Sugawara Michima saw that the night was dark, and he was about to say goodbye to Xu Zhi and the others and go back to his guest room to rest. At this time, there were bursts of horses' hooves and the noise of soldiers outside Juxian Tower.

Xu Zhi opened the window of the inn, poked his head out to investigate, and saw Zhu Wen and Li Zhen riding war horses, holding swords, and commanding a group of soldiers to surround Juxian Tower.

The shopkeeper of the hotel stepped forward tremblingly and replied: "I don't know what the two generals are doing when they come to the shop late at night?"

Zhu Wen didn't speak, but waved his hand at Li Zhen beside him, Li Zhen asked: "We are the Qincha under the Yellow King, someone reported that 5 Fusang ronins pretended to be Tang envoys, and after failing the competition, they were angry and corrupted, and they kidnapped Princess Yuanzhi, and they lived in your restaurant!"

The shopkeeper said: "The two lords of the Qincha, the villain has been in the store today, and I haven't seen the Fusang people, nor the princess, so it can't be a competitor in the small shop's business who slanders the villain, right?"

Li Zhen stepped forward and slapped the shopkeeper in a loud slap, and scolded: "Ben Qin sent you to ask you something, but you pushed it all out, Ben Qin sent you to see that you didn't see the coffin and didn't cry, come on, let the guys from Juxian Lou come forward to confront you!"

A guy looked embarrassed, and stepped forward and replied: "Back to Qincha, the villain saw with his own eyes that 5 ronins from Fusang followed a beautiful woman to stay in our hotel, the villain really didn't know that the girl was actually Her Royal Highness the princess of the Yellow King, otherwise the villain would have reported to the official a long time ago, and asked the two Qincha lords to forgive their sins!"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and shouted repeatedly: "The villain did not deliberately deceive the two adults, there were indeed 5 Dongying warriors living in the shop, but they did not hold the princess hostage when they came, they lived in the hotel together, just like friends who have known each other for a long time." ”

Li Zhen frowned slightly when he saw Zhu Wen, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take down the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower, punish him for collaborating with the enemy, and immediately behead him on the spot!"

Sugawara Michizane saw that Zhu Wen and Li Zhen not only slandered themselves for holding Princess Huangchao hostage, but also innocently killed the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and he couldn't hold it anymore, he turned to Fujihara and said to the four people: "You stay in the inn for the time being, let me go and meet that Zhu Wen for a while!", after speaking, he turned over from the window of the restaurant and jumped straight in front of Zhu Wen, Li Zhen and others.

Zhu Wen's soldiers saw a dark figure jumping down from the restaurant, shouting, "There is an assassin! Hurry up and protect your lord!" while holding swords to guard Zhu Wen and Li Zhen in the middle.

Sugawara Michizane ignored those guards, but saluted Zhu Wen and Li Zhen, and persuaded: "The two lords of the Qincha, please be merciful, this matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper of Juxian Tower, and please raise your noble hands and let him go!"

Li Zhen saw that Zhu Wen neither accosted nor returned the salute, so he had to order the shopkeeper to be beheaded on the spot again. An executioner had to order him to come over, took out his waist knife and waved it, and the shopkeeper didn't even snort, and his head was in a different place. When the onlookers saw this, they were all shocked.

Sugawara Michizane saw that Zhu Wen didn't give himself face, let go of the shopkeeper of Juxian Building, and didn't know how to advance or retreat for a while.

Zhu Wen sneered after a long while: "You Fusang ronins are so bold, you dare to pretend to be the envoy of the Dongying Kingdom, deceive His Majesty the Yellow King, kill my General Zhang, rob the West City Law Field, set up a ring competition, and vainly try to provoke disputes between China and Japan. Hurry up and invite the princess out, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!", the onlookers listened, and they all accused the Dongying people of not being right.

