Taoist fast crossing

In a panic, Su Baoling had to squeeze Wen Jinghong's hand, hoping to make her understand.

"Sister?" Si Qingyan knelt down and felt for Su Baoling's pulse.

"Yes..." Su Baoling struggled to smear the blood from her finger onto Si Qingyan's palm.

This is not a fishing boat, how could there be blood?Something must have happened on board...

"Be careful." She spat out two more words with all her strength.

Si Qingyan turned her head when she heard the words, the old boatman who punted the boat slowly raised his head, and there was a familiar face under the bamboo hat.

The owner of this face is Ji Ming, who also used to be Boss Su who opened Zhenbao Pavilion.

At this time, the expression on Ji Ming's face made people feel very strange.

Gloomy and serious, his eyes are sharp, the corners of his mouth are slightly downturned, cold and numb.

He lost a lot of weight, almost a different person.The skin is a little loose, which is more suitable for his current age.When you look at him after losing weight, you will realize that Ji Ming is also a slender man with regular features, narrow and long eyes, and dark and deep eyeballs. He must have looked good when he was young.

There was really nothing in his eyes, they were empty and cold, like an ice cave.He couldn't see his only daughter Su Baoling who was dying, nor could he see his disciple Si Qingyan, whom he loved very much in the past.

His eyes didn't focus on a certain point, as if he was looking at the dark water surface, or at the blood that Su Baoling had just smeared on Si Qingyan's palm.

It turned out that the boatman arranged by Wen Jinghong had already been disposed of by Ji Ming. The night was dark and the wind was high, leaving some blood stains. It was a flaw, but it was not a big problem.

Under the siege, it is impossible to escape with wings.

Ji Ming fired a shot into the sky, and countless ships rushed out from all directions, all rushing in this direction, like candles suddenly lit up in the dark night, attracting countless mosquitoes and moths.

For a moment the water surged, creating a tide.

In this boundless night, apart from the sound of water, there is only silence.

The people under Ji Ming's command have always ordered and prohibited them, and they didn't even speak softly.

On this small boat, Si Qingyan, Wen Jinghong, and Su Baoling became the focus of everyone's attention.The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the three of them. As long as they acted rashly, the bullets would shoot to the limbs. They would not die temporarily, and they would definitely not escape.

No matter which direction you flee from, you will definitely die.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Si Qingyan was a little helpless.

Could it be that Su Baoling couldn't be rescued today?

"Don't move, I won't kill you for the time being."

Ji Ming finally spoke.

His tone was serious and indifferent. Although the voice was the same, they were indeed two completely different people from Boss Su.

On the surface, he is a fat boss who is cowardly and picky, but in fact he is the biggest boss in the shadows of Nanjing City... No wonder he is able to sell the fake paintings made by Si Qingyan safely.

Su Baoling trembled slightly, as if she was in an ice cave.

The most unexpected thing finally happened.

She disapproved of the object of her father's allegiance, and his father scoffed at what she aspired to.

Finally, it has developed from a verbal sword to a real knife and a real gun.

Today, my father is Daozu, and I am fish and meat. He has always been willing to sacrifice everything for his ideals. Am I really going to die in his hands?

It would be clean to die, but Si Qingyan and Wen Jinghong are both here...

What would he do with them?

If he had known earlier, he should have died more quickly, so as not to drag others down.

"The higher ups said to live."

Ji Ming added a sentence, and began to search Si Qingyan, Wen Jinghong, and Su Baoling for Si Qingyan, Wen Jinghong, and Su Baoling.

He moved naturally and thoughtfully, and removed Si Qingyan's gun.

When he was about to search for Wen Jinghong, a sudden gun was pointed at Ji Ming's throat.

The person holding the gun is Su Baoling.

She braced herself, stared at Ji Ming, and said in a trembling voice:

"You let them go, I'll go with you!"

Ji Ming sneered, it seemed that it was because she was too naive, so naive as to be cute.

With a flat tone and a smile, he said:

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, you can shoot, nothing will change except my death."

"You can also try to threaten them with me to see if they are afraid."

Su Baoling firmly held the gun she had touched from Wen Jinghong's body, trying to see Ji Ming's expression clearly, but there was only a blur all the time. Instead, because her eyes were open for too long, they were astringent and painful, and reddish tears flowed out.

