Xuan Yi and Yan Yu returned to Ziyun Temple and sent Yan Yu back to their own room. At this time, Yin Chonghua hadn't slept yet, and was sitting in the room alone with her cheeks puffed out and angry, but she still opened the door for them as soon as possible, but when she pulled Yan Yu into the door, she looked them up and down with her eyes, as if asking: "What are you doing when you go out so late?" Sure enough, at the moment when the door closed, Xuan Yi faintly heard: "You have been out for so long......"

"Maybe I'll add, 'I'm going to tell Master' or something." Xuan Yi thought as he shook his head with a smile, then turned around and walked towards Xuanfa's room. walked to the door and gently patted the door: "Senior Brother Xuanfa, have you slept?" "People in this era generally go to bed early at night.

"Is there something wrong?" The occult asked through them.

"There are some important matters that need the help of senior brother." Xuanyi said outside the door.

There was a rustling sound in the room, as if he was getting dressed. Then the door opened, revealing the face of the occult law.

"What's the urgency?" Xuanfa asked.

"To hunt down a man, you must move now, or you won't be able to catch up with them." Xuanyi said.

"Kill whom?" Xuanfa didn't seem surprised.

Xuan Yi pointed his finger at Tiandao: "You can't say it, if you say it, there will be changes." ”

"As soon as you say it, there will be a change?" Xuanfa was really taken aback, although he was not a core inner disciple, but he also knew that as long as he mentioned it, there would be changes, which contained the meaning.

"Well, I'll explain to Senior Brother in a while." Xuanyi said.

"Hmm," Xuanfa nodded, calming down for a moment, and then asked, "Is the idea hard, I'll go and call the breeze." ”

Xuan Yi said: "The idea theory should not be too hard, there are four people around, and only two of them may be able to fight." However, the lion fights the rabbit, and you must do your best. Senior brother, there should be a strong crossbow in the view, right? Bring it with you, too. ”

According to the law of Jokhang, the crossbow is hidden. The bow is to be judged according to the conspiracy. But Xuanyi's master was originally a person who participated in the Fulong Court, so he naturally didn't care about the private crossbow. Bow this one.

"Yes, I'll pick it up. Senior brother, you go and call Qingfeng yourself, he lives in the room next to the front room, and the Hu brother lives next door to him. ”

Xuan Yi nodded and went forward. Xuan Fa returned to the house, lit the lamp, opened the secret passage, and walked down. After a while, Xuanfa carried two crossbows on his back. Bows, two bags of crossbow arrows came out. He walked to the front yard, and at this time, Xuanyi, Qingfeng, and Hu Yidao were already leading their horses and waiting for them here.

Seeing that everyone was together, Xuan Yi said: "Let's go and kill people, the other party has five, and two have kung fu." In addition, it is night, and they may still have some evil things, so everyone should be careful. If there is such a thing, Senior Brother Xuanfa and I will deal with it, but you should also be careful. ”

Hu Yidao and Qingfeng both responded with a "yes".

The occult method will be a crossbow. The bow was handed to Qingfeng first, and then he asked Hu Yidao, "Brother Hu, will you use this?" ”

Hu Yidao said: "Yes." ”

The occult method then took another crossbow. The bow was handed to him. Hu Yidao took it, and Xuan Yi said again: "When the time comes, let's do it first and kill those two guards with crossbow arrows." I'll talk about that later. ”

Hu Yidao and Qingfeng nodded. Xuan Yi led the horse to take the lead in removing the gate, and then said, "You all follow me." So he turned on his horse and hurried to the north by the light of the moon.

……

Probably because of the similar living habits, the prince of Fuwang, like his father, is also a fat man. It's just probably because he is still young and only in his thirties, so his physical strength is still much stronger than his father. At this time, although tired and hungry, he could barely continue to walk. It's just that on this day and night, in order to avoid the pursuers, they didn't dare to walk on the main road, and could only take some small roads that few people walked. Fortunately, God blessed me and walked like this for a day and a night, but I did not encounter a thief or lose my way. Even when passing through a woodland, one of the guards caught a four-foot-long white snake, peeled it off, and cut it into pieces with a knife, but because he didn't dare to make a fire, for fear that the smoke of the fire would attract thieves, he had to eat it raw. Several hungry people, including the prince of Fuwang, endured nausea and ate a while. But this snake meat has provided them with valuable energy and supported them to go a little further.

It's night, and it's too inconvenient and dangerous to walk the trail at night. A few of the fugitives went up the road and walked for a while by the moonlight. The exhaustion of a whole day of fleeing finally caught up with them, first of all, the prince of Fuwang could no longer walk.

In fact, not only the prince of Fuwang, but also the two guards and the two eunuchs were also extremely tired. Now that they have been walking for a day and a night, there is also some distance from Luoyang, according to reason, unless those thieves know where they are and deliberately chase them, otherwise, they should have escaped from the control of the thief army. There seems nothing wrong with taking a break at this point.

