Rather than stay in the dormitory and wait for death, it is better to leave quickly.
Thinking of this, Chen Chang hurriedly dragged Ning Jingrong and jumped out of the back window. Chen Chang pushed the case under the window with support. He had no time to look at it, so he stretched out his hand to open the window and looked outside. He said happily: "It's not high down there.
Just jump down and come up quickly."
Ning Jingrong looked over and said fearfully: "I...I'm afraid..."
Chen Chang said: "It doesn't matter. Just close your eyes and jump down. Hurry up. Hurry up!"
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and has already ignited all the doors, windows and curtains in front.
Ning Jingrong was urged repeatedly by Chen Chang, so he had to climb onto the table tremblingly. When he looked out, there was also a row of dormitories behind him, and there was no assassin in sight.
As a killer, Ning Jingrong is naturally not afraid of this, but her current identity is a weak woman fleeing from the desert, so she has to bring a woman's timid instinct to the extreme. She has received various trainings since she was a child, and she has a frightened expression on her face.
It’s very accurate.
Seeing that Chen Chang was anxious, he couldn't bear to curse, so he just urged.
Chen Chang urged from behind: "Jump quickly, jump quickly, don't worry, it's not too high, I'll jump down as soon as I close my eyes."
Ning Jingrong pretended to be helpless and had no choice but to drill out. The rear window was a window that opened flat from the inside. When pushed outward, the opening was not very large. Chen Chang naturally had to use his hands to open it inside before he could get out.

Ning Jingrong screamed when her body was hanging in mid-air. She grabbed the window edge with both hands and tensed her body.
"Protect your head!" Chen Chang couldn't care less. He pushed hard on her plump buttocks, but it couldn't be pushed. Then he lifted her thighs and pushed upwards. Ning Jingrong screamed and fell upside down.
It fell out of the window with a plop.
Chen Chang followed closely and jumped out of the window. At this moment, his head was swollen and his body swayed a few times. He held on to the back wall and finally managed to stand still.
He saw Ning Jingrong moaning in pain on the ground, and he was reassured that this woman still had the strength to cry out in pain, so she was not broken.
At this moment, a black-turbaned assassin emerged from the diagonal stab and came straight towards the two of them. When he saw that Chen Chang was dressed exactly like the person in the portrait that the leader had shown them, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
.
These assassins are all desperadoes. They were promised a lot of money before they came. If they can capture Chen Chang alive, they will be rewarded two thousand guan. If they can get Chen Chang's head, they will be rewarded 1,000 guan. This is a huge amount of wealth.
With this money, I can find a place where I am safe and sound and become a rich man comfortably.
Their leader naturally wanted to capture Chen Chang alive, so he tried his best to use the incense, but at present, the effect of this incense is really limited.
The assassin quickly made the decision that one thousand guan was better than two thousand guan.
"Take your life!" the black-clothed assassin shouted, swinging his knife and slashing at Chen Chang's head.
Chen Chang did know some boxing and kicking skills, but he was intoxicated by the incense and his whole body was weak and weak. He was still swaying while holding on to the wall. How could he deal with such vicious people? He sat down along the back wall in desperation.
, unable to get up anymore.
Seeing the assassin arriving in an instant, Chen Chang secretly screamed, he was afraid that his life would be decided here.
At the critical moment, the assassin's right leg suddenly seemed to be broken, and as if his knee was struck by an iron rod, the assassin unexpectedly lost his horse while running at high speed and fell to the ground with a thud.
p>
This was unexpected, and the fall was not light. Under the action of inertia, his whole face fell to the ground, and his flesh and blood were immediately blurred.
The assassin screamed and was about to get up, when a ring-headed knife flew through the air with cold light and murderous intent, and penetrated directly into his chest. The assassin vomited blood, and the dead body immediately fell to the ground.
While Chen Chang was in panic, Zhou Hong led his guards and ran over.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Zhou Hong's face turned pale.
Chen Chang took a few deep breaths, shook his head, and staggered to help Ning Jingrong, only to find that she had already been unconscious. Fortunately, she was alive.
Zhou Hong looked around. Although the assassins were chasing him, it was not safe to stay here.
While he was looking for a place to stay, the door of a dormitory suddenly opened, and an old monk hurriedly shouted: "Take His Majesty to take shelter here quickly."
It is Master Xuyun who presides over Tiefo Temple.
Zhou Hong hesitated immediately. There were assassins all over the Iron Buddha Temple, and the monks in the temple were inevitably inextricably linked to the assassins. Maybe this virtual cloud was not reliable.
Chen Chang knew what he was thinking and said: "Captain Zhou, Master Xuyun is not a bad person. Otherwise, how could you and I have survived to this point?"
Zhou Hong thought about it. Xuyun had been in close contact with Chen Chang many times. If he was an accomplice of the assassin, he would have taken action long ago.
Moreover, just now Liu Ming briefly revealed to him that Master Xuyun had been kidnapped and knocked unconscious.
At present, Liu Ming has shared information on issues related to Chen Chang's safety, because he does not want Chen Chang to die in Jiangling.
The guards helped Chen Chang, who was almost unconscious, and Ning Jing, who was already unconscious, into Xuyun's dormitory. For a while, the room was filled with more than a dozen armed men, making it very crowded.
