Rizhao Xiongguan is the ancient capital of the smoke cage. In the early morning, Luoyang City seemed to have just woken up from a good night's sleep, and before he could open his sleepy eyes, he had no time to carefully look at the white sails on Luoshui, and then plunged into the noisy daytime.

Although the Tang army under the command of Li Shimin was pressing, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelled in Luoyang City, most of the people still did not feel how nervous they were, and got up early to start the day's work.

I have to say that the people of Luoyang have been accustomed to calmness, hundreds of years of dynasty changes, this ancient city in the Central Plains has been destroyed by war many times, but it has stubbornly stood up again and again. The most recent one is that last year, the hundreds of thousands of Wagang soldiers who were personally suppressed by Li Mi, the king of Wei, came to the city, shouting and killing the earth every day. Li Mi failed to get in after all, and entered the pass with the remnants of the defeated army and took refuge in Li Yuan.

The people of Luoyang believe that this city is blessed by a bodhisattva. It is said that a living Buddha of Emei Ci'en Temple now lives in the White Horse Temple outside the city, chanting scriptures and praying day and night, asking the Buddha to bless Luoyang City with good weather and peace for the country.

The heavy city gate creaked and screamed, and was slowly pushed open by more than a dozen Zheng soldiers with tigers on their backs. The people waiting outside the city gate carried a heavy basket of fresh vegetables and live fish that had just been caught from Luoshui, as well as dry firewood that had been dried all day.

Since the Wagang army captured Xingluocang, Luoyang City has gradually fallen into a grain shortage, and the price of rice has been raised higher and higher. Of course, this is not a good thing for the people in the city, but the vendors see an opportunity to make a lot of money.

Diao Xiaosi blended in the crowd entering the city and slowly moved forward. Xu Maogong was riding a little black donkey in front of him, and he was holding a gold-lettered signboard in front of him that read "Ancestral Secret Recipe, Cure All Diseases". Of course, this is from the back to the front, if you look at it from a different angle, you will see that the front of the signboard is written in another completely different eight big characters: "cloth clothes are gods, sincerity is spirit".

Xu Maogong's current identity is a Jianghu Langzhong who was once forcibly conscripted into the army by the Wagang Army, that is, the legendary old military doctor. Because he met the immortal when he was a child, thanks to the love of the immortal and his old man, he taught the method of Mai physiognomy, so he can be auspicious, good at judging yin and yang, and exorcise ghosts and catch evil hands. In short, he is a compound high-end talent.

Looking at Xu Maogong riding on the little donkey and dozing off leisurely, Diao Xiaosi was full of anger.

He carried a medicine box on his left shoulder, a bookcase hanging on his right shoulder, and the luggage of two people behind him, he was so tired that he had to free one hand to carry the beloved bird cage of the old man Niubi.

- Marshal Shenlei quickly appear and pull him up to the sky to make a table.

Diao Xiaosi cursed the cruel cow nose with resentment, pretended to be pushed by the crowd behind him when he entered the city, accidentally bumped into the little donkey's buttocks, and pulled off a handful of hair on the donkey's tail, and then grinned silently, raised his head and waited to see the joke of the cow nose. It's a pity that he forgot that it's not just the horse that can kick it, but the donkey can kick people when it's in a hurry......

"Aang, Aang!" the little donkey cried out in pain, pouted his ass and struggled to hit Diao Xiaosi's long-awaited face with one leg, and imprinted a bright and brilliant red stamp on his high head.

There was a sudden chaos at the gate of the city, and Zheng Bing, who was guarding the city, hurriedly shouted loudly to maintain order, drove a guy who was standing still into the city, and cleared the traffic jam in time.

Diao Xiaosi followed Niu Bi into the city with a swollen face, and looked at the scene in the city as he walked.

The scale of Luoyang City is not inferior to that of Chang'an, but it has a little more aura and a little less domineering in the vicissitudes of life.

Luoshui runs from west to east, dividing the entire Luoyang city into two large parts, on which the famous Tianjin Bridge stands.

The streets are filled with people, the hawkers are constantly shouting, and the fragrance of peony flowers can be smelled in the air.

Luoyang people love peonies, even if it is only a palm-sized piece of land in front of the door, they like to plant a few peony flowers on it. Now is the season of peony flowers, one by one competing for fragrance and enchanting, blooming in the wind under the sun. Pink, white, red, and even rare dark purple and snow blue...... Thousands of purples and thousands of red flowers are clustered, dressing the ancient Luoyang City like a grand garden.

This time, the task given to Diao Xiaosi by the second child of the Li family is simple and simple, and it is troublesome and troublesome, it depends on who will do the work. The bull nose patted his chest and assured Li Shimin that with his life-and-death friendship with Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others, he would definitely be able to successfully persuade them to put the chaos right and abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

However, the families of Qin and Cheng are all in Luoyang, and they must try to secretly pick them up outside the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, as soon as the two of them rebelled here, the wife and children over there would immediately be reincarnated and reincarnated.

So Li Er handed over this job to Diao Xiaosi, held his hand before leaving, and said in an extremely trusting and sincere tone: "Little Fourth Brother, please! I believe that there is no one in the world who you can't steal." ”

The more Diao Xiaosi listened, the more he felt that it was not a taste--when did Lao Tzu steal someone?

At this time, the passers-by on the street in front of them suddenly made a commotion, and they all dodged to both sides of the street in a panic.

In the distance, there was a cloud of dust, and seven or eight red men and green women in Luoyang City were beating horses and whips, galloping on the streets as if they were in a no-man's land, followed by more than a dozen guards and domestic slaves.

