At night, it started drizzling in Chengdu. The raindrops fell from the sky like needle tips, falling on the face and hands, making the night of mid-spring a little cooler. On the wall of a large mansion not far from the back door of the Censorate Office, Wu Furong led more than 60 inner guard warriors patiently waiting for the back door to open.

Zhang Heng accidentally received the news, Yang Pei had confessed, Wan Guojun took a step forward in the afternoon, and Wu Furong immediately determined that this was Lai Junchen was about to escort Yang Pei back to Beijing. Soon, Zhang Heng ordered his confidant to send news again that there would be some movement in the back door tonight.

Wu Furong received the order of Princess Taiping to rob Yang Pei and did not allow Yang Pei to enter Beijing. Wu Furong was also a member of the Wu family. Of course, her original intention was to hope that Xingtang would be completely eradicated so that the Wu family could completely replace the Li family and dominate the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. However, she now defected to Princess Taiping and was valued by Princess Taiping. She dared not and could not disobey Princess Taiping's orders.

"Commander, there is something going on," a warrior whispered.

Wu Furong was excited and focused on the back door. In just a moment, the back door quietly opened. More than a dozen knights slowly drove out, guarding a carriage, covered with black cloth around the carriage, and pulled by two horses. Wu Furong recognized it at a glance that it was a cage carriage, and Yang Pei must be in it.

"superior"

Wu Furong shouted, and more than 60 warriors jumped off the wall and rushed up the carriage. The sudden ambush caused more than a dozen knights to be in chaos. At this time, they had left the back door of the official office. It was too late to go back. More than a dozen knights dared not fight and rushed into the darkness. In just a moment, more than a dozen people ran without a trace and left the cage carriage.

It was too easy to succeed, which made Wu Furong feel a sense of badness. She rushed forward and waved her sword to split the black cloth, and tore it apart. She saw that the cage was empty, so what was Yang Pei?

Wu Furong was stunned. She knew she had been fooled.

At the same time when Wu Furong attacked the carriage, another carriage had left Chengdu and headed north under the escort of dozens of gangsters and warriors. This carriage was not a cage carriage, but an ordinary carriage. In the carriage, Yang Pei was lying on the wall of the carriage without rest. He was already desperate and knew that he would definitely die when he entered Beijing.

Next to the carriage, Lai Junchen was wearing a black samurai uniform and mingled with more than a dozen black samurai warriors. It was difficult to tell him out. He was quite proud of his face and played Wu Furong hard tonight. When he thought of Wu Furong pulling away the black cloth expression, he couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Furong never dreamed that there was a secret passage in the Censorate. It led to a private house opposite the gate. The private house was also the property of the Chengdu Censorate. They transferred Yang Pei over in the afternoon. As soon as the sky was dark, they set out from behind the private house.

However, although Wu Furong was fooled, Lai Junchen was still a little worried. He was worried that more than Wu Furong wanted to intercept Yang Pei, such as Li Zhen, who has not shown up so far, and there is a real Xingtang Association. Will they watch Yang Pei be escorted to Beijing?

After interrogating Yang Pei for four days, he still found nothing. It seemed that Yang Pei also found that Lai Junchen did not dare to execute him, so he refused to confess. Although Lai Junchen received the confession of Yang Pei pressing his handprint, he did not get the exact evidence. Of course, Lai Junchen would not give up. He wanted to take Yang Pei back to the capital and continue the interrogation. When he arrived in the capital, he had a way to let Yang Pei speak.

Lai Junchen looked at both sides. Before they had completely walked out of Chengdu, there were houses around him. He ordered: "Speed ​​up"

The carriage accelerated and headed north quickly

On a three-story wooden building next to the official road, Li Zhen and Di Yan had been waiting for almost an hour. There was still no sign of escorting the person on the official road. Di Yan was a little anxious and asked in a low voice: "How confident are you? Lai Junchen will definitely come?"

"I'm eight points sure that Junchen will set off tonight, but only six points, he will go this path, so I'm actually only five points."

"Only 50% sure?"

Di Yan said unhappily: "You only have 50% sure you let me wait here for a night. And even if he comes, we only have two of us, so how can we save him?"

“Adapt to the situation”

Li Zhen leaned against the window and smiled lazily, "We may not save people now, we can follow them. They will always be negligent when they go north, and then the opportunity will come."

Di Yan glared at him for a while and said, "I have done so many things with you, but this time it's the most unreliable. You don't have any plans, so you know you're waiting here. If you had known this, what would you do in Chengdu?"

"Why don't I plan? Aren't I going out this afternoon? Otherwise, how would I know they'll leave tonight?"

"You—" Di Yan asked curiously again: "What did you do in the afternoon?"

"I actually went to check Wu Furong and the others' movements. I found that they were preparing to ambush at night. I guess they got the news that Lai Junchen was leaving tonight, but I dare say they would get nothing."

