Chapter 238: Lore (continued)
The battle in the courtyard was over, the fight on the roof continued, and even Gongsun Lan didn't expect this Nie Jiangchuan to be so difficult. The thin Nie Jiangchuan threw away the heavy machete in his hand after fighting Gongsun Lan, and replaced it with his hidden blade, two fine iron stingers.
The small blade's vicious moves combined with his flexible body made Nie Jiangchuan as difficult to deal with as a nimble poisonous snake, and if he wasn't careful, he would be bitten back. Gongsun Lan was already arrogant and conceited, her martial arts were transformed from the sword dance, and she was already erratic and good at light body kung fu, and Nie Jiangchuan also responded with light body kung fu, which aroused Gongsun Lan's competitive heart. In fact, there are many ways to defeat Nie Jiangchuan immediately, but Gongsun Lan just doesn't need to, so she just competes with Nie Jiangchuan.
The two of them jumped and tossed on the roof, but they both showed their true skills, and the thin tiles on the roof did not break half of it. The short sword in Gongsun Lan's hand flew like a silver snake in front of Nie Jiangchuan's side, Nie Jiangchuan always avoided the fatal blow in an incredible way whenever he was in danger, and at the same time, the water thorns collided with each other, so as to confuse the opponent's mind.
People like Wang Yuan stood in the courtyard and looked up at the fight, and they all felt dazzling, and secretly marveled that there were people outside the sky. Wang Yuan was even more surprised by the martial arts of the Ten Tigers of the Xiangfu, he did not witness Tian Bin's death at the hands of Gongsun Lan that night, he thought that the Ten Tigers of the Xiangfu were no more than Erer, but now it seems that Gongsun Lan must have spent a lot of effort that night. And the Nie Jiangchuan in front of him is ranked three of the ten tigers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his martial arts are definitely much higher than Tian Bin, and the battle situation in front of him seems to be Gongsun Lan's advantage, but it can be seen that Nie Jiangchuan's martial arts are also so high that he can't imagine it.
The two people around Li Linfu are still so powerful, no wonder Gongsun Lan once said that she didn't dare to enter and exit Xiangguo Mansion easily, because it was very likely that she would fold inside. Looking back at Li Xin'er's escape, it can be regarded as extremely lucky. Because any one of the Ten Tigers of the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be likely to take down Li Xin'er. It's just that I don't know what shit luck Li Xin'er took that night.
Liu Dehai stood beside Wang Yuan, reached out and took a bow from the soldier next to him, and bent the bow and aimed at the roof. Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't do it, so as not to be injured by mistake." In addition, my eldest brother Gongsun doesn't like others to interfere, and I believe that he will definitely be able to take this fang. ”
Liu Dehai was really unsure, so he had to put down his bow and arrows. The fight on the roof entered a white heat, Gongsun Lan was obviously really angry, the short sword had already danced into a snow-white barrier, and his body was almost invisible. Wang Yuan had seen this scene, when he saw Gongsun Lan's sword dance in the snow in the plum forest, when the snowflakes flew to form a barrier, covering Gongsun Lan in it, then the next move should be that flying sword style.
Sure enough, Gongsun Lan screamed in the sword curtain, and her body jumped into the air, which was incomparably graceful. The short sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning shooting at an extremely fast speed towards Nie Jiangchuan, who was dodging the sword curtain. Nie Jiangchuan knew that it was powerful, and used the strength of his life to raise the two water-splitting spurs to cross to resist the attacking short sword, and after listening to the sound of the waves, Nie Jiangchuan's hand burst with blood, and he screamed and dropped the damaged water-splitting spur and hugged his arms and stepped back a few feet. Blood was dripping from between the fingers.
Gongsun Lan fell on the roof and shouted coldly: "Do you still want to fight?" You've lost your blade, and you've broken three fingers on your left hand, so surrender. ”
Nie Jiangchuan shouted coldly: "Who are you?" How come I haven't seen you among the Tang Dynasty warriors? ”
Gongsun Lan said coldly: "That's because you are lonely and unheard, and I don't need you to know who I am." ”
Nie Jiangchuan's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "That Lao Tzu is not accompanied either, your martial arts are higher than mine, but you don't want to hold me, I want to leave or leave immediately." ”
As soon as he said that, Nie Jiangchuan reached out and took out something from his arms, and threw it hard at the roof in front of Gongsun Lan. A pungent smell quickly spreads.
Gongsun Lan covered her mouth with her sleeves to concentrate on her defense, but she heard the soft sound of tiles, and a faint figure in the smoke was leaping and fleeing. Gongsun Lan leaned over and picked up a piece of tile and threw it hard, when the tile flew out, it was a whole piece, shattering into more than a dozen pieces of rubble in the air, and the direction was facing the direction where Nie Jiangchuan had fled.
Nie Jiangchuan's curse came from the smoke, and then he flew up from the smoke like a big bird, crossed the heads of Wang Yuan and the others, and landed at the top of the courtyard wall a few zhang away. Nie Jiangchuan also had no choice, so he was forced to change the direction of escape and take the risk of leaping over the heads of the officers and soldiers who were full of courtyards.
