Chapter 1170: Dajiangge, Turn Back East (10)
There seemed to be wind and rain blowing in the dark night. It was past midnight, but some streets in Jiangning City were still noisy.
"...Hurry up, hurry up, close the door and leave..."
"...Don't take anything too heavy..."
"... Just lock the doors and windows..."
"...Why are you dawdling, you bastard? I'm waiting for you!"
Lu Xian was walking among the crowd, saw Li Duanwu in front of the team, and waved: "Let's go, let's go." He road.
Li Duanwu waved his hand to let the team move forward, and then came closer: "Can you get out at this time?"
"Let's give it a try." Lu Xian whispered , "He Fu offered a price of one thousand two hundred taels... He may not be able to get out, but he has to try."
"... Does he still have the intention to make money at this time?"
"The job of guarding the city gate is said to have cost tens of thousands of taels. If we don't get it now, then how long will it take?"
Lu Xian smiled.
On the afternoon of September 21, He Wen expressed his attitude at the Fair Party conference, and the five parties broke up.
As night fell, the five main branches and senior officials of the Fair Party had already met at their respective locations to discuss countermeasures. After the big strategy was arranged, the branches of each system gathered separately and assigned tasks.
As a middle-level thug of the "Heavenly Killer" force under "King Yama", Lu Xian had already noticed a lot of clues the moment he was summoned, and immediately arranged for Li Duanwu to go back and gather people. Near midnight, after his meeting was over and the task was taken over, he immediately returned to Fangshi where his relatives and friends gathered, asking everyone to pack their things and prepare to leave the city.
Lu Xian was the quickest in reaction and decision-making, and it was because he had hooked up with He Fu during the meeting that he immediately decided to spend money to escape.
Many people in the city have not been able to make such a decision at this time. Including Lu Xian, when he led a group of young men from Lijiacun into Jiangning City, they were aiming for the great future of joining the Fair Party. Yes, most of the gold and silver savings that everyone had accumulated by licking blood from their swords were smashed here. I thought that in the future the world would be peaceful and everyone would become city dwellers. But as a main fighter who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, Lu Xian was surprised and puzzled by what happened today, and he had already sensed the terrifying atmosphere before the tsunami.
He inherited Li Duanwu’s mantle. He was not originally a resident of Lijia Village, but he made the decision in a short period of time. Li Duanwu and others responded quickly and cooperated. They packed up their simple but precious salutes and left at night. Kaipiao is enough to prove his prestige in the hearts of everyone.
However, some big movements in the darkness gradually appeared at this moment.
Starting from the assassination of the fair king He Wen in the north of the nearby Midnight City, waves of warning fireworks rose from time to time in the city, symbolizing that there was another fight somewhere.
This first wave of disturbances mainly occurred between King Hewen of Fairness and King Shibaofeng of Pingping. This is because after the afternoon meeting, Shi Baofeng was assassinated by members of the reading club. King Pingping attributed the assassination to He Wen's instigation, and the assassination of He Wen before midnight seemed to be natural. The plot was attributed to Shi Baofeng. In the name of arresting the murderer, military sage Lin Jiaojiu led people through the two streets belonging to Shi Baofeng, causing chaos in the north of the city.
As the young men of Lijiacun cheered up and each armed themselves with weapons, they escorted the team through the city and headed south. From time to time, Lu Xian, Li Duanwu and others could see the same group being organized. The small group of people who were preparing to transfer the parcels out of the city in a hurry, some of them knew each other and said hello to each other. Communicate information. When it comes to the route out of the city, it is not unified, because "several kings are very likely to leave Jiangning in the early morning."
This is extremely possible news, although it is the most likely one. The five have not publicly announced their break, but privately their will to fight has been basically finalized. Before tomorrow's fire appeared, the mere Jiangning City was already too small for the five people in power who controlled the entire power of Jiangnan.
If the five kings also want to leave the city, it is obviously not wise for other people who are leaving the city to fight with them. But at this moment, it was impossible for the team that had already set off to turn back.
It was past midnight, and the night seemed dark. The evacuation team approached the Boxin Gate in the south of the city. There were still two long streets away from the city gate, and the street entrance was already blocked by the guard team. In the dark night, all kinds of torches gathered, and people were crowded. Lu Xian went over to inquire, and then he learned that although the city gate was guarded by He Fu, the street leading to the city gate was currently controlled by Yao Bingzhi, nicknamed "Danxin General".
This Yao Bingzhi is a person under the command of the "King of Wheels". In short, they occupied this street during the wars in the past.