The tears may be mixed with blood, and they slid down her pale and thin face, which was shocking.

"Back back, or I will kill Ji Ming!"

After Su Baoling finished speaking, no one retreated.

Those people are silent, unmoved, the task is the most important, higher than the life and death of the companions.

The sound of the river water hitting the side of the boat was very clear.

Jiming smiled.

Whether it was a mockery or something else, it was impossible to tell who exactly he was mocking.

"Heh... are you satisfied?"

Su Baoling suddenly threw the gun into the water and made a "boom".

Instead, she laughed, unable to hold herself back, crying and laughing, emotionally broken, and asked sternly:

"Are you satisfied?"

"Are you satisfied?"

"Are you going to force me to death?"

Are you satisfied with handing me over to Nanjing?

Do you really want to kill Si Qingyan and Wen Jinghong?

But who knows you?Who cares if you live or die?

You can't see the light, you are notorious, everyone hates you and is afraid of you, are you satisfied now?

Ji Ming nodded expressionlessly.

"satisfy."

The last time Si Qingyan saw Su Baoling crying was a few years ago.At that time, when she cried, she was panicked and terrified, like a cub who lost her elders, she had nothing to rely on, she was wronged to the extreme, and wanted to cry out all her emotions.

At that time, she could still laugh because of Boss Su's one-liner, but now she can't.

At this time, Su Baoling was in extreme pain, even her breathing was trembling, her tears kept pouring out, her voice was hoarse and shrill, she covered her face, and cried so hard that she almost convulsed.

Before the Zhenbao Pavilion was opened there, she thought that Boss Su passed away, but the house was still there, and the home was gone, so she felt extremely uncomfortable.Now Ji Ming is standing here intact, she looks around, there is a vast ocean, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the earth, relatives are not relatives, reasons are not reasons, no matter what, she can't say "father".

Wen Jinghong held Su Baoling in his arms, hurriedly stroked her back, and hugged her tightly, hoping to give her some strength.

If the time of death has come tonight, then there is nothing to regret.

Wen Jinghong was ready to die when he came to rescue Su Baoling.

It's a pity that Si Qingyan was involved in this matter.

"Abao don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."

Wen Jinghong hugged Su Baoling, hugging her like a child, shaking her gently, wrapping her hands around Su Baoling's hair, vaguely seeing the bruises and bruises in her hair, the pain was so painful that she even stopped breathing.

The treasure in my heart is obviously a squeamish girl, why has she suffered so much, why is she so courageous, and why she never yelled out the pain...

"In the next life, I will protect you early and not let you suffer any grievances."

"Thank you..." Su Baoling tried her best to smile, and wrapped her arms around Wen Jinghong's waist.

Mr. Wen's affection is too strong. If I knew it earlier, I should not have said a word to Mr. Wen back then.

There is no need to say something to hurt her now.

"Tie them up."

Unmoved, Ji Ming ordered indifferently.

The boats were connected, Si Qingyan and the other three were tied up with iron chains by Ji Ming's subordinates, and with thick iron locks, they were put on another big boat.The rest of the boats and people dispersed, and only a part stayed on the big boat to escort the three of them southward with Ji Ming.

It is impossible for everyone to rush for them.

As long as the person is captured and falls into Ji Ming's hands, there will be no possibility of escape.

……

"Why are you so... calm?"

Su Baoling calmed down for a while after crying, and her mood has stabilized a lot.

Anyway, if you are caught, you can either escape or die.

Although she couldn't see Si Qingyan's appearance clearly, she felt that he was always calm, as if he didn't take these things to heart.

"Stretch your head out and cut your head back." Si Qingyan was actually a little worried.

This world suppresses unnatural forces to the extreme, and the effect of spells is greatly reduced. Every time, he reduces his sense of existence and uses some special techniques to hide himself. If he takes two people with him, he may not be able to escape safely. go.

"That's true." After Su Baoling finished speaking, she wiped away the tears from her face and moved the heavy shackles with a bang.

The wind on the river is getting stronger and stronger, even on a summer night, people will feel a lot of chills. At the beginning, the bright moon completely disappeared, and the thunder rumbled, and the rain fell heavily.

Originally, the prisoners should be detained separately, but it is also beneficial for the three of them to be locked together, which can better concentrate manpower for guarding.

So the three of them were stuffed into an iron cage each, and they were laid together in a square shape.Si Qingyan and Wen Jinghong are at the bottom, and Su Baoling is at the top.

