At night, Li Zhen was lying on the couch and tossing and turning, thinking hard about his mission to Songshan. He already knew in his heart that it was not Wei Fangshi himself who came to Songshan to investigate this time, but the person behind Wei Fangshi.

But what interested Li Zhen was the soul-hiding technique of Zhenren Wei. He remembered the records of Li Longji who saw Yang Yuhuan's soul with the help of the alchemist. The spell used by the alchemist at that time was undoubtedly the soul-hiding technique.

Is there really a soul meeting in this world? When Li Zhen thought of himself, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, he did not doubt the magic itself, but the motive of Zhenren Wei, a so-called "Songshan Zhenren" who boasted that he had lived for five hundred years, and a Taoist alchemist who aimed to make money. Li Zhen had to put the hat of "Demon Dao" on his head.

Li Zhen really couldn't figure out that Wu Zetian, the dignified emperor, would be confused by these "Hanoi Old Ni, Songshan Alchemist" and others? She would not be afraid of being ridiculed by the people of the world?

A wave of sleepiness came, and his thoughts began to become dull. Just as Li Zhen's consciousness gradually became hazy, he suddenly heard a scream of "Ah!", the sound was very low, but he could hear it clearly. Li Zhen was shocked and his sleepiness disappeared.

He reached out and grabbed the sword beside the pillow, and turned over and pressed against the window. He had just left the bed, "Swoosh! Swoosh!" Two arrows broke through the air from the window, nailed to the bed, full of force, and the tail of the arrow shaking continuously.

Li Zhen was immediately shocked and sweated. If he hadn't heard the scream, or if he had been confused for a moment, he might have died on the bed.

He slowly reached out and took the bow and arrow from the head of the bed, pulled out two arrows, one bite in his mouth, and the other arrow was tilted to the strings. His eyes quietly glanced out the window, and saw two black shadows squatting on the roof opposite, aiming at his room with a crossbow, which was particularly obvious under the moonlight.

At this time, he had heard slight footsteps coming from the aisle outside. The crisis was imminent, and the situation could not hesitate. He turned sideways, pulled his bow like a full moon, and two consecutive beaded arrows shot out like lightning. He heard two screams from the opposite roof, and two crossbowmen's arrows rolled down from the roof.

With a loud bang, his door was kicked open, and five or six men in black rushed in quickly. Almost as the door was kicked open, Li Zhen jumped out of the window.

He lives on the third floor, the house is a cascading building, and outside the window is the eaves on the second floor, and he runs forward along the eaves.

But after only five or six steps, he was forced to stop. He saw men in black appearing in three directions, about ten people, all holding long swords with cold light shining in their hands.

At this time, Li Zhen's retreat was only on the left, and there was an eaves of 100,500 feet high on the left, but the danger was not at this height. And how many ambushes were waiting for him below?

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air. Out of the corner of his eyes, he found an arrow shot towards him quickly. Li Zhen quickly squatted down, and a crossbow arrow shot past his head, and another crossbowman appeared on the opposite roof.

Instead of using a sword to split the flying arrow, Li Zhen squatted down to avoid the arrow, and his intention was to squat down. As the arrow shot over his head, his body was curled up and rolled down from the eaves.

As his body was about to turn off the eaves, his legs suddenly kicked the eaves, and his body quickly spread out, with elasticity, crossing a 1-meter-wide street like a frog, and crashing into the window on the second floor of the opposite house.

Opposite the inn is a grocery shop. There is only one guy guarding the shop at night. He lives in the backyard. Li Zhen crashed into the second floor. It was a utility room full of old goods that could not be sold, wooden barrels that were almost disbanded, ladders that could not be climbed, bedding in the mouse's home, etc.

Not sure how long it took no one to come in, and a thick layer of gray was accumulated. Li Zhen burst into the crowd of rats and scattered a gathering of rats. The dust suddenly filled the air and the mice fled in scattered.

Li Zhen had almost no time to care about the surroundings. He rolled forward and rushed to the door, kicked open the door, and ran towards the backyard.

At the same time, more than twenty men in black rushed out of the inn. They divided their troops into two groups, knocking open the door of the grocery store and rushing in, while the other side went around the back of the grocery store to surround the back of the grocery store.

Behind the grocery store is the city wall, with a narrow passage. The passage is damp and dark, full of garbage and dirty. Li Zhen ran along the wall, but was extremely annoyed.

He has never been as embarrassed as he is today, and his horse packages are thrown in the inn. Fortunately, he burned the orders in the paint cylinder before going to bed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although he was angry, he did not dare to be careless at all. The other party was all very skilled in martial arts and obviously wanted to kill him. If there were five or six people, he might be able to deal with it, but if there were dozens of people on the other party, he would have no other choice but to escape.

"Where are there!" Suddenly five or six men in black appeared in front of him, blocking the way. When he turned around, he saw more than a dozen men in black chased him behind him.

The passage was less than five feet wide, and on the left was a city wall that was as high as two feet high, covered with moss, and on the right was a family's back wall, but it was built with bricks, without doors and windows, which made him unable to rush in.

Li Zhen couldn't help but complain secretly. He only had the sword in his hand and the bow on his back. The quiver was thrown away when he jumped out of the window. He could only rely on the sword in his hand to break out of the siege, but in the passage less than five feet wide, he could not use the sword technique no matter how high he had.

