Li Zhen shook his head, "I guess someone is staring at us in the mountain. Let's continue walking, don't let them be suspicious."

Li Zhen has already realized a clue. Since these horse bandits are called the Hu team, it means that they captured Sogdian girls not for their own enjoyment, but for a clear purpose. At least Kang Ruier is safe for the time being.

Even the government and local county soldiers were afraid of them. It seemed that they were of great origin, but no matter whether the other party had a huge background, they had to rescue Kang Ruier.

"Old Li, have we sent Liu Lushuai's son too early? What if he went to report the news, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" Jiu Zhi asked worriedly.

"That Liu Lushuai is a talented man. His family is in the county town. Are you not afraid of us taking revenge? I decided that he would not report the news, and at most pretended not to know anything. Maybe he hoped that we would kill this group of horse bandits! Otherwise, if the superiors investigated him, he would not be able to escape the crime of opening the city gate at night."

"A Zhen, do you have any solutions?" Kang Dazhuang asked again.

"I have no choice for the time being, but I found that they have a weakness, which is that they are too ostentatious and no one takes it seriously. Perhaps we can take advantage of this weakness."

......

Li Zhen and the others pretended to be passers-by and walked directly past the official road next to Kongtong Mountain. They did not stop under Taiyi Palace. However, as night gradually descended, they quietly went up the mountain from behind Taiyi Palace and lurked in the woods a hundred steps away.

Li Zhen climbed up a tall tree, and from here you can clearly see the situation in the Taoist temple. Taiyi Palace is not big, built according to the mountain, with only three advances.

At the front is the mountain gate, behind is the front hall, on both sides are the Lingguan Pavilion and Wenchang Hall, in the middle is the Sanqing Hall, on both sides of the hall, there are two groups of buildings, and behind are the houses where Taoists live, with very simple structure.

At this time, it was dark, and it was pitch black in front of the Taoist temple, and only the rows of houses behind were lit. After looking for a moment, Li Zhen turned back to the ready-made details: "Be careful, don't be discovered."

Xiaoxi nodded and jumped off the big tree. He was wearing black clothes and his body was extremely agile and agile. He flipped into the Taoist temple like a monkey, and his figure disappeared.

About half an hour later, a small figure appeared on the wall again and rushed towards this side. Li Zhen also jumped off the tree and met him, "Go here!"

They came deep in the woods, and Jiu Zhi and Dazhuang also came up to meet them, and the four of them sat down in front of a big rock.

Xiaoxi whispered: "There are no Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. They are all occupied by horse bandits. There are about 30 people, most of whom live in the Sanqing Hall, and some live in the back houses with a back door, but they are locked by iron chains."

"Did you see Rui'er?" Dazhuang asked anxiously.

"I found the room where they were imprisoned, but the light was too dark, I didn't see the appearance clearly, and I didn't dare to call them. There were five people guarding them outside the door, so Rui'er was probably inside."

“How many people are there?”

"There are probably about ten people, and there are three Han girls locked in the other room, all of whom are fifteen or sixteen years old."

All three of them looked at Li Zhen. He was the leader of everyone, and he was resourceful. All plans were decided by him. Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Where is their stable?"

Xiaoxi used stones to set out the structure of the Taoist temple. He pointed to a building to the north and said, "This is Wenchang Temple, which was regarded as a stable by them, and their horses are all here."

Jiuzhi immediately understood, "Old Li, are you going to attack the world?"

Li Zhen nodded, "They are too confident and think no one dares to mess with them. This is our opportunity. Xiaoxi went to Wenchang Palace to set fire. Dazhuang, Lao Pang and I went to save people. We should move quickly and decisively."

The three nodded, Xiaoxi put on the back of the sulfur and other fire-attracting items bought in the county town, and touched the Taoist temple with the three of them. They broke up under the wall, Xiaoxi went to Wenchang Hall, and Li Zhen and the three of them climbed over the wall into the Taoist temple.

A row of buildings is close to the wall, and there is a narrow gap between them, but the buildings do not have a rear window. Either they can lift the roof or they can only walk through the front door.

The three of them ran north along the narrow gap, and the two rooms on the north side were the rooms where Hu Nv was imprisoned.

As soon as Li Zhen reached the edge of the house, he heard a low sound like a beast coming from beside him, and a black mastiff rushed towards him.

Li Zhen reacted very quickly and walked sideways to the mastiff's bloody mouth. He hugged the mastiff's head and inserted the dagger into its heart. The mastiff kicked its hind legs twice and died immediately.

Jiuzhi was behind Li Zhen. He was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "How did the stinky brat do things? Didn't you even find a vicious dog?"

"Shh!"

Li Zhen waved his hand, and the three of them quickly retreated and dragged the dog's corpse over. Someone said, "Where has the black skin gone? Why don't you come back? Let's go and take a look."

