(Volume 1) Chapter 7: The Siege

"At most, people will come at dawn." Tang Mingyin is confident.

Mu Qinghan was very puzzled by his affirmation, Tang Mingyin also saw it, and then said: "You see that mouth can only deliver food and water, but if people want to live, there must be garbage to be transported out." That's where someone needs to be sent in. As he spoke, he pointed to the stone gate behind him.

"And how do you know it's dawn?"

"What do you think, what if you brought not a fire fold but a flint and steel, and you still have firewood and grass on you?"

Mu Qinghan was puzzled again: "Isn't it soaked at the bottom of the lake?" ”

"But after a while, it may be dry, then you can still light a fire, the climate of the southern tour is humid and hot, and the soaked things are not easy to dry, but it may be dry in about half a day. So within half a day, someone will come to check. ”

Mu Qinghan suddenly realized and sighed: "Big brother, why are you so powerful." This sentence does not have the slightest compliment, for Mu Qinghan, this is the truest portrayal of his feelings towards Tang Mingyin at this time.

"But so they know that I sneaked here?"

Tang Mingyin said: "Not necessarily, there are two doors at the bottom of the lake, and now it seems that the door you came up to give someone to the new room." The reason why the two doors are separated is that I am afraid that it is not a group of people who send them girls and daily maintenance.

But whether it's a bunch of people or not, we'll just have to wait and see. And maybe we're not waiting for the steward here. ”

Mu Qinghan said that he was very puzzled, but Tang Mingyin booed. Gesturing to him to come to the wall and listen.

I only heard a sound inside this Wangyun Tower, and it seemed that there were people moving. But judging from the voice, it should be only one person who wanders within this level. Mu Qinghan just wanted to ask, but he was booed again, only to hear Tang Mingyin say in a low voice: "Have you forgotten the black shadow you saw downstairs just now?" ”

In the midst of his whispering, he heard the voice near. Tang Mingyin said, "Brother, take a look from the window?" ”

Mu Qinghan felt a trace of ill intentions, so he said, "Don't talk to me, why don't you go?" ”

Tang Mingyin immediately said that when did my brother scold you, and Mu Qinghan said: "I don't know who asked me to punch the wall?" ”

"Are you hurt?" Tang Mingyin pushed him back when he asked rhetorically, and as far as Mu Qinghan was concerned, although he said a lot of jokes, he didn't let himself suffer any losses. So, he moved to the three-foot long window and took a look.

What catches your eye is a pair of bright eyes staring at you.

Mu Qinghan was full of excitement, shouted, and then made a gesture to fall backwards. Thanks to Tang Mingyin's timely support, he didn't let him sit down.

Mu Qinghan was also in a hurry, and immediately realized that the person outside the door might be the key to getting them out. Then he shouted, "Who is it?" He hurriedly stretched out his hand to probe, hoping to grab a corner of his clothes or something.

The black-clothed man outside the door was also frightened by Mu Qinghan's eyes and stepped back his legs, the inner and outer windows were narrow and long, but it was smooth to stretch out his arms. The man pushed away only a foot away, and Mu Qinghan's hand flicked to the placket of his chest.

However, Mu Qinghan probed and touched it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with his hand, this round and soft hand felt like an ordinary snitch and a guard. Dare to love that there is a girl outside the door, this can be regarded as an inevitable slap, but this window is narrow and long, and the little girl's palm wind can't blow in. Mu Qinghan felt in an instant that this wall was not useless. But the next moment, he knew how naΓ―ve he was.

Listening to a low cry outside the wall, Mu Qinghan couldn't spit out a word to defend himself, he felt that his arm was dragged and twisted, and the whole thing was captured.

With the angry scolding of a hooligan and lewd thief outside the door, the pain in his arm made Mu Qinghan, a seven-foot man, cry out in pain. He kept shouting, "Girl, spare your life." ”

Tang Mingyin heard something from the lewd thief just now, and only said: "Miss Meng? ”

Mu Qinghan reacted at this time, yes, the voice of the woman outside the door was very similar to Meng Zhichu who met during the day. And Tang Mingyin's words also made the door let go, and pulled off the veil to look again. When Mu Qinghan saw it, it was indeed Meng Zhichu.

When Miss Nameng saw the two of them, she was also puzzled: "You guys? How is it here? ”

Mu Qinghan hurriedly took this opportunity to loosen his wrist, and he was also in a hurry just now, and said, "I still want to ask why you are here...... Wow, why is your little girl so heavy? He shook his fist as he spoke.

