Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 6, Whirlwind Rescue? (end)

Hearing this, Jiang Tian had already let go of the bowstring in his hand without hesitation, and with a slight buzzing sound, Miscellaneous Feather shot an arrow at the front lantern, and penetrated through the lower abdomen of the lantern bearer, while sitting on his buttocks. It was only on the ground that there was a scream.

"A bit lower..."

Jiang Tian, ​​who was originally aiming at his most obvious target, tried his best to stand on tiptoe with the second feather arrow calmly; it shot out at the moment of exhaling, still penetrating the second sideways search arrow with an inaudible whistling sound. The man's arm was nailed to the Qiutou willow beside him.

"Lin Lang."

"Be careful.."

"There is an ambush..."

Now the rest of the people were like rabbits blowing up their nests. They dropped the lanterns on the spot and spread out to the left and right. They raised their knives in front of their chests, trying to find a shelter.

However, the third arrow has also been shot.With a puff, it passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves of a clump of trees. By chance, it pierced through the neck of one of them who thought it was well covered. .

"damned.."

"Dog thief..."

"..."

The remaining two became more and more panicked and panicked, shouting something to each other:
Then, Jiang Tian shot several more arrows, only to find that his arms began to be numb and deflected due to physical limitations, and when the opponent was hiding more tightly, they all landed on the cover.

Only then did the faint scolding and shouting sound in the wind come:
"The dog of Sansefang, don't you know who you are provoking..."

"Don't go, the person who cleans up is coming soon..."

"No, a certain family has to leave, or I'm afraid they will be cleaned up too..."

Then, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, another person finally jumped up uncontrollably, crawled desperately into the grass on the road, and rushed out under the violent wind and grass turbulence .

Then Jiang Tian, ​​who had been relieved and strengthened, moved ahead of the swaying movement, fired two arrows in a row, and immediately stopped motionless.At this time, Jiang Tian realized that the man behind the old tree at the other end did not move, but showed a corner of his clothes.

He couldn't help but shot through it with an arrow but found that the opponent still didn't move. He was shocked in an instant, and he was afraid that he had been hit by the opponent's golden cicada's plan to escape.Then Jiang Tian ran around to the side, and sure enough, he found only a coat nailed with a knife behind the tree.

"We have to leave quickly... There will be greater dangers if we stay any longer..."

Afterwards, he dealt with the scene again, and then led the girl and ran away in the opposite direction.Then she didn't run far when she stumbled and sat down with a pained grunt, but her feet had no shoes on and were scratched by the protruding ground.

"Hold me tight……"

He couldn't help but wrap the girl's feet in a cloth and put them behind his back, then freed his hand that could reach into the armpit to draw the knife at any time, then rushed out of this vast courtyard recklessly, and walked along the same road. Ochre returned.

When he walked out of the small door opening, he overturned the stacked baskets, and then added some material to it and supported it with a branch; then he ran along the alley for a certain distance from the boss, only to see the flames rising behind him.

It was someone who overturned the temporary mechanism he had set up in the shrine while searching; it was originally used to scare the big African baboons who often broke into the tribe to steal things.

After being used to ignite the inflammables deliberately collected inside, it is not so easy to extinguish, which somewhat helped him delay a little time;
However, when he ran to the location where the alley crossed the road at the beginning, there was another faint crackling sound from behind, but it was the warning mechanism placed at the small door opening that was also touched.

However, at this time, Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved.Because the city full of light is still in sight.As long as they gather among the people who watch the lanterns and play during the Lantern Festival, the other party will no longer be so easy to find.

Jiang Tian also felt this kind of luck that seemed to be the result of a lifetime after a catastrophe, while quietly comforting the girl who was running around behind her and was a little dizzy and about to vomit, and walked towards the nearest place where she could seek help according to her memory.

However, just the one street away from the alley entrance gives people a certain contrast and illusion of returning from the gloomy and bleak Netherland to An Ran back to the bustling world.

