The coachman stopped the cart and coughed. The medical apprentice in the carriage took a dagger from his waist and stabbed the patient on the stretcher. A big hand suddenly stretched out under the blanket of the stretcher,

As fast as lightning, it clamped the apprentice's wrist in one fell swoop. On the 14th day of the first month of the third year of Tianbao, Youzheng.

Chang'an, Chang'an County, Yiningfang.

The space in the confession room is cramped and dark, and one person will feel out of breath after staying for a long time, not to mention that there are two people crammed into it now.

Tan Qi and Zhang Xiaojing were trapped in the dark, almost facing each other, there was almost no room to move, and even the other party's breath could be felt. Zhang Xiaojing maintained this embarrassing posture and shouted a few more times, there was no movement outside at all, and that Deacon Isi actually left like this?

Not to mention Tan Qi, even Zhang Xiaojing didn't expect that this elegant Jing Seng would turn his face when he said it. He has also read countless people, but he didn't see through this monk named Is. That appearance and temperament are really too deceptive.

Zhang Xiaojing slammed his fist a few times, but the small door did not move. This wooden house seems to be weak, but the material is cypress, the wood is compact, and it cannot be shaken by human beings.

"Tanqi girl, offended."

Zhang Xiaojing raised his upper body and pressed it towards Tan Qi's face, he wanted to make room for his waist so that he could draw the obstacle knife. Tan Qi knew his intentions, but his heart was still beating wildly. She had never been so close to a man, and she felt the heavy breathing penetrate her nostrils, and she was too frightened to move.

Zhang Xiaojing slowly pulled out the knife, carefully aimed the tip of the knife at the door, and slid it down. The thin blade can knock the outer chain. But the room was too narrow to be able to use any strength, let alone split. The only way to do this is to sharpen the pivot of the small door with the cutter head, but this will take too long.

Tan Qi felt that the whole thing was ridiculous. The whereabouts of Que Lehodo are unknown, and Chang'an is in danger, but they are locked up in this unknown ghost place by an unknown Jing monk deacon for unknown reasons.

She looked at Zhang Xiaojing, this guy should be able to figure out a way to get out soon! Just like when he was on the right guard, he always had an idea. Zhang Xiaojing's one-eyed eyes struggled to widen in the faint light, and his lips were pursed, like a beast trapped in a cage. This time, it seems that even he is at a loss.

Tan Qi suddenly woke up, when did he start to use him as a backer? Deng's disciple said that he borrowed her this time to borrow his own wisdom. If you don't do anything and just wait for him to come up with an idea, wouldn't it be a shame for your son! Tan Qi thought of this, and also tried to turn his neck to see if he could have a chance.

The two of them moved at the same time, and they didn't pay attention, and their faces touched each other. The rough face made Tan Qi's cheeks ache for a while. Tan Qi's face turned red from his face to his neck, and he couldn't hide.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and the two of them froze at the same time.

Is's voice sounded triumphantly outside: "The two of you must be scolding in your hearts, saying that I am a honey-bellied sword...... Oh, forgive the sin, forgive the sin, I forgot that the word honey belly sword is forbidden, let's use clever words to make sex, after all, I can afford the word Lingse, hehe. ”

This guy didn't know when he came back, or he never left. Tan Qi has seen a lot of men, and he is still the first one to talk about his appearance.

"What are you pretending to be husband and wife and breaking into our temple?" Isis asked, his tone more excited than angry.

Tan Qi was about to open her mouth to ridicule her, but Zhang Xiaojing stopped her, took the waist card off her body, knocked it on the door panel, and said in an eager tone: "I am Zhang Xiaojing, the commander of the Jing'an Division, and I am investigating a major case related to the safety of Chang'an City. You must release us immediately. This is the waist card of Jing'an Division, you can check with the government. ”

"Yasuyasu? If you haven't heard of it, it won't be a mouthful, right? Isis glanced at the waist card through the small window, "Rong Zai will visit the ancestral hall tomorrow, and he will be able to understand it at that time." ”

"Then it's too late! Now let us go! Zhang Xiaojing's body slammed into the top, and the entire wooden house shook.

Isis stretched out his slender and slender fingers and swayed a few times: "I am a deacon of Jingjiao in Xia Xi, and I am the heavy weight of protecting the temple, since there are traitors who have entered the temple at the risk of good, if you don't check it clearly, won't you become a corpse vegetarian?" ”

He spoke in a crepe manner, but at this time, it was particularly annoying to listen to Tan Qi and Zhang Xiaojing's ears.

Zhang Xiaojing said in a deep voice: "Listen, there is an extremely dangerous figure hidden in this Persian temple now, and he is implicated in hundreds of thousands of lives. If you delay the major affairs of the imperial court, you will bear all the consequences! ”

Hundreds of thousands of lives? Extremely dangerous? These two words made Yisi's eyes light up: "First of all, we call it Daqin Temple, not Persian Temple. Secondly, if there is such a dangerous person, it should also be dealt with by the deacon of the monastery - the great master you are looking for is him? ”

"Yes, he is the right killer of the Turks, and he came to Chang'an within three months. Jing'an Si thought that he was pretending to be a Jing monk and hid in this Persian temple. Zhang Xiaojing's speed of speech is very fast, he can't be controlled by this Persian who loves to drag the text.

"It's all said to be Daqin Temple...... Well. Isis seemed to be moved by these words, his eyes rolled, and a smile of excitement appeared on his handsome face, "Wait for you to repent here first, and let me go down and check to see if what I said is false or true." ”

Zhang Xiaojing was really anxious this time, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The power behind this Turkic is very strong, don't be rashly tempted." Please open the door immediately and leave it to a skilled thief hunter to deal with. ”

"Oh? Are you talking about those two acquaintances who I locked up in the confessional room? Isis smiled and pointed at his eyes with two index fingers, "My eyes have been washed by autumn water, and what you can see, I can naturally see through better." Then he ignored Zhang Xiaojing's shouting behind him and turned to leave.

Isis strode down the corridor, his expression still so calm, but the corner of the white robe floated high, revealing the enthusiasm of his master's heart.

Jingsheng Temple advocates asceticism and humility, and there are not even a few quarrels throughout the year. Isis is conceited and familiar with the classics of Middle-earth, and he has no chance to show it, which is a pity. This time he finally caught an opportunity, and he would never let it go easily.

If that man's words are true, this will be a great opportunity. Isis happened to go to the main hall and saw the cross high above, and prayed with his hands together, "My Lord is above." It is expected that this contribution will be favored by the imperial court, and I can correct my Jingjiao's real name. ”

After praying, he went straight to a house next to the main hall. There is a vegetable field there, in which some melons, fruits and greens are planted. Jing monks are not divided into grades, and they all advocate hands-on farming, so the house is also repaired next to the vegetable furrow. All of them are flat-roofed two-story small stone buildings.

