Luo Xishi raised his breath, and sure enough, his Dantian was empty. Knowing that Jiang Shuo was not joking, he sat on the ground blankly, looking at Jiang Shuo blankly, as if he didn't hear what he said.
Yu Lanchu said: "Looking back, what should we do now?"
Hun Weiming offered advice: "After all, these three people are officials of the imperial court. It is not good to kill them casually."
Yu Lanchu said: "What happened to the imperial officials? These three officials are still conspiring to manipulate the imperial examinations. They have no choice but to kill them to eliminate harm for the people."
Although Yu Lanzhu seemed to have a noble temperament, but she also had the spirit of a chivalrous woman, unlike Hun Weiming who was so forward-looking and hesitant. Hun Weiming did not argue with her, but turned around and asked Jiang Shuo, "Young Master, please make your decision." Hun Weiming Although his martial arts skills are high, he always cares about gains and losses like a businessman, and is unwilling to do things to the extreme and offend the government.
Before Jiang Shuo had time to speak, he suddenly saw a big black bird falling from the sky, but it was Jing Kuanren who arrived. His Japanese Zhibian skill was unique. Although it was quite different from the Central Plains martial arts, it was not inferior to the top Qinggong in the Central Plains. He had hidden somewhere before, but now he suddenly appeared again.
Jing Kuanren said: "Boy, what are you still doing here? The pot is open outside!"
Jiang Shuo was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
Luo Xishi sat on the ground and sneered: "Jiang Suzhi, you Cao Gang has so many people hiding in Wubenfang, and you still pretend that no one knows about it. Are you looking down on people?"
Jing Kuanren said: "I heard that the Chang'an County Lieutenant was ordered by Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong to go to Wubenfang to arrest the people who had occupied the house privately."
Yu Lanchu asked curiously: "Hey...how can the few policemen under the little Chang'an County Captain be the opponents of the Caogang tycoons?"
Jing Kuanren said: "Of course they couldn't defeat them, but they escaped to the street and alerted the Jinwu guards who were watching the night..."
Just as Jiang Shuo was about to speak, Jing Kuanren took over the conversation and said, "The Jinwu Guards are naturally no match, but Wubenfang is close to the Imperial City, and a fight attracted all the Sixteen Guards of Nanya."
Hun Weiming suddenly understood and shouted, "Ah, I've fallen into a trap!"
Ye Qingyao saw that Jiang Shuo still didn't understand the reason, so he explained to him: "Even if Prime Minister Lin is so powerful, he would not dare to mobilize the army privately in Chang'an City. He asked Jingzhao Yin to send the county government officers to search, and then lead the Caogang gang to If there is a conflict with the Forbidden Army, I can use the Imperial Army to wipe out the Cao Gang without spending a single soldier."
Yu Lanchu said "hum" and said: "Even if there are thousands of troops, it will not be difficult for the heroes of the Cao Gang to escape!"
Ye Qingyao said: "The viciousness of this plan is that, regardless of whether the Caobang brothers escape or not, this fight with Suwei in the capital has already established evidence of rebellion."
Luo Xishi had lost his martial arts skills anyway and knew that he would not be spared. He sat on the ground and laughed loudly and said: "Jiang Suzhi, your every move has already been calculated by Prime Minister Lin. When you take action, you will find your lair. It's a strategy." , compared to Lin, you gangsters are still far behind."
In fact, Luo Xishi already knew that the Cao Gang was going to take action today, and used himself as a bait to lure the leader here. The only thing he missed was that Jiang Shuo and the others came to Chang'an City today, and Ming Ke's residence, which they had chosen from thousands of people, unexpectedly turned out to be... Being controlled by the Cao Gang, he was pecked in the eye when he was hunting geese. However, Jiang Shuo had already disabled his martial arts skills anyway, so he just indulged in his addiction.
Although Jing Kuanren became a monk, he was still very angry. He kicked Luo Xixi in the mouth. The kick was quite hard, causing blood to spurt out of Luo Xixi's mouth and two molars to spit out. However, he Still laughing wildly.
Jing Kuanren was about to hit him again, but Jiang Shuo stopped him and said, "Master Kongxing, Luo Xishi has lost his martial arts. It won't help if you hit him. Let's leave quickly."
Hun Weiming asked: "What should we do with these three people?"
Jiang Shuo said: "We have no grievances with the two kings. Even if they commit corruption, their crimes will not lead to death." He looked at Luo Xishi again and said, "I have abolished Luo Xishi's kung fu. I must have done it." He will never dare to leave the capital to commit crimes anywhere in the future, so why kill him."
