Chapter 40: The thief shouts to catch the thief
The princess's mansion was blazing: "It's amazing, the princess is still inside and hasn't come out!" ”
"Where's the horse! Go to the study and report to the horse! "The guards squeezed in, the maids ran out, people squeezed, people were beaten, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and they screamed. It's a mess.
Li Chenghuan took Song Yuxi to trot all the way, and was dumbfounded when he arrived under the wall: Song Yuxi didn't know martial arts. The house slave who was busy fetching water saw the two figures here and shouted, "Those two are sneaky!" Why don't you put out the fire! ”
This is the end of the discovery, Li Chenghuan squatted down decisively: "Quick, step on my shoulder, I'll send you to climb up!" Song Yuxi hesitated, and Li Chenghuan urged: "Let them catch us both and die!" ”
At this time, the sharp-eyed guard finally saw it clearly, and shouted, "Catch that black-clothed one!" Right! It's the one next to the wall! It was she who set the fire!! ”
When Li Chenghuan heard this, he hurriedly said to Song Yuxi: "Run!" After saying that, he pushed her up the wall with force, and flew up the wall himself. But at this time, the guards of the princess's mansion had already reacted, and shouted in unison: "Archer! Hurry up! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Don't let her run!! ”
Dozens of guards rushed up, opened their bows and strings, and the arrows were like flying locusts, densely approaching them, so that people had nowhere to escape.
Li Chenghuan blocked a few times with his sword, and said secretly while looking for a breakthrough: I just used a bundle of hay to get some smoke casually, why is the fire so fierce? Could it be ......
"Fooled!"
It seems that Yiyang's arrest of Song Yuxi is just an introduction, and it is not so simple when it comes to embroidery and clothing!
If you want to fight, there is a dense array of arrows in front; If you want to escape, the back road is blocked by people. What can I do? Just fly over the rooftop.
Li Chenghuan swung his sword to kill the nearest few archers, and then hugged Song Yuxi with one hand, tiptoed, and jumped onto the highest roof of the princess's mansion.
At this time, the gate of the princess's dormitory suddenly opened, and Yiyang stood on the steps and ordered: "Don't leave a living mouth, shoot arrows indiscriminately!" ”
Originally, the archers were still thinking of grabbing the mouth alive and interrogating it well, but suddenly the princess gave an order, and the only concerns were suddenly gone, and the rain of arrows was urgent and ruthless, and they came towards the roof with their heads covered and their faces headed.
Li Chenghuan's light skills are one of the best, and she knows all the streets and alleys by heart, and she leaps and climbs on the roof ridge and is as light as a swallow, attracting all the guards of the princess's mansion to go out, holding torches to chase and intercept them on all sides.
Seeing that he was about to be made dumplings, Li Chenghuan said: "Do you see the alley in front?" From there, it's the backyard of the Gu Mansion! I'll lead away the pursuers, and you run quickly. ”
Song Yuxi was very nervous: "Then what should you do??" ”
"I'm fine! You run! Li Chenghuan jumped and fell from the roof.
There was the sound of neat horses' hooves in the distance, and the chasing guards squinted and saw a team of purple-clothed men and horses galloping towards them. When they got closer, everyone saw that this was a person from Dali Temple.
"We received a report that someone had set fire to the princess's house."
"Exactly!"
Song Lian, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, immediately came to the spirit: "Brothers, be sure to catch the prisoner!" ”
However, when they looked up, they suddenly found that the person who was still on the roof just now disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Block the streets!!"
"Close the gates!!"
"Yes!"
Song Lian raised his right hand and said in a loud voice: "The thieves are rampant, they dare to set fire to rob people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, tonight, those who arrest the thieves will be rewarded!" ”
The crowd erupted in a neat and loud voice: "Yes! ”
However, a low chuckle cut off everyone's voices mercilessly.
The laughter was three points flamboyant, seven points arrogant, and with a touch of mockery, everyone brushed their knives and looked up in the direction where the voice came.
This street is the liveliest night market in Chang'an, where the tallest restaurant and the tallest watchtower are located. And now, on the high watchtower, there is a black figure!
Everyone raised the weapons in their hands, and Song Lian said sharply: "Bold thief!" Don't surrender quickly! ”
The figure stood with his sword in his hand and said in astonishment: "I didn't commit a crime, why did I surrender?" Oh, and burn down the princess's mansion? Hijacking the Gu family's daughters? Did you see me burning? Do you see me robbed? Do you have an arrest warrant for arresting someone? Is there any physical evidence? Has the Tingwei Mansion accepted it? Nothing, why catch me! ”
This series of rhetorical questions did not give an inch, and actually stopped Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Song Lian was speechless, annoyed and angry: "Come on, take down this female thief for me!" ”
The people were ordered to go out at once.
Li Chenghuan will not be so obediently tied up. As I said earlier, she is not good at anything, just this light skill used to escape for her life, I saw her sleeves sweeping, a swallow sweeping the water across the long street, and the officers and soldiers grabbed weapons and chased after them, so it was not lively.
"Quick! Come on! I was let her run! "Front, back, left and right, three streets and six lanes, there are guards chasing after them.
For a while, the entire Chang'an City was alarmed, and many people stopped to watch: "Look! The one flying around! It was she who burned the princess's mansion!! ”
After throwing the pursuers away for a distance, Li Chenghuan's physical strength was really unbearable, and he was about to find a place to hide first, when suddenly the window of the opposite building was pushed open, and someone looked out curiously: "It's so noisy, what's going on?" ”
Before the words fell, a person suddenly fell from the window, dressed in black and sassy, with a long sword, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back: "What person, what person!" ”
Li Chenghuan covered his mouth: "Shhh ”
The man said, "Huh? ”
When Li Chenghuan heard the voice, he suddenly let go of his hand and looked at it: this person was dressed in a blue lotus-colored brocade robe, his hair was tied with a golden crown, his facial features were handsome, his face was pale, and he was looking at himself dumbfounded: "Miss Li?!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Yong!?"
The sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding at the staircase was accompanied by the bitter plea of the restaurant owner: "This official, the little one is just doing some small business, where do you dare to harbor any assassins, if there are assassins, I won't report to the official soon!" ”
"Less nonsense! Open the door! Search for me one by one! ”
Immediately after that, the doors and windows clattered, and the loud sound of utensils, furniture, tables and chairs being overturned and smashed came to my ears. Every time it sounded, the owner of the restaurant shouted, "Ouch", "The official is light", "I hurt the villain" and other words, and the head of the search guard couldn't bear it: "Shut your mouth!! ”
"Yes, yes......" The boss responded aggrievedly, and said cautiously: "Dare to ask the official, what happened?" ”
"Someone set fire to the princess's mansion! The criminals are upstairs from you! ”
Yang Shu was even more confused: "Who did you hijack??" ”
"Don't ask so much, hide me!"
The guards had already come to the door, and the door was pounded loudly, "If we don't open the door, we'll break in!" ”
Yang Shu has never encountered such a problem in his life for more than ten years, and he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "How can you hide it?" ”
The two people in the room stared at each other. Li Chenghuan looked around, this box is for guests to drink and chat, how can two big people be hidden?
It's too late, it's fast, there was a "bang", and the door was forcibly slammed open!