As a deacon, Isis is well aware of the changes in personnel at the temple. A month ago, there was indeed a monk named Pusha, Sogdian Zahu, who held a degree from Kang Guojing Monastery and was an elder. After Elder Pusha came to Yining Fangjing Temple, he acted quite low-key, and he didn't interact with people much on weekdays, but he went out more often. The temple only regarded the elders as enthusiastic about preaching the Dharma, and did not care about him.

Listening to Zhang Xiaojing's description, this Elder Pusha is the only person who is eligible.

He was over 60 years old, and the temple specially allocated him a single-family house with a corner on the second floor. Isis called a Jing monk who was in charge of the house and walked up the stairs together. He went to the door and knocked on the door, calling "Elder Pusha," but no one answered. As soon as Is's hand pushed, the door was hidden, and it opened with a "squeak".

The furnishings in this small hall are no different from those of other clergy. A gilded cross is placed under the window, a vaulted scarf box rests on each side, and a thick camel felt blanket is laid on the floor.

At a glance, Iss noticed that in the middle of the felt carpet was a Capricorn jug, and the spout of the jug was dripping with crimson wine, soaking a large part of the blanket. He immediately became vigilant, lifted the corners of his robe, tucked it into his belt, and then slowed down and walked towards the bedchamber.

As soon as Isis stepped inside, the first thing that caught his eye was Elder Pusha's round eyes, and his expression was shocked and inexplicable. His head rested on the threshold, he fell to the ground on his back, a sharp blade stuck in his chest, and his flesh was blurred. The elder's arm was still trembling slightly, and he didn't know if he was still alive or if he was still resentful after death.

Isis was taken aback, this ...... Isn't this an extremely dangerous thief? Why was someone killed?

The Jing monk behind him followed, and when he saw this bloody scene, he said "Mom" and sat down on the ground. Is's eyes rolled, and instead of leaning over to inspect it, or rushing into the house, he quickly glanced around the room.

After a few flicks of his fingers, he suddenly picked up a copper candlestick in his hand and slammed it into the corner of the room.

In the corner of the house, there are two small bamboo screens, which are used to cover the drowning buckets on weekdays. It itself was very light and thin, and when it was smashed by the heavy copper candlestick, it fell to the ground with a "bang", and a masked man jumped out from behind.

"This little trick still wants to escape the eyes of my Is?" Isis shouted half excitedly, half boldly.

The windows here are due north, and on the second floor, they are facing the glorious lights of the Imperial Road. Iss had noticed just now that the light shone into the corner of the house, and there should be a gap of light between the shadows of the two bamboo screens, but for a moment, the two shadows were connected together - this means that there are people hiding behind the screens.

Presumably after the murderer killed, before he could leave, he heard a knock on the door, and he could only hide behind the screen for the time being, but he didn't expect to be drunk directly by Is.

Since it was exposed, the masked man didn't talk nonsense, and pounced on Isis with a knife. Isis stepped back in a slight panic, but it was too late. A thought flashed through his mind: he should have pretended to be okay just now and stepped back to report to the official.

But it was too late to regret it, and the masked man's blade approached quickly. Regardless of decency, Is's whole person fell to the ground at once, barely dodging the knife. Before the man could put away the knife and stab again, he picked up a foot-warming stove by the bed with his hand, and threw it over his head and face.

This foot warmer is an iron pinch in the style, which is filled with charcoal fire and used to keep warm at night. Isis picked up the furnace and sent it out, there was probably something burning in the furnace, and the fine ashes were thrown out, and the room was filled with smoke. Iss took advantage of this opportunity to climb a few steps, get out of the range of the masked man's attack, and got up to hold the Jun Furnace in his hand.

He suddenly heard a miserable scream, which was actually from the monk who followed him. Needless to say, the masked man missed the blow and directly killed the Jing monk behind him.

Isis was furious. These guys broke into Jing Temple and killed two monks in a row, which is simply the biggest insult to the deacon. He threw the last bit of charcoal ash out of the furnace desperately, and then jumped onto the bed.

For monks at the elder level, there will inevitably be a walking stick hanging next to the couch. The wood is made of fig trees from Tomaki country, where Jingzun arose, and he never forgot the roots. The masked man was sharp-armed, but Iss was more familiar with the furnishings in the room.

Isis took his cane off the wall, his mind steady. He didn't need to win, as long as he insisted on a little more time, naturally there would be a monk who protected the temple. He relied on the length of his cane to pinn the masked man in a corner of the room.

The masked man quickly realized that the other party was dragging his feet, so he didn't dwell too much, turned around, and actually jumped out of the window.

Isis hurried to the windowsill to look at the ground, but there was no sign of him. When he looked up, he found that the masked man had actually climbed onto the roof by taking advantage of the convex surface of the veranda.

Do you really think that we Jing monks are all weak people?

Isis sneered, bit his cane with his mouth, climbed out of the upper edge of the windowsill with both hands, and quickly rolled to the roof with a swing of his body.

The roof of the temple is flat, making it ideal for running. The two of you chased after me, jumping over the roofs one by one, and the feet did not stop for a moment. Although the masked man is athletic, Iss is not willing to give up a penny, and even better in dexterity.

Growing up in the desert of the Western Regions, Is's favorite activity on weekdays is to float between the grottoes and sand grottoes.

The Assassin fled, scratching his itch.

Seeing that Isis was getting closer and closer, the masked man jumped over the gap between the two rooftops again, turned sharply, and stabbed him into the air with his knife. Behind him, Isis had already leapt up and slammed into the blade itself. He couldn't avoid it in mid-air, and in a hurry, he swung the white robe forward, and when the knife pierced the robe, he pulled it suddenly, pulling the tip of the knife a few points off, and stabbed it over the shoulder, cutting a bloody mark.

Taking advantage of this, Iss crashed headfirst into the masked man's arms and knocked him to the ground. The two rolled on the roof a few times and twisted into a ball. Issong gripped his cane and slammed his head while shouting hatefully: "I am also from the background of a Persian prince, how can I allow you to show off here!" ”

He was smashing when suddenly a crossbow bolt flew through the air and was nailed to the head of Is's staff. If it is off by half a point, I am afraid that this arrow will pierce Is's throat. Taking advantage of his momentary moments, the masked man pushed him away and jumped off two floors.

