The moment the gunshot rang out, You Xuanfu, who was far away in the West City, was leading the guards downstairs in a hurry, and when he walked to the last step, he seemed to feel something, his face turned pale, and the feather fan he had forgotten to throw down in his hand fell to the ground because of his hurry.

"It's late...... It's over......" You Xuanfu's hands trembled slightly, his eyes rolled sharply, and he held his hands with each other to control the trembling, while constantly cheering himself up, "Don't panic, don't panic, think of a way, there will definitely be a way......"

The few tables of drinkers downstairs were stunned and stared at the large number of Left Guard soldiers who suddenly appeared, and their eyes widened. Until a guard yelled: "The left guard is on an errand, and the idle people are waiting to get out!" A group of drinkers immediately pushed the table and lifted the chairs, and crawled out of the wine shop.

A henchman approached and whispered, "My lord, it is important to catch those assassins first, if they fall into the hands of Xue Wei, it will be bad." ”

You Xuanfu's eyes lit up: "Yes, no matter what, you can only take the lead by striking first, and only by taking the initiative can you have vitality...... Walk! ”

As soon as the group rushed out of the West Market, a panicked guard ran up to them, one of the left guards who had gone with Cui Ao to stop him earlier.

This guard brought bad news, confirming You Xuanfu's unfortunate premonition - the crown prince and Ahma were both assassinated.

The guards also brought first-hand information from the scene, because almost no one had ever seen a shooting, whether it was the prince's servant or the cowardly Xue Suwei, so that when the prince and Ahma both spilled blood, many people still couldn't understand what was going on, and they didn't even know where the attack came from. By the time they reacted, the scene of the assassination was already a big mess, with many carriages on the field in chaos, people galloping and horses startling, vehicles overturning, and I don't know how many people and animals were killed or injured.

With such a chaotic scene, let alone arresting the assassins, it would be good to be able to keep yourself.

"The assassin has escaped! Okay, okay, we still have a chance! You Xuan's hands didn't tremble, and the person also trembled, and his eyes sharpened again.

The henchman said: "But the assassins will not return to the tea shop, nor will they return to any of the strongholds in the city, they will definitely escape from the city as quickly as possible, how can we intercept them?" ”

Another attendant said coldly: "They can't escape from the city, now that all the city gates are closed, they can't fly." ”

"You can't fly, but it's different here." You Xuanfu stepped on the ground, and there was an unpredictable smirk on the corner of his mouth, "Let Cui Ao lead people back as soon as possible; What is the situation of Wang Shu, Yan Yi, and Gao Monk? Can you come and meet after taking someone? ”

The henchman said: "Wang Qianhu and Monk Gao are in ambush outside the city, and now the city gate is closed, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the city." ”

"Okay, let Cui Ao and Yan Yi hurry to converge, and bring as many people as they can." You Xuanfu's eyes were like knives, and his murderous aura was condensed, "Bendu knows where they are fleeing—come with me!" ”

……

Before the construction of the Tonghui River, the water source of the whole city relied on the Lushui that ran into the west of the city. Lushui enters the capital section, because it eventually penetrates into the imperial palace and the imperial pond Taiye pool, so it is also called the "royal river" (also known as the jade river).

Historically, eleven years later, in the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1292), the Tonghui section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, presided over by Guo Shoujing, was expanded on the basis of this river. And finally formed an extremely extensive area of artificial Cao River - Jishuitan Haizi (that is, the origin of the later Beijing Jishuitan).

Of course, this is a later story, at this time the Tonghui River is also called Lushui, from west to east, through the Yimen sluice gate into the capital, to provide daily water for the people of the capital.

On both sides of this river, known as the Imperial River, there are large, deep and complex underground drainage and sewage channels. Whether it is the ordinary people of Dadu or the high khan in the palace, their excrement and domestic sewage, regardless of whether they are high or low, are all gathered here and discharged out of the city along the channel.

Of course, this underground drainage and sewage channel is built so large that it is comparable to an air-raid shelter, not only for the discharge of domestic sewage, but mainly for "drainage", that is, flood control. This point, as early as the Tang and Song dynasties of Chang'an and Kaifeng was quite perfect. In the Mengyuan period, it was naturally more in place.

