Chapter 12 Waiting to Win

Wu Ying only felt that the blood in his chest surged, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily on the ground, not knowing life and death. The middle-aged guard smiled coldly, didn't look at him more, and said to several other Qi State guards who were in a fierce battle: "You go to protect the Fourth Highness, these assassins are handed over to me." ”

The remaining four Qi State guards jumped out of the battle circle and surrounded Jiang Huan Chu in the middle. The middle-aged guard slowly walked towards Ao Qing and the others, and said, "Tell me who sent you, and I will spare you from death." ”

A disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect beside Ao Qing rushed towards the middle-aged guard with a knife in his hand. Ao Qing shouted: "Senior brother, don't go." As soon as the words fell, I saw that the middle-aged guard slapped his hand heavily against the disciple, and there was another loud bang, and the disciple didn't have time to make a sound, and he was killed on the spot.

On the other side, Lin Wenying, who was about to gradually gain the upper hand, saw the situation on this side, and forced Xiong Yu away with two swords, and then jumped backwards, jumping out of the battle circle and blocking the front of the middle-aged guard. Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan also each eliminated the two Chu State guards on the opposite side and stood on either side of Lin Wenying. Lin Wenying turned his head to Ao Qing behind him and said, "Ao Qing, you take everyone to retreat first, and I will stop him." ”

Xiong Yu also jumped over, one after the other with the middle-aged guard, sandwiched the people of the Heavenly Sword Gate in the middle, and sneered: "You have nowhere to go, just tie your hands and arrest it." ”

Shi Luosheng whispered to Lin Wenying: "Elder Lin, the person in front of you has too high martial arts, and he is afraid that he will suffer a loss, so let's go into the alley next to him, and I set up an ambush in it last night." ”

Lin Wenying nodded and said, "Okay, you guys retreat inside first, and after I come to the hall, don't forget to bring my martial brother." ”

Shi Luosheng secretly grabbed a handful of lime powder that had not been used up yesterday from his chest, and pretended to slash Xiong Yu with a knife in his right hand, Xiong Yu raised his sword to block, and suddenly Shi Luosheng raised his left hand and sprinkled a handful of powder on himself.

Xiong Yu was shocked, thinking that it was some kind of poisonous powder, and hurriedly dodged to the side. Shi Luosheng took the opportunity to pick up the martial arts baby on the ground and led everyone to break through the alley.

The middle-aged guard shouted, "Where to go." An arrow rushed to the stone fall, followed by a palm strike. Lin Wenying's figure flashed, blocked in front, and took the palm hard. The two palms intersected, Lin Wenying took three steps back in a row to stabilize his body, and the other party just shook his body.

"It turned out to be him!" Lin Wenying and the other party had a pair of palms, only to feel that the other party's palm was strong, and the internal force was still surging towards him endlessly. There are not many people in the Qi Kingdom who have such power, and there is only one person who has a close relationship with the royal family of the Qi State, and that is Hou Ying, one of the Heavenly Qi Sect Guardian Kings of the Qi Kingdom.

Hou Ying obviously didn't recognize Lin Wenying: "There are not many people in the world who can take my palm, say your name, maybe I can spare you from dying." ”

Lin Wenying said: "Your Excellency's martial arts are indeed better than mine, but if you want to kill me, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Hou Ying didn't say anything, and attacked Lin Wenying with another palm, this time Lin Wenying didn't dare to resist head-on, but used the Heavenly Sword Technique to fight with Hou Win's big Sumeru palm.

Although Hou Ying recognized that the other party was using the Heavenly Sword Technique, the Heavenly Sword Gate was extremely open to martial arts, and there were many people in the world who would make the Heavenly Sword Gate Kung Fu. Now on this occasion, the other party dares to use the Heavenly Sword Technique, but Hou Ying is not sure that the other party is the person from the Song Kingdom Heavenly Sword Sect.

While the two were fighting, Ao Qing, Liu Zixuan, and the remaining Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were working together to besiege Xiong Yu. However, there is still a big gap between the martial arts of the three of them and a master of Xiong Yu's level, and after more than a dozen moves, the three of them have been beaten and have no power to fight back.

Shi Luosheng took advantage of the fact that the two masters had no time to take care of themselves, and fled into the alley where he was ambushed last night with Wu Ying on his back.

Lin Wenying saw that Shi Luosheng had already entered the alley, and beckoned Ao Qing, Liu Zixuan and others to withdraw together.

Where are Hou Ying and Xiong Yu willing to let go, Lin Wenying retreats while fighting. Liu Zixuan and the three of them also fought and left. Xiong Yu chased after him with a sword and stabbed directly into the chest of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple. This disciple hugged Xiong Yu's thigh before he died, Xiong Yu couldn't break free, and hit his Tianling Gai with another palm, and the disciple was killed on the spot.

Just as the disciple was dragging Xiong Yu, Liu Zixuan and Ao Qing also fled into the alley. Lin Wenying no longer fought with Hou Ying at this time, and struggled to force Hou Ying away, and he also jumped out of the battle circle and ran to the alley.

Hou Ying and Xiong Yu followed closely behind, followed by Lin Wenying's figure and entered the alley one after another. Hou Ying took the lead and volleyed out with one palm, the alley was narrow, and Lin Wenying had no space to dodge, so he could only make a hard connection again. With a loud bang, Lin Wenying took a few steps back, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, obviously suffering a lot of internal injuries.

Xiong Yu, who was behind Hou Ying, also jumped behind Lin Wenying, and the two of them sandwiched Lin Wenying in the middle.

