"Hurry up and protect the empress!"
Seeing the old man chasing the Taoist nun, a man in purple pointed and said anxiously: "You guys, stop them two!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people fell to the ground at the door of the inn.
Although the handsome boy was pale, everywhere he went, there were sword shadows, and the ordinary envoys in blue and yellow couldn't resist it at all.
The purple-clothed man's face was ugly. The Holy Cult only had a small number of people here, some of them were taken away by the envoys, and the other part were scattered around the inn. Among them, the guards were stunned again, and most of them went to rescue the empress. , there are not many people left.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly turned around and galloped towards the place where the empress disappeared.
Compared with the empress, the two of them were more important, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.
"Leader, this place is handed over to us, you guys go!"
In the night, a man galloped over on a horse, quickly got off his horse, and several figures followed closely behind him.
"Thank you!" Li Yi and Miss Liu Er quickly got on their horses, turned around and said to the man, "Heroes, be careful!"
He tightened his legs on the horse's belly, shook the reins, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night.
A few more figures in yellow clothes rushed out of the inn...
"What are you going out for, stay here and play slowly!" The man grinned grinningly, and went up to him.
In an instant, in the inn, there was the sound of swords and soldiers colliding.
One of the men in blue was very skilled, but the other party had more people, and those men in yellow couldn't help him much.
After a while, thinking that the time was almost up, a man first shouted: "The idea is tricky, brothers, withdraw!"
As soon as these words came out, the other people no longer wanted to fight, they quickly exited the inn, and rushed towards the depths of the night.
Inside the inn, the man in blue was covering his wound with a gloomy expression on his face.
A man in yellow stepped forward and asked nervously, "My lord, what should we do now?"
The man in blue thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Wait here for your mother to come back."
Not long after, another person came forward and reported: "My subordinates found the shopkeeper tied up in the firewood shed in the backyard, and several other assistants were also there..."
After the battle just now, several men in blue and yellow were all wounded. They came to the firewood room and untied the ropes tied to the shopkeeper and several clerks.
The man in blue asked in a deep voice, "Do you ever know the identity of the person who kidnapped you?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was an old man, his face turned pale at the moment, and his lips trembled as he said: "No, I don't know..."
The man in blue turned his head sullenly, and was about to speak when he looked down at the short sword protruding from his chest, and turned his head with difficulty.
call out! call out! call out!
There were several sounds of piercing through the air, and the men in yellow behind the man in blue got arrows in their eyebrows and fell down in response. Several inn clerks put away their hand crossbows.
The old man pulled out the short sword and said in a low voice, "Clean it up quickly!"
Not long after, a raging fire ignited from the inn.
From the surrounding shops or private houses, people came out one after another, seeing the shopkeeper of the inn standing outside crying loudly, their eyes widened involuntarily.
"It's out of water!"
The streets at night suddenly became noisy.
…
At this time the city gate was not closed, Li Yi shook the reins, and the speed of the horse under him increased.
After leaving the city, everything will be easy to talk about.
Second Miss Liu actually didn't tell herself about the old master master. He tied up Fang. In fact, he didn't even think about luring that nun away. From the beginning to the end, the old man was the ultimate killer.
Only by seriously injuring or killing the Taoist nun can they have no worries, otherwise, even if they can escape, they are doomed to not be able to escape very far.
After all, this is the territory of the King of Shu, and the Taoist nun is a master master, and there are countless masters around her. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to rely on two people to return to the capital safely.
And if the Taoist nun really fell for such a simple plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, the next thing to do would be an even more difficult journey of thousands of miles.
"You've just… "
"Do not talk!"
Li Yicai opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Miss Liu Er.
If you don't talk, don't talk. Although the second Miss Liu feels a little strange to him at the moment, it is important to escape, and everything will be discussed after escaping.
…
"What, the guardian is tied up, what's the matter with the empress?"
"The protector told me about looting the treasury of the King of Shu tonight..."
"Give it up for now, follow me to rescue the empress!"
…
Dozens of black-clothed figures flitted out of a low-slung folk house, caught a glimpse of a galloping horse on the street ahead, and immediately a man in blue looked startled, and then yelled: "Stop them! "
Call!
