I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 446 Hunting
Chapter 446

The sound of the sword clashing echoed in the dark night. Under the cover of the night, the Forbidden Dragon Guard was like an evil ghost harvesting human lives from the underworld. Under the splash of blood, a human life disappeared.

"Uncle Jiu, let's go back quickly..." Repressing the panic in his heart, Jin Xu followed closely behind Master Jin Jiu, watching the figures fighting fiercely together, Jin Xu couldn't stop holding the long sword trembling.

"Shut up!" With a stern voice, Jin Jiuye's face became extremely gloomy. He thought that Zhan Feiyu was a smart person, and he would definitely not do stupid things like killing one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred.

But Jin Jiuye didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to completely disregard her reputation as a scholar, and she wanted to kill the Jin family!
Shivering in fright from Jin Xu who scolded him, he glanced at Jin Jiuye, who was standing still, and then at the murderous Forbidden Dragon Guard. After hesitating for a moment, Jin Xu gritted his teeth and turned to run towards the dark alley. Go, he doesn't stay here, otherwise it will only be a dead end.

Looking at the fleeing Jin Xu from the corner of the eye, a murderous look burst out from Jin Jiuye's dark eyes. With a wave of his left hand, he saw a short arrow in his sleeve shoot out.

"Ah..." Jin Xu, who was shot in the back by a sharp arrow, let out a scream, and his running body staggered forward and finally fell to the ground. After a few moves, he was already lifeless.

He Nuan, who had been guarding Zhan Feiyu all the time, couldn't help being startled, and looked warily at Jin Jiuye who lowered his arms, and he actually killed his nephew.

Zhan Feiyu, who also witnessed this scene, remained calm, but his eyes became more determined. If Jin Jiuye is such a cruel and merciless person, once he is allowed to leave, it will definitely cause endless troubles.

Jin Jiuye gave Zhan Feiyu a sinister sneer across the fiercely fighting crowd, and compared the movements of killing each other with his right hand on his neck, tonight it's either you or me!

……

This night was a sleepless night for many forces in Minhe Prefecture. In the market not far from the pier, several forces were hiding in the dark until a huge explosion sounded, accompanied by the flames and thick smoke that soared into the sky. Only then did the people hiding in the dark show up in shock.

"My lord." Chen Fan and Xiao Zimo guarded Master Yao from left to right. As for the ghosts in the dark, they didn't have the guts to assassinate him. The guards following Master Yao had to guard against the desperate Jin Family.

"It doesn't matter." Master Yao continued to walk forward, raised his hand and opened the window to look towards the pier under the bleak moonlight. The small building on the second floor has a very good view, "Did you find that someone arranged gunpowder at the pier during the day?"

Knowing that Jin Jiuye had asked Zhan Feiyu to meet at the pier late at night, Chen Fan followed Master Yao's order and drove away all the people at the wharf who were unhappy, and also checked the pier carefully, but found nothing unusual at that time.

Master Zheng on the side frowned and thought, "It should be the Forbidden Dragon Guard who can plant the gunpowder silently."

Although the Jin family was wealthy, they were only merchants after all. Even if the Jin family colluded with the barbarians, gunpowder was of great importance to the imperial court. It was impossible for the Jin family to obtain so much gunpowder.

Master Yao nodded in agreement, thinking of the Minhe government office that was bombed before, Master Yao also went to the backyard to check at that time, the ancient well with the roster hanging was blown into ruins, everything from the flowers and trees in the yard to the house was destroyed by gunpowder It was destroyed, causing a fire that scorched the entire backyard.

At that time, Lord Yao thought it was the handwriting of those princes in the palace, but now hearing the deafening explosion, Lord Yao realized that it was actually arranged by the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

No, to be more precise, it was Zhan Feiyu who handed over the roster to Yuan Zhifu through Yao Zhenyi, and then blew up the roster.

Third Young Master Min, who was also watching the battle in secret, frowned, "Send two people to the pier to investigate the situation. If you meet someone from the Jin family, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes, son." The two figures quickly disappeared under the night.

The staff at the side wiped their faces fiercely, and after their heartbeats calmed down, they whispered: "Miss Zhan is going to kill the Jin family."

