"Many thanks to Marquis for showing mercy!"
On Guiyi Lane, Du E, who had just escaped death, bowed to Li Zexuan.
At that moment just now, he really smelled the scent of death. He was very sure that if he didn't surrender and admit defeat, Li Zexuan's sword move would absolutely pour down on him without holding back. And with his True Qi exhausted, facing this incomparably swift and fierce sword move, he would absolutely die without a doubt!
Until now, Du E's heart was still in a state of shock! It was too dangerous, too dangerous! In that instant just now, he had really walked one round around the gates of hell!
Li Zexuan pursed his lips and did not speak, because at this time, Liu Rengui's side had also finished the battle. They were escorting the four core disciples of Heavenly Dragon Sect over here!
"Venerable One, what do you mean by this? Do you want to betray the sect? "
When everyone arrived in front of Li Zexuan, before Liu Rengui could speak, the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciple he was escorting angrily spoke to Du E!
The rest of the Heavenly Dragon Sect people were also shocked and angry.
Heavenly Dragon Sect was their big family, and Du E was their faith. Now that their faith had betrayed their big family, how could they not be angry?
While they were angry, their hearts were also crumbling!
Du E ignored the angry gazes of these four people. He straightened his body and restored his previous dignified appearance, saying lightly, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Dragon Head, for his own selfish interests, ordered this Venerable One to bewitch the people into joining the sect, committing treason and heresy, harming the common people. This is truly a heinous crime! Now that Heavenly Dragon Sect's fate has come to an end, why don't you follow this Venerable One and abandon the darkness for the light? "
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Li Zexuan's face from the corner of his eye. In the end, he wanted to rely on practical actions to curry favor with Li Zexuan and strive for Li Zexuan's forgiveness. After all, Li Zexuan only spared his life temporarily, but never said that he would let him go completely!
To Du E's disappointment, Li Zexuan still had a straight face. He couldn't tell if he was happy or angry.
At this moment, Liu Rengui finally had a chance to speak. He cupped his hands towards Li Zexuan and said, "Marquis, this general has already broken their limbs. Moreover, this general has checked that there is no poison in their mouths. There is no need to worry about them committing suicide!"
Li Zexuan's face immediately broke into a smile as he replied warmly, "En! Very good! He immediately ordered someone to bring them back to the Supreme Court and personally hand them over to Minister Liu! This Marquis will be there soon! "
Liu Rengui cupped his fists and accepted the order, "This general obeys! Marquis, then this calamity … "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Leave him here for now. This Marquis still needs him. In a while, leave a few soldiers behind. This matter isn't over yet!"
Liu Rengui was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he cupped his fists and said, "Why don't this general stay behind and let the others escort the four of them back to the Supreme Court?"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "No need! Moreover, this Marquis will only be at ease if you personally escort them! Quickly go! "
"Then … this general will take his leave!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's insistence, Liu Rengui could only cup his fists and lead a few soldiers to escort the Heavenly Dragon Sect members away.
"Wow! Marquis, you are so powerful! "
At this moment, a clear and melodious voice of a young girl suddenly rang out from the side of the battlefield. Who else could it be but the young girl who was being chased by Du E?
In the previous battle, Li Zexuan wielded the Wind Chasing Sword and released a series of extremely gorgeous sword moves. He had been suppressing Du E all this time. He was like a peerless sword immortal, awe-inspiring and insufferably arrogant! Young people worshipped heroes, and so did young girls!
Thus, the young girl couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Li Zexuan's heart thumped as he smiled at this young girl. The girl had a pretty face and was dressed in very ordinary clothes. She didn't seem like the daughter of a great clan, but she spoke in an extremely orderly manner and was so mature that she didn't seem like a child of her age. It was probably because she had experienced far too many things in the past!
More importantly, the extremely important secret letter that Li Junxian had sent back had been delivered to him through this young girl. Li Zexuan truly wanted to know what sort of relationship this girl had with Li Junxian and how she had received the secret letter from Li Junxian!
"In the past, this young girl only knew that Marquis was a Yamachō from Yanhuang College and was extremely knowledgeable, but I didn't think that Marquis's martial arts would also be so formidable. This young girl admires you!"
The young girl quickly walked up to Li Zexuan and then bowed like an adult to Li Zexuan as she praised.
Her movements were somewhat stiff. She probably didn't do this sort of etiquette often.
Li Zexuan smiled faintly and looked at the girl thoughtfully. "Haha! If this Marquis remembers correctly, you were the one who delivered the secret letter to this Marquis at noon, right? This time, you helped this Marquis capture the Venerable of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Little girl, what is your name? What reward do you want? "
Upon hearing the word 'reward', the girl's eyes brightened and she excitedly said, "Marquis, I … this young girl's name is Chen Shuozhen. I want money, a lot of money!"
"Chen Shuozhen? You're Chen Shuozhen? "
Li Zexuan's pupils constricted and his heart shook violently. He never thought that this ordinary-looking, harmless little girl in front of him was the first woman in China's history to call herself the Empress! At the same time, Li Zexuan suddenly remembered that when he was in the north, Li Tai had told him in a telegram that he met a girl named Chen Shuozhen in Chang 'an City who helped them solve the mystery of the Doomsday Levitation Technique. Thus, Li Zexuan looked at Chen Shuozhen with a strange expression and asked,
"Didn't you use the Levitation Technique to ask a little fatty for 100 strings of coins as a reward?"
"Ah! How did you know, Marquis? "
The girl covered her mouth in surprise and disbelief, but after a moment, she suddenly understood and said, "I understand, that little fatty inadvertently called himself the Prince of Wei, and the current Prince of Wei is studying at Yanhuang College. Marquis, as the Yamachō of Yanhuang College, it's not surprising that you know about this matter!"
