193 Reason 5
At the top of the dragon pillar, Nie Guijiang held a pair of long and short swords in his hand, and seemed calm in the face of the siege of everyone.
Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu have not joined the battle for the time being. Both of them noticed that Nie Guijiang has always been guarding the space near the Longshou area. Although there is not much room for retreat behind him, he will not be attacked from the front and back and fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and back.
From time to time, some people in the Jinyiwei were injured and retreated to the back row to take over. Nie Guijiang did not ask for a quick kill without asking for a lot of people, and did not even take the initiative to attack several times. Long swords were far away and short swords were close to each other. Nie Guijiang's moves were mostly passively dealing with swords from around him.
"Isn't he going to be in the calculation of wheel battles like this?" Yu Shiqi felt strange.
"Maybe just want to delay time..." Nian Jiu judged, "I still don't believe that Nie Guijiang will take the initiative to step into the Jedi. There must be something he prepared for on this dragon pillar."
Yu Shiqi's eyes swept around and finally landed on the dragon head behind Nie Guijiang: "If this is the case, then he must have hidden something on the dragon head, and his current position is to prevent us from approaching the dragon head."
Nian Jiu nodded in agreement: "What do you want to do?"
Yu Shiqi smiled and answered with actions.
Nian Jiu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and saw Yu Shiqi suddenly drew his sword and rushed forward. He jumped up lightly while Nie Guijiang was dealing with the Jinyiwei beside him and slashed down with a sword from a high place.
Nie Guijiang instinctively raised his sword to block the frame, but Yu Shiqi's sword was about to leave. With the power from the sword, he easily crossed over Nie Guijiang's head, and after landing, he ran towards the dragon head without looking back.
"Tsk..." Nie Guijiang instantly understood Yu Shiqi's intention, a shiny light flashed in his eyes, and the two swords in his hand instantly showed an unprecedented sharp sword light.
The Jinyiwei who besieged Nie Guijiang did not expect this sudden change, and everyone screamed and flew backwards under the knife.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhi had no time to care about his injured subordinates. He raised his hand and shot the convex gun at Nie Guijiang, preventing him from turning around and chasing Yu Shiqi who had already climbed the dragon head.
The shot was too fast, and Nie Guijiang avoided the ballistic with just one side move, but this moment of pause had given the other person enough time to react. The long sword pierced obliquely, and Nian Jiu's silver mask appeared out of the corner of Nie Guijiang's eyes.
With a "clang", the long and short swords overlapped and held the sword blade, and the two eyes collided across the air.
"Stop being in trouble!" After a humble voice, Nie Guijiang pushed his sword open and drew two silver arcs in front of him with his howling blade.
Nian Jiu did not flash outside the range of the sword light, but leaned over and crouched to let both silver arcs pass over his head. Then, without hesitation, he seized the opportunity when Nie Guijiang's two swords failed and bullied him in front of him.
"I won't let you pass!" She hit Nie Guijiang, exerting force on her shoulders and elbows twice, knocking him out of balance for a short time.
Nie Guijiang lowered his head with the flow. When he stood firm again, silver light flashed on the edge of the hat above his head. The silver mask on Nian Jiu's face broke and split from it, and a blood mark appeared across the bridge of his nose and appeared on her exposed face.
She seemed to have not realized it. The tip of the sword left a shallow wound on Nie Guijiang's shoulder, but she was kicked by Nie Guijiang several steps away.
"So the third knife is hidden on the edge of the hat." She raised her hand and wiped the blood from her face, her eyes as firm as a mountain.
"It's you..." Nie Guijiang stared at Nian Jiu with a cold look, revealing his true face, and said contemptuously: "You are the junk guy that Zhonglingqi picked up in Jiangzhou two years ago."
Nian Jiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, thanks to Mr. Zhong, I have gained a new life."
"You seem to be proud of it, as the sword in Yunzhong, but you are able to survive because of the assassin leader." Nie Guijiang sneered, "I really don't know what shame is."
"On the contrary, unlike the Youdu Leader, I am a very grateful person." Nian Jiu's figure flashed and blocked Nie Guijiang's road to the dragon head.
Seeing Yu Shiqi successfully climbing to the top of the dragon's head, Nie Guijiang was not as anxious as before. He looked up at the boy's back, staring at the look of thinking in his eyes.