The staff couldn't help but rejoice that Zhan Feiyu hadn't killed them in Suzhou Prefecture before, otherwise, once the gunpowder was arranged, it would be either death or injury. Zhan Feiyu thought about the second prince and showed mercy to the Min family's subordinates.

"Forbidden Dragon Guards are just a bunch of desperate lunatics, aren't they afraid of blowing themselves up?" Third Master Min couldn't help cursing, but he kept his distance from Forbidden Dragon Guards from the bottom of his heart.

During the time of the first emperor, some craftsmen made gunpowder. Once this thing was ignited, it would have the power of landslides and earth-shattering, but it was not easy to preserve. The army once thought of using gunpowder to resist barbarians.

But the final result was that the gunpowder exploded on the city tower before it was thrown out. Dozens of soldiers defending the city were killed on the spot, and hundreds of people lost their arms and legs.

The first emperor later issued a ban, not only the army but also the civilians were prohibited from developing gunpowder, but the power of gunpowder was indeed exciting. Later, there were several accidents, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. In the most serious one, it is said that the entire workshop was blown into ruins. The craftsmen who studied gunpowder were either killed by bombing or crushed to death by collapsed houses. Since then, no one will study gunpowder in private.

The third son of Min did not expect that the forbidden dragon guard had gunpowder in his hand, and he used it again and again.

Compared with other people watching the battle, in the darkness, there is a group of people who are waiting in full battle, just waiting for an order, and will immediately join in the bloody fight at the pier.

"Report!" A figure flew over from the night, knelt on one knee and quickly reported the latest battle situation to Commander Xie.

Commander Xie's face was sullen, and the right hand that was holding the knife handle was trembling slightly due to the force. After listening to his subordinate's report, Commander Xie extended a cold and frightening voice, "Huang Qi, take someone to the east main gate of the pier... Zhao Fangyuan, take someone to the north of the pier..."

After the orders were issued, Commander Xie put on a black mask and led a group of people straight to the pier. Anyone who met them died under their butcher's knives.

……

After dawn, the people who lived not far from the pier walked over to the pier together. With the breeze blowing by the river, they could vaguely smell the burning smell and the bloody smell that hadn't dissipated in time. taste.

"Did you hear that last night?" The voice of the uncle who spoke was low, and he didn't dare to raise his voice in broad daylight, for fear of disturbing someone and killing him.

"Why can't you hear such a loud noise, it's like thunder. Didn't the messenger say during the day that no matter what you hear, you should close the door tightly, don't go out to check, and you can't go to the dock."

The aunt who answered said that Minhe Mansion is not peaceful these days, and after the curfew at night, there are police officers patrolling the streets.

Not to mention that during the day, the servants of the yamen repeatedly emphasized that even if the money was dropped from the sky last night, they would not dare to come out. No matter how good the money is, they will spend it.

The number of common people accompanying them is increasing, and when they reach the main east gate of the wharf, there are a total of six to seventy people. Looking at the wisps of green smoke, all the common people look at each other, and they all think of the mansion that was burned to ruins that day. Ya, but this time it was replaced by a pier.

"Idle people waiting, leave immediately!" The policeman guarding the pier shouted loudly after beating the gong, patted the saber on his waist, and prohibited the people from coming.

"Why do I smell the smell of burnt corpses?" Cook Liu sniffed his nose. When he opened his mouth, a group of people who were still poking around stopped in their tracks. They got closer, and they could really smell it. Indescribable taste.

Compared with the noisy pier, and the forces of all parties who have been busy all night, at this moment Mu Xiangjuli, Zhan Feiyu glanced at Yin Wuyan who was standing by the bed with a guilty conscience, "I soaked in the water and then Come out, there is not even a quarter of an hour..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhan Feiyu sneezed and confessed with a bitter face.

Last night, the gunpowder explosion caught Jin Jiuye by surprise. Even though the Jin family had set up a net, the power of the gunpowder explosion was not something that flesh and blood could resist. Zhan Feiyu also jumped into the river and left according to the original plan.

It's a pity that she roughly estimated her physique. Even in the south of the Yangtze River in May, the river water is still cold, not to mention that this is Longyou Road. No one else came back and took a hot bath and changed their wet clothes. Everyone is fine. , only Zhan Feiyu caught cold.
