Chapter 59: Planning a Counterattack
The light of the fire lit up the night like a small sun rising on the ground, and the raging flames, accompanied by the pungent and pungent smoke, carried earth, stone and wood chips throughout the street.
It's not magic!
It's gunpowder!
Black powder made by mixing charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter in a certain proportion.
The group was supposed to be hiding on the corner of the street in the carriage.
Zhu Ping, who was standing at the forefront, leaned against the wall, poked his head out slightly in the shadow of the eaves, and looked at the street where the explosion had occurred with his spare eyes, trying to find out as much information as possible.
Xiao Lina nestled in Zhu Ping's arms, closed her mouth tightly, her face was pale, and her body trembled slightly, like a frightened deer, dazed.
Experiencing the powerlessness of being protected again, she clenched her little fists with a strong personality.
Na Dana was also frightened, and subconsciously surrounded Nina between the two of them.
The biggest hero, Angie, was hiding in the corner and shivering, and he was afraid for a while, just now he used the illusionist's animal communication skills to let the horses run on their own.
They never pretended to leave the car, but there was an illusion that someone was in the car.
Karl, the coachman, and Thor Lina's brother cowered in the corner, trembling.
The group seemed to be playing a drift tail flick on the edge of the cliff, and really felt the meaning of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
"Boss, how did you know there was going to be danger." Anji swallowed dryly, clinging to the wall, eager to learn to make holes and stuff herself in.
Zhu Ping said in a low voice: "Intuition! ”
People have intuition.
The brains of living beings are far more mysterious than they think, and after some images can be seen, the "subjective consciousness" may not care, but in the "shallow consciousness" they will constantly remind themselves.
The psychologist's psychological suggestion method relies on this.
As a warrior, Zhu Ping has clear ears and eyes, gets more information than others, has a more sensitive brain, and is more sensitive to dangerous "intuition".
"Who is ambushing me?
Could it be because when the king was talking to Lin Zheng about the old wizard, there was a momentary abnormality in my body movements, and the king found out, and he wanted to kill me?
No!
It is not necessarily the king, Lin Zheng, who was talking to the king at that time, may also be a killer, and it is even possible that he mentioned this matter to the old king, which was to the people around him.
I want to target the old king and judge the reactions of the people around me by the way. ”
Zhu Ping frowned, feeling remorse in his heart, although he felt that he had disguised himself well, it was really difficult to hide his subconscious body reaction.
For wizards in the extraordinary world, a moment of hesitation, about 0.1 seconds, is powerful enough for wizards to look at the audience.
"I don't want to do this, I have to find a way to escape!" Zhu Ping's eyes were full of anger, and he scolded in his heart: Damn! Why do you have to do it now!
"Anji, how many people are surrounding us?"
When Zhu Ping asked this, Anji was holding a dried insect shell, which looked like a large silkworm chrysalis baked into a dry one, and it was held to his mouth and blown rhythmically.
Blows a sound wave that is inaccessible to the human eardrum.
Then, the extraordinary sparrows in the sky began to make noises, hidden in the roaring flames and the shouts of civilians.
Inconspicuous "encrypted calls".
"Twitter!"
"There are more than thirty killers in total, and they are all standing on the rooftops, all carrying standard knight swords in their hands!
Disciplined, not like mercenaries, more like those who have been rigorously trained, and at least six of them are extraordinary...... "Angie interprets simultaneously.
So many people...... Zhu Ping's muscles tensed unnaturally, his pupils contracted slightly, and then he asked, "What is the state of these people now, are they surrounding us, or are they leaving?" ”
"Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter......"
The extraordinary sparrows exchanged non-stop in mid-air, and Angie listened for a while and confirmed:
"Encircled!"
Taking advantage of the afterglow of the explosion, Zhu Ping secretly glanced at the roof, and seeing that there was no one nearby to investigate for the time being, he took the group along the dark shadow of the eaves to the haystack on the side of the road, and said in a low voice:
"Listen to me......
Let's go our separate ways, Nathana and you two protect Lina, Nina, and Carl, and you break through to the northeast in ten minutes and go to Hepburn's artisan shop at the junction of Upper and Lower Streets.
Anji, you come with me, let's go southwest and rush to Hall Castle. ”
"Master, you let us go out in ten minutes, is it possible that you want to be a target yourself?" Aunt Nina was the first to react and opened her mouth to stop: "You must not be allowed to be trapped." ”
Brother Nada, who didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Ping's words, suddenly got better in the crisis.
Nada took Zhu Ping's hand and said, "Boss, my brothers are here!" How can you lure the enemy? Second child, you take good care of your mother, I have done a lot of work as a bait, and my life is not in the way! ”
"Shut up! What kind of love are you instigating! Zhu Ping couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and said, "With your size, give me a stand-in, do you deserve it?"
