Chapter 123: The Siege of the Inn
readx;? By the bright moonlight and the dim candle flame in the inn, seven or eight black-clothed people armed with steel knives walked out of the guest rooms on the first floor in an orderly manner, and tiptoed towards the second floor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was silence in the inn, although there were not a few guests staying at this inn tonight, but most of them had experienced a day of busyness and rushing, and the time had passed, and these people were afraid that they had already fallen asleep. At this moment, even the innkeeper fell asleep on the counter, and his saliva flowed all over the table, even wetting the corner of the ledger.
"Chaoye...... Master Chao, I'm here......"
Suddenly, an extremely slight shout came leisurely from a corner of the inn, and then I saw a person dressed as a shopkeeper trotting over, with a thick smile on his face, and he could only see his face clearly when he walked under the moonlight, he was the guy who had repeatedly sent food and wine to Mu Dan and Lu Yifan today.
And the Chao Ye in this guy's mouth is this scar-faced man, this person's name is Chaohai, he is a well-known bully in the West Imperial City, and the "Chaoyan Gang" under his command has always been notorious for monopolizing the north-south salt road. And it is even rumored that this Chaoyan Gang has a good relationship with the closed Lou Sect thousands of miles away, and Chaohai has some distant relatives with Lou Yi, the suzerain of Lou Zong, and the gold and silver funding of the chariots and horses at the time of the rise of the Chaoyan Gang is almost all from the gifts of the Lou Zong, so although the Chaoyan Gang itself is not large in number and has little power, its background is not to be underestimated by the Western Emperor City Lord. The Chaoyan Gang and Lou Zong are one in the south and the other in the north, plus the ruffians and hooligans in the small cities in the middle, many forces echo each other, and almost control the entire Seven Thousand Miles Southwest Desert, and the Closed City Lou Zong is undoubtedly the real master of the Seven Thousand Miles Southwest Desert. Therefore, for this Chaoyan Gang, the Xihuang City Lord did not dare to offend, and Chaohai was very good at being a man, he would pay a huge amount of "tribute silver" to the Xihuang City Lord every year, in order to win people's hearts, over time, the officials and bandits here colluded, and acted lawlessly, so that the traders who came and went, especially the salt merchants, were not miserable.
Chaohai had received a letter early informing him of the pursuit of Lu Yifan, and this notice in the Western Imperial City was also posted by the Chaoyan Gang. In order to invite credit to Lou Zong, Chaohai can be said to have worked hard, almost every day in the West Imperial City to arrange eyeliner to be strictly monitored, just to wait for Lu Yifan's appearance, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let him wait for Lu Yifan tonight. 10,000 silver shells, for this small tide salt gang, almost the top of the first half of the year, how can the tide not be moved?
Chaohai found out that Lu Yifan and Mu Dan had entered this inn in the evening, and he was familiar with everything, so he naturally took care of everything in secret, in order to avoid startling the snake, Chaohai secretly bought this guy and let him drug Lu Yifan and Mu Dan's meal, Chaohai had long known that Lu Yifan's cultivation was good, and it was not his little Chaoyan Gang who could fight hard to win, so he could only secretly deceive and use poison to stun Lu Yifan and Mu Dan , it will not hurt people's lives, but it will make people drowsy, and the soul power in the body is strongly suppressed and difficult to indulge.
This medicine is very peculiar, divided into the main medicine and the auxiliary medicine, which is not placed in a single meal or wine, but placed in the meal and wine respectively, only when the main drug and the auxiliary medicine are taken together, its medicinal properties will be brought into play, and a single take is non-toxic and harmless, and will not be noticeable at all. This is also the reason why Mu Dan did not detect any abnormalities from the wine.
"How's it going?" Chaohai quickly greeted the guy and asked in a low voice, "Is the amount of medicine enough?"
"Don't worry, Chao Ye, I have put all the squeezing and hemp powder you gave me, even a tiger will definitely be overturned now!" The shopkeeper greeted in a low voice, "They must be sleeping like dead pigs now, Chao Ye, you just go up and tie people up!"
"Good job!" Chao Hai sneered and praised, and after speaking, he wanted to raise his feet and walk towards the stairs, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper, who caused Chaohai to frown.
"That...... Master Chao, you promised to give a small amount of hard work, you look at it, ......" The shopkeeper said that he would not say anything more here, because he knew that Chaohai had already understood what he meant.
"Oh! this thing is well done, this is a reward for you!" Chaohai smiled slightly, and then casually took out a few silver shells from his arms and threw them to the shopkeeper, "After the matter is done, the uncle will have a reward!"
"Thank you Chaoye, thank you Chaoye!" The shopkeeper hurriedly put away the silver shell, and then retreated to the side with great knowledge, "I will guard the door of the inn for Chaoye, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!"
"Then you can keep it!" Chaohai agreed casually, and then with a wave of his hand, he led several of his brothers up the stairs.
"Squeak ......"
