Chapter Seventy-Nine: Escape

Seeing that Li Shimin next to him was coaxed by a group of people around him, and looked embarrassed, Cheng Yanjin sighed enviously, turned his head and raised his wine glass, and said to Li Jiancheng beside him, "Come on, eldest prince, it's done!" ”

Li Jiancheng put down his wine glass and said to Cheng Yanjin, "What? But envy? It's a shame to hear that you haven't started a family yet! ”

Cheng Yanjin squinted at him, "Hmph, I just envy the good luck of the second son, as for myself, I will have a chance in the future, but it's a pity!" ”

"In the future, do you still have a future?" Looking at Li Jiancheng's confident face, Cheng Yanjin retorted, "The eldest prince's words are not right, he is still sitting here dignifiedly, how can there be no future, we have already said that tomorrow morning, when I get out of this Jinyang Mansion, let's settle the previous grievances, is the eldest prince so sure that there will be no future?" You must know that people are not as good as heaven, and the eldest prince can't overturn the boat in the gutter! ”

"Oh, then Li should take a good look at how you get out tomorrow!" Seeing that Li Jiancheng's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, Cheng Biting Jin laughed and filled the wine, "Big Prince, let's continue drinking!" Please! ”

The guests who came to congratulate Li Shimin made a fuss for a long time, and when they saw Li Yuan come out, they immediately turned their attention to him. You must know that this Li Yuan is the lord of a valve, who dares to make fun of him on weekdays, but today is the big day of the second son of his house, taking this opportunity, everyone wants to embarrass the head of the Li family, everyone is happy, anyway, in this festive day, it doesn't hurt.

That Li Yuan was entangled by the guests, everyone had long heard of his amazing archery, but most of the guests who came to congratulate him had never seen it with their own eyes, so they had to see it anyway at this time. Hearing the coaxing of everyone over there, Cheng Yanjin also shouted and cheered on the side.

This Li Yuan's martial arts, especially the kung fu of the bow and arrow, are extremely skillful. Legend has it that when Li Yuan's wife Dou reached the age of marriage, her father Dou Yi said: "This daughter has a strange appearance and extraordinary knowledge, how can she marry casually!" So he drew two peacocks between the screens, and let each of the suitors shoot two arrows, and he secretly determined that whoever could shoot the peacock in the eye would be given to whomever he wanted.

More than dozens of people were shot, all of which did not meet the requirements, and Li Yuan finally shot two arrows and hit the peacock's two eyes, so the Dou family married their daughter to him. This incident was rumored to be a beautiful talk at the time, and everyone in the world knew about it. It's a pity that Li Yuan rarely did anything with people in the future, so no one has ever seen his unparalleled archery skills again.

Li Yuan was reluctant by the guests, so he had to agree to show his skills. However, he also put forward the condition, that is, he needed to stand there alone, put a pear on his head, and then he stood three hundred paces away and shot his bow and arrow.

After listening to Li Yuan's request, all the guests, you look at me, I look at you, no one is willing to take risks, and there is that clever person who wants to go out and call someone in. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan touched his beard and smiled slightly: "The old man has already been selected!" As he spoke, he came to Cheng Yanjin under the gaze of a bunch of guests, "This strong man next to the dog has an extraordinary demeanor, and he looks like a good man, but I don't know if this strong man is willing to give the old man a hand?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed, "The invitation of the seniors, how dare the juniors refuse?" Come on, hand over the pear! Put the Yali pear on top of his head, and Cheng Yanjin stood against the wall. He knew in his heart that this Li Yuan must have known about himself and Li Jiancheng, so he gave himself a dismount in front of the public and extinguished his prestige.

As for taking the opportunity to kill, it is unlikely, with his status as Li Yuan, if he wants to pinch himself to death, he still needs to do it himself, and he doesn't need to do it with such a lame excuse, otherwise not only he Li Yuan himself, but also the entire Li family will be laughed at by the people in the rivers and lakes.

What's more, take 10,000 steps back and say, this Li Yuan rat belly chicken intestines just want to take this opportunity to slaughter himself, and he will not give him a chance. That day, when the miraculous skill of seeing and hearing was used, not to mention an arrow that was shot, even the hairs on Li Yuan's body, who was standing three hundred steps away, could be seen clearly. If the arrow is coming up at your head, you should dodge it when the time comes.

Looking at the arrow that flew away from the bowstring, Cheng Biting Jin did not dodge or dodge, and let the arrow fly to the top of his head without changing his face. There was only a thud, and the arrow passed through the pear and nailed to the wall. When everyone was stunned, Cheng Yanjin moved away, looked at the arrows on the wall, turned his head to Li Yuan, and complimented, "The predecessor is really good at martial arts!" The guests who were awakened by his voice stepped forward one after another and complimented Li Yuan.

In the evening, when the guests gradually dispersed, Cheng Yanjin said to the eldest grandson Wenxiu, "Bride, you wait a while, I will borrow a little time from your husband and say a few words to him!" As he spoke, he pulled Li Shimin outside in front of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and others, and when he passed by Li Jiancheng's side, Cheng Yanjin said to him, "The eldest son, I have some private things to say to the second son, if you are not at ease, I am afraid that I will escape far away, how about following far behind?" ”

"It's not necessary, Your Excellency, please!" Li Jiancheng seemed to say politely. Cheng Yanjin saw that he was pretending to be generous, and he despised it with disdain in his heart, this bastard didn't know that the gate of this Jinyang Mansion had been closed a long time ago, and he would definitely not be able to get out, so he deliberately sold it in front of people.

