Chapter 168 Manslaughter and Escape

Even if it is for the belly of Zhuo Yuancan, a man who has never given her happiness and has never really loved her, and a palace life with a false reputation, but only brings him endless disasters in the end, why do you have to let such a weak woman have to escape after the disaster? If you bear the consequences and take responsibility, how can you be embarrassed all the time?

Zhen Mei took a steamed bun and put it in a small plate with shredded pickles, but she didn't move the bacon. She covered the lid of the steamer and went out of the stove with the small plate.

Since she fell into the capital, she has barely learned to live and cook the simplest food. Her craftsmanship is really not good, but at least she is better than Li Ren. Like these things made by Li Ren, she knows at a glance that Li Ren has never cooked, and the eldest son in Li Hou's house is arrogant and generous. Now that she is so wronged, Zhen Mei really doesn't know whether this is her luck or her pathetic.

Zhen Mei put the small disc on the table and sat down on the side of the table, not far from her. Li Ren's letter was lying quietly in the middle of the table, but Zhen Mei didn't want to touch it, and even tried her best to avoid contact with the letter. She could guess the content of the letter without reading it. It was nothing more than Li. Ren asked her to wait for Li Ren's return within the agreed deadline, so she quickly packed up her bags and left the hut. In Li Ren's words, she left the capital, kept going south, and went south all the way. Don't hesitate, don't look back, and never come back.

The only thing Zhen Mei doesn't know is that the deadline agreed to her by Li Ren in the letter will be a few days, a day, two days or three days? This made Zhen Mei panic. What would the south be like? Without Li Ren's way to the south, she would be so panicked and lonely. No, she didn't want to know the deadline. She would rather sit at home and wait stupidly than today, the last day of her stay in this family.

The one in the palace can't be regarded as a home. Only this simple cabin in the forest can fulfill the mutual help that Zhen Mei expects for a family. It is also the only home she has lived until now. Once she abandons her home, it is likely that she will no longer be homeless in this life.

Zhen Mei turned his head and looked at the room, as if there were Li Ren's shadow everywhere. Although their time together was short, although they were so short and difficult, compared with their previous life, they were full of memories and made Zhen Mei so nostalgic.

Zhen Mei broke the steamed bun from the middle and filled it with some shredded pickles with chopsticks. Her hands trembled. When she picked up the shredded vegetables, she always shook off more than half, so she did it four or five times before filling in the gap. Putting down the chopsticks, Zhen Mei pinched the opening of the bun with both hands, and then solemnly took the first bite. There was no fragrance of the bun, only the alkali astringency permeated between the lips and teeth. Zhen Mei wanted to smile, "Li Ren, you idiot, you don't know how much alkali you need to put. It's okay to ask me, but you--"

Zhen Mei held the steamed bun in her mouth and touched the corners of her mouth. When she thought she was laughing, her nose was sore, her throat choked, and tears fell again.

"Li Ren, you can't just leave like this. You must come back again," Zhen Mei was full of tears on her face. She began to take one bite after another, forcing herself to swallow all the terrible buns made by Li Ren, and not even a grain of dregs. Follow Zhen Mei to wash the dishes and put them away. It took her nearly three hours to clean the inside and outside of the hut. It was not until she felt too tired that she fell asleep with her clothes at the head of the bed.

When Li Ren saw the signal, his body was almost frozen, but in the months of begging life, the tenacious willpower he exercised still drove him to pull out his dagger and cross the treetops. He flew in the direction of the side of the Huanglao Temple, but how he paid attention to it, and the movement between the ups and downs was soon noticed by the nearest few forbidden guards.

"Who? Who is there! There are assassins!" Someone shouted loudly.

In the shrill shout, someone quickly pulled out the weapon and rushed to the figure of Li Ren.

At this time, Li Ren happened to fly over the last treetops and landed on the open space outside the forest. Before he stood firmly under his feet, he heard the wind approaching behind his ears. Li Ren didn't have time to think too much. He gently touched the ground with one foot. After a spin, he struggled to wave his sword to meet the enemy. When the weapons met, he not only made a muffled sound, but also Li Ren also felt Dehu's mouth was a little numb, and the ability of the forbidden army guard is really small, especially a large part of these forbidden army guards are composed of dead men or assassins under the original Louxun family.

Fortunately, Li Ren has been prepared for a long time. Otherwise, the short sword can't get rid of Zhenfei? However, the other party also seemed to be shocked. With an exclamation, he turned over and knocked out. He hit a tree trunk behind, and then fell to the ground. Li Ren grasped the gap at this moment and quickly turned around, trying to continue to rush towards the set goal, but his step was only a step, and the corner of his eyes had caught a glimpse. Five or six dark shadows rushed at him.

"Oh no!" Li Ren said in his heart that it was not good. If he was entangled by the guards of the forbidden army, would he still have a chance to get out? With the encirclement and interception of these five or six people, all the forbidden army guards will rush up one after another in a short time. With his strength, he is by no means the opponent of these forbidden army guards. Sooner or later, when the shadows are about to rush to him, the lights around Li Ren suddenly go out, and the Huang Lao Temple fell into darkness and In the chaos.

