Chapter 434: Instant Kill
Ran Yan hid behind a tree and saw them quickly surround the field.
"Bold, you 100 people enter the palace at night, do you have a token?" As soon as the words of the Yulin Wei Zhonglang came out, the 'squire' guards drew their long knives one after another, ready to meet the enemy.
"Put away your weapons, ladies and ladies are of noble status, I don't want to hurt anyone by mistake." A slow voice came out.
A man in a red 'colored' official uniform walked out of the crowd slowly.
He just turned his back to Ran Yan, and he couldn't see who it was, but he heard that Yu Lin Wei Zhonglang exclaimed, "Xiangyang County Prince!" β
Ran Yan was also shocked in his heart, Du He, the commander of the horses, was the second son of Du Ruhui, married the princess of Chengyang, and gave him the title of Duke of Xiangyang! Ran Yan vaguely remembered that he once saw a sentence in a certain historical book that Du He said to Li Chengqian, Ran Yan didn't remember what the original words were, and the general meaning of the content was: I have found someone to calculate, and now it is the time for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne and His Majesty to be the emperor.
This is a blatant attempt to provoke Li Chengqian to rebel.
Ran Yan felt that his guess had become a fact.
"Please also ask General Zhonglang to order his men to put away their weapons." Du He stared coldly at General Yulin Weizhonglang, raised his hand slightly, and the 'attendant' guards around him were wound, but they were aimed at the 'women' in the screen.
The distance between these people and Yu Linwei is less than two zhang, but Yu Linwei rushed over, they definitely have time to 'shoot' at least one arrow, who can guarantee that these arrows 'shoot' into it will not kill or injure a few mothers and ladies? Therefore, Yu Linwei did not dare to act rashly, but without the order of his superiors, no one dared to put down his weapons.
Ran Yan clutched her skirt tightly, and the three children were still inside!
"Woo-"
Ran Yan was quickly trying to figure out a way, when he suddenly heard a muffled snort behind him.
She subconsciously glanced back, and through the sparse residual leaves, she saw two men in black tightly covering the mouths of the two and a half children and dragging them to the wrong place. Ran Yan can't even take care of his own children now, and he doesn't want to be nosy at all, but at a glance, he just happened to look at a pair of peach 'flower' eyes.
It's Wu Meiniang!
Today's Wu Meiniang is just a small talent, and her appearance in this palace full of beauties is not the most beautiful, and she has no illustrious background and thousands of favors, no one should target her, and if she is caught, she must have suffered from the pond fish. Ran Yan Shen 'groaned' The man in black is aimed atΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Li Zhi!
Suddenly, Ran Yan's heart was cold, Li Chengqian rebelled in advance, if Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang died again, what would happen in the future?
The unknown is scary, but the most alarming thing is that the known is about to become unknown!
Ran Yan turned around and saw that all the ladies in the screen had already gotten up, they protected the child and the 'girl' who had no power to tie the 'chicken' in the middle, and some of the people standing on the periphery were already gray-haired, but the body was full of momentum washed out of the blood.
After a long confrontation, Habayashi Nakaro sweated on his forehead, and he weighed it, these people must have rebelled, and they must have wanted to hijack the 'women' people to threaten the officials, and if there would be anything for a while, he said, "Put down your arms." β
"Who dares to put down their weapons!" Yu Linwei was about to put the knife on the ground, and an old voice in the screen said angrily, "The old body wants to take a closer look today, which one of the bad people has the face to put down his weapon!" β
The sound of crutches hitting the floor made everyone's hearts tighten.
Ran Yan followed the voice and looked at it, but saw that the person who spoke was none other than the old lady Li of the Zheng Mansion - the one who was the staff and military advisor of Princess Pingyang back then. And the old 'women' standing beside her also crawled out of the battlefield.
Wei Guifei raised her voice and said, "The rebels want to take us as hostages, and you, as the 'women' of the Tang Dynasty, what you have to do is not to drag your husband back, and this palace will live and die with you!" β
Wei Guifei took a step forward and stood on the periphery.
No one echoed it, because this is the consensus of all the 'women' of life, and the 'female' son of Datang is a 'female' son with blood 'sex'.
"Duhe, are you really rebelling!?" An old woman in her fifties stared at him deadly, as if she wanted to peel his skin and 'cramp' him, "You son of a! β
She stepped forward and said coldly, "Since you have done such a rebellious thing as rebellion, why don't you 'shoot' me with an arrow and kill your old mother!" β
This 'woman' was Duhe's mother.
Ran Yan looked at the slaughter in the arena, and knew that he had to make a choice now, in fact, the only rational choice, which was to save Wu Meiniang immediately.
In the current situation, the rebels can break into the 'flower' garden, which means that they have basically controlled the palace, and even if she rushes out on her own, she can't save everything, at most she just adds a hostage to the enemy. The ladies present are full of brave and strategists, so be calm...
