The number of guards at the East Gate has increased from four to ten. Rao is so, the guards are still busy.

Because there are so many people coming into the city today.

Hearing the news of the duel between Liu Tingge and Feng Zhiyao, anyone with a little ability and status didn't care about the distance of the road, and gathered from all directions. The guards were overwhelmed, so they had to relax the checks and only focus on the people who entered the city.

In other words: it's easy to get out of the city, but it's hard to get in.

Under the city wall, dozens of people gathered together, some chatting with each other, some dozing off against the city wall, and some squatting on the side of the road and whistling at the little ladies passing by.

It is worth mentioning that these dozens of people are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and they don't look upright, but the occasional flash of sharpness in their eyes proves that they are not a group of rabble. It's just that in the crowd, no one will notice that there is such a group of people in the corner.

In the middle of this group of men, a young man with a pale face sat on a stone pier, occasionally clutching his chest and coughing a few times, looking not very good. But his eyes were staring at the gate carefully, for fear of missing something.

Next to him, a dark-skinned little man said: "I'll just say, let you recuperate in the inn, and leave the matter of Lord Tang to me, but you just don't listen." ”

On the other side, a man as majestic as an iron tower said angrily: "That's it!" What can you do if you are seriously injured? Even if you don't worry about Ma Shang's rate, isn't there still me Li Dazhuang? ”

The young man with a pale face was naturally Ji Chen.

"It's because of you two fools that I'm not at ease!" Ji Chen glanced at the two of them and continued: "Big brother has disappeared for so long, and he must have his plan to choose to appear at this time. If he believes me, I can't let him worry. Identity: A member of the Avengers, let alone being injured, even if he loses this life, what is it? ”

Ma Shang said disdainfully in his heart like a mirror: "Don't pick up good things, do you think I don't know what you think?" Last time, you pretended to be dead and deceived Lord Tang, afraid that he would come back to punish you, so you wanted to atone for your sins, yes or no? ”

Ji Chen was shocked: Damn, when did this little black man become so smart?

Of course, this kind of thing that weakens his own prestige, Ji Chen can't do it, and said proudly: "Fart!" As a member of the bearded people in the Western Regions, Lao Tzu is still afraid of being punished? I just can't bear to admire my eldest brother, and I'm just worried that his old man will be in danger. ”

Li Dazhuang looked strange, patted Ji Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, take care of me...... The eldest brother likes Mei'er and the girl likes fairies, and he is a normal man. Alas, my brother doesn't know how to persuade you, so let's die. ”

"What do you mean by that? Lao Tzu also likes women, okay! Ji Chen's eyes widened, did this bastard think that Lao Tzu had a problem with his sexual orientation? Does he have eyes on his ass?

Li Dazhuang smiled and said nothing, with a knowing expression, as if to say: You don't need to explain, you have been seen through by me, don't die to save face - I understand!

I understand your sister!

Ji Chen felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he wanted to say something more, when he suddenly saw a pair of centaurs coming from west to east in the distance.

Dressed in uniform black robes and hideous grimace masks, they ran murderously through the crowd, turning their backs wherever they passed.

With such a costume and such a cold temperament, the soldiers of the "Avengers" who have been in contact with them are all too familiar.

Ma Shang said with a vigilant face: "Those are not ......"

"It's the man who assassinated us twice!" Ji Chen said with a gloomy face.

Li Dazhuang touched the back of his head, pointed in the direction they were far away and asked, "What are they going to do when they are in such a hurry to leave the city early in the morning?" ”

Ji Chen thought about it for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Oh no! The eldest brother asked us to answer at the east gate, could it be that these grimaces found traces? ”

Li Dazhuang slapped his thigh and said, "Then what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and chase it! ”

"Wait!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, and suddenly felt his heart numb. "If they go out of the city for something else, and when the eldest brother comes here and can't see our shadow, won't it be a big deal for him?"

Chen Buping is not there, and Ji Chen is vaguely the backbone of the "Avengers". When he really fell into this position, he knew how difficult it was for Tang An to pull these people who were caught in the palm of death out of the ghost gate.

Seeing that he had paid attention, Li Dazhuang and the others were not good at what they were saying, but everyone put away their cynical attitude and stared at the city gate with nervous faces.

They only hope that Tang An will appear soon and prove that their guess is not true.

Half a pillar of incense time passed, and in the bustling crowd, there was still no Tang An's figure, and the ghost servants who were also dressed in black came from afar in waves, and quickly disappeared at the door, still heading towards the east.

As the temporary commander, Ji Chen felt the pressure of the sea. It's okay if Tang An isn't there, but if these people really go for him, then wouldn't he become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty through the ages?

After hesitating again and again, Ji Chen finally made up his mind, pointed at the two of them and said, "Wang Chong and Duan Wenjing, you two stay here and answer Lord Tang!" Everyone else, come out of town with me! ”

**********************************************

When he realized that he had been discovered by the person with a "grimace", Tang An knew that the road might not be easy.

But even so, can he stop?

Giving up this hard-won opportunity meant that he would have to spend countless efforts to avoid Xie Yuan's eyes and ears and meet the King of Qi before all the ministers had adequate countermeasures.

I don't know how long this process will take, and every day it drags on, there will be countless Tang Erlang who will pay for their precious lives in the barren land of the Western Regions.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of the Tang Dynasty soldiers fighting with the lions of the Xia Kingdom. Having fought in the Western Regions, Tang An knew how cruel it was.

In the occupied city, the people of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for them to be rescued; In the slaughtering tent, the young soldiers were thinking about their relatives who were far away. But under the butcher's knife of the enemy, how many people will spill blood on the battlefield and never wake up again? How many gray-haired parents are looking at the West in their hometown, waiting for the good news that their children are safe and sound?

Tang An didn't dare to think about it anymore, let alone wait any longer.

Countless fresh lives are urging him, and he can only move forward! Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he has to break through!

Now, the brothers of the "Avengers" are picking him up at the East City Gate. And Tai Qingguan's assassination must have caused Xie Yuan a lot of trouble. He never believed that Xie Yuan would dare to make another dangerous move and kill people again in the hinterland of the overcrowded city.

He believed that as long as he could reach the East City Gate, half of his plan would be realized!

But what made him depressed was that when he and Feng Zhiyao visited the school palace at night a few days ago, the two of them rode on horseback, but they didn't feel how far the road was. At this time, it is as if there is no end to this section of the road.

Passing by a land of growing grass, the two came to a dense bamboo forest. Tang An has the impression of this road, as long as he passes through here and takes a cup of tea, he can reach Linzi City.

But the oncoming black figure made Tang An's heart sink to the bottom.
