Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2737 Run away

The bright horizontal knife cut across the rain curtain, and the blade reflected the faint light of the lantern, which actually had a bit of dazzling beauty...

Fang Jun didn't have time to think about why such a feeling appeared in his mind, he used all his strength, and when the blade touched his body, he made a sudden force, and the whole person jumped up and jumped to the left, barely avoiding the blade, but he lost his center of gravity. fell to the ground.

More than a dozen pairs of military boots stepped on the muddy ground, splashed fine rainwater slurry, and quickly chased Fang Jun who fell to the ground.

Fang Jun didn't have time to get up, let alone draw out the horizontal knife at his waist to fight back, so he could only roll on the ground... and then... more than a dozen rolls in a row until he was dizzy and couldn't distinguish anything. There was the sound of steel knives clinking on the ground.

Faced with the unexpected assassination, Fang Jun not only didn't panic too much, but his mind was calm and clear like never before.

He didn't have time to figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes was, he only knew that if he couldn't escape from birth, next year this time would be his memorial day!
Regardless of the pain in his ribs, this series of lazy donkeys rolled to avoid a mess of knives. Fang Jun stood up as soon as he stepped on the ground, and ran in the opposite direction of these guards without caring about the direction. .

Shen Wei's suppressed roar came from behind: "Catch him, kill him, don't let him escape!"

More than a dozen imperial guards and county soldiers frantically pursued him with their knives in hand.

Fang Jun ran forward desperately, adjusted his breathing, and wanted to run faster, but the light rain caused a lot of water on the ground, and this place escaped the range of the road, the ground was full of mud, and his feet suddenly It slipped, staggered, and almost fell to the floor.

Adjust the center of gravity quickly, but with this delay, the pursuers behind have already caught up.

No matter how brave he is, he is only a body of flesh and blood, and he will never be lucky to be surrounded by more than a dozen heavily armed burly men.

Just as despair arose in my heart, there was a faint sound of gurgling water suddenly coming from the front door.

Surviving a desperate situation, Fang Jun was overjoyed immediately, and with all his strength ran forward for a dozen steps, he saw a dark river, no longer thinking about it, adjusted his steps and moved forward, and jumped suddenly when he reached the river. While still in the air, he took a deep breath, and the next moment he jumped into the cold river with a "plop".

As soon as he entered the water, Fang Jun plunged into the bottom of the river, touched the fine sand at the bottom of the river, chose a direction along the bottom of the river, and swam with all his might.

The pursuers came close and jumped into the river one after another. Some searched around the surface of the water, and some dived to explore the bottom of the water. When Shen Wei rushed to the river with his face covered, he saw a soldier peeping out of the water. Annoyed, he hurriedly asked, "Did you catch it?"

The soldier shook his head, Shen Wei said angrily: "Search! Search me inch by inch, he has injuries, he can't escape far!"

Watching the soldiers dive and search again, Shen Wei covered his eyes that were in severe pain, his drenched clothes couldn't hide the chill, and his whole body trembled with fear.

Everything is perfect. Chang'an captured the family of Princess Changle's personal maid and forced her to betray Princess Changle to lure Fang Jun into the manor at night, and used the excuse of defense to make Fang Jun enter alone. Even so, he was still worried. After all, the opponent may be a fierce general who is known as the champion of the three armies, and if he misses, the consequences will be disastrous.

Facts have proved that his worries are justified. Although Fang Jun entered the manor alone, it can be seen from his expression and steps that he is always on guard. As long as he dares to do it himself, it is difficult to subdue him or even kill him silently. .

So he designed a strict trap, and set his hands on Fang Jun the moment he entered the manor.

You can guard against me, but you can't guard against the loyal and brave Beiya Imperial Army, right?

Sure enough, the moment Fang Jun entered the manor guarded by the imperial guards, Fang Jun let go of his guard, and Shen Wei made a decisive decision and shot immediately.

It's just that he still didn't expect that under such circumstances, Fang Jun still narrowly avoided the knife he stabbed in his lower back. The blade only stabbed his ribs and failed to keep him here.

Not only did he kill the leader of the guards who were cooperating inside and outside with a musket, but he also threw a musket backhand and seriously injured his face.