These words were very much in line with Hun Weiming's thoughts, and he crossed his hands and said, "Young Master has a kind heart, and that's very good." He was afraid that Jiang Shuo would change his mind, so he urged, "Let's go quickly!"
Jing Kuanren said: "We are fighting on Chunmingmen Street at the moment. I will lead the way." As he said that, he jumped out of the house. With a flick of his hand, Jiang Shuo tapped the acupuncture points of brother Er Wang and Luo Xishi, and flew out of the house, feeling
Wei Ming and Ye Qingyao also followed closely behind.
Yu Lanzhu bowed to Qin's fake mother and said, "I have been harassing Qin's mother for a long time. Thank you for taking care of me. "Su Su" said goodbye today. ” Then he led a group of girls out of the house.
Everyone left Nanqu, but instead of going back the way they came, they rushed north out of Pingkangfang.
I saw the bright lights on Chunmingmen Street, and it was indeed very lively. Caobang, Southern Shaolin, and Maoshan heroes were mingling with the guards in the capital. The troops blocking the two sides included the Jinwu Guards who were responsible for public security in the outer city, and the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya. Custodes. The scene on Chunmingmen Street was chaotic and chaotic, and Jiang Shuo didn't know what to do for a while.
But Xie Yansheng rushed over and said to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master, you have finally come out. Have you found the whereabouts of my eldest brother and the leaders of the families?"
Jiang Shuo asked first: "Where are Master Shenhui and Taoist Master Wei? All eminent monks, have Taoist Masters come out?"
At this time, Shenhui and Wei Jingzhao also dispersed the officers and soldiers and came to Jiang Shuo. Wei Jingzhao said: "Shuo'er, I am here!"
Although the Shaolin Maoshan monks' internal strength was damaged, they were still quite good at their skills. They beat the Imperial Army to the point where they cried for their parents, but they could not break out of the encirclement.
Jiang Shuo then said to everyone: "The big brothers who were kidnapped are not in the capital. We have all fallen into the trap. Li Linfu deliberately used a loophole to let us enter the city to rescue people, and then lured the imperial army to encircle and suppress them."
Wei Jingzhao said: "Shuo'er, the Imperial Guards are so numerous that we can only fight our way out of the city for now."
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but frown after hearing this. These forbidden troops were just fulfilling their duties. If they were to force their way out, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Yu Lanchu raised his eyebrows and said, "To the east is Chunmingmen, let's fight out!"
Xie Yansheng said: "Aren't they all going east to kill? But there are too many forbidden soldiers, and they have formed a defensive formation, and it is difficult to break through for a while."
Ye Qingyao said: "To go east, we have to pass through Xingqing Palace. It must be heavily defended at this moment, and we must fight to the death! Besides, there are crossbowmen on the city gate. Even if we rush past, it will be difficult to get out of the city."
Jiang Shuo knew that Ye Qingyao was quite familiar with Chang'an City and asked, "Sister Qingyao, where do you think we should go?"
Ye Qingyao said: "Going south, there is no city wall in Qujiang Pool in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, which is perfect for breaking out."
Shenhui, Wei Jingzhao, Hun Weiming, and Xie Yansheng said "Okay" in unison, and led the others to kill southward along Qixiamen Street.
Sure enough, the first priority of the imperial army was to defend the palace, so the troops were densely spread out in the north and south. Everyone felt that the pressure was greatly reduced when they walked south.
After passing Pingkangfang, Xuanyangfang and Qinrenfang to the south, we saw Jinwu Guards soldiers arrayed in front.
Xie Yansheng said: "Let's go and kill him!"
However, Wang Qiyao grabbed Xie Yansheng and said, "Brother Xie, be careful! Everyone, stop now!"
The heroes were stunned when they heard the words. At this moment, they heard the sound of piercing the sky, and countless arrows were shot. It turned out that the Jinwu Guards on the opposite side were crossbowmen. Fortunately, Wang Qiyao was familiar with the tactics of crossbowmen and stopped in time. The distance was far away. The arrows were weak, most of them were shot down, and only a few were injured.
It seemed that the commander of the Forbidden Army was well versed in arranging troops and had already deployed archers and crossbowmen to block the way back to the south.
Ye Qingyao said: "Turn to the east side street!"
Everyone turned eastward and passed through the narrow road between Qinrenfang and Yongningfang. They saw a hill behind the wall of Xuanpingfang in the southeast, covered with dense trees.
Looking at the east and south sides, there are crossbowmen blocking the road. The Tang army's crossbows have a range of 200 steps, but the length of a square is no less than 600 steps. The crossbowmen of the Jinwu Guard carry their crossbows and advance like a wall, surrounding everyone. come over.
