Chapter 30: A Stormy Night
If you don't run, you'll definitely die!
In the middle of the night, the road was slippery, the wind and rain were strong, and he rushed back to his yard with all his might, hoping to quickly call his wife to escape from Xianyangfu together. But as soon as I walked to the door, I found that
Not necessarily.
He paused abruptly and watched the other man in black walk out of the courtyard, the blood stains on the narrow knife washed by the heavy rain and flowing to the ground. As far as the eye could see, there were men in black coming and going, and the blood stains on the knife fell down the blade and merged into a small river on the ground.
The screams in the torrential rain were tiny.
Ban Zhengye knelt on the ground, his head blank, and all thoughts were lost.
watched the murderer of his wife and children come to him,
He raised the narrow knife in his hand.
I'm going to die.
It's all your own fault.
But it's too late to regret it.
He only hoped that the other party's knife would be faster and not too painful. Let him hurry up and reunite with his family.
The torrential rain poured down like pebbles, and the sound of the rain falling to the ground was deafening. In contrast, the blade is cold and silent, but it is more deadly.
The knife fell silently, but it brought up a stream of air, and the moment it hit the neck of Gong Zhengye,
At this very moment,
The raindrops hitting the body paused, and the crackling sound of the rain disappeared,
The whole world in his ears changed from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and he was in a trance for a moment.
In a trance, a few clear lines of dialogue came into my ears.
"Is that what you want Princess Ben to see?"
The words that asked knowingly were only greeted by silence.
After a while, the crisp female voice said coldly: "Princess Ben has seen it." ”
The voice is cold and emotionless.
The other party was still silent.
After a long time, a male voice said slowly: "I thought that I would only kill Gu worms in the local county magistrate and be controlled by him, but I didn't expect them to kill them all......"
The female voice asked again, "Jiang Zuo, do you know about this?"
"Back to Your Highness, Cai Ziwei was indeed just a Gu worm on the local governor passing by His Highness in the past, I don't know why this time, it actually ......"
"Okay, Jiang Zuo, clean them up. The female voice paused slightly, and said coldly, "Search the soul and find out why they are following this princess." ”
The words came to an end here, and Ban Zhengye hadn't thought about what the words he heard meant.
I felt a gray light flashing between the heavens and the earth, the heavens and the earth collapsed, lightning streaked across the heavens and the earth, and then thunder exploded, and the torrential rain poured down.
Ban Zhengye opened his eyes suddenly.
He found himself on the bed in the room.
But the murderous aura that seemed to be real still lingered around his neck. He shuddered again and turned his head abruptly. With the flash of lightning, I saw the man in black holding a knife in front of the bed. The cold blade reflected the brilliance of lightning. In an instant, the flash disappeared, and the torrential rain fell, crackling on the tiles overhead,
The man in black was gone.
Dream?!
The scene of Fang Cai was vivid, Ban Zhengye was shocked, sat up in the dark, listened to his wife's gentle snort, and finally calmed down a fluttering heart.
He got up and closed the doors and windows, thought for a moment, gave up the intention of going out to check, and lay back on the bed and hugged his wife tightly.
In the sound of heavy rain and tiles, I soon fell asleep.
……
In another place, in the midst of the storm, hundreds of people wore hats and braved the rain to enter Xianyangfu.
Converge at the county gate, divide into dozens of squads, and quietly advance in Xianyang Fu from different directions.
As if you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that the teams are implicated in each other and echo each other, which can not only fight separately, but also help each other left and right, no matter what kind of terrain, you can ensure that the formation is not chaotic.
More than a dozen squads formed a huge encirclement, and the center of the encirclement was the county magistrate's mansion.
Before the team cleared the obstructors and surrounded the county magistrate's mansion, one person had already reached the top of the destination first.
The storm does not touch his body, the gossip robe does not mess with the dust, Zhong Xiuzhen stood between heaven and earth out of thin air, and the raindrops automatically bypassed him, forming a vacuum of wind and rain. The young man in the Dao robe stood in the air, looking down at the strange scene below.
Hundreds of black-clothed people stood straight in the rain curtain, their eyes blank and unmoving, silently enduring the invasion of wind and rain. Shadows deeper than night shot out from all the feet, winding and stretching, all connected to one person.
Zhong Xiuzhen's gaze was fixed on that person for a long time.
"Hey, Xu Heng, I didn't expect to see you here. However, who is this?" Zhong Xiuzhen's eyes lingered for a moment between the girl in the goose yellow palace costume and the young man in black, and his heart moved, and he suddenly thought, "Could that be the princess of the rivers and lakes?!"
Although the appearance of the princess of the rivers and lakes below is very different from the rumors, based on Xu Heng's whereabouts, he almost confirms that Xu Heng has really found the princess of the rivers and lakes.
"It seems that the situation below is very delicate," he stroked his chin, thinking much in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he had an idea, "It seems that the battle plan needs to be revised!"
The young man in the Taoist robe flipped his palm and took out a stack of blank rune paper, threw it into the air, drew more than a dozen runes out of thin air, pinched the trick, and the rune paper passed through the rain curtain and distributed it to the captains of each team. Pass on the new battle plan.
Seeing the rune paper disappear, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze looked back at the ground.
"God bless me, I can encounter such a good thing on a mission!"
"Xu Heng, I want you to die!"
Zhong Xiuzhen's expression was gentle, and he gently spit out fierce words, causing all the raindrops in mid-air to be stunned.
……
Heavy rain poured over most of Xijing, as well as within Xijing.
In the general's mansion, Su Su lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, slowly got up and came to the window, opened the window, looked at the begonia outside the house that was blown by the wind and rain, and silently calculated the time.
"It's the third day. ”
Su Su said softly.
"You said you'd be back in four days. ”
I thought of the words I heard in the haze, and the cool kiss on my forehead.
There was a slight smile on the woman's lips.
At the same time, Su Can, the father of the plain girl and the God of Wealth, also couldn't sleep all night.
Cloak came to the window, and saw the same rain curtain as her daughter, but she was thinking about something else:
With storms, muddy roads, and mountain roads that are prone to landslides after rain, will the Panlong Legion be able to arrive on time?
The purple gold jade bottle has not yet arrived, will there be an accident on the way?
In recent decades, the power of the countries in the Western Regions has been expanding day by day, and they have long been unwilling to be vassals to the Yang Dynasty, and they are ready to move.
In this case, the tribute sent the purple gold jade bottle, and there must be a conspiracy in it.
Recently, there has been a general movement in the Western Regions and the two prefectures of Xijing, and several major forces are acting in secret, and the information in their hands has become more and more complicated, making the situation more and more chaotic.
It's hard to choose.
Sometimes, it is better to have more information than not to have it.
But as long as there is an action, there must be a purpose and an intention. All that needs to be done is to peel back the cocoon, take all the information into your head, eliminate the unnecessary and irrelevant, and the rest will only be the truth!
Su Can is familiar with this way of thinking, but he has rarely used it in the past ten years, but fortunately, he hasn't forgotten it, give him a little time, and he can return to the original Su Can.
He is extremely confident in this.
