Five days after coming to Luozhou Prefecture, Yang Ping finally finished handling things, and Li Yi and the others were ready to go on the road again.

When the morning light was faint, Li Yi and the others left the inn and headed for the city gate.

As soon as the morning bell rings in the city, the gate of Luozhou State will open, and Li Yi and the others will continue to embark on the road to Xinzhou.

And when Li Yi and the others came to the city gate and waited for the city gate to open, there were already many people at the city gate who were ready to leave the city early in the morning.

Among them was Luo Wang Mu Linyan, and he was still followed by the five people in the restaurant.

The weather in early winter is cold, especially the temperature is much cooler than usual.

In order to escape the cold, the people who were waiting for the city to open at the gate of the city couldn't help but get closer, so as to avoid the cold wind blowing over.

And there were also a lot of people gathered around Mu Linyun standing in the crowd, most of these people were small merchants and hawkers in the city of Luozhou Prefecture and some long-term workers, and they wanted to go out of the city to work as soon as the city opened.

And these people are generally dressed relatively thinly, so most of them are bent over their waists and try to shrink their bodies as small as possible.

But the clothes they wore were thicker, so they stood out a little in the crowd with their straight posture.

However, ordinary people didn't pay attention to them, but there were three people in this group, although their heads were lowered and their backs were bent, but they didn't leave them at all.

With the sound of the crisp morning bell, the heavy gate of Luozhou City was slowly opened, and the people crowded at the city gate rushed towards the outside of the city.

At this time, there were also a large number of people waiting outside the city to enter the city, so when the people inside the city poured out, they quickly overlapped with the people outside the city.

Li Yi and the others drove the carriage and finally squeezed out of the crowd, and as soon as they got out of the crowd, they sped up and rushed towards Anzhou in the south.

Although Nakju and Anju are two adjacent states, it takes about four days to walk from the state town of Nakju to the state town of Anju, so they have to hurry up.

By the time the sun began to slowly dispel the cold that enveloped the earth, they had already left the city of Luozhou for more than ten miles.

At this time, it was only three or four miles away from the Luozhou Grottoes they had visited before.

Looking at this section of stone mountain in front of them, there was still a trace of reluctance in everyone's hearts.

And as they reached the mountain path covered with artemisia grass, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting from the direction of the grotto.

Accompanied by the sound of fighting and the roar of rage.

"You dog thief, you actually led someone to ambush here, your Buddha will not spare you even if he is a ghost."

The roar echoed through the grotto like thunder.

"You remnants of the Buddhist family, we no longer track down Zhal and others, but I never thought that you would still be dead and still trying to assassinate us."

No sooner had the roar fallen than another shrill voice echoed through the mountains.

The crowd who was still on the road couldn't help but stop the carriage after hearing this sound.

Li Yi and the others immediately drew their weapons and waited for them, they were worried that they would be affected.

Sure enough, just as Li Yi and the others drew their respective weapons, several arrows shot out of the artemisia grass.

Hearing the "boom" sound of arrows, Li Yi jumped off his horse in an instant, and then picked off all the arrows in three or two strokes with Dingfeng Bo in his hand.

"I didn't expect these thieves to have two more hits."

Seeing that the arrow failed to hit Li Yi and the others, more than a dozen people immediately stood up in the grass, all of whom were wearing armor and holding crossbow arrows in their hands.

And the leader of this group of people is He Qiu, Mu Linyan's guard.

"I think Your Excellency must have misunderstood, we are just a convoy passing by here, not the remnants of the Buddhist family as you say."

Li Yi saw that more than a dozen people standing up were holding crossbow arrows aimed at him, so he quickly explained.

Although it is very easy to deal with these dozen people with their strength, considering that these people are all wearing armor, they look like people from the imperial court or the army of feudal towns and feudal kings.

No matter what their identities were, Li Yi didn't want to offend them.

"Hmph, it's not up to you to decide whether it's a thief or not."

He Qiu didn't listen to Li Yi's explanation, and they immediately commanded their subordinates to surround the convoy.

At this moment, there was another roar from the direction of the grotto.

"Senior brother, go quickly!"

