Chapter 299: Retreat (13)
The man standing at the door of the hotel was none other than Wang Shixin. Half a day ago, after Ji Sun informed everyone to evacuate outside the city, the two of him and Wushuang were supposed to retreat together, but halfway Ji Sun and Wushuang played a racing race, Wang Shixin was left far behind, he was almost tired and paralyzed and couldn't catch up with the two people in front, so he simply took a taxi halfway and rushed here from another road.
When he arrived, he was worried that he would miss some information from the outside when he entered the hotel, in case someone gathered at the hotel gate and didn't come in, or even more simply just passed by the hotel and left. If you are in the hotel, you don't know the situation in the outside world, and it may happen that everyone has fled, and you are still waiting in the hotel. This is a bit not good, so when Wang Shixin arrived at the hotel, he simply stopped next to the door, stared at a pair of big eyes, and checked the situation in the vicinity back and forth, as long as there was a hint of wind and grass, he would be taken into his eyes.
When he first arrived here, after waiting for about half an hour, he didn't see Ji Sun and Wushuang coming behind, and what made him even more uneasy was that not only Ji Sun and Wushuang, but also the other inn guards he didn't see a single one. Tell everyone to gather here? Why is it only me?
Wang Shixin kept beating the drum in his heart, thinking that those people would not take this opportunity to leave themselves here to fend for themselves. But then again, what is your identity and strength? If anyone present wants to rectify himself, he doesn't have to spend so much time.
It's weird. Wang Shixin muttered. Because of the chaos in the city, near the outer ring road, there are often cars leaving one after another, which is the ordinary people fleeing Jinguan City. Some of them were vigilant and hid out early, and some of them were late for a while, and suddenly saw a car driving out of the city, heading in the direction of the hotel, but this time before the car approached, a crossbow bolt suddenly flew out and stuck obliquely into the driver's chest.
Before the out-of-control car rushed out of the road and into the ravine next to it, a person rushed out very quickly, jumped into the car, threw the driver who was killed by the arrow, and rolled into the ravine next to him. The car was driven by the man who jumped up from behind, turned a corner, and drove back into the city.
Wang Shixin, who was hiding near the entrance of the hotel and only showed a pair of thief eyes, saw all the processes in his eyes and wondered in his heart. He didn't know that during his time here, the small circle of the city close to Jinguan City had already been inseparable, and everyone else rushed to fight, but he was the only one who had a great fortune and came here by mistake, perfectly avoiding the big battle in the city.
At this time, he saw a large group of people walking towards him, and his heart became a little more uneasy, and he did not know whether these people were friends or foes.
If he used to say otherwise, he could still judge whether the other party was from the inn by his clothes, after all, the people in the inn usually wore Mao suits. But after coming to Jinguancheng, he was surprised to find that the inn guards he met were not wearing Mao suits.
He took more careful steps to hide behind an inconspicuous green tree next to the door, and then he poked out half of his head, and carefully observed the group with one eye, and made up his mind that if he sensed the slightest mistake, he would turn and run for his life.
When he saw a familiar person among the dozens of figures, his heart finally became ecstaticโhe saw Yingcang.
A few months ago, Li Qianshan's master and apprentice had designed to hunt Xu Guan and was beaten up, and it was reported to the inn at that time. The two who arrived in Yannan City later were Ying Cang and Jiang Ke. However, there was no Wang Shixin who participated in that incident at that time, so he had not seen Yingcang at that time. He had received the love of the orange cat at the time, and had already withdrawn from the matter.
The first time he saw Yingcang, it was in the Yuqing Palace. At that time, he was pitted by Li Qianshan again, and several of them were under house arrest by the Lich Clan, and after he took the opportunity to escape, the first thing he thought of was to go to Yuqing Palace for help and refuge.
When he hurriedly rushed into the Yuqing Palace, Ying Cang was about to leave with the orange cat in his arms, and the two sides met in the vermilion corridor in the palace courtyard. Because of his sudden arrival, Yingcang and the orange cat turned back again, and only then did they learn that the Lich Clan was searching for human cultivators. At that time, the two of them also had a few short conversations.
