Just when Gao Lishi was about to leave, Li Siye was already ready for a hard fight. He quietly changed his direction and position, ensuring that he could restrain a Jingzhao Mansion soldier and seize the weapon with one strike.
At this moment, Yang Hui and Luo Xingchang were just talking when Li Siye suddenly got angry and kicked a Jingzhao soldier down. He pulled the knife out of his body and was stunned. It turned out to be a wooden knife used for training.
He then swung the blade and struck another Jingzhao Mansion soldier horizontally on the face. The force was so strong that the blade broke in two, and the soldier fell to the ground with bloody molars spurting out of his mouth.
Zhang Xiaojing also had a seizure at the same time. He jumped up and knocked down a soldier, using his knife and scabbard as weapons.
Luo Xingchang, Zhao Mu, Zhang Hong and others were frightened and hurriedly ran up to the hall and hid behind the pillars.
Zhang Hong stuck his head out and shouted to Zhang Xiaojing in pain: "Zhang Xiaojing! Why are you joining in the fun! The person the prince-in-law wants to kill with a stick is Li Siye, so quickly put down your weapon and stay out of it!"
Zhang Xiaojing held the knife across his hand and said loudly to the three people in the hall: "What Li Siye did just now is exactly what Zhang Xiaojing was planning to do. Now that we are both caged birds, our lives are tied by a thread, so we naturally have to join forces.
Fight for a way out!"
The Prince Consort Yang Hui originally escaped from the cross-courtyard gate, but this time he returned with his men. It was the servants of the Prince Consort's Mansion mixed with some soldiers of the Jingzhao Mansion. Each of them held a long stick in his hand and puffed out his cheeks.
The canthus is about to split.
Yang Hui rolled up his sleeves and shouted loudly: "The two of them broke into the princess's house secretly! Come up and beat them to death! If anything happens, I, Yang Hui, will be responsible!"
The servants rushed over shouting and waving sticks. Li Siye didn't wait for them to surround him and rushed forward. After receiving three sticks on his shoulder, he grabbed the stick from one of them and started swinging it.
When he was a kickboxing boxer, he had never used long weapons such as guns and sticks, but now that he was holding the long stick in his hand, he had a familiar feeling, as if he had the essence of using the stick in his muscle memory.
He swung the stick horizontally and vertically, sometimes holding the stick in both hands to block, and sometimes jumping forward to hit the enemy's head. Zhang Xiaojing also rushed over and snatched a stick from the person he knocked down.
The two were shoulder to shoulder, one defending and the other attacking, or alternately defending, but no one could get close.
Zhang Xiaojing looked around, his pupils suddenly shrank and said: "Siye, your physical strength is amazing, go ahead and open the way, I will protect your back!"
"Okay!" Li Siye gritted his teeth and laughed.
The consort Yang Hui knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly hid from the battle group and called for more servants to come over, still shouting: "Beat me, Yang Hui will be rewarded heavily if you kill me."
Li Siye rushed out from the East Crossing Courtyard and beat him out. He swung the stick at a fast speed, but he ran even faster, running like a headless fly through the Prince Consort's Mansion.
"They are going to the west! Chase them quickly!"
The two rushed to the edge of the pond in the back garden. A pavilion leading to the west courtyard spanned the pond. The top of the pavilion was covered with sparkling green tiles, reflecting the waves of the water. There were lotus leaves on the water surface, swaying like maids in costumes, occupying the pond.
Half-faced, the scenery appears pleasant from both sides.
Li Siye and Zhang Xiaojing fled side by side into the pavilion. Here they occupied a good location. The servants rushed into the pavilion and were beaten and picked up by Li Siye with sticks. They were swept into the lotus pond, causing splashes of water.
Even the silver carp at the bottom of the water were frightened and were tumbling on the surface of the waves.
Several servants who had fallen into the water were struggling and floating in the pool. The servants blocking the corridor were holding sticks and eager to try, but did not dare to move rashly.
Yang Hui stood not far away and shouted anxiously: "Quick, go around the pond and run to the other side to block them!"
He then directed Luo Xingchang: "Go and give orders to the guards in the mansion to close all the doors tightly and don't let a fly go!"
Li Siye ran to the end of the pavilion first. He stepped on the floor with his feet, causing the wooden board to sink slightly. He held the stick in one hand like a strong wind sweeping in.
