In the rain.
Shi Wenlao heard the shouting of killing coming from far away, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was not late yet.
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Without any hesitation, he led his men into the battle formation instantly.
On the other side of the official road, Zhu Yuelan was pinned firmly to the horse by Zhu Gaosui, for fear that she would accidentally escape from the shackles.
The Jin Yiwei Baihu who were guarding the two men looked wary on their faces.
He was afraid that some assassins would suddenly emerge from the reeds and hurt the two nobles around him.
The captain of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, when he saw the battle clearly, he also joined the battle with his sword and howling.
In an instant, the offense and defense changed positions.
As the people brought by Shi Wen and Zhu Gaosui joined the battle, Chen Kan's side instantly changed from a numerically disadvantaged side to a numerically superior side.
On the other hand, the assassins in the rain had their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
They couldn't understand why Chen Kan's reinforcements arrived so quickly.
Didn't the higher-ups promise that they would get at least half an hour of interception time for them?
But now, at most, one stick of incense has passed.
Could it be that the superiors made a miscalculation?
Many assassins have already begun to think about quitting.
The opponent's reinforcements have arrived, and continuing to fight is just a waste of effort.
They are elite killers, but they are not dead soldiers.
Since the above plan went wrong, their early withdrawal is not considered a violation of the regulations.
Thinking of this, many assassins fought and retreated, and then instantly got into the reeds.
What's more, they jumped directly into the water, hoping to escape through the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River.
But they forgot that they are water-savvy. Don't the captains of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who grew up near the water, not be water-worthy?
In an instant, the cavalry versus infantry turned into a water battle.
The assassins fought and retreated, while Chen Kan's soldiers pressed forward step by step.
Chen Kan slashed the neck of the assassin closest to him with a knife. He wanted to withdraw the knife, but it didn't move.
His blade has long been curled.
Squinting his eyes, Chen Kan saw that there was no assassin beside him.
Heavy rain is the best cleaner in the world. Apart from the broken limbs and broken arms left on the official road, the blood stains have already been washed into the small lake by the heavy rain.
Chen Kan smiled as he looked at the lake that was extremely turbid after being washed away by a heavy rain.
It turns out that humans are so insignificant in front of heaven and earth.
So many people died and so much blood poured into the lake. It turned out that the water had only become turbid, and not even a trace of scarlet could be seen.
Broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and colorful intestines and internal organs exuded a fishy smell, but they were quickly washed away by the heavy rain, and the cycle started again.
Chen Kan was in a daze.
He lost too much blood today, and he hasn't collapsed yet. It must have something to do with the pill Zhang San handed him.
He hit his horse and walked towards the direction where Jin Yiwei was coming.
Chen Kan's clothes were in tatters, and there were wounds all over his arms and thighs.
If he hadn't put on soft armor in advance, he would probably be covered in injuries.
The blood on the wound was washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only a dead white color on the wound, with a streak of blood coming out from time to time, but it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain.
Chen Kan rode his horse and came to Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Yuelan.
Zhu Gaosui suddenly stared at him with an unkind expression: "How could you leave my sister alone in such a dangerous place?"
Chen Kan smiled at him and was very happy to see that the cute girl with big eyes was fine.
Zhu Yuelan finally broke free from Zhu Gaosui's shackles, jumped off the horse, stared at Chen Kan's injuries, covered her mouth tightly, and tried hard not to cry.
Chen Kan stretched out his hand and hugged her: "Daughter-in-law, it's great that you are okay."
After Chen Kan finished speaking with a smile, his eyes suddenly fell into a trance, and then his whole body hung on Zhu Yuelan's body and became motionless.
The cute girl with big eyes suppressed the cry that was about to come out, and put her arm around Chen Kan's waist: "It's okay, everything is over."
.....
.....
The heavy rain in autumn should not last too long. Under normal circumstances, the rain will clear up in one or two hours, but this time it rained for three days and three nights.
Heavy rain caused the water level of the Qinhuai River to surge, and even the Jingshi Wharf at the north gate of the capital was flooded up to three steps.
The fight in Nancheng of the capital and the attack on the Zhongshan Baochao Department did not seem to cause much ripples in the capital.
There were quite a few people talking about the oiran convention three days ago and the unlucky guy who was trampled to death in that oiran convention.
Obviously, the matter was suppressed by the court
In the early morning of the fourth day, as soon as the heavy rain stopped, a carriage swayed out of the north of the city.
Beside the pier, no matter how the water level of the Yangtze River rises and falls, the boatmen have to rely on this river to make a living. As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water is what it means.
The moment the carriage appeared, countless boatmen came forward to solicit customers.