Wang Shixin finally met an acquaintance in this strange city, at a moment of crisis, this acquaintance is still the iron guard of the inn, not to mention how surprised he is. He immediately rushed out from behind the tree, opened his arms and waved, and ran towards Yingcang in the crowd, shouting as he ran: "Brother Yingcang, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!"
For such a person who suddenly rushed out from behind the tree, all the iron guards were shocked, and they were immediately vigilant, but after hearing the man call Yingcang a brother, they knew that this was an acquaintance, and relaxed again.
Ying Cang heard someone shouting to herself, looked up, and saw Wang Shixin running over here.
"Brother Yingcang, when I was in Yuqing Palace, do you remember me?" Wang Shixin was afraid that Yingcang would not be able to remember such a small casual cultivator, so he reminded the other party before he spoke.
"Wang Shixin. "Yingcang has always had a good memory, and he also recognized the person who came. Turning his head to the puzzled guards around him, he introduced: "He is the Daoist Lin Yao of the Yuqing Palace, well, he may be the apprentice of the Daoist Lin Yao." โ
"Could it be?"
Without waiting for Ying Cang to explain with a headache, Wang Shixin had already come to him. He glanced at the people who came with Ying Cang with his eyes again, his face was full of smiles, and he kept arching his hands to those people: "Ah, you are all the iron guards of the inn, look up for a long time." This time, I followed my family teacher to Jinguan City, just to fight side by side with you and fight the lich together. โ
Hearing Wang Shixin mention the lich, the anger on everyone's faces became a little stronger, and they gritted their teeth one by one, and they didn't have the heart to be polite to the three generations of disciples of the Yuqing Palace, and everyone walked towards the hotel with a majestic spirit.
When Wang Shixin saw everyone like this, he also felt their anger, and wondered in his heart, where did he get such a big anger? Also, he said that he would meet at this hotel, but he had waited for a long time and no one came, but at this time, these iron guards came out of the city at the same time, could it be that they set up another secret assembly point in the city?
Thinking of this, Wang Shixin was inexplicably unhappy, your inn also does this kind of thing in front of the face and behind the back? !
However, he didn't show it, and followed Ying Cang's side, and while following everyone towards the hotel, he seemed to be able to ask in Ying Cang's ear: "I see that everyone is not in a good mood, is there something going on in the city? Didn't we say that we would come here to gather? I waited for a long time and no one came, why did you gather in the city? Could it be that there was some emergency, so you had to gather urgently in the city?"
"You don't even know anything?" Ying Cang glanced over at him, a little disbelieving in his heart. He knew that the people of Yuqing Palace had never treated Wang Shixin very well. And in the past, I also knew a little bit about Wang Shixin's personality, he was timid and afraid of things, sleek and sophisticated, and he didn't save him when he died. At that time, he was imprisoned by the Lich Clan with his friends, and only he ran out by himself, and after running to Yuqing Palace to tell the story, the first thing he thought of was not how to go back to save his friends, but how to stay in Yuqing Palace and be protected by the Taoist leaders in the palace. From this point of view, Ying Cang does not look down on Wang Shixin.
However, in today's matter, Ying Cang really misunderstood Wang Shixin. Wang Shixin ran away from following Ji Tian and Wushuang's ass, and then took a taxi with the two of them to come here, during which he didn't have the opportunity to learn the contact information between the inn's iron guards, so he really didn't know that a big battle broke out next to a certain section of water in the Jinjiang River.
Sure enough, Wang Shixin said innocently: "I really don't know anything." Brother Yingcang, what happened, you tell me. โ
"In the process of retreating, we discovered the battle between the Dao Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain and Yuqing Palace and the Lich Clan, so we stepped forward to help. There was a fight, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Ying Cang said briefly, as everyone had already entered the door of the hotel.
