Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Jia Cong was sitting on the boat, feeling restless. He always felt that something was wrong. The trip seemed to be too smooth.

In particular, the so-called tough bandits from the Dahe Gang were easily gathered and annihilated by the army. Therefore, they only stayed in Yangzhou for one day and decided to return early and overnight.

Looking at the brilliantly lit ancient city of Jinling and the densely populated Kongming lanterns rising in the city, Jia Cong's uneasiness became more intense.

As soon as the boat docked outside Qingliang Gate, he saw all kinds of special fireworks exploding in the sky, and Jia Cong's heart tightened.

Wen Youfang made a careful identification and said, "Sir, the Imperial Guards in the city are lighting up communication fireworks and urgently summoning the captains and cavalry from all over the city to assemble. There seems to be a big change in the city!"

Jia Cong secretly thought, there is indeed a ghost! Instead, he felt relieved, as long as the enemy in the dark dared to take action, he would not be afraid.

"Ruan Yanghui! Order the sergeants on board to immediately block all ports leaving the city! No ships are allowed to enter or exit! Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Jia Cong sneered, the thieves are so brave, they dare to go straight to Huanglong, take advantage of the empty defense of Jinling, and come to the city to cause trouble!

Southern boats and northern horses, I don’t believe you can carry so many things away. If you want to go, you must take a boat.

The city has been heavily guarded for a long time. It can hide so many people without revealing any flaws. It seems that the energy inside is not small.

In an instant, Jia Cong had thought a lot. But what he didn't expect was that the thieves not only wanted to rob money, but also people.

"Yuanba, Shuangying, follow me into the city to attack the thieves!" Jia Cong got on his horse.

"Yes!"

Dozens of soldiers and cavalrymen and a few cavalrymen in royal robes rushed off the warship.

Entering the inner city, I saw fires everywhere, thick smoke billowing, people putting out the fire, people crying for their mothers, and people calling for help, it was a mess.

Jia Cong did not argue and led people straight to Rong Mansion.

Suddenly I heard a Tiqi riding on the street greeting Wen Youfang and others.

"Brother, quickly follow me to rescue the Admiral's family outside Zhengyang Gate. I'm afraid it'll be too late!"

This Tiqi had just been rushed into the city by the crowd outside Zhengyang Gate. He thought that the thieves had already planned to use the chaos to cause trouble. It was useless to block him here. It was better to go back and bring in reinforcements.

After calling a few people, I turned around and went back to the city to call for people. I happened to meet Wen Youfang and others wearing Feiyu uniforms.

Hissing law! Jia Cong suddenly reined in the horse, turned around and shouted: "What did you say?!"

When Na Tiqi suddenly saw Jia Cong, he was startled and said hurriedly: "Admiral, there is a chaos outside Zhengyang Gate. Your grandma and girl happen to be setting off lanterns there tonight..."

"Bastard!" Jia Cong was shocked and angry. Before he could finish speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards Zhengyang Gate.

Drive, drive, drive! Jia Cong kept urging his horse and led the people to run along Qingliangmennei Street.

Point your spear forward, and when you encounter people who are unable to dodge, you will use your skill to shoot out the bullet.

We were in such a hurry at the moment that it would be nice if we didn't kill anyone, and we didn't care whether we hurt anyone.

Led by Jin Yitiqi who was familiar with the road, Jia Cong reined his horse's head and turned into Chongli Street. Zhengyang Gate was close at hand.

Countless panicked people were running around, and it was obvious that the chaos had just begun.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" All the soldiers and cavalry roared in unison, finally opening a path.

Jia Cong rushed out and saw a mess outside the door, with corpses strewn on the ground and various colored lamps scattered on the ground.

Several groups of heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers were fighting with hundreds of thieves.

Jia Cong glanced around and saw no driver. He was startled and came to kill with anger.

Dozens of cavalry joined in. The group of thuggish bandits who had been holding back and stalling immediately collapsed and hurriedly jumped into the Qinhuai River and headed upstream to the boat.