Due to the heavy rain in the past three days, many boat owners have lost their customers. Now that the rain has just passed and the weather has cleared up, the first order that comes to the door is not allowed to turn a blind eye to this carriage even if it is to get a fortune.
Faced with the solicitation of so many boatmen, the people on the carriage had no intention of getting off.
The maid on the shaft drove the carriage straight to the door of a horse and carriage shop.
It is not uncommon for carriages and horses to travel in every city of the Ming Dynasty. They not only rent carriages and horses to external parties, but also take on the job of looking after carriages.
At the entrance of the carriage house, a young man dressed as a waiter was yawning.
Although he didn't think that after three consecutive days of rain, the carriage and horse shop would still have any business, he still faithfully followed the rules that the carriage and horse shop must open every day.
But just as he rubbed his eyes, he noticed a maid driving a carriage towards him.
He has seen a lot of coachmen driving, but it is really rare for a maid to drive a coach.
In line with the principle that if you have work to do, you will have food to eat, so he headed towards the carriage.
"Does the guest want to store his carriage and horses?"
The girl jumped off the carriage, and the sight of her proud figure made the boy's mouth go dry for a while.
"Call your shopkeeper out."
The girl walked up to the waiter and held out a green finger in a domineering manner.
The clerk was still in his youth, and his family had not yet arranged an engagement for him. When he had seen such a scene, Dang even couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
"What are you looking at? A young man who dares to stare at your aunt even before your hair is fully grown. Your aunt is older than your mother. Do you believe it when you see her pluck out your eyeballs?"
"No manners at all..."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned blood red.
I peeked at someone and was caught by them, so embarrassing...
But when it comes to girls, he only thinks that she is joking with him. After all, this woman looks to be about the same age as him.
When the girl saw that the young man in front of her turned red at her words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at the young man with his head lowered and a reserved expression, he couldn't help but click his tongue and said: "He's still a little cock."
"Xiaoqing, don't be rude."
Just when the young man was at a loss and didn't know what to do, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the carriage.
He couldn't help but follow the sound and couldn't move his eyes away.
God, how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?
"Fairy sister."
He couldn't help but murmured.
Xiao Qing suddenly became unhappy: "Hey, our lady can also be seen by you? Whether you can understand human speech or not, I told your shopkeeper to come out."
The woman was dressed in white and covered her face with a translucent silk scarf.
She walked slowly to the waiter and said calmly: "Brother, please tell your shopkeeper that I will come to burn incense and worship."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the boy turned around and ran away with excitement on his face. As he ran, he shouted towards the yard: "Dad, dad, it's business, it's business."
Watching the young man run into the yard of the carriage house, Xiaoqing turned to look at the woman: "Tsk, fairy sister."
The woman ignored the girl's showmanship and just stood quietly at the door of the carriage house.
After a while, the young man grabbed a rich middle-aged man and walked out of the door.
As he walked, he pointed in the direction of the woman and explained anxiously: "Dad, I didn't lie to you, there really is a fairy sister."
"Oh, you little bastard, let go. How do you behave like this?"
But before the man finished speaking, his attention was suddenly attracted by two beautiful figures not far away.
He quickly glared at his son, signaling him not to say much.
Then he trotted forward, bowed and said, "I am Han Delu, the shopkeeper of this carriage and horse racing shop. I wonder if the two guests want to store the carriage?"
The woman bowed back and said calmly: "We sisters were passing by your place. We heard that there was a great manifestation of the true spirit here, so we came to burn incense and worship. Is it convenient?"
The smile on the man's face froze, and then he smiled lightly and said: "I see, you two, please come in."
Stretching out his hand to signal the two women to enter, the man did not forget to order his son beside him: "Xiaolu, drive the two guests' carriages and horses into the courtyard gate and park them."
The young man was secretly looking at the faces of the two women, and felt that they were more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. If he could marry such a wife in this life, he would be willing to lose twenty years of his life.
Suddenly hearing his father's instructions, he had no choice but to walk towards the carriage with a face full of reluctance.
Just turning back three times with one step made the girl show an interesting smile in her eyes.
Seeing this, Han Delu hurriedly apologized to the two of them: "The evil son of the family has been spoiled by villains since he was a child. Please don't take offense."
The woman nodded, but Xiao Qing showed two small fangs: "I'm not surprised, why should I be surprised?"
The three of them walked into the courtyard gate and stopped when they came to a secret room sealed by two rooms.
Han Delu looked around to make sure no one else was peeking, and the smile on his face suddenly faded.
Then his knees softened and he knelt down towards the two women.
"Han Delu has met your lord. Han Delu is guilty. Please punish him."
The two women seemed to have expected this scene. Before the woman spoke, Xiaoqing smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, how about you give me your son as a pet, and I will plead with the lady for you?"