The cage is so small that you can't sit, you can only curl up.

Wen Jinghong asked in a low voice:

"Bao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Qingyan, are you squeezing?" Su Baoling wanted to laugh when she thought that Si Qingyan was more than a head taller than her and squeezed into the cage.

"It's not bad...a rare experience." Si Qingyan was locked in the cage for the first time, and opened her eyes to observe the iron cage carefully.

Thumb-thick solid iron bars are welded to the top and bottom of the cage, which is very strong, and the outside is tied several times with iron chains, not to mention shutting down people, it is more than enough for a black bear with a bald head and a small size.

The rain outside was getting heavier, crackling and pounding on the deck.

This situation reminds Su Baoling of a poem, which is very appropriate.

Listening to the wind and rain at night, the iron horse glares into a dream.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty fought with the British army and signed the Treaty of Nanjing, but there is still no hope in this land.It's getting darker and darker, and I can't see a little light when I open my eyes wide.

Even with the efforts of countless people, the future is still elusive.

What will happen next...

Will the magnificent China and the vast Central Plains be divided up?And the people in this land all bowed their heads to live, couldn't straighten their backs, and became slaves of aliens...

"I really regret that I shouldn't have troubled you."

Su Baoling is very tolerant.

Facing Si Qinglan's pursuit, she could coldly refuse.

In the face of those different faces, she can commit herself to perfection.

In the face of the doubts of fellow travelers, she can patiently prove herself.

It's just that when thinking of Wen Jinghong and Si Qingyan, his heart feels like a thousand ants are biting him, the pain is unspeakable.

"This is a decision I made myself. There are thousands of strange things, but none of them can be blamed on you." Wen Jinghong said in a low voice.

"It's not the last moment, don't be discouraged." Si Qingyan still had something on her body, and Ji Ming found it, but didn't take it away.

What is Ji Ming's position...

It is also difficult to judge for a while.

Si Qingyan planned to go out to check the situation first, took off the iron chains that bound his limbs layer by layer, carefully touched the lock on the outside of the iron cage, pried it open silently, and then got out through the cage door.

Everyone present has seen himself and Wen Jinghong, and their memories must be erased.

When Si Qingyan went out, she found that the guards on the left and right were lying on the ground with a knife cut on their necks and blood spattering.

Holding a dagger in his hand, Ji Ming stood in the rain, with blood and rain dripping from the edge of the blade. He looked at Si Qingyan and nodded slightly.Anyway, we have faked so many times together, we have a tacit understanding, and we can understand each other through eye contact.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Ji Ming approached the nearby subordinates silently, patted the shoulder lightly, and when the other party turned his head, he gently pulled the dagger in his hand, blood spattered, elegant and neat.

There was only a moment of dumbness and eyes that were gradually out of focus, full of astonishment and disbelief...

Ji Ming then gently put the person down without making a sound.

What Si Qingyan hid was also a dagger, which was not confiscated. At this time, like Ji Ming, he was reaping the lives of the nearby guards.These people are not normal, and their spirits are very weak. Even if they try not to fall asleep, they are unresponsive.

Ji Ming, Boss Su, really turned to his daughter.

"I left explosives on this ship, and I towed a small boat behind the ship, which is your previous ship."

"I'm going to pull that boat closer."

"Go and rescue Abao and Mr. Wen first, I will ignite the explosives and join you again."

After Ji Ming finished speaking quickly, he turned around and turned a roulette at the stern to pull the boat behind him closer.

The boat that was towed behind was not big, it was also the one that Wen Jinghong took earlier, it was more than enough to carry three or four people.

The wind is strong tonight, and we will soon reach a shoal as we go down the river.Ji Ming left trusted people there to meet him, and if there is no accident, the connection should be smooth.

Si Qingyan nodded and hid in the darkness.

Lockpicking is the basic skill Boss Su recorded in his notes. There are many locks in Zhenbao Pavilion, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad. There is no need to worry about the outer lock this time.

Supported by Wen Jinghong, Su Baoling was a little dazed, but she didn't ask any questions, and just followed behind Si Qingyan.

The three of them came to the stern of the ship among the many dead bodies lying there, only to see a small boat drifting with the current below, and there was a rope ladder on the edge of the big ship for easy climbing down.

