Chapter 57 - Yin Mo's Trick (I)
Hong Kite has been a sand thief for many years, and naturally she is used to seeing all kinds of tricks, although the distance is a little farther, but she also saw clearly that the two of them hid in the shop together, but now only the president is the only one who comes out, and he is even more angry at the moment, raising his gun on guard, and said angrily to the president: "Return to the sea and fall geese, don't you think I don't know what you are planning, do you think your subordinates can really catch me?"
The guild leader smiled ruffianly, "If it were replaced by my ordinary guild member, I really can't bear it, but this is an apprentice who has been trained by me personally!"
Between the president's words, Chi Mudie had quietly jumped onto the eaves where Hong Kite was standing, bent down and sneaked in front of her, found the right time to fly up and kick the musket in her hand out, and took advantage of the strength of the leg to hook horizontally, tripping Hong Kite and falling off the eaves.
However, Hong Kite was also experienced in a hundred battles, adjusted her stance in the air, took out another short gun from her waist, and shot a few iron bullets with her backhand at Chi Mudie, who was falling with her, Chi Mudie knew that the power of the short spear was far inferior to Fang Cai's longer musket, so he took out his double blade and used the short and narrow blade to accurately pick up the iron bullets that shot out, and sparks flew in an instant.
After Hong Kite landed, she quickly turned around, ready to raise her gun to aim, but before her muzzle was aimed at herself, Chi Mudie raised her legs, and slashed down with the force of falling, Hong Kite's short gun immediately took off her hand and flew behind Ji Mudie.
But Hong Kite obviously didn't plan here, leaned over and picked up the musket that had fallen at the moment when the short gun was out of his hand, and pulled the trigger on Chi Mudie, who was still in the air, Chi Mudie also reacted in an instant, holding the barrel with one hand and pressing down by the inertia of falling, the iron bullet shot obliquely into the doorpost of the Tumen Inn, and was so frightened that the guy who was leaning on the doorpost to watch the excitement ran into the back hall of the inn.
Chi Mudie also stood still at this moment, holding the barrel of Hong Kite's gun with one hand, and looked at her calmly, at this time, the president also walked behind Hong Kite, put one hand on her shoulder, and asked with a smile: "How about it? My apprentice is still passable, right? This necessary pre-meal exercise is also done, why don't you go to the inn with me to drink some wine, dissipate the anger, and have something to say!"
Hong Kite shook off the president's hand, turned around and sneered: "I'm afraid that this meal for you and your companions will go to the Hades Palace to eat!"
After saying this, he bent his finger in front of his mouth and whistled, and then on the top of the sand control wall on the periphery of the Tumen Inn, a row of yellow coarse cloth of the same color as the wall was lifted together, and many sand thieves with muskets stood back to back on top of the thick sand control wall, and began to shoot at both sides inside and outside the Tumen Inn.
There was chaos in the Tumen Inn for a while, the sound of gunfire and the cries of the vendors shook the earth, and Hong Kite also took this opportunity to pull the musket back hard, and the musket not only broke away from Chi Mudie's hand, but also smashed the * in the back on the president's lower abdomen.
The president was like no one, while holding one hand behind his back, spinning the huge pipe of the Phantom Smoke Bear, blocking the flying iron bullets, while using his lower abdomen to push back, and the other hand stretched out, trying to pull Hong Kite's wrist, but Hong Kite turned around, inserted the musket behind him, and took out a pair of daggers with cold light from his waist, stabbed straight towards Chi Mudie, and sneered: "Return to the sea and fall geese, you don't still think that my close combat effectiveness is very poor, right?"
Chi Mudie used the double blades in her hand to block the oncoming dagger, but found that this was actually her feint again, she stabbed Chi Mudie with her left hand at the same time, and her right hand actually threw the dagger directly at the president who was blocking the iron bullet with his pipe, but the president drew the saber with his free hand carelessly, easily picked up the dagger, and also learned Hong Kite's tone and smiled: "Hong Kite, you don't still think that I can only play with the sword with one hand, right?"
Hong Kite was even more angry, and reflexively stabbed the president with another dagger, "It's just that I took away Master Hong's sword, what's so proud!"
At this time, the guy who ran into the inner hall just now also called out the proprietress, and the proprietress stood at the door of the Tumen Inn and shouted a few times to stop, but her voice was drowned out by the sound of gunshots, no one heard it, and naturally no one stopped.
Hong Kite was even more furious when he saw that even the proprietress was helping the president, but he also messed up his moves and was captured by the three of them, but just as the chairman wanted Hong Kite to give the order to stop the gunmen on the wall from continuing to shoot, there was a row of iron bullets shooting straight in their direction.
The president hurriedly pressed Hong Kite to the ground, and Chi Mudie and the proprietress also hurriedly swept away to both sides, only to see Hong Kite sneering on the ground: "Even if you capture me, it is useless, I have already given orders to them, if anyone is captured as a hostage, there is only one result: death." ”
However, as soon as Hong Kite's words fell, the gunmen on the wall stopped shooting together, and Hong Kite struggled on the ground twice angrily, and shouted at the sand thieves on the wall: "Do you all want to rebel?
