"You, you, don't come near me. I'm the County Lieutenant of this county, an official of the imperial court. If you dare to do anything to me, the imperial court will not let you go even if you run to the ends of the earth!"
Jiang Zian's face was pale. Looking at the man in blue walking toward him, he kept retreating.
At this moment, nearly a hundred government servants and strong men he brought with him were all lying on the ground. Of course, there were not many men in black left. Only a few of them could stand steadily at this moment.
"Damn it!"
The man in blue glared at him fiercely, looked back in a certain direction, and said coldly, "Go after them!"
A few standing men in black followed behind him and rushed forward.
The remaining men in black helped each other to stand up. Those who were lightly injured carried those who were seriously injured, and soon disappeared on the street.
"Are you all right?" Jiang Zian hurriedly ran over and asked.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although these men were a little embarrassed, fortunately, they did not kill them. The most serious injuries were only some superficial wounds.
He looked up in the direction of the city gate and murmured, "Brother Li should have left the city by now, right?"
At the same time, the man in blue looked at the closed city gate and the two rows of soldiers at the gate. His face was gloomy, and he said unwillingly, "Retreat!"
On a path in the forest outside Yong County, Li Yi rode on a horse. He turned around and looked at Miss.Liu worriedly, asking, "How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine."
Miss.Liu bit her lip, shook her head, and fell from the horse.
Li Yi's face changed. He hurriedly flew down and caught her.
Under the moonlight, her face could not be seen clearly. Li Yi reached out to touch her forehead, and his face changed again.
"It's so hot!"
He turned his head and looked around. Apart from the sounds of unknown insects, the forest was quiet. He had just escaped from Yong County. It was a barren mountain and there was not even a place to stay. There was not even a shadow of a person. Where could he find a doctor?
"I'm really lucky today. That caravan looks a little small, but it's a fat sheep. I didn't expect that there would be people passing by in the middle of the night in the wilderness. I told you, Yong County is my lucky place!"
A black shadow jumped down from the tree. His shiny head was particularly eye-catching under the dim light of the night. He pointed at the scholar in front of him and said loudly, "This road is opened by me, and this tree is planted by me. If you want to pass through, you must pay for the road! Scholar, hurry up and hand over all your valuables. Oh, you even have a horse. Not bad, not bad … "
Li Yi gently put Miss.Liu down. Three breaths later, he held the bald bandit by the neck and asked coldly, "Where can I find a doctor?"
"Spare my life, Great Hero!"
The bald bandit's face was pale as he spoke in a trembling voice.
"Open your mouth." Li Yi exerted some force in his palm, and the bandit immediately opened his mouth.
In the next moment, the bald bandit felt something enter his mouth. His expression changed as he asked, "S-Great Hero, what is this?"
Li Yi let go of his hand and said coldly, "Half-step Epilepsy with a Smile. After 24 hours, if there is no antidote, you will laugh non-stop until your whole body festers, your meridians break, and your body explodes to death."
"Explode, explode to death …"
Thump!
The bald bandit's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.
Li Yi kicked him and said, "Now, lead the way!"
…
In the dark of the night, an old man covered his chest and jumped down from the city wall that was dozens of feet high.
In the end, he didn't manage to kill Taoist Nun. Although his sneak attack at the beginning was successful, it didn't achieve the result he had expected.
Taoist Nun's strength was slightly higher than his, and there was also the group of troublesome little ghosts that gathered more and more. In the end, he could only seriously injure her. When he realized that he couldn't take her life today, he took the initiative to give up.
"Seriously injuring Taoist Nun should be considered as completing the mission, right?"
The old man took out a cloth bag from his pocket and threw a piece of candy into his mouth. He felt that he had forgotten something.
He carefully filtered through the events in his mind.
According to the Second Miss, if Taoist Nun really fell for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, he should immediately leave the city and escape as fast as he could, rushing to the capital day and night.
