Chapter 38: Shura wields a knife and is pitiful Fourth

On the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when the sky was still bright, under the guidance of the old man, he led all the brothers to lurk in a forest in the west of Tingzhou City.

The woods were miles south of their manor, and to the south of the woods was a makeshift polo field.

After diving in the woods, a cloud of doubt flashed in Luo Puli's heart. This polo field is so simple, how can the old man be so sure that Xiao Langjun from Wenxitang will come to play polo?

Wenxitang, as the property of the Pei family in Hedong, may be slightly inferior to Ruyiju compared to wealth alone. But if you count the power of the Pei family, Wen Xitang is definitely a top force that can compete with Ruyiju.

If this Xiao Langjun is really deeply involved with Wen Xitang, he must be born with a thousand pets, fine clothes and fine food, why not play polo in Tingzhou City, instead of going out of the city?

With such doubts, Tong Luo Puli saw three sixteen or seventeen-year-old Xiao Langjun, BMW Xiangche, fat horses and light furs, surrounded by more than 20 warriors, servants and maidservants, came to the polo field.

Although the samurai were not wearing heavy armor, their fierce aura frightened Luo Puliwang. In her insight, only the tooth soldiers of the general Wang Zhongsi can be compared.

The old man saw her frightening and shook his hand with a smile, indicating that the three were not the target.

After a while, another group of people came, including two little Langjun and three little ladies. And there are more entourages around these five people, and according to Luo Puli's rough calculation, there are about forty people.

The old man pointed to the little Langjun riding the little red horse, and then nodded to the portrait in his hand, indicating that he was the assassination target of this mission.

Tong Luo Puli was very dissatisfied with the old man, and the brothers he brought were no more than 100 people. Now you need to break through the defenses of more than forty elite samurai in order to assassinate the target, it is too difficult!

Besides, even if you are lucky, it is too difficult to get out of the way, and it is estimated that many brothers will have to confess to Tingzhou.

The old man whispered to comfort Tong Luo Puli, saying that the enemy was clear and dark, and he had an advantage. Besides, it's not about getting rid of everyone on the polo field, you only need to kill one target. And don't worry about the back road, he has already made proper arrangements.

Hearing this, Luo Puli felt a move in his heart, and suddenly realized that when he was negotiating with his employer in Lingzhou, an arrow shot through the employer's bun. At that time, the employer was not angry but happy, apparently knowing that his archery skills would be useful.

Tong Luo Puli took out the longbow and tried to make a gesture. She thought to herself that when the distance was right, she should be able to kill with a single blow.

If it was only a long-distance sniper, with the strength of the brothers, if the old man really had a thorough plan, it would still be possible to retreat calmly.

While she was suffering from the gains and losses with Luo Puli, the game on the polo field began. While keeping an eye on the target, Luo Puli also glanced at the polo game a few times. As horse bandits, riding and archery is a housekeeping skill, so the daily pastime of horse bandits is also to play polo, and Luo Puli's ball skills are also counted among horse bandits.

At the beginning, Tong Luo Puli was very disdainful of a group of aristocratic polo frolicking, thinking that a group of children who had not experienced the wind and frost could have an amazing performance on the polo field.

Unexpectedly, the game fell into a fierce battle from the beginning, the score was tightly bitten, and the two sides went back and forth, exciting.

Although the group of little Langjun and little ladies are undetermined and their muscles and bones are not strong, their minds are very clear and their tactical awareness is in place.

At the moment when the score reached the most intense 9-8, the three Xiao Langjun who came first couldn't hold it because of the score behind.

When one of them was attacking and defending with the target, he actually used a despicable sneak attack to fight for a breakthrough.

With Luo Puli is very disdainful, thieves also have a way, the game on the polo field has to rely on their own riding skills and skills, what kind of ability is a small action!

To the surprise of Tong Luo Puli, the target who dodged the sneak attack quickly calmed down from the shock of being sneak attacked, and quickly used his horse speed to quickly catch up with the opponent.

When the opponent tried to repeat the old trick and sneak attack again, the target suddenly turned a pole into a knife, and performed a set of techniques that made Tong Luo Puli feel very subtle, teaching the opponent a hard lesson, and also won a key opportunity for a quick counterattack.

Standing on top of the treetops with Luo Puli and seeing the sharp counterattack of the target, I felt very happy!

Sure enough, the target's quick counterattack left the opponent powerless. Ten to eight, the target team emerged victorious.

The little Langjun who attacked just now seemed to be unconvinced, and stepped forward angrily to theorize. Looking at his ugly face, he was very disgusted with Luo Puli, and wanted to open his bow to give him an arrow.

At this time, the old man, who had been silent for a long time, gave the order to snipe!

Tong Luo Puli's heart was shocked, and she deeply felt the viciousness of the old man's vision.

In the previous competition, there were several times when the target appeared within the range of Luo Puli's long arrow, and she asked in a low voice if she could do it, but the old man denied it. At that time, she still didn't understand why the old man was not in a hurry to do it.

By the end of the game, the polo field was full of cheers, and the samurai, servants, and maidens who were watching the game were all immersed in the brilliant and quick counterattack at the end.

At this moment, it is the time when everyone is most relaxed, and it is estimated that no one would have thought that at the end of the game, there will be a long-planned surprise attack.

This was indeed a good opportunity for sniping, but when the arrow cluster was aimed at the target, Tong Luo Puli couldn't help but hesitate.

On the polo field, she admired the target's performance. Of course, that's not the point.

