Chapter 1287 Ning Ji (Part )
Fireworks have been set off in the distance to warn people, but in Yinan Village, the sound of fighting is still spreading.
In the courtyard, Chen Yan protected Chen Shuangran and directed everyone to flee downstairs. He heard the news from outside. The killer who chopped Fan Zhong into pieces and more than 70 people failed to surround him jumped off the roof and broke through along the road of the abandoned village. Chen Shuangran fell down when he went downstairs. After getting up, he saw the message in the distance and was slightly stunned.
"He is a government official. He is really a government official—"
"Let's go——" Chen Yan didn't care about these.
"How could Lord Fan..."
Chen Shuangran was still in shock. She hadn't even figured out how Fan Zhong died when there was a burst of dust and explosion outside. She also couldn't figure out how the young man could rush around and mess up the outside when surrounded by more than 70 people.
"Let's go——" Someone carried her on his back and ran.
In the village behind, the die-hard rebel team still had some desperate criminals. A group of people crossed the broken country road and tried to intercept the young man at the intersection, but they did not have enough time to deploy defenses. As soon as they met, several people threw stones, knives and guns, and some threw lime powder, but it was ineffective from a distance. Grenades were thrown from the opposite side, and everyone dodged. Two people were squeezed into the ditch on the side of the road in a hurry, and the grenade fell between their legs.
boom--
The wall next to it also collapsed.
Someone from a high place threw a fishing net. The young man moved and stabbed the other person down with a knife.
There were only a few people left on the ambush site - most of them were Pu Xingui's men. The little killer's target had obviously turned to Chen Shuangran, but these people were not obliged to rescue him. They waited for Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong's decision, but Pu Xingui stared at the fireworks in the distance and was stunned for a while.
"He, he is indeed a ghost—"
This fact proved that his decision was correct. Qian Dingzhong came over and said, "Then it's time to go."
The warning circle Fan Zhong set up was far away. Even if the government came from all directions, everyone would have enough time to retreat according to the plan. They would even have time to kill the government spies they surrounded. This was originally an arrangement to clean up the internal situation and to show the government a warning before the big action.
Pu Xingui looked around and saw the Fish King and several of his disciples not far away. The two looked at each other and the Fish King said fiercely: "Men, draw your swords!" Several people were surrounded before and dared not move their weapons. Now they drew out their weapons with clangs. Several men who had been beaten by Ning Ji were so excited that their blood boiled. Even Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong were not afraid anymore.
Pu Xinggui gnashed his teeth. At this moment, he was too disdainful to kill these people. He just pointed at the fireworks in the distance and jumped up and down: "Lao Gao, look! Look over there! Sun Wukong is a spy for the government - he is a ghost -"
"Uh..." Yu Wang and the others didn't know the meaning of the message. At this time, a disciple stepped out with a knife in his hand: "You are the ones who say both human and false things. Now you are slandering others' innocence at will. What evidence do you have?"
"Fuck..." Pu Xinggui didn't have time to take advantage of the dead ghost Fan Zhong's arrangement. Just for the sake of face, he pointed over there and shouted, "The government's people are coming to kill us. If he wasn't a government spy, he wouldn't be able to come so quickly--"
"With the fighting here like this, of course someone will come. Pu, we have seen you clearly today. If you have the guts, kill us all here..."
"Fuck..." Pu Xinggui waved his hand. With his status and position, it would be wrong for him to argue with the minions. He turned around and directed everyone to escape along the established route with Qian Dingzhong. Qian Dingzhong looked at them and bowed: "The mountains remain unchanged and the rivers flow forever. See you again in the future."
The Fish King and the people around him watched the group of outlaws flee from here, and then looked at the news and movements behind them. One of the disciples shouted: "Even if Young Master Sun is a government official - we never thought of rebelling!"
The fish king nodded. Anyway, he and Young Master Sun—who might be Great Master Sun now—were in the same group. He didn't need to be afraid of anyone who came as a companion. But he was afraid that Young Master Sun was not a government official, so he took a few disciples and retreated to a distant place to hide.
