Chapter 161: Collusion 2
Suddenly, a post official came to report: "Therefore, Hanlin served Song Zhi and asked to see him." "The Hanlin Edict is not a big official, and he is nothing more than accompanying the emperor to play chess and chant poetry on weekdays, but such a position is indeed unique, after all, he is a person who wanders around in front of the emperor every day.
Therefore, Iron Scale didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately put on his clothes and went out to greet him.
When Song Zhiwen explained his intentions, Tie Liang was surprised and delighted, and he thought vigorously in his heart. He just wanted to make meritorious service and win the grace of God, but this great merit came to him in a blink of an eye. It was as if he saw boundless wealth rushing to the sky.
Since ancient times, the emperor has paid the most attention to the righteousness, when Li Chongjun cheated to death, he has been posthumously scolded by the prince, and now he has appeared again, what should the current emperor do? You must know that Li Chongjun was the person who was made the prince during the Zhongzong period.
The time is much earlier than the time when Li Longji became the crown prince, if Li Chongjun's life history is made public, Li Longji's reputation will be shaken, which is intolerable to any emperor, of course, if he presents the emperor in person,
The emperor thought of the deep brotherhood, and it was not easy to make it clear that he would eradicate Li Chongjun, but if Li Chongjun was killed by Iron Scale, and then found a suitable opportunity to inform the emperor afterwards, then Li Longji would not care what he did on the surface,
The heart must be happy, since the emperor is happy, then wait for the emperor's grace. Iron Scale thought so, Song Zhiwen thought so, they thought that Li Longji would think the same way. Therefore, they can't wait to start.
Iron Scale has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his scheming is much deeper than Song Zhi's, he knows that this matter must not be done in the capital, and it is better to wait until he is far away from the capital, and then suddenly make trouble, so he just sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Zilan and his party.
It is said that Zilan and the others wandered around Chang'an for a day during the day, and they were tired in the evening, and after dinner, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
Just arrived at the door. Ah Pan suddenly smiled and said, "Zilan, I'm a little uncomfortable, you go back to the room, I'll go around the neighborhood by myself and come back soon." ”
Zilan asked with concern: "Ah Pan, what's wrong with you, do you want me to accompany you?" Ah Pan said: "It's just a walk around." If you don't go far, don't accompany me. Then he turned around and went out. A moment later, Ah Pan came back again,
Zi Lanqi said: "Why is it so fast." Ah Pan smiled: "I felt uncomfortable just now, but I felt okay as soon as I went out, so I came back." With that, he grinned and went back to his room.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Ji Wuce waved goodbye and led Du Xin, Miao Kewei and others to the direction of Kongtong Mountain. Zilan and Li Chongjun took Ah Pan and rushed to Shuzhou under the escort of Ugo and Ariana.
It was only at noon that Iron Scale received the news that several of his subordinates who had been sent to the inn to keep an eye on had been killed by a sword piercing their hearts. It was the innkeeper who found the body before reporting to the official, otherwise the iron scales would still be kept in the dark.
Sitting at home stupidly waiting for news. Iron Scale didn't care about handling the aftermath for his own people, so he hurriedly sent someone to check the guards at the gate, and finally asked Zilan that they were out of the city gate. So he chased them down all the way until they were out of the city. It's getting dark.
When I came all the way to Yizhou, I walked on the mountain road this morning, and there was an unfathomable deep valley on one side of the mountain road, and a cliff on the other side.
Suddenly, two fast horses came galloping from the front. Passing by the crowd and galloping away, the knights on the horses were all wearing black cloaks, and even their headbands and bodies were covered in cloaks. Can't see the face clearly. Just a short time later,
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves behind them was heard, and the two men galloped after them from behind. Still passing and running forward, the figure disappeared into the woods in an instant. Everyone was surprised, Zi Lan was dissatisfied: "These two people are also rude, and the mountain road is narrow and they are not afraid of bumping into people!" Li Chongjun said "um" and said: "This is a mountain bandit on the rivers and lakes, just came to test it." If it was as expected, they were waiting a short distance ahead. ”
Among the people, he has the most experience in the rivers and lakes, and when he heard this, he took the long sword in his hand and got ready. When Ah Pan heard that there were mountain bandits, he was immediately frightened and said, "How can this be good? Let's go back and take a detour elsewhere." ”
Ugo laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, with our group of Tianshan faction heroes, any mountain bandits are just some local chickens and dogs." After I learned this thing, I haven't had a chance to make this knife in the market, so wouldn't it be good for them to come to the door now?"
After walking for several miles of mountain road, turning a corner, the mountain road suddenly became cheerful, and there were dozens of men in strong suits standing on the open ground in front of them, led by a big man holding a mace in his hand, and the scars on his face were criss-crossed, looking extremely hideous and terrifying. As soon as the man saw Zilan, they were immediately overjoyed
, shouted: "Boys, destroy all the two licensed goods, and leave three girls to warm the bed!" The bandits sang a promise, and immediately rushed up with knives, guns and sticks.
Li Chongjun said in a deep voice: "This gang of mountain bandits is going to kill people when they come up, it can be seen that it is different from the ordinary thieves who grab some money and goods to make ends meet, they don't know how many lives they have pressed in their hands, and the nearby villagers must be miserable by their scourge, today we will do chivalrous righteousness and remove this harm for the people!"
Ugo was overjoyed, and immediately jumped his horse and ran out with a horizontal sword, he didn't like to use a sword, but he made good use of a huge horse chopping knife, and in the whistling sound, when the first few mountain bandits were cut off by a knife, the rest of the mountain bandits saw this and not only ran away,
On the contrary, he was furious and pounced on him with all kinds of murder weapons. Zilan greeted Ariana and said, "This accumulation of virtue that punishes evil and promotes good can't be all called Ugo Zhan, let's go up too." Ariana smiled: "Okay, yes, but what about Senior Brother and Ah Pan?"
Zi Lan smiled: "Don't worry, your senior brother doesn't take this gang of murderers in his eyes yet." He could protect Ah Pan as much as he could. Ariana then put her mind at ease, snorted, knocked her feet on the saddle, and threw herself into the mountain bandits with her sword, but when she saw the silver hair flying, the sword light flashed, and the mountain bandits were killed so that people turned on their backs. The wicked man at the head saw that they were coming fiercely.
shouted loudly: "Iron Ridge Eight-Shot Crossbow is ready, shoot these people!" Li Chongjun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, these people actually had Iron Ridge Eight-Shot Crossbow! It can be seen that the background is extremely deep, and they are not ordinary mountain bandits. The mountain bandits were in a state of confusion, and more than a dozen people rushed out to rush forward with crossbows in their hands and knelt down on one leg.
Aiming the crossbow at Ariana and Ugo, Li Chongjun couldn't help laughing when he saw it, those eight-shot crossbows were definitely not the iron ridge eight-shot crossbows in the Anxi Duhufu army, but the bows and crossbows made of hardwood and mangosteen. The crossbow arrows on it are also replaced by bamboo arrows. However, the appearance is extremely similar to that of an iron spine eight-shot crossbow. The Iron Spine eight-shot crossbow is so lethal. (To be continued......)
