Comprehensive Martial Arts: Read to become a sage, use martial arts to break the ban

Chapter 150 Tang Yan Runs at Night
Just when Tang Yan poisoned Hai Dagui, Ji Yao finally sneaked into the Tongqu Pavilion Yuzhou Guild Hall.

She came here for two days. First, she walked around Yuzhou City, inquired about the prices of various supplies, and then went to the pier to observe the transportation situation of the waterway.

It was discovered that all the supplies that were supposed to enter the Tongliang Mountains were intercepted, so they found a large grain store and went in.

She didn't dare to use the name of the Tang Sect, pretending to be from the Mu Family Village, and wanted to buy two thousand catties of rice.

The shopkeeper said distressedly: "Miss, don't say two thousand catties, even two hundred catties, you can't get out of Yuzhou City."

"Why is this? Could it be that the people watching Tongliang Mountain starve to death?"

"This is an order from the Grain Merchant Association, wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival to release the grain."

Ji Yao's heart trembled, food was released during the Dragon Boat Festival, it seemed that Xiao Luo wanted to do something before the Dragon Boat Festival.

She said angrily: "We have nothing to eat, we can chew grass roots, don't you do business?"

The shopkeeper slapped his thigh: "Strange to say, the chamber of commerce promised us a [-]% price increase after the Dragon Boat Festival, which is enough to make up for the shortfall during this period."

"But I heard that some grain stores have started to increase their prices. When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know what the increase will be. What will we mountain people do?"

The shopkeeper showed sympathy: "No matter how strong you are, you can buy some sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger. Besides, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the prices of crops in your mountainous areas will also increase, so it's not a loss."

Ji Yao left with a sigh.

Tongqu Pavilion Yuzhou Guild Hall was extremely guarded, and Ji Yao didn't dare to put herself in danger. After observing the guard's shift schedule for two days, she finally sneaked in on the third night and touched the highest Linjiang Pavilion in the hall.

the light is on.

The people in the room seemed to be still reading, and the lights illuminated a graceful silhouette.

The four guards guarded the third floor of the attic separately. Ji Yao concluded that there were more people on the second and first floors.

She picked up a stone on the ground, popped it vigorously, and landed on the left side of Linjiang Pavilion.

On the left are a few low houses, and the stones rolled down to the ridge of the roof, making a crisp sound of breaking tiles.

The two guards on the first floor flew out, but the guards on the second and third floors just watched and did not follow suit.

Ji Yao frowned, grabbed two more stones, one bounced towards the flying guard, and the other towards the second floor window of the attic.

bang.

The wooden window lattice was broken, and one of the guards on the left roof ridge was also hit, screaming "Ouch".

Attacked on both sides, two guards flew out from the first floor and rushed towards the injured companion. The guards on the second floor flew out at the same time and entered the building.

The four guards on the third floor did not move except those on both sides of the main entrance. The guards on the left and right moved a few steps, revealing a blind spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Yao flew up and hung under the left eaves of the third floor.

When the guard walked back to the original place, she jumped down softly, covered the man's mouth with one hand, and stabbed the man with the short knife with the other.

The guard was instantly stunned.

Before the rest of the guards could react, she grabbed the corpse and threw it to the front, hitting the two guards at the main entrance.

"who!"

"There are assassins!"

By the time the two guards chopped the thrown corpse into several pieces, she had already smashed through the window and jumped in.

In front of the window sat a pretty woman, looking over the accounts.

Seeing her intrude, the woman grabbed the brass paperweight on the table and threw it at it. Ji Yao reached out and brushed it away, followed by the lamp on the table.

These two things have no internal force at all, Ji Yao judged that the woman in front of her did not have martial arts, so she rushed over and stabbed the woman's chest with the short blade.

Just then, the lights went out.

Ji Yao's eyes suddenly blurred, and a dense smoke appeared inexplicably, filling the entire attic.

laugh.

The short blade pierced into the body, and the warmth of blood came from the back of Ji Yao's hand, and she succeeded.

She was no longer interested in fighting, and flew out of the window like a bird, when a terrified cry came from behind: "Miss!"

"Come here, the eldest lady has been assassinated!"

She smiled lightly, swayed a few times, and disappeared into the night.

The three of Xiao Luo, relying on the token of Zhenwusi, changed horses at various post stations, traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Yufeng Mountain outside Yuzhou City on the fifth day.

Ten thousand Jingwu troops have already been stationed here.

Guo Pengju came out to welcome him: "His Royal Highness has arrived."

"General Guo, has the Haijiao Gang found you?"

In Feixun, Miss Wei told Xiao Luohai that the Jiao Gang had sealed off the Lingjiang River.

Guo Pengju shook his head: "Let's come first. There are secret sentries all over the surrounding area. The Haijiao Gang came later. Their spies were sent away without crossing the river."

Yufeng Mountain faced the Yangtze River, and the warships of the Haijiao Gang were stationed on the Lingjiang River, separated by a city of Yuzhou.

"Where is Commander Su?"

