Chapter 704: The Young Phoenix’s Cry Shakes the World (7)

Horse hooves crushed the darkness of dawn, and a ray of dawn emerged from the east. Helin, who had been silent all night, suddenly came to life at this moment. Roosters crowed, thousands of dogs barked, and oxcarts pulling dung were ready to appear in the streets. Above, there were shouts, and the closed doors were opened one after another. As soon as they stepped out, they saw groups of knights running towards them not far away, and they immediately retreated.

Lu Shiren was very anxious. As a former senior spy of Yan Lingwei, he naturally knew the methods of Yan Lingwei. In this aspect, Dong Hu was still a student and could not be compared with them. At this moment, what he wanted to fight for was If you go a little early in the morning, you can catch both the stolen goods and others. If you go so early in the evening, you may not even be able to catch a single chicken feather.

So after accidentally catching Yan Lingwei's contact person, he immediately brought him to trial in person. With his vicious and unique methods, no one could keep secrets. Lu Shiren felt that he was fast enough, and the other party should There was no time to react.

Ahead is the target this time, Hong's Grocery Store. Looking at the still silent street, a smile appeared on Lu Shiren's face. However, the next moment, his smile immediately solidified. Just under his nose, a ball of flames burst out from the fire shop. It looked strange. It was large, but it was like falling on grease. In an instant, the entire house was completely engulfed in flames, and the bright fire light illuminated half of the street.

"The water is gone!" A shrill roar resounded through the streets. The doors that had been closed again because of the arrival of these knights were slammed open. Countless people carrying buckets and basins rushed towards this side. , and the houses in Helin are mostly made of wood. Once the water enters the street, it is often difficult for a street to be spared, which is above history. Helin once suffered heavy losses due to fire, so every street has a special water dragon team to put out fires. There will be a water storage tank in the yard of every household, which must be filled with water. Every once in a while, the inner square will be filled with water. The head of the workshop will come to check on the house. If the stock is not filled up according to the regulations, you will be punished. Once the water goes out. Every household must come out to help put out the fire.

Within a short period of time, golden gongs rang on the street, and countless people rushed out from both sides of the street and ran towards Hong's Grocery Store.

Lu Shiren jerked his horse. At this moment, he was only a hundred steps away from his target, looking at the flames rising there. He was filled with surprise and uncertainty in his heart. His opponent was so quick. Now that he was on fire, he was only afraid of this time. I'm going to miss out.

"Sir, do you want us to go up, or there are still people inside." A knight behind him whispered.

Lu Shiren shook his head, "No. Watch." Staring at the rising flames, a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart that his opponent had set the fire. Is it just because you want to cover your escape? Look at this fire, it burns so quickly, it seems that it has been planned for a long time, but if you have the time to make this plan, can't you escape further?

Lightly reining in the horse, he slowly retreated, all the way to the center of the knight. Dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The opponent was afraid that he was targeting him. He looked at the dense crowd of people rushing towards him like a flood. People of fire,

Among these many people, which one is the one who wants to kill him?

There were more and more people, and the thick crowd of dense farmers pushed the knights around. Among the crowd, the war horses were completely unable to move away. The man on the horse was so tall that he became the most conspicuous one. Target.

"Someone wants to kill me!" Lu Shiren suddenly shouted, curling up tightly and huddled up on the horse. He was a veteran spy, but he was powerless. No one could beat him with torture, but he used What he has is his professional knowledge. If he is placed on the street, an ordinary strong man can easily knock him down.

Hearing Lu Shiren's shout, the knights who came with him suddenly became nervous. With a swishing sound, they unsheathed their scimitars. These people were all from the palace guards, and Lu Shiren was a person that their king valued very much. , if Lu Shiren died, they would not survive. Several knights completely trapped Lu Shiren among them. The knights on the periphery held swords in one hand and waved riding whips in the other, beating the people around them.

"Get away, get away!" they shouted angrily.

But there were so many people, and everyone was running forward desperately. A whip hit the person in front. Before the person could react, he was pushed forward by the people behind him. He couldn't let the fire go. If the fire spreads, all the people on this street will be buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Lu Shiren was originally not afraid of death, otherwise he would not have come to Donghu and tried his best to hide with Miranda. But when his identity was revealed and he betrayed Yan Lingwei, he became extremely afraid of death. After the fall of Ning Zecheng and the drastic changes in Yan Lingwei, he once breathed a sigh of relief. The people he feared most were dead. Even Li Yuncong, who was specially in charge of these people, also died shortly afterwards. He once thought that he was safe. But at this moment today, he suddenly discovered that the dark cloud hanging over his head had never dissipated.

"Someone wants to kill me!" His body curled up tighter, holding a short knife in his hand, and his whole body was trembling. At this moment, he remembered the vicious methods used by Yan Lingwei when they eliminated the traitors.

