Chapter 136
Immediately, a masked man rushed out through the window, holding a long blade and was about to finish off the attack, but he saw Jiang Tian standing above the main hall. He couldn't help but be startled. He turned around and was about to shout something, but a head followed by a column of blood flying out. rise. The injured female crown was even more frightened and fell downstairs.
Then, Jiang Tian suddenly appeared on the top of the pavilion, listening carefully to the sounds of people chasing and screaming at his feet. Suddenly, with a thought, two flying blades hovering in the air like flowing water suddenly penetrated a window. A large ball of blood and screams burst out.
From the other end of the inner corridor, a dense stream of blood beads penetrated out. The next moment, Jiang Tian turned over and landed in the extension corridor of the pavilion below. In addition to several disheveled female crown corpses lying on the ground, there were also two masked men, one dead and one injured.
The injured masked man was covering the bleeding spot on his severed arm, stumbling away to the side; he was still shouting some unclear words. Then, the tendon of his heel was severed by the stream of light flying through the air, and he fell down and hit his head against the wall and passed out.
Then, Jiang Tian took a few steps to catch up to him and took off the scarf covering his face and head, but he revealed a face with a deep profile, resembling that of a foreigner; the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand when he heard the sound, and immediately He threw another masked man who sneaked up from the stairway into the air.
It hit the thick wooden siding with a loud bang, causing a circle of cracks; then it slid down and fell on the stairway, and after rolling down, there was no more sound. Next, there was only the last masked person left, and Jiang Tian couldn't help but thought silently in his heart:
However, as if in response to his thoughts, fierce crashing and breaking sounds suddenly came from the room inside. When Jiang Tian broke into it, he could only see a quiet room with incense burners, calligraphy and paintings, potted plants, etc. Inside, there was an obvious breach after being knocked out of the window, but no one was there.
Jiang Tian suddenly became wary, and turned sideways to let go of a sword that penetrated through the window. It instantly shattered the window frame, and headed towards Jiang Tian's facade like a poisonous snake flying through the window. . However, it paused for an instant and passed by Jiang Tian's ear in a zigzag manner.
The sneak attacker who couldn't succeed in the attack was shocked and wanted to draw his sword and retreat. However, he suddenly felt light and flew up out of thin air. He hit the broken window with his waist and let out a muffled grunt. He lost his support again and fell onto the window rail with his abdomen, staring and screaming.
The next moment, Jiang Tian, who held the purple electric stabbing sword in his hand, stabbed the man in a series of thrusts without hesitation, piercing through the man's shoulders and calves. He then hit the man on the back of the head with the hilt of the sword, and he immediately fainted with a painful groan. Jiang Tian then pulled off his lower cloth, but he was still a handsome man with a similar appearance to a foreigner.
After temporarily solving the threats and hidden dangers in the building, Jiang Tian also began to search for possible clues and scenes in this large quiet room amid the flashing task prompts. However, the furnishings here are too simple, with only a few futons, smokers, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
The four walls are so transparent that you can see almost everything at a glance, and there is no place for anyone to hide. However, the task prompt in the field of vision did not disappear, but instead flickered more and more obviously. According to Jiang Tian's judgment, this was also because the task node was nearby.
So he began to search the objects in the room again, tearing open the futon, overturning the smoker and dumping it on the ground, and knocking down the shelf with potted plants to see if there were any hidden objects. Finally, he came to the innermost side of the quiet room, in front of a hanging banner signed "Zheng Sanbian".
The next moment, he discovered something was wrong on the banner. Why did the word "net" appear to be three o'clock in the middle of the banner? The next moment, he discovered that it was not an ink dot, but a blood mark pressed by his hand. The next moment, he suddenly slashed down with his sword, and half of the banner fell down.
Behind the banner was a frame stained with blood. As he thrust the tip of the sword downwards and slashed hard, cutting off some obstruction, the back panel naturally opened inwards, revealing a narrow compartment, and at the end of a blood trail, the female crown collapsed in the corner.
However, this well-maintained female crown, who looked to be in her forties or fifties, had a pale face and was covering her waist wound, with a large pool of blood flowing and soaking under her body; when she saw the woman wearing a mask and holding a Jiang Tian, who was armed with a sharp sword, showed an expression of despair and resignation and murmured:
"You...you still found me?..."
"After so many years, I have changed my appearance and can't hide in the world...why can't I."
"Is this my retribution? Haha, from the beginning of working for you, I will inevitably receive retribution..."
"But I have tried hard to meditate, eat vegetarian food, and manage this place well, taking in the poor and weak, just hoping to redeem myself..."
