Yang Guang shouted hoarsely," That yellow-faced man, this has nothing to do with you. Don't be a busybody and leave. Otherwise, if you provoke trouble in the future, there will be endless trouble!"”Qin Qiong saw Yang Guang talking with his face covered, and saw that his clothes were different from the others, so he was sure that this was the leader. Therefore, Qin Qiong ignored Yang Guang and directly waved his sword.
On the other side, Shan Xiongtong rushed over with his double-podao. Seeing that Li Yuan, who was struggling to hold on, had a yellow-faced man helping him, he immediately pounced towards Yuwen Cheng, who was killing his way through the group of servants.
Yang Guang saw Qin Qiong's mace coming towards him. He was a little tired from fighting with Li Yuan just now and had yet to recover. He panicked and quickly twisted his spear to stab. Qin Qiong clamped his horse's abdomen. The yellow horse was also a good horse. It took a step to the side and dodged Yang Guang's spear."So this leader is just an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless. Forget it, to capture the thief, we have to capture the leader first.”The horse turned around and struck Yang Guang's back. Yang Guang's old strength had already been exhausted, and he had yet to regain his new strength. Seeing Qin Qiong's ferocious strike, he was so scared that he dropped his spear on the ground. He quickly crouched forward and dodged Qin Qiong's strike. He quickly rode his horse and ran away. Qin Qiong saw that Yang Guang had run away and immediately chased after him. Yang Guang's horse was obviously not a good horse, so he was quickly caught up by Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong's pair of tiger head berkelium gold maces were long and short, the long one was for attack and the short one was for defense. Qin Qiong threw out the short maces in his hand. It was aimed at Yang Guang's back. This move was Qin Qiong's unique skill, the "trump card". The "trump card" of later generations also came from this. At the moment when Qin Qiong threw the mace, Yuwen Cheng saw that Yang Guang was in danger and was scared out of his wits. He was afraid that something would happen to Prince Jin here. If that happened, his crime would be great. It was impossible for the matter of intercepting and killing an important official of the imperial court not to be exposed. In a hurry, Yuwen Cheng shouted loudly. Yuwen Cheng was skilled in martial arts, and he shouted with all his might. The sound was naturally unusually loud, giving Qin Qiong a cold fright. The aim of the mace in his hand also tilted slightly. Yang Guang was running at full speed in front of him. He saw Qin Qiong was already close to him from the corner of his eyes. He was terrified. Suddenly, he heard Yuwen Cheng shout. Then, there was a gust of wind behind him. Yang Guang hurriedly lay down on the horse's mane. He heard a "whoosh" sound that cut through the air. It was obvious that the attack was very fast. However, due to Yuwen Cheng's shout and Yang Guang's dodging, the short mace did not hit Yang Guang. It only brushed past Yang Guang's shoulder. Yang Guang was frightened and did not dare to make a sound. He gritted his teeth and ran forward.
Yuwen Cheng was killing Li Yuan's followers when he suddenly heard a loud shout. Then, he saw a yellow-faced man running towards Yang Guang with a pair of maces. Yuwen Cheng was terrified. He was afraid that something would happen to Yang Guang, and his Yuwen family would never be able to stand out again. Just as he was about to ride his horse to save him, a man with a podao appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Yuwen Cheng was anxious. He saw the yellow-faced man throw out the short maces from behind Yang Guang's horse. However, the podao man in front of him kept pestering him like a fly. Yuwen Cheng hurriedly shouted, scaring the yellow-faced man. Then, he slashed at the man in front of him. Although the weapon in his hand was not his famous weapon, the phoenix wing gold-plated fish, Yuwen Cheng was a heroic figure with excellent martial arts skills. Even the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand was not something that Shan Xiongtong, an escort in Jianghu, could resist. With just one move, he was swept to the ground. Li Yuan happened to see the man who had come to save him being knocked down by Yuwen Cheng. He quickly picked up the hard bow hanging on the saddle, nocked an arrow, and aimed at Yuwen Cheng. Yuwen Cheng was coming towards Li Yuan and Yang Guang, so how could he not see Li Yuan's movements? He lifted Shan Xiongtong who was hiding on the ground and blocked the arrow in front of him. Li Yuan's arrow was fast and fierce, hitting Shan Xiongtong's left chest. With a "pu" sound, it went in without a root. A two-finger-long arrow pierced through his back. The poor big dragon died just after saying a line.
When the escorts who followed Shan Xiongtong saw that their boss had been killed by Li Yuan, they didn't care whether Li Yuan had done it intentionally or not. Their eyes turned red with anxiety as they picked up their weapons and rushed towards the chaotic battle.
There was no longer any harassment in front of Yuwen Cheng. With a few knives, he swept away the servants in front of him and rushed towards Yang Guang. When Yang Guang saw Yuwen Cheng rushing towards him, he also rode towards him. Qin Qiong was chasing after Yang Guang. Yang Guang came to Yuwen Cheng and stopped his horse, handing Qin Qiong over to Yuwen Cheng to deal with. Because of his own mistake, his identity might be exposed, and he already had the intention to leave. He signaled the attendant beside him to blow the whistle, and his subordinates gathered over.
