Chapter 203 Spring Rain of Apricot Blossoms
The Alliance for Restoring the Country and Eliminating the Tyrants was a rebellious force organized by the generals of the Chaohua Army. All the personnel were masters in the army and the smallest of the eighteenth Route Rebel Army. The key tasks were to assassinate Qingchuan and surrender to Qingchuan, and were mainly active in Dazhongcheng County.
The "Shadows" secret organization is different from it. It has existed for a longer time and is not within the smoke of the Eighteenth Route. It was initiated by several senior officials from the former Chaohua Dynasty.
These officials were dissatisfied with the arrogance and extravagance of the Chaohua court at that time and ignored the potential threat of Qingchuan. Therefore, they absorbed personnel from the central and local governments. The main purpose was to secretly investigate and assassinate the secret son who was placed in Chaohua in Qingchuan, collect evidence of Qingchuan's intention to invade Chaohua, and eliminate the collusion and close ministers in the court and close to Qingchuan.
The members of "Shadows" have an openly covered identity. They are not many, but they are all capable and well-organized, and are rarely known.
After Wei Zhanmei was absorbed, she became one of the "Thirteen Taishang Insurance" trained as a reserve force.
After Chaohua fell, some members of the "shadows" like Wei Zhanmei were still arranged to do things in the small puppet court, while others turned to various rebel troops to engage in the restoration operation.
Later, Qingchuan encircled and suppressed the rebel army in a large scale, and the alliance to restore the country and eliminate the traitors suffered a considerable loss. After secret contact, given the same purpose of restoring the country and the same opponents, the shadows agreed to incorporate the alliance to restore the country and eliminate the traitors. However, the two sides still belonged to each other, worked closely together on major matters, and did not interfere with each other in normal times.
Because of this, in order to minimize conflicts between the underground secret operations personnel of the two sides, Wei Zhanmei was informed of some information about the important members of the Restoration League so that they could identify, contact, protect and cooperate with each other if necessary.
Therefore, Wei Zhanmei could guess that Zhuang Ji was probably still in this area.
After knowing that it was Zhuang Ji who was being chased, Wei Zhanmei's idea was to help him escape as much as possible. He originally planned to recognize him with a secret code if he could meet him and help him escape from the city. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hulei made a fuss, and it would be difficult to deal with it now.
Zhang Hulei is experienced and has higher skills than him. It is difficult for him to succeed in killing him with one blow, and it is likely to expose himself. The task given to him by "Shadows" is to protect himself and lurk with all his strength as the first priority, and other cameras act.
Should I take the risk to save me or stay out of trouble?
While Wei Zhanmei was in a dilemma, Zhang Hulei opened his eyes and whispered: "There is movement, be ready."
Wei Zhanmei looked forward in the dusk and dusk. Sure enough, not far ahead, a figure emerged from the stacked corner of the house. After a long time of silence, he began to move slowly.
The man was very careful, stopped and walked, and was very good at hiding his body with the help of the terrain. If it weren't for their excellent position, Wei Zhanmei would not be able to keep up with his whereabouts even if he had enough eyesight.
The black shadow was about to move to the place closest to them in a straight line, and was almost at the edge of this area. The figure suddenly accelerated and rushed to another residential area, intending to enter the dense streets and alleys. Zhang Hulei said, "Let's go! I'm on top, you're down, join forces to catch it."
After saying that, he flew up and chased after him through the room.
Wei Zhanmei responded, jumped off the roof, and ran out from the ground along the alleyway.
The man immediately realized that he quickly escaped on the roof.
The three of them chased each other, and the man changed his direction from time to time to escape. Wei Zhanmei leaned against Zhang Hulei's voice and was barely thrown off.
The man should be Zhuang Ji. An injury on his shoulder affected his speed. In addition, those who chased him in the back always took advantage of him. He was soon caught up by Zhang Hulei. The sound of weapons hitting him from the roof above him came from the roof. The man resisted stubbornly, fighting and fleeing.
Wei Zhanmei was hesitant, but his pace slowed down again. After turning a corner, he saw two people seven or eight feet away.
