Chapter 339: The Boy with the Knife on His Back (1)
Their "diehard" Yuan Sanwen.
"Three days of farewell, Lord Xu." Yuan Sanwen smiled.
Xu Jingyi wanted to say something, but after all, he still didn't say anything, he really didn't expect that Yuan Sanwen, who had always been tied to a rope with his people, would actually be double-faced.
The scene is very dramatic.
The city gate has been closed, and Li Zenan and his party of more than 100 people have their backs to the city gate, and on the opposite side are Xu Jingyi and others, and the city guards are holding weapons around them.
Several court officials behind Xu Jingyi were the first to show a look of horror, and subconsciously stepped back.
And the city guards were also timid, and pushed back slightly.
The situation is imminent.
"Long and He have been taken, Xu Jingyi, Xie Jun, what about you?" Li Zenan sat on the horse majestically, and his whole person exuded a terrifying "momentum".
But there are always people who see the situation clearly.
"What's the matter? Do it! Xie Jun suddenly raised his knife and shouted.
This sound instantly woke everyone present, and Xie Jun quickly grasped the truth implied at this moment-
The matter has come to this point, no one has a way out, the thing is either not done, or it is absolutely done, and it is difficult to escape death, it is better to be killed by Li Zenan!
Hearing this, those city guards also figured it out in an instant, and someone first stabbed at Li Zenan, who was headed by him, with a spear.
Li Zenan let out a chuckle, raised his hand and pulled out his sword, slashing it down.
The skull flew out like a kettle of blood, signaling the beginning of the battle.
The fire flashed brightly, and there was chaos at the city gates.
……
……
The figure with the sword on his back came to the city wall and looked up.
There was silence all around, and it was eerily eerie.
He hid in the shadows, and from time to time there were patrolling soldiers walking by the walls, looking for patterns and waiting for the right moment.
Tonight, it is clear that something has happened in Chang'an City, and Jin An is ready to take advantage of the situation to attack.
Time is running out, he wants to enter the city.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult to enter the city, but he has a certain degree of confidence when he is alone.
As the two patrolling guards staggered each other, he suddenly left the shadows and made a move.
His body seemed to have no weight in an instant, and he jumped up and left the ground, his hands and arms leaning against the bricks of the city wall, jumping several times and constantly lifting upward.
Before this, he had never done such a dangerous act, the walls of Chang'an were strong and tall, and they were well defended and difficult to climb, but he was going to enter the city in his current state, probably because he realized that tonight would be the most critical night in Chang'an, once he sat back and waited for the result, then it was very likely that everything would be different.
As the speed increased, the cold wind of the autumn night eroded him, and it was a chill that penetrated his heart.
Feeling the slightly rough touch on the bricks, he looked up at the height above and took another deep breath.
He flashed into a shadow, trying to keep rising.
But at this moment, the city wall suddenly became messy, as if something big had happened, there were so many people, almost all the city guards were alarmed, and for a time countless people passed above him, and he could not make any more movements.
Secretly scolded, he could only lie in the middle of the city wall like a gecko, and did not dare to make any movements at will.
His fingers were embedded deep in the bricks to support his weight, and when the body stopped, the weight of his body gradually increased, and it was still a little difficult to keep it in mid-air.
The city guards above seem to have moved, it should be that something happened in Chang'an, there are constantly people running with weapons, and he can only wait patiently.
After a long time, the garrison of this part of the city wall was much reduced, and there were no more people running in confusion, although there were still people patrolling, but it was clear that there were fewer people than before.
He put his ear to the bricks and listened quietly.
Someone came near, and then went away.
After a while, it was like that again.
He figured out the pattern, and when someone patrolled and left again, he made a move, and his breath was released outward, and his body was as light as a swallow, and he kept rising against the city wall.
"Brush—"
He rolled over, crossed a pass, and half-crouched on the ground, scanning warily in all directions.
He finally made it to the top of the city, but it took him a lot of energy and time.
Not daring to linger any longer, he cautiously swept to the other side of the wall, probed down, and jumped in one leap.
Returning to Chang'an, he is like a stream where a fish that has lived in the sea for many years returns to its birth, and a sense of familiarity and intimacy arises spontaneously.
But there is also an indescribable strangeness.
Because he is now advertised as a sinner, a traitor, after the fall of the government, he became the son of a criminal minister, returned from the northern frontier, because of the protection of the first emperor, he lived well, but after the death of the first emperor, everything was completely over.
Mo said that the entire Northern Tang Dynasty, that is, this Chang'an, will collapse under the offensive of Jin'an, maybe in the near future, the Li family dynasty will completely disappear, among them, he is a participant, he fuels the flames, and constantly fights against the Northern Tang Dynasty for revenge, he doesn't know whether he has done anything wrong in an objective sense, he only knows that in a subjective sense, he is not wrong.
The most important thing is that these things have become a knot between him and Li Xiyun, how should they be honest with each other?
When he thought of all this, he had already gone deep into Chang'an Avenue.
There was a dead silence all around, and everyone sensed the unrest of the night, and they closed their doors one by one, not daring to move out at will, and they did not know if there were sleepless eyes in the dark watching the scene on the street.
He suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and desolation.
Of course, when I came back to my senses with such a state of mind, I was already in a place where the mansions of the adults of various prefectures gathered.
He saw a faint figure in the dim light of the sky lingering in front of a mansion.
He ducked away and watched quietly.
"What happened when you arrived tonight?" He heard a hesitant but glutinous female voice ask.
"I don't know, you come with me and go to the Guogong Mansion."
The young man's voice was so familiar, he raised his head and thought about it, only to realize that it was Liu Yinian's voice.
"I ...... I can't go, I'm still from the Xu family......" Although the female voice refused, it didn't sound firm.
"You old stewards have agreed, what are you hesitating about?" Liu Yinian sounded a little angry.
"I haven't gotten my father's consent yet."
"What about your father?"
