XXXI. Reversal
The situation is critical, Feng Mu and the others are completely passive, and Jing Lang is even more dead. When the order to kill the hostages was issued, how could Zhong Ming's subordinates dare not carry it out? But the rough-skinned Jing Lang would not sit still, his whole body was bruised, and he tried his best to break free from the restraints on his body.
At the last moment, the emperor roared with a lion roar, and his eyes glared angrily. He felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were flowing backwards, and his two eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
At that moment, Zhong Ming and his subordinates stood there completely motionless like puppets as if their souls had been withdrawn.
Jing Lang suddenly felt that the restraints on his body were gone, he broke free suddenly, and then picked up the double hammer on the table with lightning speed, and killed Zhong Ming's subordinates. Seeing this, Feng Mu and Jing Xiangyao hurriedly picked up their swords and stepped forward to cover Jing Lang's breakthrough.
And this Zhong Ming and the others have already sobered up a little, they instinctively block Jing Lang, but their speed and strength are still not in the state at all.
In a matter of moments, Jing Lang had already fought his way out of the encirclement. Ignoring the fight, the four of them took advantage of the chaos to leave the room, and then jumped off the railing on the second floor with an arrow. By the time they reached the center of the hall, the crowd had moved out of the way. The four of them got out of the inn, and they couldn't tell which direction it was, so they just ran into the night.
After running for two or three miles, making sure that Zhong Ming and the others did not catch up, the four of them stopped running.
Zhong Ming's strength should be far above the four of them, and his subordinates are not idle. The Red Lian Sect can entrench the Demon Disk, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Jing Lang, who had just escaped, patted his chest and said, "It's too dangerous, I still underestimate them." ”
Feng Mu knocked Jing Lang on the back of the head hard: "Call you so reckless." ”
Jing Xiangyao also slapped Jing Lang on the back of the head: "Brother, it really scared me to death, I thought you would really be killed by them, I almost cried." I think that we have very little experience in the rivers and lakes, and it is better to be cautious in the future. ”
Jing Lang agreed with a big grin, and then asked, "What happened just now? They want to kill me, my mind is blank, so I don't know anything, do you know, what happened?"
Feng Mu grabbed Huangfu Changjun's shoulder: "I'm going to ask him about this." Jing Lang, you can escape this time, but you have to thank Brother Huangfu. By the way, Emperor Fu Changjun, what kind of exercise did you just use, it's too powerful. I think they seem to have a brain short-circuit, and they are completely shocked by you. ”
Huangfu Changjun didn't know why: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I didn't know what happened. All I know is that I was angry, nervous, anxious, and I probably just reacted instinctively and violently, and then my whole body seemed to be flowing backwards. And then it happened. As for why they suddenly became stupid, I don't understand. ”
Feng Mu gave a thumbs up: "No matter what the reason, this is the potential of your own existence." I believe that the mentors of Zhuo Zongyuan will help you develop it. ”
Huangfu Changjun snorted slightly, noncommittal.
The night was too dark, and the four of them looked for a while before they figured out the direction of the Tongzhou Mansion with a sign on the road. After the battle just now, not only was he completely sleepy, but he was more energetic. So this will definitely not have to rest,
Thinking about the red practice, he rarely kills people and oversells goods, and does some deceptive and domineering things. Even if you steal, you only steal the contents of your luggage, not your personal belongings. On the surface, it is cautious, but in fact it has violated the interests of those in power.
The Demon Disc is considered the territory of the Red Lian Sect, but the Red Lian Sect does not seem to be satisfied, at the junction of the Demon Disc and the same state, the Red Lian Sect also has to intervene horizontally. However, Tongzhou is the location of the Zhuo Sect, and there are many masters, and Tongzhou is close to Haochang, on the side of the couch, how can you be allowed to come and rob?
What's more, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and sooner or later.
When the morning light was slightly dewed, Feng Mu and his party finally saw the towering city wall. The city wall is 50 meters high, and there are two big characters "Tongzhou" on it, and there are two smaller characters under the two big characters, and the book is "West Gate".
It is said that there are two city walls in the same state capital, and this one should be the outer city wall of the same state capital. The majestic spirit of the Tongzhou city wall alone is enough to shock some people with evil intentions.
Today is August 7, 993 in the Dragon Rain Calendar of the Scorched Earth Continent, and there are still two days left before the recruitment of Zhuo Zongyuan. Probably in order to ensure the smooth progress of the exam, a curfew was imposed on the state capital. And Feng Mu and the others arrived too early, and now the city gate has not been opened.
I had no choice but to wait outside the city first. The destination has arrived, Feng Mu and the others' tense nerves relaxed, and at this time they only felt tired and sleepy, and they couldn't wait to fall to the ground and fall asleep.
Jing Lang wanted to lean against the city wall, but it was difficult to find a place to accommodate him. Because, there are also many people waiting for the door to open outside the city like them, among which there are many merchants, and there are also a considerable number of young men, it is estimated that they should also come to Zhuo Zongyuan to take the exam. Most of these teenagers still have childish faces, some of them are alone, some are in groups of threes and fives, and some are accompanied by adults. And those adults who accompanied them, some of them looked like parents, like housekeepers, and like masters, in short, such a formation invisibly added pressure to Feng Mu and others.
The guards of Tongzhou City did not let everyone wait too long, and opened the city gate after fifteen minutes. The guards stood on both sides of the city gates, one by one to check on the people entering the city. Horses, carriages, carts, burdens, parcels, boxes, buckets, all of which were inspected, and some of the people who did not look so kind were even searched by the guards.
Indeed, the recruitment of Zhuo Zongyuan can be regarded as a major event in the same state capital or even in the central country, so it is understandable to be cautious.
Feng Mu and his entourage lined up in a row and passed through the guards' interrogation one by one. When entering the city, Feng Mu touched the gate of Tongzhou City, which was made of thick iron and painted red, and the city gate was divided into two doors, each of which was probably weighing a thousand catties.
Walking into the city gate, the road under your feet is more than twice as wide as the road in Lingchuan City, and the view is very broad, and the houses in the city are taller and bigger than Lingchuan.
On both sides of the street, a variety of shops are lined up. There are clothing shops, restaurants, inns, restaurants, tea houses, all kinds, and there are also places that are different from other cities, so there are relatively many weapon shops and medicine shops here. It's not surprising to think about it, after all, Zhuo Zongyuan is here.
The four of them didn't have much of an eye to appreciate the city, and they urgently needed to find a place to rest now. At this time, most of the shops in the city are not open, except for inns.
