Chapter 349 Qin Zhengqiu's Choice
The moment the fire bloomed in the air, it meant that both sides were very clear about their situation.
For Bai Youheng, his attempt to gather intelligence failed and his identity was exposed, so he now needs to escape by any means necessary.
As for Du Chang, since it is impossible to keep Yan Luo, he must not lose him again.
At least before Wei Changtian and others arrived, he must always know the location of Yan Luo.
Of course, Yan Luo can walk through walls and his speed is extremely fast, so he definitely cannot do this alone.
But fortunately, he has a whole group of night watchmen behind him, and even all the violent organizations in the entire Fengyuan City.
"Command Fire!!"
"Quick! Yama has appeared!!"
“Swish, swish, swish!!”
In an instant, an "encirclement" suddenly appeared with the night watchman's office as the center, gradually gradually becoming sparse and covering the entire Fengyuan city.
Countless night watchmen, constables from the government offices, and city guards appeared from all over the city, all looking up at the command fire blooming in the distance.
However, they did not rush to the direction of Linghuo to reinforce, but scattered to guard their respective areas until "Bang!!"
Less than ten breaths after the first fire exploded, the second fire appeared in the sky again, and its position had shifted about a mile to the east.
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth flowers. Golden orchids representing the highest alert level bloomed one after another, but in different positions.
If you look from a higher place, this scene is actually quite similar to the golden fireworks footprints that "walked" all the way from Yongdingmen to the Bird's Nest during the 2008 Olympic Games.
And their functions are indeed very similar -
They are all indicating the location of something.
That’s right, this is Plan B that Du Chang prepared.
He knew very well that once he was in the situation of chasing Yan Luo, it would be impossible to just follow him.
Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the number of people to achieve "real-time positioning".
A large number of people were placed in advance near the night watchman's office, the princess's mansion, the imperial palace and other places where Yama Luo was very likely to appear to gather intelligence. In this way, no matter where Yama Luo escaped to, there would always be someone waiting on his way in advance.
These officers do not have to take action against Yan Luo. They only need to light the command fire as soon as they see Yan Luo and indicate Yan Luo's location to the others so that their colleagues around them can be prepared.
There is no doubt that this is a stupid method and requires a huge number of manpower.
But this is a very simple and effective method.
This is the only way even when Wei Changtian is unable to track down Yan Luo's location.
“.”
“Here it comes!!”
"Quick! Set off the fire!!!"
East Quarter.
Looking at "Guan Jingzhong" who was fleeing frantically not far away, a night watchman with a gong tied to his chest shouted, then rushed forward and rushed towards the figure.
"Bang!"
Behind him, his colleagues immediately fired the blaster to send the fire into the air, but the gong watchman had no time to look up. He just continued to chase Guan Jingzhong, who had already changed direction, while shouting: "Yan Luo is here!"
"Yan Luo is next!!"
“.”
Obviously, he was not saying that he was Yama Luo, but while ordering the people to give way, he was also reminding his colleagues in the surrounding areas that Yama Luo had arrived.
“Swish!”
A dark shadow flashed by in the distance, getting farther and farther away from him.
But the night watchman gritted his teeth and kept chasing until he saw his colleague in front of him taking over his baton, and then he slowly stopped.
"Bang!"
"Yan Luo is here!"
"Yan Luo is here."
In the distance, as countless fires rose into the sky, another person's shouting was heard in the distance.
Now, hundreds of breaths have passed since the first fire.
Yan Luo is still on the run and they haven't lost him yet.
I didn’t expect that Du Chang could accomplish what Wei Changtian, or the system, couldn’t do in this way.
From this perspective, Du Chang is indeed a talent.
But then again, this is just a stopgap measure after all.
Fengyuan City is so big, but Du Chang’s manpower is not unlimited.
Therefore, the farther away from the night watchman's office, the sparser the encirclement will be, and naturally the more likely it is for loopholes to appear.
By then, if there is just one mistake in the "handover of the baton", Yan Luo can escape completely.
Unless Wei Changtian and his companions can arrive in time before that.
“Whoosh!”
"Fuck it!!"
The roof tiles were shattered under his feet and a gust of wind swept through his body.
Wei Changtian continued to run at high speed while cursing in his heart.
When the first fire started, they were actually only a few hundred meters away from the night watchman's office.
If Yan Luo had chosen to flee in their direction at that time, the two sides would have collided.
But maybe it was because of the blessing of heaven, or maybe it was because of other reasons, in the end Bai Youheng did not choose to go south, but fled to the east.
As a result, Wei Changtian and his companions had no choice but to continue chasing in the direction of Ling Huo.
At the beginning, because Yan Luo did not run in a straight line, Wei Changtian and the others were able to close the distance somewhat.
However, due to the difference in absolute speed, and the fact that Yan Luo soon stopped making detours like a headless fly, they were now getting farther and farther away from the newly launched groups of fire.
Damn! If this continues, there will be no chance!
Wei Changtian was extremely anxious at this time, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, if you run slowly, you run slowly, and there are no "speed-up" props in the system that can be used.
Unless "Changtian! Give me the sword!"
Suddenly, Qin Zhengqiu, who was running beside him, shouted, "There is no other way now!"
“.”
What Qin Zhengqiu proposed at this moment was actually Wei Changtian’s idea just now.
Now, the only one who can catch up with Yan Luo and has the ability to use the Tiaoyue Sword is Qin Zhengqiu.
But if I hand over the sword, then the risk of performing that sword move will only be borne by the latter . This is fucking terrible.
If the swords were to exchange blows, Qin Zhengqiu would most likely be in danger. At the very least, his cultivation would plummet like Old Zhang's, or at worst, he would die.
If he doesn't hand it over, he will most likely miss the last chance to kill Yan Luo, and the deal he reached with Li Qi will go bankrupt.
Of course, neither of these two results is absolute.
It is possible that Qin Zhengqiu could activate the sword move and still be safe and sound, and it is also possible that even if he missed this time, he would have another chance to kill Yan Luo next time . But everyone knows that this is only a low probability event.
Therefore, Wei Changtian was undoubtedly extremely conflicted at this moment.
“Zheng!”
A rapid sword chant was heard, and a hilt emerged from the top of the Starry Sheath. It came out of the sheath a few inches but suddenly stopped.
no!
Damn it! The lives of the people of Dafeng have nothing to do with me!
If I can't kill him, then I can't kill him! At worst, I can go back and continue to be the King of Shuzhou!
Anyway, we can’t let Qin Zhengqiu take this risk!
He was originally hesitant, but when the sword was really about to be unsheathed, Wei Changtian suddenly made up his mind.
“Bang!”
He stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and the next moment he wanted to put the half-unsheathed sword back into the Star Scabbard.
But at this moment, a huge force suddenly came from the hilt of the sword, causing the sword to be completely unsheathed at this moment, and then shot into Qin Zhengqiu's hand.
"Grandpa! You!!"
Wei Changtian suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth to say something.
But Qin Zhengqiu did not give him this opportunity. He just looked back with a complicated expression, then held the sword in his hand, accelerated, shook off everyone, and rushed straight towards the latest fire that bloomed in the air.
