Chapter 73 Sparks start a prairie fire (3)
"Who are you?" said a constable in a deep voice. "We are subordinates of the governor. Those who know each other quickly leave. We can pretend that the previous incident has not happened."
Fang Jie laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll send you away first, and let your magistrate accompany you later."
The arresters' faces changed. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Fang Jie clambering his fists and rushing over. Xu Ziling next to him also followed him instantly.
The woman standing behind the constables also killed her with her two swords and cooperated with the two to attack the arresting members.
The situation was urgent, and the three arresters had no time to think about it, so they had to bite the bullet and face Xu Ziling and the other two ones one by one.
The arresters have always bullied the weak and bullied the weak with the more. Once they faced the three of them alone, they were immediately at a disadvantage and were beaten to the point of being able to resist.
Before ten moves, Xu Ziling smashed the heart of the constable in front of her with a punch, and the woman next to her slapped the constable who was fighting with her with the back of the knife.
Only Fang Jie is still fighting with the detective. He is not good at fisting and kicking, and fighting the detective with bare hands is only a little better. It is hard to decide the winner without a hundred or ten rounds.
Seeing that his companions had fallen down, the detective turned around and wanted to run. In less than two steps, Xu Ziling punched him on his shoulder and rolled back to Fang Jie. He kicked him off his neck.
Seeing that both of them were merciless, the woman frowned and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
"No matter what," Xu Ziling walked to the detective who was stunned by the woman, reached out and twisted his throat, and turned around and said, "None of us are enemies."
The woman stared at him for a few glances, snorted coldly, and left the alley without saying a word.
Fang Jie walked to the only remaining constable and kicked him in the neck amid his begging for mercy.
After the treatment, Fang Jie picked up a knife and left the alley with Xu Ziling. Shortly after leaving the alley, the two saw Yu Mengqi walking towards the alley.
Seeing Fang Jie turn around and follow him, Xu Ziling hurriedly grabbed him: "Let him report the news. It will be more conducive to our actions when the government office becomes in chaos."
Fang Jie turned around and smiled, "If this is the case, wouldn't that girl be charged with killing the constable for us?"
Xu Ziling said: "When the army conquered Taizhou City in the evening, all kinds of crimes will be jokes."
"That's true." Fang Jie nodded slightly.
Then the two took off their masks and returned to the previous restaurant. They stayed until night before going out. During this period, they saw several vicious constables coming to the restaurant and arrested the waiter.
Before going to the government office, Xu Ziling went to the city wall and drove the Manichae disciples to throw Chi Xiaofei outside the wall. The official army on the city wall saw a black shadow flying by on his head, thinking it was a wild goose flying south, and did not take it seriously.
After having Chixiao, the two easily sneaked into the backyard of the government office.
As soon as they entered the yard and saw the flowers, stones and trees around them, the two of them couldn't help but exclaim. Compared with the residence of Gu An, the governor of Hangzhou, the government office of Taizhou City was not very favorable, which shows that the governor of Taizhou and Gu An were also birds of a feather.
The incident in the afternoon reached the government office. At this time, the entire government office was in chaos. The governor Zhao Zidao sent some escorts out to assist the constable to capture the female thief with high martial arts skills.
Along the way, Xu Ziling and the others did not encounter many patrol guards, so they found the main hall where Zhao Zidao was. The reason why they were sure that Zhao Zidao was inside was because they saw four guards just in front of the lobby.
No wonder the few guards patrolling the mansion were gathered by him.
Hiding behind a big tree and looking at the tightly defended door, Fang Jie asked: "Is it too risky to attack strongly?"
"No, you have to go and attack," Xu Ziling looked sideways at the roof, pulled Chi Xiao out and said, "Wait a moment, you pretend to attack and attract the guards at the door. I will go down from the roof and catch him before helping you."
Fang Jie nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful. The situation inside is unclear. If things cannot be done, you can just withdraw directly and don't fall in love with the battle."
Xu Ziling nodded, said nothing, smiled slightly, and pushed him out with a palm.
Fang Jie cursed inwardly, hurriedly put on the mask, and pulled out the short knife from his waist.
"There is an assassin!" As soon as Fang Jie flashed out from behind the tree, the guard at the door of the lobby shouted loudly and rushed over.
Taking advantage of the gap between the guards running towards Fang Jie, Xu Ziling stepped on Chi Xiao and flew to the roof of the lobby. With his feelings, he found a position close to the beam of the room. He waved his sword in both hands and swept it hard, and the four-stage Juque style swept heavily on the rubble.
After a "boom", the "crash" sound rang out. Xu Ziling felt a weak foot, and fell down with the surrounding tiles.
Before Chi Xiao could fly to his feet, Xu Ziling felt a pain in his butt, as if he hit someone's head, and hurriedly rolled over with force and stood on the ground.
When I looked back, I found that a man in his 1950s was bleeding from his orifices and collapsed on the chair. Seeing the official robe he was wearing, it seemed like Zhao Zidao.
"It's an assassin! Save Lord Zhao!" a man dressed in a scholar beside him shouted.
Xu Ziling looked around and found two guards guarding the house. After hearing the noise, he was running towards him one after another.
However, the place where Xu Ziling fell was very coincidental, just near Zhao Zidao's desk. When he saw the guards flying over, he immediately grabbed Chi Xiao and threw it out. Then he grabbed Zhao Zidao's belt, kicked his feet, and rose up from the ground.
Chi Xiao flew straight towards the man dressed in a scribe who was rushing back, and swept across his throat in shock, then turned around and flew towards Xu Ziling, and before he landed on the ground, he could barely fly to his feet.
