Chapter 123: Take it as a guide
At the signal of Rong Yu, Bai Zhi took advantage of the dark cover to touch the person who suddenly appeared at the corner.
The man was tall and muscular, and he knew that Bai Zhi's figure was not short among men, but when he touched behind him, he realized that he was more than half a head shorter than this man.
The man was pushing a dilapidated cart with a dim butter lamp hanging in front of it, and because of the time, the light that was not bright could only make people see the position in front of him.
Probably because it was too dark in the alley, the man pushed slowly, moving in little by little.
Bai Zhi carefully hid his figure, carefully observed for a while, and found that this man was only tall, his steps were very heavy, and at most he knew some fist and foot kung fu, if it was surprising, it should be his strength.
After weighing the strength of this big man, Bai Zhi's body moved, and he was about to rush forward to deal with this person.
Unexpectedly, he heard a sound of footsteps approaching quickly, and the footsteps were very thick in the darkness, and the big man naturally heard it.
I couldn't help but stop and look back.
At the same time, a fiery dragon suddenly ignited in the originally quiet regent's backyard, heading towards the back door.
Rong Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and Bai Qiden leaned over and quickly whispered in Rong Gu's ear.
"Master, there is no movement over there, either there are too many people to start, or the person who came is too powerful."
Bai Qi paused, and raised his eyes to look at the fire dragon that suddenly appeared in the Regent's mansion. "Looking at this appearance, I think it should have been arranged in the morning."
This truth was not reflected before, but after Bai Qi's reminder, he understood it at the time.
His eyes narrowed slightly in the night.
He had been surprised when he had arrived.
After he took Yun Zhen to Li Jingrui's mansion last time, no matter how dull he was, he also knew how to strengthen the garrison in the mansion.
The garrison in the main courtyard of the main gate has been strengthened, and the encirclement is like an iron bucket, but this back door is inevitably too lax?
Rong Gu thought for a moment in his heart, and immediately understood in his heart that Bai Qi was right, that is, he and Li Jingrui had never taken each other seriously, but he was able to make Yun Zhen suffer again and again, so naturally it was not so easy to get along.
Li Jingrui was so lax behind the door of this mansion, either to invite the gentleman into the urn, or to give something out.
This thought flew through Rong Gu's mind.
There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, Li Jingrui brought the people of the Zhao Mansion into Kyoto, and then locked them in the mansion, guarding them layer by layer, and tonight Hua Zijing made people put on a Hongmen banquet.
Make such a big move.
Rong Gu raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate, and could hear the sound of the door bolt being touched, he waved his hand lightly, his eyes turned slightly, and he ordered in a deep voice to turn all the fireworks around.
The man who was squatting down quickly lifted the black cloth at the right time, and at the same time, there were several sounds of swords clashing at the entrance of the alley.
Under the cover of this sound, the sound of fireworks coming from the rustling was muffled.
"What's the sound out there?"
Looking at the rapidly approaching torches, the door of the mansion was reflected red, and Rong so looked at the fireworks piled up all the way below, and he immediately ordered.
"Put."
The lock of the door was lightly dropped, and the heavy wooden door was quickly pulled open from the inside, and the eyes of the man who came out with the torch narrowed slightly, and he swept the fuse that was burning on the ground.
By the light of the fire above his head, the man suddenly saw what the large pile of things piled up outside the mansion gate was, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted violently. "Retreat!"
It's just that no matter how fast the person behind reacts, the lead has been submerged in the firecracker, and in the blink of an eye, it crackled and crackled.
Firecrackers and fireworks burst out in unison, and the sound was so loud that it was earth-shattering in this dark night.
The fireworks were ordered to be turned around, and the fireworks were aimed directly at the front of the house, and in the frightened eyes of those people, there was a crackling explosion in front of the wooden door.
The fireworks were placed in a row, and naturally some of them hit the people along the gaps.
There was a wail.
The heavens also seemed to be very face-saving, and the night wind lit up a group of fires.
Those who had been beaten were busy rolling on the ground.
Rong Gu and the others did not go far, but at this moment they stood condescendingly on the eaves, looked towards the courtyard from afar, and saw that the people behind them who had not been affected seemed to be carrying something in their hands.
Because it was far away, Rong could only see the shelf, probably carrying people.
He pondered for a moment in his heart, and asked Bai Zhi to take two rockets, adjust them slightly, and fire both arrows together.
He was aiming at the man carrying the stretcher.
The man carrying the stretcher had been shot by a long arrow, and the rocket was wrapped in a fire cloth, but it still used the momentum to directly sink into the man's eyebrows, and the fire cloth on his head fell and smashed into the hair of the man lying on the stretcher.
