"I won't go!"

In the room, Kang Dazhuang replied depressedly, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Zhen was so angry that Kang Dazhuang refused to agree, which made him a little annoyed. He said angrily: "Si Si is your sister. If you don't send her back, who will send her back? Well, I'll send her back. You can go and save Xiaoxi, that's fine!"

Kang Dazhuang also said with a hard neck: "Xiaoxi was arrested to save Sisi, but I became the boss. I don't care about him anymore. Do you think I will do such a thing?"

At this time, Jiu Zhi, who was lying beside him, couldn't help but persuade: "Old Kang, I shouldn't care about your business, but I think Lao Li is right. Sisi must send her away. She is a burden now, which will affect our plan to save Xiaoxi, so that we cannot do our best.

Old Li couldn't go to send Sisi to Sisi, but I wanted to send it, but he wasn't sure. Then you were the only one who gave it to me. I don't think this is a moral issue, but a matter of burning eyebrows. It's been two days since. If you don't take action to save Xiaoxi, you're probably going to die."

This time, Kang Dazhuang didn't say anything anymore. Although Jiu Zhi said a little rough, the truth was not rough.

Li Zhen struck while the iron was hot and advised: "Lao Kang, we all know that you are a moral person. Sending Sisi away is actually part of our plan. Isn't all our actions just to save Sisi and Xiaoxi?

You are responsible for sending her away and saving Xiaoxi with me and Jiuzhi. It is enough to kidnap Wushun's son. It is not difficult to get rid of Xiaoxi. As long as we exchange Xiaoxi, we will not return to Chang'an City and fly away immediately. Sisi will not become our worries."

Kang Dazhuang was finally persuaded, and he nodded slowly, "Okay! I promise you, but if you go and persuade Sisi yourself, it's still the same thing if she is willing to leave."

As soon as he said this, a slight sound of "click!" suddenly came from outside the window. Li Zhen quickly opened the door and went out, and Sisi's back flashed into her room.

Li Zhen knew that the little girl had overheard their conversation, so he had to smile bitterly, slowly walked to Sisi's door, knocked on the door, "Sisi, it's me, I'll say a few words to you."

"The door is not closed, come in by yourself!" Sisi's crying came from the room.

Li Zhen pushed open the door and walked in. Sisi sat at the table wiping her tears. He walked up to her and squatted in front of her, smiling: "Did you hear it?"

"Am I a burden to you?" Sisi asked with red eyes.

"That fat man was spraying feces all over his mouth. He always did this. You don't know, why should you care about what he said?"

"Although you didn't say that, that's what you mean, didn't you?"

"no!"

"That's it!" Sisi started crying again, "It was me who dragged you down, it was me who caused Xiaoxi to be arrested."

Li Zhen felt pity. Seeing that her hair was a little messy, he gently tidied her hair and said softly: "You have been in Chang'an for several months and have experienced many things. I think you are much more sensible than before. You should understand that what we are facing now has nothing to do with you.

On the contrary, the incident we encountered in Gaochang involved you and caused you to be arrested. I should have apologized to you."

Sisi lowered her head and cried, Li Zhen smiled again, "Send you away, it means you won't meet in your life. Maybe after we rescue Xiaoxi, we will escape to Zhangye. Didn't we meet again at that time? Besides, how can we lose it if we have been in the past ten years of friendship between our two families? Do you want to lose it if you say this? Do I want this friend Dazhuang?"

When Sisi heard what he said made sense, she finally figured it out a little. She sobbed again, "Then you promise me that you must come to see me."

Li Zhen stretched out his thumb. This was the sogdian oath. Li Zhen had been forced to play with by Sisi since he was a child, but this time he was very serious.

Sisi also stretched out her thumbs, and the two of them pressed each other heavily, and she burst into tears and laughed, "This is your own swearing, I didn't force you!"

Li Zhen wiped her tears with a hand towel, stood up and smiled, "It's getting late, let's take a break early! We have to set off until dawn tomorrow."

Before dawn the next day, Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi sent Kang Dazhuang brothers and sisters out of Chang'an City and sent them ten miles away to confirm that they were safe. Then the two of them strangled the horses and watched Sisi's carriage go away.

"Old Li, Sisi is gone, Dazhuang is gone, and we are the only brothers in distress. I have experience in kidnapping children since I was a child. How do you think we should do it?" Jiu Zhi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big fight.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Kidnapping Wu Shun's child is a dead end. I said this just to ask Dazhuang to send Sisi away. We must not take this path unless we have to. The relics case is deadlocked now. I will talk to Wu Shun again to see if there is a turning point."

Jiuzhi curled his lips and said, "Unless you are willing to be his dog, why would he be willing to let Xiaoxi? This is what you said."

