Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rescue
The three of them were at a loss, staying in the inn and sighing, and at night they suddenly heard someone knocking on the window, Li Chongyuan whispered: "Who!?"
The man whispered in a half-baked official dialect: "Isn't Your Excellency trying to save the prince? Why don't you come with me!"
Li Chongyuan turned around and said, "You guys are waiting for me here!" After that, he picked up his long sword and jumped out of the window. Under the moonlight, there was a short and sturdy man in a black suit who was running wildly into the distance, and immediately used the shadowless light skill in front of the lamp to run away, although the man in black was extremely fast, but it was not the light skill of any sect, just relying on the strength of his muscles and bones.
Seeing that he could catch up with him only a few feet away, he saw that the man was suddenly short and disappeared.
In the strange room, I saw that the man suddenly appeared on the official road outside the middle of the year, and immediately caught up with him before thinking about it, and after a while, he was about to catch up, and the man suddenly disappeared, and Shaoqing appeared more than a mile away, Li Chongyuan was surprised, what kind of kung fu is this?
Neither the light skills of the rivers and lakes nor the body method that I had seen that day from the Qimen Dunjia, how could I have never seen it before, and I had never even heard of it.
But he didn't have time to think about it and still chased after him, the man in black flickered more than a dozen times, and he had already rushed to the outskirts of Chang'an.
In the distance, a ruined temple looms in front of the night, the plaque on the mountain gate is mottled with paint, and the words Jialan Temple are faintly recognizable.
The man suddenly stood still and shouted, "Your Excellency, the person you are looking for is imprisoned in this monastery, not in prison, if you want to save him, please come here tomorrow and lead your subordinates to help." ”
Li Chongyuan shouted: "Who are you, and why do you know our purpose?"
The man smiled and said: "Your Excellency has been in the Weiwang Mansion for many days, and the prince only left before the incident, as soon as you entered Chang'an yesterday, our eyes have been eyed, and we know that you are the prince's junior brother." I will definitely not sit idly by, so I took the risk to ask you to see you, and there is no malice in the following, if it is not so, I just need to inform the guards and yamen, why bother so much?"
Li Chongyuan said: "Who are you from the prince, and why did you save each other?"
The man said: "It's only because my master has an old relationship with the prince that he will help." Don't ask too much, don't leave it at that. ”
With that, the man turned and ran quickly. Looking at the back of the man, Li Chongyuan suddenly had an epiphany, the original man was short and strong, but now this person is thin and tall, he only said that the person was weird, but he didn't want to secretly change people halfway, thinking that they had already dug a dirt pit and a dark hole on the road, and whenever they were about to be caught up, they hid in the dirt pit and dark hole. The accomplices in the distance jumped out and ran wildly. Eventually lead yourself to Jialan Temple.
When they returned to the inn, Lin Qingli and Lan Wutong had been waiting anxiously. Li Chongyuan briefly explained the situation.
Lin Qingli and Lan Wutong hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "That person may really want to help us, or maybe he has another purpose, the matter has come to this, we have to put aside our doubts and concentrate on saving people, but we are careful in everything, and we should not take those people lightly." On the second day, the three of them ate and slept to their heart's content. But wait for the night to save people and fight.
At night, the three of them packed up. Tie up the weapons and treasure bags close to the body, the three of them glanced at each other, Li Chongyuan knew that tonight's trip was extremely dangerous, maybe he would die on the spot, he and Lin Qingli took the risk to be a senior brother, but Lan Wutong had nothing to do with the Tianshan faction. But he also had to take risks, and suddenly felt inexplicably moved.
Just about to say something, Lan Wutong smiled: "What do big men do, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you save people to do your friendship, but I can't save people but I can't see that you are in danger and do nothing." Don't say anything. Let's go. The three of them performed light skills and ran all the way, and after half an hour, they came to the left side of Jialan Temple. Li Chongyuan was surprised to find that Lin Qingli's internal skills were so diligent, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a thousand miles a day.
Lin Qingli's martial arts turned out to be the weakest among the three, and now it is far better than Lan Wutong, only slightly inferior to herself, when she visited the palace day and night, she had a little skill, Li Chongyuan was greatly surprised at that time, and now it seems that Lin Qingli did not exert all his strength that night, but now that the war is imminent, Li Chongyuan can't care about asking, no matter how Lin Qingli is skilled, it is always a good thing.
The three of them quietly jumped on the roof of the main hall of Jialan Temple, although the interior of the temple has been renovated, the weeds and trees have been cut down, but it is still difficult to hide the silk scene, the sash of the monk's house and Buddha hall has fallen off, the door frame is crooked, the wind blows, making a squeaky and squeaky sound, and it sounds very terrible in the middle of the night.
Footsteps were heard, and a pair of soldiers walked through the courtyard with spears in hand. Seeing that the man in black had not yet appeared when he was approaching, Li Chongyuan secretly decided to wait a little longer and rush down to save people.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a soft sound of tiles, and when I looked back, I saw that the short man in black was jumping onto the top of the hall, and the man arched his hand and whispered: "Your Excellency is really punctual, and you have already arranged for help, and we will blow up the prison of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later, and Your Excellency will save people."
