(4000) Volume 10, Chapter 62: Finally Falling into the Hands of the Enemy
September 19, early morning, Wuling County. Since Jiang Xiaoshu was escorted to Beijing on the 15th, the people of Wuling County have fallen into a state of panic, and on the 16th, the news of Jiang Xiaoshu's escape came, and the prefect of Wuling County, Zhou Zide, was furious and issued the highest wanted warrant to the whole of Xiangzhou, and the people discussed - even the prisoners who died are at large, is there no royal law in this world?
It was on this day that someone saw that the two red belts of the Jiang Yue Gang went to Wuling County, and there was a big battle with people at the Wuling County Inn, and a fire burned vigorously, leaving only the broken walls and corpses in one place, and the red belts of the Jiang Yue Gang and Sheng Yu Ash, who originally lived here, disappeared without a trace.
Some people are rumored that Jiang Xiaoshu returned to Wuling County, ambushed and killed the two red belts of Jiang Yue's gang in the inn, and set a fire at the end and walked away.
Of course, the prefect also heard this rumor, so he blocked the whole city and ordered that even if he dug three feet into the ground, Jiang Xiaoshu would be arrested to find out about the murder and arson case in the downtown area.
Bad news came one after another, and the people all hid at home, not even daring to breathe, for fear that they would be involved in the struggle between the government, the Jiang Yue Gang, and Jiang Xiaoshu, and finally end up miserable.
This morning, Brother Dulong, who had been dormant for many days, took people to the street and announced the supreme order of the leader of the Jiang Yue Gang, confirming the rumors that Jiang Xiaoshu had returned to Wuling County:
"Jiang Xiaoshu and his entourage have treacherously tore up the treaty, and from now on, our gang will immediately declare war on him, and they will not die." Countless men of the Jiang Yue Gang forcibly knocked on the doors of ordinary people and merchants, and searched for the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaoshu and his comrades.
And the officials in the government office, who had always adhered to the rules before, did not stop the behavior of the Jiang Yue Gang, but watched coldly from the sidelines after the Jiang Yue Gang knocked on the door, trying to take the opportunity to learn the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaoshu and his party.
The government and the Jiangyue Gang, who were originally incompatible, reached an inexplicable tacit understanding at this time because of their common enemies.
In the west of the city, Dulong brother Wang Yang is leading more than a dozen black belt masters, searching door to door, and two peers were attacked in his territory, which made him feel more stressed, so he had to be the first to find the murderer to make up for his previous failures.
In front of it is a dilapidated temple in disrepair, cobwebs are crossed, dust is everywhere, it doesn't look like a person, not to mention, someone in the government has searched before, but nothing has been found.
Brother Dulong swept past the ruined temple, and suddenly his nose moved. As a human tooth, he has a ability - whether there is a living person in a room or a cabin, he can judge with just a movement of his nose.
And he can clearly know whether the people inside are ordinary people, gangs, or others
"Fish". Surprisingly, Brother Dulong smelled it here
The smell of "fish" - soaked in sweat and blood, shortness of breath, almost unconscious. Brother Dulong frowned, then turned his head and said:
"Who's been in business again lately? Do you take my words as a fart? A black belt clenched his fists and bowed:
"Absolutely not, since you gave the order, we have gone up and down, and no one has started work, the fish boats and fish carts have been parked at the dock, and no one has moved......"
"!" Brother Dulong pointed to his nose:
"It's the most honest thing in the world, and it tells me there's a fish in this ruined temple." The two black belt masters were shocked and immediately rushed in, and then a voice came out:
"Brother Dulong! Someone, a man dressed in black, was covered in wounds and had two knives around him...... Yes! He's awake! The black belt master let out a miserable scream, and his voice stopped abruptly, Brother Dulong was suddenly startled, and waved his hand:
"Go and help." Six or seven more black belt masters jumped into the room, and then the sound of dense blades intersecting sounded in the room, and Brother Dulong hurriedly asked:
"Who's in there?" He couldn't help but be surprised by this - the one inside
"Fish" is obviously very aggrieved, who knows that he can hurt his black belt master, if he is unharmed, how powerful is it?
