Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Chapter 202

Because of this accident, the market changed from a few pedestrians to a sea of ​​people in a short time. The common people surrounded the place, and everyone rushed to watch the excitement after hearing the news.

Yin Qiu jumped off the horse, looked at Duan Ning with both surprise and joy, and said, "Miss Duan... why did you come to Shangyuan City?"

How could Duan Ning have the time to pay attention to her?Seeing that the girl by the wall was covered in blood, her eyes were closed tightly, and Ji Wanshu was still pinching her, Duan Ning's heart was more than half cold.

"It's over, it's over, I killed someone. Although my family is the richest man in Yao Dingcheng, money can make ghosts grind, but money can't bring people back to life... I'm going to jail!"

Ji Wanshu had heard enough of Duan Ning's startled and nonsense yelling on the way these days, so he said impatiently: "No one is dead."

Duan Ning said angrily: "I was going to be imprisoned at a young age, and I ran over and killed someone before I saw Meng Jing. I... huh? Didn't I die?!"

Wen Chaoyu bent down to look at the girl, and saw that although she was hit with nosebleeds and looked choked up, she hadn't fainted yet, but she couldn't catch her breath, so she gestured to Duan Ning and said: " Don't worry, you are still alive, so you won't be sent to see the official."

Duan Ning immediately heaved a sigh of relief as if he had received an amnesty, and got off his horse, asking Yin Qiu, "Who is she? What are you two doing to jump off a building?"

"She is with the disciples of the hidden guard," Yin Qiu said, "just now they wanted to capture me alive."

Duan Ning immediately looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Why are you so hated? First someone wanted to kill you, and now someone wants to capture you alive. How many enemies do you have?"

Ji Wanshu was still wiping the blood off the girl's face, when he heard Yin Qiu's words, he threw away the handkerchief in his hand, and said coldly: "That's really a coincidence, Zhengchou didn't have a direction to look down. Check this group of people, and now they have taken the lead," she turned her head, "what's the matter with you?"

Yin Qiu said with a little complacency: "I'm fine. I called a few at a time, and they didn't take any of the cheap money."

Unexpectedly, after she said this, she felt dizzy all of a sudden. Seeing this, Wen Zhaoyu hurriedly supported her, and asked, "I just said I'm fine, but I couldn't stand upright immediately, where is the injury?"

Yin Qiu leaned in her arms, rubbed her temples and said, "Oops, I'm so dizzy, I feel like I'm going to faint..."

"What's that thing on your face?" Wen Chaoyu leaned over and smelled it, "It doesn't smell much."

Yin Qiu couldn't answer, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

"I'm really dizzy!" Duan Ning yelled, "Smell your medicine for her quickly! Just the one you gave me that night in Mingyue Tower!"

She didn't need to say, Wen Zhaoyu had already taken out the medicine bottle from his bosom, and quickly brought it to the tip of Yin Qiu's nose. Yin Qiu inhaled the smell of the medicine, and not long after, he woke up with trembling eyelashes.

Yin Qiu said: "Ah... this should be a drug."

Wen Chaoyu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I can see it. Fortunately, you didn't inhale much, otherwise I would have to ask me to carry you back."

Duan Ning wiped Yin Qiu's face with his handkerchief, and Ji Wanshu touched the girl's acupuncture points by the wall, and said in a deep voice, "Don't pretend to be dead, who is behind you? Tell me!"

The girl sneered: "Do you think I'll tell you?" She said, whistled loudly, and continued, "We had expected that Yin Qiu might not be captured alive so easily, so I arranged a subordinate in advance Hiding nearby, as long as he hears the signal from me, he will immediately return to the palace to spread the word, even if you rush back now, it will be too late, my master will leave before you, you can never catch him!"

"That's not necessarily the case," Yin Qiu said, "don't be so conceited, I've been down the mountain for so long, and my uncle hasn't come to Shangyuan City, maybe she saw through your tricks and didn't go down the mountain to look for you. Me, your people may not be able to be one step faster than the uncle."

"Then we'll wait and see." The girl was not worried about Yin Qiu's words, but still said arrogantly, "As long as Man Jiangxue hears that you have been lured out of the palace, it is impossible for her not to come to you. If he didn't show up, maybe he was stopped by my master's other arrangements. In short, you people should give up, including Meng Wugui and Nangong Min, don't even try to find him!"

