Everyone couldn't help being shocked and followed the sound, only to see Lian Ji's beautiful eyes staring at Li Jiangyao fiercely, and said angrily: "You Li Jiangyao, you have deceived this girl for so long! It turns out that you treat Li Jiangyao every night You are looking at me sweetly and tenderly on the surface, but in your heart you are full of ulterior plots! Are you tired?!"
It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with what Lian Ji said, and the facts are almost as she said. However, to everyone's ears, it has another ambiguous meaning.
What's "facing me every night", what's "tender as water", what's "are you tired", it arouses endless reverie.
Although Li Jiangyao was a little stunned, Murong Xue, Rui Ji, Xiao Wu and others looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.
"Do you know each other?" Murong Xue and Rui Ji asked in unison.
Li Jiangyao laughed dryly: "Haha, um... we know each other."
"Bah!" Lian Ji spat again and said angrily: "What do you mean by acquaintance?! In your opinion, living together every day from Liangzhou to Luoyi is just acquaintance? Let me ask you, we get along day and night. After so long, why didn't you tell me earlier that you and your brother-in-law Murong Xue were good brothers? Why did you hang out with the people from Beiya Nilin Division and secretly plot against me? I still treat you like this in vain Well, thinking about being with you for the rest of my life is really... really irritating..." As she said this, she had tears in her eyes and was almost crying.
Murong Xue thought to herself: In the current situation, Jiang Yao probably deceived my sister-in-law about her body and feelings. Otherwise, how could Xiaolian be so sad? The girl said these words in front of the public, and Jiang Yao didn't refute, so that's probably what happened.
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up to smooth things over and came to the rescue for Li Jiangyao: "Sister Xiaolian, don't be anxious first. Listen to my brother-in-law's advice. Although my brother is usually a bit free and uninhibited, he still values love and justice. , I will definitely be responsible for you, don’t worry..."
"Relax your big-headed ghost's heart!" Li Jiangyao reacted and stopped Murong Xue from continuing: "Miss Lianji, we don't speak secretly. You and I belong to different camps, so our positions are different. Just because We all want to save people, so we have the opportunity to travel together. To be honest, until now, I still can't classify you as one of my own. Of course, you can't be regarded as an enemy. So..."
Lian Ji said angrily: "So what?!"
Li Jiangyao sighed helplessly: "Oh, so... you and your sister can leave now."
"How can that be done?!" Murong Xue and Rui Ji said in unison beside them.
Murong Xue was greatly surprised: "Jiang Yao, what do you mean? We are still in danger now, how can I leave Rui Ji and let the sisters leave at risk?"
Rui Ji also said: "Brother Li, wherever my husband goes, I will go, and I will never abandon you!"
Li Jiangyao had expected this reaction from them. There is currently no solid evidence to identify Rui Ji as Lao Jianhua's spy, so the words just mentioned were just casual remarks to test them.
"Well, it was my fault," Li Jiangyao said calmly: "After all, we are not out of danger yet, so there is no need to waste time talking about this. You follow my arrangements, Nilin Division will be responsible for escorting you out of the Eastern Capital and back to the court as soon as possible. sphere of influence.”
"That's very good." Murong Xue took advantage of Ni Linsi's spies to deal with the guards, and nodded: "We should put the overall situation first and protect the prince's safety first. Rui Gua'er, please also advise my little sister, what's the matter? , let’s wait until we get through this before we talk about it slowly.”
Rui Ji nodded, pulled Lian Ji and whispered softly. While listening, Lian Ji bit her lower lip tightly, obviously still angry. When her sister finished speaking, she stretched out her hand towards Li Jiangyao: "Give me back the weapon first!"
Li Jiangyao thought for a while, for Lian Ji's skills, unless she was really tied up tightly, it would not matter whether she was given a weapon or not. So, he didn't hesitate and nodded to Xiao Wu.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly took the dagger and dart bag from his subordinates and handed them back to Lian Ji.
Li Jiangyao turned to Murong Xue and said, "Time is running out. The Xuanjia Army will be here at any time. Let's set off immediately!"
After that, he took the lead and led everyone quickly out of the small building and all the way to the gate of the guardhouse. At this time, there were already more than a dozen spies dressed as Xuanjia Army waiting here.
Xiao Wu waved to say hello, and the spies from Nilin Division moved quickly and carried Prince Li Bing into the carriage prepared in advance, then closed the door tightly and lowered the curtains on both sides.
Li Jiangyao and the others got on their horses, raised their whips, and marched toward the city gate in a mighty manner. In less than a cup of hot tea, everyone arrived at Guangyi Gate in the west of Luoyi. Ouyang Qili, the chief instructor of the Nilin Division, personally led his troops and made a surprise surprise attack here half an hour ago. At this time, he had already taken control of the city gate.
Seeing them appear, Ouyang Qili stepped forward quickly: "Is it done?"
Li Jiangyao made a success gesture on his horse, and then asked: "How is the situation outside the city? Have you been contacted?"
