Volume 1 The Land of Ashes Chapter 16 Urging Yama
Cao Shugong's voice was majestic, with surging anger.
As soon as the sound fell.
Wang Che's body trembled, a little flustered.
Chu Qingxiao was also heartbroken, and his face was ugly.
"Uncle Cao! How could I kill someone!? He hurriedly explained.
Cao Shugong was obviously unwilling to listen to Chu Qingxiao's defense, he had a cold face, and said loudly: "The corpse of the nursing courtyard is lying in the yamen!" If you hadn't killed anyone, then you should have gone with me, and when the time comes, you will have your own judgment on the merits. ”
Chu Qingxiao's brows furrowed, he naturally realized the unusualness of this.
The situation happened so suddenly that he didn't know how to solve it for a while.
But he also understands that if he is really brought back to the Yamen, he will definitely be more than lucky.
"My lord, I have here evidence to prove our innocence, and please take a look." And when he was still secretly thinking about the wording, Chu Zhaozhao on the side suddenly spoke.
Cao Shugong's brows furrowed, and he looked at the other party, Chu Zhaozhao also stepped forward at this time, and as he walked, one hand was still in his arms, as if he was about to take out something.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Chu Zhaozhao's actions, and at this moment, Chu Zhaozhao's steps suddenly accelerated.
I saw her come to Cao Shugong in a flash, and the hand in her arms stretched out at this time, which was not evidence of innocence, but a palm with a fierce momentum.
Everyone present obviously didn't expect this scene, Cao Shugong's heart was shocked, and he also saw that this girl's palm was fierce, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.
He placed the long knife across his chest, and the blade collided with Chu Zhaozhao's palm wind.
Chu Zhaozhao, who seemed to be unable to deal with the black armor, showed her strength as a disciple of Tianhang Mountain when facing Cao Shugong.
Hearing only a muffled sound, the long knife in Cao Shugong's hand trembled slightly, and a surging force surged down the sword body to her palm, and his body retreated a few steps.
Chu Qingxiao was also taken aback by Chu Zhaozhao who suddenly made a move, before he could come back to his senses, Chu Zhaozhao retreated to his side, stretched out one hand, put his hand on his shoulder, and shouted at Wang Che who was still stunned on the side: "Go!" ”
The girl said this, and before everyone could come to her senses, she ran quickly to the alley behind her.
……
Chu Qingxiao was supported by Chu Zhaozhao, running all the way, running for a long distance, before he reacted, and immediately asked loudly, "Are you crazy?" attacked the official of the imperial court, and ran away like this, won't you be at a loss for words when the time comes!? ”
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he glanced back at Chu Qingxiao, and was about to say something.
"Yes! That Uncle Cao is a head catcher, if we run away like this, they will think that we are absconding in fear of crime! Wang Che on the side also echoed.
Chu Zhaozhao glanced at the two of them: "I think you are stupid, right?" ”
"We didn't kill the black armor, but when it came to the mouth of the yamen, it turned into a corpse and was already placed in their mansion?"
"Why do you think that?"
Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che were both a little stunned, and they hadn't thought about how to respond, but they heard Chu Zhaozhao say.
"There are only two answers, one is that the people of the yamen have already colluded with Candle Yin and will harm us by any means."
"The second is that Candle Yin has controlled the upper echelons of the yamen, and has given these officials enough pressure to make them believe that we are murderers."
"And no matter which one of them is, as long as they are caught back, what awaits us is a dead end."
"But Uncle Cao is an upright person, and his friendship with my father is not bad......" Chu Qingxiao had something to say.
But he was still interrupted again by Chu Zhaozhao: "Even if the Cao Zhutou in your mouth is an upright person, have you forgotten the Lord Zhu you attacked before?" ”
"If he is really pretending to be a candle yin witch, and now he holds real power in this Wuling City, if he is arrested and returned to the Yamen, do you think under his pressure, can Cao Zhutou keep you and me?"
Chu Qingxiao was not stupid, but he had never encountered such a thing, and he panicked for a while, and at this moment, when Chu Zhaozhao said this, he also came back to his senses.
"That's the truth, but if we escape like this, it's even more difficult to argue, I'm afraid that we will not be able to move an inch in this Wuling City, and it will also implicate my father and my uncle......"
"yes, what if they embarrass my father?" Wang Che also muttered with a sad face.
Compared with Chu Zhaozhao, who was only thinking about unlocking the secrets of Wuling City, Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che obviously had more concerns.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao's heart softened, and he said with relief: "Today's Wuling City has already penetrated with candle shade. ”
"All of them, in a sense, are captives of Candle Yin, and only if they really unlock the secrets of Wuling City."
"I saved them!"
Chu Qingxiao was silent for a while, but finally recognized Chu Zhaozhao's logic, and he nodded.
On the side, Wang Che had a complicated expression, he looked at Chu Qingxiao, gritted his teeth, and plucked up his courage as if he wanted to say something.
Clang!
Clang!
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of dull footsteps on both sides of the alley.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they looked sideways in the direction where the voice came from, but saw several figures slowly walking out of the dark corners of the alley.
Their steps were heavy, and every time the iron boots landed, there was a dull sound that echoed through the alleys.
They cut through the darkness and revealed what they were.
It was a group of guys wrapped in black armor, tall and tall, with a fierce light flashing in the eyes behind the black iron mask.
With their appearance, in the gloomy alleys, murderous machines surged.
It's Black Armor!
The three of them who had seen the terrifying combat power of the black armor were suddenly like a great enemy.
