had passed out in the grass due to excessive blood loss, Biancai and Mi Mancang spared their hands, and hurried over to help Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang.Although the two don't know martial arts, they only distracted the soldiers by harassing them behind them.Soon, Chu Lisang pierced the soldier with a knife, ending the battle.Almost at the same time, Xiao Junmo also exhausted his last bit of strength and slashed and killed his opponent, but he couldn't hold on anymore, and his body shook.Mi Mancang hurriedly supported him.
Seeing that Xiao Junmo was covered in blood, Chu Lisang's eyes were red with anxiety, and he quickly took out a sweat towel to cover his wound.Helplessly, there were too many wounds on his body, bleeding everywhere, and he couldn't cover it at all, Chu Lisang was in a hurry, and tears fell instantly.
Xiao Junmo smiled weakly: "I have a lot of blood, I can't stop bleeding, don't worry."
When Chu Lisang heard this, tears fell even more urgently.
At this moment, hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the other side of the slope, obviously a large group of people came over.The four of them were startled at the same time, and Biancai said urgently: "Quick, you two support Xiao Lang, hurry up and leave!"
Xiao Junmo listened intently, smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late."
Chu Lisang was very worried, and stomped his feet: "Then what should I do?"
Xiao Junmo raised his eyes and found a bush half a person's height on his right, and said, "I can only hide."
Li Anyan finally arrived at Tupo, but saw eight corpses and four lanterns lying on the ground, and Xiao Junmo and others had long since disappeared.
"General, looking at it like this, they must not be able to run far." The deputy said.
Li Anyan looked around by the light of the lantern on the ground, and seemed to sense something, and said, "Tell the brothers to stand by." After speaking, he went straight to the dense grass on the right.
The four of Xiao Junmo hid in the grass, seeing Li Anyan approaching them step by step, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
Suddenly, Xiao Junmo found that Chu Lisang's sweat towel had fallen ten feet away, and instead of falling on the ground, it was hanging on the grass, and he smiled helplessly.At this moment, Chu Lisang also found out, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice that he deserved to die.Xiao Junmo subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife.He realized that today's catastrophe might not be able to escape.
At a distance of three feet away from Xiao Junmo and others, Li Anyan slowly drew out his saber, and then used the saber to draw back and forth in the grass in front of him, walking forward while drawing.After a while, he walked to the place where the sweat towel fell.The four of Xiao Junmo unconsciously held their breath.
Li Anyan suddenly raised her head and looked around, the horizontal knife in her hand touched the sweat towel inadvertently, and then the sweat towel slid down the grass and was never seen again.
Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang looked at each other, not believing that there would be such luck in the world.
Li Anyan stood there for a while, then turned around and strode back.
Xiao Junmo frowned slightly.
He had a vague feeling that Li Anyan seemed a little weird today.He accidentally swept off the blood-stained sweat towel right in front of his eyes. Did he really do it unintentionally?
Li Anyan came back and said to his assistant: "Let's go, there's no one here, go search elsewhere."
The deputy immediately ordered the soldiers to form a team, and then waited for Li Anyan's order.
Li Anyan walked to the corpse of the captain, looked at it, and said to his assistant, "Leave some people and help these brothers collect the corpse."
"Yes."
Li Anyan was about to take a step when she suddenly felt someone grab her ankle. She looked down and was startled.
Due Zheng was still alive, he was holding him tightly with his left hand, then raised the severed hand tremblingly, and pointed to the grass where Xiao Junmo and others were hiding.
Li Anyan was startled, and quickly squatted down, pressed his severed hand as if inadvertently, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry, I will carry you into the palace right away, you won't die."
Dui Zheng's face was as pale as paper, his lips were moving, and he was speaking indistinctly.Li Anyan lay down and put her ear to his mouth.The team was upright and said: "They... hid... in the bushes..."
Li Anyan looked at the captain, smiled unexpectedly, and then quietly covered the captain's nose and mouth with the palm of his right hand.Since he was squatting with his back to his subordinates, no one could see his movements and thought he was listening to the team talking.
Li Anyan was being covered with his mouth and nose, slowly losing his breath, his two eyeballs protruded greatly, staring at Li Anyan in horror and astonishment.On the other hand, Li Anyan kept a smile on his face—this was the calmest and scariest smile that Dui Zheng had ever seen in his life.
Soon, the team's limbs twitched a few times, and then there was no sound at all.
Li Anyan let go of his hand slowly, then stood up, and walked to the deputy as if nothing had happened.
"What did that brother say?" the deputy asked.
Li Anyan sighed: "He said that there is still an eighty-year-old mother at home, let me help take care of it, and I promised him."
"Then is he... dead now?"
"Yes, these are his last words."
