The porter just rested, had to get up quickly, and hurriedly opened the side door, but he was surprised. He saw an open flame outside the door holding a staff, reflecting the light on the armor, and someone came to the door with soldiers.
"Do you recognize it?"
Xue Bai went straight forward, holding a wooden sign in front of the concierge, and said smoothly: "You are doing business in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I want to ask you, will Ji Dalang come back today?"
"No, no, Dalang has not returned home since he left the house in the morning."
"Does the Ji family have another house in the Dongshi area?"
"The villain doesn't know."
At this moment, a group of people hurried over with lanterns and shouted: "This is the old residence of the Tang Dynasty. I am Xin Si, the manager. May I ask the superiors, what happened?"
"I am a disciple of the right prime minister and a close friend of Ji Dalang." Xue Bai handed over the token again and said: "Jifacao is handling a major case tonight, involving the East Palace. I heard that the East Palace sent dead men to do harm to Ji Dalang, and I urgently need to find him.
."
"What?! How could this happen?"
"Did Jidalang go to Dongshi today?"
"Yes, I left the house in the morning."
Xue Bai said: "What happens next?"
Xin Si was anxious and said: "After Dalang went out, Wang Dalang sent someone to invite him and asked him to accompany him for a drink."
"Which Wang Dalang?"
"He is the young master of Wang Langzhong's family." Xin Si unconsciously whispered a lot.
Xue Bai just listened to his tone and realized that it was Wang Zhun, Wang Zhen's son.
This father and son can actually make everyone fear them.
"Where to drink?"
"Qingmen Kangjia Restaurant."
"Has Dalang gone?"
"Wang Dalang has invited me, and I dare not neglect it. I quickly sent someone to Dongshi to inform Dalang." Xin Si turned around and called a servant, "A Chou, you say."
"The villain rushed to the East Market and asked a familiar vendor along the way. He said that Dalang had gone to his villa in Xuanyangfang. The villain hurried over and happened to see Dalang unloading the truck in the yard, so he invited him to Qingdao.
I will accompany Wang Dalang."
"Then what?"
"The elder gave the villain a whip and left immediately."
"You come with us and lead the way to Xuanyangfang Villa."
Tian Shenyu kept holding the knife on her waist, and she was already prepared to interrogate someone. Unexpectedly, before he could react, Xue Bai had already finished his sentence.
He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the slave named A Chou and pushed him onto the horse.
Tian Shengong grabbed two lanterns and got on his horse.
The four people came and left just as quickly, whizzing by.
~~
Guangdefang is in the west and belongs to Chang'an County; Xuanyangfang is in the east and belongs to Wannian County. But they are both located in the north of the city where powerful people live, on the same side street.
Speaking of which, Pingkang and Xuanyang's second square are to the west of Dongshi; Daozheng and Changle's second square are to the east of Dongshi.
Tonight, all forces have gathered in this area.
~~
Xue Bai, the leader, hurried to the northwest corner of Xuanyangfang. Suddenly he saw a bright torch in front of him. Someone shouted to him: "Who is there? Is it illegal?!"
Hearing the sound, Xue Bai rode over and asked, "Is this General Guo on the other side?"
"Haha, it's Guo!" Guo Qianli drove his horse out, "It turns out to be Xue Langjun."
The two of them were getting close. Guo Qianli leaned over from the horse, came up to Xue Bai, and whispered: "How can you let others take the credit? I have to lead people to do big things." p>
Xue Bai said angrily: "I was trapped in Jingzhao Mansion by Ji Wen."
"Damn, what a thief!" Guo Qianli cursed, quite annoyed.
"Right Prime Minister, where is Jiwen?"
"I'm busy. It's such a big thing. Before the paperwork comes down, I have to lead people to surround it. Damn it, You Xiaowei is already ahead."
"General Guo is busy first. I will go see the right minister myself."
"Okay."
Guo Qianli was very anxious and drove away.
Xue Bai waited by the roadside, waiting for Jinwu Guard to pass by like water.
After delaying this for a while, he was still calm on the face, but he was already a little unbearable in his heart.
She turned around and looked again. Under the firelight, she saw that Du Jin's lips were turning white from anxiety.
Finally, Jin Wuwei left.
"Let's go."
However, they did not go north to Pingkangfang, but rushed south to Xuanyangfang.
~~
Tian Shenyu drove her horse and turned into an alley.
What he was thinking about was what Xue Bai had just asked him in private.
"Dare you kill someone?"
