Chapter 0052 Oriole behind

Li Zhen took Sisi to a carriage parked outside the mansion, and he immediately whispered: "Go to the East City!"

The coachman waved the long whip, the carriage started, and rushed towards the east city. Sisi couldn't help crying again in the carriage. Li Zhen comforted her softly, "It's okay, your second brother will take you home soon, and your parents stretched their necks and looked forward to you going home!"

"Brother Sanlang, why are you here? Where are my second brother?" Sisi raised her head and asked with tears on her face.

Li Zhen hasn't seen her for half a year and finds that she is a little bit maturer than before and looks more pretty. Li Zhen smiled and said, "A lot of things have happened. I will tell you slowly in the future. Your second brother and the fat man in the city are now outside the city. If I settle you down, I have to rush over."

"But...the city gate is closed now, why are you going out?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way!"

Kang Sisi looked at him in confusion. This brother Sanlang, whom she once loved the most, gave her a huge sense of security. Her excitement gradually calmed down. She gently laid her head on his shoulders and slowly closed her eyes. She didn't dare to close her eyes for a few days, and she was so tired.

Li Zhen was not sleepy at all. He stared out of the window with sharp eyes, and all kinds of thoughts in his mind were flying rapidly. Rescuing Sisi was only the first step. Next, he must rescue Xiaoxi as soon as possible.

Although Wu Shun kept saying that after receiving Wu Chengsi's reply, he would let Xiaoxi go, if he really believed Wu Shun, he would probably not even know how he died.

These are the places where people eat and don’t spit bones. Once they find that the relics are fake, how could he let him go?

At this time, the carriage stopped, Sisi woke up suddenly and found that there was the gate of Dongshi outside. She asked strangely: "Brother Sanlang, why are you stopping here?"

"Don't ask, just follow me!"

Li Zhen pulled her out of the carriage, walked a while, and got on another carriage. Li Zhen ordered: "Go to Chongyefang!"

The carriage turned around and drove towards Chongyefang. Li Zhen was extremely cautious at this time. He must not let Wu Shun know where Sisi was hidden. If there was a loophole, their efforts would be wasted.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Chongyefang gate. At this time, the hour of Hai had arrived. The drum sounded that closed the gate. At the moment when the gate was about to close, he pulled Sisi and rushed into the gate.

They walked into an alley and Li Zhen opened a door. This was a small house covering an area of ​​about one acre, with five or six houses and a small courtyard. They had rented it for two months.

"Brother Sanlang, where is this?"

"This is a temporary hut we rented. You can live here first. You have bought everything inside. Don't go out. We'll be back in a day or two."

Seeing that there was a look of fear in her eyes, Li Zhen smiled and comforted her, "It's safe here. No one will find you. We will rescue Xiaoxi and take you out of Chang'an."

Sisi bit her lip lightly and nodded obediently, "I will take care of myself, Brother Sanlang, you must be careful too."

Li Zhen left her dozens of gold coins, then left the small house and ran quickly outside the gate.

.........

Although the city wall of Chang'an is tall and majestic, it is meaningless in the eyes of people with high martial arts. With just a long rope, Li Zhen easily climbed over the East City Wall, swam across the moat, and ran outside the East City Gate.

Soon, Li Zhen rushed to a small hill and found a pavilion that he had made an appointment. While he was looking around, Jiu Zhi's voice came from behind the big tree, "Old Li, we are here!"

Immediately afterwards, Kang Dazhuang also showed up, and he stepped forward and asked nervously: "Has Sisi rescued him?"

Li Zhen nodded, "She is very safe in the small house we rented now!"

Kang Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief. When his sister came out, he could let go of half of his tight heart. Below was to rescue Xiaoxi. He said, "We have been observing the city gate, and no one went out."

"Old Li, the city gate is closed now. Can they come out?" Jiu Zhi asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but what if they can go out? It's better to be careful, we won't have many opportunities."

Li Zhen put his bow and arrow on his back and turned his horse on his back, "Let's go! Let's go to ambush ahead first."

The three of them urged their horses to get off the hills and ran east along the wide official road.

The east gate of Chang'an City is called Chunming Gate, which is the main gate to Luoyang east. If Wushun people want to go to Luoyang, then Chunming Gate is the only way to go. Then run east along a straight and wide official road, and you can reach Luoyang in a few days.

Just about a quarter of an hour after Li Zhen and his friends left the hill, the outer suspension bridge of Chunming Gate was lowered and the city gate slowly opened. It was a serious crime to open the city gate at night. Unless it was an emergency military report or the emperor returned to the city, it would be difficult to escape the impeachment of the censor. If it were not for the powerful person, the city gate of Chunming would never have been opened.

As soon as the Chunming Gate was opened, eight knights ran out from the city gate. They whipped their horses and pulled a distance of more than twenty feet from front to back. They ran east like a sharp spear. From the white robe and embroidered clothes they wore, it can be seen that this was a general of the Wu family.

Whether it is Wu Chengsi, King of Wei or Wu Sansi, their generals wore the same embroidered moon-white robe, tied leather belts on their waists, wore gauze hats on their heads, carried bows and arrows on their heads, and were all very skilled in martial arts. It was obvious that these eight generals rushed to Luoyang for important things.

