Chu Dang led Li Ran to the city gate, but at this time the city gate was also a little messy.
The guards stopped several carriages that Owl Wing had released earlier, and Chu Dang and Li Ran took advantage of the chaos to approach the city gate. Chu Dang didn't care about his injury, he cut off the door bolt, suddenly raised the door bolt, and opened the city gate.
When the guard saw this, he immediately scolded him and several soldiers rushed over. Although they did not get Zhao Wu's instructions, they saw that the city gate was opened by one person with brute force.
For such unauthorized actions, no matter who it is, it is an unpardonable crime.
Chu Tang turned around and saw that the spears of the soldiers were already thrusting towards Li Ran. In order to help Li Ran out of the city, the weapon in his hand became a burden. In desperation, he threw the big halberd in his hand, and with a few puffs, it hit three soldiers.
At the same time, Chu Dang also lost his weapons. He stepped forward to hug Li Ran and was about to leave the city, but saw that the dozens of killers dressed as Yi Di who had been led away by Owl Wings just now also came here.
When Li Ran saw them, his heart sank. When he took a closer look, his heart was split with fear. He saw Owl Wing's body being dragged by one of their horses. He was furious and overly sad, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. out.
These killers had no scruples and came to take Li Ran's life. Chu Dang had no weapons in his hand to fight, and was seriously injured. Seeing that the two of them were about to die from random swords, suddenly there was a cry of killing outside the city, and a group of people came to kill them.
As soon as this group of people entered the city gate, they immediately dismounted, took off their weapons, and fought directly with those people.
This team consisted of no more than a hundred people, but they acted uniformly and swiftly, advancing and retreating at a measured pace, and quickly surrounded the killers. In the blink of an eye, those killers had been killed with swords.
Just because these people were wearing black clothes, it was hard to tell who they were. At this time, a young man came to Li Ran and bowed his hands.
"The last general, Han Buxin, pays homage to Li Taishi! Please also ask Li Taishi to leave the city with the last general!"
Li Ran suddenly realized that this person was the son of Han Xu, the leader of the Han clan.
And the Han family had always been on good terms with the Zhao family, so it was not surprising that Han Buxin arrived in time.
Knowing that he was probably entrusted by Zhao Yang, Li Ran took another look at Owl Wing's body not far away.
Han Buxin followed Li Ran's gaze. Although he didn't understand the situation, he instantly understood what Li Ran meant.
"Sir, do you want to take back that man's body?"
Li Ran nodded, and Han Buxin immediately sent ten people to mount their horses, led the team himself, rushed to Owl Wing's body, and grabbed him onto the horse.
Then he turned around again. At this time, the guards from Handan also rushed here. Han Buxin made a prompt decision and ordered him to retreat.
The hundreds of riders mounted their horses and evacuated. Li Ran and Chu Dang also mounted a horse and drove away from Handan City at a rapid speed.
After running for more than ten miles, Han Buxin asked people to slow down their horses and put people on guard around them.
Li Ran was able to take a break and looked at Owl Wing's body beside him, which was now a lake of flesh and blood. He was obviously hacked to death with random knives and dragged by horses. It was really horrific.
Li Ran didn't care about anything else, he hugged Owl Wing's body and cried bitterly.
He and Owl Yi were brothers. They had been dependent on each other for more than 20 years since they escaped from Wang Ji. Li Ran never dared to imagine that he and Owl Yi would be separated from each other.
Han Buxin stood aside and didn't know how to comfort him. Chu Dang lost too much blood and could not get up. Han Buxin's soldiers bandaged him. Although Chu Dang was seriously injured, when he saw Li Ran holding Owl Wing's body and crying bitterly, he also said bitterly:
"Sir... I will definitely avenge this!"
Only then did Han Buxin find an opening and stepped forward to persuade him:
"Taishi, please have your condolences. We are not out of trouble yet. It is best to take a breath and leave here first, and then bury this righteous man."
Li Ran stopped crying. He thought that Owl Yi had been homeless since he was a child. Later, he followed him around and had no fixed place. Now that Owl Yi has died, he thought that he wanted to give him a safe burial, so he ordered it. nod.
