The whole city is under curfew, and even the brothel Chu Pavilion, which usually welcomes guests all night, stopped today.
There was hardly anyone walking on the whole street, except for a few wild cats and dogs that occasionally ran past, only the heavily armed city guards carried lanterns and collected lanterns all over the city.
What are they searching for, who are they looking for
Outside countless doors and windows, countless pairs of eyes stared at these city guards, and the owners of these eyes all had the same problem in their minds.
- Black City, what happened
"Heicheng has joined forces with the people of the Western Qiang, and now the whole city is under martial law, we are like trapped beasts."
Qin Shan sat in the room and lit an oil lamp, which brightly blew the faces of everyone in the room.
On these faces, there are expectations, tension, and solemnity, but at this time they all look at Qin Shan, waiting for his order before they have to act.
Qin Shan's eyes circled around the room, and finally stopped on a face - Yan Mobei, as the only person present who could still laugh, Qin Shan had to pay attention to him.
"Xiao Bei." Qin Shan asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yan Xiaobei smiled and said, "Brother Shan wants them to find someone from Emperor Qi?"
"of course not."
"Then, it's better if we find someone before them." Yan Xiaobei said, "What happened, you can find out when you ask."
This is indeed a good idea.
Qin Shan and Wei Shishi glanced at each other, and Shi Shi was in a good mood and stepped back to make arrangements. And in order to prevent their stronghold from being exposed, Qin Shan had to cover up a bit. And just when everyone was busy, Pu Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and before he was happy, someone stopped him in front of him.
"Oh wait, I forgot one more thing."
Pu Cunxi secretly said that it was bad, but he was pulled and could not get rid of it.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Yan Xiaobei's face with an itchy smile, only to hear him slowly say: "Brother Shan didn't ask you about today's daytime affairs, but I didn't ask you. Pu Cunxi, Old man Pu, what are you doing with my senior sister secretly meeting each other?"
Pu Cunxi, who was caught, thought with grief and indignation, sometimes I really don't know if this Yan Mobei who lost his memory is true or false! Whose kid had such scheming and courage when he was in his teens
Qin Shan still called him Xiaobei Xiaobei, and he really looked after people like children.
Commander Qin!
blindness.
Just when Pu Cunxi was stopped by Yan Mobei for questioning, Qin Shan had already left the courtyard and wanted to find someone before the guards in the city. Qin Weitang was still a little short of staff, so he had to go out in person.
Under the moonlight, I saw a man in black jumped on the eaves and shuttled back and forth between the buildings. Qin Shan has been away from Wuminggu for more than three months. During this period, not to mention his external strength, his internal strength has long since recovered. Coupled with the tempering of his state of mind for many years, Qin Shan's martial arts, even if his master, the mad swordsman, is still alive, may not be an opponent. However, despite this, he still did not dare to be careless.
Because Qin Shan knew that he was not facing ordinary people, not Jianghu people, but a terrible killing machine - the army.
The Western Qiang soldiers are strong and strong, and the king of the Western Qiang is a generation of heroes. The generals under his seat are also wise and brave, and they can be outstanding people. In the face of such an army, no matter how powerful an individual's force is, it is still a drop in the ocean.
However, such a military force is not available in the gradually weakened Daqi.
Daqi's martial arts are indeed strong and prosperous, and there are many masters. There is a crazy swordsman Xiao Yiran in the front, and Liu Han, Wan Chengxuan, and You Xiaoyi in the back. But there are no heroes born, it seems that all talented people are in the wild and not in the dynasty.
In order to solve this situation, when he first ascended the throne, Emperor Qi once issued a decree of heroes, ordering that if the heroes of the world returned to the court, they would be hired with a lot of money and gifts, but there were very few people who responded, and it even became a joke.
The arrogant heroes disdain to be a court dog, because in their eyes, Qin Weitang is just a guard dog on a leash. Of course, the heroes have never understood spring farming and mulberry farming, so in their eyes, ordinary people are just mediocre beings.
Wu does not report to the country, and literature does not follow construction.
Such heroes, when the Daqi border was in jeopardy, were still fighting for their own interests, like a vicious dog rushing for food. So facing this group of people, Qin Shan three years ago would think that killing is killing, no pity.
Even now, this idea has not changed much.
The martial arts of Daqi are the worms of Daqi.
When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Shan had already mentioned Qinggong and circled most of the black city. During this period, he saw many guards kicking open the door and breaking into the houses to search, but still found nothing.
There seemed to be no trace of the person they were looking for, but Qin Shan found a clue in the darkness.
He stopped on a bell tower, watched quietly for a while, and then swept away to the south of the city.
The south of the city is the residence of the big and small bureaucrats in the black city, and it is also the seat of the city lord's mansion. Probably no one thought that the person being hunted would have the courage to hide here. However, not everyone thinks so.
