The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 24 [024] Jia Qiang killed the general in the middle of the night, and Captain Qiu ran to the palace
Gradually, twilight converges, and the setting sun fills the sky like blood.

Jia Qiang, Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da rushed to a remote alley behind the Juxian Inn before the sound of the evening drum, and hid behind a pile of firewood in the corner.

Since the assassination was done secretly, Jia Qiang and the other three covered their faces with black cloth.

Qiu Chen was worried about being discovered by Jia Qiang and the others, so he didn't dare to follow too closely, he only followed to the entrance of the alley and stopped.

In order to see Jia Qiang and the others' movements, Qiu Chen commanded the guards to climb to the top of a big locust tree, and secretly observe the movement in the alley through the gaps between the branches.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent.

Jia Qiang led Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da, climbed over the courtyard wall of Juxian Inn, and jumped into the courtyard lightly.

At this moment, the lights in the Juxian Inn were dark, and only the sound of snoring could be vaguely heard one after another.

At the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of the inn, there stood two Jurchens holding waist knives, who should be on guard.

Jia Qiang pointed to the Jurchen on the left, then to Liu Xianglian, then to the Jurchen on the right, and then to herself.

Liu Xianglian immediately understood and nodded slightly.

Jia Qiang and Liu Xianglian bent their backs, tiptoed to the back of the two Jurchens, covered each other's mouths, and then wrung each other's necks hard.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

After two soft bangs, the cervical vertebrae of the two Jurchens were forcibly broken, and they fell silently to the ground and died.

At this time, Jiao Da also followed.

Jia Qiang ordered him to guard the door, and if any Jurchens who slipped through the net wanted to escape, they would be shot to death.

"Brother Qiang, don't worry, none of them will try to escape!"

Jiao Da took the order, drew his sword and hid in the shadow by the door, preparing to cast a shadow.

Jia Qiang waved her hand towards the hall door, Liu Xianglian nodded, and the two rushed into the inn one after the other, and rushed up the stairs to the second floor.

While climbing the stairs, Jia Qiang had already taken off the spear on her back and untied the coarse cloth wrapped outside.

Liu Xianglian also drew her sword out of its sheath, holding the sword in both hands, ready to fight.

In the dark corridor, the sharp spear tip and sword blade shone with a murderous aura.

The corridor on the second floor was unguarded, so Jia Qiang went straight to the innermost room A.

He tried to push the door, but found that it was bolted from the inside.

Jia Qiang kicked the door without saying a word.

"boom!"

Facing Jia Qiang's brute force, the thick door panel was as fragile as paper, and it was easily kicked open by him.

"Who?" There was an exclamation in the room.

Through the hazy moonlight, Jia Qiang could vaguely see that there was a bed in the corner, and a person was lifting the quilt on the bed, trying to get up.

Jia Qiang rushed forward with a stride, and stabbed out with a single shot.

"laugh!"

"Ah! There are assassins"

The other party only had time to let out a scream, and then his whole body went limp and he was silent.

Jia Qiang drew out her spear, and the opponent's body fell under the bed.

"There are assassins, come quickly!" A shout suddenly sounded.

Jia Qiang followed the prestige and found that there was another compartment next to it.

As soon as he rushed to the door of the compartment, he saw a cold light rushing from the dark door.

It was a big knife with a cold light!

From top to bottom, strike hard!
Jia Qiang raised her gun to block it.

"Clang!" There was a crisp sound.

The opponent was shocked back several steps, but Jia Qiang didn't move at all.

Suddenly, the eyes suddenly brightened.

It turned out that the candle in the partition was lit.

Under the light of flickering yellow candles, Jia Qiang found that there were three people in the partition.

Two of them held ring-headed broadswords and guarded a middle-aged man holding a saber-chopping knife behind him.

"Are you Murhazi?" Jia Qiang asked straight to the point.

The middle-aged man did not answer, but asked instead: "Who are you?"

"The man who came to kill you!"

Jia Qiang twisted her arms, shaking a gun flower, twisting the tip of the gun left and right, and transformed into two gun tips, stabbing at the two guards with knives in front respectively.

The two guards hurriedly raised their knife holders to block them.

Accompanied by the sound of two crisp metal collisions, the two guards were shaken back several steps before stabilizing their heels.

But Jia Qiang remained motionless, as stable as Mount Tai.

However, just when his moves were old and he was about to withdraw his gun and stab again,
Murhazi suddenly yelled, swung a saber, from top to bottom, slanted shoulders and hips, and slashed towards Jia Qiang's side neck!

Jia Qiang was not in a hurry, and just about to raise her gun to block, she saw a figure rushing out from her side.

