Chapter 34: Almost Falling Short
Shen Lian walked out of the lobby and saw a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists in the courtyard, and said in their hearts why so many people came at once, and Lao Tzu didn't plan to set up a banquet, so he came to eat one by one.
Just as he was about to scold, his heart suddenly moved, and his expression became vigilant.
Because the faces of these brocade guards in front of him were very unfamiliar, he was sure that he had never seen these people before.
Jinyiwei is not going to recruit people from the people casually, many of them are inherited by Lao Tzu's dead son, and some special approvals are counted. In other words, there are only new people in the entire Thousand Households to join, and it is necessary for him, the Lord of the Thousand Households, to nod.
Obviously, these people can't be new, and there can't be so many new people at once.
The most important thing is that the way these people look at him makes him feel an extreme danger, just like a hunter looking at a prey that has been locked by his own arrows, and he does not have the humility and flattery that those Jinyi guards used to look at themselves as a thousand households.
Then there is only one possibility: these people are all fake brocade guards!
Thinking of this, Shen Lian's heart suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, knowing that the person who came was definitely not good, and he seemed to have fallen into a dead end that had been designed by someone a long time ago.
Although the expression on Shen Lian's face remained unchanged, his footsteps stopped, his eyes looked around for his henchmen, his body arched slightly, and he was ready to retreat.
"That, you are all staying in the courtyard, and one person from each hundred households will come out to report on the situation you have tried, and the one from Nancheng will come first." Although Shen Lian had realized that this was a game against himself, he was still confused by these fake brocade guards.
He didn't want to be restrained, and his instinctive desire to escape made him want to give it a go.
The reason why he dared to think so was because he had left himself a back road, a back road that only he knew.
Shen Lian has never been a person who is not afraid of death, often people who are not afraid of death will leave a way back for themselves, and Shen Lian is certainly no exception.
His back road was the bed behind his signing room. The bed was turned down and there was a secret passage, and when he got out of the secret passage, he was already in another house.
Although the house was nominally someone else's, he bought it privately, and this was the way back he prepared for himself.
Preparing himself for a back road is his usual practice, and he never thought that he would really use this back road. But today's sudden death situation has put this back road to use.
It's a pity that God often doesn't follow people's wishes, just when Shen Lian made a statement to confuse his opponent, the general flag behind him who was just a big sycophant suddenly pointed at the fake brocade guards below and scolded loudly:
"Are you deaf, you dear? I didn't hear what Senhe-sama said, what are you doing here......"
Shen Lian secretly screamed badly, scolded the fool in his heart for harming himself, and didn't care about anything anymore, his body suddenly retreated quickly, and rushed in the direction of his signature room.
When the fake brocade guards who were already eyeing Shen Lian saw Shen Lian like this, they knew that their identities had been recognized, so they no longer hesitated, and immediately divided into three teams, one team went to chase Shen Lian, one team surrounded and suppressed the remaining brocade guards, and the last team guarded the gate to prevent anyone from escaping.
In order not to reveal their identities too quickly, none of these Black Ice Terrace Iron Guards who pretended to be Jinyi Guards carried bows and arrows, so the weapons in their hands were only embroidered spring knives.
Lord Qianhu suddenly rushed to the road, and before the other Jinyi guards could react to what was going on, they were chopped up by the "own people" who rushed up like chopping melons and vegetables.
Just now, half of the head of the fox fake tiger was cut off with a knife, and there was still a shocked expression on his face, obviously he didn't know why he died.
Shen Lian is the most important part of the Black Ice Terrace's plan this time, if he escapes, then the Black Ice Terrace's plan can basically be declared aborted.
And once Shen Lian is allowed to escape, it will be really dangerous. Yuan Chonghuan will definitely learn the news immediately, and if he dispatches a large army to blockade and clear the Black Ice Platform, then the Black Ice Platform Iron Guard is no matter how elite and brave it is, it will definitely not be an opponent.
Shen Lian's signing room is in the second courtyard, and his current location is the lobby of the first courtyard.
In order to reach the signing room, you must first pass through the lobby of the first entrance, and then through the courtyard of the second entrance, to reach the lobby of the second entrance, and his signing room is in the left wing of the lobby.
At this moment, Shen Lian had already rushed out of the lobby of the first entry and fled into the courtyard of the second entrance.
This courtyard is a hundred steps wide, and as long as he escapes this courtyard, the possibility of his escape is greatly increased. When people are fleeing for their lives, their potential is stimulated, and Shen Lian, who is usually pampered, actually ran out of the peak speed of his life at this moment, and his body jumped rapidly, and he had already run a third of the distance of the entire courtyard.
The pursuers behind had just rushed out of the lobby that had entered the courtyard first, which meant that the other party was still thirty paces away from him.
Shen Lian glanced back, his heart was settled, and he continued to run desperately.
At this time, a light figure suddenly jumped up from the chasing team, lightly on the shoulder of a person in front, and the body had jumped out five or six steps away, and the person had not yet landed, his toes were on the ground a little, and the whole person rushed forward again.
In this vertical and one-ounce pounce, the distance between him and Shen Lian had been shortened to twenty steps.
The figure continued to grow from ape-like light and swift, and the distance between a few vertical leaps was less than ten steps away from Shen Lian.
At this time, Shen Lian was already less than ten steps away from the steps of the second hall.
Shen Lian heard the sound of the wind behind him, his heart was horrified, and he ran desperately. Just as he was about to step up the steps of the second courtyard lobby, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him: "Come back to me!" ”
Then he felt the back of his neck tighten, and the whole person suddenly flew backwards like a cloud, and then fell heavily to the ground, in severe pain, rolled his eyes, and almost fainted.
The pursuers who caught up behind him quickly took out the rope and tied Shen Lian to a knot.
"Keep searching, don't let one go. Let's see if there are any secret passages and secret rooms. If you resist, you will be killed! The light figure that was chasing Shen Lian just now commanded the fake brocade guards behind him.
"No! Son. The crowd surrendered their orders and began to search.
This person is none other than Bai Jinxiu, the boss of the Black Ice Terrace.
This plan was decided by her on the fly, and she naturally had to rush to preside over it herself, otherwise it would be easy for others to make mistakes.
She also changed into Jinyiwei's clothes and blended in the crowd. I didn't plan to make a move, but I didn't expect Shen Lian's vigilance to be so high and her response to change so quickly, if it weren't for her light work, she would almost fall short.
Half an hour later, everyone came to report, all the brocade guards were purged, those who surrendered were stripped of their clothes and locked up, and those who resisted were all killed.
And the eyeliner who was letting off the wind on the street didn't find any unusual movement in the government or the border army, so Bai Jinxiu put her heart down.
At this moment, all the Jinyi Guard forces in Datong have been cleared, and Bai Jinxiu's is almost half completed, and the remaining half is the most important part.
However, looking at the brocade Wei Qianhu in front of him who was tied up with five flowers and had a dejected face, and then looked at his calligraphy on the table, Bai Jinxiu knew that his plan was basically not much of a problem.