Someone muttered a few words and stood up and walked towards the back of the house. Li Zhen pressed against the wall, pulled out the dagger, and prepared to kill the man.

But the man just walked to the edge of the opening and turned back, "If you are not behind the house, I guess the dead dog will go after the bitch, no matter it!"

Li Zhen listened to the footsteps. There were at least five guards, which was difficult to deal with. He was afraid that someone would find him and shouted, attracting other horse bandits.

At this time, he felt that Jiu Zhi was pulling his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Jiu Zhi Xiang pointing upwards. Only then did Li Zhen realize that there was a window above his head, and there were more than a dozen houses in the row behind him, and only this one had windows.

Li Zhen secretly complained that he hadn't seen it beforehand. His mind turned around and pointed at the two of them backwards, meaning that they would let them retreat first, and he would see the situation first. The two understood and retreated to the two rooms and hid in the gap between the rooms.

Li Zhen pried open the window with a dagger, and a trace of light came out of the window. He looked for a moment. The room was empty and hay was covered on the ground. Three young ladies sat on the grass against the wall, their hands were tied back and their feet were tied. They were the three Han girls who were talking about in detail.

Li Zhen jumped in and the three little ladies were so scared that they were about to scream. Li Zhen shrewd and waved to them, "Don't shout! I'll save you."

The bright color of hope surged in the eyes of the three little girls. A woman in a double-ring bun and a green skirt asked, "Who are you?"

Li Zhen pointed to the next door and whispered: "I am entrusted by someone to rescue the Sogdian woman next door, and I can save you together."

Li Zhen used a dagger to cut off their ropes and asked, "How long have you been arrested?"

The girl in the green skirt said in tears: "We have been arrested for two days. We are a troupe of operas and are preparing to perform in Dunhuang. As a result, we met this group of bandits on the way. The senior brothers died and the escaped. The three of us were captured here."

Another young lady next to her said angrily: "It's a pity that Brother Pei is not here, otherwise none of them would have survived."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Second, what are you going to do?"

A hoarse voice said viciously: "I am guarding a large group of women but not touching them. I will be suffocating. I can't touch my mother over there. I can't touch my mother over here!"

"You guys just wanted to get it before you enjoy it. Are you itchy?"

"I don't care. At worst, I can get beaten up. You let me in. Lao Wu, I agreed to the matter you begged me last time."

"This...well! If you want to die, you can do whatever you want."

The sound of unlocking came from the door. Li Zhen had nowhere to hide. He flashed and hid behind the door. He waved his hand and asked the three little girls to continue to remain the same. The three little girls understood and sat on the haystack, looking at Li Zhen nervously.

At this time, a tall and thin man entered the house and turned around to close the door. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the three white and tender little ladies. He was blinded by the storm of flames ignited in his chest and abdomen. He didn't notice that the ropes on the three of them were gone. He quickly took off his outer clothes and said grimly, "Three little ladies, let the uncle serve you."

He was about to step forward, but his body froze. He covered his mouth with one hand, and a dagger came out of his chest. His throat clattered twice and he died.

The three little ladies were so scared that they covered their mouths. Li Zhen moved quickly, put on the clothes he took off, leaned against the door, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lao Wu, come in and take a look, it seems something is wrong!"

The door creaked open, and a short and strong man walked in, "What's wrong..."

Without saying anything, Li Zhen cut off his neck with a knife and stabbed his chest with a backhand. His technique was neat and neat. At this moment, a shout came from a distance, "It's time to go out, the stable is watery, come quickly!"

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! As he struck the bronze bell, fires were lit up in the northwest direction, thick smoke rolled, and the neighing sounds of war horses. More than a dozen horse bandits living in the backyard immediately ran towards the front yard.

At this time, the back window opened, and Jiu Zhi and Kang Dazhuang also jumped into the house. Li Zhen immediately said: "Old fat will take them away first, Dazhuang and I will go to save people!"

Li Zhen opened the door and there was no one outside the door. He looked over and looked at the few people guarding the door next door, and they also ran to put out the fire. There was no one. Li Zhen was secretly happy. This was simply God helped him succeed.

He and Dazhuang ran to the next door. Kang Dazhuang kicked open the door. A scream came from the room. Kang Dazhuang asked anxiously, "Is Rui'er here? I am Dazhuang!"

A person rushed out of the room and threw himself into Dazhuang's arms. Her face was full of tears. It was Kang Ruier who was abducted. Kang Dazhuang and Li Zhen were overjoyed. Li Zhen made a quick decision and said, "Take everyone with you and let's go through the back door!"

At this moment, a gloomy laughter came not far away, "Young Master Li, don't be fine!"
