"Giddy up! Giddy up! Move aside! Everyone move aside! "
On the other side, Iron Egg kept slapping the horse's butt as it sped towards the Chang 'an East City Gate.
Da Bai was quite intelligent. He could sense Bruiser's anxiety, and he could also sense that his master was facing an unprecedented level of danger. Da Bai's four hooves quickly crisscrossed as he carried Don't Touch My Number One through the streets. The horse-drawn carriage was running at the speed of a war horse, and all of the pedestrians on the road made way for them as they discussed this "super war chariot".
"Whose carriage is this? Why is it running so fast? "
"Look at the style of the carriage. It's the latest Don't Touch Me No. 1 from the Strange Interest Pavilion!"
"Oh my god, this is Lord Li's carriage! Their Don't Touch Me No. 1 is heavier than the others! "
"Look at that! There's an arrow in the carriage! Hiss! Did something happen to Lord Li? "
"Ah! There's really an arrow! This carriage is running so fast. Something must have happened! "
"Ouch! Look, there's another carriage behind us! "
It was San Bao and Fu's carriage that was chasing after Iron Egg. Their horses were not as strong as Big White, so they naturally fell behind. At this moment, San Bao had fainted in the carriage while Fu was desperately trying to catch up with the carriage outside.
"Who are you? Get off the carriage immediately for inspection! "
The general of Yanxing Gate saw an aggressive carriage heading straight for the city gate. He stepped out from the crowd and blocked the way with his spear as he shouted loudly.
Although Chang 'an City was open to the outside world and citizens were allowed to enter freely, such a fast carriage could not be allowed to enter. What if it hit and injured pedestrians?
"Move aside! I'm a male disciple from Lantian County. My master was assassinated in the eastern suburbs. The situation is urgent. Please move aside! "
Iron Egg rode on Big White without slowing down at all. The carriage rumbled as it charged towards the general of the city.
"General Lonely, this is indeed the carriage of a male disciple from Lantian County. I've also seen the child in the carriage. He's been living in the Li Mansion!"
A soldier saluted the general of the city and said.
"Are you sure?"
The general of the city guard asked with a solemn expression.
Upon closer inspection, the general's appearance was seventy percent similar to Dugu Xin's. Furthermore, he showed no fear in the face of the oncoming carriage. It was as if he was confident that he could stop the carriage even if it came crashing down.
"I'm sure!"
The soldier glanced at the approaching carriage and said respectfully.
"Clear the way! Let them pass! "
The young general looked at the carriage and his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw the arrow that was embedded in the wall of the carriage. He immediately made a decision in his heart and shouted loudly.
At this moment, Iron Egg's carriage also happened to be heading towards them, whistling past.
"Thank you, General! If my master returns safely, I will definitely reward you greatly ~! "
Iron Egg's grateful voice lingered in the air.
The earlier he entered the city to call for reinforcements, the more hope his master had of surviving. Of course, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't plan to stop the car just now. If the city guard didn't make it convenient for him, he could only ram his way through.
"Liu Shengwu, quickly go to the Right Martial House and report this matter to General Niu!"
The young general looked at the carriage that was heading straight into the city and ordered.
"Yes, General!"
The soldier bowed and cupped his fists to accept the order. Then, he went to the side to lead the horse.
"Du Zhenqing!"
The young general thought for a moment and then shouted.
"This general is here!"
"Ride a fast horse and head to the Northern Yamen at top speed. Report this matter to my elder brother and let him decide!"
"Yes, General!"
Immediately, two fast horses whizzed out from Chang 'an City's Yanxing Gate and caught up with the carriage not far ahead.
With Iron Egg clearing the way, no one stopped San Bao and Fu's carriage behind. Fu drove the carriage and headed towards Yongle Lane.
Iron Egg drove the carriage in the direction of the Qin Mansion. This was because he and Han Yuxi knew that apart from Li Zexuan, the rest of the Li family's combat strength was close to zero. Now, they could only go to the Qin Mansion to get reinforcements immediately. As for going to the palace to ask Li Er for reinforcements, it was simply too late.
…
"Godfather! Godfather! "
Iron Egg brought his sister to the entrance of the Qin Mansion. Han Yuxi was considered a frequent guest of the Qin Mansion, so no one stopped her. She went straight to the front yard of the Qin Mansion.
"Godsister? Why are you here? Please come in! "
Qin Huaiyu was in the front hall. He immediately ran out when he heard the sound.
"Godbrother, bring me to Godfather. Something happened to my husband!"
Han Yuxi said anxiously with tears in her eyes.
"What? Something happened to Xiaoxuan? Godsister, don't worry. My father is in the backyard. I'll bring you there now! "
Qin Huaiyu was shocked and said hurriedly.
"No need! I'm here. Yuxi, tell me, what happened to Xiaoxuan? "
Qin Qiong happened to come to the front yard. When he heard the commotion, he quickly came over and asked.
"Godfather, go and save my husband! He met a very powerful expert in the eastern suburbs … "
…
"Your Majesty, General Dugu requests an audience! He says it's an extremely urgent matter! "
Ganlu Hall …
Li Er, who had been busy the whole day, was reading today's newspaper to relax. At this moment, an attendant came in and reported respectfully.
"Summon!"
Li Er raised his eyebrows, put down the newspaper, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Summon Dugu Xin for an audience!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Dugu Xin walked in and bowed.
"Dispense with the formalities! What's the matter? "
Li Er heard a hint of anxiety in Dugu Xin's voice, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that Li Xiannan was ambushed by an unknown expert in the eastern suburbs outside the city. We don't know whether he's dead or alive. His wife and disciple luckily escaped. They should be at Duke Yi's Mansion now to get reinforcements!"
Dugu Xin cupped his fists and said seriously.
"What!?"
Li Er's expression suddenly changed. He slammed the table and stood up. Someone actually dared to assassinate a county man at the foot of the emperor. This was looking down on his authority and slapping his face!
"Impudent! Dugu Xin, immediately lead 500 elite imperial guards out of the city to rescue him. You must protect Li Zexuan's life! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dugu Xin immediately cupped his fists and was about to go gather his men.
"Hold on! If possible, capture him alive. I want to see who ordered him! "
At this moment, Li Er was really angry.
"I'll do my best!"
Dugu Xin took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.
He knew a little about Li Zexuan's martial arts. Since that assassin could make Li Zexuan's life and death unknown, he wasn't confident of winning even if he went, let alone capturing him alive. Therefore, he could only try his best to complete Li Er's mission.
