Tie Zheng understood Qin Ning's true intention and his expression changed drastically.
Qining invited Tie Zheng to the Hongyun Tea House in the middle of the night with an invitation from Yuan Laoshangshu, but it was precisely this way that he lured the group of masters who were ambushing near Kyoto Prefecture to this place, thus leaving a void in Kyoto Prefecture. Under such a situation , sent people to sneak into Kyoto Prefecture and rescue the people inside.
Mr. Yuan Lao Shangshu never invites anyone to a banquet outside. Even if he really wants to invite someone to a meal, wouldn't it be more convenient to invite them directly to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites? Even if you really want to treat a guest, you won't be so shabby as to go to a teahouse, and the time is chosen at Hai hour, which is already midnight.
This invitation was so weird that even Tie Zheng felt it was very strange when he received the invitation. If Xiao Shaozong and his group knew about it, they would certainly suspect that there was something mysterious about this banquet.
Qi Ning naturally took advantage of this and let the strange invitation play the role of luring the enemy. It was a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
In order to rescue Gu Qinghan and others, Qi Ning obviously made careful arrangements, using Yuan Laoshangshu and Tiezheng as bridges, and finally succeeded in attracting all the people who were ambushing near Kyoto Prefecture.
Tie Zheng understood the truth and sighed: "In order to save your family, you put yourself in danger. It's true that you value friendship, but...!" He didn't say anything else.
Qi Ning said: "Xiao Shaozong must have guessed that the real instigator behind that invitation was me, so he will definitely mobilize a large number of people to come here. No matter what, he will let me be buried here." He picked up the teacup, From the corner of his eye, he glanced out of the window. On the roof across the long street, a figure flashed. The enemy had obviously surrounded Hongyun Teahouse.
Under the night, there are no one knows how many enemies are hiding in it.
But Qining's expression was still calm at this time, and there was even a smile on his lips, which made Tie Zheng admire the young man's courage from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Tie came to the banquet tonight and helped me a lot." Qi Ning said: "If I can survive tonight, I can always repay you in the future, but Master Tie had better leave as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely be implicated. He picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I'll thank Master Tie with this cup of tea." He actually drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
If Tie Zheng had not kept the appointment, of course these enemies would not have followed.
At this moment, there was a snapping sound on the roof, as if someone was stepping on the tiles on the roof. Tie Zheng took a deep breath, knowing that Qi Ning was indeed not alarmist, and the enemies on the roof obviously no longer cared about Qi Ning. Whether Ning was aware of it and could make a sound could only mean that this group of people was full of confidence. They were sure that Qi Ning would be dead here tonight.
"My lord, please!"
Qi Ning raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling Tie Zheng to leave immediately.
Tie Zheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and frowned: "Do you really have no intention of treason and self-reliance?"
Qi Ning sighed and said: "The troops who attacked the northwest were almost all soldiers from Xichuan. Their hometown is in Xichuan, not in the northwest. What do I rely on to stand on my own in the northwest? Without three or five years, the hearts of the northwest If you don’t accept it, will the Xichuan soldiers abandon their families and support me to become independent in the northwest?”
Tie Zheng was stunned, Qining's words hit the nail on the head.
If Qi Ning wants to gain a foothold in the northwest, he must have military power. However, after he has just conquered the northwest, and before he has completely conquered the people of the northwest, Qi Ning certainly does not dare to rely on the soldiers in the northwest. All he can rely on is the Xichuan soldiers who followed him into the northwest. .
The families of the Xichuan soldiers are all in Xichuan. If they follow Qining to establish themselves in the northwest, even if there is a rebellion, the family members who stayed in Xichuan will definitely be implicated. Of course, this is what the Xichuan soldiers do not want to see.
Therefore, Qining's statement that he wants to command the Xichuan soldiers to establish themselves in the northwest is of course extremely ridiculous.
Tie Zheng hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He walked towards the stairs. When he reached the stairs, he stopped and seemed to want to look back, but in the end he didn't look back and went straight downstairs.
Qining only waited until Tie Zheng left, then slowly took out a pair of black gloves from his arms. The gloves were obviously not made of cotton or silk, but an extremely special material, thin and soft. He carefully Putting on his thin black gloves, he took out the iron-cut cold blade and played with it, but his smiling face had become murderous, as if he had turned into another person, staring at Zhu Hanren murmured: "You are really going to drink blood tonight!"
There was deathly silence all around.
Qi Ning suddenly stood up. Almost at the same time, a "swish, swish, swish" sound sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows shot out of the window. When Qi Ning stood up, his right hand had already grasped the corner of the table, and he suddenly lifted it. The teapot and teacups on the table fell to the ground, and the entire table turned into a shield. There were endless sounds of "doo, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh" and all the sharp arrows were set on the table.
"Wow!"
There was a cracking sound from the roof, and rubble fell from the sky. Several figures were mixed in the rubble, falling in the air, and the swords were cold and slashed straight at Qining.
Qin Ning's eyes turned cold, and all the muscles in his body tensed up at this moment, and his veins bulged, and he exuded an infinite sense of strength. He did not dodge, but kicked his feet, and his whole body flew up like a crane. soaring!
A miserable howl that stopped suddenly!
Qi Ning was in the air, intersecting with the assassins who descended from the sky. The cold blade passed by and cut one person's throat. The other hand turned into a fist and hit the other person's throat hard, and the back bone shattered. The sound was clearly audible, and the man was like a kite, blown away by the punch, flew out of the window, and landed on the long street.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
There were continuous cracking sounds from the roof, and holes appeared in the roof one after another. As the holes appeared, figures one after another fell from the sky and landed on the floor of the second floor. In just a moment, more than ten people had fallen down, and no one Without the slightest hesitation, the man zeroed in on Qining's target and pounced on him like a wolf and a tiger.
