Chapter 28: Night Fire (4/5)
It turned out that it was not water poured on the ground, but the ignition of the oil that was ignited, and the pungent smell that the two of them smelled was emitted by the oil.
Fortunately, the two of them retreated quickly, and the stairs were full of fire oil, which were ignited in an instant, if Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian were one step slower, they were afraid that they would already be in a sea of fire at this moment.
"What a poisonous calculation!" Yu Wenqian said hatefully, her whole face was as red as a cloud illuminated by the raging flames, although she was extremely angry, she still couldn't hide her gorgeous color.
Xiao Suifeng didn't care about Yu Wenqian's different beauty at the moment, although the upstairs was not sprinkled with fire oil, but this inn was basically wooden, if you didn't escape quickly, it would inevitably be engulfed by the fire.
"Jump out of the window. After Yu Wenqian scolded angrily, she also realized that the two of them were not out of danger, and couldn't help but propose.
The second floor of this inn is only more than a zhang high, and ordinary people can jump down, let alone Jianghu people like Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng.
But Xiao Suifeng was not reckless, he didn't say anything after looking at Yu Wenqian, he just walked into a room casually, and as soon as he pushed the window open, several rockets were whizzing. Fortunately, Xiao Suifeng reacted quickly enough and closed the window in time, so that the rocket failed to shoot into the room, but the wooden window was ignited by the rocket, and it was only a matter of time before it burned through the room.
The fire downstairs was raging, and Yu Wenqian could even feel the temperature under her feet rising, and she didn't know when it might burn down the entire inn. There were many masters and crossbowmen secretly ambushed around, and they almost completely cut off Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng's way of life.
"What should we do?" Yu Wenqian was a little worried in her heart, but she was still calm, which made Xiao Suifeng look a little higher.
Xiao Suifeng was naturally thinking of a way to deal with it, and after a little silence, he looked up and said, "Go to the top of the building." ”
There is a closed skylight on the roof of the building, which is closed most of the time on weekdays to facilitate the repair of the roof.
At this moment, Xiao Suifeng didn't say much, there was no ladder next to him, so he made a force under his feet, jumped upward, and jumped up on the ground, opened the skylight with one palm, and jumped onto the roof.
Jianghu warriors are not immortals, and if there is nothing to borrow, it is difficult to carry out light skills. Xiao jumped up to a height of more than a foot with the wind, which is definitely a top-notch light skill, and even ordinary masters may not be able to do it.
Xiao Suifeng obviously classified Yu Wenqian as an ordinary master, so after jumping onto the roof, he immediately untied the belt around his waist and threw it down, and shouted to Yu Wenqian, "Grab the strap and I'll pull you up!"
But Yuwen Qian glanced at him and ignored it, and jumped lightly, and it was easy to jump to the top of the building.
Looking at Xiao Suifeng's slightly surprised look, Yuwen Qian smiled at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of pride, "I can't compare to you in martial arts and swordsmanship, but I am no worse than you in light martial arts, son, don't underestimate Qian'er!"
Xiao Suifeng didn't speak, but he finally understood in his heart that when he was in Wuling City before, why he went straight to the carriage and horse as soon as he got off the boat, he was still preempted by Yu Wenqian.
First the acupuncture, then the light work, this Yu Wenqian doesn't know what special strength has not been shown, but it is very hidden.
Xiao Suifeng thought to himself, but this is not the time to investigate the mystery of Yu Wenqian's body, the top priority is to get out of this sea of fire and killing machine first.
So the two lowered their bodies, and Xiao quietly showed his head with the wind and looked around the inn carefully.
There were dozens of black shadows around the inn, with swords in their hands or strong bows and crossbows, surrounding the inn, but their attention was on the windows around the second floor, and they didn't particularly care about the roof.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire had already reached the second floor, and the wooden building was crackling with fire, and it seemed that it could not support it.
"How's the situation?" asked Yu Wenqian.
Xiao Suifeng shook his head and said, "There are people all around, even if you can avoid which arrows, landing is a tough battle." ”
Yu Wenqian glanced into the inn through the skylight, and saw that the second floor was also engulfed in flames, and even the flames had begun to bubble out from the skylight, and couldn't help but say, "It's better to fight hard than to burn alive." Saying that, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Suifeng, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Childe, Qian'er is not afraid, you won't be afraid, right?"
Xiao Suifeng ignored her, but his eyes fell on the carriage they had taken earlier next to the inn, and after thinking for a while, "This inn won't last long, and when the inn burns down, we will take advantage of the chaos to jump down from here." Then I'll block the arrows, and you'll get rid of the archers. ”
Seeing that Xiao Suifeng had set a strategy, Yu Wenqian was not in a hurry, but smiled provocatively, "Childe trusts Qian'er so much, Qian'er will naturally not let Childe down." But Xiao Suifeng at this moment naturally ignored him.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the inn crackled in the fire, and it was already a little crumbling. Soon, the roof was finally burned, and Xiao Suifeng and Yuwen Qian bent down and hid on the edge, waiting for the last moment to come.
There was a loud bang, as if the beams of the house had been burned off, and the crumbling wooden building in the fire finally could not support it and began to collapse.
The black-clothed people who were originally surrounding the inn saw that no one rushed out, and they were already a little relaxed, and then they couldn't help but retreat one by one when they saw the flames scurrying around, for fear that they would also be swallowed up by the tongues of fire that were running around.
"Let's go!" At this moment, Xiao shouted softly in the wind, and the two people who had been waiting for the opportunity finally moved, jumping down one after the other.
"The people are there!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian were seen as soon as they rushed out, but the black-clothed people were already a little scattered at this moment, although they shouted continuously, only five or six people reacted, and shot at Xiao Suifeng and the others.
Xiao followed the wind in front of Yu Wenqian, and waved the Chengying Sword in his hand, knocking down the arrows one by one. And Yu Wenqian, who was following Xiao Suifeng, was also cold at the moment, his subordinates danced lightly, and several golden needles shot out, hitting the eyebrows of the first few crossbowmen who reacted, killing them with one shot.
After only one round of arrows, Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian had already landed on the ground.
Seeing this, the dozen or so black-clothed people on this side were not flustered, shouting and greeting their companions, and at the same time rushed over directly with swords in their hands, wanting to surround the two.
There are dozens of black-clothed people here, and if they come together, even if they are ordinary masters, I am afraid that they will be able to surround the two of them to death.
Therefore, Xiao Suifeng naturally didn't want to delay, and he and Yu Wenqian hurriedly rushed straight away. Xiao Suifeng waved the long sword in front of him, and Yu Wenqian then shot with golden needles, and in an instant, the two of them killed seven or eight black-clothed people who stopped in front of him one after another, and rushed directly to the side of the carriage.
At this moment, the men in black had already gathered, and someone even opened their bows and fired arrows at the two.
Xiao Suifeng was not in love with war, he swung his sword and directly cut off the horse sleeve, turned over and jumped on the horse's back. At this moment, Xiao Suifeng no longer had any scruples, and after getting on the horse, he directly hugged Yuwen Qian's weak waist sideways and hugged him on the horse, and immediately rode away.
The man in black saw Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian riding away, but he still didn't want to stop, and more than a dozen men in black also turned over and chased after the two.
At this moment, immediately Yu Wenqian was sitting diagonally in front of Xiao Suifeng. Immediately bumped, so he couldn't sit down at all, and if he didn't want to fall down, Yu Wenqian had to hug Xiao Suifeng tightly.
This made Yu Wenqian feel ashamed and annoyed, but she had no choice but to bury her head in Xiao Suifeng's chest with hatred, and she couldn't wait to bite it twice.
