Rain, Jiangning Prison.
When the sounds of fighting spread out, the chaos that had spread out was already out of control.
Jailers, prison breakers, prison guards, thieves, gangsters, innocent people, rebel thieves, and so on were still fighting inside and outside the prison. Some of them had already escaped and began to cause trouble nearby. At this time, the jailers and soldiers who were still able to resist because of their higher martial strength had been separated into groups. This time, the main purpose of Liangshan entering the city was to break the prison. They were not obsessed with killing all the people, which was why they could resist until now.
On the other hand, some rebel leaders of Fang La's faction, who had been released by the Liangshan people, had been humiliated by these soldiers along the way. Once they got out of the prison, they became very enthusiastic in killing. However, after all, they did not want to be caught again. After killing for a while, they still maintained their rationality and quickly left the prison with the people of Liangshan.
On the other side of the prison, the battle between Li Kui, Yang Xiong, and the young lieutenant was almost white-hot. No one else could enter the battle. The junior colonel fought Li Kui and Yang Xiong alone with an iron spear. He felt that his life was in danger every moment, but he was like a rope that was stretched to the extreme. Although it felt like it was going to break at every moment, he always maintained that dangerous front line. The moves of the iron spear were not particularly agile, but every thrust, every wave, every block, and every block were sharp and ruthless. Countless sparks flew when the iron spear collided with the double axes and the serrated saber.
Although most of the people in Liangshan were not good people, Li Kui was a man of strong character. At first, he only wanted to fight with someone alone. Therefore, in the beginning, he was fighting with the junior colonel, while Yang Xiong was watching from the side. However, as the fight went on, the junior colonel's spear skills became stronger and stronger. Just like when he was fighting with four people, the iron spear swung and smashed fiercely, even suppressing Li Kui's brute force. Only then did Yang Xiong join in, and the two of them suppressed the sharpness of the junior colonel.
However, the junior colonel's marksmanship was both offensive and defensive. Even when he was on the verge of being injured at any moment, he was still able to deliver a killing blow or two from time to time, causing the two of them to be inwardly shocked. On Liangshan, both of them were first-rate martial artists. Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen might be slightly better, but if they were to really fight, it would be hard to predict the outcome. No one could have imagined that an officer in the army could have such high martial arts skills.
However, with Li Kui and Yang Xiong working together, it was enough to suppress the junior colonel. The rest of the Liangshan elites broke through the wooden bars on the side and opened the prison door. There were also a few rebels in Fang La's cell. As soon as the cell door was opened, they immediately left. Some of them tried to pick up their weapons and come to help Li Kui and Yang Xiong. These people were the leaders in Fang La's army, and they were quite skilled in martial arts. However, the junior colonel was a tough man. Seeing that the prisoners behind him were about to escape, he shouted, "Don't go!" Even when he was besieged by two experts, he still tried to block them with his iron spear. Of course, it did not work. His hand was cut by Yang Xiong's serrated saber, and blood immediately spilled out. Almost at the same time, he stabbed Yang Xiong's face with an extremely sharp strike, leaving a bloody mark on Yang Xiong's face.
Finally, the junior colonel was blocked. After all, it was not a suitable time for a protracted battle for the people of Liangshan. Seeing that they could not defeat the junior colonel, Yang Xiong and Li Kui finally withdrew. The junior colonel chased after them and killed a leader of Fang La's army who was running behind them. Seeing that the surroundings were in chaos, he gave up the chase.
At this time, most of the people of Liangshan and the leaders under Fang La's command had fought their way out of the prison. At this time, some bandits who could not see the situation clearly or were eager to kill were still besieging some soldiers and jailers who were struggling to survive. The junior colonel brandished his spear and rushed forward, knocking down all the bandits nearby with one shot. In the blink of an eye, he had gathered a team of more than ten people.