Then there was a loud "boom", and then a large amount of smoke and dust was raised from the first floor of the grotto.

At the same time, the figures of the two ran out of the smoke and dust.

The speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and they ran to the mountain road in an instant like two lightning bolts.

And behind them were chasing more than a dozen people, all of whom also had crossbow arrows in their hands, and these people were chasing and firing.

Due to the huge force of the crossbow arrows, the missed arrows hit the stone slabs on the ground and splashed sparks.

At this time, An Ding and An Le dodged the arrow while eagerly rushing towards the bottom of the mountain road.

And An Le still had an arrow stuck in his back at this time, and the wound was still bleeding under the violent running, but An Le didn't seem to be aware at all.

When the two of them rushed to the mountain crossing, they were both stunned, and at this time, the two of them found that a convoy of horse-drawn carriages was blocking the mountain crossing.

And the soldiers who besieged themselves were surrounding the convoy in the middle.

They were stunned by the soldiers besieging Li Yi.

They were originally arranged on both sides of the mountain road to block the remnants of these Buddhist gates, but Li Yi and others had no choice but to expose themselves when Li Yi and others suddenly broke into here, but when they thought that they had successfully blocked the reinforcements of the remnants of Buddhism, they never thought that there was an accident on the side of the grotto, which was originally foolproof.

After a brief moment of confusion, An Ding and An Le immediately realized that now was really a good opportunity for them to escape.

So the two immediately split up and fled in different directions.

And He Qiu and the soldiers besieging Li Yi and the others looked at the figures of the two getting farther and farther away, and they didn't react until now.

"What are you still doing around us, I already said that we are just passing through here, what is the use of you letting the people of the Buddhist family not chase and surround us?"

Being reminded by Li Yi like this, He Qiu, who was still stunned and at a loss, immediately realized what he really had to do now.

So he immediately arranged for these soldiers to divide into two ways and chased after An Ding and An Le.

After they were far away, Li Yi and his party finally put their minds at ease.

Just as they decided to hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong, some people appeared on the mountain path again.

And this group of people is headed by Mu Linyan.

Now they were in the middle of a man with shackles on his hands and feet, and shackles around his neck.

With the sound of the chain "clattering", Quiet walked slowly down the hill step by step.

By this time, one of his arms was already hanging from the shackles, and his right leg was also limping.

Just half an hour ago, he, Anding and An Le followed Mu Linyan all the way to the Luozhou Grottoes.

At that time, they were overjoyed when they saw Mu Linyi and his party coming to the Luozhou Grottoes, knowing that this Luozhou Grottoes was originally a secret base for their conspiracy.

For this, they can say that there is no one in this world who is more familiar with it than them.

Therefore, although there were a total of six people in Mu Linyan's group, the three of them were not worried at all.

On the one hand, they are very confident in their abilities, and on the other hand, they have already set some traps here in the grotto.

These traps were originally intended to prevent the people of the government from discovering this place, and they could use these traps to kill each other.

However, they didn't expect that this trap would come in handy in the assassination of the son of the Holy Martial Emperor, this was simply a godsend.

So when Mu Linyun and his party went up to the grotto, the three of them were ready to start moving.

But when they reached the first level of the grotto, they were horrified to find themselves surrounded by a group of soldiers in armor.

And Mu Linyan, who should have been terrified, showed a smug look on his face, and then they realized that they had fallen for the other party's trick.

Therefore, the three of them started to do it as soon as possible.

I have to say that the three brothers Quiet, Stable and Anle are also strong in martial arts, because the terrain of the grotto is relatively narrow and the terrain of the grotto is complex, even if these soldiers are equipped with crossbow arrows, they do not dare to shoot easily.

Because if one is not done well, it is very likely to hurt Mu Linyan, and if that is the case, then their sin is too great.

So they can only fight hand-to-hand with Jing Jing and others.

However, even if the martial arts of the three of them are far superior to these soldiers, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and after holding each other for a while, An Ding finally began to lose his physical strength and showed his flaws.

Seeing that his soldiers were about to be unable to hold on, Jing Jing had to reflexively help his junior brother.

But because of this, several soldiers who were fighting him finally seized the opportunity to slam a stick on his arm.

