Chapter 252: Jade Void
The two officials were stunned, hurriedly pulled out their knives, and looked at the two of them warily.
These two people, the man is cold and extraordinary, and the woman is elegant.
However, both of them are wearing masks, and neither of them knows what the faces under the masks look like.
"You...... Who are you? The Assassin lay on the ground, staring intently at the two men. He could only see the two of them facing each other, spitting blood and asking intermittently.
"You should know who we are." The man turned, his voice indifferent.
When the assassin saw the mask on the man's face, his face turned pale in an instant, and he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and he suddenly laughed miserably: "It turned out to be the Huanglong Zhenren and Cihang Dao people in the 'Twelve Immortals of Jade Void', I can't imagine that a mere nobody of mine can make two of them attack at the same time, I really don't know if this is my luck or misfortune." ”
"It's a blessing to be able to live, otherwise it's a misfortune. It's all in your thoughts. The man known as Huanglong Zhenren said indifferently.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. The assassin looked at the two of them and said with a smirk.
"The four of them have always been inseparable to protect Yang Guozhong, let's say, what is the purpose of Yang Guozhong sending you to Zhengyang?" Huang Long Zhenren looked at him indifferently.
The assassin snorted, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and said with a miserable expression, "Isn't it obvious enough?" My purpose is, of course, to assassinate Cui Lian. ”
Huang Long Zhenren said coldly: "Your details, we have investigated clearly. You and Mei came to Zhengyang together, but they acted separately. I advise you to be honest, it would be a misfortune to lose your life because of this. ”
The Assassin fell silent. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have investigated us. It should be known that there is an iron law for killers. Don't reveal anything about your master, or you'll die. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin grabbed his dagger and slashed it on his neck like lightning, and a stream of blood spurted out like a spring.
"This person is seriously injured, and he can still move so quickly, and his martial arts are indeed not bad. Unfortunately, we didn't ask what their purpose was. Huanglong Zhenren shook his head.
Cihang Daoren, who had not spoken all this time, spoke at this time: "We guessed that they were just trying to assassinate Cui Shangshu. At least for now, it is certain that they have another purpose, and it is not without gain. ”
Huang Long Zhenren nodded, he picked up Cui Lian, who was already unconscious, and said, "I will send the lord to the yamen first, and then I will meet you." ”
As he spoke, Huanglong Zhenren carried Cui Lian on his back, jumped up, and easily jumped onto the roof. A few flickeres followed and then vanished.
"Don't worry, Lord Cui is too seriously injured and needs timely treatment, he won't hurt Lord Cui." Cihang Daoist looked at the hesitant expressions of the two officials. Knowing that they were worried about Cui Lian's safety, he spoke.
The two officials also heard the conversation between them, and heard Huang Long Zhenren say to send Master Cui back to the yamen. Although I don't believe it in my heart, I can't help it. I had to look at each other and sigh.
"I ask you, what's the fire there?" Cihang Dao people looked at the blazing Lichun Fang in the distance. Asked lightly.
"Woman, you are strong in martial arts, please go and save Lord Li." The women suddenly knelt in front of her and cried.
Cihang Daoist hurriedly picked up a woman and asked, "Lord Li?" Which Lee-sama? ”
"It's the county order of this county, Li Canghai and Lord Li...... In order to save us, he did not hesitate to risk his life to lure away the guards. Now that a fire is burning in the courtyard, I don't know what happened to Lord Li's life or death. Woman, you are strong in martial arts, please go and save Lord Li! The woman choked.
"Yes, Woman, please save Master Li!"
"Save Lord Lee! Master Lee is a good person...... Whining. ”
Cihang Daoist looked at the firelight of Lichunfang in a daze, and suddenly his figure flashed, and he ran towards Lichunfang quickly with light skills.
Lichun Fang is the largest brothel in Zhengyang City, most of the attics are made of wood, and the whole Lichun Fang has now become a sea of fire.
Cihang Daoist kept swinging his sword, cutting a jump passage in the sea of fire, and rushed in desperately.
"The sea! Sea! Where are you? ”
"Canghai~!"
The people of Cihang Dao shouted loudly for Li Canghai in the sea of fire, but the crazy flames around her made it difficult for her to move an inch.
Crash~
A beam fell from the roof because it could not withstand the flames.
With a bang, it landed right in front of Cihangdao, blocking her way.
The flames inside were steaming, and it was difficult to get in at all, so the people of Cihang Dao tried a few times, but they had to retreat.
The fire burned all night, and it was not until the next morning that the flames gradually went out.
Everyone was exhausted and stared blankly at everything in front of them.
The gold cave that was close to it became a ruin after only one night, and the glory and wealth were not just a flash in the pan like this gold cave, and all that was needed was a fire.
The exhausted Chang Feng led several servants to search for the bodies of the victims in the ruins.
The fire came too suddenly, and everyone was only concerned about fighting the fire last night, and they didn't know if there were any casualties.
Chang Feng walked and searched among the ruins, and suddenly saw a woman squatting in a corner.
The woman was squatting in the corner, and the white dress she was wearing had turned gray and black, and there were signs of burning in many places on the dress.
Seeing the woman in white in the ruins made Chang Feng startled, and he thought he had seen a ghost.
It wasn't until he saw the other party's face clearly that he said in astonishment: "Miss Xue? You...... How did you end up here? ”
In Luofengji, Chang Feng had seen Xue Xuan, because he was no stranger to her.
But seeing him in the ruins of Lichunfang at this time still made him a little surprised.
"Miss Xue, Miss Xue?" Seeing that Xue Xuan was a little depressed, Chang Feng scratched his head and shouted twice.
At this time, Xue Xuan slowly raised her head, Chang Feng saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard, so she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Xue, are you okay?" ”
"Dead, Canghai...... He ...... He's dead. I'm so useless, I haven't found him for a long time...... Sea....... Xue Xuan muttered to herself, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Chang Feng was stunned, and then reacted, what she said should be Kang Xu.
Regarding Kang Xu's pretending to be Li Canghai, only he, Xiao Wu and Zhang Xuansheng knew, and even Di Qing was kept in the dark, and Xue Xuan naturally didn't know the inside story.
Seeing Xue Xuan's dejected appearance, Chang Feng suddenly understood, it turned out that Xue Xuan had always liked Li Canghai, but Li Canghai was accompanied by Di Qing, and she rarely appeared.
He really wanted to tell Xue Xuan the truth, Li Canghai was still lying unconscious in the county office, but when he thought of some other things, he swallowed the words back to his mouth.
"Miss Xue, actually...... We haven't found any bodies yet, and we don't know if he escaped. Chang Feng thought about it and comforted him.
Looking at the yard burned to ruins, Chang Feng's voice became heavy. (To be continued.) )
