Chapter 13: A Suspicious Night
"It's been four years, chance, what chance!" Gan Sheng slammed his fist on the piano. The strings wailed, and a wave of sound spread, shattering the items on the table, and even the candle flame and the charcoal basin were robbed of their temperature. The room was plunged into darkness for a moment.
Gan Sheng woke up from his memories, smiled wryly and pushed open the window, groping for flint by the faint moonlight outside the window.
Suddenly, something seemed to be beating in Gan Sheng's afterglow. Gan Sheng raised his head and stared, and on the roof not far away, two figures were being chased by five other figures.
With Gan Sheng's extraordinary eyesight, it can be seen that the person in the front is wearing a black ghost mask, a black tightsuit, and a handguard blade on his left and right wrists, which turns out to be a charmed general. The charm general is quite good, far ahead of the five people chasing them, and it shouldn't be a problem to escape. Of course, it was still far from Xi, if it was Xi, he could kill those five pursuers in an instant without being discovered by other reinforcements.
The other man was clearly not in a good condition, barely keeping a distance from his pursuers behind him. If it weren't for his companions deliberately slowing down, he would be the only one left to be hunted down at this time.
Even so, that person's figure is extremely weird, fluttering like smoke, treacherous like a cloud, even Gan Sheng can't see his figure clearly, and can only guess that he is a charmed general. It was with his strange posture that the man kept dodging the crossbow arrows of his pursuers before he fled until now.
Gan Sheng fumbled for the flint, lit the candle, closed the window and continued to adjust the strings. Almost every charm general dies in a silent execution, which is the fate of the charm general. It's just a dead person, what does it have to do with him?
But why is there a sense of disobedience in my heart?
Gan Sheng suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to debug the new piano. The overly tight strings grazed Gan Sheng's fingers, and Gan Sheng had to stop and think seriously. There must have been something wrong with that scene just now, I saw it, but I didn't react.
No way!
Gan Sheng was overwhelmed by the doubts in his heart, extinguished the candle, and pushed open the window. Those people were about to disappear at the end of the field of vision just now, Gan Sheng picked up the Nine Sins Piano, jumped out of the window with a lift, and quickly chased after them. After a while, Gan Sheng hung tightly behind those people not far away. The ghost, who was about to escape from the pursuit, deliberately controlled his speed and kept a distance from his companions, while his strange companions still couldn't see clearly, barely dodging the crossbow arrows in the rear, and it seemed that it was difficult to escape the pursuit.
There are blood stains on the rooftops along the way. Gan Sheng felt that it should be left by the charm general who couldn't see clearly, that person's body was weird, but he couldn't close the distance from the pursuers, it should be caused by injury. Gan Sheng thought as his fingertips shook out sound waves, smashing the blood-stained tiles into pieces.
But what's wrong? The truth is right in front of my eyes, but I can't tell it.
Suddenly, the wounded charm was shot by a crossbow arrow as he leaped over one of the eaves, and like a bird with broken wings, it fell from mid-air and plunged headlong into the window of the opposite house. Then, the pursuers in the rear also jumped into the window one after another like flying locusts.
Another pitiful victim, but Gan Sheng has no mercy on him, especially for Xi's subordinates. It's time for this ridiculous night to end, Gan Sheng thought to himself.
But the seventh figure who broke through the window told Gan Sheng that he was wrong.
The general who should have fled, returned, and he came to save his companion. Gan Sheng finally understood where the discord was.
Is there a ghost general in this world who will risk his life to rescue his comrades? The normal relationship between the Charms should be this: if the other Charms are unable to escape the pursuit, they will kill him with their own hands. And the charm general wearing the gauntlet blade not only did not kill the injured companion, but risked death to return to the rescue.
The identity of the Charm Generals will always be a mystery, and no one knows who they are except for themselves and the King of Xiling, and even the other Charm Generals only know each other's code names. Therefore, the possibility that the two have an excellent relationship can be ruled out.
Moreover, the charm kept his distance until his companion fell into a mortal situation, rather than fleeing alone or immediately coming to the rescue. It shows that he is worried about his companion, but he does not want to involve himself, and before his companion is arrowed, he has always had the illusion that his companion can escape by himself. He made a last-minute move, indicating that he was forced to be helpless, and he could not let his companion die.
His motivation to rescue his companions was not strong, and he should have been forced by external pressure. This kind of pressure may come from the charm department, or from Xi, or even from Shan Huaiyan. In short, the carrier of that pressure, his injured companion, must not be an ordinary charmer.
Tonight, it's destined to be extraordinary.
It was a house that had been abandoned for some time. The wounded Charm will huddle in a corner, his companions in front of him, confronting the five men who are pursuing them. The ghost mask of the charm general was split open, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, his shirt was torn open, a hideous knife wound spread from his chest to his abdomen, and the gauntlet blade on his wrist was still dripping blood. The five people who confronted him were in the uniform of the Shaoyang Spirit Guard.
The Shaoyang Lingwei Division is a full-time agency responsible for the security of Shaoyang City, directly under the Lingwei Governor, and during the period of Qianying's birth, it was under the command of Qianying. One of the five fell to the ground, his throat was slit, and the leader was also cut on his left arm, bleeding profusely. For a time, neither side dared to act rashly. The leader understood that the strength of the charm general in front of him was stronger than that of himself and others. Just now they didn't expect that the magic general would rush back to save people, and as soon as they met each other, one of their subordinates was killed and he was injured. Although he slashed at the other party's face with a single sword, the protective power of the ghost mask was beyond his expectations, and the expensive Kuimu was both light and strong, and this knife only split the mask without hurting anyone.
To be honest, if this wasn't inside Shaoyang City, they wouldn't dare to chase it. At the very least, send a signal and wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, at this moment, the two charms in front of him, one lightly injured and the other seriously injured, was a rare opportunity for meritorious service for those of them who had not been reused in the Spirit Guard Division for many years.
"Your Excellency is very skilled, but your injuries are not light, and it is not good for both parties to fight hard. Besides, this is Shaoyang City, even if I don't send a signal, the other Spirit Guard teams will find it sooner or later. At that time, it was difficult for you to leave. It's better to leave the charm behind you, and we'll let you go. "Although the opportunity to make meritorious service is rare, the leader is still sensible, and the charm in front of him is very fierce, and he may pay a great price if he fights hard. Send him away, and bring back the charm who has lost the ability to resist, which is still a great achievement.
Hearing this, the charm scolded in his heart. How could he not want to go, but he really couldn't go. If a person is handed over to the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan, his head will not have to stay on his neck. He didn't know how many times he had scolded Xi now, if he hadn't forced him to bring someone to carry out the mission together, how could he have fallen into this situation. Xi, this guy, found a high-sounding reason, saying that he failed two missions and had to find someone to help, obviously trying to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if it wasn't for Xi who seriously injured himself back then, how could he have fallen into such a field, and he couldn't even clean up these few miscellaneous fish.
The middle-aged man clenched his fists, and the man at the head said when he saw this: "It seems that Your Excellency has made up your mind, so you can't complain about the brothers." ”
Just as the two sides were about to fight, another figure appeared at the window with a black object on its back, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry guys, it took me a little time to set up the sonic barrier outside this house, I just don't want the sudden flare to disturb us." ”
The clouds in the night sky swallowed the moon, and darkness shrouded Shaoyang.
