There are ten people in the team, plus two coachmen, and five secret guards, a total of seventeen people.
Li Junxian led five people on the other side to charge forward on horseback. They were all elite members of the Xuanjia Army. Although they did not have heavy armor, their ability to charge into the formation on horseback was not something that ordinary Xiaoxiao could resist.
The normal situation is like this, and the five people secretly will not show up easily, so they should call for help and report the news as soon as possible, so Li Junxian is not panicked. But now they are well prepared to deal with the princess, so they cannot use common sense to infer.
For example, in this round of charging, the five opponents moved sideways and dodged like ghosts. Only Li Junxian fought with the thin bamboo pole to repel the opponent.
Three of the other four were knocked off their horses, and another was stabbed in the arm.
After reining in his horse and turning around, Li Junxian turned over and dismounted. He glanced back at his brothers who had also dismounted and prepared to fight on foot. Then he stared at the thin bamboo pole and asked, "Who are you? The people do not fight against the officials. The rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty are never green. Dare to antagonize the imperial court."
Shou Zhugan burst out laughing, "I didn't expect you, a little guard, to be quite capable. Can you take a move from me? Since we knew we were well prepared, it certainly wasn't because we didn't understand the rules. To tell you the truth, We are here for Xiao Rui. The Turkic Jieli Khan has offered a reward of 10,000 gold for Xiao Rui's head."
Li Junxian suddenly realized, "So that's it. Let me put it this way, you want to capture the little princess and threaten the prince-in-law. It's so shameless. The overlord of the grassland, Jie Li, actually also committed kidnapping and assassination. Bah!"
"Huh, just you guys? This is in the Tang Dynasty, next to Chang'an, at the feet of the emperor. You want to kidnap the princess? I'm not afraid to tell you that you will be surrounded by a large army in less than an hour or three."
Shou Zhugan and the others were confident, and said with a smile: "Since we dare to ambush, of course we are well prepared. Are you counting on the five guards to report the news in secret? It's useless, not even a fly can escape here today. "
The driver of the car was shaken, and he quickly turned his head and looked around, but there was no one there. It was obvious that the secret guard had also been poisoned.
Li Junxian saw the coachman's expression and knew the result, and his heart felt heavy.
"With this general here, you and Xiaoxiao will not be able to succeed today. Kill!"
After saying that, he attacked the thin bamboo pole with his sword, and the two soon fought each other. Li Junxian's fighting style is fierce and majestic on the battlefield, but the thin bamboo pole is the vicious and sinister trick of the killer. Li Junxian's strength is not bad, but there is still a gap between him and the thin bamboo pole. But at this time, he actually used the method of injury to fight with the opponent to a draw, which surprised the thin bamboo pole.
"Such a skill is not an ordinary guard. The emperor really loves this princess and sent you to protect her personally."
"There are still many things you don't know." A sneer came from behind him. It was the driver who was driving the car. He was also a well-known master. He had been holding back for a long time, just waiting for such an opportunity.
Obviously, as long as he takes down the thin bamboo pole with the highest skill, he may be able to break this crisis.
Therefore, he and Li Junxian had a tacit understanding of support until now. Even if all ten Xuanjia brothers around him were sacrificed, he could not bear to move.
But at this moment, a figure flew out from the side and slapped away the driver's sword that was sure to hit him.
Li Junxian fought hard with a serious injury, forced the thin bamboo pole back, and rushed over to catch the coachman. Unfortunately, the coachman was sneak attacked by an old man in black, and he was beaten to pieces in all his internal organs. Before he died, he pointed at the carriage.
Putting down his robe, Li Junxian looked angrily at the man in black who jumped out, and asked in a cold voice: "You hidden rat, there are only a handful of people in the Central Plains with such skill, who are you?"
The thin bamboo pole was sweating profusely and almost got wet. He cupped his hands in front of the old man and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for taking the initiative."
The old man glanced at Li Junxian calmly, then turned to look at the serious-faced Xiao Changle on the carriage, and slowly took off his cloak, revealing his true face.
Xiao Changle exclaimed: "Is it you? You are a bald monk from Shaolin Temple!"