Ye Qingyao said helplessly: "Enter Xuanpingfang!"
The walls of the square are not very tall. The heroes climbed over the walls and entered Xuanping Square. They saw that the terrain inside the square was gradually rising, and the houses were stacked one on top of another, rising one after another.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the square, and the Jinwu Guards soldiers opened the square and surrounded them again. Ye Qingyao said: "Everyone, hurry up to the mountain plain. There are many willow trees on the plain, and you can still withstand it for a while."
Jiang Shuo was busy and asked Ye Qingyao: "Why is there a hill in Chang'an City?"
Ye Qingyao said as he walked: "This is the famous Leyouyuan. The ancient city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was in the northwest. Leyouyuan was still on the outskirts of the city, but now it is enclosed in the city. Leyouyuan occupies a new area in the city.
Chang, Xuanping, Shengping and Shengdao are the four places. "
Everyone hid in the forest, and Hun Weiming couldn't help but worry: "If Jinwuwei sets fire to the wall and burns the mountain, we will all become meson pushers."
Ye Qingyao said: "Don't worry about this. Princess Taiping once built a garden in Leyouyuan. Later, she was executed for treason. The garden was taken back by the saint and given to the four kings Ning, Shen, Qi and Xue. Now Leyou On the original slope are the residences of the four princes and many ministers, and the Jinwu Guards would not dare to make any mistakes."
Jiang Shuo said, "But we can't get out even if we do this."
Jing Kuanren suggested: "Aren't there many ministers living here? Let's go and capture a few of them as hostages!" It seems that although he escaped into Buddhism, his spiritual practice was not enough, and he still showed a violent and murderous temperament from time to time.
Jiang Shuo hurriedly said: "No, no! We are not gangsters, how can we arrest people casually?"
Jing Kuanren said anxiously: "Ah, looking back, why are you still so pedantic at this time? Why don't you tell me how to get out?"
Ye Qingyao hurriedly advised: "Sister Yu, don't worry, Leyou is the commanding heights of Chang'an. We just need to climb up and have a look around to see if there are any weaknesses in the city."
At this moment, everyone had no choice but to walk through the small forest and climb up to Leyouyuan. As expected, Leyouyuan looked spacious. Looking southward, one could see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Qujiang Pond. From the east there was Qinglong Temple, and on the south slope. There was also a large nursery, but it was impossible to tell what was being planted in the darkness, but there was a faint fragrance mixed in the air. Ye Qingyao said it was the Prince's Medicine Garden.
Looking around from Leyouyuan, I saw torches flashing everywhere, especially the location of Xingqing Palace in the north. It was like daylight. It was a rare beauty. But at this moment, no one was in the mood to enjoy it. Apparently Jin Wuwei had already Knowing that everyone had hid in Le Youyuan, they were surrounding the fourth square where Le Youyuan was.
Hun Wei said clearly: "Although I have avoided the limelight for a while, I am trapped in the original place, but I can't escape."
Jiang Shuo looked south, and Qujiang Pond was still outside Wufang. Apparently Jinwu Guards also knew that there was no city wall here, so they strengthened their defense. From Leyouyuan, you could clearly see that there were fires at every street entrance in the south, and every day One of the fires was a group of Jinwu Guard soldiers.
Looking east again, he saw a city gate at the end of the hill two miles away from Xinchang and Shengdao. Jiang Shuo said, "The city gate is close to the east, so we have to force our way through!"
Ye Qingyao nodded and said: "It seems that we can't go to Qujiang Pool. The east gate is called Yanxing Gate, and Leyouyuan extends out of the city. If we can break through Yanxing Gate, the hills outside are connected to Longshouyuan. If we plunge into the mountains, the Imperial Army will not be able to catch up."
Everyone agreed, and Hun Wei said clearly: "The only thing left to do now is to make a breakthrough!"
The decision was made, and everyone rushed towards Yanxing Gate, broke through the square gate, and arrived in front of Yanxing Gate. Jiang Shuo saw a lantern rising and lowering above the city gate. Knowing that it was sending a signal, he shouted: "Where is Yao Lang?"
Wang Qiyao responded: "Qiyao is here!"
Jiang Shuo pointed upward and said, "Shoot down the city to get the lantern."
Wang Qiyao sang loudly, and the two strings sounded, and the lanterns on the left and right sides of the tower were shot down.
I heard a person on the tower shout loudly: "What a good thief, but he has some tricks!"
At the same time, the sound of piercing the sky sounded from the top of the city, and an arrow was shot towards Wang Qiyao.