Li Zhen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Nothing can be done, what is the benefit of killing Xiaoxi? Maybe I will do something else for him and replace Xiaoxi."

"That's the case! Why didn't I expect it?"

"Let's go! Let's go directly to Wushun Mansion."

Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi turned their horses and returned to Chang'an City. They went directly into Wubenfang and came to the gate of Wushun Mansion. A servant rushed in to report.

Li Zhen whispered to Jiuzhi: "I'll go in and talk to him. You'll wait outside. If you hear a riot inside, go to the side door to pick me up."

Jiuzhi was stunned, "Do you want to fight again?"

"Are you prepared for any trouble!

At this time, the servant walked out quickly and said, "Mr. Li, my Zhuguo invites you in."

Li Zhen followed the servants into the mansion and came to the central hall. Wu Shun held his hands behind his back, looking at the painting on the wall thinking something. Li Zhen stepped forward and bowed, "See Wu Zhuguo!"

Wu Shun looked back at him and nodded, "Please sit down and talk."

Wu Shun didn't know that Li Zhen was also involved in the battle for relics that night. In the past few days, he sent more than 100 subordinates to inquire around Chang'an City, without any news, which really made him deeply depressed.

"I guess you have heard of it too! The Wu family general was ambushed outside the city and eight people died."

"I also heard some rumors, what's going on?"

Wu Shun sighed, "The person who was ambushed was the messenger I sent to deliver the relics. The relics were kidnapped. Didn't you expect them to be?"

Li Zhen looked stunned and shook his head quickly, "I'm still waiting for news from Luoyang, who is doing this?"

Wu Shun snorted coldly after a while, "I have been checking for three days, but there is no news at all. My subordinates are all useless wastes, and they are raising them in vain."

Speaking of this, Wu Shun glanced at Li Zhen again. Seeing that his eyes were thoughtful, he moved his heart and asked again: "What do you think about this matter by Mr. Li?"

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "If I help Wu Zhuguo find out the whereabouts of these people, can Wu Zhuguo let my brother go?"

"Is this your condition?"

Li Zhen nodded, Wu Shun looked at him for a moment, and then said, "Tell me what you think. If it works, I will promise you."

"To be honest with Wu Zhuguo, I have been to the county government and learned some of the situation. I found something strange here."

"What's strange, tell me!"

"I saw the short spear thrown by the fierce man. I have seen this short spear in Gaochang. It was a small team in the Western Regions. They usually do not use bows and arrows, but use short spears to project. I suspect that these fierce men are not from Central Plains, but from Hu people."

Wu Shun pondered for a moment, and Li Zhen said something real. He asked again without saying a word: "What about?"

Li Zhen continued: "I will follow this clue to investigate. As early as tonight, as late as tomorrow, I will find out the whereabouts of these murderers."

"What do you mean is to find out these murderers and let me release your friend?"

“That’s right!”

Wu Shun narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, and finally nodded, "If you can find out their whereabouts, I will let your companion go."

"Wu Zhuguo, what if you go back on your word?" Li Zhen didn't believe in Wu Shun at all.

Wu Shun smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, you have to ask for it. If you don't do it, I will check it myself. When will I find the relics and when will I release your brother."

Seeing Li Zhen silent, Wu Shun smiled and said, "Actually, I am willing to make friends with you, otherwise what if I go back on my word? Li Zhen, your brother is meaningless to me anymore. I promise you that as long as you find the person behind me, no matter whether you can get the relics back or not, the matter has nothing to do with you. I will let your brother go."

What Li Zhen wanted was the last sentence. He looked at Wu Shun and said, "Wu Zhuguo, what is our final word?"

"One word is certain!"

.........

"Old Li, where can we find those guys? Chang'an is so big, with at least one million people. Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?" After leaving Wushun Mansion, Jiu Zhi couldn't help asking.

Li Zhen pointed to his head and said with a smile: "If you use this more, you will have a way."

"Go! I haven't liked wasting my brain since I was a child, you don't know."

The two came to Dongshi, which covers an area of ​​thousands of acres, including rice shops, wine shops, silk shops, jewelry shops, musical instruments, pig iron shops, etc., and thousands of stores.

It was morning, and there were crowds in the east city, and the hawking sounds were coming one after another, which was extremely lively.

Li Zhen found a Hu jewelry store and asked about it. A Sogdian businessman pointed out to him where he went. He then came to the Persian residence located south of the east city and said to the doorman: "I'm looking for Uncle Kombole, is he here?"

"Do you have something to do with me?" A middle-aged Sogdian man walked out of the gate. He was about fifty years old, with a big beard and a kind smile, and spoke fluent Chinese.

Li Zhen took out something and showed it to him. The middle-aged Sogdian man immediately felt awe-in, "Two young men, please come in!"
