The prosperous Bianliang City is still so prosperous and lively.
Even at night, people are still coming and going on the streets. Countless torches, lanterns and candles make this world's largest city look like a city that never sleeps.
In the dark corner where no one noticed, Li Yunze walked quietly in the deserted alley.
He was so familiar with Bianliang City that even though he couldn't run around with his eyes closed, he had no problem finding Gao Yanei's foreign residence.
Gaotou Street is next to the water gate of the Cai River. It is close to the water gate and is naturally very lively with people and boats coming and going during the day.
But at night, when the boats stop operating, it naturally becomes quiet.
Quietly avoiding several Imperial Guards patrolling near the water gate, Li Yunze, dressed in gray night clothes, arrived at the first large house at the intersection of the street.
It was very quiet outside the door, there wasn't even a sentry.
Think about it, this is Bianliang City, which has been at peace for more than a hundred years, and it is his home court of Gao Yanei, so he is naturally very generous.
Put on spike shoes and gloves.
No special props are needed, he can easily climb up the courtyard wall with just one sprint.
Scratching the courtyard wall and observing, this is a courtyard with three entrances.
The front yard was empty, except for the light on the concierge's side, and faint laughter could be heard.
With a deft turn, he landed in the yard. Li Yunze subconsciously prepared to put on the mask.
But the next moment, he smiled and put down his hand.
When you see it, you see it. It doesn't matter this time.
With a shake of his hand, a beautifully crafted hammer fell into his hand.
The concierge was opened, and a helper who had clearly drunk too much staggered out, facing the corner and trying to pour water.
‘Bang!’
After a muffled sound, Bang Xian fell to the ground softly.
When I came to the ajar door, I quietly looked inside. There were four people drinking and laughing around the stove.
Li Yunze smiled slightly, holding the hammer in one hand, and slowly opened the door with the other and walked in.
After a while, he came out again and closed the door very thoughtfully, for fear that the cold wind would blow in and freeze the people inside.
Walking through the corner door to the second courtyard, in a wing on one side, a group of gangsters who used to follow Gao Yameni to bully men and women, and who were unscrupulous were playing dice noisily, and it was very lively.
There were a lot of copper coins thrown on the table, and everyone's eyes were fixed on them with great concern. They did not notice that the door was quietly pushed open and then closed again.
After a short while, the hustle and bustle in the room quieted down.
When he reached the third entrance, Li Yunze finally saw the sentry post.
It's just that the two sentry helpers are not at their positions at all. Instead, they are hiding in the corner door, drinking wine from flagons to keep warm.
Li Yunze easily dealt with this unprepared waste.
Next, he first glanced at the main room, which was still lit, and then tiptoed towards the left wing.
There was an oil lamp's flame swaying slightly over there.
Helpers are not worth mentioning. Apart from being powerful when bullying good people, they are not worth mentioning when facing the real strong ones.
The only person who could really make Li Yunze a little more vigilant was Gao Yanei's real bodyguard, Lu Qian.
Arriving outside the door of the wing, Li Yunze slowly stretched out his hand to test the door, and sure enough, it was locked.
He took out a thin iron bar and quietly stretched it through the crack of the door, preparing to open the door bolt.
At this moment, the intuition developed from being on the battlefield for a long time gave him a flash of alertness.
He immediately let go of his hand, and his body jumped back like a spring.
An extremely sharp long knife, as bright as moonlight, stabbed out from the door and pointed directly at the position where Li Yunze was standing.
The long knife was withdrawn and the door was opened immediately.
"It's you?!"
Under the moonlight, Lu Qian saw Li Yunze's face.
Of course he will not forget Li Yunze.
Although for reasons such as face, he deliberately downplayed Li Yunze's strength when describing what happened at Fan Lou that day, he will never forget that unforgettable kick.
At that time, when Lu Qian saw the noble person in front of him, he never thought that Li Yunze would take the initiative. He was kicked to pieces without letting go of the quilt, and his bones were broken. The terrifying force will remain fresh in his mind for the rest of his life.
Now that I saw this person again, alarm bells started ringing in my heart.
Li Yunze grinned and rushed forward with the hammer without saying a word.
Lu Qian's sword skills are actually very good and he can be regarded as a master of swordsmanship.
It's a pity that just like Lin Chong, who was taller and stronger and wielded a spear, Li Yunze's hammer didn't have any tricks at all and just hit him with great force.
No matter how exquisite Lu Qian's sword skills were, he couldn't use them. He could only keep retreating and raising his sword to block.
When a knife and a hammer are smashed together, no matter how good the quality of the knife is, it cannot withstand a few hits.
As the long knife in Lu Qian's hand was smashed, he instantly lost the threat like a toothless tiger.
Without any hesitation, Lu Qian raised his hand and pointed half of the knife at Li Yunze, then turned around and headed straight for the window.
If you can't fight, run away. It's important to save your own life first.
Li Yunze didn't chase him either, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and then he raised his hand.
The hand crossbow hidden in his sleeve was activated, and three crossbow bolts shot out, all hitting Lu Qian's back.
'ah!'
Lu Qian screamed and threw half of his body against the open window.
Li Yunze walked up to him and didn't speak until the victory was certain, "You helped Gao Yanei do evil and evil. This is the fate you deserve. I am doing justice for God!"
