The man in black was killed and retreated, but the guards beside Li Xiu were also suffering heavy casualties. When he was chased just now, many guards fell down. When he fled to the square, there were only dozens of guards who were left to protect each other. However, there were only a dozen people who could stand now. The rest were either lying on the ground with blood all over his body and were lying on the ground without knowing his life or death, or they were seriously injured and moaning weakly.

Seeing the tragic situation of these guards, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel secretly hated in his heart. These guards were all old men who had followed him for many years, but they didn't expect that they would end up like this. This also made him even more angry with these men in black, and immediately walked up to the arrested men in black.

I saw that these people were not only wearing black clothes, but also masked with black scarves on their faces. Without asking, they knew that they were afraid that people would recognize their appearance. This made Li Xiu snort coldly, "Those who hide their heads and tails, today I want to see who you are?"

However, just when Li Xiu reached out to pull off the black scarf from the man in black, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because after these men in black were caught, they sat on the ground one by one, not struggling or making a sound, like a dead person. This made him scream in his heart, and he pulled off the black scarf from the man in black with force. He found that the man in black had turned pale and disgusting white foam flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and he had died of poison.

"No, take their chins quickly!" Xiang Shanzhi next to him saw this situation and shouted and ordered. He was a bandit before, and he knew very well about this method of the lower three ways.

Although Xiang Shanzhi's reaction was fast, it was still too late. When Li Xiu pulled off all the men in black's face towels, he found that these men in black were either exhausted or had only one breath left, and it was impossible to save them.

Seeing this, Xiang Shanzhi also yelled angrily, then pried open the mouth of a man in black with a knife, picked out a thin casing from it, and then said helplessly: "This is a poison made of sheep intestines. It can be hidden in the mouth in advance. When used, bite the casings. It contains strong poisons, and there is no cure at all. Generally, only dead men will use this kind of thing!"

"They actually used the dead soldiers. They really respect me!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Those aristocratic families really valued themselves and actually allowed him to enjoy the same treatment as Li Shimin. The last time Li Shimin was assassinated, he encountered such a dead soldiers, and could not even find any evidence in advance.

However, when he said this, Li Xiu suddenly thought that he had escaped all the way before, and many men in black were chopped down on the road, including those who were injured and not dead. This made him shocked: "Brother Xiang, please send someone to search along the way we escaped. There may be people in black. I need the confession of these people. As long as they are alive, I will have a way to pry open their mouths!"

Li Xiu remembered countless tortures in history, especially in later generations, there were many torture methods against spies, and even iron men could not stand it. Of course, if it weren't for such a thing, he wouldn't be willing to use these methods. However, since those aristocratic families have broken up, don't blame him for being rude.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Xiang Shanzhi immediately agreed, and then led someone to find a living mouth. Two of the lesser-injured guards also followed him. It was not until this time that Li Xiu relaxed and felt a stinging pain in the wound on his arm. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous and the blood flowed out was normal.

However, although the wound on Li Xiu's arm was long, it was not deep. He found the wound medicine and bandaged it, and then began to help treat the wounded. After all, he still had some research on first aid, especially some guards were seriously injured. If they were not treated in time, they might lose their lives.

Just as Li Xiu was bandaging the wounded, he suddenly heard a noise in the southeast direction, and then a cavalry rushed from the darkness. At first, Li Xiu was startled and thought that another man in black was coming. As a result, when the cavalry came close, Li Xiu realized that the person in the lead was Princess Pingyang, and the cavalry behind her was the guards in the mansion.

"Why are you here, Madam?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Princess Pingyang coming with the guards in the mansion. After all, he had just escaped from danger and had no time to report the news to the mansion, so Princess Pingyang shouldn't know what he was in danger?

"Husband, you are injured!" However, Princess Pingyang noticed the wound on Li Xiu's arm at the first time, and immediately flew down and asked with concern. At the same time, she also noticed the injured guards, and asked with annoyance, "What's going on? Could someone attack you husband?"

"My injury is fine, it's just a little scratch, but how could you know I'm here?" Li Xiu asked again at this time.

"I was restless after my husband left. I always felt that something was going to happen. When I was in war, I would feel like this. Although it was so mysterious, I saved my life several times. This dangerous feeling came again tonight. I was worried that my husband would encounter danger, so I took the guards in the mansion to chase him. On the way, I saw the lights in Wuzhizhuang. Then I came to check it out, and my husband was indeed here." Princess Pingyang explained.

"So that's it." Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this. This should be the legendary woman's intuition?

"Husband, haven't you told me who attacked you?" At this moment, Princess Pingyang asked again.

"Although there is no evidence for this, it should be inseparable from the aristocratic family..." Li Xiu naturally didn't hide anything from Princess Pingyang, and immediately told the cause of the incident.

In addition, the book printing company caught fire tonight, but he encountered a fu in the middle of the road. This was obviously a plan for the aristocratic family, and even the reactions of Li Shimin and Li Xiu were calculated. It has to be said that Li Xiu was very clever. Li Xiu was indeed trapped. If he had not listened to Princess Pingyang and brought some more guards, he might have been buried in the wild now.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. This time the danger was even greater than the last time he was held hostage by Wang Junkuo. After all, Wang Junkuo's main purpose at that time was to escape, and kill him was just to silence him. The main purpose of this family was to kill him.

"What a group of bold families!" After hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang showed an extremely murderous aura on her pretty face. After saying that, she turned her head and came to her horse, and then flew onto the horse again.

"Madam, what are you going to do?" Li Xiu was shocked when he saw Princess Pingyang's appearance and asked hurriedly.