Li Anyan led his troops to another direction, leaving only a few people to clean the battlefield.Xiao Junmo and the others quietly left the grass, then entered a forest, and continued heading northeast.At this time, Xiao Junmo was still bleeding, and his face was getting paler and paler.Fortunately, it is not too far from the exit. Chu Lisang and Mi Mancang supported him from left to right. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the four of them finally came to the garden wall near the Yinma Gate. There was a small hole under the wall. , The hole is covered with some dead branches and weeds.
Mi Mancang took out two pre-hidden parcels from the grass next to him, one bulging one was his own, which contained more than [-] ingots of gold that Xiao Junmo had given him one after another, as well as some soft goods he usually saved; One is Xiao Junmo's, which contains "Lanting Collection", wine glass, fire sickle and flint, and some money.Afterwards, Xiao Junmo crawled out of the small hole first, and then Chu Lisang, Biancai, and Mi Mancang also climbed out one after another.
The four looked at each other and smiled with relief.
A thrilling and dangerous rescue operation has finally come to an end.
There is a small forest not far from the entrance of the cave. Xiao Junmo hid four horses in the forest in advance.However, when they came to the place where the horses were originally tied, they found that the horses were all gone.Xiao Junmo was puzzled, and then the four of them searched around again, but there was still no sign of the horse.
"Could it be that you misremembered the place?" Chu Lisang asked.
"Impossible." Xiao Junmo said, "I have been in and out of the Forbidden Garden many times, and I tied the horse here. It is impossible to remember wrongly."
"Maybe it's not fastened?" Biancai said.
Xiao Junmo shook his head.
After thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it was impossible.
"There is only one possibility." Xiao Junmo frowned, "Someone found these horses and took them away."
The other three immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.Although they escaped from Miyagi now and got rid of the danger temporarily, they would be crippled without horses, not to mention that with Xiao Junmo's current physical condition, he couldn't walk far on two legs.At daybreak, the imperial court will definitely launch a large-scale search around the Forbidden Garden, and they still won't be able to escape by then!
When everyone was frowning, a sneer suddenly came from the tree above Xiao Junmo's head: "Brother, it seems that you are still smart, only you guessed it right."
Hearing the sound, Xiao Junmo couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.
Before they could react, a figure jumped down from the tree, and at the same time, a dragon head knife lay across Xiao Junmo's neck.
Chu Lisang took a closer look and found that this person was Huan Dieyi, no wonder his voice was so familiar.
"Dieyi, since you have come here, I won't say much." Xiao Junmo smiled lightly, "Thank you for coming to give me a ride."
A woman's intuition is much more terrifying than Xiao Junmo imagined.As early as when Huan Dieyi went to Yique to catch Chu Lisang, she had already noticed that she was interested in Xiao Junmo, and after returning to Beijing, he felt that Xiao Junmo seemed to have the same feeling in his heart.Afterwards, Huan Dieyi met the eunuch Mi Mancang at Xiao Junmo's home, and became suspicious, thinking that Xiao Junmo might want to enter the palace to see Chu Lisang.Of course, Huan Dieyi didn't notice Xiao Junmo's first entry into the palace. It wasn't until he was injured that he was arguing to go home every day that Huan Dieyi became suspicious again.Therefore, as soon as Xiao Junmo left the palace today, she followed him, and found that he and Mi Mancang met again in Dongshi, so she became more and more convinced that her suspicion was right.After that, she continued to follow Xiao Junmo, and found that he came here with four horses, and she was shocked.
Huan Dieyi thought that Xiao Junmo just wanted to enter the palace to visit Chu Lisang, but he didn't expect that he wanted to save her from the palace!And since there are four horses, it is not difficult to infer that Xiao Junmo also wants to rob Biancai.Thinking of this, Huan Dieyi almost collapsed.She never expected that the smartest, most capable and most promising senior brother in Xuanjiawei would willingly betray the imperial court and give up everything he owned for a woman!
Enraged, Huan Dieyi almost went back to Xuanjiawei to report to his uncle, but in the end he didn't take this step.Because she knew that once she did so, it would not only make it difficult for her uncle, but also kill Xiao Junmo.
So, throughout the night, she has been tangled, suffering, hesitant, and angry in this woods.She asked Xiao Junmo loudly over and over again in her mind: "Why did you do this? Is this woman named Chu Lisang worth the price you paid?!"
At this moment, Huan Dieyi finally yelled out these words, and what followed the words were uncontrollable tears.
"Dieyi, listen to me." Xiao Junmo said helplessly, "There are many reasons why I did this, it's not as simple as you said."
"Stop lying to me!" Huan Dieyi yelled, "You have been lying to me from beginning to end!"