Adults screamed, children cried, and chickens and dogs jumped into a mess on the street, but this group of young boys and girls not only did not slow down their mounts, but went on a rampage and kept accelerating, one by one they were arrogant and elated, wearing gold and silver brocade clothes and jade belts, and almost engraved their names on their heads to show off everywhere.

The bustling street suddenly became empty, and Xu Maogong hid on the side of the street in the morning.

Diao Xiaosi also avoided under the eaves of the street early, holding a handful of copper plates in his hands - the silver that was originally intended to be smashed was better than the copper plate in terms of feel and effect, but considering the cost, he still decided to be careful and thrifty.

Regarding the performance of the cow's nose, Diao Xiaosi was very disdainful. Anyway, he also crawled out of the pile of thousands of dead people, how could he be frightened by a few raw melons and eggs riding wild horses?

Don't look at these little guys, five or six people can't be beaten, really give each of them a spear to pull to the battlefield, and see how many of them can stand up straight and not lie down.

In contrast, the old woman with gray hair standing in the middle of the street and standing still is much more backbone than a cow's nose.

I saw that her face was pale and trembling, and she was holding a cane and carrying a bamboo basket to look at the oncoming fast horse in a daze, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and she was silent without saying a word.

"Get out of here!" was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at the forefront, and he was about to hit the old woman with a whip.

His speed has reached the terrifying realm of "riding a dead horse", and if he doesn't get it right, he will crash into the shop on the side of the road with a slight dodge, and at that moment his legs are clamped between the horse's belly, and the crotch mount sighs and jumps, and he wants to volley over the top of the old woman's head, and at the same time lean over and wave the horsewhip to the old woman's body and face and whip it fiercely.

"Keng!" the old woman suddenly raised her body and threw out the bamboo basket in the crook of her arm, the panic and fear on her face disappeared, replaced by a chilling killing machine, and pulled out a pure and dazzling fairy sword like autumn water from her crutches, her feet fell to the ground, her body fell backwards and almost parallel to the ground, and she broke the horse's belly with a sword.

"Uh-huh" A thick powder mist burst out of the bamboo basket, instantly isolating the boy from his companions and guards behind him. The mount under the young man's crotch hissed miserably, and the flesh flew sideways, and it was disemboweled and split into two by the colchicum sword.

The young man screamed and jumped up from the saddle, and in the air, he saw the old woman's left hand with a short knife with a cold light and slicing straight into his throat.

Everything happened so fast that the boy's companion was completely frightened, and he burst headlong into the thick powder mist, screaming in horror.

The dozen or so guards behind them shouted, "There are assassins!" and they swept away, some to save their little sons, some drew their swords and swords to bypass the powder mist and attack the old woman, and made a mess of porridge on the street.

At the last moment, the young man swung the horsewhip in his hand and slammed the short knife that stabbed him.

The old woman shook her wrist and threw a short knife, "poof" at the root of the young man's right leg, only two inches short of killing him.

The young man screamed in pain: "Wei Lao Liu, save me!" His body danced in the air in a panic and fell down.

The old woman sneered, rubbed her body and leaned out to reach out and put her left hand on the young man's shoulder. However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the young man's shoulder, she suddenly heard two sharp and piercing sounds of "Xiuxiu", and a pair of swarthy and cold magic shuttles pierced through the powder mist.

"Tianyu Shuttle?" Diao Xiaosi hid in the panicked crowd and recognized the origin of the two magic shuttles at a glance.

He'd seen it on the black market before, and it was one of the twin eagles' flagship products, and it was expensive.

Its power is not only that it can easily penetrate the True Qi of the Hidden Realm master, but also has an automatic tracking function, which can lock onto opponents for long-distance assassination driven by the master's spiritual sense.

Since Wang Shichong became emperor, the Double Eagle Boat has disappeared from the black market in Luoyang, which can be regarded as another form of support from the Tang Sect for Li Yuan. But as long as you have the heart, there are still channels in Luoyang City to buy a secret secret weapon of the Tang Sect like Tianyu Shuttle, and of course the price will also double.

Seeing the ferocity of the Tianyu Shuttle, the old woman did not dare to slack off, and immediately twisted her waist and changed her sword to block outward.

Unexpectedly, the two Tianyu shuttles suddenly turned, causing the old woman's palm sword style to fail, and the reverse vest shot in.

The old woman was taken aback, and tried her best to carry a Tianyu shuttle that flew from the sword crash, but the other one took advantage of the weakness to enter the "poof" piercing back with a puff of red blood mist.

The guard who shot out the Tianyu Shuttle was the "Wei Lao Liu" who shouted from the young man's mouth, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he saw that the old woman Zhongsuo was injured, and hurriedly held his breath and flicked his sleeves to sweep away the rolling powder mist, and pounced on her.

"Huh-" A beam of yellow light struck violently from the oblique thorn, and the momentum was so strong that the lightning quickly increased, and Wei Lao Liu hurriedly flew in the air, and he could avoid the hidden weapon that shot at him.

Listen to the red men and green women behind him screaming and falling from their horses, each with a copper coin printed on their foreheads impartially!

Wei Lao Liu was shocked, with the knife in his hand, he was on guard, and shouted: "May I ask who is here, why don't you show up and see it?!"

The passers-by on the side of the street cried and shouted that the mother was on her back, but no one answered.

In the confusion, the old woman jumped over the ridge of the street and disappeared in an instant.
