Chapter 28: Night Shadow Longing for the Cold Light (3)

The night was bright, and a half-moon hung over the treetops. The stars shine brightly, with the North Star shining on the summits of the northern mountains, and Sirius, the brightest star, hanging high above the zenith. Since ancient times, the wolf lord has been conquering, and every autumn and winter, the Sirius appears in the middle of the sky, which is the time when the horn and war drums of the northern frontier sound in unison. Under the gaze of the heavenly wolf, for thousands of years, there have been many conquests and killings between the Han family and the northern nomads. In the cold wind tonight, the wolf hung high, and the peaceful village was full of murderous intent inside and outside.

The winter night was cold, and the exhaled white breath condensed on the lips and whiskers in a blink of an eye. It has been lurking in the woods outside Ha Long Bay Village for more than two hours, and the night wind as sharp as a knife pierces through the trees, bringing a howl like a ghost crying wolf. Although Chen Ji wrapped himself like a rice dumpling with fur silk cotton, his ears and nose were still freezing and aching. His hands and feet stiffened, and he couldn't feel the presence of the upper and lower twenty fingers.

The boss of the Huang family shivered behind Chen Ji, and the frozen water and snot were sticking to the beard on the upper lip, a piece of white flowers. He didn't have the equipment that Chen Ji was wearing, and the sheepskin jacket he wore looked too thin in the cold night when the water was dripping into ice. He hugged his arms, stamped his feet hard, and stepped on the branches on the ground crackling.

Chen Ji was so cold that he didn't have the strength to reprimand the boss of the Huang family, but a cold snort sounded beside him, with unhappiness and anger. Huang Da stood in horror when he heard this, and he didn't dare to move again, and silence returned to the woods.

On Chen Ji's side, there was a thin man of medium height, in his forties, with a sad face, an old face full of wrinkles, half-hunched on his back, looking a little old. But in the cold wind of hunting through the woods, he didn't move at all, as if he didn't feel the slightest chill. Just now, he snorted coldly, and let Huang Da stand honestly and silently, this is the accumulation of power that has been rampant on Qinfeng Road for decades.

On the outside, the helpers recruited by Chen Ji, as well as the minions under the command of the mountain wind, nearly thirty people, high and low, were all waiting for the final order.

"Over the leader. It's been two days. Chen Ji anxiously urged the middle-aged man, but he didn't dare to use a tougher tone.

No one knows the real name of the mountain wind, and even his minions are said to be unclear. Chen Ji only knew that the black, thin, withered, and inconspicuous man in front of him was followed by hundreds of unjust souls. For more than 20 years, the government has tried to clean it up several times, but to no avail. Other than that, nothing is known.

Looking at the village half a mile away, there was no light in sight, and in the night, there was only a blurry black shadow, which was indeed defenseless. "Brother Zhang, your enemy's house can't be mistaken, right? Don't go the wrong way. ”

"You can't be wrong!" Chen Ji gave a positive reply, and the two people who went to contact Li Lezi had already come back and brought back the good news. It's just that Li Lezi is too timid and refuses to go out, so he has to let his son-in-law Huang Er stare at him.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, let's go!" The mountain wind put away his caution and led his men to Ha Long Bay in the night.

Chen Ji nodded, and started with the mountain wind. He didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he assumed his name and surname Zhang, and even fooled the details of the target Han Gang. Everything pays attention to the word 'potential'. The trees fell and scattered, the Chen family was finished, and without the support of the Chen family's strength, he was just a fugitive prisoner who was caught by the shadows. really exposed his identity, doesn't the mountain wind have the courage to eat black? The nickname of the mountain wind is not for nothing.

……………………

"The two thieves of Li Lezi's family, just one left, there is only one left, and Second Brother Li is staring at him." On the second watch, Wang Sunchen rushed back to report the news. He and Li Xin were only ordered to escort Li Xinzi's son home, Han Gang would not easily believe a former enemy, Wang Sunchen and Li Xin sent people home under the guise of a cover, and the real task was to confirm the authenticity of the news.

"Brother Wang, you go to Li Lezi's house again and inform the second brother that the thief has been killed. Since Li Lezi voted for me, I have to save his life and don't let people hurt him. Wang Sunchen left again in a hurry, Halongwan Village is not big, and Li Lezi's new home is not far from the Han family, so it is very convenient to come and go.

Han Gang and Wang Hou stood outside the door, although the wind was cold, the upcoming battle made the blood of the two young people boil. Han Gang lowered his voice, before the battle began, he didn't want to alarm his parents: "It seems that the thieves are coming soon!" These thieves must be caught in a net, otherwise it will be troublesome to make a comeback in the future. ”

Wang Hou didn't have any experience in battle, he looked at Han Gang, who was in command, with a hint of envy, "Yukun...... Is there a solution? ”

"It's not a good policy, it's just a matter of bringing in and closing the door and beating the dog."

Villages in Qinzhou are all walled, and Halong Bay is no exception. Although it is not sturdy, it is not tall, only more than six feet, and it can easily be climbed over by a better skill. However, many houses in the village have side walls as the walls of the thatched houses or courtyards of the homes. This determines that if the thieves want to escape from the village, there are only a few major roads to choose from, otherwise they must rush into the house first before they can escape.