Li Ran and others were on the road again. Han Buxin and Li Ran walked side by side and talked about the reason for the incident.
It turned out that Dong Anyu received a letter from Li Ran. He knew that the Zhao family in Handan had already been in collusion with Fan Yang, and was also alienated from their Zhao family. He knew that Li Ran's act was very dangerous.
So, he immediately advised Zhao Yang to write a letter to Han Buxin, who was building a city in Pingyang, and asked him to lead his troops to Handan to rescue Li Ran.
By the way, you can also escort Li Ran back to Yunyi and ask him to go to Yunyi to solve the crisis of Lu Houchou.
Zhao Yang also knew that his army was in Jinyang and it would be too late to go to Handan, so he adopted Dong Anyu's strategy.
By the way, Han Buxin and Zhao Yang are brothers of the same age. Therefore, when he received the letter, he immediately informed his father and immediately led Pingyang's division to Handan.
At this time, Zhao Wu stopped Han Buxin outside the city, and also concealed Li Ran's situation in the city from him.
In fact, Zhao Wu did not even report to Zhao Yang that Li Ran was in Handan, but secretly reported to Fan Yang. Fan Yang's reply was that he could take this opportunity to kill Li Ran directly to avoid future troubles.
After Zhao Wu received the instruction, he immediately started planning. However, given Li Ran's status, he didn't want to get into trouble. So, he came up with the idea of dressing up as Yi Di to rob Li Ran, and then killed Li Ran, and then blamed Yi Di for the incident.
Moreover, after Zhao Wu saw Han Buxin leading his team, he basically guessed his intention. Therefore, he deliberately sent someone to "reveal" to Han Buxin the location of Li Ran's next official post after leaving Handan.
Han Buxin didn't know it was a trick, so he went there with his soldiers, but found that they were in vain.
Seeing this, Han Buxin knew that he had fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and secretly felt that something was not good, so he immediately rushed back to Handan with Baiqi. Fortunately, he arrived in time and rescued Li Ran.
In order not to have a direct conflict with the Handan Zhao family, Han Buxin's troops also deliberately dressed up.
And Zhao Wu naturally did not want to bear the crime of killing Taishi Luoyi. so. The two sides only fought each other, and then they both retreated "very wisely".
It's a pity that Owlwing died for the savior. Han Buxin felt quite sorry for this.
Li Ran suppressed his grief and anger, and bowed his hands to Han Buxin and said:
"The general could have stayed out of the matter, but now he has to follow me to Yunyi. I wonder if it will bring trouble to the general family?"
Han Buxin heard this question, waved his hand and said:
"Tai Shi, don't worry. I have made an agreement with the six ministers, 'You will order your ministers, and the person who caused the disaster will die, and the book will be placed in the river.' And my Han family also has a city near Yunyi, and our Han family will be stationed there." The troops in Yunyi should be safe. And Fan Yang has absolutely no reason to accuse our Han family for this!" (Translation: The king and ministers issued an order that the first person to cause trouble must die. This is written in Hehe the oath.)
"On the contrary, this move may be able to isolate the connection between the Fan family and the Ji family. That's why Zhifu asked the last general to come to meet Mr. Zhifu. In fact, he has already considered it before coming to Zhifu's side!"
Indeed, Yunyi is not far from the Fan family's territory. If it colludes with the Ji family, Yunyi will become more dangerous. But if the Han army is stationed in Yunyi, it will not be so easy for the Fan family to cause trouble.
Li Ran also thought that this move was indeed a good one, so he and Han Buxin went to the Han family camp to meet up with the army he led.
Later, Li Ran bought a coffin and a coffin nearby, hoping to lay the owl's wings to rest.
But after a second thought, he decided to bury Owl Wings in Yunyi.
So, Li Ran bought some more ice cubes, put Owl Wing's body into the coffin, and put ice cubes underneath. Pulled by a carriage, they headed towards Yunyi with the Han army.
Li Ran felt very depressed every time he looked back at the coffin. As for Chu Dang, even though his body recovered very quickly, he was now wilted and looked downcast.
