This is a chapter that I said yesterday~ Today's flowers and collections are so few, continue to call... Give me more reasons!!

————————————————————————————————————————————————

The official road from Hangzhou to Nanjing is excellent, smooth and wide. As the main road from Kyoto to Jiangnan, the imperial court still attached great importance to it. Duan Zhong and his entourage set off after the afternoon, and if they hurried, it would only take three or four hours to enter Nanjing City. Even if the speed slowed down a lot because there were three female dependents in the car, he could dare to enter Nanjing City and find an inn to live in.

Although Nanjing, as the capital of the Southern Liang, is extremely tightly controlled, and the city gate has already been closed at night, who is Duan Chong? The eldest brother of the prince of Nanliang worships the master, and he still has the gold token in the palace pinned to his waist, even if he enters the palace, no one dares to stop him, let alone a small city gate? So along the way, when Duan Zhong saw the pedestrians rushing towards Nanjing, he could also leisurely kick the horse's belly and turn around to tell Su'er a joke.

However, seeing that it was only twenty or thirty miles away from Nanjing City, how could it be that the heavens were not beautiful, and there was a crackling thunder. Duan Zhong touched his nose and found that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting denser and denser, and a heavy rain was probably inevitable.

Thundered!

The sound of thunder grew louder and louder, and all the dark clouds gathered together. There was a shocking sound, and a bolt of lightning swept across the sky, suddenly marking a big hole in the entire sky, and the dark sky was suddenly bright.

Duan Zhong frowned, there was still some distance from Nanjing City at this time, if he rushed to it now, he would be able to enter Nanjing City if he fought for a torrential rain. It's just a rainstorm, I'm afraid all the books in the car will be destroyed, and the three female dependents traveling with me are not very convenient. No matter how you think about going into town at night, it's not a good choice.

Zhu Siwen on the side had already rushed up to ask Duan Chongdao: "Little master, I'm afraid this rainstorm is coming, should we find a place to shelter from the rain or continue to hurry?" ”

Duan thought for a while and said, "Su'er, their girls' house is drenched in heavy rain, and this carriage is not good for wind and rain. I think there should be a post station outside Nanjing, so let's go ahead and find a post station to stay. It's good to re-enter Nanjing City tomorrow. ”

Zhu Siwen nodded, this was also the plan in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "I'll tell the brothers to speed up." He turned back and went to the back carriages.

Duan Zhong looked at the lightning in the sky, frowned, and suddenly remembered something, glanced at Jiang Mingchen who was riding a horse on the side and said, "You hurry up and go to the front to inquire and see how far the nearest post station is from here." ”

Jiang Mingchen was slightly stunned when he heard the order of his little master, but finally didn't say anything. With a "drive", his legs kicked the horse's belly, the galloping horse neighed, and he rushed forward as if flying. After three or five clicks, he disappeared from Duan Chong's sight.

The lightning was wild, the thunder roared, Jiang Mingchen rode a horse and galloped quickly in the official road, and the cold hurricane did not slow down the speed of the run at all. Jiang Mingchen squinted his eyes, looked ahead, and finally saw a little light flickering in front of him for a mile or two, and then took a closer look, it was indeed a post station. Jiang Mingchen nodded, he could finally go back to the errand, and was about to turn the horse's head and return to his life, but he heard a thunderous sound of "crackling", followed by a flash of lightning, and there were raindrops floating in the sky, and in an instant, they crackled into a line. Torrential rain poured down.

Jiang Mingchen didn't bring a robe, and his whole body was drenched in rain in an instant. However, this is nothing, as a royal guard, you always have to complete your tasks loyally. So he still resolutely pulled the reins and prepared to return.

The two soft sounds of "whoosh" and "whoosh" reached Jiang Mingchen's ears. Although in the pouring rain, Jiang Mingchen can still clearly distinguish many kinds of sounds, which is years of experience. So Jiang Mingchen did not clamp the horse's belly, but rode a horse to stand in the rain, letting the rain wash over his body.

"Whoa!" A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, lit up the sky, and dispelled all darkness in an instant. And in the next instant, the boundless darkness invaded again. At this moment, a silver light appeared in Jiang Mingchen's line of sight, mixed with the crackling sound of rain hitting the blade.

Turning over suddenly, Jiang Mingchen jumped off the horse. This sword came extremely fast and powerful, enough to pierce itself. Therefore, Jiang Mingchen wisely chose to abandon the horse and avoided this blow directly and concisely.

"Whoa!" At the moment when Jiang Mingchen abandoned his horse, another flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and when he looked up again, the black shadow that had just hit had disappeared. However, in an instant, darkness invaded here, and a silver light flashed again, this time, it came from another direction.

Two assassins!