"Let's go!" Chu Zhaozhao came back to his senses and shouted loudly.
Wang Che and Chu Qingxiao also reacted, and the two reached out to support Chu Qingxiao, who was injured in the ankle, and hurriedly fled towards the other end of the alley.
A cold cold light flashed in the black armor eyes of the leader, and one of his hands trembled slightly, and a scimitar fell out of the armor.
I saw him throw it with all his might, and the scimitar cut a cold cold light, whistling and flying towards the three of them.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he looked back and saw that the scimitar had arrived in front of him.
"Be careful!" She said loudly and pressed Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che's heads down.
The scimitar flew past Wang Che's scalp and cut off a strand of green silk.
Wang Che's soul was furious, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Don't be in a daze!" Chu Zhaozhao said again.
dragged the two of them to escape from the alley quickly.
The three of them supported each other and fled all the way through the narrow alley.
But Chu Qingxiao's injured ankle always made it impossible for the three of them to speed up.
It was dark, and there were few people in the alleys.
Behind him, the dull footsteps of the black armor echoed like nightmares.
Not in a hurry.
It's like a gong and drum urging impermanence, no matter how far you flee to the ends of the earth, it will always ring in your ears.
It was like driving a boat in a dark sea.
Behind him was a huge wave, but in front of him was an endless ocean.
You can't see where the shore is, but you can't turn back, you can't stop.
I could only keep paddling the oars until I was exhausted, until I was swallowed by the waves.
The inner torment is far more overwhelming than the physical exertion.
The three of them ran for a long time, especially Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che, who were a little exhausted.
And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the alley in front of him.
When the three of them looked up, a lively street appeared at the entrance of the alley.
"They may not dare to commit murder in the city." Chu Qingxiao's eyes lit up and he said.
Chu Zhaozhao and the others were also shocked when they heard this, obviously agreeing with Chu Qingxiao's speculation.
They quickened their pace and ran towards the entrance of the alley.
But I don't know if I was too tired, or after seeing hope, my tense heartstrings relaxed.
In a place only one step away from the entrance of the alley, Wang Che, who was holding Chu Qingxiao, suddenly slipped under his feet, his body staggered, and fell to the ground, and Chu Qingxiao's body fell to the ground immediately.
Chu Zhaozhao has cultivation in his body, but he has stabilized his figure.
She reached out to the two of them, trying to lift them up and continue their escape.
But as soon as his hand was stretched out, there was a piercing sound of breaking the sky behind him.
Chu Zhaozhao looked back, but it was the scimitar that flew again.
She didn't dare to be careless, and her outstretched hand turned into a palm, slapping Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che back, and at the same time, she pointed her toes on the ground and withdrew a few steps.
The scimitar suddenly pierced through the gap between the two sides and slammed into the ground.
The ground made of bluestone slabs suddenly lifted up the stones, cutting a hole in Chu Zhaozhao's side face.
But the scimitar was inserted into the stone slab, and it was divided into the wood.
The three of them were shocked, and they all looked at the scimitar that was close at hand, and they were a little afraid.
Boom.
Boom.
At this moment, the footsteps behind them like Yama's urging came again, and the three of them looked up, only to see that in the darkness deep in the alley, an iron boot stepped through the darkness and walked slowly.
The figure like a demon god, with a suffocating sense of oppression.
He lowered his head to look at the three people on the ground, his eyes behind the black iron mask shining with a cold light.
The three of them simply didn't have the courage to fight against them.
They hurriedly got up and fled out of the alley in confusion and came to the crowded street.
The hustle and bustle of the streets made the trio feel as if they were in two worlds, and the fireworks seemed to give them some courage to look back at the alley.
But to their disappointment, the crowd did not stop the Black Armor from moving forward.
They still walked towards them, step by step.
Boom.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the blacknails stepped into the street.
They did not shy away from it, but stood straight in front of Chu Qingxiao and the others.
At this moment, the arm also stretched out, and with a slight tremble, a scimitar with a shiny handle fell out of the armor and was held in their hands.
This scene of slaughter made the people on the street stunned and gathered around.
"They...... They're going to do it in the streets! Hurry up and report to the police! Chu Qingxiao looked at the people around him and shouted loudly, trying to find everyone's help.
Wang Che on the side also hurriedly said: "They are candle yin!" It's a monster! has been lurking in the Zhu family's compound! Go find my daddy! Let him bring someone! ”
"I'm Wang Che! Wang Dagui's son! ”
The people around looked directly at the two people calling for help, not panicked as they imagined, but very calm......
It's almost cold.
"Can't you see? They're going to kill us! Report to the officer! Wang Che panicked, pointed to the black armor that was walking slowly, and said loudly again.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then whispers could be heard......
"Isn't this Chu Qingxiao and that Wang Che?"
"Do they dare to come to the city? Don't you know that the wanted warrants for their murder have been plastered all over the city? ”
"It's really vicious, breaking into someone else's yard in the middle of the night, and if you can't steal it, you will kill someone's home!"
"Yes, I heard that the Zhu family was returned from a certain prince of the imperial court to return to his hometown, and our Wuling City has enough to build a school and Jishi Hall these days, but the prince of the Zhu family is behind the investment."
"It's just that the big guys don't like these false names, and it only broke out because of this incident."
"Behold, they either go to steal or kill......"
"Yes, one is a rich and unkind son, and the other is a madman who is haunted by evil, these two people are together, what can't they do?"
"Now I've been caught, I know I'm scared, but it's a pity it's too late......"
