The leader in black hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we are not members of the government, stop it."
Liang Quan said fiercely: "Then who are you? What are you doing hiding here?"
While the two were talking, the government officials also came over and the situation turned into a three-way melee.
The leader in black hurriedly said: "We are here to ambush someone, and it has nothing to do with your affairs."
Liang Quan saw that these men in black were vicious and killed several of them in an instant. He was secretly frightened and said, "Stop, everyone, run deep into the dense forest!"
The two parties mingled together, fighting with the government officials while escaping deep into the dense forest.
The man in sackcloth suddenly saw his brother running to a dead man in black, taking off his black clothes and putting them on himself.
He followed suit and found a dead man in black clothes and changed into a black suit.
In this dark night, it was much easier to escape wearing black clothes. After a while, a group of men in black successfully escaped, leaving only a group of salt gang members entangled by the government officials.
The man in sackcloth was also mixed in with the men in black. He could no longer tell who Liang Quan was, so he could only run away as fast as he could.
After walking for another hour, the men in black fled to a valley. The leader in black gasped and asked, "How many of us have died?"
"Eight people died!" the deputy leader replied.
The leader in black said angrily:
"These abominable idiots from the Salt Gang actually brought trouble to us and ruined our plan. What if Zhou Shang passes by the Nanfeng Inn now!"
The deputy leader hesitated and said, "Then do we want to turn back?"
The leader in black shook his head and said: "If the old man who was beaten is really the governor, Shangzhou will probably hunt down the Salt Gang disciples. Because of these idiots, we may also be mistaken for being members of the Salt Gang."
"Then what do we do?"
"In this case, let's go back to Chang'an first, bypass Shangzhou, and go to the Yangtze River Wharf to wait for Zhou Shang."
The deputy leader nodded in agreement, and the group headed north to Chang'an.
As soon as they came out of the canyon, the leader in black's face changed drastically, and he saw a group of Jianghu people blocking their way at the intersection ahead.
All of these people looked evil and had murderous intentions on their faces.
There were three people in total. The leader in black recognized their identities at a glance and said through gritted teeth: "Han Yi, Tang Anshi, Lei Bao, what do you want to do?"
Han Yi said coldly:
"Yang Long, you not only violated the rules of the road and killed someone in Chang'an City, but you also committed the murder in Zheng Lingxuan's home. We can't spare you!"
The leader in black gritted his teeth. He knew that Zheng Lingxuan was Senior Sister Zhou Shang, and she was also the adopted lover of Changping County Prince Wu Chengsi.
Needless to say, these people must have been sent by Wu Chengsi!
Tang Anshi, who had always been smiling, turned extremely cold at this moment, with a cold light in his slender eyes, and said coldly: "Yang Long, your wife, children and men will all pay the price of blood because of your stupidity.
"
The man in sackcloth among the men in black was frightened and frightened.
After finally escaping from the pursuit of the government officials, how could I expect to encounter such an obstacle again.
I don’t know if he would let him go if he took off his black clothes and said he was a member of the Salt Gang.
He glanced around and thought to himself: "My eldest brother is more knowledgeable than me. Since he has not revealed his identity, there is no point in exposing his identity now."
The leader in black, Yang Long, was also horrified. The three people in front of him were all underworld bosses, and any one of them had martial arts far superior to him.
It's absolutely impossible to fight head-on.
Although these people were cleansed, they were from the underworld after all, so it was useless to plead for mercy.
Thinking of this, he said nothing and led his people back to the valley quickly, heading back to Shangzhou.
However, as soon as he reached the other end of the valley, a shower of arrows came towards him.
Yang Long hurriedly swung his sword to knock down several arrows that were shot at him, but the arrows were too dense, and two of them still hit his shoulder and thigh.
At first, Yang Long thought it was the Yamen servants from Shangzhou Governor's Office who were chasing him.
However, upon closer inspection, there was actually a cavalry army of hundreds of people in front of them!
Damn it, even the army was dispatched.
Is this the consequence of offending top powerful people?
Yang Long's heart went straight to the bottom.
After looking around, there were only seven people left standing on our side. The rest were either shot to death by arrows or killed by Han Yi and others.
The man in sackcloth was among the seven people, and he wanted to curse more than Yang Long.
Damn it, who did these men in black offend? They were actually hunted down by the army.
