Chapter 336: Falling into a Trap
After two days of reconnaissance, it was learned that the Japanese on Fairy Island had strengthened their vigilance, and it was difficult for the Flying Tigers' boats to approach. But the woods have burned to the ground, and timber is scarce on the island, making it difficult to build a fleet. In addition, winter is approaching and the climate is getting colder, and the Japanese on the island need to find a way to build a house to withstand the cold. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will harass fishermen again in the near future. Luo Ming then ordered to pack up his things and prepare to withdraw the army.
It was originally planned to pull out the battalion two days later, but he didn't expect to receive urgent military information one after another the next day: after Lin Yi of the Sunset Forest learned that the Qinglong Flying Tigers had left Wulang Mountain, the main force of the "Wind Warrior Army" of the police station department attacked the Taihe Iron Mine located in the "Empty Land". Now it is fighting with the Qilin Tiger Army of Quanzhonghan, and the battle is very fierce.
Taihe iron ore has always been a resource that Luo Ming particularly valued, and when he heard that it was attacked, he was naturally anxious. While ordering Jiang Tengjiao to quickly gather a team and rush back for reinforcements, he asked Xiao Yu to fly back with him to inspect the situation first.
Duoguo Fishing Village is only a few dozen miles away from the empty land. The two of them rode horses, and in order not to be noticed, they specially rubbed the treetops and walked cautiously. When they crossed a small mountain bag only ten miles away from the empty land, they suddenly discovered that hundreds of people with hard crossbows were hidden in the woods behind the mountain bag. These people seem to have been waiting here for a long time, ready for an ambush. As soon as Luo Ming and the others showed up, they were hit by a storm of arrows.
The dense rain of arrows hitting their armor made Luo Ming tremble a little, which seemed to him to be like something he had never seen before.
Hundreds of hard crossbows were very lively, although it was difficult to hurt Qin Tianzhu and the others, it would still hurt to hit them. And they deeply felt that the energy contained in these crossbow arrows was very large, and it was almost close to the powerful impact and penetration of the "Legend of the Grim Reaper".
Xiao Yu, who was suddenly hit with a fierce blow, immediately turned around in order to quickly avoid the ambush array below. But those people seemed to have already calculated, and wherever Xiao Yu went, many people would suddenly stand up from hidden places below and shoot at them with powerful crossbow arrows.
Luo Ming immediately understood: someone had planned a very well-planned trap, waiting for them to fall into the net. It seems that you can't hide, so it's better to go down and fight to break the net. Thinking of this, he roared angrily and jumped off the horse's back.
Luo Ming leapt down and pounced on the nearest crossbowman. With a click, the man's neck was twisted, and Luo Ming pounced on the next target, so fast that many people couldn't see him clearly.
Xiao Yu wanted to release the bone soul, but because the arrows below were too dense, she was bruised and purple and painful, so she had to temporarily walk up the tree to a place where the feather arrows could not shoot. When she finally flew to a high place where the arrow couldn't shoot, and released her bone soul in severe pain, she found that she couldn't lift her strength, and her mind was dizzy and lacking fighting spirit, and then her whole body fell uncontrollably. She thought to herself, what's the matter?
Soon she saw a large group of people surrounding Luo Ming with long weapons, and he also looked physically exhausted and staggering. Then he saw someone below spread a large net ready to pick her up, and some of them shouted, "Come, come, catch, catch!"
Xiao Yu fell into a large net in a drowsy state, and was immediately surrounded by many people who tied her up with all hands and feet. She tried to open her heavy eyelids, and saw that the people not far away were in chaos, and they were also tying up Luo Ming. Someone shouted: "Tie it up, tie it up, check it carefully after helping, these two little guys are very slippery, you must be careful and careful." Otherwise, it will be a big problem. ”
Another shouted, "Wouldn't it be better to kill with a knife? The former person reprimanded in a stern tone: "You know what a fart! The young master said that you dare to kill those who want to be arrested? We are not going to declare war with the imperial court, and it is much more valuable to seize them as a bargaining weight than to kill them." ”
It must be that their arrows are poisonous! Xiao Yu and Luo Ming thought at the same time: You don't need to puncture the skin, as long as the medicine can get on the skin, it can work. It seems to be only narcotic drugs......
Before the men could tie them up, the two of them had already fainted, and they didn't know what to do.
When Luo Ming woke up, he found that he was locked up in an underground stone chamber alone. He looked around and found that it was not the same place where he had been detained in Xingyang Village last time. I guess it's a very secret place in the forest, and I don't know who else will come to rescue me this time.
He lay on a bed of broken wood, his hands handcuffed and shackled by fine iron, each link of which was bent into shape by bars the thickness of an adult's finger. Looking at the iron gate outside, it is also composed of iron bars the thickness of an adult's finger. He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to himself: "I thought I was using something to lock up the master!
He was not in a hurry to get up, but slowly did the work of spitting and checking the condition of his body. Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the door at the far end of the corridor opened, and the footsteps and voices of many people poured in. A group of people then came to Luo Ming's iron gate, and someone "clattered" to open the iron lock. Then, surrounded by a group of people, Lin Yi walked into the stone room.
The moon is gone, this Lin Yi seems to have grown a lot taller and matured a lot, and he gradually has the spirit of a man. At the moment, he was grinning, and his face was quite colorful.
"Haha, our proud prince of Black Cloud City, the brave and invincible young captain, and the king of war for a while, why didn't you expect to have today?" Lin Yi's face showed a sarcastic smile.
Luo Ming sighed and said, "Why are you so bothered? We are people in one place, why can't we sit down and talk slowly?"
"Sit down and talk slowly?" Lin Yi asked sharply, "I think, are you willing? Your wife and the iron mine will not even share me at all, how can we sit down and talk? When you killed me three thousand tempest warriors, were you also thinking that you could sit down and talk to me?"
This man doesn't even make any sense. Luo Ming shook his head slightly and decided to change the subject. "Why did you arrest me?"
Lin Yi pursed his lips and said, "I made a condition with the King of Wu, that is, your city lord: as long as he is willing to hand over the Taihe Iron Mine and 10,000 Flying Tiger soldiers to me, I will return his precious son to him." Of course, there is another precondition: this prince must not have any further entanglement with us on this issue within a year, otherwise, our Eastern Alliance will declare war with the imperial court. ”
"Why is it only a one-year period?" Luo Ming asked.