Zhou Hong was also alert. He and two other guards stayed in the room for close protection. He sent the rest of the guards to the row of dormitories on the east side. If the assassin chased him, he could lure him to the empty building.
The squatter launches a rocket.
Xuyun was well versed in medical theory and immediately took the pulse of Chen and Chang.
Not long after, the soldiers who stayed outside broke into the temple. After a fierce fight, they finally wiped out all the assassins.
After inspecting Chen Chang's injuries, Hou Andu walked to the Main Hall with a gloomy expression. He saw that the square was littered with corpses, and there were blood stains on the stones.
There were many people standing around. In addition to Hou Andu and Liu Ming's men, Cai Daye and Han Zitong each led the Houliang army. The Northern Zhou soldiers all rushed over. Each of these people's faces were ashen.
With such a big case happening at the feet of the emperor, neither Cai Daye, who was doing his duty as a landlord, nor Han Zitong, who had been protecting Chen Chang, could escape the blame.
If they cannot give a satisfactory answer, neither the Later Liang court nor the Northern Zhou court will give them good luck.
Hou Andu stood in front of everyone. Although he was a foreign minister, he had the highest official position. Cai Daye, Han Zitong and others all saluted him.
Hou Andu asked Cai Daye and Han Zitong: "Are there any survivors? Can the identities of these people be found out?"
Cai Daye hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Sir Sikong, the officials are still investigating, and no one alive has been found so far."
Han Zitong also bowed and said: "Master Hou, the soldiers under the general are also searching around the Iron Buddha Temple. The area has been expanded to five miles. If there are still survivors, they will definitely be found."
In fact, Han Zitong was holding back his anger, and Hou Andu did not let Zhou Jun get too close to Chen Chang, so they were only performing peripheral security tasks. The gate of Tiefo Temple was not accessible at all, but it happened to be inside Tiefo Temple.
A large number of assassins emerged.
In any case, Han Zitong neglected his duty and ran away.
He looked at Liu Ming, Cai Daye and others, and secretly cursed these people for their incompetence, allowing assassins to assassinate them right in front of their eyes. If it weren't for the bravery of his Zhou army, which launched a fierce attack on the assassins blocking the inside of the gate, the result would have been disastrous.<
/p>
At this time, Liu Ming also came to report, saying that all the monks in the temple had been gathered into the Dharma Hall to await interrogation. The reports from his subordinates also showed that there were no survivors.
Hou Andu's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
Liu Ming's heart felt cold, and he hesitated: "This..., the general will conduct a strict surveillance. As soon as a trace of a person is found, he will be captured immediately!"
Cai Daye was honest and said: "There was originally a person alive, but my men saw that he was very ferocious and even attacked us even though he was seriously injured. In anger, they killed him with a knife. However, he was not caught.
It doesn't matter if they are alive or alive, these people must be assassins captured by Northern Qi from all over the country, and only they would wish for chaos in the world."
Hou Andu snorted. He was very dissatisfied with such a result. He pondered for a moment and said, "Master Cai, I have to bother you with this matter. Let us give you justice!"
Cai Daye nodded solemnly and said with shame: "Even if there is no need for Lord Sikong to order this matter, we will investigate and kill all those assassins. Also, the monks and subordinates in this temple will definitely cooperate with Lord Sikong to strictly enforce the law."
Interrogation."
Hou Andu turned to Liu Ming and said: "Since Mr. Cai suspects that these assassins are from the Northern Qi Dynasty, you should immediately check those monks to see who has recently entered the temple, or who has left the temple recently. Remember, there is no chance of success.
Don’t be rude to them until you have solid evidence!”
"I will obey your orders, general!" Liu Ming agreed, crossing his hands and leaving in a hurry.
Cai Daye stepped forward and apologized to Hou An in a low voice.
This time, the emperor gave him a task, which was to establish a good relationship with Chen Chang and even Nan Chen.
This time when the assassins attacked, no one was caught alive. Naturally, they didn’t know who the real culprit was. However, the whole city was searching for Beiqi’s details. This incident had long been determined to be someone from Beiqi. The whole city was
In the hunt for Beiqi's secret work, they won't lose at all if they take the blame.
Hou An knew that this matter had nothing to do with Cai Daye, so he had no intention of blaming him. His cold expression just now was just an official expression.
But Hou Andu was extremely serious about catching the assassins and finding out the truth. The assassins attacked Chen Chang one after another, which was unbearable. If they didn't take strict precautions, something would happen if they couldn't reach Nanchen territory.
Hou Andu pulled Cai Daye aside and whispered: "Master Cai, assassins from the Northern Qi Dynasty appeared in Jiangling, but they were actually targeting the Zhou Dynasty. As early as the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, the two families
It’s a feud, and you and I are all following suit. Just imagine, even if you mobilized troops, can you find the whereabouts of the assassin?"
Cai Daye blinked and seemed to have come back to his senses. He asked quietly: "What does Lord Sikong mean..."
Hou Andu said earnestly and sincerely: "Master Cai, we have to rely on the West City Defense Chief and the waiting officials for this matter. I'm afraid we are beyond our power!"
Cai Daye heard it and let out a soft sigh, seeming to understand something.
