Chapter 132: Breaking into the Forbidden Garden at Night
Shan Tingxian's reaction should be said to be very fast.
Originally, he flew to the ground closely behind Shen Lie, but Shan Tingxian didn't expect that Ye Rongcheng would be so poor in advance, and he was seriously injured by Shen Lie after just one move, and at the same time gave the other party the opportunity to completely disrupt the situation.
When Shan Tingxian wanted to catch up with Shen Lie again and entangle him to the death, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, who had fallen into a state of chaos around him, became the biggest interference and obstacle in front of Shan Tingxian.
Seeing that Shen Lie took advantage of the chaos and was about to break out of the encirclement, Shan Tingxian was in a hurry, and with his clever light skills, he suddenly jumped up, jumped high, and rushed straight to Shen Lie not far in front of him from mid-air.
Such a way of consuming internal force did work, and the distance between the two was quickly shortened by Shan Tingxian, however, just when he was only a few steps away from catching up with Shen Lie again, he saw Shen Lie suddenly throw out a jet-black projectile on the ground beside him. As soon as the projectile touched the ground, it exploded, and with a loud crackling sound, a large amount of pungent smoke was also generated, and in an instant, it enveloped all the surrounding areas in a radius of several kilometers.
This is the "Misty Bead", a special refuge artifact made by the Beiya Reverse Scale Division that Lao Jianhua used outside the Zijin Pass.
Shan Tingxian flew in mid-air, and saw Shen Lie's figure disappear into the thick smoke, so he immediately adjusted his direction and turned to the side of the Luoshui River in time.
He knew very well in his heart that Luoshui was Shen Lie's only chance to escape at this time, so needless to say, the other party played a blur bead, in order to escape into the river under the cover of the poisonous mist, and then slip away. Shan Tingxian was experienced, how could he give Shen Lie this way out, so after he predicted the direction of Shen Lie's escape, he rushed ahead and went all out to intercept the head of the Reverse Scale Division.
But things once again exceeded Shan Tingxian's expectations, Shen Lie, who had a lot of tricks tonight, did not rush out of the dense fog from the direction close to Luoshui as he imagined, but continued to use extraordinary means, rushed out from the opposite direction, and as soon as he appeared, he jumped on the roof and quickly galloped in the northwest direction from the other side.
All the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were almost the same as Shan Tingxian, focusing all their attention on the banks of the Luoshui River, which made Shen Lie easily highlight the encirclement. By the time everyone reacted and turned around to chase after them, Shen Lie had already knocked down more than two dozen Xuanjia soldiers in a row, jumped out of the tight encirclement, and ran out of a hundred and ten steps in the chaos.
Shan Tingxian stood in place, screaming angrily.
Seeing that Shen Lie was about to be caught, but the boiled duck was actually fluttering and fluttering its wings, he flew directly, which was really unreasonable. What's more, Shen Lie can successfully play himself one after another when he is under siege, and then turn around and run away, spreading the word, Shan Tingxian really doesn't have to be a person anymore.
"As long as he doesn't enter Luoshui, he can't run away, chase me!" Shan Tingxian shouted angrily, took the lead in performing light skills, and chased after Shen Lie closely. Seeing this, the rest of the men also hurried to follow, jumping up and down the house in pursuit.
Shen Lie's foot strength was amazing, and in the absence of a master's frontal interception, he completely urged Kai Nei to run all the way, heading towards the northwest of Luoyi, accelerating for a moment, feeling faster and faster.
And although Shan Tingxian and the others tried their best, they were always left behind by him a hundred steps away.
After the two sides chased me past a few lanes, Shan Tingxian, who was lagging behind, secretly wondered as he ran: This round-up tonight is a life-and-death situation laid out by Mr. Lao himself. He took advantage of the confusing White Horse Temple incident to successfully lure Shi Shenlie, the head of the Anti-Scale Division, to Luoyi and surround him. It stands to reason that the outermost part is the Luoyi city wall heavily guarded by the Xuanjia Army, and the inside is a capture team composed of many masters.
The only thing to worry about is that he sneaked into Luoshui in a hurry, escaped from the encirclement through the river that extended in all directions, and then hid in the secret lair of the Reverse Scale Division in Luoyi. At that time, if you want to find the traces of the history of the head of the Beiya Reverse Scale Division in the Luoyi City of Nuoda, I am afraid it will be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, as the eastern capital of the Holy Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to close the gates of the city for a long time to search for criminals, let alone search for court officials who were not clearly charged in broad daylight.
However, judging from the current situation, Shen Lie has obviously given up the option of escaping by Luoshui, but has other plans.
Where is he fleeing?
-
Shen Lie urged him to run wildly while looking back to check the situation of the pursuers. Just now, he used clever tricks to finally get out of the encirclement, temporarily avoiding the crisis of being killed on the spot by the other party.
However, the real danger has not been completely removed.
