Chapter 359 Chaos at night
In a narrow alley.
A suspicious-looking man was running with a bow and arrow. His breathing was rapid and his back was soaked with sweat.
Suddenly, Qin Yi''s figure jumped down from the roof.
A fierce fight broke out with the man.
Between the light and shadow of the sword, the sound of metal clashing was crisp and rapid. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and every time the blade penetrated the flesh, it made people tremble with fear.
The footsteps of officers and soldiers came from the alley.
The fear in the man''s eyes turned into determination. The dagger in his hand suddenly turned around and stabbed into his heart, killing himself.
Qin Yi''s attempt to capture him alive failed.
Before the officers and soldiers arrived, they had no choice but to leave this place.
"The thief is here?"
"Eh, dead? Suicide?"
"No, there are signs of fighting here... The hero who stopped the thief is gone."
Officers and soldiers investigated the scene and came to a conclusion.
Someone was called to take away the body, and a group of officers and soldiers left quickly.
At this time, Qin Chi avoided an assassination and bent down to pick up a long arrow. His eyes fell on the arrow and he noticed something abnormal under the light of the fire.
"Sir, this arrow is poisonous." Qin Ba said with lingering fear.
Qin Chi handed the long arrow to Chen Qianhu next to him, "Come and take a look at this arrow. Do you find anything? This level of precision is no worse than those used by the army."
Chen Qianhu immediately asked someone to put it away, "Did you think who would want to kill you?"
"Few of the people I''ve offended before dared to assassinate me in front of the Jin Yiwei. You tell me, it''s obvious that we did it together, why are you staring at me alone? Does it mean that I''m a soft persimmon?" Qin Chi asked. Cha Ming said that the person who came to kill him was the master behind the secret passage.
Chen Qianhu was speechless for a moment, "If it''s as you guessed, tonight''s event will be bigger than we both expected."
He may not be able to hold it anymore!
In this case, how dare you assassinate their people? What does this mean? It shows that people still have some energy left.
Chen Qianhu suddenly felt that he was being used by Qin Chi, but he couldn''t do anything to him. After all, Qin Chi had made it clear from the beginning that this was an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.
If there is an opportunity, there must be a risk.
Chen Qianhu didn''t expect this risk. It was much greater than he expected. Before he could clear his mind, a fire broke out in the street next door!
This is definitely no small thing.
The streets are densely packed with shops.
A fire in one house is likely to spread to neighboring shops.
Qin Chi looked at the thick smoke billowing not far away, and keenly sensed something was wrong, "The smoke is rising too fast, Chen Qianhu, could it be that the other party is trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"
"We are the closest to the fire. If we don''t rescue people, you and I can''t bear the blame." Chen Qianhu was extremely irritated. Not many thieves in Dongcheng have been caught yet, and something happened elsewhere.
Qin Chi pointed in two other directions.
The smoke also rose, confirming Qin Chi''s guess.
"We can''t deal with this anymore, please report it to the commander immediately." Qin Chi sincerely gave Chen Qianhu advice.
Chen Qianhu gave Qin Chi a complicated look, "Why are you just staring at me to cause trouble? I guess I haven''t offended you."
"Whatever you say to be depressing, if you do it well, you will be rich and wealthy." Qin Chi smiled calmly, with a gentle look on his face.
Chen Qianhu reported quickly. What''s more, Dongcheng''s actions tonight were not small, and many people above noticed it, including the commander of the Jinyi Guards, who had received the news in advance. However, Chen Qianhu was his confidant and knew that he happened to run into Qin Chi from Dali Temple, so he still Several spies were arrested and three strongholds were found. During the investigation, it was discovered that these strongholds were not simple. A batch of weapons and imperial contraband were found.
The commander''s attention was here and he slightly ignored the matters in Dongcheng District.
Suddenly, news came from Chen Qianhu''s side that he had stabbed a big trap. He asked for reinforcements and immediately took people over to check.
Qin Chi didn''t agree with Jin Yiwei''s style of doing things, but he agreed with the speed of their work.
Not a moment later, a group of royal guards came menacingly on horseback.
Until the opponent came closer, the person in front was the commander of the Jin Yiwei. Qin Chi was not a stranger to him and waved to him with a smile, but the commander of the Jinyi Guards'' teeth turned sour when he saw Qin Chi.
Experience told him that when Qin Qi''an was around, someone would be in bad luck.
"Master Qin."
The conductor dismounted his horse neatly and took the lead in greeting Qin Chi.
Qin Chi casually raised his hands as a courtesy, "The commander came faster than I expected."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"No, I heard that you made a big mistake, and you were assassinated before the matter was over. Be careful when you go out in the future." The commander said sarcastically with an expressionless face.
Qin Chi was thick-skinned and said he didn''t care.
Tonight''s affairs will be taken over by Jinyiwei, so Dali Temple will at best be a supporter. Qin Chi has played the initial role, achieved his goal, and can retire with success.
About an hour later, Qin Chi got on the carriage and asked a group of people to protect him back home.
Without protection, Qin Chi was assassinated twice more within half an hour.
Once I was supposed to go to a place close to a fire. Someone disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and suddenly stabbed Qin Chi with a dagger.
Qin Ba, who was following him, kicked the murderer away. The officers and soldiers went up to capture him, and the murderer committed suicide by taking poison on the spot.
Another time, a Jinyi guard came over and said that Chen Qianhu was looking for Qin Chi for something. When he got close to Qin Chi, he fiercely drew his sword and chopped at his head. Fortunately, Qin Chi reacted in time and narrowly avoided fatal injuries, but his arm was still chopped.
Then Lao Huo and the Jin Yiwei fought.
After attracting others, when the Jin Yiwei saw that his mission had failed, he immediately committed suicide by taking poison. It was a poison that sealed his throat with blood and did not give anyone a chance to react.
This incident made the Jinyiwei Commander''s face look bad. This time he could not avoid the crime of dereliction of duty.
What''s the reason?
He brought that Jin Yiwei.
"Master Qin, it''s no longer safe for you here. Why don''t you go back home and rest early?" the commander suggested sincerely.
Qin Chi smiled and said, "Then it''s all about the hard work here."
"This is a matter of my duty. When this matter is settled, I will send generous gifts to my house to make amends." Logically speaking, the commander of the Jinyi Guards is a rank higher than Qin Chi, the young minister of Dali Temple, but he doesn''t know why. Qin Chi was short of breath.
This style is very unlike a cold-blooded leader of the Imperial Guard.
Perhaps Qin Chi''s ability to escape unharmed from the fight between the Yang and Yuan families really shocked some discerning people. I don’t say whether there is someone behind Qin Chi, but his luck is really good.
He had a feeling.
He would not get any favors from Qin Chi.
So, after Qin Chi bandaged his arm injury, he arranged for a team of people to **** him back home.
As for the three fires in the city.
It is actually a means of feasting in Jiangnan.
After the officers and soldiers besieging Dongcheng sent half of them to put out the fire, some people fled and clashed at each checkpoint. It is unknown how many people escaped in the chaos.
