Horses neighed, the night wind was shrill, and a nightmarish battle unfolded on the long street.
The sword wind passed through the chaos, and the front legs of the running war horse were cut off at high speed. Blood spurted into the air, rolling rumblingly on the road. When the war horse rolled over, another guard's face was in front of him.
Blood and pieces of flesh flew out from behind, and the rest of the people rushed forward bravely, and the steel knife and chest were chopped apart.
The woman's figure rushed at high speed, and five or six personal guards staggered to block her, but they were completely unable to stop her progress. The slightly clumsy long sword kept looking for gaps between the intertwined sharp edges, drawing out blood lines.
, as the screams echoed towards the path ahead, the woman was already covered in blood in the dark night. However, at this time, Song Xian, who wanted to escape, was forced to the end of the road with a huge sense of oppression.
The speed of both sides was astonishing no matter how fast they were on the long street. The guards who wanted to stop the woman's pursuit rushed forward and left. Song Xian was also running away at this time. A guard suddenly inserted from the front, trying to stop the next woman.
The woman chased him, and the next moment, the sword light suddenly pulled down from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, his body flew out like a cannonball, and his blood exploded like a huge flower.
The sword light coming from both sides tore through the air. The woman lowered her body and drew a line of blood on the thigh of the man on the left. She stood up in a spin, grabbed the back of the man on the left's head, and pulled
He smashed his head into the face of the person coming from the right, picked up a steel knife and threw it forward.
Song Xian had already run a few meters away and reached out to grab the reins of an approaching war horse. The rotating steel knife slashed across his waist and embedded itself in the galloping horse's calf. In the bloody light, the connection between the man and the horse was blurred.
The body rolled forward almost at the same time, and there was a fight behind him. Just as he got up from the ground, in his field of vision, the woman's figure was approaching again with fierce blood.
"You fucking lunatic—"
boom--
The fire burst out, and Song Xian's figure was sent flying again. His back had reached the corner of the wall. The surrounding guards could not stop the woman for even a second before she raised her head, and the clumsy sword edge was tilted towards his head.
It came with a slash. He tilted his head, and the sword edge rolled out a large amount of earth and rocks in the wall. Before the lingering fear in his heart arose, in Song Xian's eyes, the woman's right fist suddenly enlarged.
With a bang, my head shook, and the back of my head hit the wall behind me. My vision trembled, and blood flew out. Time seemed to slow down, but my reaction was not necessarily faster. The figures rushing up and the sounds of fighting were in this trembling blood.
The scene became extremely distant. The woman turned around and slashed the bodyguard who rushed forward with a sword. He raised the sword subconsciously, but his gaze had already turned back.
The arm was swung out, but the knife that was supposed to cut into the woman's body did not appear. Blood spurted from the severed wrist. The arm holding the knife flew in the sky and hit the guards behind. The woman's right hand
The elbow seemed to use the whole force of his body to hit his face, and the darkness magnified.
Bang buzz buzz buzz——
He didn't know what happened, but then the third impact hit him again. The wall blocking him behind him disappeared from his consciousness, and he flew up...
The carriage stopped at the corner of this section of the road. Not long after Ning Yi arrived, he stood in the darkness under the tree and looked at the scene at the end of the long street.
He did not see the whole fighting process, but the mess on the long street could already explain all the problems. The wreckage of two carriages, corpses, blood, and horses with their legs chopped off fell to the ground, struggling.
, wailing, such traces of battle extend across the entire long street, and the most shocking thing is the battle scene in the last section.
Song Xian originally joined the battle, but the pressure from the woman was too shocking. When Ning Yi came over, he was already ready to escape. But he couldn't escape, and most of the horses were injured, so he chose to fight on foot.
They tried their best to block the woman's pursuit, and the battle extended in that direction at an astonishing speed. But they still couldn't stop it. During the woman's attack, the flying blood almost never stopped. Among the guards, some were slightly injured.
Seriously injured... They rushed up from the surroundings and were thrown away until Song Xian was caught up at the end of the long street.
Boom, boom, boom - three times in a row, and then the entire wall at the other end of the long street collapsed in sight... A brick flew over, hit a person on the head hard, and turned into powder.
Damn, the battle is still going on...
"That's it, that's it..."
In the darkness, Ning Yi murmured, then adjusted his breathing and let out a long sigh of relief.
"This is what I want..."
After watching the battle for a moment, there was no need to watch anymore. The soldiers who came to support may have arrived soon. Ning Yi turned around and walked towards the carriage. Then he looked at a horse not far away.
Ning Yi stood alone at the junction of light and darkness. The knight on the horse was dead and blood was dripping down. Ning Yi walked over and touched his arms, took out a bamboo tube for setting off fireworks and put it into his arms, and then
Look around. There may be some scattered households on the other side of the long street, but there are none here. Could anyone see him here? Then he returns to the carriage, quietly turns around, and runs away.
"...This is the final struggle. If we unite until tomorrow, we will definitely...achieve..."
His fingers were tapping lightly and rapidly on the carriage, and he was calculating in his mind the possible pursuit layout of the nearby streets. He was casually humming the song he remembered, and the fire was shining brightly on his face. At this time, he was
What emerged there was a smile that was completely different from usual, and there was an indescribable wildness in the modest appearance.
I don't know how many opportunities there are. After all, there are too many changes, or it may lead to some troubles. But at this time, he has already determined that he wants that thing and wants to get it...