Although the previous fighting did not cause much damage to Shen Lie, due to the large number of Xuanjia soldiers, it was always inevitable to suffer some large and small injuries. At this time, Shen Lie had a total of seven or eight wounds all over his body, although the injury was not serious, but he lost a lot of blood, and when he finally struggled to break through, he had to sacrifice violently and lose his internal strength, and he spared no effort to escape, so now he also felt that he was about to run out of oil and become the end of a strong crossbow.
At the moment, the master of the Xuanjia Army was still biting him in the back, and he didn't relax at all. Especially the Yellow Gate squire Shan Tingxian, as if he was a fierce god, chased closer and closer, and it didn't take long to be able to completely catch up.
Luoyi City is currently under Xie Guang's complete control, and the other party's layout has been planned for a long time and prepared, for him Shen Lie, it can be regarded as having no internal response and no external reinforcements.
There are very few opportunities for him to escape for his life.
The decision just now to give up and escape with the help of the Luoshui River was completely an expedient move that was forced to be made in a helpless situation. If there is still the slightest chance, Shen Lie will definitely fight to the death and escape from Luoshui.
It's a pity that for the enemy who has already been guarded, his choice of Luoshui is no different from choosing a dead end.
Now that Shen Lie didn't think much about it, the only thing he could do was to hurry up and find another way to survive.
And in this crisis-ridden Luoyi City, there is only one way to survive for him at this time, and that is the large magnificent building complex located not far from the front - the Eastern Capital Imperial City!
Imperial! Where the royal car is! Where Prince Li Bing lives!
That place, not to mention trespassing at night, even if you are not summoned in broad daylight, daring to enter without permission is also a crime of killing!
However, the most dangerous places are often the safest places. is a long history of reverse scales, and plans to go directly to reverse the dragon scales at this critical juncture, and fight for a glimmer of life for himself!
Shen Lie did not hesitate at all, suddenly raised his breath and whispered, jumped out a few steps one after another, leaped forward for a distance of nearly ten zhang, and came to the city wall of the Eastern Capital Imperial City in a blink of an eye.
Before the man could fully stand on his feet, his right hand pulled out a small chain-chain claw from his backpack and shot it against the tall wall. The steel flying claw with a slight whistling sound, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly grasped the wall tiles above, Shen Lie dragged it with his hand, feeling that the strength was stable, so he made a strong effort under his feet, and suddenly jumped up, and then used his hands and feet together, climbed the chain to the city wall, and flew into the imperial city where the crown prince Li Bing was located in a blink of an eye.
Shan Tingxian and the others, who were chasing behind, couldn't help but be shocked when they watched Shen Lie's figure disappear into the walls of the imperial city.
Although they still didn't know what Shen Lie's plan was to break into the imperial city at night, his escape into the place where the crown prince was driving had already exceeded Lao Jianhua's previous plan.
This variable may become the most unpredictable factor in tonight's round-up. Once Shen Lie disturbs the Holy Driver, causing the anger of Prince Longwei, God knows how big Lou Zi will be stabbed.
At this time, Shen Lie, who had already broken into the palace city, also saw the concerns of Lao Jianhua, Shan Tingxian and others, so he took the risk of breaking into the forbidden area and seeking survival from death.
According to the intelligence of the Reverse Scale Siluoyi Branch, Li Bing, the crown prince who was ordered to supervise the country, did not seem to be completely in league with Xie Guang, let alone become a puppet puppet of the other party's ear. On the contrary, with Murong Xue's strong cooperation, Li Bing not only withstood the pressure of some of Xie Guang's improper demands, but also gradually grasped some initiative to deal with the ministers.
Like tonight's round-up against himself, Shen Lie bet that Li Bing probably didn't know anything about it in advance.
The reason for this conjecture is actually very simple.
The history of the director of the Beiya Reverse Scale Division is the royal private soldier of the emperors of the past dynasties, as the emperor's servant and eyes and ears, it is tantamount to a cronie among his cronies. With such an identity, it is by no means comparable to ordinary court officials.
In the sphere of influence of the Holy Tang Dynasty, if he, the head of the Reverse Scale Division, has three longs and two shorts, it means that he will directly challenge the supreme imperial power!
No matter how good the temper of the emperor Li Chengwu is, he will never give up.
As for Li Bing, the crown prince of the prison state, he had no motive and reason to get rid of Shen Lie at all. When the situation is gradually becoming more and more favorable to him, isn't it a stupid thing to make a cocoon to hurt the Beiya Reverse Scale Division?
It was based on this consideration that Shen Lie judged that the current siege was completely an action secretly planned by Xie Guang and Lao Jianhua, the purpose of which was not only to cut off the opponents in the court who were unfavorable to them, but also to take this opportunity to provoke and destroy the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince.
Such a ruthless approach can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Shen Lie was in danger and decided to take a gamble along this line of thought. The gambling game is whether his judgment of Li Bing is accurate or not, and the bet is his own net worth. Although it is a heinous crime to break into the palace at night and disturb the holy car, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not intervene in tonight's conspiracy, then for Shen Lie, there is still a precious chance of life.