Tang Mingyin snickered on the side, but Meng Zhichu looked resentful and rolled his eyes: "It's not that your hands are unruly." ”

At this time, Tang Mingyin came up to the round: "Miss Meng, the matter is complicated, let's talk about it later." It's just, girl, do you have a fire? ”

"Fire?"

So, with Meng Zhichu's unblistered fire fold, the two brothers burned through the wall. During the conversation, Meng Zhichu also knew what the two of them were doing, but he also understood. So she said that she had a close friend surnamed Su. Before traveling far away to practice medicine in Xiyue, Meng Zhichu went south to look for her, but after entering the city, there was no news from the medical centers. Exploring left and right, with a good body, sneaked into the palace of the Southern Tour. From the secret conversation of a red-robed man, he heard about the girl in Wangyunlou from afar, so he came here to look for it.

"Since we're all here to find someone, let's go together." Tang Mingyin proposed that everyone cooperate. There is no better choice between the left and right, and the remaining two have no objections, but for the sake of Mu Qinghan's mistake just now, the two of them have not been less scared. Tang Mingyin had to sigh and shake his head, saying that fortunately, the floor is high, and there are no guards here, otherwise you will be so noisy, and you will already wrap people around, and there is no firewood and grass in the wall for you to stir up.

Saying this was just a mockery of the two of them during the day, but the girl just "tsk" and didn't react at all. It was Mu Qinghan who blushed.

Tang Mingyin said that if the expectation is good, the room he and Qinghan came to is the latest room. Whether it is Gu Xiaowei or the girl surnamed Su, it will only be before and not after. Meng Zhichu said that there was no one for her on dozens of floors downstairs. There are no rooms on the first three floors, they are all platforms and various formations, and there are guards on every fifth floor, Tang Mu and the two of them are the first rooms she came to see on this floor, because when she was downstairs, she felt that this room was very moving.

Also, it's moving stones and smashing walls, so can't there be much movement?

"Then look at it this way, that Miss Su should be on this floor."

So the three of them searched for it on this floor, and it is said that the interior layout of this Wangyun Tower is also very peculiar. There are about a dozen rooms on the first floor, which are square from the outside. But entering the atrium inside the wall, it is a curved curved wall. Looking down from above, this atrium is a circle. There are several entrances for delivering meals on the curved wall, which is the one that Mu Qinghan probed just now. I think it's a place where the people in charge deliver food, after all, hot food and warm water are not easy to transport from the bottom of the lake.

In fact, the method of finding people at the beginning of Meng Zhichu is also very simple, that is, to look at them one by one through this mouth. But in order to avoid the guards patrolling every fifth floor, it really took a lot of thought. Coupled with the mechanisms that appear from time to time, she can see dozens of floors in a short time, which shows that her body is sharp and light.

In order to save time, a few people went to the window separately to look. However, they are not very good people, after all, in the Wangyun Tower, where the guards patrol everywhere, it is obviously not a reliable thing to save anyone who is caught.

In the process of searching, Mu Qinghan not only did not worry, but had a trace of comfort. Because after looking at a few rooms, he really realized that the girls imprisoned in Wangyunlou were beautiful and ugly, and some of them were really difficult to describe. This confirms the previous speculation that this matter has nothing to do with collecting beauty.

Until, he saw this room.

Looking in from the small window, I saw a girl, dressed in a blue shirt, wearing a blue and white plain veil, without red makeup and rouge, sitting on a plain face and looking down, but it didn't look like an ordinary thing from a distance. There is no fashionable bun on the head, but it is very neat, and when the head is bowed, the green silk often slips from the shoulder, like a black waterfall pouring down a little, provoking flowers and plants to celebrate.

Mu Qinghan looked a little surprised, there was such a good-looking woman in the world. I couldn't help but feel excited, but I saw another girl lying on the woman's lap. It was supposed to be sleeping, and the woman gently stroked the girl's back and patted it gently, as if to coax the child to sleep. It's just that the girl who was sleeping looked like she was also a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

But Mu Qinghan exclaimed: "Xiaowei! ”

The sound made the woman look up and see a pair of eyes staring fiercely at the sleeping girl outside the window. Subconsciously frightened, I retreated, but I seemed to get used to it again. Opened his lips lightly and said slowly: "Is it time to deliver food?" ”

"No, no, girl, I mean her!" Outside the window, he reached out and pointed to the sleeping girl. At this moment, Meng Zhichu also heard the sound and saw that the narrow food delivery window happened to be able to accommodate two people where to probe their brains.

