469: Retreat, night attack
In the second half of the night, the Chinese New Year's Eve, which was originally held once a year, suddenly became martial law in the whole city.
No one knew what the elite soldiers were looking for as they roamed around the city.
Someone secretly said that it was an assassin in the city who injured the nobleman in the Mingyue Tower, and the Jin family was trying their best to hunt down this unidentified assassin.
As for who the noble person who was injured was, it is unknown.
……
When Xie woke up, it was already the next morning.
She opened her eyes, she was still a little dazed, she had been unconscious for too long, and she couldn't react for a while.
Until the personal maid rushed to the side of the bed with red eyes.
"Second lady, you can be regarded as awake!" The maid choked and said, "You were injured in the back of the head by a thief last night, and the doctor came to see you and said that you could wake up in the second half of the night, but the slave and maid kept you asleep all night, and you were really scared to death slave-"
"Wait!" Xie suddenly interrupted her.
Her face changed, and she asked the maid, "How is Miss Kong?" Is it a big problem? ”
At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the other party acted quickly, leaving them too much time to react.
But the man in black seemed to be coming for Miss Kong......
"Miss Kong?" The maid was frightened by Xie's changing face, shook her head a little hesitantly, and replied, "The slave heard that there were only you and a lady holding a child in the backyard last night, and I haven't heard of Miss Kong......"
Haven't heard?
Xie Shi's face suddenly changed again.
Why haven't you heard of it......
Something must have happened!
Otherwise, why would you also block the news from the people of the Jin family?
"The second son can be in the house?" She asked hurriedly.
"The second son is busy tracking down the assassin's tracks, and he is not in the mansion."
Xie Shi wanted to get up when he heard this. But because the action was too sudden, his eyes turned black for a while, and his thoughts became trance.
The maid hurriedly helped her to lie down, and persuaded worriedly: "Madame, don't move, the doctor has explained, although the injury on the back of your head is not serious, but it hurts the vital point, it is best to recuperate for three or five days - the assassin's matter, you have your own second son to deal with it, so don't worry about it." ”
Xie Shi closed his eyes, but his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.
What happened to Miss Kong?
Who was the man in black last night?
……
Elm Alley. The Liang family's mansion.
In the side hall, you can sit or stand. A hall of people.
Liang Wenqing and Song Chunyue stood beside Zhuang who was sitting on a high-backed chair and whispered relief.
However, their faces were not relaxed at all.
"Chunyue, can't you think of a clue here?" Liang Ping asked for the third time.
Song Chunyue raised her head to look at him when she heard this, she hadn't been able to close her eyes since she woke up from a coma in the second half of the night. At this time, his face was very haggard. The eye circles are also red and swollen.
"At that time, I was talking with Ah Ying and Mrs. Jinji in the porch. The man in black suddenly appeared, and he and his accomplices were all dressed in black and masked, and they couldn't see their appearance at all...... They were closing in on us. I almost injured Ah Rong, I was protecting Ah Rong wholeheartedly, and before I could react, I was knocked unconscious from the back of my neck. ”
Speaking of this, he said with extreme self-reproach: "I really shouldn't have asked Sakura to take me to the backyard to see any plum blossoms...... Otherwise, it won't give those people a chance. ”
"How can I blame you for this." Liang Ping sighed worriedly: "According to your description, they must have been premeditated and had a clear goal, that is, they went to Sister Ying'er." ”
Zhou Jingping gently patted his wife's shoulder, frowned and did not speak.
"Who the hell is going to kill Ah Ying!" Fang Da and Fang Er also sighed in annoyance on the side, they really regretted that they were too drunk last night and couldn't go out with Jiang Ying.
Dongzhu stood on one side, bowing his head and not talking much about his usual noise.
Everyone regretted that they couldn't be by Jiang Ying's side last night.
But where could this kind of thing be predicted in advance?
"Now I can only wait, I can only wait for the news from the second prince and Prince Ying." Confu, who had not spoken for a long time, had lost his initial panic, but his tone was still full of worry.
There was silence.
Kong Fu added: "They didn't hurt anyone with heavy hands, and they took Jiang Yatou away, which shows that they have no intention of hurting her life." If not, there is no need to go through such a big effort...... They may have other plans, and it is not known what they have in mind. ”
"If only it was as Mr. said!" Zhuang choked up but said hatefully: "No matter what they want, I can give it to them!" ”
Just don't hurt her baby.
"But now Sister Sakura's illness can't wait too long! I'm afraid that if we can't get her back, she will already ......" Speaking of this, Zhuang really couldn't hide his grief and fear, and he almost fainted with emotion.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to appease.
