Chapter 849: Fighting Wits and Courage to Leave the Seal (I)
In the middle of the night, the moon is hidden and the stars are scarce.
The huge city of Kaifeng has long been shrouded in darkness, and there are hardly any other figures except for the soldiers and horses that patrol by from time to time on the main streets.
But suddenly, from the shadows of a corner, a figure appeared, rapidly and covertly advancing under the cover of the night.
Not only was he quick and agile, but he was also extremely familiar with the terrain and roads of the city, and he also knew the route of the army well. Although it seems to be under siege, he can always avoid danger by moving and stopping, and quickly approach the east gate.
On a few occasions, he almost collided with an oncoming team. But at that moment, this man can always quickly escape into some dark alley next to him, so that the soldiers who patrol the night also pass by him.
And he will reappear again afterwards, continuing to move quickly and cautiously towards his destination.
It can be said that this person's nocturnal walk has almost exerted his abilities and the use of the environment to the extreme. If there is no accident, it will not be long before you can reach the east gate without danger.
Although there were also many soldiers and horses stationed there at this time, judging from his flexible and light body, it was not too difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of these ordinary soldiers, and the idea of going beyond the city wall.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that the accident has already happened.
As he emerged from the darkness, seemingly avoiding the heavy cruise, a pair of eyes were already condescending to him.
In the East Building, it has always been known as the "Falcon Marksmanship" in the Kaifeng Army.
The so-called magic archery means that he has a powerful archery skill that far surpasses all archers in the world, with a three-stone strong bow in his hand, and within two hundred steps, no target can dodge his feather arrows. This can be seen in his performance when he continuously wounded the enemy Savior during the assassination that day.
As for the falcon, it is praised for its strong eyesight, like an eagle falcon.
Two hundred steps away, you can see the slightest detail, and only then can you dare to say that the arrow is not missing. Even in such a dark night, as long as he observes with all his might, all the movements within a radius of one or two miles will not escape his eyes.
At this time, the east building is high on the highest Fenghua building in Kaifeng City, condescending, and a large area is included in the bottom of the eye. Even if it was just a small figure's movements, he easily grasped it, and followed it all the way, gaining insight into its whereabouts and purpose, and at the same time, he also felt the strength of this person's skills clearly.
"He wasn't one of the two assassins who assassinated the Metropolitan Governor in the first place, but he was also very skilled...... "After calmly making a judgment, Yu Donglou looked at Huo Jun beside him, "Brother Huo, do you think there will be any relationship between the two?" ”
"It's hard to say, follow along." After Huo Jun replied very cautiously, he had already quickly got up, and with another jump, the person had already jumped down from a high-rise building of more than ten zhang like a Dapeng bird.
After flicking his sleeves against the wind and gliding through the air like a bird for a while, he landed firmly on the roof somewhere below, and then ran straight ahead.
The whole action was carried out in one go, and it did not cause much movement, and even the soldiers and horses patrolling on the left did not notice his whereabouts, and continued to carry out the night patrol mechanically.
Seeing this, Yu Donglou only pursed his lips disdainfully, in terms of identity, he is indeed far from being able to compare to this guy. And his gaze had already chased the other party's figure straight to the east.
After only a cup of tea, Huo Jun had already followed the man's route and arrived near the east gate. Although his eyesight was not as good as Yu Donglou, he was in a high place, and he was willing to search, and in a flash, he found the guy who was cowering in the shadow of the wall, suddenly threw the hook, and went straight up along the rope.
It seems that this man really wants to leave the city.
Originally, he thought that this was a thief who was bold and wanted to take advantage of the dark night and high wind to steal, so he kept holding back.
But now it seems that he can't do it if he doesn't move. Otherwise, if you wait a little longer, this guy will go straight out of the wall.
Although he didn't look like one of the two assassins that day, it was hard to guarantee that he didn't deliberately do this, pretending to be a mediocre hand, so that he could fool himself and get out of the city smoothly!
Turning to this, Huo Jun suddenly lifted his breath and swept away, and in a few vertical jumps, he quickly came to the city wall.
Compared to the man who still needed to use the hook to get up to the wall, he was much more relaxed, and he only saw a few gaps and cracks in the wall, and then he jumped up again, and then used his hands and feet together, or kicked or picked, and the man had risen rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he had climbed up the wall.
It was only a moment before the guy had followed the rope up the wall, and he believed he would be able to stop him at the head of the city......
But just as he was full of confidence and turned over and fell, and was about to take advantage of the situation to find the other party's position, a strong wind had already hit him, and it was a steel knife that slashed head-on.
This time it was indeed a good time, it was when Huo Jun's old force had just gone to the new force, and he had not been wary of it in his heart. If you are an ordinary person, in the face of a sudden attack, you will inevitably suffer.
But for Huo Jun, this move was just a trivial matter, with a low snort in his nose, his body quickly deviated, and this seemingly ferocious attack was easily dodged. Then he reached out with one hand, already grabbing the wrist of the other man's knife-wielding right hand, and the other hand grabbed his throat.
The most earthy attack, but also the most effective. He believed that this move was enough to control the opponent easily......
"Who is coming...... " An exclamation suddenly broke the peace of the city, although the voice was broken because of Huo Jun's button, but it also made the situation here even more strange.
Moreover, this cry alone was enough, and as soon as the sound crossed the night sky, countless sounds rang out into one. Above the city, the torches were raised even more quickly, and then quickly converged towards this side.
This really made Huo Jun stunned, and he thought about many reactions that the other party should have, including hiding in the shadows just now and suddenly attacking him. But I just didn't expect that there would be such a change in front of me, and the other party would shout and scream, attracting the soldiers and horses of the entire city wall.
At night, especially in the middle of the night, the defense of the Kaifeng city wall is really not too tight, and most people are actually dozing off in the arrow tower and other places in the city.
However, that doesn't mean they're completely relaxed.
Especially when this sudden cry sounded, the entire eastern city wall, up and down thousands of people, moved almost at the same time, and hundreds of people directly outflanked and poured in, and under the lighting of the torches, almost illuminated the city as if it were day.
also made Huo Jun, who was clasping the person in front of him, see the other party's current appearance clearly, and then his expression also changed.
Of course, this person was not Sun Ning, he was just an ordinary-looking young man, and it was impossible for Huo Jun to be shocked.
What really surprised him was that the clothes that the other party was wearing at this time were exactly the same as the defenders of the city......
Some people died, but not completely......