Sugawara Michizane saluted Zhu Wen and replied: "Lord Zhu, you have misunderstood! We have sent an envoy to your country this time, although we did not bring an envoy's edict, but we also received the dictation of the emperor of our country, after we go back to restore our lives, our country will send an official envoy to your country, we are not used to seeing you abuse and kill innocent people, set up a ring competition, and also play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and sword with the capable people and righteous people of your country, as for what you said that we hold Princess Yuanzhi hostage is even more nonsense......

Before Sugawara Michizane finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhen: "Sugawara Michizane, you are really good at quibbling, if you are an official envoy to the Tang Dynasty, why don't you have an official certificate?

Sugawara Michizane replied: "We followed the princess and Xu Zhi because we admired Princess Yuanzhi's beauty and talent, and even more appreciated Xu Zhi's martial arts and personality, so we wanted to make friends with them." If you don't believe it, the princess and Xu Zhi are in the inn, you can ask them in person, won't the truth be revealed?", the people around listened and nodded yes.

Zhou Yuanzhi listened upstairs, and replied loudly: "Sugawara envoy is right, I am Zhou Yuanzhi, the princess of the Yellow King, we and the Dongying envoy came to Juxian Tower together, as for me and Brother Xu being held hostage by the envoy of Dongyingguo, these are all lies made up by Zhu Wen and Li Zhen, I hope the soldiers and the people will not believe their nonsense!", leaned out of the window after speaking.

Among the onlookers who had seen Zhou Yuanzhi, they all cheered each other: "The restaurant is indeed the princess of the Yellow King, when the rebels entered the city from the Chunming Gate, we saw her with our own eyes!", after speaking, they saluted Zhou Yuanzhi, and Zhou Yuanzhi also returned the salute to the people.

Sugawara Michizane said: "The two Qincha have seen it, but the upstairs is Princess Yuanzhi, isn't she good, and how can she be held hostage by us?"

Li Zhen saw that the girl upstairs was Zhou Yuanzhi, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to turn back to Zhu Wen for help, Zhu Wen was silent for a while, and said loudly: "All the soldiers have seen clearly, which one of the dignified princesses on this floor is the dignified Princess Yuanzhi, but the top Cuicui girl of Wanxianglou in Chang'an! Come on, quickly call Wanxianglou's mother to recognize it?", after speaking, he glanced at a deputy general beside him. The lieutenant nodded, and took a few of his own soldiers to Wanxianglou.

Zhou Yuanzhi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Wen's gourd, so she turned her head and looked at Xu Zhi suspiciously. Xu Zhi comforted softly: "Yuan Zhi, let's wait and see what tricks this Zhu Wen can conjure!"

After a while, a middle-aged old woman dressed in bright makeup staggered in front of Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen asked, "Are you the bustard mother of Wanxianglou?"

The mother replied in a trembling voice: "Lord Yuqincha, the old body is exact, I don't know what the general is doing when the old body comes?"

Zhu Wen shouted: "You came back and asked Ben Qincha, didn't the messenger who passed on you make it clear?"

The mother hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Lord Qincha is above, if you don't come to find the old body, the old body will come to beat the drum and voice the grievances to the adult!"

Zhu Wenqi said: "This is strange, you are an old mother, what grievances do you have?"

The mother replied, "This evening, we came to Wanxiang Mansion with 5 Dongying samurai, and the leader is this general", and after speaking, he pointed to Sugawara Michizane in front of him.

Sugawara Michizane glared and asked, "Mom, I didn't go to your Wanxiang Building, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The mother replied in an affirmative tone: "Lord Yuqincha, the old body will not be mistaken, there are not many Dongying people who come to our Wanxiang Building, not to mention that as soon as they enter the door, they took out 100 taels of gold, named our family's top Cuicui girl and several other girls, and took them to Juxian Mansion for the night." The old body saw that these Dongying people were generous, but they were also willing, so they let them take the girl, how do you know that their deposit is fake, it is all brass, and the old body is about to come to Juxian Tower to ask them for money?"

