Chapter 570: Night Battle
Li Cheng stood straight in the woods behind the villa like a javelin, looked at the villa dozens of steps away, frowned and whispered to the people around him: "Are you sure the person we are looking for is inside?"
"Absolutely sure!" the middle-aged man bowed slightly and whispered, "Senior Brother Wang and I tracked down here yesterday and found that not only Li Hui was here, but even her long-missing apprentice was there. ”
"Oh, that's kind of interesting. Li Cheng muttered to himself in a low voice: "It seems that Master Li Hui and apprentice have been preparing to go against the old man, hmph, this time we must wipe them out, so that others can see the fate of going against me!"
"With you coming forward in person, Master Li Hui's apprentice is in danger this time!" The middle-aged man hurriedly patted Li Cheng's sycophants, and then added: "But there is another young man in the villa, probably in his twenties, who should be the owner here." ”
Li Cheng said disappreciatively: "This is also normal, with the ability of Li Hui's master and apprentice, how can they afford such a villa? They must be serving people with lust, so they tricked the master here into letting the two of them live, do you need to think about it?"
"yes, yes, or you're thoughtful. The middle-aged man nodded again and again, thinking of the appearance and figure of Li Hui's master and apprentice, and involuntarily swallowed his saliva, and at the same time thought in his heart: "I don't know if the old one fascinated the young man or the small one, tsk...... Anyway, the owner here is not shallow!"
Li Cheng is old, and he has no interest in women. Naturally, he didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, so he just said coldly: "Our action this time is not trivial, we can't leave a single survivor! Since the master here takes in Li Hui's master and apprentice, he will have to pay the price for what he has done." After getting the token. Let's deal with him and Li Hui's master and apprentice together!"
"Those two beautiful women. It's about to be dealt with, it's really a tyrannical thing!" Li Cheng's words made the middle-aged man secretly cry out in his heart that it was a pity, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Cheng's orders, and quickly replied respectfully: "Obey!"
Li Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly: "Li Hui has been injured, and her apprentice is like that, as long as you are careful, there will be no problems, act as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" the middle-aged man replied dryly. Then he gestures to the surroundings to indicate that the action has officially begun.
As Xiang Sheng said, although Jiang Ping had killed the triangular eye and the gorilla without a trace, Li Cheng still found Jiang Ping's villa by investigating the location where the two last appeared.
After all, the thief door is a thousand-year-old sect, and it has some skills that are not known to outsiders. Although Li Cheng has a poor character, he is also one of the three elders who steal the door after all, and this thing is still difficult for him.
However, the movements of Li Cheng's men were still a beat slower, and by the time they found Jiang Ping's villa, Xiang Sheng had already set up an ambush in advance. With the skills of these people. Of course, it is impossible to find Xiang Sheng who can hide his traces. So when they reported to Li Cheng, they all said that there were only three people in the villa, including Li Hui's master and apprentice.
From beginning to end, Li Cheng and his men. It's all about paying attention to Li Hui's master and apprentice. As for Jiang Ping, who is the owner of the villa, no one takes him to heart at all, and everyone thinks that he is just an ordinary person. It's just that they didn't expect that it was this "ordinary person" who was the one to really pay attention to. If it weren't for Jiang Ping, Li Hui's master and apprentice would have been arrested a long time ago, and there would be no current situation at all.
The middle-aged man and a few others quickly approached the villa in the dark woods. These people are Li Cheng's right-hand men, and they are all elite disciples who steal the door. For them, sneaking quickly in the dark like the one they have now is completely the most basic basic skill, and it is not even the slightest difficulty.
The group quietly made their way through the dark woods, making a sound similar to that of a squirrel weaving through the woods. On such a moonless night, they had absolute confidence not to be discovered by the people in the villa.
In fact, at the same moment, Jiang Ping was sitting in the study of the villa, observing the situation outside through several screens.
Although it was dark outside, there were no searchlights on the roof of the villa. But the infrared camera still allows Jiang Ping to see his surroundings clearly, for example, now he can clearly see that five or six people are approaching the villa from the direction of the woods.
Since Xiang Sheng said that Li Cheng would definitely come to the door, Jiang Ping began to prepare various means of defense. This set of infrared cameras was also obtained by him through Nicholas. In order to ensure the safety of everyone and the villa, Jiang Ping and Lan Ke'er were divided into two shifts, regardless of day and night. As for Xiang Sheng, he hasn't shown up since he came that day, although he doesn't know where he is, Jiang Ping can be sure that Xiang Sheng is around.
As for Li Hui, because she had not recovered from her serious injuries, Xiang Sheng and Jiang Ping strictly ordered her to stay in bed, and the matter of stealing the door token had nothing to do with Li Hui.