If I had known this, I really shouldn’t have changed into this black leather!
Yang Long believed that this army was also sent by Wu Chengsi.
It wasn't until today that he truly saw the ferocity of these powerful people.
It was just that he killed the wrong person in the lover's home. Instead of killing his lover, he actually sent out the army to kill them all. How fucking inhumane!
Despite the scolding, he actually felt a trace of regret in his heart.
If I had known this, I really shouldn't have accepted this deal.
Just when he and the man in sackcloth were regretting in their hearts, Master Tang An behind them also looked slightly panicked.
When facing the people in the green forest, he was fierce and ruthless, but when facing the army, he was less courageous than anyone else.
"Hey, Lao Lei, Lao Han, it seems they are the Jinwu Guards, and the leader is Li Jingye. What should we do? Do we want to withdraw?"
Lei Bao was also a little uneasy. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Old Han, they won't attack us, right?"
Han Yi curled his lips, glared at the two of them, and said, "Look at your prospects, what's there to be afraid of? Li Jingye is just a Jinwu guard general."
Master Tang An's heart moved and he said with a smile:
"That's right. Our Han Cheng is now not only the commander of the guards of the county prince's palace, but also the lieutenant general of the Qianniu Guard. How dare Li Jingye do anything to us?"
Han Yi was extremely proud, strode forward and shouted: "Is this General Li Jingye?"
Opposite Li Jingye was also looking at Han Yi and others. He was ordered by King Pei to track down the murderer of Zheng Yuanning's maid.
The maid Zheng Yuanning was lurking around Di Renjie as a spy and was accidentally killed. They could not make this matter public.
Therefore, Li Jingye is also more cautious when taking actions.
"Who are you? Are you with these killers?" Li Jingye replied from a distance.
Han Yi glared and said: "General Li, you can talk nonsense, but you can't talk nonsense. I am Han Yi, the former guard commander of Changping County Prince's Palace, and my son is Han Cheng, the lieutenant general of Qianniu Guard. Do you recognize him?"
Li Jingye was slightly startled and asked, "Do you have any credentials?"
"Even if there is, why should I show it to you?"
Li Jingye's face suddenly darkened, and a deputy general beside him said angrily: "General, why bother talking nonsense with them? Just shoot them to death!"
Li Jingye remained silent.
On the other side, Han Yi also realized that he had gone too far, so he quickly picked up Wu Chengsi's tiger skin and said:
"To tell you the truth, His Highness the County Prince asked me to investigate these killers. They killed people at the Prince's friend's house, so I want to arrest them and bring them to justice for the County Prince."
Li Jingye's heart sank. Although he also had an order from King Pei, this matter was a secret and King Pei would never admit it publicly.
Moreover, since his sister has now become the princess of the county, he is not willing to offend Wu Chengsi too much.
"In this case, the bandit leader will be left to you, but I also need to take a few people back for questioning."
Seeing that the other party gave in, Han Yi grinned and said, "Easy to say."
In the end, four killers including Yang Long were taken away by Han Yi, and three other killers were taken away by Li Jingye, including the man in Mai.
When Li Jingye led the team away, Tang Anshi smiled and said:
"Old Han, let me make a bet with you. All the people Li Jingye took away will be poisoned and die within three hours. Do you believe it?"
Lei Bao laughed and said: "So, these guys have all taken the poison?"
Master Tang An nodded with a smile.
Before the Tang family opened its medicine hall, they were the most famous poison users in the world. It was only after the founding of the Tang Dynasty that they became clean and good.
Han Yi glared at Yang Long and said, "His grandma, although you guys don't understand the rules, you are very good to yourself."
Yang Long's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Since we are in this business, we have already put life and death at risk!"
Tang Anshi sneered and said: "Boy, if you fall into my hands and want to die if you don't tell the truth, it's not that easy!"
As he spoke, he pinched his chin, fed him a pill, pushed it on his chin, and made him swallow the pill.
Lei Bao said: "Old Han, the prince's army is not far from here. Should we capture this kid and sacrifice it to the prince?"
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Wu Chengsi.
Han Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this be done? His Royal Highness is busy with everything, so how can he have time to care about such a trivial matter? After we torture him, we can send him directly to Dali Temple."
So the group escorted Yang Long and returned all the way to Chang'an City.