On one side of the official road, there is a dead gray-white tree. The tree did not die naturally, but it was grayish and white because all its bark had been stripped down and eaten by the homeless people who passed by. Underneath this tree, there is a large, flat bluestone. A few people walked over, and a eunuch first wiped it on the bluestone with his sleeve, and then helped the prince of Fu to sit down.

"You two, squat down and lean on my back." King Fu said.

The two eunuchs walked behind the prince of Fu Wang and squatted down with their backs to him. The prince of Fu Wang leaned his back on their backs, closed his eyes half-lying, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

With Emperor Taizu's guidance, Xuan Yi could clearly feel that they were getting closer and closer to their targets. He slowed down his horse, knowing that in such a quiet night, the sound of the horse's hooves could be heard far away.

"Dismount." Xuan Yi said, "They are not far away. ”

Then they dismounted and tied their horses to the side. Everyone knew that Xuan Yi must have a secret technique, so they didn't ask.

Xuan Yi took out the tablet of the small Emperor Taizu and put it in front of him and bowed twice. In the dim moonlight, everyone couldn't see what was written on it. But after Xuan Yi bowed twice, everyone felt that the surrounding environment suddenly brightened up by two points, and the places that were not clear just now can be seen clearly. It's just that the text on the small tablet is still not clear.

Several people knew that there must be an article in it, but they also knew that there were some things that could not be asked, so they didn't open their mouths.

"What we are going to kill this time is the son of King Fu. This time we only kill people, do not catch those who are alive, and leave no living mouths. Because this matter involves a great power, even after this matter is over, you should not talk about it to anyone. Failure to do so may be a hazard to yourself and those who hear it. Got it? At this time, Xuan Yi could be regarded as giving everyone a little foundation.

Xuanfa and Qingfeng both know how powerful this is, although Hu Yidao doesn't understand the stakes, but the more he doesn't understand, the more terrifying he feels. So the three of them agreed together.

"They are now about a mile from us, and now they have stopped, probably resting." Xuan Yi said in a low voice, "Let's touch it and kill their guards first." Be careful not to alarm them. ”

A few people touched along the official road, and after walking for more than half a mile, Xuan Yi lowered his figure, got down from the official road, and jumped into a dry canal next to him.

This canal may still be part of a water conservancy project dug by Emperor Injong or Emperor Xuanzong, but now it is useless because of its age and lack of maintenance. But it is most convenient to use it as cover at this time.

A few people touched lightly along the canal, and after a while, they touched a place that was only about fifty steps away from King Fu and the others. Here, the dry canal turns a corner, and if you want to go any further, you can't rely on the canal to cover it.

Several people stopped, and Hu Yidao and Qingfeng took the crossbow from their backs. Bow and step on the crossbow with your foot. The pull ring on the front of the bow, pull the bowstring with both hands, and exert force at the waist to turn the crossbow. The bow was pulled apart, and the bolts were lightly loaded. Then the two cautiously emerged from the dry canal and aimed their crossbow bolts at a target fifty paces away.

If it was in the daytime, with such a strong crossbow, from a distance of fifty paces, to sneak attack two unaware people, in Hu Yidao's opinion, there should be no difficulty. He can even shoot his opponent's head accurately from such a distance. At night, though, things are a little different, with dim light making aiming more difficult. Even Hu Yidao was not sure that he would hit the opponent's vital point with one arrow. So he lowered his demands on himself a little and aimed at the chest of the guard a little to the left.

The two guards stood there, looking in all directions, but they didn't move. Hu Yidao held his breath, slowly pulled the crossbow machine, and with the "bang" of the bowstring, the crossbow arrow shot towards the guard fifty paces away. Immediately after, the sound of the bowstring vibrating sounded in his ears again.

Fifty paces is only a fraction of a moment for a crossbow arrow. The arrow that Hu fired with a knife hit the guard in the chest, and the guard shook and stretched out his hand to the sky as if trying to grasp something, but finally fell to the ground.

But the arrow that Qingfeng shot a little later missed. It wasn't because he didn't aim at the other guard, but because the guard showed amazing dexterity, and the moment the breeze fired his crossbow arrow, he suddenly rolled to the side, and the arrow flew past his body.

"There are thieves!" The guard shouted, and at the same time pulled the goose feather knife from his waist. The prince of Fu Wang and the two eunuchs were also awakened by this shout.

"Little prince, let's go, I'll break the queen!" The guard shouted.

"Ahh King Fu exclaimed. He jumped up and ran, only to fall on the ground and sprain his ankle. The two eunuchs hurriedly picked him up and ran forward.

Xuan Yi and the others had already jumped out of the dry canal at this time, pulled out their swords, and rushed up without saying a word.
