Suzaku Fury

【37 Fire and White Elephant】

Di Renjie saw that those few silver nails were about to be driven into his eyeballs.It was too late to say it, but it was fast at that time, only a "ding" sound was heard.

The expected pain did not arrive, and the eyes were not blind.

When Yuchi Zhenjin touched the ground with his toes, the meteor hammer was also retracted, and after standing still, he even sneaked a glance at Di Renjie.

However, with a quick glance, blame and worry were mixed.

Di Renjie called that 'Glance' to hit him straight, and he staggered at a fast pace, and he bumped into Yuchi's back.Fortunately, Yuchi wasn't distracted, and grabbed Di Renjie by the collar the moment he bumped into him, and with all his strength in his hands, he carried him around in a circle, making Di Renjie stand still and facing himself again.

On the other side, Fan Wei, who was thrown to the ground by Yuchi Zhenjin in a panic just now, took advantage of Yuchi's unpreparedness and hurriedly got up from the ground and fled quickly.

Yuchi Zhenjin squinted at the flickering black shadow, then turned his head to look at Di Renjie meaningfully, then patted Di Renjie lightly with the hand still on the back of Di Renjie's neck, and said in a low voice: "Chasing. "Withdrawing the hand, the foot also left the ground, but the shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Di Renjie glanced at the several hidden weapons nailed to the wall by Yuchi Zhenjin's blow, smiled to himself, and started to chase after them.

It's a pity that the sky was not as expected, and Fan Wei, who seized the opportunity to escape, was chased by Yuchi Zhenjin within a few steps.When Di Renjie arrived, the two had already opened up their battles and fought again.

I saw that Yuchi Zhenjin had already put away the Qinglian knife at this time, and blocked Fan Wei's tricks with his bare hands.But Fan Wei retreated step by step, his fist and kick skills were obviously hard to match with Yuchi's.Just when Di Renjie thought that Fan Wei was going to be captured without a fight, Yuchi's dagger pinned to his waist was out of its sheath.There were a few more 'ding' sounds, a cold light flashed, and the blade opened the hidden weapon that Fan Wei shot out from nowhere, and attacked his throat.

However, Fan Wei is not a simple character that can be dealt with in twos and twos.He turned sideways before Yuchi's attack, and moved his hands and feet while avoiding the attack.

A thin invisible thread was pulled by a sharp arrow, shot out from his sleeve quickly, and nailed to the ridge less than ten steps away from Di Renjie.

Seeing that he wanted to shift the target, Yuchi swung his knife and attacked again, Fan Wei was already standing in front of Di Renjie.

Everything is but an instant.

Before Di Renjie could admire the ingenuity of Fan Wei's equipment, Fan Wei, who stood firm, swung his knife and slashed forward.

Di Renjie managed to evade Fan Wei's attack, and was about to swing his saber to attack, but suddenly heard a few sounds of piercing through the air.After quickly jumping away, he looked again, and found that three familiar blunt-mouthed square nails had been nailed in front of him.When he looked up, there was a man in black standing where he had just stood.

Heiyi and Fan Weiren looked at each other for a few moments, and suddenly punched each other.

Yuchi Zhenjin climbed to Di Renjie's side from the ridge of the roof just now, swiped his knife and knocked off several blunt square nails nailed in front of Di Renjie, and once again stood in front of Di Renjie with one hand on his hip and the other with a knife.

Di Renjie didn't understand Yuchi's actions, and was about to rush forward into the melee, but Yuchi Zhenjin put the dagger on his shoulder across Di Renjie's chest.

Di Renjie stopped to look back, but Yuchi Zhenjin glanced suspiciously at him.

"How many things do you keep from me?"

"I don't know what your lord is referring to...?"

Yuchi Zhenjin snorted coldly, but kept his eyes on the two people who were fighting in front of him: "Why did I let you stay to protect Cui Qianpei but you left without authorization? Also, why did your 'informant' suddenly appear here?" place?"