Ran Yan said secretly, ladies, my son will be 'handed over' to you!
She gritted her teeth, lifted the hem of her skirt, and quietly retreated from the path with her waist bent, chasing in the direction of Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi who were kidnapped by the man in black just now.
Ran Yan was afraid that the two black-clothed men would drag Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi to a nearby corner, so he didn't dare to chase too quickly, so he could only hide himself while paying attention to the surrounding movements.
Fortunately, the fallen leaves on the ground will be swept every few hours in the palace so that there will be no sound, Ran Yan looked down and saw that the stone road in front of her had been interrupted, and it was connected to a wooden bridge, she hesitated for a moment and walked carefully inside.
The fallen leaves in the water 'swinged' in circles, and the surroundings were quiet as if there was no living thing.
"Wait!" Wu Meiniang's voice suddenly came from inside the house, "I am a person under King Wu!" The life of the Nine Emperor Princes, our prince wants it, no matter who you send it, there is only one way to die against our prince! β
Ran Yan held his breath, his footsteps did not stop, and he approached gently.
When he was about to walk to the porch, Ran Yan raised half of his feet and stopped, but in time there were two somewhat rotten wooden planks in front of him, which showed that this place was usually a remote place, and no one had renovated it.
One step would definitely be able to step over these two planks, even if she stepped over it, she would make a sound.
Ran Yan frowned, and took out a small red 'colored' porcelain vase from his sleeve in case of emergency. She took a step and praised the two planks, making a slight noise, and Ran Yan hurriedly stepped the other foot over.
After that, he did not rush forward, but immediately squatted down and fell to the ground.
When the people in the house heard the sound, they looked out through the window, but they saw no one.
Fang Cai's voice was extremely small and short, so Ran Yan guessed that even if ordinary people were masters, it should not be easy to tell where it came from. Ran Yan crouched under the porch, this is a blind spot in the house, as long as they don't open the 'door', they won't find her.
Ran Yan 'touched' another blue bottle from his sleeve, slowly poured the liquid inside down the crack of the 'door', and then took a 'medicine' pill himself.
This kind of 'fan' 'medicine' will exert its 'medicine' effect in less than half a cup of tea when it comes into contact with the air, and it has been used once before when dealing with Ran Mei's 'jade', and the effect is not bad, this is a later improved version, and it should be even stronger. But no matter how strong it is, the space in the house is so large, it may not be able to 'stun' the two of them.
Ran Yan lay on the ground and listened to the movement inside.
"Since they are all going to kill the Nine Emperor Princes, who kills them is different." A gruff voice whispered.
With a sound of breaking the sky, Ran Yan was startled in his heart, and he was about to rush in, and then he heard a pop and a muffled snort with Li Zhi.
Wu Meiniang said, "We want to get something from the Nine Emperors, before that, if you kill him, you will be against our prince!" β
"Big brother, something is wrong." Another voice said.
Ran Yan knew that the effect of the 'medicine' had begun to attack, but it had not yet reached its peak, and she rushed out at this time, I am afraid that she was not the opponent of the two strong men.
"Help! Help me! Wu Meiniang suddenly shouted at the top of her throat.
Ran Yan knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and the two of them must have learned that they had discovered the clue and planned to kill someone first. She hurriedly got up, but tripped over the corner of her skirt, and in a hurry, she quickly tore off the layers of coats and kicked open the 'door' of the room.
The people inside were stunned by the sudden loud noise and paused for two breaths, dust was flying everywhere, Ran Yan had the light on his back, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women for a while.
Taking advantage of this pause, Ran Yan raised his hand and took out a silver needle from his hair bun and clamped it in his hand, squinting his eyes to see the situation in the room clearly. Li Zhi was tied firmly, his mouth was plugged, Wu Meiniang just had her hands tied behind her back, her feet were simply tied, and she was lying on Li Zhi and preparing to block the knife of the man in black for him.
The black-clothed man who wielded the knife reacted, and the knife was about to fall, and between the lightning and flint, Ran Yan flew violently and pounced.
Not long after the black-clothed talent was hit by the 'fan' and 'drug', although he still had a lot of strength, he was pounced on by Ran Yan, and the knife narrowly wiped Wu Meiniang's hair bun.
Seeing this, the man in black next to him did not come over to save him, but went on to kill Li Zhi.
The man in black who was pounced on by Ran Yan staggered, and she took the opportunity to stab the silver needle into the upper left abdomen, the spleen area under the soft underbelly.
"Hmm!" The man in black snorted.
Ran Yan's position was very 'fine', but because of the thick clothing, it was inconvenient to exert force, so she only pierced a little bit, and she felt that she was afraid that she would only puncture the skin. Without much thought, he raised his knee and slammed it into his crotch, and before the man in black could scream in pain, he was grabbed by the collar and pushed his companion's knife.
