C252 The Long Street Is Facing an Ambush
At some point in time, everyone stopped talking and just moved forward silently. At this moment, the sky was already dark and there was no one on the streets. Every family was closed and closed. It seemed to be unusually quiet, as if it was a ghost domain. The anger-inducing wind lamps hanging on both sides of the street were emitting a dim light. The dim and swaying lights lightly shone on the street, making it appear even more sinister and eerie, causing people to shiver in fear.
Wherever Du Qi and his group passed, faint and muffled footsteps mixed with a few breaths of heavy breathing broke the silence of the street. It brought a trace of life. Looh Miaoer suddenly said, "The important places in the capital are different. Why is there a street ban so early?"
In this quiet night, her voice was not loud. Everyone could not help but be shocked. After calming down, Xiang Dapeng said, "There are very few Forbidden Street in the capital. The current situation is indeed different from the past. Is there an accident that is about to happen? "
Yee Zhenbiao's voice was slightly trembling as he continued, "There are no traces of people in front and behind the long street. Some of the shops that were originally open at night are also closed. There are no lights at all. It is indeed a little strange."
Du Qi, who was steadily advancing, suddenly stopped. His gaze shot towards the darkness in the distance like a sharp arrow. Xiang Dapeng said in a panic, "What did young master discover?"
Looh Miaoer was the first to speak, "We were ambushed!"
Everyone turned pale with fright when they heard this. Yee Zhenbiao cried out involuntarily, "What?! Could it be that Zuo Santong? I didn't expect him to come so quickly!"
Looh Miaoer said, "The other side has a large number of people. There doesn't seem to be any special experts. It should be a group of soldiers. I wonder if they are coming for us?"
After a slight pause, Du Qi immediately moved forward and said at the same time, "There is no need to guess. Soong Qiancheng is in front. They are clearly coming for us."
Seeing that there was still no one around, Xiang Dapeng said with some luck, "The soldiers are not easy to deal with. Maybe they have not found us yet. Why don't we quickly retreat or find a place to hide?"
Looh Miaoer frowned and said with difficulty, "We are under their surveillance. We cannot retreat. We can't avoid them either. It would not be difficult for us to escape at all costs. The difficult thing is to not hurt those soldiers too much. Young master, how about I lure those soldiers away? "
Du Qi said," Soong Qiancheng's main target should be Miss Wen, followed by you, Miaoer. Even if you kill some soldiers and rush out, they will not easily abandon us to chase you alone. "
Looh Miaoer said," Then think of a way to catch Soong Qiancheng and force him to retreat. "
Du Qi said, "This is also not a bad idea. We will act according to the situation later. The worst situation was to break out of the encirclement by force. Miaoer and Miss Wen would take care of the two maids at that time. I will take care of Yuxiao. Sect Master, the four of you will follow me and Miaoer closely. Don't get separated! "
Looh Miaoer said, "Ms Xiaoya will take care of Yaoqin. I will take care of the other younger sister." As she spoke, Looh Miaoer suddenly took two steps back and pulled the other maid back to Du Qi's back without any explanation.
Du Qi had not finished his instructions when he suddenly increased his speed. He pointed to a small staircase more than fifty zhang in front of him and said, "Quick, let's go to the roof in front of us and hide. We will wait for the opportunity to break out of the encirclement!"
Before Du Qi could finish his words, a drum suddenly sounded and countless soldiers rushed out from both sides of the street. The first two rows were all shield-bearers with knives on their backs. A solid iron shield half the height of a man stood in front of them like a city wall. They could defend against long-range weapons such as hidden weapons, bows and arrows, and could also block the attack of the enemy. The third and fourth rows were archers. Each of them drew their bows and arrows and pointed forward, obviously wanting to shoot Du Qi and the others from a long distance. They could either stop Du Qi and the others from charging. The soldiers in the five or six rows held long spears in their hands, pointing their spears diagonally at the sky from the shoulders of the archers. They were the enemies who had rushed close to them. Even in a chaotic battle, they could provide strong protection to the archers. The majority of the soldiers behind them were swordsmen. They were obviously the main fighting force in the chaotic battle. There were also some unaffiliated people. They were the shield-bearers, archers, and spearmen who were going to be replaced by the shield-bearers, archers, and spearmen who were injured in the battle.
Thousands of soldiers marched in unison, releasing a series of shocking footsteps. Without saying a word, they rushed towards Du Qi and the others. At the same time, thousands of archers scuttled up from the roofs on both sides of the houses. Everyone held their breath and aimed their arrows at Du Qi and the others who were still in the middle of the street. It seemed that as long as they gave the order, they would shoot their arrows at Du Qi and the others without hesitation.
Being surrounded in the middle of the street, they could feel the imposing manner of the great army pressing down on them. As well as the terrifying atmosphere of being pointed at by thousands of arrows, Xiang Dapeng and the others were all frightened. They were terrified. Even Du Qi and Looh Miaoer could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. A weak feeling of being unable to resist the strong pressure of the other party welled up in their hearts.
Almost at the same time as the drum sounded, hundreds of torches were ignited at the same time. Soong Qiancheng hid in the shadows in the midst of the soldiers, illuminating his surroundings with a bright light. He shouted in a strange tone, "Stop, don't move! You bunch of ignorant people made me be reprimanded by the old man for no reason. Now that you are surrounded by me, let's see what else you have to say."
Du Qi saw that Soong Qiancheng did not immediately give the order to shoot the arrows and could not help heaving a sigh of relief. He immediately stopped and quickly said, "Go to the gang leader, the gang leader Fan, Sect Master Qin, the Yi Sect Master, Miss Wen and Yuxiao, protect the two girls and slowly move closer to the roof. Jiaojiao, pay attention to protecting everyone. Miaoer, we are going to catch the Song thieves!"
Du Qi and Soong Qiancheng's words almost fell at the same time. Du Qi sighed and said," General Song, you shouldn't have come. "
Soong Qiancheng smiled happily and said," Why should I not have come? Kid, you aren't worried about your own fate. Why are you saying such boring things? Haha!"
Du Qi said, "It's not that it's boring, but it has something to do with General Song!"
Soong Qiancheng was surprised." What do you mean? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Because General Song's visit this time is not only to give away General Song's future, but also his life! Miaoer, move!"
Du Qi's voice was soft and gentle at the beginning, and the faster it got, the louder his voice was. The word "move" was like a clap of thunder in the sky, shaking the soldiers on the roof street until they were stunned.
Before Du Qi finished speaking, Looh Miaoer had already floated to one side of the roof. Like a bolt of lightning, she rushed to where Soong Qiancheng was. Du Qi did not dare to be slow when he saw her. He drew a circle on the ground with both feet at the same time. He actually used the "Flying and Earth Shift" technique of the Immortal Dance. In a flash of light, she shot towards Soong Qiancheng from under the roof on the other side of the roof.
They were not far from where Soong Qiancheng was, but when they were talking, the soldiers did not stop moving forward. In this short distance, Du Qi actually arrived behind them. He threw a punch at a shield in front of him, as if he wanted to break into the soldiers' ranks from the ground.
