Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 30

[30. Chapter twenty nine]

Qin Zhaolin was on duty tonight, and he planned to make do with one night at Zhengyangmen Tower. He was half asleep when Luo Xiaowei suddenly replied that there seemed to be the sound of swordsmen outside.

Tan Zhaolin was helpless, so he had to call a few officers and soldiers to go out to patrol the night. No sooner had he reached Zhaohe Bridge, when he saw His Thirteenth Highness holding a squat-looking officer with a knife and confronting twenty or so secret guards.

Tonight’s game involves too much, if you don’t succeed, you will become a benevolent person.

Compared with the success or failure of this game, Lu Yuwei’s life was insignificant at all.

Zhu Nanxian thought of this, and when he saw the dark guard gripping the handle of the knife, he suddenly sent the long knife in his hand to Lu Yuwei’s neck, and blood spurted out instantly. He immediately took a knife and slashed, and the blood beads rushed forward with the cold blade Qi.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Nanxian jumped back, grabbed Su Jin’s hand, who had quietly retreated to his side, and said briefly, “Let’s go!” As soon as the

two turned around, they bumped into someone who was rushing towards him. Qin Zhaolin who helped.

Seeing Su Jin, Tan Zhaolin’s eyes suddenly widened: “My mother, aren’t you Governor Su? Are you…Isn’t I blind?”

He was surprised, but blocked the way of Su Jin and the others.

The dark guards behind him rushed up, Zhu Nanxian sent Su Jin to Tan Zhaolin’s side, turned with a horizontal knife in front of him, resisted the vertical cuts of several dark guards, and leaned back, the knife held a flower in front of him, The dark guard was forced to retreat again.

Su Jin didn’t hesitate, immediately pulled out the long knife from Tan Zhaolin’s waist and stuffed it into his hand, scolding: “What are you doing, why don’t you help His Highness?!”

Only then did Tan Zhaolin react, leaving Xiaowei Luo to protect Su Jin , summoned several officers and soldiers behind to rush forward.

Although Zhu Nanxian is no longer one enemy, these secret guards are not easy to take care of, and the disparity between the numbers of the two sides is too large, and they are at a disadvantage in an instant.

Standing at the head of the bridge, Su Jin secretly clenched his short dagger, and said to Xiaowei Luo who was standing beside him: “Don’t worry about me, go and help His Highness.”

Who knew that Zhu Nanxian heard this and blocked a spear with a vertical knife. , passed through between the two spears.

His face was splattered with blood, but he took advantage of this gap to turn his head and said, “Don’t come, protect her!”

Su Jin’s eyes widened suddenly, and he said, “Be careful!” and blurted out.

Taking advantage of Zhu Nanxian’s turn around, the head guard of the dark guard suddenly escaped from Tan Zhaolin’s side, and a tiger leaped to Zhu Nanxian’s side and slashed his head with a knife.

Zhu Nanxian dodged sideways, but might as well be left behind, and a dark guard put the knife on his neck.

The blade between his neck was cold, Zhu Nanxian turned his face to the side, and his eyes swept over the dark guard.

Unexpectedly, the dark guard was deterred by his gaze, and it seemed that he finally remembered that the person under his sword was the high-ranking prince, and he did not succeed for a while.

The head guard’s eyes showed ruthlessness, and he immediately ordered: “Go!”

Without waiting for the dark guard to move, he drew a knife and stabbed Zhu Nanxian.

Just then, suddenly two arrows were shot from a distance, one hit the dark guard’s wrist, and the other hit the captain’s vest.

The two men’s paths were all loose. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Nanxian slightly turned sideways to avoid the slits of the double knives, raised his foot and kicked the wrist of Zhongjian, the dark guard. With a wave of the knife, the two of them were cut in half.

At the same time, Su Jin silently put on his hood and looked up.

From the depths of the long alley, two people came on horseback, and they were very close. By the light of the fire, one of them was Jin Yiwei Tong Zhi Wei Jiang, who had met before, and the other was Liu Chaoming.

Several Jinyi guards filed out from the long alley and fought against the dark guards.

