The hidden weapon was like a shooting star, arriving at the last moment and hitting the man in black robe just before he saw it. The man in black robe reacted extremely quickly. He turned around and grabbed the drunkard with one hand, using it as a shield to meet the hidden weapon. With a few "Puff-Puff-Puff" sounds, all the hidden weapons were struck into the drunkard's body.
Jiang Yi was shocked, but the hidden weapon he fired was not poisonous, and it was not intended to kill the opponent. Although the drunkard was hit by the hidden weapon, his life was not in danger.
Before Jiang Yi could think about it, the man in black robe carried the drunkard on his shoulders and ran away quickly. Jiang Yi did not hesitate and quickly followed him. After chasing him for two streets, he suddenly realized that the man in black robe had been following him. The black shadow seemed to have disappeared.
Although Jiang Yi knew that his martial arts might not be as good as that of the man in black robe, under such circumstances, his duty lay, and he could not turn a blind eye and let the man in black robe leave.
However, if the officials of the Shenhou Mansion encountered difficulties in the capital and needed support, they would have their own way of asking for help. Jiang Yi always followed the man in black robes to prevent him from escaping his sight, but quickly took out a knife from his arms. A small bamboo tube was used to touch the mechanism. The small bamboo tube flew into the sky and made a shrill scream.
This is the contact signal from the Shenhou Mansion. As long as there are people from the Shenhou Mansion nearby who hear the signal, they will immediately gather in this direction.
Jiang Yi saw the man in black robe reaching the end of the alley and turned to the left. Fearing that he would escape, he mobilized his inner strength to catch up and rushed out of the alley to the street. He looked to the left and saw the man in black robe on the long street. He unexpectedly stopped, and the drunkard who was originally carrying him on his shoulders had been thrown by the black-robed man at his feet. The black-robed man stood tall, with his hands slightly spread out, facing away from Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, but he already discovered that a few steps away from the man in black robe, a person blocked his way. Judging from the figure and appearance of the man, he turned out to be the black figure that had been following the man in black robe. This The black shadow was obviously very skilled and very fast, but he took a detour and blocked the man in black robe.
Jiang Yi took two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "I am from the Shenhou Mansion. Stop moving and declare your home. Who are you? Why did you commit murder in the middle of the night?"
The man in black robe slowly turned around. His body was shrouded in black robe. Through the moonlight, Jiang Yi saw that the man in black robe was actually wearing a bronze mask on his face. The shape was strange, and At the horns of the bronze mask, two bronze horns like ox horns stretched out.
Jiang Yi lost his voice and said: "Bronze General!"
Although the blood-sucking case in the capital has not become known to the whole city, many people in the Shenhou Mansion are aware of the case. Jiang Yi is Qu Xiaocang's number one general, but he has also heard about the blood-sucking case in the capital a long time ago. The murderer wore a bronze mask, and those who knew about it named the murderer the Bronze General.
After the blood-sucking case in the capital first occurred, the Shenhou Mansion did not regard it as a serious case. It only assigned Yan Lingxian to investigate the case, while Ximen Zhanying took the initiative to follow Yan Lingxian in the investigation, but the two did not really After seeing the true face of the Bronze General that night, Qi Ning informed the Shenhou Mansion of the Bronze General's size and characteristics, especially the bronze mask on the murderer's face. Qi Ning made a detailed report to the Shenhou Mansion. illustrate.
Jiang Yi had also heard about this. When he saw the bronze mask, the words "Bronze General" came out of his mouth.
The black shadow on the opposite side slowly walked towards the Bronze General. The Bronze General suddenly laughed strangely and rushed towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi immediately understood what the Bronze General was thinking. The Bronze General obviously saw that the black shadow's martial arts skills were not good enough. Weak, since they were blocked before and after, it was natural to choose the weaker Jiang Yi as a breakthrough.
In a battle, even if the opponent's martial arts is superior to his own, the people of the Shenhou Mansion cannot retreat. This is the iron law of the Shenhou Mansion. Jiang Yi roared, did not retreat but advanced, punched with his right hand, and hit the bronze general. passed.
The Bronze General's martial arts was really not weak. Before Jiang Yi's fist could reach him, the Bronze General ducked sideways and slapped Jiang Yi on the shoulder.
Jiang Yi twisted his shoulders slightly and while dodging, he had already grabbed the hidden weapon with his left hand and hit the Bronze General. Now that he was so close, Jiang Yi was sure that the Bronze General would not be able to dodge.
Although his martial arts is not great, his hidden weapon skills are solid. Moreover, the hidden weapons he carries are divided into categories, including those that do not quench the poison, and those that quench the poison. The poison-quenching hidden weapons are divided into various types, some of which can make people It kills instantly, and also makes the opponent unable to move after being hit by a hidden weapon.
The hidden weapon he fired at this moment can make people paralyzed and unable to move in an instant.
With such a close distance and confidence in his own skills, Jiang Yi thought he would succeed, but unexpectedly, the bronze general seemed to have expected that Jiang Yi would take the opportunity to use the hidden weapon. With a wave of his arm, the black robe on his body floated up. A strong wind suddenly rose and opened all the hidden weapons. Jiang Yi was shocked, but the Bronze General had already taken the opportunity to strike out with a palm, hitting Jiang Yi on the shoulder. Jiang Yi was immediately knocked away.
