Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1210 Ambush and Kill

A secret decree came out of the palace gate and fell into the hands of Song Sen, the governor of Yongzhou, Baiqisi.

Longyan was furious, thunderstorm.

Li Zhi strictly ordered the Baiqi commander to find Lu Jiayi immediately, and the imperial guards in the palace were responsible for killing him.

With an order, the subordinates of Baiqi Division acted quickly.

Lu Jiayi escaped from the post at Honglu Temple, but Song Sen already knew that he and his followers were hiding in a shop run by a barbarian in Xishi.

However, it was already dawn at this time, and the West City of Chang'an was opened. As the only super city in the world, after the opening of the West City, the flow of people filled the streets in an instant.

When Baiqisi broke into the shop, he suddenly found that Lu Jiayiduo and his followers who were hiding in the shop had disappeared.

There were Baiqisi's eyeliner staring at the shop, but Lu Jiayi just disappeared.

The biggest possibility is that when the West Market opened after dawn, Lu Jiayiduo and his followers changed their outfits, mixed with the crowd and quietly left the West Market.

Song Sen was shocked and angry when he got the news.

The meat sent to his mouth is flying, how can the emperor trust Baiqisi after talking about it?
There are also remedial measures. One is to block the gates of the city, and then take the whole city. This method is unrealistic. Chang'an is a super big city with a population of over one million. Moreover, the city is too large to be searched at all.

The second is to mobilize the imperial guards to go out of the city and guard the roads in all directions outside Chang'an City.

Song Sen immediately called the General of the Imperial Guard, and after discussing with each other, they decided to choose the second option.

As a result, the imperial guards of Chang'an City were mobilized, and the army was divided into more than a dozen branches, and they rushed to the main roads outside the city gate.

Only the road outside the Anhua Gate, the guards were about to set off, but were stopped by Song Sen.

He knew that Li Qinzai was guarding outside the Anhua Gate. After analysis, if Lu Jiayiduo wanted to escape, he would most likely flee from the south, crossing the Han River and diverting to Tubo, and Anhua Gate was the southern gate of Chang'an.

…………

The chasing troops attack, the wind is jittery.

Ten miles outside the Anhua Gate, Li Qinzai and his followers were still waiting quietly.

The principle of setting up an ambush is actually the same as hunting prey. What is more important than force is the patience of gritting your teeth and persevering.

An excellent hunter often endures loneliness, and he has the determination to win the prey.

Li Qinzai had been on the battlefield and personally killed the enemy with a knife. He knew what an ambush should be like.

Thousands of troops have experienced it before, and this small battle at the moment is really nothing.

Time was passing slowly, Li Qinzai looked up at the sky, arrived here early in the morning, now it is almost noon, and he has been waiting for a whole morning.

There are many pedestrians on the road, most of them are traffickers, most of them are caravans of various colors from various countries, and there are servants passing official documents in a hurry.

Every person who passed by was carefully screened by the trilogy to make sure that Lu Jiayi was not among them.

After noon, Li Qinzai finally had self-doubt. It stands to reason that Lu Jiayi should have left the city long ago. The current Chang'an City should already be surrounded by scouts and horses, searching the whole city.

With Li Zhi's temper, after experiencing such shame and humiliation, he would inevitably mobilize even the imperial guards in the palace, just to kill the person who made him deceived.

How could Lu Jiayiduo survive in Chang'an City?

Suppressing his impetuous mood, Li Qinzai waited patiently for a while.

Huang Tian paid off, finally, a member of the Li family rushed over on horseback, his face was full of excitement.

"Wu Shaolang, a suspicious cavalry team has come out of Anhua Gate!"

Li Qinzai hummed, and said, "What do you wear for the cavalry?"

"There are 14 members in the cavalry team, all wearing sheepskin felt hats and the clothes of Persian merchants, and some of them even have golden hair."

"How do you know they're suspicious?"

"All of them covered their faces with black cloths, sat on the horse mountain with their heads bowed, for fear that others would recognize them, and... a cavalry team that came all the way from Persia only had a dozen horses , the shopkeeper is not afraid of losing money."

Bu Qu smiled, and said: "What's more, when they left Chang'an City, the dozen or so horses didn't bring any property from the Tang Dynasty, so they just rode back to Persia empty-handed?"

"Although the villains are not in business, they still understand the most basic principles. If they are really Persian merchants, they will simply go bankrupt."

Li Qinzai smiled: "It's indeed suspicious. If there is no accident, it should be Lu Jiayiduo's group."

Immediately, Li Qinzai's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Paoze, set up an ambush and line up!"

The parts came together suddenly, and then quickly dispersed.

In the middle of the avenue, a hundred members of the Li family were holding halberds, and the surrounding air suddenly froze.

The howling cold wind, the neat armor, and the cold light on the tip of the halberd are all sending strong signals to passers-by.

A killing is about to begin.

Passers-by were frightened by the aura emanating from this trilogy, and they took the initiative to avoid it, and some simply jumped out of the road and rushed into the forest beside the road, for fear of being unnecessarily affected.

After an hour of incense sticks, the cavalry team finally arrived.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast. They were rushing on the road in a hurry, whipping the horses under them mercilessly, and turned their heads while running wildly, as if they were afraid of the pursuers behind them.

When there were still fifty steps away from the formation of the Li family's trilogy, the leader of the cavalry suddenly reined in the reins, and the entire cavalry had to stop.

Everyone stared straight ahead, their expressions gradually changed from initial astonishment to despair.

Fifty paces ahead, on the main road, a hundred men in armor had already lined up neatly, holding long halberds, waiting quietly for them.

Their iron armor is thick and mighty, even their faces are covered by iron armor, only a pair of cold eyes are exposed.

Silently, a strong killing intent permeated the surroundings.

Looking at the back of the formation, one man and one rider are standing quietly. It is actually Li Qinzai in plain clothes. The killing intent was not concealed.

The leader of the cavalry was silent for a long time, then simply took off the sheepskin felt hat on his head, revealing that familiar face.

Sure enough, it was Lu Jiayi.

Li Qinzai nodded with a smile: "It's been a long time, master, are you here all right?"

Lu Jiayiduo's expression was panicked and desperate, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and said calmly: "Mr. Li is waiting for me here on purpose?"

Li Qinzai sighed with a smile: "The master is the general of Huaihua appointed by His Majesty, and also a doctor of the Taishi Bureau. Today, he left the city in a hurry. How can there be no one to see him off?"

"Li is not talented, and I would like to personally give the master a ride."

Lu Jiayiduo said coldly: "I will send you off without any trouble. I am going out of the city on business at the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I ask Duke Li not to obstruct it."

Li Qinzai was delighted: "Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it? I also obeyed the emperor's will..."

Lu Jiayi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "What is the emperor's will?"

Li Qinzai's smile gradually faded, and his tone became colder: "The emperor said, he will kill you."
