Chapter 235: Into the Urn
The clouds are like ink, and the moonlight is completely gone.
On the long street in front of the Beihai County Pavilion Station, there were more than 100 black shadows in black clothes, black pants and black scarves covering their faces. Dozens of steps ahead, the gate of the pavilion was tightly closed, and the wind lamps in front of the two doors fluttered in the night breeze and could be extinguished at any time.
"Surround this place, block the front and back yard doors, and not a single living creature will be left inside, and all of them will be killed!" Standing in front of the team was Ji Wen, although he was thin and small, wrapped in black clothes like a dried corpse, but the eyes above the black scarf shot a fierce cold light, so that everyone did not dare to look at him.
"Don't worry, it's in my hands." Nie Jiangchuan on his side is also very thin and small, and he looks like he doesn't care, but every cell in his body is eager to try.
"yes, don't worry, you won't let that guy escape." The other person is burly, but the momentum given to him is the weakest, he is Liu Ji.
Ji Wen nodded slightly, raised the long sword in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted, "Kill!" ”
Nie Jiangchuan's body bounced, and in an instant, a few feet away, more than a hundred masked people behind him unsheathed their swords, held high like a forest, and rushed towards the gate of the pavilion like a huge wave. The distance of dozens of steps was instantaneous, and Nie Jiangchuan was the first to rush to the door, raised his foot to 'bor', and the two gates flew straight into the courtyard. Nie Jiangchuan brandished a machete to protect his head and face, and rushed directly into the courtyard.
The masked men rushed into the courtyard after him, and instantly searched the nooks and crannies of the front yard. At the same time, on the steps in front of the main hall, two night messengers rushed out in a panic with lanterns, shouting, "Who is it? What's going on? ”
Nie Jiangchuan walked slowly up the steps with a machete, and the two messengers raised their blades and asked again, "Who are you?" ”
The sword flashed, and the soldier fell to the ground with a pop, and a head rolled down the steps into the courtyard, and the other post man screamed in horror and turned around and fled, Nie Jiangchuan raised his foot to catch up, and slashed down on the high threshold of the main hall.
"Kill."
The murderous Nie Jiangchuan rushed into the main hall, and more than 100 masked people were divided into several teams, searching around in the main hall, side yard, and middle corridor in the front yard.
Not long after, in front of the courtyard of the east of the inner house, Ji Wen, Nie Jiangchuan, and Liu Ji gathered here with their respective subordinates, and the courtyard in front of them was the courtyard where Wang Yuan lived.
The courtyard door was actually open, but it was dark inside, and there was not a trace of light or sound in the courtyard or room. The team of people and horses fought all the way in, the momentum was huge, although Wang Yuan lived in the back house, he should have heard the voice, how did it seem that there was no panic to face the battle, but as if no one lived here.
"I'm not going to run away." Liu Ji muttered suspiciously.
"Run away, we'll be staring at them after dark, will we know if they escape?" Nie Jiangchuan scolded.
Ji Wen said coldly: "It's just a matter of making a fool of the mysteries, kill them and fight quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Nie Jiangchuan waved his hand, more than a dozen masked people followed behind him and slowly touched towards the courtyard door, Liu Ji shrank back and hid, Ji Wen frowned at a glance and shouted: "Don't drive Liu, don't take anyone to rush in?" ”
Liu Ji was helpless, and led more than a dozen of his servants to follow behind Nie Jiangchuan's people, and entered the gate of the courtyard step by step. Nie Jiangchuan walked in the front, concentrating on vigilance, he knew that Wang Yuan's subordinates should have a lot of good hands, although he didn't care on the surface, but he was careful in his heart. He was also very puzzled by the opening of the door of this courtyard, and after walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, there was something called intuition in his heart, and he felt that there must be something strange in this courtyard.
Two steps after stepping into the courtyard gate, Nie Jiangchuan's keen ears caught the slight sound of bowstring vibrations coming from the darkness ahead, and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air snorting against the air. Nie Jiangchuan shouted: "Be careful! "The toes hit the ground, and the body rose into the air, and the person had reached the beam of the courtyard gate.
How could the people below have time to react, snorting, poof, poof, oops, poof, after a chaotic sound, a dozen or so subordinates who followed him to the gate of the courtyard were knocked down by five or six, and the rest hurriedly withdrew and hid under the wall.
Liu Ji followed behind him, and a feathered arrow flew over his scalp, shooting a person behind him to the core, so frightened that he crawled to the root of the wall, cursing in his mouth.
"Damn, there's an ambush." Gwenn cursed.
Nie Jiangchuan said on the beam: "There are not many of them, they rushed in one go, and they couldn't stop it." ”
Ji Wen nodded and shouted, "Where is Liu Ji?" What about Liu Ji? Is it dead? ”
Liu Ji replied in a low voice behind him, "Ji Shicao, I'm here." ”
Gynwin said angrily, "You are hiding here and rushing in with people. ”
"This ......" Liu Ji's scalp tingled.
"What's this, that, I'll cut you with a sword." Gwenn shouted.