"伱" Feeling the vitality in his body draining away quickly, Lu Qian forced his head up and stared at Li Yunze, "Who are you riding on?"
‘Bang!’
Li Yunze raised and lowered his hammer neatly, ending the conversation.
When fighting life and death on the battlefield, don't talk nonsense. It's best to wear a visor and say nothing, just use your hands.
As a veteran soldier who has been on the battlefield all year round, Li Yunze has a deep understanding of this.
The door of the main room over there was opened, and Fu'an, Gao Yanei's personal attendant, came out cursing, "Lu Qian! What's the fuss about?"
When he saw clearly what was happening in the wing through the moonlight, he was instantly frightened and screamed.
Fu'an, who collapsed on the ground, finally came to his senses, turned around and started to crawl back to the house.
‘Woo~~~’
Amidst the sharp sound of breaking through the air, a hammer flew over quickly and hit him directly on the back.
With the crisp sound of bones breaking, Fu'an fell directly to the ground and vomited blood.
Li Yunze walked over, first leaned over and picked up the hammer, and then looked at Fu'an, who was vomiting blood and had a look of horror on his face.
Reaching out and pressing his back, Li Yunze immediately understood that Fu'an's broken bones had already pierced his internal organs.
Hopeless.
With a slight smile, Li Yunze stepped into the main room.
"Fu'an, what are you shouting for!" Gao Yanei in the room called out very dissatisfiedly. When he didn't hear the response, he immediately got angry. He put down the tools in his hands and turned around to go out to teach the follower.
Then, he saw Li Yunze carrying a hammer, opened the door curtain and walked in.
"you you you"
Gao Yanei was shocked and subconsciously shouted "Lu Qian! Lu Qian?!"
Li Yunze glanced at him and paid no attention to him. He was a thin, monkey-like piece of trash with no threat at all, and he could only bully and bully women.
His eyes fell on the bed.
Well, my sister-in-law's current state is a bit inappropriate.
Although Gao Yanei's musical instrument has been damaged and cannot be used anymore, his hands are still intact and he can still play music with the help of tools.
Zhang Zhenniang, who was looking ashen over there, also saw Li Yunze. She was overjoyed at first, but after meeting Li Yunze's eyes, she immediately closed her eyes in shame, silently shedding tears.
Li Yunze stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Gao Yanei's neck, lifted him up and threw him to the ground.
Gao Yanei immediately screamed in pain and kept calling Lu Qian's name.
"Stop shouting. He should have passed the gate of hell by now and is on Huangquan Road. He will soon arrive at Naihe Bridge and wait for you."
Li Yunze raised his leg and stepped on Gao Yanei's chest, looking down at him condescendingly, "You beast has been causing trouble in Bianliang City for many years and has harmed many decent people. Today I will do justice for God and avenge the people of Bianliang City."
!”
"My father is Gao Qiu, my father is Gao Qiu!" Gao Yanei, who finally sensed the danger, cried and wailed and shouted, "My father is Gao Qiu~~~"
‘Bang!’
The hammer fell, and Gao Yanei's screams finally subsided.
Li Yunze stepped forward and untied Zhang Zhenniang's body, threw the clothes over, then turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and pack up, we should go."
‘Woooooo~~~’ Zhang Zhenniang cried bitterly, “Let me die~~~”
Li Yunze leaned over and checked Gao Yanei to confirm that he had indeed damaged the instrument.
Then he stood up and said, "No one knows how serious this matter is. If you don't tell me or I don't tell you, no one will know. The people in this house may only tell the lonely ghosts on the Huangquan Road."
The crying behind him was obviously quieter, but he was still choking.
Li Yunze became a little impatient and said, "Okay, senior brother is still waiting for you."
This time the choking sound disappeared. After a moment, Zhang Zhenniang asked desperately, "Is the official outside?"
"He is in Qinghe County." Li Yunze waved his hand behind him, "Senior brother asked me to come and save you. We will treat what happened here as if it never happened, and no one will know about it."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhenniang finally calmed down.
Then there was a rustling sound. After a while, Zhang Zhenniang stood up and said in a low voice, "Okay."
"Um."
Li Yunze nodded and immediately stepped forward and left the room.
Along the way, Zhang Zhenniang looked at the tragic scenes everywhere in the yard, feeling sad but not daring to say anything.
Before going out, Li Yunze packed his things and took Zhang Zhenniang back to Lin Chong's mansion through a detour.
When I came back, there were no traces of anyone watching outside the door. I guess I couldn't bear the cold anymore and had gone to find a place to sleep.
Li Yunze simply walked through the main entrance and entered.
"Lady~~~"
Jin'er, who was extremely anxious, burst into tears when she saw Zhang Zhenniang. The master and servant hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After they gradually regained their composure, Li Yunze said, "Let's go."
Arriving at the safe house, he hitched up the carriage and asked the master and servant to get in, and then drove out of the city gate.
After traveling for more than ten miles, they came to the bank of the Bian River and asked people to get down, untied the horses and pushed the carriage directly into the river.
After getting on his horse, Li Yunze simply stretched out his hands to the master and servant, "Come up, we have to hurry up!"