Before Ji Wanshu could do anything, Duan Ning was already furious. He knocked him out on the spot with a whip, and cursed: "Talk nonsense to her! Tie it up!"

Wen Zhaoyu pulled out a ball of hemp rope from under the saddle, and Duan Ning quickly tied up the girl and threw it on the horse.The four of them were about to rush to the palace when they suddenly heard someone shouting from the periphery of the crowd: "Why are you gathering here! Get out of the way!"

The onlookers immediately gave way, and a group of officials came in front, with a few Yunhua disciples among them, seeing Yin Qiu and the others, those disciples quickly turned around and called out, "Senior Sister Lu! Come here quickly!"

The officials shouted and dispersed the people to both sides of the market. Lu Huaiwei hurried over from behind the crowd. She was overjoyed to see Ji Wanshu and Wen Chaoyu at first, but then she was startled when she saw Yin Qiu.

"Xiaoqiu... why are you here?"

Yin Qiu looked behind her and asked, "The senior sisters have all gone down the mountain, has the senior uncle come?"

"I still want to ask you, why did you come to the city without saying a word?" Lu Huaiwei said, "I asked my uncle where you were when I went down the mountain, and she said that you went to Wenxin Peak to visit Meng Jing. Uncle also said that he wanted to look for you, if you leave the palace so silently, Uncle Shi will be worried!"

Yin Qiu said: "I did go to Wenxin Peak, but around noon, Bai Ling came to me and said that my uncle told me to come with her to patrol the city, so I came."

"Nonsense! The uncle didn't explain it like that at all," Lu Huaiwei's eyes changed a little, "Then what's going on... Who is the person who is tied up immediately?"

Yin Qiu then briefed everything that had happened before, and Lu Huaiwei became more and more frightened as she listened to it. She did not expect that Yin Qiu had been deceived to this point, and had gone through such dangers alone.At this time, Lu Huaiwei didn't bother to ask why Ji Wanshu came back so soon, and said: "I have arranged the matters explained by the uncle according to the drawings, but the uncle has not gone down the mountain yet, she Could it be that he was designed to stop him halfway?" After speaking, he immediately rushed to a disciple beside him and said, "Hurry back to the palace! There is no need to worry about the uncle, but no one can hurt her. When you leave, you must guard all parts of the palace as soon as possible after you return, and you must not let anyone leave easily!"

The disciple took the order, quickly got on his horse and ran away, while the other disciples took the girl under custody.The defensive arrangement in the mountain has been properly arranged, only the people in the city have not been completely transferred, and the officials and disciples of Yunhua are working separately to evacuate the crowd in an orderly manner.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, Bai Ling was still standing on the city wall. When he saw them coming, he jumped down and said happily, "Senior Sister Ji is back?" Maybe he saw that these people looked at her slightly. Kindly, Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then asked again, "You don't look right, is something wrong?"

Lu Huaiwei was the first to ask, "You sent Xiao Qiu down the mountain?"

"Yeah," Bai Ling looked left and right, puzzled, "Uncle Master ordered, is there a problem?"

"When did the uncle give the order?" Lu Huaiwei said, "She was at Jingyue Peak all morning, and then went to the Mingguang Palace to discuss with me, and I arranged for you to go down the mountain before she arrived at the Mingguang Palace. You haven't even met face to face, what did your uncle tell you?"

Bai Ling saw that her expression was dignified and her tone was not as gentle as usual, so she couldn't help saying seriously, "It wasn't my uncle who ordered me personally. When I was going down the mountain, a female disciple ran over to pass the word, saying that my uncle wanted me to take Xiaoqiu with me." Get up and patrol the city to see if there is any sign that Meng Wugui has sent someone, after hearing this, I went directly to ask Xinfeng to find Xiaoqiu."

Lu Huaiwei asked quickly: "Who is that female disciple?"

"I... don't know each other," Bai Ling said, "There are so many people in the palace, and not all faces are recognized, but she has our Liuli Peak badge on her body, so I thought she was a junior sister from some face." , didn’t think much about it. Didn’t Xiaoqiu see it too? When we were at the gate of the palace, she even gave you clothes for my uncle.”

Yin Qiu glanced at her and said, "That's what happened. If she hadn't brought the clothes, I would have gone to Mingguang Palace to talk to my uncle before leaving."

Naturally, Bai Ling could see that they were questioning him, but he reacted quickly, and argued, "I did nothing wrong! Someone used me to spread lies!"

