Chapter 4
Seeing that the door of the workshop was opened, Li Boyu immediately stretched out his hand and dragged the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Don't delay any longer, go quickly!" The two of them got up in response, and the three of them walked towards the door of the workshop at a hurry. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Fang Gate, Li Tianran asked in a low voice: "In case the Fang Gate is sealed, we will use the East Palace Token to get out quickly!" ”
When Du Fu heard this, he immediately stopped, and said with a serious face: "This matter must not be affected, and it must not affect the East Palace, otherwise... I'd rather be captured and take all the blame on my shoulders! ”
Li Tianran's brows tightened, and he hesitated for a moment, but he had to respond: "It seems... I can only obey the will of God! ”
Du Fu didn't answer, the three of them continued to move forward, and they had arrived at the door of the workshop after walking a few steps, Li Tianran looked around, it seemed that everything was normal and nothing special, so he hurriedly stepped up his steps and prepared to leave the workshop.
Suddenly, someone on the side said, "Huh? Isn't this Mr. Du? Where are you going to go this early morning? ”
The three of them couldn't help but be startled when they heard the voice, Du Fu turned his head nervously to look, until he saw the person who was asking, and then he breathed a long sigh, it turned out to be the Li Zheng of Shengye Fang, Du Fu met him when he moved here, and it was normal to say hello to Du Fu at this time, but Du Fu and the three of them were highly nervous, and this opening couldn't help but startle the three of them. Du Fu took a deep breath and replied slowly: "It turned out to be Lord Lizheng, I'm not... I have official business and am busy going out of the workshop! As he spoke, he pointed to Li Tianran and the two beside him, and continued: "These two are Du's subordinates, and they are going to go out with Du. ”
Li Zheng smiled when he heard this: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Du is on official business, so please hurry... Before Li Zheng finished speaking, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from outside the door, and the sound sounded like no less than twenty or thirty horses, Du Fu couldn't help but sink in his heart, could it be that someone came from the right minister? He glanced at Li Tianran and Li Boyu on the left and right with a solemn face, and the two of them also looked grim, and could only wait and see how things developed.
Li Zheng looked out of the gate with his head in his head, trying to see who was coming, and at the same time, dozens of people on horseback also dismounted and entered the gate. The person who came was violent, with a domineering momentum, the leader looked around, and immediately shouted to everyone: "Pass the right order, there are thieves in Shengye Fang, today the fang is searched, no one is allowed to enter and exit before the thief is caught, and the violator will be beheaded!" As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of dissatisfied voices in the crowd, and there were no less than 100 people waiting to leave the workshop at this moment, most of whom were ready to go out of the workshop to make a living, which was equivalent to cutting off everyone's livelihood today; In addition, it was said that there were thieves in this workshop, and everyone couldn't help but whisper for a while.
Seeing this, the leader immediately shouted: "This is the order of the right minister, whoever dares to disobey will be killed immediately!" As soon as the words fell, everyone was too frightened to speak, and the front of the door became extremely quiet for a while. The leader saw that everyone didn't say much, so he began to look at everyone carefully, and he also knew in his heart that if the murderer last night was in Shengye Fang, then he must be in a hurry to get out of the workshop at this moment, and they are likely to be mixed in with more than 100 people! Suddenly, his gaze fell on Du Fu and the others, and Du Fu met his gaze, and he couldn't help but be startled, looking a little uneasy!
The costumes of Datang officials are mostly red, green, blue and other colors, the higher the official rank, the darker the color, for example, the clothes of the right minister are purple, and the ordinary people are mostly ephedra yellow plain clothes, Du Fu and Li Boyu wore black clothes last night, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, so the leader's eyes fell on the two of them in an instant, thinking about it carefully, just now Li Zheng will suddenly greet Du Fu, I am afraid that his black clothes have attracted Li Zheng's attention.
At this time, Du Fu and Li Boyu were also aware of this problem, but last night in a hurry, how could they have time to think about the problem of clothing, but they didn't expect that now they would reveal flaws because of this matter! Seeing that Du Fu's expression was indeed a little flustered, the leader was even more firm in his judgment, so he took a step forward and began to walk towards Du Fu step by step.
Just as he was hesitating, the leader had already walked two or three steps away from Du Fu, and Li Zheng hurried over when he saw this, pointing at Du Fu and pandering to the leader: "Master Jun, this is... ”
Li Zheng didn't finish speaking, but only heard two "swish, swish"! The cluster of arrows shot from nowhere, the leader and Li Zheng were impartial, and they were actually hit by an arrow at the center of their eyebrows, and both of them fell to the ground and stopped moving! The incident happened suddenly, and everyone was all stunned, even Li Tianran and the others were so shocked that they stayed in place and did not react. But just a moment later, someone in the crowd finally shouted, "Kill! Run! Then everyone woke up like a dream, and suddenly the crowd scurried and began to run around, crying and screaming one after another, and for a time the gate was in chaos, and the few sergeants guarding the gate could not control it at all.
