The Great Solemn Temple located in Yongyangfang was built in the third year of Sui Renshou, which was established by Emperor Wen of Sui for Queen Dugu Xian, and was originally named "Zen Temple". In the first year of Tang De, because Emperor Wen of Sui had made his own law, called "Zongzhi", and called Queen Dugu "solemn", so the two temples were renamed "Dazong Temple" and "Da Zhuangzhuang Temple".

As a royal temple, the Great Solemn Temple is not only grand in scale, but also the temple is magnificent, when Xuanzang was not weak in the year, he had taken his second brother Master Jie to Beijing to study, and lived in the Solemn Temple.

Cheng Dazhi chose this place to settle gang disputes with the Snake Gang, because there is a sparsely populated woodland behind the Dazhuang Temple, which is suitable for group fighting.

When Li Hong, Yan Zhuang, Chen Gong and twenty guards arrived at the woodland behind the Great Solemn Temple, they saw a group of people standing under an old tree from a distance, and Cheng Dazhi, Yu Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan were looking around anxiously, as if they were waiting for him.

At this time, the four of them also saw Li Hong and his party, their expressions eased a lot, and they hurriedly stepped forward to give Li Hong a salute.

"There are a lot of people here, so don't be polite!" Li Hong said lightly. Cheng Dazhi and the four of them understood it, so they didn't salute again, but followed Li Hong and walked into the woodland.

The children of the Axe Gang under the old tree saw that their gang leader and the three Lang Jun were so respectful to a young man, and then noticed the faint murderous aura emanating from Chen Gong and the twenty guards beside Li Hong, they knew that this young man was not easy to mess with, so they were very interested in saluting Li Hong.

Li Hong nodded to everyone, and asked Cheng Dazhi as he walked, "How are you deployed?" ”

Cheng Dazhi heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asking himself, so he quickly stepped forward to keep up with Li Hong's steps, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this time the Axe Gang dispatched two hundred people, of which forty are the generals of our four-person mansion, and their combat effectiveness is not low, plus the twenty personal guards sent by His Royal Highness, it is enough to deal with the Snake Gang." ”

Li Hong didn't expect that Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan not only came to participate in this operation in person, but also brought ten generals with each of them, ten generals seemed to be not much, but it was already the limit for them who were not valued in the mansion. Based on this, Li Hong also saw the attitude of the four people towards him, so he stopped, looked back at Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan, and said to them with a smile, "This time this matter depends on you!" ”

"Your Highness just wait to see the show!" Xue Yan patted his chest and promised, "With our four brothers, we can't run away in Wuer." ”

Wei Chi Xun saw that Xue Yan was a little presumptuous in speaking, so he glared at him fiercely, and then bowed down and said, "Today's appointment with Wu Er, it is already good that he can gather three hundred good players in a hurry, and although there are only two hundred people on our side, all of them are experienced in a hundred battles, plus our four brothers personally went out, it is not a problem to capture Wu Er alive, please rest assured." ”

"Hmm!" Li Hong nodded slightly, very satisfied with Wei Chi Xunyan's analysis, and couldn't help but glance at Wei Chi Xunyan, who was born in a family of generals, who was good at strategy.

Li Hong and his party stopped when they walked to a high slope in the woodland, which was so condescending that they could see clearly no matter what was happening below. At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and Li Hong raised his eyes and saw a group of people walking towards the woodland with a murderous attitude, and the rough estimate of the number of people was about three hundred.

"Your Highness, they're here!" Seeing this group of people, Cheng Dazhi opened his mouth and said, "The leader is Wu Er." ”

Li Hong looked at Wu Er's group of people, and said lightly, "Lone knows, you go down!" ”

Cheng Dazhi, Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan bowed down to receive the order, and strode towards the woodland.

Takeji led the Snake Gang to the woodland, and when he was still sixty steps away from the Axe Gang, he stopped, and did not continue to walk.

