Chapter 237: Liang County
Taking advantage of the night, out of the town, Li Mu put the leader who couldn't move into the mountains.
After checking repeatedly and making sure that there was no one around, Li Mucai relieved the dumb hole of the leader in front of him, without a trace of emotion, and said in a calm voice: "Don't be in a hurry to die, I have already taken off the poison sac in your mouth, you should still explain it obediently, lest life is worse than death." ”
"Humph!"
The answer to Li Mu was a roll of eyes, plus a cold snort.
"You're guts, but your biggest mistake is that you're still alive! Hunt me down, you want to die if you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid it's not so easy. If you don't cooperate now, you'll beg me later. ”
The leader who was not able to succeed in the sneak attack was captured, and the leader whose hands and feet were tied was curled up, isolated and helpless in this deep mountain and old forest.
His eyes widened as he saw Li Mu take out a wooden box from his bag, and there were all kinds of sharp knives in the box, and even if the assassin leader didn't know what these knives were, he was so frightened that his scalp was numb.
Picking up a scalpel that was more delicate than a brush, Li Mu stared at the leader who gritted his teeth and looked at him as if he was dead, and explained with a smile: "It hasn't started yet, why are you so nervous?" Rest assured, this knife is so small, it won't kill you if you stab it. Besides, how can I be considered a doctor, how can I kill people casually?
However, don't look at this knife as small, it's very sharp, and you can cut into the skin with just a single touch. With the means of my Langzhong scholar, one knife will not kill you, and with your internal cultivation, I estimate that at least one hundred and eighty knives will be in danger of your life.
Of course, I'm here. You can't die. After all, in the capital. Everyone knows that I am a scholar. The medical skills are superb, and even the queen's illness is not a problem. So, you don't have to worry about dying, every time I make you half dead, I'll treat your injuries and stitch them up, and when you're almost done, we'll do it all over again, you see. Luckily? ”
After losing seven killers in a row, the Assassin leader never realized Li Mu's danger.
I always thought that Li Mu was just relying on his light skills to barely break through, but now that he witnessed Li Mu's cruelty, the assassin leader could only sigh, and finally said in recognition of it: "Li Mu, we underestimated you, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply." Forget it, I'm a dead end anyway, I'll say anything, you give it a good time! ”
Three days later. North of Luzhou, one hundred and forty miles away. It's Liang County.
At this time, in the county seat of Liang County, the largest restaurant was contracted by the Yamen, crowded with people, and the sound of firecrackers was endless, which was really lively!
I think this Liang County is just an extremely poor county on the border, with a full population of only 800 households, most of whom are old, young, sick and disabled. It has not been so lively for several years, and when passers-by inquired, they learned that today is the birthday of the county lord Wei Ting.
Although it was not yet time to eat, it was only two o'clock, and the staff of the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, Liu Cao and other public officials of the yamen arrived early.
Nearly noon, another fifty or sixty local gentry poured in, sitting in a sedan chair, carrying generous gifts, whether they knew or not, all with smiles like a spring breeze.
Since it is the county magistrate's birthday, how can this pomp and circumstance be the same as ordinary people. Even if the economic situation of Liang County is difficult, the county can not be ashamed to have a big birthday, and most of the soldiers and soldiers who can be used in the county are temporarily used as ceremonial security personnel.
There are only a dozen unlucky soldiers left who have bad interpersonal relationships on weekdays, and on the festive days of eating, drinking and having fun in the county, they still have to stand guard outside the four city gates of Liangxian County.
Before the Qingming Festival, there was a drizzle, although spring had arrived, and the temperature had warmed up, but at this time, the two poor soldiers standing guard at the south gate were full of resentment in their stomachs.
"Brother Wang, they are too bullying, I have been a soldier for a short time, and I have nothing to say when I stand guard. But Brother Wang, it's really unfair that someone as capable as you should also stand guard with us. ”
"Stand your guard well, don't talk so much nonsense. Our Liang County is the gateway to Luzhou, once lost, Luzhou City will be in danger. Besides, it is his business for the county to have a big birthday, and we just do our duty. ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Wang taught me a lesson. However, our county is really greedy for money, and has done Dark Nine and Ming Nine, and it is clear that he is taking the opportunity to make money, and none of these students are good. ”
"Leopard, shhhh
The soldier called "Brother Wang" by the leopard, although he was dressed very ordinarily, but his fierce appearance, sharp eyes, and tiger's back were considered an outlier among the thin southerners.
As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, he couldn't help but be a little nervous as he clenched his spear. After all, the magistrate of the county has a big birthday, and the defense in the city is empty, if the Mongols suddenly attack, the city will be broken only in the maki.
Fortunately, the worries of the soldier surnamed Wang were unnecessary, and as far as the eye could see, not far from the south gate of the city, a young man in a purple brocade robe rode a horse, from far to near, as if he did not want to check and was about to break into the city.
Bai was nervous for a long time, almost thinking that the Mongols were coming, and lost face in front of the recruits, and the soldier surnamed Wang stabbed out with a shot, which happened to intercept the purple knight's crossing.
The horses under the crotch, which were only newly acquired recently, had a low tacit understanding, and a sudden braking almost knocked the Li Mu on the horseback to the ground. Fortunately, Li Mu's equestrian skills are good, and his skills are not bad, so he hurriedly grabbed the reins and clamped the horse's belly to stabilize his body, and then scolded angrily: "What are you doing, you are looking for death?" ”
"You're just looking for death, and you're responsible for running into the city and knocking down pedestrians? Hurry up and get off the horse and check! ”
This soldier surnamed Wang is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Today, the county magistrate has a big birthday, and those with status and status have gone to watch the ceremony, and the poor who have no money have also gone to see the excitement. At the deserted city gate, there was not half a ghost except for the two poor gatekeepers.
Too lazy to worry about a gatekeeper, Li Mu rode on a horse, indifferent to the words of the soldier in front of him, and scolded: "Don't you have long eyes? I'm wearing a public uniform, what else do I need to check, and I've delayed time, are you responsible? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what about a public uniform, what if you are a spy of the Mongols? Hurry up and get off the horse and get checked, or don't blame me for not having a long spear in my hand. "I hate Li Mu the most for being an unruly and powerful guy, the more Li Mu doesn't let him check, the more this soldier surnamed Wang has to get along with Li Mu.
"Yo drink, it's really a poor mountain and bad water, you people on the border like to have nothing to do, right? If you want to do it, I'm afraid you won't make it. ”
Riding on a horse, with the help of the saddle, Li Mu flew directly off the horse, clicked on the acupoint of another soldier nearby, grabbed the spear in the opponent's hand, and then attacked the soldier surnamed Wang who only reacted at this time with a stab.
Even if Li Mu suddenly made a move, the soldier surnamed Wang was caught off guard and was at a disadvantage, but he did not lose his proportion, and fought and retreated, while retreating into the city, he shouted that the thief entered the city.
This Liang County was not big, and the soldier surnamed Wang shouted in a loud voice, and suddenly the magistrate and others at the birthday banquet were half shocked.
After the team came out to surround Li Mu, Li Mu took out the appointment documents and official seals in front of a group of old and young masters and said:
"Xiaguan Li Mu, the chief secretary of the horse supervisor of Liang County, come to report!" (To be continued.) )