The Bronze General didn't bother, and ran away. Unexpectedly, after only running a few steps, he heard the sound of "swish, swish, swish", and crossbow arrows were fired from the roofs on the left and right. The bronze general's figure Flashing, the black robe rolled, avoiding the crossbow arrows, but several black shadows appeared in front of them, all holding crossbows in their hands and aiming at the bronze general.
On the roofs on both sides, three or four figures appeared like ghosts, all of them holding crossbows.
Jiang Yi had already stood upright at this time. Fortunately, the Bronze General did not attack harshly and his shoulder bones were not broken, but he still felt a faint pain.
"Don't move again." But a voice came from the opposite side: "These crossbow arrows are all poisonous. Anyone who gets even a little bit of them will be killed immediately. If you just catch them, you might still have a way to survive."
Amid the words, a man slowly walked out from behind the archers blocking the way. He was short and fat, with a slit in his eyes, but it was Qu Xiaocang, the captain of the Tanlang School of Shenhou Mansion.
The Bronze General looked around, as if looking for a way to escape, but he was surrounded on all sides. Unless he could escape to the sky, there was no way to escape.
"You have no way to go." A voice came from behind: "If you are looking for a way to escape, I advise you to give up. The only way you can survive now is to surrender." But it was the one who had been following the Bronze General. What the black shadow said.
Jiang Yi saw that people from the Shenhou Mansion came to support in time, and immediately felt relieved. However, after listening to the black shadow's words, he looked carefully and saw that the black shadow was dressed in night clothes. He had never seen his appearance clearly before. Under the moonlight, I could clearly see the outline of the black shadow, and my heart trembled: "Then... you are the Lord Protector!"
That dark shadow was none other than Qi Ning.
When Qi Ning went to Shenhou Mansion, Jiang Yi had seen him nearby but recognized him.
But he never expected that Qi Ning would be lurking near Han Tianxiao's residence in the middle of the night, and would follow General Bronze all the way.
Could it be that the Protector is waiting for the Bronze General to appear tonight? But how did he know that the Bronze General would appear near Han Tianxiao's residence
Jiang Yi was suspicious, but Qu Xiaocang over there had already smiled and said: "It turns out to be the Duke of the State. Why is the Duke of the State here?"
"Last night General Bronze sneaked into our government's palace to commit murder. If he is not arrested, I will not be able to sleep or eat well." Qining said with a smile: "So I came out tonight to try my luck and see if General Bronze will show up to commit crimes. I don't want my luck." He was so good, but he was hit by me."
Jiang Yi thought that there was something wrong with Qi Ning's words.
Qi Ning was obviously waiting for the man in black robe to appear near Han Tianxiao's residence. It was definitely not luck that he suddenly bumped into him. Moreover, the man in black robe did not commit any murder at that time. How did Qi Ning know that the man in black robe would definitely be a bronze general? Since it was impossible to confirm that the man in black robe was the Bronze General, why did the young prince follow the man in black robe
Jiang Yi was confused, but didn't dare to say anything.
"Don't worry, my lord, since I caught him today, he will naturally be unable to fly." Qu Xiaocang rarely became serious.
"Second Senior Brother is also looking for the whereabouts of the Bronze General tonight?" Qining asked.
Qu Xiaocang said: "Junior sister has told me everything that happened last night. The purpose of Bronze General sucking human blood is to treat injuries. In his haste last night, he failed to get enough blood. I doubt that he will get enough blood today." There is likely to be another operation later in the evening, so we have assigned manpower to search everywhere.”
"I see."
"I just heard the signal sent by Jiang Yi. I happened to be nearby, so we all gathered here." Qu Xiaocang looked at the man in black robe with a cold look on his face and said, "At this point, you probably have nothing to say." He said in a deep voice: "Come here, take him down!"
The officials of the Shenhou Mansion who were on the roof immediately fell from the sky, landed on the long street, and surrounded them on three sides.
The Bronze General looked around, clenched his hands into fists, and seemed to be still resisting. At this moment, Qi Ning suddenly said: "Second Senior Brother, I have two things to ask him, please give me a convenience."
"It doesn't matter." Qu Xiaocang said.
Qi Ning then asked: "What did you want to do when you sneaked into the Duke Protector's Mansion last night? What kind of feud do you and I have?"
The Bronze General snorted coldly and said nothing.
Qi Ning sighed: "It seems that you don't want to tell me. In fact, I have no intention of getting the answer from you right now. But if you don't tell me now, you should know what you will face when you arrive at Shenhou Mansion. The punishment of the Nine Heavens is terrifying, do you want to have a taste of it?"
The bronze general still sneered and turned around with a peaceful expression. Under the moonlight, the bronze horn mask looked extremely strange.
Qining smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I really don't want this result. I always hoped that my judgment was wrong, but what I waited for was the worst result. I know you didn't get enough blood last night. If nothing else happens, there will definitely be some action tonight, but I expected it. These are all your senior brothers, so why should you resist and kill each other with your own brothers? Third senior brother, let’s just capture him without any effort!”
