Chapter 499: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

Seeing that Ling Muyun and Huang Rong were so prominent and leaving, leaving only a mess, everyone present was a little dumbfounded for a while, they really couldn't imagine so many people, they couldn't stop the other two people, so they let the family rush out unscathed, but they themselves suffered heavy losses.

Ling Muyun and Huang Rong are both real innate masters, and they are extremely educated, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond their peers, so although the battle lasted for a short time, the casualties on the official side were quite heavy. In just a few breaths, the troops who came to participate in the capture suffered dozens of casualties.

Although the number of casualties in Yulongwei is not large, they are all good hands under the command of Lian Hong himself, and the quasi-first-class masters who have become successful the day after tomorrow are enough to become the head of a small force in the rivers and lakes, even among some famous factions, they are definitely the backbone of the pivotal force.

Even if it is as powerful as a fish dragon guard, it doesn't mean that it can be taken out, and now that Ling Muyun and Huang Rong have killed these dozen or so, it is equivalent to knocking out nearly half of the high-end forces in the hands of Lian Hong, the general of the fish dragon guard, who is responsible for the supervision of Dengzhou, and when it comes to losses, it is far above the troops he transferred to participate in the capture.

At this time, the few fish dragon guards who were repelled by Ling Muyun's shock injuries and were lucky enough not to die also endured their injuries and came to Lian Hong's face, and one of them asked him carefully, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do? What should I do to teach you? Lian Hong was so angry that he kicked the questioning fish dragon guard and scolded: "A bunch of fools." If you don't immediately notify the guards of the city gates, seal off the city gates, put the whole city under martial law, and search them strictly, you must not let them escape out of the city! ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, let's do it."

Several fish dragon guards now know that Lian Hong is angry, where do they dare to stay here and touch his moldy head? Including the fish dragon guard who was kicked and almost fell, they all nodded hurriedly in agreement. They then went their separate ways. hurriedly left to convey Lian Hong's order.

It's just that don't look at these fish and dragon guards who are all following orders, but they can't help but secretly slander themselves in their hearts, with the strength of Ling Muyun and the others, they can still break through under their heavy encirclement. How can it be grasped by simply sealing the city gates, imposing martial law on the whole city, and searching the city?

What if the gates are blocked? Can't the other party come out of the city? These methods are used to catch ordinary small thieves. I want to catch two innate masters. Isn't that a joke? What role can it play other than tiring your own people?

Looking at the few subordinates who seemed to be hiding from the plague god and left in a hurry, Lian Hong clenched his teeth and turned pale.

In fact, he didn't know how to know. Nine times out of ten, he will do this in vain? It's just that the failure of this arrest made him unable to get out of his heart, and if he didn't do anything, he would be even more depressed!

In fact, not only was Lian Hong depressed, but those soldiers were even more unhappy in their hearts, and their gaze at him was also quite unkind.

Because of the responsibility of the Yulongwei, not only for the people in the martial arts, but also for the ordinary people from within the court, so except for the Yulongwei himself, others have no good impression of the Yulongwei, and these soldiers are no exception.

This arrest was originally a matter of Yulongwei, and it had nothing to do with them at all, but as a result, Lian Hong said a word, and they were seconded to participate in the arrest of thieves and thieves. Just doing more work is enough, who would have thought that the lives of dozens of comrades would be taken in at once, and it is no wonder that these soldiers can be happy.

Although the army occasionally participates in the capture and encirclement of people in the martial arts, it is generally aimed at those acquired martial artists, but whenever it comes to the innate masters, they will deliberately arrange the corresponding masters to deal with them, and let them let a group of ordinary soldiers to capture the two innate masters, and the corresponding masters have not been arranged to be responsible for containment, isn't this a joke with their lives?

And Lian Hong, as a master of the congenital realm of small success, naturally saw the reactions of those sergeants in his eyes, and his heart became more and more depressed.

Angry and angry, Lian Hong had no intention of staying here longer, so he immediately ordered someone to simply clean up the battlefield, bring all the dead and wounded, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops. Only the bloodstains on the streets and the uncleaned fragments of arrows and blades were left behind, indicating that there had just been a bloody battle here.

After Lian Hong led all the people to leave, a noble man wearing a brocade robe and unparalleled in beauty strolled out of a teahouse not far from the place of the fight with a folding fan.

Looking at the direction in which Ling Muyun and the others had left, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that this descendant of Ling Yuantu really has two sons, and ...... It doesn't seem to be a pure sword technique to ward off evil spirits? It's kind of interesting! Why did the people of the Ichthyosaurus find him? It's getting more and more interesting! ”

After speaking, the noble prince played the folding fan in his hand twice, and then unfolded the folding fan with a flick of his wrist, revealing a cluster of purple and red peony flowers painted on the fan, and then gently shook the folding fan, turned around and strolled away with a smile.

