Racing with death, every moment is a must.
"Quickly, open a way!" Thinking of the situation of the Salt Government Office, Guo Zimu shouted anxiously as if his eyebrows were burning, "Go to the street and find some gongs to ring!"
Before people arrive, the sound comes first. This is a method commonly used in the military to scare the enemy.
Although "strike a grass to frighten a snake" is a taboo on the march, it is not absolute. Another way of saying it is "knocking on a mountain to frighten a tiger."
... ...
Large households in urban areas will put a big clock or a gong at the door, which is used to call for help from neighbors when walking on water at night.
No matter how big the family property is, no matter how rich the property is, a fire can turn it into ashes, or even destroy the family and everyone. Therefore, wealthy families rarely ignore this section.
The cavalrymen at the military camp quickly found several gongs and started beating them hard.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
It was late at night, and the sound of gongs could be heard far away.
"Did you hear it?" Bailis suddenly laughed and cried, "Did you hear the sound of the gong?"
Haitang held Mei Xinyue in one hand and held her tremblingly with the other. She choked and replied: "Madam, I heard it, there were many gongs." After Xiao Xue fainted, Po Yun took care of her, and Mei Xin in her arms The moon was taken over by Haitang.
Although she was protected by the Taoist priests of Zhenwu Temple, she kept staring at the fighting in the courtyard. She saw Xue Renmo, Yin Chenghui, Fu Sui, and Zhicong died tragically in front of her eyes. Her body was already shaking with fear, and she even became pregnant. The swaddling clothes inside were a little hard to hold.
Fortunately, reinforcements are coming!
"We heard the sound of gongs. People from the county government and the military camp must have known about the movement and rushed over!" Bai Lisi roared towards the courtyard.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the man in black in the courtyard became a little confused.
"No, we spent too much time and actually attracted their reinforcements!" Hu Xiwei couldn't help but be shocked.
At the moment when he was distracted, Mei Siyuan jumped up nearly ten feet, jumped to his side, and slashed his left shoulder.
Hu Xiwei heard the sound of landing and knew something was wrong. He wanted to block it but was too late because Zhan Tong's sword was pointed at his throat.
Throat or arms?
It’s a no-brainer at this point.
"Clang!" The lancet in his hand fell to the ground. Zhan Tong took the opportunity to quickly tap on each of his five acupoints: Tanzhong, Shenque, Zhongji, Guanyuan, and Qihai, sealing his inner energy.
Without his inner strength, Hu Xiwei is no better than an ordinary middle-aged farmer.
"Stop it!" Zhan Tong put the sword on his neck and shouted into the courtyard.
He used 50% of his inner strength to make this sound, and more than a hundred people in the courtyard heard it very clearly. After a while, they all stopped and lined up on both sides.
"I think you heard the sound of the gong outside. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. And your leader has been restrained by us, so hurry up and retreat!" Mei Siyuan pointed with a knife and pointed at the nearly 100 black men on the opposite side. Yiren said.
There were less than twenty people left on one side, but there were seventy or eighty people on the opposite side. If the leader in black was not restrained in time, the consequences could be imagined.
... ...
They hated the world of mortals and looked at each other for a long time without looking good.
The people of Jiudian set up an ambush along the way, but unexpectedly someone slipped through the net and brought the reinforcements from the Salt Government Office over.
"You can't teach others to ruin the palace master's affairs!" Jiu Qingqing said coldly.
Being in the Ninth Palace, everyone naturally understands the rules in the palace, but Zhang Suiguang never listens to explanations. It's done if it's done, it's done if it's not done
If it fails, you will be rewarded if you succeed, and if you fail, you will be punished.
The two of them are masters. Although they will not give death easily, they will never be lenient.
"You lead a group of people to hold back the reinforcements, and I will take the rest to the Salt Government Office." Hen Hongchen said coldly. After finishing speaking, he put away the brocade handkerchief and returned the sword to its sheath. He stood up from the stone bench and walked straight towards the outsider. go.
The Great Underworld Envoy and the Great Ghost Envoy had already assembled their men and horses to stand aside. After listening to her words, they immediately separated half of them to follow her.
Although Hen Hongchen is young and never likes to talk, she is still the second-ranked master. Her words are her orders, and Jiu Qingqing must obey them.
... ...
What to do?
Should you go or stay?
After finally killing almost all the guards at the Salt Government Office, and seeing that the matter is about to be completed, should we just back down and fail?
Hu Xiwei's five major acupuncture points were sealed. Not only was his whole body weak, he couldn't even make a sound. He just kept blinking and shaking his head.
The young master must have a deep intention in asking him to come here to kill people. If he cannot do it, the harm will be unpredictable.
"Woo~~~" Hu Xiwei used all his strength but still couldn't say a word, so he could only shake his head.
The man in black opposite him saw this and eagerly grasped the weapon in his hand, as if he wanted to make a last ditch effort.
Although there are lamps in the courtyard, the light is not bright after all. The body shape can be seen but the description cannot be distinguished. Standing next to the leader in black, looking at his eyebrows in the dim light, Mei Siyuan felt a sense of familiarity.
"This look, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!"
"Could it be someone I know?"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened and curious he became. He turned around and walked under the eaves, taking down a lamp.
Bai Lisi anticipated what he wanted to do and hurriedly walked to his side, stopped him, shook his head and said: "Brother Yuan, stop looking and tell them to evacuate immediately!"
