"Do you know where Jiang Shiyou took the person-" Jin Qi asked as he stared at the man tightly, and the muscles on his clenched fists were already bursting out.
"We brought people back to the stockade and handed them to him...... I don't know where he took people...... I didn't ask much at the time-" The man was so frightened that he almost became incoherent, "At that time, I saw that he seemed to be a little stunned, and his speech was a little inverted, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and directly handed over the person to him to dispose of, and the rest was unknown......"
"What?" Song Chunfeng heard the clue suddenly stopped, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Where is your camp?" Jin asked.
"Jiang Shiyou, he's gone! He took people away! Not in our stockade! The matter ...... It's all Jiang Shiyou ordered us to do, and it has nothing to do with us! The man hurriedly explained, for fear that as soon as this cold-faced god passed, he would give them to the nest!
"I dare to say that I have nothing to do with you! Didn't you catch Sakura! Song Chunfeng was annoyed, and smashed a few fists to relieve his hatred.
"Ouch! Spare your life, spare your life! The man ducked with his head in his hands, begging for mercy at the top of his voice.
"Take us to the stockade or not!" Song Chunfeng raised his fist high and threatened loudly.
Maybe you can still find some clues in the past, but it's better than not having a clue here.
"Go, go!" The man who was beaten beyond recognition wailed, and no longer dared to say more nonsense, nodding his head like pounding garlic.
Saving your life has become a problem, and it doesn't matter what the hell is in the camp or not!
It's a while to be able to live a little longer!
"Lead the way!" Song Chunfeng let go of the hand that imprisoned the man's collar. With one kick, he kicked the man forward, and he picked up the scimitar and followed closely behind.
"Wait, wait, wait......"
Just when Song Chunfeng and Shi Qing were about to escort the man and a few men who could still walk, they heard the soft and weak voice of the little girl behind them.
Song Chunfeng glanced back when he heard the sound, frowned slightly and didn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk forward.
As for Jin Qi, it's as if he didn't hear it at all. I never looked back.
Among the three, Shi Qing was the most sympathetic. The tone was slightly reassuring: "This girl doesn't need to panic, they are all seriously injured, and you can't hurt it again for a while." The girl waited here for a while, and soon someone would come to rescue her with an official messenger, who would only have to explain to the official where she lived, and they would escort her back to the house safely. β
According to the arrangement of Jin Qi. After getting the clues provided by Jiang Shipin, he asked Liang Ping and Zhuang to report to the official.
It's just to ensure Jiang Ying's safety. They will come earlier than the officials.
Shi Qing said, although he was in a hurry, he didn't forget to give a salute before turning around.
What a good young man who pays attention to etiquette anytime and anywhere......
"No...... You wait...... "The little girl was a little anxious, her voice weak and a little hoarse. Seeing that Shi Qing was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said with difficulty: "I may know where the girl you are looking for is......
As soon as he said this, Jin Qi, Song Chunfeng, and Shi Qing paused in unison.
"Please speak clearly!" Because I suddenly saw hope. Jin Qi's eyes lit up with a ray of light for a moment.
"I had just woken up from a coma when I vaguely heard someone outside talking to a girl. The girl seems to have the word 'Sakura' in her name...... Later, I didn't hear what I said too clearly, and I vaguely heard the man say that he was going to take the girl to Qingyun Nunnery to worship whom......" The little girl tried her best to tell a few people what she recalled.
"Seiun-an...... Isn't it a nunnery that was abandoned in the early years? Shi Qing's eyes lit up and said, "I know where it is, it's not far from here!" β
"Thank you!" Jin Qi bowed to the little girl who was still lying in the sack, and let Shi Qing lead the way.
Before leaving, he did not forget to swing a sword through the necks of the man and several men, blood gushed out, and before he could even let out a wail, several people had fallen to the ground one after another.
They have been spared until now because they are still useful.
Now that it's useless, there's no need to keep it.
Witnessing this bloody scene, the little girl was so frightened that her seven souls were scattered, and she shouted to stop, rolled her eyes and fell into a coma.
