Chapter 37: Horse Grabbing

Several people did not move for a moment, and squatted down in the dry grass.

Li Yiru lay on the ground and listened for a while, "At most, there are eight or nine people walking around in the room...... The caravan itself was a dozen or so people, plus the officials in the post station, so there must be more than two dozen people, right? ”

"Maybe someone else is asleep." Bai Ling said softly, "After all, it's so late......"

Li Yiru was stunned for a moment, "That's right." ”

He patted the grass clippings stuck to his body, and was about to stand up again, but Mu Cheng pressed him down again.

"Since there is doubt, then we should be careful." Mu Cheng said softly, "Let's go around the backyard first." ”

Before the three of them could move, a man walked out of the inn, who seemed to be on patrol as usual, carrying a lantern, walked around the perimeter of the inn, and then returned to the house.

The three of them watched the man's whereabouts in the grass until all was at peace again, and then he cautiously rose again.

"There's also patrolling the inn." Li Yiru said softly, "The corridor aisle, the backyard...... Both. ”

Mu Cheng nodded, and suddenly rejoiced in his heart. In the past, when he was a fast catcher, he had developed the ability to find his way and track, and it was not difficult for him to explore the backyard of the post station in this wilderness...... But fortunately, Li Yiru is on their side at this time, otherwise no one can stop it.

The backyard of the post station is an old stone-walled courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard is also hung with tall white lanterns, and the word "驿" is printed on each side of the lantern.

The courtyard door was closed, but the courtyard wall was only one person high, Mu Cheng sneaked to the corner of the wall where firewood was piled up, leaned against the wall and listened for a while, then grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, slowly got up, and looked at the situation inside the wall.

There was a well in the backyard, and two people were drawing water from the well, and then carrying and poking it, scouring the stone and brick floor.

The two of them were working while scolding and scolding, Mu Cheng tried to listen for a while, but he couldn't really listen - maybe he could ask Li Yiru if he heard clearly.

The backyard of the inn looked completely renovated, the stone bricks on the ground looked new, and other than that, there seemed nothing to attract attention until a gust of wind blew.

Mu Cheng was about to let go of his hands and land, but suddenly he smelled a faint fishy smell in the wind.

He squinted his eyes and looked closely at the buckets in the hands of those people and the ground at their feet, only to find that there was a thin layer of blood on the ground, and their color was so light that it would hardly be noticeable if it were not for the purpose of actively searching for it......

No wonder these two are washing the floor here!

Mu Cheng landed silently and quickly sneaked into the two of them in the grass.

"It's another gang of robbers," Mu Cheng said in a low voice, "It should be that they have occupied the official post and taken the opportunity to kill people and goods...... Yesterday's group of caravans is estimated to be more auspicious. ”

“…… It's so cunning," Li Yiru clenched his fists, "and left the horses and wagons outside, pretending that there are merchants living here, then let's hurry up-"

"There's no hurry." Bai Ling looked at the lantern in the backyard of the post station, "...... Anyway, there's a horse here. ”

She turned her head and looked at Mu Cheng, "Shall we think of a way to get a few horses on the road?" ”

"Well, I thought so too." Mu Cheng nodded, "There are so many horses tied here, and there will be no such shop in this village." ”

Li Yiru was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, then I'll listen to the two brothers!" ”

……

A few people slowly returned along the road in the decaying grass and went back to the front door of the inn.

On the opposite side of the inn, outside the open-air stables, two strong men in post robes were guarding, who did not always stand at the exit of the stables, but sometimes looked around the back.

Mu Cheng and Li Yi were divided into two routes, approaching from the north and south sides, and Bai Ling lurked on the west side of the stable, waiting for an opportunity to move—and when Li and Mu had their own ideas to attract the attention of the two bandits, she could take the opportunity to step forward, cut the reins, and run away.

From here, further north, there is a small stone pond about seven or eight miles away, where the three of them can meet at that time.

Bai Ling stared at the two men patrolling in front of the stable.

Strange to say, these two people looked eight feet long, with broad shoulders and thick arms, and although they couldn't see their faces clearly at night, they had an aura of their own when they stood there.

Although there was silence at the moment, the two did not relax in the slightest, patrolling left and right from time to time, and when they heard the sound, they drew their knives and slashed at the nearby grass.

Being so alert doesn't look like a rabble.

Bai Ling secretly pinched his sweat, but fortunately, when a few people approached, they were not noticed by the two people outside the stable, otherwise it would have been a fight at this time.

It's just that in the face of such an enemy, do Mu Cheng and Li Yiru really have a way to successfully attract their attention?

Bai Ling didn't dare to think about anything else, only held his breath and stared at the prospect quietly.

Soon, the east, Mucheng's side, was already heard with bird calls, followed by the sound of stones rolling.

The two men guarding in front of the stable drew their swords at the same time, one followed the sound, and the other kept his feet slightly open, looking vigilantly in the direction from which the sound came, and continued to hold on.

Bai Ling pulled out the dagger behind his waist.

The fence of the stables was not very high, but there were only two crooked beams, and the wooden strips were firmly bound together by ropes to form a half-man's high fence.

A dozen horses were tethered to stakes in the stables, and all she had to do was wait for an opportunity to break in and drive at least three out of the stables.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the dim light, and the candle hanging in the corner of the stable went out.

Bai Ling didn't even see what had extinguished the candle, only that it was a terrible gust of wind.

Almost the next moment, the robber at the door of the stable swung his knife and shot down something that flew at his neck—a crisp crash sounded, and the downed gold leaf turned and plunged into the stake next to the stable.

——Bai Ling exclaimed in his heart, the golden leaf can still be used like this!

The robber barely hesitated, not even panicked, as he cried out, "There are thieves!" "There are thieves!" , while immediately running towards the northeast corner of the stable, there was a yellow bell in the shadows, and if you swung the rope violently, the copper ball on the rope would hit the copper bell with a loud noise.

In the middle of the night, if such a bell rang, I am afraid that people from miles away could hear it.

However, the rope that tied the copper ball had been quietly cut by Bai Ling and the others, and the entire Huang Zhong had been quietly carried up the tree by them, firmly stuck between the branches.

The enemy was strong, Li Yiru did not dare to show his face, he ran fast in the grass of the night, and the gold leaves in his hands flew towards the bandits by the stable one by one—

However, between the knife in his hand, the left and the right dodge, not a single piece of the golden leaf was pierced on the bandit, but he was startled and neighed.

The robber smiled proudly, "Grandpa will play with the thieves today!" Come on! ”

At that moment she plunged into the stable, stepping on the fence and hunched along the outside of the stable, the reins of her hand snapping.
