Chapter 22: An Unexpected Visitor (Part II)
Jiang Xun's birthday banquet lasted until the night, and the night banquet only had the chairman's table in the main hall, and the other banquet guests had already left, and the guests who were qualified to sit at the evening banquet were naturally some wealthy businessmen in the city, as well as Wang Yunlin, Zhang Jilin, Jiang Bo and Jiang Zheng.
Although the banquet at night was less drumming, everyone was interested, and they were staggered, Wang Yunlin and Zhang Yilin also let go, and took off their usual high side. In front of the gate of Jiangfu, there have been many carriages from various provinces to pick up and drop off.
The guests gradually dispersed, Jiang Xun's fourth and fifth birthdays finally came to an end, and Jiang Xiaobai also sent Mu Xiaoshuang and Zhang Jilin to the gate of Jiangfu. At this time, the carriage that Zhang Fu came to pick up and drop off had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Jilin and Mu Xiaoshuang coming out, the coachman who drove the horse immediately got out of the carriage and helped the drunk Zhang Jilin to get into the carriage.
"Miss Mu, you should be careful" Jiang Xiaobai stood in front of the gate, looked at the two of them, and waved his hand.
Mu Xiaoshuang wanted to get into the carriage, but when he heard Jiang Xiaobai say this, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai. Tonight, Mu Xiaoshuang also drank a lot of wine, and she was already a little drunk at the moment, only to see two peach-colored blush floating on her cheeks, and a pair of watery eyes with a hint of confusion, which looked even more delicate and moving under the reflection of the moonlight.
The two just looked at each other and didn't speak, the picture was quite charming, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to speak, but he also found that he didn't know what to say on this occasion. After a long time, I heard Mu Xiaoshuang say faintly: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu, it's not as good as the name you called me when you were a child." ”
"When you were a child?" Mu Xiaoshuang's words made Jiang Xiaobai inexplicable, and he secretly said in his heart, could it be that he had known Mu Xiaoshuang when he was a child? But he has only been wearing it for three months, and only the memories of his previous life remain in his mind, and how can he know what happened to this "Jiang Xiaobai" body when he was a child, so he touched his nose and asked with an embarrassed smile, "We met when we were children?" ”
"Alas" Mu Xiaoshuang saw that Jiang Xiaobai and the second monk were confused, and it didn't seem to be pretending, there seemed to be a sense of loss in her eyes, she sighed and said lightly, "It's okay, forget it if you can't think of it." Without saying a word, he turned and got into the carriage.
Looking at the carriage of Zhang's mansion slowly leaving in the night, Jiang Xiaobai looked puzzled, tonight, Mu Xiaoshuang seemed to behave a little abnormally, but he was not a straight man of steel, and he didn't understand the thoughts of his daughter's family at all..."I had to find another opportunity to ask Mu Xiaoshuang for clarification" Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, the wine had already surged into his head, yawned, and returned to the room to fall asleep deeply.
...
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xiaobai, who was still asleep, faintly heard shouting in his ears, and gradually the wild dogs around him began to bark wildly, and this noise made him unable to sleep peacefully. Jiang Xiaobai sat up, at this time the wine had not completely dissipated, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, pricked up his ears to listen carefully, trying to hear what was happening, and then, a louder call came from a distance, and the voice seemed to come from the middle of the Jiang Mansion, "There is a fire!" Come and put out the fire! ”
"Misfire?!" Jiang Xiaobai's heart was suddenly shocked, he came to his senses when he was in a daze, and the drunkenness had completely faded, and then he heard an urgent knock on the door, it was Ah Qi's voice, "Young Master, it's not good!" Wake up! ”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly lit the lamp, put on his clothes, and went out to check. When he opened the door, he was choked by the smoke floating in the air above the house, coughing again and again, and he couldn't open his eyes. I only heard the cries around me getting louder and louder, and there seemed to be screams, cries, and cries for help, and the barking of wild dogs became more and more fierce.
Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw Ah Qizheng standing in front of the door in a hurry, he frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter!" How did it suddenly catch fire! ”
"The fire came from the west courtyard, it seems to have been set by man, and now it has spread to the east courtyard!" Ah Qi looked panicked and said in horror, "Not only that, but there is also a group of black-clothed people in the mansion, all carrying big knives in their hands, and they will cut people when they see them, and several people have fallen under their knives." ”
Hearing Ah Qi say this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly thought of the smell of the killing machine that the old man said today, could this be the killing machine that the old man said? How did he know this was going to happen tonight? Looking up, I saw that the Jiang Mansion was already filled with fire, and the courtyard was even more than ten zhang high flames. Jiang Xiaobai didn't think much about it, he tore off a sleeve hard, soaked it in water, covered the front of his nose, and shouted: "Xiao Qi, follow me!" It was to rush to the main house of the East Courtyard, and when he heard the attack of the black-clothed man in Ah Qi's mouth, the first thought in his heart was the safety of Jiang Xun and Mrs. Jiang.