Since this is a small inn, the annual profit is not much, and the tables, chairs and benches in the inn are old, and even the wooden staircase has become loose due to disrepair, and as long as someone steps on the stairs, these rotten wooden planks will make a screeching sound.
These sounds are not conspicuous in the bustling inn on weekdays, but at this moment, in the middle of the night, the sound is extremely crisp and loud, especially when seven or eight big men walk on the stairs together, the sound is even clearer and more chaotic.
On the second floor, Mu Dan's guest room.
Mu Dan, who was originally asleep, was lying on the bed, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and at this moment she saw that her fair and delicate forehead was covered with sweat, and her eyebrows frowned as if she was showing a touch of extreme pain, and the fragrant sweat slowly flowed down her white neck, penetrating her clothes.
Mu Dan's mouth seemed to be whispering something in a trance, her head shook slightly at first, and then the shaking amplitude became larger and larger, she seemed to be trying to wake herself up from her sleep.
"......Huh" Suddenly, with a rapid gasping sound, Mu Dan suddenly opened her blurred eyes, she frowned and wanted to sit up, but before she could support her body with her arms, she only felt that her arms were weak and fell back to the bed again.
"What's going on...... Mu Dan's whole body was sweating and hot, but her hands and feet were extremely cold, and she suddenly discovered the abnormality of her body, "What's wrong with me......"
The people of the spirit race are born with an extremely keen perception and perception of all things in the world, so although the medicinal properties are strong, they have not been able to completely stun this Mu Dan from the spirit realm.
Mu Dan shook her body with difficulty, and then rolled off the bed with a crooked figure, her body was soft as if she had been broken, and she couldn't withstand a little force, so Mu Dan climbed from the side of the bed to the side of the book basket with difficulty, reaching out to quickly flip through something in the book basket, and her eyes became more and more urgent, because she had realized that the whole thing was wrong.
"Lu Yifan......" Mu Dan shouted in a low voice while rummaging through the book basket, "Lu Yifan must have been poisoned by the same ...... as me."
"Boom ......"
With a muffled sound, I saw a white jade bottle roll out of the book basket, and Mu Dan was happy at first, and then hurriedly opened the jade bottle, and several black pills the size of fingernails slipped out of it, and then no matter how many breaths, the pill was sent into the mouth, and after chewing a few times, the pill turned into a warm current and instantly flowed into the abdomen, and Mu Dan was also in the moment when the pill entered the abdomen, and the whole person's spirit became slightly sober.
Before she had time to breathe, Mu Dan suddenly heard a "squeak" sound from the stairs outside the door, Mu Dan was born smart, this kind of voice at this hour, coupled with her own situation, made her instantly understand the pros and cons, and she didn't care about the heaviness of her body at the moment, grabbed the jade bottle with one hand and stumbled towards the door, Mu Dan knew that her top priority was to wake up Lu Yifan.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound of opening the door suddenly sounded from the second floor, this sudden sound made the Chaohai people who were still walking up cautiously and slowly stunned, and for a moment they involuntarily stopped, and looked at Mu Dan who was stumbling out of the room on the second floor in surprise.
After Mu Dan went out, she didn't care about the tide on the stairs, but ran to the door of the room on the side by herself, and broke into Lu Yifan's room with a push, and at the same time, she shouted loudly: "Lu Yifan, hurry up, there is an ambush ......"
"It's not good! It's been discovered, brothers, give it to me!" Chaohai on the stairs suddenly woke up after hearing Mu Dan's voice, and then didn't bother to think about why Mu Dan was awake, so he hurriedly greeted him, and then rushed upstairs quickly with a steel knife, and several big men behind him also greeted and followed violently.
In the room, Mu Dan suddenly threw himself on Lu Yifan's bedside, Lu Yifan at this moment looked the same as Mu Dan just now, he was also sweating profusely, and his brows were furrowed, but he didn't have Mu Dan's ability, and he couldn't wake himself up from his coma.
"Lu Yifan, wake up...... Wake up......"
Mu Dan listened to the approaching footsteps, and the jade bottle in his hand was sent to Lu Yifan's mouth in one go, but Lu Yifan was in a coma at the moment, no matter how hard Mu Dan shook his head, those pills still slipped down from the corners of Lu Yifan's mouth, and it was impossible for Lu Yifan to take it smoothly.
"Lu Yifan! Lu Yifan!" Mu Dan desperately shook Lu Yifan's body, trying to wake him up, but unfortunately, no matter how Lu Yifan's divine sense struggled, his eyes were still difficult to open for half a minute.
"Damn, it's the room inside, both of them are inside, I'll catch them all, I can't let one go!" came the shouts of Chaohai outside the door, and at the same time the echoes of several big men.
Mu Dan's eyes were red in a hurry, and he fell to the side of Lu Yifan's bed at a loss, a pair of pink fists clenched to death, and his brain was spinning quickly about the way to escape.
