Chapter Eighty-Four: A Night at the Museum
Jefferson Hotel, Manhattan, New York.
Qin Beiyang and Jiu Se stared at Ah Hai's face.
Although, Kogi and the ama swore that they would kill all the assassins on Mount Dharma. But seeing this face again, it still made Qin Beiyang's blood run wild, both hateful and excited. Maybe Xiaomu lied, maybe the assassin had a big life and escaped death. Qin Beiyang once swore in front of the grave of his adoptive parents that he would kill this assassin with his own hands. Now this opportunity has come again. Tonight, revenge.
"Put down the file box!"
Anna also rushed to the rooftop and saw the face of the Assassin Ahai. She didn't have time to tell Qin Beiyang that last summer, she had met the assassins on the narrow road on Dharma Mountain.
The corners of Ah Hai's mouth twitched slightly-nine years ago, when Qin Beiyang was a little boy, he left him with an eternal scar.
He held the file box in his left hand, and the dagger with the ivory handle in his right hand flashed.
Qin Beiyang raised the Tang knife and slashed directly at his left hand, wanting to cut it off in one fell swoop and take the opportunity to recapture the file box.
The Assassin flew out of the rooftop.
Suicide by jumping off a building? Qin Beiyang stretched out his hand to grab him, but he pounced, and he almost fell off the twenty-story building.
Ah Hai drew an arc in the sky of New York, crossed the narrow streets, and jumped to the opposite roof like a bird spreading its wings.
Can't let him escape - Qin Beiyang didn't have any other thoughts, he took a few steps back to run, just like jumping on a French steamer in Japan, spreading his legs and flying into the sky.
The wind filled his ears, Manhattan flew under his feet, and the black harbor of New York slept silently.
Assassin's lightness!
The cliffs of heaven and the white cranes seem to be flying in the night sky of Manhattan......
Finally, he fell to the opposite roof, fortunately two stories shorter than the Jefferson Hotel, and had a descending angle, otherwise he would have fallen to his death under the abyss.
Nine colors also jumped over, and for a tomb beast, this kind of jump was not a problem at all.
Qin Beiyang continued to chase the assassin Ah Hai, and Ouyang Anna, who couldn't jump, lay on the opposite roof and shouted: "Beiyang! Whether you can get the file box back or not, you have to be careful! ”
Ah Hai jumped on the roof of the building next door again, this time half a story lower, it seems that he is the leader of the "Assassin Road", and he is good at flying cornices and walls.
Qin Beiyang and Jiuse were in hot pursuit. In the middle of New York, they chased as they could, from roof to roof, from street to street. Despite the boiling blood all over his body, he stopped the Nine Colors Transformation from spitting out a glass fireball, because while burning Ah Hai, he would also burn the file boxes worth the entire Shandong Province.
Two people, one beast, three ghostly shadows, flew all the way to Broadway. On the roof of a large theater, where there was nowhere to jump anymore, Ah Hai climbed down the theater stairs and heard the sound of a lively band......
Tonight, the last play in New York, has been performed for five long hours. A group of blacks were singing about the suffering of the Civil War, and the theater was packed.
Ah Hai grabbed a rope and parachuted directly onto the Broadway stage. The actors screamed and fled, and the audience was stunned.
Qin Beiyang also grabbed the rope and came down, and Jiu Se jumped off the stage. He blocked the Assassin's path and slashed out a three-foot Tang knife. Under the spotlight, Ah Hai nimbly dodged the blow, still holding on to the file box. Qin Beiyang didn't let the assassin have a chance to fight closely, otherwise the dagger would cut his throat. Ah Hai couldn't take advantage of it, grabbed a prop rifle and tied it to a bayonet that didn't open the edge. In an instant, the rifle had been split in two by the Tang knife.
The audience applauded, thinking that this was a specially arranged tidbit of the musical, plus oriental martial arts and animal performances.
The Assassin flew off the stage and fled along the auditorium passage. Qin Beiyang and Jiuse chased after them, and several American girls stood up and said, "Handsome! ”
Outside the theater, on Broadway in the middle of the night, Ah Hai continued to run wildly. Qin Beiyang is like a shadow, and it will not disappear until the ends of the earth. After a few intersections, you will find Fifth Avenue, which runs north and south of New York, and Central Park on your left.
