Chapter 293: I'll Pick Up Someone
The slanting sky of the setting sun glows, and the autumn wind blows through the branches that are the last of the dead leaves, passing over the city streets. Pedestrians come and go between the markets, and horse-drawn carriages pass through.
When the members of the Badao Battalion who came on horseback caught up with the carriage in front, Ning Yi was watching Liu Xigua, Liu Tiannan and others in the carriage to discuss some details of today's action, and Chen Fan, who had not yet healed from his injuries, was also in the fun.
The main goal of today's action is Bao Daoyi's White Deer View. In the past few days, most of the others thought that Bao Daoyi and Liu Xigua would remain rational after all, and large-scale conflicts did not appear, but Liu Xigua understood Bao Daoyi's character of revenge, and now this conflict will not wait until the evening, but to break Bao Daoyi's lair before dark, and rescue many women who are locked up here under the watchful eye of everyone.
To fight a war, you have to have a reputation for the outside world, and since the sword battalion has occupied the commanding heights, it will naturally be carried forward next.
Relatively speaking, Gu Tongguan's side is either a woman who Bao Daoyi is tired of playing with or a group of people who are caught by his subordinates privately, only Bailuguan is here, it really belongs to Bao Daoyi's harem, once it is touched, it is equivalent to digging out a piece of meat in his heart. As soon as this matter was done, the Badao Battalion and Bao Daoyi had already declared war in an all-out way, and others did not have to think about coming over to mediate, so they could only stand in line.
made a decision to do it, of course, it couldn't just attack one place to make a show, with Bailuguan as the main goal, and many other strongholds belonging to Bao Daoyi were also sent out in a targeted manner. In any case, this evening will be the most lively carnival, for Ning Yi, the plan set for Wen Ren's side, the situation in Hangzhou in the future, when the imperial army comes to attack, some key arrangements that can play a role. It will all be launched in this evening. Because of this, when the messenger caught up from behind, and then saw Juan'er's figure, Ning Yi was really a little stunned.
The city of Hangzhou is not peaceful, Juan'er is dressed in men's clothes, and her body is also a little dirty. She was a little anxious to tell Ning Yi about the situation of the small courtyard being besieged not long ago, and Lu Hongti sent her out to report the news, looking anxious. In fact. With Lu Hongti here, it may not be impossible to escort Su Tan'er out or kill the dozens of people besieging the courtyard, but if you want to do two things at the same time, or even protect everyone, it will be very difficult.
Taking a step back, even if she could do it, with the situation of Su Tan'er and her party at this time, after killing dozens of people. Going out of town is a bubble. In this case, Su Tan'er asked Lu Hong to report the news, but Lu Hongti insisted on staying by Su Tan'er's side, and just sent Juan'er out to put the choice of the matter in Ning Yi's hands.
“…… The people of the Lou family? Hearing this, Ning Yi was stunned for a moment.
"The maid saw the second young master of the Lou family, and the eldest young master seems to be ...... Uncle, do you know that Lou Shuheng has always coveted Miss, probably because of this ......"
"Ha, this is really ......" is really a bit of a mood that suits the correspondence. Ning Yi raised his head and opened his mouth, at this time, he would actually insert such a thing. But no matter how ridiculous it is, after all, things have already happened, taking a breath, he patted Juan'er on the shoulder: "I know it, Juan'er, you go back to Xiliu Street with Xiaochan, and wait for me to come back with your young lady at night, it's okay." ”
After saying that, Ning Yi turned around and walked towards the carriage waiting on the side of the street, and Juan'er saw that Ning Yi had decided to do it so quickly. While relieved, he was also worried, and said to Xiaochan: "That...... Originally, what should I do if I leave tonight......" Xiaochan shook her head and pulled her: "Let's go back first." She was afraid that Liu Xigua and others in the carriage would see something.
In fact, everyone over there had already watched it with relish, and they didn't know what the girl who came over suddenly dressed as a woman had anything to do with Ning Yi, Liu Xigua looked thoughtful. Ning Yi walked over, under the sunset. On the streets where people came and went, the scholar in the robe said a few words, and everyone's expressions became wonderful. After a while. Liu Watermelon opened his mouth: "Is two hundred people enough?" ”…,
"There are fifty people, I'll go to the Ruifeng camp on the way, you go first."
