Chapter 151: Escape from Chang'an
In the middle of the night, the waning moon in the sky and the stars in the sky all dodged, as if they couldn't bear to see the extremely cruel scene of the imperial capital Chang'an. At night, it was dark and quiet, as if it was a pool of undisturbed and inky black water, and all the creatures in the lake seemed to have fallen asleep, and they didn't even dare to breathe for fear of attracting Zhang Liang, a vicious dog, and causing the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan.
Suddenly, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded in the dark silence of the night, as if a huge stone had fallen into the lake, making a loud noise and sending ripples.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the sound of horses' hooves, and they all speculated about what was going on.
Zhang Liang and his party, who had just shot Pei Lin and slaughtered the left servant, were also alarmed. Zhang Liang showed a hideous smile and said, "Finally, someone can't stand it and wants to run away?" ”
Zhang Jinshu also shouted: "Want to run? How can it be that easy? Chang'an, the imperial capital, now we have the final say, without our consent, who can run away? ”
Zhang Liang said to Zhang Jinshu: "Then Brother Jinshu, let's chase?" ”
Zhang Jinshu was flattered and said, "Lord Zhang is polite. You are the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the fourth grade of my Tang Dynasty, and you are just the captain of the sixth grade. How can you afford to be worthy of your brother? Tonight, the lowly is willing to do everything, only Lord Zhang is the first to look forward. ”
Zhang Liang showed a hint of a smile, but with his blood-stained face, it looked extremely terrifying.
Zhang Liang raised the waist knife in his hand high, and said loudly to the people behind him: "Chase, without our consent, no one will fucking want to leave this imperial capital Chang'an City." ”
Zhang Jinshu and others responded: "Yes, tonight, the imperial capital Chang'an is ours, we can kill whoever we want." Without our Zhang Liang Zhang's consent, no one would fucking want to leave this Chang'an City. ”
After that, under the leadership of Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang and his party all rode the horses they had just seized from the Prince's East Palace, the Mansion of the King of Qi, and the Mansion of the Left Servant Pei Lian, and chased them in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came.
At the sound of horses' hooves, Li Qing did not take a carriage, but rode a horse, under the protection of the guards of the Xiangyang Princess's Mansion, galloping towards Zhongnan Mountain.
Yongning Gate, the west gate of the imperial capital Chang'an. Due to the curfew, the surroundings of Yongning Gate are all pitch black, and only the tower on the city gate flickers with the light of a few torches from time to time. A small group of guards was on guard from the tower.
Li Qing and his entourage arrived at the Yongning Gate, and a guard from Princess Xiangyang's Mansion shouted loudly to the guards at the head of the city: "Open the city gate quickly, we are the guards of Princess Xiangyang's Mansion, and we are on the orders of Princess Xiangyang to escort the Ninth Princess to Zhongnan Mountain." ”
Hearing that it was the ninth princess who was going out of the city, thinking of the relationship between the ninth princess and Li Xuan, Li Xuan was the first strategist beside the crown prince, and the soldiers guarding the Yongning Gate did not dare to slack off, and quickly opened the Yongning Gate and let Li Qing and his party pass.
Soon, Zhang Liang and his entourage also appeared in front of Yongning Gate.
The guards guarding the Yongning Gate shouted and asked, "Who is under the city?" ”
Zhang Liang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Who was the one who left the city just now?" How can you let them out of the city? ”
The guards did not answer, but continued to ask, "Who is under the city?" Get your name now! ”
Zhang Liang suddenly jumped like thunder, and asked loudly: "This official Zhang Liang, this official asked you, who was out of the city just now?" Why let them out of town? ”
"Zhang Liang?" The guards were taken aback, and secretly said in their hearts: "How could it be Zhang Liang, the killing god?" He even dared to kill the prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji? How did they get here? ”
After some hesitation, the captain guarding the Yongning Gate walked out, bowed to Zhang Liang with a smile and said, "I don't know that Lord Zhang Liang Zhang is coming, I have missed the distance, and I am guilty of sin." It was the guards of Princess Xiangyang's Mansion who passed just now, and they were ordered by Princess Xiangyang to escort the Ninth Princess to Zhongnan Mountain. ”
Zhang Liang said with a deep face: "The guards of Princess Xiangyang's Mansion? Nine princesses Li Qing? ”
Zhang Liang's eyes lit up suddenly. Li Qing? Li Xuan's lover? Zhang Liang felt that the opportunity for revenge had come, if it weren't for Li Xuan, he was still in Shangyong as a county guard, or because of that damn Li Xuan, he lost his official position, and his years of hard work were in vain, and he came to the imperial capital Chang'an with nothing. Zhang Liang felt that if he could kill Li Qing, Li Xuan would definitely be very painful. Thinking of Li Xuan's painful appearance, Zhang Liang felt a burst of pride in his heart.
Zhang Liang said to the captain guarding the Yongning Gate: "Open the city gate quickly, this official will go out of the city to chase the murderer." ”
The lieutenant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the Yongning Gate and let Zhang Liang and his party pass.
Out of Yongning Gate, Zhang Jinshu was embarrassed. Li Xuan and Zhang Liang's personal grudges, he is clear. The imperial capital of Chang'an is such a big place, as a middle-level general of the Zuo Xiaowei army stationed in the imperial capital of Chang'an, he is very clear about the dynamics and grievances of the high-level, otherwise he will offend people, and he will not know the relationship behind that person, then it will be troublesome. Don't look at yourself as a middle-level general, usually there are five or six people in front of the sergeant, but if you inadvertently upset those adults, they want to put themselves in place, it is as easy as stepping on a bed bug. Looking at Zhang Liang's meaning, I want to kill the ninth princess tonight, but who is the ninth princess? That is the lover of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, has many means, and he is the henchman of His Royal Highness the crown prince, helping Zhang Liang get rid of Li Qing, which made Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, angry, not to mention himself, even his own boss, General Zuo Xiaowei, Qin Qiong, can't protect himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinshu couldn't help but fight a cold war and felt deep fear.
Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jinshu's embarrassment, and also guessed Zhang Jinshu's concerns, and said, "Brother Jinshu is scared? Brother Jinshu, don't worry, although I, Zhang Liang, am five big and three thick, and some thick branches and leaves, but I Zhang Liang still know what to do? I have a personal grudge with Li Xuan, and now that the opportunity is in front of me, I am really unwilling not to kill Li Qing, but I am also clear about right and wrong, and I will not embarrass the Jinshu brothers, in order to avenge my personal grudges, the Jinshu brothers are involved, which is too bad. Li Qing, I'll kill, the guards of Princess Xiangyang's Mansion will ask Brother Jinshu, in the future, if Li Xuan retaliates, I, Zhang Liang, will also bear it, and I will never involve Brother Jinshu. Brother Kaneki, what do you think? ”
Zhang Jinshu hesitated. After a long time, he looked at Zhang Liang and said uneasily: "Ninth Princess, Zhang Liang and Lord Zhang are here to kill." Afterwards, Zhang Liang and Lord Zhang bear it alone? ”
Zhang Liang patted Zhang Jinshu on the shoulder and said, "This is natural." When I speak brightly, I still do what I say, one spit and one nail. ”
Zhang Jinshu seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Okay, since Zhang Liang said so, then I will accompany Master Zhang on a trip." ”
After that, Zhang Jinshu and the others, under the leadership of Zhang Liang, chased after Li Qing.