Ouyang Qili knew that the prince had successfully escaped from trouble, and he could not conceal his joy, and reported loudly: "Reporting to your lord, Chang Xiong and his flying cavalry are waiting outside the city, ready to escort him at any time!"
"Okay!" Li Jiangyao nodded with satisfaction, turned to Murong Xue and said, "Brother, I can only send you here."
"You won't come with us?" Murong Xue was very surprised.
Li Jiangyao smiled slightly: "Although the chaos in Luoyi City disrupted the Xuanjia Army to a certain extent. However, they were able to quickly react from the chaos and organize forces to pursue. Therefore, I must stay and delay the enemy. This way Only then will His Royal Highness have a chance to escape safely."
"Brother," Rui Ji said worriedly from the side: "You should come with us. This place is too dangerous. If you stay, my husband and I will not be able to bear it."
Li Jiangyao smiled at her and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, brother and sister. I'm used to fighting in the army, so this danger is nothing. Your husband has the responsibility to protect you, and he is worried about your safety, otherwise he would also not care. Hesitant to stay behind, right?"
Murong Xue nodded firmly: "Jiang Yao, take care!"
"Come on, don't worry!" Li Jiangyao waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The soldiers and horses of Beiya Nilin Division obeyed the order, and then guarded the prince's carriage and followed Murong Xue and others out of the city.
Looking at the team gradually walking away, spy Luo Jiankun whispered: "Sir, let's continue to play monkey?"
"That's right!" Li Jiangyao glanced at the backs of the team with a meaningful look: "Keep playing monkey."
After that, he roared, took the remaining dozen or so men, turned around and rode towards the city.

"You bastard! Are you all good at it? You're just dragging your feet!" Xie Bao sat on the dark cloud cone and collided the two big copper hammers in his hands, which made a deafening sound. He cursed angrily: "Those weaklings in Xiangzhou don't even have the slightest bit of urine!"
The general under his command ran forward and answered with his hands raised: "Commander Bao, the battlefield has been cleaned and the situation has been calculated. In this battle, our army killed a total of more than 2,100 enemy soldiers and captured 4,700." There are more than fifty people, and all the others have broken up and fled. I have sent three lines of cavalry and are continuing the pursuit."
Xie Bao was quite dissatisfied and muttered: "Running faster than a rabbit is not enough! It's not enough!"
The men standing around were about to praise the general, when they suddenly saw a fast horse galloping in the distance. Instead of blocking it, the guards on guard moved out of the way.
When the war horse rushed forward, everyone saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Di Xian, a member of the Xuanjia Legion's Sima and Yu Lin Zhonglang general.
Xie Bao couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Huh? Xiao Di, you are not watching the prince in the palace, why are you here?"
"Brother Bao, you are as smart as you, but you still can't figure out why I'm here?" Di Xian said sarcastically.
Xie Bao didn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's words at all, and laughed to himself: "Hahaha, you are playing riddles and talking in circles with Mr. Bao again, right? Come on, come on, come and take a look. In less than half an hour, it's a full ten thousand Five thousand Xiangzhou soldiers were all crushed by me, Mr. Bao..."
Di Xian interrupted him angrily: "The prince was snatched away."
"... He was killed like a beast, hahaha, how about it..." Xie Bao's face suddenly froze, and he said in surprise: "What did you just say? Who was robbed?"
"Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Li Bing! Li Bing was snatched away by people from Nilin Division."
Xie Bao was shocked and stunned: "When did it happen? Why didn't you send someone to chase it? Why didn't you intercept it?!"
De I don't dare to leave my post without permission without your order. Brother, I have no choice but to come to see you, Mr. Bao Shuai."
"Laozi! Could it be that they fell into their trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Xie Bao finally came to his senses.
Di Xian looked calm: "Judging from the current situation, it should be so."
Xie Bao couldn't help but roar, and launched a nameless fire at Di Xian: "Di Xian, you idiot! Aren't you usually quite smart? Aren't you still called Little Zhuge of the Black Armor Army? What Zhuge, I see you It’s a pig head! Damn it, why do you have diarrhea and collapse at the critical moment? I have delayed my adoptive father’s important event, so I have to punish you!"
Di Xian sat on his horse and looked at Xie Bao with an expressionless expression. He waited until his mood calmed down a little before he said, "Brother Bao, we are ants tied to the same rope now." Grasshopper, no one can escape if the prince is to be held accountable. So, don’t blame me. The plan for now is to quickly send troops to snatch the prince back."
"Snatch it back? How to grab it?" Xie Bao's eyes widened and he said angrily: "He has already disappeared without a trace!"
Di Xian shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. When Nilin Division was robbing people just now, I secretly hid in the dark and carefully observed their whereabouts. I don't know why, but Li Bing seemed to be in a coma. It is very inconvenient, and we can only take a carriage when escaping. According to this calculation, they cannot be too fast. They left from Guangyi Gate and have not reached Qingshan Town yet. If we move quickly, the cavalry will catch up all night. If you don’t light up, you can catch it.”
