Chapter 225: Just Fighting for Your Life
In a hidden and desolate alley in the southwest of Chang'an City, there is a dilapidated small Taoist temple, and there is a cellar below, and Princess Xiangcheng and Princess Changle are locked in the cellar.
No one could have imagined that this group of people would do the opposite, and let go of the battle in Songshan Shaolin Temple, but Li Junxian, who was seriously injured, was one step ahead and returned to Chang'an City with makeup first, so that they could avoid the search and pursuit of the army, and even the tracking dogs raised by the imperial court were useless.
"The predecessor turned out to be the old master of the Shaolin Temple, no wonder his martial arts are all over the world. Your move is too desperate, they would never have imagined that we didn't go to Shaolin Temple, but hid in Chang'an City. A group of people boasted to the old monk of Tanzong.
The old monk glanced at it and said indifferently: "Who said we won't go to Shaolin Temple?" ”
Forehead...... What?
"Senior, we can't make an appointment with Xiao Rui openly. At that time, the imperial court will definitely overwhelm the territory and surround the Shaolin Temple, whether we can kill Xiao Rui or not, we will not be able to escape. You're here for revenge, but we're here for the bounty, not for our lives. ”
The old monk sneered: "Didn't we divert the tiger from the mountain and lure the snake out of the hole?" Now that the meat ticket has been tied up, and Xiao Rui has also been fished out, you have become a shrunken turtle? If you don't kill Xiao Rui, how can you get the bounty? ”
"But what we want is that if we kill Xiao Rui, we can survive, and finally live to receive the reward!"
The old monk shook his head and said, "No matter what, from the moment we kidnapped the princess, there is no way back. ”
"Old monk, are you yin us?" There is going to be infighting.
At this time, a feather arrow came and nailed it to the dilapidated wooden statue of the Taoist temple, and the people stopped arguing, and the thin bamboo pole stepped forward to pull out the feather arrow and remove the letter tied to it.
"Oh? Xiao Rui was so impulsive that he galloped in the direction of Luoyang? Hehe, it's really messy if you really care. ”
"Nonsense, what about Princess Xiangcheng being pregnant with a child, can he not care? This product is really favored, a colt, before he married the princess, he got pregnant, and the emperor didn't blame him, tsk, it's really strange. ”
The old monk thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, since you don't want to go to Shaomu Mountain with Lao Qu to adventure. Then now is a God-given opportunity, Xiao Rui is on the road alone, we might as well ambush him on the road he must pass through and kill him by surprise. ”
Everyone looked at each other, "Reasonable, it is indeed a godsend!" ”
"But, what about the two meat tickets?"
The old monk said with a cold look in his eyes: "It's useless to stay, kill it!" ”
What? That's the princess of the Tang Dynasty, two princesses, the emperor's favorite princess. This old monk is too ruthless.
The thin bamboo pole reached out and stopped, "Wait." Master, if Buddhism is destroyed, you and Xiao Rui, the entire court, and even the emperor are mortal enemies. But we're not, we're the killers who take the money to do things. And it's not from Datang, they all have their own countries. ”
"If we kill the princess of the Tang Dynasty, even if we can get out at that time, I am afraid that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not let go of the country behind us. Although we are killers who kill like hemp, we still have families in the country, and we don't want to affect our families, so we can't kill meat tickets. ”
The old monk said coldly: "The old man did it himself, can you stop it?" ”
Thin bamboo poles and others blocked the entrance to the cellar.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the thin bamboo pole spoke: "That's it, master, give you a face." Each of us took a step back, leaving two meat tickets here, and let them fend for themselves, whether they live or die, what about their destiny? ”
After a moment of silence, the old monk nodded and retreated.
Then the group cleaned up their whereabouts, quietly went out of Chang'an City, and took a shortcut to chase in the direction of Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui didn't ride his own BMW, he just asked for an ordinary war horse from the palace, and changed horses all the way through the official road station, without hiding his whereabouts at all, looking very anxious.
You can walk from the official road to the direction of Luoyang, not necessarily the fastest, there are some mountain and forest trails, take a straight line distance, although the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, but that is for ordinary people, for the master is not hindered, light work is good as walking on the ground.
If you want to take a shortcut to catch up with Xiao Rui, it is easy, and at the same time, you can avoid the forbidden army troops who are searching.
That night, Xiao Rui ran all the way to the middle of the moon, rested at a post station, and only slept for two hours, and set off in a hurry at dawn, not daring to delay at all.
Not long after he walked out of the post station, on the official road, he only heard a few swishing arrows breaking through the air, and the unsuspecting Xiao Rui was hit by an arrow and rolled off the horse with a scream.
A group of black-clothed people walked out of the surroundings with a smile, and the thin bamboo pole led by them said contemptuously: "I thought that Xiao Rui, who was a god, had three heads and six arms, and it turned out that he was also a reckless man with a mortal body. I didn't even dodge a round of crossbows, which was really boring. ”
Just as a few people approached Xiao Rui, the old monk's eager voice came, "Be careful......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Rui, who fell to the ground, slapped the ground, turned over, and jumped into the air like an eagle fighting rabbits.
I was stunned by the thin bamboo pole and others.
"You didn't get shot?"
Xiao Rui glanced at everyone, although the sky was obscure, but the people who practiced martial arts were deaf and clear, and they were clear in Xiao Rui's eyes.
"You're the one who took my family? Old monk, come out, did you ask me to fight in Songshan Shaolin Temple? ”
The old monk of Tanzong walked out slowly, stroked his palms and praised: "The champion Hou is worthy of being the champion Hou, and those who can enter the Turkic hinterland and return safely are really not mortals." It's a pity, you shouldn't be so cruel as to destroy the Buddha, and today I will let you repay the cause and effect of the Buddha. ”
Xiao Rui sneered: "Just a few of you? It's a pity that I didn't go in person when I destroyed the Shaolin Temple. But it doesn't matter, the inheritance books of the Shaolin Temple have been transported back, and I will burn them all down when the time comes. I will have a private collection of those internal exercises, secret recipes of Dan Fang, etc. ”
You......
"No, you are a group of Jianghu people, hiding your head and showing your tail, there is no way to have a crossbow team."
As he spoke, Xiao Rui reached out and picked up a missed arrow on the ground, and touched the inscription on the arrow, "This is a hard crossbow in the army, hehe, it's very good, it turns out that the ghosts are from inside to the outside, and there are people in the army involved." ”
The old monk said disdainfully: "Don't bother, to tell you the truth, it was the five surnames and seven wangs who gave us intelligence and support behind our backs." It's a pity that you're going to die soon, and you can't get revenge. ”
"Do it!"
Under an order, the old monk took the lead in attacking, and fought hard with Xiao Rui with his absolute strength, taking advantage of Xiao Rui's unstable breath, the others rushed up, each showing his blade, and used his housekeeping skills.
Xiao Rui's face sank like water, although he was not flustered, he knew that he had today's ambush, which was also what he wanted. Only by using your example as bait and fishing out this group of ambushed people can you have the opportunity to find Changle and Xiangcheng as soon as possible.
As for how to follow the vine? Of course, they were taken down one by one, and then tortured to force them out of their hiding places.
Is he doing it alone? Can you take five people? Although he has a plug-in, in the era of cold weapons, there are no firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and there is not much difference. What's more, there is also the super master of the old monk.
Xiao Rui: The family is in the hands of the enemy, life and death are uncertain, I can't let myself not do it, just fight for my life, I must do it!
