Chapter 271 The street scene that seems to be ending
The stars were falling, and before midnight, the city of Hangzhou gradually became quiet.
The commotion caused by Qi Yuankang's rebellion has not yet dissipated. However, the movement caused by the fleeing party members and stubborn resisters has been suppressed within a very small range. The lights in the city were extinguished to the minimum.
It was so gloomy that soldiers occasionally walked through the streets, and a handful of people who had not yet gone home hurried back. Although the incident was a bit big, martial law had not yet begun in the city, and soldiers would conduct a brief search in some places.
, but not to the point where no one dares to go out.
At Sijizhai, the banquet has also dispersed. As the shopkeeper, Wen Renfuer is instructing the few remaining boys to organize the things in the store. What everyone is talking about tonight may not be the event organized by Zhu Yanlin.
Wenhui, but only the battle between Ning Yi, Liu Jin and Li Tianyou later. When the woman holding the box later went upstairs, Li Tianyou waved to a group of soldiers who followed and left. This scene
It brought a lot of doubts to everyone, but when the woman then left with the box in her arms, the cultural gathering in the building came to an end.
The doctor who came later began to treat Liu Jin, and also bandaged and treated Ning Yi. When several figures from the Ba Dao camp came in to clean up the mess, everyone said goodbye to Zhu Yanlin, because they were fighting with Ba Dao in Hangzhou City.
There are not many people who have interacted with the camp, and everyone is still a little unfamiliar with the people who came in. At most, they know that the Badao camp operates a business such as lumber, but they can't establish friendship at this time. If you want to speculate,
, it’s just that someone from the Ba Dao camp came, and Li Tianyou suffered another loss. Knowing that it was useless to continue to pester him, he had no choice but to retreat.
If you are someone with a deeper relationship and a higher status in the Fang La military system, you will think of other things. For example, who is the woman who came and only showed her face and then left? For example, Zhu Yanlin who went downstairs earlier had someone.
An idea. This woman who suddenly came over was probably the rumored Liu Dabiao himself. But he was really not sure about this. Coincidentally, even Wen Renfuer, who was watching from the side, had thought about it.
This is possible. In a short period of time, he received a lot of news from the city.
The news of the rebellion came suddenly before. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. It can only be said that regardless of whether Qi Yuankang, the political advisor, was sincere in the rebellion, this time it was the higher-ups who first made a plan to deal with him, and Qi Yuankang was later forced to make a decision.
The final resistance. But then it was Liu Dabiao's Batao Battalion that decided all this, the army remaining in Hangzhou at this time. Although the Batao Battalion only had 800 people, it was one of the backbone of Fang La's men. Only Ba Dao
The battalion has always kept a low profile. It is not part of the center, and it is difficult to estimate the weight of this army. It is conceivable that the plan to deal with Qi Yuankang was opposed by the Ba Dao battalion at the beginning, but in the end, Liu Dabiao had no choice but to make a decision
After receiving her approval, she first sent someone to deliver a poem to Qi Yuankang's neighborhood. This poem exactly matched what the woman who came upstairs later wrote, and it was called "Swordsman":
"The world's turmoil comes from my generation, and the time comes when I enter the world.
Talking and laughing about grand plans and hegemony, life is a drunken experience.
He held his sword while riding astride and swung the ghost rain, causing bones as white as a mountain bird to fly away in fright.
The world is like a tide and people are like water. It is empty to sigh that only a few people return to the rivers and lakes."
Among the few information Wenren Fuji had about Ba Dao Camp before, this woman named Liu Dabiao did not have such literary talent. It is not known who wrote this poem. Qi Yuankang's actions
After setting the tone and sighing, Liu Dabiao led the most elite force of Ba Dao Camp to rush in. After a fierce battle, he beheaded Qi Yuankang with his own hands. Everything after that was just the aftermath that was still going on.
.
