Chapter 4: Sneak Attack
The quiet tunnel, the shackled chains "clanged", Lu Nuanyu held his breath, slowed down, and relied on his sense of hearing to judge the surrounding environment, suddenly, the subtle sound of movement drifted into Lu Nuanyu's ear cavity, Lu Nuanyu's body opened to the left, and a big hand flew into the air, sticking to Lu Nuanyu's right shoulder.
Lu Nuanyu immediately threw his hands to the right, and the shackled iron chains were thrown behind him like an iron whip, and the black-clothed man behind him was unexpected, the iron chain hit his chest heavily, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't even have the courage to fight in the open? Deal with me a weak woman and still have to sneak attack? Lu Nuanyu said sarcastically.
Lu Nuanyu's voice has not yet dissipated, and the footsteps in the tunnel have increased, indicating that the other party is not only ambushed in the tunnel. Lu Nuanyu's pink eyes were cold, thanks to the fact that the other party did not shackle her, she was able to perform an excellent light skill, she shuttled between enemies, continuously changing positions, the dark tunnel was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe with the naked eye, the black-clothed man in the tunnel lost his target, and could not determine which person was Lu Nuanyu, everyone was deadlocked, and did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Nuanyu smiled coldly, all of them here were her enemies, she didn't need to distinguish friend from foe, one of her heavy kicks hit a man in black in the abdomen, and the man in black was kicked back a few steps in a row, crashing into the other men in black.
Lu Nuanyu was not in love with the war, and immediately shifted his position again.
Not far away, a man fused with the darkness, silently, he closed his eyes, quietly listening to the slightest movement in the tunnel, he waited patiently for a long time, his eyes suddenly opened, the whole figure flickered, and he had already left the place, and at this time Lu Nuanyu was going around the back of a man in black, and kicked the man in black again, the man in black was not unexpected, and was kicked forward, but Lu Nuanyu was shocked in her heart at this moment, she noticed that a person had gone around her back.
The praying mantis fluttered the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, Lu Nuanyu hurriedly turned around to deal with the sneak attack from behind, but it was too late at that moment, a little cold light flashed in the dark tunnel, and the man held a silver needle between his fingers, and the silver needle was like a meteor cutting through the dark night sky, straight through Lu Nuanyu's white skin, and pierced Lu Nuanyu's neck.
Lu Nuanyu's neck hurt, she tried her best to slap the man with a palm, and the man actually took the palm with his palm and took Lu Nuanyu's palm.
The two of them agreed, each took a step back, the man slowly retracted his palm, and stood with his hands in his hands, but Lu Nuanyu was not so calm, the silver needle pierced in the neck was coated with numbness, and the poison quickly invaded her body, she felt that her hands and feet were paralyzed, and she couldn't help but shake her body.
The man ignored Lu Nuanyu and turned around and walked straight to the tunnel exit.
Lu Nuanyu's heart was like a stormy wave, there were not many people in the world who could take her palm head-on, and the man's ability to sneak attack successfully showed that his light skills were also very good, Lu Nuanyu never expected that he would meet such a strong opponent here.
As time passed, Lu Nuanyu's hands and feet gradually became paralyzed and weak, and he collapsed to the ground, although he was conscious, he couldn't use his hands and feet.
Lu Nuanyu sat paralyzed on the ground, and a quarter of an hour later, two men in black stepped forward and set up Lu Nuanyu, Lu Nuanyu was powerless to resist, and let the man in black set him up, and then walked out of the tunnel.
Leaving the dark tunnel, the bright sunlight reflected on Lu Nuanyu's delicate face, like a lotus flower after the rain, with a few drops of fragrant sweat crawling on his forehead, Lu Nuanyu saw a dragon chariot parked in front of him, and the dragon chariot was carved with a majestic five-clawed golden dragon.
Could it be that the emperor is coming? Lu Nuanyu frowned.
But after a closer look, Lu Nuanyu found that this dragon chariot is a little special, first of all, the dragon chariot of heaven is pulled by six horses, but this dragon chariot only has four horses, and again there is a small plaque hanging on this dragon chariot, and the plaque is engraved with the words "patrol for the sky".
