Chapter 575: Bandit Siege
Li Tianqi's mind was full of Ouyang Xueying's unique charming figure, and he used the bonfire to burn the rattan tied to his body, so that he could be free, and quickly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and put the gold seal badges and secret letters hidden on the side back into his arms, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that the three demon maidens would not turn back again, so he picked up the fish from the haystack and roasted them.
After eating, it was already dark, and the feeling of sleepiness crept in, but the roar of the beast around him from time to time forced him to continue walking.
Feng Xiao Xiao has a long way to go, but he is in a slightly better mood at the moment, and it is his greatest comfort to know that Qiqige and Zhuo Ke are no longer in the realm of dreams, but they still fall into the hands of a masked man, which still can't be relieved, but he really has no clue, so he has to go to Chang'an first according to his original idea.
Baili Fumo Ridge is also very difficult to walk during the day, let alone at night, Li Tianqi held a torch made of pine resin, and hurried to spend an hour walking less than three miles, from time to time from the grass or woods out of some frightened hares and beasts, really let him always stay vigilant, he had suffered the loss of the three banshees, naturally did not dare to relax in the slightest.
This moment reminded him of the scene when he stepped out of Qingshui Village, the difference was that now he already had a mysterious spell in his body, and he also had Qimen Dunjia and the red sandalwood Buddha bead bracelet.
Except for the barren grass and thorn bushes in his eyes, and there was no cave to live in, although the moon was already in the middle of the sky, Li Tianqi still dragged his tired body and moved forward.
He was indeed very tired at the moment, and desperately wanted to find a safe place to rest for a few hours.
Looking at the starry eyes, he didn't want to rise into the air like Ouyang Xueying, and went to Chang'an to find a comfortable inn to sleep in a moment.
Li Tianqi couldn't help but look at his palm and muttered, "Alas...... Heaven's book, heaven's book, when will I be able to control you? As he spoke, he shook his hand and hit the bushes on one side, "Overwhelming!" ”
"Whew!" Except for the dust on his left foot, there was no movement in the bushes.
The pine resin burned with a sizzling sound, black smoke was ethereal, and the lonely shadow of the ancient road seemed lonely.
As he was walking, Li Tianqi felt that his feet were tight, and he actually stepped on the lasso trap, and was hung upside down on the tree on the side of the road, and the torch he was holding in his hand also fell to the ground.
On both sides of the road, more than a dozen big men suddenly burst out, holding sharp weapons such as bright knives and holding torches.
The man at the head of the group was full of flesh and looked domineering, and he approached Li Tianqi surrounded by his subordinates, "Yo, it doesn't look like a rich man." ”
"Not honest yet!" The two bandits each picked up a stick that was eight feet long and hit Li Tianqi, who was arching his body and trying to untie the rope that bound his ankles.
Li Tianqi snorted, so he had to hang down again, swinging around, "You are bandits? I've got some silver taels on me, take them with you, and let me go!" ”
"Bandit...... Hehe, you kid still know each other. Looks like he has some skills. No wonder he dared to walk alone at night. The leader of the bandits did not admit it, but he did not deny it, he smiled and asked, "Say, who are you going?" ”
Li Tianqi said casually: "I'm just a passerby, and I'm going to Xiangyang." ”
Next to the bandit leader stood a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and he said to the bandit leader: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense with him, take the silver and make him, right?" ”
The bandit leader glared and said, "You know a fart!" Now that he is in troubled times, Tufan and Nanzhao are at war with the imperial court, do you dare to guarantee that he is not this state or a fine work sent by the imperial court? If Fanbang really defeated the imperial court, or the imperial court won, wouldn't they all come to Lao Tzu to settle accounts? It's not a big deal to mess around with some money, you said you were going to kill him, maybe ......"
"Yes, yes, big brother is right." The sharp-beaked monkey gills saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and hurriedly flattered.
The bandit leader said: "Hurry up and take the money!" ”
"Okay." The sharp-beaked monkey gills hurriedly called someone to step forward and take out the silver on Li Tianqi's body.
Li Tianqi was hanging in the air at this time, and the other party was a dozen or so path-cutting bandits with various weapons, and when he heard that they were just asking for silver, he didn't pay much attention to things outside his body such as money, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
A sturdy man threw the big knife in his hand to his accomplice, and then stepped forward to touch the bag in Li Tianqi's arms.
Before the silver could be touched, the man took out the secret letter, and for fear of fraud, he did not dare to make the decision on his own, so he handed the secret letter to the bandit leader.
The sharp-beaked monkey cheek just glanced at the secret letter, and immediately said, "Sure enough, it's the eldest brother, it's really a god!" And sure enough...... Sure enough......"
The bandit leader waved his hand and said, "Put it back to him, we only need silver." ”
"Yes." The sturdy man hurriedly stuffed the secret letter into Li Tianqi's arms, and this time he took out not only the broken silver, but also a gold seal badge and crystal.
