Chapter two hundred and forty-one
Chu Yuan and the others were far away from Wu Jichang's position, and the young men were in the opposite direction to the incoming crowd, so they shouted "Where's the bucket? Are there any more?" and "Hurry, hurry up!" from time to time to remind each other of their positions.
Gan Lai was fast, so she took a slight detour to avoid the dense crowd and move forward more easily.
Not far ahead, I seemed to see Wu Jichang. There were the fewest people there, mainly because there were only three or four people around him who didn't even dare to stand up straight, so he stood out a bit.
Gan Lai took out the dagger from his waist while running and prepared to sprint over.
Suddenly, a man from the Secret Investigation Department ran toward Wu Jichang holding a torch, shouting: "Sir! Your Excellency!" He staggered and bumped into Gan Lai.
When their shoulders collided, Gan Lai's speed and strength clearly had the advantage. The man almost fell down, turned back to glare at Gan Lai and started to curse.
Under the light of the torch held by the man, Ganlai's gray-blue eyes took on a fantastic, bluish amber color.
The man was stunned, but Gan Lai, who was hit at the same time, couldn't help but muttered: "It's bad luck!" This is the most common sentence among the people in Old Donglun recently, and it means "bad luck".
Female!
Donglun language!
Princess!
The man's eyes instantly became sharp, and he blurted out: "Prince Donglun!" Then, the torch struck Gan Lai's face!
Although Gan Lai was hit a bit, his speed did not slow down and he still rushed towards Wu Jichang. He even increased his speed, as if he was using the "shutchi method".
The torch failed, but Gan Lai was in front of Wu Jichang in a few long strides.
"Catch her! She is the princess of Donglun!"
When Wu Jichang saw someone running toward him, he secretly cheered up and prepared to fight at any time. The two guards around him also stepped forward to block Gan Lai's path.
But when he heard the words "Princess Donglun", Wu Jichang couldn't help but froze for a moment and muttered: "Did we really meet her?"
These words made the two guards stunned for a moment. With just a flash of lightning, Gan Lai had already swung his dagger.
The cold light reflected by the dagger only flashed for a brief moment, and one of the guards had a large gash from below his right ear to his Adam's apple, and blood was gushing out!
Too fast!
Gan Lai doesn't know Kung Fu, but with such skill and skill, he actually killed a guard!
The shock of blood made everyone around him move.
The first person to bear the brunt was Feng Renke. He reacted quickly and shouted: "Protect your lord!" and then hid behind Wu Jichang.
The remaining guards had already waved their embroidered spring knives to greet Gan Lai.
Chu Yuan and the others were still some distance behind them, so they were startled when they heard "Princess Donglun" being called out in front of them.
Their original "adaptive" plan was to assassinate Wu Jichang.
But Xiaobao once said that he planned to have Gan Lai pretend to be Princess Donglun to trap Wu Jichang and kill him.
Could it be that "adapting to circumstances" is in line with Xiaobao's plan?
There was no time to think about it, Wu Jichang was already fighting, and Gan Lai didn't know martial arts, so he was going to die!
Chu Yuan was so anxious that there was wind at his feet. He stomped his swollen ankle on the ground as if he could not feel the pain at all. He immediately raised his body, stepped on the shoulders of the miners in front and rushed towards Wu Jichang. He shouted loudly: "Wu Jichang, accept your life."
Come!"
At the same time, Xiao Sining and his men had drawn their swords and came to support.
In order to pretend to be a miner, long weapons cannot be brought in, and hoes and shovels must be stacked together when not working.
These boys got the waist knives by knocking out the servants of the noble Sambuza. Those who didn't get the waist knives had already pulled out the spear heads that had been turned into daggers.
There were only two personal guards left around Sambuza. He couldn't call the servants even though he called several times, but there were high-ranking officials from Daxuan around him, so he had no choice but to rush towards Xiao Sining with his sword.
When the twenty-five boys were about to gather together, Gan Lai didn't have much room to dodge the guard's embroidered spring knife.
Gan Lai simply knocked hard to the side, and the thick pillar supporting the eaves was knocked crooked. The thatch on the roof fell, hitting Wu Jichang and his group on their heads and bodies.
Although it caused no harm, it blocked the line of sight and dust got into the eyes.
Gan Lai barely dodged the Xiuchun Knife. He didn't have time to rub his painful shoulder and rushed out with the force of the rebound!
As long as they get to a place with few people, they won't be able to catch up with her!
The detectives who were originally scattered around to check the miners were rushing towards this direction because of the fire. The sound of swords and swords clashing here made them completely disregard the lives of the miners running around, and slashed away anyone who accidentally blocked the way.
Chu Qingruo wondered if she would regret it if she knew that the Xiuchun knife she produced was used by them on innocent people.
Gan Tan rushed back to guard Wu Jichang, blocking Gan Lai's path.
Gan Lai instinctively rushed towards the direction with the least number of people. There was only one uniformed detective in that direction, and he had just chopped down a miner who passed by him carelessly.
Before the chopped miner fell to the ground, Gan Lai snatched the bucket he was carrying and used the dagger to swing it left and right. She cut open the miner's head.
Gan Tan's head was bleeding and he was shaking.
In this moment, Gan Tan, who was chasing her, closed the distance. Gan Lai didn't dare to delay and ran away.
Wu Jichang's guards protected him from harm, and the guard chief, who had just walked not far away, had already turned back and was fighting with Chu Yuan and the others.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan and his gang have been pretending to be corvees during this period, either with their faces covered in plaster or with face coverings, so their faces are not exposed.
Right now, the only two people who are idle are Wu Jichang and Feng Renke, who are well protected.
Wu Jichang kept an eye on the direction in which Gan Lai was fleeing and chased him without saying a word.
Feng Renke was originally hiding behind Wu Jichang. As soon as Wu Jichang tried to chase him, Feng Renke immediately panicked and grabbed his sleeve: "Sir, it's dangerous!"
Wu Jichang shook him off with a flick of his arm.
That was Princess Donglun, and he came here under the guise of tracing her whereabouts. Now that he saw her, he had to capture her.
Even though Wu Jichang was over forty years old, he was very good at lightening his body. With enough energy, he jumped onto the roof of the work shed. There was no obstacle here.
Feng Renke didn't dare to stay where he was.
With no eyesight for swords and guns, he did not want to be accidentally injured by the two fighting sides, so he had to sneak along the bottom of the work shed to chase Wu Jichang. The thatch and dust trampled by Wu Jichang covered his head and face.
By the time they reached the end of the work shed, Wu Jichang and Gan Lai were basically neck and neck.
Wu Jichang flew down and almost caught Gan Lai's shoulder. Gan Lai waved his backhand and forced Wu Jichang to retract his hand with the dagger.
The direction in which Gan Lai escaped was the direction of the newly built blast furnace.
There were very few people here, and they had all gone to rescue the injured villagers. Only a dozen workers who had just been suppressed and forced back by Wu Jichang's guards were left.
At this time, I saw the two people chasing me. The latter was still wearing a uniform and holding a knife. He was so frightened that he could not move.
Gan Lai was afraid that they would be injured, and even more afraid that they would hinder her escape, so she shouted at them in Donglun dialect to get away.
The woman's voice, speaking Donglun dialect, strengthened Wu Jichang's determination to capture her.
The workers dispersed obediently, but there was also a dead end in front of them.
When this blast furnace was first built, due to terrain reasons, the blast furnace was backed by ore piles.