Jiang Mingchen's heart froze, but his movements did not slow down in the slightest, and he made another sharp leap, rolling his body to the side with the dirt. The two assassins are very powerful, and each of them is not under his own martial arts cultivation, this is the judgment given by Jiang Mingchen for the first time.

However, Jiang Mingchen is a large internal guard, a royal martial arts master, and he is not afraid of one-on-one or even one-on-two fights. However, at this moment, Jiang Mingchen is facing two killers in the rainy night, two killers who are unscrupulous, and may not even fight Jiang Mingchen in person, all martial arts skills are so powerless in front of these two killers, and if it is an ordinary royal master, even if there is a second-stage martial arts cultivation, I am afraid that he will die here long ago.

Jiang Mingchen had no choice at the moment, let alone time, and dodged the hidden weapon from four directions with one swoop, but the clothes on his body were still scratched a large piece, so he was not injured. Obviously, rushing out at this moment and slashing in the dark night was the stupidest choice, so Jiang Mingchen chose to escape into the darkness.

As if he was familiar with the road, Jiang Mingchen jumped into the woods next to the official road, his footsteps always maintained a very high speed of movement, but he did not make any sound. This is an essential quality that people who walk in the dark must have.

As long as he enters the darkness, even if there are two more killers like this, Jiang Mingchen is not afraid. Because the night is its own world. At this moment, Jiang Mingchen felt very excited and excited, this is the passion that he has hidden in his blood for more than ten years, and it has re-ignited in such a rainy night of thunder and lightning.

It seems that the long years have not exhausted their old bottom. Therefore, Jiang Mingchen had the confidence to deal with these two assassins in the dark night. A sharp dagger came out of his bosom, and he spun around and slashed towards a dark shadow in the night.

These two shadows followed each other very naturally, and they didn't expect that the person in front of them would find their traces in the dark night, but in the face of the sudden attack, he still maintained the demeanor that a master should have, and suddenly turned over and retreated, narrowly avoiding Jiang Mingchen's killing blow.

Jiang Mingchen sighed silently in his heart: if it had been ten years ago, this assassin would have died under his dagger. Sure enough, it's still a lot rusty. However, it doesn't matter, Jiang Mingchen naturally won't give the two shadows in the dark night more chances, with a light click, his whole body jumped up in the air, but it appeared right above the two black shadows.

A smile flashed on Jiang Mingchen's face, and he could leave someone behind no matter what. However, there was the sound of horses' hooves clattering on the official road. This was the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry with Duan Chong's group.

And the two black shadows invariably raised the dagger in their hands and threw it at the convoy speeding on the official road. And Jiang Mingchen chose to turn over, shoot, and block the dagger. only heard two soft sounds of "pop", and the two daggers thrown at the convoy were shot down by Jiang Mingchen. And these two black shadows did not hesitate at all, and invariably chose to retreat.

Seeing these two black shadows disappear into the darkness, Jiang Mingchen spat with a "phew", picked up his dagger and stuffed it into his arms, and walked to the official road to meet Duan Chong's convoy.

Duan Zhong had already put on his coat at this moment, and looked at Jiang Mingchen who was embarrassed in the middle of the road, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Jiang Mingchen shook his head: "I met two little thieves!" Little master, this post station is ahead, let's lead the convoy to rest first. ”

Duan nodded his head, waved his hand behind him, signaled to continue walking, patted his horse and rode past Jiang Mingchen's side, and left a sentence: "It seems that you are really suitable for the night." ”

Jiang Mingchen's body was shocked.

The rain was still pouring down. But Jiang Mingchen had already wiped his body dry, changed his clothes, and was standing in Duan Chong's room at the moment, motionless.

Duan Zhong didn't speak, but watched the candle burning on the table get shorter and shorter, shorter, shorter and shorter. I don't know how long it took to finally raise my head and break the silence of the world: "I heard that you were nicknamed 'Lightning' when you were young?" ”

Jiang Mingchen's body was shocked, and he immediately returned to calm: "The little master investigated clearly. But those are all old things, and the current Jiang Mingchen is just a royal guard in Dali. ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "In the past, the second assassin in the world was naturally not suitable to be the position of the royal guard. And you, only belong to the night. ”

Jiang Mingchen's mouth pursed: "The little master is laughing, I haven't washed my hands for many years." ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "I know you still want to return to the night." ”

Jiang Mingchen's body shook again.

"Help me!" Duan Zhong said the two words he had always wanted to say the most.

Jiang Mingchen raised his eyebrows: "How can I help?" ”

"I'm going to form an organization in the dark. So, you're going to help me. ”

Jiang Mingchen was silent. Duan Zhong sighed: "You can think about this." Duan Zhong paused, but copied another poem and read it out: "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light!" ”
