Volume 2: Storms and clouds surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 314: The troops are approaching the city
The candle in the lantern fell to the ground, and suddenly the flames shot up into the sky and burned directly to the roof. Jiang Ning rolled forward and went from the house to the courtyard. Zhou Xuming and Du Qian stepped forward to get Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning took his left boot.
He pulled out a dagger, and a cold light flashed through, almost blocking Zhou Xu.
Ming's sword, fire burst out from above. Jiang Ning felt a huge force coming from the handle and seeping into his internal organs. He hurriedly used the skills of Bahuang Liuhe to resist, but he still flew out, heavily.
He fell against the wall and stopped just now. His throat felt sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Yeah?" Zhou Xuming snorted lightly. A weak scholar like Jiang Ning actually blocked his attack? Even if his reaction speed was slower and he used 30% of his strength, a weak scholar like Jiang Ning would not die if he didn't.
He was seriously injured, why can this person still stand up now? He just spit out a mouthful of blood?
Li Tianding was also a little surprised, but Jiang Ning's clothes were torn apart, and a piece of software appeared from the broken place. Although it was already midnight, he could see it clearly.
"Soft armor? No wonder..." Zhou Xuming sneered: "You won't have such good luck next..."
Zhou Xuming chuckled, raised his sword and headed towards the lower third road of Jiangning. His speed was much faster than Cheng Jinyun in the bamboo forest, but it was indeed much faster than ordinary warriors.
But Jiang Ning's mouth flashed with a strange smile, Zhou Xuming became angry, and his subordinates would not show any mercy. But in an instant, bursts of explosions suddenly erupted in the courtyard, and the green bricks and soil were directly exploded.
The sound flew away, and firelight and black smoke enveloped the entire small courtyard in an instant.
Without saying a word, Jiang Ning grabbed the green brick on the wall with his right hand, jumped up to the top of the wall, and with a sudden movement, he walked out of the courtyard wall amidst the explosion and headed towards the depths of the alley.
"Fuck, chase..." Zhou Xuming became angry and avoided the explosion point. When he saw Jiang Ning turning over, he was furious. A weak scholar not only blocked his attack, but also escaped.
Go out, if word of this gets out, you will definitely be laughed out of your mouth.
At the same time, Li Tianding also gritted his teeth, and with a single step, he had already surpassed Zhou Xuming, and turned out of the yard. Before his feet fell, there was an explosion in the alley. Li Tianding followed the wall and watched Jiang Ning turn around the alley.
Own
But they had already lost the opportunity and could not catch up. The thick smoke caused by the explosion of black powder completely covered the weak light and moonlight. In addition, the deafening explosions were intertwined with the surrounding shouts of death, and even the steps could not be heard.
, how to pursue it?
After turning a few alleys, Li Tianding stood on the eaves of the house, gritting his teeth as he looked at the chaotic Jinling City. Du Qian and Zhou Xuming also arrived behind him. Even Du Qian, who was a top-notch Qinggong expert, was almost killed.
The bomb hit, and he looked around in disgrace.
"As for the owner of the village, you can find a way to explain it yourself. I can't help you..." Li Tianding glanced at the two people behind him and spat: "What a fucking bad luck..."
After saying that, he jumped off the eaves and turned into the alley and disappeared, leaving Zhou Xuming and Du Qian looking at each other.
"Damn it, who is this person? A scholar who can actually do martial arts? Can he also use firearms?" Zhou Xuming also spat, not sure if it was Li Tianding or Jiang Ning who spat.
"Check who this person is..." Du Qian said: "Even if he goes to the ends of the earth, he still has to be caught and stewed. The one lying on the ground is Bai Yiyi. Now the body is gone. The owner of the village knows it.
, are we two still alive?"
"Do you want to escape?" Zhou Xuming frowned. He didn't expect that he had accomplished a great job just now, but now he fell short and was about to escape.
Du Qian sighed and said: "Then what can we do? Let's avoid the limelight first. Bai Yiyi is dead. Even if Jinling City is captured, it will not be safe. The generals don't want to mess with that crazy woman. Let's go and mess with her."
What is she doing?"
"Well, what you said..." Zhou Xuming turned around and before he finished speaking, he was already stunned on the spot, not daring to say another word. Big beads of sweat rolled down his blackened face.
"How is it? This is the best way..." Du Qian tilted his head and smiled. When he saw Zhou Xuming who turned around and stood motionless, his eyes were full of fear, his heart suddenly sank and he turned over.
, was about to jump up, but was picked up directly from behind.
"Want to run? Where to run?" The man behind him was not tall and thin, but with great strength, he picked up Du Qian with one hand, smiled slightly, and threw Du Qian onto the room.
Du Qian took a breath of cold air and landed on the ground. He didn't make a sound, but his face was filled with an ugly look. He hurriedly said: "Master of the village, please calm down. Master, please calm down. That's not what I meant. It's..."
"What is it? The person you were asked to find didn't even find the body?" The woman wearing a bamboo hat behind the man spoke slowly. Although her tone was calm, the aura she exuded made the two of them shudder.
"Is he dead? How do you know for sure?" The woman asked again, her tone a little more urgent, and she was obviously a little impatient.
Zhou Xuming swallowed his saliva and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The owner of the village, I know Du Qian. He said he was dead, so we followed him, but the scholar... ran away..."
The man next to him hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Scholar? You let a scholar run away?"
"Brother Xing, you don't know that this scholar is not a scholar." Zhou Xuming hurriedly explained, but after he finished speaking, he found that this explanation was more confusing, and he waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no..."
"What on earth is that? Don't worry, explain it clearly. If you can't explain it clearly here, then go to Zhuangzi and tell it. There is plenty of time." The woman regained her composure, but her words were full of threats.
Zhou Xuming smiled awkwardly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned into a black face, but he couldn't care about it at the moment, and said hurriedly: "This man knows martial arts, wears soft armor, has a musket in his hand, and also
There were explosives and there must be a secret passage in the house to move people out."
"Yes, yes, such a scheme, how could an ordinary person have such a scheme?" Du Qian said hurriedly: "As for Miss Bai, I have always been careful to take care of her, but the situation at that time was too chaotic. I was chased by officers and soldiers.
After finally escaping with her life, Miss Bai has been reported by this dead scholar. I met her on the way and hurriedly notified Brother Zhou to come. The owner of the village knows what happened next..."
"Dead...who did it? Is it the scholar or who?" the woman said coldly.
Suddenly there was another fire not far away. At this moment, the entire Jinling City was in chaos. Under her cold appearance, her heart was also in chaos. Although she tried her best to stay calm, her hands gradually became cold.
"Master, I, Zhou Xuming, will definitely take that scholar back and ask him clearly. Master, please rest assured." Although Zhou Xuming was frightened, he still couldn't swallow the bad breath and said with cupped fists.
Zhao Xing said calmly: "If you find it, let me know and I will catch it myself."
Although Zhou Xuming was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to say: "I understand..."
He grabbed Du Qian with his backhand and jumped off the eaves, running towards the darkness and fighting.
"Master... My condolences..." Zhao Xing walked to the woman's side and cupped his fists. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die." The woman stood on the eaves, as if she was one with the dark night. After a long time, she exhaled.