Wang Yuan shouted violently: "Release the arrow." ”
Forty or fifty soldiers had bows and arrows in their hands, and they had attacked from the top of the wall during the scuffle. Hearing Wang Yuan's order, forty or fifty people whizzed bows and arrows in their hands and shot towards Nie Jiangchuan in the air. Nie Jiangchuan toed a little on the top of the locust tree in the courtyard, turned the direction to avoid dozens of flying locusts, but he could no longer pounce on the opposite wall. simply pounced on his head and feet to the position where Wang Yuan was standing, and shouted: "Lao Tzu slaughtered you little bastard." ”
Liu Dehai swished and shot two arrows in a row, but they all shot into the air, and Nie Jiangchuan's five-fingered face with a cold smile had already reached the sky above Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan shouted: "Thorn! ”
More than a dozen spears around him were stabbing upwards, and Nie Jiangchuan had nowhere to borrow his strength, watching as several spear tips pierced into his body, and he was held alive in the air, his arms hanging low, less than two inches from the top of Wang Yuan's head.
Wang Yuan looked at the hateful eyes above his head, and coldly ordered: "Stab again." ”
Another seven or eight spear heads pierced Nie Jiangchuan's abdomen, Nie Jiangchuan let out a long scream, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he died in an instant.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this Nie Jiangchuan gave people a strong sense of oppression, and finally killed him, and a big stone fell in everyone's hearts.
"Get out of here, it's a yellow phosphorus poison bomb, and it will be poisoned if you inhale it." Gongsun Lan's voice came from the air, and everyone felt that the nostrils of the Dao eyes were tingling, and someone coughed loudly.
Wang Yuan hurriedly ordered Zhang Wulang to enter the house to help Wang Dahei out, and together with Liu Dehai, he led everyone out of the pavilion.
On the long street, the night wind blew, and the hot sweat on everyone's bodies was blown dry, which was very comfortable. The sky is full of stars and the night is quiet. Thinking back to what had just happened, everyone felt like a dream.
Wang Yuan pulled Liu Dehai to the corner and spoke softly.
"What about the casualties?" Wang Yuan asked.
"More than 80 were wounded, and 39 brothers died." Liu Dehai said heartbrokenly.
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Liu joined the army to help, I remember this love." Qian Santong, the proprietor of the Beihai Restaurant, promised to donate 3,000 yuan in military expenses, and Liu Senjun would go to his house tomorrow to fetch the dead and treat the wounded. I'll take care of the rest when I get to the capital. Write a memo about tonight's crackdown on bandits, and talk about the bandits, and don't mention anything else. ”
Liu Dehai nodded and said: "I understand the lowly position, I only say that the bandits entered the city to make trouble, I led the troops to quell the chaos, and I didn't write anything about the rest." ”
Wang Yuan said: "By the way, write that Beihai Don't drive Liu Ji was killed by bandits, don't mention Jiwen's name." I will prove this for you in the capital. ”
"I understand. Deputy Envoy Wang, what should Yang Shenjin do? Do you want to simply ......?"
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Liu joins the army, you think too much." It is impossible for Yang Shenjin to still be in the city, if my estimate is correct, I am afraid that he has already left Beihai. He's going to kill me tonight, and with his old scheming, it's impossible for him to stay in Beihai City, and he can only shirk it if he's not there. ”
"My soldiers and horses are guarding the city gate, how can he get out of the city?" Liu Dehai was surprised.
Wang Yuan said: "If you don't believe it, go and check, I guess so." But if we take 10,000 steps back, even if he is in the city and he does not show up to participate in this matter, we cannot touch him, and if we move him, we will cross the line. ”
Liu Dehai understood what Wang Yuan meant, although killing Ji Wen and others was in the name of bandits, killing Yang Shenjin had no reason, that was to cross the line and seek his own death. So on the one hand, he sent someone to go to the county government to check if Yang Shenjin was not in the city, and on the other hand, he waited for the poisonous smoke to dissipate and clean up the body. Soon after, the soldiers sent back to report that the county government had already been empty. Soon after, after finding out the third watch of the South City Gate, Sima Liu Chenggong of Beihai called the door out of the city, saying that there was an urgent matter to go out of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city had no reason to refuse, so they let more than ten horses and a big cart out of the city.
"Sure enough, what Deputy Envoy Wang said is true."
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go, I don't want to see him, I don't know what to say when I see him." As soon as the morning dawns, we are also leaving Beihai, Liu joins the army, my biggest gain from coming to Beihai is to make a friend of yours. I know you're still a little scared, you don't have to worry, you can maintain the security here with peace of mind, I guarantee that you're okay, and what I promised you will definitely be done. ”
Liu Dehai nodded and said: "Why did Deputy Envoy Wang say this, Liu has been messing around for a few years, and it wasn't until Deputy Envoy Wang came to Beihai that he felt like a soldier." Things like tonight, although they are terrifying, but they are hearty. That's why I wanted to leave Beihai and go to the border town. It's really boring for soldiers not to fight. Deputy Envoy Wang's young Yingjie, compared to many people, has blood, and hopes to have the opportunity to work with Deputy Envoy Wang in the future, and he admires Deputy Envoy Wang very much. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I am also looking forward to that day, until then, we will cherish each other." ”