There has never been any plaque hanging on the dragon chariot of the Son of Heaven, Lu Nuanyu was puzzled, and looked carefully ahead.
Patrol for the sky? Lu Nuanyu stared, this seems to be the folk legend of the dragon patrol, the dragon patrol is hung on the four-character plaque of "patrol for the sky", of which the word "sky" in these four words, there are two sayings in the folk, one is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, the other is the meaning of the sky, which means to inspect the world for the sky.
But according to rumors, this dragon patrol has been placed in the palace, almost will not go out of the palace, the last time out of the palace was five years ago, the Liang Emperor ordered the royal drive to march in person, but on the way out of the emperor relapsed from the old disease, can not continue to go with the army, in order not to hit the morale of the soldiers of the three armies, at that time it was the second prince to take this dragon patrol chariot with the army, by the dragon patrol instead of the son of heaven to inspect the three armies.
Now that the dragon patrol has appeared here, and the person sitting in the dragon patrol is very likely to be the fourth prince who took over the case, so it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to the disappearance of the Xianbei envoy, and the appearance of the dragon patrol is equivalent to the emperor personally investigating the case.
"You are Lu Nuanyu?" A deep man's voice came from the dragon patrol.
Lu Nuanyu snorted coldly, "I can't imagine that the fourth prince is so despicable, dealing with me as a weak woman, not daring to be upright, and shameless enough to let people ambush and sneak attack in the tunnel." ”
"How can Lu Nuanyu, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, be a weak woman? If it weren't for the sneak attack, how many people in the world would be able to control you? ”
Lu Nuanyu forced a smile, "It seems that the fourth prince has investigated me." ”
"This king has always admired the heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to be your enemy, so I hope you don't embarrass this king." The voice in the dragon patrol paused, and then continued, "Tell this king the whereabouts of the Xianbei envoy, and this king will keep you safe and sound. ”
"I have already told Chen Zhutou of Dali Temple, the Xianbei envoy is in Linlangfang, and he sold it a few days ago."
"Seven days ago, someone was indeed sold into Linlangfang, but it was not a Xianbei envoy."
"It seems that the four princes have been to Linlangfang, I don't know if the four princes have investigated Qi Yuxin who was sold into Linlangfang seven days ago?"
The people in the dragon patrol were silent for a while, and only after a long time did they speak, "This king knows your purpose, but you just want to use the Xianbei envoy as a threat to force this king to investigate Qi Yuxin's case. ”
"Now that the Four Princes know my purpose, what are the Four Princes going to do?" Lu Nuanyu stared at Long Xunyan and said threateningly, "If the four princes want to solve the case, I'm afraid they can only meet my requirements, otherwise if I don't hand over the Xianbei envoy for a day, the four princes won't be able to solve the case for a day." ”
"Do you know why you're here to talk to me?" The people in the dragon patrol were slightly angry, "Many of the people who fell into the hands of this king are far less fortunate than you, and they have been sent to be tortured before they even have a chance to confess. ”
Lu Nuanyu smiled, "It seems that I am quite a lucky person." ”
"This king sees that you are a talent, and he has the heart to accept you under the command of this king, you should not be pampered and arrogant." The voice that came from the dragon patrol became much more serious, "The torture of Dali Temple is definitely not something you can bear, it is enough for you to speak. ”
"In that case, the Four Princes sent me to give it a try."
"Can you think about it? With some torture, your life will be ruined, your appearance and martial arts will be lost, even if you survive, I am afraid that you will be a waste person in the future. ”
"Thank you for the concern of the four princes, I have made up my mind, unless the four princes track down Qi Yuxin's case, I would rather die than hand over the Xianbei envoy."
The people in the dragon patrol sighed helplessly, "Fill her with some more anesthetic, and then send her to Dali Temple for punishment." ”
"Command." A man in black took out a porcelain bottle, then pinched open Lu Nuanyu's mouth and poured the medicine in the porcelain bottle into Lu Nuanyu's mouth.