The next thing turned out as many people had already guessed.

Under Lian Hong's order, Kaifeng County sealed the city gate, the whole city was under martial law, posted a reward wanted notice, and the officials sent soldiers to search the whole city. It's just that even though the whole city was jumped, the search was carried out until the time when the lights were opened, and there was no shadow of Ling Muyun and Huang Rong.

In the end, Lian Hong still got a report from a soldier guarding the city, saying that in the afternoon, he seemed to have seen two figures flying over the city walls.

Lian Hong asked him why he didn't report it at that time, and the soldier said that he didn't see it too clearly at the time, and thought he was dazzled. Later, when he got off his job and went home, he saw that the soldiers in the city were searching for key criminals in the whole city with great fanfare, and he also offered a reward for being wanted, saying that those who provided clues also had a heavy reward, and the wanted criminals happened to be two people, so he remembered this matter, so he ran to report the clues with a try-out attitude to see if he could get a reward.

After listening to the soldier's answer, Lian Hong was so angry that he almost jumped on the spot, and he didn't report it until the evening, and he didn't know where he had gone, and he wanted a reward?

As a result, Lian Hong did not give the soldier a reward, not to mention, but also ordered his subordinates to whip the soldier fiercely, beat him half to death, and then charged with dereliction of duty and sent it to the city defense garrison for his own disposal.

……

As night fell, the sky was full of stars, and the search in Kaifeng County, which lasted for nearly half a day, finally stopped. However, martial law did not stop, and a curfew was enforced, so that the county town of Kaifeng was not only calm again, but also a little calmer than usual.

At the second watch, two black shadows escaped the soldiers patrolling the city at night, jumped down from the city wall near the west gate, quietly entered the city without knowing it, and then flew towards the city. These two people are none other than Ling Muyun and Huang Rong.

It turned out that after Ling Muyun and Huang Rong broke through and escaped under the round-up led by Lian Hong's troops during the day, although they escaped from Kaifeng City over the wall, they did not flee far away, but temporarily settled in a small village nearby.

Because Ling Muyun and Huang Rong couldn't figure out why they were rounded up by the Yulongwei and their troops, they were unwilling to become wanted criminals by the government in such a daze. So after discussing it, the two unanimously decided that they would be unable to move during the day, and that they would go into the city at night to explore, at least to understand the reason why they were arrested by the government.

Patiently waited until nightfall, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong changed into night clothes, black gauze masks, quietly came out of the small village where they settled, came to the city wall outside the city wall, carefully avoided the soldiers patrolling the city at night, and then performed light skills to cross the city wall and sneak back to Kaifeng County again.

And the target of their entry into the city this time was not elsewhere, it was the command yamen of the guard post set up by the Yulong Guard in the Kaifeng county city. The so-called unjust debtor has the owner, since it is the person who is responsible for commanding and arresting them during the day is the person who is responsible for the arrest of Yulongwei, then directly find Yulongwei, and naturally be able to figure out the reason why the two were arrested by the government.

Although it was inevitable to take a lot of risks in this way, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong didn't care. Who are the two? That's the master who even dares to break into the palace, what is the command of the yamen of a mere fish and dragon guard?

Since the two of them had been in front of the Yamen of the guard post command of the Yulong Guard when they were shopping in Kaifeng County during the day, they didn't need to ask for directions after entering the city, and they went straight to the direction of the Yamen commanded by the guard post.

Because the curfew is being enforced in Kaifeng City, you can meet patrolling city guards on the street from time to time. But what kind of characters are Ling Muyun and Huang Rong, naturally they easily dodged the curfew patrol soldiers along the way, walked through the house and the eaves and walls, and soon came to the command yamen of the guard post set up in Kaifeng City.

Seeing that there were guards guarding the door of the guard post command yamen, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong naturally would not be stupid enough to break through the gate, but turned to the back wall of the guard post command yamen, and after listening to the fact that there was no movement inside, the two of them immediately crossed the wall and entered.

However, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong didn't know that the two of them had just entered the guard post command yamen with their front feet, and a person appeared on the roof of a mansion not far from the back wall of the guard post command yamen.

Seeing that the figures of the two had already submerged into the courtyard wall of the guard post command yamen, the man smiled slightly, and fell from the roof to the front of the house with a stride, and then walked towards the back wall of the guard post command yamen, and did not see how hard this person jumped, and in a few steps, he had already swept a distance of dozens of zhang, and then he floated into the back wall of the yamen.