The city lord's mansion was still brightly lit, and the guards who went back and forth reported news from time to time, but no one was ever caught.
Under the candlelight, a man stood with a knife and stood under the eaves. He has a pair of sharp long eyebrows, the eyes under the eyebrows are like stars, aggressive, and the more eye-catching red hair spreads on the man's cloak, like flames burning the night.
This person is the city lord of Black City, He Liancheng. He has the blood of the nomads in the highlands of the ice field in his body, but the blood flowing in his chest is more intense than fire.
"Can't find it?"
He Liancheng sneered, "So, call everyone in the south of the city, and line up in front of the door to check. If you resist, shoot them."
It seems that the Lord of the City also thought of the blind spot and began to prescribe the right medicine.
"City Lord Helian is so inspiring, I can't get over it."
Next to him is a bearded man in the fur of a snow wolf. His muscles are knotted, and he is estimated to be as thick as the waist of an ordinary woman. Nothing. This person is Xian Duo, the left general of the Western Qiang Army, who is as famous as the right general Muli.
Searching the city tonight, Xian Duo was also in the city, which showed that the situation was unusual.
He Liancheng glanced at Xian Duo and said, "This is basic sincerity, can the general see it?"
Xian Duo let out a low, mountain-like laughter, but did not agree. He Liancheng knew that these Xiqiang people were not easy to deal with, and he didn't mind it. He thought that the order would be followed, and it would soon bear fruit. When the time comes to catch someone or not, let these Xiqiang gangsters worry about it.
"City Lord! Someone in the Counselor's House broke through and fled, and Counselor Yu was held hostage!"
coming!
He Liancheng: "Chase!"
Xian Duo over there also ordered: "How can the city owner be busy alone?" Then he also sent his men to go out to hunt him down.
At this time, Qin Shan was near the counselor's mansion, and saw with his own eyes a group of people kidnapped the counselor and broke through to the outside of the city. In order to escape Cheng, it was not enough to just hide in the government. He also had to act immediately before Helian Cheng didn't notice.
As for He Liancheng, he obviously had the idea of stunning the snakes. The levels leading to the city gate were guarded layer by layer, and it was not easy for these people to escape.
Qin Shan was watching secretly, and by the way, he contacted Qin Weitang's subordinates, thinking about whether to take action. At this moment, among the pursued crowd, a person was knocked off his hat, revealing a bare skull.
—Monk? !
Looking at it again, it's incredible. There are many familiar faces in this group of fugitives. Isn't it the Shaolin disciple who attended Xiao Yi's Qunying Party that day
After the elite meeting, they have not heard from them, and they actually ran to this black city thousands of miles away
And one of the most impressive is one of the eighteen arhats in the Shaolin Temple, obviously. Shaolin Abbot's brother-in-law, the anger-free uncle-in-law.
Strange things happen, there must be internal reasons. No matter what trick these monks used, Qin Shan was saved even if he didn't.
Only heard a flute, resounding through the sky.
Swishing dozens of men in black appeared from all over the place to ambush the city guards. Their moves were similar, and they cooperated tacitly. Compared with ordinary Jianghu people, they had natural discipline, and compared with the city guards, they had an inexplicable superiority. martial arts.
As soon as these men in black appeared, they immediately solved the crisis of the monks. At present, a person said clearly: "This way."
Knowing that the monk didn't even ask, he took a group of disciples and grandchildren and left. It seemed that from the beginning to the end, he knew who these men in black were.
On the other hand, the news also came back to He Liancheng's ears. When he heard that the fugitives had revealed their identities, it turned out to be a group of monks, he frowned in confusion. And when he heard the rescue of an unidentified man in black, he quickly rescued the monk from his hands. He Liancheng's eyes lit up, and his red hair seemed to be hotter.
"Do these people have masks?"
"Never."
"Can you shout slogans?"
"No, but the actions are uniform, not like ordinary Jianghu people."
He Liancheng smiled, wanton and indulgent, and even Xian Duo, who was beside him, couldn't help but glance at him.
"Okay, okay, I've been looking for you for ten years, and you came to your door at this time!"
Xian Duo said, "I don't know who the city lord is talking about?"
"Who is it?" He Liancheng glanced at him, "A big fish can be caught by accident. Qin Weitang, Qin Shan. General Xian, is this name familiar?"
Xian Duo's heart beat faster, Qin Shan! Now the people who are looking for in the Western Qiang of Daqi and the North and South Wulin have come to the door
"This is a great opportunity bestowed by God!" Xian Duo excitedly said, "If this person can be caught and sent back as a birthday gift, the king will definitely be very happy."
He Liancheng glanced at him lightly, and replied casually, but did not speak.
For natural nomads, their favorite prey must be hunted by themselves.
And Qin Shan was the prey he had coveted for a long time.