The peculiarities of the underground drainage and sewage channels make this a world of snakes, rats and poisonous insects, and occasionally beggars or green-skinned ruffians burrow here, as for what they do, only God knows.

"Boom!"

Liu Biao struck a heavy blow with the iron garlic head (Song Dynasty sledgehammer) in his hand, and the last green-skinned scoundrel fell to the ground, his bleeding hand on the side of the ditch where the sewage flowed. Out of nowhere, a fat, wet rat suddenly popped out, making a creaking and biting sound while arching and sniffing, which made people shudder.

Jueyuan clasped his hands together and whispered the Sutra of Chaodu. Ding Xiaoyi and the other women were all disgusted and left quickly, eager to run to the end of the underground sewage channel immediately.

In the dark corner in the distance, a beggar in ragged clothes looked at this scene, trembling all over, and did not dare to take a breath.

After killing all the green-skinned scoundrels who were in the way, Liu Biao and a few black crows put away their weapons, picked up torches and looked forward to identify them, and said, "It's not far away, the sect master and they are waiting in front." ”

The group followed Liu Biao and continued to move forward.

Hongyun walked past Jueyuan and said, "Monk, don't read it." Don't blame Liu Biao for their ruthlessness, if we don't kill these people, our whereabouts will be exposed. Anyway, these green-skinned scoundrels aren't good people......"

Jue Yuan responded: "I'm still vulgar, I'm no longer a monk, but when I see a dead person, I can't help but recite a ......mantra of the past."

Everyone laughed and was in an unusually good mood - how could it be bad? This time this vote is too beautiful, to get rid of a Tartar prince and a Tartar prime minister. Such good fortune is like a dream. If it weren't for the fact that most of them were in chaos right now, searching and killing everywhere, they couldn't believe that it was really a prince - the real gold prince, it was really full of "real gold", he didn't fake it at all, he was the one who died!

With such a light mood and excitement, even if the underground sewage channel is full of all kinds of unpleasant smells and all kinds of disgusting pictures are disgusting, the members of the special task force can still ignore the way forward. This time it's worth it! It's worth it!

After turning around in the labyrinthine underground passage for an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of rushing water in the distance, and everyone was in high spirits, and it seemed that they were coming to an end.

After turning a corner, a misty fire appeared in front of them, and there were many figures.

Jueyuan, Yang Zheng, Ding Xiaoyi and others unloaded their weapons and were on high alert.

Liu Biao raised the torch and rotated it a few times in a certain arc, and the opposite side shook the torch in response.

"It's the Sect Master, them!" Liu Biao's tone was excited.

Sure enough, Jiang Zongjie's voice came from the opposite side: "But Jueyuan, Xiaoyi? ”

"It's us."

"Great, come here."

The crowd gathered together and rejoiced.

Jiang Zongjie snatched the torches from his subordinates, shone them one by one, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay!" Good! Everything is fine, and the old man is relieved! ”

"Elder Jiang, you are here, what about the other brothers? It won't ......"

"Everyone is fine, they are all doing their own responsibilities outside, only a few brothers were injured, and the damage is far lower than expected." Jiang Zongjie stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The original plan was to fight my way out of the encirclement, but fortunately, our 'savior' His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in time, disrupting the deployment of You Xuanfu's family, and had to launch it in advance before closing the encirclement, so that we and others could break out of the encirclement." Well, our gratitude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to send him into the Buddha Kingdom as soon as possible and get out of the sea of suffering. ”

"Hahahaha......"

"We can be regarded as doing a big thing that shook the world. Hahaha! ”

"The best part is that you can get out of it all right."

"By the way, the Mongol Tartars are still jumping on top of the chickens and dogs."

"Hahahaha......"

Jiang Zongjie smiled and pressed down on his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go out first and then be happy......

Before the words fell, a gloomy and sympathetic voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the passage: "Sect Master Jiang said goodbye, You Mou is very unhappy." ”
