On the way to Zhuyi, one hundred and eighty light horsemen rushed to the direction of Zhuyi, and the front were Xiao Zilun, Yuan Geyu, He Yin and Xiao Zhaoxiu.

There are fifty people in this light cavalry dressed in hunting clothes, and Xiao Zilun is also dressed as a hunter, but the arrows in the quiver are less than usual.

Cao Jingzhao and Qi Zhen also accompanied He Yin.

After Cao Jingzhao rushed back to the capital, he told He Yin about the situation in Jixian and Zhuyi, and He Yin heard that Xiao Lian and He Jingying were trapped in Zhuyi, and they entered the palace three times in a row to face the saint, but they failed to see the emperor.

For the first time, Zhu Shou politely said that the emperor was taking a nap and invited He Yin back.

The second time, Zhu Shou said that the emperor went to Zhaoyang Hall and should not be disturbed.

The third time, He Yin entered the palace at night, and after waiting in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace for an hour, the ghost-faced Langjun walked out of the inner hall.

The emperor didn't see him, He Yin naturally knew the holy will, and whether this matter was successful or not, he could only investigate secretly. On the surface, He Jingying and Xiao Lian are still under house arrest in the Nanjun Palace.

The emperor didn't save him, but He Yin couldn't ignore it.

The one hundred and eighty light horsemen behind He Yin, and the fifty people in hunting clothes were Xiao Zilun's government soldiers, who set off from the capital and made a detour to Jixian County on the grounds of hunting in the suburbs of Beijing.

Thirty people were He Yin's protégés, and they were taken from Xiaoshan Dongyuan by Osu to join He Yin in Pei County.

Fifty people are the soldiers He Yin took Xiao Zhaowen's token and went to Yuzhou to transfer. Without a holy decree, He Yin could only call Xiao Zhaowen's fifty light soldiers.

The other fifty people are the fifty elites transferred from Jingzhou by Xiao Zhaoxiu.

It is this 180 people who were forcibly put together, which is the entire combat strength.

It was also extremely risky. The crime of privately transferring soldiers can be big or small, depending on how the official plays and how the emperor sentences. But He Yin doesn't care, Xiao Zilun, Xiao Zhaowen, and Xiao Zhaoxiu don't care. If your siblings are trapped and you can't save them, then you don't want this official position!

Before they arrived at Zhuyi, everyone had already seen the fire in Zhuyi. Two fireworks exploded in the air, pointing to the southeast, and Cao Jingzhao and Qi Zhen immediately turned their horses' heads and ran towards Jixian County.

The rest of the people continued on their way, and in a short time they ran to the whistle of Zhuyi.

Before everyone got close to the whistle, Zhuge crossbows shot down from the air with a loud sound, and if it wasn't for the tail to block it, one of the arrows would have landed on He Yin.

Xiao Zilun's face was full of anger, and he raised his waist card high: "Dog thief, open your dog eyes wide!" Hurt the court officials, how many heads can you drop! ”

The man on the tower opened his mouth: "Ahh He waved his arms vigorously and danced his hands to the ground. Although he is a mute, the meaning is clear: "idlers do not enter".

Xiao Zhaoxiu didn't say a word, and shot an arrow at the man on the tower. But the distance was too far, and the arrow was inserted into the stone wall of the tower.

The man on the tower was so angry that he slapped the windowsill and shot at the bottom of the tower.

Xiao Zilun and Xiao Zhaoxiu glanced at each other, took off the bow and arrow from their backs, and ordered: "Someone!" Hold the shield! ”

A man in a hunting suit, picking up two shields, stepped forward on horseback. Two shields, one on the left and one on the left, the one in the left hand was held high above his head to block his head, and the shield in his right hand was held high above Xiao Zilun's head.

Xiao Zhaoxiu immediately understood, and also ordered: "Someone! Hold the shield! ”

The deputy general beside Xiao Zhaoxiu walked out and concocted it in the same way, and also protected Xiao Zhaoxiu under the shield.

"Huaishang, let's see who knocks down the people on the tower first."

Xiao Zhaoxiu nodded, and rushed towards the tower with his legs between the horse's belly. Xiao Zhaoxiu's lieutenant is called Hairong, who has known Xiao Zhaoxiu for many years and has a tacit understanding, and the horses of the two have always maintained a distance of two fists and go hand in hand.

The crossbow arrows on the towers on the left and right fell like a torrential rain. The crossbow arrows shot by Zhuge crossbow are strong, and ten arrows can be fired in a row, and the skilled crossbow archers are fast, and they can almost fire crossbow arrows without interruption. Suddenly, Xiao Zhaoxiu and Xiao Zilun's shields were smashed with a loud bang.