Zhuang Ji's situation is not good at this moment, and he is exhausted by his shoulder injury. His short blade was smashed by Zhang Hulei's heavy thick back slashing mountain knife. The man was flying down from the roof, in mid-air, with the empty door behind him exposed, and Zhang Hulei's big sword had already been slashed from behind, and he would definitely be seriously injured by this knife.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zhanmei didn't have time to think about it anymore. He teased his brain, handing his right knife with his left hand, and bounced his five fingers with his right hand.
The spring rain of apricot blossoms kill the deadly nail!
The three spring rain spikes were thrown out by him using one of the nine methods of launching.
The three long nails made a sharp roar, and the casting was strong, and they went straight to Zhuang Ji's chest and abdomen in the air in the shape of a pin-shaped character.
Zhuang Ji was attacked from both sides. At the critical moment, he groaned and forced his way in the air. He reached out and bent his fingers, and bounced on three long nails one after another, which forced the long nails to change direction.
Three long nails suddenly hit Zhang Hulei who was slashing with a knife behind him!
Things started out suddenly, and Zhang Hulei was sure to win, but he didn't want Zhuang Ji, who had nowhere to take advantage of his bare hands and nowhere to take advantage of his power, could even survive in a dangerous situation and use Wei Zhanmei's long spike to launch a counterattack.
In desperation, Zhang Hulei raised his sword in his hand, and knocked down the nails with three sounds. Zhuang Ji landed on the ground and fled to the other side.
Zhang Hulei also jumped down, and Wei Zhanmei, who had caught up with him, was about to chase him again.
Suddenly, a sound of Ji Kuo twitching came, and the sound of breaking through the air was loud, and more than a dozen sharp arrows shot from the darkness.
No, the other party has helpers. This is the Zhuge Shenhou crossbow that is only available in the army!
The arrow was swift and Wei Zhanmei rushed high and low to dodge. Even Zhang Hulei had to stop using a knife to block the arrow.
When the two of them blocked the three-round long-range raid, they chased after them, and there was no trace of the other party.
Zhang Hulei stomped his feet, pulled the sword with a sword, cursed hatefully, and turned his head. He did not doubt Wei Zhanmei, but said, "You kid is still frigid. When I hurt him, I will shoot a few nails. We will have already caught the living."
Wei Zhanmei lowered his head and lowered his hands, making a frustrated look and did not dare to answer.
He knew in his heart that the three nails were emitted by him with special techniques, which seemed fierce, but in fact the accompanying force was very weak, and Zhuang Ji reacted quickly, which forced the nails to turn. If it was shot out with heavy techniques, Zhuang Ji could not easily take it with his haste in the air.
He breathed a sigh of relief and heard Zhang Hulei say, "You should go back to the peace department to report to the Grand Pavilion and mobilize troops to come. I will summon the nearby embroidered guards to surround the place for searching."
Wei Zhanmei agreed and left.
When I returned to the Nanzhen Fushi Office, the lights were brightly lit, and the embroidered guards were coming and going, and the atmosphere was tense.
Hu Shiwei was sitting upright at the table and giving orders. Tong Xiang stood beside him in a dejected manner, apparently because he had lost the pursuit of the person.
After listening to Wei Zhanmei's report, Hu Shiwei ordered Tong Xiang to take people to cooperate with Zhang Hulei, and then said to the surroundings: "Send the order that all the embroidered guards cancel all vacations, all come to the yamen to report and standby, dig three feet into the ground, and find Zhuang Ji's people."
"The situation is urgent now, and the special envoy and his party are in the city, and Huang Chonghu's incident has happened. Fortunately, in the previous round of searches, although the first culprit Zhuang Ji was on the run, he also caught a lot of people lurking in the city with the 18th route of beacons.
"The prefect strictly ordered the case to be solved within a time limit, and asked the garrisons in the city to assist the Xiuyiwei to surround the city. Everyone cheered up and arrested them without letting them go. The remaining parties in the rebel city will inevitably counterattack. Any suspects or those who resisted will be taken down. I will take the opportunity to carry out a major purge."
