"Keep your eyes open and look at it, the black and white elders under Lord Yama are still far away from us, and countless little ladies still look at you with admiration!"

Li Wenyuan was in the middle of the team, and when he was encouraging morale, in the mountains and forests not far away, a man was panting and lying behind the trunk of a tree, and he saw the scene all over the place.

This mysterious person is not a bystander, it is one of the twenty night owl warriors who were selected through the heavenly selection in Zhangye County before, and this night owl heard the earth-shattering shouts that seemed to be coming from this official road before, and the shouts were faint among the trees and trees, and never dispersed. Thinking that Li Wenyuan left Zhangye County on this trip to move rescue troops, he guessed whether it might be Li Wenyuan's marching team? So even when he was alone, he ran in the direction where the sound came from.

After running for a while, I saw a large number of people passing by on the official road from a distance. So the night stalker directly chose the trunk closest to him and hid in the back. Then, listening to Li Wenyuan's morale-boosting remarks, and hearing the accent of the footsteps of the marching army that continued to step on the ground in unison, the night owl felt as if his heart had also been punched hard. It was as if the rhythm of his heartbeat was about to be taken away by the sound of neat and powerful footsteps.

Seeing that the brigade on the official road, under the leadership of the leader, was moving in the direction of Zhangye County, and under the banner of Tang characters. So this night owl guessed that nine times out of ten it was Li Wenyuan who led the team. So he followed all the way to the side, and finally by chance, he finally saw the face of the team leader, who was it not Li Wenyuan? So the night stalker took out a few items from his treasure bag.

When these objects are spliced together, it is a deadly Lianzhu fast crossbow, and when they are splicing, this night owl suddenly thinks that this team is now flying the banner of the Tang King, if he shoots Li Wenyuan in the barren mountains and mountains, it will be like this if he is not caught.

But if Li Wenyuan is shot in this situation, is it not clear that it is the crime of assassinating the king and killing the driver? What's more, his boss, that is, the leader of the night owl in Zhangye County, did not ask him to kill Li Wenyuan at the beginning, but only let himself find out Li Wenyuan's whereabouts, so why should he give himself life? It's better to go back to Zhangye County immediately and inform the night owl commander of this matter, than to make a decision on your own, and in the end, you can't catch the fox, but you get into a commotion.

So this night stalker brought Li Wenyuan's information back to Zhangye County, and the night stalker commander who got the news even wanted to gather men and horses, and went directly to the field to ambush and shoot Li Wenyuan, but was stopped by the night stalker next to him, and the night stalker said to the night stalker leader:

"Your Excellency, this is a different time. Li Wenyuan is now under the banner of King Tang and wants to enter our Zhangye County. Let's say that if he and Qiu Niang hid their identities and entered Zhangye County before, we would kill them, but there is also a way to cover up this matter.

But now that he has revealed his identity as the king of Tang, if we kill him again, isn't it clear that he is the assassin king? This is one of the most serious crimes in our Western Regions, and if you don't make a family, you will die.

And if Li Wenyuan survives, he may still open up to the babies in our family for the sake of his own image and his image as a saint in the hearts of the people, and let us leave a bloodline so that we will not end up in a desperate end.

But if Li Wenyuan dies, do you think those military figures under him will spare us? No matter how powerful and large our night owls are, they are always just rats hiding in the shadows and acting in the dark. If we start a conflict with the military, we may be demoralized and defeated. And one of us counts one, and whoever falls into the hands of those people in the military will not be able to fall well. Therefore, this matter must not be rash, we might as well treat it as if we don't know about Qiu Niang's matter and wait and see what happens. ”

The night stalker commander was persuaded by the night stalker next to him, and this can be regarded as calming down. Then he nodded and said to the night owl: "In the past, there was a Jiang Taigong by the side of the Second Emperor of Wenwu, Zhang Liang by the side of Han Gaozu, and Guo Jia by the side of Cao Gong, and now I have you by my side, which is really called a tiger with wings."

If it weren't for you stopping me, I would have made a big mistake at this moment. Then you pass on the order for me, and then the night owls in the city will perform their duties for a few days, and wait for the limelight to pass. Whoever causes trouble for me at this time, don't blame me for being ruthless and not remembering the old feelings. ”

In the gloomy dungeon below the firewood room, Qiu Niang lay pale on the thatch on the ground, panting heavily. It's not because of any strenuous exercise, it's just because the oxygen content in the underground is too thin, and only such a big gasp can barely maintain the oxygen needed for the daily operation of the body.

The bandage wrapped around the wound on Qiu Niang's right leg and calf has been mottled with blood and dust on the ground, and the dressing has not been changed for several days, and the wound is slightly pus. Some pus seeped through the gaps in the bandage, giving off an unpleasant smell. If it was a weekday, Qiu Niang would have vomited a lot. But now Qiu Niang has all her energy on how to ensure that she can survive, so she doesn't react to the stench emitted by the wound.

Not far away was the sound of footsteps and the sound of locks being opened, and chains passing over the iron gates. In this dark underground cell, people's vision has almost been lost, so Qiu Niang's hearing has become very keen. Judging by the sound of his footsteps, it should be the person who brought him the medicine a few days ago, not the jailer in this dungeon. So Qiu Niang lay quietly in place, waiting for the arrival of that person, and she was also very curious about what kind of surprise he would bring to herself when he came back.

Under the faint light of the soybean-sized oil lamp next to her, even if Qiu Niang's eyesight was outstanding, she could only barely see a person in front of her who seemed to be wearing a cloak.