Iss didn't expect that this assassin turned out to have accomplices. He ran a few steps to the edge of the roof, and saw in the distance a man with a crossbow machine facing him. He hurriedly lowered his head, and another arrow flew by his scalp.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the masked man had already risen from the ground and limped to the crossbowman to rendezvous. The crossbowman threw away the crossbow machine, and the two crossed the octagonal stone building and went straight to the gate of Jingsi.

At this time, it is too late to chase after it. Isis had to shout loudly, hoping that the monks at the door would hear. Those Jing monks were busy handing out gifts to visitors, and there was a lot of noise around them, who would have thought that two assassins would run out from behind.

But they weren't the only ones at the door.

In accordance with Zhang Xiaojing's order, the soldiers of the brigade were already guarding the door, and when they saw these two people with a murderous awe, they all drew their sharp blades and pulled a fan around them.

The two killers reacted very quickly, and immediately took out a handful of copper coins from their arms, and threw them into the sky with a "swish", falling like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. The surrounding tourists shouted: "Scatter the money!" ”

Spending money is a custom in Chang'an, throwing copper coins when enjoying the lanterns, let people pick them up, the more scattered, the greater the blessing. But this bad habit has repeatedly occurred and has been banned by the government. Visitors heard that someone actually openly scattered money, all surprised, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, suddenly countless people rushed to this side, men, women and children coaxed into one, the scene was chaotic.

By the time the money was almost gone, the two killers had long since disappeared, leaving a dozen brigade soldiers standing in place, looking around. By this time, Iss had already climbed off the roof and rushed to the door. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a lieutenant named Zhang Xiaojing?" Blinded? ”

The soldier looked at him blankly and did not speak.

"Well, it's all wrinkles on my face and I'm blind in one eye."

"Oh, that's right, it's Captain Zhang." It dawned on the soldier that the soldier had come to his senses.

Isis touched his head, and his handsome face showed a look of embarrassment. Rao is eloquent, and he doesn't know how to explain to this officer that this Captain Zhang has just been locked up by himself.

Guangdefang, Jing'an Division.

The first to be attacked was a clerk who was delivering documents. He was walking towards the big watchtower with a letter in his hand, when he suddenly saw more than a dozen black shadows rushing towards him. No sooner had he widened his eyes than he was stabbed in the throat with a short-ridged knife.

Then it was two guards who were attacked. They were in charge of guarding the connection between the back garden and the front hall, and they were chatting with each other, when suddenly their bodies stiffened at the same time, and they fell to the ground with a crossbow bolt stuck in their necks.

The black shadow led by him walked here and stopped for a moment. He is the person who climbed the Great Watchtower just now, and he is also the leader of this group. He leaned over to pull the bolts out of the two guards, reloaded them with the crossbow machine, and made a gesture of safety.

The five black shadows immediately stepped forward, seizing several points on the high ground and on the flanks, and aimed the crossbow at the road leading to the back garden. Then a few others folded back into the gap in the canal and dragged over a few heavy burlap bags. They opened their pockets and each of them took out a simple pump and a few small clay pots.

This kind of pump is a bamboo cylinder, with holes in the front and a water pole in the back, and one end of the water pole is wrapped in compacted cotton wool and stuffed into the cylinder. In this way, you can suck water into the orifice with just one pull, and then spray it out with one push. This thing was originally used to extinguish fires, but it was very easy to break, and the amount of water sent was better than nothing, so it was not very popular.

If you only use it once, it's quite handy.

They methodically poured water from the clay pot with a pump. The leader stood in place, looking at the eaves of the Jing'an Division Hall in the distance, his body full of pre-killing excitement. He suddenly raised his hand, took off the mask, threw a roll of mint leaves into his mouth, and chewed it expressionlessly.

Long Bo's hooked nose was terrifying under the night sky.

During this period, two or three more Jing'an officials who went to the toilet came over one after another, and all of them were killed instantly, and all the bodies were thrown into the ditch next to them.

Wait until everyone has loaded the pump and put it on their shoulders. Long Bo gave instructions in Sogdian: "Divide into three teams. A team of the main hall, a team of the left and right side halls, and another team responsible for the left side hall, taking into account the apse. After the assault began, crossbows were used on guards, knives were used on scribes, and pumps were used on items to control the situation as soon as possible. ”

"All these actions must be done in a moment," he stressed. ”

Everyone nodded at the same time. Long Bo spit the chewed mint on the ground and put the hood back on: "Let's go, send lamps to the commanders of the Jing'an Division." ”

The small door of the confessional room was slammed open, and the long-lost light re-entered the eye. Tan Qi and Zhang Xiaojing squinted their eyes at the same time, a little uncomfortable.

Isis did not hide it, and took the initiative to apologize, and said a lot of words, which was "forever thinking about blame" and "painful self-blame", and almost recited all the sins of the previous dynasty.

Tan Qi unceremoniously interrupted him and asked what had just happened. Isi knew that he was at a loss, and repeated what happened just now, Zhang Xiaojing heard it with frost, and he didn't care about it, so he said that he would take me to see it immediately.

The seriously injured Elder Pusha had been carried to a meditation room where he was resuscitated by the temple's physicians. He was stabbed in the chest, the wound was deep, and the man was already unconscious.

Zhang Xiaojing approached and took a closer look, this is a long and narrow horse face full of cracks, with a wide nose and cracked eyes, it is definitely not a Middle Earth face, but it is difficult to determine if it is a Turkic face.

It's a hassle. Whether or not Elder Pusha was killed right or not cannot be confirmed at this time. And the Jing'an Division must be 100% confirmed before it can carry out the next step.

His dormitory had been searched, and there was nothing else related to his identity except for the one that had anything to do with his identity. And the value of that copy was not very much, and the Turks could have forged one at all—they could even capture a real Pursa elder, kill someone, and leave the paperwork behind.

Zhang Xiaojing pondered for a moment, then leaned over to pull Elder Pusha's robe. Isis hurriedly said: "Tang Tu Fa Body, it's not very appropriate, right?" Tan Qi said coldly: "If he is a Turkic right killer, what kind of law body and law body are you talking about?" She had just been locked up with resentment, and she gritted her teeth at this stupid deacon who thought she was clever.

Zhang Xiaojing drove the doctor away, tore open his robe, and an old body was exposed. At the lower right side of his lower abdomen, there is a shockingly long scar, like a snake on its flank, with flesh rolled on both sides. Zhang Xiaojing stretched out his hand and touched it, looked up and said that it was Modao's scar.

The Mo knife handle is four feet long, and the blade is three feet long, which is the elite equipment dedicated to horse warfare. Looking at the length and location of the scar, this one should have been slashed halfway by the cross-cut Mo knife on the horse, but he didn't die, which is really fateful.