Everyone agreed.
At night, Wei Zhanmei walked alone on the way home. Hu Shiwei made a great arrangement, but he did not forget to make money. He privately gave Wei Zhanmei a token so that he could go out of the city at any time to find the treasures offered by Bai Xiaosheng.
At this time, the city was under curfew, and there were no pedestrians on the street except for the inspectors and soldiers. Wei Zhanmei walked while thinking about when it would be appropriate to leave the city.
Zhuang Ji had no choice but to help him. Did Tong Xiang only become suspicious of himself, or did he come down from Yingdu to shoulder the mission of supervising all the officials of the Nanzhen Fushi and test himself?
It seems that it’s better to leave the city early tomorrow morning and hide for a while before talking about it.
Moreover, you are not very good in this world, so it is better to spend some time to improve as soon as possible while you go out.
Thinking about it all the way, I walked to the entrance of the alley deep in the Baihua. The feeling of being targeted by someone during the day suddenly popped up again!
Who is watching and thinking about himself?
Wei Zhanmei decided to lead the snake out of the cave to find out the truth. He pretended to be unaware and walked into the alley slowly.
The flowers are truly worthy of their reputation. Every household in the alleys planted various flowers and trees outside the windows. They competed for beauty during the day, but at night they seemed to sway everywhere.
The weather turned cloudy tonight, and the clouds blocked the moonlight from time to time. The road flickered and the light and shadows were mottled.
The alley was also empty and there was no one, so Wei Zhanmei raised his vigilance and walked in.
Before he could reach his door, in a gloomy corner, Wei Zhanmei heard the tiles slanted above him sounded lightly. When he looked up, the wind sounded behind him, and something broke through the air.
The other party took action.
I turned my head and swept it with my eyes. From the roof, I hit a chain hammer from top to bottom. The dark hammer head was not big, only the size of a cantaloupe. The sound of breaking through the air was not very strong, but the aversion caused by the aggravation was already aroused, causing a headache in the back of my head.
The person who came has such a big hand strength!
At the same time, he also noticed a hidden weapon coming silently on the opposite side.
Wei Zhanmei squatted down, let the chain hammer first, and then exerted force under his feet. A small group flipped forward, avoiding the hidden weapon aimed at his lower plate. Before he could land, his left hand forward and his right hand backward, and several long nails shot out.
The two of the other party had already moved and changed their positions, and the spike was lost.
A wave of hidden weapons suddenly broke out on the left side of Wei Zhanmei, and dozens of iron lotus seeds, poisonous trunks, sleeve darts, and locust stones rolled over. After the chain was hammered, it flew towards his right rib again.
The first two moves were just a test, this time it was a killer move of the left and right attack.
So what!
Wei Zhanmei raised his left hand and a tiny apricot flower nail was released. A green and empty look appeared on the left. All the opponent's hidden weapons were knocked down. His right hand pulled out two white slashing knives from his waist, and waved his hand and knocked the hammer head.
At this time, the clouds walked out of the moon, and the night light suddenly became clear. After retreating, Wei Zhanmei saw the two people on both sides clearly.
He had an impression of these two people. What was surprising was that they were the thin man and the old melon farmer who bargained in the morning market in the early morning!
The two of them didn't even face, and it seemed that they had the confidence to kill themselves.
In a moment of thought, the third wave of the killer's offensive arrived again.
The man in the left hand shook his hands, and this time he emitted bricks, tiles and stones on the ground, which were bigger than the two times just now.
The hammer head of the old man in his left hand that was knocked down by him bounced up again, and another hidden chain hammer in his right hand flew out at the same time. This time, the two hammer heads did not point to Wei Zhanmei's body, but instead hit him before and after, sealing the space for Wei Zhanmei to advance and retreat.
Seeing the man and the old man, Wei Zhanmei naturally thought of the fat woman pretending to be a man and a woman.
As expected, while the two of them attacked left and right, a woman with a mountain-shaped body stabbed her in front of her. Her body was erratic and swift, and she didn't look like her bloated and heavy figure.
This woman's offensive is the killing attack.
Chapter completed!
