Crown Sword

Gong Yangyue did not catch up to Chutong, the lightness kung fu around the roof and beams of the house is more effective, and the other party has been in Chang'an City for many years, every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree is engraved in his heart, and he is familiar with and utilizes the terrain , It can’t be done by rote memorization.

Chao Chen ran out from another fork and met him, "How?"

"ran away."

Chao Chen pondered: "Even due to the convenience of the terrain, it shouldn't be so far behind. It can be seen that his lightness kung fu is comparable to yours."

"Cunning as a fox, body and spirit as a kite." Gong Yangyue recalled the body movements, picked up the fallen leaves on the wall, pinched the stalks and rubbed them, and couldn't help laughing, "Just now you are in the alley below, you should also I have bumped into it twice, do you feel that this brisk kung fu seems familiar?"

Hearing what he said, Chao Chen got up seriously and thought about it seriously.

From time to time, a cool black shadow really flashed in my mind—it was outside Dunhuang City. Shuang Li went to the temple to seek solutions, but was almost caught by Hu Erlian. Because of a misunderstanding, Populus euphratica fought with Gongyangyue, and the woman dodged like this at that time.

"You mean, Fanxi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bright and pretty figure rushing past the exit of the long street. Judging by the attire, it was undoubtedly Shen Yuan.Chao Chen murmured inwardly, wondering why she was forgotten at the inn, so before she had time to think about it, she twisted Gong Yangyue and followed in that direction. This time, she followed to Mingguang Palace behind Guanqian Street North Gate.

There is an ice store near the open channel outside the north gate, which is stored in winter, closed in spring and autumn, and used in summer.

Today, for some reason, the icehouse was not guarded, or in other words, the guards had all died a moment ago. Shen Yuan stepped on the bloody water, gasping for breath, and went straight to Zhongcang.

There is a narrow passage behind the copper ring gate, which can go down to the cellar where ice is stored.

"grandfather!"

The moment the giant door was closed, a familiar figure from the back flashed inside. Shen Yan had watched it for more than ten years, and he could not tell the difference when he was a child. It was Tu Sanyin.

She shouted and roared, venting all the grievances and sorrows in her heart at this moment. She understood why Tu Sanyin sent her to the Caotai team, and also understood why he left her the money for selling himself and all his belongings, just because he had to complete a difficult task. His assassination is precarious, and he may die at any time.

——"Grandpa, grandpa!"

Shen Yuan rushed to the icehouse in desperation, the stone road was slippery, his feet slipped, half of his body entered, faster than running, Gong Yangyue frowned, and with a light kung fu, he rushed forward to pull the person, the people lying in ambush in front of the door Drilling out in an instant, the sword greeted one after another.

"Chao Chen!"

Gong Yangyue grabbed Shen Yuan's hand, flung it out, and threw it to Chao Chen who drew his sword and then fought, but when he moved and changed, he was replaced.

At this time, the mechanism fell completely, and after a loud bang, the heavy door was locked.The sight in the inner cellar was dim, except for the sound of freezing ice and dripping water, there was only a frivolous slap of the tongue, and a slight inaudible sigh. Obviously, the confrontation people did not expect this situation.

The cold wind was blowing on the face, making goosebumps on the skin, Gong Yangyue covered her forehead with her hands to adapt, and vaguely discerned two blurred shadows.

Outside the ice cellar, Chao Chen rushed to the door, trying not to push it away, but at first he heard the roar of the wind in his ears, and immediately turned around and swung his saber. To catch the throats of the people who were in ambush just now, a single pull of the dagger can kill them.

Chutong was also among them, and after he breathed his last, he pulled out the short thorns on his neck neatly, swung his arms, and ejected the blood flowers, with a relieved pleasure on his face——

The reason why he keeps assassinating Qian Yinzhou is not only to avenge his old revenge, but also to paralyze the "partner" who has been trying to subdue the "mustard dust net" for his own use. They would think that there are other arrangements, and Chang'an has always been under their control.

At this moment, they turned their backs.

"You? It's you!"

Seeing him walking towards him, Chao Chen recognized his appearance, and his expression froze immediately. He rested the knife on his arm, and made a gesture of raising his hands, ready to strike at any time.Chutong's waist was wrapped with a white cloth, with blood oozing faintly, it was obviously a new addition, Gong Yangyue had explained that position when we met, and he would not admit his mistake.