The clanging continued, and a shout came from inside:
"A good thief of the Jiang Yue Gang! I'll kill you all...... Uh-" The scolding man seemed to be injured, and the scolding stopped for a moment, then raised a few points:
"Wu Bai! Wang wei! You two brutes, do you dare to hide behind your back as a turtle with a shrunken head? Come on! Come here......" Brother Dulong heard this, and his heart moved-black, double swords, knowing Wu Bai and Wang Wei...... He hurriedly shouted inside:
"Catch it alive!"
"Yes!" The black belt masters in the house answered at the same time. The people in the house, naturally it is in the embers, his face is full of blood, his hair is scattered, in the face of the siege of nearly ten black belt masters, he shouted wildly, the knife dance is like splashing the wind, unfortunately, the injury on his body is too serious, and his spirit is extremely sluggish, even though the knife is fierce, but it can't last, and it has become a little scattered without three incense sticks...... Sheng Yu Ash's mind was muddy at this time, and his only thought was to wipe out all the enemies who came to attack, but how could those black belt masters let him get his wish, only guarding the door, and never letting him take advantage of it, Sheng Yu Ember attacked several times in a row, but only had new wounds on his body.
"Catch it alive!" Brother Dulong's voice came, and Sheng Yuyan's heart jumped violently - I must not fall into their hands.
So his knife technique changed again, and the moves were all introductory moves, slashing wildly at the black belt master in front of him, forcing the man to retreat again and again, and the rest of the black belt masters saw this, and immediately rushed to attack Sheng Yu's side and back of the heart, only to hear the popping sound constantly, blood splashing, and Sheng Yu's heart and ribs were already injured a lot.
But Sheng Yu Ember was as if he didn't realize it, his double knives flashed, and he just beckoned to the person in front of him, and when he was in the middle of the fight, he roared, and the two knives overlapped, and slashed straight down at the top of the person's head.
The man made a pair of handguards, originally short to long, already very difficult, and he is better at tossing and turning, against the onslaught of Sheng Yu Ember's hard bridge and hard horse, even if the turtle can't shrink, but it is still a huge pressure, and he is not lightly injured, he strictly guards the door, only defends and does not attack, only hopes that his companions will quickly take Sheng Yu Ash.
But Sheng Yu Ash's first knife fell, fast and fast, and the power was very strong, he knew that he would not be able to parry, and wanted to dodge to the side, but where was the body fast to pass the knife?
Fortunately, although Sheng Yuyan's knife is ruthless, it also exposes a huge empty door, and the back of the heart and even the front chest have revealed great flaws, and the other black belt masters around him are all accurate, how can they let go of this opportunity?
When Sheng Yushen's double knives stood up, they rushed in together, and they were bound to capture Sheng Yushen in this move. The handguard black belt is a master of the heart - fight with both hands to block your knife, you can't be fierce!
As soon as his mind moved, he had already made a move, only to see his body low, and then rushed towards Sheng Yu Ember like a spring, and the handguards in both hands were from the bottom up, making one
"Double Dragon into the Sea", spare no effort to meet the twin knives that are in full bloom in the embers. The swords intersected, but there was silence.
At this moment, the attack of the rest of the black belt masters also reached Sheng Yushen's body, but they felt that the blade was blocked, as if it had hit a stone, and when they looked at it, a layer of crimson had surged up on Sheng Yu's chest and arms, like weathered reefs on the seaside.
What's going on? The crumbling walls, which had fallen into disrepair for a long time, were shaken by the crash and were about to collapse.
At this moment, another figure followed closely, kicking the wall violently, with a loud click, the brick wall had collapsed, the dust was flying, and the gray smoke was scattered.