As for the Xuanwei camp who was involved in this matter, it was obvious that they had received the news after Qi Yuankang's death. Under the Sijizhai, the surrounding soldiers would not have allowed the woman to go upstairs, but apparently, the woman wrote
After this poem was published, a staff member of the Xuanwei camp realized something was wrong and quickly came up to inform Li Tianyou. Li Tianyou also left angrily because of this. This is a fact that Wenren Buer can grasp now. During this period, that
The woman's identity has become one of the doubts that attracted the most attention tonight.
However, Wenren Fujian was not thinking about this matter at this time. Whether the woman was Liu Dabiao or someone else was pretending to be powerful, there was not much meaning in thinking about it at this time. At this time, he was standing in the small box that had been destroyed.
, carefully inspecting everything around him.
This matter did not have much meaning or confusion in the eyes of Zhu Yanlin or the forty or fifty literati and famous prostitutes in the brothel who were watching, but for many people present who knew martial arts, it was almost an unsolvable mystery.
After Tang Kou was killed, both the people in the Xuanwei camp and the onlookers Wen Renfuer immediately looked for all the suspicious figures in the private room and even around it. Everyone was sure that Ning Yi could not kill him.
The man named Tang Kou, given his style, most likely just set up an ambush or arranged helpers in this dark little box. However, although everyone in the Xuanwei Camp reacted quickly, they
No suspicious traces were found.
Wenren Fuji leaned over there at that time, and this was actually his intention. He wanted to enter the small room and kill Tang Kou before everyone could react. But then things happened so fast that he couldn't even
It was too late. To say the least, even if he had thought of a way to get in, and he could have chopped off Tang Kou's head with a single knife, but he would never have been able to escape from the room in such a short period of time.
So, if there may be a third person in this room at that time... who is he?
******************
The night wind blew, carrying the coolness of late autumn. Ning Yi walked on the street, assessing everything that had happened before, so that his head could clear up a little.
To him, tonight's battle was really a desperate attempt without any certainty. If he made one wrong step, he might lose his life. He was mentally prepared for this.
But after doing it, I still feel a huge sense of fatigue from the rest of my life. Everything before was really like a dream. If I let him do it again, I really don’t know what it will be like - although he is always
Think so.
After the fight, several people from Badaozhuang arrived. These people were of low status. Ning Yi only knew one of them. He was a carpenter. His injuries were not very serious. But Liu Jin's situation was really not good.
At the moment, he could only ask the doctor to treat him at a nearby medical center. After confirming that Liu Jin's life was not in danger, he was about to take a walk home. Two people from Ba Daozhuang followed him all the way. At this time, it was good.
Keep him safe.
To be fair, Ning Yi was actually a little surprised by the appearance of these people. Seeing the straightforward manner in which Li Tianyou left, he was also a little suspicious at this time. The woman who only showed one side was not wearing a veil and was dressed in Chinese clothes.
Liu Dabiao dressed up. But if it is really Liu Dabiao, then the people who followed her to deal with the aftermath. Even if they are not the personal guards of Ba Dao Camp, they should be one of the eight people who "kill people to pay debts and pay back money." On this road,
He also asked. However, the two people following him did not know the identity of the other party. They only knew that someone had brought a token to look for them. They were also nearby just now, so they came over quickly.
"But that woman is really beautiful. If she is the owner of the village, we will believe it."
"The back looks really similar..."
"If the owner of the village hears us talking about her like this, he will be scolded..."
"I think it's someone close to the village owner. Mr. Ning has never seen him?"
The two people were chatting around. Liu Dabiao was quite majestic in the hearts of the people in the village, but he kept a distance after all. There were not many people below who could see the masked village owner, let alone the unmasked ones. That's right.
Then, a figure appeared on the road ahead. When the two saw it, they both immediately shut up.
At this time, it was still quite far from Xiliu Street, where Badao Village is now located. This street seemed quiet, and all the shops, large and small, were closed, but on the street not far away, the lights of a shop were still on.
