Chapter 1146: Nightfall
Two groups of people approached at the same time, Su Ai pretended not to see, and suddenly turned around, ready to use the narrow knife that Gu Shenwei lent him.
He didn't stab out, but held the scabbard, rushed forward with the handle of the knife, and handed it to a tall man beside him, the man subconsciously took the knife, inexplicably, and was about to ask, Su Ai used both hands to push the man to the nearest killer, and shouted in a voice that resounded through the entire street: "People from the Western Regions! Killer! You are a killer!"
The man was holding the narrow knife, completely frightened, until the people around him retreated in panic, he reacted and threw away the narrow knife, "I, I'm not from the Western Regions......"
But the argument is useless, the whole street is in chaos, the news of the killer in the Western Regions killing people in the palace is hanging over the whole city, the street talk is all about this, most pedestrians don't even see the appearance of the narrow knife and the person with the knife, the first thing is to run away.
The crowd was crowded, and I don't know how many unlucky people were knocked down, and no matter how high the martial arts were, it was difficult for people to withdraw from it.
Su Ai took one last glance at the narrow knife, got into the crowd, and fled downstream, he could only give up the knife, as for how to explain to Gu Shenwei, he could only talk about it afterwards.
He had been running three blocks before he slowly stopped with the slowing crowd, and a group of soldiers and men were riding to the accident site, and everyone asked the same question: "What's going on?"
"The people of the Western Regions are doing it again!" Although it was not far away, the news had already begun to distort.
Su Ai regretted that the innocent person would not be harmed, and hoped that his actions would not have much impact on Biyu Kingdom.
There was no one chasing after him, he escaped, Su Ai let out a breath, thinking that it was no wonder that the head of the sect let himself follow Gu Gongzi, it had only been a few days, he had already encountered several life and death crises, and he had killed a person with his own hands underwater, all of which were unprecedented experiences.
This is different from war, where everyone on the battlefield is in a killing environment, no one is unaffected, swords, blood, shouts, etc., all of them are natural, and even the weakest and most merciful people will slash and stab at all costs.
But in the crowd, even an ordinary narrow knife looked hideous and full of danger, let alone killing.
Su Ai was both excited and nervous, turned around several times, and finally made sure that no one was following behind him, so he walked quickly towards the city gate, he had to report the news to Gu Shenwei as soon as possible: The killer of the Western Regions was hiding in the city and settled in the official staff's bureau.
Although the killers are likely to be transferred, the Staff Bureau is a strange place, what does this always mean, he can't figure it out, I believe Gu Gongzi will definitely be able to understand it.
The city gate was in sight, and Su Ai was attacked at this time, the man was dressed in ordinary clothes, running in small steps, as if there was some urgency, and there was no difference between him and the merchants and servants in the city.
Su Ai was completely defenseless against him.
Just as he was about to pass by, Su Ai felt a strong sense of vigilance.
His heart suddenly lifted, and a chill rose from the left side of his lower abdomen, instantly spreading throughout his body. His experience was still too lacking, and his hands were a little slower than his heart......
The man curled his fingers and poked him hard with the knuckles.
Su Ai felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his body shook, and a fishy smell gushed into his mouth, he forcibly held back and slapped the other party back.
The target's counterattack was unexpected, the man snorted softly, and he didn't dodge, but Su Ai was injured first, and his strength was greatly weakened, and this palm failed to cause damage, Su Ai stumbled and crashed into a pedestrian next to him.
"Hey, don't you have long eyes when you walk?" the pedestrian scolded.
Su Ai ignored him, concentrated all his will, straightened his waist, and walked forward slowly.
The assassin turned around and kept a distance of seven or eight paces behind Su Ai, silently checking in his heart.
After counting to ten, the Assassin was surprised and ashamed to find that his target had not fallen, and with a blushing face, he hurried a few steps to poke again.
Su Ai's footsteps stumbled again, and this time she bumped into a nearby woman, who screamed and was about to open her mouth to scold, when she found that the impudent boy was gone, and she was pushed and pounced on a vendor with an unkind look.
Su Ai circled behind the woman at breakneck speed, shoved her towards the assassin, and took the opportunity to point a finger from her side.
This is the centering finger that Shangguan Ru taught him, there is only one move, which cannot be fatal, but it is his life-saving stunt, and he easily refuses to use it.
The assassin was careless, thinking that the target had completely lost the ability to resist, and reached out to pounce on the strange woman, who was fingered on the side of the chest, and the force was not great, but the breath in the meridians immediately condensed, and he couldn't make a move.
The whole process was just a moment, and most pedestrians didn't notice Su Ai's actions, only to see a man reaching out to touch a woman, and the woman screamed, and couldn't help but feel chivalrous and surrounded to fight.
Su Ai blended into the crowd again, he knew that he could not go to the city gate anymore, there were probably assassins there, so whether he was familiar with it or not, ran into the crowded alley, walked out of several streets one after another, and then found a small inn, forced his composure, and rented a room to rest.
The assassin's finger was quite powerful, leaving a large bruise on his body and causing internal injuries, and after holding out for half an hour, Su Ai vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the bed.
When he woke up, it was already afternoon, and fortunately no Assassins had arrived, so he wiped his face and decided to go to the Kongtong Sect for help.
Fortunately, Su Ai met Gu Shenwei here.
