Chu Mubai had quietly grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, but at that moment, he hesitated.

What if not? Is it worth risking on your own?

What if? Li Teng'er will definitely not let herself leave Xiliang alive. On his own, it is difficult to speak alone, even if he can escape the search of the guards tonight, he may not be able to get out of the capital. Even if he left the capital, Li Teng'er led his troops to pursue him, but he could not return to Chang'an safely.

Pay for one's whistle.

It was at this moment of hesitation that Li Teng'er had already opened the secret letter, glanced at it, showed surprise on his face, glanced left and right, and the secret letter in his hand turned into powder and floated away with the wind.

She rode on the horse, was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and commanded in a deep voice: "Collect the team and go home!" ”

"Don't you continue the search?" The man who looked like a leader asked loudly.

Li Teng'er shook his head: "Don't search, go home." ”

The guards gathered and the tide poured down, and calm returned to the streets.

Chu Mubai jumped down from under the eaves of the corridor, thought for a while, and felt that he was now exposed to his hide, and this capital was no longer a place to stay for a long time. It would be better to escape from Xiliang immediately and return to Chang'an.

Fortunately, this trip was worthwhile, and he heard clearly the purpose of Li Teng'er's trip to Chang'an, and finally understood why Xiliang was willing to give up this priceless blood ginseng in exchange for Chang'an's three thousand bows and crossbows. It turned out that the situation in Xiliang was already precarious, and they urgently needed this bow and crossbow to stabilize the situation in the court.

At the same time, he has a bottom in his heart, this Prince Xiliang is not a sick straw bag as rumored, but Taoguang is obscure. But judging from Li Teng'er's words and attitude towards him, I feel that it may not be a very powerful character, and it seems that he and Mo Guhan are too worried.

Also, who is that "he" in their mouths?

What did the changes refer to back then?

Why did Li Teng'er wait for him to return to Xiliang to turn the tide?

Studied but cannot comprehend.

He glanced around and looked at the hour, worried that tomorrow Li Teng'er would not give up and continue to search, it would be very easy for him to expose his identity, so it would be better to go out of the city overnight. As long as you can get out of the capital and travel overnight, everything will be fine.

The city gate has been closed, but for Chu Mubai, it is like walking on the ground, and it is effortless to go out of the city.

But the horse had to be abandoned.

He evaded the soldiers patrolling the city, climbed out of the city wall, and hurried overnight in the direction of Chang'an, preparing to buy a new horse suitable for a long journey in the next town.

At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moon gradually lifts the heavy dark clouds, revealing a pale yellow halo. The trees on both sides of the official road are shadowy and sparse.

It's silent, and there's not even a figure, so it's just the right time to do light kung fu. As soon as Chu Mubai left the city, he threw off his steps, took eight steps to catch the cicadas, and hurried away.

He is a martial arts practitioner, his eyesight is excellent, and after adapting to the night, he can be hundreds of meters away as far as his eyes can see.

He paused suddenly.

On the official road ahead, a man and a rider stood in the middle of the road, and the horse stepped impatiently on the hooves. The man on the horse straightened his spine and faced the way he came, unable to see his eyebrows clearly.

Chu Mubai knew that the one who came was not good, and the good one did not come, and the other party was obviously waiting here on purpose, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

He stretched out his hand and pressed the hilt of the sword, bursting out with a fierce murderous aura all over his body, and the whole person was like a tense bow and arrow, ready to attack.

The other party seemed to be keenly aware of it, and sighed faintly: "I want to let you go back to Chang'an, but you want to kill me." ”

It was Li Teng'er's voice, just like her person, full of seductive seduction.

Chu Mubai couldn't help but be stunned, and slowly let go of the hand holding the sword.

Obviously, Li Teng'er already knew his identity.

He was a little surprised, he was covered in a black scarf, and he was dressed in a night suit, even if the two had fought each other, he thought that he had not shown the slightest flaw.

How did Li Teng'er guess it?

When she was in the Prince's Mansion, she was still suspicious that she was in the same league as the Spirit King and others.

"How do you know it's me?"

"Feeling."

"Then why did Shicai give up the search? But you want to capture me alone? ”

"If they catch you and are recognized by them, you will definitely die, and there is absolutely no chance of survival. I, Xiliang, will not be stupid enough to negotiate with the emperor of Chang'an. Li Teng'er smiled bitterly: "But I don't want you to die, and I don't want to let you go, I've been here for a long time, whether I want to arrest you back to the capital." I had already made up my mind, but as soon as I saw you, I immediately changed my mind. ”

Chu Mubai was silent, and Li Teng'er spoke again: "When I talk to the prince's brother, how much have you heard?" ”

Chu Mubai said coldly: "All." ”

"Can't you lie to me that you only heard a little?"

Chu Mubai shook his head: "I don't want to lie to you anymore." ”

"But then I don't have an excuse to let you go back to Chang'an, I've thought about it over and over again, and I think there are some things you shouldn't know, let alone let your emperor of Chang'an know."

"You're single-handed, you're no match for me at all, does this excuse count?"

