The people were getting closer and closer, and by the faint light in the front hall, the man in black faintly saw that the other party was wearing a white robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Alas, I'm old, and this night is also a trouble!" The person who came talked to himself, but he didn't find the man in black in the shadows.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, the man in black could hear that it was the shopkeeper of the gambling house who spoke.

The thatched toilet in the backyard is not far from Lu Xiaoxian's house, but not close to the shopkeeper Hu's house, and the shopkeeper Hu has to go around two corners at night to come over.

The order above is very clear, keep an eye on Lu Xiaoxian, and the man in black doesn't care about the appearance of the shopkeeper Hu.

Before the man in black had time to relax, Lu Xiaoxian's door also opened, and the man in black immediately raised his vigilance.

Someone put on a short coat and walked out, although he couldn't see his face clearly, the man in black could conclude that it was Lu Xiaoxian.

"Who?" The shopkeeper Hu, who was about to enter the toilet, heard the movement and asked softly.

"Shopkeeper Hu, it's me! Somehow I got stomach trouble! The voice was indeed Lu Xiaoxian.

While talking, Lu Xiaoxian also arrived in front of the toilet.

"Shopkeeper Hu, you come first, I'll wait!" Lu Xiaoxian said politely.

"Okay, Xiaoxian, I'll be out soon!" Shopkeeper Hu was very helpful to Lu Xiaoxian's respect.

The man in black couldn't see people clearly, so he saw the white clothes flickering into the latrine.

Shopkeeper Hu was really fast, and the man in black heard Shopkeeper Hu say to Lu Xiaoxian: "I'm going back, you go in!" ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper in a white shirt walked slowly towards his room, turned the corner and disappeared.

The man in black didn't care about looking at the shopkeeper Hu, but just stared at the direction of the toilet, for fear that something would happen.

After a while, Lu Xiaoxian, who was wearing a short coat, came out of the toilet and went straight back to his house.

……

The tall brick courtyard wall of Tiantong Gambling House, as well as the masonry arch under the eaves, looks simple and heavy in the night.

Across the street from the courtyard wall, Lu Xiaoyi was waiting anxiously.

Finally, a dark shadow slipped down quietly on the courtyard wall and ran quickly towards Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng was overjoyed in his heart, and when he approached, it was indeed Lu Xiaoxian.

Zhang Meng hurriedly asked, "How is it, Xiaoxian, you haven't been discovered, right?" ”

"No, let's go!" Lu Xiaoxian dragged Zhang Meng and ran.

Lu Xiaoxian's plan was very thorough, he knew that Yin Shi was the most lax time in the gambling house, and there was a great chance of success in escaping at this time.

Taking advantage of the darkness and taking the opportunity to go to the toilet, Lu Xiaoxian and Shopkeeper Hu quickly changed their clothes, and then returned to Shopkeeper Hu's room, while Shopkeeper Hu returned to Lu Xiaoxian's house.

This trick of the golden cicada shelling really worked, and the people who monitored it didn't even expect that they had swapped rooms.

Everything was as expected, when the man in black stared at Lu Xiaoxian's room, Lu Xiaoxian successfully escaped from the shopkeeper's house.

Of course, Lu Xiaoxian didn't want to flee Chang'an, but just deliberately created such an illusion for the other party. Because of this, they did not panic, but walked slowly towards the Mingde Gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Lu Xiaoxian smiled, the city gate was locked, and it was impossible to get out at all. The Chang'an City Gate is to be locked at night, and it is not yet the time to open the city gate, which is exactly what he wants.

Since they can't get out of Chang'an City, they can only wait for the people from the Vermilion Bird Gate to come to them.

The sky was bright, and there were gradually pedestrians on the street, and Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng were huddled under the courtyard wall of an alley.

On both sides of the alley are the courtyard walls adjacent to the civilian courtyards, which are dilapidated and quaint, overgrown with moss. Some of the courtyard walls are also covered with dense green creeper vines, and under the narrow shadow, it seems to sweep away some of the irritability in the hearts of the two, giving them a little cool feeling.

The first morning drum in Chang'an City finally sounded, Lu Xiaoxian stood up, stretched his waist fiercely, and said to Lu Xiaoyi with a smile: "You can go out of the city, let's go out and hang around, otherwise they can't find us, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi's escape is really weird, others are afraid of being discovered by the other party, but they are afraid that the other party will not find them.

The two got up and were about to walk forward, when Lu Xiaoxian suddenly showed a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the front.

Lu Xiaoyi also saw that seven or eight big men were like a half-ring, slowly walking towards them, tightly blocking them by the wall.

These people were all dressed in black, with a circle of purple thread on their cuffs, and they should be from the Suzaku Gate.

It's finally here, it seems that these people are not as bad as Lu Xiaoxian thought.

The men in black all had expressionless faces on their faces, staring coldly at Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Xiaoyi.

The leader was an old man with a gloomy face: "At a young age, I know how to play golden cicada shelling, it's very good!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't speak, just looked at the old man Huafa quietly.