"The Instrument Staff Bureau, the Jinpeng Killer is hiding in the Instrument Staff Bureau...... took Lin Xiaoshan's son away...... The Assassins were not from the Western Regions. Su Ai's injuries became more and more serious, and after saying these few words, the whole person softened.
Gu Shenwei held Su Ai and understood the meaning of these words, "Who is in charge of the Instrument and Staff Bureau?"
Zihe Zhenren shook his head, "I have to ask about this, I still go to see the Queen Mother first, King Xiao is afraid that he already knows that the news has leaked, and he is likely to act in advance, so we have to be prepared." ”
The real person was in a hurry to enter the palace and said to Chen Jinfu: "Save people first, take the best medicine, don't be stingy." ”
"Yes. Chen Jinfu said in astonishment, he didn't know what was going on in front of him.
"Your Uncle Fan was poisoned in King Xiao's Mansion, let him lie here first and don't move. The real person added.
"Yes. Chen Jinfu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he even remembered the strange medicine that Han Fen had given him, and he really hoped that he could be a little bolder.
When the real person left, Gu Shenwei helped Su Ai to the chair and said to the disciples of the Kongtong faction: "He has suffered internal injuries, what elixir is here?"
"Yes, there are a few, I'll go get them. Chen Jinfu hurriedly went out and almost hit the door frame.
Su Ai wanted to explain the situation in detail, but Gu Shenwei raised his hand to stop him, "Don't move, I already understand what you mean." ”
Su Ai nodded, her hanging heart finally let go, but she still had something to say, "Why did the killer take Lin Xin away, he was just a child." ”
"This shows that Lin Xiaoshan is still alive, and King Xiao deliberately played such a trick to make Lin Xiaoshan believe that he was doing things for me. ”
"King Xiao, these things...... Yes...... It's all King Xiao......"
Gu Shenwei nodded.
Chen Jinfu came back, holding a wooden box in both hands, after opening it, he found four or five porcelain bottles, and introduced them one by one, all of them had the miraculous effect of prolonging life, Gu Shenwei took them all, fed Su Ai to take them, and then held his palm, and entered the true qi to heal him.
Su Ai's cultivation is also a Daoless Divine Skill, it has not been a long time, and he has already achieved a small success, with the help of Gu Shenwei, his breath gradually returned to normal, and his face improved.
Chen Jinfu was not idle, he found the external ointment, smeared it on Su Ai's bruises, and finally let out a sigh, "Okay, Senior Brother Su has met someone from the Qingcheng faction?"
"How do you know?" Gu Shenwei was a little surprised.
"I look at Senior Brother Su's injury, it seems to be caused by the Qingcheng Sect's Seven Star Finger, it is said that the person who is poked by the Seven Star Finger will die within seven steps, Senior Brother Su has been able to support it until now, it is really amazing. ”
Su Ai smiled reluctantly, although it was not so painful, but he felt doubly tired and drowsy.
"I'm going out for a trip, you stay here to rest. Gu Shenwei said.
Su Ai nodded.
There are no masters in the Kongtong faction's stronghold, but Gu Shenwei can't stay here, he has to take action.
"I'm sorry, I ...... Gu Gongzi's knife" Su Ai suddenly remembered his important dereliction of duty.
"It doesn't matter. Gu Shenwei thought for a while, and said to Chen Jinfu: "Open the door, there is no need to fortify, if the real person and Zhou Jianmen come back first, tell them that I will definitely visit tonight." ”
"Yes. Chen Jinfu's heart became more and more uneasy, and his face changed.
Su Ai had already arrived at the Kongtong faction, and there was no need for King Xiao to intercept and kill him, Gu Shenwei thought so, came to the street, looked around, and found no monitors.
King Xiao is likely to really act in advance, Gu Shenwei is a little anxious, at this time it is just dark, there are already pedestrians on the street, he can't care about it, he exerts light skills, and walks quickly on the roof.
He arrived at the Pony Mansion first, and instead of coming to the door according to normal etiquette, he jumped directly into the mansion and sneaked towards the back house.
Gu Shenwei had only been to the Pony Mansion once, and he was not familiar with the layout inside, but he stood on the roof and quickly found the princess's place - the brightest place to be lit.
Princess Huaping is holding a small open-air dinner, the only guests are Shangguan Ru and the red bat, those large and small beards are not around, and only the maid ring and the eunuch serve them.
Gu Shenwei observed for a while, and remembered that he still owed Shangguan Ru a drink.
From a distance, Shangguan Ru still doesn't seem to drink, all the red bats do it for him, and the princess doesn't care, she makes a lot of noise like a man, and she is very happy.
Not long after, Shangguan Ru found an excuse to get up and leave, and the princess only wanted to compare the amount of wine with the red bat, so she did not persuade Shangguan Ru to stay, and sent a maid to send her to rest.
When he reached a place where there was no one halfway through, Shangguan Ru said to Yahuan: "I know the way, you go back to serve the princess." ”
Yahuan took the order and left, Shangguan Ru looked around and whispered, "Is it you?"
Gu Shenwei walked out from behind the flowers, he kept following her, "It's me." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I want to see the princess, but I don't want anyone around her to find out. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't come to the capital to protect anyone, since King Xiao wanted to act, he hoped that more people would participate and fight more lively. (To be continued.) )