Our people will entangle the guards and soldiers, as for the rest of the masters, you have to dispose of it yourself, we have prepared a fast horse for you in the south of the Jialan Temple, with the explosion as a signal, we will fight a stick of incense and evacuate, your Excellency must not delay.
After rescuing people, you can rush south to Luoying Mountain in Yanxian County, we have arranged ropes on the cliff, and there are horses under the cliff to respond, everyone take care!"
Just as the man had just jumped down, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion, and nearly a hundred men in black rushed into the temple from the wall like ghosts, and they didn't even see where they were hiding before.
The soldiers who were stationed in various parts of the monastery rushed over when they heard the sound and killed the men in black, although the soldiers were extremely fierce, but these men in black were in a sword formation every twelve people, and the advance and retreat were very orderly, and the long knives in their hands were more than a foot longer than the big knives in the hands of the soldiers.
Li Chongyuan knew that there was no further ado, and immediately jumped to the explosion site, where the fire was still there, and it was not difficult to find it in the dark, and he jumped over a few houses to come here.
Seeing that there was a person lying on the ground with limbs and not knowing whether he was alive or dead in the prison cell that was overturned by the explosion and gas waves, he secretly complained in his heart: "It's not that these black-clothed people don't know how high and low, and they also blew up the senior brother to death, right?"
As soon as he jumped off the roof, before his feet hit the ground, he felt the strong wind behind him, and immediately dodged his body with a move of "returning to the wind and turning his breath", and a very heavy Zen staff passed by, and at the same time someone shouted: "Evil obstacles!
Li Chongyuan couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "This person is so shameless, obviously he was in front of the sneak attack, and he shouted loudly when he saw that the sneak attack failed." ”
When he turned around, he saw that the man was a bald monk in a robe, and he was about to draw his sword and step forward, when Lin Qingli ran over and stopped: "Brother Chongyuan's rescue is important, and this bald donkey will be handed over to me." Li Chongyuan nodded and ran to the prison cell.
There were dozens of ironclad guards waiting for them near the prison building, and compared to the chaotic soldiers in front of them, these people were obviously well-trained, and they were unmoved even if they shouted to kill Shaking Heaven in front.
I saw them kneeling on one leg in front of them, holding a heavy shield in one hand and a single knife in the other, the tip of the knife pointed forward, and the people behind put the long lance on the shoulders of the people in front, and the whole team was like a hedgehog.
He groaned slightly, then luck Shura Gong, one palm split the air slapped at the front person, he is now extremely strong, the power contained in this move split the empty palm is extremely terrifying, the front few people immediately spurted blood in their mouths and fell to the ground, even the iron armor on the body was deeply dented.
The rest of the people were frightened but not flustered, and the people on both sides immediately stepped forward to fill the gaps of the dead. The entire phalanx remained untouched. Li Chongyuan couldn't help but hesitate, if he used a splitting palm to slash the past, and so on all these people were shocked to death, it would not only take time but also consume internal strength, in case another master would inevitably be taken advantage of.
Lan Wutong jumped down from the top of the hall and shouted: "These people are handed over to me, you go and save people!" Without waiting for Li Chongyuan to speak, he took out a large handful of black medicinal powder from the treasure bag and looked at the ironclad soldiers to scatter it. Those people didn't feel anything at first.
After a while, his face changed greatly, and he could bear it at first, and after a while, he couldn't help but howl loudly, and finally someone couldn't help but take the lead in dropping the lance, taking off the iron armor and scratching on the body, this action seemed to be an infectious disease, everyone went crazy, and they took off the iron armor and howled and rolled on the ground, scratching themselves with their nails.
Lan Wutong said with a smile: "This medicinal powder dissolves when it meets water, hurry up and take a bath in the back ditch and it's fine!" Hearing this, the ironclad soldier immediately struggled from the ground, desperately jumped into the ditch, and scrubbed his body vigorously with water.
Lin Qingli glanced at the monk a few times, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Master Yuanhui, don't come to harm?" It turned out that this monk was Yuan Hui, the host of the Guizhou Demon Suppression Temple who came to Zhu Shitian's Mansion to help the fist.
That day, the ghost sword Han Qinghua and the white snake joined forces to fight, he left nine disciples to escape from Hengyang alone, as the teacher, but put the disciples under the enemy's knife, only to flee for his own life, it is already a taboo in the rivers and lakes, he has no shame to return to Guizhou Demon Temple, and has since disappeared in the rivers and lakes.
Yuan Hui looked at Lin Qingli carefully, her face changed greatly, and she exclaimed, "You...... Are you Xu Qianfan's disciple, Lin Qingli?"
Lin Qingli smiled and said: "Master has a good memory, back then we all thought that your old man suffered such a great humiliation, and he had no shame to see the world, so he must have found a place where no one was left to cut it off, who knew that you actually became a court eagle dog, and lived a good life, and now it seems that we are exalting you!"
There was originally a young man behind Yuanhui, who was running from a distance to think that Yuanhui was helping him, and when he heard Lin Qingli's name, he immediately stopped, stood in the distance and looked at it a few times, and turned around and ran away.
Lin Qingli vaguely felt that the person was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had seen it, and the current enemy couldn't allow her to be distracted and think about it. (To be continued......)
