The palm-sized melon-shaped face was pale, and the blush on the delicate forehead was quickly dissipating.
Although Pei Shitong passed out, the trace of pride remaining at the corner of his mouth still made people hate it and itched their teeth.
Her slender figure was wrapped in wet gray brocade clothes, revealing a sense of infinite charm.
"Hu Meizi!" Ye Wanwan cursed harshly, raised her head, and looked at the three people in the audience. Her eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and her eyes suddenly became stern.
Li Xuan and the others, who were stared at, immediately raised their swords, their bodies slightly staggered, and as they moved their steps, their defensive posture took shape.
"Ha!" Ye Wanwan snorted disdainfully from under the black gauze curtain. The next moment, she turned the horse's head like lightning and walked away quickly.
All this happened incredibly fast. By the time Li Xuan reacted, Ye Wanwan had already disappeared into the dark curtain of rain.
"Chasing, we must not let people fall into the hands of the witch." Li Xuan's voice suddenly became stern.
When she saw the yellow brocade clearly, Li Xuan became extremely anxious.
Pei Shitong hid on the roof of the outer house last night. Even if Qian Niuwei appeared in front of her, she did not show up.
It is more likely that she is avoiding Qian Niuwei.
The daughter of a Luoyang County captain, whose entire family was bloodbathed, was actually hiding from the Qianniu Guards. The reason for this was horrifying to think about.
But even so, it would be better for Pei Shitong to fall into the hands of Qian Niuwei than to fall into the hands of Tianyin Sect.
At worst, when the time comes for his identity to be revealed, he will have to save Pei Shitong from the hands of Qian Niuwei no matter what.
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he rushed onto his horse without even waiting for the reaction of the two Qianniu Guards.
Two black shadows rushed out of the ancient temple at the same time, and they were the two Qianniu Guards.
What Li Xuan can think of, can they not think of it?
Although they don't know why the demon girl from the Tianyin Sect came to Luoyang at this time and found Pei Shitong's location accurately, everyone knows that once Pei Shitong falls into the hands of the Tianyin Sect, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.
Li Xuan didn't even look at the prime minister's guards next to him. Although they had enough force, their mission was to protect their master and his daughter, not to handle cases like the Qianniu Guards. What's more, they had no idea what was going on.
This kind of thing cannot be said to anyone in public.
While thinking, Li Xuan had already galloped his horse into the rain curtain,
Seeing the direction in which the enchantress disappeared, Li Xuan jumped on the horse and chased her.
After counting, he saw the two Qianniu Guards who rushed out first.
They were also riding horses, and I didn’t know where they had hidden their horses before.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan had rushed to the side of the two of them. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that the two Qianniu Guards were already swaying on their horses.
One of them could hardly open his eyes.
What's going on? Could it be that the internal injuries suffered before broke out?
Li Xuan's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, but without any hesitation, he directly reached out and grabbed the reins of the two Qianniu Guard horses and pulled them back.
"No, chase!" Qian Niuwei, who almost fainted, struggled to push Li Xuan.
"It's useless. Without you two, even if I catch up, I can't save anyone." Li Xuan was very sober. He pulled the horse and supported the two of them at the same time: "Besides, if I don't care about you two, , looking at the injuries of both of you, you must die here today!"
Li Xuan's words left the two Qianniu Guards speechless. They were not aware of their injuries before, but now, they may not be able to hold on anymore.
Li Xuan didn't say anything. Without the help of these two Qianniu Guards, even if he caught up with the demon Ye Wanwan, he would probably die in her hands.
There was just a brief fight between the two sides before, and two of the three of them had been seriously injured and were dying.
The strength gap between the two sides is too great.
Moreover, no one knew where she was hiding on such a rainy night.
What if she still has someone to support her?
What if she hides very insidiously and comes back with a counterattack, it will be very lively.
Li Xuan really didn't dare to take such a big risk by herself.
"Forget about the heavy rain, she can't escape anywhere even if she wants to. What's more, even if she is asked to leave, she may not be willing to leave."
This was the reason why Li Xuan stopped chasing. How could they leave without getting what they should get.
Li Xuan took a breath, turned around and jumped onto the horse of the Qianniu Guard who was about to faint.
One hand grabbed his shoulder, and the other hand grabbed another Qian Niuwei on the other side who was seriously injured but still conscious, and said: "You should have a way to contact Qiu Beishen. The imperial army is searching for more than us." convenient."
In this trip to hunt down the culprit of the murder of Luoyang Peixian County Weimanmen, not only Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Xiao Guard and Wuwei were also involved.
Coupled with Luoyang County, Luozhou Governor's Office, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the soldiers from Dengfeng in Luoyang, it is enough to search the entire Luoyang, three rivers, six rivers and sixteen mansions in a carpet-like manner, which is better than the risk of the three of them risking their lives. Much.
