Chapter 32: Fierce Battle

Cuigu was right, Cao Shuang transferred a team of soldiers from the guard camp near the capital in the name of suppressing thieves, personally escorted the team, and brought a few enlightened people to surround the entire Jiyi Tower. In order to prevent the wind, martial law was imposed within two miles of the vicinity. Although Xiao Zhi laid eyeliner everywhere, they didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't get out, so they were so anxious that they couldn't do anything.

Cao Shuang swaggered into Jiyi Building with a big knife in his hand, and shouted triumphantly: "Search!" ”

After listening to the order, the people who had followed Xiao Zhi before had already led the soldiers to look for Guo Zhang Shen Lian and them, these people were well-trained and refined in channel skills. From the moment Xiao Yan learned about Xiao Zhi's Weifu visit, he sent them to monitor him at all times, and he also learned a lot of clues about Xiao Zhi. Today, Xiao Yan invited Xiao Yan to go on an outing, and Xiao Yan knew his thoughts - he wanted to make peace, in order to prompt both parties to make up their minds as soon as possible, Xiao Yan persuaded Cao Shuang to arrest all these people who had contact with Xiao Zhi and give Xiao Zhi a threat.

Cao Shuang naturally hopes that his brother will be the king, and then he will not be a little general, but a prince! Thinking of this, he searched harder and personally led his soldiers to Jiyi Tower. The people who ate in the building were scared enough, and they fled in all directions. When he arrived at Guo Zhang's place, the person who followed him recognized at a glance that the white-faced scholar in the dark robe in front of him was one of the people who had close contacts with Xiao Zhen, and he gave Guo Zhang two slaps and grabbed him.

All of a sudden, there were soldiers everywhere, and there were shiny swords, guns, and swords. Lu Qixiang, the big shopkeeper of Jiyi Building, was also a little scared, so he just stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound, and told the guys to inform the door owner and let them prepare early. Shen Lian walked to the front with a vivid look, and saw the soldiers grabbing Guo Zhang and stepping forward, walking calmly, and asking Cao Shuang: "General Cao Shuang led his troops to besiege the small shop, and captured the guests in the shop, I don't know what happened?" ”

Cao Shuang didn't know Shen Lian, so he only asked loudly, "Who are you, come here!" β€˜β€™

Shen Lian replied: "He is just an ordinary businessman, who has always been law-abiding, and no one in this area knows or knows." I don't know why the general led people to destroy the store and raid the house for no reason. I want to ask, this peaceful world, Langlang Qiankun, the capital of Qi, the foot of the Son of Heaven, which statute in the law do you follow? ”

Cao Shuang saw that this person was not very old, but his bearing was different from ordinary people, and he was so stubborn when he spoke, he shouted: "This person's origin is unknown, General Cao Ze will interrogate him personally!" This shop harbors Qin criminals, dare to say that he is not guilty? Acquaintances get away. ”

Shen Lian smiled, walked straight to the opposite side of Cao Shuang, bowed down and asked: "The general said that this Jiyi Building harbors Qin's order repeat offenders, I don't know who the witness is, where is the physical evidence, take people to search the store, and arrest people casually, is there a clear decree issued by the imperial court?" ”

Cao Shuang was so angry that there was fire in his eyes: "I don't know how thick the sky is, who will fight with you, and only after catching you will know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!" As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and struck Shen Lian with enough Dao Qi. I thought to myself, this slap will not give you half your life, but also make you kneel and beg for mercy!

How do you know that Shen Lian still said slowly as if he was fine: "Even if Ouchi comes to arrest people, he must also show the edict, this is the rule." As he spoke, he dodged away. Cao Shuang just said the words "You are not worthy of ......", only to feel a chill in his neck, and when he looked down, a sword was against his neck, faintly glowing with blue light, and the person holding the sword was Shen Lian.

In less than a word, he not only dodged the attack but also took a stand, and the speed of this person made Cao Shuang smack. His heavy blow was in the air again, Cao Shuang was angry and anxious, gritted his teeth and shook his hands and shouted: "This stinky boy has witchcraft!" ”

As soon as Cao Shuang suffered a loss, several soldiers rushed with knives, but as soon as they stood on their heels, three or four people had been knocked to the ground by the vividness beside them. Shen Lian held the sword and said with a smile: "It's not that I have demon methods, it's that everyone can't do it." They have no royal decree or written to take people, and they are no different from thieves. How can thieves be allowed to go wild here in broad daylight? ”

Everyone saw that Shen Lian's sword was against Cao Shuang's vital point, and the two people around him were also good players, and they didn't dare to act rashly anymore. Shen Lian saw that no one dared to step forward again, but he still smiled, said "offended", took back the sword and took Lu Qixiang, vividly and a few guys to the bamboo forest behind.

All of a sudden, aggressive, and all of a sudden, suddenly stopped. Cao Shuang and his entourage were in a fog, and they reacted for a long time. The person who was following him looked at him for a long time and said, "General, this person is also one of the people who have close contacts with the king. ”

Cao Shuang was furious, rushed over in person, straightened the knife, and went straight to Shen Lianhou's heart. Seeing that he was about to be stabbed, Lu Qixiang, who was following alongside, shouted in fright after such a sinister scene: "Be careful, the door master!" Shen Lian had already felt the sword wind, he knew that Cao Shuang was following closely, but he didn't fight back immediately, he only used his sword to block a few moves, and hurriedly led everyone to the bamboo forest pond.

Finally arrived at the edge of the pond, Shen Lian whispered, "I and Wei Qiao are dragging this side, you take someone to prepare quickly." Wei Miao agreed, and ran to the nearby forest with his guys, leaving only Shen Lian and Wei Qiao standing on the small bridge in the pond, Lu Qixiang didn't know martial arts, so he hid aside.

