A catastrophe was averted, and Tan Qigu was in a good mood. He joked with Chen Cangman: "Old Chen, if this snow silk coat of yours catches fire, I think you will be burned to death and you won't be willing to take it off."
"
Chen Cangman ignored his joke and concentrated on directing the firefighting.
I don't know when some spectators had gathered outside the courtyard, cheering for the fire, and strange screams kept coming and going. Xiqujing Xiu was originally worried about the chaos in the world. In the past six months, everyone has been sitting in Xiqu City with nothing to do.
, I have long been bored, and when I see the fire, it is like a grand party.
"What a big fire, flaming happiness, your light is in my heart, warming my heart!" Someone else sang loudly.
Taking pleasure in misfortune is a characteristic of Xiqu City. Tan Qigu has not been in Xiqu for a long time and is not very used to the customs and customs here, so his face is a bit ugly.
The artistic conception of rain and snow is the traditional strength of Huizhen Pavilion. Most of the guards present have practiced it. At this time, following Chen Cangman's command, they were weaving artistic conceptions. It seemed that there was suddenly pouring rain and snow, and all kinds of ice fell in the sky above the small building.
The rainwater poured down continuously.
It's just that a sufficient amount of oil was added at the beginning. Although the ignition time was not long, the fire was already quite fierce.
Fortunately, there was plenty of rain and snow, and with the continuous pouring of dozens of water elements, after a brief stalemate, the fire was finally brought under control, and the fire became smaller and smaller.
The cheers outside immediately turned into curses. It was a little after four o'clock at this time, and it was a time for deep sleep. However, the fire in Huizhen Pavilion was quite spectacular and attracted many onlookers. Unfortunately,
Unfortunately, the fire went out as quickly as it came and was extinguished in a short time, much to the disappointment of the onlookers.
A few sporadic fireballs flew in through the night sky, apparently intending to set fire, but under the pouring rain, these sporadic fireballs were quickly extinguished.
The flames gradually subsided, and when he saw that what was once a small building with carved beams and painted beams had turned into a crumbling black appearance, Chen Cangman felt heartbroken. He kept sighing and said: "Don't be stunned. Check carefully, brick by brick."
Don't leave any tiles behind. Even though it's been burned, there are still many intact things inside."
Tan Qixiu shouted from the side: "Clean the bodies carefully, those are our former colleagues."
So all the guards rolled up their sleeves and were about to get into the building, when the building creaked and slowly collapsed.
Wu Ma Xi and Zhao Tieban were already half-smoked to death, but as soon as the fire subsided, they immediately regained some of their energy. When the building collapsed, they were lucky enough to suffer any damage, but their whole bodies turned into darkness. Soon those people
The guards also got into the ruins. In the swirling dust and smoke, each one was painted like black carbon, allowing the two of them to blend in easily.
The two of them retreated while rescuing the disaster, and soon they retreated to a bunch of flowers. Wu Maxi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she reached out and dug into the soil under the flowers, and found out the elephant hidden there.
Ring, he turned his wrist and stuffed it into his arms.
After knowing that she could not escape that day, Wu Maxi specially shouted "Old Wang, hurry up" in order to create an opportunity to hide the elephant ring.
Under the command, a group of guards transported some burned furniture and utensils out of the middle door. Wu Ma Xi and Zhao Tieban also held a piece of burnt furniture each, and flowed out of the middle door. Not long after, they
Leave the team.
The two of them did not dare to stay here any longer. They passed through the wall of people gathered around to watch the visitors, walked through several streets and alleys, found a secluded place, took out the clothes from the elephant ring and changed into them.
Zhao Tieban looked at Wu Ma Xi's elephant ring, secretly envious in his heart, and the light in his eyes flickered. An elephant ring is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and this does not include the collection inside. The pretty girl industry is indeed very promising.
After disposing of his belongings, Wu Maxi casually took out three bearer money cards worth one million gold coins from the elephant ring, handed them to Zhao Tieban, and said: "This is done, the cooperation is over." After that, he turned and left.
Zhao Tieban stood blankly holding three money cards, watching Wu Ma Xi's back getting further and further away, the evil thoughts that had been suppressed for a long time burst out uncontrollably, and a raging fire was woven into shape in the dark night,
With the blessing on himself, he rushed towards Wuma Xi.
Wu Ma Xi had already understood Zhao Tieban's character, so she was naturally prepared early in the morning. The talisman-patterned leopard jumped out of the elephant ring in an instant, and was driven by the corpse curse to fight with Zhao Tieban.
