Chapter 248: Death at My Hands
"Mr. Lin!" The jailer snorted in a low voice, and after provoking Lin Le to turn around, he hurriedly bent down and arched his hand: "Right now, the people of Qingcheng have arrived outside the city gate, Mr. Lin, it's better to first-"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Le threw the knife to the ground, he glared at Wei Xiuyuan, who was still silent, and then walked out indignantly.
After thinking about it, I didn't expect that someone could break out of the defenses of Yuncheng and run to Qingcheng to ask Sun Bin for help.
Lin Le flicked his sleeves fiercely, a little regretful.
When Wei Xiuyuan wanted to come to Yuncheng, he communicated with him early, although he could prepare in advance, but because of the secret guards given by the emperor, he could only stand still in the early stage, and wait until he gained the trust of the four people before acting.
Seeing that Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan doted on their wives so much, he persuaded the two to go to the hot spring pool, and then sent all of his people to assassinate those secret guards.
Of course, Xia Wanrou and Xiaoman were not his ultimate goal at all, so he ordered the bandits on the mountain to rob the two of them, of course, Lu Li could rush up the mountain with so many people, and he could detain all the bandits, he never expected it.
He originally thought that the secret guards who followed the two ladies were all the people who could be used by Lu Li and the others, but he didn't expect that some of them would still be left in the mansion......
Therefore, there were so many mistakes later, which caused Lu Li to doubt himself, Lin Le had to implement the plan in advance, so that he was not well prepared, and let the secret guard escape from Yuncheng and go to Qingcheng to find a helper to come back.
Just thinking about it, Lin Le also walked to the council hall of the mansion.
Seeing him coming, the prefect and a group of people hurriedly got up, and the prefect took the lead and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, now the entire Yuncheng is surrounded by Sun Bin's men and horses, and the city gate is still circling, but I think, it's only half an hour, you say, what should we do next?" β
"How is it so fast?" Lin Le was a little surprised.
He listened to the jailer's report, and thought that it would take at least three more hours for Su Bin's men to arrive in Yuncheng, and within three hours, how could he come up with a way to resist the other party, but he didn't expect that Sun Bin had already arrived.
He has been in Yuncheng for many years and has cultivated a lot of contacts and troops, even if he is given another hour, he has 100% confidence to resist Su Bin.
But now, Sun Bin has arrived.
How can the action be so fast?
"Mr. Lin, your hot spring pool has been destroyed a long time ago, and the shopkeeper ran back to report the news desperately, so it was naturally too late." Speaking of this, the prefect also had some resentment, "If you hadn't done it so quickly, we wouldn't have been unprepared at all, now it's okay, Sun Bin is outside the door, what the hell are we ......?"
"What's the hurry?!" Lin Le couldn't bear to interrupt him, and raised his hand to push the person aside.
He found a random place to sit, ignoring the people around him for the time being. Lin Le took the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, frowned and stared at the blanket on the ground, silently thinking in his heart.
Sun Bin was a military general before, and he was more experienced than everyone here in this kind of thing about leading troops to fight.
But if it was a strategy, he wouldn't be so confident that he would be able to hide it from Sun Bin, not to mention that Lu Li couldn't see through it at all, and he really didn't know how many backhands the other party had.
If you go to notify all the soldiers and horses nearby at this time, will it be too eye-catching, in case it attracts the attention of others, and then lure the emperor over, it will be more than worth the loss, but if you don't integrate the troops at this time, you may not be able to resist Sun Bin.
What to do, it was too difficult to come up with a strategy in such a tight time.
"Your Excellency!" Outside the door, the voice of the little guy suddenly sounded, "My lord! Oh no, there's an accident outside, no! β
The voice was getting closer, Lin Le didn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly got up and ran to the door, "What's wrong, say it slowly!" β
"Sun Bin's soldiers and horses have broken through the city gate, and they are about to come to the government office!" The little servant fell to his knees, and did not dare to raise his head, shaking like chaff.
The gates have been breached......
Lin Le's calves were weak and he almost fell to the ground, how could it be so fast, how could Sun Bin come so quickly......
Seeing that Lin Le's face changed, the prefect was even more frightened and hurriedly threw himself beside Lin Le, hugging the other party's thigh and shouting: "Mr. Lin, what should I do?" What are we going to do? Sun Bin is here, Su Bin is here with someone, Mr. Lin, I-ah! β
"What are you yelling about?!" Lin Le kicked away the prefect and said angrily: "Even if Sun Bin comes, we didn't kill anyone, we didn't set fire, but we just took in a few prisoners, even if Sun Bin comes, what can we do?" β
Saying that, Lin Le himself believed what he said, and he muttered to himself: "Yes, we're not wrong, we didn't do anything, we just imprisoned a few criminals, it won't be good!" β
The prefect lay on the ground, his body trembled, where did he still have the heart to listen to what Lin Le said.
