Chapter 127: Watching the Sunset (I)
Heavy rain does not sleep, but people have to sleep.
The last few lights were drowned in the vast night, Jiangning City was completely silent, and a few dog barks sounded from time to time, probably scolded by the owner, and it was quiet again with a few whines.
In the dark and oppressive night, the entrance of the vegetable market is full of strange colors, usually too many people have been killed here, there are already a lot of mysterious rumors, this kind of sky in front of me, it makes this place like a nine secluded mansion, there is a terrifying atmosphere everywhere, no one dares to come.
But almost all the people in Jiangning City know that the nearby shops are full of government officials, and a few well-known catchers have each brought people to guard the night, and in some rooms behind, a group of officers and soldiers in bright armor hold their weapons tightly in their hands, and their eyes are staring directly at the night.
In normal times, these soldiers and ruffians would complain all the time, but after knowing that the prefect was dead, they completely put away those careful thoughts, and deliberately stammered the civil officials who were always in the past. Everyone knows that the commanders and envoys have personally led their troops to the front battlefield at this time, and those of them who stay behind are not careful, and they really can't eat and walk around. Therefore, they paid great attention to the appointment of Jiangning Mansion and did not dare to slack off.
It's been two nights like this, and this is the third night, and the soldiers at the bottom have complained about it, but under the pressure of the superiors, everyone doesn't dare to show it.
Almost everyone's eyes in the vicinity stopped at the table set up at the entrance of the vegetable market, and on the pillar of the platform, the person was stubborn, and they all wanted to rush up and stab a few times.
In a restaurant farther away, a gap opened in the window, and even though they knew that they couldn't see the situation at all, the people in the room still looked over there, in fact, in the past few days, only at this time can they look in that direction with some emotion.
The woman, dressed in men's clothes, had red circles in her eyes, and it was not obvious in the night, she looked in the direction where the platform was located, and was speechless for a long time.
Since the incident, they have really caught off guard, and even took advantage of the intrigue between officials to take Jiangpu County as their base camp and take most of Jiangning Mansion, with more than 50,000 people under their command......
However, once accidentally, the think tank of the entire team was broken, and the imperial court hit them harder, but they were always able to support it. Their mission also retreated from the front to the background, trying to rescue the think-tank.
Jiangning City several times running, they did not find the slightest opportunity, originally thought that the vegetable market entrance public display in the past few days can find an opportunity, but the officers and soldiers are closely guarded, so that they have no way to start, although they have a few good hands, but the tiger can not resist the wolves in the end.
Just recently, Jiangning Mansion transferred troops everywhere, and she originally thought that her family had made a big move to add bargaining chips to their rescue operation, but this was not the case. The person who sent him back to find out the news has not yet returned, and everything seems to have reached a dead end, and he does not know what to do for a while.
Retracting her gaze, she looked at the few people sitting quietly in the room, and said, "Let's all go and rest, and change places tomorrow......"
At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps downstairs, and in a panic, everyone stood up, and although they couldn't see clearly, they could detect that all eyes were on her.
She whispered, "Be prepared!"
Everyone found their own weapons and made defensive moves, and after a while, the voice stopped outside the door, and at the same time the shopkeeper's voice sounded: "Guest officer, disturb late at night, Xiao Lao'er will compensate you first, the official of Jiangning Mansion will check the room, please open the door......"
In the night, several people looked at each other, and then someone came to the window, opened the window and looked down, and then turned back and nodded.
"Guest officer......" The shopkeeper called again.
The woman knew that the other party must have come for her own party, so she turned around and was about to give orders to break out, but she heard a loud sound, and a riot broke out in the house.
"Tiehu, you ......" followed by a surprised voice, and before he could finish speaking, he had already stopped.
"People die for money, birds die for food, everyone, I'm sorry!"
I probably noticed the movement in the room, and someone outside burst out, and then I should have opened the shopkeeper and kicked the door.
The woman retreated from the door and said, "Brothers, leave quickly, I will break off with you!"
In this small room, chaos is frequent. Everyone was in a hurry, and in a panic, there were several exclamations.
"Everyone, the government has surrounded the inn, you can't escape, if you want to live, put down the knife in your hand, and take down Lu Hongying with me......" Tie Hu's voice rose again, and at this time, he had already cut down the two of them while he was in chaos, and a pair of eyes sparkled, piercing the night.
The officers and soldiers at the door had already blocked the door, and the torches illuminated the small space.
"Tiehu, you bastard who eats inside and out!" Someone scolded.
Tiehu shook his head and sneered: "We are originally from the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are also deceitful, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, you want to die, but I Tiehu doesn't want to die!"
Tiehu looked at Lu Hongying who was close to the corner of the wall with a pair of triangular eyes, and opened his mouth: "The imperial court has issued a summoning order, and the army will go on the march, which of you can survive?"
Lu Hongying's beautiful face turned yellow against the firelight, she frowned, and the murderous moment appeared.
"You knew it beforehand?" She asked.
Tiehu nodded: "Chen Asi came back yesterday, he told me about the situation over there, and I voted for the imperial court!"
"You killed Ah Si?"
"Of course."
The atmosphere was solemn, and the captain at the door snorted coldly: "What are you talking about, there is an order from above, and those who rebel against the people will be killed!"
In the end, the small room could not fight on a large scale, Lu Hongying took out her long sword and stabbed it.
The rest of the people followed suit, but they probably saw the situation, and someone attacked their companions.
Lu Hongying's face was pale, she was angry, her throat was sweet, the blood rushed up directly, she swallowed it forcefully, and with an angry roar, her figure spread, and the sword light coldly crossed the neck of the person in front of her.
"Red Sakura, you go!"
A figure approached her and said eagerly.
"Third Uncle ......"
"Let's go, don't talk nonsense, the third uncle is old, it doesn't matter if he dies, you are still young......"
Tiehu seemed to be happy to watch this scene of dying and struggling, and he didn't make a move, but when he heard this, he finally stepped forward and said, "She can't go."
With a wave of his hand, those who had taken refuge in him launched at the same time, attacking, sawdust flying and blood splattering.
The third uncle's hard work finally sent Lu Hongying to the window, half of the middle-aged man's face was stained with blood at this time, and blood splashed between his words: "Let's go, let's go, don't get involved in those things anymore!" Find a stable family and have a peaceful birthday......"
"Hmph, I said I couldn't leave!" Tie Hu stepped forward and sighed twice: "Her head is a thousand taels, not to mention...... Such a beautiful person...... How can you let ...... go"
Tiehu licked his lips as he spoke, his eyes full of banter.
The third uncle grabbed Lu Hongying and threw her out directly, and in an instant, the iron tiger's double knives slashed into his shoulders.
"Let's ...... away"
In addition to the sound of the wind in Lu Hongying's ears, only the two words that the third uncle shouted out with all his strength at the end.
Tears were in the rain, leaving no traces.
