A man rushed out of the door and threw himself on the body of the man who fell to the ground, raised the short knife in his hand and plunged it into the opponent's chest, and the man died before he could even scream.

Tang Zixi, who was cowering in the corner, was pounding, not knowing what was happening outside.

The grim-looking man pulled the dagger out of his companion and sneered: "Just because you want to sneak attack Lao Tzu?" After speaking, he kicked the corpse downstairs, looked left and right, and quickly turned to leave.

Tang Zixi listened attentively to the movement outside, and when the man's footsteps came down the stairs, he quickly got up from his hiding place, walked to the door and opened the door.

As soon as Fang opened the door, there was a smell of blood, and she couldn't help frowning. However, the desire to escape made her forget her fear for a moment, and carefully avoided the pieces of wood on the ground and trotted towards the staircase.

"Fence up, don't let them run!"

As soon as she ran out of the gate, a commotion came from afar, and it sounded like there were quite a few people, and she hurriedly retreated back to the door.

On the street not far away, a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded the two people, led by a young general, who was loudly directing everyone to outflank them.

Hearing that the other party was not coming at her, Tang Zixi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, carefully poked out half of his head from the empty gate, and secretly observed the situation outside.

By the light of the torches, she recognized at a glance the tall man who was surrounded in the middle, Jiang Tianxiao, who had a relationship with him in the mausoleum, she remembered that he was a particularly handsome man at that time, how he had become a little beggar now.

"Brother Jiang, you don't have to worry about me, you can leave first when you find an opportunity!" Although the little beggar is young, his bearing is not lost, seeing that the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, so he made a decisive decision.

Jiang Tianxiao's eyes were firmly fixed on the soldiers who were approaching step by step, and refused: "No, you risked your life to save me before, how could I abandon you." ”

It turned out that when You Muhua pinched Jiang Tianxiao's throat bone before, the little beggar Zhanjie suddenly went and returned, followed by a group of heavily armed soldiers. Jiang Tianxiao knew that Zhanjie turned around and ran away without hesitation, it turned out that he was going to lure the patrol. It's just that although this move forced back the tiger You Muhua, it made them fall into the wolf pack again. Moreover, the group of soldiers lured by Zhanjie were still the personal guards of the Ten Princes, and each of them had extraordinary combat effectiveness, which made it even more difficult for the two to escape.

Zhanjie said impatiently: "It's time for this time, don't be a mother-in-law." As long as you can send my younger brothers and sisters to Qingzhou safely, what is my Zhanjie's cheap life. And I'm just an insignificant beggar, and even if I fall into their hands, I won't necessarily die. You're a fugitive with a wanted warrant, how can you compare yourself to me. ”

Hearing his words, Jiang Tianxiao suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but at this moment, he really couldn't laugh, and said: "You're right, Jiang is a wanted criminal, and it is natural to be caught." I'll hold them back, you go quickly! If you don't go, it's really too late!"

Zhan Jie categorically vetoed: "No! you go, I'll drag them down!"

"None of you can leave today!"

An old voice came, and then a lean figure appeared on the ridge of the roof, it was Fan Qingyang Fan, the steward of the Ten Princes' Mansion.

He stared coldly at the two people in the circle and said, "The courage is not small, the people who dare to kill me, do you think that your life is long?"

Zhan Jie stepped forward and said, "We didn't kill those people, we just happened to see them." ”

"Where did the bedbugs come from, they also deserve to talk to the old man!" Fan Qingyang glanced at him contemptuously, his eyes turned to Jiang Tianxiao and said, "Who is so bold in my Dao, it turns out to be Jiang Zhutou." You're so lucky that you're alive until now. ”

"Hong Fu, who is in charge of affairs, Jiang is still alive. Jiang Tianxiao grabbed Zhan Jie, who was angry, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Now that this one has appeared, neither of them can really leave. Instead of waging your tail and begging for mercy, it is better to die with dignity.

Fan Qingyang said with a smile: "You poisoned Nie to catch the head in the front, and killed the jailer in the back, and now you have the audacity to kill the old man." The old man is really curious, who lent you the guts?"

"It turned out that Steward Fan wanted to avenge a few subordinates. Jiang Tianxiao slowly raised the long sword in his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's make a move!"

Fan Qingyang shook his head and said, "You don't need the old man to do it yet!

As soon as the young general waved his hand, the group of soldiers immediately rushed towards the two.

Jiang Tianxiao's expression was solemn, and he didn't dare to underestimate these soldiers at all. These people are not those people in the Yamen, not only are they well-trained and tacitly cooperative, but everyone's martial arts are not weak. It's right to think about it, being able to be the prince's personal guard is naturally not an ordinary general, so it is impossible for the two of them to escape in a short time. Since he couldn't escape, Jiang Tianxiao simply didn't make that plan, but concentrated on coping with it.

At the same time, he must always be vigilant against Fan Qingyang. Although he has not dealt with this Fan steward, he has heard a lot of his name, and he does not dare to take it lightly.

