Due to Wuriyeti's block, the power of the Liuyun Sword was exhausted. Shao Xi had no choice but to take the Liuyun Sword back to his waist and continue to chase in the direction of Wuriyeti.
Upon seeing this, Long Qitai also chased after Shao Xi. The two of them formed a cornering force and blocked Wu Riyetti's escape route.
At this time, Old Wu had climbed up from the roof and followed the two of them, but he didn't dare to go any further. He is the only weak link among the three sides of the siege, and it has lost its effect now. If he moves forward, it will cause chaos for the two people in front.
Having seen Shao Xi and Wu Riye having a lively fight before, Long Chitai also felt itchy at this moment, so he winked at Shao Xi.
When Shao Xi saw his expression, he understood clearly. He raised the folding fan in his hand and swept out another air blade horizontally, blocking Wu Riyetti's dodge routes, forcing him not to change direction.
When Long Chitai saw Shao Xi sweeping away with one move, he then followed up with a vertical slash.
I saw a sharp sword strike that followed closely behind Shao Xi's air blade. The horizontal and vertical lines formed a cross, and all the dodge routes left, right, up and down were blocked.
Wuriyeti was already in a very awkward situation when facing Shao Xi alone, but now he was joined by Long Qitai. Facing the two flying vitality blades, he was unable to parry or dodge. He was forced to give up. The thought of escaping by leaping from the roof led to him sinking to the ground.
As soon as he landed, the Dali Temple patrol officers pouring out from various streets and alleys rushed towards him. Without any time to think, they raised their legs and ran towards the south city wall.
At this time, what I was thinking about was no longer whether I could escape, but whether I could escape was a matter of time. Let's run first.
Shao Xi and Long Chitai did not fall from the roof to the ground. Instead, they continued to climb over the roof from the left and right sides and chase forward. The purpose was to suppress all the paths for Wuriyeti to climb up to the roof again, so that he could only follow the path. He continued to flee southward in the direction of the streets.
Just when Wuriyeti was about to flee to the south city wall, Long Chitai suddenly stopped, inserted his fingers into his mouth and made a long whistle.
Following this whistle, several rows of armored soldiers flashed out from the end of the street.
At the front of the line are shield soldiers holding shields in their left hands and straight swords in their right hands. Behind them are a row of spear soldiers holding the spear points in their hands in front of their shields. Countless crossbowmen emerged.
All of these soldiers were wearing armor and well-equipped. It was obvious at a glance that they could not be patrolmen of Dali Temple, but at this time, Shao Xi had no time to think too much and just ran in that direction.
Seeing that the way forward had been blocked and there were crossbowmen on the roof, Iriyeti turned around and was about to run back when he saw a huge snare falling from the sky.
More than a dozen soldiers jumped down from the roof with a net in hand, trapping him firmly in it.
Just when he was about to struggle again, more than a dozen soldiers had surrounded him, with the tips of knives, spears, and crossbows all pointed at him. If he tried to escape again at this time, he would have many more wounds on him. The hole comes.
Shao Xi, Long Qitai, and Lao Wu jumped down from the room and came to Wuriyetti.
Long Chitai put the straight knife into its sheath and stood on the side with his hand on the handle. Shao Xi shook his folding fan and looked at Wuriyeti with a smile on his face.
"As I said, don't leave in a hurry when you meet old friends. Look, you are leaving in such a hurry now, making me have to chase you so hard. Why bother?"
Wuriyeti stared straight at Shao Xi without saying a word.
Shao Xi didn't mind at all and continued: "You killed the envoys of the Baiye Kingdom and stole the Yunxia Glazed Bead. Who instigated you behind the scenes? Who are you targeting with this effort?"
Wuriyeti suddenly smiled and said with a proud look on his face: "You underestimate the loyalty of us Western Region people. Even if you kill me, I will not betray my master. You will get nothing from me." If you can’t get it, you’d better give up on it!”
Shao Xi raised his eyebrows, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said: "It doesn't matter! I'm not in a hurry, we can talk slowly, and you can tell me when you want to. But your master can't see you. When you go back to life, you will definitely realize that you have fallen into our hands. How much do you think he will trust you? Do you think he will send someone to kill you and silence you? If you don’t tell me, I will ask the person who came to kill you. people."
When Wuriyeti heard what Shao Xi said, he raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "My master is of noble status, you can't fight him! You can't even think of turning me into a tool for your use, I can do this I didn’t expect to be able to go back alive.”
Shao Xi walked up to Wu Riyeti, leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Don't think that what you did is perfect. Your master's royal status and your little tricks of grafting flowers and grafting trees on the tree can't be hidden from everyone." Yes, I will know some things whether you tell them or not. If you tell them, I can keep them a secret for you, and I can secretly send you out of the Central Plains in the future. If you don't tell them, you will be an accomplice when things happen in the future. You are not afraid of death, but I wonder if you are afraid that life would be worse than death?"