The two guards who arrived were shocked when they saw this scene and jumped up quickly, trying to capture Zhao Zidao back.
But Xu Ziling sneered and walked away in the air with Chixiao.
Fang Jie was chased by the guards and ran away in the backyard. Suddenly, he saw Xu Ziling grabbing Zhao Zidao and stepping on the sword. He said happily: "Brother Xu, I'm here!"
"Jump up," Xu Ziling shouted, "I will catch you."
Fang Jie understood it and smashed the knife in his hand towards the chasing guard, then jumped up.
When the guards looked up, they saw Xu Ziling flying over with his sword, grabbed Fang Jie who was jumping up, and then carried a man in one hand and left.
"Brother Xu, you're going in the wrong direction," Fang Jie, who was being held, shouted anxiously, "Our people are all at the North City Gate, why are you going south?"
Xu Ziling gritted his teeth and did not speak, and continued to fly south. After flying over a few more streets, Xu Ziling consumed most of his true energy and did not dare to fly again, so he put the two of them down.
After landing, Xu Ziling gasped and said, "Flying south is to attract the searching officials to the south so that the army can attack the north gate in one fell swoop."
Fang Jie touched his head and chuckled: "I didn't expect this to happen. Brother Xu, you are resourceful."
Throwing Zhao Zidao to Fang Jie, Xu Ziling said, "Stop talking, hurry up and leave. I deliberately flew for so long before, just to let the government army search south for a while. While the government army did not react, we quickly went back to the north gate."
Fang Jie nodded, carried Zhao Zidao on his shoulders, and followed Xu Ziling along the small alley with few people, and turned around the north city gate.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of searching officials. Xu Ziling used his old tricks again and took the two to the high place of the house to hide, and waited for the officials to leave before coming down. In this way, after a long time, the two took Zhao Zidao back to the north gate, called out all the hidden Manichae disciples, and killed them all at the north gate together.
Before he could approach the city gate, he heard the gatekeeper shouting: "Stop! Zhao Zhizhou has an order, and he is not allowed to enter and exit the city at night."
"Hmph," he saw Fang Jie snorting softly, lifting Zhao Zidao up and asking, "You have to take a closer look, who is here?"
The soldier was quite puzzled. He looked around and said frightenedly: "Mr. Zhao! Who are you? How could Mr. Zhao be in your hands?"
Fang Jie said in a deep voice: "Don't bother who we are, you just have to let us out of the city. If we leave the city, we will release Zhao Zidao, otherwise I will kill him now."
The soldier was extremely anxious, afraid that Zhao Zidao would die at the city gate. Seeing that Fang Jie and others were wearing coarse cloth clothes and had no weapons in their hands, they thought they had committed a crime and wanted to escape from the city. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll let you go out, but you have to keep your promise, otherwise after you leave the city, I will order the crossbowmen on the city tower to shoot you and wait."
Fang Jie smiled and said loudly: "That's natural! Killing the imperial officials is a death sentence. As long as we are not desperate, how dare we really kill Lord Zhao."
The soldier nodded without a doubt and asked the soldiers to open the city gate.
The people disguised by the Manichaeans began to slowly leave the city. Fang Jie walked in the middle of the crowd with Zhao Zidao. When he walked past the previous sergeant, he heard him ask in a deep voice: "Can you let Lord Zhao go now?"
"Of course," Fang Jie laughed and threw Zhao Zidao at him suddenly, "Let's go!"
At the same time, the Maniacs who were walking were almost at the same time, hugging or pulling, entangling the gate-guarding official army. Then there were screams, and the crazy Maniacs either put their eyes on or bit their throats, and were slaughtering the entangled official army like wild animals.
When the sergeant who caught Zhao Zidao heard the screams of the officers, he realized what was going on. However, he opened his mouth and before he could scream, he was punched between his chest and abdomen by Xu Ziling, and could no longer speak.
In less than a cup of tea, the city gate was controlled by the Manichaeans. The officials on the city tower heard the sound below and immediately walked down.
At this moment, there were still shouts from afar outside the city, and the words "Long Live the Holy Lord" were faintly heard.
The official army, who had not yet gone downstairs, looked out and was frightened. They saw the vast fire in the distance as a sea of stars, illuminating a large wilderness around them. Countless figures rushed towards the north city gate under the fire. Judging by the rough judging by the fire, there were no less than five or six thousand people coming.
The officials who rushed down the gate tower saw the tragic situation of their companions and the Manichaeans who controlled the city gate, were furious. The lieutenant guarding the gate tower immediately asked the crossbowmen to bend their bows and arrows, ready to shoot them. However, when they were about to order the shooting, they saw a man holding Zhao Zidao at the gate to the army.
"Slow down!" The captain hurriedly stopped him, and then ordered loudly: "The crossbowman immediately returns to the city wall. Once the thieves outside the city approach, they will shoot at will. The infantry under the city will follow me to kill the thieves, rescue Lord Zhao, and regain the city gate."
With Zhao Zidao here, the official army was afraid of weapons and did not dare to shoot arrows. The lieutenant had to lead the infantry toward the city gate.
However, the city gate space is already narrow and cannot accommodate many soldiers. In addition, with masters like Xu Ziling and Fang Jie blocking the front, the official army cannot advance and retreat for a while. The captain and Xu Ziling fought dozens of moves and were knocked away by a punch.
After a while, the shouts of "Long Live the Holy Lord" outside the city were deafening, and the government troops in front of the city gate were still rare to advance.