Zhang Xiaojing held the stick with both hands horizontally and followed Li Siye backwards quickly. As soon as the two of them rushed out of the pavilion, they were intercepted by two groups of people rushing around the lotus pond.
Li Siye became fierce and fierce. He knocked down several people with his stick and then fought and retreated. He retreated along the stone path in panic.
The servants were pressing hard, and some wanted to get behind him from the side, but Zhang Xiaojing rushed left and right and swung his stick to intercept him.
Li Siye suddenly felt someone behind him, the sound of tiny footsteps approaching. He didn't have time to distinguish the footsteps carefully, so he just thought it was a servant coming, so he ran away quickly, picked up the stick and swung it towards the back.
"No!" The prince consort let out a heartbreaking cry, and his legs suddenly became weak.
Li Siye suddenly dropped the stick head, and suddenly saw a woman standing with a high bun on her head and wearing a gorgeous dress. He grunted and stopped his force, and the stick stopped three inches above the woman's double-ringed bun.
This woman has a pretty face, with plum blossom makeup on her forehead. She wears a peony-colored narrow-sleeved blouse, a bright yellow butterfly pattern floor-length skirt, and a pink gauze hanging from her shoulders and wrapped between her arms.
She was so frightened that she stood solemnly on the spot with her eyebrows narrowed. She didn't know whether it was because she was so frightened that her body was numb, or because she was born with such a calm and immovable demeanor.
When Zhang Xiaojing heard the consort's scream, he guessed the woman's identity and immediately went up to restrain her.
Yang Hui ran forward in panic, shouting: "Let her go! Li Siye, Zhang Xiaojing, I will spare your life!"
"I'll let you live! As long as you let her go, I'll let bygones be bygones!"
Luo Xingchang sighed helplessly. The prince-in-law was in a hurry and made a mistake. Li Siye and Zhang Xiaojing may not know the identity of the princess yet. He was so nervous and eager, but it made the two of them emboldened.
Li Siye put his long stick on the ground and said coldly: "Now we are in the consort's house, surrounded by your servants. If we let her go, she will still die."
Zhang Xiaojing put a wooden stick against the princess' chin and said: "Prince-in-law, please don't worry. When we get to a safe place, we will naturally let the princess go and we will never let her get hurt."
These words were more of a threat than a promise. Yang Hui was worried and angry, and gritted his teeth and said: "If you two dare to hurt the princess, I guarantee that you two will be cut in half and abandoned, and you will be miserable!"
The long scar on the right side of Zhang Xiaojing's face was distorted by his smile: "The law of the Tang Dynasty is written, everyone has to evade it, and those who hold people as hostages will be killed. It is already a capital crime for the two of us, let alone kidnapping the saint's most beloved Xian Princess Yi, she has already died, so why should she be afraid of being cut off in half?"
Yang Hui regretted for a moment. He said the wrong thing just now. If these two guys were really provoked to murderous intentions and coerced the princess to die together, wouldn't it mean that Yang Hui's life would be taken away from him.
"You two have something to talk about!" Yang Hui knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his hands and begged: "As long as the princess is safe and sound, I will definitely not hold you accountable. Everything that happened here today, we will pretend that it never happened. How? ?”
"In addition, I, Yang Hui, will give you a hundred gold coins as a gift!"
Li Siye and Zhang Xiaojing were just stalling for time to choose an escape direction. They knew very well that Yang Hui's promise was nothing more than a cannon. Once they lost the hostage in their hands, they were guaranteed to die miserably in the next moment.
Behind them is the courtyard to the west. Although they don't know if there is a way out, they can only take one step at a time.
"let's go."
This time, Zhang Xiaojing escorted the princess and led the way, while Li Siye followed closely behind him with a big stick. Everyone in the Prince Consort's Mansion did not dare to act rashly and could only hang at a distance. Everyone's face was filled with panic and fear, as if they were mourning for a concubine.
It turned from livid to pale.
He chased at the front with bare hands, and even his calm steps became staggering and messy, and his heart was already in chaos.
Zhang Xiaojing helped Princess Xianyi retreat into the courtyard. Li Siye took the opportunity to step forward and close the courtyard door tightly and bolt it.