"Why?"

"Who is Lai Junchen? He is not so easy to be found. He must have given Wu Furong fake news, which made Wu Furong lose tonight."

Di Yan curled his lips, "These are all your guesses. Besides, how can you tell that Wu Furong is going to ambush tonight? What if they just prepare first, they will ambush tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"My guess is usually more accurate. Look, they are here." Li Zhen smiled at the official road in the distance.

Di Yan turned around and looked into the distance of the official road along Li Zhen's gaze. He saw a team vaguely appearing in the distance.

The lights were not turned on in the room, which made their eyes adapt to the darkness. Although it was drizzling outside, Di Yan could still see clearly. Dozens of horse riders were guarding a carriage and driving carefully towards this side.

Di Yan suddenly felt excited and asked in a low voice: "How can we save people?"

But Li Zhen did not answer her. Di Yan looked at him strangely, and saw Li Zhen closing his lips tightly, staring at the slowly driving carriage with a drastic and sharp look, but the bows and arrows in his hand slowly clenched.

Di Yan suddenly felt uneasy in her heart. She knew that Li Xian had given Li Zhen a note, but she knew nothing about it.

Di Yan was about to ask Li Zhen, and just when this was the case, a burst of shouts suddenly broke out on the official road. Li Zhen and Di Yan were both surprised and looked at the official road together.

There are sparse houses on both sides of the official road, and some shops, and to the north are desolate mountains and forests, making the inn where Li Zhen and Di Yan become the last little light of Chengdu business.

At this time, just a few dozen steps south of the inn, countless black shadows came from all directions to surround Junchen's team, and the two sides were mixed together.

Di Yan asked Li Zhen nervously: "Brother Li, are they Xingtang Association?"

Li Zhen shook his head slowly. He knew that it was impossible for the Xingtang Association. All the warriors of the Xingtang Association had retreated to Yangzhou and could not get there at all. Could it be that Wu Sansi's person who wanted to compete with Lai Junchen for the dominance of the Xingtang Association? But this explanation seemed a bit far-fetched.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Li Zhen's mind, "I understand." Li Zhen blurted out, "I know who they are, they must be them."

"Who is it?" Di Yan asked anxiously.

"It was the ambushing of the Dali Temple officials in Fangzhou and assassinating the men under Lai Junchen."

Di Yan's eyes widened. Didn't these people just try every means to pick up Junchen's attention to Xingtang Association? How could they stop Lai Junchen from investigating Xingtang Association at a critical moment? This seems a bit contradictory.

In fact, Li Zhen also felt a little contradictory, but his intuition told him that the man in black who ambushed Lai Junchen at this time and the murderer who ambushed Dali Temple were the same group of people.

However, at this time Li Zhen had no time to think too much. The man in black raided and disrupted his plan. He drew a long arrow from the quiver on his back.

There was already a mess on the official road, and the two teams fought fiercely. Lai Junchen obviously did not expect someone to ambush here. He was angry and anxious and shouted: "Protect the carriage, and you can't let them rob people."

More than twenty black warriors were guarding both sides of the carriage and fighting to the death to resist the attack of the men in black. Lai Jun knew that there was a military camp five miles away, so he immediately said to a subordinate: "Go to the military camp for help."

The subordinate turned his horse's head and rushed towards the west military camp. Lai Junchen drew his long sword and urged the horse to enter the battle group.

There were about thirty or forty men in black, and everyone was very skilled in martial arts and fierce in killing. They were in groups of three or five and rushed towards the carriage from all directions. Their goal was also very clear, which was to rob Yang Pei in the carriage.

In the darkness, there were swords and swords, and there were screams of killing. Screams kept coming from both sides of the carriage. Lai Junchen waved his sword to fight and protected the carriage. He knew in his heart that only if they persisted for another half an hour, the army would come to help.

"Stop it with me"

Lai Junchen shouted loudly, constantly motivating his subordinates to fight to the death. The man in black could not attack for a while, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

In the carriage, Yang Pei, who was originally dying, was also excited. He threw himself on the car window. Both sides of the car windows had been fixed to death by iron bars. "Who is it? Who will save me?"

Yang Pei shouted with excitement, turned around and rushed to the other window, shaking the iron bars on the window. He eagerly wanted to extend his head out of the fence to see who came to save him.

But an accident happened at this moment. A long arrow shot like lightning. The long arrow was powerful. With a puff, the long arrow shot into Yang Pei's forehead, and nearly half of the arrow was shot into him. Yang Pei screamed and raised his head and fell down.

This scene happened to be seen by Lai Junchen. His eyes suddenly turned red. He swung his sword and overturned the rest of his people. He rode his horse to the carriage. He saw Yang Pei lying in the carriage with his mouth open, and blood flowing out along the arrow shaft. Yang Pei's eyes were no longer full of vitality.