After saying that, her little face couldn't help but become bitter. Speaking of which, she had previously cheated money from Li Zexuan's student, so how could Li Zexuan spare her now?
Seeing the girl's expression, Li Zexuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Haha! You're really smart, little girl! Don't worry, this Marquis won't interfere in the matter between you and Qing Que, but you said that you wanted a lot of money, didn't Qing Que give you a hundred tang yuan? Isn't it enough for a little girl like you? "
Hearing Li Zexuan say that he wouldn't pursue the previous matter, the girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She playfully stuck out her tongue and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you, Marquis, for letting bygones be bygones! This little girl doesn't need the money, goodbye! Oh, by the way, the master of the Zhang family, Zhang Dekang, is the accomplice of Monk Du 'e. Marquis, don't forget to take him away with you! "
After saying that, without waiting for Li Zexuan to react, she directly turned around and left. She was really straightforward. She gently waved her sleeves and left without a trace!
Seeing this, Li Zexuan didn't force her to stay. After pondering for a moment, he ordered a soldier beside him, "Follow her and see where Chen Shuozhen lives and whether she has encountered any difficulties."
He just saw that Chen Shuozhen's eyes were pure, and she was definitely not the kind of person who was blindly greedy and unprincipled. He thought that the reason why Chen Shuozhen kept saying "money, money, money" was very likely that she had encountered some difficulties that made her so obsessed with money!
"Yes! Marquis! "
The soldier received the order and left.
Li Zexuan looked at Du 'e and said in an unfriendly tone, "Du' e, you heard what the little girl said just now. I heard that you have an accomplice? Quickly lead the way! "
"Yes! Marquis! This poor monk will lead the way for you! "
Du 'e couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew who Chen Shuozhen was talking about. At this moment, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly responded with a bow.
After saying that, Du 'e dragged his injured body and led Li Zexuan and the others to the Zhang family's house.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Open the door! Quickly open the door! "
After a while, they arrived at the door of the Zhang family's house. The Right Guard soldier beside Li Zexuan hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened, and a young man who looked like a servant walked out. He was just about to complain when he saw the Right Guard soldiers in armor outside the door. He was suddenly shocked and his attitude immediately became much better. He asked, "You … who are you? Why do you come to the Zhang family? "
Seeing that the servant obviously didn't know Du 'e, it meant that Master Zhang had done a good job of keeping secrets. Li Zexuan didn't want to waste time with the servant. He nodded to the soldier beside him. The soldier stepped forward and directly pushed the servant aside and said loudly, "The imperial court is arresting a fugitive. Unrelated people, please leave!"
"Hey, hey, hey? What fugitive? How can there be a fugitive in the Zhang family? "
The manservant stomped his feet anxiously at the side, but no one paid any attention to him. Li Zexuan and his group arrived at the backyard under Du E's guidance. Before they entered the backyard, Li Zexuan heard someone shouting anxiously from inside, "Master! Master! Something bad happened! Venerable Du 'e has been arrested. The imperial court has come to our house! "
"What? Where are they? "
"We're here!"
Li Zexuan walked in quickly and shouted loudly.
After entering the yard, he saw a servant in the backyard, who was lying at the mouth of the well and shouting inside.
Du 'e quickly explained, "Marquis, this is a dry well. I hid in this well with my disciples before. The master of the Zhang family must be inside now!"
Li Zexuan nodded slightly. No wonder he couldn't find Du 'e when he mobilized the imperial army and the Right Guard to search the whole city. It turned out that this bald donkey was hiding underground. He was really treacherous!
"Go! Bring Zhang Dekang up and take this servant with you! "
Li Zexuan ordered.
"Yes!"
Two soldiers immediately stepped forward. One of them held down the servant, and the other operated the well to pull Zhang Dekang up.
Li Zexuan turned to look at Du 'e and asked faintly, "Is there anyone else who knows that you're hiding in the Zhang family?"
He didn't want to spread the news of capturing Du 'e because once the Dragon Head of the Dragon Sect knew that Du' e was captured, he would likely hold back his troops or directly withdraw from the Snake Spirit Mountain. In this way, the imperial court would lose an excellent opportunity to catch the Dragon Sect in one fell swoop. This was what Li Zexuan and Li Er didn't want to see!
Therefore, Li Zexuan wanted to capture all the people who knew where Du 'e was hiding. These people knew where Du' e was hiding, which meant that they were absolutely loyal to the Dragon Sect. In addition, if Du 'e didn't return at night, they would definitely guess that he was captured by the imperial court. They were also the most likely to spread the news of Du' e's capture to the Dragon Sect!
These hidden dangers must all be eliminated!
"Replying to Marquis! Other than that, no one else knows that I'm hiding in the Zhang family! "
Du 'e quickly replied.
"En!"
Li Zexuan nodded faintly.
At this time, a well-dressed old man had been captured by the sergeants of the Right Guards.
"What are you doing? This old man has never done anything against the law. How can the Right Guards arrest people at will? Let this old man go! "
Previously, when Du 'e went to chase after the peeping thief, Zhang Dekang thought that with Du' e's martial arts, catching a thief would be a piece of cake. Therefore, he waited in the well for Du 'e and others to come back and continue the banquet. Who knew that Du' e did come back, but at this time, Du 'e was already a prisoner and brought a group of Right Guards sergeants. Zhang Dekang's heart was instantly filled with fear!
Zhang Deshun's family was soon alarmed. A noblewoman and a well-dressed young man rushed in. When they saw Zhang Deshun being captured, they immediately cried and screamed.
"Take them away!"
Li Zexuan didn't want to be entangled with the Zhang family too much. He waved his hand expressionlessly and Zhang Deshun and the servant were all taken out. The group went straight to the Supreme Court!