Zhang Xiaojing ripped his lower crotch open again, and there were thick abrasion marks on the inside of his thighs, which should be traces of perennial horseback riding. On both sides of the waist, two curved cocoons bulge. If a person is always walking around in armor, the lower edge of the swinging skirt will rub against the skin, grinding down such marks - and it will have to be a very high-grade armor.

Riding a horse all the year round, wearing it all the year round, and being injured by the Mo knife of *, this indisputable Elder Pusha, his true identity is revealed.

"I know why the Turkic wolf guard wants to kidnap Wang Zhonghe's daughter, it is really the selfish intention of the right to kill the nobleman." Zhang Xiaojing got up and clapped his hands.

The grassland has a tradition of revenge, and the wounds caused by the enemy can only be healed by the blood of the enemy's heirs. I am afraid that the right killer nobleman had a conflict with Wang Zhonghei back then, and was seriously injured, and his hidden illness did not go away. This time he came to Chang'an, in addition to presiding over Que Lehodo, he also wanted to kidnap Wang Zhonghei's daughter by the way to treat himself.

Having said that, if it weren't for his selfishness, I'm afraid Jing Ansi would really not be able to track down Wolf Guard.

Tan Qi said suspiciously: "But, who will kill the right kill?" ”

Zhang Xiaojing said: "Of course, those guys who use the Turkic wolf guard. Since the stone grease is started, the right kill has no use value. In order to prevent us from going down the slopes, we must cut off all ties - this person who is planning to betray his clan and want to change the glory and wealth of the second half of his life, hey, it is the evil star who can't think of coming to the door. ”

When he said this, his worry turned serious. This mysterious organization has a ruthless and resolute style, and in addition to killing from the right, I am afraid that other potential clues are also being cut off one by one, and it will be more and more difficult for them to investigate. And they suddenly began to sweep away the traces, indicating that something big was coming—and Yasuyasu was still at a loss for it.

Right Kill was unconscious, couldn't ask anything, and there weren't any valuable clues in his room. Zhang Xiaojing's brain was spinning desperately, but he couldn't think of any way to break the game as soon as possible. A wave of unexplained exhaustion welled up in his heart, making him suddenly feel a little hopeless.

It stands to reason that he is not someone who will admit defeat so easily. Maybe it's too tired, maybe it's because of the accumulation of stress over a long period of time. Zhang Xiaojing leaned against the wall of the meditation room, closed his one eye, and didn't even bother to dust off the ashes.

At this moment, the right killer on the couch suddenly coughed loudly, as if he was about to wake up, his saliva was stained with blood, and the whole person spasmed violently. The doctor rushed over and pressed his limbs, sweating profusely: "You have to send it to the hospital, otherwise it's too late!" ”

When- When-

The big bell on the top of the main hall of the Persian temple suddenly rang. The Jing monks stopped one after another, not knowing what was happening. One after the other, two men came out of the residential area carrying a makeshift wooden stretcher, covered with a camel hair blanket, and headed out of the temple.

The monks all around pointed their fingers, and heard that a great master had been assassinated and was about to be sent to the hospital. So they prayed earnestly for this brother.

Fortunately, today is the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Market, and all the medical centers are waiting for it all night. Outside the gate, an oil-covered ox cart had just arrived. This kind of cart is slow and steady, with a rolling roof and curtains on both sides, which is suitable for transporting seriously injured patients.

The two men carefully carried the elder from the back of the car into the carriage. There was already a medical academy apprentice waiting in the car, helping to level the patient and feeding him a pill of Ginseng Life Renewal Pill. Because the carriage was cramped, the two men could not stay in the car, so the apprentice told them to wait in the infirmary first, and then hung a blue and white funeral bell outside the car, and drank it to make the coachman angry.

As soon as the ox cart moved, it swayed from the mourning bell. The bell was filled with lead, and the sound was very different from that of ordinary bells. When the surrounding tourists heard this, they knew that someone was going to send emergency medical treatment, so they avoided a road one after another, so as not to be contaminated with bad luck.

The ox cart slowly drove through the bustling streets and crowds of people with bells ringing towards the medical center. It walked out for about half a mile, and was out of sight of the Persian temple, and suddenly drove away from the crowded avenue and turned into a small alley. There were no lights in the place, so it was pitch black.

The coachman stopped the cart and coughed. The medical apprentice in the carriage took a dagger from his waist and stabbed the patient on the stretcher. A large hand suddenly stretched out from under the blanket of the stretcher, as fast as lightning, and at once clamped the apprentice's wrist.

As soon as the blanket was lifted, a one-eyed hideous man straightened up from the stretcher and grinned: "The heart of the doctor's parents, why are you so ruthless?" ”

The apprentice of the medical hall knew the plan, his face changed, and he hurriedly stabbed him backhand. The dagger stabbed at the other party, but it made a proper sound. Zhang Xiaojing, who had already put on the chain mail, showed a small black hammer and struck at his leg bones. In the cramped carriage, the hammer was a terrible weapon, unavoidable and unstoppable, and shattered his knee with a single blow.

The apprentice let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell backwards, and his cheeks suddenly moved. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojing immediately hit his temple with another hammer, knocking him unconscious. Then Zhang Xiaojing pinched the apprentice's jaw with his right hand and poured out a jet-black poison pill from his mouth.

When the driver heard the movement in the carriage, he thought something was wrong and was about to turn around to check. At the end of the alley, two flying arrows flew up, nailing his hand and foot, and the whole person fell straight out of the car.

The sniper archer standing at the mouth of the alley put down the big bow, and the brigade soldiers beside him rushed over and surrounded the ox cart, but unfortunately after the coachman landed, he knew that he could not be spared, and he had swallowed the poison pill and died with a black face.

Tan Qi, who was beside the archer, breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had questioned Isis carefully, and had learned that Elder Pusha had not died when the Assassin had left. She judged that the Assassins would come back to confirm their lives. Zhang Xiaojing will plan and set up such a bureau.

Although there is only one person left alive, it is better than being helpless.

Zhang Xiaojing helped the unconscious medical hall apprentice out of the car and handed it to the soldier beside him. He untied the chain mail and touched his ribs, and although the knife just now did not penetrate the bone, it still pierced a black green lump. Zhang Xiaojing smiled bitterly and rubbed it, this should be the lightest injury today.

The brigade raised several large lanterns at the entrance of the alley, illuminating half of the vision. Zhang Xiaojing leaned on the side of the ox cart, holding the wound while looking towards the light. Under the candlelight, the figures are scattered, and the graceful figure standing at the mouth of the alley is the most eye-catching.