Fortunately, although Xiao Zhanjie's martial arts skills are not high, his skills are very flexible, and the person who those soldiers want to arrest is Jiang Tianxiao, so the attack on him is naturally much weaker, and there is no problem with temporary self-preservation. This made Jiang Tianxiao feel a lot more relieved.

However, the good times did not last long, Jiang Tianxiao, who had already been injured, gradually felt physically exhausted, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for him to be slashed in the thigh by the young general who saw the opportunity, and the blood flowed like a stream for a while.

At this moment, Zhanjie was finally kicked over, and several steel knives were placed on his neck.

Jiang Tianxiao wanted to go over to save him, but as soon as he took a step, he felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook and he was about to fall. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the soldiers immediately rushed up.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof next to him, and when he saw this, his palms moved together, and he slapped several palms at the crowd.

Although these soldiers are not weak in martial arts, they are not as good as real masters of the rivers and lakes, and a few people were immediately stunned on the spot by this strong palm power.

The long rope in the hand of the person who came flew out, grabbed Jiang Tianxiao's arm and flew away with him.

"You dare!" Fan Qingyang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was furious and immediately flew after him.

Unbeknownst to him, his body moved, and a feathered arrow whizzed from the side, heading straight for his chest.

Fan Qingyang was taken aback, and turned around in a hurry to avoid the crisis of piercing his chest, and the feather arrow flew past his arm, bringing up a string of blood beads, and he couldn't help but be angry: "Who is plotting against the old man?"

The unfinished castration feather arrow thud on the gate of Mingyue Tower, scaring Tang Zixi, who was probing his brain, half to death, hurriedly retracted his head, where did he dare to look again.

When she retracted her head, she naturally didn't see the familiar masked figure that appeared on the ridge of the roof, but she hurriedly ran towards the side door in the other direction of the lobby, and soon disappeared.

"The old man should have thought of it a long time ago!" Fan Qingyang suddenly realized when he saw that it was him, "This Jiang Tianxiao is so bold and reckless, there must be a master behind it, but I didn't expect it to be you, Master Su!"

The person who came was Su Jing, he glanced at Fan Qingyang, and said lightly: "Yes, he is indeed my person now!

Fan Qingyang laughed angrily when he heard this, and said: "The old man is now arresting criminals for the imperial court, and Lord Su, as an official of the imperial court, not only did not help, but sent someone to rescue the criminals. The old man wants to see how you explain to the prince!"

"Don't worry about the housekeeper, Su will explain to the prince! Manager Fan should take care of himself first!" Su Jing turned around and flew away after speaking, without the slightest intention of talking nonsense to him.

Fan Qingyang looked at the direction in which Su Jing left, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Steward, are you still chasing?" the young general asked cautiously.

"Chase a fart!" Fan Qingyang suddenly burst into a foul language, slapped the young general's face hard, and said angrily, "Useless things, you can't catch two people." What do you want?"

The young general's face was suddenly full of grievances, and he said, "You ordered us to catch it alive." ”

Fan Qingyang stared at him coldly and said, "You mean the old man's mistake?"

"The last general doesn't dare!" said the young general hurriedly bowed his head.

Here, Tang Zixi had already run a few streets in one go, but fortunately, he didn't encounter a patrol all the way. It wasn't until she saw the tall city gate in the distance that she slipped into a dark rumbling alley, leaning against the wall and panting.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the city gate would open in less than half an hour, so she decided to escape as soon as the city gate opened, and then ran in the direction of Luoyang without looking back.

However, it didn't take long for her to discover the problem. Now she is already a prisoner of the imperial court, if she rushes up like this, wouldn't she be in the net, and the way to Luoyang is far away, if she relies only on her two legs, I am afraid that she will not be able to go back for three or five or seven years, so she must think of a way to do both.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: if she remembered correctly, she seemed to hear the neighing of horses in an alley she had just run.

So she walked back the way she came, listening as she went.

Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the second alley, she heard the friendly neighing of horses, and there was more than one horse.

Tang Zixi was overjoyed, glanced around, touched the side of the courtyard wall, grabbed the protruding masonry and climbed up flexibly.

As soon as Fang jumped into the courtyard wall, she shouted in her heart. At a glance, he fell in love with a maroon horse, and went to untie the reins. But I don't know what's going on, the reins seem to be tied so tightly that she didn't untie them for a long time, but instead tired her and sweated profusely. In desperation, she bit down on the reins and tried to break them.

"Sir, the carriage is ready and ready to go. ”

"Okay, go and ask the ladies to come out. ”

Suddenly, a voice was heard not far away.

Tang Zixi secretly said bad when he heard this, and he didn't care about fighting with the reins anymore, so he was anxious to look around for a place to hide.

Because she was too focused before, the other party was actually very close when she heard the voice, and it was obviously too late to climb the wall and escape now. But this large courtyard was empty, except for a few horses and a carriage, not to mention some large stones, not even a single plant or tree.

The footsteps had already reached the door, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she got into the only carriage next to her, squatting in it and not daring to come out.