After the people of Liangshan left, it was relatively easy to solve the crisis nearby. When they fought their way out of the prison gate, the junior colonel was surrounded by some wounded people. The riot outside had spread in the city, and the magistrate's office seemed to have made some moves. However, the bailiffs and patrolmen in the city were not strong, and they would probably be scattered by the people of Liangshan. Looking at the situation, the junior colonel wrapped the wound on his arm with a piece of white cloth and said, "They haven't run far. If we chase them now, we can still catch them!"
He was fierce and brave. The others had escaped from death, but they were not willing to take the risk with him. Someone said, "These bandits of Liangshan came prepared. We're all injured. Let's leave it to the garrison of Jiangning …" The junior colonel was not their direct superior. In the chaos just now, the officers were either scattered or killed, so they could not find a superior who could make these people work for them. The junior colonel looked at them, clenched his teeth, shook his spear, and chased them in the heavy rain.
At this time, in the heavy rain, there were still many prisoners making trouble around or running away, but the junior colonel did not pay attention to them. At this time, a few people rushed over from the side of the road. The man in the lead was tall, and he knocked down two people in the blink of an eye. He looked at the situation in the prison, then looked at the officer who rushed over, and came up to him. "Lieutenant Yue, you're Lieutenant Yue, right? Do you still remember me … What happened here?"
Lieutenant Yue looked at him a few times. "Officer Wenren …"
The newcomer was Wenren Buer, who was in Jiangning at the moment. He had an impression of this officer because this officer had been very brave and fierce when Hangzhou City was breached. Later on, he had also interacted with this officer twice. The officer knew that the opening of the Hangzhou City Gate was due to this man's activities in the city. Therefore, he was very respectful and told him what had happened in the prison. It turned out that after the battle in Hangzhou was settled, General Xin Xingzong arranged for a group of soldiers to escort the prisoners to the north, and conveniently asked Lieutenant Yue to go north to deliver a letter. He came with the group of prisoners, but he was not their superior.
The matter was explained in a few words. When everyone was about to follow the direction in which the people of Liangshan went, they saw two horses galloping in the rain. One of them was in the front, and the other horse was far behind. The person on the horse was a woman. It was Yuan Jin 'er, who came to look for Wenren Buer. The two horses stopped Wenren Buer and the others, and then Yuan Jin 'er told them about the attack on the Su family.
It turned out that although Yunzhu did not let Yuan Jin 'er go to the Su mansion with her, Yuan Jin' er secretly followed her not long after. She did not wait for Yunzhu outside, but saw the chaos and killing in the Su family. If other people saw it, they would not be able to find reinforcements in a short time. However, Wenren Buer had arranged people to protect her and Yunzhu, so she found some people. Originally, she wanted to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to look for Kang Xian or Lu Agui, but she did not expect to meet Wenren Buer on the way.
What really worried Jin 'er was not only the chaos in the Su family, but also the fact that Yunzhu had not come out from the Su family …
*****
Just as Ning Yi said, they could not care so much. After the chaos in the Su mansion, of course, no one had the spare time to care about a woman who came in from outside the mansion. In the heavy rain, the few courtyards near the main hall of the Su mansion were in a mess. Many people from the Su family who were lucky enough to meet up had gathered there. The children were crying, the wounded were moaning, and it was a mess. The guards had built a simple defense line based on the courtyard wall, and they had also obtained a few crossbows, which could threaten some of the Liangshan strongmen at close range. However, the fighting was still dangerous. Occasionally, some men in black would rush in and kill one or two people, but they were forced to retreat by the cooperation of some of the young people from the Su family.
Su Yu supported himself with his walking stick, shouting at the door of the room, and driving some of the timid young people to take their weapons to fight. Although he was indeed old, he still had a dignified bearing. Of course, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of anxiety. Some people had arrived, but there were still many who hadn't. He counted in his heart, and sometimes he would pull someone over and ask, "Where's Yunfang … and your Seventh Uncle? Did you see them? Did they come out with cannons … "
Such questions could be heard everywhere in the courtyards. Women were asking about the whereabouts of their husbands and children, men were looking for their parents, and occasionally, people could be seen suddenly standing up, holding a knife and a gun, and shouting, "I'll fight you to the death!" In the chaos of fighting with the men in black, Su Yu also saw Su Tan 'er standing in the crowd. She had just given birth, and she should still be in the period of confinement. At this time, half of her body was wet, and she was staggering.
