The knife light danced and pressed forward. The young master did not forget to turn back and shout, asking his two companions to take Qin Siyuan first. Ning Yi held the gun in one hand, and the other hand had already taken out a match. However, he took a few steps back, but he couldn't light the gun. In the crowd at the door, the tall and thin man suddenly turned around and rushed to Qin Siyuan. In a few breaths, the burliest man had also noticed what happened here. He grabbed the weapons in the hands of several gangsters and slashed fiercely. In the blink of an eye, he cleared a path and narrowed the distance between him and Song Qian. The two of them fought with each other.
At this time, the nobleman had already rushed to the side of the scar-faced man's corpse. He glanced at the desolate corpse and looked at Ning Yi, who was unable to reach the door to help. He snorted coldly and shook his steel knife, ready to rush forward. Ning Yi was about to let go of the gun at this time. Suddenly, he heard a woman's cry next to him.
"Ah —"
With a bang, two figures crashed into the broken wall and window, falling into the Qinhuai River in the second lunar month.
"Jin 'er —"
It was Jin 'er who saw Yun Zhu was injured and rushed over crying. She hugged the young master and crashed into the river. At this time, the ice and snow had not melted in some places. The weather was freezing, and the river was cold. How could ordinary girls stand it? Ning Yi was startled. He craned his neck to look at the river, but Yunzhu had already gotten up from the ground.
"Jin 'er is fine. You go and help Elder Qin …"
According to Yun Zhu's thoughts, this group of people was so fierce. It would be best if Ning Yi could avoid them. However, even though she wished for it, she was still able to distinguish the severity of the matter. She hurriedly said those words and also looked down from the hole. The water ripples were chaotic, and the two figures fell down, but for a moment, they did not see them. Ning Yi took a few more glances before he finally gritted his teeth and rushed to the door. After running for a few steps, he heard Yunzhu call out, "Jin 'er." But naturally, he didn't have the time to go back and check on Jin' er's situation.
From the start of the chaos until now, it had only been a minute or so. The entrance was in a state of chaos. Amidst the fighting, some of the guests who had planned to rush out were now running inside. Ning Yi lit a match and waved it a few times, making the fire brighter. However, when he rushed over, he was stopped several times by the guests who were running back. He couldn't run over at all.
In the chaotic battle on the other side of the field of vision, the burly man had already fought with Song Qian several times. It was hard to see clearly in the chaotic crowd, but in short, Song Qian, who was supposed to protect Elder Qin, was at a disadvantage. Ning Yi shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! "But how could that have any effect? He raised the musket and aimed at the opposite side, "Give me your help!"
The tall and thin man with two knives heard Ning Yi's shout. His face was covered in blood, and he swung his knife at Ning Yi. There were many people. Ning Yi squeezed to the side, and the knife only stabbed into the arm of the person in front of him. There was another chaotic scream.
The tall and thin man wasn't afraid that Ning Yi would shoot from so far away in the crowd. His aim wasn't accurate at all, and there were so many people in the middle. But he noticed that the nobleman wasn't following Ning Yi anymore. He didn't know what happened, but he also yelled, "Come on!" But it was exactly the same as Ning Yi's provocation just now. He looked at his burly companion and wanted to kill Qin Siyuan. As long as he could stall here for a while, he would succeed.
Ning Yi reached out and ignited the musket. He aimed the muzzle at the tall and thin man, and then at the burly man. But in the crowd, the muzzle was squeezed several times. The fuse was still burning. The tall and thin man moved to the side and shouted, "Be careful of that guy's musket!" The burly man who was fighting with Song Qian glanced over coldly. He slashed Song Qian a few more times, and the light from his knife burst out.
It was just a matter of a breath. The fuse burned shorter and shorter. The tall and thin man looked at him in a sorry state in the crowd and revealed a mocking smile. In the next moment, he saw Ning Yi throw the musket with force.
"Catch the gun —"
"Be careful —"
"Ah —"
The shouts gathered together. The musket flew over the crowd with the light from the fuse. Song Qian raised his knife and leaped high. On one hand, he slashed at the burly man, and on the other hand, he tried to catch the musket flying from the burly man's back.
In the next moment, a hand grabbed the musket. Song Qian was kicked into the air.
