Chapter 514: The Poppy Flowers Withered
Xiao Yuniang went back to get her clothes, but when she returned to the secret house, she unexpectedly found that there was one more person in the house, a girl in a black samurai uniform, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face, sitting in the inner hall and talking happily with her wife.
The little fish lady is almost crazy, this is a secret house, how can there be guests?
Seeing that Madame was chatting happily with the visitors, and it was not easy to disturb her, she had to pull Aqiu aside and ask, "Which woman is from where is it?" ”
"I came from Bashu and lived in Jianzhou, and my wife is talking to her about the situation in Jianzhou!"
Xiao Yu Niang stomped her foot angrily, "I'm asking how she found here?" No one knows here. ”
Ah Qiu blinked her eyes wide, and said with an innocent face: "I don't know, she just knocked on the door and said that she came to visit Madame, it seems that she has a good identity." ”
Xiao Yuniang suddenly found a pair of bows and arrows at the door of the inner hall, she was stunned for a moment, thought of something, pulled out her sword and rushed in with a gust of wind, Ah Qiu didn't hold her, and secretly complained.
Xiao Yuniang rushed into the inner hall, pointed her sword at the woman in black and said, "Who are you?" ”
Xue Tao's face sank, "Little Fish Niang, don't be rude, put down the sword quickly!" ”
"Madam, it's the person she shot the Xinfeng sheepskin shop last night!"
The girl in black smiled, "You're only halfway there, I also shot an arrow letter, otherwise why would you have moved here?" ”
"Sure enough, it's you!" Xiao Yu Niang hated and said, that arrow almost hit herself.
Xue Tao was angry and funny: "Don't be so suspicious, Miss Dugu is here to help us, she wants to kill me a long time ago." ”
Xiao Yuniang was right to think about it, so she had to put down her sword and asked unwillingly, "You have been spying on us?" ”
"Why should I spy on you?"
The girl in black smiled and shook her head, "It's just you..... Ay! How can anyone move like you, take a carriage out with great fanfare, and come directly to the secret house, if the people from the Sword Pavilion are staring at you, there is no point in you moving. ”
"So how do you move?"
"Five identical wagons come out and go in different directions, and then you hunt the stalkers behind."
Xiao Yuniang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly deflated, she really didn't think of this way.
The girl in black smiled again: "Actually, it's okay! The people from the Hidden Sword Pavilion are still in Liangzhou, I have already checked it for you, and there is no one to watch. ”
"Are you the Flying Fox Guard of the Dugu family?" The little fish lady asked again.
"I'm from the Dugu family, but I'm not a flying fox guard, I'm just helping them run errands."
Xue Tao introduced to Xiao Yuniang: "This girl is Dugu Youlan, after discovering the movement of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, she rushed to Ganzhou to help us. ”
"Why does the Hidden Sword Pavilion keep staring at us?" Xiao Yu Niang asked suspiciously.
The girl in black smiled slightly: "It should be said that Li Man is staring at you, Zhu Jun has stopped allocating money to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Hidden Sword Pavilion can't be maintained, and it will be disbanded soon, before the disbandment, Li Man is going to do a big thing, she will keep an eye on you, I heard my grandfather say that she should have a personal vendetta with your son-in-law." ”
After a pause, the girl in black said again: "The timing she chose is very accurate, your son led a large army to expedition to Guanzhong, the rear is empty, and the precautions are relatively lax, if there is a large-scale assassination overnight, the Hexi army will collapse, which shows her viciousness." ”
"So what to do?" Next to him, Xue Tao asked worriedly.
"Sister Xue, don't worry, I still have a few companions, they are the people of the Flying Fox Guard, they are monitoring Li Man and them in Liangzhou, once the other party has any movement, they will immediately contact General Wang Yue."
Xue Tao nodded and instructed Ah Qiu: "Go and clean up a room and let the Dugu girl live." ”
........
In the night, a team of hundreds of people was galloping north along the official road, they were riding war horses, all of them were dressed as cavalry, wearing armor and helmets, but they lacked the temperament of the army, each of them was full of personality, and when they were gathered together, they gave people a sense of nondescriptry.
The person at the head was none other than Li Man, who did not wear armor, but a black samurai suit, tied to a large sword, and carried an extremely sharp Zhanlu sword behind her.
After all, Li Man is the daughter of the Yuan family, and at the last moment, he chose the Yuan family instead of Zhu Zhu, and sent the prince to Taiyuan, which means that her cooperation with Zhu Zhu broke down, and the two completely turned their faces, Zhu Zhu not only cut off the financial resources of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, but also cleaned up the members of the Hidden Sword Pavilion on a large scale in Chang'an, and thousands of people have been killed.
Originally, most of the members of the Hidden Sword Pavilion were outlaws recruited from all over the world, but when they had no money to make and were facing the fear of their lives, they flew away one after another.
