Chapter 29: Xiang Zhuang Dances the Sword (Part 2)
The yamen runners took action and did not intend to be polite to the chivalrous, but the commander did not focus on the chivalrous. He began to patrol the surroundings of the prison. More than half an hour has passed since this man appeared, but judging from his current performance, this man is really the only one, and he has no accomplices.
The commander did not intend to continue to tangle with the knights. With so many yamen runners there, he believed that this man could not escape, and he had more important things to do. The commander ran into the yamen, found the signal fireworks that had been prepared, and fired into the sky in the courtyard. This signal was very conspicuous even in the daytime, so conspicuous that Chen Qianji, who was far away in the imperial city, could see it.
Chen Qianji was also kneeling among the officials outside the hall. King Yu and Concubine Du had just entered the hall, and the real struggle had not begun. The loud sound of fireworks made Chen Qianji look back, and the purple fireworks blooming in the sky, and Chen Qianji's face immediately darkened. Purple is a signal of mistakes or even failure in the agreed plan. How could it be possible? He had already planned it properly, so why would they not take the bait?
"Look, a signal is coming from Dali Temple!"
"That's a signal that Dali Temple intends to send troops! They plan to kill our benefactor!"
"No, we have to go and save our benefactor. Otherwise, we will not have these silver coins in the future. Maybe we will be recovered from the stolen money ourselves!"
"Yes, once the benefactor is caught, we can't escape. The court will send troops to encircle us!"
The people who had already picked up almost the same amount had long been red. They wanted to pick up more silver, but the guards of Dali Temple stopped them and beat them. Thinking of the various bullying of Dali Temple yamen runners on weekdays, the refugees started to mobilize them.
The refugees began to rush into the Dali Temple yamen, yelling, "We have always been oppressed, we are also human beings! These lackeys from the court did not regard us as human beings at all. Only the benefactors are our rebirth parents!"
The people who took the lead in making fun captured the psychology of the people very well. In the group, the timid people, who were originally as timid as mice, began to become full of courage. Under the leadership of refugees, more and more people began to break into Dali Temple together. After all, there were not many guards in Dali Temple. Their swords could indeed scare some of the people, but once the number exceeded control, their swords were no longer deterrent.
After the commander fired the signal fireworks, waves of shouts came to his ears. Not long after, the refugees living at the bottom of society rushed in, and they beat them when they saw the commander. In fact, not only the commander, but the yamen runners who were originally placed in the yamen did not escape the fate of being beaten. The people did not have weapons, but they used both hands and feet, and some of them were old even spit at them.
Compared with the fight between the people outside the Dali Temple and the yamen runners, the battle outside the prison has a lot of technical content. On the one hand, the knights have to protect themselves and on the other hand, they also have to protect the corpse on their backs. He does not allow Fat Kui's corpse to be insulted any more. The number of enemies is too large, and the knights are already exhausted. His attacks are lacking in accuracy, and his movements are not as quick as before, so he begins to hang the lottery.
The hero gasped, holding a sword in one hand and holding Fat Kui's body with the other. There were more than five wounds all over his body, and the most serious knife had pierced his shoulder.
No, you must persevere! Your mission has not been completed yet, so you must not give up! The hero crossed the body of Fat Kui and whispered: "Fat Kui, I'm sorry, let's fight side by side next!"
The knight began to attack a corner, and a sneak attacker appeared behind him. The knight threw out Fat Kui's body and knocked down the three yamen runners. The knight rolled up and saved Fat Kui again, while swinging his blade to cut off the three of them. The knight held Fat Kui back on his body again. Because of his lack of strength, he paused for a moment, and immediately someone came up to make a new hole in his ankle. Of course, the knight attached importance to the exchange of courtesy, and often gave back more abundantly. He directly removed one of the other party's arm.
Another person who wanted to attack sneaked up came from the side. The hero pressed down on Fat Kui and leaped up his body to kick the sneak attacker away. However, another yamen runner found a new breakthrough. Instead of directly dealing with the hero, he opened a hole in Fat Kui's body. Fat Kui has passed away, and no blood was flowing out of the wound after his death, but his skin and flesh turned outward, making the wound extremely ugly.
The hero was furious. He picked up the sword and threw it out, and he took the man out happily. Because there was no weapon, the remaining yamen runners were even more courageous and rushed up to slash at the hero. The hero could avoid this sword but could not avoid another sword. The feeling of the blade passing by the body was not known to the hero himself. Now he was a little numb, but his subordinates were not numb, and his method of twisting the yamen runners was still neat and neat.
The battle continued until now, and only half of the yamen runners who had previously surrounded the knights were left, but the knight himself paid a lot of money. Blood quickly formed a pool of blood under his feet. The knight's feet were already a little unstable, and his hands were almost unable to hold Fat Kui.
"He can't do it anymore, hurry up!"
A yamen runner shouted, and just one sentence brought him a life-threatening disaster. The hero abandoned Fat Kui and threw down the yamen runner like a hungry wolf. He killed him with one palm and took him off. A yamen runner next to the hero swung his sword and scratched the face of the hero. The black veil that had been covered on his face was directly cut open, and at the same time, it also caused a shallow wound on the hero's face.
As soon as the black veil fell, the true face of the knight was revealed to everyone. The yamen runners did not know the true face of the knight. If there were people from Qingshan Academy present, they would know that the knight was Ye Kai from Qingshan Academy and one of the six under Bai Shi's men.
Ye Kai wiped away the blood on his face, making his originally not handsome face look even more weird. He grinned. When his smile just bloomed on his face, Ye Kai had already lying on a yamen runner. It was the yamen runner who cut Ye Kai's face open. Ye Kai would not be polite at all. What's wrong with no weapons? He opened his mouth and bit the yamen runner's throat directly, until blood squirted out and sprayed Ye Kai's face into blood red.
It was really terrifying. The remaining yamen runners were scared by this murderer without blinking and retreated one after another, not daring to fight Ye Kai directly.
Just at this moment, the commander ran into the innermost part of Dali Temple, which was the location of the prison. The commander was able to escape by chance because of the sacrifices of the yamen runners outside. His clothes were broken, his hair was messy, and even his weapons were gone. The commander stumbled and shouted at the last yamen runners, "Hurry up! Come and stop the refugees outside!"
Ye Kai knew that his opportunity had come, so he quickly grabbed the sword of a yamen runner closest to him and rushed to the commander's side, putting the blade on the commander's neck. After a series of actions were completed, the refugees and the people rushed to the yard of the prison and met Ye Kai directly.
"Everyone, I am the one who robs the rich and helps the poor! I have searched the silver and jewelry you have obtained from the homes of corrupt officials of major courts. Now I have exposed my identity and will never be able to help you in the future. I thank you for yours today. You can retreat quickly!"
The people did not move, and they still looked at the hero in front of them, the hero who gave them the most silver coins in this life. Ye Kai stopped talking nonsense. He knew that time was getting less and less. He moved his hand, and the blade cut off the commander's neck, and blood blew out again. Ye Kai stood behind the commander.
Everyone present saw this scene. This scene was like a hell ghost coming to the world to take his life. The people had never seen such a scene. Some vomited directly, while others were so scared that they closed their eyes. More people began to turn their heads and run out of Dali Temple.
Ye Kai achieved his goal. He carried Fat Kui's body again and walked towards a wall north of Dali Temple with great swagger. No yamen runner dared to come forward to stop him. Ye Kai used his last bit of strength to fly up and climbed up the eaves. The yamen runners did not see that when he jumped off the eaves, he could no longer get up after a while.
