Chapter 90: Into the Tiger's Den
The humidity in the forest is very heavy, especially in the transition between night and early morning, the biting cold is enough to wake people up, and Li Rong woke up in this cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You're awake. ”
A voice came from Li Rong's ear, not a question, just a simple description.
Li Rong was startled, opened his eyes and looked up, only to see that the wild boar family blocked at the entrance of the cave had disappeared without a trace, and not far ahead, a familiar and unfamiliar figure had his back to him, sharpening a thin stick with a dagger in his hand.
"Cold Eagle. Li Rong revealed the identity of the other party at a glance.
Leng Ying turned around and smiled: "If it were someone else, do you think you would wake up alive?"
Li Rong's heart lifted suddenly. Leng Ying's words are not wrong, if he is found to be a horse thief, his body should be cold at this time.
It seems that the consumption of my mental power by using the Yin and Yang Eyes is too great, and I fell asleep defenselessly last night, so I will use it with caution in the future.
After cleaning up his mood a little, Li Rong crawled out of the wild boar's nest.
It is said to be a wild boar's nest, but in fact it is just a grass nest with a bunch of branches and leaves entwined.
"When did you come?" Li Rong glanced at the bark and sawdust that had been cut out of the ground, and then at the wild boar family that had been washed and dissected, and immediately knew what Leng Ying was going to do.
"It doesn't matter, do you bring a fire fold? If I don't, I can only use the most primitive method to make a fire, and it will take a long time. Leng Ying said.
Li Rong took out a fire fold from his bosom and threw it to him, sat back on the ground, pulled out the short sword he bought in the Treasure Pavilion from behind his waist, grabbed a branch and sharpened it.
Leng Ying took the fire fold, piled the collected hay and wood chips into a pile, lit it with the fire fold, and then gradually added dry firewood to make the fire.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Li Rong asked casually.
Leng Ying's hand delivering dry firewood paused, his bones exerted force, his brows tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Revenge." ”
"Revenge?"
"Well, revenge, I have a younger brother...... Leng Ying said.
Li Rong suddenly, he had heard Leng Ying say what happened back then, when Leng Ying rushed home, his parents were tied up by horse thieves, and finally it was the three leaders who wanted to subdue Leng Ying, so he let the two old men go, and now Leng Ying said that he also has a younger brother, so after a little thought, you can guess that most of his younger brother was killed by horse thieves.
"Lie down and taste the guts. Li Rong laughed.
Leng Ying did not refute.
"We're here for ten ...... this time Nine people, do you know where the rest are?" Li Rong suddenly asked.
Leng Ying nodded: "The people with you have been wandering around before, they are very good, they have killed a lot of horse thieves, there are four left, two have been arrested, and the other two are facing roundup, and it is estimated that they will not last long." ”
Li Rong's expression froze, he didn't expect the development of the situation to be unexpected, he thought that even if the others couldn't kill the enemy, they could protect themselves, as long as their side could gather them, they should be able to attack those horse thieves who had lost their command.
But now things have changed, and two people have been caught by horse thieves. Although it is a competitor relationship, it is not possible to let him ignore their life and death, and when the time comes, if the time comes, as long as the horse thief threatens the life and death of those two, his side will definitely throw a rat bogey.
Leng Ying glanced at Li Rong, immediately understood his thoughts, and said, "Do you want to save people?" That's the nest of horse thieves, going in to save people is no different from looking for death. ”
Li Rong glanced back at Leng Ying, saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly asked, "Has your identity been exposed?"
Leng Ying's cheeks twitched, and then he sighed and said, "You and I are really the same kind of people, I am defeated in your hands, and I am not wronged." ”
Then Leng Ying stood up, threw the bag of things under his buttocks to Li Rong, and said, "This is the clothes worn by the horse thieves under the command of the three leaders, you put it on, and when you have breakfast, I will take you in." ”
"You help me get in, and I'll help you get revenge. Li Rong nodded, and did not shy away from it, tore the package on the spot, and put the clothes inside on his body.
Both of them are smart people, Leng Ying must use external forces if he wants to take revenge, while Li Rong needs an identity to cover to rescue the trapped two people, so the two hit it off and don't need more temptation.
As the fire grew, the two of them skewered the wild boar family on a branch and roasted it on the fire.
Because it was early in the morning and the fog was heavy, the green smoke would not attract the attention of the horse thieves, and the aroma of roasted meat would not drift too far.
Not long after, the two of them roasted the meat, and they both bit and swallowed it in large gulps, eating like tigers and wolves.
Seeing this, the two were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
After breakfast, the fire in the forest was extinguished, and the two dressed up and went to the horse thief's lair.
Because he had to pretend to be an ordinary horse thief, Li Rong's gentian gun and cloud-piercing bow could not be brought, and he could only hide the short sword on his waist.
This kind of behavior is very risky, because if Leng Ying is here to cheat him, then as long as he enters the stockade, I am afraid that he will not even have the slightest strength to fight back.
The two went straight all the way, and encountered several waves of patrolling horse thieves on the way, when there were many people on the other side, Leng Ying came forward to branch out, and when there were few people, Li Rong could only use his hands and feet to increase the score a little.
There was no danger to the horse thief's lair, which was a tall cottage, and the stockade was very large, and the walls were woven with sharpened logs around it, and it looked very strong.
Facing this simple fortress-like cottage, Li Rong had relatives in his heart, if it weren't for Lord Long and Lord Liu to take the lead, the ten of them might not even be able to enter the gate of the village, let alone suppress the bandits.
"Stay, who's coming?"
As soon as Li Rong and the others approached the stockade, a horse thief shouted above them.
Li Rong was about to see how Leng Ying would reply, but saw that Leng Ying didn't open his mouth at all, so he directly opened his bow and shot the horse thief who was on guard with an arrow.
Fortunately, it only hit the thigh and didn't hurt the bones.
Li Rong was secretly frightened, and couldn't understand what Leng Ying's move meant, did he want to expose his identity?
Leng Ying glanced back at Li Rong without a trace, and met his shocked eyes.
Leng Ying smiled, walked up to the horse thief, stepped on his face, took a featherless arrow and plunged it into the other party's throat, and said in a vicious voice: "You were yelling at me just now?"
The horse thief was shot in the thigh, and he had an arrow in his mouth, and he didn't dare to open his mouth at all.
"Eagle ...... Eagle Lord, the little one is blind, I didn't recognize it was you for a while, you don't care about the villain, let the little one go. The thief whimpered and cried.
Li Rong didn't feel funny when he saw it, this Leng Ying's hatred for the horse thief was real, looking at the horse thief's reaction, this guy must have tossed them a lot in ordinary times. With the importance of the three leaders to Leng Ying, the big and small leaders in the cottage must not stand up for these ordinary horse thieves, plus Leng Ying's strength is superb, no one wants to offend, so in this stockade, if anyone is cleaned up by Leng Ying, he deserves it.
