Shengshichun

Fu Zhen received the news from Cheng Zhili's escort in the middle of the night.

A quarter of an hour later, she dressed neatly and walked out of the door, and happened to meet Pei Zhan walking out from there.

Pei Zhan said the first thing he said when he saw her: "Stop driving the carriage, let's go on horseback!"

After saying that, he handed her a riding crop and walked out of the door first.

Fu Zhen followed quickly, and the two of them quickly rushed into the night with their guards.

……

After Cheng Zhili locked the whereabouts of Lian Ren and the others, he quickly sent people back to his home to bring a large number of guards as reinforcements.

But Lian Yang didn't want to be taken prisoner. He had endured so many years of compromise, and it was not easy to reach this point. Of course, when Lian Yang sent him into the city, he knew that this trip was very risky, but according to his expectations, after entering the city, , as long as he lurks carefully within the city gate, there is no chance of success.

Because he was sure that Yang Yi would definitely enter the city. Now no one in the Zhou Dynasty thought that Yang Yi was still alive. In this case, as long as Yang Yi showed up, he would have too many chances to succeed.

What he never expected was that when he was rushing out of Yingpan Town, Fu Zhen would see the clues. How could this make him not cruel enough to capture this damn girl?
But things still didn't go as he wanted.

He sent two people out to capture Fuzhen, but he didn't expect them to come back. When he arrived at the empty Xu Mansion with his guards, the guard who ran out to distract Cheng Zhili and others brought news that: The two guards who captured Fu Zhen had already missed. The two guards who had been trained as dead soldiers by Prince Yi's Mansion actually missed!

"Two people suddenly appeared and saved Fu Zhen! Otherwise, she would not have been able to escape if Xiu Nu Ruyi had taken action!"

The guard replied breathlessly.

He was the person who was previously responsible for diverting Cheng Zhili away. Cheng Zhili only had five or six people with him. It was said that as long as there was no confrontation, he would not be in any danger.

But he also thought wrong!

As soon as he rushed out of the alley, the guards of the Cheng family began to attack from both sides. If he hadn't carried thunder bombs with him, it would have been impossible to escape.

Even so, he still let the other party catch up and cut him, and received a blow on the back. After he came to meet him, his body was still bleeding.

But while walking around, he saw the scene where Fu Zhen was intercepted!
At the same time, I also saw the two people who saved her at the critical moment!

"Who are those two people?"

"I don't know!" The guard shook his head desperately, "They are wearing robes and hats, so they can't tell their faces. But they attack very quickly and their moves are very spicy. But it seems that Fu Zhen doesn't recognize them either!"

Who are those two people?
Lian Ruan couldn't guess it.

But there was a worry in his heart, or a terrible suspicion. The capital was full of people recognized by the Pei family. Is there anyone with strong martial arts skills that Fu Zhen didn't recognize?
Why is it necessary to hide your face in front of him?
This kind of moment suddenly appears, and whoever is on Fu Zhen's side at that moment is very likely to be the person he is waiting for!

And if he guessed correctly, it would be too late for him to do anything at this moment. As soon as Yang Yi saw Fuzhen, what chance would he and Lian Yang have?
Yang Yi will definitely tell Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan everything about the situation in the northwest. Once they know the situation, regardless of whether Yang Yi enters the palace or not, Da Zhou will definitely take action against the situation in the northwest!

When Da Zhou takes action, Dongzi will have help. If Lian Yang wants to rely on the 200,000 soldiers and horses who instigated Dongzi to reverse the situation, the difficulty will be greatly increased!

If Lian Yang does not come back, then he will be thinking hard about getting rid of his slave status, returning to the Lian family and regaining his identity as a descendant of the family...

The divergent thoughts came to an abrupt end here, and a cold sweat broke out from Lian Ren's forehead and back.

He looked at the withered scene around him, and then looked around at the empty Xu Mansion, inexplicably recalling Xu Yin's panic and confusion when he was chased and intercepted.

If Xu Yin was desperate, then he himself had fallen into a trap.

If it was Yang Yi who saved Fu Zhen, what hope did he have? What else is there to do? How could he possibly return to Otsuki? !