"Give you a hundred, Ah Chang will accompany you."
This was a simple and quick conversation, and a quick decision was made about this sudden state of affairs, but after saying this, Fang Shuchang jumped out of the car, Ning Yi turned around and was about to leave, Liu Xigua poked his head out, with a little playful smile on his face.
"There will be a banquet in the evening, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for my sister-in-law."
"I know it." Ning Yi answered a little angrily, the carriage was moving, the curtain was lifted, but a figure jumped down, it was Chen Fan, who was still wearing a bandage on his body, and patted Ning Yi's shoulder with a smile: "One piece, I will also go to see my brother and sister." ”
At this time, hundreds of elites of the Badao Battalion were quietly dispersed from different directions to several major areas in the city, Liu Xigua's carriage went to Bailuguan, Ning Yi, Fang Shuchang and Chen Fan and others rushed to Loufu in the opposite direction, and several heralds began to let nearly 100 people on this side get closer in the attack, and at the same time, a herald also went to the location of the nearby Ruifeng Battalion, which is a small group of troops inclined to the Badao Battalion, and the eldest son of the leader is also the backbone of the Yongle Youth League who is studying under Ning Yi, after receiving the news, More than 100 people rose up camp.
At the same time, Lou Fu was preparing for dinner.
It was not yet dark, and the big lanterns had already begun to be lit. The Lou family has a big business, and it has not been bad for this money recently. There are a total of five tables in the main hall, three of which are the Lou family's own family and relatives, and two tables are the staff or guest secretaries who came in to recruit.
When he sat down, Lou Shuheng was still a little excited, and was glanced at by Lou Jinlin angrily. Lou Shuwang called the housekeeper and asked him to strengthen the defenses inside and outside the mansion to avoid anyone making trouble, he is a cautious person, and he knows that Ning Yi should have something to do with it more or less in the Badao Battalion, if he takes a risk, he must have a response.
Today's Lou family is different from the past, to develop and sit big, the strength of relatives can not be ignored, and the recruited staff and guest secretaries can not be slack, and everyone sits together to eat every day, which is a good time to consolidate the relationship. Lou Shuheng had just arrested Su Tan'er and the others into the mansion, but he still didn't dare to be absent when it was time to eat. It's just that in the past, he was mostly a little absent-minded at this kind of time, but today he is obviously much more active, looking for someone to talk to. For a while, it was quite eye-catching.
Like this second brother, Lou Shuwan's mood has been a little complicated and depressed recently, seeing him like this, she had some doubts in her heart, and this doubt then turned into speculation. After a while, she probably understood the eldest brother's instructions to the housekeeper, and went over to ask, "Eldest brother, what did you do with the second brother?" ”
Lou Shuwang was eating. There was a pause: "What, what?" ”
"You're right...... Did you do it to Ning Yi? ”
"Nope." Lou Shuwang shook his head and denied, "But sooner or later, you don't care." ”
"You ......" Lou Shuwan's eyes widened, and she was about to say more, when Lou Lin on the main seat on the side frowned: "Shu Wan, when you eat, don't talk about those things that can't be put on the table!" ”
He vaguely heard his daughter say the word "Ning Yi", and he was displeased. For this father. Lou Shuwan was still scared after all, and when she was silent, Lou Jinlin asked Lou Shuwang, "Shuwang, what's going on with Tang Bingzhang?" ”
"The will has not yet been decided......"
"Tomorrow I will talk to him for my father and settle the matter."
Lou Jinlin said this, and there was a guest next to him whose eyes lit up and said, "Dong Weng wants to subdue Tang Bingzhang?" It's not easy......"