Xiao Jun was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Huan Dieyi in so much pain, Chu Lisang couldn't bear it, and said, "Miss Huan, Xiao Lang's old injury has recurred and he's bleeding a lot. He must seek a doctor right away, or else..."
"I don't care!" Huan Dieyi cried with tears, "It would be best for him to die! I won't feel sorry for him at all!" Having said that, there were obviously more tears than before.
"Miss Huan, if you are really angry, just give me a knife." Chu Lisang said sincerely, "Xiao Lang gave his life to save our father and daughter this time out of good intentions, not what you think."
"Don't think that I dare not kill you!" Huan Dieyi said bitterly, "It's all because of you, you are the one who killed senior brother!"
Chu Lisang nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, I was the one who killed him, so come at me."
Huan Dieyi snorted coldly, flipped his wrist, and rushed towards Chu Lisang with the knife in his hand.Xiao Junmo wanted to stop her, but he couldn't stand still, so Mi Mancang hurried over to support her.
Seeing that the dragon head knife was about to stab Chu Lisang, Biancai stepped forward to block it, and the blade pierced into his right chest. Fortunately, he was wearing armor, so the stab was not deep, but blood still gushed out.Chu Lisang called Dad, hurriedly covered Biancai's wound with his hands, tears welled up in his eyes, and then helped him sit down against a tree trunk.
Huan Dieyi was impulsive in a fit of rage, but in fact he didn't dare to kill Chu Lisang, but now that he saw that he had hurt the debaters, he was dumbfounded and dropped his hands powerlessly.
"Huan Dieyi!" Chu Lisang was angry, and stared at her coldly, "I remember, we still have an unfinished agreement, so let's conclude it today!"
Huan Dieyi's fighting spirit was once again aroused by this sentence, and he immediately swung his knife across: "Okay, today is the day, come on!"
Chu Lisang also slowly drew out the horizontal knife.
The weapons intersected, and the two women were killed in a blink of an eye.Xiao Junmo tried his best to stop them, but he was too weak to speak.Mi Mancang looked at him, almost crying with anxiety.At this moment, the shouts of soldiers from the Forbidden Army came from the Forbidden Garden.Chu Lisang was distracted for a moment, Huan Dieyi's knife had stabbed her in the chest.At the very moment, a silver needle flew out of the dark woods and hit Huan Dieyi's neck in an instant.Huan Dieyi staggered, covered his neck with his hands, staggered, and immediately fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.
Before they figured out what was going on, a few black figures walked towards them not far away.Chu Lisang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, slashing the knife across: "Who is coming?"
"Everyone, don't panic!" A dark figure said in a deep voice, "This old man is here to help you."
Xiao Junmo was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.
It's him? !
But how could he appear in this place at such a time?
But seeing those black shadows walking up to Xiao Junmo and standing still a few steps away, it was true that it was Wei Zheng who came.
Although Xiao Junmo is weak, his mind is still clear.He quickly reviewed Li Anyan's various abnormal actions tonight, and suddenly realized that Wei Zheng had already seen through everything, so he ordered Li Anyan to secretly help them escape!
In fact, when Xiao Junmo bid farewell to Wei Zheng that day, saying that he was going on a long trip, Wei Zheng had already guessed that he might want to rescue Biancai, and immediately ordered Li Anyan to investigate secretly.Soon, Li Anyan discovered that Mi Mancang frequently entered and exited the Forbidden Garden, acting strangely, so he investigated the garden wall of the Forbidden Garden by himself, found a small hole near the Yinma Gate, and reported it to Wei Zheng.Knowing that it was difficult to stop Xiao Junmo, Wei Zheng also wanted to prevent the emperor from pursuing the secret of "Lanting Preface", so he decided to secretly help Xiao Junmo rescue Biancai.Thus, there were all kinds of abnormal actions that Li Anyan called to hunt down tonight, but in fact to protect.
At the beginning, Li Anyan pretended to go to Ningyun Pavilion to search for a full warehouse. The purpose was actually to find out Xiao Junmo's plan so that he could cooperate with him as much as possible.When he noticed that the shortbread that the court lady ate was drugged, and noticed that there were some wine and vegetables downstairs, he immediately understood Xiao Junmo's intentions, and immediately left two soldiers in Ningyun Pavilion.In fact, these two people are his capable subordinates in the organization, and the task he arranged for them is to ensure that Chu Lisang can escape smoothly.Therefore, even if Chu Lisang didn't take the initiative to go downstairs to ask everyone to drink, the two of them would invite the eunuchs to drink at the right time.Seeing that Chu Lisang took the initiative to attack, they followed suit and drank the wine toasted by her.Afterwards, the two pretended to be fascinated, but in fact they kept observing in secret. It was not until Xiao Junmo brought Biancai to Ningyun Pavilion to rescue Chu Lisang that their mission was completed.