Liu Ji scolded in his stomach, and had no choice but to gather people, but he was not stupid, he first ordered everyone to throw dozens of torches into the courtyard, and burned several bonfires in the courtyard, and the fire illuminated the courtyard brightly; I also saw the figures of more than ten Wang Yuan's subordinates hiding in the window of the house.
Then Liu Ji ordered dozens of people to disperse and climb inside from the low wall, and people were also arranged to rush in at the gate of the courtyard, so many breakthroughs made the ambush of a few people on the other side stretched. After only seven or eight people were shot, most of the men had already rushed into the courtyard and went straight to the gate of the hall. The men in ambush at the window had to give up their arrows and rush to the main entrance of the hall to guard it, and a moment later, a confrontation formed up and down the steps in front of the hall.
The torches crackled and burned, illuminating everyone's faces with blood red, up and down the steps of the hall, Zhang Wulang and others under Wang Yuan held swords in a half-circle formation, and fifty or sixty masked people below pointed at these more than ten people, eyeing them step by step.
"Wang Yuan, what kind of turtle should you shrunk your head? Don't you come out and die? Givin shouted as he stood in the middle of the crowd.
At the main entrance of the hall, Wang Yuan walked out slowly, stood on the steps and said condescendingly: "This is the one, he still knows me and can call my name." ”
Gwenn walked out slowly. Standing at the bottom of the stairs and looking up at Wang Yuan, he sneered: "I am a good man in the green forest of Hutou Mountain in Beihai County, I heard that an official from the capital came to Beihai City and harmed Li Taishou of Beihai County, so I brought my brothers to cut off his head." ”
Wang Yuan looked at Ji Wen, who was covering his face, and suddenly laughed and said, "The hero of Hutou Mountain? Ji Wen, Ji Wen, you are a dignified Jingzhao Mansion Shicao to join the army, what kind of green forest hero do you pretend? It's really not motivated. If you are a robber, your master Li Xiangguo will not become a bandit leader. ”
Givin was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed, and simply admitted, "How do you know it's me?" ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Who else speaks with such a bad voice as you?" And that man is taller than you? ”
Ji Wen said angrily: "When you die, you still have a poisonous mouth." Even if you know it's me, so what? I have come today to take your life. ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "I know your intentions, if you don't come to kill me, are you still here to make friends with me?" What about Yang Shenjin? Why didn't you come? Where to hide and watch the excitement? ”
Ji Wen sneered: "This matter has nothing to do with Yang Shangshu. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "You are a good dog, the protector is very good, Yang Shenjin will definitely not come, how can he rush forward in such a thing, he only commands in the dark." What about Liu Ji? How could such a good thing not come? ”
Liu Ji sacrificed himself from the crowd, and tore off the black scarf on his face to salute in a proper manner: "Deputy Envoy Wang, Liu is here." ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Well, it's really there." This short man with a straight chest and a belly is Nie Jiangchuan, the third oldest of the ten tigers in Xiangguo Mansion. Don't hide it, show your true face. ”
Nie Jiangchuan didn't say a word, pulled off his scarf, and looked at Wang Yuan coldly.
Wang Yuan looked around at the three people at the bottom of the steps, sighed and said, "Yang Shenjin really attaches enough importance to me, this is to send all his belongings to kill me." Am I so hated? ”
Ji Wen said coldly: "Wang Yuan, you know what you have done yourself, you only have a dead end today, so you don't have to bother to quibble." If I were you, I would have slain myself with a sword at this moment, so that I would not be torn apart by a knife. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Ji Shicao, I don't need you to remind me, I know my situation." But I'm a person who is more desperate for my life, I always want to fight, and I don't plan to kill myself. ”
Ji Wen said coldly: "Then we will help you and send you on your way." ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Come slowly, why are you in such a hurry?" It's a fight left and right, either you die or I die, and there's no need to be so anxious. ”
Giwen shouted, "It's useless for you to delay time, you are dead today." ”
Liu Ji stretched his neck and said, "Ji Shicao, what are you talking about with him?" Directly killed the long night dream of free. ”
Giwin nodded, raised his hand slightly, and was about to give the order to attack.
Wang Yuan stood on the stairs and sneered: "Ji Shicao, you don't have to be in such a hurry to find death, you think I will die, but I don't think so." You think you're getting your hands dirty, but I think you're throwing yourself into the net. Big black, signaling. ”
Wang Dahei held a bamboo flute in his thick lips, but when he blew the bamboo flute vigorously, the sharp sound resounded through the night, like a spike piercing into everyone's ear drums.
Ji Wen was stunned and sneered, "What kind of trick is this?" ”
Wang Yuan said quietly: "Listen." ”
Everyone held their breath and stared, only listening to the sound of sharp bamboo whistles around the pavilion, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, as well as the sound of miscellaneous footsteps, shouting and shouting angrily. The masked people looked at each other in a panic, and Ji Wen, Nie Jiangchuan and others also changed color on their faces.
"What are you doing?" Gwenn shouted.
Wang Yuan said coldly: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." Next year today will be your death day. ”