The Lou family is recruiting people and power like this, at least internally, everyone understands what this means, this is no longer the status of a businessman. Instead, it has developed into the position of a big family and a big warlord. Everyone also said that the outside world's impression of the Lou family has changed in recent times, and not many people dare to bully them, etc., and the mood is warm and honorable. Lou Jinlin said to Lou Shuwan and Lou Shuheng: "Collect your heart in the future, care about these things at home, we are no longer the Lou family we used to be, and the pattern will be bigger." ”…,
While they were talking about these things, it was not far from the Lou family's mansion, and hundreds of members of the Badao Battalion came from the road. When they met Ning Yi, some people went over and asked: "Mr. Ning, I heard that it was my younger brother and sister who were taken captive?" "There were groups of three or five, and there were more than ten people in groups, and they were not completely integrated into a formation, because according to the previous plan, they were going to disguise themselves as pedestrians to sneak attack. At this time, there were messages coming and going in the crowd, and there were all kinds of whispers.
"I heard that Mr. Ning's wife was robbed......
"I've never seen it before......"
"Who the did ......"
"I don't know how high the sky is high and the ...... is thick"
"What are you doing slowly? Hurry up......"
". Skinned them ......"
Ning Yi is not a rough man who eats meat and drinks wine in the Badao Battalion, but his positioning itself is a literati scholar, although everyone is not a fan with him, but now they all know Ning Yi's skills, and cooperate with Liu Tiannan to arrange the Badao Battalion in an orderly manner. For these people, this slap in the face is equivalent to falling on their faces.
A wave of knife-wielding men surged away with murderous aura......
As the time passed, the sky grew dark, and the red lantern hung high.
The atmosphere between the banquets has become more and more harmonious and enthusiastic, and at some point, a pillar of smoke appeared in the sky on the side of the courtyard, which seemed to be on fire at the other end of the city, and everyone looked at it.
"Where?"
"On the east side of the city."
"It's like a white deer view."
"No, it's not like ......."
While he was talking, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside, faintly, everyone was still thinking about whether it was true, and a nurse rushed over from the gate: "Report...... Gifts, Gifts...... There are armies, armies ...... outside"
"Something's wrong." Lou Jinlin frowned, "Passing?" ”
"No, no, no...... It's not ......"
The man didn't stammer, but before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly kicked open the main gate on the other side of the courtyard, and a figure rushed in. Naturally, there is a nursing home here, and I originally wanted to go up to block it, but then stopped, and no one dared to step forward. Because at this time, on the fence around the courtyard, there were also people with bows and arrows. On the side of the street on the side of the main house, there was a faint voice: "Rush in!" Such short commands. There was not much shouting and killing, but for a while, there was movement from all directions, and there was an occasional scream of "ah" in the courtyard in the rear, maybe someone was dead.
The front and back yards were quickly controlled, and someone in the courtyard wanted to go over to negotiate, but was chopped to the ground with a knife. The people who rushed in were divided into several groups, but none of them spoke, and only stared at everyone in the courtyard and room with their blood-stained or blood-stained swords. Some of the five tables in the main hall stood up, and some sat there not daring to move. The building is also sitting. The old man remained calm about this sudden state of affairs, and just asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”
Lou Shuwang stood beside him, thinking about something, looking at all this and shaking his head: "Impossible." ”
"What?"
"Probably...... It could be Ning Yi...... But how could it be ......"
"Huh?" Lou Jinlin raised his head and looked at the eldest son beside him, Lou Shuwang said: "The younger brother caught Su Tan'er an hour ago, and he is currently at home. ”
Lou Jinlin pursed his lips and thought about it, his eyes sharp: "Even if the Buddha is handsome, it is impossible to easily move my Lou family." He shook his head. It can't be because of that Ning Yi, it's just a coincidence...... The people will come and see what they want. ”
However, just a moment later, Ning Yi's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard with Chen Fan, Fang Shuchang and others, he had no expression, stretched out his hand and rolled up the sleeves of the scholar's robe, and walked straight towards the hall. Lou Jinlin raised his head slightly, looking at this scene, Lou Shuwang just frowned. He shook his head and whispered, "What...... This can't be ......," but then, he walked towards the door of the hall and made a gesture of greeting, only thinking in his heart what this ridiculous situation was, how could this man who had only been in the army for a while could do this. …,
Everyone was watching, they basically didn't know Ning Yi, but looking at the situation, they also knew that the person who came from the Tao was already the person in charge. When Ning Yi stepped on the steps with a slight frown, Lou Shuwang also arched his hand: "Brother Ning, today's matter ......" Ning Yi was a little cold, but more likely to be bored, his gaze only stayed on him for a moment. Then he turned back to Lou Lin's body in the room, and while walking, he took the crossbow from a person next to him, and the next moment, the crossbow was aimed at Lou Shuwang's throat and pulled the trigger.