Wei Jiang dismounted and handed hands with Zhu Nanxian: “His Royal Highness forgives your sins, the future is too late.” Without hesitation, he brought up the Embroidered Spring Sword and joined the battle.

Liu Chaoming also got off his horse, and first bowed to Zhu Nanxian with his hands together, his eyes paused slightly, and fell on the man next to him covered in the cloak.

Zhu Nanxian glanced at Su Jin and was relieved to see that she had put on her hood.

He put away the long knife, bowed back with Liu Chaoming and said, “Thank you, Mr. Liu.” Then he pulled Su Jin’s wrist and said in a low voice, “Go.

” Liu Chaoming asked coolly behind him, “Where’s Su Shiyu? Not with His Highness?”

Zhu Nanxian paused and turned his face slightly: “Master Liu asked about Su Jin?” Then he said, “This king I haven’t seen him tonight.”

Liu Chaoming stared at the man in the cloak next to Zhu Nanxian, and said slowly, “Really? Who is this?”

Zhu Nanxian turned around and took Su Jin towards him. Hiding behind him, he said indifferently, “It’s a maidservant whom this king and Ma Shaoqing asked for.” Then he said, “Why, does Master Liu even ask about this king’s private affairs?”

Liu Chaoming’s eyes were heavy.

He walked down the bridge, not wanting to talk to Zhu Nanxian any more, he went around him and raised his hand to knock off Su Jin’s hood, Zhu Nanxian stretched out his arms to stop him.

However, at this moment, a faint light flashed in the dark night, and Colonel Luo, who was standing by the side, suddenly stabbed with a dagger.

Dagger was originally stabbing Zhu Nanxian, but how could he know that he was fighting with Liu Chaoming, and just after the gap was leaked, Dagger suddenly pointed at Su Jin who was standing behind him.

Zhu Nanxian’s heart was shocked, and he turned around and rushed to take the knife for Su Jin. While the center of gravity was out of balance, he did not prevent being pushed to the other side by Liu Chaoming’s hand.

The dagger pointed at him, and Liu Chaoming didn’t have time to react, so he had to grab Su Jin’s wrist and yank her to his side.

The gust of wind picked up by this twist lifted Su Jin’s hood, and the cloak swept back, revealing a blue silk and plain dress.

Liu Chaoming couldn’t help being stunned. He looked at Su Jin with complicated eyes, as if mixed with surprise and anger, and even more confused and puzzled.

It was this stunned effort that made him not avoid him for a while, and the dagger that had stabbed Su Jin went straight into his left arm.

The wound was not deep, but the blood was still gurgling out. Luo Xiaowei saw that he could not get a single blow and wanted to stab again, but his body suddenly tightened – it turned out that the moment he stabbed the dagger into Liu Chaoming’s left arm, Su Jin also pulled out the The dagger Nan Xian gave her pierced into his right chest.

At the same time, Zhu Nanxian held the knife like the moon, pushed the knife backhand, sent it to his neck, and cut off the head of Luo Xiaowei.

Liu Chaoming stared at Su Jin dazedly, his eyes were frightened and angered like thunder and cloud bursts, but in an instant it turned into an autumn wind and rain, the rain was like fog, it was from the beginning, he hadn’t seen her clearly.

He didn’t even have time to take care of the bleeding wound on his left arm, and he only thought about what the old imperial censor said on his deathbed –

Su Shiyu’s life is too difficult, too difficult.

Liu Chaoming felt ridiculous.

It turned out to be so difficult.

There was nowhere to put the confusion and inexplicable anger in his mouth, so he had to swallow. There was a suffocation of knocked teeth and blood swallowed, and his internal organs were like being soaked in boiling water.

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Nanxian coolly: “Your Highness is crazy? If the prince knows that you have blocked this knife for her, will she still have her life?” There were

footsteps suddenly behind him, and Liu Chaoming’s heart suddenly changed. Zhen, actually subconsciously covered the hood for Su Jin, pulled the corner of the cloak to cover her whole body, and then turned around.

Wei Jiang watched the scene, and was about to plead guilty, but Liu Chaoming raised his hand to stop it.

