Chapter 1098 Rescued

The masked man ignored Changsun Wuji and directly pulled the trigger and shot the crossbow arrow.

Changsun Wuji was stunned. He watched the crossbow arrows flying closer and closer and was about to hit him. His mind went blank.

At the critical moment, Li Junxian swung his sword and blocked the crossbow arrow.

Four or five guards also returned at this time, guarding Changsun Wuji behind them. They knew that if something happened to Changsun Wuji, they would be in trouble too.

The prisoner was rescued, but Chang Sun Wuji and a group of Shangguan officials resisted Li Feng's pressure.

Because the guards withdrew, several robbers rushed to the execution platform and cut the ropes of Yanhuo and the others.

After Yan Huo was free, he said: "The imperial reinforcements will arrive soon. Let's withdraw."

"Yes." The masked man who rescued responded.

The masked man came to Yanhuo holding a crossbow and said: "I'll cut off the queen, you guys leave quickly."

"You have to evacuate safely." Yan Huo said.

The masked man also said: "Don't worry, I can do it."

Changsun Wuji finally came to his senses and told them to escape. He immediately shouted: "We can't let them escape. They killed Li Feng and the murderer."

"Protect Mr. Changsun," Li Junxian said, then charged forward with his sword in hand. He also knew that Yan Huo and the others could not be rescued, otherwise they would also be punished.

The masked prisoner pulled the trigger, and two crossbow arrows shot out from the crossbow. The two crossbow arrows were aimed at Li Junxian's chest and right foot respectively.

"clang."

Li Junxian used his sword to block a crossbow arrow that hit his chest, but he did not dodge the crossbow arrow on his right foot, and his right foot was directly pierced by the crossbow arrow.

At this time, the masked man threw away the crossbow in his hand, turned around and ran away.

"Don't let him run away, catch him quickly." Changsun Wuji said.

A group of guards all gave chase. Because there were no living enemies in the entire execution ground, they could rest assured to chase Yanhuo and the others.

Changsun Wuji came to Li Junxian and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Li Junxian said, and pulled out the crossbow arrow without saying a word.

Because the crossbow arrows were pulled out, there were two bloody holes on his right leg, which made people feel very painful just by looking at them.

Li Junxian looked at the two blood holes where blood was flowing. He tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes and casually wrapped them around the wound a few times to bandage it.

Then he stood up, but as soon as he stood up, he lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.

"Poison... poison... there is... on the arrow..."

Before he could say the word poison, Li Junxian passed out.

Changsun Wuji quickly shouted: "Doctor, go find the doctor quickly."

At this time, Yu Chigong had already brought people to support him and saw that the scene was in a mess.

"Where is the prisoner?" Yu Chigong asked.

"They are running forward, Yuchi, hurry up and lead people to chase them." Changsun Wuji pointed at the direction in which the assassins were escaping and shouted.

"You two stay, the others and I will go hunt down those assassins."

Yuchi Gong nodded, asked his two cronies to stay, and then led the others to chase the masked man and the others.

Fang Xuanling immediately ordered the guards to carry Li Junxian to the doctor.

…

In the palace, after Li Er learned the news, he was furious. He immediately ordered all the city gates to be closed, and then went from house to house to search for the assassins.

"Bastard, in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are assassins hijacking the execution ground. This does not take the court or me seriously at all." Li Er roared angrily.

In front of him stood a group of generals and officials.

Hou Junji, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the consort Li Feng was killed, and the person who was rescued today is the murderer of the consort."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "That's a rumor. Li Feng is fine. Hou Junji, I order you to arrest those murderers. In addition, I will inform you to arrest all members of the Maitreya Sect."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hou Junji responded.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, there was no run on the bank today. I think this is because everyone believes that Li Feng is fine. I think we can take this opportunity to arrange the bank, even if there is a run."

It can be solved quickly.”

Li Er nodded and said, "Let you and Tang Jian handle this matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian responded at the same time.

Wei Zheng said at this time: "Your Majesty, the stock market is not in trouble. The princess and the others will help the court guard it. They all said that they will not let the hard work of the consort become a tool in the hands of others to destroy the Tang Dynasty."

Li Er sighed and said: "She is indeed my daughter."

Afterwards, he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you, and please remember that Li Feng is fine and he is not dead. No matter who asks you, you must answer this way.

In addition, conduct a comprehensive search for Yanhuo and the others, and inform them that as long as there is any news about them, regardless of life or death, the imperial court will reward him with one hundred thousand taels of gold."

The ministers present were all shocked by Li Er's decision.

The reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold and silver is an astronomical figure, equivalent to one million taels of silver and one million taels of copper coins.

If you get this kind of silver reward, you can spend a lifetime even if you lie in bed.

After the officials got the news, they conveyed the order as soon as possible. For a time, the whole of Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty went crazy about it.

Whether it's a ranger, a group of gangsters, or even some underworld gangs, they all started to look for Yanhuo's group of people, and even affected the Maitreya Cult.

Yanhuo and the others have completely become street rats at this time.

…

In an empty cave, there are bright torches in all directions and braziers in the middle, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

This cave is the headquarters of the Maitreya Sect.

A snow-white man wearing a silver mask sat on the throne of the leader. Below him stood a group of senior Maitreya cult leaders. They were the four Vajras, the eight protectors, the sixteen Arhats, etc. mentioned by Yanhuo and Li Er.

.

"Reporting to the leader, there is news from Chang'an that Yanhuo has appeared. And the imperial court is offering a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold, life or death," said a member of the cult.

When this news came out, everyone in the cave held their breath. Everyone knew who Yan Huo was, and they also knew that Yan Huo's status was higher than that of Han Bing.

Everyone wanted to see the expression of the man in the silver mask and get some news from the expression, but Han Bing had always been wearing a mask, so everyone couldn't tell what Han Bing was thinking.

After everyone waited for a long time, Han Bing finally spoke.

"Inform all the members of the Maitreya Sect to find the deputy leader Yanhuo and be sure to protect his life."

"Yes." All the congregants said in unison.

Soon, Han Bing was the only one left at the scene, and Han Bing was the only one in Nuoda's cave.