Both parties are middle-level members of various departments. In the past, there was no personal enmity, and now there are no major differences. What's more, the rumors in the market are now "Gao Tian", "Zhuan Lun", "Equal" ", "Yam Luo" and other four kings fight against the fair king together, and they may still be comrades in arms in the future... Lu Xian went over to give his name, and the bearded Yao Bingzhi came out, and his words were particularly bachelor: he wanted money.
"...You old and young, there are almost two hundred people in total. Ten taels of silver can buy a life, isn't it too much?"
"...He Fu's offer is only three taels of silver. , if you add a plug here, it will cost ten taels each, and I will have to pay an extra round. . You said it’s not too much. If you’re a bachelor, I’ll give you six hundred, so we can have a good relationship.” , there are so many people here, I might not be able to get out if it’s late.”
"...You also know there are a lot of people here. I have nearly two hundred people here. Why don't I walk and block the road for you. If we don't leave, no one should leave."
"...You Dare you not look at this place!"
“…The men who risked their lives and wealth to eat with me are all here. I work for God. You go and find out if I dare…I will survive when it’s my turn, and the relationship will still be the same. Make enemies, Brother Yao, it’s up to you "
Both sides are villains who lick blood from their swords, and the exchange of lips and tongues was filled with a frightening smell of blood. After a brief confrontation, Yao Bingzhi laughed: "Okay, he is a character, Lu Xian. Right, six hundred taels, Yao will marry you as a brother, and we will have the opportunity to be rich together in the future!"
He grasped the important point. Business is urgent at this time, and in fact, there is no time to spend time with Lu Xian here to negotiate the deal. Turn around and go to the next round. Lu Xian said from behind: "Can you let my people pass first?"
The other party waved his hand: "Look at the traffic jam on this street. You can't get through even if I ask you to pass. Just line up, it's faster."
"Then let me go over and see He Fu first."
"Go by yourself." The other party said tolerantly.
With Yao Bingzhi’s permission, Lu Xian climbed up the eaves and walked across the long street. In his field of vision, the teams marching near the city gate were not slow at all. After seeing He Fu, he wanted to bargain. , but this time the price cannot be reduced no matter what.
"Don't come here if you think it's too expensive. If the guy named Yao hadn't stepped in, I would have raised the price. For this round of business, please bring someone here as soon as possible."
This is a trivial matter in the dark night.
After the two passes were negotiated, Lu Xian finally turned back and led the team through the first pass. After passing this pass, everyone walked along the crowded long street. At this time, it was the turn of Chou Yin. , when the night is at its deepest, there are still commotions coming from the distance of the city. Lu Xian walked on the road surrounded by reinforced buildings on both sides, feeling uneasy. He was a person who handled things, and he thought that if someone made trouble in such an environment, it would be great fun.
Halfway through the long street, someone suddenly came forward with a crowd. The leader was He Fu's deputy. The figure following him was tall, but his face was sinister. This was the figure who followed "Heaven" "Kill" He Shuangying, the bodyguard next to Wei Xuwen, has good martial arts skills and a cruel temperament. Lu Xian frowned and his heart sank.
Sure enough, He Fu's deputy came all the way and gave Lu Xian his hand: "General He said, General Lu, you... can't make it through. I'm really sorry."
Lu Xian pointed to the rear: "My people... are all here, how can we go back?"
"This matter... General He doesn't want to do it either, but..." The deputy gestured to He Shuangying behind him.
I saw He Shuangying coming over with a smile: "Lao Lu, you have to do things tomorrow, how did you do this?"
"I will do the things tomorrow, I will send these relatives and friends I will stay when we leave the city."
He Shuangying glanced towards the back: "Lao Lu, you came all the way and did your job well, depend on it. Not only you, but also the brothers under you, Wei Tiansha said, stay here and get things done. From now on, your workshop, as well as the one next to it, will belong to you."
"..." Lu Xian hesitated for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, "We have come here...how to go back?"
"Just don't go out." He Shuangying rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "I'm just a messenger."
While talking, the team was blocked here, and there was a faint commotion from behind. Li Duanwu and several young men from Lijia Village were nearby. At this time, he waved his hand and tried to take the lead in making noise.
"We are asked to turn back here, how? How do you think we can turn back?"
"We are not even allowed to leave the city... They might kill us..."
< br>"Let's see who dares to block the road..."
"I'm going to sit down and let's see who can get out of the city -"
Someone on the street behind shouted: "Grandpa, go faster!"
