Chapter 288: Fear
Cheng Rui gave an order, and everyone acted quickly.
It was a pre-planned killing.
Cheng Rui vaguely saw the woman in the crowd, it must be Li Ji's, Cheng Rui decided to kill the woman with his own hands.
The reason is very simple, they are infected with the plague in Ding Temple, it is easy to kill him, but Li Ji's is different, if she is given a chance, the people around her will protect her and escape, so she is the key.
Cheng Rui pulled out the knife, and when he saw clearly that Li Ji's side was following Ji Yuanzheng, he raised his lips slightly, and sure enough, he chose the right one, and now he can solve the two without much effort.
Cheng Rui's standing knife blocked Ji Yanran's way, and he said in a cold voice: "Tell me, how did you escape." "It's not easy to rescue so many people.
Ji Yanran was not surprised by Cheng Rui's arrival, she raised her head, her eyes were as bright as stars, and there was no fear on her face, but a trace of ridicule.
Cheng Rui frowned, and his heart seemed to be pressed by a stone, and he was indescribably depressed. He hated this gaze, like looking at something insignificant that would be thrown away anytime and anywhere.
"That's you."
A rough voice came from behind Cheng Rui, and then a long whip came in front of him, and the whip hit his arm slightly.
Cheng Rui didn't notice that he was beaten for a while, and the hot pain made him almost let go of the knife in his hand.
"But just set a fire, you think you'll be fine? What an idiot. “
Cheng Rui hadn't found anyone to speak, and the whip was nimbly drawn towards him.
By this time, Cheng Rui had already understood that Li Ji's family and they were able to escape smoothly because they discovered their existence in advance, and they had already thought of how to deal with it.
At the moment when the fire burns, use a long whip to open a gap in the house to limit the spread of flames, and in the blink of an eye, everyone can be rescued, and after escaping, they hide to wait for the rabbit, so that they can take the initiative.
Cheng Rui's eyes widened, he was fooled like this.
Just because he didn't take Li Ji's woman and a room full of wounded soldiers in his eyes from the beginning, they were too weak, like fish and meat to be slaughtered, and the reason why he let these people live until now is precisely because of his kindness.
Now he knew he had miscalculated, but the victory would still be his.
"Boy, where is your majesty?"
A thin old man walked out with a whip, and when he came to Cheng Rui's side, he continued: "It's really better than one, with so many people but hiding in the dark and releasing cold arrows, just to deal with a weak woman......"
Old Ray shook his head as he spoke.
Cheng Rui clenched his fingers, and the whole person was ready to go, ready to solve the old man's life in one leap, but a scene that he couldn't believe happened.
Lao Lei seemed to be bored, yawned and stretched, and his rickety body slowly straightened up at this moment.
The bones crackled, the whole body kept stretching, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a thin old man to a tall middle-aged man.
Lao Lei didn't rush to make a move, but looked at Ji Yanran: "What should I do next?" “
Ji Yanran smiled: "The murderer was killed. “
"Leave no one alive? How will the case be tried after that day? “
"You don't need to judge him," Ji Yanran's eyes fell on Cheng Rui, "as long as you convict him directly." “
Lao Lei's eyes lit up: "This is good, it saves a lot of trouble." “
Cheng Rui has never been treated like this, even if he takes someone to hide here, the prefect of Dingzhou will give him some face, whether it is the Jiang family who arranged this matter, or Lord Xie Ji, they all know that he is very important.
Casually opening his mouth like this to kill him is simply a mockery and insult to him.
Cheng Rui raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Ji Yanran angrily.
"Hey," Lao Lei was surprised, "to be so cowardly." “
"Song Qi," Cheng shouted out Lao Lei's real name, "I've been away for a long time, and my hands are rusty, so it's not as good as our brothers......"
Lao Lei laughed silently, no one had called him by his name for a long time, and it was so long that it suddenly sounded hot in the eyes, he was really old, so he would have so much sentimentality.
Song Qi took a sip and said to Cheng Rui lazily: "Your opponent is me." After saying that, his wrist trembled, and the long whip approached Cheng Rui again.
Cheng Rui had to give up Ji Yanran to deal with Song Qi.
The figures of the two men are entangled.
Cheng Da walked to Ji Yanran's side, his eyes were full of excitement: "Our brother has been looking for him for so many years, but I didn't expect him to be in Dingzhou, and he also sat up as a coachman, I was a little puzzled when I saw the whip in his hand on the way before, and after discovering Cheng Rui's traces, we were ready to do it, he glanced at me, and I understood everything." “
It was like a family reunion that had been separated for many years.
"This guy is flamboyant and cautious, and he has a quirk, no one knows what he thinks, after the princess went, when the Ran family wanted to find him, he was long gone, and we all thought he had left...... After all, he is an uninhibited person, and who knows that he is there for us.
We're here to treat the plague, and this guy must be watching in the dark, and he won't reveal his identity unless he convinces you. “
Along the way here, Song Qi didn't hide his identity, otherwise they were afraid that they wouldn't recognize him.
After saying so much happily in his heart, Cheng Da was a little embarrassed, but Ji Yanran never interrupted Cheng Da's words and listened to him quietly.
Cheng Da calmed down before continuing: "The situation outside has been figured out, the people they brought this time are different from those people in Ding Temple, they are really trained light horses, what the Jiang family really needs is these people, Ding Temple They are just covering up for the Jiang family." “
Li Yong said that the Cui family had an accident in Pinglu, and Jiang Ran arrived with troops to quickly take over the affairs of Pinglu.
Jiang Ran is in Hedong Road, it will take some time to rush over, even if there is an eyeliner in Pinglu, the news cannot be delivered so quickly, Li Yong suspected that the death of General Cui was planned by the Jiang family, so it seems that this is indeed the case, these light horses have proved the Jiang family's foresight.
If you can leave a team of light cavalry in important places, you can strive to take the initiative to obtain the maximum benefit at the right time.
The Jiang family is really powerful, not only arranged these, but also found the prince as a cover, and dragged the prince into the water as long as something happened. This is the reason why Li Yue didn't do it, such a good handle can't be wasted casually, and the Jiang family, who must be forced, can't turn over.
Cheng Dadao: "Next, it's up to Song Qi." “
……
Cheng Rui became more and more frightened, no matter what trick he used, he would be dissolved by the whip, his forehead was gradually dripping with sweat, but the person opposite still had a smile on his face.
He couldn't even spare the time to look around him, wondering what was going on with the men he had brought with him.
