Chapter 253: The Fire
"Whether it's a bandit or not, not necessarily. However, the strength of these people is enough to reflect the word fierce. Li Mu looked around and said, "Today is destined to be chaotic, we have to go." ”
He Xingkong said on the side: "No, you can't go. ”
Li Mu glanced at him and did not answer. just said to Yi Fan and Shen Li: "You follow me." So saying, he took his dagger and walked towards the door.
Yi Fan glanced at He Xingkong, who was sitting on the ground, and said to him, "Let's care more about your master and young master." ”
As soon as he came out of the door of the courtyard of the guest room, Li Mu saw a burning attic. A fire has started and engulfed the entire attic. The heat wave came to his face, which made Li Mu's footsteps pause. "Let's go there!" Li Mu pointed to his left.
"Good...... You watch out behind you!" Shen Li saw a man in black on Li Mu's side and slashed at Li Mu. Fortunately, Li Mu was reminded and turned around in time to respond. The man in black failed in one move, and Li Mu had already made a counterattack. He pursued with a sword, stabbing the black-clothed man in front of the door. The man in black put the knife in a ring, protected his head and face, and separated Li Mu's sword.
However, at this time, Shen Li and Yi Fan both killed, Shen Li took the middle lane with a sword, and Yi Fan attacked the next three lanes very insidiously. Seeing this, Li Mu connected it with another sword, and then stabbed the door. In this way, the three of them are one, and they actually make moves at the same time.
The man in black was obviously difficult to resist, he desperately dodged Lu Yifan's sword, and raised his head to avoid the short sword in Li Mu's hand. However, there was only so much he could do. He was stabbed in the chest by Shen Li's sword.
"Drink!" The man in black was shocked all over, and burst out with a fierce true qi, shaking all three of them away.
Among the three Li Mu, Yi Fan's true qi is the strongest, followed by Li Mu, and next is Shen Li. So Shen Li was pushed the farthest, Li Mu sank down, and after finding that there was no result, he stretched out his legs and kicked Yi Fan's back.
Yi Fan borrowed his strength, coupled with his own strength, to resist the true qi that erupted from the man in black. Not only that, Yi Fanfeng slashed against the sword again, opening a deep opening in the chest of the man in black. The man in black clutched his chest and fell to the ground.
Yi Fan stepped forward to make up for a sword, which directly ended in the life of the man in black. "Damn, Li Mu, you dare to kick me. ”
Li Mu pulled Shen Li up and said, "I have to do it, go quickly." He pulled Shen Li and ran out.
The three of them ran out of the courtyard where the guest room was located and walked towards the gate. They don't know much about the pattern of Chai Mansion. In addition, at this time, there were fires everywhere in the Chai Mansion, and the hot smoke was diffuse, making it even more difficult to discern the direction. Li Mu could only tell as he walked.
On the way, the three of them also met the black-clothed people and the guards and doormen in the Chai Mansion fighting together, but they didn't help. The wind fuels the fire, and in addition to the fact that it is autumn again, the dry season, the fire in Chai Fu has a great tendency to burn everything without stopping.
Under such circumstances, Li Mu and the others just wanted to get out of this mess. They try to keep their voices low, trying not to be obtrusive. But even so, they will meet the man in black.
Li Mu and the three of them worked together to barely resist the sneak attack of this man in black, and the strength of this man in black was much higher than the two that Li Mu and the three of them repelled just now. Li Mu stepped forward to exchange injuries for injuries, and only by surprise did he send the man in black away.
The three of them left the burning attic, and had barely taken many steps. The corpse of a man in black fell in front of them, and on the body of the man in black, there were several sword marks. Li Mu looked up and saw Huang Dou standing on top of the eaves, holding a sword. His figure was lined with the stars sinking and the moon was gone, and the firelight was swaying. It makes the blood on the sword even more dazzling.
Li Mu saw Huang Dou, and Huang Dou also saw Li Mu. He had just killed someone, and his anger had not subsided. Even though Li Mu had eaten Huang Dou before, he had a steady psychological advantage, but at this moment, he was also shocked by Huang Dou's faint eyes, he looked at Huang Dou, and thought of a lone wolf holding a piece of bloody flesh in his mind for no reason.
Li Mu retracted his gaze and beckoned to Shen Li Yifan, "Let's go!"
Huang Dou frowned, and opened his mouth to stop Li Mu. However, he sensed something, turned abruptly, and stabbed a sword behind him. This sword was blocked by another sword. The sword that appeared at this time was held in the hand of another person. He was also dressed in black, but unlike the other men in black, he wore a pair of gloves on his hands.
There is a way for experts to know if there is one as soon as they make a move. As soon as the two swords touched, Huang Dou already knew that the man in black in front of him was by no means comparable to the man in black who was easily dismissed by him just now. This person's strength is actually on par with himself.
The man in black held the sword in front of him, his eyes staring fiercely at Huang Dou through the blade.
