Chapter 157: A Sudden Trap (Part II)
After dinner, Xue Pingchuan asked Beizhen Fusi and his party not to go out, and they must stay in their rooms to rest. Everyone has experienced a lot of similar things, but they are not much nervous, but they talk to each other and appreciate the customs of Huai'an Mansion after they are ready. Several people gathered together, whispering, and from time to time let out all kinds of abnormal laughter.
Xu Anping returned to the room and lay on the bed, his heart was a little throbbing, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was. Finally, remind yourself to be vigilant when you act, and then close your eyes and recuperate.
At the end of the hour, there was a knock on the room from outside. Xu Anping opened his eyes suddenly, holding the dagger hidden under the pillow in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
"Brother Xu, get up, it's time to go." Xue Pingchuan's tone was low, revealing a little excitement. As long as he handles this matter beautifully, he will be just around the corner when he goes back and is promoted to deputy Qianhu.
"Sir, wait a minute. I'll come out now. Xu Anping put everything close to his body, the dagger was tied to the side of his left thigh, and his right hand was still holding the waist knife. When they came to the courtyard, the group was ready, and no one made a sound. He saw that Xu Xiaohu was also in the team, his face was full of excitement, his eyes showed light, and his hands kept rubbing the standard waist knife of Beizhen Fusi. Xu Deli, who was standing next to him, looked at his son with a worried face, looking worried. This is also easy to understand, after all, the gangsters targeted by Beizhen Fusi are all slaughtering people's lives at every turn, not to mention that this time it is still a bloody Hand Alliance assassin who kills people without blinking.
"Xu Anping leads the team, come out." Xue Pingchuan waved his hand, and everyone hurried out the back door. At the intersection of the street, the captains of the Fusi of Beizhen, who lived in the inn next to it, also merged into the crowd without saying a word. A group of people ran on the streets late at night, and occasionally encountered the husband who beat the watchman and put him on the side of the road. In the quiet of the night, only the rustling of footsteps sounded.
Half an hour later, when there were still two miles away from Mule Horse Lane, Xu Anping waved everyone to stop on the side of the road.
Xue Pingchuan estimated that it was already ugly, asked everyone to stop and breathe, and began to assign tasks after half an hour. Because Xu Anping inquired about the news in advance during the day, he already knew the situation here, and began to assign people to block the entrance of the alley at both ends, and then prepared to personally lead people into the courtyard and kill all the assassins. "Remember, the Assassins are cunning, don't fall for their tricks. As long as the official does not shout, you must hold the exit to the death, and you will not let anyone go. Did you hear that? ”
The people who stayed behind nodded in unison.
Xue Pingchuan glanced around twice, and shouted in a low voice: "This time it's done, everyone drinks wine and eats meat, and everyone loses their lives and is a companion on Huangquan Road." The glory and wealth of the masters are all earned with their lives. ”
Xu Xiaohu's eyes were blazing, his unknown mind was growing like weeds, and his right hand, which was holding the waist knife, was full of green tendons.
Looking at the gap, Xu Deli whispered to his son: "Huzi, if the situation is not right later, you will escape first." Don't go back to the inn, go directly to the courtyard where your father took you to hide before, and your father will go to meet you later. Remember! ”
Xu Xiaohu didn't understand a little, but nodded casually. After he had seen Xu Anping's kung fu, he was not afraid of assassins or anything at all, and now he was covered in fire and desperately wanted to send it out.
"The rest of the people rushed in with the officer. If someone resists, shoot and kill! Xue Pingchuan said cruel words and directly took the lead in rushing towards Mule and Horse Alley. The rest of the North Town Fusi only followed. When they came to the courtyard wall, everyone skillfully cooperated, supporting each other with their hands, and someone had already climbed the wall.
Xu Anping was the first to go up to the courtyard wall, looking around at the movement in the courtyard, and did not find any ambush, but the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger. Looking down at Xue Pingchuan's urging expression, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and then jumped into the courtyard with a few captains who had already climbed the wall. Then, the rest of the people climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
Xue Pingchuan pushed Xu Anping in front of him and motioned for him to lead the way. Xu Anping just wanted to make a move, when there was a sudden sound of "brushing" in front of him. He subconsciously blindfolded, then fell to the ground and rolled to the side, dodging the quicklime and the crossbow bolts that followed.
"Ahh "Hmm!" A few lieutenants of Beizhen Fusi, who were hit by arrows, were also hard-boned, and they just snorted. But those unlucky lieutenants were sprinkled with lime powder, and they had fallen to the ground and rolled in pain.
Xu Anping turned over and rolled forward, and did not stand up, but directly drew his knife and slashed at the calf of one of the people in the ambush.
"Ahh
A scream woke up Xue Pingchuan in horror, and he shouted: "Brothers, rush up with Lao Tzu!" These grandsons dared to sneak attack and slaughter them for me! As he spoke, he rushed forward with his sword, and those small flags and captains who were about to retreat also gritted their teeth and rushed up.
Xu Xiaohu was not injured when he was thrown to the ground, but the first time he saw the person who had just been alive and alive, he was gone, and he was so frightened that his heart and liver were broken. Suddenly his father's voice sounded in his ear: "Huzi, escape when you have a chance, and your father will come immediately." ”
"Okay, Dad, I... Listen to you. Xiaohu said with a shudder. At this time, the fighting next to him had reached a fever pitch, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground.
As the people of Beizhen Fuji continued to exert their strength, it seemed that there were only five or six assassins who attacked them, and they were defeated and retreated.
Xue Pingchuan slashed his waist knife vigorously and shouted loudly: "Everyone shoulder to shoulder, don't be slipped by them." Straight mother thief, Lao Tzu wants their lives and avenges the brothers! ”
Xu Anping slashed down an assassin with a knife, and after taking a breath, he reminded: "Be careful, my lord, this group of assassins is not simple. Just in case there is a fraud! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard suddenly lit up with torches, and the surroundings were illuminated.
At this time, Xue Pingchuan realized that their group had been unconsciously led to the middle of the courtyard. Seeing the shadowy figures around him, he felt a chill in his heart, and then he realized that the other party was deliberately luring them over.
The people of Kitajin Fuji also found out about the situation, and they huddled together back to back, looking at each other vigilantly in case they were divided and besieged.
A masked man walked out of the crowd, stood not far away and said gloomily: "Xue Baihu, you came to the Humble House in the middle of the night, it really made the Humble House shine!" ”
Xue Pingchuan was shocked in his heart, not knowing what went wrong. "Could it be that the other party got the news before he left Beijing?"
"Hehehe...... The old man had long known that you were coming to visit, but he didn't expect to finally wait for you tonight. Xue Baihu, look at the surrounding situation, the old man advises you not to let your subordinates die. Under the torches, the masked man's face was horrified, and he laughed like a night owl.
