There is a saying - open your mouth and speak from both ends.
Now that the book is here, we have to go back a little and talk about the situation of Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan.
Let's say that a quarter of an hour ago, Shi Xuanzi fell into Sun Yixie's plan to lure the tiger back to the mountain, so he led the four hall masters to leave the altar in a hurry. Before leaving, he also gave a loud order to let the people around the altar
The Fire Lotus cultists "chopped Sun and Jiang into minced meat" on the stage.
That's what he said...but when it came to the actual implementation stage, it didn't go so smoothly.
As we have mentioned many times in the previous article, the minions of the Fire Lotus Sect are all a mob. It is okay to bully and bully the common people with their strength due to their numbers and weapons, but it would be terrible if you let them deal with people who know martial arts.
They had also seen Cai Sun Yixie's surprise attack and Jiang Muchan's Qinggong just now, and without any other, these two moves alone were enough to scare away the Fire Lotus Sect's chief officials; and now... the leader and Tang
None of the masters were here, and the one with the highest martial arts skills among them was Xi Guan. Who would be willing to rush up there and die?
But no matter what, the leader's order has been issued, and they have to go even if they are just showing off.
Ever since, such a funny scene appeared...
In the two minutes after Shi Xuanzi left, hundreds of Fire Lotus cultists around the altar held their weapons high, roaring, and approaching the altar with bared teeth and claws. However, after walking for a long time... they only advanced a few steps.
distance, and no one dared to climb up.
"Ha...what did I say?" Seeing this, Sun Yixie also smiled coldly. He had obviously already guessed that this situation would happen, so he whispered to Jiang Muchan beside him.
"Brother Sun is really good at predicting things." Jiang Muchan, who couldn't laugh or cry at the scene in front of him, could only respond with a dry smile, and continued, "However, with them acting like this now, we can't escape."
"Ah?" Sun Yixie was stunned when he heard this, "No... didn't you just step on their heads and swipe up? Now you lead me and swish on them to escape.
Isn’t it over if we go?”
Jiang Muchan was also stunned: "Brother Sun, what did you say? I was able to come up like that just now because they were unprepared. Now they are all staring at us with their weapons. If I jump down like this, I'm afraid
Before his feet even touched anything, he was already strung up in mid-air."
"What?" Sun Yixie's expression changed immediately, "Then why didn't you mention this when I mentioned this plan before?"
Jiang Muchan said: "Isn't this something obvious? Needless to say, I thought Brother Sun had your own clever way to get out of trouble."
Sun Yixie was also dumbfounded now: "Oh! I thought you could take me out by flying out because of how you came up, but it turns out you can't?"
By this time, they both figured out that one of them didn't know strategy and the other didn't know Qinggong, and they both thought that the other could easily do what they imagined in areas they didn't understand.
An example that is easier for us modern people to understand is: when discussing cooperation, both parties thought that they were Party A and the other party was Party B, but when the work actually started, they realized at the same time that Party B was actually myself.
Ta-ta-ta--
While they were both stunned, several Fire Lotus cultists finally ran up from the steps on one side of the altar.
This is not surprising. When hundreds of local gangsters come together, there will always be some who are not smart enough or who are particularly courageous.
As for these few, I won’t mention their names because I can’t make them up. In short, they are also a few ruthless people. They are basically the masters who have had lives on their hands before joining the Fire Lotus Sect, and they also have a little bit of it.
effort.
The state of mind of a person like this who has killed someone is very different from that of someone who has never killed anyone. This is called difficult once and easy twice.
No one dares to take part in the current situation, but these few people feel that it is an opportunity. As long as they can successfully kill these two troublemakers, they will be able to become chief officials in the future, right?
With this in mind, they rushed over with spears and steel knives.
It's a pity that these people are not very lucky... The person guarding this side of the stairs is Sun Yixie.
