The two men continued to fight fiercely, and when the fight reached more than 130 rounds, a guard came running from a distance, holding a strip-shaped baggage in his hand, which was Qin Lingsi's musket.
Qin Ling thought she had good bullets, so she didn't panic anymore. Even if Chang Yuchun was in danger later, she could always use her gun to save him!
At this moment, the situation changed again. Zhang Dingbian suddenly bullied Chang Yuchun into the entrance of Chang Yuchun's atrium. The two of them fought closely, and the situation became even more dangerous.
Chang Yuchun punched Zhang Dingbian in front of him. Zhang Dingbian spread his five fingers and bent them inward to hold the punch tightly. He grabbed the top of Chang Yuchun's head with his other hand and twisted it hard. Lan Xiangyu on the side let out an exclamation!
Qin Lingsi aimed at Zhang Dingbian's arm and was about to pull the trigger.
At this moment, a bright light flashed in Chang Yuchun's eyes, and his right fist hit Zhang Ding's left armpit from bottom to top.
Zhang Dingbian groaned and lost strength in his hands, but still held Chang Yuchun's head firmly and refused to let go.
At the same time, his other hand that grabbed Chang Yuchun's fist pulled it inward, bent it into an elbow, and hit Chang Yuchun's abdomen.
Chang Yuchun fought hard to receive a punch from the opponent, took the opportunity to pull out his fist, grabbed Zhang Dingbian's left wrist with his left hand, and held his left armpit with his right hand.
He turned around and threw Zhang Dingbian hard on the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
There was a loud "boom", and the whole ground seemed to shake violently!
After Zhang Dingbian was hit on the ground, he immediately rolled to the side to avoid Chang Yuchun's pursuing knee.
However, the blow just now made him dizzy, and when he stood up, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Naturally, Chang Yuchun would not miss this opportunity. He ducked behind Zhang Dingbian, hugged his waist, and threw him backwards again.
There was another loud noise, and Zhang Dingbian's head hit the ground hard.
Qin Lingsi and the Lan sisters cheered in unison!
Lan Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and she said happily: "I understand, Brother Chang just deliberately let the thief approach the atrium and fight him personally!"
When Ao Quan fights head-on with others, he can often gain an advantage due to his strong ability to resist blows.
Therefore, Chang Yuchun changed his fighting style, no longer fighting with him directly, but fighting him in close combat and using wrestling to deal with his strong physical ability.
No matter how hard a person's body is, it cannot be harder than the ground.
After Zhang Dingbian was thrown twice, he still did not completely lose his fighting strength. He rolled on the ground many times. When he got up, he grabbed a corpse and threw it towards Chang Yuchun.
As soon as Chang Yuchun dodged, he saw Zhang Dingbian turning around and running away. He seemed to have finally admitted defeat!
Lan Yu shouted loudly: "Dog thief, where can you escape!"
Chang Yuchun was taken aback and shouted: "Lanyu, come back!" He took a step forward and chased after her.
Zhang Dingbian, who was running, suddenly turned around, and at some point there was a scimitar in his hand. The light of the knife flashed strangely in the night, and it was slashed towards Lan Yu's neck.
Lan Yu's face changed drastically. Who would have thought that Zhang Dingbian could still be so fierce after being thrown twice by Chang Yuchun?
Just as he was trying to dodge, he suddenly heard a "bang" and Zhang Dingbian paused for a moment.
Chang Yuchun took the opportunity to step forward, stretched out his hand to grab the back of Lan Yu's neck, and pulled him back. At the same time, he turned around and kicked Zhang Dingbian away more than two feet!
Zhang Dingbian landed on the ground, roared like a beast, stood up tenaciously, and ran into the darkness.
Chang Yuchun was about to give chase when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned around and saw a group of city defense cavalry coming to the courtyard.
Qin Lingsi pointed to the direction in which Zhang Dingbian was escaping and shouted quickly: "The assassin has been injured and ran in that direction. He must be caught. He must be seen alive and his body must be seen dead!"
Qianhu, who was taking the lead, was startled when he heard the word "assassin". He quickly agreed and led his men in pursuit.
Chang Yuchun also wanted to chase him, but was pulled back by Lan Xiangyu.
"How are you?"
Chang Yuchun touched the abdomen that was hit just now, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Who is this person? I have never seen such a terrifying assassin!"
The Lan family siblings were also full of curiosity and looked at Qin Lingsi, but Qin Lingsi turned to look at Nie Hongniang.
When Nie Hongniang saw everyone looking at her, she sobbed: "The Nu family didn't know it, but he suddenly broke in, killed Dong'er, and then threatened me... Wuwuwu..."
Qin Ling thought blankly and said: "Who is Dong'er?"
Nie Hongniang pointed to the window on the third floor and cried: "It's the slave's maid, her body is still in the cabinet!"