"Who are you?" Yuwen Cheng snorted. Don't be rude to your highness, look at your blade!" Qin Qiong was stunned. His Highness? However, seeing Yuwen Cheng's blade coming at him, he could only accept the challenge. Although Qin Qiong was brave, he was far from being Yuwen Cheng's opponent. The two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Yuwen Cheng found a flaw in Qin Qiong and stabbed and poked with his three-pointed double-edged knife. Qin Qiong's martial arts skills were much weaker than Yuwen Cheng's. Without the short mace in his hand to defend, it was even more difficult for him to deal with it. Seeing Yuwen Cheng's knife stabbing towards him, Qin Qiong quickly blocked it with his mace. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Cheng poked it and he felt a strong force in his hand. Suddenly, his hand was broken. The long mace also left his hand. Fortunately, Yuwen Cheng did not want to take Qin Qiong's life. After destroying Qin Qiong's weapon, he turned his horse around and called his subordinates to escort Yang Guang away in a hurry.
Seeing Yang Guang and the others leave, Li Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. He quickly rode his horse to Qin Qiong, cupped his fists and bowed,"I am Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang. Thank you for saving me today and saving the lives of Li Yuan's family. May I ask your name? I, Li Yuan, will set up a tablet for the warrior when I return home. I will burn three incense sticks a day to pray for the warrior!”
Qin Qiong had just heard that there was a prince and a duke. As a policeman, how could he not guess that this was a death battle in the officialdom? However, he had already offended one party. Although he did not tell that person's name, he expected that they would still be able to find out his background with their power. Sigh, it was good to ask for a favor from Li Yuan and leave a way out for himself. Qin Qiong thought so and told Li Yuan his name. Li Yuan quickly took off a brocade colored glazed pendant he carried with him and handed it to Qin Qiong as his keepsake. He told Qin Qiong that if he had any difficulties or had no place to survive in the future, he could take this thing to Taiyuan to find him. Qin Qiong accepted it and kept it close to him. After bidding farewell to Li Yuan, he turned his horse and left.
After Qin Qiong left, he and Fan Hu escorted the criminals and delivered the official documents respectively. Then, he fell ill, sold horses, got to know Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, went to prison, and learned martial arts from Luo Yi.
When Li Yuan returned to his followers, he saw that his followers had suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of his servants and henchmen had been killed or injured. Li Shiming had fallen off his horse and injured his arm, and Li Jiancheng had also sprained his back from falling off his horse. Li Yuan ordered his men to remove the masks on the bodies. A servant suddenly pointed at one of the bodies in surprise and said,"Master, this person is from Yuwen Mansion. I have seen him in Chang 'an Restaurant before!”
Li Yuan's body trembled, and he immediately figured out the identity of Yang Guang and the others and the reason why they wanted to kill him. He called his servant over and asked,"Are you sure?" Seeing that the servant nodded, he looked at the servants and ordered,"No one is allowed to mention today's matter again. Just pretend that you never gave birth. Do you understand?”The few servants were also elders of the Public House. They knew that there were some things that should be said and some things that should not be said, so they all agreed.
Just as he was pacifying his entourage, another pair of people with weapons rushed over. Li Yuan's heart tightened. He thought that the people who came to kill him had returned. He immediately raised his weapons and was on guard. However, he saw that those people stopped in front of a corpse on the ground and protected it. They looked at Li Yuan with murderous expressions. Li Yuan looked at the corpses on the ground and suddenly realized that these people were Shan Xiongtong's escorts. When they saw their councilor being shot to death by Li Yuan, they immediately wanted to kill Li Yuan to avenge Shan Xiongtong.
Li Yuan got off his horse and walked to the bodyguards. He bowed and then ordered his subordinates to take out 500 taels of silver."I'm Li Yuan, the Mayor of Taiyuan and the Duke of Tang. I shot an arrow at that thief just now. When the thief provoked this benefactor to block the arrow, he accidentally injured our benefactor's life. But now we're in a hurry to go to Taiyuan Prefecture. Take this 500 taels of silver first and give this benefactor a proper burial. When I arrive in Taiyuan, I'll send someone to send you a pension and a silk banner to commend your righteous deed today!”The bodyguards thought to themselves," You're such a high official. We can't do anything to you. You have so many people. It's impossible to kill you for revenge today. Although our Shan Family doesn't lack money, we'll take this money first to stabilize you. Go back and tell the second official to avenge our Boss!"”Thus, the escorts took over and secretly called out Li Yuan's name. They then carried Shan Xiongtong's body back to the carriage and parted ways with Li Yuan. Li Yuan had unintentionally revealed his identity to the servant who wanted to avenge Shan Xiongtong, which led to the karma between Li Yuan's family and Shan Xiongxin.
A few days later, Li Yuan did not encounter any more unexpected incidents. He safely arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture and bought a house there to settle down.
