"Let's go!"
Li Rui had already felt that the sudden outbreak of the disease was a little strange. The key was that the main medicinal herbs to treat the disease had actually been bought out in advance.
There must be someone secretly adding fuel to the fire, hoping that a plague would break out in Chang 'an.
This was the Kaiyuan Era!
A plague broke out in the golden age. If it spread, it would become a terrifying plague like the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, enough to defeat any powerful empire.
Such a vicious method was truly the ambition of a wolf.
Li Rui rode his Snow-treading Dark Stallion to the West City. Occasionally, he could see envoys from the surrounding small countries. The Tang Dynasty and all the other countries came to court and built their ambassadors in the West City. Most of the wealthy merchants gathered here.
Most of them were merchants from the Great Tang and horse riders from India, traveling back and forth to sell goods.
The Northern Liang Army filled the West City, which was originally a place for trade. The envoys and merchants from various countries gathered, as well as the peddlers and soldiers, forming the bustling and lively West City. Now that the Northern Liang Army was acting strangely, many people were watching.
Zhao Yun was blocking the narrow path, and a foul smell was emitted from inside. The flies were buzzing everywhere.
Li Rui rode his horse over and took out a red card from the system space. The barrel of gasoline was splashed by Dian Wei on the narrow road and ignited into a raging fire. All the flies were instantly turned into ashes.
As for the origins of the three warhorse corpses in the narrow road, Xu Geng was leading the bad guys to track down the owners of the horses.
After all, the horses had rotted so badly that this was probably the source of the plague three days ago!
Who brought the warhorses with diseases into Chang 'an?
This source must be investigated!
As the fire burned, a blue-eyed merchant from the Western Regions mustered up his courage and asked,""May I ask what this is? It looks like water, but why is it able to ignite a fire and produce black smoke?”
Li Rui ignored him and frowned.""Have you found the horse owner?"
"Reporting to the Prince of Liang, we have found out that the sick horse came from a group of Tibetan merchants. A peddler witnessed the Tibetan merchant lead the sick horse into a narrow path and secretly kill it.”
The delinquent cupped his fists and knelt on one knee. As for Xu Geng, he was still investigating.
"Is the news true?" Gao Lishi asked in surprise.”
"It's true!"
The bad guys had their own channels of information. In many places of the 108 workshops in Chang 'an, there were spies planted by the bad guys. They could know a lot of news about the black market at the first moment.
Including this time, someone had openly sold herbs on the black market just yesterday.
At first, the people in the black market were disdainful. They thought that no one would sell herbs in the black market. However, the plague broke out today, and the black market vendor was still there!
There weren't so many coincidences in the world. Xu Geng had already led his team over.
"Lord," said Meng Yi,"we can't stay here for long!”
This reminder caused Zhao Yun's muscles to tense up. She silently stood behind Li Rui with the silver dragon spear in her hand. Dian Wei silently approached Li Rui.
Meanwhile, Meng Yi had already grasped the hilt of his sword and was ready to defend against any attack at any time.
Zhang Fei was busy training new recruits in the camp outside the city, so he said that he was not present.
However, Huo Qubing was reminded by Meng Yi. He looked around and noticed something unusual. The crossbowmen hidden in the crowd were slowly approaching.
Suddenly.
More than a hundred arrows were shot, and their target was Li Rui.
Meng Yi pulled out his sword to deflect the arrows, Zhao Yun waved his silver Dragon Gentian Spear, Dian Wei stood by his side to protect him, and Li Rui looked on calmly.
Xi City was in chaos. Everyone fled like birds and beasts. The merchants closed their doors in an emergency. The strong men in Tang robes revealed themselves one after another. As many as a hundred people rushed over!
This was not a Tibetan. From his rough skin and figure, he looked more like a Turkic!
The Turks were skilled in riding and archery, skilled in sharp knives, and had once been a great threat to the Great Tang. Why would they set up an ambush here today?
Moreover, only the people who accompanied Li Rui knew that he had come to Xi City at the last minute, unless someone followed him along the way or the people who accompanied him passed the news to the outside world.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" Li Rui shouted coldly.”
The five hundred Northern Liang elites held the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows and did not give the Turks any chance to get close. They shot at the Turks one by one, each one of them dead on the spot.
Li Rui walked past in his white boots, covered in sticky blood. Behind him, Zhao Yun and the others looked around vigilantly.
However, in the northeast corner, a bearded man saw this scene and his eyes were red. The hundred brothers he had brought with him had died here without even touching Li Rui's clothes. It was a great humiliation.
"Your brothers have all died in battle, and you still want to live?" Li Rui laughed disdainfully.”
"Li Rui brat, die for me!"
The bearded man held a giant axe and roared as he rushed out. Huo Qubing instantly raised his Black Gold Combat Crossbow, and Zhao Yun gripped her Dragon Bane Spear tightly, preparing to attack.
"Leave this opponent to me!"
The Overlord Spear was like a fierce dragon coming out of its cave. Li Rui moved in an instant and pointed at the giant axe. The bearded man's hand split open and blood splattered everywhere.
Li Rui, who had the strength of Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, had terrifying strength that no general could compete with!
Li Rui pointed his spear at the burly man and calmly asked,"I don't care about your name or why you want to kill me. Answer me one question. Who sent you here? I'll leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, I'll cut off your hair and your brothers 'corpses!”
"Li Rui brat, you're despicable!”The bearded man's eyes turned red.
Li Rui smiled faintly." Since ancient times, a man must be ruthless. Tell me what I want to know, and everyone will have a good coffin. Otherwise, cut your hair…and dismember your body!"”
