Chapter Thirty-Four—The Wind and Snow (I)
PS: The climax is coming, and these chapters are the most recent focus, foreshadowing future developments and changes. More life fetters and the torture and pain of fate, all of which will slowly unfold step by step as the plot develops
The sky of Wakajo was now cloudy and uncertain as if it were covered with sad faces. If the people of the city gazed at the sun rising in the east and the sunset in the west every day, their feelings seemed extremely complicated, just like the sun hidden behind the clouds every day, they could not understand when they would be able to truly settle down. In three years, Ruocheng developed under the leadership and innovation of Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi State, just when these people thought that their better life was coming, the unexpected uprising of the Ming people caused them to fall into the dark abyss again. Although they also organized several different forces to fight back against the rule of the Ming people, these forces were all wiped out by the Ming people, and even killed them all to make an example of the monkeys. The people are now unarmed and do not dare to resist at all. What's more, they haven't received the pardon from Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State, so that these people are in a deep state of confusion, and they don't know how to deal with the current situation.
Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that even though the Ming clan did not close the gates of Ruocheng, leaving a chance for them to abscond out. But most of the people still stayed in Ruocheng as if they had given up on themselves. I don't know what to pray for there, or what to wait for.
At this time, due to the Ming clan's lack of defense, in fact, there were already a large number of Qi Demon Spirit secret envoys or capable soldiers sent by Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu who had already infiltrated the interior of Ruocheng. Their purpose is the same, that is, to find Chen Jie, the governor of Qi who is still lost in Ruocheng. It's just that he hasn't found a good opportunity to rescue Chen Jie yet. According to the secret reports that have been investigated now, Chen Jie is imprisoned in his mansion, but his mansion is now guarded by the Ming army, and the strict guards make these demon spirit envoys feel that they are not manpowered, so they are just waiting now, waiting for the opportunity to appear.
Through the central street of Ruocheng, continue to a small road in the southwest, and there is the residence of Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi State. In recent days, there have been no more people to be seen outside this mansion. But in their place were hundreds of Ming soldiers, who were ordered to guard here by Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi State.
A few days ago, there were still "ordinary people" who came to the door of Chen Jie's mansion, in a vain attempt to rescue Chen Jie by themselves. But he was killed on the spot by the guarding Ming soldiers without hesitation. Since then, no one has rushed into this mansion without any recklessness. Chen Jie's mansion has also become a veritable forbidden place in Ruocheng. The people usually walked from another distant road, and they didn't dare to appear at the door of Chen Jie's mansion.
However, today, some people inadvertently discovered that three young people who didn't look very old had quietly approached Chen Jie's mansion through the cover of the people, and the people who noticed it could only feel sorry and pity for them, but they didn't dare to rescue them. However, this news reached the ears of those demon spirit envoys and Qi soldiers who were also preparing to implement the plan to save Chen Jie in Ruocheng, and they were very interested in this, and immediately ordered the elite soldiers who had been monitoring outside Chen Jie's mansion day and night to observe these three young people who were not afraid of tigers as newborn calves, to see if they had the strength to open up a path for them.
These three young people are none other than Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan. Today, they sneaked into Chen Jie's mansion to find Chen Jie's trace, and Yu Fei went north to Jincheng to visit his father and mother first, and did not follow them to Ruocheng. When Feng Yu rushed into them, he didn't expect that the number of defenders in this Ruocheng City was not large and the guards were not strict, and this Chen Jie's mansion was so tightly defended. As soon as they approached the mansion, dozens of heavily armed guards patrolled the doorway, and they didn't want to be beaten by humanity. So, Feng Yuchong and the three of them cautiously bypassed the main entrance of Chen Jie's mansion and went to the rear to look for opportunities.
Because Chen Jie's mansion was built against the Ruocheng city wall. The mansion is backed by a city wall and has a narrow passage. This passage itself was rarely walked, and Feng Yu rushed to the three of them and quietly sneaked into this small passage. It was not discovered by the people around him. Moreover, this passage was close to the west gate of Ruocheng, and the soldiers of the Ming clan guarding the city gate did not find Feng Yuchong and them.