There was a sadness in his heart, everything was going against his will.

However, it was clear that there was a dead end ahead, but he was still unwilling to give up!

"How many thunder bullets do you still have?"

The two guards looked at each other, reached into their arms, and took out a few ammunition: "There are four more in total."

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's already dark today. Let's sneak under the city gate. When the city gate opens at dawn, we'll fight our way out!"

Since the plan had failed, of course he would try his best to rush out.

Even if he died on the way, he would at least have a chance to escape.

"No need to wait for dawn! Your death is now!"

As soon as the verbose words fell, the closed door was knocked open with a bang, and dozens of torches rushed in like a meteor shower. At the same time, countless heavy footsteps also rushed in like a flood. Got it!
The torch light illuminated the young general walking at the front. With such a threatening posture, it turned out to be Cheng Chili who had been chasing them for half a day!

Cheng Zhili strode to the entrance, held the sword at his waist and stopped. His eyes were wide open with murderous intent, and he didn't say any nonsense:
"Get him down for me!"

He gave the order, and the men and horses behind him immediately divided into two groups and rushed forward!

The two guards still drew their swords to fight, but they retreated continuously until they hit the back wall. A book shelf standing against the wall collapsed and hit his back, crushing him down without any effort. !

"You're a worthless thing! You're already on your last legs, but you still have the guts to go to the knife's edge!..."

When Fuzhen and Pei Zhan arrived quickly, Lian Ruan and the two guards were already tied up by Wu Hua Da and held at the side.

In the past, the lackey who acted like a fox, a tiger, and a bully around Xu Yin has now completely become a lost dog.

Pei Zhan ignored his resentful gaze and stepped forward. After tearing off the rag in his mouth, he stepped on his chest and slapped him several times until his mouth and nose started to bleed and his teeth fell out. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Drag me to Dali Temple!"

"Wait a minute!" Fu Zhen stepped forward quickly to stop him, and then asked Lian Ruan: "Why do you dare to return to Beijing?"

Lian Ruan licked the blood spurting from his mouth and bared his teeth without answering her.

Fu Zhen asked again: "I can guess even without you speaking. All the information that Xu Yin knows about our emperor's eldest son was provided by you. You met our emperor's eldest son in Dayue!"

"This time you risked your life to come to Beijing because of him, right?"

Lian Ruan still didn't say anything, but the waves that quickly surged in his eyes revealed his answer.

Fu Zhen already knew this, straightened up and said, "You have indeed become Lian Yang's person!" After saying that, she turned to Pei Zhan and said, "You can take him away."

The guards nearby were already eager to try. After seeing him waving his hands, they immediately rushed forward and dragged him out.

It wasn't until the courtyard was cleared that Cheng Chili quickly turned around and rushed to Fu Zhen: "I heard, boss, that you were ambushed by this person named Lian? How was it? Were you injured? Damn it! I should be with you. together!"

"I'm fine! But now I suddenly thought of the three people at Yingpan Town Baozi Shop!" Fu Zhen turned around suddenly, "You said that you checked all the strangers in the town last night and there was nothing suspicious about their origins. That means these people They are all innocent people.

"But the three people at Baozi Shop this morning must be related to Lian, and their actions must be cooperating with each other! Then why didn't you find them?"

The conversation stopped both Pei Zhan and Cheng Chili. The two looked at each other, and Cheng Chili immediately clapped his hands: "That's right! We searched the whole town inside and outside last night, why didn't we find anything? Those people named Lian?
"Since these people named Lian have escaped the search, it's not surprising that there are others who have escaped the search!"

Pei Zhan looked at him instantly: "You and your brother are responsible for searching in this town. Didn't you find anything strange at all?"

Cheng Chili stood there and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly turned sharp and he said, "I remembered it! Everything else was fine after checking, except for one thing that was wrong. I dared to go elsewhere without bothering to investigate further!"

"Which place?!"

"There is a tofu shop in the town. When we came in to search, everything was as usual, but there was a room in it. The shopkeeper said that no one was living in it. However, I found that the oil lamp that was out in this unoccupied room was hot and the wick was still a little bit hot. Hot! If there is no one living in the house, why is there a lamp that has just been blown out?"