If it were Jiang Muchan here, it would be okay, because Xiao Jiang is a kind-hearted person, and even in this situation, he would not take people's lives easily. The so-called mercy is to be spared.
But Sun Yixie doesn't care about this. You want to kill me, why should I be polite to you?
Wow——
The next second, I saw the trident thrust forward and slashed the minions who rushed up, including their weapons, into two pieces, just like you in that "Fruit Ninja".
It’s as easy as splitting several fruits in a row.
And because the positions of those who were struck were different, some were cut off from the waist and abdomen, some were cut off from the chest, and some had half of their heads cut off... So this scene is red, yellow,
It's white, it's sprayed everywhere on and off the stage... That's scary.
When Brother Sun made this move, the crowd of Fire Lotus cultists and ordinary people who were watching were shocked.
Under the stage, there were also people who had seen Sun Yixie at the gate of the ruined temple a few days ago. As soon as they saw this scene, the gang started to make a noise and started spreading the news that "this man is the descendant of Emperor Zhenwu."
There are rumors such as "I am in the mortal world, I am invulnerable to weapons and can cut people like clay".
This is great... no one dares to come on stage anymore.
But this group of Fire Lotus cultists were not too stupid, and soon someone came up with a very good method - fire attack.
Is this altar made of wood? Even if it doesn't burn at all, it's not difficult to burn it, right? Although we don't dare to attack it, it's hard for the other party to kill them. With this fire, we can surround those two people.
Burning him to death on the stage wouldn't solve the problem without any bloodshed?
After discussing the countermeasures, the guys in the audience got busy. Originally, there were a lot of sesame oil, yellow paper, braziers, torches and other things prepared near the Dharma altar, but they were just in use at this moment.
Not long after, the gang in the audience poured oil on the altar from all directions and quickly lit it on fire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan on the stage also knew that the situation was not good, they had nothing to do: just rush down. Just the two of them were beaten by hundreds of people.
Surrounded in the middle, even if they are a mob, the swords and spears are constantly coming at them, and their physical strength and internal strength cannot sustain them for long; don't rush down, seeing that the fire has already started, although the altar is not
It's small, but I'm afraid it won't burn for too long. After a while, thick smoke will enter the lungs, and it will be a point of death.
And just when they were in a dilemma...
At the same time, on a roof at the edge of the market entrance.
Two figures were standing there, looking leisurely at the black smoke rising in the distance.
One of these two people was the old eunuch who "taught" Jiang Muchan that night, and the other was the middle-aged man whom the old eunuch called "General Zhao Qi."
"Eunuch Wei, why don't we... give them a hand?" Zhao Zongqi looked in the direction of the altar and tentatively said to the old eunuch beside him.
"Huh?" When Eunuch Wei heard this, he glanced at Mr. Zhao Qi and said slowly, "Mr. Zhao Qi, where did you start talking about this?" He paused, "Not to mention that they are still here.
We may not be able to bring down the Fire Lotus Immortal, and even if we can...it doesn't mean we owe them anything."
General Zhao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, with or without them, we will have to deal with the Fire Lotus Sect sooner or later, but if they really succeed in doing this today, it will save us a lot of effort.
…”
"Haha..." Eunuch Wei laughed when he heard this, "What Mr. Zhao is thinking in his heart is probably not 'they helped us', but 'they helped the people', right?"
General Zhao Qi did not accept this statement.
Eunuch Wei also knew why he didn't answer, so he quickly continued: "We understand~ Mr. Zhao Qi, you are a decent person. It's up to me, a slave, to say such ugly things..." He said
, tilted his head slightly, flicked a whisk in his hand onto his arm, and said eloquently, "Those of us who eat royal food must put the word 'loyalty' first, as for that
It's good to have the word 'righteousness', but it doesn't matter if you don't..." He said, slowly turning around and looking directly at the other person, "You go out to help them now, even if you are covering your face, you are still helping them.