She didn't recognize Hu Xiwei's figure, but she had already guessed it after some calculations. Hu Xiwei brought more than 400 people with him. If they all set up defenses outside the Salt Government Office, no matter how many people came from the other side, they would not be able to avoid making any noise. The only explanation is that the prisoner committed theft, and Hu Xiwei came to do evil under the guise of protecting Mei Siyuan.
"I'm afraid that Prince Jaw Mansion has been restrained, and Hu Xiwei has taken refuge with Xia Muyan. He came to harm Brother Yuan this time, most likely under Xia Muyan's instructions." Baili thought about it and could only think of this explanation, " Brother Kuiyuan also said that we felt like old friends at first sight, and it turns out he is also a sweet-talking villain!"
Mei Siyuan always thought that his beloved wife was more intelligent than him. When he saw her stopping him, he laughed miserably, then gently pushed her away, walked quickly to Hu Xiwei, and raised the lantern higher.
Being so close and illuminated by a lantern, Mei Siyuan recognized Hu Xiwei even though he was separated by a mask, and cried out in pain: "I thought I had found another good friend and confidant, but unexpectedly I met an inhumane person." Despicable villain!"
Hu Xiwei heard that he had regarded him as his confidant, and felt ashamed for a moment. He twisted his neck desperately and hit Zhan Tong's sword, showing that he wanted to die.
"Chief Zhan Channel, please unlock some of his acupuncture points. I want to hear his explanation." Mei Siyuan turned to the Zhan Channel behind him.
Zhan Tong was still a little confused and asked Qi, "Do you recognize this person?"
Mei Siyuan nodded in response.
The men in black here are all holding on to their weapons, neither retreating nor daring to attack. You look at me, I look at you, we are already leaderless. It turned out that during the melee, the four leaders below Hu Xiwei were all dead. Although there were still seventy or eighty people on the opposite side, there was no one in charge. At this time, no one dared to stand up and say anything. Everyone had to He stared blankly at Hu Xiwei who was kidnapped by Zhan Tong.
Zhan Tong quickly poked at his waist and chest, releasing the energy and blood in his neck, but sealed the energy and blood in his hands and feet, making him unable to move even though he could speak.
After the Shenque, Zhongji, and Guanyuan acupoints were unlocked, Hu Xiwei suddenly felt that his strength had been restored above his neck, and he opened his mouth and said: "I'm sorry for you. I can't see you. Just kill me with one knife!"
He was speaking in a normal voice at this moment, and both Fu Pun and Gu Yiqing recognized that he was Hu Xiwei, and both of them had expressions of incredulity on their faces.
Fu Zun was the first to come to his senses, and he picked up the knife and was about to chop it on his head. His only brother was killed, and his chest was full of anger and pain. Knowing that the perpetrator of the evil was actually "one of his own," he wished he could cut Hu Xiwei into pieces with thousands of knives, crushing his bones and scattering ashes.
"Second Brother Fu, why don't you listen to him first?" Mei Siyuan said to him softly.
The tone when he said this was not an order, but more like a discussion. Fu Sui died, and he deserved revenge. If Fu Pun forced Hu Xiwei to be killed, he would not say anything.
After all, their brotherly relationship was different from that of people like him. If he wanted to kill Hu Xiwei and then quickly, it was the right thing to do, and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Fu Zun's knife that was slashing at Hu Xiwei still stopped in mid-air. After hesitating for a few breaths, he finally put it away, "Let him live for a while and a half longer! When he finishes speaking, I will strike again." Cut off his head and avenge your brother!"
"Don't ask anything, I won't say anything." Seeing Mei Siyuan walking in front of him and about to ask, Hu Xiwei said quickly, "Just kill me!"
After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and turned to the men in black on the opposite side and said: "You should retreat quickly! The matter here is over, and my life and death have nothing to do with you!"
"Come on, kill me!" He said this to Fu Pun. Hu Xiwei noticed that he hated himself the most.
After hearing this, Fu Pun gathered strength and raised the knife to fulfill his wish.
"Second Brother Fu, wait a minute!" Bailis stopped him hastily, "Wait a minute! I have a few words to ask him."
She originally thought that Hu Xiwei had surrendered to Xia Muyan, but now she felt that she had probably guessed wrong. But, why did Prince Jaw kill his husband? If they want to kill their husbands, how can they spare their children?
"On your way to the capital, did you..." Bailis asked softly through gritted teeth.
When she reached this point, she couldn't continue, but Hu Xiwei understood what she meant. He closed his eyes and sighed and replied, "I deliberately let Mr. Mei out."
"Sure enough, he originally wanted to destroy the entire Mei family..." Bai Lisi felt a chill in his heart and asked with tears in his eyes, "Is it worth it for such a ruthless and unjust person? "
Her words were full of resentment, as if she were speaking to Mei Siyuan, but also to Hu Xiwei.
After hearing this, the two people's expressions suddenly changed.
"Ruthless and unjust... Yes! Since he can kill Master Mei, how can he have any kindness? For such a person, we rewarded six to seven hundred lives, how can it not be worth it? ! Why didn’t I think about it like this before!” Hu Xiwei’s eyes widened with fear and regret. After crying loudly, he stretched his neck to wipe Zhan Tong’s sharp blade.
Zhan Tong didn't know the whole story, so he didn't dare to let him die for a moment. He turned up the blade of his sword and struck him hard on the face with the blade, knocking him to the ground.
"Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan!" Seeing that her husband seemed to have lost his soul in an instant, Bai Lisi held his hand distressedly and cried, "Brother Yuan, that's it! That's it! People's hearts are like this, don't be like this!"
Only then did Haitang guess that it was Xia Chengxuan who sent them to kill people like her, and blurted out: "Young Master!"