The sand thieves on the wall all looked at Hong Kite with a sad face. At this time, I heard the trembling voices of the five sand thieves who came with the chairman and his party outside the Tumen Inn: "Boss......! Stop, you're mistaken!"
The president saw that Hong Kite was no longer excited, so he let her go in time. Hong Kite looked at the five sand thieves who were rushing towards her, her expression was stunned at first, and then she greeted her with surprise, "You guys...... Are you alright?"
Several sand thieves looked at Hong Kite inexplicably, "Boss, this is what we want to ask, are you all right? How did you give the token to such a nervous bastard? and the other brothers?"
Hong Kite was stunned again when asked, and looked at the president in confusion, "Isn't the token there?"
The sand thieves still didn't know what was going on, and they looked at the president stupidly, "Ah, the boss of the Dragon's Fang, you picked up our boss's token? But isn't our boss's token in the hands of that bastard? Why is it in the hands of the boss of the Dragon's Fang?"
The president was also confused by them, and waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, go! What boss, that boss, you are talking about tongue twisters here! What kind of token are you talking about, I have never seen it at all, and I don't want to play with it, I still have a bunch of tokens to play with! I just wanted to come here to drink a little wine, but as soon as I came in, I was bombarded by a burst of muskets, and now I can't find the north." I can't stand the toss when I'm old, I'm going to go in and take a rest, and you can ask the ones who come later for other things. ”
When the chairman said this, he pointed behind the sand thieves and pointed to the people who came later, but his eyes suddenly fell on Chi Muyan, who was looking at him with a sneer, and immediately understood what was going on, so he suddenly threw the pipe in his hand high and smashed it at Chi Muyan, "You kid is calculating me again!"
Chi Muyan didn't dodge, but just picked up his staff slightly, and swept the flying pipe in the direction of the Phantom Smoke Bear who was hiding behind the shop and watching the excitement, the Phantom Smoke Bear happily stretched out the bear's paw to hug his pipe, and touched it lovingly, and finally looked up at the president, and patted the pipe dissatisfiedly and whined at him.
At this time, I saw that the proprietress had already climbed a few wooden steps in front of the Tumen Inn, standing in front of the door and looking down at everyone, with a smile on her face, "Now that you are all here, should you give me an explanation first, who should compensate for the shops you damaged, as well as the bricks and tiles on the top floor of my inn?"
Only then did everyone react, and when they turned their heads to look around, they saw that there was a mess all around, the cloth signboards hanging from the surrounding shops and some of the goods placed at the door had been smashed to pieces, the ground was also full of iron bullets from muskets, and the air was still filled with gunsmoke.
Hong Kite was the first to stand up boldly, "Boss, after I find out the truth of this whole thing, we will compensate you and all the nearby shops for their losses." ”
However, the sand thieves who came with the president and his party looked embarrassed, "But the boss...... All of our money and weapons have been taken away by that bastard, and even our brothers have been taken away by him, leaving only the five of us. ”
Hong Kite's face turned pale after hearing this, and he grabbed the sand thief who was talking with his annoyed hands, "What! all of them have moved away? How can you casually follow other people's orders, how did I tell you for so many years?"
The sand thief who was caught by the Hong Kite also panicked, "But...... He took your token from the boss and said it was your order. ”
The proprietress didn't understand, and saw that they didn't seem to be able to explain for a while, so she sighed helplessly: "Come in first, I'll find a place for you to make things clear, don't stand at the door and block everyone's business." ”
So everyone followed the proprietress into the Tumen Inn, and Hong Kite also calmed down at this time, and ordered the sand thieves who were ambushed on the wall, "You guys come down first, help these shops clean up, calculate their losses, and then report to me together." ”
--
The proprietress took the president and his party and Hong Kite to the attic on the third floor of the Tumen Inn, which is also the place where the proprietress usually holds meetings for the guys, quiet and spacious. Because the Tumen Inn was often attacked by sandstorms, there was no skylight on the attic on the top floor, so the proprietress first held the candle and climbed the wooden ladder, and then stood on the top to illuminate the people who came up.
After everyone came up, the proprietress lit a few oil lamps for lighting in the attic, and the attic was lit up, and everyone saw clearly that there was a long table and several bamboo chairs in the center of this spacious attic, and the proprietress beckoned them to sit down at the long table after lighting the lamp, and she walked to the entrance of the attic, took the drinks and snacks brought by the man, and ordered not to let anyone come near here.
As soon as the five sand thieves who came with the president and his party took their seats, they couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, tell us quickly, what is going on, how did you lose your token?"
Hong Kite took a deep breath and began to talk about all her experiences in the past half a month.
As the sand thieves said, Hong Kite came to the Tumen Inn half a month ago, and at first, she just brought a dozen brothers with good wine to talk to the proprietress about interesting things in the desert as usual, and by the way, asked if there was a caravan that needed to be escorted.
But on the night of the fourth day, Hong Kite was just about to go to bed, suddenly shot an arrow tied with a note from the window, Hong Kite's first reaction was to open the window and chase out, but when he jumped to the eaves outside the window and looked around, he found that there was no one around, Hong Kite jumped on the eaves of the top floor of the Tumen Inn, and looked farther away for a week, but still did not find any figure, although he was unwilling, but Hong Kite could only go back to his house and open the note on the arrow.