If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Fireworks soared in the city streets, and more often than not, there was the rapid sound of gongs.
It was a chaotic night.
When most of the people who came back from Bailuzhou entered Jiangning City, the chaotic noise here had already affected half of the city. The military soldiers and government officials who came here were busy chasing the people who were rushing around the city.
The female assassin had several fights, and several people were killed and injured. When the residents returning to the city spread towards this side, the female assassin probably wanted to escape towards the crowd, but she originally followed Chen Yong
The elite group of military elites also came over there, forcing her to go to the relatively quiet city on the other side.
The woman should have been seriously injured, but her fighting ability is still strong. If she is not a guy who feels good about himself, he will basically not dare to fight her. The average government servant will chase her with gongs and drums. After all, there are many people to pursue.
, the woman fought left and right, but could never completely disappear.
This night is different from the night on Yuanxi. There are not many people on the streets here. The woman is also too stubborn tonight. Unlike the night on Yuanxi, she left immediately after being injured. In that situation, she
She went all out to kill Song Xian, and she was also seriously injured. It was difficult for her to form an ideal hiding spot here. There was no curfew in the Wu Dynasty. Although most people just stayed behind closed doors when they saw the fireworks and heard the gongs and drums, there were still people at night.
There were some idle people wandering around. Ning Yi drove a carriage and wandered around the edge of the situation. On the contrary, he had an advantage. Occasionally he met soldiers and Yamen servants, exchanged a few words, or left in a hurry, ignoring him.
Humming along the way, he walked in circles between several blocks, watching the chaos coming from the distance. He used his fingers to calculate the possible direction of each group of people he saw, the general situation in the entire area, and the location of the woman.
It is very difficult to establish a relationship with her. If I drive there now, it will be very simple to meet the woman, but it is meaningless. If I offer to help her, this is the most likely situation.
She was killed at the first opportunity. You can't take the initiative in these matters. You can only find a specific environment and let the other party take the initiative. Only then can you have room to reveal your intentions.
Calculations about people's hearts are always quite complicated. Even if he still has a team of staff just like in his previous life, he can't say he is sure at this time. Now that he is alone, he can only do it with the mentality of giving it a try.
There are several blocks in the city that should be ideal. However, in this short period of time, he probably misjudged the direction of the woman's running twice. One of them was an opportunity that could be used, but unfortunately he missed it. About ten
Minutes later, he saw a possibility in the occasional incident.
The carriage galloped along the long street to the west of the city, and arrived at a secluded alley. The sound of gongs came quickly from a distance, followed by the sound of fighting. The woman pushed through the chaos and came this way.
At a certain moment, the visible chaos disappeared again. Ning Yi counted the time, took out the fireworks bamboo tube, pulled off the lid, and a group of signal fireworks rose into the sky and lit up in the night sky. Then he waved his riding whip and let
The carriage left here at high speed and headed to a nearby neighborhood.
Theoretically speaking, the direction of the female assassin's escape has been limited for the time being. As long as she can get there in advance, it is possible for her carriage to become an ideal bait, and she may be able to get on with a 30% certainty.
Then there would be the possibility of making some deals... After running for two blocks, a group of government officials rushed from the front. When they saw him, they suddenly stopped him.
Oops……
If the fighting in the distance was still going on at this time, these government officials would not pay attention to him. But at this time, the trace of the woman disappeared temporarily, and Ning Yi had no choice but to stop the car and let the other party search. The carriage was carrying the consort.
Of course, these government officials would not make things difficult for them. After checking, they would immediately put in a good word and let her go, but a lot of time had passed. When Ning Yi moved forward, the woman's position was already beyond where he expected.
.
Accidents often happen, and Ning Yi has long understood that, but it happened now, which made him feel a bit regretful. Having used up the fireworks tube, he no longer had the chance to control the direction of the woman's running. Soon after, the direction of the woman's running continued.
Moving to the east, Ning Yi drove slowly away from the dangerous central area. Going over there was meaningless. Even if he could really save the woman, he might not be able to avoid the inspections of the military soldiers and government officials. The difference between danger and benefit
If the ratio is extremely skewed, then there is no need to take risks.
What a pity, I don’t know if I can meet such a powerful guy again...
With this in mind, he headed back towards the Su Mansion. The chaos behind him was silent for a long time. When another fireworks signal and gong sound caught his attention, he suddenly discovered that the chaos was pushed back again...
On a relatively secluded lakeshore in the west direction of the city, Ning Yi drove the carriage through the road on the lakeshore. On one side were the quiet lakes and trees, and on the other side was a high-walled compound with lanterns hung on it. Occasionally, one or two people could be seen on the road.
A pedestrian, probably coming back from the Flower Festival.
Far behind the carriage, a group of military soldiers were bypassing the road and seemed to be coming this way. At the other end of the fork in front of the carriage, there were also government officials patrolling towards the fork here. Ning Yi recalled the location of the fight not long ago.
, he stopped the carriage quietly on the roadside near the crossing, got out of the car, and stretched himself.
On the dark shore of the lake, the woman was wrapped in a black cloth, quietly lurking in the deep grass under the trees, adjusting her breathing, trying to be as quiet as possible to prevent the blood on her body from leaving too many traces, and waited patiently for a few days.
The converging teams of searchers passed by.
The carriage stopped not far from her hiding place, and then she saw the charioteer get out of the carriage, stretch his body, and walk towards the lake, humming a strange and leisurely tune, lowering his head to search in the grass.