……
When Jin Qi returned to the Liang family from outside, he directly found Zhixu alone.
Zhixu was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.
"How's it going? Can anyone find it? He hurriedly stepped forward.
"How much longer?" Jin Qi didn't answer the rhetorical question, his eyes were scary.
"Didn't find it?"
As soon as Zhixu heard this, he was anxious: "My medicine will be refined the day after tomorrow, but now I have lost it!" ”
"How long is it going to be!"
Jin Qi's suddenly raised voice frightened Zhixu.
"What's the use of you yelling at me......" He frowned, pinched his fingers, and gave a deadline.
"Half a month at most. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, if no one can find her, it will be difficult for Rao is Daluo Immortal to save her. ”
Jin Qi didn't say a word, turned around and strode away.
Half a month, half a month!
He will definitely be able to get her back in half a month!
……
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Jin Qi came out of Liang's house, he set off to Ruan Ping on the same day.
Zhixu, who had packed up his two old robes and the gossip compass, also followed.
Jiang Langzi also went together, and Dongzhu wanted to be together. was stopped by Jiang Langzhengse.
It's really not fun to do this time.
Dongzhu rarely got entangled, and promised to stay in Beijing, helping him keep an eye on the movements around him, and take care of the Zhuang family.
She didn't know why Jiang Lang and Jin Qi went to Ruan Ping, but since they went, they would definitely be able to bring Ah Ying back.
In the Yining Palace, the Queen Mother recently began to eat fasting and chant Buddha, praying every day.
……
Nguyen Binh Jin's military camp.
Song Yuanju's face was full of shock and anger.
"Despicable and shameless!"
With a "snap" sound, he slammed the letter he had just read in his hand on the bantam case in front of him.
This is what the Han family military camp has just sent a messenger to transmit.
There was a fierce battle the day before yesterday, and the two sides were evenly matched. On the occasion of a temporary truce. The other party sent a messenger again, and he was still wondering what the hell Han Chengji was up to again.
But I didn't expect this to be a coercive letter!
Shi Qing hurriedly stepped forward, bent down to pick up the letterhead, and solemnly swept the contents of the paper. Immediately there was a big shock.
How can it be!
Han Chengji actually threatened the girl. Let them retreat to Nguyen Binh!
How could the girl be kidnapped by the Han family's army!
"No wonder...... No wonder I heard that there was a change in Beijing a few days ago. It turned out that Miss Jiang had a bad pool! Song Yuanju was angry, and scolded: "What bullshit Han family, the two sides are at war." even involved innocent and weak women as bargaining chips! It is really a lieu to claim the descendants of the Shi clan, the bones of integrity! ”
He really wanted to rush to the Han family's military camp right now and personally behead him Han Chengji's head to vent his anger!
"It's the worst of the best." Shi Qing rarely scolded a swear word, although he was also angry, but he was also calmer than Song Yuanju, "But first, it is unknown whether this matter is true or not, and secondly, if it is true, it should be the first to be entrusted to the master and let him make a decision-"
As he spoke, he sat down beside the desk in his robe, and immediately took a pen and paper to write an urgent letter.
However, as soon as he picked up the pen and wrote two words, he heard an urgent report from outside the account.
"Boss, the second prince and Prince Ying have come with their troops, and they have arrived outside the camp!"
Song Yuanju was stunned when he heard this, and immediately strode out of the camp tent.
Shi Qing also dropped his hand and got up suddenly.
Outside the camp, Jin Qi and Jiang Lang had already dismounted, and before Song Yuanju and Shi Qing could greet them, they had already entered the camp directly.
"Master!"
Song Yuanju, who had just walked out of the commander's camp and had not walked more than ten steps, saw Jin Qi, who was full of awe-inspiring air, striding towards him, although Jiang Lang's masked face could not be seen clearly, but his aura was also cold and compelling.
Shi Qing and the others stepped forward to salute, and as Jin Qi strode back to the commander's camp, after waving back to the two soldiers who had entered with him, Song Yuanju immediately handed the letter to Jin Qi.
Needless to say, and looking at the description of the master, you must have expected something in advance.
It was less than five days since he got the news of martial law in Beijing, and today was only the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the master and Prince Ying hurried to Ruan Ping, thinking that Miss Jiang must have really had an accident this time!
"Brute!"
Jiang Lang's voice was like a stone sinking to the bottom of a lake, causing an uproar, he clenched the letter tightly into a ball, and said angrily: "I want to see how much skill his Han family has, and he dares to do such a stupid thing that kills himself!" If Ah Ying has the slightest mistake, he Han Chengji will never want to leave Liangzhou alive! ”
"Retire the army-" Jin Qi opened his mouth to these two words.