After Li Anyan left Ningyun Pavilion, she hurried to Foguang Temple, also to cooperate with Xiao Junmo's actions.When the two sides met on the way, Li Anyan actually recognized Xiao Junmo and Biancai at a glance, but pretended to be fooled and hurriedly passed them.Afterwards, Li Anyan bluffed again and sent a large number of people to search the Forbidden Garden, with the sole purpose of paying the emperor a favor.In fact, he had already deduced Xiao Junmo's escape route from the small hole near Yinma Gate, so he personally led the team to search this way.
Later, when Xiao Junmo and others were hiding in the grass in the Forbidden Garden, Li Anyan deliberately removed the blood-stained sweat towel, and finally killed the team leader ruthlessly, and took the team to another direction. Only then did Xiao Junmo and others escape safely...
At this moment, Xiao Junmo and Wei Zheng met each other's eyes, and then they looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.
"Teacher, thank you for everything you have done." Xiao Junmo said, "This junior will remember it in his heart."
Wei Zheng waved his hand: "Nephew, you are serious. What you have done is actually what I want to do. In this regard, we are on the same path, so there is no need to thank you."
At this time, Chu Lisang came over with Biancai supported.Biancai looked at Wei Zheng for a while, and seemed to understand in his heart, he cupped his hands and said, "I have heard about Wei Taishi's name for a long time, and today I finally meet him in person, what a great honor!"
Wei Zheng was solemn, and bowed deeply to the debater: "My subordinate is Linchuan Wei Zheng, and I have seen the Zuo envoy."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Junmo and Chu Lisang were a little surprised.
Xiao Junmo thought for a while, and immediately felt relieved: Since Biancai has followed Zhiyong, the leader of the Heavenly Punishment League for many years, he is his right-hand man, so it is only reasonable for him to be the left envoy of the Heavenly Punishment League.
Biancai smiled lightly and said, "Grand Master Wei doesn't need to be strict with etiquette. Ever since my predecessor gave the order of 'sleep' to the alliance, I am no longer a leftist envoy, I can only be regarded as an outsider."
At this time, the noise of the drums in the Forbidden Garden became louder, and it seemed that someone had discovered the small hole under the wall of the garden.Everyone was stunned.Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Zuo, my subordinates have brought a few people here. They are all loyal and capable brothers. Let them escort you."
Xiao Junmo heard the words, and then looked at the strong men behind Wei Zheng, and found that they were actually the tea doctor and the staff of Wangchuan Tea House.
Biancai waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, grand master. The poor monk wants to do a few private matters, and it would be inconvenient if there are too many people."
Wei Zheng heard the implication, knowing that Biancai didn't want people to know his whereabouts, so he stopped insisting, and immediately ordered his men to go down and bring the four horses hidden by Huan Dieyi.At this moment, Chu Lisang lifted Huan Dieyi from the ground and let her lean against a tree.Xiao Junmo looked at the unconscious Huan Dieyi with worry in his eyes.
"Nephew, don't worry." Wei Zheng said to Xiao Junmo, "Miss Huan was only slightly affected by the Ecstasy Powder, she was not injured, and she will wake up in a while."
Xiao Junmo nodded and said nothing.At this time, the horse had been brought over, and he took another look at Huan Dieyi before he got on the horse with the help of Mi Mancang.
After the four of them said how much they cherished each other with Wei Zheng, they patted their horses and galloped eastward along the Weishui River.Wei Zheng watched them leave all the time, and then led his men back into the woods.
Several wounds on Xiao Junmo's body were still bleeding.His face was pale, his expression was painful, and he gradually slowed down.
When the four of them drove out of the woods, Xiao Junmo had obviously fallen behind.
Chu Lisang noticed that as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Junmo's head hooked down, his body softened, and he fell off the horse...
In the woods, Huan Dieyi woke up in a daze, and found that there was no one around him.She smiled wryly, shook her head, then got up, stumbled and ran towards the mount.
Under the starry night sky, four horses are galloping on the Longshou Plain.
Chu Lisang rode one with Xiao Junmo in his arms, Biancai and Mi Mancang each rode one, and the rein of the other was pulled into Mi Mancang's hand.
Behind them, on a high hill far away, Huan Dieyi was standing on his horse with tears in his eyes.
Huan Dieyi couldn't stop crying as she watched the black spots gradually disappearing on the horizon.She knew that Xiao Junmo would never be able to return to Chang'an, but she didn't know where Xiao Junmo would go, let alone whether she would see him again in this life.
Xiao Junmo was bumping on the horse, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was dead.
No one noticed, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye and fell into the dust of Longshouyuan.