"Sister Su!" When Meng Zhichu saw the woman, he was very excited and even a little crying. Thinking about it, the woman was the girl surnamed Su in Meng Zhichu's mouth, and the girl lying on her lap was Gu Xiaowei, who Mu Qinghan had been looking for for most of the day, and it was really fate, and the two were locked up in the same room.

Miss Su heard Meng Zhichu's voice: "Ah Chu? Is that you? ”

"It's me, I'm here to save you."

"Why did you get here, it's dangerous here."

"It's okay, sister, wait a minute, I'll rescue you."

The greetings between the two seemed to wake up Xiao Wei in her sleep, and Xiao Wei rubbed her big eyes in a daze: "Sister Su, are those bad guys here again?" ”

"Xiaowei!" Hearing Gu Xiaowei's voice, Mu Qinghan was even more excited than just now, and blurted out a shout, which made Gu Xiaowei turn around sharply and rush to the window: "Brother! Elder brother! Compared with Meng Zhichu's crying, Gu Xiaowei cried directly when she arrived.

Listening to the crying, Mu Qinghan was very distressed, so he hurriedly said, "Okay" and "Brother is late." These words comforted Xiaowei even more comforting herself.

As a result, Meng Zhichu's fire fold made meritorious service again. It's a pity that there is another good wall, so many versions of the silver, it seems that it is also wrong to pay here.

Tang Mingyin also rushed to hear the movement, but from a distance, he looked like an old friend, coming step by step. When she saw the girl in green clothes and white yarn, she actually stopped. watched them celebrate in pairs, but they didn't dare to step forward to say hello.

Of course, everyone also noticed Tang Mingyin's approach, and Mu Qinghan also said to his sister vigorously, thanks to Brother Tang, I was able to find you. But our Brother Tang's eyes have always been on Miss Su.

Miss Su also saw this person coming slowly, and through Meng Zhichu's reaction, she knew that this person was a friend and not an enemy. Through the glimmer of the night pearl on the wall, she saw the appearance of this magnificent man. For a while, her eyes were different. First it was incredible, and then it was a smile, but the smile was a little bleaker.

Seeing this mixed smile, Tang Mingyin's eyes also lowered. Take a deep breath and put your hands together. He said, "Doctor Su, long time no see." ”

This Doctor Su saw him so polite and returned a thousand blessings. But he said: "General Tang is unharmed, I don't know if the injury is healed?" ”

Checkmate? Mu Qinghan was thrilled when he heard this, he had never heard that Brother Tang was a general, but when he looked back, Tang Mingyin told him that he had been a soldier and had fought a war, so he didn't blame him. Could it be that Brother Tang was still a general in the past?

Tang Mingyin glanced at Mu Qinghan, and then replied: "Doctor Su's clever hand, it was all three years ago. ”

Doctor Su said lightly: "Yes, it's ...... after all" and then raised his eyes, "The body is well treated." Today, thanks to General Tang's rescue, thank you. ”

Tang Mingyin hurriedly said: "Doctor Su is benevolent in all directions, and the Holy Medicine Workshop has saved tens of millions of lives over the years, which should be Dr. Su's original blessing." ”

Miss Su only said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." And he said no more.

Mu Qinghan was a little confused by the two of them going back and forth, thinking that it was old acquaintances and some stories. I don't know what old love debts there are. But now the environment is obviously not suitable for these two for a long time.

And this atmosphere is a little weird, looking at the way Meng Zhi first looked at the two of them, his eyes didn't matter, okay. The mouth is about to go up to the roof, okay, looking at the vicious killing intent in her eyes, I am afraid that Brother Tang must be sad in her eyes.

Mu Qinghan hurriedly played a round: "This ...... Brother Tang and this Miss Su seem to be old friends, let's go upstairs now, why don't we go down and talk again? ”

Tang Mingyin just wanted to say something, but heard footsteps downstairs.

"It's not good, the chasing soldiers are coming, let's go!"

Everyone ran upstairs, but the sound of running not only alarmed the pursuers downstairs, but also the guards upstairs.

"What people!" The pursuers downstairs had already come up and saw the figure who had just escaped. The guard said it was too late and too fast, and pressed an unknown mechanism at the top of the stairs. But I heard that the gears of the whole building were moving, and the sound of wind chimes was endless.

Tang Mingyin sensed with internal strength, and a large group of people approached this layer from the upper and lower directions. "It looks like the early warning mechanism in this building has been activated!"

"What then?" Mu Qinghan was a little anxious.