Lan Yu said angrily: "This thief doesn't even let women go. I'm going to catch him!" He chased Zhang Dingbian in the direction of his escape.
Chang Yuchun couldn't worry about him and followed him.
Qin Lingsi walked to Wang Da, helped him up, and said, "Wang Da, how are you?"
Wang hissed and said, "A few bones may be broken!"
Qin Lingsi asked two guards to help him go to the medical center for treatment. He took the others back to Nie Hongniang's house and opened the cabinet. As expected, there was a corpse of a maid inside.
Qin Lingsi ordered people to carry the maid's body out, and asked Nie Hongniang: "You just said that he coerced you, what exactly did you mean?"
Nie Hongniang lowered her head and choked up: "He asked me to sit on the bed and not move. He only said that if Marshal Zhu wants to see me, he must not refuse!"
Qin Lingsi's eyes burned brightly as she asked, "Is the Marshal Zhu you are talking about Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Nie Hongniang nodded.
Qin Lingsi was already a little suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang, but after hearing what Nie Hongniang said, she became even more certain that this matter had something to do with him!
"What happened next? Did they say anything after Zhu Yuanzhang entered?" Qin Lingsi continued to ask.
Nie Hongniang shook her head and whispered: "Marshal Zhu didn't come, and I don't know why, but the one who came in was the Prime Minister of Polo Temple!"
Qin Lingsi's eyes turned cold and she glanced towards Boluo Buhua.
"Why did you break into Mr. Nie's house?"
Polo Buhua's face turned pale. He recalled that he had reached out and scratched under the quilt just now. He was filled with fear and said in a trembling voice: "I...I...just wanted to..."
Yahansha suddenly shouted: "Oh my God! Isn't this Sheshier?"
Qin Lingsi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that Yahansha was holding a scimitar in his hand, which was exactly the knife used by Zhang Dingbian just now.
"What do you want to give up?" she asked.
Yahansha hurriedly said: "Return to the master, this knife is called Sheshier, and it is a tribute from the Chachin Khanate to Tuohuan!"
Qin Lingsi was surprised and said: "You mean, this knife belongs to the Tatar Emperor?"
Yahansha looked solemn: "Yes!"
Bo Luo Buhua suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "I understand, I understand everything. That person is an assassin sent by Tuohuan, who wants to assassinate the two of us!"
Qin Lingsi glanced at him and said, "Will the Tatar Emperor send someone to assassinate you two?"
Polo Buhua hurriedly said: "Master, you don't know something. We are quite influential among the Mongolian nobles and have always been tabooed by Tuohuan!"
"Really?"
Yahansha and Polo Buhua have always had a tacit understanding. As soon as he heard him speak, he guessed his intention and hurriedly cooperated.
"That's right. Tuo Huan is afraid that if we continue to serve the king, more Mongolians will join us in the future, so he wants to get rid of me and then quickly!"
Qin Lingsi rolled her eyelids and said, "Okay, you better tell me about the situation of this knife!"
Polo Buhua said hurriedly: "This knife was originally a tribute from the Chachin Khanate to Tuohuan. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like clay. Later, Tuohuan gave it to Tuotuo!"
Qin Ling thought blankly and said: "So, the knife should be in Tuoduo's hand!"
Boluo Buhua said: "Tuotuo gave this knife to his brother Ye Xian. After Tuituo was dismissed as Prime Minister, Ye Xian was also arrested. Presumably the knife has been taken back by Tuohuan!"
Qin Lingsi couldn't stand it when he heard what he said, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that the man just now was really an assassin sent by the Tatars? But the assassin was obviously coming for Zhu Yuanzhang, why did the Tatars want to kill Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Polo Buhua added: "Actually, when the assassin was outside the Red Mansion, he planned to attack the two of us!"
Qin Lingsi changed her expression and said, "Is there still this thing? Please tell me carefully!"
Polo Buhua then told the story about the two meeting Zhang Dingbian outside.
He only said that he saw the man acting sneaky, so he went over to interrogate him, and never mentioned the need for a knife.
Qin Lingsi crossed her arms, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Then why didn't he take action against you then?"
Boluo Buhua puffed up his chest and said: "Both of us were on guard at the time. He couldn't succeed even if he wanted to, so he had to give up!"
Nie Hongniang suddenly whispered: "The Nu family feels that... the murderer is not aiming at you two!"
Boluo Buhua glared and said: "You are a woman, what do you know?"
Qin Lingsi said coldly: "I am also a womanizer. What do you mean, I don't understand anymore?"
Polo Buhua quickly apologized and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant..."
Qin Lingsi ignored him at all and asked Nie Hongniang: "Master Nie, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry!"
Nie Hongniang whispered: "If the murderer wanted to assassinate Bo Luo Si Cheng, he would have done it just now. If he held back, he must have another plan!"