He glanced at the other end of Zhaohe Bridge, and all the dark guards had been slaughtered and were being escorted into a row by the Jinyi guards, waiting for his questioning.

Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and said coldly: “Kill them all.”

Wei Jiang was stunned, very puzzled: “Don’t you leave a living room to ask questions?”

But Liu Chaoming didn’t answer him.

Wei Jiang looked at Zhu Nanxian, who was standing beside him, and asked for instructions, “That’s what His Highness Thirteen meant too?”

Zhu Nanxian nodded slightly: “Kill.”

Su Jin glanced at the injury on Liu Chaoming’s shoulder and wanted to cut it off. A piece of clothing stopped the bleeding for him, but when he raised his hand, he found that Liu Chaoming was still holding his wrist tightly.

Liu Chaoming seemed to be disturbed by her actions, looked down at the hand he was holding on Su Jin’s wrist, stunned for a moment, and released it abruptly as if it was hot.

Then he shook his head and took a step back: “It’s not in the way.”

Xiuchun’s sword was unsheathed, and the twenty or so guards on the bridge died in an instant.

Wei Jiang carried Tan Zhaolin and threw it under the bridge. He cupped his hands and asked for instructions: “Your Highness, Master Liu, is this a man of merit, should he be killed?”

Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, and asked Zhu Nanxian, “This is Your Highness’s man. ?”

Zhu Nanxian has not recovered from Liu Chaoming’s words just now.

He was a little panicked, and for a moment he remembered what Shen Xi said to him in the front hall of the palace that day –

you are your highness, but you have no supreme power, and you even grew up under the shade of this supreme power.

If you really want to protect someone, otherwise you are strong enough, or she is strong enough.

He was still ignorant at the time.

But at this moment, he completely understood.

Yes, he was born under the shadow of this power. If he can’t hold this power in his hands, he is not even qualified to block a knife for her.

Zhu Nanxian looked away, and said solemnly, “Master Liu thinks he should kill, so let’s kill it.”

Tan Zhaolin is not a fool. Although those secret guards deserve to die, it is more useful to leave a few alive than to kill them all. The reason why Liu Chaoming let Wei Jiang kill them all must be because these people have seen Su Jin’s women’s clothing.

Even if there is no immediate determination that she is a daughter, even if there is even a hint of speculation, it may cause a catastrophe in the future and let her die here.

Qin Zhaolin knew that he was also in a major disaster, but because Wei Jiang was present, he did not dare to explain more, and only kowtowed to Liu Chaoming with snot and tears.

Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, and said to Wei Jiang: “Presumably His Royal Highness is on his way here, Wei Tongzhi might as well go back to Lord Wei first, and he will come after this judge finishes his trial.

” A censor of the Zuodu capital, a direct prince, Wei Jiang was worried about the safety of the two and was reluctant to leave, but he also saw that Liu Chaoming was deliberately trying to separate him, so he didn’t dare to say more, and immediately led a group of Jinyiwei to leave. .

The streets and alleys became quiet again, until now, the hustle and bustle had passed, and I could smell the thick bloody odor that filled the surroundings. Liu Chaoming

looked at Qin Zhaolin and didn’t talk nonsense to him, he just asked, “Where is my hometown and how many people are there?”

Malaria, my mother and child passed away before they survived the high fever. Right now, there are still me and my daughter-in-law at home. Relatives don’t often come and go…”

Liu Chaoming interrupted him and asked Zhu Nanxian, “Is what he said true?

Zhu Nanxian lowered his eyes and said, “This king is going to ask Zuo Qian.” Liu Chaoming said, “No need.” Then he looked at Tan

Zhaolin, “This official doesn’t move you, do you know why?”

He counted his head: “My lord, my lord, if the last general has lost his tongue, he will die. Even if His Royal Highness asks the prince, the last general will not reveal a word about Governor Su.”

Zhu Minda’s accountability is only the reason one.

Too many people died at Zhaohe Qiaotou, no matter what, Zhu Minda would definitely be suspicious.

Liu Chaoming said lightly, “Besides that, remember that no matter who your Highness finds the clue in the future and presses you, I will investigate the means of the court, and it will only be ten times more ruthless than this Highness.”