Su Gui brought hundreds of people from Zhenwusi to Yuzhou first, but he did not come out at this time.

"He's gone to the Tang Sect."

Xiao Luo frowned: "How can you risk yourself?"

Guo Pengju said embarrassingly: "I can't persuade him. People from Zhenwu Division are scattered in Yuzhou. He went to Tangmen by himself. It has been two days."

"What do you think we should do now? Should we attack the Haijiao Gang or the Tang Sect?"

Naturally, Guo Pengju knew better about marching and fighting, and Xiao Luo didn't want to interfere with his decision.

Guo Pengju took out the marching map and pointed to the Lingjiang River: "Please look, Your Highness, where the warships of the Haijiao Gang are docked, less than ten miles upstream is the Cizhen ferry. From here, they go ashore and go straight to Bayue Mountain. It only takes three hours. we'll be there."

He pointed to Yufeng Mountain again: "We don't cross the Yangtze River, and we don't enter Yuzhou. We pass through Zhaomu Mountain from the north, cross the Lingjiang River, and go around Bayue Mountain to ambush."

He moved his fingers inch by inch, and finally stopped at a place called Bishan, a half-height canyon, just between Cizhen Ferry and Bayue Mountain.

"How many people are there in the Haijiao Gang?"

"Three buildings and fifty Mengchongs of different sizes, the total number of people should be around [-]."

"There is no problem with the ambush location. How do you arrange it for the Jingwu Army?"

Guo Pengju thought for a while, and said calmly: "Your Highness, I know that you want to eat the entire Tang Sect, but the general thinks there are two things wrong with besieging the Tang Sect with the Jingwu Army."

"Tell me in detail."

"First, the Tang Sect is proficient in hidden weapons and poisons. Hidden weapons can be avoided, but poisons are difficult to defend against. The Jingwu Army has no chance of winning. Second, apart from the disciples of the Tang Sect, there are tens of thousands of family members. Once a war starts, accidental injuries will inevitably occur."

After the Tang Sect moved westward, it has been operating in the Tongliang Mountains for hundreds of years, and has long been integrated with the local people. Not only Taiping Town, but also tens of thousands of people live in the Tang Sect headquarters.

These people included Tang Sect direct descendants, Tang Sect ordinary disciples, and their dependents, servants, tenant farmers, etc. The Jingwu army could not identify their identities, so they had to kill them all.

"So, General Guo meant to kill the Haijiao Gang?"

"His Royal Highness, surround the spot to fight for aid, and plan it slowly. As long as the supplies cannot be transported in, they will surrender sooner or later."

This will turn into a tug of war.

Xiao Luo made up his mind: "Follow General Guo's order and set off tonight, but we must wipe out all the Haijiao Gang and burn the warships."

"Yes!"

"I will go to the Tang Sect first to meet Commander Su."

"Your Highness, don't take risks!"

Just now it was said that Su Changhe put himself in danger, but now Xiao Luo actually wanted to go by himself, Guo Pengju hurriedly stopped him.

"My palace must go."

On the road, Xiao Luo had already changed into an ordinary martial artist's attire. He was dressed in a black robe, and Tian Zhan wrapped his appearance with cloth strips, making it inconspicuous.

Li Fanban also changed out of the Taoist robe of Qingcheng Mountain, and both Wei Lang and Wei Lang wore blue cloth shirts.

The three of them crossed the Yangtze River and entered Yuzhou without stopping. Before dark, they crossed the Lingjiang River by boat and followed the official road to Tongliang Mountain.

The headquarters of the Tang Sect, the punishment hall prison.

Tang Yan has been locked here for seven days.

There is only one small window for delivering meals in this cell, and the walls are all made of fine iron, so it can be said that it is impossible to escape.

After she killed Hai Dagui, she was imprisoned here, and all the poison and hidden weapons on her body were searched. If she wanted to die, she could only bite her tongue.

She couldn't bear to die.

I don't know if it was because Tang Lianyue couldn't bear it, or because Tang Jue was pleading for love, but the Tang Sect didn't execute her, nor tried her, and kept her locked up here.

Tang Jue's people delivered the food, Bai Zhi and Qing Dai didn't know what happened, and Tang Buxi and Tang Bule didn't know if they were dead or not.

In fact, killing Hai Dagui is useless. It can take up to three days before the Haijiao Gang and Tangmen can reconnect, but Tang Yan can't do nothing. She remembers what the old man said: "If you want God to help you, you You have to help yourself first.”

After three days of delay, can that Xiao Luo come?

In the midst of anxiety, the window of the prison opened, and it was time to deliver dinner.

On a bowl of brown rice, there is a boiled egg, two pickled cucumbers, and a handful of chopped chili.

Before going to jail, Tang Yan had never eaten such a bad meal. She lived a princess-like life in Tang Sect.

Looking at the bowl of food, Tang Yan felt a little sad. She walked over and was about to pick it up when suddenly the hand holding the bowl turned over like lightning and grabbed her wrist.

Tang Yan didn't yell, but caught the falling rice bowl with her other hand.

