Chapter 159: Stone Bridge Assassination
Before he stepped on his horse, his eyes wandered around, and he saw that under the scorching sun, there were very few people around the house, and even if someone occasionally walked by, he hurried home to escape the heat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the true qi that made him feel uneasy was vaguely appearing, and he didn't know where the exact location was, Duan Qianqiu thought to himself: "The owner of this kind of true qi is also extremely strong, could it be that someone is secretly spying on us?"
With this bad premonition, Duan Qianqiu raised his vigilance, and the true weather on his body spread like spider silk, spreading out a huge web, covering all around him, even the two carriages carrying Zhang Yuanchuan and Yan Jing in front of him were also shrouded.
In this web, any abnormal movement cannot escape Duan Qianqiu's induction, as long as it is slightly touched, Duan Qianqiu will fly like a spider in the web, crushing the intruder.
In order to be in order, Duan Qianqiu also reminded the escort horse team in front to be vigilant to prevent emergencies from happening.
"That true qi is here again. Duan Qianqiu's true qi was immediately sensitive, his eyes lit up, and he saw a shadow as faint as a dark shadow in the sun, swept by the side of the street, turned into flowers and willows, and disappeared again.
Duan Qianqiu said secretly: "It's so fast!"
After crossing a street, there is nothing to do, and after another street, there is still nothing to do.
Then there is a small bridge across the Qushui River.
That true aura is gone!
The bridge is not wide, only allowing one car to ride, side by side.
The team slowly crossed the bridge, and the sun became more and more dazzling.
Halfway through the line, a sea change occurred.
I only heard a loud bang, and in the firelight, smoke and dust shot up, and the bridge collapsed!
The carriage carrying Mei Tieke and Zhang Yuanchuan fell into the Qushui River under the bridge.
The water in the Qushui River has never been deep, so even if the carriage falls into the river, the people in the cart will definitely not drown.
Originally, there was nothing to be afraid of, but what really frightened Duan Qianqiu was the three people who approached the carriage like swimming fish in the water.
The three of them were nothing to be afraid of, but the black thing they were tied to suddenly emitted green smoke.
"It's explosives. Duan Qianqiu, who was on the other side of the bridge, yelled, "All retreat." ”
The yamen who were still on the bridge quickly retreated to the outside of the bridge as they said. In the midst of the retreat, the three men in the river were already approaching the carriage.
Duan Qianqiu's palms were clapped in turn, like rain hitting plantains, and he struck out thirteen palms at once. Each move is the "Cloud Luo Sky Net" in the Cloud Piercing Nine Style, and the move hits the overwhelming strength of the Gangfeng, and directly collapses into the three people in the river.
His purpose was simply to kill the three men so that they could no longer get close to the carriage.
Two of the three people in the river fell at once, and the remaining one. dragged an arm that was smashed by the palm force, and with his last breath, he threw himself into the carriage.
As the sound of "boom boom" in the river sounded one after another, the water of the river stirred up a column of water several feet high, and the carriage also shattered into pieces of sawdust.
The three killers in the river were torn to dust by explosives.
Duan Qianqiu jumped under the bridge, looked around, and saw that except for a pile of tattered carriage wreckage in the water, Mei Tieke and Zhang Yuanchuan were nowhere to be seen.
Duan Qianqiu's heart felt cold: "Nothing will happen to the two of them, right?" was about to shout, when suddenly, that hostile true qi reappeared. He looked up, and saw a figure hidden under a willow tree on the riverbank, far away from him, dressed in gray, with a long body, only half of his body exposed. The clouds obscured and the sun darkened, and the man was gone.
Duan Qianqiu's mind was not on this person now, and he didn't chase after him. He faintly felt Mei Tieke's weak aura like a gossamer, and he was very worried about Mei Tieke's safety. He hurried to the wreckage of the carriage with only some wheels left, and shouted loudly: "Tie Ke!
At this moment, two people suddenly emerged from the mud in the river, and there were still a large pile of aquatic plants at the bottom of the river on their heads and faces. Slush.
Mei Tieke's true qi sense instantly became stronger, knowing that Mei Tieke was fine, Duan Qianqiu's heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Seeing Mei Tieke's appearance like a mud monkey, and Zhang Yuanchuan's dying appearance, Duan Qianqiu asked, "You pressed him in the mud like this, in case he was suffocated to death." What to do?"
Mei Tieke smiled bitterly: "As soon as I heard your scream, I told him to breathe in, and then hold his breath before pressing him into the mud, if he still dies, then the villain can't do anything." ”
Duan Qianqiu said with a smile: "Being suffocated to death, although it looks good, it is much more uncomfortable than being blown up, but it looks like Zhang Gongzi's complexion is still good." ”
When Zhang Yuanchuan heard his mocking words, he was so anxious that he rolled his eyes, spit out a stream of black mud from his mouth, and fainted.
Mei Tieke handed over the fainted Zhang Yuanchuan to the other officials who came from wading through the water, and then walked up to Duan Qianqiu and asked, "Master Gongzi, these killers seem to have been premeditated for a long time, how did they know that we would cross this bridge?"
Duan Qianqiu looked at the fragments of the stone bridge that fell into the river under the bridge and said, "These are all professional killers, and they must be loyal to a certain organization, otherwise they would not be so fierce and fearless of death." But it's been premeditated for a long time, so I can't say it. ”
"How can you see that?" said Mei Tieke strangely.
"Their original plan was to blow up the bridge and kill the target one by one, but the explosives they planted at the bottom of the bridge were obviously not enough, that is, they underestimated the solidity of the stone bridge, so they just blew up the bridge. And did not blow up the stone bridge with the carriage. Therefore, it can be seen that they are just explosives that were planted in a hurry. This small bridge is the only way for us to return to the Yamen of the Three Dharma Divisions, and it is not surprising that they know about it. Duan Qianqiu analyzed.
"And who are they going to kill?"
"At present, that Zhang Yuanchuan Zhang Gongzi is the most suspicious?"
Mei Tieke fell into deep thought and said, "Why would anyone want to kill Zhang Yuanchuan?
Duan Qianqiu said: "I don't understand either. But one thing is certain. ”
"What is it?"
"He'll come back a second time. ”
In the prison of the Criminal Department, after Zhang Yuanchuan and Yan Jing were detained separately by the Criminal Arrest Department, Zhang Yuanchuan was first interrogated for committing the crime of violently kidnapping Yan Jing.
Duan Qianqiu asked Zhang Yuanchuan, who was sitting across from his table, "Do you know if anyone wants to kill you?"
Zhang Yuanchuan obviously hadn't recovered from the assassination just now, and he said in confusion: "I don't know. ”
"You'd better think about it, if the killer comes a second time, we can't guarantee that we'll be able to save your life. Duan Qianqiu said.
Zhang Yuanchuan tilted his head and recalled painfully, he obviously remembered something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. He hesitated, avoiding Duan Qianqiu's fierce eyes. (To be continued.) )
