In the hut of Chongye Fang, Jiu Zhi was busy packing his luggage, drinking meat porridge slowly, talking to Jiu Zhi in a low voice, he was very weak and could only barely walk.

Although Xiao Xi's body is still very weak and it is not suitable to travel far, they must go, Li Zhen sat on the side and pondered silently, the changes in his life tonight really made him unexpected.

Someone actually killed Wu Shun, who would have done this?

At this time, Li Zhen glanced up at Yan Xiao, and saw her sitting in front of the window in a daze, looking preoccupied, Li Zhen had a thought in his heart, he walked up to Yan Xiao and said, "Miss Yan, can you sue me, who shot Wu Shun to death?"

Yan Xiao's expression was gloomy, and after a while, he said: "This is their plan, it was supposed to be up to me to do it, but I ran away, I thought they would change the plan, so I didn't tell you, and it ended up affecting you." ”

Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, but now there was no point in blaming Yanxiao, so he had to ask with a wry smile, "Who are they?"

Yan Xiao shook her head, "I really don't know, I only contact one woman, and she arranges what I do, and the reason why I help her do things is because my master wants to return a favor." ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why did you run away?"

Yan Xiao sighed: "I grabbed the relics that night, but just as I was about to give them the relics, I overheard the woman saying that she wanted to kill me, I ran away with the relics, and was chased and killed by them. ”

At this time, Jiuzhi came over and said, "Lao Li, pack up!"

The killing of Wushun is definitely a big deal, and the suspicion of several of them is the brunt, and the official palace will search the city after dawn tomorrow, and they must escape from the city overnight.

Although Li Zhen still had some doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Yan Xiao again, he had no time now, so he could only ask again later.

"Old fat, you have a small back, we are ready to go!"

"Now that the city gate is closed, how can you get out of the city?" asked Yan Xiao next to him.

"I had to go out of the city. ”

"And what about your horses?"

Li Zhen said helplessly: "There is no way, I can only temporarily foster in the inn first, and then come back to pick it up after the turmoil subsides." ”

Yan Xiao shook his head, "It doesn't matter if there are other horses, but your red smoke and snow can't be kept in the inn, once it is handed over to the government by the inn, you can't get it back." ”

"What then? We have to leave tonight. ”

In fact, Li Zhen wanted Yan Xiao to stay and watch the horse, but the people in Wushun's mansion didn't know Yan Xiao and wouldn't arrest her, but he couldn't say this, he hoped that Yan Xiao would propose to stay.

Yan Xiao pondered for a long time, she took out a gold medal from her bag and handed it to Li Zhen, "Do you know it?"

Li Zhen took it and looked at it, only to see that the gold medal was simple in shape, engraved with exquisite sun and moon patterns, the front was a 'Wu' character, but the back was a 'Wei' character, he thought for a while and said: "Is this the gold medal of the Wei King Wu Chenghei?"

Yan Xiao nodded, "That's right, this is the gold medal of King Wu Chenghei of Wei, with it in hand, the world is unimpeded, the eight Wu generals used it to go out of the Chang'an City Gate at night, and when the eight people were killed, I was on the side, first grabbed this gold medal, and then won the relics." ”

Li Zhen understood what Yan Xiao meant, Yan Xiao wanted to use it to get out of Chang'an City, Li Zhen hesitated again and said, "But the eight generals of the Wu family have been killed, will the soldiers defending the city still let them go?"

"You don't understand this, Wu's gold medal, recognize the card and don't recognize the person, otherwise all the cities in the world will have to ask Wu Chenghe, what is the meaning of the gold medal?"

Li Zhen returned the gold medal to her and said with a smile: "Actually, I mean you stay tonight, and the three of us are waiting for you outside the city." ”

Yan Xiao snorted coldly, "Are you really confused or fake, the relics appeared in Wushun Mansion, will the people who chased me before let me go? Do you still think I can calmly leave the city tomorrow?"

Li Zhen is right to think about it, since Yan Xiao can't stay, they can only use the gold medal to go out of the city, whether they are dead or alive This time, he immediately said: "We are ready to go!"

Yan Xiao said, "Wait for me for a moment." ”

She ran to the next door, and after a while she came out, and the pretty Yan girl disappeared and became the handsome Yan Gongzi, she changed into men's clothes, put on a black hat, and her eyebrows were slightly thickened.

"How is it, is Xiaosheng like a scholar who went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination?" Yan Xiao asked in a thick voice.

Li Zhen laughed, "Yes, what a handsome white-faced young man." ”

"Lao Li, let's go!" Yan Xiao learned the name of Jiuzhi and went out first.

Jiuzhi and Xiao Xi rode together, Yan Xiao opened the road in front, Li Zhen followed, and the four of them rode towards the west gate, at this time the gate was not related, but the city gate was closed.

After a while, the four of them rushed to the Jinguang Gate, and Yan Xiao raised the gold medal and shouted: "Urgently out of the city!"

She can speak a pure Luoyang official dialect, this accent invisibly makes the soldiers guarding the city dare not be too lazy, a soldier ran down the city, took the gold medal and glanced at it, and hurriedly said: "Please wait!"