After the mother finished speaking, she shouted upstairs again: "Miss Cuicui, you should go back to Wanxianglou with your mother! These Fusang ronins are all destitute and hypocritical, and you will suffer if you follow them." ”

The mother screamed a few times, and when she saw that no one paid attention to her, she simply fell to the ground and cried, "The two Qincha lords want to make decisions for the old man, it must be these Dongying people who want to empty their gloves and white wolves and take our Cuicui girl to Dongying Kingdom!"

Sugawara Michizan really saw that mother was spilling, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "You, you are actually spewing blood, reversing black and white!", at this time, the people were also discussing, some firmly believed that the girl upstairs was a princess, and some began to believe in Zhu Wen and the bustard's mother, only Zhu Wen and the deputy general smiled proudly.

It turned out that before the deputy general went to Wanxianglou, he understood Zhu Wen's intentions, and he asked the bustard's mother to act in this good show of "losing her daughter and being cheated of silver" according to her own ideas, but she just hid it from the soldiers and the people.

Zhu Wen saw that Sugawara Daozhen was silent, and ordered in a loud voice: "All the soldiers listen to the order, since there is Wanxianglou's mother as a witness, the girl in this Juxian Mansion must be the Cuicui girl who was kidnapped by the Dongying people, and Princess Yuanzhi must not be among them?

Sugawara Michizane asked rhetorically: "General Zhu, you are too good at making your own decisions, right? If Princess Yuan Zhi is really in this Gathering Immortal Tower, how will you face the princess and the Yellow King in the future?"

Li Zhen sneered: "Sugawara envoy, you don't have to worry about this, if Princess Yuanzhi was really in the building, she would have come out a long time ago and punished us! The princess has been hiding in the Juxian Building and not coming out, it is enough to prove that the princess upstairs is a fake, and it must be the Cuicui girl you are holding hostage!"

Zhu Wen also nodded and said, "Li Zhen, what you said is reasonable, then don't you send someone to encircle and suppress the thieves upstairs?" After speaking, Li Zhen rushed upstairs with a group of soldiers.

Sugawara Michizane saw that Zhu and Li were unreasonable, so he had to pull out his scimitar and block the way out of Li Zhen and others.

When Li Zhen saw it, he said angrily: "The archers are ready, someone will take Sugawara Michizane, if there is resistance, kill him!"

Without waiting for the soldier to get closer, Sugawara raised his sword and slashed at it, knocking off the spear in one soldier's hand, and he took it and threw it with all his might, and the spear went through one soldier's chest and stabbed another soldier behind him. The group of soldiers with bows and arrows retreated, forgetting to shoot their arrows for a moment. Sugawara Michizane came straight to Zhu Wen with a knife.

Zhu Wen saw that Sugawara Michizane was red-eyed, and he retreated again and again, shouting: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, shoot this Dongying slave!" The archers behind him finally suppressed the formation, bent their bows and arrows, and shot towards Sugawara Michizane.

Sugawara Michiko really saw ten thousand arrows shooting towards him, and he no longer dared to risk himself, so he used a golden escape technique, took off a shirt from his body, and threw it high in the air. It turns out that Sugawara Michizane's shirt contains magnets, which have an attractive effect on iron arrows.

Sugawara Michijin saw that Zhu Wen and all the soldiers were curiously looking at the clothes full of arrow feathers in the air, took out a rope from his body, and made a wooden escape technique, with the help of the swing of the rope, flew and jumped on a willow tree, and disappeared in front of Zhu Wen and the others in an instant.

Although Zhu Wen had seen the Five Elements Escape Technique of the Dongying people, he saw that Sugawara Daozhen's figure was like a ghost and ghost, and suddenly disappeared from his side, and he was frightened, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Someone, hurry up and escort!", several guards listened and quickly surrounded Zhu Wen and Li Zhen in the middle.

Li Zhen asked, "Master Zhu, this Dongying ronin has disappeared without a trace with this ghostly demonic technique, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Wen twisted his beard and said with a smile: "No matter how stealthy he is, he can run away from the monk, but he can't run away from the temple! The soldiers listened to the order and set fire to the Juxian Tower, and Ben Qin will bake these Dongying clowns into meat patties tonight!"