"Big brother, this is a gold medal! There is also a rare crystal. The stout man was elated, and walked briskly, presenting the broken silver and gold medals before the bandit leader.
"Hmm." The bandit leader glanced at it, "It's not in vain tonight's trip." Brothers, I'll wait to get back! ”
"Big brother, wait." The sharp-beaked monkey cheek picked up the gold seal badge, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The bandit leader whispered, "What? What's the oddity? ”
Li Tianqi didn't speak, he was afraid that they would have bad intentions, and he wouldn't be able to break free from the rope for a while, which would be a bit troublesome.
The Golden Seal Badge was a token of the Assassin Alliance, and the crystal was also related to the Southwest Battalion, so he had already made up his mind to show the enemy weakness first, and when he could go down to the ground, he could sneak into their lair at night to retrieve it, and keeping himself safe was the key at this time.
Fang saw that they were about to leave, and they were secretly glad to be happy, but this group of people stopped again this time, and they were really a little apprehensive.
The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said, "Big brother, can you recognize who owns this golden seal badge?" ”
The bandit leader shook his head and said, "How do you know this old man, isn't it just a gold medal?" It will be dissolved later. Let's go, catch a fat sheep, and it's worth it tonight. ”
"Wait, big brother, little brother, although I have never seen this kind of gold seal badge, but I seem to have heard of it." The sharp-beaked monkey squinted its eyes.
The bandit leader was a little impatient and said, "If you have something to say, what's the matter?" ”
"Big brother, please take a step to speak."
"It's a nuisance." Although the bandit leader said this, seeing that his accomplice was so solemn, he had to follow the other party to the side.
The sharp-beaked monkey lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, have you heard of the Assassin Alliance?" ”
The bandit leader gasped and said in surprise: "What? This...... Is there a connection to this? ”
The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said, "Big brother, the younger cousin can be mixed up in the League of Assassins, but then he is missing, the little one once remembered that he once described such a thing to the younger brother after drinking." It seems that only the hall master will carry it with him. ”
"You mean this kid is the master of the League of Assassins?" The bandit leader quietly glanced back at Li Tianqi, only to see Li Tianqi hanging quietly under the tree, without any movement.
The sharp-beaked monkey cheek said, "Yes." Big brother, you see that kid looks calm, he must have a bad idea in his heart. He wants to take advantage of my departure to get out first, and then settle accounts with me. What's more, the League of Assassins is a mysterious organization, they are all ruthless, even if he doesn't retaliate at this time, I don't know if he will come to seek revenge in the future. Big brother, hurry up and get an idea, and it's a hundred times over him. ”
The bandit leader said, "Oh Buddha Buddha, it seems that your kid really wants to kill him." Originally, it wasn't the first time I had done it to kill people and sell goods, but Lao Tzu saw that his face was quite honest, and somehow moved his heart of compassion......"
"Big brother, to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. What's more, we robbed him of gold and silver, even if we don't kill him, the court may move troops to suppress it in the future, not to mention that he is still a member of the Assassin Alliance, which is ironclad. ”
The bandit leader gritted his teeth and said, "Good! If you don't do it, you are right, it seems that Lao Tzu can't be a good person if he wants to, just kill it. ”
The sharp-beaked monkey grinned and secretly gave a thumbs up to the bandit leader, "The boss is wise." ”
The two turned around, and Li Tianqi sensitively sensed the ominousness, and couldn't help but quietly take out a paper talisman from his sleeve pocket and squeeze it in his hand.
"Put a face on him and kill him." The sharp-beaked monkey gills commanded decisively.
A few men watching him beside Li Tianqi hurriedly rummaged through the cloth bag, and Li Tianqi took the opportunity to throw out the fire talisman and stick it to the rope tied to the tree branch.
"Yo! I also know how to spell! The sharp-beaked monkey was startled, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately shouted at the top of his throat: "Kill, give it to me together!" ”
The dozen or so men held big knives and long sticks, and rushed up, it seemed that Li Tianqi could no longer move and dodge, and although the rope tied to his ankle had been ignited by the fire charm, it would continue to burn for a while.
Seeing that the bright blades had been slashed from all sides, and the sticks were also smashed towards him with a strong wind, in a hurry, Li Tianqi couldn't help but perform the move of "overwhelming the mountains and seas" that had not worked before.
Strange to say, he has been thinking about how to cast it but it always fails, but in a hurry, it has a miraculous effect: but seeing that his palms have not yet been completely shot, several strong winds have surged down from his palms to the surroundings, and for a while the wind is fierce, flying sand and stones.
The dozen or so big men couldn't hold the weapons in their hands, and they were all blown into a mess by that burst of energy, and fell out a few feet away, and all the torches were extinguished at this moment.
