Li Honghan did not make up his mind immediately, and said hesitantly: "But this may not be of any benefit to us."
Zhang Ziqian chuckled and said: "It may not be good for us, but it is a deep blow to Hu Xiaotian. One thing will go down, the other will go up. I don't need to explain such a simple truth."
Long Xiyue came outside accompanied by Xiaorou. When Liang Yinghao saw the two people coming out, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Why is your highness the princess coming out?"
Long Xiyue smiled gently and said: "Brother Liang, I seem to hear someone coming outside?"
Liang Yinghao nodded. Just now, the group of people from Xichuan entered the ruined temple. They were making a lot of noise and neighing. Long Xiyue was inevitably alarmed. He reported the situation outside to Long Xiyue truthfully.
Wang comforted her and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. We have made arrangements and can handle any situation. Although he was confident in what he said, he was also a little nervous. After all, he didn't know what the motives of the Xichuan group were.
Long Xiyue frowned and said, "You mean they already know our identities?"
"good!"
Long Xiyue said: "If I guessed correctly, the real purpose of Zhang Ziqian's coming just now was to test, and he should have concluded that Mr. Hu is not here."
Liang Yinghao said: "Probably not. Zhan Peng only said that the master has rested and it is inconvenient to disturb him."
Long Xiyue said: "Zhang Ziqian is known as Xichuan's number one counselor, and he is also Li Tianheng's most loyal subordinate. We must be more careful."
At this time, Zhan Peng came to the two of them and saw Long Xiyue present. He stopped talking. Long Xiyue said: "It doesn't matter. Brother Zhan, just say whatever you want. There is no need to worry."
Zhan Peng clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness Princess Qi, I just sent someone to patrol outside through the back door, and I saw a figure on the road behind. I'm afraid those people in Xichuan want to do something bad to us."
Liang Yinghao said angrily: "This is still on the territory of Tianxiang Kingdom. Do they really have the courage to attack us?"
Long Xiyue said: "Power and ambition can make people unscrupulous. I heard that Xichuan has long been interested in obtaining Hongmuchuan. Last year, he sent envoys to Piaoxiang City. He proposed to join forces with Tianxiang Kingdom to destroy South Vietnam. After success,
They only took two pieces of land: Hongmuchuan and Xanthium Sea, and the rest of the land belonged to Tianxiang Kingdom. The Queen Mother saw through their plot and believed that their real intention was to use Tianxiang Kingdom to open a southward passage, so she did not hesitate
After rejecting them, Li Honghan’s ultimate intention when he came this time was still Hongmuchuan.”
Both Zhan Peng and Liang Yinghao began to feel solemn in their hearts. If Hongmuchuan is so important to Xichuan, then Li Honghan's trip can be said to be a waste of water. In despair, jealousy will inevitably lead to hatred. With Zhang Ziqian's wisdom, he should
It has been deduced that Hu Xiaotian is not here. If they want to harm Long Xiyue and achieve the purpose of revenge and attack Hu Xiaotian, tonight is definitely the best time.
Zhan Peng and Liang Yinghao exchanged a look. The two of them walked aside to discuss in low voices. Liang Yinghao suggested: "It's better to do this. I will take a few brothers and leave through the back door. If these people want to harm us, they will definitely
Following them, we started a duel with them in the dense forest of Lianyun Mountain. I just discovered that all the eighteen Arhats in the Arhat Hall have hollow abdomens. They can be hidden by digging them open. Zhan Peng, you protect Her Royal Highness and hide in them until we wait.
Leave after it’s safe here.”
Zhan Peng shook his head and said: "The twenty brothers are still under my command. We will lead those people in Xichuan away, and you will take care of the princess."
Liang Yinghao still wanted to fight with him. Zhan Peng couldn't help but said: "This matter has been settled, there is no need to discuss it further."
Liang Yinghao could only nodded. He lowered his voice and said: "Our biggest advantage is that although the other party may guess that the master is not here, they do not know the number of people on our side. So we can fight with them while ensuring the safety of the princess.
Give it a try.”
Zhan Peng said: "Take care of yourself."
Liang Yinghao whispered: "Remember, take Zeng Xiaorou with you and leave."
Zhan Peng was a little surprised and said: "You doubt her?"
Liang Yinghao said: "After all, she is from the Xu family. The young master asked me to be more vigilant about her on the way. What's more, Zhang Ziqian is old and cunning. If there is no woman in the team, he will probably deduce our plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhan Peng nodded. He glanced at Long Xiyue in the distance and said, "I'm afraid the princess may not agree."
Liang Yinghao said: "There is no need to tell the truth to the princess. You go to Xiaorou and tell her that we will divide the army into two groups and let her escape with you. I will tell the princess."
After the two decided on their plan, they walked towards Long Xiyue and Xiaorou respectively.
Zhan Peng's guess was good. When Long Xiyue heard that Zhan Peng was going to take Xiaorou away, she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Why would you let Xiaorou take the risk for me?"
Liang Yinghao lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, to be honest with you, Zeng Xiaorou is a spy of the Xu family. She has always used the trick of killing people to sneak into us. The young master has already seen through this because he wants to use this clue.