"Third Master!" The soldiers were overjoyed to see Jia Cong and rushed up to greet him.

"Where are the people?" Jia Cong shouted.

"Qiao Qianhu and General Cai drove to Chaoyang Gate with the car escorted by General Manager Cai." The soldier hurriedly pointed in the direction.

drive! Jia Cong hurriedly chased him along the road.

Looking at the fallen soldiers and Tiqi along the way, Jia Cong's heart was already in his throat, and he prayed silently in his heart, Sister Bao, Zhuer, Qingwen, I'm coming, I'm coming! Don't let anything happen!
-

Take, take, take! The vehicle was caught by the flying claws shot out from the water and was unable to move forward or retreat.

Cai Sen shouted, stood up, and swung his Mo Dao, cutting three or four ropes.

At the same time, more than ten gangsters were pulling ropes and leaping from the water to the bridge.

Qiao Yin's heart froze, was he going to fall at the last level?

As a Tiqi Qianhu, he was also known for his bravery, and he was willing to risk himself at critical moments. He drew his Xiuchundao and fought with the thieves.

However, the thief was very fierce, and a gash was cut on his thigh in an instant.

Cai Sen was very worried. Hearing Qiao Yin groan in pain, he hurriedly shouted: "Qiao Qianhu, hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"

Qiao Yin smiled bitterly in his heart. He was so desperate that he even tried to use suspicion. How could he get reinforcements?

I have to give an account today. I just hope that the Admiral will treat his family well.

Cai Sen looked like a madman, slashed with his Mo Dao, and cut the two thugs into four pieces. He shouted loudly and showed such majesty that the thieves on this side did not dare to come forward.

Suddenly, I heard a scream from behind. It turned out that the thief on the other side had climbed onto the side of the car. He lifted the door curtain and looked at it. He said happily: "Here!" Sister Feng and others screamed in fright.

"The thief shall die!"

Cai Sen was furious. He turned around and swung the knife to chop. Suddenly, his hand tightened. It turned out that a flying claw had tightly wrapped around the handle of the knife, making it impossible for him to swing it.

Immediately afterwards, three or four more flying claws were thrown from under the bridge, hooking Cai Sen's shoulders and calves, trying to pull him into the water.

Cai Sen separated his legs and fought hard, only to feel the iron hooks digging into the flesh of his legs, pulling desperately, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow.

He reacted quickly. He let go of his hand and abandoned the Mo Dao. He pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist with his backhand and slashed up and down, breaking the rope immediately. However, they saw that the thief had already gotten into the carriage and reached out to arrest the person. A small boat with two leaves had quietly sailed towards him in the darkness of the river.

The Jinling moat communicates with waterways such as the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River. As long as people are put on the boat, they can be quickly transferred.

Cai Sen endured the severe pain and rushed to rescue him, but was entangled by several ruthless bandits.

He had lost his Mo Dao, his leg was injured, and he was bleeding. He was no longer as brave as before, and it was difficult to break through the obstacles.

Cai Sen was limping, roaring and drawing out the knife, feeling anxious. Suddenly, he saw the gangster who got into the carriage trembled and slowly fell down.

Just when he didn't know what was going on, he saw a slender figure rolling out from the bottom of the cart, with a long and narrow blade still stained with blood in his hand.

But the edge of the long knife exploded instantly, and as the man's figure moved, countless waves of knives appeared.

ah! ah! Screams continued, the thieves around them all had their limbs broken off, and the unlucky ones were even beheaded.

The man was wearing dark blue clothes. He walked around the carriage and killed seven or eight thieves.

More thieves climbed up from the river and frantically besieged Baochai and others' car.

The man was as nimble as an ape, rolling up and down around the shaft and compartment of the car. The light of his sword was as fast as lightning. His sword skills were unparalleled and unpredictable. Every move was sure to kill him.

A group of fierce bandits lost their troops and generals. They were stunned and couldn't do anything to him. They were so anxious that they cursed.

"Stop him and kidnap people first!" a thief shouted.