However, Chu Tong just glanced lightly, pointed at the corpse on the ground and said: "As far as I know, before Tu Sanyin entered the 'Not Seeing Chang'an', he used a fishing rod to cross Wuyue. Old man, even the Taoist leader Xuan Zhi of the 'Bei Luo Xuan Mansion' is slightly inferior. It's just because he has been in hiding for 30 years, but there are few legends in the world, and when the Chang'an massacre broke out, no one thought of him for the first time."

"By the Bashui River, he was hit by a mandala. Either a strong man cut off his wrist, or he failed to save his life. Now it seems that he should have chosen the former. It is really not easy. He can continue to fight with a broken hand and injured fingers. It can be seen that even with the The terrain held him back, and it would not be easy to kill him. The safest way is to do it yourself and watch him die. Obviously, the owners of these corpses are still inside."

Chao Chen was terrified when he heard that, this person deliberately brought out Jian Gu and Taoist Xuan Zhi, and mentioned "I don't see Chang'an", it can be seen that he knows a lot of inside stories, even if he is not a person who "breaks the army", he probably has a lot to do with him There are thousands of connections, but what he did just now is clearly not like an enemy, so there can only be an explanation of internal strife.

It's a good time for the enemy to fight among themselves.

Chao Chen immediately lobbied: "Your Excellency is nothing more than begging for life from the black hands behind these corpses. Since the purpose is the same, why don't you join hands with us? Gongyangyue is inside, as long as we work together—"

Before the words were finished, all the black-clothed warriors behind Chutong had dispersed, guarding both sides of the Qianjun Gate. Shen Yuan got up from the ground, hid behind Chao Chen, and asked timidly, "You guys, what are you going to do?"

Chutong leaned over and scooped up the stone with two fingers: "You two didn't notice, isn't this iced water?"

Chao Chen was astonished, took a deep breath, and suddenly became embarrassed: "It's fire oil..." He raised his head in panic, and looked at the man in front of him: "You want to repeat Qing Boxuan's assassination and set fire here? The icehouse can't be ignited! "

"Of course I know that it can't be ignited. The government's place may not be burned cleanly. If the momentum is too loud, even if it doesn't leave a tail, can it be possible to stay here forever and prevent every fish that slips through the net?" Chu Tong Covering the chapped wound, he tapped his fingers around one by one, "To tell you the truth, here, there, and there... there are gunpowder that you can't imagine!"

As long as it is bombed with fire and thunder, the ice cellar is dug deep and the bottom is hollow, even if no one can be killed by the blast, once it collapses, the place will instantly become a tomb, and only burial and suffocation are waiting.

There is no one who knows Chang'an better than the "Mustard Dust Network" who once served Fu Jian. As early as when the man in white hooked up with them, they had already planned to push the boat along.

Shen Yuan cried hoarsely: "No, grandpa is still inside, open the door, open the door!" Taking advantage of the distraction, Chao Chen waited for an opportunity and rushed to break through. In the past, Gongyangyue's training made him even if he had no internal strength, he could still practice. Physically, however, he was quite tyrannical, and this breakthrough really opened a hole.

"Brother, open the door quickly!"

Shen Yan turned around and rushed over, hugging Chutong's waist, to buy time for him.

However, in order to prevent the cold air in the icehouse from dissipating, especially after the beginning of spring, the condensed ice would melt. The Qianjun door was locked and could not be opened by manpower.Chao Chen was good at it, but they were so numerous that it was hard to tell them apart.

"Don't waste your efforts, I promised, if you don't hurt the two of you, go if you are sensible!"

Chutong watched him fight, pressed down on the short thorn, resisted the urge to strike, only tried to clasp his fingers tightly, and struggled away from the woman who was tightly holding his back.But what he didn't expect was that this fragile girl could use all her brute strength to shake her three times, but she couldn't twist it away.

Shen Yuan couldn't get distracted, so he could only keep shouting: "Open the door, open the door!"

Chao Chen was alone and lacked strength, so he stopped making killing moves. Instead, he held the hard worker around his neck and forced him to push and pull the huge winch together.People are the most soft-hearted in the center of threats, and in order to earn that breath, they really stretched out their hands tremblingly.Seeing that scene, Chutong couldn't help feeling flustered: "Don't open the door, no one is allowed to open the door—"

He didn't care about promises and pity, and he hit Shen Yuan's wrist with a knife, and only heard a "creak" sound, and directly dislocated her arm.

Shen Yuan suffered from pain, and his right hand dropped.

Chutong walked forward quickly, striding forward, shouting, and fell into a madness: "Chang'an belongs to us, any thief should die! What's not to see Chang'an', what Canglang fishing, what Yao Qin Tianwang, everything Damn it!"