It was a small restaurant selling pig scalp and other braised vegetables. There was a shed outside the door. At this time, at a dining table under the wooden shed, the woman who appeared before was sitting with her back to this side.
It seemed that he was eating, and the long wooden box used to store the boss was placed on the side of the dining table.
"You...go back first." Ning Yi said softly to the two people around him.
"But if we leave and you are alone..."
"That girl can scare Li Tianyou away by herself. With her here, I should be fine... Besides, if she is really the owner of your village, there is nothing wrong with you just going up to see her like this. If you eat pai Tou in the future, you can't blame me.
.”
Saying this, the two of them thought for a while, then nodded, and walked around the street, only sneaking a look or two at the woman's face as they walked past. Ning Yi passed by from behind, and for the time being, he felt that in front of him
The woman may not be Liu Dabiao, but her body shape does seem somewhat similar, but her current temperament is different.
"Da Biao?"
As he said this, he sat down on the seat next to him. The woman was eating and glanced at him. Her expression did not appear to be repulsive, nor did she look particularly friendly. She was beautiful and seemed to be quite charming.
She had the temperament of a wealthy daughter, and even had a little baby fat on her face, but her skin did not look rosy. Instead, she looked very tired after a hard day's work. She swallowed the food in her mouth and heard her say: "Is the injury okay?
"
"It's not serious, thank you." There was a bandage on his head, making Ning Yi look like an Arab wearing a crooked hat. But compared to Liu Jin, he can run and jump after all, and his body is covered with skin.
There were no signs of external injuries or concussion. As a fierce warrior who claimed to be a bloody massacrer, there was no need to take himself too seriously.
"If nothing is wrong, go back quickly. It's not peaceful tonight. You shouldn't stay here all the time."
"It seems to be fine." The other party did not confirm his identity. Ning Yi could only look at the wooden box. It was indeed the box used to store Liu Dabiao's Ba Dao. However, in Ba Dao Mansion, there was more than one such box.
, then looked at the woman's face, which looked a little confused, and asked tentatively: "Are you injured?"
The woman glanced at him and then said, "Then let's eat together."
There were only a few stewed vegetables on the table, but Ning Yi was hungry anyway and a little curious about this woman. He went to the shop owner to get a bowl of chopsticks, filled a bowl of rice and started eating. The two of them didn't speak for a while.
After just a few bites, a carriage drove by not far away. Soon after, the visitor confirmed his suspicions.
There were ** followers accompanying him. The person who got out of the car at this time was Lou Jingzhi, who had met once in the Four Seasons Studio. He got out of the car and saw the girl under the shed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He just saw
Ning Yi frowned again, and then walked over.
"Liu... Dabiao. And this is Mr. Ning... Can I sit down?" At first, he seemed to have some considerations about the title, but in the end he called Liu Dabiao, but for Ning Yi, it was purely perfunctory.
Ning Yi saw that the girl didn't have much intention to drive him away, so he stayed. At this time, he felt a slight headache.
There is an engagement between Lou Jingzhi and Liu Dabiao...
It seems that the young couple rushed here to meet each other, so it would be a bit unethical for him to intervene like this.
He sighed in his heart and was about to say goodbye, but after a moment, what happened made him realize that everything was not what he thought.
"I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ning Yi is not a sloppy person. He raised his fists as he spoke. Next to him, Liu Dabiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lou Jingzhi: "You'd better not sit down." He then said to Ning Yi, "Sit down and leave after eating.
"Her voice towards Ning Yi was much softer.
Even though he had experienced many things, Ning Yi still felt a little bored when facing the situation in front of him. On the opposite side, Lou Jingzhi glanced at him, then opened the bench next to him, sat down, and ignored him.
Ning Yi.
"I... know what happened tonight. I just happened to pass by. I knew you were not in a good mood, so I came to take a look..."
The night was quiet, and the sound of life sounded, which seemed quite gentle...

I got up too late, and finally it wasn’t the 9th. (To be continued...)
