Wen Cang's dozen subordinates had already surrounded the remaining few black-clothed people, and a group of people were fighting together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of the fight woke up Zhang Bao and Gao Shangzhi, and the two hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out. Zhang Bao saw Shi Zun and Wen Cang fighting with a man in black, so he wanted to take a closer look, but one of the noble ones grabbed him and said, "Lord Zhang, you better not go over, it's dangerous!" Let's hide in the house! ”

Zhang Bao said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, the lower officials will not get too close." ”

Zhang Bao said, tiptoeing through the corridor and watching from afar.

"My lord, shall we take advantage of the chaos?" A man dressed as a Taoist priest appeared behind Gao Shang unconsciously and whispered.

Gao Shangzhi didn't reply, and replied in a low voice: "Don't move for the time being, there is a problem with this matter, you few are watching nearby, if any of those assassins escape, at least catch one for me and bring it back." ”

"Subordinates obey." With that, the man turned and disappeared into the night.

Gao Shangzhi also walked forward, and at this moment, Shi Zun's soldiers shouted: "Your Highness, get out of the way!" ”

When Gao Shangzhi and Zhang Bao heard the prestige, about ten archers were ready, and they took their bows and aimed at the man in black.

Shi Zun heard the voices of his subordinates, and hurriedly dodged to distance himself from the man in black, Wen Cang also hurriedly dodged, and at the same time, the arrows were fired at the man in black, the man in black waved his knife to block several arrows, his legs squatted slightly, and he wanted to jump up and dodge, but at this moment, a cold arrow hit the man's thigh impartially, and the man in black stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

"Stop!" Shi Zun raised his hand to the soldiers behind him, then held the sword in his hand, stepped forward, stood a few steps away from the man in black, pointed his sword at the man in black lying on the ground and asked loudly, "Who are you!" How dare you come to assassinate! Tell me honestly, I'll leave you a whole corpse! ”

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the man in black waved his knife and wanted to kill himself, Wen Cang saw this, threw out the short sword in his hand, and pierced it directly into the right arm of the man in black.

"Ahh The man in black was in pain, screamed miserably, let go of the knife in his hand, covered his right arm with his left hand, and completely gave up resistance.

"Come on, tie this man up!" Shi Zun shouted to the soldiers not far behind him.

Shi Zun's soldiers ran over with all hands and feet, and despite the injuries on the black-clothed man, they tied him up. Shi Zun handed the sword in his hand to his subordinates, stepped forward and pulled down the man's mask.

The mask was pulled down, and Wen Cang and the others saw clearly that the man in black was a Han man, about thirty years old.

At the same time, two of the black-clothed people who were fighting with Wen Cang's more than a dozen subordinates had been killed, and the remaining three, seeing that the situation was not right, each sprinkled a bag of quicklime on those guards, and everyone subconsciously retreated, covering their eyes and mouths, and the three black-clothed people took the opportunity to jump on the eaves, and after a few turns, they crossed the roof and disappeared.

"Chase!" One of the guards shouted.

A dozen people scattered into three squads to pursue the three people who had just escaped.

"Someone sent you!" Shi Zun asked sharply.

The man didn't say a word, and he didn't even look at Shi Zun.

Shi Zun turned around and snatched the sword he had just handed over to his subordinates, and raised his hand to stab it, Wen Cang saw this and hurriedly hugged Shi Zun and shouted, "Your Highness, no!" If we kill this person, maybe we won't be able to find out who is behind the scenes, and when His Majesty asks us, it will be difficult for me to explain! ”

Shi Zun was hugged by Wen Cang, secretly proud in his heart, pretending to struggle for a moment, and then threw away the sword in his hand.

Seeing that Shi Zun had dropped his sword, Wen Cang immediately let go of his hand, bowed and said, "Your Highness, your majesty is in a hurry to offend, please forgive your highness." ”

Shi Zun replied lukewarmly: "It's okay, just now this king was also a little impulsive, this person will be handed over to you to Dali Temple for interrogation, and the result will be notified to this king immediately." ”

"Yes......" Wen Cang was still half-bent over, arching his hand at Shi Zun.

Shi Zun glanced at the man in black, turned around and walked towards Liu Guifei.

At this time, Liu Guifei had already lost her face by the sinister flower just now, and sat on the ground trembling.

Shi Zun walked to Liu Guifei's side, and saw that Liu Guifei was dressed in a single robe, curled up with both hands, so he took the cloak handed by one of his subordinates, squatted down and wrapped Liu Guifei, and said: "Let Niangniang be frightened, please forgive Niangniang." ”

"Mother, are you alright?" Xiaoxiang finally appeared and ran over crying.

When Liu Guifei saw Xiaoxiang, she cried out with a "wow", hugged Xiaoxiang tightly, and refused to let go, after all, the man in black almost succeeded twice just now, which scared her a lot.

"Send the mother back to her room." Shi Zun instructed Xiao Xiang.