Li Zhen's guess was not wrong. After Wu Shun received the relic letter, he immediately sent someone to Luoyang and placed it out of the Chang'an Association Festival. Only when he handed it to his adopted father Wu Chengsi could he complete the task.

These eight Wu family generals were the messengers who were placed in Chang'an by Wu Chengsi, who specially sent important documents for him. They had Wu Chengsi's gold medals, and the city gates in Chang'an and Luoyang could be unobstructed.

Each of the eight generals was very skilled in martial arts and had one out of a hundred horses. Although Chang'an and Luoyang were thousands of miles apart, they could arrive in three days.

Eight generals galloped on the wide and uninhabited official road, stirring up rolling yellow dust, with great momentum, and the rapid sound of horse hooves came several miles away at night.

Li Zhen stood on a big tree, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, focusing on the knight getting closer and closer in the distance.

Although he was not sure that these knights were the ones sent by Wushun to Luoyang to send relics, he had to make this bet. Whether he could retake the relics was here to kill them.

The eight knights were getting closer and closer. Li Zhen held three arrows in his mouth and slowly pulled the bow and arrow. On a clear night, the moonlight was particularly bright, and the silver moonlight shone on the official road and the eight knights.

Li Zhen could see clearly that the second knight was carrying a leather bag, which revealed a square outline, which was the shape of the relic copper sleeve.

He pulled the bow and arrow and aimed at the second knight's horse under his crotch...

Every man is innocent and bears a treasure. The eight knights obviously did not realize that they were carrying the priceless treasure - Maitreya relics. Although they had raised their vigilance, the danger was accompanied by them.

On the big tree, before Li Zhen's arrow was shot out, countless cold lights suddenly flew out from the grass on both sides, and then screamed loudly, people and horses flipped, and eight knights rolled to the ground one after another, and then countless black shadows rushed out of the grass and swung their swords toward the knights rolling to the ground.

Li Zhen was stunned. He never expected that there was an ambush in the grass. The place he chose was indeed the best ambush place. The official road was slightly narrow, and the horse riders had to slow down their horses. On both sides were dense woods and grasses that were deep as deep as one person.

But... besides him, Li Zhen, who else is snatching the relics of the shadow?

Li Zhen had no time to think about it again. He had seen that the ambushing man threw a short spear. The four knights died on the spot, and the other four were injured, but all eight horses were shot to death.

The Wu family general carrying relics was not injured. He climbed up from the ground and ran away to the big tree where Li Zhen was ambushing. More than a dozen men in black were chasing him closely. Another Wu family general who was not injured only supported him for a few rounds and was killed by more than twenty men in black.

Just as the Wu family general ran past the big tree, Li Zhen fell from the sky, and the sword light flashed in his hand, and the long sword accurately cut off the leather belt on the back of the general.

He then used his long sword to pick the skin and rolled in the air. The man had reached more than ten feet away. The skin also fell from the air and landed in front of Li Zhen. His strength was extremely clever.

Just when Li Zhen reached out to grab the skin, an accident happened at this moment. A slender purple shadow flew past Li Zhen's head, reached out to grab it in the air, and the skin also disappeared with the purple shadow. This unexpected change was like a rabbit rising and falling, and it only happened in a short moment.

Li Zhen grabbed the silence and watched the skins in the purple-clothed man snatched away, which made him feel cowardly. Li Zhen was so angry that he stomped his feet hard and pulled his feet to chase him.

Too many incidents happened tonight. A group of men in black intercepted and killed the Wu family generals. Li Zhen took away the skin, but unexpectedly a Cheng Yaojin came out and snatched the skin that Li Zhen was about to get. This is a typical mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

A large group of men in black killed the last Wu family. They found that their skin had been lost and were unwilling to chase after them.

In the woods, Li Zhen pursued him relentlessly. In front of him was the place where Jiu Zhi and Kang Dazhuang met. Li Zhen did not see the two of them. He cursed in his heart, where did these two bastards go at the critical moment?

The man in purple ran to the hill with his skin in his arms, and the Ba River was in front of him. At this moment, Kang Dazhuang and Jiuzhi suddenly flashed behind the two big trees. Two swords on the left and right stabbed at the man in purple. The sword light was fast and it was hard to defend.

Li Zhen shouted excitedly, "Okay!" This ambush was very beautiful.

Unexpectedly, the man in purple was extremely agile. He actually rose into the air in the dead of fate, avoiding the sword of killing ambush by the two people. Then he stepped on Jiuzhi's shoulder, jumped onto a big rock with the help of his power, jumped into the Ba River, and soon disappeared.

Li Zhen chased after him, and the man in purple had disappeared in the Ba River. Jiu Zhi fell to the ground. The severe pain in his shoulder made him grin. Kang Dazhuang also looked at the Ba River in a daze. He could not figure out how the other party could avoid the killing attack between him and Jiu Zhi?

At this time, a group of men in black heard the shouts of shouts from afar. They gradually approached. Li Zhen had no choice but to pull Kang Dazhuang and Jiuzhi, and the three of them ran away along the Ba River.
