Chapter 210 The Annoying Guest Arrives
Upon hearing Chen Wen's words, Liang Kuan immediately thought of the White Lotus Sect.
The people there seemed to have the shadow of the Boxers, yet they were causing havoc and committing all sorts of evil deeds among the people in the Lingnan region.
Yan Zhendong was also a hero from the Boxer Rebellion.
These Blue Lanterns, though they are considered to be from the Boxer Rebellion, what kind of thing are they doing now?
He was suddenly unsure whether he should take action.
But he immediately understood.
Who cares if they were the Boxers or whatever before? Now they're harming the people and doing evil, so they deserve to be beaten!
At this time.
The blue streetlights downstairs have driven everyone away.
Instead of leaving, they hid in twos and threes at the alley entrance and climbed onto the rooftops, clutching knives and guns, their eyes fixed on the direction of the town entrance.
"Who are they lying in ambush for!" Liang Kuan whispered.
Nine-Jin peeked through the window crack and said anxiously, "Young Master! These people are acting suspiciously; they're definitely up to no good! I wonder who they're planning to harm this time!"
Chen Wen smiled and said, "Harm people? I haven't seen it yet."
"These guys were a bit domineering, but they only cleared the area and kicked people out; they didn't fight or rob anyone, so they were already being quite polite."
"You've never seen anything like it. Some people, in order to ambush their opponents, will drag the entire city's inhabitants down with them as human shields."
Tan Sitong nodded upon hearing this.
"That's right—even among the 'rebels,' not all are evil."
As he spoke, he gave Chen Wen a meaningful look, as if waiting for some kind of reaction.
Unfortunately, Chen Wen remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Just then, a suppressed wail and chaotic footsteps came from the entrance of the town.
A dark mass of people surged in, families in tow, dressed in tattered clothes, their faces pale and thin, their eyes numb.
They were refugees who had fled from disaster.
Looking at this tragic scene, Tan Sitong clenched his fists, his face filled with sorrow: "The people of this world are suffering too much—"
"Sir, look!" Liang Kuan suddenly pointed to the middle of the crowd of disaster victims.
Chen Wen calmly replied, "I saw it."
Tan Sitong was taken aback at first, then looked more closely at the line of disaster victims.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically!
Among those disaster victims, there were quite a few guys wearing shirts with the character "勇" (yong, meaning brave/courageous) mixed in!
"Oh no! Soldiers have mingled with the disaster victims!"
Now they all understood.
The blue lights illuminate the soldiers lying in ambush!
Originally, the Blue Lantern police and the soldiers fighting amongst themselves had nothing to do with them, but now that so many innocent disaster victims are caught in the middle, they will definitely suffer if a fight breaks out!
"Nine catties!" Tan Sitong immediately whispered, "Prepare to rescue people! Seize the opportunity and protect the civilians!"
The voice just fell.
Whoosh!
A stray arrow shot out from nowhere, swift and deadly, and pierced the throat of an archer with a blue lantern on the opposite rooftop!
The man fell down without uttering a sound.
"kill!"
Almost simultaneously, the soldiers disguised as refugees in the pile of disaster victims suddenly drew their sabers and spears.
It roared and pounced towards the blue lights illuminating the ambushes on both sides of the street!
The man who led the firing of arrows was agile and had a cold, sharp eye; it was none other than Yuan Shikai!
"You lackeys of the imperial court! Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Yuan Shikai, prepare to die!"
The Blue Lantern agents jumped out of their hiding places, brandishing their weapons as they charged forward.
A flurry of swords and shadows erupted in the street in an instant!
The sounds of shouts, clashing weapons, and angry roars mingled together.
But even more jarring than that were the heart-wrenching screams of the disaster victims!
These people were already starving and suffering, and now they were caught up in this chaotic fighting, and they were all terrified.
Crying and screaming, they were like headless flies bumping around in the flashing blades.
Both sides were blinded by rage and didn't care about these people.
Accidental injuries, trampling, or even outright attacks on the elderly, weak, women, and children because they were in the way!
In the blink of an eye, several civilians lay in pools of blood, their hands and feet severed, a truly gruesome sight.
"Stop! Don't hurt the innocent!" Tan Sitong's eyes turned red as he watched, and he suddenly pushed open the window and shouted.
But his voice sounded so powerless amidst the deafening shouts of battle.
"Nine catties!" Tan Sitong turned around and shouted urgently, only to see a figure flash beside him!
Chen Wen and Liang Kuan leaped out of the window like two arrows and rushed straight into that hellish battlefield!
"Young Master! I'll go help!" Jiu Jin's blood boiled, and he jumped down as well.
Tan Sitong was shocked and, without further hesitation, lifted the hem of his long robe and jumped down as well.
The phrase "different paths" that Chen Wen had mentioned earlier flashed through my mind.
But at this moment, seeing this person rush down to save people without hesitation.
At least for now, they are on the same path!
The streets were in complete chaos.
Chen Wen instantly rushed into the battlefield, not targeting any particular side, but focusing only on the disaster victims in danger.
A man with a blue light, his eyes bloodshot, swung his knife at a terrified child sitting on the ground.
Chen Wen appeared in front of him in a flash, grabbed his wrist with his left hand and twisted it.
The bone snapped with a crack.
He casually pushed the child to the corner of the wall.
The man screamed and fell to the ground. Chen Wen didn't even look at him; he had already lunged to the other side.
A Qing soldier grinned maliciously as he raised his spear and thrust it at an old man with a full head of white hair!
Liang Kuan, on the other hand, has a different playing style.
They were fierce and ruthless, and specifically targeted those who were most ruthless towards ordinary people.
Just as a Qing soldier's underling slashed open the back of a refugee with his knife, Liang Kuan rushed in from the side and delivered a heavy punch to his temple, knocking the man unconscious without a sound.
Nine-Jin is young and hot-tempered; he'll beat up anyone who gets in his way.
A Qing soldier swung his sword, which he nimbly dodged, kicked the soldier to the ground, snatched the sword, and shouted, "Get out of the way! Don't get in the way of saving people!"
Tan Sitong also rushed to the center of the street.
As he struggled to drag the terrified victims under the eaves of shops along the street, he anxiously shouted to the fighting crowd, "Stop! These people are innocent!"
But his shouts sounded so naive amidst the bloody battle.
With Chen Wen and his group causing such a commotion, the battlefield situation immediately descended into chaos.
Yuan Shikai was directing his men to besiege the Blue Lantern rebels when he caught sight of the situation. His brow furrowed sharply, and he thought with surprise, "Where did these experts come from? They're incredibly fast!"
Although Tan Sitong knew early on that Chen Wen was no ordinary person.
But seeing him move freely amidst the flashing swords and ruthless attacks, far exceeding his expectations, he was secretly astonished.
The Blue Light team was even more furious.
Their carefully laid ambush was first exposed by Yuan Shikai, and now several unknown and difficult individuals have emerged to interfere.
A Blue Lantern gang leader roared in fury, "Where did this bastard come from! Are they in cahoots with the corrupt officials?! Aiding and abetting evil! Brothers, kill these troublemakers first!"
the other side.
Tao An also noticed Chen Wen and his group of four. While parrying the attacks from the Blue Lanterns, he urgently said to Yuan Shikai, "Sir! Those people—they don't seem to be part of the rebel gang? They're rescuing people!"
"Should we let the people leave first?"
Yuan Shikai narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Wen in the crowd, his gaze flickering. He raised his hand to stop Tao An: "Let's see first."