Di Renjie gave Yuchi Zhenjin a complicated look, and suddenly raised his hand to open Yuchi's knife-holding hand and rushed towards the two who were fighting.It was only after he opened the scuffle between the two with a palm that he shouted: "My lord! It's important to arrest people! Explain while grasping!"

Yuchi Zhenjin's face darkened when he heard this, and he also rushed into the formation and waved his hands to block the attack of the man in black.

Di Renjie made moves to catch and catch, only attacking but not defending to speed up his moves, forcing Fan Wei to have no time to distract and activate the mechanism hidden under his clothes.

"Cui Qianpei is not as fragile as your lord has seen. If it was true, Fan Wei could have taken his life just now. He has deep inner strength, cold-blooded and cunning. If someone else wants to attack him, he doesn't know who will kill him." Di Renjie stopped suddenly, so it was to avoid Fan Wei's fatal blow.After threatening to go, Di Renjie resumed the conversation: "Just now, I asked the Lord to take action, not to save Cui Qianpei, but to save Fan Wei."

As soon as this remark came out, all four people stopped.

"Di Renjie, what do you mean by that?" Surprisingly, the speaker was Fan Wei, the arrest target.

"If Cui Qianpei finds out that you are the culprit in the Suzaku case, he will definitely kill you. After all, as long as you survive for a day, you may drive him and his party into a desperate situation. Because whether you continue to commit crimes or are arrested by Dali Temple , will expose their unknown deeds. You must know that your lord and I have found out that there is a lot behind the Suzaku case, but you don't know that I have seen through your tricks and know the next step of your plan to commit murder. Object. It stands to reason that Cui Qianpei is only a city ship envoy, and he is not required to escort the tribute to Beijing, but he appeared in the accompanying team, so it must be strange. Moreover, he was too calm about the death of the Lingnan Jiedu envoy , which aroused my doubts about him, so I deduced that after you killed Zhang Yun, you would definitely attack him, so my lord and I secretly sent people to spread rumors, maliciously slandered Cui Qianpei, made him a frightened bird, and created opportunities for you to attack him. In fact, I just wanted to lure you out. How did Zhengchou, the behind-the-scenes instigator of embezzlement of tributes, arrest you? Now that you have sent yourself to the door, Cui Qianpei will definitely deal with it quickly, and with your martial arts cultivation, it is by no means It is his opponent, so my lord and I have been following you here."

Di Renjie made a long speech, but Fan Wei laughed.

"It's really ridiculous that these words come from the mouth of a male dog, extremely ridiculous!" After Fan Wei smiled, his eyes revealed a fierce look, and without warning, he drew out the soft sword in his sleeve and stabbed at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie quickly dodged back, kicked away the soft sword like a poisonous snake with a 'squeak', and then used his strength to stand still: "My lord! Change!"

Although Yuchi Zhenjin was unhappy, Di Renjie's life was more important than anything else.

While speaking, he and Di Renjie had switched positions back to back, and the meteor hammer had slipped out of his palm in an instant, entangled with the menacing soft sword.At the same time, Di Renjie also stopped the man in black:

"Our Dali Temple must take him away, and you can't snatch them away."

The man in black paused, frowned and looked at Di Renjie.

"You will only put him at a disadvantage if you take him away."

The man in black flicked the black scarf covering his face, only to hear her say with a smile: "If I leave it to you, it will end in the same way, won't it?"

"If you trust me, I, Di Renjie, will fulfill my promise."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Whether you believe me or not, you can't take people with you. And he first murdered our Tang Dynasty officials, and then spread rumors in the city. He should be punished for his crime."

"They're more than worth dying for!"

"Regardless of whether they deserve to die or not, my Tang Dynasty has strict discipline, and I will never let a sinner go, and I will never wrong a good person. If everyone abuses lynching like him, how can there be justice in this world?"

"Di Renjie!" Yuchi Zhenjin caught him with a backhand, and finally caught him, "Don't talk about gossiping! If you have this spare time, you might as well go with Kuang Zhao!" With just one struggle, Zhao Jinchan escaped from his shell, which made him free his hands.