He raised his eyes to look at Cheng Dazhi, and when he suddenly saw Cheng Dazhi's three people, including Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan, his face showed a look of surprise, obviously he didn't expect that it was just a very ordinary battle for turf, this time Cheng Dazhi would actually ask Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan to come forward.

In the past, they had fought several times between the Snake Gang and the Axe Gang for turf, and once again, they even fought the Axe Gang to the point of life and death, but they still didn't see Yu Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan come out to help the process, but this time it was just an ordinary battle, and Yu Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan all appeared here?

Wu Er was surprised and couldn't help but be a little worried, could it be that there was some conspiracy in this?

Thinking of this, Wu Er had more eyes, and shouted in a fierce voice, "Cheng Liulang, what did you want to bring such a person here for?" ”

For Li Hong, Cheng Dazhi was very cautious, because Li Hong was the prince. But for Wu Er, Cheng Dazhi was very arrogant, he was asked by Wu Er, so he scolded with contempt, "Wu Er, Lao Tzu came today to prepare to abolish your grandson, otherwise do you think Lao Tzu brought so many people here to play with you?" ”

Wu Er ignored Cheng Dazhi and turned his gaze to Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan and asked, "Could it be that the three Lang Jun also want to participate in this fight?" ”

He has a lot of backing forces behind him, so he is not afraid of the declining Eguo Mansion and the Yiguo Mansion, and he has no fear of the Xue Mansion that is not reused.

It's just that he has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and he knows that although Yu Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan are meritorious disciples, their martial arts are very strong, and if these three people participate in the war today, his snake gang will definitely be defeated.

Qin Zhan and Xue Yan in front of the formation did not speak, only Wei Chi Xunyan nodded slightly.

"Hahaha-" Wu Er laughed wildly, "The three Lang Jun are so interested!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he subconsciously glanced at the small hillside behind Cheng Dazhi, the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he roared, "Brothers—"

"Kill-" As soon as the Snake Gang disciples heard Wu Er's order, they rushed up and rushed towards Cheng Dazhi and the Axe Gang.

Cheng Dazhi saw that Wu Er unexpectedly gave the order to attack, which was contrary to his style of making appointments in the past, and suddenly felt bad, and just about to remind Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan, he saw that the snake gang had already rushed towards him, and Wu Er's body retreated a few steps, and suddenly he had escaped dozens of steps away.

Takeji is going to run away at this time?

Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan were also taken aback when they saw this, and their bodies burst out and chased after Wu Er in a big stride.

"What dare you dare? Up-" Cheng Dazhi roared angrily, how could he never have thought that Wu Er, who had been at the forefront of every battle in the past, would choose to run away this time? The body shot out, and chased after Wu Er.

Yan Zhuang, who was watching the battle on the high slope, exclaimed when he saw Wu Er's fleeing back, "Your Highness, I didn't expect this Wu Er to be so shrewd and realize that this is a trap we have set for him!" ”

"No matter how shrewd he is, he still doesn't have to die?" Li Hong snorted coldly.

Just as Wu Er was retreating, he glanced up the hillside, and Li Hong could clearly feel the murderous intent in Wu Er's eyes. With this killing opportunity, Li Hong can vaguely judge that Wu Er is not just an ordinary gangster, but may be a killer in battle.

"Your Highness, Wu Er is murderous, obviously not an ordinary street gangster, do you want to let the lowly help them?" Chen Gong suddenly opened his mouth and asked. Since Li Hongdu felt this murderous aura, as a veteran of the battlefield, Chen Gong naturally sensed the murderous intent in Wu Er's eyes.

"No need!" Li Hong said in a flat tone, "It's just a little gangster, the four of them can't take it down, so what's the use of asking them alone?" ”

Chen Gong saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not allow him to make a move, so he closed his mouth in amusement.

At this time, the two groups of children at the foot of the hill had already fallen into a scuffle.

Just like Cheng Dazhi said, the Axe Gang has forty of their four generals, plus twenty of Li Hong's personal guards, the Axe Gang should have the upper hand, but because the Snake Gang has the advantage in numbers, no one in the two gangs of people who fell into the melee at this time took advantage.