Hou Ying said: "You have no way to escape, it's a pity that such a good martial arts will die today, as long as you tell how you know the whereabouts of the Four Highnesses, I can consider not killing you." ”

Lin Wenying was fearless: "It's not a shame to be able to die at the hands of the Tianqi Sect Protector King." Wait to win, come on. ”

Hou Ying sighed and said, "Okay, I'll send you on my way now." ”

After speaking, Hou Ying once again palmed and fought with Lin Wenying. Xiong Yu took into account his identity and Hou Ying's identity, and it was disgraceful to win with two enemies and one victory, so he didn't step forward to wrap up, but just blocked behind Lin Wenying to prevent him from escaping again. As for the juniors who escaped, they are not as good as the person in front of them in terms of martial arts and identity, as long as they take him, they will know who leaked the news.

Hou Ying and Lin Wenying fought a few more tricks, and suddenly there was a loud bang overhead, the lime powder in the sky fell, and the alley was extremely narrow, and there was no room to dodge at all. In an instant, the three of them were gray, and there was a lot of lime powder in their eyes, and they were all blind for a while.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, only to hear the sound of a row of bows and crossbows, Xiong Yu because he was behind Lin Wenying, and his eyes were suddenly blind, although he heard the sound of crossbow arrows in a panic, but there was no space to dodge in the alley, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were all shot at Xiong Yu's back, and he died of anger on the spot.

Shi Luosheng quickly ran to Lin Wenying's side, grabbed his hand and retreated. When retreating, he did not forget to make up two arrows for Hou Ying, Hou Ying knew that he had been ambushed, Xiong Yu had been shot, and then he heard the sound of a bow and crossbow in his ears, and hurriedly jumped high, although he dodged the crossbow arrows, but he was also afraid that there were other ambushes in front of him, and he couldn't see with his eyes, and he didn't dare to chase after him, so he retreated to Jiang Huanchu's side. Seeing that the assassins had escaped, Kong Yi hurriedly asked Changli City to be too punctual and Wenyi ordered the city to be closed and searched.

Shi Luosheng didn't dare to go back to the inn with everyone, so he found an empty house with no one to hide temporarily, and washed Lin Wenying's eyes by the way.

Ao Qing said: "Master, now the city is full of Chu army searching, and we are not safe here, if we don't find a place to heal Uncle Wushi, Uncle Wu is afraid that he will not be able to hold on." ”

Lin Wenying was also injured internally, and there was nothing she could do for a while, so she asked Shi Luosheng: "Luosheng, senior brother said that you are good at strategy, do you have any ideas now?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Now there is no safety in the city except for two places, the first is the post station where Jiang Huan Chu, the fourth prince of Qi State, stays, but with a master like Hou Ying, it is difficult for us not to be discovered." The second place is Taishoufu. Kong Yi and they must be accompanying Jiang Huan Chu at the post station, the two elders are injured now, Zixuan and I will go to the Taishou Mansion first to see if we can find a place to hide, Brother Ao, you will take the two elders to wait for our news near the Taishou Mansion in half an hour. ”

Wu Qing was overjoyed and said: "The most dangerous place is the safest place, no one would have thought that we would hide in the Taishou Mansion." ”

Shi Luosheng took Liu Zixuan to the teahouse in the city first, asked for a pot of tea, and then sat quietly and listened to the people next to him chatting.

Liu Zixuan was a little puzzled: "Luosheng, when is it now, aren't we going to Taishou Mansion?" How do you come to the teahouse? When you want to drink tea, you have to pick this time. ”

Shi Luosheng shook his head and said: "There are many things that are not in a hurry, just sit quietly and listen to what everyone is talking about, maybe there is something we want to know in it." ”

The hottest topic in the teahouse now is the vendetta incident that just happened at the city gate, and the prince of Qi's visit to Chu is still being kept secret, so the people in the city think that it was a vendetta just now.

Someone said: "A lot of people died in the battle at the city gate just now, and this kind of thing hasn't happened in Changli City for many years." ”

Someone next to him echoed: "Yes, the last time this kind of thing happened was when the previous Taishou was in office, and nothing like this has happened since Shi Taishou took office." ”

"Shi Taishou is a good official, not only good to the people, but also extremely filial to his mother. I heard that when Shi Taishou was a teenager, his father passed away, and one year there was a famine, Shi Taishou barely survived by picking mulberries. One day, he met the former prime minister, and the prime minister asked him why he put the red mulberries and the black mulberries in two separate baskets. Shi Taishou replied that the black mulberries were ripe and should be eaten by the old mother, and the red mulberries were not ripe and kept for himself. The Prime Minister took pity on his filial piety and accepted him as a student, and later followed him into the official career. ”

Shi Luosheng paid close attention to their conversation, and already had an idea in his heart, beckoning Liu Zixuan to leave the teahouse.

Taishou Mansion, when the mother is chanting in the Buddhist hall, her husband died early, although the son is now a county Taishou, but Changli City is located at the junction of Qi and Chu, the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious, small-scale friction occurs from time to time, the previous Taishou was dismissed because he did not handle the relationship with Qi State.

Since moving into the Taishou Mansion, Shi's mother has found someone to build a Buddhist hall in the backyard, and she comes here every day to chant and pray for her son. Just now, Shimu also heard about the vendetta that happened at the city gate, so she deliberately came to the Buddhist hall early to chant the scriptures, and before the Diamond Sutra was recited, the door of the Buddhist hall was suddenly gently pushed open, and there were two people standing outside the door.