"Look what Mr. Lang said, since I have become a soldier, why should I be afraid of killing people?"
"Okay, starting tonight, remember how many heads you have saved."
Ahead, A Chou has already knocked on the courtyard door.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Who?"
"I, Ah Chou, the manager asked me to come find Dalang."
The courtyard door creaked open, and a man in green clothes poked his head out. He was startled and said, "What's wrong?"
"Under the right Prime Minister's door." Xue Bai stepped forward and showed the token of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying: "I am a close friend of Wang Dalang, and I have something important to do."
The big man in green clothes didn't recognize this thing and said: "Da Lang is not here."
"The Prime Minister ordered me to take away the people I got today."
"Okay, come in and talk..."
Suddenly, someone arrived from the courtyard and shouted: "He is Xue Bai, stop him!"
The big man in Tsing Yi quickly closed the door.
"Fight in!"
When Tian Shenyu saw that the courtyard door was about to be closed, she heard Xue Bai's command. Without thinking too much, she pulled out the knife and stabbed him.
"Pfft."
The waist knife passed through the crack in the door and plunged deeply into the chest of the big man in green.
Blood splattered all over Tian Shenyu's hands. His mind became hot, but he grinned, kicked open the courtyard door, and kicked the body hanging on the knife to the ground.
The knife was pulled out from the corpse, and blood spurted out immediately.
Just then, a row of big men in Tsing Yi rushed to the front yard and were stunned.
"Where is the lady you abducted?!" Xue Baihe asked.
"This is an official residence! How dare you?!"
When Tian Shenyu saw that the other party dared to stop him, he immediately became ruthless and rushed towards him with a knife and slashed him.
He is highly skilled in martial arts and is wearing armor. He kills ordinary people just like chopping vegetables. Tonight, with Xue Bai's promise, once he lets his hands and feet loose, he will look extremely ferocious.
But the other party was just an ordinary nurse, and three of them were chopped down in the blink of an eye. One of them was still alive and howling incessantly. The others were so frightened that they turned around and fled to the backyard.
Tian Shengong's face looked ugly. He didn't know how Xue Bai would end up in the future, but his brother killed someone, so he could only go to the dark side.
He moved quickly and knocked a nurse to the ground with a flying kick. He slapped him hard with his backhand and beat him half to death. Then he picked him up and yelled: "Where is he?!"<
/p>
"After, behind..."
Xue Bai rushed to the backyard without saying a word.
Tian Shenyu ran faster, chasing the guards and hacking at them.
Tian Shengong asked, gritted his teeth, twisted his hand, and with a "click" sound, he broke off the nursing head in his hand.
When I turned around, I saw that A Chou had collapsed to the ground in fear and was crawling out of the courtyard gate.
Tian Shengong sighed slightly, stepped forward, and stabbed the slave to death.
He bolted the courtyard door and then chased to the backyard.
But this is actually a mansion owned by Twelve Jin. The slaves fled in all directions, and he couldn't stop them at all.
Suddenly, there were screams everywhere.
"Second brother." Tian Shengong caught up with his brothers and said, "The ones who just heard Lang Jun's name were killed."
~~
"Pfft."
The blood splashed on the window paper looked very sad when illuminated by the moonlight.
Two fat nuns who were guarding outside a wing were so frightened that they screamed and fell to the ground. They didn't know where to go.
Xue Bai stepped onto the stone steps and kicked open the door of the wing.
"Woo! Woo!"
There was a whimpering sound from behind the screen, and he rushed over to take a look, only to see Du Wei being tied up and sitting on the ground.
He quickly stepped forward to remove the veil from her mouth and untied the rope from her body.
"Xue Bai, Xue Bai."
Du Wei cried a little, but surprisingly, she was not frightened to collapse this time.
"Quick, the Ji family has forged your identity and will kill us..."
"Sister! Are you okay?!"
Du Jin rushed into the side room and met Du Si. Her nervousness finally subsided a lot. She immediately felt that her legs were weak and she quickly held on to the screen to stand still.
"I'm fine." Du Wei leaned over Xue Bai and let him untie the rope. She spoke quickly and said: "The deed of being a lowly official slave must have been forged by the Ji family, and the slave Yalang was the one who asked him to forge it.
The appearance is all based on your writing, saying that you are Xue Pingzhao, the concubine of Xue Xiu."
Xue Bai looked around and saw that although the bruise on Du Mi's hand was deep, there was no other damage. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who is Xue Xiu?"
