Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 44 I am unwilling to go to Chang'an like this
"Brothers, follow me to kill!"

"Come on!"

The men in black roared and charged, and were pierced by Li Mang, and the rain of arrows pierced through their bodies.

Pei Sijian watched this scene calmly. Li Yan, dressed in military uniform, stood behind him, also watching the battle expressionlessly.

After County Magistrate Cui committed suicide, his old slave and attendant Lu San were also taken down. After interrogation, it can be preliminarily judged that these two people do not know much.

But being implicated by A Lang, even if they don't know anything, the rest of their lives will be over, basically they will end up working hard until they die.

On the other side, the inner guards of Miyagi and the personal guards of the governor's mansion regrouped, and under the leadership of Pei Sijian and Li Yan, they went straight to the stronghold of the man in black again.

The location provided by County Magistrate Cui was correct. These men in black had gathered there during the day. They wanted to evacuate when they saw spies being arrested on the street, but found that the city gate was sealed, so they had to hide in it silently.

Then it was surrounded, and even the tunnels were blocked in advance.

When the corpses fell in a pool of blood, one after another the dying screams hit the soul, and the aura of the man in black fell precipitously.

Finally, after more than half of the casualties, someone wailed in nonsense: "Forgive me! I surrender! I surrender!"

"Lie on the ground, disarm and don't kill!"

Pei Sijian nodded slightly, and the guards began to shout continuously.

It is still necessary to keep some survivors. Although these Hu people's dead soldiers are humble, they can train a good skill and master the sword, ax, bow and crossbow proficiently.

It is impossible for anyone or anything to be perfect, and there are always clues that can be traced.

"Come back quickly!"

However, at this moment, a loud shout came from the stronghold.

"It's the leader!"

Li Yan's expression changed, and he recognized that hoarse and unpleasant voice, it was the black-clothed leader who led the team to besiege him in the alley last night.

And this person was extremely prestigious, those men in black who had already lost their fighting spirit, immediately gathered towards the house after hearing the summoning voice.

"According to Cui County Magistrate, there is a basement under the house, and a secret road has been built, leading to another private house two hundred steps away, as a retreat."

"But that escape route has already been blocked by the inner guards in advance. If there is only one secret passage, how did this black-clothed leader appear?"

Li Yan thought that the situation had changed: "I'm afraid the enemy has another secret way, so we must not let them escape!"

Pei Sijian agreed, and said coldly: "Strike!"

"what--!!"

Unexpectedly, there was no further reaction from Datang's side, and there was a sudden scream from inside.

"Not good! The other party wants to silence!"

Li Yanyi was bold and bold, with a knife in his hand, he rushed out directly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As soon as he entered the room, the sound of the mechanism firing sounded, and hidden weapons as fine as rain flew over.

With a twist of Li Yan's wrist, the long knife whistled out in a high-pitched wind, and directly rolled back the hidden weapon, staring densely at a wooden board in an instant.

But following it, three or four more traps were launched, delaying the pace.

When Li Yan finished everything and came to the basement of the stronghold, the screams had stopped.

What came into view was a pile of dead bodies.

In the previous siege, more than half of the men in black were killed or injured, and only twelve or three escaped.

And in this short time of a dozen or so breaths, they were all killed, and their corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Li Yan's face sank like water, his eyes scanned, and he found that all of these people had their throats slit and were killed with one blow.

"What a ruthless method! What a fast speed!"

Li Yan quickly followed the corpse.

Sure enough, there is another secret passage.

This secret passage should not have been excavated for a long time, and it is relatively short. Li Yan is tall, so he had to bend over and walk quickly inside.

After about [-] steps forward, the front suddenly opened up, but it was another farmer's cellar, and there was a smell of fermented pickles.

Li Yan tapped his toes and flew out.

The body is like a bowstring, it can relax freely, and the breath is like a feather arrow, soaring through the sky and piercing the moon.

After the bloody battle and anger last night, his martial arts cultivation level has gradually improved, his eyes are like lightning, and after scanning, he immediately finds the traces of footprints and judges the direction.

"It really is the Liangzhou Posthouse!"

Now that Liangzhou spies have been caught, all black-clothed killers have been executed, and their hiding places have also been locked. The black-clothed leader wants to escape, and the best place left is the Tubo envoys.

"You can't run away!"

Li Yan took out the explosive rod from his arms, and while striding forward to track down the meteor, he ignited it and released it into the sky.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Accompanied by sharp sounds, the nearby inner guards received the news one after another and surrounded them from all directions.

The sky and the earth net make it hard for you to fly!
……

at the same time.

In front of the gate of the Liangzhou Posthouse, a disheveled Qiu Shenji came out.

In fact, he had only been locked up for more than ten days, but looking at the bright sun in the sky at this time, he felt as if he had passed away.

Because just now, not only did he learn the truth about the murder of the Tubo ambassador, he was also told that the secret spy organization in Liangzhou had been uprooted.

After the inner guard who came to report finished speaking, he left in a hurry to arrest people and make meritorious service.

After receiving Pei Sijian's handwritten letter, Bren Zanren of the Tubo envoy's complexion changed several times, and his arrogance plummeted.

But after the messenger left, Brun Zanren became furious again, and released the other inner guards, leaving Qiu Shenji behind, which really made things difficult for him.