This bamboo forest is located in the middle of nowhere, built on the mountain, some distance from the Jiyi Tower. Cao Shuang and his soldiers easily followed Shen Lian to the vicinity of the pond, but saw Shen Lian standing still on the small bridge with a person, holding a sword in his hand as if waiting for them. couldn't help shouting, "Why, you can't escape, it seems that you are also the person we are looking for, come with us honestly!" β€œ

"Who said I was going to run away?" The sword was unsheathed, and in an instant, blue light flashed, and Shen Lian sneered, "It's just a good place to collect the corpses and clean you up!" β€œ

"That's how I was underestimated." Cao Shuang's green muscles burst out, gathered his Dao Qi on the knife, and slashed straight at Shen Lian.

The swords intersected, and for a while, the Dao qi of the two burst out one after another, the white light and golden light were intertwined, and the power was huge, and the soldiers did not dare to step forward. The enlightened people who came with him gathered their strength to make moves, but they were all blocked by Wei Qiao on the side.

The two sides are in the middle of a battle, but with a stick of incense, Shen Lian and Cao Shuang have gone through dozens of moves, and it is difficult to distinguish. Cao Shuang saw that Shen Lian was just blindly dodging, and occasionally attacking was not doing his best, so he felt a little sure in his heart, and said triumphantly, "Your Taoism is not bad, but it's a pity that there are only two of you, and you can't compete with so many of us who have attained the Dao, so let's just tie your hands and arrest it, with your skills, you can still get an official and a half-position in the General's Mansion." ”

Shen Lian calmly made a move, and although the situation was unfavorable, he did not panic, "There are so many of you who have dealt with the two of us, and you haven't won it for so long." It only shows that you are useless. Still looking relaxed, "Why should I go away with a bunch of garbage?" ”

"It's a pity, obviously I still appreciate you, heroes cherish heroes!" Cao Shuang smacked his lips and laughed angrily, "But since you have already caught a live mouth, there is no need for you to live." ”

The common attack of the enlightened people is difficult to resist for a long time, even if they are good at defense and good at defense. The Dao Qi was exhausted, and the dirt road used for protection was also opened a gap by the other party, and the strong Dao Qi was like a flood that burst the embankment and hit the two of them, and they were about to hit Shen Lian.

In an instant, the water in the pond gathered into a wall of ice, blocking the flood from bursting the embankment, and the ice wall collided with the oncoming Dao Qi and shattered into pieces. Where does the Tao Qi come from? Cao Shuang was in a daze, only to see a black horse rushing out from behind the broken ice wall, roaring and rushing straight forward, knocking Cao Shuang, who was in a daze, to the ground.

"Eh! It hurts me to death. The horse that suddenly appeared collided with Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang was caught off guard, lying on the ground and rolling in pain.

Shen Lian didn't react, so he dodged the fatal blow, and when he looked back, he saw a young woman with half of her face covered, holding a thin sword in her handβ€”it was a sword that Shen Lian was familiar with and had fought with him. The woman was sweating profusely, half-bowed, trying to adjust her breath, muttering, "Finally..... Finally caught up. ”

The delicate eyebrows that couldn't be hidden even if half of his face were covered, the sword that was familiar and couldn't be more familiar, the woman who haunted him, appeared in front of him in this way at this moment.

It's great to be alive until now. Twenty-eight years of dark and cruel life, countless escapes from death, Shen Lian thought about it for the first time, and couldn't help but say. "Su Wan, why are you here?"

Su Wan put her finger to her lips and motioned for him not to say her name, finally took a breath and said, "Aunt Cui stopped the king's car and said that Guo Zhang was arrested, so I will come over to take a look." ”

Shen Lian looked at Su Wan and saw that she was covered with small wounds, and the thin blood stains were especially obvious on her white clothes. The hosta on her head also fell off at some point, her hair was scattered, and her earrings were still swaying from side to side with her unsteady breath.

Su Wan saw Shen Lian looking at herself with some concern, and only then did she remember her embarrassed appearance and explained, "The soldiers in front of me were too tightly surrounded, so I had to come from the mountain in a detour." There are some scratches, and they don't tighten. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lian was a little happy, and a little distressed for her. Helping Su Wan and Wei Qiao to hide behind the rocks together, the smile returned to his face at some point, and quipped, "Since the day I joined forces with the king, I have been prepared for today's situation, so naturally there is a way to deal with it, you don't know, so why did you rush over?" ”

When Su Wan heard this, she didn't think about it, and turned Shen Lian's body so that he was facing her. The two eyes only looked at Shen Lian fixedly, as if they wanted to imprint him in their minds, "Since you want to hear it, I will tell you clearly." ”

"I was worried about your safety, so I came to you desperately and saved you in time. Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

"Satisfied, of course satisfied." Shen Lian looked at Su Wan's eyes and listened to Su Wan's words in a daze, as if he saw his own figure in her eyes. After a long time, Lang Sheng laughed and said, "I don't know why, but I'm a defeat to you." ”

When? When she was still thinking about how to make her heart move for herself, she already had her own shadow in her eyes.

Shen Lian, the master of Rashomon, Shen Lian, who is always the first to smell business opportunities, and Shen Lian, who is always one step ahead, was emotionally preempted by others.

But I was so happy that I felt like I had gotten the whole world.

"What now, what's your backhand?" Su Wan asked.

"Right now, now." Seeing that Wei Miao appeared in his sight with someone, Shen Lian knew that everything was ready.

Cao Shuang struggled to stand up with the support of everyone, looked at the horse that fell to death, and stepped forward and stabbed a few times, "What is not long-eyed, Lao Tzu dares to hit it." ”

When he turned around, he saw that there was already a sea of fire in the bamboo forest, and the strange man with deep Taoism, and the people with him, had disappeared.