Sheng Yu Ember is gone. Everyone looked at the collapsed brick wall and couldn't help but wonder - how did he do it?
If you talk about the real strength, don't say that Sheng Yuyan is not lightly injured at this time, and his spirit is not light, even if he is completely unharmed, he is inferior to these many black belt masters, it stands to reason that in this cramped and ruined temple, he is besieged, and there is no possibility of sparing.
But if it is in the embers, how can it be idle? In Brother Dulong's sentence
By the time he "caught alive" exited, a near-perfect retreat plan had taken shape in his mind in an instant. Sheng Yu Ember had already calculated the retreat route when he attacked the master of the black belt with the gauntlet with his two knives, and he seemed to be slashing with his head, but in fact, above the two knives, he was extremely soft and mellow.
The one from the enemy's handguard
"Ssangyong into the sea", with all his strength, even if he is injured, he must resist slashing, where do you want to get this?
The handguard slammed into this soft cotton, sticky internal force, as if it had fallen into the air with all its strength.
The black belt master only felt a chill in his chest, as if his heart and lungs had been taken out at this moment, and he was immediately seriously injured, and involuntarily spurted out a mouthful of blood.
And when the swords intersected, Sheng Yu Ember had already turned into a drag, and the soft strength on the double knives stuck to the enemy's blades, and with all his strength, the hands of the handguard master were suddenly dislocated, and the person was also pulled over.
As for the pinch attack of the rest of the masters, Sheng Yu Ember had already planned in his heart - in the previous time, he always hid the fact that he would practice horizontally, allowing the other party to hurt himself, at this critical point, and then suddenly performed the horizontal practice kung fu on the parchment of the evil sect, in order to catch the live mouth, the attack did not come towards the vital point, and they all attacked Sheng Yu Ember on both arms, chest and back, and naturally collided with the horizontal practice of internal force flowing with all his strength, so they all failed to work.
Although after bearing these attacks, Sheng Yu Ember Dantian shook violently, his throat was sweet, and the horizontal practice had been broken, but at least the others had not fallen, but there was a gap in the opponent's attack, although this gap was extremely short, it was enough for Sheng Ember to implement the expected plan.
The handguard master hit the wall behind him, Sheng Yu Ember followed him like a shadow, and then made up for it, and finally broke a hole in the wall, and while the hole had just appeared, the whole wall had not collapsed, Sheng Yu Ember shrank up and drilled, and he had successfully evacuated, and then the whole wall just collapsed, blocking the pursuit of the rest of the black belt masters.
In this desperate situation, Sheng Yushen finally escaped death with extraordinary courage and powerful kung fu.
Drilling out of the ruined temple, Sheng Yu Ember rolled over, blood spilling from his mouth and nose, but he didn't dare to stay at all, and stumbled forward.
I don't know how long I ran, Sheng Yuyan felt that the scene in front of him was gradually blurred, the wounds on his body began to gradually get hot, and his brain became more and more unconscious.
This is the result of a recurrence of an old injury, combined with extreme mental exhaustion. Sheng Yu Ember was almost at the end of his crossbow, and no one knew what he had gone through to get hurt like this.
In fact, even Sheng Yu Ember himself could barely remember what had happened to him, the vicious fight in the broken temple had made his spirit and body reach the limit at the same time, he didn't have time to think about what happened before, and he didn't even have a clue how he could appear in this broken temple...... There was only one thought in his mind right now - I couldn't fall into the hands of Jiang Yue's gang, if they wanted to catch me, I would kill myself first.
But maybe he didn't even realize that he was only a hundred feet away from the ruined temple now, but in his heart, he had come far, far away.
His eyes can't see clearly, and even the road is almost unstable, in such a state, let alone avoiding the pursuit of the black belt master, even a farmer who doesn't know martial arts, give him a punch, he will fall immediately, and it is too late to even commit suicide.