Pei Zhan frowned: "Why didn't I hear you talk about it?"

"Last night there was chaos and chaos all night. There are several places that are more suspicious than this place. My brother and I found no problem in searching the information, so I didn't take it to heart! If the boss hadn't mentioned this, I would have thought Don’t get up!”

Before he finished speaking, Fu Zhen had already turned around and walked out: "Instead of talking here and talking, why not just go and have a look! Old Seven will lead the way!"

……

After a day and night of manhunt, there was no peace in the entire Yingpan town.

The crops this season have just been harvested, and all the people are now gathered in the fields at the east end of the town.

The tofu shop was also about to be emptied and searched. Lian Yang quickly put on bunting clothes and transformed into an inconspicuous farmer.

The guard in the same costume quickly told him what he had just learned: "Pei Zhan was summoned to the city in a hurry last night. I don't know what happened. No news from the capital came out at all."

Lian Yang kept inserting daggers, thunderbolts and other firearms into his body without stopping: "Are the retreat routes and vehicle codes ready? Can they be foolproof?"

"Everything is ready! The general can withdraw at any time!" After the guard responded, he asked: "There is no news from Lian Ran yet, has the general decided to leave now?"

"Do you think there is a chance of coming back alive after going here for so long?" Lian Yang glanced at him, picked up a broken mirror, looked at it, and then discarded it, "He's just a traitor, I have no intention of waiting for him. But if I don’t let him make such a fuss, how can I have a chance to retreat?”

The guard suddenly realized: "General's brilliant plan!"

After speaking, he hesitated: "But Yang Yi's whereabouts are also not clear. We came to the capital after many twists and turns just to intercept him. If we leave now, it will be like a wasted trip."

"It's better to run in vain than to be caught by Pei Zhan!" Lian Yang glanced at him and held a piece of the road in his arms, "The soldiers of the Gyeonggi Camp have dug three feet of ground within a fifty-mile radius of Yingpan Town as soon as possible. If Yang Yi was still here, even if he didn't take the initiative to expose himself, he would have been searched out long ago.

"Don't forget the purpose of his coming to Beijing this time. When the critical moment comes, he will never make himself unhappy!"

"General, what you mean is that Yang Yi is no longer here?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Lian Yang glanced at him and then signaled: "Let's go!"

A master and a servant walked out of the door and leaped to the backyard like phantoms.

Fu Zhen and the others rushed to the town at high speed, and it was already dawn.

All the people gathered in the fields, and almost no one walked on the streets.

They barely paused and headed straight for the tofu shop.

The door of the shop was ajar, and Cheng Chili kicked it open. A donkey at the foot of the house suddenly screamed, and a man in his forties came out of the house to greet him.

Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan then entered the door. Cheng Zhili had already grabbed the man's clothes and dragged him directly into the room he had checked last night.

"Who lived here last night? Tell me!"

As the words fell, the riding crop was whipped on the door panel on the side, and a deep mark was left on the tung wood door panel.

The man's knees weakened and he slid to the ground with a crash: "General, spare your life, General, spare your life!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you to death!"

The riding whip immediately circled the man's neck. At this moment, as long as he grabbed one end of the whip and pulled hard, his head could be cut off in an instant!

"The common people don't know who that person is. He just said he wanted to stay with me for a few nights. Many people came and they gave him a lot of money. The common people didn't dare to refuse!"

"That's an imperial prisoner. If you harbor an imperial prisoner, you will punish the three clans. Do you know that?!"

"The common people don't know, the common people don't know! I only know that the leader always sleeps with his clothes on. He can escape at any time without leaving any traces. How can the common people afford to offend such a person?!"

Fu Zhen looked around: "Where have they gone?"

"……left already!"

"When did you leave?"

"An hour ago!"

An hour?
Fu Zhen quickly withdrew his gaze, and Pei Zhan stopped looking around.

"No matter what, chase him from all four sides!" Pei Zhan ordered his followers, then coldly glanced at the man.

Fu Zhen asked: "What do they call each other? What does the leader look like? How many people are following him?"
