Zhao Qiuniang's lips were dry. If someone else came to capture her, she could climb over the wall to escape. However, Wan Guojun is the Princess Taiping person and the only deputy commander of the inner guard. If she escaped, Wan Guojun would definitely attack her subordinates.

She turned her mind and said to Lin Qinhu: "I'm here to hold Wan Guojun, you can immediately inform the other brothers to leave, go quickly!"

Lin Qinhu did not dare to disobey his master's orders, so he quickly bowed and rushed to the backyard. A Ling said anxiously: "Master, what can I do?"

Zhao Qiuniang still needs to go to the palace alone to report the news, but A Ling seemed to be unable to enter the palace. At this time, she thought about it and immediately thought of someone. She hurriedly took out her silver medal and handed it to Xiaoling.

"You climb over the wall from the backyard to find Li Zhen, and go to his house first. If he is not at home, then you can go to the palace. You can use the master's waist card to enter the imperial city. Tell him that the master is in danger, so let him find Shangguan Sheren immediately."

"Master, it turns out you are--" A Ling recognized the double-headed eagle on the silver medal, and she was so scared that she screamed.

Zhao Qiuniang had no time to explain and pushed her, "Go quickly!"

A Ling held up the silver medal and ran away. When Zhao Qiuniang saw that she had walked away, she walked out of the side door. Wan Guojun led his men to arrive. They all turned over and dismounted and surrounded them from both sides. Zhao Qiuniang raised her eyebrows and sneered: "The Commander Wan is coming in time!"

Wan Guojun is about forty years old, with a medium figure, a thin horse face, and thick eyebrows like brushes. He was originally a criminal judge in the Ministry of Justice. He was recommended to Wu Zetian by Xue Huaiyi and served as deputy commander of the Inner Guard, but he was Princess Taiping's confidant.

Although Zhao Qiuniang is also a captain of the Inner Guard, she is not under the jurisdiction of Wan Guojun, but is directly under Wu Youxu. Wan Guojun's goal is to capture all the Inner Guard Guard Guards in his own hands.

Wan Guojun slowly walked forward and said with a dry laugh: "I haven't had a good talk with Captain Zhao since I took office. Today I have this opportunity. I think we should have a good talk, eliminate differences and find consensus. Can Captain Zhao give me this face?"

Wan Guojun decided to be polite first and then soldiers. If Zhao Qiuniang was willing to serve him and hand over the gold, everything would be easy to say. Otherwise, Wan Guojun's ruthlessness would be famous in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Qiuniang was going to delay time. Since Wan Guojun wanted to talk to her, that was the best, but she waved her hand, "General Wan said it well. As long as everyone shows sincerity, there is nothing to be difficult to talk about, please!"

Wan Guojun winked at his subordinates and followed Zhao Qiuniang to the martial arts hall. Two subordinates followed him, and the rest guarded the main entrance and side entrance.

.........

Although Cao Wen compromised yesterday and sent Xiao Lian away, he went out with his sister to buy maids and maids early in the morning. It seemed that the scandal had passed, but Li Zhen was in a bad mood.

Today, Li Zhen is on duty at night, and there is nothing to do during the day. He is too lazy to go to the palace to sing Mao, hiding at home to read books and rest. Aunt Meng goes to the temple to recite scriptures and worship Buddha all day long, and goes out early and comes back late every day. Without her noise at home, it is much quieter.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a hurried knock outside the door, and a young lady shouted anxiously, "Are Brother Li at home?"

Li Zhen was surprised. When he walked to the yard and opened the door, he saw a little girl with a double snail bun standing outside the gate. She had a round face and big eyes, and she looked obedient and clever. He knew that she was Zhao Qiuniang's little apprentice A Ling.

Seeing that she was so angry that she was running, Li Zhen was full of anxiety and asked with a smile: "Aling, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Li, go and save my master!"

Li Zhen was shocked, "Where is your master? What happened? Don't be anxious, just say it slowly."

Aling was very eloquent, so she said what had just happened.

Li Zhen suddenly became worried. Zhao Qiuniang was the only one in the martial arts hall. When he found Shangguan Wan'er, it would be too late. He hurried to the livestock shed to take out his red blood horse, turned over and handed his hand to A Ling, "You get on the horse too, let's hurry up."

.........

Li Zhenfu House is about two miles apart from the Martial Arts Hall, and Nanyuan Martial Arts Hall is located on the left side of the gate of Fushanfang.

One mile away from the martial arts hall, Li Zhen saw a dozen men standing at the gate of the martial arts hall, holding a long sword in his hand and looking around vigilantly.

Their guard clothing is also unique, with leather armor like Qianniu Guard, but the robe inside is a Chu red warrior robe with black patterns and a veil hat. Everyone is tall and looks powerful.

Li Zhen was secretly surprised. This was the inner guard's robe! Could it be that Sister Qiu Niang is...

"Brother Li, it's them."

A Ling whispered to Li Zhen: "There are more than a dozen people on the side door."

Li Zhen nodded and urged the horse to come to the other side of the martial arts hall. He handed the horse to A Ling and climbed over the wall into the martial arts hall.

Li Zhen has been to the martial arts hall many times and is already familiar with the paths inside the martial arts hall.

He ran all the way to the martial arts hall training hall, and faintly heard the sound of talking inside. The sound of speaking seemed to come from the lounge. He saw two guards standing at the door of the lounge, and Li Zhen's eyes fell on the small window of the lounge.