The strands of hair that were tied up were scorched.
The other rocket missed its head slightly, plunging into the other person's waist and abdomen.
The man snorted in pain and let go.
The man on the stretcher fell to the ground.
Because the two rockets that were airborne made a mess of this already chaotic scene, people panicked for a while, looking for the source of the rocket.
When the leader ordered the others to close the door of the house, and the white smoke cleared, he turned around and found that the man lying on the stretcher was burning motionless, and the fire had burned through his scalp, emitting an indescribable stench.
"Why don't you put out the fire?"
In the midst of his angry roar, those people reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the fire.
Although it was far away, Rong Gu's eyes were fixed on the stretcher, and he found that he was burned, but the man did not move at all.
Even a seriously injured person will have some convulsions when burned by the fire, but this person does not move at all.
There's only one possibility.
This is a dead one.
Rong Gu's eyes dimmed slightly, and his gaze wandered around the five or six stretchers behind him.
I immediately understood in my heart why Li Jingrui couldn't bear it after entering Beijing.
It was because all the hostages in his hands had been lost.
So where are they going to transport the bodies?
"Go help Bai Zhi and involve those people." Rong Gu immediately understood Li Jingrui's estimation in his heart, and immediately said in a deep voice.
There is such a big movement here that it should not be long before the night patrol is brought in.
Don't these people want to get them all out?
How can it be so simple?
Now that he had figured out Li Jingrui's intentions, Rong Yu immediately issued a few orders, and his color changed suddenly, and he suddenly looked up in the direction of the imperial city.
Since Li Jingrui dares to do this, then nine times out of ten, Yun Zhen's current situation is not good.
The corners of Rong Gu's lips were slightly pursed, and his figure was like a ghost in the night sky, and he immediately headed towards the direction of the imperial city.
It's just that he just took a step, Rong Gu's ears moved, and he sensitively sensed a killing intent, his heart sank, his toes were a little heavier on the wall, and then he used a few flips in the air, narrowly avoiding the short sword that was flying quickly.
Although the short sword was missing, the sword still cut a slender slit in his robe.
From under the eaves climbed up a man in Tsing Yi, this person is tall, sturdy like a bear, stepping on the wall is not as easy as Rong So, but he also forcibly relies on his own internal strength to stabilize his body, his tiger eyes are unusually shining in the night.
"Since Your Excellency is here, then don't be in a hurry to leave."
The man's rough voice echoed his figure, low as a thunder in the sky, deafening, blocking in front of Rong's body, like a wall, full of oppression.
Rong Gu's eyes overflowed with a touch of surprise, this person spoke with an obvious Southern Tang accent, and his body was a little rougher than that of ordinary men.
Obviously a native of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that the man rushed forward, Rong Gu's body leaned slightly, and he took a few steps back expressionlessly, and he faintly felt very strange in his mind.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a group of people entangled with Bai Zhi and others at the corner of the corner, and they were very familiar with each other.
was originally attacked by Bai Zhi and others suddenly, and he fell behind, but now he has a faint feeling of pulling the situation back into a city.
Although the man's body is not as sharp as Rong So, but his long sleeves floated, and the thick and long sleeve arrows hidden in his sleeves appeared in an instant, fortunately, there was no accurate hand under this person, but if there were more arrows in his sleeves, and a few more times, Rong would have to suffer some small injuries and not be able to retreat.
Rong Gu's brows frowned tightly, and a touch of uneasiness faintly surfaced in his heart.
These Southern Tang Dynasty people sneaked into Kyoto, Ling Kingdom, and they didn't shy away from it?
It stands to reason that since they sneaked into Kyoto quietly, they naturally knew that Bai Zhi was delaying time, but they didn't get impatient, but faintly wanted to suppress them and devour them cleanly?
Although these Southern Tang people knew at a glance that they were good hands and feet, once they attracted patrol soldiers, they would be unable to defeat them with two fists and four hands, and they would be dragged to stop them, and at most they would lose both, and they would definitely not end up well.
Unless, if they have no fear, they know that no matter how big the movement is, there will be no patrol soldiers coming.
Yes, Li Jingrui has been eradicated by Hua Zijing in these days, although many of his henchmen have been eradicated, but according to his status as regent, it is still possible to mobilize and control some patrol soldiers.
So?
What did Li Jingrui want to do by arranging so many Southern Tang people with strong martial arts to receive those corpses of the Zhao Mansion?
Rong Gu's heart sank, and a thought quickly passed through his mind, and even if his face fell silent, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over.
Isn't it?
Didn't Li Jingruimo want to use these Zhao corpses as a guide?