"Ahh
"When we came, the Dao Elders and the two Heavenly Iron Guards of our inn were still entangled with the Lich Clan's Dharma Protector, and we don't know what the outcome will be. Ying Cang said, and walked up the stairs with everyone, because there were too many people, the elevator could not go up, and everyone had to swarm up the stairs.
"Oh. Wang Shixin thought of Wushuang and Ji Tian again: "Do you know that there is a martial artist named Wushuang, and a red-haired iron guard with us, how are they both?"
"The red-haired Iron Guard is dead. Killed by random arrows. Ying Cang felt a heartache when he thought of Ji Tian lying in the snow with crossbow arrows all over his body, and that red hair was so dazzling in the snow. He took a deep breath, suppressed the tears that were about to overflow, turned his head to look behind him, and stretched out his finger to Wang Shixin: "The one who is resisted on his shoulder is Wushuang." โ
"Wushuang?" Wang Shixin also looked over, on the shoulders of an iron guard, carrying an upside-down person, Wushuang's face was buried underneath, and he couldn't see his face clearly. It's no wonder that when I just observed this group of people, I didn't recognize Wushuang. "Even a martial artist as powerful as him was injured like this?"
"Mr. Huangfu was killed in battle, what is it strange that he is injured like this?" said Yingcang bitterly.
"Ah, even Mr. Huangfu is dead?" Wang Shixin knew that Huangfu Yi was a great master who could be on an equal footing with Mu Fengdao, the great disciple of Yuqing Palace, but even this great master was killed in battle, how tragic was the fight?" "So many people died?"
"yes, so many people died. Even our retreating companions outside the city were killed by the oncoming lich with crossbow arrows. Ying Cang followed everyone into the corridor of the floor, and said in a resolute tone: "We are about to take the weapon and go back to fight with them!"
"Retreat out of town, do you mean the one who drove the car?"
"That's right. Ying Cang was walking towards the room, and suddenly paused: "How do you know?"
"I saw it. Wang Shixin blurted out: "I saw someone shoot him, snatch the car, and drive back to the city." โ
When everyone heard this, they all stopped, and each stood in front of or near the door of their room, turning their heads and staring directly at Wang Shixin.
Yinglang's hands were on the doorknob, he stopped moving, frowned, and looked back at Wang Shixin: "You said you saw it?"
"Yes. Wang Shixin's voice was a little lower, a little scared.
"Why didn't you stop that person?" Ying Lang was angry, he didn't expect this to watch the iron guard being shot in front of him and the car being snatched away.
Then another voice sounded: "Don't you know that the car is a dead monster of the Lich Clan?
"Why didn't you stop him?!" another voice rang out.
Wang Shixin's face was bitter, and he was very aggrieved in his heart: I really don't know! I didn't wear a Mao suit, how did I know that it was you Tiewei who was driving, where did I know that it was the Lich Clan who killed and hijacked the car, and where did I know that there were five dead monsters in the car?
"Stop. Ji Yu was calmer and said to everyone: "Don't blame him." How could he possibly know that? He didn't know anything. Besides, even if he wants to stop it, he can stop it with his ability?" "Ji Yu, a three-rank sorcerer, is at the level of a quasi-master, and it is still very easy to see through Wang Shixin's cultivation geometry. The others are also too angry and have nowhere to vent to blame them like this.
Ji Yu pushed open his door: "Take the weapon you have and go back to fight with the Lich Clan." Chentou'er They don't know how much faster than us, but they haven't retreated back until now, and they are too troublesome to get out. Then he went into the house.
"Go back and save Chentou'er and Ji Xun's seniors!" Yinglang also pushed open his door and walked in.
Everyone else went back to their rooms. Wang Shixin let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the others finally stopped looking at him so angry that they wanted to eat people, only to find that his back was soaked. "Don't be so afraid. They won't do anything to you. โ
Ying Cang comforted him like this, and walked quickly to his room.
At this moment, the entire corridor was empty, and only Wang Shixin was left standing there with palpitations, helpless.