All the way to the north, a towering building appeared, which looked like an ancient Greek and Roman building in the moonlight, and Ah Hai panicked into it.
Qin Beiyang also rushed in, with a tall dome above his head, and strange figures swaying everywhere. Nine Colors suddenly became alert, and it raised its claws to slap the walls, as if returning to the Ancient Necropolis Palace.
He saw a lion, with a bronze shell, a pair of feathered wings on its back, and on its head was a man wearing a crown, with a full beard, curly hanging down to the lion's chest.
It turned out to be an ancient statue, and it was also marked in English at the bottom, and Qin Beiyang roughly understood it - the ancient Assyrian bronze lion, dated to 2,000 BC, almost the Xia Dynasty in China!
It is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a mecca for art and artifacts in the Western Hemisphere.
Magical Night at the Museum.
Ah Hai fled into a showroom, where dozens of men and women emerged from the walls, carrying flintlock pistols and sabers, rowing across the frozen river. The first general, with his eyes firmly fixed across the river and the thirteen-star American flag rolled behind him, is the Metropolitan Museum's treasure, "Washington Crossing the Delaware," and the main character is Washington, the founding father of the United States.
Qin Beiyang and Jiuse also came to the showroom and blocked the assassin in the corner. Thankfully, the file box is still in his hands.
In the past, there were at least two Assassins who had never seen anyone alone. Ten years ago, from the case of the destruction of the German concession in Tianjin, to the serial assassination of congressmen last year, and the secret transaction with Xiao Xu, the motives were all related to the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, or the tomb beast. Considering that the coffin had fallen into the hands of the Assassins, had the file box, or the Chinese negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference, decided by the file box, become a new target?
"Ah Hai!"
Qin Beiyang called out his name, but Ah Hai shook his head and smiled: "You can call me Ah Hai, but in fact, I don't call Ah Hai, whatever you want to call it!" Qin Beiyang, nine years ago, in the Tianjin German Concession, I could have killed you. ”
"Did you really come to kill me that night?"
"No, we were ordered to save you! Take you away and fly high, so that you can get a new life! But you must kill your adoptive father while you are asleep, and then let the Qing court take the blame. ”
"On whose orders?"
Qin Beiyang suppressed the desire for revenge, and he must find out the secret before taking revenge.
"I can't break the rules of the Assassins."
Ah Hai's death-like eyes. Even if he was captured and subjected to the ten tortures of the Manchus, he would not be able to get secrets.
However, Qin Beiyang's brain turned rapidly, and according to the sentence "let the Qing court take the blame again", two points have been thought of -
The Assassins kidnapped the nine-year-old Qin Beiyang in order to let him practice the "Underground Palace Dao" and "Assassin Dao" in the "Heavenly Academy" since he was a child, so that he could help the Assassin group in the future to open the secret of the Qianling Tomb and the Tomb of the Son of Heaven - perhaps the Assassins already knew the secret that Qin Beiyang was born in the Tang Dynasty Necropolis in Bailuyuan. Ten years ago, if Qin Beiyang fell into the hands of the assassins and no longer recognized father and son, then the gravesmith clan would be cut off from descendants, as Daddy Qin Customs said, not only Emperor Guangxu's tomb beast could not be built, and China's emperor system that lasted for more than 2,000 years would be destroyed! And this group of assassins must have a bitter enmity with the Qing Dynasty!
Although the Qing Dynasty was still finished in a few years, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." "Who can predict the so-called history accurately?
"Second question: Why did you steal the file box?"
"I'm sorry, I still can't say."
"Ah Hai, although you have a vendetta against me for killing my mother, I also swore at the grave of my adoptive parents that I would sacrifice your head. Compared with your personal enmity with me, if you want to kill the Beiyang warlords and the royal councilors, I will not stop you. But please return the box in your hand to me and to China. The blood feud between you and me will have a chance to break it in the future! ”
Speaking of which, Qin Beiyang is benevolent and righteous!
Ah Hai was silent for a long time before he said, "You are really that person!" ”
"Who?"
