Chapter 335: Escape

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson!

Since ancient times, "murder" and "arson" have been the forte of robbers. Liu Zongmin has a lot of combat experience, and he has already judged that the person upstairs is an unprecedented fierce enemy, and it is difficult to break it by relying only on hard attacks.

Moreover, he has been tossing and turning for a long time in the outer heavens, if he delays for a while, in case a large number of officers and soldiers arrive, he will not be able to leave if he wants to. There are beautiful women in the world, if they throw their lives here because of a Chen Yuanyuan, it is obviously more than worth the loss.

So in an instant, Liu Zongmin decisively made the most correct choice: give up the plan to snatch Chen Yuanyuan and withdraw from Xi'an City immediately!

Of course, so many of his subordinates were killed and injured here, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so he ordered someone to set fire to the building. On the one hand, it is to vent anger, and on the other hand, it is easier to get out of the thieves by using fire to create chaos.

With his order, all the thieves took out the things that ignited the fire, lit the open flame, and threw them into the restaurant. The flames burst into the air and soon engulfed the largest restaurant in Xi'an!

Liu Zongmin saw that the fire was spreading rapidly upstairs, and the people above were unable to fly, so he scolded viciously: "Stinky girl, Lao Tzu can't get it, and others can't think of it!" Walk! ”

The thieves also robbed a lot of gold and silver at this time, and felt that they had gained a lot, so they shouted, and hurriedly escaped into the darkness with Liu Zongmin.

The entire structure of this restaurant is made of wood, and the first, second and third floors are all on fire in an instant. Although the fire on the fourth floor has not yet started, under the scorching flames, the choking smoke has filled all the space, and people can't open their eyes.

Ding Qirui and the others upstairs were already frightened, and they wanted to rush down the stairs at this time. Yang Sichang hurriedly stopped him, coughed loudly and said, "My lord, there is already a sea of fire below, and you can't rush out like this!" For now, the only way to do this is to jump from the window, and maybe there is still a chance of life! ”

Ding Qirui was already frightened at the moment, and said while crying: "This building is seven or eight feet high, how can you live if you jump?" I didn't expect this official to die here, woo woo..."

Suddenly, a person in the smoke shouted angrily: "Don't mess around! Hand in hand with us, someone will get you out!" ”

The person who spoke was Zhu Youzhen. He held his wife Bao Yulian in one hand and Chen Yuanyuan in the other, and under the guidance of Qi Meifeng, he struggled to the window facing the street where the smoke was smaller.

And Li Zhenyan and Shi Biao and others escorted Zhu Cunqi, the four sisters, Yang Sichang, Ding Qirui and other businessmen to follow closely, and finally led everyone back to the largest private room.

At this time, the surviving guests upstairs also gathered over, and they all regarded Zhu Youzhen and others as life-saving straws. But there was no way out of the private room, and the door was firmly closed by the guards to prevent the flames from entering the room. Then the only escape route can only be a few large windows facing the street.

But when everyone looked down from the window, they all felt dizzy. Although there were only four floors in the outer sky that day, each floor was more than two zhang high, and the fourth layer was six or seven zhang high from the ground, and it was more than 20 meters when folded into a metric system, which was equivalent to a six-story building in the previous life. Jumping directly from this height, even if you don't die, you have to break all the bones of your body, so no one dares to jump out of the window rashly, and she cries in a hurry.

Zhu Youzhen shouted impatiently: "Get out of the way!" ”

At this time, whether it was the prefect Ding Qirui or ordinary businessmen, they all worshiped this extremely ugly young man who was often the head of everyone, and hurriedly flashed out a vacant lot, and asked Qi Meifeng to lead the guards to the window.

Qi Meifeng looked out the window intently, and shouted: "The fire downstairs is too big, grab the eaves and big trees on the opposite side with a flying grab, and hang people out!" ”

With her order, more than 20 guards stepped forward together, kicked the window sash off with three feet and two feet, and then took out a pair of steel flying grabs from the treasure bag she carried, looked at the direction, and threw it out with all their strength.

These guards are Zhu Youzhen's personal guards and shoulder heavy responsibilities, so Zhu Youzhen equips them with the most complete equipment. In addition to a short blade, a strong bow, and close-fitting cotton armor, they also have a variety of special equipment, and the Flying Grab is one of them.

This tool has existed since ancient times, and in modern times it is one of the standard equipment of special forces. Based on the principle of being prepared, Zhu Youzhen had just matched the guards, but he didn't expect it to play a role today.

The two ends of the flying grip were sharp claw-like hooks, which were tightly hooked when they touched the eaves and tree trunks. The guards fixed the other end of their hands on the windowsill, and in an instant, they set up more than a dozen ropes in the air.

Then they took out the rope, tied the trapped man firmly behind their backs, jumped on the windowsill, and held the rope with their hands and feet at the same time, and climbed towards the opposite side as fast as raccoons, and soon reached the opposite side and landed smoothly. After that, they climbed back along the rope.

This process may seem simple, but it requires great physical strength and skill, and the slightest mistake can lead to a fall in the middle. Fortunately, these guards have practiced martial arts in the Qi family army since they were children, and they have specially conducted special training on the city wall of Qinwangzhuang. If you change people, you have these tools, and you still can't escape.

The first batch of people rescued were all female dependents, Bao Yulian, Zhu Cunqi, the four sisters and Chen Yuanyuan and others all escaped safely. Originally, according to Qi Meifeng's intentions, Zhu Youzhen should also go with the first batch; But Zhu Youzhen resolutely refused, and he must rescue all the people who could be saved, and then evacuate the last group.

When Yang Sichang saw it, he couldn't help but raise his big fingers again and praised loudly: "Charge ahead when facing the enemy, and command if you are determined; When retreating, you are willing to be the last, putting others before yourself, your Excellency is really a great husband! Students are not talented, and we are willing to advance and retreat together with Your Excellency! ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Yang Sichang, he only waved his hand, and sent him and Ding Qirui, Li Henian, Qiao Beiyue and others down without saying anything.

Immediately after that, the third and fourth batches were followed. Most of the guests in the private room were also safely evacuated.

However, the fourth group of people had just landed on the opposite side, and before the guards had time to climb back, the wooden structure of the Tianwaitian Restaurant was finally scorched by the fire, and it could no longer hold on, and it collapsed completely with a "boom"!

"Lord Wang!"

"You Gongzi!"

Bao Yulian, Zhu Cunqi and Chen Yuanyuan let out a terrible scream at the same time, and rushed towards the fire desperately! Yang Sichang and others knew that the fire was dangerous, and they tried hard to stop it, but how could they stop it!

At this moment, two Hokages rose from the ruins and swept towards everyone like agile swallows.

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that it was Qi Meifeng and Li Zhenyan who drove Zhu Youzhen left and right to escape from the fire!