He ran over quickly and stood close to the window. A few pieces of hemp paper were pasted on the window. He dipped his fingers in saliva and opened a small hole.

I saw Zhao Qiuniang sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding the swords tightly in her hands, with a look of disdain, but she didn't say a word. Li Zhen breathed a light sigh and finally arrived in time.

His eyes looked at the other person in the room again. It was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows. He walked around with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger, and he was obviously impatient.

"Person Zhao, I have said everything I should say. If you really refuse to be loyal to me, I will not force you, but you must hand over that batch of property. Otherwise, I will punish you severely for the crime of embezzling public funds, which is a death sentence!"

Li Zhen then suddenly realized that Zhao Qiuniang was actually the captain of the inner guard, no wonder she was in Songshan...

Li Zhen put it on the window again, and Zhao Qiuniang said coldly: "Commander Wan, you and I know who you will give to the money you get. I will hand it over to the general, and I will hand it over to the emperor. You don't have to worry about it."

Wan Guojun in the room could no longer bear it, waved his arms and shouted, "Since you don't want to eat the toast, I will give you the best, come!"

The two guards outside the door rushed together, Zhao Qiuniang stood up suddenly, and the two swords were drawn out.

At this moment, the small window shattered and Li Zhen jumped in from outside the window.

When the incident suddenly came, Wan Guojun was shocked and suddenly turned around and was about to reach out to draw the sword, but saw a flash of sword light, and a long sword with a cold light had already hit his throat.

"No! You can't kill him." Zhao Qiuniang shouted in a hurry, fearing that Li Zhen would not know, so she killed Wan Guojun with one sword, and then she would cause a big disaster.

Although Wan Guojun had no martial arts skills, the two inner guards he brought were extremely skilled in martial arts. They both used swords at the same time, one left and one right, aiming the sword at Li Zhen, and putting on a fighting force.

Wan Guojun slowly raised his hands and stared at Li Zhen with his small eyes fiercely.

At this time, there was a sound of running footsteps outside, and seven or eight inner guards rushed over. They raised military crossbows, and seven or eight crossbow arrows pointed at Li Zhen from the window and the gate.

Wan Guojun sneered and said, "Person Zhao, why not do this! Let your apprentice put down the sword and we quit the martial arts hall, how about it?"

Li Zhen said coldly: "I told your subordinates to withdraw first!"

"Little bastard, are you impatient?"

Li Zhen's eyes showed murderous intent, his wrist was slightly pressed, and a wisp of blood was left along the blade, and Wan Guojun's face turned pale in an instant.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Escape all!"

The inner guards retreated from the martial arts hall one after another, and only the three of them were left in the martial arts hall. Li Zhen said to Zhao Qiuniang: "Sister Qiuniang, you go first!"

Zhao Qiuniang shook her head with a wry smile. Where can she leave?

Li Zhen twisted Wan Guojun's arms, put the long sword around his neck, and pushed it out of the side door.

As soon as they left the gate, more than a dozen inner guard soldiers who had been ambushing here rushed over from both sides and intercepted them from both sides.

Wan Guojun sneered coldly: "Do you think you can run away like this? Ziwei Zhao, you can run away from the monk but you can't run away from the temple. Your martial arts hall and your subordinates are all in my palm."

Zhao Qiuniang gritted her teeth and said, "Wan Guojun, you are too bullying!"

"Hmph! Just by your words, I can kill you on the spot, but I will give you a chance to let your apprentice let me go. Today I will let you go temporarily, otherwise you will know the consequences."

At this time, more than a dozen inner guard soldiers rushed from the main gate. Nearly thirty people surrounded Zhao Qiuniang and Li Zhen. The pedestrians were so scared that they dodged away and looked out from afar.

Many people knew Zhao Qiuniang and couldn't help but talk about it, wondering what happened to the owner of the Zhao Pavilion.

Li Zhen quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind. Although he controlled the other party's commander, this damn guy was right. He could run away and the monk could not run away from the temple. Moreover, the other party was the commander of the inner guard, so he really couldn't hurt him.

After a moment of thought, he had an idea. He took away the long sword, took out his guard's silver medal, and shook in front of Wan Guojun: "Who do you think I am? I blind your dog eyes. I am the saint Qianniu, and I was ordered to take Captain Zhao to ask questions. How dare you obstruct me!"

Li Zhen's words were a bit vague and ambiguous. He only said that he was ordered to come and bring people, but did not say that he was ordered by anyone. However, he added another premise, saying that he was prepared by the saint and thousands of oxen. This easily makes people mistakenly think that he came to come with the order.

Sure enough, Wan Guojun was surprised. He originally thought that Li Zhen was Zhao Qiuniang's apprentice, but he didn't expect that the other party was the emperor's personal bodyguard.

He knew the silver medal in Li Zhen's hand, and he became more surprised and immediately ordered: "Put down all the bows and crossbows and retreat!"

The soldiers of the inner guard put down their crossbows and took more than ten steps back. Li Zhen pushed Wan Guojun over.

Wan Guojun was free. He took a few steps back, covered his stabbed neck, frowned in thick brows, stared at Li Zhen and asked, "Who are you?"

A subordinate next to him whispered to Wan Guojun: "Commander, he is Li Zhen!"