This time, the burly man suddenly turned around and kicked Song Qian away. He even gave Ning Yi a ferocious smile. He grabbed the gun in his hand and with a swoosh, he turned around again and aimed at Qin Siyuan, who was a few meters away and no longer blocked by Song Qian.
Time froze at this moment.
Bang —
The gunshot sounded like a huge explosion. Smoke and dust were accompanied by red light, and then blood flew out. The burly man's body leaned back slightly.
But it was not the recoil.
At this moment, the musket exploded. The bamboo piece and iron handle suddenly sent a huge impact to the back. It swept past half of the burly man's face and took away one of his eyes.
If a musket was fired normally, the power of the explosion would probably not be as great as this time. In most cases, there would still be bullets flying forward. But the explosion this time was different. The amount of gunpowder was several times more than a normal shot. The front was almost completely blocked, and the impact was directed to the back as much as possible.
The few muskets that Ning Yi was going to return to Kang Xian this time were mostly broken. He had already considered when he loaded the musket. It was difficult to load the musket. In front of a master, its power was actually limited. If these were really skilled and bold assassins, he would probably only have one chance to make a move if they were ready to escape after making a move in the city. Just like the noble young master who rushed over, he would not give you a second chance to ignite the gun. Therefore, he only loaded one gun and used the other as a grenade, just in case.
His original consideration was that they had more people. Even if he killed one with one shot, the other side would still have the upper hand. With the musket on his back, as long as he revealed a flaw and let them take the initiative to grab it, he would be able to kill one more person after one shot. However, this plan could not be repeated, so there was no need for a third shot. Although this time was somewhat different from the plan, he deliberately pretended to be squeezed by people, and sure enough, it worked.
Among the heart-wrenching cries of pain, there was also an indescribable feeling of shock. The tall and thin man was almost stunned for a moment. It was a pity that he did not know Ning Yi, nor had he heard of the nickname "Ten Steps to Calculate". Otherwise, he would definitely have a different feeling in his heart. When he looked back again, he saw that Ning Yi, who was blocked just now, had pushed many people away and rushed over here. The figure shouted in a low voice, "You are already dead!"
The burliest man raised his hand to cover his face. When he came to his senses, he seemed to want to use his courage to rush to Qin Siyuan. However, he was also pulled by the tall and thin man, "Go! Go! "
"Kill them! Kill them! "
The burly man struggled a few times, but finally realized that it was impossible. He and his tall and thin companion rushed to kill the gangsters who blocked the intersection and ran away.
Ning Yi did not have much confidence in his close combat with these masters. The scar-faced man just now was an example. If he did not have some foundation in self-defense skills such as joint technique and had studied it with Lu Hongti, he was afraid that he would have been dead. At this time, seeing them leave, he naturally did not dare to chase. There were still some gangsters who rushed over here. They had also been affected by the two burly men and Song Qian. Most of them had fallen, but the rest still seemed to want to fight. At this time, Song Qian had already climbed up. He also probably realized that the background of this group of gangsters was different from that of the assassins. At this time, he blocked in front of Qin Siyuan and took out an ID card from his body.
"Prince Kang's Mansion is working here. Who are you? How dare you work with the assassins! Do you want to rebel! "
As soon as these words came out, the gang of gangsters also stopped fighting in astonishment.
The situation slowed down a little, but the surroundings seemed to be full of misery. Looking back at the mess in the hall, fortunately, although it was crowded just now, it was mainly because many tables and chairs had occupied the space. When some people hid under the tables, there was no vicious stampede. When he saw the woman in the white dress standing at the broken wall, Ning Yi suddenly remembered that Jin 'er and the noble young master had fallen into the river. He quickly walked to the side and saw the splashing of the water. Half of the noble young master's body was trying to rush out of the water. As soon as he floated, he suddenly sank again.
The situation in the water was chaotic. A few seconds later, the young master's two hands came out again as if he wanted to grab something. Then, he sank down again. This happened several times. Occasionally, he stretched out his head and wanted to call for help. However, he was often drowned in the river water before he could finish his sentence. But the figure of Jin 'er did not appear. After a while, there was blood gushing out of the water.