In the crowded crowd, amid the crackling of flames and the shouts of the crowd, the shrill sound of crossbow arrows suddenly rang out. This sound may not be clear to the people at the moment, but it is so conspicuous to these well-trained knights. With a flash of cold light, a knight swung his sword to block the flying crossbow arrow, jumped off his horse, and the sword light slashed directly at a middle-aged man in the crowd. The man was disheveled and holding a bucket in his hand. He looked no different from most people on the street, but when the knight flew over, he threw the crossbow arrow in his hand, and then stretched out his hand and took out a short knife from the bucket. With a bang, he blocked the knight's scimitar. The knight landed and rushed forward. The sword light flashed again, and the man screamed loudly. The hand holding the knife had been cut off by the scimitar. The man screamed but stretched out his hands and rushed forward fiercely. The knight couldn't retreat. He had already fallen to the ground. There were people around him. He shouted angrily, turned his scimitar around, put it on his elbow, and swung it forward. In the flash of the knife, he had already cut off the man's head. A cavity of blood rushed to the sky, but the man actually hugged him in his arms at this moment.

The knight felt a sharp pain in his left side at this moment. He opened his eyes wide in shock and saw a pair of cold eyes, saw the grim smile at the corner of the man's mouth, and saw the man shouting and carrying a bucket with the crowd. His consciousness gradually blurred, but he was wrapped and continued to move forward.

"Murder!"

Everything just now happened in a flash. The attacker's head fell off, blood rushed to the sky, and the knight immediately stabbed the vital point from his side. Blood fell from the air. The crowd realized that there was chaos. Some people continued to move forward, while others turned back.

Crossbow arrows continued to fly from the crowd. Two knights protected Lv Shiren and retreated to the corner of the wall. The others, however, dismounted one by one and chased after the crossbow arrows.

"Someone wants to kill me!" Lv Shiren seemed to have lost his soul and kept muttering. The two knights were also in doubt. They used their bodies to block Lv Shiren. At this time, they had retreated to the corner of the wall. The crowd surged past them. Their companions could no longer be found at this moment.

There was a manure cart parked in the corner of the wall. The old man pulling the cart stared at the street with his eyes wide open, as if he was stunned.

"Get out of here!" A knight waved his scimitar at the old man.

The old man's body shook, as if he was finally scared back by the flashing knife light. He dragged the manure cart with both hands, "I'll get out of here right now, get out of here right now!"

At this time, the flow of people on the street had become sparse, and the headless body lying on the street could be vaguely seen. The man lowered his head and dragged the dung cart forward. It seemed that he was using too much force. The old man pulled hard and a handlebar fell off the dung cart.

The moment the handlebar fell off, the hunched old man suddenly straightened up, holding the handlebar tightly with both hands, shouted, and chopped down the knight in front of him. The other end of the handlebar flashed with cold light, and it turned out to be a machete.

The knight was caught off guard. Under the sound of the wind, his body tilted and he fell directly from the horse. He narrowly avoided the fatal chop. The old man seemed to have no strength left, and the knife in his hand still chopped down heavily. With a dull sound, the saddle of the knight's warhorse broke, and the big knife was deeply embedded in the back of the knife. The warhorse screamed wildly and rushed forward.

The knight landed and leaned forward, the scimitar in his hand had already deeply stabbed into the old man's body. Amid screams, the lids of the two dung buckets on the dung cart were suddenly pushed open, with a stench that filled the sky, and the whistling sound of arrows sounded again. At this moment, another knight had just cut his scimitar into the old man's neck, but the fatal attack came suddenly, and the knight who was still on the horse fell off the horse with a scream.

Two figures jumped up from the buckets, and the two knives, one on the left and one on the right, stabbed into Lu Shiren's abdomen at the same time, turned his wrists, and cut horizontally. Lu Shiren howled miserably and held the two knives tightly with his hands, looking at the two expressionless killers in despair.

The knight who killed the old man pulling manure turned around and saw the scene of Lv Shiren being stabbed twice. In shock and anger, he swung his knife fiercely and stabbed one of the men in the back. The man stiffened, his hand loosened, and let go of the knife that was inserted into Lv Shiren's abdomen. He retreated backwards with a roar and crashed into the knight's arms. He twisted the knight's head with both hands and pulled it hard. With a click, the knight's head tilted, and the two died almost at the same time.

The remaining killer looked at his fallen companion, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, let go of the knife and stepped back, looking at the fallen Lv Shiren, and said coldly: "Lv Shiren, the lady asked me to say hello to you."

The last killer had disappeared without a trace, and the scene in front of Lv Shiren, who was lying on the ground, was gradually blurred, and his life was leaving him bit by bit.

"Miss, that lady?" With endless questions, Lv Shiren's head tilted and died in the manure water on the ground. (To be continued...)