"Master......" Shi Qing seemed to hesitate.
He is not hesitant to save Jiang Ying, people must be saved, terrible but afraid, even if he retreats, Han Chengji sees that they are so easily captured, and he will take the opportunity to make other requests, and he will not let people go.
That's the kind of person who can do anything.
"Withdraw immediately." Jin Qi reiterated heavily.
Song Yuanju's face turned pale, and his voice greeted Sheng loudly, "Yes!" ”
It's just a city, and he can fight back one day!
Shi Qing didn't say much.
What they can think of, the master must have thought of it, but the most important thing now is not to deal with Han Chengji, but to ensure the safety of the girl.
The master must have his deeper considerations, he only needs to work with the master to try how to rescue the girl as soon as possible-
The wind howled outside the tent.
The first month of the new year has just emerged, but Ruan Ping has no trace of youth inside and outside.
Around dusk, the doors of shops and houses are closed, and few pedestrians on the street are bent down and their heads are hurried.
The Jin army, which was supposed to fight with the Han family to the end, suddenly withdrew its camp without warning after the battle the day before yesterday, and now it has retreated to Wuling, which is a hundred miles away.
In one day, Nguyen Binh suddenly became an abandoned city.
The war seems to be getting closer and closer to the capital.
It's just that what they didn't expect before was that it was not the rebellion of the kings that really destroyed their homeland, but the warriors.
The dim sunset slowly fell into the western mountains, and the darkness gradually swallowed the afterglow into the belly.
……
"Hahaha, I really retreated to Wuling!"
In the Han family's military camp, the black-robed man laughed excitedly and mockingly.
He didn't expect that Kong Xi's chip would be so useful! easily controlled these tens of thousands of Jin family troops!
The next moment, the hideous smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and in its place was indescribable coldness and jealousy.
Well, that's great!
Jin Qingyun actually allowed his grandson to do such an inappropriate thing for a mere woman, it seems that the power of the Jin family has been completely held by Jin Ran!
That's something he hasn't been able to get in exchange for decades!
But it doesn't hurt!
All this, sooner or later, will be his!
On top of that, he has to pay back a thousand times the pain that those people inflicted on him!
"Hahahahaha......"
……
In the dark night, the gloomy canopy of the sky was pressed low, the sound of the wind gradually subsided, and the slightest movement of the wind and grass could not be heard, but it was so stuffy that people seemed to be out of breath.
Outside the Han family's barracks, the soldiers stationed there stood guard with guns, and their immobile figures were like cold sculptures in the night.
I don't know how long it took, but the night breeze in my ears started again.
"Whoa—"
A very fast wind-breaking sound rolled with cold air whistling towards you!
The soldiers suddenly looked up, only to see cold light approaching them one after another.
The armor-piercing arrow pierced through the hard armor and sank into the flesh, making a "poof" sound.
"Someone attacked the barracks at night!"
"Someone attacked the barracks at night!"
"Quickly move your troops to defend!"
The flames lit up instantly, and the sound of armor and weapons clashing mixed with the sound of the commanders' orders.
"Boom-"
Suddenly, tongues of fire rose up in the wind, provoking a panicked shout.
"It's the direction of the grain and grass camp!"
"Protect the commander's camp, and the rest of the people will follow me to encircle and suppress the people!"
The black-robed man, who learned that someone was attacking at night, was slowly getting up from the couch and arranging his robe.
He put his hood on, and walked out of the tent with a cold look in his eyes.
Raiding in the middle of the night, the main force has retreated to Wuling, and there is no preparation in advance, how many people can they bring here? It's just an egg hitting a stone and sending him to death in vain.
He had a good hand, but he was mistaken by his feelings, and he had never seen such a ridiculous stupid person again!
He stepped out of his tent and looked in the direction of the commander's camp.
The fire inside the tent was bright, and the outside of the tent was heavily guarded.
Shadows were attacking in the direction of the Commander's Camp.
Seeing this, the black-robed man couldn't help but sneer.
first was threatened to retreat, and now he wants to forcibly rob people, can this formation be more chaotic?
"I can't do it." He didn't look any further, but turned back into the tent.
Standing on the side of the table and pouring a bowl of tea, just about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly heard an extremely chaotic restless sound outside, and occasionally a terrible shout.
The black-robed man listened intently for a moment, and his eyes suddenly changed! (To be continued.) )