The whispers made Wuriyeti dumbfounded. He thought he had never revealed any secrets, but why could the person in front of him tell 70% of what he knew? At this time, Shao Xi in his eyes was like an insidious and cunning monster, as if he could read everything in his mind.
Shao Xi turned around and said, "Take the person back to Dali Temple for custody."
A group of patrolmen stepped forward, tied up Wuriyeti, and escorted him back to Dali Temple.
Shao Xi looked at the armored soldiers and asked Long Qitai: "Brother Long, these people should not be from Dali Temple. Where did you transfer these soldiers from? They look like the Forbidden Army. "
Long Chitai also turned to look at the soldiers and said, "I'm not that capable, so don't ask me about this matter. Ask Master Zhang when you get back to Dali Temple! These soldiers are all He transferred here to assist us.”
"Master Zhang? Are you talking about Zhang Yuzheng, Master Zhang?"
"Exactly! At this time, Mr. Zhang is waiting for our good news in Dali Temple. Brother, why do you ask this? Didn't you ask Mr. Zhang to mobilize troops to help us?"
"I asked Master Zhang to mobilize troops. When did I ask Master Zhang to mobilize troops?"
"But Master Zhang told me when he brought the troops here that they were here to help you investigate the case. I thought it was your brother who asked Master Zhang for help."
Shao Xi shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that Zhang Yuzheng knew that he privately took over the case in the name of "Respect and Respect Division".
Whether it was to help himself or because he was afraid that he would lose face to the "Jingcheng Division" if he could not handle the case, Zhang Yuzheng went to the Holy Sage and borrowed the imperial army to help him. I really don't know what this means to him. Good thing or bad thing.
You know, even if it is necessary to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city to catch a murderer who assassinated a foreign envoy, at most they will be in the guard camp of the bear, tiger, eagle, leopard, wind, cloud, thunder, and rain responsible for city defense. Deploy some troops.
As the imperial city's garrison, no one has the right to mobilize the left and right Xiaowei and the left and right Wuwei without the order of the left and right prime ministers, let alone the left and right Jinwu guards, dragon cavalry guards and dragon armor guards who are the inner guards of the palace. Who dares to change the edict of the Holy One today? No one can mobilize him.
The group of soldiers in front of them seemed to be well-equipped with weapons and armor, and they were well-organized and decisive in their actions. It was obvious at a glance that they were the best among the best, and they must be the dragon-armored guards in the palace.
In order to assist him in investigating the case, the Holy Sage can even send out Dragon Armor Guards. Everyone can see that the Holy Sage attaches great importance to him, which is quite a face-saving thing.
But everything has two sides. To some extent, the Holy Spirit took such great measures to assist him in investigating the case, and the people behind the case were quite sensitive. Now he is involved in the case. , who knows what we will face in the future, and it may not be a good thing to say.
It seems that the current Holy Emperor also has doubts and speculations about the hidden truth behind the case. Now mobilizing the imperial army to assist in the investigation proves that the people and things he has been investigating are also what the Holy Emperor wants to know.
It is said that the king's heart is as deep as the deep. It seems that the Holy Emperor wants to use his own hands to find out what he wants to know, especially since both parties in this matter have royal backgrounds. Xiao Changyi should be trying to find out who is behind his Something behind your back?
Shao Xi knew very well that this situation was not good for him. If he couldn't find out, it would mean he was not doing things well. If he really found out, it would mean that he had mastered the secrets of the royal family. Wouldn't that make himself embarrassed? I don’t know how much trouble there will be by then.
The Holy One hid behind the scenes, but pushed himself to the front. No matter how he and the leaders of the two forces performed, the Holy One was still the spectator. Everyone was clearly seen by him, and everyone was offended by him. Clean and tidy.
Sure enough, the people who can sit on the throne are all cunning old foxes, and there is no fuel-efficient lamp in the emperor's house.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi also has a lawsuit on his head. He has already taken care of it. Now it may not be so easy to let go. He might as well just let it go. Anyway, what the Emperor wants to know is also what he wants to know. Whether it is for him or for himself, it seems that this matter will be investigated further.
A group of people escorted Wuriyeti back to Dali Temple. Before they reached the door, they saw Zhang Yuzheng coming out.
"You are finally back. I have been worried that things would not go well. I am relieved to see you back. It seems that you did not return empty-handed this time!"
Shao Xi also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, I have met Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang has been troubled by this matter. I would also like to thank Mr. Zhang for bringing these elite soldiers. They really helped us in this arrest."
Zhang Yuzheng patted Shao Xi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You shouldn't thank me for this. If you want to thank me, you should thank the Holy One. After I learned that you took over the case, I have been understanding the progress of your investigation through Long Sizhi. And report it to the Holy One. The Holy One has great confidence in your investigation of this case, and also ordered me to fully assist you. Today's Dragon Armor Guards are the ones that the Holy One ordered me to bring to help you when he knew that you wanted to arrest the murderer. "
Shao Xi said that he was a saint, but he was cursing secretly in his heart: "Huh! This old boy like the emperor really doesn't have any good intentions and deliberately uses me as a gunman."