However, Jiang Tian was moved in his heart. He didn't say anything or respond. He just stood upright, holding the sword, and looked at her silently. Hearing her sounding like she was feeling sorry for herself or confessing, she was mumbling in detail a bunch of bullshit. Dirty things, as well as past and personal names that sound unclear.
When the middle-aged female crown began to have blurred vision and confusion due to bleeding, Jiang Tian suddenly said: "What about Princess Zhenzhu?"
However, when he heard this word, the middle-aged female crown was shocked and suddenly said with horror: "You... you... how dare you, how dare you mention this name again? I didn't know that people would die, many people would die. , even those people behind you can’t bear it.”
"Then who do you think you are?" Jiang Tian said calmly:
"I...I..." The middle-aged female crown's eyes were once again blurred and misty, but her body was trembling and she said: "Back then, I was just a humble slave. I knew nothing but delivering messages for others. What was it really like? You don’t even know. Those people behind you don’t want to know either.”
"Wait..." The next moment, the female crown suddenly miraculously came to her senses, and her eyes became particularly sober and asked: "troop, you are not from Guilou or Jiuyao, who are you, and who are you?" Who sent it?"
The next moment, she screamed. Because Jiang Tian pierced through with the sword without hesitation, her palms that were on the ground shook off some blood drops, stepped on them and said in an emotionless voice: "It's not important. What's important is that I can make it happen." You suffer the most before you die.”
"Next, I'll ask you an answer. If you make a wrong sentence, I'll cut off a spot." Jiang Tian swung his sword again and pierced her other palm: "Otherwise, I have the skills and means to remove most of the items on your body. There is still a breath left. The first question is, who were the people you used to deliver messages to?"
"No, I can't say it. It won't do any good. On the contrary, more people will die." The middle-aged female crown said with eyes wide open. Then Jiang Tian crushed her toes, and one of her fingers became as flat as minced meat, and she lost her voice. Screaming and crying. Jiang Tian said coldly: "I set the rules now."
Two more moments later, the middle-aged female crown was already in tears. Only three intact fingers were left on her left hand; the other right palm was nailed to the ground again. But she is not as tough and strong as she claims; or she is not as indifferent to life and death.
At least Jiang Tian was in a state of delirium that targeted the nerve nodes of the human body, causing little blood but causing extreme pain. She was able to tell some of the information she didn't know. The best way to judge whether it is true or not is to see the little by little increase in mission progress in Jiang Tian's field of vision.
Then, Jiang Tian dragged in the masked murderer hanging on the window sill outside and placed it in front of her. However, after the middle-aged female crown saw his true face, she smiled miserably and said: "Sure enough, it's so , it’s actually him, I’ve wasted so many years..."
The next moment, Jiang Tian stabbed the murderer in the thigh with a sword, and he woke up from the pain with a fountain of blood. He stood up and wanted to resist, but found that his limbs were in severe pain and weak, and he could only He was struggling and squirming on the ground; but when the middle-aged female crown saw this, she smiled miserably and said: "Okay... okay... you also ended up like this."
"Now that my life is not long, it is not a pity to die." Then she turned to Jiang Tian and begged: "Can you please treat this guy well and repay a little or two for the victims in my sight? I will naturally Tell the truth about his origins and the messenger behind him."
"How dare you, bitch!" The murderer gritted his teeth and angrily yelled, and then turned to Jiang Tian, "You don't know who you provoked. It's over, all the people are going to die."
"Then tell me more of the inside story," Jiang Tian said calmly. "After I have properly cross-examined and verified, I can think of ways to make it difficult for him and the people behind him."
Soon after, Wu Hou who came from the nearby street shop and King Wu's disciples who heard the noise and came to patrol the streets began to bang on the door and break in. Jiang Tian also jumped up from the inside of the building. Amidst the gradually rising fire and smoke, he flew away quietly and silently.
Then, he stood on the roof across the street from Youxian Temple, watching the Jinwu disciples who stormed in, dragging several tied figures out and loading them onto a prepared carriage. The progress of tasks within Jiang Tian's field of vision has also increased by a full 5+%.
But more importantly, he had a target that he could explore and verify in the next stage; because this middle-aged female crown prince was actually a maid in the incident that year. Based on speculation before her death, a list of potential suspects involving multiple identities and positions in that year was provided.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian left Qinglongfang, he deliberately avoided the Jinwu disciples who were alarmed, as well as other relatively crowded night watch posts and patrol routes. From Xiuzheng, Xiuxian, Zhaoguo and Jinchang in the north, we went around a long circle before returning to the vicinity of Qujiang.
From this, he once again saw the complicated and colorful nightlife of residents in the city squares that resembled large comprehensive communities in later generations under the curfew maintained on the main streets; as well as some accidental glimpses of roosters and dog thefts, which even made people feel a little bit. Individual cases of blindness.
