Chapter 2 Escape from Danger
A chill rose from the soles of Bai Ling's feet, and she looked at Han Chong's lifeless eyes, instinctively wanting to escape.
Running into the backyard should be caught quickly, but if you can break through this door and attract the attention of the brocade guards stationed outside-
"Don't waste your efforts," Han Chong stared at Bai Ling indifferently, "The Jinyi guard at the entrance of the alley is no longer there, and no one will come to support you." ”
There was a slight swallow in Bai Ling's throat.
And he can do it.
Then you can only run to the yard......
Overturn as many clothes poles as possible, preferably knock over all the vases and cups in the house, as long as you can leave traces of chaos, Bai Yi will know that things are not normal when he comes back-
At the moment when Bai Ling turned around suddenly, Han Chong's cold hand had already grabbed her shoulder, and before she could fully react, she felt a sharp pain from her shoulder, as if a fire burned from her shoulder into her arm in an instant, and the position below her right shoulder immediately lost the strength to move.
Han Chong let go of his hand, and Bai Ling staggered back a few steps before falling to the ground—a pain she had never felt before, and she couldn't even make a sound for a while.
"Do you want to run away?"
Bai Ling's tears welled up all of a sudden-sure enough, he was still too naïve, the last time he was in Donglin Temple, the luck could only happen once.
Holding back tears, she supported the ground with her left hand, barely supporting her upper body, still moving slowly backwards.
Han Chong stood in place, watching Bai Ling's futile struggle with a blank expression.
He didn't mind letting Bai Ling continue to hold on to hope and continue this senseless resistance.
He had met many nobles who were more naïve and arrogant than Bai Ling, and they were also rebellious at the first sight, but it was a pity that the arrogance of these people often did not last even an hour.
He looked down at Bai Ling - of course, in front of him was the guest that Ming Gong was going to invite, a child who "can be brought by special means if necessary", and now he is part of the "special means".
"I ...... I see. Bai Ling's breathing fluctuated violently, and she stared at Han Chong intently, "...... You went to Donglin Temple that day, didn't you...... ...... to investigate"
Han Chong didn't speak, but he could tell that Bai Ling was probably trying to stall for time and say something to attract his attention.
"Hmm." He took a small step in the direction of Bai Ling.
"The arsonist is your Ming Gong...... You're going to the scene to check if there are any clues left other than those ignition points......"
Han Chong approached slowly, as if he was deliberately playing this cat-and-mouse game with Bai Ling.
"It's just...... I don't understand, you guys...... Since you want to fall Song...... Why and ...... Can't get along with a Hui Shi monk? ”
Han Chong smiled, it was not an ordinary smile, but like a puppet raising the corners of his mouth, revealing a certain stiff and unnatural temperament. He walked up to Bai Ling and whispered, "...... I'm not interested in what you're talking about, is there anything else? Say something I'm interested in, and I can consider giving you some more time—"
There was a slight sound in the wind, this sound was extremely light and fast, Han Chong's ears moved slightly, and he suddenly flashed back, but a shallow blood had already rubbed out of his cheek.
In the next moment, a flying knife was slanted into the ground beside Han Chong.
Han Chong drew his knife from the place where the flying knife came from with his senses, but before the knife could be unsheathed, a black shadow descending from the sky had already kicked him on the hilt of the knife, knocking him back a few steps. The other party didn't even have a chance to breathe, and when he retreated, he made up three cold blades towards his eyebrows, throat, and heart.
Han Chong's eyes lit up slightly, although he hadn't seen who it was, he already knew.
He turned over and leaped, only to avoid the three throwing knives that came into his face, and the opponent's figure had already flashed close - the hidden blade reflecting the sunlight stabbed out of the opponent's cuff and slammed straight into Han Chong's neck.
It was a double-edged Hidden Blade unique to the brocade guard, which was usually stored on the inside of the wrist, and when it was needed, it would stab out from the direction of the ring finger when it hooked its fingers.
This kind of routine Han Chong is very familiar with, because Wei Ying has also taught him the same move - every shot is towards the opponent's vital point, and every attack paves the way for the next supplementary knife.
——A strong killing intent came to his face.
All this happened too quickly, and it wasn't until Han Chong took a dozen steps back in a row that she could see that it was Wei Shixi who was standing between her and Han Chong.
Such a ruthless Wei Fourteen, Bai Ling is also the first time to see it.
After Han Chong retreated, Wei Shixi didn't chase after him, he quickly retreated to Bai Ling's side without a fight, but his hands were still towards Han Chong, maintaining an offensive posture of meeting the enemy at any time.
“…… You're back. Behind him, Bai Ling's voice trembled slightly.
"Hmm." Wei Shixi said softly, "I'm back." ”
Han Chong was about to say something, Wei Shishi had already taken out a signal bucket from behind his waist, he gently pulled out the wooden cover, the fuse on the inside was instantly ignited, and after a sound, a dark red smoke exploded in the air.
Han Chong snorted lightly, he glanced meaningfully at Wei Shixi and Bai Ling, turned around and disappeared into the undulating brick eaves.
Wei Shixi slowly relaxed at this time, and turned to investigate Bai Ling's injuries.
The sun gradually rose, Wei Shixi helped Bai Ling into the house, he pinched Bai Ling's shoulder with one hand, grabbed her arm with the other, and frowned slightly, "Bear with me." ”
After a crunch of bones, the same pain as before, returned, but Bai Ling gently lifted his right arm—it was able to move again.
"It should just be dislocated, no big deal." Wei Shixi looked at her, "It hurts, doesn't it?" ”
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "...... He is the man of the Ming Gong. ”
Wei Shixi's movements slowed slightly—but the next moment he felt that Han Chong was too reasonable to be from that side.
"He said that Ming Gong wanted to see me." Bai Ling endured the residual pain, "This Ming Gong sent someone like Han Chong to find me...... It can be seen that there is no kind ...... of An"
Is it because he didn't follow his train of thought and reveal Lin Jieyu's identity on the spot in Chuxiu Palace......
What tricks does he have to tear a hole in this matter?
There was the sound of footsteps in the alley, and the nearby Jinyi guards had already gathered in this direction after seeing the dark red flare—including those who were supposed to be stationed at the entrance of the alley. Wei Fourteen put on his hood and led Bai Ling out to hold him accountable—he skipped Han Chong's visit, and asked why when he arrived here, the alleys were empty.
The small flag officer who coordinated the personnel arrangements here was ordered to conduct a self-inspection, and rearranged the personnel near Bai's house to garrison.
When the door was closed again, Bai Ling couldn't help frowning again, she hissed slightly, rubbed her shoulders, and looked at Fourteen with some concern, "Is it really going to be a big deal, I feel like it's hurting more and more?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Shishi nodded, and he gently patted Bai Ling's shoulder, "Here, it may be swollen for a while, but it will go down in a day or two, don't worry." ”
Is it going to take a day or two...... Bai Ling raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Han Chong had disappeared.
I wrote down the account.
“…… It's great that you're back, though. Palling turned to Fourteen, "What have you been doing these days?" Has the emperor interrogated you? ”