Don't make trouble for me, the other party is prepared, and the hired are experienced and powerful killers, what else can you do here except to make trouble?
Take care of your mother and Lina, they are missing a hair, take you and ask. ”
At the same time, Zhu Ping muttered silently in his heart: There is no one in this world who should be cheap by nature!
Even if some people are expensive and some people are cheap, it is an established fact.
But the weak should never belittle themselves.
What kind of prince will Xiangning have?
To be a human being, you are born to be extremely proud.
……
Seeing that the crowd wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Ping tugged on Anji's collar and said, "Isn't there still this guy?" I will use him as a shield at critical moments. ”
The "Animal Language Translator" was dragged by Zhu Ping's collar clothes, his face was red and he didn't dare to breathe, he didn't want to, listening to the sound of the sky chirping, and interpreted in unison:
"Someone came down from the roof and found that we were not inside, everyone jumped down, and there were at least nine fighters, who were searching in all directions."
"Separate actions!"
Zhu Ping stuffed Lina into Nina's arms and whispered, "Everyone...... Remember to protect yourself! ”
After speaking, he dragged Anji and turned his head and left.
This sentence made Nina, Lina, Nathana, Carl Sr., and Thor, who often didn't deserve to appear in the camera, have red eyes, as if they had entered a brick.
Some even cried directly.
Anji sobbed quietly, "Boss, I still want to go with them!" Can. ”
"I'm sorry, no!"
After speaking, Zhu Ping wanted to carry the fifty gold coins in Anji's chest into his arms.
And Anji subconsciously dragged on.
It's like a cat holding its favorite little dried fish.
At this moment, Zhu Ping held Anji in his hands, and the two of them grabbed each other's money bags embroidered with lotus flowers, and behind them was the burning fire of residual firewood, filled with the smoke of explosions.
The picture is quite beautiful.
If you don't think about conversation......
"Let it go!"
"No, it's my money."
"What your money, you sneaked fifty gold coins from me in the casino, don't think I don't know."
"You got it...... Wait, the one who promised me a hundred gold coins still owes me 98 coins, which should have been mine. ”
"What does Lao Tzu owe by virtue of his ability...... Phew, I use this money now, you give it to me first, and I'll pay you an extra hundred gold coins when I go back, okay! ”
“……”
Anji's face was cloudy, and when he saw that the other party's expression did not look like a fake, he also knew that now was not the time to grind, so he let go of his hand.
Zhu Ping, who got the money, couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "I don't want to find a chance to escape, why do you want so much money!" Money-hungry stuff! ”
"You have to remember to pay it back." The thin bamboo pole did not refute, but weakly reminded him.
Zhu Ping was extremely speechless at the degree of slamming the door.
When the two talked and grabbed money, they didn't stand still, but kept walking through the streets and alleys.
Thanks to the reminder of the "eye position" in the sky, you can skillfully and skillfully avoid the enemy's tracking.
After turning around, Zhu Ping and the others stepped on the wall built on the wall, grabbed the wall with both hands, easily flipped over, and jumped on the roof.
By the moonlight, they were shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was pitch black, and the two of them were prostrate on the bricks.
Zhu Ping began to undress, put this gorgeous tuxedo on Anji's head, and said, "After you jump from here, pass past the center of the explosion, it is better to let the firelight illuminate your figure, and it is better to spill all the money on the ground when you run." ”
With that, he stuffed the pocket of money he had just snatched back into Anji's chest.
Anji Qian returned to his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "You stuffed it to me again, so what did you rob before?" ”
Zhu Ping ignored it.
The back and forth of money is not meaningless.
It's an oath of ownership.
This is what Professor Zhao of Psychology taught him...... Sometimes simple movements, body language, are more useful than talking.
Anji's focus was quickly shifted to more important issues, and he was shocked and said, "These money, gold coins! Sprinkled all on the ground? ”
"Yes!"
"What about you!"
"I'm going to ...... in the dark Wait, what do you care about me? Don't talk nonsense! These fifty gold coins are nothing at all, and you will be rewarded with an additional hundred gold coins if you succeed in this deed.
Imitate my voice as you act, I know that as a shapeshifter you can do it, don't think about rolling up and running away, two hundred gold coins, you only have a chance to earn it with me.
If you betray me, you will never be rich again......"
With that, Zhu Ping grabbed a gold coin from Anji's bag and shook it in front of Anji, causing the thin bamboo pole's gaze to move continuously.
Forcibly carry out "golden hypnosis".
100 gold coins plus 100 gold coins is 200, so much money is an irresistible power for Angie to throw off all restraints and sell any part of his body.
Zhu Ping looked at the black-clothed figure on the roof and street in the distance.
The night full of fire, beautiful and bloody, is destined not to be peaceful.
