Chapter 41: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
This story is pure fiction
A group of four people traveled to Wugong County (now Wugong County, Shaanxi), the sky had entered dusk, and the four of them were also tired, so they found an inn casually and asked for two rooms to set up camp.
Wugong County, not all the people in the city know martial arts, it is called Wugong County, Wugong County has always been changed from a county to a county, and from a county to a county, but the word martial arts has not been changed. The most famous place here is that twenty years later, a very famous figure was born here, that is, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin has not been born yet, and there will be no seizure of power and usurpation in Wugong County, even if he is born, it will happen in Chang'an, not this small Wugong County.
The three of them are really tired, and it is estimated that Su Xilong is in good spirits. They just want to find a good place to rest, and there is nothing else to ask for, they are almost always in a hurry, hurrying, and continuing to hurry. This may be the doom they used to protect the Jade Buddha.
No, things are coming to them again.
As soon as they had finished eating and were about to rest, they would arrive at Chencang tomorrow, but before they could fall asleep, they heard a commotion outside, as if many officers and soldiers had surrounded the inn. Jingkong and Qiao'er have one room, and Su Xilong and Youtian have one room, so that the two who know martial arts can protect the two who don't know martial arts. As soon as they heard movement outside, Su Xilong and Youtian knocked on the door and entered their room.
"Qiao'er, the voice outside doesn't seem to be right, it seems to be an officer and soldier, they won't come at us, right?" You Tian said to Qiao'er.
"I don't know, is it for the daytime? It shouldn't be so fast, even if it's for daytime, they should be going in the direction of Pingliang, shouldn't they arrive at Wugong County so soon? Qiao'er also wondered, and then said to Su Xilong: "Brother Xilong, if you really come to us in a while, you must protect the clear space and Brother Youtian." If I fight a bloody road, you will escape from the inn with them, find a place to hide, mark the road with a fork, mark your foothold with a circle, and I will look for you when the time comes. ”
"What about you? Can you deal with so many officers and soldiers alone? Su Xilong was a little worried about Qiao'er.
"I can't beat so many of them, but I can run faster than them." Qiao'er said to Su Xilong, and then ridiculed Jingkong: "Look, if you learn the light skills, I won't worry about you, Brother Xilong alone can protect Brother You Tian alone." ”
"Alright! Don't make fun of me at this time, when I go out, I will definitely practice hard. Qingkong said a little apologetically.
"You stay in the house first, I'll see first, if it's really coming at us, Brother Xilong will take the two of you to run through the window." Qiao'er said to the three of them.
"Okay, I'll keep both of them safe. Then do as you say. Su Xilong assured Qiao'er.
After Qiao'er finished speaking, she opened the door a crack, looked outside, and understood in her heart that this was coming for them.
Who's out there?
It was the only officer Qiao'er let go, this officer did not go back to Chang'an to report Yuwen Zhao, but followed them from afar until Wugong County, and after seeing them enter the inn, he ran to the county government to find the county master to ask someone to arrest them, the county master of Wugong County is a person from Yuwen Zhao, so when the officer went to the county master to tell him about this, the county master didn't think about it, and sent someone to ask the envoy (local military and political chief), while sending someone to arrest the officer. The officer didn't dare to act rashly on the part of the county government, so he waited outside the inn for a while, waiting for the envoy to gather with five hundred elite soldiers, and then let the envoy surround the inn and prepare to go in and arrest people, so that Qiao'er and them would find out.
Qiao'er said to Su Xilong: "Brother Xilong, see if there is anyone outside the window, you take the two of them first." ”
Su Xilong gently pushed the window open and looked out, but there was no one. Then he opened the window, jumped down, and then caught the clearance and the sky downstairs. But just after walking a few steps, he met the officers and soldiers who came to surround him, fortunately, there were not many officers and soldiers here on the back wall, Su Xilong opened his bow left and right, and soon killed a way out and disappeared into the night.
Qiao'er couldn't let all the officers and soldiers chase Su Xilong and them, so he took out the mask from his bosom and put it on, and then killed him from the hall of the inn to the door. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the officer who had been let go and a man who looked like a general, with more than 200 people, draining the water in front of the inn. The officer who let go was really startled when he saw a man in a horror mask come out, because he had experienced the scene of five or six of his men falling like this in just a moment.
"Who the hell are you? Put down the murder weapon in your hand and surrender, I will spare you from death. The envoy said to Qiao'er, who was wearing a mask.
"I'm a hell of a soul seeker, and I've come to ask for your life." The mask makes a terrifying sound.
"Don't scare people here, if you don't surrender, don't blame me for being polite!" The envoy said a little weakly.
"You surrender quickly, if you don't surrender, I will let you die without a place to be buried, even King Qi Yang can't save you!" The officer who let him go said.
"Hmph...... It's up to you? The mask sneered, and continued, "I shouldn't have let you go in the first place!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light saw a blood mark on the neck of the officer who had been released, and a column of blood spurted out, and before he could even speak, he fell to the ground, trembled twice, and died with a whimper.
The envoy was frightened, hurriedly took a few steps back, and gave an order: "Hurry up and catch this demon, this general will be rewarded." ”
When the officers and men heard the envoy's order, they all pounced.
Qiao'er fought left and right, and after a while, more than a dozen of them lay down in front of him, and the other officers and soldiers were also frightened, and the pace of the attack also slowed down. Qiao'er knows that if she continues to consume like this, she will be physically exhausted and will definitely be caught. While he was blocking, he was thinking about how to break out of the encirclement. Qiao'er was optimistic about a vacancy, jumped up, and prepared to fly out with her own light skills. But the moment he flew out, Qiao'er felt deceived, and suddenly cast a huge net from the sky and caught Qiao'er, Qiao'er was caught by the net, and fell to the ground hard, thinking in his heart, this is over, either captured or killed.
At this juncture when Qiao'er was waiting for death, the officers and soldiers saw that Qiao'er was caught in the net, and they all surrounded him and prepared to take credit. Just as the officers and men were coming to surround them, suddenly a flying fan flew in front of the officers and soldiers in the first row, and those officers and soldiers fell to the ground in response, and they did not know where the sky sprinkled a lot of flour. When the flour had dissipated, they looked at the net on the ground, and there was no trace of the huge man.
"To search the whole city, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must also search out a few of their demons." The envoy was angry.
