Chapter 72 Officers and soldiers round up
Seeing that the Wu'an Palace fell into chaos, Dark Moon Fairy and her companions took the opportunity to sneak back to the inn where they were staying.
At this time, Xiao Jingyi was witnessing the birthday party he had carefully prepared being turned into a mess, but he was not as panicked or angry as others.
On the contrary, he remained unusually calm and decisively issued an order: "Close the city gates immediately! From now on, strictly check all outsiders! Whether they are visiting relatives and friends, or businessmen, anyone who is not a citizen of Nanyi will be arrested and taken to the military camp for severe torture!"
Xiao Jingyi would never tolerate such reckless behavior on this land. He knew that if he did not take tough measures to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, there would probably be more similar incidents in the future.
Therefore, even if there is a possibility of accidentally hurting innocent people, he would not hesitate - he would rather kill thousands of people by mistake than let any suspicious element go!
The military advisor looked at Xiao Jingyi solemnly and said slowly: "Marshal, do you think this could be someone sent by the court?" He pondered various possibilities in his mind, but his eyes were always on Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi shook his head slightly and replied firmly: "Emperor Wen would never do this. In my opinion, it is very likely that the people from the Soul-Seeking Sect are behind this. They must want to take this opportunity to rescue Nanzhi out of the city!" When he said this, his fists unconsciously clenched a little.
While the two were discussing, Xiao Jingyi's deputy general hurried into the room, clasped his fists and saluted before reporting: "Marshal, after an in-depth investigation, we found that there are indeed some suspicious things about today's troupe."
Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he asked: "Oh? What's the specific problem? Tell me quickly!"
The deputy general quickly replied: "As far as I know, this troupe came to Nanyi a few days ago, but was suddenly invited to perform. Moreover, when they were performing, the people backstage seemed to intentionally avoid the sight of the guards..."
The more Xiao Jingyi listened, the gloomier his expression became. Finally, he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Take people to bring all those people back immediately! Remember, interrogate them strictly and make sure to get the truth!" He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and he could not be careless in the slightest.
Outside the Yunlai Inn, there were densely packed soldiers in full gear, surrounding the entire inn. The atmosphere inside the inn was tense, and everyone looked solemn.
A deputy general led a team of soldiers into the inn and began to search floor by floor. Seeing this, Dark Moon Fairy raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Xiao Jingyi is not stupid. He figured out the clues so quickly."
The sword spirit at the side held a long sword in his hand and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Master, there is no time to lose. We will fight our way out, and you and Princess Nanzhi will break out from the back door."
Dark Moon Fairy turned to Shang Lu and ordered: "You people from Soul-seeking Sect are responsible for escorting Nanzhi to the Soul-seeking Sect's branch. At the same time, let Mu San and Ghost Hand's men go together. I will go with Sword Soul's men to meet these officers and soldiers!"
After hearing this, Nanzhi pouted and said unhappily: "I don't want to be separated from Sister Anyue! I can use poison to protect myself!"
Dark Moon Fairy glanced helplessly at the innocent little girl, thinking that she was young and ignorant after all, but the situation was critical at the moment, so she could only let her do as she pleased. So she responded: "Okay! Since you insist on following me, then it's up to you!"
Then, Dark Moon Fairy cast her eyes towards the people of the Soul-seeking Sect and said sternly, "Those with weaker fighting power should retreat immediately, and the rest of you should follow me to fight together!"
Before he finished speaking, the people present looked at each other in bewilderment, no one wanted to admit in public that they were not strong enough. For a moment, the scene fell into silence.
Mu San stepped forward and shouted to the ghost hand: "We should not cause trouble to them, let's retreat quickly!"
Ghost Hand touched his nose and thought to himself: When it comes to killing the enemy, it's really not something that thieves like us are good at.
At this time, Du Zhong and Du Heng led everyone to quietly climb out of the window, and then headed towards the branch of the Soul-Seizing Gate with trepidation and tiptoe.
At the same time, Dark Moon Fairy led the others out of the room, but she didn't expect that a large number of soldiers were already waiting outside the door. The deputy general in the lead stared at Dark Moon Fairy with eyes as sharp as a hawk, and shouted: "Jia Xiong? Come here! Take them all away!"
Jia Xiong's eyes were as cold as ice, and the sharp blade in his hand flashed with cold light. He slashed at the deputy general without hesitation. The deputy general had never expected that Jia Xiong would dare to disobey orders so openly. He was caught off guard and felt a sharp gust of wind coming. In the blink of an eye, he was cut by the opponent's blade.
The deputy general's armor was as fragile as paper, and was easily cut open, with blood gushing out instantly. However, Jia Xiong just said lightly: "I didn't expect that the quality of the armor equipped by the Nanyi army is so bad!"
At this moment, the deputy general's face turned extremely ugly. He secretly knew in his heart that the power contained in Jia Xiong's attack just now was definitely extraordinary. The man in front of him was undoubtedly a master who was hiding his true strength!
Anger and fear intertwined together, the deputy general roared: "Everyone listen up, attack together! No matter life or death, we must capture this man!" With his order, the surrounding officers and soldiers waved their weapons and rushed towards Jia Xiong.
At this moment, Nanzhi quickly took out a packet of poison powder from her arms and shouted loudly: "Look at my power! The poison powder is here!" She originally planned to use this packet of poison powder to stun the officers and soldiers who besieged them, but because she was too excited, she made mistakes.
As a result, the poison powder did not fall on the faces of the officers and soldiers as expected, but instead flew in front of Jian Hun and Jian San. In an instant, the two felt a pungent smell coming towards them, and then they rolled their eyes, fell limply to the ground, and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the members of the Black Sword Team hurried forward to help the two men up and carefully carried them on their backs. Dark Moon Fairy was secretly annoyed and glared at Nanzhi fiercely. If she had knocked this troublemaker unconscious at the beginning and handed him over to Du Bangchui directly, there would not be so much trouble.
Nanzhi shouted in grievance: "I really didn't mean it!" However, Dark Moon Fairy didn't believe his explanation at all and responded coldly: "Oh? Really? Then can I understand that you did it on purpose?"
At this moment, the deputy general on the side suddenly shouted loudly: "Quick! Catch the guy who uses the poison powder! He may be Nanzhi in disguise! We must not let him run away!" As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him came to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and immediately rushed towards Nanzhi.
Nanzhi: “……!”