Just when Feng Yu was secretly happy in their hearts, two arrows suddenly burst out from above their heads. Fortunately, Feng Yu reacted very quickly to the three of them, and the moment they heard the sound of the bowstring, they almost subconsciously realized that something was wrong with the situation, and they immediately turned sideways to dodge. Waiting for them to roll over to avoid the attack, they found the three soldiers guarding the back of Chen Jie's mansion, these three soldiers were holding bows and arrows in their hands, staring at them coldly. Obviously, they didn't kill them because they were children.
The reason why these three soldiers with bows and arrows did not drive them away was because they noticed Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, who were sweet and lovely in appearance and proud and beautiful in shape. Among them, Feng Shanshan looks eccentric and young. However, Gao Hanyue still attracted their attention very much, and they couldn't bear to hurt Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan, so they were ready to let them go. However, even so, a soldier with a bow and arrow standing on the right side above Chen Jie's mansion shouted to Feng Yu and the three of them with some annoyance: "If you three little hairy children don't want to die, don't stay here and go home quickly."
Before he finished his words, Feng Shanshan, who was standing below with eyes as bright as sapphire, flicked her hand leisurely, and three silver white lights flashed out from her hand like swift lightning. The three defenders standing above the mansion were not prepared in the slightest, and suddenly felt a deep and indifferent chill in their throats. When they looked down and glanced at it, they couldn't say a word again. Their throats choked, and they finally realized that the woman who was glamorous and even picturesque in appearance was also the most ruthless woman.
Taking advantage of the fact that these three people with bows and arrows did not have the opportunity to attack them at the first time, Feng Shanshan immediately struck first, and three meteor wheels immediately flew out of her hands, and the meteor wheels flashed out like swift lightning, and the three soldiers standing on Chen Jie's mansion fell to the ground in response.
This is not the first time Feng Shanshan has killed people, the last time she returned to Huicheng, she accidentally killed three Ming soldiers. And Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue, who were standing on the side, no longer had any pity and indifferent expressions on their faces, these acts of destroying their hometown and hurting the people could not be tolerated at all. They were deeply resented by this Ming clan that destroyed harmony and lured wolves into the house. Feng Shanshan's fierce attack directly killed the three Ming soldiers who were fighting for the tiger.
Feng Shanshan took back the three meteor wheels that flew out, smiled at Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue, and signaled that they could sneak into Chen Jie's mansion from here. Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue jumped up and easily jumped into the interior of this mansion from outside the door. Here, the three of them didn't notice anything unusual, and there were still two small trees growing in the small courtyard. There weren't any other soldiers on the defensive. This made Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan a little unaware of what was going on, and they became so indifferent.
Just when Feng Yu was a little confused about them, a long laugh came from outside Chen Jie's mansion: "I knew you would still come after all."
This voice seemed a little low and hoarse, but whether it was Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, or Feng Shanshan, they all heard the owner of this voice at once, and it was exactly what they were looking for this time, Chen Jie, the governor of the southern part of the Qi State.
Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan had an indescribable excitement and surprise on their faces. However, with the appearance of Chen Jie's figure, the ecstasy that had inspired them from their original excitement turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, turning into a look of shock and disbelief.
Chen Jie is still Chen Jie, still wearing a white armor on his body, looking a little pale, but full of a smile like a winner. Such a smile made Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, and Feng Shanshan's originally happy expressions turn into disbelief, and even unconsciously became a little pale.
Chen Jie smiled slightly, looking at the three young people in front of him who looked like little adults, his face unconsciously showed a touch of appreciation. As if muttering to himself, he said: "What a good young man, it's really different from the current children, it's a pity, we are destined to become enemies, otherwise, I want to make good use of the three of you."
Chen Jie's words made Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan's mood instantly fall to the freezing point, and their faces gradually became as cold as snow with the gradually cold sky and the blood-colored sunset that gradually sank westward. Chen Jie raised his head and stared at the gradually darkening sky, as if he was muttering to himself, "Is it going to rain after all?"
As soon as his words fell, there was a little lightning and a dull thunder in the sky, and with the wind that swept in and became more and more violent. Raindrops the size of beans poured down from the sky, drenching the four people who were still standing in this small courtyard, but they didn't realize it, and they didn't take the rainstorm to heart at all. Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, and Feng Shanshan just looked at Chen Jie in front of them with disbelief on their faces, and met his shining and clear eyes. Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan felt unbelievable, they couldn't believe that this thing was true, and the general Chen Jie, who they had always believed in the most, turned out to be