……
Constables and soldiers came from all directions, not just one team, but the first to arrive was Yue Yun, who was an excellent martial artist. After learning the news, he understood the seriousness of the situation, and with his extraordinary identity, he dealt with the two spies on the periphery. He was discovered by Chen Shuangran's forces halfway through his journey, so he bought some time. However, when he arrived at Yinan Village, traces of fighting had already spread all the way to the woods north of the village.
The road was filled with outlaws who were seriously injured or died tragically.
He caught a few wounded soldiers who did not have time to escape, and prepared to torture them with his fists as big as casseroles: "Where did they escape to! Where did you catch him! Is that guy dead?" But perhaps the other party was a little incoherent, or perhaps he asked the wrong question, and the other party just pointed in the direction of the north and told him to go there.
"Shit." Yue Yun was extremely anxious.
In his imagination, the bad boy was ambushed by so many people, if not dead, he would be seriously injured, but his will to survive was commendable, he was able to escape all the way with blood and bravery, and killed so many people one after another - this might be because the spy arranged by Mr. Cheng among the other party had been exposed, and several people escaped together. Looking at this scene, the people who were chased were so tragic, and the people who escaped must not feel good either.
The road to the forest was covered with blood. In the forest, there was a man sitting on the ground with a broken leg. Although he was only stabbed once, the blood was flowing all over the ground and could not be stopped. His pale face was about to cry. Yue Yun cursed in his heart that it was what he deserved. He didn't have time to deal with these people now. He moved forward along the traces of the fight.
Deep in the woods, next to a big tree, someone was panting heavily.
Yue Yun felt that the man was short and familiar at first sight. When he looked at him for the second time, he only heard the panting sound become lighter. He dodged and rushed over, with the chain hammer in his hand. When he got closer, he saw Ning Ji sitting cross-legged, regulating his breathing, with bloodstains on his body, and opened his eyes to look at him.
"Come out! Don't go--" Yue Yun held the two hammers and shouted around, and the sound spread in all directions.
Ning Ji looked up at him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and at this time the pain in his body came up. He reached out and pressed a wound on his left shoulder.
Yue Yun looked around alertly for a while before raising his hand towards Ning Ji: "It's okay, they should all be gone, are you okay?"
"What do you mean, are you okay? What... Look, I've finished my work and am regulating my breathing. I'm calm..."
"They probably ran away when they saw me coming. Humph, a bunch of bullies who only care about the weak and the strong—"
"what--"
"Don't be afraid, the rest are coming—"
"what--"
Ning Ji yelled, his mouth opened wider than Yue Yun's head. He propped himself up with his hands and staggered to his feet: "Yue Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm afraid of them. They ran... I chased them all the way here--"
"Okay, sit down. I know you're awesome. I was so scared when I heard the news. You were surrounded by so many people, but you were able to escape all the way here and..."
"What are you running away from! What are you surrounding me with! What can they do to surround me? It's me, I'm chasing them! I'm slicing through the trees all the way to here—"
"Fortunately, Mr. Cheng responded promptly and made a decision, you know..."
"Me! Fan Zhong and the others want to kill me, but I have grenades... Don't you see the dead bodies over there? How can they surround them? What are they using?... I have grenades... I kill people without blinking an eye -"
"I see, I see. Don't get excited. Sit down. Look at your injuries—"
"What injuries? They are all minor injuries. There was also a grenade explosion. It would always be a little... This is not the point..."
"I know, I know. Don't... sit down. You don't have any strength left..."
"What do you mean I have no strength!"
Ning Ji threw a punch and Yue Yun blocked it.
"look."
"I did kill so many people, of course I am a little tired... The point is, I have grenades, I have been trained... They can't surround me, I am invincible today, I killed all the way here, I am invincible-"
"I know, I know. You are surrounded by hundreds of people—"
"What do you mean hundreds? It's several hundred—"
"I'll go see if there's anyone else around who wants to make a comeback..."