However, Li Hui is a very strong woman, and she didn't really care about this matter because of this. In addition to going to the balcony every day to bask in the sun as a bait, she also insisted on being on duty for three hours a day before monitoring.
Although for Li Hui, who had just been injured, it was still a bit difficult to do so. But she has always been accustomed to a life of wandering, and these few days are very regular, which also makes Li Hui feel very down-to-earth.
It's just that every time she faces Jiang Ping alone, Li Hui feels a little uncomfortable, only to feel that her heart is beating hard, and her cheeks are frighteningly hot.
This change also made Li Hui very helpless, after all, she is no longer a girl with a spring, and it is really unreasonable to have such a reaction when facing a man who is much younger than herself.
However, there is a saying that "deceiving yourself is the hardest", although Li Hui is reluctant to admit it, but she also knows that this young man has inexplicably occupied a very important position in her heart.
In order to avoid this embarrassment of herself, Li Hui always tried her best not to be alone with Jiang Ping. Even on duty before the monitoring, knowing that Jiang Ping was coming to take over, she would leave a few minutes early.
Tonight, Jiang Ping had just taken over, and he found that an unidentified person was approaching the villa. On such a dark and windy night, the group sneaked up on the villa with obvious ill intentions. It also proves that Xiang Sheng's words are right, Li Cheng will indeed not give up, and he also has the ability to find this place.
"This is forcing buddies to catch you all. Seeing those unknown guys getting closer and closer, Jiang Ping couldn't help but mutter: "I hope that old guy Li Cheng is also here, so that he can solve this once and for all!"
Li Cheng's men moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they came to a place less than twenty meters away from the villa. Sure that these guys were indeed coming for the villa, Jiang Ping picked up the walkie-talkie at hand and whispered: "Everyone, pay attention, there are guests coming to the door!"
Lan Ke'er was the first to react, and immediately reported to Jiang Ping through the walkie-talkie: "Got it, I'll rush to the gate!"
After Lan Ke'er, Jiang Ping heard a string of rhythmic tapping sounds, which turned out to be Morse code. You don't have to think about it to know that this is Xiang Sheng's reply. It was obviously inconvenient for him to speak now, so he told Jiang Ping in this way that he was nearby and was ready.
As for the injured Li Hui, Jiang Ping didn't count her into the combat strength at all. After informing Lan Keer and Xiang Sheng, Jiang Ping himself also left the monitoring room and came to the large terrace on the top floor of the villa.
On a sunny day, the terrace offers a panoramic view of the woods. The few thieves in the woods who were very close to the villa naturally couldn't escape Jiang Ping's eyes.
But in the dark of night, neither side could see where the other was. Even if Jiang Ping knew in his heart that the other party had come to a place only a few dozen meters away from the villa, the situation had not changed in any way.
However, the development of science and technology has always allowed human beings to break through their own limitations and do things that were impossible before. For example, the current Jiang Ping took out a portable infrared night vision device and put it on, so the silhouettes of Li Cheng's subordinates immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
Although the picture Jiang Ping saw was black and white, this did not affect his judgment. Seeing those people come to the side of the villa wall, and then help each other climb up the wall, the corners of Jiang Ping's mouth also showed a sneer.
These people were in the woods before, and Jiang Ping didn't want to do anything to them. And now that they have invaded Jiang Ping's private territory, he has unlimited defense, even if he kills these guys on the spot, it is not a crime.
In fact, Jiang Ping was at this moment, he gently took out the crossbow arrows prepared in advance, wound them and added the crossbow arrows, and aimed them at a guy who was squatting on the wall and shot them out.
"Whoosh!" In the silence of the night, the sound of the arrow breaking seemed particularly distinct. The guys who were climbing over the wall must have heard it too, Jiang Ping could see clearly through the night vision device, and the movements of several people were all obvious.
It's a pity that such a dark night not only covered Li Cheng's men, but also made them unable to see the crossbow arrows fired in secret. But in the blink of an eye, the crossbow arrow pierced the target's chest. The unfortunate man tumbled backwards without saying a word, and fell hard to the outside of the wall. With the strength of the crossbow arrow and the part that Jiang Ping was aiming at, this guy would definitely not survive.
The other people who were attacked were also a little panicked, some continued to jump into the courtyard, and some wanted to retreat. For a moment, the walls were in a mess, and they weren't as quiet as they had just been.
Jiang Ping took in all this through the night vision device, and the smile on his face became more obvious. Of course, he hoped that the more chaotic the enemy, the better, so that it would be easier to deal with them.
So Jiang Ping reached out to grab the arrow placed at his feet, preparing to continue sniping the other party. However, instead of touching the arrow, he touched a warm, soft slender hand. (To be continued......)
