Bailang went back home first and found that his younger siblings had woken up in the middle of the night, hiding in the bedroom with the dagger he had left at home, looking nervous. I thought there was a military attack in the city. This was the most frightening thing besides the plague.
It wasn't until Bailang knocked on the door and entered that the two little ones felt relieved. But when he saw the blood on Bai Lang's body, he couldn't help but worry. They also knew that the shouts of death and screams outside were not their misunderstandings, but that they were really in great danger. And my eldest brother has obviously experienced it.
"Don't worry, you just stay at home like you did just now. If someone breaks the door, you run out of the back door and go directly to Xuetangfang to hide. Do you understand?"
"We understand, but brother, what about you? Aren't you with us?"
"I have other things to do. Remember, you must not open the door and go out unless you have to do what I just said, do you understand?"
After explaining the situation at home, Bai Lang hurriedly came out. He felt a little at ease. Now it seems that those secret guards have no intention of killing everywhere, and the areas affected are not in the circle of ordinary people's lives.
He hurriedly returned to Qianfang. His family was safe, and Bailang could continue to guard Qianfang with peace of mind to prevent the secret guards from trying to counterattack.
"Zhentang, the brothers who went to the Ma Sheng Alley to look for news are back. The situation there is very bad. The entrance to the main hall seems to have been breached. There is blood from outside the alley and inside. We dare not approach at all. Those secret guards It seems that I'm entangled with the sword inside, and I can't tell the winner yet."
"Where are the people?"
Soon, a little man with a cold sweat walked up to Bailang.
"Are many people dead? Have you gone to the entrance of the main hall?"
"When we returned to the town hall, my subordinates were unable to enter the entrance to the main hall. But outside, we could see the corpses of many brothers. I saw more than twenty of them alone. Moreover, there was a loud killing sound in the alley. It was from the main hall that It came out of his mouth. Those people should have already reached the entrance of the main hall."
"Can you see the red knife in the knife shop?"
"No. But on the way, I met some scattered brothers from the East Market. They all came from home, and now they have all gone to the Hemp Rope Alley."
Bailang has nothing to say about the bloody nature of the people in the knife hall. But at the same time, it was also clear that if the entrance to the main hall could not withstand the offensive of those secret guards, the people who filled in behind would only be moths flying into the flames. Moreover, the secret guards who mainly attack the Ma Sheng Lane are definitely not comparable to the dozen or so people who came to attack Qianfang before.
You must know that Tang Yan, the swordsman in the sword hall, is a real Qi practitioner, and his cultivation level is not low.
In other words, there must be Qi Refiners among the secret guards attacking Ma Sheng Alley, and their strength is either higher than that of Tang Yan, or there is more than one person in number. Otherwise, the knife studio would never be forced to do this.
"Can you see people from the Yamen or the City Lord's Mansion on the road?"
"Didn't see it."
Bailang's heart skipped a beat. The vague speculation he had in his mind before now seemed to have become a reality. Those secret guards were investigating the case of the big shot who died in the inn, and they should have commandeered the prison in the Yamen. In other words, these secret guards themselves should have official backgrounds, even higher than the yamen, and comparable to the power in the city lord's palace.
The Knife Hall is obviously the target of these secret guards this time. At the same time, the sword hall was obviously abandoned by the city lord's palace. Otherwise, even the younger brothers and sisters in Bailang's family would be awakened by such a huge battle at night. There is no reason why the city lord's mansion and the Yamen should not be aware of it, right?
"Zhentang? What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Our ability to hold on to Qianfang is our limit. We can only wait and see on the other side of Ma Sheng Alley." Bailang did not choose to fly into the flames.
As it got closer to daylight, the sound of killing on the Hemp Rope Lane gradually subsided. It was not until daybreak that Bailang saw groups of government officials and the rarely seen guards of the city lord's palace driving onto the streets of the east side of the city. There was even a team that came to Qianfang to check it out. The leader was Zhang Liang, the yamen team leader who was very familiar with Bai Lang.
"Bai Lang?"
"What? Are Team Leader Zhang surprised to see me alive?" Bai Lang just wiped the blood on his face. He didn't change his clothes, but the human blood sprayed on them had solidified, making his clothes weirdly stiff. , and there is a slight black discoloration.
After replying to Zhang Liang, Bai Lang turned around and said to Zhang Wu beside him: "I'll leave it to you to greet Team Leader Zhang. I'll go to the Hemp Rope Alley."
After speaking to Zhang Wu, Bai Lang didn't even look at Zhang Liang again. He understood that Zhang Liang came to see the excitement, but at the same time Zhang Liang showed up to show that the city lord's palace and the Yamen were sitting on the bright side of Yongchuan City again. The killings endured by the sword hall should have come to an end.
So what Bailang was most nervous about at this time was the situation in the knife studio.
Of course, before going to Ma Sheng Lane, he also needed to go back home first to make sure his younger brothers and sisters were safe.
When Bailang arrived at the entrance of Ma Sheng Alley, which represents the core power of Tang Dao Guan, even though he was mentally prepared in advance, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
The complex laneway from which Hemp Rope Lane got its name was violently destroyed, like a battering ram being smashed in. The walls collapsed and blood stains could be seen everywhere. Rows of rolled-up mats are placed in a spacious place on the street. The top and bottom of the mats expose the top of the head and stiff legs.
As he continued inside, the damage to the alley became more serious, and he understood the origin of the huge roar last night. As well as the spiritual energy fluctuations that still remain at the scene. All of them confirmed his previous guess that there were also Qi Refiners among the secret guards who attacked Hemp Rope Alley. And his cultivation level is stronger than that of Tang Yan! And there may well be an advantage in numbers.
"Bai Zhentang! Are you okay?"
As soon as Bai Lang arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he met an acquaintance. He was Liu Xu's attendant and he was also very familiar with Bai Lang.
"Brother Zhang! I'm fine! Where is Mr. Liu? Is he in the hall?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu is fine. Mr. Liu wanted to come over last night, but his family members stopped him. He almost didn't come, otherwise something would have happened. You go and see Mr. Liu first, he just left his seat. Come back from the knife side. I'm still busy contacting the medical center. There were so many casualties in Hemp Sheng Alley last night. Fifty-six-tenths of our own doctors were also injured, so we had to hire them from outside. I I won’t talk to Bai Zhentang any more!”
Although it was just a meeting, the biggest stone in Bailang's heart fell to the ground.
Liu Xu is not dead, and neither is Tang Yan.
Don't leave in a hurry. Bailang entered the main hall. The degree of damage inside is no better than outside. Many walls have completely collapsed. You can see the sky when you stand inside and look up. Many beams are broken. At this time, the house is completely dangerous inside.
It wasn't until we continued to go inside that things got a little better and the house was relatively complete.
"Master Liu!"
"Bailang, are you here? I heard that your Qianfang was also the target of an attack last night. It's great that you are okay. How is the situation over there?"