"Fuck you...you don't believe me..."
The two of them spoke more intensively than firecrackers, and after a while of crackling, Ning Ji was almost irritated to the point of having a brain hemorrhage. He had just experienced one of the most critical moments in his life, dealing with and chasing after the enemy, and overwhelming the entire Fujian martial arts world. Who knew that Yue Yun came out and said that the enemy was scared away by him? How could he bear this? However, after such a fight, even the best physical strength had reached its limit. He argued for a while but couldn't get into the other party's head, so he sat down again and began to sort out and bandage the wounds on his body.
Yue Yun took an inspection and came back dragging two bloody wounded soldiers and threw them far away. Then he came over to bandage Ning Ji's body and took credit for it: "I also caught two people. They wanted to escape and were crawling slowly. They were crying..." Ning Ji knew that the tendons of the two men's legs had been cut by him and they could not escape at all. He took a long, deep breath.
"I just realized today that my martial arts skills have improved. Most of the time, the flaws of these people are really simple, and I can easily solve them with just one slash of my sword. My reaction has also become faster..." Ning Ji tried his best to share his gains with Yue Yun calmly.
Yue Yun nodded: "People can unleash their potential when they are between life and death. You are in such danger today!"
"Fuck you——"
"Look, I'm bandaging your wound, but you insist on calling me uncle. I don't understand. I'm the first one who worked so hard to save you... But I'm not only good at martial arts, I'm also more educated than you. I won't argue with a kid like you today."
"Hehe, the news will spread soon. I am already invincible!"
"...That's because Sun Wukong is invincible. In the outside world, it is said that the four-foot-tall demon Sun Wukong is a bald little monk..."
"Uh...well..."
Ning Ji put his hands on his hips and frowned. After a while, he put his hands down and put them on again. His expression changed between seriousness, distress, fear, embarrassment, etc., and finally it almost turned the color of liver. He opened his mouth several times, but could not utter a word.
"Oh, I was just kidding..." Yue Yun didn't realize how serious this matter was. He waved his hands and innocently tried to smooth things over: "Hahaha."
When the bandage was almost done, Ning Ji was already a little wilted. At this time, the noise in the distance gradually approached. Ning Ji calmed down and raised his head to ask: "By the way, how come you all came here..."
"Cheng Zhouhai said that you were tricked by Pu Xinggui and the black-skinned witch, and Miss Qu cried and shouted to save you, so I came..."
"Ah...what are you crying and shouting about..."
"Well, it's like this. Mr. Cheng received the news that you were trapped and ambushed, but if he takes action, he will alert the enemy. If he doesn't take action, you will be in danger of death. So he let your Xiaolong make the decision. Miss Qu shouted on the city wall: I don't care about your overall situation, get everyone out, so I came..."
"what……"
Ning Ji didn't quite understand, but the first group of soldiers had already arrived outside the grove. Ning Ji heard Qu Longjun crying, "Xiaolong - Xiaolong -" He walked out with Yue Yun and saw Qu Longjun running towards him. When she got close, she restrained herself from hugging him. She held his hand and looked him up and down. Ning Ji saw that there were no tears on her face, but the crying tone was suppressed at the bottom of her voice, "You, are you okay..."
"I'm fine. I was well prepared. I almost caught Xiao Heipi." He saw Cheng Zhouhai had already come close on his horse. Yue Yun came over and greeted everyone generously, and reported: "It's okay. I arrived in time. I scared the witch's people away. I don't know if I can catch up with them."
With Qu Longjun in front of him, Ning Ji regained his composure and was too lazy to scold. He asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Mr. Cheng said that you were ambushed, but if you take action, you will alert the enemy. If you don't take action, it will be very dangerous. He asked me to make the decision, so I asked everyone to come. They said that Chen Shuangran gathered a lot of experts this time."
