This is not a good thing.
The four people had no choice but to go in but were stopped by the tightly closed city gate. As they became more and more impatient and could wait no longer and were ready to force their way in, the city gate opened.
Rushed over with joy.
However, they didn't expect to face the sword crossbows placed on the city wall. When the four of them saw it, they were in trouble.
Without any hesitation, he turned and left.
Arrows rained down from the sky, and those who ran slowly were still shot in the shoulder. The person who was shot groaned, staggered, and fled in panic, covering his wound.
Only after they ran to a safe place did the four of them dare to stop. The remaining one even drew his sword, took off his clothes and applied medicine on his wounds.
They really didn't expect that the Taoist not only predicted their ambush, but also mobilized the troops in the county to shoot them with crossbows.
If they were not so skilled, they would have died there long ago.
Those who survived were very grateful, but along with that, the mission had failed, and it would be difficult for them to just go back like that.
"If the priest asks us, we will say that we were ambushed. The Taoist calculated our actions and used himself as bait to lure us into the trap."
"Is this possible?" Although a person like Priest Qu is not omnipotent, he can still know a lot of things if he asks the spirits.
"Put the blame on him and say that we were betrayed and attacked," the man who was shot by the arrow treated his wound. His lips looked pale and he said as he put on his clothes.
There is no other way.
After the four of them agreed, they sent a pigeon letter back to Zhao State and delivered it to Priest Qu.
It had been several days since Qu Lingxian received the letter. Knowing that these people did not get Li Lezhi's head, his gentle smile faded a little. He burned the letter in his hand. It was just as he thought. He had no other thoughts. The other party was very powerful and was even better than him.
How could such a trick be hidden from the other party? However, he still underestimated him.
Li Lezhi, Qu Lingxian shouted in her heart.
This Daliang man was not as simple as he thought. He dared to use himself as bait to plot against the stronger assassins in Dazhao, disregarding his own life. Such a person was a formidable enemy.
Wanting to take someone's life is not an easy thing.
If you want to take down the other party, you can only move the people around him first, capture the person he cares about the most, and let this person work for Da Zhao.
Thinking of the scene where Dazhao became even more powerful after Li Le only worked for it.
Qu Lingxian did not hesitate and began to ask Ling. This time, what he wanted to ask was who was the person that Li Le cared about.
This was the first time he asked, but Qu Lingxian didn't get the answer, and Ling didn't tell him. However, he had vaguely sensed the name, but for some reason, he couldn't sense it clearly.
This was his first time...or not really the first time. Whenever he met Li Lezhi, some strange things would always happen.
Qu Lingxian thought that Li Le only cared about someone he didn't care about. When she was feeling embarrassed, she suddenly got the answer from Ling: Li Le only cared about his apprentice.
After getting what he wanted, Qu Lingxian immediately arranged for people to capture the other party's disciple and bring him to Dazhao. Before he could go looking for people, he met Prince Yin.
The two sides decided to join forces to deal with Li Lezhi. Therefore, after Prince Yin learned from Qu Lingxian that the person Li Lezhi cared about was his apprentice, he instantly knew who those two people were, and even knew that they were in Yangzhou City.
If there is only one apprentice, it is not difficult.
Compared with Qian Xi, the son of Qian Zhuo, Gao Mingli in Da'an County was easier to invite. Therefore, Prince Yin sent someone to Daliang Yangzhou to bring the person here.
…
After Li Lezhi and Xiao Wu entered the city,
I immediately went to find the county magistrate (w)?
After he calculated (w)?
Those who want to kill him will follow closely behind him.
Therefore (w)?,
After Xiao Wu took out the Lihuo Order? [(w.)]?▓Come here?&??&?Read the latest chapter&?full chapter? (w)?,
The county magistrate immediately cooperated.
According to Li Lezhi's instructions, there were no mistakes. The county magistrate did not go to the city wall, but he also heard from several soldiers that, just as Taoist Li said, there were indeed assassins from Zhao waiting outside the city, trying to sneak into the city.
When the assassin saw the crossbows on the city wall, he turned around and ran away. The number of people was the same as what Taoist Li had calculated, which further confirmed that the other party was an assassin from Zhao State.
After knowing that the other party had escaped, the county magistrate felt somewhat regretful. This was a great achievement, but it was a pity that he had run away.
Li Lezhi and Xiaowu left from another door and headed towards the capital. Because of the obstruction of the county town, Li Lezhi later calculated that the four people would not find his trace, which made Li Lezhi feel relieved, and this trouble was finally solved.
As for seeing the scenery of various states along the way, Li Le had already forgotten about it. Compared with his life, those scenery were not worth mentioning.
Secondly, the safest place in the world is still the capital. For the sake of his life, he should rush to the capital day and night.
By the time he arrived in the capital, quite a while had passed. Only when Li Le stepped on the land of the capital did he feel a sense of security.
The long journey must have worn out his body.
Therefore, after returning home, Li Le first boiled some hot water for himself, took a good bath, and then fell into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for several hours, it was already afternoon the next day when Li Le finally recovered. When he woke up, Xiao Wu also pushed open the door with a steaming basin in his hand.
Li Le only saw this scene and still had some disbelief. He looked over suspiciously, looked at the basin in Xiao Wu's hand, then looked at Xiao Wu and asked, "Are you still here?"
Didn’t go back to report?
Xiao Wu put the things down, shook his head, and nodded: "I will take care of you."
"..." Li Le wanted to say no, but after spending some time with Xiao Wu, he didn't want to chase him away. He stood up and stretched out his hand to take Xiao Wu's hand, saying, "I can do it alone. Thank you for your help."
Seeing that Xiaowu didn't let go, Li Le just looked over suspiciously.
Xiao Wu then slowly loosened his hand, frowned twice and said, "Protect you."
Li Le just put the things down and asked while washing: "You mean, His Majesty sent you to protect me?"
"Um."
After knowing that it was sent by the emperor, Li Lezhi didn't worry about it anymore. However, his house was small and he and his apprentice usually lived there. Now with Xiaowu joining the group, Xiaowu would have no place to live.
As for the apprentice's room, Li Lezhi was unwilling to arrange Xiaowu into the apprentice's room, but asked Xiaowu: "Where do you usually sleep?"
"..." Xiao Wu was silent for a while, then said, "On the beam."
Most of them did not sleep but squatted on the beams, always alert and paying attention to the movements around them to prevent anyone doing evil from entering the hall.
"How can that be possible?" Li Le immediately refused. It was so cold, and he would freeze to death if he slept on the beam. He didn't have any charcoal fire in his room.
Li Le just said: "You sleep on the couch over there."
Xiao Wu looked in the direction Li Lezhi pointed and saw the couch by the window. He was silent for a while, feeling a little conflicted. Logically, he should obey Taoist Li's orders, but he had never seen any secret guards sleeping on a bed when protecting their master's safety.
This made Xiaowu not know what to do, and he just hummed.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, and Xiao Wu immediately said, "I'll go open the door."
In an instant, the other person disappeared. Li Le just shook his head slightly. After tidying himself up, he slowly walked out the door. As soon as he walked out and stood under the eaves, he saw that the tree where he usually lay was covered with snow, and the thick snow bent the branches.
When he was about to go over and touch them, he saw a group of people coming in from the corner of his eye. There were more people than he had imagined. He then looked at the person leading the way behind Xiaowu and he seemed familiar.
Li Lezhi hadn't opened his mouth to ask yet.
The eunuch said, "Master Li, why don't you accept my order?"