Shaolin Temple? Li Junxian understood, it turned out to be a remnant of the Shaolin Temple. No wonder, I heard that the Shaolin Temple was destroyed by angry Luoyang people not long ago, and the monks in the temple fled to death and were injured. It was very miserable. Unexpectedly, such a great master survived.
Alas... It seems that every drink and every peck are cause and effect. The Prince Consort succeeded in destroying the Buddha, but he also brought about a fatal disaster for himself.
The old monk was none other than Monk Tan Zong, the leader of the Thirteen Stick Monks and the number one master in Shaolin.
After experiencing the pain of Chang'an and his party, as well as the destruction of Shaolin Temple, Monk Tanzong had long given up the idea of luck and saw clearly that everything was driven by the emperor behind his back. The so-called kindness of the Thirteen Stick Monk, haha, has long been useless.
Nowadays, he is not a Shaolin Tanzong, but a living dead bent on revenge.
Looking at the familiar figure on the carriage, Monk Tanzong said with emotion: "Little princess, we meet again. I think I have been walking around the world for decades, but I actually made a big mistake on a little girl like you. You are really amazing. Yes. Did Xiao Rui teach you that?"
Xiao Changle was not afraid, but instead chuckled, "Hey, you bald head is so stupid. I lied to you and you still need to be taught by my brother-in-law? It's very simple."
I……
Are you so venomous at a young age? The old monk obviously didn't react.
Li Junxian protected Xiao Changle and said vigilantly: "Princess, be careful, I will risk my life to delay him later, you, you try to see if you can escape."
Xiao Changle took off the sachet from his waist and handed it to Li Junxian, "Here you go, in the worst case we will all be poisoned and sleep together."
The old monk smiled slightly: "Little baby, do you think I didn't prevent you from poisoning me again?"
As he spoke, his body fluttered and he crossed the river with a reed. In an instant, he came to Li Junxian and snatched the sachet with his hands.
Li Junxian stared blankly at his empty left hand, then looked at Xiao Changle apologetically.
Xiao Changle stuck out his tongue, "He, is he really an old man? How come he runs so fast?"
Li Junxian said dejectedly: "Princess, the general is incompetent. The enemy is too strong. I am afraid that the only opponents are the Prince Consort and Senior Hongxia."
The short man laughed and said: "What a born slave, he is so groveling to a little girl. Bah! It's embarrassing for a warrior."
Unexpectedly, Xiangcheng's voice came from the carriage, "General, there is no need to blame yourself. Since they are coming for your husband, we will not be in danger. You can run away quickly and ask for help."
Li Junxian knelt down on one knee, "Xuanjia Army would rather die than escape!"
The dwarf asked in surprise: "What? There is someone else in the carriage? Listen to this voice, is it also a princess?"
Thin Bamboo Gan suddenly realized it and said in surprise: "There is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. It's Xiao Rui's wife, Princess Xiangcheng. Haha, I'm not afraid that he won't come out now."
Princess Xiangcheng walked out of the carriage. Little Changle worriedly went over and pulled her sister's sleeve, "Sister, hide behind me."
Princess Xiangcheng glanced at everyone present, and finally her eyes rested on the old monk, "Changle and I cooperated with you to get you kidnapped, so you let General Li go."
"Don't even think about it! This person has seen our true colors, and it is absolutely impossible to let him go!" Several other people wanted to take action.
But the old monk reached out to stop him, nodded and agreed: "We only need Xiao Rui. After all, we have to find someone to report the news, so let him go."
"senior……"
The old monk said seriously: "You go back and tell the emperor and Xiao Rui that in five days, we will have a fair fight with Xiao Rui on Shaoshi Mountain, in front of the destroyed mountain gate of Shaolin Temple. If Xiao Rui wins, return his family home. Otherwise, we will have a fair fight with Xiao Rui." If you do, everyone will die."
Li Junxian said angrily: "Only you? Are you worthy enough to fight against the Prince Consort? What kind of bullshit is a fair fight? Are six of you fighting one?"
But who can reason with him at this time?
Half an hour later, Li Junxian, who was covered in injuries, rolled down on horseback at the gate of the imperial city, and was carried to the Tai Chi Hall. "Your Majesty, your Majesty, help me, something happened..."