Because, along the way, you can see the ubiquitous silk and bamboo instrumental music playing and singing, the voices of divas standing on tall buildings and pavilions, intertwined with the cheers of countless men, women, old and young, or playing and laughing in the street;
Those are the musicians and divas who stand on the colorful sheds and high platforms at various street corners and begin to play and sing; the front courtyards of temples and temples are open everywhere, and there are various kinds of dramas and juggling performances;
The dazzling array of stalls and seats on both sides of the long street and avenue are also under the colorful lights, and there are many joyful eyes showing strange and colorful shapes.

All of these finally converged into caged fires and crowds of viewers that flooded the open-door city squares and alleys like fish swimming in the sea;
However, the most distinctive and conspicuous at a glance are the dozens of lamp mountains and lamp towers built outside Chengtianmen and on important streets. It has a huge dragon and phoenix shape.

There are large and small lamps embedded in their mouths, eyes, ears, noses, scales, and wings. They spread their mane and spread their wings, and raise their heads to the sky, as if they have the potential to soar. Around them are hung various There are countless lights in various styles:
There are groups of Taiping lanterns all over the world, universal celebration lanterns, individual "Fu" lanterns, "Shou" lanterns, "Happy" lanterns, Changfangsheng lanterns, plum blossom lanterns, Begonia lanterns, and complicated peacock lanterns and lion lanterns. , there are watermelon lanterns and gourd lanterns that are simple but lifelike...
To put it a bit exaggerated, all the tangible and visible things in the sky and the world have been reproduced in the lamps. Some of these lamps are as large as several feet, some are small enough to be pocket-sized, and some require many people to work together. Wave it up.

Once they are lit, a bright world emerges in an instant, illuminating the thousands of households and exquisitely crafted Dengshan Denglou in the cave, and you can see everything at a glance.

On the gate tower facing Danei Chengtian Gate far away, priceless glazed lamps, lotus root silk lamps and brocade boneless lamps are also lit.These kinds of special high-end lamps are all the chiefs of the southeast roads and other roads.He spared no effort to send people to make a special trip to escort the tribute to the court, just to show his face in front of the nobles in Dane on the day when the court "has fun with the people".

Among them, the largest pair of glazed lamps is said to be specially made in Guangzhou, which originated from the territory of the South China Sea Governor's Mansion.Use luminous pearl, agate and amethyst to pound into powder, boil it into a paste, add spices, and knead it repeatedly. Therefore, it has a natural aroma that lasts for a long time; the value is also worth three months in Zhongzhou The annual income of the land tax.
They are lit and hung on the highest point of Qionglou Yuyu. They are crystal clear, like two artificial moons rising in the sky. Tassels made of gold, silver, pearls and jade are also hung on the four corners of the tower. Jin Zhenyu, as if a piece of fairy music floated from the palace of Ruizhu in the sky.
Brilliant lights in dazzling shapes and shapes, together with the common people who rub shoulders with each other, and the shops and houses that never close their doors to attract customers at night, constitute a vivid and flexible painting of Shangyuan night.

Therefore, in the midst of this kind of human-filled street life, even the frightened girl on Jiang Tian's back can't help but relax, and can make some responses in his ears with babbling sounds and guide.

Suddenly, a woman in a green skirt with strange makeup and long eyebrows over her temples screamed. Jiang Tian looked at himself for no reason, and then felt the dirty-faced loli behind him trembling all over, and turned Hold on tightly to yourself.

"It's him, it's him..."

"Don't leave, don't be that man,"

With a loud shout, a group of burly men rushed out from under the colorful sheds and lampstands in the neighborhood, and amidst the exclamation of the ladies and visitors on the street, they quickly blocked the way back and forth.