Pulling Li Shimin to the street, seeing that there was no one around, Cheng Yanjin listened carefully, and did not notice that there were people in ambush around him, so he turned his head to Li Shimin and said, "Brother, this time my brother is really causing trouble for you, so you can't live on your big day, it's really a shame." It's all to blame for the carelessness of my brother, the murder was not clean, my brother will leave tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet in the future, brother, you have to take care! ”

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Biting Jin, sighed, and persuaded him, "Brother, if you don't go to admit your mistake with my eldest brother and apologize, the younger brother will go around again, and he will definitely save his brother's life, why should my brother be a good man and give his life in vain." My eldest brother has always done things without revealing anything, not to mention that the city gate has been closed a long time ago, even if my brother is afraid that tomorrow he will not be able to escape.

Brother Hao learned that when the younger brother came back, the generals of my Li Mansion had already gone out of the city and waited in ambush outside the four city gates. It really didn't work, so the younger brother went to beg his mother and asked her old man to intercede on his behalf, thinking that my eldest brother still listened to her old man's words very much, so as to keep my brother thoughtful! ”

"Haha, brother is kind and my brother understands it, but my brother doesn't have to bother your mother for this little thing, don't worry, my brother's skills are very big, and he has his own way to escape, but the retainer who recommended it to his brother a few days ago, my brother really can't rest assured. Don't hide it from your brother, that Hou Junji is the person rescued by your brother's men who killed your eldest brother, and his injuries were caused by your eldest brother's men.

Because he has been recuperating in the house for the past few days, he has not shown up, but the paper can't contain the fire, and the matter will be known by your eldest brother after all. Although it is said that the elder brother has already agreed with your eldest brother, and all the things related to the elder brother are taken care of by the elder brother, so that your brother will not trouble him in the future, but once the elder brother escapes, I am afraid that your eldest brother will be angry and will not keep his promise.

Hou Junji's injury has not completely healed, and it is inconvenient for my brother to take him with him, so I have to ask my brother to take good care of you, I hope my brother can save his life, and my brother will be at ease! ”

"Where does my brother say it, as long as the younger brother still has a breath, he will definitely be able to protect his life, and he will never live up to his brother's expectations!" Looking at Li Shimin's firm expression, Cheng Yanjin relieved his heart, "Then my brother will thank you first, and when we meet in the future, my brother is inviting you to eat and drink!" ”

Sending Li Shimin back to the mansion, Cheng Yanjin said to Li Jiancheng, "Master Li, I'm going to go back to wash and sleep here, do you want to be together?" ”

Li Jiancheng blushed and said with an angry smile, "You are a person who is about to die, and you have such a good complexion, it is really rare, my son is not as knowledgeable as you, you go back by yourself, Li wants to see how you die tomorrow!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin laughed: "In the next place, you may not be able to make the eldest son, you wish!" Saying that, he saluted Li Yuan, and then turned his head and left, "Everyone, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and there will be a period later!" ”

Returning to his original residence and closing the door, Cheng Biting Jin listened attentively, and found that the spies of the Li Mansion behind him did not enter the courtyard, but spread out all around, faintly surrounding this courtyard and closely surveilling. Obviously, Li Jiancheng was really meticulous enough in doing things, for fear that Cheng Yanjin would abscond overnight, he actually sent additional people to monitor day and night, and it is estimated that he will be killed when he comes to invite him out of the city early tomorrow morning.

After listening carefully for a long time, and finding that the spies had no movement, Cheng Yanjin immediately walked to a water tank in the middle of the house, and lightly moved the water tank away, revealing a hidden tunnel below.

This tunnel out of the city was quietly dug when the people of the Salt Gang Suzaku Hall first came here, and it belonged to the standard equipment of the Salt Gang distributed in various county seats, and the original meaning was to use this tunnel in and out of the city gate to transport private salt, and later when the Salt Gang business all turned to the south, this tunnel was useless, and the courtyard was abandoned.

And when Cheng Yanjin came to Jinyang Mansion this time, out of his usual caution, he specially asked the leader of the dark pile here to vacate the courtyard with a tunnel. I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Put down his line, Cheng Yanjin stood in the tunnel, transported the internal force, and struggled to put the water tank back in place, blocking the entrance to the tunnel, and then he walked in the direction of the tunnel with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After walking for about three miles, he came to the exit of the tunnel, Cheng Yanjin listened carefully for a long time, and found no abnormality, so he gently lifted the lid and crawled out of the tunnel. Looking back at the Jinyang Mansion shrouded in the night, Cheng Biting Jin smiled, turned his head and walked in the direction of his hometown.

Hou Junji was sent to Li Shimin's mansion by him long before Li Jiancheng arrived, as long as there was no accident, Li Jiancheng would not be able to find him for a while. And the Salt Gang's manpower in Jinyang Mansion, Cheng Yanjin has already made arrangements, those whose identities have not been exposed will stay and continue to be responsible for investigating the news, and like those Xiao Shi and others who have come forward to receive him, he has already notified them in secret language, asking them to go out of the city before sunset today, and each of them will return to the Salt Gang General Altar through different channels.

Therefore, Cheng Biting Jin's departure can be said to have no worries. Along the way, thinking of Li Jiancheng's annoyed and angry appearance when he found that he was nowhere to be found the next morning, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but want to laugh. It's just that Li Jiancheng has suffered such a big loss, and I'm afraid that this Jinyang Mansion will not be able to come openly in the future.