Xiaoxiang glanced at Shi Zun, nodded silently, and said while helping Liu Guifei up from the ground: "Niangniang, it's okay, let's go back to the house, it's cold outside." ”

Liu Guifei nodded in a panic, her cloak was very embarrassed, and she went back to the wing room with Xiaoxiang's support. Another soldier under Shi Zun brought a cloak to put on him, Shi Zun looked coldly at Zhang Bao who was standing not far away, and then said to the people around him: "Tell me to go down, immediately block the entire Taoist temple, and anyone who enters or leaves needs to get permission from this king." Search every room and every corner of the temple one by one, and be sure to arrest the escaped assassins. ”

"Yes!" Dozens of soldiers under Shi Zun responded in unison.

It is said that the three black-clothed men who escaped are also good at work, and the guards under Wen Cang can't catch up at all. The three assassins ran separately, and two of them ran out of the Qiansheng Temple one after the other, and dispersed.

The last man in black had just slipped out of the Qiansheng Temple and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, because he saw a man standing about fifty paces away on the way down the mountain.

The two looked at each other, and the murderous intent in their eyes flashed, and they naturally could see each other's intentions.

The black-clothed assassin strode over, intending to strike first, and when he got closer, he found that the man was wearing a Taoist robe, and he seemed to be a Taoist priest of the Qiansheng Temple.

Seeing the black-clothed assassin rushing towards him, the man took a step forward with his left foot, forming a slight lunge, and slowly raised his arms.

The assassin leapt to his feet and slashed at the robed man. I saw that the man was bare-handed, sideways to dodge the assassin's knife, the assassin saw that the blow missed, immediately turned the blade with his backhand, and slashed towards the man in the robe, after all, the man in the robe was bare-handed, and bent down again to dodge, the assassin's knife almost touched the face of the man in the robe, and it was a dead hand that could be seen.

Seeing that the other party was so ruthless, the man in the robe took advantage of the opportunity to bend down to dodge, and his right hand supported the ground with one hand, and kicked the assassin's right shoulder, and the assassin was immediately kicked to the ground, and the knife in his hand also fell to the ground. The assassin rolled over and jumped up from the ground, looked coldly at the man in the robe in front of him, and knew that he was not an opponent, so he raised his hand and threw out a flying knife, shot at the man in the robe, and then turned around and wanted to run. At that moment, the robed man leaped to his feet, dodged the flying knife, and threw out a wooden ball the size of an egg in his right hand, which hit the assassin in the back of the head, and the assassin snorted and fell to the ground and fainted.

At this time, the voice of Wen Cang's guards came not far away: "Chase!" Can't let them run! ”

The robed man hurriedly ran to the Assassin's side, picked the Assassin up, put him on his shoulder, and ran down the hill as fast as he could, soon disappearing into the night.

At the same time, the guards rushed out of the Taoist temple, and there was not a single figure to be seen.

"Look!" A guard suddenly pointed to the gate of the temple and shouted.

One of the guards walked over with a torch, and everyone looked at the door, where a throwing knife was nailed to the wooden door of the temple.

"It must have been left by the assassin just now." One of them said it.

At that moment, one of the guards picked up a knife not far away, walked up to the group, and showed it to everyone.

At this time, Wen Cang arrived and asked everyone, "What about the assassins?" Did you catch it? ”

"Returning to the Deputy Commander, Assassin...... We didn't catch it. One of the guards whispered.

Wen Cang looked furious, and scolded loudly: "Useless things! I usually tell you to practice martial arts well, and everyone thinks that they are invincible in the world! More than a dozen people can't chase three people! What use do you want! ”

The dozen or so guards were scolded by Wen Cang one by one and didn't dare to raise their heads, and they didn't dare to gasp, and suddenly Wen Cang pointed to a person and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Wen Cang looking at him, he reacted, and hurriedly handed Wen Cang the knife he picked up on the ground, and said, "Deputy commander, this is what his subordinates picked up on the ground, and it should be left by the assassin." ”

"And this!" The other person pulled out the flying knife nailed to the door and handed it to Wen Cang. "Where did you find the knife?" Wen Cang asked.

"Here!" The guard hurried to the spot where he had found the knife.

Wen Cang walked towards the guard, and the others were about to follow, Wen Cang turned around and drank: "Don't come here, stand far away, and hand me the torch!." ”

The guards looked at each other, not knowing what Wen Cang wanted to do, so they could only disperse with interest, and one of them obediently handed the torch to Wen Cang.

Wen Cang walked to the position where the guard was standing, then lowered his body, held the torch, looked at the ground carefully, and then walked back, stood up and looked at the location where the flying knife had just been found, and said with a slightly serious face: "There was a fight just now. ”

The guards looked at each other, obviously in disbelief, and one of them asked, "Deputy Commander, one of the people who fought was the assassin, and who was the other?" ”

Wen Cang raised his head and scolded: "How does Lao Tzu know! You need to know what else you are doing! ”

The guard was scolded by Wen Cang and didn't dare to speak again, and stood behind the others with his head down.

Wen Cang pushed everyone away with an angry face, walked into the Qiansheng Temple, just walked a few steps, turned around and saw that the group of guards were still standing there, and scolded again: "What are you still standing there for?" Are you waiting for the Assassins to come and find you? Come back with me! ”

The guards became Wen Cang's punching bag, and they didn't dare to say much in the end, so they obediently followed behind Wen Cang and came to the door of Liu Guifei's wing.