Meng Zhichu, who was on the side, pulled out the sword behind his back, "What else can I do?" Slapp. ”

Tang Mingyin also breathed and waited: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way." Qinghan, you protect Dr. Su and Miss Gu, Miss Meng, you and I will guard the periphery! ”

"Oh, I don't need you to say it!" Meng Zhichu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tang Mingyin's order.

In the middle of this conversation, the chasing soldiers up and down arrived, and the two sides couldn't help but talk about fighting.

Mu Qinghan has brute strength, but he can't do martial arts, he can only guard. And the main work, of course, has to be handed over to the two people who practice martial arts. But because of Xiaowei, Mu Qinghan did not have the slightest fear, even with his bare hands, he tried his best to dodge and block. Of course, this is also due to the careful protection of the two thugs outside.

Compared with Meng Zhichu's sword, Tang Mingyin only has two palms to defend against the enemy. But this General Tang in Dr. Su's mouth is worthy of being a veteran general in the army. Although it is a scholar's shirt, it is also dignified and majestic when the footsteps are opened.

Most of the guards in the building are sword and shield soldiers, and occasionally one or two archers are also sabers. But Tang Mingyin was not afraid at all, and first directly repelled the two shield soldiers in leather armor in front of him with two palms. A wooden shield came along with him, threw it head-on, and kicked it in the air, pushing the shield with his feet to knock down seven or eight guards at once.

The soldiers on the left and right stood up and slashed, and Tang Mingyin shouted, and the qi waves around his body shook the left and right. The sword and shield were scattered on the ground, but when he raised his hands, the knives on the ground rose up with anger around his body, holding the yuan in both hands, and all kinds of weapons swirled around him.

I only heard him say: "Open!" The knives stabbed at the surrounding soldiers, and dozens of people fell in response. But at this moment, a cold arrow flew from the side. Tang Mingyin wanted to dodge, but there were mostly fallen enemies under his feet, and his pace was blocked for a while.

Just when the arrow was about to hit, it was stopped by Meng Zhichu's flying sword with a "soldier" sound. But looking at Miss Meng, she turned over and flipped a stunning arc in the air. At this moment, Mu Qinghan had the illusion of watching the Northland dance instead of fighting.

Meng Zhichu rolled over and landed, and pulled out the sword that had just flown out. Turning around and standing still, he was back to back with Tang Mingyin, and he didn't forget to say: "General Tang is so good at internal strength, I thought it was just a mixture of silver in the barracks, but I didn't expect it to be a master above the chemical power level!" ”

Tang Mingyin's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth smiled: "The girl praises falsely, if the tone can be softer, it will be more useful to listen." There is also ......" After the words were finished, a palm wind was launched, and this palm power seemed to have a thousand powers. Unexpectedly, the pursuers who had not yet come up and climbed up rolled down a floor. "At the bottom, Heyi Order."

Here I want to say that martial arts in the world all need qi, body, and strength. The cultivation of internal strength is one of the important ways to exercise these basic qualities. For advanced martial arts, the internal strength of various attributes is even more indispensable. Therefore, since the Ning Dynasty, the people of the world have divided most of the warriors into five stages according to the different states of cultivating internal strength, physique, and strength: gathering qi, turning into strength, heavy mountain, heyi, and arbitrary. If you don't reach the Qi Gathering Level, you can only use brute force martial arts, just like Mu Qinghan at this time. And above the Qi Gathering Level, you can be called a martial artist. Without a teacher's teaching or secret cultivation, ordinary people can't become martial artists at all. And even if it reaches the Qi Gathering Level, it is not easy to carry it to the Transformation Force, if the average martial artist does not have ten years of Qi training, he can rarely practice to the Transformation Force, and Tang Mingyin is not too old, but he is already at the Heyi Level. Of course, I was surprised when I first heard it.

Of course, the guards besieging them did not have warriors who practiced internal strength. Therefore, in front of Tang Mingyin, a Heyi level master, it does not pose much of a threat. Of course, if it is a crowd tactic, no matter how powerful a martial arts master is, it is not one. This is the truth that in troubled times, even martial arts are not as good as thousands of troops.

However, how many people can fit on one floor.

Tang Mingyin can still clean up these things, plus Meng Zhichu went to Mu Qinghan's side to help, and the chasing soldiers here are only the captain of the guard with better armor. However, Tang Mingyin's internal force also sensed that there were still large groups of people up and down who were rushing to support. So Tang Mingyin wanted to solve this problem and take everyone away immediately.

But the captain of the guard smiled coldly and touched the wound in his abdomen that he had just been hit, "Do you think you still run away?" With that, he pressed a button at the bottom of the stairs.
