Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Siege in Secret

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The shopkeeper's dagger is fast, but Long Yuan's speed is even faster.

As soon as the edge of the dagger reached Liu Xiu's approach, Long Yuan's sword was already out of its sheath, and a crisp sound was heard in the ear chakra, and the blade of the sword hit the dagger, bursting with a piercing sound of iron colliding. The shopkeeper held a dagger in his hand and involuntarily took two steps back.

The three guys on the side all pulled out the daggers hidden in their clothes, and there was only one target, Liu Xiu.

Three daggers stabbed at Liu Xiu together.

Before Liu Xiu moved, Zhu You roared, kicked out the table in front of him with one kick, and the three daggers did not stab Liu Xiu, but stabbed the tabletop, making three muffled sounds.

"His grandmother's, in broad daylight, there is really a black shop here!" Zhu You scolded and drew his sword under his ribs, and Gai Yan also copied the glaive knife.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the shopkeeper took a few steps back and took out a whistle from his neckline, which he held in his mouth and blew it desperately.

Chirp, tweet, tweet –

The whistle made a piercing screech. While he blew the whistle, he, along with three of his fellow men, fell to the ground in unison.

Gai Yan didn't understand what was going on, but he also realized that it was not good, he didn't think about it, and flew towards Liu Xiu, crushing him to the ground and protecting him under him.

Zhu You and Long Yuan held sharp swords and looked around vigilantly.

It stands to reason that the other party's whistle should be calling an accomplice, but the strange thing is that after the shopkeeper blew the whistle, the surroundings were quiet, not to mention that no one appeared, and there was no movement.

At this moment, not only Zhu You and Long Yuan were stunned, but even the shopkeeper and his companions were full of surprise.

Liu Xiu stood up from the ground, looked at the shopkeeper and his men lying on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

The shopkeeper and the three men glanced at each other, and they all jumped up from the ground, holding daggers, and went straight to Liu Xiu's vital point.

Before they could get to Liu Xiu, Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan shouted loudly, stepped forward, and blocked the four of them.

There was no superfluous nonsense on both sides, and they immediately fought together.

The shopkeeper and the three guys are all good, ordinary people are not their opponents, but which one of Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan is an ordinary general?

Not long after the two sides fought, a guy was the first to be kicked in the chest by Zhu You, he screamed, his body flew out upside down, flew directly from the tea shed to the outside of the tea shed, lying on the ground, wow, spitting blood, and the person couldn't stand up.

The other two guys didn't get any favors either. One of the guys was slapped on the back of the head by Gai Yan's glaive knife, and his eyes went black, and he fainted on the spot, while the other guy was pierced through the chest by Long Yuan's sword and was killed on the spot.

The rest of the shopkeepers saw that the situation was not good, and turned to run, Liu Xiu dodged to him, shook a fist from above, and kicked him in the ankle from below. The shopkeeper snorted and fell to the ground.

He rolled to the side, rolled out of the tea shed, and limped towards Xinye County.

He ran three or four meters away, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind breaking in the woods, and the shopkeeper didn't understand what was going on, when he suddenly felt a weakness in his right leg, and he involuntarily fell to the ground.

He turned over and sat up, looked down, and his face changed greatly, only to see a crossbow arrow inserted in the calf of his right leg, and the arrow of the crossbow arrow shot through his calf and belly, poking out on the other side of the calf.

He hugged his right leg and let out a scream, beads of sweat dripping down his head and cheeks.

This sudden crossbow arrow startled Liu Xiu and the four people who chased them out of the tea shed. The four of them all turned their heads to look into the woods. With the sound of rustling footsteps, two people slowly walked out of the dense forest.

Both of them are not very old, about twenty years old, looking at their faces, one is dignified, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other has thin eyebrows and thin eyes, with a hooked nose.

Liu Xiu, Zhu You, and Gai Yan didn't know these two, but when Long Yuan saw them, he immediately showed surprise on his face, and blurted out: "Long Zhun, Long Xiao!" ”

Hearing him call out these two names, Zhu You and Gai Yan didn't feel anything, but Liu Xiu was taken aback. Of course, Liu Xiu was no stranger to these two names, and Long Yuan had mentioned them several times in front of him.

It turned out that these two people were the two brothers who were separated from Zhongbo, Long Zhun and Long Xiao.

The two of them carried the crossbow machine, walked out of the woods quickly, rushed to Long Yuan, and said in unison: "Brother Yuan! ”

"Why are you here?" Long Yuan looked at Long Zhun in surprise, and then at Long Xiao, his eyes suddenly became wet and red.

"It's a long story......"

"Then wait and see!" The screams of the shopkeeper were heard from time to time, Long Yuan suppressed his excitement, walked quickly to the shopkeeper, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him back to the tea shed.

Long Zhun and Long Xiao glanced at each other and said, "Brother Yuan, this is not the place to speak, let's go to the forest to talk!" ”

Long Yuan nodded and said to Liu Xiu: "Lord, let's go into the forest first!" ”

Liu Xiu had no objection, and they took the shopkeeper and the three guys into the woods.

Long Zhun and Long Xiao walked inside for a while, stopped, Liu Xiu and the others looked at each other, and gasped in unison.