He Shuangying still had a smile on his face , leaning towards the roadside, showing his attitude: "As long as you can't get out, I don't care if you die here." This was originally the style of work under "Heavenly Killer". Lu Xian's eyes were bloodshot and red. For a moment, he really wanted to kill everyone here, but after a while, he finally waved his hand and ordered: "Leave to the roadside and let others pass - "
More than a hundred people were cursing and huddled on the roadside in a dark crowd. Although Lu Xian and Li Duanwu were angry, they had to try to find someone to communicate with them to see if they could turn back. At this time, the howling night wind in the city was still carrying various commotion sounds. At three o'clock in the morning, a huge chaos broke out nearby.
I don’t know where the light came from, fell on the crowd on the other side of the city gate, and then exploded.
And with the explosion here, there were rounds of fighting sounds in the streets and alleys far and near, which suddenly rose up, accompanied by the roar of cannons, tearing the night apart.
The people stuck in the street were in a panic as if they were being hit by a sea wave. Li Duanwu shouted in his own team: "Formation! Formation! Don't run around -" The young men in Lijia Village temporarily formed a strong perimeter, and then various shouts rang out. .
“Run——”
“The fight begins——”
“The reading club rebels——”
"There is an assassination——"
"The city gate is closed——"
One after another, true or false news, came like a tide. In the light of the torch, there was someone in the distance. During the fight, someone was throwing fire thunder into the crowd. A large number of people were rushing in the direction where they were coming. Lu Xian and others also ordered the young people to draw their swords, clashed in the direction they came from, and ran away.
There were people fighting in the streets far and near, there were people fighting on the rooftops and in the houses, and flames were burning in the chaos.
Lu Xian, Li Duanwu and He Shuangying who were following climbed up to the roof to check what was going on. Not far away in their field of vision, a large-scale fight had already occurred on several streets opposite.
In the early morning of September 22, the largest round of assassinations against the "King of Wheels" Xu Zhaonan began.
Soon after, in the night, rows of cannons began to bombard...
At the same time, at the dock leaving the city at the northern end of the city, the ships in the night had woken up, and some of them were "fair" Personnel from Wang's side are boarding the ship to evacuate.
When He Wen, with a bandage on his body and a faint smell of blood, was about to board the ship, he received a surprising message from a young messenger...
...
The time when Xu Zhaonan will leave the city is uncertain, so there is no too detailed plan to make. Due to the need to act according to the situation, the manpower that can be used is only some confidants who have been around for a long time. After careful calculation, most of them are old people who have followed from the Yujiacun period.
There are three major surnames in Yujia Village, one is Yu, the other is Ling, and there is also the Han family of the fourth junior brother who is married to the younger junior sister. When searching the mountains and seas, he killed his master Ling Shengwei. This time when he arrived in Jiangning, he killed Yu Bin again. Although everyone didn't say anything openly, he couldn't tell whether they had any opinions in private.
But we still made a plan.
For a long time, in order to survive in the cracks, most of the plans he made were safe, but this time it was different. The risks he took were huge. Speaking carefully, it was more like being obsessed with ghosts. The heart aperture. Perhaps due to his usual majesty, the people around him did not put forward too many opinions. After the arrangements were completed, his brother Han Tao sat with him on the roof in the night for a while.
"...Xiao Chu and the others have been sent out, right?"
"...has already set off."
"...There is an explanation between you and Lao Ling."
"...He is dead, and I am still alive. Forget it. What explanation? "
In the dim night, there were only these few words, and then they disappeared in the wind.
Xu Zhaonan chose to leave the city at three o'clock in the morning. This was not a scheduled time. He just ordered to leave after arranging various things. Due to the suddenness of the action, there was not much time to react after learning about this incident. However, after understanding the general direction of the team's march, everyone quickly drew up a charter.
His men were divided into three teams. One team made noises for the assassination, and the other team went to create chaos near Boxin Gate and drove the people out of the city to counterattack in the direction of Xu Zhaonan. Six artillery carts led by Han Tao were directly on the nearby road. Occupy the commanding heights and send off Xu Zhaonan and the masters around him with two or three artillery attacks.
Simple, direct, and often effective.
Soon after, the sound of cannons burst out——
......
Lu Xian, Li Duanwu, and He Shuangying were running on the dim roof, and the people in the distance were Pedestrians were running along the road, and clusters of torches were like lights flowing in the river.
"It is indeed the team of the Chakravartin King..."
Not far away, they could see the convoy belonging to the Chakravartin King driving towards this side, surrounded by soldiers and experts spreading towards the roads on both sides.
"Among the five kings, the Wheel King has the most masters..." He Shuangying said, "Don't get close, lest you be affected."
