Volume 2: Storms and clouds surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 248: Unusual Movement
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is an extremely special day for Hangzhou. The Lantern Festival is not only about eating Lantern Festival, but also about poetry and lantern festivals. On the street in front of the Prefecture, lanterns are lined up in sequence, stretching for miles.
, people stepped on the snow that had not completely dissipated, and started to play and watch since it got dark.
Yanbin Building, Qingxiufang, Taohuayuan and Hongxiuzhao are already full of seats. Donglin Society is in Qingxiufang, Chen Qinian and others are in Taohuayuan, the young master is in Yanbin Building, and the officials’ children are in Hongxiuzhao. This has been so many years
According to the established rules, no one goes to other circles to hang out, but they can enjoy themselves freely.
Jiang Ning was invited early in the morning, and all the posts from the fourth building arrived, which really made everyone in the Wang family sigh with emotion, especially the old man. He thought about which of the descendants of the Wang family would be able to produce a talented person and gain fame. They had been looking forward to it for more than ten years.
In the end, it was the son-in-law who stepped in the door and became famous, joining the ranks of Hangzhou's talented men. With two poems, he became known as the number one talented man in Hangzhou.
But Jiang Ning still didn't go at all. Except for going out and bringing back two portions of stinky tofu, he stayed at home until the evening.
Wang Ruoyan, Yue Ya and Xing'er wanted to see the lanterns, so they took Jiang Ning with them, and Jiang Ning had no choice but to go together.
"Master Jiang..." Walking on the West Lake Anti, with bright lights all around, a man suddenly appeared behind Jiang Ning and patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder.
Jiang Ning was startled and took a step forward. When he turned around, he saw it was He San and put down his crossed hands.
He San was surprised to see Jiang Ning being so alert.
"If my husband has something to do, let's go back first." Seeing this, Wang Ruoyan felt slightly blessed, said hello to He San, and then said to Jiang Ning.
He San cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry. I must tell Young Master Jiang some things. If you cause me any trouble, I will definitely come to you to apologize in the future."
Wang Ruoyan smiled slightly: "Anyway, since we are my husband's good friends, I don't need to see him outside. If you are free, it would be great to come and have a seat at my house."
"Crescent Moon, Xing'er, let's go over there and have a look..."
Before Wang Ruoyan could finish speaking, He San hurriedly said: "No..."
The fierce words were different from before. Jiang Ning frowned. Who is He San? He has followed Xia Kang as an official since Luoyang. Yesterday, there was something about the eldest princess. At this moment, his mood was naturally tense.
of.
He San added: "I mean, Miss, it's better to go home first. The lantern festival happens every year, and this year may be a little uneven..."
Wang Ruoyan still recognized the palace's carriage. After hearing He San's words, his heart suddenly thumped and he turned to look at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said: "You go back first, I'll go back as soon as I can."
Wang Ruoyan knew that this kind of thing was not something women could get involved in. It involved the palace and it was no longer a simple friendship. She frowned and said, "Then I'll wait for my husband to come back at home."
This sentence was sincere. Not to mention the current relationship between the two, the feeling Jiang Ning gave her was extremely special. It was indeed rare in the world for such a talent to be able to act like this.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Don't worry, Yueya, Xing'er, you go back with the young lady, the sooner the better..."
The two of them didn't know what was going on. Seeing Jiang Ning being so serious, they knew it must be something important, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they hurried home with Wang Ruoyan.
Seeing the three people disappearing into the crowd, Jiang Ning said sternly: "Third uncle, please do not involve my family in this matter from now on..."
He San was slightly startled, and knew that he had done something wrong today, so he raised his hand and said, "It's an emergency. I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly in a few words. You can get in the car. I'm afraid there will be no peace in Hangzhou today."
"ah……"
"Go away, go away..."
"Everyone waiting here, please retreat quickly..."
Before Jiang Ning could get into the car, he heard a noise in the distance, and then a large army of troops armed with spears, arrows and crossbows rushed from a distance, with the sound of ping-pong-pang-pong weapons clashing.
He San nodded, as if he knew what Jiang Ning was thinking.
"So fast..." Jiang Ning said in shock.
He San shook his head at this moment: "That's not the case... let's go first..."
Jiang Ning got on the carriage, and He San drove along the river embankment towards the palace.
The crowd ran away in the sudden change, and soon only soldiers with swords and guns in their hands were left on the once noisy street.
"Grandma, where are you?" A captain wearing silver armor and holding a silver gun lifted the reins, dismounted from the horse, and then neighed, his hoofs rose into the air, and then fell hard.
The silver armor on the captain's body has been broken. Although it is only a very thin scratch, blood seeps out from it.
"Separately look for..."
The moonlight shone on the remaining snow, making the plaques of the originally dark street shops clearly visible. Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the roof. With a tap of his toes, it rolled on the ground and headed towards a path.
The alley flew away.
The next moment, the black shadow slowly exited. Along with the black shadow, there was a captain holding a broadsword and four soldiers holding spears.
Without saying a word, the captain moved his feet and took a step forward three feet away. The steel knife in his hand reached the top of the black shadow's head in an instant.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Under the three swords, the black figure retreated continuously, but blocked the three offensives between the lightning and flint. The captain attacked quickly, and the black shadow retreated even faster. After three swords, although it was forced back ten
A few feet, but the distance between the two is much farther than before.
The captain suddenly attacked, and the black shadow's reaction was perfect, breaking the attack in an instant.
The four people behind him also attacked together, trapping the black shadow in the center.
"You are so brave, you dare to assassinate an official of the imperial court..." The captain shouted angrily: "Why don't you just arrest him without hesitation?"
"Hmph..." I heard the black figure coldly snort, and swung the long sword in his hand violently. The sword light was like snow, which stung the eyes of the four people. After the sword light, there were four sharp sword moves, coming from all four directions.
It shoots out in a direction.
"Puff, puff, puff..." Four voices suddenly sounded, and the four people let out a scream, and fell backwards. The spears in their hands fell from their hands and hit the ground.
"clang……"
At the moment when these four people fell, the steel sword in the captain's hand had already found a flaw in the four sword moves, and struck towards the top of the black shadow's head.
The dark figure twisted at a strange angle. In the inevitable situation, it managed to gain a glimmer of light. He raised one hand and used his wrist to move the sword, blocking it three inches in front of his eyes. Sparks illuminated a pair of bright eyes.
"Pa..."
The captain's left fist turned into a palm and hit the black shadow's right shoulder hard.
Some thin black figures were knocked away by a palm.