"Clang!" There was a crisp sound.

The figure was shocked back three steps.

Jia Qiang took a closer look, and it turned out that Liu Xianglian crossed her swords and helped him block the opponent's knife.

But he was knocked back by the opponent's powerful brute force.

On the other hand, Murhazi only took half a step back.

It can be seen from this that Murhazi's power is still above Liu Xianglian!
It can be called a fierce general with amazing physical strength!

Murhazi swung his knife and slashed again.

This knife is from left to right, cutting horizontally, trying to cut Liu Xianglian and Jia Qiang in half at the same time.

The blade roared with a murderous aura, Jia Qiang swung his gun and swept across without fear.

Accompanied by the clanging sound of gold and iron, Murhazi was so shaken that he spun around on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

He felt his tiger's mouth tingle, and he almost couldn't hold the trembling handle of the knife.

"What a lot of strength!"

Murhazi gasped in surprise.

You know, the saber in his hand is made of fine steel and weighs 63 kilograms.

Murhazi's face changed drastically. Although he only fought for one round, he already felt that the opponent's long spear was heavier than his own saber.

Although he did not dare to claim to be the number one general under Nurhachi, but among the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou, his martial arts definitely ranked among the top ten.

However, compared with the Han man in front of him, he was far behind.

The two Jurchen guards were also shocked. They knew that Murhazi was superb in martial arts and rarely met an opponent, but they didn't expect that they were staggered by this Han man.

The difference in strength between the two sides is a judgment!

At this moment, a group of Jurchens rushed in from outside the door.

"Let's go together! Kill them!"

Following Murhazi's order, these Jurchens brandished all kinds of weapons and surrounded and killed them.

Liu Xianglian brandished her double swords and tried her best to block their attack.

Jia Qiang was full of energy, and the long spear shot straight at Murhazi's heart like a dragon coming out of the water.

The two guards waved their knives together to block.

Just when the weapons of the two sides were about to collide, Jia Qiang suddenly changed her move, and the spear swung left and right like a dragon wagging its tail.

Accompanied by two screams, the two guards were hit in the head with the tip of the gun, their skulls burst, and they fell to the ground and died.

Murhazi was frightened and slashed at him with his knife.

Facing the sharp blade, Jia Qiang did not dodge or dodge, and lunged straight, a little cold light came first, and then the spear came out like a dragon.

"laugh!"

The tip of the gun pierced Murhazi's throat directly.

Murhazi stared wide-eyed in horror, his gradually dilated pupils were full of disbelief,
To the end of his life, he could not believe that, as the top ten Jurchen generals in Jianzhou, he would be killed instantly by Jia Qiang.

The rest of the Jurchens exclaimed in surprise and anger. They couldn't believe that Murhazi, who was so brave, died like this.

What is the background of this Han man with a gun?
The combat power is so terrifying!
They estimated that it would be difficult to find a master who could match them from all the Jurchen tribes.

"Revenge for the second Patriarch!"

With a shout, more than a dozen Jurchens rushed forward and besieged Jia Qiang and Liu Xianglian desperately.

Although these Jurchens were extremely brave, they were no match for Jia Qiang and Liu Xianglian, and they were all wiped out in less than half a cup of tea.

The clash of weapons and shouts of killing awakened the innkeeper and tenants sleeping on the first floor.

They all hid in their own rooms and tied the doors and windows, trembling with fear and daring not to say anything.

In order to prevent being bumped into by watchmen and officers and soldiers who were watching the night, Jia Qiang led Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da to evacuate quickly under the cover of night after killing all the Jurchens.

After the three of them left, Qiu Chen immediately led four secret guards into the Juxian Inn.

When he saw the dead bodies at the door and on the second floor, Qiu Chen was shocked, and immediately ordered the hidden guards to search for the identities of these dead.

After interrogating the innkeeper, Qiu Chen was shocked. He did not expect that Murhazi was among the people killed by Jia Qiang and the others.

As the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Qiu Chen is familiar with the archives of civil and military officials, and naturally knows the identity of Murhazi.

Although Murhazi was not an official of the Ming Dynasty, he was the second brother of Nurhachi, the second-rank dragon and tiger general, and was awarded the title of "Batulu" by Nurhachi.

"Batulu" translated from Chinese means "warrior".

It can be seen how important Murhazi is in Nurhachi's mind.

However, Jia Qiang actually killed him?
This really ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!

As the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Chen should have directly arrested Jia Qiang and the other three.

But he was ordered by the emperor to protect Jia Qiang, so naturally he couldn't make his own claim.

Qiu Chen left two people to continue to follow Jia Qiang, while he rushed to Daming Palace to meet the emperor and report the matter.
