185. Footprints
In the dark night, Han Tong, wearing a conical hat, broke through layers of snow.
As he ran wildly, it seemed as if a huge dragon was rolling around him. The snowflakes were involuntarily swept into the air flow and turned into a tornado behind him.
Chen Ji followed behind the other person. There was a buzzing sound in his ears. The blood flowing from his forehead wet half of his cheek. The blood mixed with the mud made his face blurry and hideous.
The explosion in Qingzhuyuan was too fierce, so fierce that his internal organs were still burning with pain.
Chen Ji was not a professional blaster and had no clear idea of the power of gunpowder. He only knew that he had to keep Yun Yang and Jiao Mian so that the two of them would have no chance to stop Liang Gou'er from breaking into the prison.
He didn't care whether he would die in the explosion, whether Liang Gou'er would seek revenge on him afterwards, or whether Han Tong would kill him by mistake.
At this time, the spies split half of their team to rescue Jin Zhu, Yun Yang, and Jiao Rabbit, and the other half followed Chen Ji to hunt down Han Tong. However, the two were too fast for the spies to catch up.
Chen Ji looked back at the spy who had been thrown away and saw that he had disappeared. He suddenly said to Han Tong's back, "Stop. I have something to tell you."
Han Tong stood still in the snowstorm, turned around, and angrily asked, "Where's Baili? Your people said she would be taken to Baiyi Lane tonight, so why is there no sign of her?"
Chen Ji took a deep breath and slowly walked to Han Tong. Only at such a close distance could he hear the other person's voice clearly despite the tinnitus. "What did you say just now?"
Han Tong angrily repeated, "Where's Baili?"
Chen Ji replied, "The princess is still in the inner prison."
Han Tong turned and left, his voice as cold as a knife rang out: "You used me in the name of Baili. I will hunt you down one by one in the future."
Chen Ji said calmly, "Master Han, do you know where the inner prison is? If you want to save the princess, you can only do as I say."
Han Tong paused: "You brat, you want to order me around?"
Chen Ji continued, "Master Han, many people risked their lives tonight to save the prince and the princess. But if you think you can save them by simply attacking the inner prison, you're naive. The inner prison is a prison, and isn't this huge Luo City another prison?"
Chen Ji promised, "Do as I say, and I guarantee you'll see the princess again." Han Tong turned his head in the snow, his eyes sharp as a knife, "What do you need me to do?"
Chen Ji instructed: "I want you to go to the Caoyun Wharf immediately and prepare a fast boat that can leave Los Angeles tonight. I don't care what method you use,
This ship must be prepared. If I can rescue her tonight, I will take her to Jing Dynasty and settle down there, never returning to Ning Dynasty."
Chen Ji is about to leave Ning Dynasty, but he must take Bai Li with him.
Han Tong weighed the options for a moment and then asked, "I'll definitely prepare the boat, but how will you get the people to the dock?"
Chen Ji shook his head: "You just need to prepare the boat, you don't need to know the rest." Han Tong frowned: "How should I know if you are lying to me?"
Chen Ji looked directly into Han Tong's eyes and said softly, "I will definitely rescue her."
Han Tong was startled for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "In the Jianghu, we are people who always keep our word, do what we say, and keep our promises. I hope you didn't lie to me."
"Jianghu?" Chen Ji chuckled, recalling Qiansui Jun. He looked down at the messy snow on the ground and said, "Hit me with all your might to cover up these footprints in the snow, and then go to the dock and do what you need to do."
"good!"
At this moment, footsteps could be heard in the darkness in the distance. Chen Ji and Han Tong resumed their pursuit.
During the chase, Han Tong suddenly turned around, and in an instant, he threw a violent punch. As his fist swung, the Buddha tattoo on his wrist glowed golden, and a huge golden Buddha image bloomed behind him.
In the wind and snow.
The Buddha stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, and Han Tong threw a punch. Their movements were integrated into one. Although his fist had not yet touched Chen Ji, Chen Ji was already blown away by a huge force.
Chen Ji spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, then plummeted to the ground in a parabola. His body slid several feet across the snow, which surged up like waves, erasing the messy footprints where the two had stood. He listened to Han Tong's receding footsteps, knowing that this final and crucial link had been completed. The rest, success or failure, was entirely up to fate.
Chen Ji lay flat in the snow, too tired to get up.
In a trance, he saw snowflakes from the sky falling on his face, and then the embarrassed faces of Yunyang and Jiaotu appeared in his vision, looking down at him coldly.
The two of them had disheveled hair and were covered in bruises, completely losing their handsome appearance as the golden boy and jade girl.
Chen Ji's heart was calm. He hadn't received any ice flow from the two men during the explosion, so he already knew they were alive. At this moment, whether they were dead or not was no longer important.
Chen Ji said, "My lords, the one who hurt me is Han Tong, the leader of the Luotian Sect. Go after him!"
I only heard Yunyang say in a fierce voice: "Are you plotting against us?"
Jiaotu squatted in the old traces,
She tucked her messy hair behind her ears and said with a grin, "I was drinking with you out of kindness, and you actually wanted to kill me?"
Chen Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood, wiped his mouth and explained, "My lords, the place was chosen by Lord Yunyang, why do you suspect me?"
Yun Yang sneered and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter whether it's you or not." Then he looked at Jiao Tu and said: "Just kill him."
However, at this moment, Jin Zhu arrived, pushed the two men aside and said coldly, "Chen Ji was also in the building at the time. If he wanted to kill you, wouldn't he have to kill me as well? I will report this matter to the Minister of Internal Affairs, and he will make the final decision!"
He snarled fiercely, "If you want to indiscriminately murder your colleagues, come and try your hand at me first! If I don't die today, you'll never have peace again."
Yunyang and Jiaotu looked at each other, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Jin Zhu's words were indeed reasonable: Chen Ji was in the building when the firearm exploded. If this was really Chen Ji's doing, then Chen Ji must die with him.
They don't believe that anyone can risk their life for others. They are not that kind of person and have never seen such a person!
After thinking for a moment, Yun Yang squatted in front of Chen Ji and said, "I believe this matter has nothing to do with you, but you..."
At this time, Chen Ji propped himself up in the snow and pointed at Han Tong's footprints. He said, "My lords, it's snowing heavily now, so nothing can hide in the snow. Just follow the footprints, capture Han Tong, and interrogate Meng Ji. The truth will naturally come out. Moreover, the Internal Minister wants to eliminate the Luo Tian Sect. Capturing Han Tong will relieve the Internal Minister's worries and will be a great achievement."
Yunyang looked at the footprints.
Chen Ji urged, "Hurry up, otherwise the new snow will cover your footprints." Jiaotu got up and left, followed closely by Yunyang.
Jin Zhu asked in a low voice: "Are you okay with your injury?"
Chen Ji said, "Sir, don't worry about me. Capturing him is more important." Jin Zhu lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Is it worth it?"
Chen Ji lay back down in the snow without saying a word. Someone had bought his life with six gold melon seeds, and he had no intention of considering whether it was worth it.
Seeing that he stopped talking, the Golden Pig gritted his teeth and finally caught up with the Cloud Sheep and the Bright Rabbit.
After the three people walked away, Chen Ji slowly stood up and looked into the distance. When the Secret Service caught Han Tong, he and Bai Li should have been on their way to Jingchao.
Chen Ji pulled a piece of gray cloth from his pocket, covered his face, and turned to run in the other direction. The snow fell heavily, gradually hiding his footprints in the darkness.