Li Man also knew that it was difficult to recover the decline, but she was unwilling, she wanted to do a big thing before the Hidden Sword Pavilion was completely dissolved, that is, to destroy her father-killing enemy Guo Song, although Yuan Zai did not die in the hands of Guo Song, but the Lu Sigong incident where Yuan Zai was brought down was caused by Guo Song, Li Man naturally counted this revenge on Guo Song's head, and the hatred of the Yuan family, she also had to solve it together.
After killing Guo Song's wife and children, killing his friends, subordinates and subordinates, and letting him experience the pain of the destruction of his family, and then trying to assassinate him, Li Man's current madness even makes her subordinates a little afraid.
These three hundred warriors are all old members of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and they are the last elite of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
They galloped all night, entered the boundary of Ganzhou at the third watch, and when the day was about to dawn, they were less than 50 miles away from Zhangye.
At this time, a large roadside tea shed appeared in front of it, and there was smoke in the house next to it, and the tea shed was very large, which could accommodate two or three hundred people, and there were no guests yet.
Li Man was overjoyed and ordered: "Go to the tea shed to rest and have breakfast!" ”
Everyone was tired and hungry, and they urged their horses to run towards the tea shed, close to the tea shed, they turned over and dismounted, and a man greeted him, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!" Welcome! ”
He said official dialect with a Hexi accent, which he could understand, and then the shopkeeper also ran out, he turned around and shouted: "Thirteen Lang, there are guests coming, hurry up and serve the pancakes!" ”
Someone in the room said yes and got busy.
The warriors sat down in a hurry, there were not enough seats, and the men managed to bring a dozen benches, so they barely sat down, and the two men brought several large stacks of bowls and poured hot milk tea for everyone.
Li Man called the shopkeeper over and asked, "How far is it from Zhangye City?" ”
The shopkeeper grinned and said, "You're from out of town? ”
Li Man's face sank, "I'm asking you!" ”
The shopkeeper was startled, and hurriedly said: "There are still more than forty miles away from Zhangye City. ”
"Is Zhangyecheng under martial law now?"
Li Man explained: "I mean, if we are going to Anxi, if we want to stay in Zhangye City for a few days, will we not be allowed to enter? ”
"Of course not! Zhangye City is a big caravan all year round, with hundreds of people at every turn, and he has long been used to it, and the soldiers defending the city will never ask. ”
Li Man relaxed a little, and she asked again: "Is there a big inn outside the city that can accommodate hundreds of people?" ”
"Of course, the inns outside Zhangye City are all big inns, thousands of people can live, this is the characteristic of Ganzhou, all the inns and taverns are very large, like our tea shed can only be regarded as medium."
"I see! Hurry up and eat, we pay double. ”
"Great! I'm going to give it a rush. The shopkeeper turned and ran back into the house.
At this time, a few miles away, a cavalry had been waiting for a long time, Wang Yue stepped forward and said to Liang Wu: "They have already sat down in the tea shed, and the information of the Flying Fox Guard is very accurate." ”
Liang Wu nodded, and immediately shouted: "Close the net!" ”
The battle flag waved, and the cavalry began to shrink away from all directions in the direction of the tea shed.
At this time, all the shopkeepers went into the house to help, and the samurai waited for a quarter of an hour, but before the food was delivered, and the milk tea had been drunk, a samurai could not bear it anymore, and walked towards the house with the milk teapot. He pushed the door open, stunned.
Li Man was observing his actions and found that he was stunned, Li Man immediately asked, "Wang Shun, what happened?" ”
The warrior scratched his head and said to Li Man, "There is no one in the house, where did they go?" ”
"Not good!"
Li Man drew his sword and kicked the table, shouting, "We have been tricked!" ”
At this moment, countless crossbowmen suddenly appeared on both sides of the room, and they all raised their crossbows and shot at them, and the crossbow arrows shot like a storm towards the samurai who were chatting.
The samurai were caught off guard, and suddenly let out a terrible scream, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows.
Li Man reacted very quickly, raised the table with one hand, used the table as a shield, and quickly threw himself towards the horses, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in her abdomen, so painful that her waist could not stand up.
Only then did she realize that the milk tea had been drugged.
Hundreds of arrows roared towards Li Man, Li Man's limbs were sore, he was unable to dodge, he was shot like a hedgehog, he slowly fell, and swallowed his last breath.
Half of their horses were shot down, and the rest of the horses were terrified and screaming, when a muffled trumpet sounded in the distance, and countless horsemen came from all directions.
This is a Hongmen banquet carefully arranged by the Ganzhou army, and it is also a battle of encirclement and annihilation without suspense, 6,000 cavalry and 2,000 crossbowmen laid a net of heaven and earth, Li Man and his companions were all killed without leaving any ground, and the Tibetan Sword Pavilion founded by Dugu Auntie forty years ago finally ended in the Hexi Corridor.

[Li Man must die, the hidden danger of keeping her is too big to prevent. 】