They collided and flew away, crashing into each other like two meteors.
The two artistic conceptions exploded, and their power swept across half of the alley in an instant. The rune-patterned leopard lost its momentum and fell. Zhao Tieban also swayed, and was about to rush forward in one go, when the rune-patterned leopard at his feet got up again and hit him.
On Zhao Tieban's abdomen, he was knocked away. The rune-patterned leopard shook its head and walked leisurely back to Wuma Xi's feet.
Zhao Tieban sat at the foot of the wall, vomited a mouthful of blood, and cursed the pretty boy in his heart.
Half a year ago, this kid was just a loser, and he could do whatever he wanted. Unexpectedly, half a year later, the status of both parties had undergone such a huge change. He got this whole thing by eating soft food!
Wu Maxi said to Zhao Tieban: "You don't need to try to make me think, I will show you a clear path."
"What the hell is there a way out?" Zhao Tieban said.
Wu Maxi didn't take it seriously and said: "The girl wearing the Dragon Chanting Lock is Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter. You can leave the city immediately and inform Grandmaster Wen of the news here. I don't need to tell you what benefits you can get.
!”
In fact, it was not that Wu Maxi had not thought about killing Zhao Tieban and snatching back the three million gold coins, but that oath made him worry about gain and loss. Ruyi was too important to him, so he would rather believe it than have it.
Believe it or not. Besides, asking Zhao Tieban to deliver the letter can also increase the chance of winning the situation in Xiqu City.
Zhao Tieban thought about it for a moment and realized that there was indeed much to be done in this matter. Considering Wen Cangyuan's identity, the benefits must be indispensable. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt aggrieved again. Why did you, the pretty face, abduct his granddaughter, while I just
Can you only do errands?
He raised his head and looked at Wu Ma Xi's face. He was pretty good-looking, but there were so many handsome guys in the Tianshu Continent. This guy was able to seduce Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter. It can only be said that he was so successful at being a pretty boy.
.
This is fate! It’s like two heavens meeting the Supreme Being on a gambling table, it’s all fate!
Zhao Tieban is a man who accepts his fate and said angrily: "Little pretty face, have you lost that Xia Ye Ying Yu?"
"Do you still want to go to Yanliu Pavilion to try your luck?" Wu Maxi asked back. Zhao Tieban called him a pretty boy many times, but Wu Maxi didn't have any objection, and instead felt a little happy and sweet.
"Fuck you!" Zhao Tieban got up, turned around and walked towards the end of the alley, "It's all your own stuff anyway, I don't care if you throw it away or not."
Wu Maxi looked at Zhao Tieban's back and was filled with emotions. Looking at this back half a year ago, she felt so powerless at the time. Now, she can easily step on him. This hurdle has been passed, and the next one will come.
Where is the hurdle?
He exhaled, his eyes became sharp again, mounted the rune leopard, and quickly ran towards the direction of the Ross Emperor Regiment. If Ruyi stayed with the Ross Regiment for a moment longer, he would be in more danger. He wanted to rescue Ruyi before dawn.
.
At this time, in Huizhen Pavilion, a circle of people stood around the ruins, all with solemn expressions.
Chen Cangman counted the number of people and corpses again, but there were still two missing. After carefully checking the characteristics and waistbands on the corpses, it was determined that all the corpses present belonged to Huizhen Pavilion insiders. In other words, the two fugitives were very likely to be missing.
May have escaped.
Tan Qigu's face was ashen, he didn't say a word for a long time, and suddenly his voice was hoarse: "Ji Qingshi and Si Ying haven't been found yet?"
Jiao Tong said: "Not yet, because it's too dark and there's no way for people to go out and search, so we can only wait for them to come back on their own."
"You bastard, you traitor!" Tan Qigu yelled, "I knew these two people were unreliable, yet I let such an important person run away in the blink of an eye."
Everyone around them was silent. Although everyone knew that these two people were not rescued by Ji Qingshi and Si Ying, but if such a big mistake happened, someone had to be found to take responsibility. Ji Qingshi and Si Ying disappeared for no reason.
The best choice.
However, someone has to shoulder the responsibility, and how the next thing ends is the most important thing.