Even if Taoist Nun chased after him, it was still not enough for him to deal with Taoist Nun alone. But with the Second Miss, he would always be in an invincible position.
If that damned Taoist Nun didn't fall for the trick, he would carry out the second plan. He would first seriously injure her, and the small fries would be easily taken care of. Then, he would escort them out of the city …
Suddenly, the old man stopped in his tracks and froze on the spot.
"Damn it!"
He slapped his forehead and couldn't help but curse.
Just now, he was only thinking about killing Taoist Nun to vent his anger, and actually forgot the most important goal …
If he couldn't bring them back safely, he wouldn't be able to complete his mission!
The old man gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly, "That damned Taoist Nun!"
…
The county magistrate of Yong County stood in front of the still burning Ru Family Inn, his face extremely gloomy.
At this time, the innkeeper was describing with tears and snot how those villains fought in the inn, and how they burned down the inn. He was a pitiful old man, and his little property was burned down in one night. How was he going to live in the future?
The county magistrate asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who did it?"
"I only remember that the leader was a Taoist Nun, and her subordinates in yellow and blue …"
The old man's confession was quickly confirmed by the surrounding neighbors.
After all, those people in strange clothes had been in front of them for a day, and it was hard not to notice them.
"It's them!"
Jiang Zian came from the side and said loudly, "Lord Wu, when I came from the county government just now, I saw dozens of people daring to kill people on the street, and the leader was a man in blue. Fortunately, I arrived in time to avoid a tragedy."
The county magistrate nodded and said, "The imperial court has sent an official document saying that Li Yi, the County Earl of Chang 'an, was kidnapped by a nun from the capital city, and may have arrived in Shuzhou. So it should be Taoist Nun."
Jiang Zian was stunned and asked, "Li Yi was kidnapped? When did this happen? "
"About a month ago." The county magistrate said, "The imperial court asked us to rescue them immediately once we find their traces. His Highness, the King of Shu, has just ordered us to report to him immediately if there is any news."
Jiang Zian seemed to have not recovered from the news. After a while, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he murmured, "Li Yi, Li Yi, I didn't expect that you would have such a day!"
After a while, he seemed to think of something, and his face changed. He asked the shopkeeper, "What does the Taoist Nun look like? Who else is with her?"
"About 40 years old, and there is a young man who always wears a white robe beside her …" The shopkeeper immediately told the truth.
Jiang Zian immediately asked, "Is his surname Fang?"
"Yes, yes! The young man surnamed Li called him 'Brother Fang', "the shopkeeper said immediately.
Jiang Zian continued to ask, "Is the young man surnamed Li Xuan?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Jiang Zian's breathing became a little rapid, and he asked, "Think about it again. Who were they with when they came?"
A shop assistant came up and said, "I remember that the young man surnamed Fang has been here for a long time. Yesterday, in addition to the Taoist Nun and those strange people, there was another young man, but, but …"
"But what?" Jiang Zian asked impatiently.
"But the young man's appearance …" The shop assistant thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe the first day was at night, and I saw wrongly. I always felt that the young man looked a little different on the second day …"
Jiang Zian stood there in a daze, and his face was blank and lifeless.
The county magistrate of Yong County looked at him and asked in confusion, "Lord Jiang, what's wrong?"
"Nothing …" Jiang Zian shook his head and said, "Lord Wu, I just fought with the bandits and consumed too much energy. Now I want to be alone, so I'll leave this place to you."
After saying that, Jiang Zian turned around and left, his back lonely and bleak.
The county magistrate of Yong County watched him leave, his face full of shock …
The cold moonlight shone on Shuzhou, on Yong County, and on a dried-up well in a courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time.
"Is there anyone …"
The man surnamed Fang was lying at the bottom of the well with a swollen face. He looked up at the mouth of the well and said weakly.
Beside him, a few people in blue and yellow, who had either broken arms or legs, looked up at the sky and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Is there anyone …"
"Save us …"
"Goddess, save us …"