Immediately, four or five fierce bandits came to kill him. When he rolled on the ground and used the car's shaft to escape, one of the bandits had already grabbed the car's shaft and reached inside to grab him.

The man hid on this side, and was also being entangled desperately. He was unable to rescue him. Suddenly he raised his left hand, and with a flash of cold light, a hidden weapon penetrated deeply into the carotid artery of the robber in the car. The robber was bleeding like crazy. Squirt, roll down.

"Be careful of An Qingzi!" The gangsters were shocked.

One of the bandits had an idea and stabbed the horse in the buttocks. The horse hissed in pain, pulled the cart and ran away, instantly exposing the man to the crowd.

The bandits cheered, and four or five of them went to stop the carriage, while more than ten people surrounded the man tightly.

"You go and save people! I'll cut off the queen!"

With a roar, Cai Sen, who had killed three bandits with serious injuries, staggered over with blood all over his body, leaning on his Mo Dao.

He mustered up all his strength and swung violently. The gangsters were aware of the situation and did not dare to use it lightly. They hurriedly stepped aside, revealing a gap.

The man was as light as a raccoon cat and flashed past Cai Sen.

Cai Sen was panting like an ox, holding a Mo knife, standing in the middle of the stone bridge, like a statue of god, majestic.

The gangsters knew that he was going to fight with all his strength. Although he was at the end of his strength, the stone bridge was narrow, and if he swung his terrifying long knife, the first one who hit it would probably be cut into two pieces, so they didn't dare to step on it for a while.

"What are you looking at! He only has half a life left, come on!" a bandit roared.

"Come on!" Everyone shouted and rushed forward together, but stopped at the same time a few feet away.

Obviously they don't want to fight this dying person.

"Let's use flying claws?" someone suggested.

"This is a good idea!"

Before he finished speaking, seven or eight flying claws came to wrap around Cai Sen.
-

The man was extremely fast and saw that four or five gangsters had stopped the carriage and were about to arrest them.

With a sudden step on the bulge at the back of the car, the person flew onto the roof of the car.

The light of the sword hung upside down like a waterfall, and instantly chopped off the heads of the two men.

At this time, the curtain of the car had been torn down, and Sister Feng, Baochai and others were hugging each other, with tears in their eyes and frightened. Seeing the "Ranger" suddenly falling from the sky and guarding the shaft of the car, they felt relieved.

Suddenly, the sound of dense horse hooves on the long street sounded like war drums, and dozens of horsemen rushed towards them.

Jia Cong took the lead and pushed his horse to its peak speed. Seeing the fighting raging on the stone bridge ahead, he wished he could fly over.

After a few breaths, he could clearly see more than a dozen thieves on the stone bridge throwing hooks and ropes to tie up a soldier. The iron hooks pierced the armor leaves, penetrated deep into the body, and pulled with all their strength.

The soldier held his sword to the ground and gritted his teeth to resist. Blood flowed down his body and accumulated in a pool at his feet.

"Die!"

Jia Cong roared and charged forward, knocking the gangsters in the middle away with a bang. Thousands of cold lights erupted from the tip of his spear, sweeping left and right, killing all the remaining gangsters in the blink of an eye.

He followed the horse without stopping, watching the carriage in front rush towards him.

Seeing that the situation was over, the two fierce bandits in front dared to fight Jia Cong. One on the left and the other on the right, they plopped into the dark moat and fled.

The small boat that was waiting to pick up people had already rowed away quickly when it saw that something was wrong.

Jia Cong reined up his horse and saw a man squatting on the shaft of the carriage, carrying a long knife on his back. He was completely hidden in dark blue clothes, with only a pair of smart eyes exposed.

Jia Cong's expression turned cold and he pointed his gun.

The man quickly stretched out his legs, did a somersault in the air, and landed firmly on the ground, away from the vehicle.

"Cong'er!"

"Brother Cong!"

"Third Master!"

Everyone in the car cried with joy when they saw Jia Cong appear. (End of chapter)