The reaction is too fast!
Now that Fang Jun has escaped into the river, there is no trace of him at all, and it is even more impossible to mobilize troops and horses to search vigorously. Shen Wei hardly dares to imagine what consequences he will face once Fang Jun escapes.

The Wu family in Laizhou, the Gu family in Jiangdong, the Yuan family in Guanzhong... all the bloody lessons were laid out there. Once Fang Jun went crazy, it would take almost no effort for the Royal Navy to break through the Wu Xing Shen family.

He finally felt terrified, and a deep regret came to his heart, even though the rain in the sky was getting heavier, it couldn't quell the fear in his heart.

Why did I lose my head, agree to the conditions of those people, and assassinate Fang Jun?

Not to mention that after the failure at this moment, it is like the sky falling apart, even if the assassination succeeds and puts Fang Jun to death, can he have a good end?
Everyone in the world knows how Fang Jun is favored in front of His Majesty the Emperor, not to mention that the Crown Prince leans on him as his arm. Everyone regards him as the commander...

Such a big man with unparalleled influence in the military and politics died in his hands, how could he have a good result?

It's really lard!

It's just that I can't take care of that right now, and my own fate will be extremely miserable. If Fang Jun can be killed, maybe those people in Guanzhong can retain some credibility, remember their own merits, and keep their clan and family...

"Search! Even if I turn over the whole river, I still have to find him!"

Shen Wei's eyes were red, and he stood by the river and yelled frantically to resist the boundless fear.

*****
The river was icy cold.

Jiangnan in early winter may not be as cold as in the north, but it is definitely not as warm as it feels. Once you enter the water, you can feel the coldness of Jiangnan in winter.

Holding his breath, Fang Jun swam vigorously along the bottom of the river in one direction. After swimming for a stick of incense in one breath, the air in his lungs could no longer support his normal physical needs. Mouth river water, but did not dare to surface to take a breath.

He knew that the enemy would definitely stand and search, but he didn't know how much troops the enemy could invest. Once there were too many troops, it would be enough to cover the area within a few hundred steps on both sides of the river, and nothing would be missed. As long as he was caught Once found, there is absolutely no chance of escape.

Relying on tenacious perseverance, I swam for another half a stick of incense, and finally couldn't hold on anymore. I fumbled at the bottom of the river and swam to the river bank. When I got to the bank, I didn't dare to show my head rashly. I raised my head and got close to it little by little. Then he touched the fine sand on the bank of the river with his hand and touched a clump of weeds, then slowly raised his head to the surface of the water, trying not to produce the slightest water ripple.

Fortunately, the place he chose happened to have a lush weed, an unknown weed with broad leaves, luxuriantly covering the land by the river bank. Look closely, it's almost imperceptible.

Expelling the stale air in the lung lobes and inhaling fresh air, Fang Jun breathed heavily while concentrating on observing the nearby terrain.

I am very good at water, but it is impossible to swim too far in such a short time. Besides, I was going upstream just now, and the distance from the main entrance of the manor is only about a hundred and ten feet away, not more than one mile.

In other words, the Xu Family Manor is on the shore at this moment...

There was a faint whistle and noise in the distance, presumably the pursuers were not far away from him, Fang Jun thought for a while, and felt that the chance of escaping was not high if he continued to swim along the river.Because if it's just Shen Wei, that's all. No matter how powerful the Wu Xing Shen family is, they don't dare to mobilize too many people to encircle and suppress him, but those royal guards also participated in the assassination of him just now, which is troublesome.

It is unrealistic for all the royal guards to turn against each other, but who knows how many of them have been bribed by the Guanlong nobles?In case one hundred or ten of them communicated secretly with the Guanlong nobles and vowed to put themselves to death, then he would definitely not be able to escape far.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Jun made a decisive decision, stood up from the river, climbed onto the bank, endured the severe pain in his ribs to identify the direction, and ran towards a row of dark buildings not far away.

He was just worried that he didn't know how many of the imperial guards had been bribed. If the enemy and the enemy were unknown, once he was discovered and happened to meet the bribed guards, his life would be over...

But because of this, he believed that Shen Wei and the others would never have imagined that he would have acted contrary to common sense, and instead of escaping on a rainy night, he sneaked back to the Xu Family Manor.

The most dangerous place is often the safest place.