This time, thanks to Tan Qi's judgment, he was able to catch the live mouth, and he deserved to be the person who came out of Li Yu*.

This girl is kind of interesting. In the cloudy pupils of Zhang Xiaojing's one-eyed eyes, the shadow of Tanqi was reflected deeper for the first time.

Tan Qi didn't know what Zhang Xiaojing was thinking in the shadows, she was busy dealing with an annoying guy.

Isis hurried from the temple, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the game had been set up successfully. If it was really escaped by those two assassins, the Persian Temple, no, it was the Daqin Temple, if it lost face, it might also be accused of being a "Litong bandit". It is not easy for Nestorianism to spread in Middle-earth, but it can be overwhelmed by the twists and turns of regeneration.

Tan Qi glared at Iss: "Don't you boast that your eyes are bright?" Come and confess, are these two assassins you fought against? As soon as Isis was about to speak, Tan Qi shouted, "Just say yes or no." ”

Isis swallowed a large number of words, walked over to take a closer look, and quickly recognized that the coachman was the assassin who killed the right killer, and the "apprentice" was answering outside. He looked up: "Uh, it's ......"

"Are you sure?" Tan Qi doesn't trust this guy very much.

"In the next pair of eyes, see everything clearly, and watch the fire." Isis triumphantly stretched out two fingers and drew them in front of his blue eyes. These two sentences, one in "Mencius" and the other in "Shangshu", can be described as elegant and tame, and the use of classics is appropriate.

It's a pity that Tan Qi just let out an "oh" when he heard it, making all his efforts in vain.

Now the identity of the assassin has been confirmed, and he has survived. Tan Qi said to the soldiers beside him: "Return to Jing'an Division!" Let them prepare for interrogation. ”

The signal soldier lifted the special purple lantern and sent a message to the Yiningfang watchtower. The lantern was lifted several times, and then fell several times, and the signal soldier's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that something was wrong. In the distance, the purple lights of the Yiningfang watchtower flickered, as if it was transmitting a long sentence.

The purple light finally disappeared. Only then did the signal soldier turn around and say to Tan Qi in a surprised tone:

"The watchtower returned, the communication of the big watchtower was interrupted, and the Jing'an Division could not be contacted."

At this time, the main hall of Jing'an Division was the same as the outside, brightly lit and people came and went. However, the candle is a simple candle, and the person is a busy person, which is very different from the atmosphere of leisurely and leisurely outside, extravagant and greasy lantern viewing.

Li Mi stayed in front of his bookcase, picked up a volume of "Dengzhen Hidden Secrets" and read a few lines, but he was impetuous, and he couldn't read those subtle and profound words at all. He simply picked up the dust whisk in his hand and slowly stroked the smooth ponytail whisker with his fingertips.

Zhang Xiaojing and the others went to Yiningfang, but there was no return for a long time. There was no news coming in for a while. He sent a messenger to send a reminder, but there was no response for the time being. Even Xu Bin didn't know where he had gone.

Li Mi didn't like this feeling very much, it would make him feel that the whole situation was out of his control.

The matter of the Turkic wolf guard, the matter of Que Lehodo, the matter of the traitor of the Jing'an Division, the matter of Zhang Xiaojing's deception, and the matter of Li Xiang and the crown prince, none of them have been settled and sealed. Countless relationships are intertwined, forming an extremely complex net, which is strangled on Li Mi's chest.

The copper leak in the corner of the hall knocked for another moment, but there was still no news from Yining Fang. Li Mi decided to send a messenger to urge him again, but this time the tone was a little harsher. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the copper leak again and found that Cui Qi was no longer standing there.

What's going on? Li Mi suddenly felt that something was not right.

There was a rush of footsteps from outside the hall, first a shout, then an exclamation, and then an exclamation. Li Mi's fingers tightened suddenly, and his eyes burst into sharp light, looking at the entrance of the main hall.

Dozens of black-clothed masked men fiercely jumped over the temple gate, and more than a dozen crossbow machines were fired at the same time, accurately shooting down more than a dozen uniformed guards and bad people in the hall. Then half of them reloaded their arrows, while the other half drew their knives and slashed at the nearest scribe. Those weak scribes were caught off guard, how could they have the strength to resist, and blood splashed all over the place.

These murderers were like a strong storm blowing into the temple.

This change was so fast that the rest of the hall didn't react, just stared blankly as it all happened. Only one of the bad guys who had escaped the first wave of raids pulled out his iron ruler and rushed back. With a "poof", a crossbow arrow shot into his eye socket, and the soft eyeball burst open in an instant, and the small handyman next to him splattered with blood and white liquid. The little handyman desperately wiped his clothes with his hands, screamed wildly, and then the screaming stopped abruptly, and a black crossbow bolt was embedded in his throat.

Long Bo stepped into the threshold of the hall, chewing on mint leaves, and threw the two empty crossbows aside with ease.

At this time, the people of Jing'an Division woke up like a dream. Screams erupted, people bent over to hide, or ran out of the hall, tables colliding with each other, and the situation was chaotic. But all the temple gates have been controlled, and whoever runs out will either be cut back by a knife or killed by a crossbow.

"Those who silence and humble, don't kill!" Long Bo's sharp voice resounded in the main hall. There is a strong sense of irony in this sentence, because this is exactly the sentence commonly used by the brigade when performing tasks, but now it is used on Jing'ansi himself.

Most of the people here were clerical and had no resistance to brutal force. Being shouted by Long Bo like this, the frightened people squatted down one by one, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and only one person in the entire hall still maintained a standing posture.

After the situation was suppressed, Long Bo walked from the entrance of the temple to the hall step by step, looking around with interest as he went. This is the legendary Jing'an Division, the heart hub of Chang'an City Defense, which can command all the garrison forces in Chang'an City except for the forbidden army. Unfortunately, like the heart, it was just a soft and fragile mass of flesh, vulnerable to a sword piercing its chest.

Long Bo walked past the rows of wooden tables, and the cowhide boots mercilessly broke the scrolls that had fallen to the ground, making an astringent sound of bamboo cracking. He stayed in front of the big sand table for a moment, and curiously broke off a section of the wall, sent it to his eyes to observe, and praised: "It's so exquisite, if the Turks see this, they are afraid that they will die of envy." ”

An old official glanced up and let out a regretful sigh. Long Bo looked at him: "Distressed? This is just a sand table, if the whole Chang'an becomes like this, wouldn't you be even more uncomfortable? He sighed regretfully, and a thin blade slipped out of his hand and swiped it on the old official's neck. The old man fell on the sand table, and the streets of Chang'an were dyed blood-red.