The old man of Huafa coldly ordered: "Go back with us!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "I'm not going back!" ”

"I don't know how to lift!" The old man waved his hand, "Take it!" ”

Two men walked slowly, one carrying a knife and the other holding a large leather bag in his hand. Lu Xiaoxian remembered Huang Hu's remnants before he died, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Xiaoyi stepped in front of Lu Xiaoxian and blocked the two. At this time, he should stand in front, he promised Xue Huaiyi that he would never let anyone hurt Lu Xiaoxian.

"Look for death!" One of them raised his sword and slashed.

Lu Xiaoyi was faster than him, and before the person who raised the knife could see clearly, the knife fell to the ground from the air, and the person fell to the ground.

The old man with Huafa showed a vicious look on his face, and he slashed at Lu Xiaoyi in the air. Lu Xiaoyi could see that this person's kung fu was extremely high, and he didn't dare to take it hard, so he narrowly avoided this palm.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lu Xiaoyi's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Xiaoyi's ears: "Don't make a move, pretend not to understand martial arts!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian meant, but he still slowly stepped back with Lu Xiaoxian. Seeing this, the men forced them with a sly smile.

Seeing that the men were approaching, a hand suddenly reached out from the oblique thorn, and somehow, only a "poof" sound was heard, and the strong man who was forcing them fell straight out like a sack, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lu Xiaoyi found out that a white-clothed and cold figure stood in front of them at some point.

"Mr. Leng catches his head?" Lu Xiaoxian greeted Leng Qing with a smile.

Obviously, he had already discovered Leng Qing, so he said those words to Lu Xiaoyi.

"Master Lu, wherever you appear, you will be in trouble!" Leng Qing smiled bitterly and said to Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian had an innocent expression: "It's no wonder that I am, they want my life, it just so happens that you are here, so let's uphold justice!" ”

Leng Qing stopped talking.

The old man of Huafa squinted at Leng Qing and said slowly: "It turned out that Mr. Leng had arrived to catch his head!" ”

When he said this, the old man Huafa knew that the matter in front of him was a little tricky. Leng Qing's sudden appearance, but he didn't notice it, it can be seen that Leng Qing's skills are not below him.

Leng Qing still had a cold voice: "If I guess correctly, you are the protector of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Liu Chang, known as the 'Sword King'." ”

Leng Qing is the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, and the news is very wide, and there are few things he doesn't know in Chang'an City, so he broke Liu Chang's identity in one bite.

"Mr. Leng is really well-informed, even I, a person who rarely shows my head, knows it!" Speaking of this, Liu Chang's voice changed and said coldly: "Since you know that I am from the Vermilion Bird Sect, do you still have to meddle in things?" ”

If you offend the Suzaku Gate, you will offend the powerful Princess Taiping, and if you change someone else, you will definitely not wade into this troubled water. But Liu Chang just encountered Leng Qing, if he hid back, it would not be Leng Qing.

Leng Qing said lightly: "Since you know that I am the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, you still dare to commit crimes here?" ”

"I hope that Mr. Leng will think about it, or leave this matter alone, it won't do you any good to do it!"

Although he has the support of Princess Taiping, Liu Chang doesn't want to get into too much trouble with Leng Qing, after all, Leng Qing has the identity of the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, and he hopes that Leng Qing will retreat despite the difficulties.

Liu Chang was persuading Leng Qing, but in Leng Qing's ears, it was clearly a threat, and he said coldly: "I'm in charge of this matter!" ”

"Humph! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Liu Chang snorted coldly and said: "I know that Mr. Leng is a strong head catcher, and I, Liu Chang, also have a little reputation in the rivers and lakes, since Mr. Leng doesn't give face, then I will be offended!" ”

With that, Liu Chang pulled the knife out of his waist.

Liu Chang is known as the "King of Knives", and his kung fu on knives must not be weak.

According to the information that Leng Qing has, Liu Chang has fought with people thirty-four times, and the other party is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, he has not tasted a defeat, and no one knows how high his martial arts are, because none of the people who have fought with him have a living mouth.

Leng Qing looked at Liu Chang quietly and didn't move.

Liu Chang suddenly smiled and said: "I and eight of my subordinates are alone against you, what do you think is the chance of winning by Mr. Leng?" ”

Leng Qingxin was alone with Liu Chang, he was not afraid, but if the other party's eight people besieged him at the same time, his chances of winning would not be great.

Just as he was thinking about it, Leng Qing's eyes flashed, looked behind Liu Chang, and couldn't help frowning.

Liu Chang also felt something wrong, and was about to turn around, when a voice came from behind him: "Who said that you are only facing Mr. Leng and the head catcher, and I am also one!" ”

Liu Chang hurriedly turned around and saw a person standing behind him with his hands in his hands.

This man is in his thirties, handsome, with a carved face with distinct features, and an angular face that is unusually handsome. Wearing a deep scarlet official robe, wearing a silver fish bag, and wearing two Liang Xian crowns on his head, he looks like he is debauched and unrestrained, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him.

Liu Chang was shocked in his heart, not because of the identity of the other party's official, but because this person appeared three feet behind him, but he didn't know it at all, which showed that the other party's skills were much higher than his own.

If the other party made a sudden move just now, Liu Chang didn't dare to think about it, he really couldn't understand how there could be such a master among the court officials.

"Lady Cui!" Lu Xiaoxian learned Leng Qing's tone and said, "Where there is trouble, you are indispensable!" ”