How could Yuchi Zhenjin allow him to escape again?Pulling the shirt that Fan Wei took off just now, he brought the man back, and then offered him face-to-face with the force of a thunderbolt.Unexpectedly, after accepting the move, he already had one more thing in his hand.

Yuchi Zhenjin stared at the human skin mask in his hand, unable to speak for a moment, then looked at Di Renjie, but he still looked calm.

"Ruan Yi!" The man in black exclaimed, and quickly took off the black scarf covering his face.

The person named Ruan Yi turned his face in disbelief and looked at him.

Under the moonlight, in the cold moonlight, there is a terrifying and ferocious face: half of it is intact, soft and pale, and the other side is bloody and bloody, horrible to look at.

"My lord, this is the reason why Di didn't report this matter to the Queen of Heaven." Di Renjie turned his head slightly and said, "Fan Wei came to Dali Temple from Youzhou for more than a year, but he didn't speak with a Youzhou accent at all. So Di guessed that this Fan Wei was not that Fan Wei long ago, right? As for why he deliberately lurks in Dali Temple, apart from being able to receive information as quickly as possible, maybe the real Fan Wei is also inseparable from the Suzaku case."

"Hahaha..." Ruan Yi grinned grimly, half of his muscular face was twisted to the extreme, "Di Renjie, Di Renjie, I really admire you..."

"I, Ruan Yi, don't feel sorry for falling into your hands!" As soon as the words fell, he jumped back a step, then moved his lips, and then made a flat and piercing sound.

The other three people hurriedly covered their ears to prevent the magic sound from filling their brains, but in the blink of an eye, when they came back to their senses, Ruan Yi had already fled towards Tianjie.

"Thief Lizi! How can you run away again!?" Yuchi Zhenjin shouted angrily, and immediately chased after him.

"trngvoi..." the man in black muttered to himself.

Di Renjie was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he looked at her again, his expression changed.

"You said that Zangwei...wasn't it a white elephant?"

"Exactly!" She said with a pale face, "The white elephant is a sacred object in Linyi, and it must have been paid as a tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The white elephant has a very sensitive hearing, and after being tamed, it can act on people's orders. The flute that Ruan Yi played just now is The sound that disturbs the White Elephant's mind, if the White Elephant goes mad and enters the city, he will surely die."

Di Renjie was horrified, and before she could say anything else, he had already walked towards Tianjie.

"Ruan Yi wants to use white elephants to attack the city and Tianjie!!" When the voice came, the people had already disappeared into the vast night.

And as he got closer and closer to Tianjie, the rumbling sound in his ears became even more deafening.

After Di Renjie followed Yuchi Zhenjin closely, he was about to reach Tianjie, but seeing him suddenly turning south, he quickly changed direction again.

I saw Yuchi Zhenjin took out a few flying needles from his sleeve and swiftly attacked the shadow in front of him. Unfortunately, the two of them coincided with a high and low turning point, and the flying needle missed the target. Instead, Ruan Yi, who had been running ahead, suddenly shot gone.

Di Renjie caught up with Yuchi Zhenjin who had stopped by the eaves, before standing still, he panted and asked, "Where is he?"

Yuchi Zhenjin raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, while his eyes widened and he kept scanning the dark alley under the house.

"The situation is wrong." As soon as Yuchi Zhenjin finished speaking, he felt a violent shock coming from his feet.

"Oops!" Di Renjie gritted his teeth and yelled, "White Elephant enters the city, I'm afraid that the people on Tianjie will be in danger!" After speaking, he looked at the brightly lit Tianjie, and suddenly made up his mind.

"Follow me, my lord!" After saying that, he didn't wait for Yuchi Zhenjin to react, and ran to Tianjie after teasing people. "The place where the white elephant is enshrined is outside the city, and entering the city must pass through the Mingde Gate. We must stop the wild elephant outside the city gate, and we must never let him step into the Tianjie!"

After Yuchi broke free from his restraint, he also ran to the same place with him.