At this time, Jiangfu was already immersed in a sea of fire, the fragmentary sparks flew in the smoke, crackling, a gust of wind blew, the burning fire was even more ferocious, the tongue of fire spread all the way with the wind, licking it, only to hear the roof tiles burst violently, and the tiles flew all over the sky like ice rain. I only saw a group of black people dressed in black clothes and covered with black scarves around the house, each carrying a sharp knife in their hands, and beheading every person, for a while, the subordinates of Jiangfu died and escaped, and some maids were dumbfounded and collapsed in place, and they were injured by the flying tiles and fell to the ground and died in the fire... Explosions, howls, and cries filled the entire Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Xiaobai and Ah Qi rushed to the main room of the East Courtyard, and witnessed the disaster of the Jiang Mansion and the misery of the servants along the way, but he couldn't take care of it so much, and the top priority at the moment was to protect Jiang Xun and Mrs. Jiang. At this time, the man in black was already attacking the two of them, Jiang Xiaobai was already furious in his heart, seeing that the man in black was about to take the knife, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the hand of the man in black holding the knife, and folded it hard, and then heard a "click" sound of bones, which had already broken the arm of the man in black, revealing the white bones.
The man in black screamed in pain, but he soon couldn't scream, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken the big knife in his hand, stabbed it violently, the sharp blade pierced his heart fiercely, and blood spurted out like a spring, the man in black stared, opened his mouth in shock, but he didn't say a word, and in a blink of an eye, he convulsed and fell to the ground and died. This is the first time Jiang Xiaobai has killed someone since he crossed over, but he did not have the slightest hesitation or mercy.
After killing a man in black, Jiang Xiaobai carried a big knife and Ah Qi and continued to rush to the main room. Along the way, the two killed a lot of black-clothed people who came to attack, and the sharp knives in their hands were already covered with bloodstains. The martial arts of this group of black-clothed people are not high, but they are numerous, and they are more like killers trained in batches. When the two arrived at the main room, they saw Jiang Xun and Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Bo and Jiang Zheng were besieged by several black-clothed people, Jiang Bo and Jiang Zheng were protecting Jiang Xun and the two, and they were all injured to varying degrees.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he roared angrily, his body rushed in like a cheetah, and as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up the knife and cut off the head of a man in black, and the plasma splattered Jiang Xiaobai's face and white clothes in an instant. The black-clothed men were all taken aback when they saw Jiang Xiaobai being so fierce, and then they all swung their knives at Jiang Xiaobai.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai had completely disregarded the defense and killed the several black-clothed people who rushed in, slashing, stabbing, only to hear a few screams from the black-clothed people, some of them had their throats cut, some of them had their arms cut off, and some of them had half of their heads cut off directly, and the blood suddenly filled the surrounding air, mixed with smoke, which was disgusting. Jiang Xiaobai's knife will be splashed with blood mist, and he is like a killing god with a bloody face in the dark night, people block killing, Buddha blocking*, the remaining few people in black were shocked by this evil aura and retreated one after another, not daring to step forward again, but Jiang Xiaobai would not let them go, and there were a few screams, and several people in black fell in a pool of blood.
Jiang Xun saw that the people in black had fallen, his originally tense face relaxed slightly, Jiang Mansion suddenly caught fire, and the man in black attacked, he was not as panicked as others after seeing the wind and rain, but when he saw Jiang Xiaobai, who was covered with blood, he was calm, and he opened his mouth wide in shock at this time: "Xiaobai!" He really didn't expect that the son he had raised for 18 years was not only extraordinary, but also a ruthless person who didn't even blink an eye to kill.
Not only Jiang Xun, but also Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Bo, and Jiang Zheng did not expect that when Jiang Xiaobai, who had grown up watching since childhood, had cultivated this ability, and the three of them were all shocked. When he thought about it a lot, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken Ah Qi to the four of them, he wiped the blood on his face, and asked urgently: "Dad, mother!" You're all right! ”
Jiang Xun was so shocked that he couldn't speak, nodded again and again, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine... It's that Uncle Jiang and Uncle Zheng are both injured a little."
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Mrs. Jiang again, only to see that Mrs. Jiang had been frightened by a series of shocks, and her lips were already a little pale at this time, and she trembled and said, "Mother is fine... Mother is fine, are you hurt..."After that, a pair of trembling hands had already probed Jiang Xiaobai's body, Rao is so, the most worried thing in a mother's heart is her son.
"Mother, I'm fine, don't worry" Jiang Xiaobai patted Mrs. Jiang's shoulder and said comfortingly, he knew that now was not the time to explain and speak, so he said to everyone again, "Follow me and go to the back door!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw a number of black-clothed people carrying knives to attack this side, Jiang Xiaobai took Mrs. Jiang's hand and shouted, "Go!" ”