β¦β¦
The capital is mostly surrounded by flat terrain, and one or two stretching green hills can be seen only a hundred miles out of the city, so the geographical location of Qingyun Nunnery, which is only less than 20 miles away from the capital, is not as vast as the name of the nunnery that has the vast momentum of 'straight into the green clouds'.
Qingyun Nunnery is located about five miles behind the cemetery in the western suburbs, the date of the temple is actually far before the cemetery in the western suburbs, and then it is because of the neighboring cemetery in the western suburbs built by the imperial court, it is gradually said that it has become a place where yin energy gathers, unlucky, pilgrims are reluctant to come over time in order to avoid it.
After about 20 years, the nuns in the nunnery walked away, the old and old, and the Qingyun Nunnery, which was full of incense at first, finally became an empty temple in an unclear night a few years ago.
This nunnery, which has been abandoned for several years, has long been forgotten, and only the older generations in a few nearby villages and towns have a faint impression.
And the reason why Shi Qing knew such a place was because when he rushed back to the capital with Mr. Kong a few years ago, he suddenly encountered a hail the size of an egg on the way, and the horse was smashed and refused to run again.
Several people walked around, and really looked for Qingyun Nunnery.
At that time, there was still an old nun guarding the door in the nunnery, who was a very kind old man, who helped them make a fire to keep warm, and was busy boiling ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Shi Qing later went with Kong Fu to visit the old nun, but when he went there a second time, the Qingyun Nunnery was already empty.
I can't say whether it was because the hailstorm was so impressive, which is rare in a hundred years, or because the old nun's kind thoughts were touching. In short, Shi Qing remembers this temple very clearly.
Song Chunfeng drove the carriage in front, Shi Qing, who had broken his leg, sat in the passenger seat to guide him, and Jin Qi followed on horseback.
The distance of five miles was not too far, and several people were in a hurry to save people, and the horses were very fast, so it was only half a cup of tea, and a few people faintly saw the end of a rugged stone road. Trees on both sides. There is a dilapidated temple in the faint eye.
The plaque on the temple is crooked and crumbling, and the four big characters "Buddha's light shines" carved and colored on the outer wall have long been eroded by wind and rain and lost their original color.
At this time, twilight has arrived, and red clouds have risen in the west. The fire is like a fire, and it turns into an extremely magnificent shape at the back of the temple, and the whole small temple is located in this too beautiful dusk, not only does not add half of the life. On the contrary, it adds to the sense of depression and decadence.
"What does it smell ......" Closer, Shi Qing sniffed. The brow furrowed slightly.
"Not good!" Song Chunfeng suddenly exclaimed loudly, drove with one hand, pointed to the Qingyun Nunnery in front of him with the other, and said, "That's not the Fire Burning Cloud ......!" β
That's fire!
"It's on fire!" Shi Qing was stunned for a moment and then exclaimed. Subconsciously looked at Jin Qi, who was riding a horse on his side, but saw that the young man had already flown and rode towards the temple where the fire was getting bigger!
Song Chunfeng also stepped up to catch up with the horse.
"It must have been Jiang Shiyou's fire! This animal/raw! Song Chunfeng said with indignation on his face while driving the carriage. The big eyes that had been staring at me from excessive nervousness had now turned red in the light of the nearby fire.
"Jin Gongzi!" When he saw the young man who was riding a horse come to the hermitage, he suddenly abandoned his horse. Turning to the back wall of the temple, Shi Qing shouted in surprise and reminded: "The fire started from the guest room in the backyard, and the back door should have been blocked by fire at this moment!" Jin Gongzi should check the situation from the front hall first! β
At this time, go through the back door and go in, it's crazy!
But before the words fell, the figure of the young man had disappeared from sight.
Shi Qing was shocked, but he also suddenly came over.
The fire started from the backyard, he saw it, but Jin Gongzi was not stupid, so he naturally saw it too!
If Jiang Shiyou set the fire, then Miss Jiang Ying must be in the backyard at this moment!
Jin Gongzi is risking the greatest danger and trying to find the girl in the fastest way......
Song Chunfeng's mind was straight, and he didn't think as much as Shi Qing, plus at this moment, his whole heart was on Jiang Ying's safety, so he didn't have time to think about it at all.