I saw Di Renjie jumping on the tent propped up by a restaurant and fell to the ground in embarrassment, then ran to the shop selling hemp rope diagonally opposite the restaurant, took out the waist card of Dali Temple to show the shopkeeper, and at the same time hugged two rolls of baby arms Thick hemp rope, turn around and run.

"Dali Temple handles the case, human life is at stake, and the account must be recorded first!" As soon as the words finished, he threw one of the hemp ropes to Yuchi Zhenjin who had landed firmly, "My lord, go to Mingde Gate! Tie both ends of the rope to the Above the battlements, let it hang down naturally!"

Yuchi Zhenjin immediately understood Di Renjie's intention, hugged the hemp rope, and rushed towards Mingde Gate without saying a word.And Di Renjie rushed ahead, evacuating the people on Tianjie while running: "Everyone, go back to the house, go back! Go back quickly! If you don't want to lose your life, go back quickly!"

The surrounding vibrations made the people in Tianjie scream loudly, and with Di Renjie and Yuchi Zhenjin making such a fuss, the Tianjie was even more frenzied.

The two had no time to explain to the gatekeepers, they just rushed up the gate tower blindly.

After the two of them each tied knots on the three battlements with hemp ropes, many towering trees in the dense forest outside the city had all fallen down.

"My lord, here we come." Di Renjie stared at the fallen tree approaching, quickly untied his belt and put it on the hemp rope, and jumped down without thinking, which made the soldiers guarding the city exclaim.

As soon as Di Renjie stood still, he shouted to all the soldiers: "Close the city gate and go up to the tower, and listen to my orders!" After a few strokes, he quickly opened up again, with the momentum like a mantis holding a chariot.

Sure enough, within a short while, he heard the neighing of a ferocious beast, followed by a muffled knock on the door, followed by the shaking of the earth and mountains.Seeing that the iron birch door bolt was about to fail and be shortened into two pieces, Di Renjie tightened the belt in his hand again, and whispered: "My lord..." Yuchi Zhenjin had a serious face, but it was also tight A belt that wraps tightly around the hand.

There was only a loud noise, and the heavy city gate was smashed open by the mad beast.The white elephant, whose forehead had already been smashed into a bloody mass, slammed into the city gate screaming, and its pale pink head was dyed a ferocious scarlet with the deep red blood.

The furious beast came to the two of them in the blink of an eye.Di Renjie gritted his teeth and shouted: "My lord, pull!" As soon as the words fell, the two of them quickly pulled the two loose hemp ropes that were as thick as a baby's arms into a straight line, just in front of the beast's legs.

The rampaging beast suddenly encountered such an obstacle, and was startled. After a while, the two strands of hemp rope were entangled in a mess, and it screamed and swung its long hammer-like nose.

The two were also knocked several steps away by the momentum of the giant elephant. Fortunately, the other two ends of the hemp rope were tied to the battlements, and they were able to stand firm.Unexpectedly, before he could stand still, Di Renjie yelled:

"Bag!"

The two pulled the hemp rope, avoiding the elephant's trunk thrown by the wild beast, and ran towards the city gate together.

Di Renjie ran behind the beast, raised his head and shouted towards the tower: "Cut a strand of hemp rope!"

The soldiers on the tower were stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, they quickly drew their knives and cut a strand of hemp rope at the same time.

Di Yuchi and the two quickly exchanged positions without waiting for the hemp rope to fall, and took the lead in wrapping the hemp rope around the four elephant legs.

With a miserable howl, the white elephant finally gave up and fell to the ground.

Yuchi Zhenjin climbed onto the back of the elephant and tied up the beast.

The ferocious beast lying on the ground howled in displeasure, but wiggled its nose weakly because of the opening in its head, the threat was no longer as great as before.

When Yuchi Zhenjin got off his back, he was already sweating profusely, and his whole body was drenched.

Di Renjie was half-hanging on another strand of hemp rope, so he could only breathe.

The two people were beating violently like those who had been picked up from the water, but they breathed a sigh of relief like they were alive after a catastrophe.

Amidst the flickering fires all around, one of them was standing, the other half-hanging, suddenly their eyes met, and they suddenly smiled at each other.