The blade of the other man in black was almost close to Li Zhi's face, and when he suddenly saw his companion being pushed over, he was shocked and forcibly put away the knife.
Ran Yan snatched the knife that knocked down the man in black, pressed his knee against his back, grabbed his hair and lifted his head up, and wiped his neck without hesitation.
Suddenly, blood spurted out like a fountain.
Ran Yan was behind him, and only a small amount of blood was splashed on his snow-white middle coat.
This time, she cut the major artery and throat in black clothes together.
In addition, the man in black was shocked by the current situation, not surprised by Ran Yan's killing methods, but never expected that a weak 'girl' would be able to kill his brother who was not low in martial arts in the blink of an eye. At this time, the strength in his body was also losing a little.
He gritted his teeth and slashed his palm on the blade, trying to cheer himself up with pain.
Ran Yan held the knife and got up to face the man in black, and slowly retreated towards Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.
When she was outside, Ran Yan had already made a rough plan in her heart, that is, she must seize the opportunity to kill one first, otherwise, this would probably be where she died. So just entered the 'door', observed the situation in the house in the dust, and immediately chose to pounce on the black-clothed man who was wielding a knife, every movement was full of the strength of the whole body, without the slightest hesitation She knew that she was unexpected, unprepared, and quick and accurate, so that she could have a chance to kill the enemy, and now she was facing each other openly with a knife, even if the other party was heavy with 'fan' and 'medicine', she was not sure that she could win, after all, they were people with martial arts.
Wu Meiniang stared at Ran Yan in a daze, she was lying on Li Zhi before, and she didn't see the whole process of Ran Yan defeating her opponent, but she saw the last knife clearly. She trembled slightly, but what she felt in her heart was not fear, but as if something sleeping in her body had been awakened, which made her inexplicably 'excited'. A faint shape formed deep in her heart, Wu Meiniang would not realize this at this time, this kind of thing is called ambition. The ambition to wield the power of life and death.
The man in black felt that he couldn't consume it any longer, he felt that the 'psychedelic' hallucinatory 'medicine' in him was different from every previous time, it would not be 'forced' out by luck, or relieved by inhaling fresh air, but the longer it passed, the more violent the 'medicine' became.
The thought flashed, and the man in black stepped forward, and the knife in his hand slashed towards Ran Yan's abdomen like lightning.
Ran Yan didn't have time to dodge, and he counter-shot with the knife in his hand to block.
Bite!
The blades struck, and the back of Ran Yan's knife was pressed against the abdomen, almost embedded in the 'meat'.
Ran Yan was horrified in her heart, with such strength, she didn't know how long she could withstand it, all the guards of the Lin De Hall were concentrated in the main hall and the 'flower' garden, and there was no possibility of saving the soldiers at all.
Ruyu hundred officials were surrounded in the main hall, and the storage position was quelled, otherwise Xiao Song's chances of coming out were not very good, since there were no reinforcements, he could only save himself.
In an instant, the shadow of the knife came, and the man in black used the knife very quickly, and Ran Yan didn't have time to dodge at all, so he could only take it again.
This time the force was even greater than the last time, Ran Yan's tiger mouth was in sharp pain, and she felt a hot liquid flowing out, but she didn't dare to look down.
It is said that the best defense is offense, which refers to when the gap in strength between each other is not particularly large. There is a huge disparity in strength between Ran Yan and the man in black, if Ran Yan can't find a chance to kill the other party in an instant like just now, and attack directly stupidly, she will definitely be full of flaws, maybe she will be killed in an instant.
In the current situation, Ran Yan can only defend himself impermeably and suffer to the highest point of the 'medicine' effect.
But the situation does not seem to be optimistic, the space in this house is huge, and it is difficult to say how much 'medicine' the man in black has sucked. If the man in black didn't inhale much 'medicine', it was entirely possible for him to rely on his willpower to persevere until she 'revealed' her flaws.
As it stands, the process won't be too long.
The man in black didn't give himself and Ran Yan a chance to breathe, and then a fierce attack like a storm followed.
Ran Yan only knew a little about taekwondo, how could he ever encounter such a swift and fierce attack? After a reluctant response, Ran Yan had already scratched a lot of blood marks on her body, and the blood stained quickly bloomed many scarlet 'flowers' on the white 'colored' placket, but fortunately, she protected the vital points.
The blood flowing from the tiger's mouth made the handle slippery and greasy, and there was a danger that it could fall off at any time.
Li Zhi had already fainted in fright, and Wu Meiniang was weak, but seeing that Ran Yan was struggling to support herself, she also insisted on moving to the side and kept grinding the rope. She bit her 'lips' ruthlessly, the sharp pain made her mind have a momentary situation, and the strength seemed to come back some, she was happy in her heart, and continued to grind the rope busily.
And Ran Yan gasped heavily, with more than ten deep and shallow wounds up and down.
