Chapter 154 Draw
The veteran handed the lantern to Miaotong, and then carried Chen Sheng on his back.
After walking through the streets and alleys for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them came to the base of a city wall in the south of the city.
Chen Sheng got off the veteran's back, looked around, and said strangely: "Can you get out of the city from here?"
"Young man, don't worry, the villain will guarantee you to leave the city." The veteran replied, then picked up a stone from the ground and started smashing the wall.
Could it be that this old man was crazy about money and wanted to make a hole in the city wall?
When Chen Sheng was confused, he saw the veteran smashing it with all his might and smashing a hole the size of a head on the wall.
The veteran threw away the stones and slashed the walls along the holes. After a while, a large area was pulled down.
The city wall looked solid. After peeling off the wall, it was full of thatch, dead branches and gravels. It cut corners to the extreme and was too lazy to fill the mud.
"The earthquake last year, the city wall collapsed a lot. The imperial court issued all the money to repair the city walls by Shangguan, and finally only built a good product. When we were in the office, we didn't dare to go around, for fear that we would accidentally break it, and be charged with traitors and destroying the city defense." The veteran explained, and he took out the filling inside the wall as he said.
"I've seen it a lot." Chen Sheng said speechlessly, and asked Miaotong to help him walk away a little. The hundred and ten outlaws couldn't do anything to him. It would be too unfair if they were smashed to death by the city wall.
After the veteran took out a passage, he kicked the wall on the other side and waved to Chen Sheng and the others, "Young Master, you can leave the city."
After walking out of the hole in the wall with fear, Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, threw a gold bar of 100 taels to the veteran, and asked: "Which village is the closest village and town here, and how to get there?"
The veteran pointed in a direction and said, "It's a big road not far ahead. Walk the way westward. It's about 17 or 18 miles to reach Mule and Ma Town."
"I understand." Chen Sheng nodded and said, "You can go back now."
"Yes, take care of yourself, the old man said goodbye."
When the veteran turned around and stepped into the hole in the wall, Chen Sheng suddenly asked: "I was seriously injured and could not move. There was only a weak woman by my side. Have you never had any bad thoughts?"
The veteran turned around, raised the gold bar in his hand, and smiled and said, "The young master gave too much reward, and the old man will never spend it all in his life, so why take risks again?"
"You are content. Don't talk nonsense after you go back, be more nervous." Chen Sheng waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.
The old man was so sensible that Chen Sheng had no excuse to kill him to silence him, but the wall hole was placed here, so it seemed that there was no difference between destroying him or not.
"Don't worry, young master, the old man knows the importance of the matter. If a little wind is exposed, how can I protect this gold bar?"
After the veteran walked out of the scope of his spiritual observation, the two set out to walk in the direction pointed by the veteran.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to arrive on a road.
The two walked west along the main road for a while, and Chen Sheng pointed to the dense forest on the side of the road and said, "Let's go, let's go into the forest."
"Aren't you going to Muma Town?" Miaotong said in confusion.
"Just ask casually, it's a lot of insurance." Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Besides, with my current state, I can't stick to Muma Town."
It was winter, and the Little Ice River Age of the Ming Dynasty was so cold.
Although the rain was not heavy, after so much wet, Chen Sheng's whole body had been wet for a long time, and there was another injury. Blood loss and heat loss, the situation was not optimistic, and he needed to keep warm and treat the injury as soon as possible.
Miaotong supported Chen Sheng and was about to walk into the dense forest when suddenly a sound of breaking through the air came.
Chen Sheng turned around and grabbed the attacking scabbard, but his body was tilted by the power carried on the scabbard, and he fell to the ground with Miao Tong.
"You can't go anywhere."
In the rain curtain, a man held a knife in one hand, with a long handle and a thick back, pointing to the ground with a sharp edge, and slowly walked from behind.
"Those who kill my brother will be punished!"
There was also one more person ahead, holding two short knives to block the way.
The person coming was Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan. After they left the city, they immediately put down their errands and tried their best to follow Chen Sheng's traces.
But unexpectedly, Chen Sheng was heading in the same direction as Wei Zhongxian.
Because the two of them were trying to follow the traces, the speed was slower. When they chased Fucheng, the brigade of Jinyiwei had already entered the city and blocked the four gates.
Because they were afraid of being detained by Zhang Ying and asked for guilt, they delayed their pursuit of Chen Sheng. The two of them kept patrolling outside the city and happened to see the scene of Chen Sheng and others breaking out of the wall.
Then he followed quietly until Chen Sheng and the others walked on the main road, which was a little far away from Fucheng and would not alarm the Jinyiwei in the city, so they chose to take action.
Chen Sheng felt that God was playing with him, and since he came to this world, he seemed to have not had a better luck.
When playing with a woman, someone robs the clock at a critical moment; when he goes to the inn, he meets a hundred and ten outlaws; when he tries his best to escape, he meets an enemy before he has gone far.
If you give him a day or two to breathe and take Xiao Huandan to recover some strength, it will not be so miserable.
It was all caused by that shot. If I had known this, Chen Sheng...
I will still make the same choice. As for men, I live just for the trembling.
Those who block me will die!
Although Chen Sheng did not regret it, he had almost reached the point where he was at the end of his journey.
He needs someone to support him when walking, and he does not have one ten combat power, so he cannot be the opponent of these two people.
"Retribution comes so quickly. I will kill Shen Lian. It is reasonable for you to kill me. I have nothing to say." Chen Sheng seemed to have given up resistance. He lay on the ground and pointed at Miaotong who was helpless to help him up and said, "I killed people and have nothing to do with her. You should have heard of Miaotong from Ruanxiang Pavilion. The woman Shen Lian is thinking about, let her have a way out."
"No, Yan Lang, I don't want you to die." Miaotong opened her arms, protected Chen Sheng, and shouted: "If you want to kill, kill me first."
The two of them walked closer to stop, and Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "Ichichuan, pull her away."
"No, let me go, I beg you to let him go, let him go, I die, I die for him..." Miaotong struggled desperately.
However, she was a brothel woman with no power to tie a chicken and was very powerless to struggle desperately. She was easily pulled away by Jin Yichuan.
"Oh, it seems that my second brother has a true love, but he is wrong. This woman has no idea about him." Lu Jianxing held the hilt of the knife with both hands, turned the long knife, aiming the tip of the knife downward at Chen Sheng's heart, and said, "I originally wanted to catch you, peel off the skin and cramp, crush the bones and ashes to comfort the spirit of the second brother in the sky. However, judging from your appearance, I won't live long. I'd better send you on the road as soon as possible, it's a good deal."
Lu Jianxing lifted the long sword backwards, raised the handle of the knife above his head, and stabbed it downwards.
"No..." Miaotong shouted at the top of her lungs.
Zheng
Halfway through the long sword, the scabbard in Chen Sheng's hand suddenly stood up, facing the tip of the knife, and put the long sword into the sheath.
At the same time, Chen Sheng had an extra pistol in his left hand and pointed the trigger at Lu Jianxing's chest.
Bang
Lu Jianxing paused, and his strength quickly disappeared, and he did not fall down with a long sword.
"Brother!" Jin Yichuan's eyes were so bitter that he did not come forward rashly, but hid behind Miaotong.
He controlled Miaotong with one hand, took off the crossbow from his waist with the other hand, and put it on Miaotong's shoulder.