Huang Dou's face was also a little solemn, he pointed his sword at the man in black, and said, "Who are you? Tell me, I can leave you a way to live." ”
The man in black said in a deliberately lowered voice: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be in trouble." After saying this, he didn't give Huang Dou a chance to continue asking questions. He turned out to be the first to make a move, his body shook, a sword slashed, and a sword qi erupted. Huang Dou's brows furrowed even more, he pursed his lips, and greeted him with sword qi.
The two of them slashed out their sword qi in a similar posture, and the two sword qi collided together, exploding instantly. The tiles on the roof shattered into rubble of various sizes, which were swept away by the crosswind and scattered into a rain of stones, which fell between Huangdou and the man in black.
Huang Dou said with a serious face: "You don't use a sword. Who the hell are you?"
In the dark night, the man in black did not speak, but his gaze also became cold. He raised his sword again and slashed at Huang Dou.
Li Mu glanced back at the two people who were fighting, turned around and continued to flee outside the courtyard.
There were all kinds of noisy sounds in his ears, although the night was approaching, but such a big movement in Chai Mansion had already awakened the entire Yanxiang City. The fangding on night duty, the officials of the government, and the people who came spontaneously all poured towards the chaifu.
There are those who help catch bandits, and there are also those who help fight fires. The continuous fire in Chai Mansion has threatened the buildings next to Chai Mansion, and it is impossible to stop it with the spontaneous efforts of the people. Fortunately, the water dragon in Yanxiang City will carry the water cannon truck to the rescue. With their help, the fire was finally stopped.
In addition, among the people who came to Chai Mansion to attend the wedding banquet today, there are many people from the rivers and lakes. Chaifu's business is big, and naturally there are contacts between black and white. When they learned that someone was attacking Chaifu, they immediately rushed to help.
In short, the entire Yanxiang City became a mess because of this incident.
After a lot of fighting, Li Mu and the three of them avoided the fire, and finally found a chance to break out of Chai Mansion. Among the three, Li Mu held the power of the shark bead and opened the way in front. He suffered some external injuries on his body, and was also burned by the fire a few times, and his robe was charred and black.
Yi Fan was unlucky, and when he escaped the corridor, he was almost hit in the head by a pillar of fire falling overhead. Fortunately, he reacted and split the pillar of fire with a sword, but many sparks fell on his hair, scorching his already dense hair. However, Shen Li was under Li Mu's care, and it can be said that he was unharmed.
Li Mu and the three of them walked out of the Chai Mansion, and there was already a chaotic scene outside the door. Li Mu asked the two to follow, wanting to blend into the crowd and leave quickly.
However, at this moment, a loud bang was heard. A three-storey building in the Chai Mansion could not withstand the fire and completely collapsed. Li Mu, like the people around him, turned his head and looked back. Above that tall building, scattered among the ashes of Mars. Li Mu vaguely saw the shadow of a black chick, and disappeared in a flash.
"How could it be? Is that out of a god? Could it be that there will be a master of the god realm here?" Li Mu was shocked in his heart. He poked Yi Fan beside him and asked, "Yi Fan, have you seen it?"
Yi Fan also looked incredulous, "Mother, the master of the god realm is really so cheap, can he still do banditry?"
"What the hell is going on!" Shen Li sighed as he covered his face.
"Whatever happens, it's far beyond my perception and beyond our capabilities. Yi Fan touched the missing ring of hair on the top of his head and said calmly. For this sentence, Li Mu and Shen Li both thought so.
Li Mu said worriedly: "Don't worry about it, such a big thing happened, it's good that we can escape from the fire." I'm afraid this incident will alarm many people. I don't know if martial law will soon be imposed here. Who we are...... Gotta get out of here right away. I don't want this to happen in the small town again. ”
Li Mu's worry was right, just after the county magistrate was awakened by this news in his sleep, he immediately notified the county inspection and asked him to mobilize all the manpower to go to Chai Mansion to fight the fire and suppress the bandits. In addition, he also repaired a letter and asked the post to hurry up and go to the county government to seek support. After doing all this, he himself was still restless, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet in the backyard of the county government.
Under the rule of the Great Emperor, especially in the south, there were very few bandits and robbers. Suddenly, such a group of bandits who dared to swagger, rob houses, and set fire to houses suddenly appeared. The hard work of the magistrate to guard against thieves was all in vain. How can the county not be in a hurry?
However, it is useless to be in a hurry. The magistrate thought about it, and only by calming down this matter as soon as possible and turning the bad thing into a happy event could he keep the black veil on his head. If you can wipe out that gang of thieves, maybe you can make up for it.
When the entire Yanxiang City fell into chaos, Li Mu and the three escaped from Chai Mansion and then fled from Yanxiang City. When they reached the valley outside the city, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and Li Mu looked at the direction of Yanxiang City, and there was still firelight visible.
Li Mu said: "I hope those people in the Chai Mansion can escape the disaster." "I hope so, but ...... fire like that" Shen Li said halfway, she saw the fire last night.
Li Mu was still looking into the distance, and he was full of puzzlement. "Who the hell are those men in black?"
"I don't know who they are, but one thing is for sure, they're not good people. Yi Fan is still heartache for his hair. "Murder and arson, robbery. This is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