The word "death" was full of affection, and Chutong burst into tears, holding up the golden bell in his hand, intending to throw the bell as a sign, and at the same time light the fire.

"do not want!"

Chao Chen turned around, but was entangled, Shen Yuan rushed forward reluctantly, grabbed his arm with his good left hand, opened his mouth to bite, and threw his whole body at the bell.Chutong was angry, and kept hitting her chest with her elbows, and when she flew out, she threw out her five fingers, trying to catch a piece of clothing.

It's a pity that the fingers curled up and didn't catch anything, only brought out a piece of light and fluttering feathers.

Chao Chen murmured: "This feather..."

To be precise, it is a kind of feather ornament, with pearls and emeralds running through the tail, and the lanyard is made of gold-wrapped silk, if it falls on the waist, it has the beauty of restraining steps, but judging from the position where it just fell, it is hidden in the sleeve instead of Clearly, the statement is most likely a status symbol.Most importantly, they have all seen this feather——

Chu Tong stared at Luo Yu, her body froze.

Chao Chen stretched out his hand to hold it, and suddenly remembered that Shuangli once mentioned that Wen Daweng's disciples used it to pass on messages. Could it be... no, who in this world has seen the real Wen Daweng?Maybe this old man known as the world's best is just a man-made image, Chao Chen shook his head, his face was really weird, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Chang'an, the organization that collects information, can only think of the former one——

"Mustard dust net?"

Chu Tong heard the sound and glanced back, his eyes were serious, his pupils shrank, and there was a bit of loneliness mixed with panic.

Seeing his appearance, Chao Chen knew that his guess was correct. Although he didn't know how Shuangli was related to them, but considering how much money she had made for it over the years, he also knew that the connection was very close, so he decided to bet. With one hand, he yelled at him: "If Gongyangyue dies, Shuangli will definitely hate you to death. Even if not, the enemy lurking in the dark in the North Kingdom is by no means the only one here. Shuangli, who is closely related to Gongyangyue, must bear the brunt of it!"

"No, no!" Chutong showed a strange smile, "With that man around, he will arrange everything. If even he cannot be preserved in the world, even if Gong Yangyue is alive, it will not help..."

Chao Chen anxiously asked, "He? Who is he?"

But Chutong stopped answering, and slowly lowered his arms, closing his eyes with satisfaction: "When things come to an end, no one can get away—ignite the fire!"

----

Inside the ice cellar, Gongyangyue snapped her fingers, breaking the murderous and cold air on her face, bringing a touch of humor to the solemn atmosphere.Afterwards, the torch was ignited, and tiny flames danced in his palm, appearing very fragile.

The old man holding the fishing rod was standing face to face, his ravine face was covered with blood, his back was slightly bowed, his muscular hands were bent inwards, his wrists were trying to restrain himself from shaking, it was obvious that he was at the end of his strength, and he fought against him The white-clothed man in his hand held a magic knife and his back was facing Ramyue. When the door was closed, he glanced sideways, revealing a perfect profile.

Mustard seed rebellion?

If it was really a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, he still underestimated Liuxing General's loyalty to Qin Tianwang Fu Jian, and underestimated the courage and means of "Mustard Dust Net", but so what?He didn't care at all, it's because everyone knows the truth of the "Sly Rabbit's Three Caves", why didn't he have other plans when Chu Tongzang stayed behind?

If the conspiracy fails, then they will use each other, and if the use fails, they can only cross the river and tear down the bridge.

He has been lurking in the south for so many years, and he should have a lot of management and layout. Now Jiangzuo, Yangzhou, or more accurately, the current Luoyang battlefield, the last move should also show its power.

As long as you proceed step by step, why worry about the golden cicada getting out of its shell.

----

outside the ice cellar,

After the shadow of the tree, Bai Lian flew down, twisting Chutong's hand, and a woman in white swept down from behind the wall, and when she landed, she grabbed the weapon in her hand tightly. , with a sneer.

Chao Chen recognized her appearance, and his voice could not stop trembling: "I recognize you, are you Lan Yin?"

"No, I'm Xuguo." The woman took out a long practice scroll and took out a pearl from her bosom. The pearl was held up by her helping hand, and the fire that illuminated the human face also reflected the fluttering butterflies in the pearl. In this world, there is only one.

When the double carp fell into the water in Yangzhou, it was lost.

Xuguo caught the beads back in his palm, and shouted loudly at Chutong——

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look, what is this!"