Finally, at the moment when Chaohai and the others appeared in front of the door, Mu Dan's eyes suddenly gathered, and there was a touch of resoluteness in her expression, and then she ignored Chaohai and a few people rushing in, and quickly poured the pill in the jade bottle into her mouth, and then suddenly got up and pounced forward, and her ruddy lips suddenly pressed tightly against Lu Yifan's closed lips, and then the tip of her tongue was slightly topped, and she forcibly pried open Lu Yifan's lips and teeth, and sent the chewed pill into Lu Yifan's mouth one by one......
At the same time, Chaohai also rushed behind Mu Dan with a steel knife.
"Since I can't stun you, let's die!" Chaohai roared in frenzy, and then raised the extremely sharp steel knife with both hands, and slashed Huashan with one move, roaring down fiercely, mixed with a sound of breaking the air, and the blade cut straight at the back of Mu Dan's neck.
"Poof!"
The speed of Chaohai is indeed not slow, but Mu Dan's reaction is faster, just when the blade fell, Mu Dan's body suddenly turned to the left, and the whole person rolled out, which was able to avoid Chaohai's blade, and then Mu Dan gritted his teeth and desperately pushed his hands towards Chaohai's lower abdomen, Chaohai's body tilted, only to hear a crisp sound of "sonorous", and the blade slashed deeply into the wooden pillow next to Lu Yifan's head, and at this moment, the extremely cold blade was only less than three inches from Lu Yifan's ears, which can be described as extremely dangerous.
"His grandmother's, this little girl is not small!Brothers, this woman is also at the end of the crossbow now, my grandfather will reward you, I will kill Lu Yifan's kid!" Chaohai sneered and roared, then pulled out the steel knife, leaned forward, and stabbed the tip of the knife down at Lu Yifan's heart.
"Don't think!"
At this moment, I saw Mu Dan pounce suddenly, and stubbornly drilled out of the legs of the few big men who were besieging him, and at the same time, a faint blue light was emitted from his right hand, but this blue light flickered and flickered and appeared extremely unstable, presumably this was caused by the medicinal effect of squeezing Ma San.
"Triple Gathering Spirit Palm!"
I only heard Mu Dan scream violently, and then slapped a heavy palm on Chaohai's back. And the most surprising thing is that when Mu Dan's jade palm slapped on Chaohai's back, the blue light that followed it suddenly flourished, and suddenly turned into two blue palms, one after the other, followed by Mu Dan's jade palm one after another hit the same place behind Chaohai.
"Poof!"
With a palm hit, Chaohai only felt that the back of his heart sank suddenly, and then a sweet mouthful of red blood spurted out of his throat, and the steel knife in his hand had to be inserted into the inside of the bed because of the sudden force, and the blade once again staggered Lu Yifan's body.
And Mu Dan's situation at the moment has become worse and worse, and she still uses her soul power under the forced suppression of the medicine, which makes her already awake consciousness instantly fall into chaos again, and even the scene in her eyes has become a little ghostly.
"His grandmother's, give me a ride together, I captured this woman alive, I want to teach her a good lesson!" Chaohai was furious, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his big hand, and turned his hand and slapped Mu Dan's shoulder, Mu Dan's body, who was already confused, was forced, and he fell to the ground when he stumbled under his feet.
"Yes!" As he spoke, several big men shook their sword shadows, and they clamped on Mu Dan's neck in three or two strokes, restraining her.
"I don't know whether the girl is alive or dead, she dares to be so rampant when she dies, brothers, strip me of her clothes now, and I want to carve a few words on her body, so that she can remember it for the rest of her life!" Chao Hai shook the steel knife in his hand with a cruel smile, his eyes full of cruelty.
"Okay......" As soon as several big men heard this, they were immediately happy, and they couldn't wait to throw away the steel knives in their hands one by one, and tore Mu Dan's skirt robe with all their hands and feet, and Mu Dan was under the bullying of several people, struggling and crying loudly and weakly.
"Hiss!
The sound of tearing skirts, mixed with the wanton laughter of several big men and Mu Dan's cries, echoed in this small inn, and although many guests had been woken up, they were still hiding in their rooms and dared not speak.
However, at this moment, Lu Yifan, who had been in a coma on the bed and couldn't wake up for a long time, was in his sleep, the muscles of his whole body were as hard as steel, and the joints of his fists were whitening for a while, only to see cold sweat on his forehead, the muscles on his face writhed for a while, his teeth clucked, and his eyelids trembled violently.
At this moment, even Chaohai didn't notice the changes in Lu Yifan behind him, because in the hearts of Chaohai and several people, Lu Yifan had already been completely stunned by the effect of the medicine, and it was impossible to wake up in seven or eight hours.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, accompanied by Mu Dan's humiliating cry, Lu Yifan's tightly closed eyes finally opened in an instant, and the moment he opened his eyelids, two cold and piercing cold lights suddenly shot out.
"Look for death!"