"It's obvious," Ji Wan said, "but I don't know if the uncle has gone down the mountain or not. We have to go back to the palace quickly, and you will follow. Now you are still a suspect, and I will keep an eye on you." , don't try to escape."

Bai Ling was the first and the second elder, and he didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of one day, but he also respectfully said: "I understand, I don't go anywhere, I will follow wherever the seniors go."

The people in the city were being evacuated, and Lu Huaiwei could not leave, so she had to stay and watch, while the rest of the people immediately walked towards the north gate leading to Yunhua Palace.

However, an accident happened again. They had just walked not far away when they heard a loud bang behind them. The two city gates were closed by someone at this moment, and the civilians and officials who had not yet had time to get out were blocked in an instant. in it.At the same time, a large number of men in black suddenly flew out from the buildings on both sides of the street, drew their swords without any explanation, and surrounded Yin Qiu and others in the center.

"They really have a second hand!" Wen Zhaoyu immediately took out the throwing knife, back to back with Ji Wanshu, "It's because we don't want us to rush back!"

Bai Ling still didn't know what happened to Yin Qiu in the incense powder shop, seeing this situation, he couldn't help saying in astonishment: "What's going on? Who are these people!"

Duan Ning said: "Nonsense! Of course they are the ones who want to kill you!" She only brought a whip, and she didn't have any weapons like swords. After she finished speaking, she hid behind Yin Qiu, "I am not as good as you, you Protect me a little bit!"

Yin Qiu remained silent, holding Zhu Bing in front of Duan Ning, Wen Chaoyu's throwing knife could cut throats and kill people without close combat, after hearing Duan Ning's words, he said: "Miss, follow me! Yin Qiu He Wanshu leads the battle, Bai Ling looks behind, let's go!"

After all, Yin Qiu and Ji Wanshu went head-to-head first, and fought with the men in black who swarmed over, while Bai Ling covered them from the side, preventing the men in black from approaching easily, and slashed one by one.Although Duan Ning didn't have a sword, she played with the whip slickly, caught someone's neck at the right time, and Wen Chaoyu took the opportunity to throw a throwing knife to kill the person, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

"Look! I'm still useful!" Duan Ning beamed with joy, and said loudly to Wen Zhaoyu, "You kill whoever I seduce, we are the best partners!"

Wen Chaoyu said, "Shut up!"

On the other side, Lu Huaiwei has also led his disciples to join the battlefield. Although there are many people in black, there are also many Yunhua disciples in the city, and there are also officials sent by the government to help. It is comparable in number.

The city became chaotic in an instant, and the innocent people who suffered the disaster ran away in a panic, screaming in fright, and the officials opened the city gate while disciple Yunhua was fighting with the man in black, and hurriedly sent the people out of the city.

Thunder roared, the sky was so gloomy that it seemed about to collapse, swords and swords were constantly flying around, blood splashed, people fell down one after another, and the casualties soon began to spread.

Ji Wanshu forced several people around him to retreat with sword intent, killed them one by one, and shouted, "Yin Qiu! You go back to the palace!"

Yin Qiu moved to the edge of the crowd, and was about to fight a bloody path to rush out, but saw the men in black suddenly withdrew their hands without warning, and turned to rush out of the city.Yin Qiu paused, and realized that they had attacked innocent people after leaving the city gate, so he followed Ji Wanshu and chased them out.

"How do I get here?" Yin Qiu asked anxiously, "I can't just leave him alone!"

"These bastards!" Bai Ling was furious, and cursed, "They want to use the lives of the common people to keep us from staying. It's really abominable!"

The crowd went from the inside of the city to the outside of the city. The men in black obviously knew that Yin Qiu and Ji Wanshu and others would not be able to hold back sooner or later, so they turned around and killed the unarmed people. Who can watch them die?Yin Qiu had to give up and rush back to the palace, and rushed out of the city to rescue the people, as much as he could save.

In a blink of an eye, Shangyuan City was empty, only blood and dead bodies were left on the ground, but the outside of the city was full of fighting and fighting.Lu Huaiwei originally wanted to lead a group of bow and arrow disciples to fly up to the city wall and kill the enemy with arrows, but the battle situation was too chaotic, everyone became a porridge in a pot, and they couldn't aim at the head at all. accidental injury.Lu Huaiwei had no choice but to give up, and led his disciples to send the rescued people back to the city, and locked them into the cellar of a nearby private house in a hurry, and sent his disciples to guard the entrance strictly, thus saving many people's lives.