If they do, they will be caught in the sea of the people. ’

Wang Sunchen, Zhao Long and Li Xin, the ten thousand enemies may not be called, but they are all masters of one hundred. However, the actual battle is different from the martial arts, and the enemy's level is not bad, and if you fight at night, you may have some accidents. How could Han Gang be reluctant, of course he had to help them more, "This is Kansai, how can the Kansai men be willing to be at the mercy of thieves?" As long as someone comes forward, they can call on the whole village to attack! "Even if you can't count on the villagers to do it, you can use them to distract the thieves.

……………………

Chen Ji and Guoshanfeng and the gang infiltrated the village without any obstacles, they were all used to being thieves, and they passed through the open gate of the village wall, and they didn't even alarm the watchdogs. Follow the path of inquiry, and feel the Han family's house. Everything went smoothly beyond imagination, just when Chen Ji thought that victory was imminent and he would be able to slash his revenge immediately, a loud roar broke the tranquility of the winter night and shattered his illusions.

"There are thieves entering the village! Guard the door! ”

With Han Gang's roar, dozens of watchdogs in the village barked wildly, one by one the lights turned on, and the voices of people were turbulent, coming from every household in the village.

Chen Ji's face changed drastically, could it be that there was a leak of the news. In his more than 20 years of raiding career, he has never lost the wind: "Quick! Rush over, cut people and leave! ”

A man turned out of the fork in the road at this moment, and a short but broad figure blocked the front. The moonlight did not shine on his face, and his expression was hidden in the darkness, except for an arrow on a longbow, glittering with moonlight.

"It's not going to work." A slightly deep voice, with a heavy sense of oppression.

The mountain wind laughed and said viciously: "With your bow, you dare to block grandpa's road?!" ”

The people who followed the mountain wind were bandits who had fallen into the grass for several years or even more than ten years, and they couldn't remember how many times they had robbed the place, and they didn't care about killing people like killing chickens and dogs. Several magistrates of Longcheng County have suffered from them, and they have also seriously injured a county lieutenant, and many local soldiers have been killed and wounded, not to mention only one person?!

With a distance of only more than ten steps, no matter how good your archery skills are, how many can you shoot? There are many roads in the village, and on the narrow village roads, bows and arrows cannot be used at all. Therefore, the mountain wind led people into the village tonight, and they were all two long and short soldiers, and they did not carry cumbersome longbows and arrows at all.

"Kill him!" At the sound of the mountain wind, a group of minions stepped forward. They are all veterans who are used to fighting, their bodies are lowered when they rush forward, their left hand protects the front door, and their right hand holding a knife blocks their hearts, even if they are hit by one or two arrows in their arms, they can't die.

There was a humming sound, and the bowstring moved, but the string was too long, and the aftermath was endless. Chen Ji listened to it in his ears and felt a little trance, this is an arrow? Soon he knew that it was not one arrow, it was seven arrows!

The rapidly trembling bowstring seemed to become illusory, and in the continuous humming strings, long arrows shot out. The distance of more than a dozen steps was only halfway through, and the seven minions in front all fell down, each holding their lower abdomen and screaming and rolling on the ground. I can't shoot the head, I can't shoot the chest, and the only thing that can be shot is the lower abdomen. Wang Sunchen reduced the number of arrows, but doubled the accuracy, and none of the seven arrows missed, so that the thieves who followed behind did not dare to step forward.

"Who are you?" The mountain wind was frightened and angry. There are not many people in Qin Fenglu, how could such a master come out of the ground?

"Wang Sunsin!" A scream came from behind the mountain wind. Wang Sunchen's beaded archery skills have long been famous, and Chen Ji did not know anyone who Wang Sunchen, but he had heard of his arrows. Who else will be the sharpshooter by Han Gang's side? Only Wang Sunsin!

"It's Chen Ji, right? ......" Wang Sunsin asked leisurely, and with a movement of his hands, another long arrow appeared on the bow arm. After a round of rapid fire, Wang Sunchen's arm was also a little sore, and he couldn't shoot the second round for the time being, but the damage he caused made the enemy in front of him dare not act rashly.

"Medium !!"

A wild roar whipped up a gust of wind, and two stone locks whizzed past Wang Sunsin's sides and flew towards the thieves who were hugging each other. The two bandits couldn't dodge and were hit in the chest. In the thrilling sound of bones shattering, two clouds of blood mist erupted, and the two of them flew upside down together. Their ribs were shattered, their chests were completely deflated, and they were corpses with their hearts and lungs shattered while they were still in the air. knocked down several companions behind him in succession, and fell to the ground with two thuds, no longer moving.

Zhao Long's tall and bear-like figure emerged from the darkness and appeared beside Wang Sunsin. After throwing out the two stone locks, in his hands were two shiny six-edged cooked copper slips. The cup was more than twice as thick as an ordinary iron slip, and it was held tightly in his hand. Zhao Long turned his wrist slightly, and there was a vicious sound of breaking wind.

There are only two people in front of me, and there are nearly twenty of them, what should I do?

Chen Ji made a decision in an instant - escape!

He turned and fled!

ps: Several masters are waiting for the battle, Han San is in command, and the captives are wiped out while talking and laughing (the word is right).