After the soldiers got the order, they took firewood one after another, surrounded the Juxian Building, and the archers also shot rockets upstairs, and suddenly a fire broke out, and the men and guests in the Juxian Building fled outward, and the guests led by them just escaped from the gate, and were shot and killed by the soldiers outside the door one by one. The guests had no choice but to pass through the smoke and turn back to the inn against the flames.

Besides, Sugawara Michizane used the Five Elements Escape Technique to return to Juxian Tower, and saw that the fire was everywhere downstairs, and the voices were boiling, and there was chaos, so he hurriedly went upstairs to discuss with Xu Zhi and others.

Sugawara Michizane said: "Now that Zhu Wen is burning the Juxian Building with fire, this fire will soon burn upstairs, and we have to try to get out of this Juxian Tower!"

Before Sugawara Michizane's words were finished, Yuan Zhen shouted: "All of us know martial arts, so there should be no problem in taking advantage of the chaos to fight out of the encirclement!"

He Mengjiao said to Xu Zhi: "It should be no problem for a few of us to break through, but Li Cunxiao and Xue Aniu have not fully recovered, and it will be difficult to break out of the trap set by Zhu Wen and Li Zhen!"

Fujihara Hiroshi also nodded and said, "What Miss He is worried about is that we have to try to make Li Cunxiao and them leave safely!"

At this time, Li Zhen's hoarse voice came from outside the Juxian Tower: "Listen to the Japanese slaves and rebels in the Juxian Tower, you don't want the innocent people to be buried with you, so hurry up and come out and arrest them, otherwise you will be broken off in the Juxian Tower!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the fire downstairs had spread to the upper floor, and the smoke was billowing in the entire guest room, and said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, what are we going to do?

Xu Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Now the situation is urgent, this Juxian Tower will soon collapse after being fired, we can't sit still, we must fight our way out of the encirclement as soon as possible and leave this Chang'an!"

Xu Zhi saw that everyone was looking at him, and continued: "I can break through with Li Cunxiao on my back, but Xue Atan, Anger, and Idiot are ......", after speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao with helpless eyes.

Before Xu Zhi's words were finished, Fujihara Harahiro said: "Xu Shaoxia don't have to worry, we are all brothers who share weal and evil, Xue Atan on the lower back, Lord Sugawara, you have brought two people with anger and idiocy to break through, Miss Zhou and Miss He just need to take care of themselves, so the problem will be solved!"

Sugawara Michizan really heard this, and applauded repeatedly, but he was not without worry: "It's just that all of us are carrying patients on our backs, and we can't use our hands and feet, how can we break out of the net laid by Zhu Wen?"

Yuan Hui thought for a while and suggested, "Now why don't we use the fire and smoke in the inn as a cover, and use the earth escape method to dig a tunnel to escape from Zhu Wen's encirclement. ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard Yuan Hui's words, and Sugawara Michizane also nodded: "This idea is good, but it is still very difficult for us to excavate a tunnel of hundreds of steps in the time of one or two pillars of incense!"

Yuan Hui said with a smile: "Lord Sugawara, my subordinates have taken a closer look, this Juxian Tower is close to the Duyun Lake in Chang'an West City, and there are no people's residences to the west, nor are there officers and soldiers, they are all some shrubs and willow forests, so we only need to dig a tunnel to the west, and we can reach the bushes by the Duyun Lake in less than a hundred steps, and stand out from the encirclement." After speaking, he pointed to the bush not far away through the window.

Everyone followed the direction pointed by Yuan Hui and saw that what he said was true. Sugawara Michizane shouted: "Fujiwara, Yuanzhen, Yuantong, Yuanhui, you follow me into the underground and excavate the tunnel! Xu Shaoxia, Miss Zhou, Miss He, you take care of the four patients first, and do our cover!", everyone listened and made a promise.