"Did you see Xiaochan and Juan 'er …" Most of the people she stopped were maids and servants. Some of them could provide some clues, but most of them shook their heads.
Su Yu went over and pulled her back to the eaves. Seeing it was Su Yu, Su Tan 'er was also stunned, and then she almost cried, "Grandpa …"
Su Yu looked at her for a moment, and then asked, "Where's Liheng?"
"He, he was seen. He led those people away … and then … and then … I don't know where he is …"
"Seen?" Su Yu was a little confused. He looked around and asked, "Where's your child?"
"Xiaochan was holding him. We were separated on the way. I thought they all came …" She thought for a moment, and finally calmed down, saying, "Grandpa, it's Xi Junyu."
"What?"
"It's Xi Junyu. He came with the bandits of Liangshan to seek revenge."
"… I see." After just a moment of hesitation, Su Yu had already understood. He clenched his crutch with both hands and hit the ground twice. "Tan 'er, listen to me. You have to find a way to escape. I'll call Guardian Geng and the others to protect you when you escape. Take a few more people with you, including Wen Ding and Wen Fang. The most important thing is that you and Liheng must survive! This is the city. They can't kill the Su family, but he will definitely kill you. You and Liheng can only lead the Su family to seek revenge if you and Liheng are alive. You … how good is Liheng's martial arts? Can he escape? Is there any way to inform him to escape? "
Su Tan 'er was stunned. "Liheng, he … he won't escape …"
"A wise man submits to circumstances. In such a situation, he must be able to see the situation clearly … Is there any way … to let Guardian Geng and the others protect you to find him … he …"
When Su Yu said this, there was a bang of a gunshot in the distance. It sounded like a firecracker in the rain, but Su Tan 'er turned her head and looked there in a daze. "But … he won't escape, and I can't inform him …"
"Grandpa has also heard of the bandits of Liangshan. They are rebelling. Liheng can't beat those people …"
"He can't beat them, but how can we find him now …" Su Tan 'er choked with sobs and put the back of her hand to her mouth. Over the past few months, the courtyard had been besieged from all sides. In other places, there were also black-robed men wantonly killing. The dark rain and the tall walls were like mountains blocking the way. It was unknown what kind of battle Ning Yi was in, but the murderous intent from all directions seemed to be impossible to disperse.
Just as her grandfather had said, at this moment, Su Tan'er actually hoped that Ning Yi would escape alone. However, she knew in her heart that it was impossible. That was her husband. Although he seemed to have a good temper and stood aloof from worldly affairs, he was her husband. But in reality, once he encountered something that he truly valued, it was impossible for him to simply retreat or give up. He was the kind of person who would struggle and tear out a bloody path even in the most disadvantageous situation. As long as there was hope, there was still the possibility of redemption. Husband would not like the feeling of coming back for revenge after his entire family had died.
This kind of person was very powerful and admirable. He was her husband, and she also liked him very much, very much. It was also because of this that she understood in her heart that when the situation was stronger than the person, most of the time, there was no result even if she struggled. Most of the time, she would only struggle until she was drenched in blood until she lost her life. Her husband's martial arts skills were not necessarily very high, but every time he fought with others, he would fight with his life on the line. Even if he won, he would still be injured. But this time, even the dangerous situation was different from the one in Hangzhou. Xi Junyu was unprepared. Seeing so many of her family members die, she was really a little afraid. She hoped that her husband would not stubbornly contend with the people there and look for opportunities. If possible, she hoped that he could escape …
Such a thought flashed in her heart. She watched as lightning suddenly flashed under the dusky curtain of rain, but the sounds of fighting seemed to become more intense in the thunder. And at the side of the Su mansion that she could not see, in a place shrouded in darkness and murderous intent, Ning Yi was also using his own strength to fight with his life, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in this thick darkness …