"What's going on? Who put out the fire?" Someone immediately shouted loudly.

"Catch him, be careful not to let the assassin run away", and some people shouted anxiously.

"Who has fire, hurry up and light the lamp!" One after another scolding and shouting, the sound was chaotic, and I couldn't tell the enemy from me. Some of the guards of the forbidden army unfortunately collided and thought that they had met an assassin, so they fought with each other, or waved weapons randomly, blindly forcing the mistaken enemy, but none of them noticed that a dark shadow easily slipped out of the gap of the besiegers, sneaked through the open space, and flew in. In a window of the side house of Huang Lao Temple.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a woman screamed sharply and horriblely, cutting through the dark night sky and tearing everyone's eardrums. The forbidden guards who fell into chaos were all stunned. Their minds were blank. The screams brought to everyone were shocked. They stood stiff for about dozens of seconds. Someone's eyes were found by them in the chaos. The lost dark shadow appeared again by the window, neatly turned out of the window, and strode to the only road to the Yellow Temple.

"Assassin, come on, the assassin is running away!"

I don't know who first recovered from the shock and issued a warning.

"You divided half of the people to follow me to chase the assassin, and the other half of them set fire and inspect the scene to protect the emperor!" The commander of the imperial guard came out of the crowd and issued orders to his subordinates. The guards, who were stunned by the sudden change, immediately realized what they should do now, so some people looked for fire folds on their bodies, while others picked up their weapons and followed their commanders to chase the shadows.

Why is there a woman in the house, and there is only one woman? Li Ren, who fled for his life in a hurry, waved his head hard and tried his best to make his chaotic mind more clear. However, he thought about all the possibilities, but he still couldn't figure out a clue.

In the dark room, Li Ren, who had just jumped into the window, almost didn't have time to distinguish anything. He only saw a dark shadow rushing at him. Li Ren, who was intent on assassinating Lou Xun, intuitively felt that there could only be two people in the room, either Lou Xun or Shuang'er. It was Lang Dingyuan who pointed him. Did he find out that Lou Xun would come to Huanglao Temple regularly for a date? Therefore, when he witnessed Lou Xun enter this side room, he had no doubt at all that Lou Xun might not be there. There was only one door in and out of the side room. He saw Lou Xun enter the house, but he didn't see Lou Xun out of the house. Where could Lou Xun be if he was not in the house? Li Ren did not hesitate at all. He waved his dagger to face the dark shadow and stabbed the other party in the chest. Li Ren came to fight for his life. But when he fought for his life, he was ready for the other party to resist and resist. He never thought that the shadow seemed to have no ability to resist. He only heard a "pull", and the black shadow immediately hit the sword and was pierced in the chest. He and let out a sad scream. As soon as he screamed, he immediately understood that he had killed the wrong person. It doesn't matter if you kill the wrong person. It can be seen that Shuang'er is not a good thing. Li Ren, who has long been disgusted with Shuang'er, did not panic. He pulled out his dagger and kicked the abdomen of the shadow hard. The shadow retreated a few steps and fell to the ground.

Li Ren turned around and looked around the house. At this time, he had adapted to the darkness in the house and could basically see the situation in the house clearly. The first thing that entered Li Ren's eyes was a wide bed by the wall. ** was covered with bedding, and the bedding was flat. It didn't look like someone under the mattress. Li Ren walked over and reached out and touched it. There was still the residual temperature that someone had slept in the mattress. Li Ren turned his hand and looked to the right. On the right side of the wall was a row of tall cabinets. Li Ren ran over and opened all the cabinets one by one, but most of those cabinets were empty and could be seen at a glance. Except for some clothes and sundries, there was still no sign of Lou Xun.

On another side was a partition door, half closed with the curtain. The shadow fell head facing the door. Li Ren bypassed the body of the shadow, lifted the curtain and looked at the inner room. The inner room is smaller than the outer room, and there are not many things on display. It is nothing more than dressing mirrors, tables, chairs and stools. In addition, there are some decorative pendants on the wall, but But there is no place to hide. What about Lou Xun? Where did Lou Xun go? At this time, Li Ren began to panic. Did he work hard and risk his life, but only assassinated an insignificant woman?

"Look for an opportunity to get out immediately after a hit", Li Ren suddenly remembered Lang Dingyuan's instructions to him. He did not dare to linger any more. He quickly turned over and out of the window and began to run desperately in the way Lang Dingyuan said.

"Catch him, catch the assassin, and don't let the assassin run away!"

The sound of the seizures one after another has been following Li Ren. No matter how he runs wildly, he can't get rid of it. The most important thing is that there seem to be more and more people coming to chase him. The light of the torch also stretches on the left and right sides of Li Ren and behind him. The distance between them looks only a few hundred meters, and Li Ren also heard a horse. The sound of hoofs is coming from far to near. If he can't get rid of the pursuers, he will really die.

After rushing out of the gap formed by the chaos of the guards of Huanglao Temple, Li Ren quickly ran to the official road. After calculating the distance he ran without resting, it should be almost half a miles. Li Ren thought secretly, so he began to search the roadside with his eyes to see if there was any other path.
