Chapter 249: Gather in Dongning
Guided by the light of the fire, the soldiers rushed to the rescue. And Sima Hongyan and the others, under the leadership of Nanfeng Lonely Shadow, are looking for a dark place to run. Later, in order to facilitate their movements, Nanfeng Guying and Ban Lingruo also changed into Dongning soldiers.
This time the movement of several people was more convenient, and there was no obstacle all the way, even if a few soldiers passed by, they had no doubt about their identity, thinking that they were also companions who rushed to fight the fire.
Fortunately, the Nanfeng Lonely Shadow Road is familiar, and after walking for a while, I finally arrived under a courtyard wall in the south of the house. Seeing that there was no one around, Nanfeng Lone Shadow blew a whistle from his mouth, and after waiting for a while, a rope was thrown in from outside the courtyard wall.
Nanfeng Guying caught the rope, handed it to Sima Hongyan, and said, "Guarding outside are the brothers of Xiao Ling Sword Sect, you have suffered here for so many days, you should be the first to go out!" ”
Nanfeng Guying took care of his mood, Sima Hongyan was quite grateful, took the long rope from his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”。
However, Sima Hongyan did not leave, but took Nan Xunyan's hand, put the rope in her hand, and said: "You are looking forward to the outside world more than me, you go first!" ”
Nan Xunyan looked at Sima Hongyan gratefully, but at this time she didn't do too much politeness, smiled slightly, pulled the rope, and floated up.
Nanfeng Guying looked at Sima Hongyan with appreciation, pulled the rope again and handed it to her, and said, "This is a special rope that is very strong and can bear the weight of three people at the same time, you can keep up!" ”
Sima Hongyan didn't shirk this time, she smiled brightly at Nanfeng Lone Shadow, pulled the rope and climbed up, but she was not as light as Nanxunyan, but she went up very fast.
After that, it was Ban Lingruo, but before Ban Lingruo left, Nanfeng Guying said to her: "After you go out, you will rush to the foothold in the city immediately, I will wait for a few other friends, and when they all come out, I will go and join you." ”
If Ban Ling knew that the South Wind Lonely Shadow was strong in martial arts and was also alert, he nodded and said, "Then the South Wind Alliance Master, you be more careful, we will see you in a while!" After saying that, he grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Sima Hongyan followed Nan Xunyan and climbed over the courtyard wall, and then slipped down the rope. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a figure flashed, saved her, and cried out: "Sister Hongyan, I finally saw you, I, I want to kill you!" ”
Sima Hongyan hugged the man in surprise and smiled: "Red Shadow, why are you here too?" As she spoke, she wiped the tears on her face in distress.
Xiao Hongying burst into tears and laughed: "What do you still say, you just disappeared silently, everyone is looking for you everywhere like crazy, if it weren't for Senior Brother asking for Brother Nanfeng, I guess we don't know where you are now!" ”
Sima Hongyan smiled: "Are you willing to be kidnapped?" I was also brought here in a daze. ”
Nan Xunyan frowned on the side and said: "Hongyan, these friends of yours are really talkative, we don't hurry up and withdraw at this time, and we won't be able to leave when the chasing soldiers come." ”
Xiao Hongying glanced at Nan Xunyan and asked Sima Hongyan, "Who is this aunt?" ”
Sima Hongyan immediately patted Xiao Hongying and said, "Hongying, don't be rude, this is Sister Nan Xun Yannan, I can't escape without her, you are not allowed to be big or small to Sister Nan." ”
Xiao Hongying let out an "ah" in surprise, hurriedly ran to Nan Xunyan, and suddenly bowed ninety degrees, and said: "It turned out that Sister Nan saved my Sister Hongyan, I was rude to speak just now, please forgive me!" You are not an aunt, you are the most beautiful Sister Nan in the world. ”
Such a straightforward personality made Nan Xunyan stunned, and he didn't speak, but he felt that Sima Hongyan's friends seemed to be a little nervous.
Outside the wall were all disciples of Xiao Ling Sword Sect, Xiao Hongying, the eldest lady, naturally had the final say, she arranged to leave a few people to guard the rope and wait for Nanfeng Guying and them, and then pulled Sima Hongyan and said: "It's useless to have a lot of people here, let's go to the hiding place." ”
It seems that everyone has been prepared for a long time, and every step is according to the plan, Sima Hongyan didn't say much, beckoned Nan Xunyan to follow, and the group hurriedly went into the nearby alley and walked quickly.