Expose yourself in front of others... nothing will happen if nothing happens from now on, but what if something happens? What if the Great Immortal Fire Lotus is not dead? What about the prince, who was frightened by you? Can you bear the consequences?"
"What my father-in-law said is... Zhao has lost his integrity." Zhao Zongqi really couldn't refute this.
Since he is a member of the public family, between duty and chivalry, he must protect the former first, otherwise he is likely to pay the price.
"Besides..." After a breath, Eunuch Wei continued, "If they really all die here today, it was their own choice. Who told them to be 'xia'?"
As soon as he finished saying this, General Zhao Qi had not yet responded, when suddenly...
On the empty road in the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves. If you follow the sound, you can see five fast horses galloping all the way from the direction of the city gate.
There are five horses, but there are only two people on them, one is Wen Yuzhai and the other is Xiao Wuji.
In the blink of an eye, the horses arrived near the market entrance and stopped suddenly outside the crowd.
Before the neighing of the horses was finished, the flute in Wen Yuzhai's hand was already playing.
The music he played this time had no "melodious" artistic conception at all, but it was like a river flowing into the sea, and the waves destroying the mountains. It had the momentum of "the wind blowing through the valleys and shaking the forest in the sky".
And with the sound of the flute, chaos broke out within a radius of more than 100 meters...
After hearing the sound of the flute, the crowd around the altar felt as if they had suddenly become seasick. They felt dizzy, staggering around, and some who were in poor health sat on the ground on the spot.
"Haha..." Eunuch Wei, who was standing on the roof, smiled when he saw this scene. With his internal strength, he would not be affected by the sound of the flute, so he remained calm when he spoke, "
Mr. Zhao Qi, look, isn’t there someone here to save them?”
Zhao Zongqi stood very steadily, and his eyes were more alert than before. He stared at Wen Yuzhai's back from a distance and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this young man playing the flute,
It should be Wen Yuzhai, who is known as the 'Thatched Cottage Young Master' in the world... I didn't expect them to be related to this person. It seems that Zhao really misunderstood them."
"Oh?" Eunuch Wei didn't seem to care, "Is this flute boy...very good in the world?"
"Uh..." Zhao Zongqi thought for a moment and replied, "I have some talent, but compared to my father-in-law...it's not worth mentioning."
"Hahaha..." Mr. Wei laughed heartily, "You don't have to flatter our family like this. Even if you flatter these little brats in the world, our family won't care."
The two of them were chatting happily there, but Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan on the stage felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Muchan's internal strength was already poor, and the internal injuries suffered by Eunuch Wei had not yet healed. At this moment, he was surrounded by thick smoke and had difficulty breathing. After being frightened by the sound of the flute, he fell down.
As for Sun Yixie, because of the five-year skill foundation gained by Tie Monk Yihuai and the magical skill of Reversing the Universe that he has practiced, his current condition is actually better than that of Jiang Muchan, but that's all.
...With Brother Sun's Qinggong, it would be impossible for him to "fly" out with Jiang Muchan.
Just when the two of them were in crisis, suddenly! A figure flew up from a distance, rose and fell a few times, and then approached the altar. Then he stepped on it, flew straight up, and broke through the fire.
When he stood on the altar, Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan saw clearly that the person who came... was none other than Xiao Wuji.
"Why are you here?" Sun Yixie blurted out this sentence when she saw him.
Xiao Wuji just smiled and said: "Heh... I'm here to save you."
"Are you so kind?" Jiang Muchan looked puzzled.
"What's there to be suspicious of?" Xiao Wuji said, "If I want you to die, I can just watch from a distance. What are you doing here?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What he said does make sense. In addition, Sun Yixie once heard the sound of Wen Yuzhai's flute, so after a few seconds of thinking,
Sun Yixie roughly guessed who rescued Xiao Wuji from the thatched hut. He followed closely and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up! Your ass is on fire!"
Xiao Wuji was amused by his comment, but he did not quarrel with Sun Yixie any more because the fire around him was indeed burning very quickly.