Qi Ning also showed no mercy. The cold blade in his hand was integrated with him, as if it had become one of his hands. When he swung it, he could strike directly at the enemy's vital points.
Dozens of figures have agile movements and ruthless attacks, but Qining is obviously more agile than them, and his attacks are more ruthless. If the cold blade reaches the enemy's chest, it will definitely pierce the opponent's heart and reach the opponent's throat. , it will definitely cut the throat, and if it reaches the opponent's abdomen, it will inevitably sink into the opponent's lower abdomen. The figure keeps flying out, and the screams are also continuous.
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Another large group of people rushed over from the stairs.
Qi Ning knew that since Xiao Shaozong was determined to take his own life, there must be a huge number of people ambushing around Hongyun Tea House tonight. The other party would never be stingy with their lives. Their action goal tonight was only one, and that was to kill him at any cost. No matter the cost, take off your own head.
If you want to survive, you must let the other person die!
Several big knives were slashing at Qining from three directions at the same time. Qining did not fight hard this time. With a little step, he was already floating to the edge of the window. When he approached the window, several sharp arrows shot out from the window. Directly from the opposite roof.
The sharp arrows are fast and urgent, and the wind is howling.
The archer was naturally well-trained. Qining held the cold blade in his right hand. When he saw the sharp arrow coming towards him, he had already raised his left palm and swatted it out. The strong wind whipped his body, and the sharp arrow that was originally shot in the face was incompatible with the sharp arrow. The palms collided with each other, and the direction suddenly changed. At this moment, Qining, who looked like a swallow, had jumped out of the window and landed lightly on the long street.
"kill!"
There were shouts of killing from both ends of the long street. Qi Ning was in the middle of the long street and saw countless figures rushing towards him from both sides. A sneer flashed across the corner of Qi Ning's mouth, his expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He headed straight towards the people rushing towards him. The crowd stepped forward to greet him.
The crowd surged over and enveloped Qi Ning in an instant, but this group of people seemed to have encountered an indestructible stone. Water splashed everywhere, and there were sounds of popping and popping. It was the sound of sharp blades penetrating flesh. The one closest to Qining The three of them had fallen down like four pieces of wood with rotten roots. They were holding their throats, and the blood in their hands was pouring out. One hand was not enough to stop the blood spurting out, and it was pouring out from between the fingers. Cum out.
Of course, the deaths of a few people could not deter this group of people. The crowd still wrapped Qining in the middle, like a tide on the sea, attacking Qining one after another.
At this time, Qi Ning was like a ghost, or like a loach. Among the crowded crowd, he could always find the most suitable gap to swim. The cold blade in his hand no longer pursued attacking the enemy's vital points, and even Without even looking at the opponent's body position, he held the cold blade with his right arm and moved it around casually.
The cold blade is so sharp that it is no exaggeration to say that it can cut iron like mud. Wherever it goes, it will tear the clothes and skin of any opponent. Like lightning, without the slightest hesitation, in just a moment, dozens of people had their wounds opened by the cold blade.
A deep cut was made on a person's wrist, and blood was flowing out. The person immediately cut off a piece of cloth from his clothes and prepared to wrap the wound to prevent further bleeding. When he was about to bandage it, he suddenly discovered that the wound had just opened in an instant. It started to turn black, and the person's face changed color. Before he thought about it, he felt short of breath, and soon he couldn't even take a breath. At this time, he heard a "bang" next to him, and a companion fell at his feet. At the same time, the companion's whole body was twitching, and foam was pouring out of his mouth. This man also felt dizzy, and he took a step forward. His head was heavy, and he fell to the ground, and then he started convulsing violently.
"poisonous!"
Someone nearby screamed: "Everyone, be careful, he... the knife in his hand is poisonous!"
Qining's cold blade is indeed poisonous.
In order to rescue Gu Qinghan and others, he set up a strategy to lure this group of people here. Naturally, he himself was in trouble. The current situation was all within his expectation, and he was certainly well prepared in advance.
The cold blade is soaked in poison, and it is a poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood. It is for this reason that he put on gloves made of special materials. This was to prevent his hands from being accidentally cut by the cold blade. At this moment He does not need to attack the enemy's vital points. The cold blade only needs to open a small wound on the enemy's body, and the blood will be poisoned, and the poisoned person will die instantly.
Facing a large crowd of enemies, this is of course the most effective way to kill them.
Qi Ning certainly knows that this method is very cruel, but tonight's battle has nothing to do with mercy. It is a life-and-death confrontation. Qi Ning has never thought about letting any enemy who attacks him survive tonight. .
More than a dozen enemies scratched by the cold blade fell to the ground one after another, twitching, and then died.
The crowd paused for a moment, but it was only for a moment. More people still shouted and charged towards Qining.
On the roof, several figures looked down at Qi Ning, who was fighting hard in the crowd. The first person was wearing a gray robe, with a dark mask on his face, and his hands behind his back. The eyes under the mask were cold and sharp. Behind him, a figure on the left There is one person standing on each right side. The person on the left is very short and thin, but he wears a snow-white mask on his face. The mask is like a twelve or thirteen-year-old doll. The baby's face seems to be smiling but not smiling, making it look eerie and terrifying. , and the man on the right has a slender figure, dressed in black clothes, with a black scarf covering his face, but his eyes are staring at Qi Ning, his eyes full of resentment that goes deep into his bones.