The horse's hoof knocked on the bluestone-paved street, making a crisp sound. Looking at the man in blue and the dozens of figures behind him, Li Yi's face darkened.
Miss Liu Er jumped off the horse and took a sword flower.
"superior!"
Dozens of men in black flocked.
Li Yi got off his horse, caught a weapon that Miss Liu Er picked up and flew over, took a deep breath, and leaned towards her.
…
"Rebellion, rebellion!"
Jiang Zian hurriedly walked down the street, with a dark figure behind him.
Someone reported the case late at night just now. There were more than ten people fighting in the Rujia Inn. It is said that many people died. This level is already a huge case. Nearly a hundred people rushed to the scene of the crime.
It is impossible for him not to be in a hurry. If there are large-scale casualties tonight, he, the county lieutenant, will be done.
Although he was not very satisfied with this position, it was better than nothing. Resigning himself and being dismissed had completely different meanings.
"My lord, look ahead!"
Suddenly, the yamen servant walking in the front stopped, pointed to the front, and said loudly.
Jiang Zian raised his head and saw dozens of men in black surrounded by two figures on the street ahead, and the sound of clashes of swords and soldiers came from the front.
Lawlessness, really lawlessness!
In broad daylight, in broad daylight..., in broad daylight, in front of the majestic county lieutenant, Jiang Zian's face was filled with fury, and he waved his hands, "What are you doing, save people!"
He retreated behind those yamen servants, and then quickly ran forward with them.
Li Yi's chest rose and fell slightly, and he leaned against Miss Liu Er, surrounded by dozens of men in black.
Many people could only fall to the ground and groan, but there were still quite a few people around them.
Miss Liu Er coughed lightly, and Li Yi glanced back, just in time to see her wipe away the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Are you injured?" His expression changed, and he asked hurriedly.
Miss Liu Er knocked down a person who was close to him with a backhand sword, and said coldly: "Don't be distracted during the battle of life and death, have you forgotten what I taught you before!"
After Li Yi was stunned, he gritted his teeth and clenched the sword in his hand again.
"Catch alive!"
The man in blue said something in a cold voice, but suddenly his expression changed, he turned his head and looked behind.
There was a sound of chaotic footsteps from far to near, and nearly a hundred government officials ran over quickly and surrounded them.
Dozens of men in black immediately gathered together and formed a circle, their weapons pointed out.
Miss Liu Er's body swayed, and Li Yi hurriedly supported her.
"Listen, people inside, you've been surrounded, I'll give you three breaths of time to think about it, put down your weapons, and surrender immediately, otherwise I will be rude..."
Standing behind a tall and strong yamen servant, Jiang Zian shouted loudly.
Li Yi looked in a certain direction and asked tentatively, "Brother Jiang?"
"—"
"Is it brother Li?"
A head protruded from the back of the tall and strong yamen servant. Jiang Zian looked at Li Yi with surprise and joy on his face, and quickly said, "Brother Li, what are you doing there, come out!"
Immediately, a yamen servant made way for them, and Li Yi helped Miss Liu Er to come out. The man in blue changed his face, and finally did nothing.
"What's going on, why are they chasing and killing you?" Jiang Zian looked at him and asked in surprise.
"It's hard to say." Li Yi looked at him, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for saving me!"
"Should be!" Jiang Zian waved his hand, "Mask in black, these people are not good people at first glance, Jiang is a county captain, and it is my duty to calm down the law and order!"
Li Yi looked at him and said, "It's urgent, Li has something urgent to leave the city..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Zian took out a sign from his waist, handed it to him, and said, "Now the gate of the city is closed, Brother Li will take this sign and go out of the city, they will not stop him."
Li Yi looked at the men in black and said, "These people..."
Jiang Zian smiled and said, "Even if Brother Li leaves, these people will be handed over to Jiang!"
Li Yi helped Second Miss Liu onto the horse, took a deep look at him, and said, "Brother Jiang's kindness will be reported in the future!"
He shook the reins, and the steed galloped towards the city gate.
"You and I hit it off right away, you're welcome!"
Jiang Zian watched him go away, looked back at the arresting officials, pointed to those men in black, and said coldly, "Take them all!"