The fire in Taishifu shocked the entire Dongning Imperial City in a while, and there were already soldiers and horses on the road who began martial law, and at the same time rushed to the Taishi Mansion to rescue. And all the people in the city closed their doors, and not one of them ran out to see the excitement. Sima Hongyan and the others ran all the way, but fortunately they did not encounter the Dongning soldiers.
Everyone ran all the way, Xiao Hongying did not leave Sima Hongyan's side an inch, Ban Lingruo also protected the other side, and Nan Xunyan followed behind Sima Hongyan. There are Xiao Ling's disciples leading the way in front, and there are also Xiao Ling's disciples in the back. Sima Hongyan didn't hesitate to see them turning left and right, thinking that this retreat route had also been stepped on many times. It's just that Sima Hongyan couldn't think of any place to hide in this Dongning capital, so many outsiders' goals are really obvious, hiding is a big problem.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the group stopped in front of a large mansion. Sima Hongyan took a look and found that this was an ordinary family's house, but it should be a rich man's house, which was obviously much larger than ordinary people's houses.
A disciple of Xiao Ling stepped forward and lightly clicked on the door knocker, knocked it twice, stopped, knocked three more times, stopped, and then knocked two more times. The door opened, and it seemed that there was always a guard behind it, and one man poked his head out to look, leaving the door open to allow only one person to pass through.
Everyone rushed in, and they all entered the house in an instant, and when Sima Hongyan entered the door, he also glanced at the person who opened the door, and found that it was an old man dressed as a subordinate.
There are no lights in the courtyard, but the moonlight is shining tonight, and you can get a rough idea of the scene in the courtyard. Disciple Xiao Ling led everyone all the way to the backyard. Sima Hongyan asked Xiao Hongying curiously, "Do you still have such a house in Dongning?" Is it the other courtyard of your Xiao Ling Sword Sect? ”
Xiao Hongying smiled: "What other courtyard? This house is occupied by a friend of Brother Nanfeng, and it has nothing to do with our Xiao Ling Sword Sect. ”
Sima Hongyan didn't expect that Nanfeng Guying's communication was quite extensive, even Dongning had friends, and he was willing to risk his life for his group of outsiders, which was really remarkable, it seems that he was not in vain to be the leader of the martial arts alliance in Yanling, not only with high martial arts, but also with good popularity.
After passing through the two courtyards, everyone came to a backyard, where there was no housing, but there was a horse house and a firewood house. A disciple of Xiao Ling looked around, got into the stable, played with his foot on the ground a few times, and then reached out and grabbed a ring from the ground, pulled it upward, and a hole was exposed.
The horses in the stall were very well-behaved, quietly letting them aside, and looking at the group of guys who came to disturb them in the middle of the night with very strange eyes.
Xiao Hongying pulled Sima Hongyan over, and she climbed down the wooden ladder in the entrance of the cave first, Sima Hongyan followed behind her, and Nan Xunyan followed again.
Descending to the bottom of the cave, Xiao Hongying led everyone to continue walking. Sima Hongyan looked around through the small oil lamp on the wall, and found that there was a hole in the underground here, which was completely artificially excavated, and a straight passage did not know where to go. Judging by the age of the surrounding walls, this underground tunnel should be some years old.
After walking for a while, I turned two corners, and suddenly a huge underground space appeared in front of me. Sima Hongyan didn't expect that someone would dig such a big hole underground, and there was no problem at all to see that this area could accommodate more than 100 people.
There were already a few people sitting inside, and they all stood up immediately when they saw them.
When the first person saw Sima Hongyan and the others coming in, he stepped forward quickly, and his eyes kept searching in the crowd. Sima Hongyan saw the slightly anxious face, and said, "Jin Yan, are you looking for me?" ”
As soon as Sima Hongyan spoke, Shi Jinyan immediately saw her, walked over in a few steps, grabbed Sima Hongyan, looked up and down, and then asked lightly, "Are you okay?" ”
Although Shi Jinyan seemed to be indifferent on the surface, Sima Hongyan could hear the slight tremor in her voice, and Shi Jinyan was holding her hand extremely hard. Sima Hongyan knew that Shi Jinyan had always disliked to show her emotions, but in fact, she cared about herself in her heart.
Moved in his heart, Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "It's okay!" It's just that I don't eat much these days. ”