In the end, when Qiu Shenji came out, everything was settled.

"Why didn't you wait for me...why didn't you wait for me..."

Qiu Shenji walked forward, instinctively going to the station to find his third uncle, but when the inner guard said just now that Qiu Yingzheng was seriously injured and unconscious, he gave up, staggered on the street, lost his mind.

Just as he was lamenting that he had accomplished nothing, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting in front of him. From his angle, he happened to see a man in black flying over the walls in the alley, avoiding the pursuit of arrows behind him.

"Chance!"

Qiu Shenji was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, his back was straightened, his limbs stretched out, the fighting spirit of the family of generals was burning, and he was about to draw his sword and move forward.

"Wait... where is my knife!"

He fished at his waist, and it was empty.

It was only then that Qiu Shenji realized that although Brun Zanren had let him go, the weapons he had confiscated hadn't been returned at all, and he walked out empty-handed.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black rushed over, dancing with a long sword vigorously.

The unmatched strength caused Qiu Shenji, who was unarmed, to feel fear, and immediately chose to dodge.

But the next moment, it was the man in black who screamed.

Because the wind suddenly rang from behind, a figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier, landed behind the man in black, and chopped it down with a single blow.

The combination of man and knife, all victorious battles!
"Li Yuanfang!!"

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the leader in black roared wildly, mustering all the strength in his body, and slashed his back with his sword.

"Chong-!!"

The next moment, the black-clothed leader spurted blood from his mouth, his old wounds flared up, and Li Yan sent him flying backwards with his sword, hitting the wall next to him with his back.

Li Yan grabbed out his left hand, like reaching for something, clasped his neck, and lifted it up directly.

After capturing the enemy alive, Li Yan noticed Qiu Shenji who was standing stupidly next to him: "You are out, go and see Uncle Qiu, he needs someone to take care of him!"

Qiu Shenji wanted to squeeze out a flattering smile, but it was uglier than crying: "Yes... yes..."

Li Yan nodded, holding the leader in black, and leading a large number of internal guards, he left arrogantly.

Watching their backs, Qiu Shenji, who missed the opportunity, sat down slowly with his back against the wall like a deflated ball.

Dou Da's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Why am I so unlucky..."

Qiu Shenji was halfway through crying, then fell on his back.

But the earthen wall couldn't bear the impact and fell backwards, and he fell into the ruins along with it.

"what--!!"

Li Yan, who was a hundred meters away, turned his head slightly, as if he heard a shrill scream coming from afar.

He didn't pay attention, and focused on the black-clothed leader in his hand, and took it all the way back to the Dudu Mansion.

After removing the mask, a slightly feminine face of a barbarian appeared in front of Li Yan and Pei Sijian.

The black-clothed leader's hands and feet joints have been removed, like a puddle of mud, being held up by two inner guards.

Even at this point, his eyes are still full of fierceness, without the slightest panic or fear.

Pei Sijian asked: "Are you Liniang's up-line, the leader of all Tibetan spies in Liangzhou?"

"Li Niang? Don't mention that name again!"

The hoarse voice of the black-clothed leader was filled with deep-seated hatred: "If it wasn't for this traitor, how could I have been caught by you? Magistrate Cui has also been exposed, right? Seven years of hard work were ruined! I hate it! I hate it!"

These words admitted her identity in disguise, Pei Sijian's eyes lit up, she laughed and said: "You are tough now, and you will explain it later, take it down!"

"I won't tell you if you kill me!"

The black-clothed leader spat viciously, and was dragged down with a full face.

Pei Sijian's smile immediately subsided, and she looked at Li Yan: "Is it him?"

"No! This person is just a scapegoat!"

Li Yan shook his head, his eyes were cold.

In the match just now, he felt something was wrong.

This black-clothed leader, like the one who attacked him last night, used the same gut strength and was good at assassination, but there was a gap in the use of strength.

This gap is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but Li Yan is not an ordinary person.

He has full confidence in his martial arts level, even if this person intentionally suffers internal injuries in order to pretend, he can't hide it from him.

Pei Sijian was slightly silent, and sighed: "The imperial decree has arrived in Liangzhou the day before yesterday, and the old man is going to return to Beijing with the envoys. Now that so many things have happened, I have to leave quickly. Yuanfang, you also have to go with me. When we go Chang'an, the sages will definitely recruit each other!"

Li Yan stood on the spot, slightly at a loss: "I'm leaving Liangzhou and going to Chang'an?"

Chang'an is not only the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but also the greatest city of this era. If it was before, he would be very happy if he had achieved a little.

But now, if he leaves Liangzhou, does it mean that the murderer behind the scenes will be at large?

Pei Sijian stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Personal affairs can't be perfect, and people's hearts can't be satisfied. As long as that person is still working for Tubo, we still have a chance!"

Li Yan's complexion changed, and he stood still, lost in thought.

When she came back to her senses, Pei Sijian had already left.

The spies and killers have been wiped out, the gate of the city will be opened, and there are still many aftermath matters.

And Li Yan's eyes became firm again, with a stubbornness that would not give up until the goal was reached:

"Going to Chang'an like this, I feel unwilling!"

"I'm going to arrest that person..."

"Achievements, add points!"
