Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 77 - Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
In the vast night, I can't see my fingers; The scorching winter wind makes people feel cold in March.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, but what greeted him was a bed and a brightly lit room.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth to make a sound, but he could only make a "whine" sound in his throat.
Xiao Yan realized that his limbs were tied and cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
Just as Xiao Yan was struggling, the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Yan looked at it, and what he saw was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as himself.
The girl and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and with a "bang", the wooden basin fell from the girl's hand, and the water in the basin splashed everywhere.
Before Xiao Yan could say anything, the girl turned around and ran towards the door. Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Xiao Yan, who was gagged, could only struggle with encouragement, wanting to get rid of the shackles of his wrists.
After a while, although Xiao Yan was sweating profusely while struggling, the restraints of his limbs did not relax in the slightest.
At this moment, the girl who had been running before came to the room with five people. When the girl entered the room, she stood in the doorway and bowed her head silently.
Among the five people, except for a man dressed in purple and holding a paper fan, the other four were all carrying long knives at their waists and wearing fast-catching clothes.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Xiao Yan saw that someone else was coming, and struggled violently again, but there was no other sound in his throat.
Seeing this, the man holding the paper fan stepped forward to sit down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to take out the fabric in Xiao Yan's mouth.
"Who are you? Where is this? Why did you arrest me? ”
Xiao Yan frowned, and threw three questions at the man.
The man sneered and said, "The first two questions are not important! As for why I arrested you? That's because you have ruined the good deeds of this young master!"
"Woo ......"
Before Xiao Yan could speak again, the man pinched Xiao Yan's chin and stuffed the fabric into the girl's mouth again.
"Don't get excited, don't worry! After the young master has settled everything, he will give you a good time and let you go on the road with your lover! Look out for her!"
The man said that, he gave an order to the girl in front of the door, and led the four of them straight out of the room.
The girl also picked up the basin of water on the ground, and went out of the room after her, closing the door. And Xiao Yan could only struggle for a while, and then fell asleep again.
…………
The study room in the courtyard was brightly lit, and Lu Xun, who was sitting in the room, felt unhappy because of the four major catchers who had not returned for a long time.
"Lu Hou! Lu Hou!"
"What does the young master command?"
"What about the four pigs? Haven't you come back yet?!But there's news?!"
"Young Master Qiqi, there is any news for the time being!"
Lu Xun looked a little impatient, but Lu Hou could only tell the truth.
Lu Xun got up suddenly, and Lu Hou, who was kneeling on one knee, looked at the back of his young master, and his heart went up and down, for fear that the next moment his young master would be angry.
However, for a long time, Lu Xun did not speak out. This made Lu Hou's heart even more uneasy.
"That's it! Has the surname Nie been strange these days? ”
After a long time, Lu Xunfang spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Hou hurriedly replied: "Young Master Qiyu, the Patrol Envoy has been happy and comfortable these days, and he has already hidden his identity in the next county drunk and dreamed of death!"
"Hmph, lustful and happy, this is the advantage of wine bags and rice bags!"
After hearing this, Lu Xun sneered twice and asked again, "Who is in the prison?" ”
"Young master, rest assured, he, like Lord Nie, is drunk and dreaming all day long, unconscious!" Lu Hou naturally knew who he was referring to, and then replied.
"Hmmm! That's good! It's a critical moment, but don't make any mistakes!" Lu Xun got the answer he wanted, and his face couldn't help but warm up.
As soon as Lu Xun's words fell, he only heard a strange movement in the courtyard, and the master and servant went out to look when they heard the sound, only to see the four major catchers standing in the courtyard; After a closer look, I saw that the four of them were scarred, helping each other, and were good at flying needles, and Lu Changxian, who was nicknamed "Flying Feet Catching Fast", was even more unconscious
"I've seen the young master!"
Yang Wushuang, who was covered in scars, reluctantly bowed his hand to Lu Xun.
"What's going on? How did you get it like this? ”
Lu Xun looked at the four people in front of him who were covered in scars and embarrassed, and his angry face was mixed with questions
"The third brother is seriously injured, please ask the young master to heal first, and his subordinates will tell him all!"
When Lu Xun heard this, he had to suppress his anger first, so that Lu Hou and Lu Yan took Song Zizhi to another hospital, and asked Lang Zhong to come to treat him late at night.
After Song Zizhi's situation was settled and the injuries on the four of them were treated, Yang Wuliang and Lu Xun came to the study to tell about the day.
It turned out that the four of them joined forces and injured Li Changfeng in the forest; Just as Li Chang was in danger, two long logs suddenly flew out of the forest, forcing the four of them away.
Yang Wushuang and the others used their internal force to split the two long wooden striking. Just when the sky is full of wood wool
Two figures suddenly flashed out, and one coerced Li Changfeng away. When the four of them saw that the "prey" in their hands had been snatched away, they naturally did not give up, and they also used light skills to catch up.
The four of them chased after each other all the way, but they couldn't catch up with the two who suddenly appeared. Even Lu Changxian, who was known for his light skills among the four, was thrown a few feet away by the two. In desperation, Song Zi had no choice but to hike, and fired ten silver needles in a row, shooting at the two people in front of him.
The flying needle attached to the internal force broke through the air and went straight to the two of them. Unexpectedly, the long needle struck, and one of them stopped suddenly, mobilized his internal force, and with a "click" sound, the bald dead wood beside him was suddenly broken by his waist.
Several branches struck at the four of them. The four of them hurriedly dodged, but they were all covered with colors. Unexpectedly, I was able to hide from the first year of junior high school, but I couldn't hide from the fifteenth.
Without waiting for the four of them to react, the ten long needles that Song Zizhi threw with all his might before actually came in reverse, and they were several times faster than the speed that Song Zizhi threw before.
Lu Changxian was at the forefront, the closest to the two, and before he had time to react, he was pierced through his body by three long needles, and he was immediately seriously injured and unconscious.
The other three were lucky enough to dodge a few long needles, but they were still scratched by the internal force attached to the long needles.
When Lu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Although the four catchers have a bad reputation and are known as "the lackeys of the court" in the rivers and lakes, all four of them have their strengths, and any one of them can be ranked on the rivers and lakes.
With the joint efforts of the four of them, they can defeat Li Changfeng, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, and his swordsmanship can be described as a rare one in the rivers and lakes, and it is enough to see that the four of them are not strong people in the middle.
This time, the four of them were defeated by two people of unknown origin, and one of them was seriously injured. One can imagine how terrifying the martial arts attainments of those two people must be!
If it weren't for seeing the four of them scarred and Lu Changxian seriously injured and unconscious, Lu Xun wouldn't have believed what Yang Wushuang said.
In desperation, Lu Xun had no choice but to comfort Yang Wushuang, and then let him recuperate from his injuries, and Yang Wushuang thanked him and said goodbye.
After Yang Wushuang left, the more Lu Xun in the study thought about it, the more shocked he became, and the more shocked he became. immediately called his cronies, Lu Wu and Lu Qi, and ordered them to keep an eye on the movements of Wu Kang and his party.
As everyone knows, it was this move that Lu Xunfang fell for the scheme of Wu Kang and others!