"He is also the Xue family of Hedong, a descendant of Hedong Gong, and the consort of Princess Tang Chang. Xue Xiu came from a distinguished family, and his family was a prince, so the consort had no plans. No need to elaborate. The key is that he was framed by Li Linfu and sentenced to death for the crime of treason.
”
Xue Bai frowned.
He didn't even consider whether Jiwen would believe Li Linfu if he sued him. Given Li Linfu's character, if he knew that he might be the son of his enemy, how could he have the patience to wait for careful investigation before killing him?
There is also the Du family, and Li Linfu will not let it go, because the Du family was saved only by Xue Bai's intercession.
"Hurry." Du Wei said again: "Xin Twelve has taken away Nu Yalang to file a complaint."
Xue Bai did not leave immediately and fell into deep thought.
Without stopping, he untied the rope for Du Wei and unconsciously rubbed her ankle.
Du Wei was stunned for a moment and looked around. Seeing that he was thinking very seriously, she shrank her feet and rubbed her wrists.
"Er Niang." Xue Bai finally said, "You come to finish things here and take the aunt back."
Du Jin's face was a little pale, and he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "You killed a lot of people, how do you plan to explain it?"
"No matter what, I have a way to explain it and let the Tian brothers send you back."
"What about you?"
"I have to stop them."
Du Jin stepped forward and whispered: "Let the Tian brothers go with you."
"No need." Xue Bai said: "This thing... they can't do it."
"You can't do it alone."
Xue Bai glanced at the sky and asked Du Jin, "What time is it?"
"It's Haishi."
Xue Bai looked at her and said, "Go."
Du Jin understood his train of thought a little bit, bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally said: "You must be careful."
She wanted to do something else, but was unable to do anything. She reached out and patted Xue Bai's forearm twice, helped Du Wei up, and walked out.
The two sisters whispered and walked toward the door.
"Sister, please support me, lower your head, and don't look around."
"Not so delicate."
Du Wei couldn't help but look back, only to see Xue Bai standing there thinking...
~~
The night is getting deeper and it is not yet midnight.
On the street outside the East City, dense footsteps sounded, armor clanked, and more and more Wuhou ran towards the southwest corner of Changlefang.
You Xiaowei secretly guards the north wall of a large house.
Someone grinned in the night and said, "Let me just say that Yang Shenjin has always been reluctant to do things for the Right Prime Minister. If you think about it carefully, it can only be that he is harboring the dead men of the East Palace."
"Joining the army is right. I have seen that there are many big men in this house, and they must be killed."
"We'll talk after we get their weapons. Did you bring the sack?"
"Hey, how can I forget the guy who ransacked my house?"
"..."
On the Beifang Gate of Changlefang, on the fire-watching tower, the light of the torch shook a few times.
Across the deserted street, the fire watch tower at the South Gate of Daozhengfang also raised a torch in response.
The wind blew across the rows of roofs, and some people climbed up the stairs at night, looking at the Chang'an moonlight with their hands behind their hands.
Below the attic, tough men wearing sackcloth and mourning are loading cars.
Suddenly.
There was a series of "crack" sounds, and the sound of gold and silver was loud.
"Be careful, aren't you afraid of being heard?"
"Hey, I'm not afraid."
Jiang Hai grinned, revealing two rows of teeth in the moonlight, with an expression like a wild wolf.
He leaned over to pick up a pile of weapons that had been knocked to the ground.
Armor, long-handled swords, bows and arrows, crossbows, shields... were wrapped in linen and thrown on the cart.
"Tuoba, I still think it's better to wear armor than this dead man's clothes, just in case someone stops you along the way. What do you think?"
"Mr. Pei has made arrangements, and no one will stop you."
Jiang Hai thought to himself that if anyone dared to stop him, he would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue his brother.
The sound of a night watch sounded in the distance, echoing in the alley.
"Dang!"
An official in green robe walked down from the small attic and said calmly: "I'm sure everything is fine, let's go."
The courtyard door was opened, and the first batch of six big men drove away in a carriage.
The night was still deep, and the green-robed official soon disappeared into the darkness along with the second carriage.
There are no accidents tonight, everything is going well.
The watchman at Daozhengfang is still doing his watch leisurely.
"Dang!"
"Zi Shi! Close the doors and windows, be careful of candles!"
"Dang!"
"Zi Shi! Chang'an will be safe and sound for ten thousand years!"
Jiang Hai threw down the long-handled sword, got on the carriage, and sighed. The white breath he exhaled was like some of his murderous aura that had nowhere to vent was overflowing.