The window was too small to see the face of the person outside, only a low voice was heard: "Is it Miss Tang Yan?"

"Yes."

"I can let you go, is there any way for you to escape by yourself?"

Tang Yan thought for a while: "Tang Jue will stare at me unless you lure him away."

The man remained silent. To lure Tang Jue away meant revealing his identity, and even alarming the people of the Tang Sect. He must have an important mission to sneak in. Wouldn't it be a delay to the event if he was exposed like this.

Just when Tang Yan thought he was going to refuse, that voice agreed: "I'll go and lure him away."

Tang Yan was startled: "Where do you want me to escape to?"

"Bishan, our people will ambush the Haijiao Gang there, you go there and wait."

"it is good."

The man let go of Tang Yan, and pulled the window left and right with two wide and thick palms. With a stroke of luck, he opened a huge gap in the half-foot-square window in an instant.

"Happy Heaven Realm!"

Tang Yan covered her mouth and whispered.

The man took out a token and gave it to Tang Yan: "Hold it well, our people will know when they see the token."

With the help of the dim torch, Tang Yan saw the word Zhenwu engraved on the token, and she understood the identity of the person in front of her.

"Why save me?"

"Because you remind me of my former self, who didn't pay any price for the clansman."

Tang Yan got out of the prison cell and followed the man out. The prison was full of corpses of guards. As expected of the Happy Heaven, he killed dozens of people without making a sound.

After leaving the prison, the man said again: "Hide first, and go out after the fire is lit."

"Well, be careful yourself, Tang Jue got the Buddha's Fury Tang Lian, and he also practiced Ten Thousand Trees Flying Flowers."

"No wonder you dare not fight him head-on."

"Although you are in the Happy Heaven Realm, there is no hope of victory in front of Buddha's Fury Tang Lian and Wan Shu Fei Hua, and there are also Tang Liyue and King Chang'an."

For some reason, Tang Yan didn't want the person in front of her to die.

"understood."

As soon as the man took a step, he advanced ten feet, and left the punishment department in a blink of an eye.

Soon, flames ignited outside the Guangyang Hall, accompanied by the sound of fierce fighting and the shouts of Tang Sect disciples.

Tang Yan understood Tang Jue's character. When a master appeared in front of him, even if he knew that Tang Yan had escaped, he would not give up the chance of making a mistake. He would tear that person to pieces first.

"People on the blood list, I hope you don't die."

Tang Yan flashed out of the shadows, walked out of the headquarters through the small door for the helpers to buy vegetables, and then flashed into the courtyard of Tang Liancai's house. After waiting for a while, she made sure that no one was following her, then rushed out of the courtyard and ran towards the city. outside.

Out of town, she jumped into the river, took off her shoes, and swam through.

Several consecutive torrential rains had washed up the river a lot. She stepped on the rushing water and looked back. The fire at the headquarters was even brighter, and half of the sky was illuminated red.

Tang Yan landed on the shore and ran forward with bare feet.

Bishan was fifty miles away from Tangmen. Although it was an official road, it was paved with a lot of gravel. Tang Yan's foot was cut very quickly, and there was a sharp pain in the sole of her foot.

But she didn't slow down, instead, she turned her true energy to the extreme, like a gust of night wind, blowing forward quickly.

When reaching Bishan, Xiao Luo stopped.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"someone is coming."

Li Fanban and Wei Lang immediately became vigilant.

Soon, a black shadow rushed towards them, and when it came to them, the black shadow stopped for a moment and let out a slight panting sound.

Li Fan asked, "Who?"

A soft female voice replied, "Who are you?"

Wei Lang lit up the torch, showing a beautiful face and wet clothes.

Tang Yan also looked at them, and when she saw Xiao Luo, she couldn't help being taken aback.

Xiao Luo looked at the token at her waist, the wet clothes tightly attached to her body made the token take on a familiar shape.

"This is the token of Zhenwusi. Have you seen Commander Su?"

"who are you?"

Tang Yan asked stubbornly.

"This palace, Xiao Luo, is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."

"What is the proof?"

Tang Yan is a cautious person, her intuition told her that the person in front of her was the one she was looking for, but she still asked.

Xiao Luo took out the token of the crown prince's canonization, on the warm white jade, "Emperor Prince Treasure" was engraved, and when it was turned over, the word "Shunwu" was engraved on the back.

It's really him!

Tang Yan immediately took out the Zhenwu Commander's card and handed it to Xiao Luo: "Hurry up and save people, he's fighting in Tangmen!"

Xiao Luo's heart sank, and he immediately said: "Fan, you fly to Tangmen with your sword and protect Commander Su."

Li Fan knew that Su Changhe was at a critical moment of life and death, so he didn't have time to reply, so he threw the mahogany sword into the air, jumped onto the sword, and left through the air.

"Miss, please forgive my abruptness, I want to take you away."

Tang Yan was startled again, Xiao Luo's sleeves wrapped around her waist, and then she soared into the sky, flying towards Tangmen like a shooting star.