This time the quiet arm is discounted.

And Jing Jing and the others saw that the three of their brothers and sisters fell into each other's trap, so he didn't dare to wait any longer, he rushed to the back of a cave Buddha statue in three or two steps, and then leaned his back against the stone wall and kicked on the back of the Buddha statue, and then he roared angrily, and the Buddha statue that was sitting in danger was directly tilted by him to the position where everyone was.

The huge Buddha statue was originally heavier than a thousand jun, and its area was large, and the soldiers who had been going to besiege them scattered and fled when they saw the Buddha statue that was inclined to think of themselves.

At this time, Jing Jing also saw the opportunity to kick away his opponent with one kick, and then rushed to An Ding and An Le's side, pulling the two of them to a safe place one by one.

When the Buddha statue falls, the first layer of the entire grotto will be dusty.

Hiding from the silence of the Buddha statue, he knew that the three of them would probably not be able to run today, but if he could stay and drag these people, maybe his two junior disciples would be able to escape from death.

Thinking of this, he had to tell An Ding and An Le to run quickly, while he himself stayed behind.

When he saw the two brothers running out of the first floor of the grotto, he was hit his right leg by the soldiers.

There was a quiet "click", and I heard the sound of my bones breaking.

It was the same sound as his broken arm just now.

Eventually, he was defeated by several soldiers, but he laughed when he was shackled.

"What's so ridiculous about you madman?"

Jiang Feng slapped Quiet in the face, as an official of the Ministry of War, he must maintain his momentum as a member of the Ministry of War no matter when and where.

"I'm laughing at you for making so many arrangements and only catching a dumb one!"

"What dumb?"

Xiang Shixun didn't understand the meaning of this for a while.

But in the next second, Quiet suddenly began to spill blood from the corner of his mouth.

What's going on?

Mu Linyan on the side was also surprised, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Quiet spit out a blood-stained thing from his mouth.

When they could see clearly what was being spit out quietly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Stop the bleeding quickly, even if you don't have a tongue and you still have hands, you can still write to tell me the answer I want."

Seeing that it was quiet, it was so stubborn, so he shouted angrily to the left and right.

Those people were also nimble, they pressed Quiet to the ground, and then one of them quickly grabbed a small wooden gourd from his waist, and then the other person pried Quiet the most open, and a large amount of blood foam flowed out of the corner of Quiet's mouth.

The man holding the gourd saw that the quiet mouth was pried open, so he immediately poured his gourd mouth into the quiet mouth.

With a low muffled hum, Quiet's whole person held his mouth and twitched constantly on the ground.

It took a while for everyone to notice silence and breathing and heartbeat, and the blood from the corners of his mouth slowed down.

When Mu Linyun and the others finished treating the quiet wound and escorted him down the mountain, they found that He Qiu and the soldiers who were originally ambushed here were gone, and the stability and comfort of the turtle in the urn had disappeared without a trace.

And all that was left at the scene was Li Yi and others who were busy preparing to leave.

After coming to the bottom of the mountain and looking around, Mu Linyan still didn't find He Qiu and the remnants of the two Buddhist families, Mu Linyan began to look at Li Yi and his party.

When he saw the faces of Li Yi and the others clearly, he couldn't help frowning, he felt that these people were very familiar.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Linyan finally remembered where he had seen Li Yi and the others.

"You're the eunuch pig?"

"You're a eunuch pig, your whole family is a eunuch pig!"

When he heard that someone would call himself a eunuch pig by himself, Qi Chao couldn't help but be furious, so he immediately scolded back.

"This little brother, you misunderstood, I'm not scolding you, I was fortunate to be on the side when you were meditating on the side of the food, I never thought that I would meet a few people in this barren mountain and wilderness today, it's really fate!"

Mu Linyan apologized to Qi Chao, and at the same time his attitude was very modest.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Li Yi and his companions happened to pass by here, and they were misunderstood by your people as accomplices of the Buddhist family just now, and I hope this brother will not misunderstand. ”

Li Yi saw the silence of more than a dozen soldiers coming down from the mountain and being shackled, so he also stepped forward and saluted.