As soon as his words fell, a sudden sound appeared in the night sky There was a loud noise, and above the tower in a courtyard not far away, the light of artillery fire forced the night away, and countless objects flew across the night sky and fell down on the road in the distance.
Shots fell like raindrops, and then there was an astonishing explosion that set off air waves and smoke. The flags, chariots and horses belonging to the "King of Wheels" were all shrouded in smoke and dust.
Several people's eyes widened.
As an uprising organization that created huge momentum by attacking local tyrants to allocate their land, the Fair Party's expansion in Jiangnan was often overwhelming and one-sided. Although artillery fire was used on some battlefields, people probably believed more in their personal martial arts skills and even their invulnerability after drinking talisman water. This was the first time they had seen such a large-scale assassination using artillery fire.
He Shuangying almost stayed on the roof.
The billowing smoke and dust in front of them has not yet subsided, and the followers of the "King of Wheels" are in a state of confusion on the road. On the road to the side of Lu Xian and the others, there were several figures running towards them because they sensed the bombardment. The person at the head was extremely skilled in lightness, and he threw the men behind him several feet away. When they arrived nearby, they suddenly After hesitating for a moment, he saw He Shuangying standing on the roof.
He Shuangying was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the street: "Mr. Xu, my younger brother He Shuangying, we are meeting at the right time. The assassin is ahead."
The first person who came rushing over was Xu Longbiao, a "Tuohe Sanren" under the "Warrior King". This person is currently the oldest protector beside the "Warrior King". He is not only well-informed, but also He has rich experience in martial arts, and his leg skills are extremely impressive.
He Shuangying is Wei Xuwen's bodyguard and confidant. He always likes to make friends with many masters in the city, and he also likes to brag with others in private. At this time, Xu Longbiao saw him. He kept his distance and walked side by side with the opponent. He said, "Mr. Xu, the Wheel King is attacked. I will help you with your fists." He exerted force with his feet, and his speed was no less than that of Xu Longbiao. In the blink of an eye, Arrived at the intersection ahead.
Lu Xian and Li Duanwu, who were hiding on the roof in the dark, did not show up. They knew that He Shuangying usually kept a high profile, but now his habit of joining in the fun happened again. When King Chakravartin is assassinated, if he follows him to rescue the siege, he will brag about how powerful he is in the future, and he will be able to form a good relationship with Xu Zhaonan; and if Xu Zhaonan dies, it has nothing to do with He Shuangying, and he can still say something when bragging I was there when Xu Zhaonan died.
Xu Longbiao and He Shuangying ran from here to the intersection in front of them. In the blink of an eye, in the dim light, another figure came running at high speed from another street. The two sides met each other at this intersection.
"Mr. Xu, the assassin is upstairs in front..."
"Brother Meng, the assassins are firing cannons in front..."
"Who is this?"
"This..."
What appears from the road over there is vaguely. The leader of the "Resentment Society" had a tall man's head, and even though they were a little far apart, Lu Xian and Li Duanwu on the roof could still recognize each other's identity in a moment. And in just this short moment, Meng Zhuotao had approached Xu Longbiao, and the several entourages behind him met with Xu Longbiao's younger brothers who were behind.
Xu Longbiao noticed something was wrong at the first moment. His body was flying like lightning. With one step, the dust on the ground rose up. Then the direction of his whole body's movement turned at a right angle. In the blink of an eye, He turned to He Shuangying, who had been walking side by side with him.
He Shuangying practiced the double form of tiger and crane. When the crane form was running, the tiger form suddenly jumped out.
Xu Longbiao passed by He Shuangying's side, kicked off the wall on the street, and turned back quickly. His strong leg strength cooperated with He Shuangying's tiger fist to meet the man who had already rushed close. figure.
Xu Longbiao is a long-famous old man, and He Shuangying is a hero who rose to prominence in the "Heavenly Killer". Both of them are top-notch masters in the world at the moment. The combined attack in the blink of an eye is like the roar of a tiger in the darkness. Dragon roars. But Meng Zhuotao was already close, and without stopping, he swung the steel whip out.
On the corner of the street, there was a series of loud bangs, booms, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs. It was smashed so hard that it exploded, and it was unknown whether it was the internal organs or the wall bricks that flew up into the night. He Shuangying retreated continuously, like a tiger being caught by a big hand. The three of them pushed into the courtyard like an out-of-control chariot. Lu Xian on the roof opened his eyes wide, and saw Meng Zhuotao smashing open Xu Longbiao's stomach with a steel whip during the high-speed rush, and holding down Xu Longbiao with his other hand. He hit He Shuangying's face, lifted him up and smashed him on the stone mill in the courtyard, hitting him several times in a row. Before the smoke cleared, the two masters had lost their human form.