The crowd was terrified again, silenced by the masked man. Long Bo said loudly: "I want to teach you that we are grasshoppers, and we are here today to shake the big tree of Jing'ansi." ”

People looked at each other, they had never heard of such an organization.

Long Bo paced to the back of the sand table, where a row of screens enclosed a semi-independent small space, and the ground floor was raised with wooden planks to overlook the whole hall. There was a green-robed young man standing above, holding the dust in his hand, staring at Long Bo with his eyes extremely calm.

"Li Sicheng, look up for a long time." Long Bo pretended to make a gesture and stepped onto the stage step by step.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Li Mi didn't bother to talk to him at all, it was meaningless.

"Didn't I tell you, mayfly?"

"I'm asking for my real name."

"It's a pity that it's not you who call the shots now." Long Bo snatched the dust from Li Mi's hand and broke it in two, and his hooked nose almost pierced his cheek.

The scribes in the audience all let out a low exclamation, worried for the chief. Li Mi didn't show any timidity, and his sword eyebrows were furrowed to the extreme.

"Jing'an Division has information coming in and out all the time, how long do you think you can hide it?"

Li Mi did not threaten, he was telling the truth. Jing'an Division has a very close connection with the outside world, and in a moment, the defenders outside will notice that something is wrong. Jingzhao Mansion is next door, and the main force of the brigade army is stationed in Jiahuifang, not far to the south, as long as a warning is issued, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming. Even if these people are elite, it is impossible to resist them.

It's not even possible to take hostages. Tang Law clearly stipulates that the hostage holder will attack the hostage at the same time, and it is not allowed to care about the life and death of the hostage.

"Don't bother. It won't take us that long to do things. ”

Long Bo raised his hand, and his men took off the pump and began to spray it everywhere. What came out of the pump was not water, but a viscous ink-like liquid with a pungent smell. When they sprayed, they didn't distinguish between people and things, and poured them all at once. The scribes were sprayed black and could only shiver. The sand table was the focus of care, and the entire Chang'an was almost covered with black ink.

"Yanzhou Stone." Li Mi squeezed out four words between his teeth, and the corners of his eyes were almost cracked.

"Purify the remaining leftovers, I hope Li Sicheng won't dislike it." Long Bo said with a smile, feeling the fire sickle from his waist and throwing it in his hand. Everyone in the hall looked at this thing in horror, and their heartbeats went up and down.

A masked man hurriedly entered the temple and raised his right hand, indicating that the right side of the temple had been suppressed.

Long Bo looked at the water leak in the corner of the temple and was very satisfied with this speed. Now all that's left is news.

The masked man's assault on the left side hall went well, with a large number of files stored here and few guards. Not a single one of them was left alive, and the bodies of a dozen scribes lay on the ground.

The leader of the team made a few gestures, led the person to start pouring with a pump, and then asked the deputy captain to lead the person towards the apse. Their task is to have an apse prison uncleaned.

The deputy captain took five people and walked along the corridor next to the left side hall towards the apse.

From the left side hall to the apse to pass through a small moon gate, behind is a small garden landscape, and then along a section of gable bend, that is, the apse prison is located, there is no fork in the road.

The raid in the early stage was too smooth, and the famous Jing'an Division was simply powerless to fight back. Each of them was relaxed, and there were only a few prisons in this apse, and it didn't take a few snaps of a finger to sweep it out.

They passed through the moon gate, and suddenly their eyes widened. The original owner put a rugged rockery in the middle of this small courtyard, carved as "Penglai", on which the small pavilion, grass house, plank road, green pine and green cypress are all available. There is also a cave in the belly of the mountain, the plaque inscription says the fairy cave, it can be said that it is between square inches, take all the mountain, and have a unique scenery in the dark.

The deputy captain did not appreciate Yaxing, and the group lined up in a long line and passed through the side of the rockery in order.

Just as the last person at the end of the team walked through the rockery, a barrier knife suddenly stretched out from the fairy cave in the rockery and stabbed one person in the chest. The man screamed and fell to the ground. The other five people hurriedly turned around, and without saying a word, they raised their crossbows and fired, instantly drilling the rockery into a hedgehog.

After the shooting, they came to check and found that the fairy cave was open at both ends, and the attackers had already run out from the other side and retreated to the apse.

It was an accident. The vice-captain pressed his palm down in annoyance, and ordered to proceed cautiously next.

So the remaining four men formed a triangular formation, one in front and three in the back, bent their arms and crossbows, bowed their legs, and walked cautiously against the base of the gable towards the apse.

At the end of this section of the gable is a large corner, and beyond the corner is a straight passageway, at the end of which is the prison. Cui Qi and Yao Runeng pressed their backs against the aisle wall at this time, cold sweat was dripping, and their eyes were full of horror.

Just now, Cui Qi was hiding in the fairy cave, and he wanted to listen to the movement outside, just in time for the five people to pass through. Cui Qi tested the reality for a while, but he didn't expect the opponent's counterattack to be so decisive and sharp, if it was half a beat slower, it would be shot into a sieve.

The reaction speed of these guys is stronger than that of the brigade army, which has been refined by a hundred years; They are armed with crossbows that are powerful enough to shoot into rocks.

"Where did all this come from...... Cui Qi licked his dry lips, shocked. Yao Runeng poked his head out of the wall slightly, and a crossbow arrow immediately broke through the wind. Cui Qi hurriedly dragged him back, and the arrow grazed a long bloody streak on the young man's cheek.

Yao Runeng, who had escaped death, turned pale and her legs trembled involuntarily. He didn't expect that in the dark, the opponent's shot would still be so accurate.

"Stupid! They are now searching for the forward formation, the crossbow machines are all stretched, and rashly probing is looking for death! Cui Qi scolded like a recruit. Yao Runeng couldn't care about it: "What should I do next?" ”

Cui Qi pondered for a moment: "There is no cover on this straight road, and when they turn the corner, we will be finished." Go back to the prison first, and resist by the door. ”

At the moment of the great enemy, Cui Qi's general temperament cultivated in Longshan seems to be back.

Yao Runeng regained his spirits: "Okay! Just hold on to the main hall and send someone to help! None of these traitors who robbed the prison could escape. Cui Qi smiled bitterly, and stopped talking, he was not so optimistic.

Prison robbery? The lights are all out in the big watchtower, that is the communication center of Jing'an Division, who will rob the prison so arrogantly? Looking at the number and sophistication of the other party, Cui Qi felt that the main hall was also more auspicious. He knows too well the internal security of Jing'an Division, just four words: strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

Everyone generally thinks that this is in the heart of Chang'an, and it is the official office in charge of arresting thieves, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head? So even a shrewd person like Li Mi didn't put too much thought into it.