“Tsk, a mob, useless.” Ning Ji said disdainfully, “I saw at the first moment that there were no traps set up around us. With more than a hundred people rushing over here, I thought I had no way out. In fact, the most favorite people on the battlefield are idiots like this. I fired the first shot at Fan Zhong, and then bombed them so hard that they lost their way. I used the fast to defeat the slow. These untrained people couldn’t surround me at all… The body of Fan Zhong, the Golden Eyed Thousand Feathers, is still in the village with his eyes open…”
"Fan Zhong is dead?" Cheng Zhouhai came closer and heard this and was the first to confirm it.
"Well, he was the first one to be killed. He should still be hugging someone in the village."
"...Hug each other? Why?" Cheng Zhouhai felt confused.
"His leg is broken..." Ning Ji gestured as if it was a matter of course, "His arm is broken, his leg is broken, someone wanted to save him, and just like that... well, they died together..."
"Seal off the village and quickly confirm the incident. Also, capture all the survivors and treat them as soon as possible." Cheng Zhouhai gave orders to the people around him, and then said to Ning Ji, "Tell me what happened."
Ning Ji then told the whole story in detail. Cheng Zhouhai listened quietly, and Yue Yun also listened. At first, he seemed to be listening to Arabian Nights, and then his brows gradually frowned: "Are you serious?"
"If I hadn't been exhausted from killing so many people, I would have really wanted to kill you too. I've already said that I'm invincible, okay..." Ning Ji jumped up, put his hands on his hips, and then said, "It must be that today is a particularly lucky day for me. Zhou Zhe is blessing me in heaven, and do you know that my name is... um, my name is... forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you... you're uneducated..."
"..."
Yue Yun looked at him with uncertain eyes. When Ning Ji's expression gradually became arrogant and abnormal, he pointed to the grove in front and said, "If I were here today, the black-skinned witch would have died."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
It's so frustrating. There's nothing interesting here today.
"That's how it is." Ning Ji summed up with Cheng Zhouhai, "I am invincible in the world."
Cheng Zhouhai nodded, with no expression on his face. He then said, "You are indeed invincible, but it will be useless now. Stay in the princess's mansion for the next few days and have a good rest. I will take care of Chen Shuangran's affairs."
"...What? You're going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
"It has nothing to do with me. Sun Wukong's identity as a government spy has been exposed. Chen Shuangran and Pu Xingui can no longer contact you. Your previous actions have ended. We also have people to take care of the rest of the fighting and killing."
"……what?"
"This is Miss Qu's decision, you can't blame me." Cheng Zhouhai smiled, "Besides, you are lucky to have a confidante like Miss Qu who is devoted to you, you should cherish her - you can go back now."
Ning Ji turned his head to look at Qu Longjun, who was tugging at his sleeve with a complicated look in his eyes, and whispered, "He is plotting against us."
"Cheng Zhouhai, you are trying to trick us—" Ning Ji took a step forward and shouted, "Don't you see that I am already invincible in the world? How dare you trick me like this!"
Cheng Zhouhai turned around and looked at the two of them. After a moment, he said, "Your wife's life is in my hands. Why do you dare to talk to me like this?"
"Uh……"
Ning Ji took a step back. He looked at Qu Longjun and actually blushed a little because of the word "wife" in his words, but in order to cover it up, he just muttered: "Forget it, I won't bother with you today."
"thank you."
Cheng Zhouhai left.
……
It was past noon, and the heat wave still enveloped the earth. The yamen runners and soldiers surrounded Yinan Village and began to clean up and check the traces of the internal fighting. They saw Fan Zhong's body and the bodies of more murderers on the wanted list. In the distance, someone was looking at this place in the wilderness. Not long after, the news about this battle began to spread back to Fuzhou City, to the Ministry of Justice, to the Princess's Mansion, and to the Imperial City.
Everyone was shocked.
Soon, many people drove carriages towards this place one after another. They were doctors, coroners, experts kept by the court, the very arrogant emperor and the princess whose mood was hard to tell. Until night, there were bits and pieces of light illuminating this place...
I guess I won’t be able to write it tomorrow, because I have a book signing at the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair this afternoon and I don’t have time to write the next chapter.
