Chapter 340: The Pursuers Arrived
He slowly opened his eyes, first saw Sun Simiao, and then saw Cheng Zhijie's big blue head. "Ahh Yuan Mujue didn't know whether it was painful or frightened, so he hurriedly pulled to both sides and went to find his own Yanling Thirteen Songs Big Boring; As a result, the big boring was not found, and the daughter on her back disappeared again.
"Daughter? Also my daughter? Then he saw the corpse of the maiden lying flat not far away, and threw himself into his arms, wailing like a wounded wolf.
"Give me back my blade!" Yuan Mujue suddenly shouted angrily.
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Yuan Mujue, you are not my opponent even when you are good, why do you still want to do it with me now?" ”
Yuan Mujue was stunned for a long time, then sighed and said, "I didn't expect my surname Yuan to fall into your hands again." Retribution! Retribution! Come, though they take my life. Ah Ci, Su Lan! Go slowly, and I'll go with you. ”
Sun Simiao said: "This strong man does not have to ask for death; The Demon King Chitose has commanded and brought in all your horses and blades; The traces were also covered; No one knows you're here, so you're here to recuperate! ”
Yuan Mujue was stunned and looked at Cheng Zhijie in disbelief; Lao Cheng smiled and said, "What? Do you think I, Lao Cheng, am a person who takes advantage of people's dangers? ”
Yuan Mujue sighed and said: "Forget it, the cause of the past will get the fruit of today; It's all self-inflicted, but I will definitely not let go of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. ”
Cheng Zhijie asked curiously: "Yuan Mujue, you are also the commander of the Janissaries of the Tang Dynasty, an important minister under the Son of Heaven, and the favorite general of the crown prince Li Jiancheng; How did it end up like this? ”
A cold light shot out of Yuan Mujue's eyes and said: "What a heavy minister, the father and son of the Li family are villains. That Li Yuanji is even more of a brute! He coveted the beauty of my daughter Sulan; actually took advantage of my duty in the court to lure him out of order in Wanhualou. My daughter was so humiliated that she jumped from the Wanhua Tower and died. When my wife heard the news, she couldn't stand the blow and swallowed the gold and died.
After I went down to court, Wen Xin took his daughter's body to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to avenge his grievances; Who knows that Li Jiancheng not only does not blame Li Yuanji; Instead, he persuaded me to settle things down.
I had no choice but to go to Li Yuanji to take revenge, and I knew that Li Yuanji slandered my daughter for greedy Ronghua to seduce him. Let the guards do it on the spot and try to kill me. Fortunately, I had just come down from the court, wearing armor and carrying a sword; Only then did he break out of the encirclement and run out of Chang'an. ”
Cheng Zhijie and the others looked at each other, this King of Qi was too capable of tossing; No matter what Yuan Mujue said, he would never be separated from his birth and death; He's really good at it.
Cheng Zhijie didn't know how to persuade him, and asked, "Yuan Mujue, what are you going to do next?" Where do you want to go? ”
Yuan Mujue gritted his teeth and said: "I have an old relationship with the left wheel of the Western Turkic general; I'm going to go to him, and one day I'll come back with my army to take revenge. ”
Cheng Zhijie secretly frowned and said: "Yuan Mujue, you and Li Yuanji are personally angry, why do you want to lead foreign soldiers and harm the people of my Central Plains?" ”
Yuan Mujue sneered: "What foreign country, Central Plains? In Yuan's eyes, there is no difference; If anyone helps me kill Li Yuanji, I don't care if he is a foreigner or not. ”
Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly and said: "Yuan Mujue, I can understand that you want to kill Li Yuanji, but if you want to lead the Western Turkic army to bring disaster to the Central Plains, I won't agree." When the time comes, I will definitely raise a large army and kill you without a single piece of armor left. ”
Yuan Mujue smiled and said, "Okay! Being able to fight to the death with Cheng Zhijie, the demon king of the mixed world, on the battlefield is also a great joy in life. ”
Cheng Zhijie didn't pay attention to him anymore, and asked Sun Simiao to continue to treat Yuan Mujue, and he withdrew with Xie Yingdeng and others.
The next day, a detachment of men and horses came from Huayuan County, saying that they wanted to arrest the invasion of the imperial court; They set up pipe cards at the city gate, and asked people to draw pictures and graphs, and reported the arrest of Yuan Mujue.
The county shou Fu also received an order to cooperate with Xie Shufang, the personal general of the Qi Palace, to arrest the imperial court and invade Yuan Mujue.
Fu Yi didn't say a word after hearing this, so he ordered someone to strengthen the inspection. The general, Pei Longqian, thought that the four doors should be closed and the search for prisoners should be carried out door to door.
Fu also thought that this would disturb the people and firmly disagreed; only agreed to let his subordinates take the portraits to the streets and alleys, post the portraits, and offer a reward for arrest; And mobilize everyone to report suspicious people.
Xie Shufang finally agreed to Fu Yi's method, ordered his subordinates to block the city gate, and then went to the streets and alleys to search for the portrait.
They searched for nearly a day but did not find Yuan Mujue; Pei Longqian repeated the old words again; Go door-to-door searching. Fu Yi resolutely disagreed, and the two almost quarreled.
At this time, someone led a person into the county guard's mansion, and this person was Xiao Hua's nephew and apprentice Xiao Shen.