The men of both sides had just started fighting each other on the street. Meng Zhuotao ran out from the breach in the wall and smashed the sky ruler with one hand, killing all Xu Longbiao's men in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xian and Li Duanwu were hiding on the roof, not daring to let out their breath. Although they knew that Meng Zhuotao of the "Grudge Society" was the number one murderer in the world, they never expected that his opponent's martial arts skills were so high. When they met, he was killed like a chicken or a duck.
Meng Zhutao only stayed at the blood-stained street intersection for a moment, his eyes looking towards the attic where the gunfire had been fired.
The gunfire did not ring out for the second round.
There is a vague and strange sound brewing in the darkness over there.
The next moment, he waved his hand and led the people around him to rush towards the street where Xu Zhaonan was attacked at high speed.
It is unknown what accident happened to Han Tao, who was responsible for firing the cannon.
The first round of gunfire covered the target, but it was not certain whether Xu Zhaonan was dead.
But no matter what, my side is fast and slow, and still has a chance.
The blood is running through the body. After a round of warm-up, the blood has reached its peak state. Meng Zhuotao's figure is like a demon, rushing towards his prey.
……
The smoke from the bombardment is dissipating.
Amidst the bloody atmosphere, Xu Zhaonan got out of the damaged carriage in embarrassment, and ran forward under the escort of several guards who were also covered in blood.
There were fireworks rising in the darkness, and it seemed that the escort was nearby and was fighting with the enemy.
Among the five kings of the Fair Party, my side has the most experts. I thought I didn’t need to fear any assassination, but I still didn’t expect such a tough bombardment to fall on my head. For a moment, he even felt that someone from the southwest was responsible for the assassination.
If it’s true, then the next second and third rounds... I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape.
Such fear arose in his heart, and at the same time, he saw someone running towards him at high speed, shouting something.
That was Meng Zhutao...
Originally, I could have believed him, but the other party came so fast...
...
Far away The fireworks of the "Resentment Society" to save people had already risen above the street. Meng Zhutao rushed towards the dispersing smoke, and the first moment he saw Xu Zhaonan, he shouted out.
"Don't go over there...go to the east - how is Mr. Xu?"
He approached at high speed as a guide, and even helped up a wounded person on the ground, waving and saying : "Let's go -"
The chaos caused by the shelling just now temporarily broke up the security system around Xu Zhaonan. This kind of strong help can theoretically scare people for a moment. The distance between the two sides entered the range of one foot, and Meng Zhuotao pushed the injured person in his hand forward.
On the opposite side, Xu Zhaonan had already drawn the golden ring sword behind him: "Stop him——" Due to the roar of the shelling, he could not hear Meng Zhuotao's words, so he could see clearly to the fact that the other party is constantly approaching.
In the darkness, smoke and dust spread across the sky. The demon holding the steel whip exhaled and waved the long whip.
On the opposite side, several masters with bloodstains on their bodies stepped forward to meet him.
The waving whip shadows roared up, like fierce roaring dragons, smashing open the skin and flesh of people in a blink of an eye, and the bones and blood flew away. Meng Zhuotao's tall figure crushed the crowd, many Zhaonan is also brave, wielding Wu Jinhuan's broadsword slashed at him, and the two sides exchanged the first blow. In the second blow, his tiger's mouth shattered, and the long knife flew high into the sky. Meng Zhuotao swung his whip and hit Xu Zhaonan's body. Fall head-on with the most violent attitude!
A look of despair flashed in Xu Zhaonan's eyes.
The next moment, right in front of Meng Zhuotao, Xu Zhaonan's body seemed to be thrown backward by a huge vortex. The steel whip smashed into the air, and his body moved forward again. In the smoke and dust in front, A huge figure came forward, followed by half of the carriage frame that fell to the ground, and was dragged and roared by the opponent.
Meng Zhuotao stepped forward to welcome him.
In the chaotic streets, everyone who witnessed it saw an astonishing scene. The moment "King of Wheels" Xu Zhaonan rolled to the back, two figures fiercely fought in the smoke and dust, and half of the carriage frame was involved in the most violent The posture was shattered in the blink of an eye, and the wood chips and steel flew to countless places in the darkness.
"A-Mi-Tuo-Buddha."
The vigorous Buddha's name slowly covered the street.
Smoke and dust dispersed.
Two tall figures, inhuman strong men, faced off on the chaotic long street.
This chapter number... I wish you all a happy single life...