Li Boyu finally came back to his senses, he tugged on the sleeves of the two of them, and secretly gave them a look, and the two of them understood, so they hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to squeeze outside the door, in this chaos, no one paid attention to the three of them anymore, and the three of them were lucky to go out of the door. But just walked out not far, and heard more horses' hooves behind him, presumably a large wave of people arrived, Du Fu didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" The three of them stepped up their pace again, hurriedly burrowed into the alley on the side, and rushed straight to Li Mi's mansion.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of Li Mi's mansion, the sky was already completely bright, but the three of them didn't dare to act rashly, they only dared to hide in the corner, and secretly observed from afar.
The three of them quieted down, Li Boyu thought for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Du, who shot Li Zheng and the others just now?" Is it the one who answers us? ”
Du Fu was stunned, couldn't help but shake his head, and responded: "It's not a secret, I don't know who it is?" All those who did it were killed last night, so how can anyone answer? ”
Li Boyu glanced at Li Yufu and said in a low voice: "Could it be too... Master Li secretly sent someone to protect us? Seeing that we lost our hands, so we came to help? ”
As soon as the words fell, Du Fu couldn't help but snort coldly, and sighed: "You think too well about people's hearts, according to my guess, if they were secretly monitoring from the beginning, seeing that we missed, in order to wash away the relationship, I am afraid that the arrow in the eyebrows just now will be... We! ”
Li Boyu's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, he looked a little incredulous, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered: "Then we are still looking for him at this moment, isn't it... Throwing yourself into the net? ”
Du Fu shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "If you don't look for him, who can you find?" If it weren't for their help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leave this Chang'an City, and even if we escaped, I am afraid we would inevitably be arrested for life! Now... I'm willing to make a gamble once, and I'll bet on their righteousness! ”
Li Boyu also looked helpless when he heard this, and nodded silently, it seems that this can only be the case! He suddenly turned to the side and asked Li Tianran, who had been silent all along, "Brother, you are the most intelligent, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Just now he was busy escaping, and Li Tianran didn't think about it, but at this moment, his heart was already like a mirror, and there was only one possibility to shoot the person in Lizheng, that is, the unknown one-Xiaoluo! Since Du Fu and others planned this matter, she has been secretly monitoring, and she must have been informing the right minister last night, otherwise it would be impossible for the right minister to be so accurate in time and place. It's just that what Li Tianran has been trying to figure out is who she is? Why the hell would she do that? Before these things were clarified, he didn't want to tell Du Fu his thoughts, so as not to cause extraneous branches, so he kept silent, at this time Li Boyu asked, he had to shake his head lightly, and sighed: "Don't hide it from my brother, this matter is too strange, I can't figure it out for a while!" ”
Li Boyu was about to continue to speak, only to see the door of Li Yu's mansion suddenly open, and it was Li Yu who walked out slowly, Du Fu immediately said: "Po Li, your clothes are normal, and it will not attract attention, so quickly step forward and tell me." Li Tianran nodded immediately when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and walked over.
When Li Tianran came to Li Mi, Li Mi was just about to enter the sedan chair, he looked up and saw Li Tianran, he was immediately stunned, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here so early?" ”
Li Tianran hurriedly leaned closer, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Back to Lord Li, Du... The gentleman is also here, and he has something to offer. ”
Hearing that Du Fu was also here, Li Mi immediately became grim, he knew in his heart that Du Fu would come here, something must have happened, so he didn't dare to delay, and responded in a low voice: "I'll go back to the house, you and others enter through the back door, and someone will lead the way." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mi immediately turned around and walked back to the house.
Under the guidance of Du Fu, the three of them went around and came to the back end of Li Fu's house, and sure enough, there was a small door, which should be specially used for people to enter and exit on weekdays. After entering, he found that there was a person standing by the door, he saw Du Fu, immediately bowed down, and said, "Mr. Du, come with me quickly." The trio did not delay and followed.
Li Mi's mansion is not big, just a few simple courtyards, but the courtyard looks fresh and elegant, extraordinarily quiet, there is a sense of paradise in it, which may be related to Li Mi's perennial cultivation, but at the moment he does not have this leisure and elegance to appreciate the courtyard, and after a while he came to a secret room behind the study of Li Mi's mansion. . .
