Suddenly there was a burst of light in the night sky in the north. It was not lightning or thunder, but the sound of fireworks exploding in the air.

A plum blossom.

Lu Li was overjoyed and without any hesitation, he rushed straight towards the north of the city.

The night wind whistled in my ears.

Within a few ups and downs, he arrived at the place where the message was sent, countless times faster than the guards scattered around who were still supporting the road.

"beat!"

A short and urgent voice sounded.

I saw that the leading flag officer had a broken arm. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall of the alley, breathing heavily.

Rinse! Rinse!

The sound of breaking wind spread everywhere, and more than a dozen black wolf-fang arrows suddenly shot towards a small sedan chair.

"Go on, let go!" the general flag roared loudly with lingering fear.

After receiving the order, the warriors once again bent their bows and drew arrows.

Another round of shooting.

Not long after, the sedan sandwiched between the two men and horses was shot into a hedgehog. If there was really any living thing inside, it would definitely be dead.

"General Banner, are you okay?"

A guard approached the wall, took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms, and poured half a handful of powder into each. It must be something like a hemostatic powder.

With continuous wailing, the medicinal powder mixture was applied to the mouth of the severed arm. The effect was surprisingly good, and the bleeding was stopped instantly.

"Don't act rashly." The chief flag officer warned with lingering fear: "Be careful around you, we can't see that ghost thing at all."

Not long ago, a shadow flashed before his eyes as he was giving orders. The thing floated down in front of him like a sudden thunderstorm, and then, with a flash of cold light, his left arm immediately flew out.

If his perception of danger was not different from ordinary people, and he simply stepped back, it would not be his arms that flew out, but his head.

dark place.

Lu Li tried his best to control his aura and whispered in his heart: Can't see?

In fact, like the guards, he could not see anything unusual below.

But the neatly severed arm and the smell of blood that filled the air showed that things were not simple.

Then, the scene became weird.

The two Biao Beicheng Bingmasi guards who were staying in the light drew out their sabers and formed a battle formation, carefully guarding against ghosts that might appear at any time.

In the distance, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps. It sounded like there were about a hundred people in it. It should be a camp full of hundreds of households. If there were no accidents along the way, we could arrive in a few snaps of the fingers.

Lu Li, who was hiding in the dark to observe the situation, moved his gaze to the middle of the alley and stared at the small sedan chair.

Four corpses are scattered in the four corners, with obvious muscle lines on their bodies. They are undoubtedly the laborers responsible for carrying the sedan.

There were dozens of black arrows embedded in the sedan body, and about ten of them had penetrated the sedan curtain.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Li saw a large number of lines on several arrows that were mostly exposed. Moreover, unlike those runes in the Western world, they should come from Taoism because they were engraved with eight trigrams.

There was a strong smell of blood inside.

Wolves were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and Lu Li immediately judged that they were not from the flag officer of the Military and Horse Division, nor from the four bearers who died tragically, but from another unknown person.

"It stands to reason that, except for the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, no one will be walking on the streets in the entire Jinling City tonight..."

"By the way, military officers ride horses and civil servants ride in sedan chairs."

"The person in the sedan is a civil servant? Why did he ignore the warning and curfew system and insist on seeking death?"

Just as I was thinking about it, footsteps came from both sides of the alley, and the nearest hundred households finally arrived.

Hearing the noise, the flag officer, who had been tense and sweating, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The consequence of this move was that he almost fainted.

So nervous...

The ghosts appear and disappear, and are completely invisible to the naked eye. Only the moment the opponent takes action, a trace of Qi escapes.

Grain

However, between life and death, who can overcome fear and seize the opportunity that flickers at the fingertips?

Very few.

At least Xia Zongqi has never seen it.

"We have been stuck here. Unless the ghost can fly, then it must be around the sedan."

Xia Zongqi took a deep breath and told the hundreds of households approaching him: "The ghost has weird tricks. I'm afraid it's not dead yet. Please be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he completely lost consciousness.

Baihu, who was wearing black cotton armor and a butterfly-shaped helmet, raised his hand and immediately two guards came quickly and took the flag officer away for treatment.

Flying ghosts?

Lu Li had been hiding on the dark roof, observing the movements around him. He was sure that if the ghosts made any strange movements, he would notice them immediately.

The flag officer's men had blocked both ends long ago. If the ghost wanted to escape from below, it would have to step over the corpses of the soldiers...

"Friends above, come down."

Suddenly, Baihu spoke, which startled Lu Li. Just as he was about to hide in another place, he instantly realized that this was a trick!

The guy's gaze was in the wrong place at all.

Moreover, if the officers and soldiers really discover him, as the person involved, his intuition will definitely give feedback as soon as possible——

Got targeted!

"Since you don't come out..."

With that said, Baihu took the powerful bow from the guard next to him and placed a wolf-fang arrow on it.

"bluff."

Lu Li complained in his heart without taking any action at all. He just felt that there were so many weirdos in the Ming army.

Under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Ding Yan of Baihu opened his fingers.

Along with the sound of breaking wind, an arrow engraved with Taoist runes passed through the sedan and shot through it.

"You, come with me and take a look. Others should be careful. If you let the evil spirit escape, there is no need to take you to the admiral. I will punish you on the spot!"

After saying this, Ding Yan ordered a guard and walked quickly towards the center of the incident, obviously wanting to lead the way.

Seeing this, Lu Li also put aside his distracting thoughts and looked at the civil official sedan with concentration.

The standard Yan Ling knife lifts up the sedan curtain.

"Puff puff."

A pool of black mist suddenly burst out.

Ding Yan, the man who held the curtain, was very alert. In the blink of an eye, he retreated in time, much to the pain of the guard who followed behind.

The bat transformed by the ghost energy directly sucked it into the human body, and easily lost its life.

At the same time, Ding Yan, who had avoided the blow, reacted and immediately counterattacked. The light flashed quickly and he struck straight at the soft sedan.

Stab!

The sword slashed across.

The sedan immediately turned into debris and flew in all directions. The civil servant sitting inside was also broken at the waist. Strangely, not a drop of blood was spilled in the whole process.

Baihu, who had caused such a big commotion, had no joy on his face. His eyes kept moving, as did his steps, constantly looking for traces of ghosts, and shouted:

"Array up! Don't let the ghosts escape."

More than a hundred soldiers immediately formed a fighting formation.

Because the tricks originally used on the battlefield are also effective against such ghosts. As long as one person is injured, the surrounding soldiers will attack him immediately.
Chapter completed!