I saw that on the ground, there were more than a dozen black-clothed people lying horizontally, most of them had their throats cut off, and it could be seen that when these black-clothed people were killed, there were basically not too many fights, and they were all fatal by others.

What surprised everyone even more was that next to the corpse, there were more than a dozen crossbow machines and hundreds of crossbow arrows.

Long Yuan looked at it, frowned and asked, "They are in a group with the people in the tea shed, and they are ambushing here?" ”

Long Zhun and Long Xiao nodded together.

I see! Long Yuan finally understood why the shopkeeper was blowing the whistle, they used the whistle as a signal, and together with the whistle, the black-clothed man hiding in the woods shot crossbow arrows at the tea shed, which was also the reason why the shopkeeper and his men fell to the ground after blowing the whistle.

The other party set up an ambush inside the tea shed and an ambush outside the tea shed, making a double insurance of double ambush, obviously trying to put his own side to death.

Long Yuan narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at Liu Xiu, and said, "Lord, these two are the Long Zhun and Long Xiao that I often mention!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Long Zhun and Long Xiao again and said, "Come here, meet the lord!" ”

When Long Yuan went to join the rebel army, he left a letter to Long Zhun and Long Xiao in the cabin, in which he wrote about his worship of Liu Xiu as the lord, but the specific reason was not written in too detail.

Long Zhun and Long Xiao both looked at Liu Xiu. After looking at him for a moment, the two glanced at each other, and then bowed their hands and said, "Subordinate Long Zhun (Long Xiao), meet the lord!" ”

Liu Xiu had long wanted to take these two brothers of Long Yuan under his command, but unfortunately he had never been able to see them in person, and he didn't expect to 'meet by chance' here. He hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "You two don't need to be polite. ”

However, neither Long Zhun nor Long Xiao straightened up, and still maintained a posture of bowing their hands. Liu Xiu smiled slightly, held Long Zhun's arm, and said again: "No need to be polite. ”

When he was about to straighten Long Zhun's figure, he suddenly realized that the other party was competing with him. The muscles on Long Zhun's arms were all tense, hard as stones.

Liu Xiu still had a smile on his face, and the palm of his hand was secretly strengthened, straightening Long Zhun's bent body little by little. With his hand, others may not be able to see anything, but Long Zhun was taken aback.

It seems that Brother Yuan is not worshipping under Liu Xiu for no reason, this person's arm strength is really amazing.

After Liu Xiu helped Long Zhun up, he turned his head to straighten Long Xiao's body, and then looked at the two of them happily as if he was fine, and said in a brisk tone: "I and Uncle Zhong are like brothers and sisters, and since the two are brothers of Uncle Zhong, I am also my own brother, so naturally I don't have to be so polite." ”

For Liu Xiu's approachability, Long Zhun and Long Xiao were secretly surprised, and at the same time, their faces also showed confusion.

Long Yuan immediately explained: "Uncle Zhong is a word given to me by the lord. ”

Hearing this, Long Zhun and Long Xiao said in unison: "I also hope that the lord will give the word." ”

Liu Xiu only thought about it slightly, and then said: "Long Zhun Zi Zhongyi, Long Zi Shuli, how about it?" ”

"Thank you, the lord!" Long Zhun and Long Xiao saluted Liu Xiushen again. This time, when Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to hug each other, the two did not secretly compete with Liu Xiu again.

Long Yuan answered: "Let's talk about it, why didn't you two go to Chungling, but ran to Xinye?" ”

This is also the question in Liu Xiu's heart.

Long Zhun and Long Xiao saw the mark left by Long Yuan in Lantian County, and the two followed the mark and found Chungling all the way. In Chungling, according to the mark marked by Long Yuan, he found the small cabin where he used to live.

It's just that when Long Zhun and Long Xiao came to Chungling, Long Yuan had already followed Liu Xiu to join the rebel army, and the two of them were in vain.

After the two saw the letter left by Long Yuan in the cabin, they stayed in the cabin and waited for Long Yuan to return.

During this period, they found that there were always a few mysterious people who would come to Chungling to inquire about Liu Xiu's whereabouts.

Because Long Yuan mentioned that he had worshiped Liu Xiu as the lord's father, Long Zhun and Long Xiao were also interested in those mysterious people who were investigating Liu Xiu.

The two of them secretly followed the investigation and found that there were a lot of these mysterious people, and they were highly disciplined and secretive, and there seemed to be some ulterior secrets behind them.

From then on, Long Zhun and Long Xiao left Chungling and followed these mysterious people to see what they wanted to do.

After Liu Xiu and the others returned to Chungling, these mysterious people hidden in the shadows immediately began to act, first reporting to the Caiyang County Yafeng, revealing that Liu Xiu had taken in Long Yuan and forced Liu Xiu to leave Chungling, and they set up an ambush on Liu Xiu's way to Xinye.

Long Zhun and Long Xiao did not rush to show up to meet Liu Xiu and Long Yuan, but hid behind the mysterious person like a ghost, and a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch came behind, and unexpectedly eliminated all the dozen assassins who were ambushed in the woods.

That's how it happened. After listening to the two of them, Long Yuan, Zhu You, and Gai Yan were taken aback, in this way, these mysterious people are all coming for the lord, but the lord has no enemies, why are these mysterious people so scheming to poison the lord?