He knew some of the Xu family's secrets, so he used the trick. He didn't want the princess to worry, so he never revealed the truth to the princess." In fact, Liang Yinghao didn't have any evidence at all. What he said was just to help Long Xiyue make up his mind early and let the princess know the truth.
Zhan Peng takes Xiaorou and leaves.
Zhan Peng and Zeng Xiaorou said something else. Zeng Xiaorou immediately understood his intention after hearing what he said. She actually nodded without hesitation and said, "I understand what General Zhan meant. Xiaorou will just leave with you."
Zhan Peng felt a little sorry when he saw her agreeing so happily. After all, their purpose of doing this was to protect Princess Anping, and they did not take Zeng Xiaorou's safety at heart. In a sense, they were letting her pretend to be Princess Anping.
, I feel sorry for Xia Changming for putting her in danger and favoring one over the other. It should be noted that before leaving, Xia Changming also specifically asked him to take good care of Zeng Xiaorou.
There was lightning in the sky, and the heavy rain that had stopped for a while returned again. Zhan Peng led 20 warriors to guard Zeng Xiaorou, and left quickly under the cover of the heavy rain. While they were leaving, Liang Yinghao brought Long Xiyue to the Luohan Hall, letting
Long Xiyue hid in the belly of the Arhat with Long Eyebrows. Liang Yinghao was an excellent digger. Digging holes in clay sculptures was just a piece of cake for him. The key was to dig the hole well and dispose of the scattered soil.
, leaving no clues,
He lowered his voice and said to Long Xiyue: "Your Royal Highness, please remember not to make any sound. If I don't come to find you, you must not come out on your own."
Long Xiyue nodded, and Liang Yinghao sealed the statue as it was, leaving only a small hole for her to breathe. After everything was restored to its original state, he went to hide in the clay statue of Crouching Tiger Arhat nearby.
Zhan Peng had just left through the back door, and Li Honghan had already received the news. He whispered: "How many people are leaving?"
Zhu Jingyao said: "They should all be gone!"
Li Honghan snorted coldly and said to Zhu Jingyao: "Give me the order and catch up immediately. Don't let anyone go."
Zhu Jingyao said: "Don't worry, Major General. Chen Hu has led ten brothers to guard the only way to the west. None of them can escape."
Li Honghan strode outside.
Zhang Ziqian said: "Young general, you still need to be careful."
Li Honghan said coldly: "No matter how cautious you are, I'm afraid they will all escape. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I will leave two brothers to protect you. Just wait for our good news with peace of mind." He said to Zhu Jingyao: "You stay.
Responsible for protecting Mr. Zhang." After saying that, he strode into the wind and rain.
Zhang Ziqian looked at the direction Li Honghan left and sighed. Zhu Jingyao said: "Mr. Zhang, there is no need to blame him. The young general suffered a lot of setbacks during this trip and has been in a bad mood."
Zhang Ziqian smiled bitterly and said: "I don't blame him. I just think this matter is not that simple. I hope he will never fall into other people's tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhu Jingyao said: "Sir, don't worry, I have sent people to search the backyard. The entire backyard is empty and there is no one left."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Please accompany me to have a look."
Zhu Jingyao secretly laughed at Zhang Ziqian for being too cautious. His men had searched the backyard carefully just now. There could be no more omissions. However, he always respected Zhang Ziqian. Since Zhang Ziqian proposed it, he could not refuse. He immediately accompanied Zhang Ziqian to the backyard.
Walking away, in addition to the two of them, there were two warriors left behind. The two warriors had searched the backyard and found nothing suspicious.
Zhang Ziqian came to the room where Long Xiyue was resting just now, and saw that the bonfire in the room was still not extinguished. He shook his head, raised his head, and his eyes fell on the Guanyin statue in front of him. Suddenly, his heart moved and he said to Zhu Jingyao: "Jingyao
,Have these clay sculptures been searched?"
Zhu Jingyao asked: "Sir, do you suspect that someone is hiding inside?" He walked over, took out the long knife from his waist, and cut the Buddha statue in two with just one blow. The upper half of the Buddha statue collapsed suddenly, and smoke and dust filled the room. Zhang Ziqian covered his mouth and nose, and waited until
When the smoke cleared and I looked up, I saw that the incision of the Buddha statue was hollow.
Although Zhang Ziqian suspected that there was something wrong with the Buddha statue, he did not want Zhu Jingyao to take such a move. Destroying the Buddha statue was really disrespectful to the Bodhisattva.
Zhu Jingyao laughed and said: "Sir, you are relieved now, there is no one inside."
Zhang Ziqian shook his head, with a wry smile on his lips.
Zhan Peng led his men on horseback and galloped wildly. He suddenly reined in the horse's reins and stretched out his right hand to stop the movement. With both hands parted, his twenty warriors dispersed into two teams and hid in the dense forest on both sides of the road.
Xiaorou also got off the horse. She originally thought that Zhan Peng would lead them to escape into Lianyun Mountain, but she didn't expect that he would choose to ambush in the forest just after leaving. Xiaorou said in a trembling voice: "General Zhan, why should we stop?
Don’t you want to escape?”
Zhan Peng said solemnly: "I never thought about escaping!" He took off the horn bow from his back, his eyes were firm and convinced that Li Honghan would pay a heavy price tonight! (~^~) For mobile phone users, please visit http:/