Caught off guard, Shi Qing was almost thrown off, hurriedly grabbed the reins and got out of the car, but when he looked up, he no longer saw Song Chunfeng's figure.
I could only hear urgent cries coming from the courtyard, one after another.
"Sakura!"
"Sakura, where are you! I'm here to save you! β
"Sakura! Answer me! β
The further he shouted, the more hoarse and trembling the young man's voice became.
There are many trees in the suburbs, and the slightest gust of wind blows unstoppable, and under the action of the evening breeze, the flames suddenly jump even higher, and now not only due west, but even the sky above the entire Qingyun Nunnery is dyed with a touching red.
The heat wave is coming towards people one after another, and the close contact with the fire seems to make people feel that they are going to be roasted alive in the next moment.
Under such circumstances, it added to the fear in the hearts of several people.
Jin Qi didn't know what kind of state of mind he was in at this time.
I've never been so flustered!
He had experienced such a situation once half a year ago.
At that time, Jiang Ying went to Liang Wenqing's birthday banquet and encountered a fire, and he also rushed over at that time, but when he saw the Liang family's mansion burned to ashes, he did not rush in to find someone in a hurry, and the deepest feeling in his heart was only 'I haven't thought about letting her die for the time being'.
Thinking about it in hindsight, there is a contradictory thought: if this variable of hers disappears, will it be easier for him to control the rest of his life? You don't have to be distracted to wonder if someone will accidentally interfere with your original plan.
Thinking about it this way, it was a good thing that she disappeared.
That was all he thought at the time.
But that's not what he thinks now!
He now knew with great clarity and certainty that he wanted her to live well and stand in front of him unscathed!
I won't think about any distractions anymore!
His life has never been afraid of being interfered with by her!
Maybe it's like last time, when he thought there was no hope, when he turned around, he saw her carrying Liang Wenqing on his back Walking with difficulty and being covered in mud appeared in his sight-
This woman's life is far harder than he imagined!
Jin Qi turned around suddenly, but as far as the eye could see, there were broken walls, and firelight splashed everywhere.
"Jin Gongzi, watch your back!" Shi Qing's voice came, bringing Jin Qi back to his senses in a state of amazement.
A burning wooden beam fell from the top, with a "whirring" sound, raised its arm to block, and flew out of the wooden beam, but the clothes on the arm were burned to the point that a large piece was missing.
"Is Jin Gongzi injured?" Shi Qing hurriedly walked over and asked.
Jin Qi shook his head and asked, "Have you looked for it before?" β
"I didn't find Miss Jiangβ" Shi Qing shook her head worriedly.
Jin Qi raised his eyes to look at the three rooms that burned the most.
"Jin Gongzi ......!" Shi Qing saw that Jin Qi was rushing towards the three guest rooms, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and he was about to catch up, but he heard a deafening exclamation from nowhere.
"Sakura! Sakura, wake up! Come and save people, come and save people! The person who shouted hoarsely was Song Chunfeng.
Shi Qing's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was in a dilemma for a while, not knowing whether to stop Jin Qi or save Jiang Ying, who had been found by Song Chunfeng.
After struggling in place for a moment, he finally turned around and ran away.
That's it! Jin Gongzi has extraordinary martial arts, he should have the ability to protect himself, and now he should give priority to saving the girl!
The door, which had already been burned by fire, was pushed open without hesitation by a large slender hand. Rushing into the room alone, looking around to make sure that no one was there, the young man quickly dodged out and pushed the door of the second room.
Still no one......
Jin Qi looked at the last room.
The roof of the house has almost been burned down to the point where only a few beams remain.
Jin Qi still didn't hesitate, kicked it vigorously, and the door shook a few times, but it didn't move at all-
The door to this room was locked from the inside!
Jin Qi couldn't tell whether the love that suddenly appeared in his heart was more joyful or the fear in his heart was deeper, so he immediately pulled out his long sword and shattered one of the doors in a few clicks!
When I raised my foot and entered the door, I saw the corpse of a man who was burning brightly......
There is also a body that is tied to a chair, and at this moment it is also described as being burned by the flames, but looking at its general body shape and clothes, it is undoubtedly a woman! (To be continued) R580