As a result, someone really moved, and they moved a lot of dirt.

If it was possible, he didn't want to be martyred for Jing'an Si at all, but there was nowhere to escape at the moment. Cui Qi had to cheer up and see how to survive this catastrophe.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is no longer from Jing'an Division, he can't die here!" He cursed hatefully in his heart, feeling that his luck was really bad.

The two turned around and ran back to the cell. The cell was actually a wood-fired cell, with only three narrow compartments and wooden window lattices. The main entrance was not reinforced in any way, and the two short bronze gates would break if they were kicked up.

Cui Qi called the three jailers over and briefly explained the current situation. The jailers are all soldiers of the brigade army, although they know that Cui Qi betrayed, but at the moment it is the best choice to listen to the old commander. The five of them immediately moved the wooden cabinets, the wooden cabinets, and the bamboo boxes behind the door to hold them, and then tied them together with chains. Cui Qi also took out a jar of wine that the jailer had stolen and spilled it on the wooden railing of the window.

Yao Runeng took out a cigarette pill and threw it out. This thing doesn't work well at night, but it's better than nothing.

The enemy is close at hand, and in a hurry, this is all there is to it.

Yao Runeng finished all this and opened the prison behind him. Wen Ran was sitting in the straw, she had already washed her face with water, and her hair was simply combed and coiled on her head, and her spirit was slightly better than just now. Yao Runeng said apologetically: "I can't talk to you a little later, it's a little troublesome now......"

Wen Ran trusted Yao Runeng very much, and she raised her face: "Trouble? Does it have anything to do with my father-in-law? Yao Runeng didn't know what to say for a while, so he shook his head and said I don't know. Smelling looked over his shoulder and saw that the people outside were busy blocking the door.

"Your voice is shaking, I thought Jing'an Division would be safe......" After half a day of torture, Wen Ran has somewhat cultivated his sensitivity, knowing that this situation is a bit bad.

Yao Runeng smiled bitterly and comforted: "Don't think about it, you move into the prison in a while, don't go too far outside." This one is up to you. Then he handed her a delicate horn-handled dagger. It was handed down from his family and he always carried it close to him.

Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, and put the dagger down. She often uses a knife to cut spices, and she is no stranger to the feel of this thing. Cui Qi shouted outside, and Yao Runeng hurriedly got up and went over.

"Ah, that, you ......" Wen Ran didn't know what his name was, so he could only call you. Yao Runeng turned around and said, "Can I help you?" ”

"Huh?"

"It's always good to have one more person, right? If something happens to you, I won't be spared. Wen Ran turned the dagger in his hand, and his tone was firm, "Engong said that his life is earned by himself. ”

"Hey, Jing'an Division wants to rely on women to go into battle, what are you talking about. You can rest assured, the main hall will send reinforcements soon. Yao Runeng clenched his fists, not knowing whether he was comforting her or himself.

Wen Ran closed his mouth in disappointment, Yao Runeng couldn't care about continuing to be relieved, and turned around and came to the door.

Cui Qi looked out through the crack in the door, it was pitch black outside, and he could barely see a few people moving in the distance. One in front, three in the back, and there seems to be a person following behind.

All the crossbow arrows were aimed at the front, and no one was in charge of the back. This flaw made Cui Qi's heart sink - this is not a flaw, but they have no worries, and the left side hall may have been occupied.

These people's plans seem to be even bigger than they imagined.

"Damn, if there's a crossbow, at least it can disrupt their deployment." Cui Qi thought hatefully. His crossbow was confiscated when he re-entered the Jing'an Division - it wasn't needed for surveillance missions.

Yao Runeng raised his head, but was pressed down by Cui Qi: "Before they raid, they will put a round of crossbow arrows on the window, are you looking for death!" Yao Runeng fell back into the blockage and said in a low voice: "Cui Wei...... Uh, thank you. ”

"I'm saving myself." Cui Ji stared at the crack in the door, his face expressionless. Yao Runeng knew that he was telling the truth, but he was not so resentful now. He took out a piece of jade pig from his arms: "If I die, can I send this back to my house?" ”

"Jade pig? This is rare. Isn't it generally a Pixiu, a unicorn or something like that? A jailer next to him asked curiously.

"The pig can distinguish between straight and straight, and the horn is illegal. It is worthy of a public family, and this artifact is different from other families. Cui Qi saw the origin at a glance, then pushed it back, and laughed at himself, "Don't give it to me, I'm a traitor, I'm afraid it will take the horn against me." ”

Cui Qi's face couldn't be seen clearly in the dark. Yao Runeng had something to say, Cui Qi shouted: "It's here!" ”

The enemy is close enough to shoot a crossbow. The sharp head rolled on the spot and quickly stuck to the door. The four men in the back pointed at the window on this side of the cell. If someone dares to probe, they will be shot in the head.

Sharp pushed the door, but didn't push, which was to be expected. The four men behind him shot at the window at the same time, and then rushed to the door together. Yao Runeng and Cui Qi, who were hiding behind the door, soon smelled a pungent smell that they were all familiar with—Yanzhou Shizhi, which almost caused a big mess in Chang'an.

"Oops! They weren't going to break down the door at all! Cui Qi's face changed, "They plan to burn this place down!" ”

As soon as this thing burns up, it won't stop until the whole firewood room is burned down. The enemy did this in order to force the defenders to open the door on their own. Yao Runeng and Cui Qi glanced at each other, and there was no other way but to attack hard.

They and the jailer reopened the blockage, and the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. A man in black in front of him burst in like a wolf and a tiger, and the jailer who blocked the door and Yao Runeng were knocked to the ground. The man in black put down the crossbow machine and drew his sword.

The switch of weapons was only a momentary gap, and the experienced Cui Qi had been waiting for this opportunity, and he pounced like a fierce tiger.

The barrier knife in his hand had already straightened, and he stabbed the man in black in half at once, and he didn't forget to turn the handle of the knife. At this time, the second person had already rushed up, and Cui Qi didn't have the time to draw the knife, so he hit him directly with his head. The man in black was blinded by Cui Qi's deadly style of play, and had to take another step back.

Cui Qi did not hesitate, deceived and followed up, and punched and hit. There is no discipline in boxing, but the fist is hearty. Under extreme pressure, his skills skimmed away the many worries in Chang'an and regained the courage and happiness of the year in Longshan.

"Longshan Cuiqi! Longshan Cui Qi! At first, he kept his voice low, and the more he hit, the louder it became, until at last he roared like a mad tiger. The second person couldn't resist it, and he was knocked to the ground. He stomped violently, clicked, and smashed the opponent's chest with his footboard.