The next second, Xiao Wuji took two steps forward, one hand in each hand, and grabbed the waists of Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan from behind. Then he used Qinggong and jumped out of the altar.
At this moment, because everyone in the audience was dizzy and lying down, in worse condition than Sun Jiang and the others, Xiao Wuji could easily step on them and "fly".
Not long after, Xiao Wuji brought Sun and Jiang to Wen Yuzhai, and threw them directly onto the backs of two empty horses.
Wen Yuzhai stopped playing the flute when they were still more than ten meters away from him. When someone came closer, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Sun, Brother Jiang, you're polite."
"I'm not polite to you anymore..." After Sun Yixie mounted the horse, because the sound of the flute had stopped, he quickly regained his breath, so he grabbed the reins and said, "Let's go find Brother Huang first, I know he
Where the ambush is, follow me!"
Before the other three people answered, Sun Yixie had already shaken the reins and rode away.
Upon seeing this, Wen Yuzhai, Xiao Wuji and Jiang Muchan exchanged glances with each other, and then followed suit.
In a short while, they rode through the alley and crossed onto the main road connecting the market entrance and the Fire Lotus Sect's main altar, and happened to meet Huang Donglai who was running towards the market.
"Eh? What's going on?" Huang Donglai was also stunned when he saw the four people and five horses opposite.
"I don't know, but you can come up and talk about it first," Sun Yixie replied.
"Oh... ok." Huang Donglai hesitated for a moment, and then he came to his senses - at least at this moment, Xiao Wuji had no ill intentions towards them; besides, Wen Yuzhai was also present, so Huang Donglai felt free to mount his horse.
.
"By the way, where are Shi Xuanzi and his several hall masters?" Sun Yixie asked again when Huang Donglai got on his horse.
Huang Donglai had just sat down when he heard these words, and he replied proudly: "Ha! What do you think?"
"So you have already taken care of them?" Sun Yixie knew the answer just by looking at his expression.
"Not only was it done, but the ashes were also raised." Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Okay, Brother Huang, you have the strength." Sun Yixie said.
"Hey~ it's all normal operations." Huang Donglai was ready to start boasting.
However, Wen Yuzhai interrupted him: "You two, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. We should wait until we leave the city to talk about anything we have to say."
Mr. Wen was still reliable, and of course everyone agreed with what he said, so the five of them quickly turned their horses around and headed towards the city gate.
Eunuch Wei and Mr. Zhao, who had followed them all the way from the roof, stopped chasing after them because they had already heard a key piece of news - Shi Xuanzi was dead.
"Haha... these boys are very capable. I didn't expect that they really got rid of the Fire Lotus Immortal just by relying on a few people. They used some strategies and ambushes." Eunuch Wei was smiling so much now.
I am really happy, "Mr. Zhao... As a result, we have to step up the next few steps."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, Zhao will give the order immediately. None of these remnants of the Fire Lotus Sect can escape," General Zhao Qi continued.
"People don't matter, they can be dealt with however they want." Wei Gongzheng said, "The important thing is... we must first send someone to 'manage' their main altar; what about the things in there... which ones are important and which ones can be used"
You just need to report it to the higher authorities, so you don’t need to be taught by our family, right?”
His words, let alone the general banner, can be understood by any Jin Yiwei.
In other words... when a house is searched, the gold and silver found are fine and soft, and it's okay to let the person who handles them take away some of it, but "letters" and other things must be checked rigorously, and everything must be checked to be watertight.
...Whoever missed it, I will search your house tomorrow.
"Zhao understands, let's do it now." After Zhao Zongqi said that, he ran away like a ghost; this light skill was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning. Compared with Jiang Muchan, he was even more vulnerable.
.
But after he left, Eunuch Wei clasped his hands behind his back and once again looked in the direction in which the five young people were leaving, muttering in his mouth: "'The east is harmonious with the west's poison'... Well... let's just remember it."