Ji Ming was not here, so he must have gone to light the fire.

Wen Jinghong went down first, and Si Qingyan carried Su Baoling down again. She caught Su Baoling carefully and carried Su Baoling into the shed.

Si Qingyan was the last one to come up. He had just boarded the boat when he realized that there were other boats on this river.Not far away, a magnificent ship is slowly approaching.

A thick and tight rope was tied between the boat he was in and the big boat Ji Ming was in. The knots at the joints were a little loose, but they were not completely unraveled, and the two boats, one big and one small, were still connected together.

"Let's go." The outline of the approaching ship gradually became clear, and Wen Jinghong had some ominous premonition, and motioned Si Qingyan to untie the rope.

Su Baoling seemed to have thought of something, with hope in her eyes.

Could it be...Could it be...Father...Is it him?

But soon, Ji Ming appeared at the stern with a gun in his hand and blood on his body.

He stood on the big boat and looked over from a distance with an unpredictable expression.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly a bright light hit Ji Ming.

The ship was probably less than [-] meters away from here, and a red flag that was drenched by the rain and then forcibly raised by the strong wind was buzzing.

This is the symbol of the Nanjing government.

Since the fall of the Northeast, the national flag of the Nanjing government has been replaced by a blue sky, white sun and red flags all over the ground.

Passing by, by accident, by coincidence, it happened to be a ship of the Nanjing government.

The people on that ship saw Ji Ming clearly through the light, and some acquaintances even shouted:

"Old Ji, what are you doing?"

"Pursue the fugitive."

"Then you have to move faster, wait for you to come over and drink!"

"Row."

With a calm tone, Ji Ming raised his gun and pointed it at Su Baoling.

His face was expressionless, the corners of his mouth curled down, maybe it was because he had just killed someone, and he also had a trembling viciousness.

Su Baoling couldn't see anything clearly, and thousands of sour emotions came to her heart.

This man, who patiently taught me how to use a gun, is now pointing a gun at me.

Su Baoling slowly raised the gun, aiming at Ji Ming.

Is he... trying to hunt him down?

Ji Ming looked this way, his eyes were heavy and complicated.

Su Baoling couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, nor could he perceive his eyes, but could only vaguely see a vague shadow.

He could only be seen shaking his head slightly this way.

What does he mean?

The Nanjing government ship is getting closer, 40 meters, 30 meters...

You must go, if you are caught up, you will definitely not have a third chance to escape.

Can't let them meet... can't...be caught up by Ji Ming...

Su Baoling gritted her teeth fiercely, aimed at Ji Ming, and pulled the trigger with a steady hand——

The bullet shot out like a poisonous snake, locked onto Ji Ming's right shoulder, hit it successfully, and blasted away a cloud of blood...

A fully loaded gun was hidden in a dark compartment on the ship, and Wen Jinghong took it out as soon as he got up.

Su Baoling's marksmanship is very good, and she hits the target with every shot.

Even though he was half-blind, he still hit Ji Ming.

After this shot, she lost all strength and fell into Wen Jinghong's arms, her vision was empty.

Almost at the same moment, Ji Ming also fired, and his hand was deflected by a point, and then his whole body was deflected by the force of the bullet shot by Su Baoling, and he fell over and fell into the river, splashing huge water.

The bullet he missed just broke the thick rope between the boat and the ship.

The strong wind raged, and the light boat was pushed away in an instant.

Wen Jinghong thought in a daze, oh, when Ji Ming shook his head just now, he clearly looked at Si Qingyan, why did he shake his head...

Si Qingyan lowered her eyes, focused her attention, and used her strength to influence the direction of the wind, trying to make the boat go faster... so that he could go back to find Ji Ming alone.

Weigh the pros and cons.

If Ji Ming is injured, it can be delayed for a while.

If Ji Ming also came on board, he would definitely be concentrated.

It is Ji Ming's way of dealing with things by stripping away emotions and quickly finding the best way to deal with them.

The meaning of shaking his head probably means... this matter cannot be discussed with Su Baoling yet.

Boss Ji saw it so thoroughly that he even guessed that Su Baoling would shoot.

Boss Ji is likely to be rescued by the people on that ship...

boom--

A huge flame ignited in the distance.

The big boat that originally held the three of them exploded.

The light of the fire reaches the sky, and the cave illuminates the banks of the river.
