Jiaohua

Chapter 542 Completely Collapsed (Part [-])
Said to be rushing, but did not break in from the main gate. There were more than 70 black-clothed men lurking on the high wall in advance, quietly, and when they heard a sharp whistle, they all rushed down and ran directly to the main hall.

Zhu Xian shivered and looked out.

Lu Mingfeng and Mu Tingyu also looked up at the same time.

"This is..." Mu Tingyu said.

Lu Mingfeng didn't react so quickly, and once suspected that he had heard it wrong.

In addition to the Tianrongwei hiding in the dark, there are more than 80 skilled soldiers in the mansion. The sudden assassin broke through the first and second lines of defense at the fastest speed, but was intercepted outside the main hall.

The menacing assassin swung his knife and slashed, and the soldiers guarding the house did not give way.

Both sides used big knives, the sharp and powerful blades collided, filled with strength, and if they were not careful, they would die without a whole body.

The five assassins went straight to the main hall, intending to hijack Lu Mingfeng and then go looking for Zhu Xian, but when they broke in, they saw a huge tiger cage, and Zhu Xian in the cage moved towards the wall in fear.

The guards in the house did not give these assassins a moment to breathe, and swung their knives at them.

The rest of the people escorted Lu Mingfeng, Mu Tingyu and others to leave, and a guard frantically went to unlock the lock.

Zhu Xian's heart was beating fast, and his mind was empty.

Although there have been more than one psychological experience of people being swordsmen and me being fish, it has never been so close and clear as it is now.

Seeing another person rushing desperately outside the house, Lu Mingfeng pulled out the saber of the guard beside him and ran towards the tiger cage.

"Lord Lu!" Mu Tingyu exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to grab something empty.

Zhu Xian's hands and feet were tied, and he tried his best to hide in the innermost place. Lu Mingfeng pushed away the guard who was not in the right keyhole, and stabbed Zhu Xian five times with a big knife in his hand, three hits and two misses.

Zhu Xian's eyes widened, the blood gushing from the ruptured viscera overflowed from his lips that were wrapped around the white silk and unable to speak.

Lu Mingfeng threw away the sword and said, "Let's go!"

There was a fierce battle outside the house, blood was splashed in the courtyard, and the smell was scattered. Several assassins rushed into the house and opened the cage under the cover of their companions.

Zhu Xian leaned against the corner, struggling to breathe, with a lot of blood-colored foam under his nose, and stared at the assassins rushing in with his eyes open.

He didn't feel much better until someone took off the white silk from his mouth.

A tall man carried him on his back and ran outside. Blood gushed from the squeezed wound, and he was sweating from the pain, twitching and freezing cold.

I don't know how long it has passed, time seems to be fast, but it seems to be very slow. A gust of cold wind blows in front of me, bringing a clear and anxious voice from a girl in the distance: "Lord Zhu!"

The assassins who rescued him stopped, and the man carrying him threw him on the ground like a sack.

"Stop!" Song Qingtang shouted loudly when he saw these people running away.

Zhu Xian was lying on his side on the ground, he had lost the strength to turn over, he was gasping for breath, and looked at the long street in front of him.

In the dim light, the girl came running wildly, Zhu Xian moved his fingers, wanting to catch her.

"Master Zhu!" Xia Zhaoyi grasped his cold hand, and looked at his official robe that was soaked in blood to a dark color.

Zhu Xian clenched her hand tightly, unable to speak, his eyes were full of despair and fear, tears and blood mixed together, his body was violently convulsed and trembling.

He opened his mouth and spat out two words with difficulty: "Bai... surname..."

Xia Zhaoyi burst into tears.

Song Qingtang and Shen Lie's men finally ran over.

Zhu Xian was lying on the ground, half of his body was covered with blood, his eyes were half-opened, and there was no trace of expression in them.

·
The collapse of the Jingzhao Mansion and the departure of the guards who stayed behind in the capital directly paralyzed the entire capital.

A large number of people fled out of the city gates that were not guarded, and the disorderly escape caused several terrible stampedes. No one counted the casualties, and there were large pieces of blood and corpses dripping from several city gates.

After leaving the city, there are more looting and fighting incidents. The big families are closely united, and the withered ones are trying to find alliances.

Many greedy and crazy eyes stared at those carriages. Once someone in the crowd stood up and incited, those who rode in the carriages would not only face the disaster of extinction, but also the difficulty of extinction.

In addition to the large number of people who fled, there are also many people who choose to stay in the city.

Some people are unwilling to leave their hometowns out of conservativeness, and some people are afraid that it will be more terrible outside the capital, so they dare not leave easily.

And the capital city was not so good. Empty houses were occupied or set on fire, and those intact furniture that could not be taken away were evacuated.

Needless to say, the imperial palace has already been rushed into by tens of thousands of people.A large number of rich and noble families also suffered disasters. Among the mansions of princes and generals, only a few households escaped the catastrophe because they did not have more energy to occupy and plunder.

In the city, whether it is night or day, soaring fires can be seen everywhere, some uncontrollable fires, devouring houses in several streets.

There is also a fire behind Dongping Academy, the fire is not big and can only be seen nearby.

Sitting on the steps, Xia Zhaoyi looked up at the outer flame at the top. The sky was clear and blue, like a thousand miles away.

Li Guanshi walked quickly from outside, and whispered next to Zhao Ning: "The gates of several major cities are severely blocked, and there are people on the other side of the street. Depending on the situation, we will not be able to get out tonight."

Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Then we will find a city gate with few people tomorrow."

Song Qingtang stood aside, frowning upon hearing this.

His father and the gentlemen from Dongping Academy left the city together, belonging to the earliest batch, and it was already two days ago.

In the past two days, because there were still people from Tianrongwei and Yanyunwei Fangchengwei in the city, they did not leave the city immediately and cremate Zhu Xian, so it was delayed until today.

According to the current blocking situation, I am afraid that this road will not be encountered.

And, those soldiers and horses of General Ouyang have gone to nowhere now, will they go back to the north with General Ouyang?

Shen Lie's subordinate also came in from the outside at this time, carrying a small bundle in his hand.

"Miss Ali." The subordinate said softly, and put the small bundle on the steps beside Xia Zhaoyi.

"What is this?" Song Qingtang said.

"Those men in black who broke into General Zhen Guo's mansion the night before yesterday." The subordinate replied.

Song Qingtang immediately went over and stretched out his hand to open the bundle.

Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at him.

In the bundle were several concealed weapons wrapped in coarse cloth, a jade tablet, two handkerchiefs, and a shoe.

"They were all from dead people," said the subordinate. "The owner of the jade tablet died in the Huawu Pavilion of the Qian Mansion. He was wounded and escaped. He couldn't hold on and died there. The body was not found and taken away."

"This shoe..." Song Qingtang said.

"An unburnt half corpse with a name embroidered on the sole."

Song Qingtang lifted it up, it really did.

"Li Huaicheng." Song Qingtang said.

Zhao Ning frowned slightly, and looked towards Song Qingtang.

Song Qingtang felt something, and looked up at her: "Miss Zhao knows you?"

"It's very familiar," Zhao Ning said, "but I can't remember where I heard it."