Li Teng'er, who was riding on a horse in front, raised his hand: "But before I left, I was afraid that you would bully me, so I specially brought a Zhuge bow and crossbow." ”

"The bow and crossbow are indeed deadly to ordinary people, and there is no way to avoid them." Chu Mubai said confidently: "For me, even if you add a bow and crossbow, you may not be an opponent." ”

"Hehe," Li Teng'er smiled bitterly: "Then I will be at ease." ”

Chu Mubai slowly approached in her direction: "Why did you let me go?" ”

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Chu Mubai was silent for a while.

"Who is he?"

Li Teng'er smiled: "The question you asked is very stupid. ”

Chu Mubai said softly.

"Can you forget all the things you overheard?"

"That's just as stupid as you're asking."

Li Teng'er smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have even more stupid ideas, I was naïve just now, you chased Xiliang for me." ”

Chu Mubai shook his head categorically: "No, I'm just interested in your prince of Xiliang." ”

"And now?"

Chu Mubai replied: "It's better to see than to hear, the prince of your country turned out to be a powerful character, but he has been obscure in Taoguang." ”

Li Teng'er smiled, and there was a little imperceptible relief in her voice.

"My Li family's son-in-law is categorically mediocre, and I disappointed you."

Chu Mubai took two steps forward: "But he seems to be afraid of you." ”

"Brother Prince just spoils me very much, and he has spoiled me very much since he was a child, just like you treat Sister Yuehua with the same care."

I listened to the tone in which he spoke, and I was not interested in Yuehua at all. I'm afraid you're a matchmaker. ”

In the dark night, Chu Mubai couldn't see the expression on Li Teng'er's face clearly, and listening to her sigh, she was extremely sad.

"Born in the emperor's family, who can be completely satisfied. I like Sister Yuehua, and Brother Prince will definitely like it. ”

Chu Mubai had already walked in front of Li Teng'er, and Li Teng'er shook the bow and crossbow in his hand: "Stop, take a step forward, and I'm welcome." ”

"But you're blocking my way back to Chang'an."

Li Teng'er was silent for a moment: "I'm still hesitating, I won't let you leave until I make up my mind." ”

Chu Mubai said coldly: "I don't need you to let me go, I Chu Mubai stands up to the sky and doesn't want to accept your favor." If you do it, I will return to Chang'an with my own skills. ”

"However, you already owe me a favor, whether you admit it or not." Li Teng'er said domineeringly: "If I lead thousands of troops and horses and wait for you here, do you think you have the ability to escape?" ”

Chu Mubai shook his head honestly: "No." ”

Li Teng'er's hand began to tremble invisibly: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as I kill you, kill you, I Xiliang may be able to drive straight into the ......"

"No more self-deception. First, you can't kill me, second, even if you kill me, you Xiliang are not the opponent of our Chang'an Iron Cavalry, and third, you should beg me to spare you. ”

As soon as Chu Mubai's voice fell, taking advantage of Li Teng'er's unpreparedness, the long sword in his hand had already come out of its sheath, and in a flash of light, it went straight to Li Teng'er's wrist holding a bow and crossbow.

Li Teng'er was taken aback and wanted to pull the trigger, but after all, he relented for a while, crooked the bow and crossbow a little, and then shot out.

The two of them were only a stone's throw away from each other, and the strength of the bow and crossbow was great, and if they really shot, they could come out through the bones.

However, it was this slight deviation that Chu Mubai was able to dodge the attack of the bow and crossbow, and then with a flick of the long sword, he bullied forward with lightning speed, and the tip of the sword was against Li Teng'er's heart.

Li Teng'er remained motionless, without a trace of fear.

"Now you are in my hands." Chu Mubai said coldly.

"Are you going to kill me?" Li Teng'er blinked.

"If I don't kill you, will you lead your troops to hunt me down? Then I won't be able to escape from your Xiliang. ”

Li Teng'er suddenly began to sob, gently at first, and then the voice became louder and louder, which made Chu Mubai a little at a loss.

"You bully people, you men in Chang'an are really not good things."

The voice is delicate and sweet, with a sense of disgust.

Chu Mubai's sword tip froze, not knowing what he should do next. He knew that Li Teng'er had shown mercy to his subordinates, and if his long sword really stabbed down, it would indeed be ruthless.

"I shouldn't have sneaked out of the city to see you by myself, and I shouldn't have been dizzy and merciful."

Li Teng'er cried, just like Yuehua when she was a child, she was rude and willful, crying unscrupulously, tears flowing, and she didn't care about her image at all.

He gritted his teeth, withdrew the long sword, put it back in its scabbard, and turned around and said, "We are clear." ”

He strode forward with his head held high, and his majestic figure was as tall as a pine, like a jade tree facing the wind.

When he was far away, Li Teng'er, who had been crying and crying behind him, touched a handful of tears fiercely, and said hatefully: "Chu Mubai, either you owe me, or I owe you, and it will never be possible to settle the two." ”

Raised his wrist, pulled the trigger in his hand, and the arrows and crossbows shot one after another, Chu Mu did not look back, raised his sword to resist, and the bows and crossbows were like locusts, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Finally, because it was far away, the end of the strong crossbow was light and fluttering, and there was no strength.

Li Teng'er kept watching Chu Mubai drift away, turned the horse's head, shook the horse's reins, and the horse neighed under his crotch and walked away.