"Quick!" Lin Le shouted: "Bring out Lu Li and the others in the dungeon!" β
Hearing this shout, the prefect suddenly came back to his senses, and he trembled and got up, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?" β
Lin Le didn't care about him, he didn't exist at all, he was busy deploying officers and soldiers, and ordered his subordinates, but he didn't even look at the prefect, "Go and escort Lu Li and the others over, I want to watch it myself!" Just go! β
"Yes!"
The officers and men were ordered to go to the dungeon, untie the chains that bound the four men, put new chains on their wrists and ankles, and fix the copper locks, and then led the men out of the dungeon and in the direction of the council hall.
In the past, Lu Li had already kicked down the jailer and escaped with the four of them, even if he had this thousand-pound iron chain, he couldn't stop him.
But now that Lu Li was injured, the doctor specially instructed him not to use force, not to mention that he had been imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon all night, so he could only follow the jailer slowly forward until he reached the council hall.
The four were chained together, and if one moved, the other three would have to move with them. The four of them stood in a row, all unkempt and thinly dressed, but Rao was so, but they straightened their waists, and they did not look sluggish.
Seeing this, Lin Le's anger became more and more vigorous.
At this time, what are they still insisting on, what are they proud of, are they still waiting for Sun Bin to save them? A group of guys who don't die without the heart of the Yellow River!
He clenched his back molars, his eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and his face was hideous: "Don't you still think that Sun Bin will come to save you?" I also really wondered, you are all dying, what are you doing so calmly, are you really naΓ―ve to think that Sun Bin is here to save you? Qingcheng is so close to Yuncheng, how sure are you that he didn't take refuge in me? β
"Lin Le, don't think everyone is as dirty as you!" Wei Xiuyuan retorted loudly, "Sun Bin is my father-in-law's protΓ©gΓ©, and he is still a soldier who once fought on the battlefield!" Unlike a vile and shameless villain like you! β
Lin Le was not annoyed by the other party's words, but raised his head and laughed, "Yes, Su Bin is different from me." He is a true gentleman, you are also a gentleman, only me, only I am a villain. β
As he spoke, he walked down the steps to Wei Xiuyuan's side, casually pulled out his saber from the waist of the jailer on the side, brought the cold tip of the knife close to the other party, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, today I, a villain, will understand the life of you, a gentleman!" β
As long as the four people can be killed before Su Bin arrives, and then the four people have already been released, and they don't know their whereabouts, Sun Bin will have no choice at that time, if he insists on attacking the city, they will also be convenient to fight.
Even if it is investigated in the future, it is Sun Bin's initiative to provoke, and it has nothing to do with Yuncheng.
Thinking of this, Lin Le smiled and said proudly: "I didn't expect that you were just ordered to check people, but you fell to the point where you are today." β
The cold tip of the knife had already touched Wei Xiuyuan's neck, and after a little bit of strength, a few drops of blood appeared under the tip of the knife.
However, Wei Xiuyuan only frowned, and there was no muffled snort.
Lin Le's laughter became more and more rampant: "Wei Xiuyuan, Wei Xiuyuan, you didn't expect that you would have today, right?" Well? β
As he spoke, he leaned closer, the tip of his nose almost touching the tip of the other's nose.
"I didn't expect that." Wei Xiuyuan took a deep breath, paused, and said, "I didn't expect you to become what you are today, and I didn't expect my trusted friend to actually kill me." β
Lin Le's expression paused slightly, but then it became sharp again, his eyes widened, and he glared at the other party fiercely, his eyes were full of madness.
At the same time, his subordinates increased their strength a little more, and the blood beads on Wei Xiuyuan's neck bubbled up even more, and they were already slowly flowing down the tip of the knife.
"Lin Le!" Xia Wanrou, who was already frightened, screamed, her voice trembled, and she brought out a few tears: "What are you going to do?" Xiuyuan has no grievances with you, why are you doing this? What's in it for you to do that?! β
Lin Leqian turned around and glared with his teeth: "What I want to do, then do it, even if there is no injustice or hatred!" Even if it's not good! I want to kill him! Why, can't you?! β
As he spoke, he jerked back his long knife and waved his hand, threatening to cut it down.
Wei Xiuyuan closed his eyes quietly, looking like he had already seen through life and death.
Xia Wanrou's liver and intestines were broken, her voice was already hoarse, and Xiao Man also clenched her heart, and two lines of tears were silently left in the corners of her eyes.
Only Lu Li always tilted his head and looked at the roof in the distance in a daze, as if he was waiting for someone else.
"Ahh Lin Le roared, exerted all his strength, and cut down on Wei Xiuyuan's neck.
"Jingle Bellβ"
A stone suddenly flew from a distance, and it happened to hit Lin Le's wrist, and the long knife fell to the ground in response.
Lin Le screamed in pain and unwillingly, and raised his head to look around.
The imaginary pain did not come, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but slowly open his eyes, but happened to see a person falling from the roof in the distance, he was masked, holding a long sword in his hand, and stabbed straight at Lin Le.