Returning to the ancient temple, the relatively lightly injured Qianniu Guard took out a whistle from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan.
"Blow it, and the team leader will hear it...how to blow it, you should...ahem...know?"
"As long as you don't change." Li Xuan took the whistle and walked directly to the entrance of the ancient temple. The next moment, a piercing scream sounded.
After three long blows, Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuo Qianniuwei's warning whistle is not something that ordinary people can blow. If they don't have a little strength and don't master the rhythm, they won't be able to figure out what's going on.
Li Xuan was sent to Zuo Qianniuwei by her family elders for three years of training, and she was quite familiar with everything.
After the whistle is blown, it can't go very far on such a rainy night, but it can be captured by the whistle specially trained by Qianniu Guard.
Li Xuan put away the whistle, turned around and walked back to the ancient temple.
The two Qianniu Guards each took the military's secret medicine and rested to heal their injuries while waiting for reinforcements from the brigade.
Only then did Li Xuan return his attention to the other people in the ancient temple.
The group of businessmen on the right side of the ancient temple were already looking at Li Xuan with fear like snakes and scorpions.
How could they still not see that Li Xuan was not a so-called Taoist priest.
Moreover, they couldn't afford to get involved in the previous fight.
At this time, a prime minister guard wearing a brown short robe held a small brown bowl with a bowl of hot soup in his hand. He placed it flat in front of Li Xuan: "Taoist priest, this is my home." The master asked me to send it here."
"Thank you for me... I'd better go in person." Li Xuan reached out and took the small brown bowl, put it aside, stood up, and walked in the direction of Yilang.
Several guards were guarding the place very strictly. As they got closer, they could clearly see clear scars on many people's faces and hands.
Even on the battlefield, these people are top-notch experts.
With their help, Li Xuan might be able to join forces with Qian Niuwei's people to keep the witch Ye Wanwan behind.
It's a pity that these people have now become private guards. Of course, the personal safety of the master's family is their priority.
Walking to the center of many guards, Li Xuan pinched the Ziwu Jue with her left and right hands, raised her hands and saluted: "Chao Yilang, thank you very much!"
"Taoist priest, you're welcome!" Chao Yilang responded very politely, and then subconsciously asked in a low voice: "The one before..."
"It should be the one Lang Jun was thinking of!" Li Xuan nodded directly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lang Jun, the Luoyang County Lieutenant is not Hedong Pei, right?"
Chao Yilang was slightly startled. At this moment, he felt his left sleeve being pulled hard.
"Sanniang!" Chao Yilang smiled at Li Xuan somewhat sarcastically, and then asked his daughter Liu Jinyu in a low voice: "Sanniang, what's wrong?"
Liu Jinyu glanced around cautiously, and then said in a voice that could only be heard by her father: "The Crown Princess is also Hedong Pei."
The Pei family of Hedong, one of the four great clans in Guanzhong, "Wei Pei Liu Xue", all had close ties with the Li and Tang court.
Pei Wanying, the daughter of Right Guard General Pei Judao, married Prince Li Hong as the crown princess.
The reason why Chao Yilang did not connect the Crown Princess with the Luoyang County Lieutenant was because although they both had the same surname of Pei, one was a direct daughter of a superior, and had always been a Luoyang County Lieutenant from a collateral line. It was difficult to connect the two. stand up.
After all, in the whole of Luoyang, there are too many people who are closer than the two of them.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it is even more unnoticed.
When you can't figure it out, even if the truth is placed in front of you, you will just turn a blind eye. But when the key is figured out, everything will fall into place.
After understanding this point, both Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu remained silent.
What caused all this was the yellow brocade wrapped in the sandalwood box that Ye Wanwan took out from Pei Shitong's arms.
Before, Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. It was just a piece of yellow brocade, and it was everywhere.
But when the demon Ye Wanwan opened her eyes, Li Xuan keenly caught the nine pythons and nine chapters pattern on the yellow brocade.
That is a mark that can only be used by the prince.
There is no doubt that the forged brocade came from the Prince's Mansion, but what about the box and what's in that box?
What could make the Tianyin Sect's saint come all the way to Luoyang, and what could make the descendants of the Wei Hedong Pei family in Luoyang County be exterminated?
Half a month ago, Prince Li Hong died of illness, and there were rumors that the Queen was responsible.
Now the Crown Princess, Pei...
Everything is like a black hole swallowing everyone who tries to get close.
Chao Yilang shuddered when he thought of this, and then saw that Li Xuan and his girl were already chatting in a low voice.
They talked about Luoyang peony, Luoyang lotus, and the flowering season of Luoyang chrysanthemum, some poems, songs, Taoist and Buddhist articles...
chrysanthemum?