People under the shield are even more deafening.

Xiao Zhaoxiu pulled out the feather arrow from his back, and the arrow was off the string, the angle was one point lower, and the arrow only shot at the wooden railing on the tower. Xiao Zhaoxiu frowned and said, "Hairong, the shield is low." ”

Hairong hid under his shield, and the crossbow arrow landed on the shield, shaking his ears. He looked back at Xiao Zhaoxiu, only to see Xiao Zhaoxiu's mouth open and closed, and he didn't hear what Xiao Zhaoxiu was saying at all. Hairong asked loudly, "What did you say?" I can't hear clearly! ”

Xiao Zhaoxiu pointed to the shield above his head.

Hairong thought that Xiao Zhaoxiu said that the shield was not blocked tightly enough, so he sent the shield forward.

Xiao Zhaoxiu frowned, simply picked up the shield with one hand, clamped his legs heavily on the horse's belly, and rushed out from under the shield with the horse.

Hairong exclaimed: "Huaishang! ”

As soon as the words fell, a crossbow arrow had already shot towards Xiao Zhaoxiu in the air, aiming squarely at Xiao Zhaoxiu's front door.

Xiao Zhaoxiu's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the whole person leaned to the left, hiding under the horse's belly, and dodged the crossbow arrows. Just before the next crossbow arrow was issued, Xiao Zhaoxiu had already shot an arrow, hitting the eyebrows of the man on the tower.

"Good!" The crowd erupted in applause.

He Yin looked at Osu. Ojuku immediately led twenty men and raided from the left.

The people on the tower on the other side saw that Xiao Zhaoxiu had succeeded, and they immediately panicked, and when they missed for a while, the action of loading the crossbow arrows slowed down. Taking advantage of the moment when this person lost his mind, Xiao Zilun also rushed out of his shield and shot the man down from the tower with an arrow.

……

……

Qi Zhen and Cao Jingzhao rushed back to Jixian County, and the people of the Fusang League had gathered in front of the Pinjin Grotto. Today's gold cave is different from the past, even the lanterns are not lit, and people go to the empty building.

"Mrs. Qi, I rushed over when I saw the signal, but there doesn't seem to be anything here."

Qi Zhen frowned and said: "Now that there is chaos in Zhuyi, the small alliance leader has released this signal inside, it must be for us to come here and wait." ”

He Jingying took over Fusang Pei, but did not officially become the leader of the Fusang League, so in private, when Qi Zhen and the people of the Fusang League mentioned He Jingying, they all used the title of "small alliance leader".

"We've checked, and the inside of the gold cave has been emptied. It should be that as soon as Zhuyi was disposed of, the Golden Grottoes withdrew when they heard the wind. ”

"What about the evidence? Do we have it in our hands? ”

"We have been collecting evidence for several years to make and sell Immortal Jade Dew Pills and collude with the government to harm good people."

Qi Zhen shook his head and said, "None of this is fatal. I don't know if the little alliance leader has found anything. ”

Wushisan has not been banned, and the production and sale of Immortal Jade Dew Pills is not a big crime. Colluding with the government to harm the good people is only the responsibility of Ji County, and it may not even be implicated by the county guard of Pei County.

Cao Jingzhao said: "Since the princess summoned us here, if she wasn't looking for something, it would definitely be someone for us to wait for." ”

Qi Zhen frowned slightly, and then thought about the key clearly: "Someone must have escaped from the secret passage in Zhuyi, and the exit of the secret passage is Jixian." ”

Cao Jingzhao said a little anxiously: "Jixian County is so big, where will the exit of the secret passage be?" ”

Qi Zhen pondered: "The terrain of Jixian County is gentle, and there are no mountains. Secret passages cannot be built too long or too far. ”

"Is it in the gold cave?"

"It's possible, but our guys just went in and searched around, and they didn't see any secret passages." For the sake of prudence, Qi Zhen still sent five people to search the Pinjin Cave again.

Qi Zhen looked in the direction of Zhuyi, thought for a while, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart: "Jing Zhao, it may be on the stargazing platform!" The dog official of Jixian County is the dog slave of Zhuyi, do you remember that there were guards when we were going to go to the stargazing platform? Is there a building where people are not allowed to go up? ”

Cao Jingzhao nodded: "What you said makes sense, let's hurry over and take a look." ”

Qi Zhen and Cao Jingzhao hurriedly rode their horses to the stargazing platform, and saw that the guards in front of the stargazing platform had fallen in a pool of blood.

She was a step late, Qi Zhen's five fingers were closed, the green tendons in her hands burst out, and she gave a concise order to the Fusang Sect people behind her: "Search!" ”