The fight between the gangsters was not like a battlefield fight, there were no weapons, only fists, but it was not very bloody, except for the sound of howling, there was no earth-shattering scream.

Li Hong stared at the scuffle in front of him and was not interested at all.

After nearly half a cup of tea, the fight under the hillside finally came to an end.

Because the forty generals and Li Hong's twenty personal guards were much stronger than the gangsters in front of them in terms of physical strength and combat effectiveness, so after a long time, their advantages were brought into play, and the Axe Gang also gained the upper hand, constantly encroaching on the children of the Snake Gang, and finally knocked over more than 300 children of the Snake Gang to the ground and could no longer stand up.

Not long after the fight under the hillside ended, the four of Yu Chi Xunyan, Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan appeared at the bottom of the hillside out of breath, and at the same time, there was an additional Wu Er with his hands and feet tied by them.

The four of them escorted Wu Er to the hillside, Xue Yan kicked Wu Er on the thigh fiercely, kicking him to his knees in front of Li Hong, and Wei Chi Xunyan said, "Your Highness, we are fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Hong nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze to Wu Er.

At this time, Wu Er also looked up at Li Hong, he seemed to have guessed Li Hong's identity a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Seeing that Wu Er was so calm and calm, Li Hong was also slightly surprised, so he asked, "Wu Er, do you know why Gu wanted to arrest you?" ”

"Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally come forward to arrest Wu Er, and Wu Er will die without regrets!" Wu Er smiled, "As for why did you arrest Wu Er, Your Highness, and what news do you want to get from Wu Er's mouth, I'm afraid Wu Er will disappoint His Highness!" ”

"He's going to kill himself-" Just as Wu Er's words fell, Chen Gong, who was beside Li Hong, shouted loudly, and saw him step forward and slam his fist on Wu Er's mouth, smashing Wu Er to the ground. But Takeuji, who fell to the ground, was motionless like a piece of wood! Seeing this, Chen Gong hurriedly lowered his body to check on Wu Er's situation, and saw that black blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, obviously poisoned to death.

Chen Gong carefully inspected Wu Er's corpse, and then got up and bowed back to Li Hong, "Your Highness, Wu Er had a poison pill in his mouth when he spoke just now, and he bit the poison pill in his mouth after he finished speaking, and he died of poisoning. ”

Li Hong's face was a little gloomy, he never thought that it would take so much effort to catch Wu Er, but he just watched him commit suicide! As soon as Wu Er dies like this, won't the clues about the taxes in the city that he want to investigate be broken?

"It was a lowly negligence just now, and I ask Your Highness to punish it!" Chen Gong saw that the prince's face was gloomy and terrifying, so he was the first to ask for sin. He felt that if he had checked whether there was poison in Wu Er's mouth when he was escorted up the hill just now, it was estimated that Wu Er would not have committed suicide.

"It's our disadvantage, and I ask Your Highness to punish us!" Seeing that Wu Er committed suicide like this, the four of Yu Chi Xunyan were also like ashes, because Wu Er was captured by them, if they could check whether Wu Er had poison in his mouth when he was arrested, it is estimated that Wu Er would not have committed suicide like this.

As Li Hong's personal guard general, Chen Gong is indeed guilty of negligence, and if you really want to talk about negligence, Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi are the people who bear the most responsibility. It's just that the people are dead, so what's the point of pursuing a few more people? Therefore, Li Hong didn't bother to punish anyone anymore, so he said lightly, "Okay, any of you are responsible for this matter, this time I won't be held accountable, pay attention in the future!" ”

"I'll leave it to you here, Yan Zhuang, let's go back to the palace!" After Li Hong finished speaking, he was about to stride downhill, but at this moment, there was a shout not far away, and then he saw a team of officials appear at the bottom of the hillside, and in an instant surrounded the two groups of children in the woodland under the hillside. At the same time, I saw an official in his forties, leading more than a dozen officials, walking towards the hillside where Li Hong was!