The soldiers ushered Xiao Shen in and saw the three adults: "Lord Qiqi, this person said that he saw a suspicious person last night and secretly entered the Endless Hall. ”
Fu Yi frowned slightly, Xiao Hua had a life-saving grace for his son; Could he be related to the Chin Prisoner? Fu Yi's face sank, slapped the table and said, "Xiao Shen, this official heard that you are Xiao Hua's nephew of the Immortal Hall, and you are also a member of the Immortal Hall. You can see clearly, if Xitang is not related to the Qin criminal, you will not be able to escape the involvement. ”
Xiao Shenyi gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest master doesn't know, although the villain is Xiao Hua's nephew; But he always disliked me, and just used me as a coolie; On weekdays, he also beats and scolds. Yesterday he kicked me out of the Endless Hall for no reason, and I have no relationship with him for a long time. ”
Pei Long smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, don't be afraid!" As long as you're right, I guarantee your safety; and introduce you to His Royal Highness the King of Qi; A lifetime of glory and wealth is inexhaustible. ”
Xiao Shen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly recounted how he found a black shadow on a horse who had turned over into the Restless Hall after he was kicked out of the Restless Hall that night; And carefully describe the figure and physiognomy of this person, and also carry a woman on his back.
Then he repeatedly emphasized that it didn't take long for the black shadow to enter the Hall of Immortality; And a few men came out of the hall of the restlessness, and took the man's blades and horses into it; And all traces were cleaned, apparently deliberately shielding the prisoner.
However, Xiao Shen was afraid of moving out of the reason why he was expelled, and did not tell how he met Cheng Zhijie and others. So that Xie Shufang and Pei Longqian didn't expect that there were Cheng Zhijie and a few of their big insects inside.
Pei Longqian laughed and said, "Okay! Xiao Shen, if you have meritorious service in reporting, we will definitely go to the King of Qi to protect you. You lead the way in front of you and take us to the Immortal Hall to arrest the prisoners. ”
"Yes! Thank you, General! Xiao Shen agreed, and Xie Shufang and Du Yi also reorganized their troops and followed him all the way to the Endless Hall.
The Restless Hall is located next to the East Gate; This time, they brought 3,000 troops and besieged the Endless Hall, and even the east gate was blocked; There were a lot of people outside who stopped to watch.
As soon as Cheng Zhijie heard that there were people outside who surrounded the endless hall, he knew that it was not good, and he hurriedly asked the servants to be dismissed. Then he didn't care about packing up the gold and silver, so he brought Sun Simiao and Xie Yingdeng with Xiao Hua; Then Ma Saifei, Qi Guoyuan and others took Xiao Hua's family and secretly came to the back door.
With a "boom", the front door was broken, and the Tang army shouted and rushed in; Cheng Zhijie waved his hand, and several people opened the back door and rushed out.
"Who?" The soldiers surrounding outside noticed that someone had rushed out and surrounded them with a loud shout. Cheng Zhijie didn't say a word, and rushed out with knives and guns.
The screams were repeated, and the flesh and blood were flying, which frightened Sun Simiao, Xiao Hua and others on horseback and exclaimed.
Of course, these soldiers can't stop Cheng Zhijie and a few people; They soon rushed to the gates of the city. This place was already crowded with people, and Lao Cheng and the others rushed out regardless of killing a bloody road.
As soon as Xie Shufang and Pei Longqian rushed into the courtyard, they heard a great chaos outside, and hurriedly led the army to rush out again; As a result, it was found that Cheng Zhijie and several people had already fought their way out and escaped.
"Chase! Don't let the enemy run away! Pei Longqian shouted, and led the army to chase after him. When Xie Shufang saw it, he also hurriedly followed. Du Yi looked at the dead bodies and blood all over the ground, sighed and hurriedly counted the casualties, and asked the doctors of the whole city to come and treat the injured.
Cheng Zhijie led people all the way to Wutai Mountain, and Pei Longqian followed closely and chased after him. Because the road is narrow, the riding skills of each person are uneven; Slowly, he led his cavalry out of a long line.
Seeing that he had reached the depths of Wutai Mountain, Cheng Zhijie suddenly grabbed the war horse, then put Sun Simiao and the others down, and turned around to aim at the enemy who was chasing after him.
Pei Longqian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Cheng Zhijie and the others pulling the horse to stop, and he also stopped and said, "Yuan Mujue, why don't you guys run away; Don't you want to get off the horse and surrender? ”
Cheng Zhijie laughed: "Does Pei Longqian know Cheng Zhijie?" ”
Pei Longqian was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, why did this demon king run to Huayuan County? What is the connection between him and Yuan Mujue?
Yuan Mujue saw that their eyes were red, he didn't care about his injuries, he rushed up as soon as he urged the war horse, and smashed it in front of Pei Longqian.
Pei Longqian knows that his ability is too far behind Yuan Mujue; He didn't dare to fight back, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to come forward and besiege Yuan Mujue.
But he forgot that he was now on the mountain road, and there were only three or four soldiers around, and the ones behind him were blocked and couldn't reach at all.
"Kill!" Pei Longqian didn't see it well, so he hurriedly picked up the golden gourd hammer in his hand and went to meet Yuan Mujue's blade. With the sound of "dang", Pei Longqian was smashed and almost vomited blood.
Yuan Mujue smashed this blow, and he felt pain all over his body when he touched the wound, and it was estimated that the wound burst again. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Give me death!" "The big boring round swept over again.
Pei Longqian was swept off his horse by him, vomiting blood; The pro-soldiers just wanted to rush up; Cheng Zhijie and the others shouted, urging the horses to pick up the blades and rush forward.