At this critical moment, someone suddenly shouted on his head: "Climb up!"

Immediately afterwards, a rope was thrown down. Li Zhen bit the sword in his mouth without thinking, grabbed the rope and climbed upwards. In desperation, he climbed extremely quickly, climbed up the city wall in a few steps, and cut off the rope with one sword.

In front of him was a petite masked woman wearing a black warrior uniform and two thin swords on her back. Her voice just now made Li Zhen feel very familiar. At first glance, he thought Di Yan, but after closer inspection, he found that it was not.

The woman knocked him and smiled and said, "Why are you stunned? Come with me!"

"Sister Qiu Niang!" Li Zhen suddenly heard her voice.

The woman smiled sneered and pulled away the scarf on her face. It was Zhao Qiuniang, but she didn't have time to explain to Li Zhen, "Come with me!" She pulled Li Zhen and ran towards the other side of the city wall.

Li Zhen followed the trend and looked down at the city, but found that the men in black in the passage were gone, leaving only a pile of ropes.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and saw that Zhao Qiuniang had run away. He pulled out his feet and chased him, gradually disappearing into the night.

They climbed down the city wall, ran seven or eight miles in one breath, and entered a forest. Zhao Qiuniang finally stopped and leaned against a tree and gasped slightly.

Li Zhen also leaned against a big tree and gasped, while asking in surprise: "Sister Qiu Niang, why are you here?"

Zhao Qiuniang waved her hand, "You kid... don't ask too much, wait for me... to take a breath before talking!"

At this time, Li Zhen recalled tonight's assassination, which still made him feel a sense of fear.

Although he had experienced similar experiences before, he had never been as thrilling as today. The other party obviously wanted to kill him, so his life was almost lost in Dengfeng County.

Thinking of this, he was full of gratitude for Zhao Qiuniang who appeared in time, but he still felt strange, how could Zhao Qiuniang appear here?

At this time, Zhao Qiuniang had recovered and regained her usual temptation. She approached Li Zhen, gently pushed him with her shoulder, and smiled with a charming smile: "Sister saved your life, how are you going to repay me?"

Li Zhen really knew her. He seemed to be very intimate with him on the surface, but if he dared to have inappropriate thoughts, he would definitely be full of thorns. He also smiled and said, "I am going to promise him to repay my elder sister for saving her life!"

"Go! When did you learn so smoothly?"

Zhao Qiuniang blushed, punched him hard on the shoulder, and cursed with a smile: "You kid actually want to take advantage of me, dream!"

"Is it good that my elder sister wants to take advantage of me?" Li Zhen said innocently.

Although Zhao Qiuniang liked this little brother very much, she didn't plan to continue to joke. She turned around and sat down on a big rock, took a drink from her waist, drank two sips, and threw it to Li Zhen, "Drink some wine to keep the cold, this place is colder than Luoyang."

Li Zhen also felt the chill of Songshan Mountain. He drank a few big mouthfuls of wine, and a warm feeling surged out of his body. His body suddenly felt much more comfortable. He sat down next to Zhao Qiuniang and asked, "Sister Qiuniang, why are you here?"

"I knew you kid wanted to ask this first, but didn't care who wanted to assassinate you?"

"Of course I care, but I care more about Sister Qiuniang."

"You boy is getting more and more slick. When I look back, I will tell your eldest sister and let her deal with you well!"

Zhao Qiuniang joked for a few words, but she also knew that she needed to explain to Li Zhen the reason why she appeared here.

"I received a job and escorted a pair of wealthy and wealthy Chang'an brothers and sisters to Shaolin Temple in Songshan to burn incense. In fact, they had their own guards, but I was very familiar with Songshan, so my friend introduced me to them."

Li Zhen's heart moved and asked quickly: "Can they be Wang Yuanbao brother and sister?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Qiuniang looked at him in surprise.

Speaking of the rich brothers and sisters in Chang'an, Li Zhen instinctively thought of Wang Yuanbao, and Wang Yuanbao once told him that their Wang family offered sesame oil in Shaolin Temple. Unexpectedly, he would meet Wang Qingyu here. Li Zhen had an indescribable expectation in his heart.

In fact, Li Zhen and Wang Qingyu didn’t have much contact, and there was no relationship. It was just that Wang Qingyu’s beauty left a deep impression on him.

Moreover, Wang Qingyu had helped him, which made him feel that he still owe Wang Qingyu a favor.

"I knew their brother and sister, and I knew each other when I was in Gaochang."

Zhao Qiuniang smiled and continued, "It was one of my apprentices who found out that you were targeted, but we only had three people, and we couldn't beat those men in black, so we could only find an opportunity to save you."

"Sister Qiu Niang, who sent those men in black?" Li Zhen asked for a deep thought.

"To be honest, I don't know either, but we can rule it out one by one. Do you want to listen?"

"Sister Qiu Niang is willing to say it, of course I listen carefully."

Zhao Qiuniang's smile disappeared and gradually became solemn. She pondered for a moment: "There are 24 people in black who assassinated you tonight, all of whom are very skilled in martial arts. Although many princes and nobles have family protection officers, there are only seven organizations with strength like the men in black tonight."