Ning Yi watched for a while and could vaguely see a figure like a mermaid — it should be said that it was like a piranha circling around the body of the noble young master in the water. Then Elder Qin also came over. After all, the old man had seen big events, so he had calmed down. He looked at Ning Yi a few times and said, "That is …"
"It should be Jin 'er …"
The blood spread downstream, but the movement in the water gradually subsided. After a while, on the stone steps by the river, a woman suddenly came out of the water. She was wet all over, and her long hair was scattered like water weeds. It was Jin 'er. She dragged a man's body with one hand and held a hairpin in her mouth. The lower body of the man who was dragged out of the water was still gushing blood. It was the noble young master who was dying at this time.
When they were in the water just now, Jin 'er not only kept pulling him into the water, but also took the hairpin and stabbed it into his thighs and buttocks. The vision in the water was not good, so she might have stabbed in a few wrong places during this period. For example, when she stabbed his buttocks, it was also possible that she stabbed the front. Ning Yi also knew that Yuan Jin 'er was good at swimming. At this time, he felt a chill in his heart and secretly said that he must stay away from the water when he quarreled with this woman in the future.
The woman had been soaking in the water for a long time in this weather, and her whole body was wet, so she must be cold. After coming ashore, she hugged her body and sniffed. Then, someone came over and put a piece of clothing on her. She looked up and saw that it was Ning Yi who took off his torn robe and put it on her. She did not refuse. When Ning Yi put his arm around her shoulder, she even leaned into Ning Yi's arms.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine …" She sniffed, "Where's Sister Yunzhu?"
While they were talking, Yunzhu had already rushed out with her hand covering her shoulder. She took Jin 'er from Ning Yi's arms. Ning Yi looked at the mark on her shoulder and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"It hurts a little." Yunzhu smiled, "But it should be fine."
"I'll call the doctor right away."
"Well, I'll take Jin 'er upstairs first. She needs to change clothes and take a bath."
At this time, although Yunzhu was confused and wanted to say something to Ning Yi, after all, Jin 'er could not stay here in this state for a long time. She said and helped Jin' er to leave. Song Qian would naturally deal with the gang of gangsters here. Ning Yi looked at the half-dead young master and asked Qin Siyuan, "Elder Qin, who are they? Do you have any clue?"
Elder Qin also looked at the man and thought for a moment. After a while, he smiled with a somewhat complicated expression, but then he sighed, "I haven't encountered such a thing for many years. These … I'm afraid that they are Liao people …"
Ning Yi nodded. Thinking about the clothes of these people in the north, it did seem that they came from Liao. However, although they were brave, there seemed to be no formal plan or organization for today's action, which was a bit strange.
Looking at Qin Siyuan, he used to think that he lived a leisurely life. During this period, perhaps there were really twists and turns. Not only did people praise him, scold him, and visit him, but at this time, even Liao people came to assassinate him. In this way, the rumors in the market might really be credible.
In recent years, the turbulence and disputes between Jin and Liao might really have a part in the power of this old man who had lived in Jiangning for many years … Ning Yi sighed slightly in his heart. However, looking at Elder Qin's attitude, unless something big really happened, he would probably still not speak about these things. Ning Yi was not a person who liked to gossip. Although he felt that this matter was magnificent and interesting, after all, it was not that he had not done similar things in the past. In his heart, he was worried about Yunzhu's injury and Jin 'er's condition, so he immediately turned around and ordered someone to call a doctor to check on the injuries of the two people.
This afternoon's incident happened at the right time. The dozens of ruffians at the door did not know why they came. After Ning Yi called a doctor, he went to ask, and only then did he know that they were actually called to come to Takeshi to make trouble. Song Qian's position in the Prince's Mansion was not considered low. Just now, when he was on the brink of life and death, he still had a lingering fear at this moment. However, he also knew that this time, he had really made a great contribution. He admired Ning Yi who threw the gun at him. Even so, he also disliked this group of ruffians. At this moment, he knew that Ning Yi was related to this Takeshi, so he lightly snorted, "Colluding with assassins to commit murder in the street. This time, not only them, but also the mastermind behind them, none of them will escape."
Of course, he knew that the assassins had nothing to do with this group of people, but since they had encountered them, they really deserved it.
At this moment, the government's constables had also arrived. After a while, people from the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Son-In-Law's Mansion also rushed over, led by Lu Agui. They took the dying young master back and also found some things on him, among which there was a document on trade.
"People from Liao." Lu Agui also showed the document to Ning Yi, "I did not expect such a thing to happen. Even Duke Qin has lived in seclusion for seven years, these guys … really go too far!"