Sheng Yushen could no longer stand on his own, he leaned against the wall and moved forward step by step, not noticing the group of people coming towards him.
When passing by, the leader of the group of people suddenly stretched out a jujube stick and swept it to the ground, Sheng Yu Ember was caught off guard, only to feel a pain in his shins, and fell down with a snap, the group of people rushed up and pressed Sheng Yu Ember, Sheng Yu Ember just wanted to struggle, but the back of his head was shocked, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted unwillingly...... The group of people who caught Sheng Yu Ember were just a team of ordinary officials in Wuling County, they looked for Jiang Xiaoshu for two or three days, but found nothing, and when they were worrying on the street, they heard a loud noise from the broken temple in the distance.
They dared to step forward to check, but they happened to see the weak Sheng Yuyan, as a major clue in Jiang Xiaoshu's case, Sheng Yuyan's whereabouts were also taken very seriously by Zhou Zide, and he ordered his subordinates to bring them back for trial after seeing them, so they distributed portraits of Sheng Yuyan, Xiaoyu, and Wang Jinwei to each of his subordinates.
Seeing Sheng Yu Ash, all the officials were naturally not happy, but Sheng Yu Ash was famous, where did they dare to arrest alone, after a short discussion, the small leader of the government officials put forward an idea - two people immediately reported to the prefect, and the rest of the people took the opportunity to approach Sheng Yu Ash, and grabbed it, if they could catch it, it was excellent, if they couldn't catch it, they immediately dispersed, shouting, thinking that in this city, the government and Jiang Yue were good at helping, Sheng Yu Ember in order to protect himself, naturally he would not bother to kill a few ordinary officials.
However, in this way, the credit for capturing Sheng Yuyan will inevitably fall into the hands of others, and it is not impossible to even be cut off by the Jiang Yue Gang.
Where did they think that as soon as they made a slight move, Sheng Yuyan fell to the ground like a waste person, and was easily caught.
The leader of the officials was overjoyed, and lifted Sheng Yu Ash:
"Haha, brothers, hurry back to the mansion, this is a great achievement!" All the officials applauded in unison, and were about to go to the government together, but when they turned around, they saw a black belt master standing in front of him expressionlessly.
The leader of the officials suddenly jumped in his heart and said loudly:
"How?" The black belt master took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms:
"People stayed, took the money and left." Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, the leader of the government couldn't help but feel angry:
"We caught it, why did you just give it to you if you said it?"
"I'll tell you why," a voice came from behind, and the officials turned their heads, but it was Brother Dulong, Brother Dulong raised his hand and pointed to the officials one by one:
"Your name is Ding Zhentong, you live in Dongxijiang Lane, and you have a wife and two sons; This red-faced friend lives in Yangjiaba, Beicheng, he is young, but he has not married a wife, but his father and mother are still alive; As for the one who grabbed Sheng Yu Ash, hissed...... It's called Lu Linsheng, right? He who lives in the government has no relatives and no reason in Wuling County, but his family is in Jinzhong Village, Li County, but I know this......" Brother Dulong finished talking about the family history of the officials one by one, and then pointed to Sheng Yu Ash:
"Friend Ding's words before were a little wrong, this person was injured by me before, and fled here, so you picked up a bargain and caught him, strictly speaking, he should be our Jiang Yue Gang...... Here is a hundred taels of silver tickets, thank you for your help, I hope you give me a face. All the officials looked miserable, and when they heard Brother Dulong say this, they were silent.
Brother Dulong smiled:
"Haha, friends, I see that you are all good men, and I really want to make friends. It would be great to visit with a gift one day...... I don't know if I, Wang Yang, have this honor? The head of the official twitched, and then gave his hand:
"It's our honor to make friends with Brother Dulong." In the end, he threw Sheng Yu Ember on the ground, took the silver ticket of the black belt master behind him, and left.
Sheng Yu Ember still fell into the hands of Jiang Yue's gang after all.