These men are wearing two tight waistcoat-style soap-colored crotch shirts and shiny leather belts, black horned Putou with a black scarf exposed on the back of their heads, and metal plates on their feet so they can step on the ground. ankle boots;
Jiang Tian also immediately had the other party's identity in his mind.This is an unscrupulous man from Liangji County in the capital of Jingzhao Prefecture; it is similar to the existence of the auxiliary police, joint defense team, and urban construction law enforcement team in Chaoyang District, the capital of later generations.

It's just that they acted very old-fashioned, and without any explanation, they came forward with iron rulers, chains, forked sticks, simple-headed guns, etc., and shouted loudly.

"Good thief, I told you to run away for a few squares... I'll catch you before you put your hands up."

"What a pious kidnapper, he dares to kidnap people in the street, and treat him like a king under the feet of my emperor..."

"A thief who deserves death, why talk so much with him..."

Jiang Tian couldn't help but his heart sank again and he was burning with anger. His predecessor didn't report to the official and left a message, so he chased after him all the way.

As a result, as soon as the other party showed up, she couldn't help but say that she first used her words to label her and accused her of crimes, and wanted to rush to do it in public. Thinking about it with her ass, she should know that she had something to do with the people who robbed her.

The next moment, Jiang Tian cast his eyes behind the other party out of the corner of his eye, and even prepared a Zhanzi (similar to a sliding pole with a gauze cover) carried by two people. Ready to take it back.

If there was internet and mobile phones at this time, Jiang Tian would definitely post in the forums and groups he is most familiar with asking for help: "I accidentally traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and I was framed as an adult trafficker and wanted to be killed in the street. What should I do? , ask for help online!!!”

However, thinking of this, at this critical juncture, Jiang Tian's mind flashed again and again, and suddenly a burst of hostility that only modern people have.Could it be that if I don't issue bids, you ancient people will think of me as "Mi Twelve".

In an instant, a certain old scene flashed through his mind like a flash of light, and he was full of determination and indignation full of self-defeating, and he shouted with all his strength at the moment when the stick and lasso approached him:
"Respect the emperor and fight against the barbarians, punish the ministers of power, and return the great government..."

"Heaven punishes the powerful ministers, return the great government..."

"The great government is returned..."

As soon as these words were uttered, the noisy men, women, and civilians all over the street suddenly froze as if the silence button had been pressed; only the lingering echoes in the neighborhood were left, and then their faces changed and they shouted wolves. The rat ran away suddenly.

In this way, the entangled group of people was completely exposed in the empty street full of putou, sweat towels, shoes and socks.And just like a stress response, there were extremely intense and resounding whistles and jingling sounds from all over the distance.

But at this moment of shock, the faces of these unscrupulous men who surrounded Jiang Tian became mournful or horrified.

Because immediately there were loud and loud voices not far away, roaring one after another quickly from far to near:
"Which thief who kills thousands of knives dares to go to the Lantern Festival to cause chaos...Jinwujing Street is here..."

"The Shenwu Army patrols the city and is ordered to arrest the street rebels..."

"The Jingzhao Mansion's fast arrest team was ordered to come, where is the rebellious party..."

"Wu Desi is doing business, and everyone who is idle quickly avoids..."

"The armored cavalry team of the Longwu Army is present... Zhu Si avoids..."

"The inspector censor handles the case on the spot... Dare to ask where the criminal is."

Seeing the unscrupulous men surrounding him, and being surrounded by all kinds of people with helmets on their backs, people holding flags, spears, cards and knives, they couldn't help being a little dumbfounded on the spot.At this time, Jiang Tian had more doubts;

After the mid-Tang Dynasty, under the hands of the fathers-in-law, they were arrogant and arrogant, and the three untraceable Shence Army known as the "Censor, Jingzhao, and Ministry of War" went here. Why are there only Shenwu Army, Longwu Army, and Jinwu Army in the capital? What name.

But in Jiang Tian's field of vision, a series of green prompts flashed again, "The completion of the guiding mission "Redemption" (2/2). The history line is slightly deflected, and energy is being collected..."