Poof-
"Ahh
Someone screamed, the whole hall shook, Ning Yi stepped into the main hall, Lou Shuwang's body poured out two meters away, and the crossbow arrow pierced his throat. He tried to reach out and cover it, but blood came out of his throat and mouth at the same time, he looked at the ceiling, there was only one thought in his head, he didn't understand what was going on, it was Ning Yi, what was for what was it...... He obviously has a lot of things to do. That was Ning Yi, when I met him for the first time, it was just Ning Yi who was a wealthy husband. Obviously there are still a lot of things to do and are doing, what should I do if I arrange the things of Lu tomorrow, he is just kidnapping an insignificant Su Tan'er, it doesn't matter if he kills it casually if it is insignificant......
Lou Shuwan screamed and rushed towards her brother, but her throat was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and she was already powerless. The impact of this moment made Lou Jinlin, who had to sit at the top, tense up suddenly, and the old man was still sitting there, his teeth clenched, watching the scene of the eldest son suddenly falling, staring at Ning Yi. I'm afraid that not many people thought that someone would look at Lou Shuwang so simply, and someone came over: "What are you doing?" ”
This person is one of the relatives of the Lou family, maybe he just subconsciously greeted him, Fang Shuchang pulled out the knife with his backhand and put away the knife, the corpse shot out with blood, the blood soaked all over the ground, and the person who was hit jumped to avoid, fell, and exclaimed, and it was chaos again. But after this scene, the hall was almost silent. Ning Yi's footsteps didn't stop from beginning to end, he just threw back the crossbow with his hand, passed through the two round tables by the door, and walked straight to the table in the innermost main seat.
A member of the Lou family who was sitting on the opposite side of the building got up and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he tripped over a chair and staggered back a few steps with a bang. For a moment, almost all the people around were scattered in such a chaotic manner. Ning Yi stepped over the gap between the two chairs, grabbed the edge of the round table and lifted it to the side.
There was a bang, and the huge round table with more than a dozen dishes above turned to the side of the hall, and the table next to it was originally a group of guests recruited by the Lou family, all of whom were martial arts people, and there was no shortage of masters, but at this time they were just embarrassed to dodge, and some were drenched in soup and vegetables, and they still didn't dare to speak. In fact, the one with the highest martial arts skills in this group had been violently beaten by Chen Fan before, and at this time, looking at Chen Fan who was standing there, his hands were trembling.
The round table flew open, and the shelves supported below had been lifted open and smashed aside. The original main family seat was only Lou Jinlin sitting there at this time, this old man was really imposing, his whole body trembled slightly at this time, staring at Ning Yi like a lion of a dead child, if the middle-level generals in the Fangla military system came to raid the house and met such eyes, I am afraid they would be a little shocked, Ning Yi grabbed the chair next to him, and went straight to the front of Lou Jinlin, and then, he sat down in front of the old man, his hands clenched into fists and pressed on his knees, sitting upright like a pine, looking at the old man's eyes a little coldly.
After looking at each other for two seconds, he spoke with a cold expression, his tone was not high, and there was no inhibition or frustration, but he made a simple and peaceful statement: "I came to pick up people, and someone said no word today, I will kill your whole family." ”
Lou Lin stared at him, his lips trembled slightly, and finally he didn't speak. After a few more seconds, Ning Yi reached out and patted the back of the old man's palm slowly and vigorously twice, got up and walked away, too lazy to look at him again.
The people who controlled the scene and searched for it had already entered, and he walked under the eaves and waited for his wife and the others to come out. (To be continued)