The disaster this time was really too big. This plan was originally just to involve Taiyin, but unfortunately, the matter has already involved Wen Cangyuan, the boss of the Cha family. Due to a misunderstanding, everyone kidnapped Wen Cang
Yuan's granddaughter, and she even had the guts to send her to the Ross Regiment. Is it necessary for Wen Cangyuan to know about this?
Everyone has been thinking of ways to prevent the news from leaking out, but who knew that the two people who were locked up in prison would suddenly escape?
The new guy is a little better, and he probably doesn't know much, but Zhao Tieban is a prison veteran. He has lived in Huizhen Pavilion for half a year, so he probably knows everything clearly.
As soon as the news spreads at dawn, Huizhen Pavilion will be cannibalized by the Tuanlian immediately. Not to mention, if the news reaches the Cha family, the entire southwestern branch of Huizhen Pavilion will be wiped out.
Tan Qixiu has thought clearly about the ins and outs of these things. Now there is only one way, and that is - run! And it must pass through Mimengze. Only when you reach the Central Plains, this life will be yours.
He turned around and ordered Jiao Tong and Chen Cangman beside him: "Take all the important items and prepare to go to the secret stronghold."
When Xiqu City Huizhen Pavilion opened, the seniors seemed to have foreseen such a situation today and had already prepared a hiding place. However, the place was not big and could not accommodate so many Huizhen Pavilions.
It seems that the members can only imitate the gecko's tail-cutting method to survive.
Tan Qigua called the guard captain Zhang Xian to him and said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will take everyone out of the city and go all the way east..." At this point, Tan Qigua stopped, although the southwest
However, it seems that there is no place for these people anymore. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Go to the Southwest Branch and join the main force."
…
In Helaizhan, not far from Huizhen Pavilion, in an upper room on the second floor, Ji Qingshi sat with a solitary lamp. Under the light, the wrinkles on his face were more profound and vicissitudes than ever before.
On the bed behind him, Si Ying woke up slowly and tried to get up, but he touched the wound on his left arm and couldn't help but hum.
When Ji Qingshi heard the noise, he turned around, stood up and walked to the bed, saying, "Girl, don't move. Your hand has just been straightened, and it will take a few days to grow properly."
Si Ying lay down slumped and asked: "Uncle Ji, how is Huizhen Pavilion?"
"I don't know," Ji Qingshi's tone was full of desolation and decadence, "The leak this time was really too big. The girl they arrested is Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter."
Si Ying immediately changed her mind. She originally thought she was just provoking Tai Yin, but she didn't expect that she would be related to Wen Cangyuan. The matter was much more serious than previously imagined. She calmed down and asked: "How could this happen?
So? Why is Wen Cangyuan involved?"
"This incident was really an accident. No one thought that the girl's identity would be so sensitive." Ji Qingshi sighed, "Originally, when we saw so many top-quality talismans on the girl, everyone felt that something was wrong. But they couldn't stand it.
Tan Qiqiu persisted and forcibly kidnapped the person into Huizhen Pavilion. Later, we got the news and found out that she was Wen Cangyuan's granddaughter. But at that time, Xiqu City had already been turned upside down, and we had no choice but to take action. We had to follow the instructions
Plan to send the girl to Ross overnight."
"Will this matter be exposed?" Si Ying's face was a little pale, and his blood-red eyes were fixed on Ji Qingshi, hoping to get a reassuring answer.
"I always feel that this matter is full of holes, and I can't fix it no matter what." Ji Qingshi sighed, feeling confused. Even if he could fix it, in order to kill people and silence them, insiders like himself would surely die in the end.
He tucked Si Ying into a quilt and seemed to be enjoying the remaining time he had.
He took out a storage bag and placed it on Si Ying's pillow, saying: "Girl, the Xiqu branch can no longer accommodate you. Go to Hongzhou. There is a letter in the storage bag. Take it to Yong at the headquarters.
Wo Jia, he is my friend and will definitely take good care of you."
"Uncle Ji, come with me." Si Ying took Ji Qingshi's old left hand, eyes filled with tears.
"Alas! Why should I die in a foreign country with such an old bone?" Ji Qingshi held Si Ying's right hand with his bark-like hands. Warmth spread between the palms, and then he stuffed the delicate palm back.
He got off the quilt, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Ji, is Xiao Liuzi dead?" Si Ying's voice came from behind.
Ji Qingshi paused for a moment, let out a long sigh, opened the door and walked out.
Si Ying looked at the slowly closing door, and in his bloody eyes, two lines of blood and tears finally fell down uncontrollably.dd