"Miss, come here!" Wen Zhaoyu grabbed Duan Ning's whip and pulled her back, "You are useless, the palace might be safer than here, hurry up the mountain!"

Duan Ning originally wanted to refute, but when she thought that Meng Jing was still in the palace, her three-legged cat skills were not worth mentioning here, and it was more than enough to protect Meng Jing, so she flew up to the city wall and walked around the crowd to leave first. go.

Seeing her disappear from sight, Wen Zhaoyu let go of his hands and feet and dodged into the crowd to defend against the enemy with Ji Wanshu.Fortunately, after a fight, the man in black has suffered a lot of damage. Even Yunhua disciples were killed or wounded, but with Ji Wanshu, Yin Qiu and Wen Zhaoyu, the men in black were driven to death It's also just a matter of time.

The situation gradually improved, and the officials and disciples escorted the surviving people into the city as much as they could. Seeing that the situation was not good, and the goal had been achieved, the men in black had the heart to retreat, and stopped violently attacking. While retreating towards the woods.

"You don't have to chase everyone, just leave some people in the city!" Ji Wanshu paused, and said to Lu Huaiwei, "It's fine if you don't kill them cleanly. It's normal to go back to the palace first. I don't know that the palace is in chaos again." what happened."

Lu Huaiwei nodded: "I'll stay here to deal with the aftermath. You have been delayed for so long to go back to the palace. I don't know if that person has escaped. God bless... I hope my uncle can stop him."

A group of people chased after Lin Shen, and the remaining group followed Lu Huaiwei into the city to clean up the mess.Bai Ling was injured during the battle, and his arm was cut several times. Wen Chaoyu washed her briefly with wine, and said, "I can't care about this much anymore, bear with it, let's go!"

Ji Wanshu and Wen Zhaoyu entered the city at the same time, Bai Ling dared not lag behind, and followed closely.The three of them walked in front for a while without listening to Yin Qiu's movement. Looking back, Yin Qiu didn't even enter the city gate. She lay on the ground and listened attentively.

When Bai Ling saw her posture, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Isn't it? Don't tell me that there are still people coming!"

Ji Wanshu followed Yin Qiu's example and listened to the movement underground. When Wen Zhaoyu saw her frowning slightly, he knew that Bai Ling's words were right.

"It's not impossible for us to come back so quickly," Wen Zhaoyu said. "Her people were already on the road before us. If we find out the movement just now, we know that there was a fight here. As long as we don't return to our dream, If you have no problem with your brain, you will definitely bring someone here at this time."

Dark clouds covered the top, and the rain was slow to fall, only the spring thunder that sounded from time to time.Yin Qiu stood up, her white dress was not clean anymore, stained with blood and dust, she was standing at the gate of the city holding an ice-chaser, a gust of wind suddenly picked up in her sight, flying sand in the sky.

Soon on the horizon came a vast crowd of people.

The loud noise gradually coming from a distance attracted the attention of the disciples, and everyone's expressions changed when they saw this scene.

"Who is that?"

"Could it be that Hall Master Meng called over so soon?!"

"Quick! Get out of the city gate and assemble!"

……

The disciples had no time to rest, so they had to go back outside the city with their swords and firmly blocked the city gate.

"There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back," Lu Huaiwei said. "I knew that such a day would come, but I still didn't expect it to come so soon."

Ji Wanshu clenched the hilt of the sword, looked ahead and snorted coldly: "It seems that today is going to kill a lot."

The dust was flying, the hooves of the horse were deafening, and under the breathless gaze, the menacing horse stepped on the horizon and approached quickly.

A familiar figure broke into Yin Qiu's eyes.

The leader held the reins in his hand, and was wearing mourning clothes as white as paper, which was particularly conspicuous.

At such a moment, Yin Qiu saw the purse on her waist at a glance.

Wen Chaoyu looked at her from the sidelines, and asked, "Are you going back to the palace, or are you going to stay and fight?"

Yin Qiu remained silent.

She turned her head and looked over the crowded gate of the city towards the looming Yunhua Mountain in the distance.

Where did the uncle go?

After a while, Yin Qiu raised Zhu Bing and pointed far ahead.At the other end of the sword, the young woman in mourning slightly raised her hand, signaling the team behind to stop.

The eyes of the two collided across the raging wind and sand.

Yin Qiu threw the ground and said loudly: "I want to fight."
