(Thank you for the big reward of "not old", become a fan of this book, someone to support is the motivation for writing, there is a story in the north of the city, do you have a ticket...... ）

More than 60 miles away from Nanjing City, two Jinyi captains were speeding through the woods with Mu Bin on their feet, and several captains were looking behind them while running, looking anxious.

Several people looked embarrassed, all with injuries on their bodies, and the blood stains on the embroidered spring knife in their hands had not dried. Mu Bin was the most seriously injured, with multiple knife wounds on his body, and the blood was already stained with the originally glamorous python robe. Although several people were already exhausted, they never stopped to rest for a while.

Behind him, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from far and near, and everyone's hearts tightened, and the footsteps became more and more urgent. Not far ahead is the exit of the woods, and out of the woods, you will reach the official road, and you may have a glimmer of life.

When the three of them were about to walk out of the woods, several black-clothed people were already blocking the front, and a pair of eyes colder than ice were staring at Mu Bin and the others like poisonous snakes.

The murderous aura permeated the woods, low and suffocating.

Mu Bin grinned, blood kept flowing from his mouth, and the phlegm in his chest became more obvious between breaths. This was the third group of Assassins, the first two were well-trained and almost killed him, and if it weren't for one of his cronies, he would have died long ago.

Looking at the approaching figure, Mu Bin's heart gradually sank, it stands to reason that he should have arrived in Nanjing a long time ago, but the road has not been smooth since he left Beijing...... The first batch of Assassins began to kill the horses they were riding, and then used the life-for-life style to drag themselves and others to death, which was not just as simple as assassins, but more like a group of dead soldiers.

Mu Bin looked in the direction of Nanjing, and his heart became more and more anxious, the prince was in Nanjing at this time......

Several lieutenants around Mu Bin were ruthless, gritted their teeth and rushed to the man in black, and the two lieutenants who helped Mu Bin took advantage of the chaos to escape, Mu Bin looked back at the captain who was fighting with the man in black, his eyes were red, these were all old brothers who had followed him for many years, but he didn't expect to be lost here.

After about a pillar of incense, the fighting in the woods ended, and several black-clothed people glanced at each other, and chased in the direction of Nanjing with knives......

………………………………………

The sound of firecrackers, the continuous red lights, the fire in the city of Nanjing, the hustle and bustle. Also as in previous years, Nanjing City held a lantern festival from the beginning of the first month, until the end of the seventh day of the first month, a total of seven days of celebration, the city dragon and lion dance, the lights are bright, like day.

The Lantern Festival in the New Year is a rare opportunity to celebrate, people and their families, relatives and friends celebrate together, after dinner, they go out of the house one after another, guess lantern riddles, visit the night market, regardless of gender, young and old, all holding red lanterns in their hands, in this way to say goodbye to the old year, welcome the new year, and pray for good luck in the new year.

After dark, it is bustling. Guessing the lantern riddle is naturally the main theme of the lantern festival, the merchants on both sides of the street have hung the lantern on both sides of the door early, the lantern is pasted with a paper raft, and the lantern riddle is written on it, if someone can guess the riddle, the shopkeeper will take down the lantern and hand it to him with a smile, attracting a burst of envy.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, men and women with intentions write their wishes on the lanterns, and then put the lanterns on the water, and the lanterns drift with the waves, which are very gorgeous. At the roadside stall near the Qinhuai River, Cao Wei's pedestrians did not eat rice balls, but ordered six wontons, and around them, Qian Ning led a group of lieutenants in civilian clothes to secretly guard, and Zhang Meng stood on the right behind Cao Wei with a knife.

"When I first saw the sweet potato, she was dressed in tatters, like a beggar, and she stared at me like that and ate wonton, and then I coaxed her home with a bowl of wonton, but I didn't expect to pick up a big beauty for nothing......" Cao Wei told everyone, her eyes full of smiles.

The sweet potato blushed and gently smacked Cao Wei's mouth, causing the other four to laugh, Zhu Houzhao took Ning Qiang's hand and said: "I will never fool you with just a bowl of wonton in the future, my family is the richest family in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ning Qiang pouted and said: "Net bragging, the richest people live in the palace, and besides, even if they are rich, they have no power or power, and they are not bullied." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face turned the color of pig liver, Cao Wei told him that he must not reveal his identity, so he declared that his name was Zhu Shou, a rich man, and the only people in the entire Nanjing city who knew his true identity were Cao Wei and his wife, Xu Pengju and Liu Jin, who came to Nanjing with him. Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, but was pushed back by Cao's only look, so he had to sit sullenly.

Afterwards, everyone ate wonton while enjoying the night of the lantern festival, whether it is the dragon and lion dance on the street, or the lanterns in the river, it is breathtaking. There was a sound of silk bamboo in the Qinglou tavern, and there were countless drunks who came in and out.

On the crowded street, a scholar in a long-sleeved robe walked towards the stall, the scholar was about twenty years old, drunk, his body kept shaking from side to side, one hand in his sleeve, and the other hand was still carrying a jar of wine.

When he walked behind Cao Wei, the scholar suddenly threw the wine jar, and a snow-bright dagger appeared in his hand hidden in his sleeve, which was stabbed into Cao Wei's back like lightning!

Zhang Meng, who was standing behind Cao Wei, faintly heard the sound of breaking the air, felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and happened to see the snowy knife shadow.

Before he had time to draw the knife, Zhang Meng raised his hand to lift the embroidered spring scabbard on his waist and slammed the scholar's wrist holding the knife.

"There are assassins!" Zhang Meng shouted.

Cao Wei was the first to react, holding the sweet potato and rolling to the table, the scholar saw the school captain who was gradually surrounding, and then looked at Cao Wei who had rolled away, his eyes flashed with disappointment, picked up the dagger and stabbed him in the chest, and then fell to the ground with a bang, blood flowing all over the ground.

All this happened in just a few breaths, and the other four were stunned, and then their faces showed a look of horror, the sweet potato body trembled, his hands wrapped around Cao Wei's waist, and shouted in his mouth: "Xianggong run, run......

Zhang Meng leaned over and put his hand on the scholar's nostrils, and then shook his head at Cao Wei, who breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand on the back of the sweet potato to calm her fear.

At this time, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the streets several meters wide are very lively, all kinds of sounds are noisy, dragon and lion dances and lanterns attract the attention of pedestrians. The boss who sold the wonton was the first to notice that something was wrong, and saw the dead man lying on the ground through the surrounding lights, and ran away in a hurry with a scream, which tore apart the original sound and attracted many people to stop and watch.

Subsequently, some pedestrians who figured out the situation around also fled with screams, and for a time there was chaos on the street and the crowd was chaotic.

Just when everyone was relaxed, Cao Wei's pupils suddenly shrank, and Ning Qiang looked at Cao Wei's eyes, only to see a dagger suddenly appear behind Zhu Houzhao, the dagger was as fast as lightning, and it was about to pierce Zhu Houzhao's back in the blink of an eye.

Ning Qiang took advantage of the situation to block behind Zhu Houzhao, and then his face showed pain, Cao Wei plucked a hairpin from the sweet potato head in a panic, and without waiting for the assassin to react, he flew over and inserted it into his throat......
