Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into temples Chapter 172 I'd rather die than retreat
When night fell, when everyone was asleep, one man and one horse left the official post and galloped eastward.
This night, Ye Chen and Wei Mei and the others stayed up all night, only hoping that the other party's attack would be as late as possible.
Just after the hour, Ye Chen heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the post house, and immediately got up and came to the window to observe the situation, and at the same time, Zou Hu gently knocked on the wall of the isolation mission and the general goods room, in the next mission room that everyone could not see, Wei also knocked on the other wall at the same time, and there were probes in the three rooms to observe the situation outside the inn.
At the door of the official post, a middle-aged man showed a token to the guy, and soon put it in his arms, and after the two whispered a few words, the middle-aged man immediately trotted into the official post with more than a dozen people behind him. At this moment, the old soldier appeared, and he stopped in front of everyone alone, but he had more than enough strength but was not enough, and was knocked unconscious by two strong men and dragged to the firewood room.
"We were discovered by the inspectors, and half of them were missing, so it was not easy to come."
"Inspectorate?"
"Dog, I don't know how to find us, I feel like I'm following us in the city of Annando."
Although the night was dark, Ye Chen could still clearly see the long knives on the sides of more than a dozen people through the moonlight, and the bad feeling in his heart intensified.
The group entered the hall and sat around the square table, and after a while, the door to another room was opened, and a dark figure crept down the stairs.
"Why are you here now, a full hour later than the appointed time?"
Just as the black shadow was discussing with the middle-aged man, a man with a mask shrouded in darkness quietly appeared behind the two: "They are all friends, not enemies!" ”
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he jumped out, and then turned around and drew his knife and slashed, and the dozen or so people he brought brought drew their knives at the same time when they saw this.
What surprised Ye Chen upstairs was not these people who wanted to kill them, but the man with a mask shrouded in black robes, the masked ghost who once dominated the underground black market in Annan Province!
"Are you still doing it?"
"Elder Li has spoken, they die tonight, we are all rich, they don't die, we all die!"
"Damn, it's the easternmost two rooms upstairs, and there are three more people in the grocery room. But there was a group of people when we came in, and it didn't look like a good stubble. ”
The masked ghost said, "How you got in, that's how I got in." Then he took out something from the black robe and put it in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took a look and said in surprise: "How is it the same as our token?" ”
"What comes out of a place, or rather our purpose is the same." Seeing that the middle-aged man was still suspicious, the masked ghost shouted in a deep voice: "He killed my own brother, do you say I want to kill him!" ”
Since Yan Er's death, the masked ghost has disappeared in Annan Province, and no trace of him can be found in any way. Qin Xiaoqin once connected with the Wanxiang Hall through Li Wei of the Thousand Households of Gyeonggi Province, trying to find out the traces of the masked ghost through the omniscient Wanxiang Hall, but still found nothing.
The masked ghost looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with a sneer: "I don't care if you want to kill the people of the mission tonight, even the few good men I brought upstairs can help you, but the leader of the Chinese country who escorted the mission must die in my hands!" ”
The middle-aged man was skeptical and asked, "How do I know that you are not in the same group as them, this is an official post!" ”
"Then I'll kill you first, and then I'll settle accounts with your good brother!" After speaking, the masked ghost turned his head and yelled at the middle-aged man beside him: "What are you still doing in a daze, if the people of the mission run away, you will all die!" ”
The middle-aged man didn't dare to stay for a moment, and rushed upstairs with people!
On the second floor, there was no one in the room of the envoys of the two countries, except for the ghosts and charms. At the time of the child, the envoys of the two countries were ordered by Ye Chen to gather in the grocery room where he was.
The middle-aged man didn't say a word, and casually threw the token to the masked ghost, just as everyone was about to go upstairs, Chen Bing, Hu Jie and others who were resting in the stable in the backyard of the inn suddenly rushed into the hall, Chen Bing shouted: "I already knew that you were coming, buddy has been waiting here for a long time." ”
The masked ghost was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I recognize you, you are the fart worm next to Ye Chen!"
Chen Bing scolded angrily: "Let your mother's fart, see if Lao Tzu won't tear up your stinky mouth for a while." ”
Ye Chen nodded and went out with a knife, and before closing the door, he commanded Zou Hu and Xiao: "We can all die, they must not be injured!" The two of them clenched their fists and took their lives.
Casada: "Hua has a strong man like Er, and heaven will not tolerate it if he is not strong!" ”
Ye Chen couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the enemies in the hall downstairs who were three times his size. Seeing Chen Bing and Hu Jie fighting with the masked ghost, they were very anxious, but they couldn't go down to help, because there were already two people climbing the stairs to the corridor in front of them. Drawing a knife and slashing down one person, Ye Chen jumped up together, and hit his knees on the chest of the second person, who rolled directly down the stairs and hit the three or four murderers who were about to go upstairs behind him.
Looking at the four envoys sitting on the dusty broken cabinet, Ye Chen clasped his fists and bowed, and said: "I have wronged a few adults, some little thieves will be encountered after all, and if we don't solve it, we won't be able to live in peace!" ”
Casada, the head of the mission of the First Dove Kingdom, hurriedly stepped forward to support Ye Chen's arms, and said gratefully: "We are nothing, we have been assassinated once in our country, and we also know that the journey to Gyeonggi is dangerous, but it has only affected your adults. Casada said that he hugged his fists and bent down to salute Ye Chen, Zou Hu, and Xiao, and was also supported by Ye Chen's arms, and said with a smile: "My lord can't help it, this is where my duty lies!" ”
Akubei, the envoy of the Lille Kingdom on the side, stood up and saluted at the same time, and said, "Thank you, little brother!" ”
Ye Chen stood at the head of the wooden staircase, and he couldn't open it!
In the firewood room, the old soldier was tied hand and foot, gagged, looked at the guy lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and roared heartbreakingly, but he couldn't roar. He came a few years later than himself, and was once a scout of the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, called Xiaohe. Because he was bitten by An Lifei when he was spying on the military situation on the frontier, he rode his horse for a hundred miles, and his nine scouts all died in cover, just so that he could bring the information back to the border pass and hand it over to the general Tang Shuwei! Although Xiaohe lived up to the trust, he was seriously injured, and his right leg was also destroyed by a crossbow arrow, and he was ready to spend the rest of his life in this Lin Ziting official post from then on. But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, Xiaohe was killed, and none of the other guys were spared, only the old soldier survived!
At the staircase on the second floor, Ye Chen stood tall with a knife, one slashed over one, and two slashed over a pair. But condescending is not completely dominant, his legs don't know how many kicks, looking at the bloody wound on his left calf, Ye Chen gritted his teeth, cut off a strip of cloth and tied it to continue to resist the fierce attack, he knew that he couldn't retreat, because the person behind him was not only the envoy of the two countries, but also the face of Huaguo! He remembered that Lord Huangfu had said that he could die, but Huaguo's face could not be lost, because it was bought with the blood of countless loyal souls!