What really made her hesitant and restless was the doubts that lingered in her heart. When she watched the polo game just now, she carefully sorted out everything that happened from Lingzhou to Tingzhou several times in her heart. There were always things that made her feel suspicious and uneasy, but she couldn't say why.

At the moment when she was about to snipe her target, she suddenly realized that throughout the whole incident, from front to back, she had been led by her employer, and she was always in a state of passively accepting information and instructions. If the employer had concealed something, the brothers would probably have been cheated and would have died in a foreign land, with no place to be buried.

To shoot or not to shoot?! With Luo Puli's heart, she turned over the river and the sea, and she couldn't make up her mind.

After the old man gave the order, he never heard the sound of the long arrow going off the string. He glanced at Tong Luo Puli, whose face was uncertain, suspiciously, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates under the Xia and Shuo Fang Jiedu are also very familiar, don't you consider the safety of your stepfather?" With just one blow, you can ensure that you return to Lingzhou safe and sound, and you can get rid of the identity of horse bandits. ”

The old man's grace and power made Luo Puli completely understand what kind of devil she was dealing with, and she knew that in fact, from the moment she accepted the commission, she had no choice.

Although I was very disgusted with the feeling of being threatened, I could only go on with Luo Puli. She took a deep breath, and then estimated the distance of the target again, about one hundred and fifty paces, a slight north wind, and should be able to hit with one blow.

There was a slight thud and Luo Puli released the bowstring. The bowstring of the ox tendon, full of strength, suddenly ejected the long arrow that was buckled on the string.

Sharp arrows, piercing through the air, screamed through the branches of the woods, and flew towards the throat of the target.

At the moment of loosening the bowstring, Tong Luo Puli seemed to let go of the burden of a thousand catties. She jumped down from the branch with agility, and in mid-air she secretly made up her mind that if she could get out of trouble today, she would kill the caravan of Ruyiju in the future to vent her hatred.

Before Luo Puli landed, she suddenly heard the scream of a sharp weapon breaking through the air. She hurriedly abandoned her bow and drew her sword in mid-air to protect her.

After landing on the ground, he looked closely at Luo Puli, only to find that the target of the sharp weapon was not anyone in the forest, but the long arrow he shot.

I saw a flash of sparks in the air, and the long arrow I shot was hit by a beautiful throwing knife, and the arrow was crooked, and it hit a dead tree at the edge of the woods.

Before she could understand what had happened, a dense sound of breaking through the air sounded behind her, dozens of sharp arrows attacked from the rear of the horse bandits' ambush, and the wails of the brothers who had been hit by arrows suddenly resounded in the woods.

Tong Luo Puli looked around blankly, defenseless against the mutations. She glanced at the old man and saw that his gaze was also full of doubt and uneasiness.

The conspiracy that had been planned for a long time still deviated at the moment when the mystery was about to be revealed.

The planners used huge manpower and material resources, calculated the people's hearts, and did enough to cover up, but they failed at the last moment, which is probably the manpower is sometimes exhausted and the will of heaven is endless!

Of course, the planner is definitely not willing to accept defeat, and he has to fight to the death!

"Attack! Kill the target directly! The old man roared like a mad dog.

Tong Luo Puli was stunned, and the sound of the arrow rain breaking through the air had already made everyone on the polo field aware of the abnormality of the matter.

The samurai, who were originally in a comfortable state of watching the ball, vigilantly pulled out the horizontal knives at their waists, quickly assembled into a team, and were preparing to surround the little Langjun and the little ladies in the center of the polo field.

And the target on the polo field has also realized that something is wrong, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to avoid being highlighted.

While the target was dismounting, he was also shouting something, thinking that he was letting the rest of the little Langjun and little ladies get off the horse.

The little red horse leaped to its feet, flew past the warriors who had come to protect them, and hurried towards a little maid by the polo field.

That little maid was very attracted to Tong Luo Puli just now. Because when the polo match was raging, everyone in the crowd was fascinated, but she didn't pay any attention to the fierce fight on the court, just stood on the side of the polo court and bowed her head and pondered something. When she made up her mind to make a move, the little maid seemed to look panicked and shouted something. But the distance was too far, and the polo field was too noisy, and Tong Luo Puli didn't hear it clearly.

A round of feathered arrows flew from behind, and the muffled grunt of more wounded brothers was heard!

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, what should I do at this time? I really can't make up my mind with Luo Puli! Since joining the bandits, she has commanded several caravans, but she has never encountered such a complex and bad situation, and she has no idea what to do for a while.

"When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and there may be a way to survive when you kill the target, and if you retreat without a fight, you will definitely die!" The old man roared angrily at the hesitant Tong Luo Puli.

With Luo Puli's brain surging with blood and qi, she felt deep sadness at this time. Because after so many years, after all, he is still just a sharp weapon in the hands of others, and he still has no possibility of controlling his own destiny.

His career as a horse bandit seems to be vigorous and dashing, but in essence, like the boring life of his poor mother, there are no more changes and improvements.

Perhaps, her life is not as short as her mother's life, after all, she has loved freely and made free choices. And what did you go through?

Tong Luo Puli trembled inwardly, her hands trembled, and the familiar scimitar was almost unstable.

In the complex and sinister whirlpool of conspiracy, the blade responsible for swinging the knife and killing seems to be majestic, but behind the majesty, it is full of pity and sorrow.

How to choose, Shura Dao and Luo Puli's hearts are blank!