At this time, the third black-clothed person rushed over, and Cui Qi entangled him in front of the gate. The door of the prison is very narrow, and with such a block, the man in black behind cannot pass his companions and attack Cui Qi.

Yao Runeng and the other three jailers took the opportunity to get up and assist in the siege, which briefly created a four-on-one situation.

At this time, there was a pop, and the crossbow machine sounded. It wasn't the man on this side of the prison who fell, but the man in black standing in the doorway. The deputy captain who was standing outside saw that he couldn't attack for a long time, and he refused to withdraw, so he fired his crossbow directly. This arrow, along with his companion with a Cui weapon, shot a pair of piercing.

No one expected them to do such a black hand to their companions, and everyone didn't have time to react at all. Cui Qi roared angrily and fell to the ground with the man in black.

At this moment, between the jailer, Yao Runeng and the man in black outside, there was no cover. The vice-captain and the other man in black immediately stepped back and distanced themselves. Cui Qi, who fell to the ground, hurriedly raised his head and shouted to be careful, it was a repeater!

But it was too late.

Without the prison for shelter, once they opened up the distance, they could not withstand the enemy's equipment even if they doubled. Crossbow arrows flew and the three jailers fell to the ground one after another. Yao Runeng gritted his teeth and wanted to attack, but was nailed to his left shoulder by an arrow and fell diagonally on the edge of the threshold. Although Cui Qi was injured, his upper body could still move. He gritted his teeth and picked up the knife on the ground and threw it with all his might. The vice-captain used the crossbow machine to block the knife and kicked him away.

The prison counterattack ends here. Three were killed and two were wounded, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

The face of the vice-captain under the mask is very unsightly. On the other side is just a small broken prison, but it is enough for him to lose three elite combat power. He asked one of his remaining men to drag Yao Runeng and Cui Qi into the room, drop them in front of the cell, and then draw a knife.

"You'll regret why you didn't die in battle." The vice-captain said viciously.

Burst.

The sound of steel knives entering the flesh.

The vice-captain is very strange, he hasn't done it yet, how can there be such a voice. He looked at Yao Runeng and Cui Qi again, and there was nothing abnormal about the two. The vice-captain was startled and hurriedly turned his head sideways, only to see the only remaining subordinate standing in place, trembling all over, and the tip of a bloody knife peeking out of his chest.

The vice-captain realized that the man was standing with his back to the cell, and they didn't bother to check if there was anyone inside.

The tip of the knife slowly retreated again, and the man in black let out a grunt and fell to his knees softly, revealing the overwhelmed smell behind him. She was across the railing, holding a knife handed down by Yao Runeng's family.

No one expected this attack. Yao Runeng's pupils shrank, and she yelled for her to step back.

But it was too late, and the vice-captain strode over and pinched Wen Ran's wrist. Smelling the pain, he let out a miserable scream, and the knife fell on the stone slab with a bang. Yao Runeng endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward, but the deputy captain kicked him to the ground and shouted angrily: "Don't worry, don't think about dying a good death!" ”

The vice-captain pulled a leather belt from his waist and tied Wen Ran to the bars of the cell, then leaned over to fetch a handful of pumps from his companion's corpse. With a few nudges, all three of them were sprayed with slimy grease.

When all this was ready, the vice-captain took out the fire sickle with a sinister smile and clicked the fire in his hand.

Yao Ru knew what was about to happen, but he was powerless to stop it. He looked desperately at Wen Ran, who was still dazed; He looked at Cui Qi again, Cui Qi's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his expression.

Yao Runeng looked up to the sky for a moment, his eyes were resolute, and he turned sideways and whispered to Cui Qi: "Cui Wei, when we get on fire later, I will rush forward and hug him, you hurry up and go." ”

Cui Ji opened his eyes and looked at him.

"You are not from Jing'an Division, there is no need to die for Jing'an Division. But I hope you take this girl out, she's innocent. ”

Cui Ji let out a sneer from his nostrils. Yao Runeng didn't know what he was laughing at, but he didn't ask. The young man, who was determined to die, endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and arched his left leg, hoping that he would have the strength to eject it in the moment of the burning fire.

His hands were shaking, his teeth were shaking, and fluid was flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. Cui Qi stretched out an arm and put it on Yao Runeng's shoulder: "Your legs are still good, and you still have a chance to run out, why not?" ”

"Everybody has to be responsible for his choices." Yao Runeng didn't look back. Hearing this, Cui Qi's shoulders trembled slightly.

At this time, the deputy captain finally lit the fire, and the ball of burnt wormwood in his hand had already lit up a small green flame. He glanced at the three black prey, and said bitterly and cruelly:

"Let's do a dance of the fire, you're going to have to die for a long time anyway."

In order not to be affected by the fire, the deputy captain took a few steps back and leaned back against another cell. He calculated that the distance was safe enough, and then he raised his arm to throw the moxa out.

A slender hand, suddenly reaching out from between the bars of the prison behind him, gently snatched the moxa and threw it into the water hole of the pump.

There is still a large half cylinder of stone grease in the pump, and as soon as the burning mugwort is thrown in, I only hear the hula, and the dazzling flames gush out of the pump, instantly enveloping the whole body of the deputy team.

The vice-captain turned into a torch, reflecting the originally dark prison into light. He screamed bitterly, but the scorching heat quickly burned his vocal cords, and only his two legs were still kicking desperately, just like a whirlwind. Not long after, the vice-captain fell to the ground with a thud, his body turned to charcoal, and the flames were still burning.

"Have you all forgotten my Xianzhou Cen Shen?"

A young man shouted angrily from the cell.

Only then did Yao Runeng remember that there was another prisoner in the prison. This guy named Cen Shen was arrested and imprisoned until now because he sabotaged Jing'ansi's plan in Yuanhuaifang, and he is almost forgotten. He had been huddled in the deepest part of the prison, and it was so dark that everyone, including the vice-captain, didn't notice that there was such a person.

Unexpectedly, it was this unlucky ghost who saved people in the end.

So far, all five intruders have been killed. Yao Runeng, who had escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Cui Qixi and said, "Cui Wei, it's safe here for the time being, let's go to the main hall quickly!" ”

"Over in the main hall, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, so I won't go." Cui Qi said indifferently. Yao Runeng was a little angry, he was still fighting side by side with him just now, why did he revert to his old state now?

"If you are afraid of embarrassment, I will explain to Si Cheng that you are not cowering and avoiding the battle." Yao Runeng said.

Cui Qi didn't answer, just smiled slightly bitterly. His hand was removed from his lower abdomen, revealing the shaft of a crossbow arrow that was only the tail, and the blood had soaked the entire placket of the hem.