He ran back to the city, and at this time, a captain walked to the city wall, he was the officer on duty tonight, he took the gold medal and looked at it carefully, of course he knew, this was the gold medal of the King of Wei.

The captain glanced at the few people below again, and was silent in thought, in fact, what Yan Xiao said was not entirely correct.

'Wu's gold medal, recognize the card but don't recognize people' is good, but the fact that eight Wu family members will be killed will have a little impact in Chang'an.

The key is that the murderer who killed the eight Wu generals was Xue Huaiyi's person, and the news has already come out, and this captain has also heard about it.

Some things can't be taken too seriously, in case this involves the secret fight between Xue Huaiyi and Wu Chenghe, if he manages too much, won't he be involved, and at some point he needs to pretend to be confused.

The lieutenant handed the gold medal to the soldier and ordered: "Open the city!"

The gates creaked open, and the soldiers ran down, returned the gold medals, and said with a smile: "It's already okay, please get out of the city!"

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves faintly came from afar, Li Zhen's face changed slightly, his feet clamped the horse's belly, the war horse galloped out, and ran out of the city, Yan Xiao also followed Li Zhen, urging the horse to gallop, and the three horses rushed out of Chang'an City in an instant.

As soon as they left the city gates, a group of soldiers galloped in the distance, shouting from afar: "Close the city gates, no one is allowed to leave the city!"

The lieutenant was stunned, and he didn't know what was going on? After a while, the cavalry galloped over, holding up the arrow for the brigade commander and said: "Li Yuanjun has an order, the life of Wushun Mansion is a case, and no one is allowed to go out of the city at night!"

The lieutenant broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and then ran to the other side of the wall, and now that the people had rushed out of the city gate just now, he immediately came back and said with a smile: "I just tried the newly built city gate just now, and no one left the city." ”

After Li Zhen and the other four went out of the city, they turned south, quickly whipped their horses, and ran for more than 30 miles in one go, making sure that no one was chasing, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Zhen pointed to a farewell pavilion not far away with a horsewhip, and said to the three of them: "Go and rest for a while." ”

The crowd urged the horse to the pavilion, turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the outside of the pavilion, and sat down in the pavilion.

At this time, it was already two watches, the surroundings were extremely quiet, the official road was empty, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight.

Next to the small pavilion where they sit is a lotus pond, the summer has passed, the lotus flowers are all grateful, and there is a dead leaf and residual lotus floating on the water, which has a bit of autumn.

Everyone is silent, they are not actually going to rest, but to face the reality and choose where they should go?

After being silent for a long time, Li Zhen said to Jiuzhi: "Old fat, you take Xiaoxiao to Zhangye first, hide from the wind in Da Zhuang's house, and then you go back to Dunhuang." ”

"What about you?" asked Jiuzhi sullenly.

Li Zhen glanced at Yan Xiao and said, "I promised someone to do something for her." ”

At this time, Yan Xiao sighed and said, "Let's talk about that later! Now is not the time, you go and avoid the limelight first." ”

Li Zhen laughed, "I actually really want to go to Luoyang, but you have nothing to do with it, the reason why I mentioned you is just to do a personal favor by the way." ”

"You"

Yan Xiao was angry, "At this time, you still have the heart to joke." ”

At this time, Xiao Xi asked in a low voice: "Miss Yan, how severe is the consequences of Wu Shun's death?"

"How can I say that? This matter is not strict zhòng, after all, it is just a fake son, not Wu Chenghe's biological son, he has eight fake sons, and it is not surprising that one of them died.

However, Wu Shun's death is equivalent to a slap in the face to Wu Chengsi, the key is that he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, which is related to Wu Chengsi's face, so things have become strict again. ”

"It's none of our business, not the one we killed!" said Jiuzhi hatefully.

"But the problem is that they can't catch the real murderer, and they can't explain to the top, so they will naturally identify you, so the three of you have become the biggest suspects. ”

The four of them were silent again, Yan Xiao was right, for Chang'an officials, it doesn't matter who killed Wu Shun, but it is the key to give Wu Chengsi an explanation, if you can't find the real murderer, you will naturally take the three of them to the top of the tank.

Besides, when Wu Shun was killed, they happened to be there, and they fled overnight in fear of crime, no matter what, they couldn't escape suspicion.

Yan Xiao felt a little guilty in his heart, he obviously knew, but he forgot for a moment that they could actually avoid this matter, hey!

Yan Xiao glanced at Li Zhen and asked, "Why do you have to go to Luoyang?"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "My eldest sister is in Luoyang now, Lan Zhenyu knows my identity, I don't want to implicate my family, so I have to rush to Luoyang." ”

Jiuzhi's face turned white, so what about his family? Will he also be implicated? He was nervous in his heart, and his voice changed, "Lao Li, what should my parents do?"

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, Dunhuang is too far away, and we can't get there for a while, and besides, we are not cornered, I still have one last way to save my life." ”

"What's the best way to save your life?" the three of them asked in unison.

Li Zhen took out a jade pendant from his arms and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten this?"