There was another assassin hidden above the dragon's head. Because of Yu Shiqi's arrival, he was forced to give up his work and picked up a knife to confront Yu Shiqi.
"Is this the way back you prepared?" Yu Shiqi saw the giant triangular kite that was almost assembled, and immediately understood that Nie Guijiang planned to use this thing to escape from the dragon pillar.
The next moment, his long sword stabbed towards the kite without hesitation, and the wind veins wrapped in the sword body, and the sudden pricking movement was flowing.
"Right Ferry Leader!" The assassin was not sure to use the knife in his hand to block Yu Shiqi's sword, and he cruelly used his body to press forward. While the long sword pierced his chest, he used his last strength to push the kite off the dragon's head.
Nie Guijiang broke away with Nian Jiu's defense with one sword, then threw the short sword at her, forcing Nian Jiu to retreat while flying out of the dragon pillar, and grabbed the giant kite at a critical moment.
The two rounds of bullets shot by Zhu Zhi failed to hit Nie Guijiang, and everyone could only watch him and the kite blow to the distance by the wind in the sky.
Yu Shiqi jumped off the dragon's head and went to Nian Jiu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's a pity that he lets run away." Nian Jiu said regretfully, raising his hand to wipe the blood from his face.
"Hey, you two." Zhu Zhi's Jinyiwei was about to retreat. He waved to Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu, signaling them to leave with him.
Yu Shiqi put away the autumn leaves and looked at Nie Guijiang's departure. The kite had already flew away and could no longer be seen.
"I really hope that guy will fall to death." Nian Jiu clenched his fists.
"The kite has not been assembled yet, but with his ability, I'm afraid this is not a problem." Yu Shiqi sighed and followed Zhu Zhi and others with Nian Jiu.
The Jinyiwei did not go out from the waterway below, but pulled two ziplines at the window on the second floor. Yu Shiqi and Nian Jiu were both wearing Jinyiwei's uniforms, so the imperial guards below did not make things difficult for the two of them when Zhu Zhi came forward.
After leaving the square in front of Chaotian Palace, Zhu Zhi brought the two back to the garrison together. Zhonglingqi, who was sent back to the garrison in advance, had his injuries on his body, but the main injuries were on both arms. It was difficult to recover in the short term to be able to fight with others. Even if he wanted to pursue Nie Guijiang, he was powerless.
However, Zhu Zhi did not make things difficult for the three of them under such circumstances. When he learned that Zhonglingqi was about to go to reunite with his wife and daughter, he took the initiative to send his subordinates to escort him.
Yu Shiqi originally wanted to go with him, but on the way back from Longzhu, he had noticed that Nian Jiu's condition seemed to be abnormal, which made him feel a little relieved. After sending Zhongling away, he immediately came back to ask her about the situation.
Nian Jiu held the wall of the street outside the Jinyiwei Station, and kept tiptoing slightly on his right foot. When he saw Yu Shiqi coming back, he smiled bitterly.
Before he could ask, she admitted: "My leg injury seems to have worsened."
Yu Shiqi frowned, and without saying a word, he planned to carry her back to the Yunzhongjian station.
"No, I can't go back now." Nian Jiu shook his head and refused, "There are still many things that have not been done."
"But you are obviously not suitable for performing tasks anymore."
"Is Nie Guijiang coming to the top of the dragon pillar tonight just to lure Mr. Zhong over and ambush?" Nian Jiu asked him a question.
"you mean……"
"Maybe because we all forgot to search the top of the dragon pillar when we saw him escape in that incredible way." Nian Jiu said solemnly, "This is a mistake that shouldn't have happened."
"Then why didn't you tell Lord Zhu just now in the garrison?" Yu Shiqi thought to himself that with the help of the Jinyiwei, the search operation would get results faster.
"I can't believe in the Jinyiwei." Nian Jiu lowered his eyes, "Ni Guijiang can lead so many people to betray Mr. Zhong, and the Jinyiwei cannot guarantee that he will not be penetrated."
"What should I do now? You definitely can't climb up again. Do you want me to go?" Yu Shiqi asked.
"It's almost dawn, and it's no longer suitable to sneak in again." Nian Jiu rejected the proposal, "Let's take action separately."
