Chapter 164: Capture the Thief
(All kinds of requests!)
The turbulent water completely submerged Zhuang Zhou, and his ears, mouth, and eyes were full of cold and turbid lake water. Moreover, the current of the water quickly closed, and the water potential was extremely strong, rushing Zhuang Zhou back to the front of the stone gate!
Fortunately, Zhuang Zhou's water nature is excellent, and after a moment of panic, he immediately stabilized his mind. Thinking about it, you must not open the stone door to hide at this moment, because Yin Ji and Zhou Long are still in the stone room, in a coma, once the water rushes in, the consequences are unimaginable!
Zhuang Zhou kicked hard, slid his hands, and swam out along the road again. After swimming for a long time, I saw a faint light above my head, and knew that I was close to the water, so I changed my body to swim upright, with my head held high, much faster.
Finally, the top of his head came out of the water, and the early morning sun sprinkled on Zhuang Zhou's body.
However, before he could come back to his senses, he heard a person break off: "Shoot!" Then from the shore of the lake, there were suddenly several swishing sounds, something broke through the air, and Zhuang Zhou's eyes saw a dozen black shadows the thickness of his fingers in front of him.
Someone shoots an arrow at himself on the shore!
Zhuang Zhou didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly sank his body into the water and swam deep with all his might, trying to avoid the sharp arrows that came at him. I heard dozens of popping sounds above the water, and those feathered arrows had fallen into the water, still maintaining a very fast speed, passing past Zhuang Zhou and shooting straight to the bottom of the lake.
Suddenly, Zhuang Zhou felt a sharp pain, and a sharp arrow hit his left arm with a pop, and bright red blood immediately gushed out, staining a large lake around him.
Li Qiaosheng, who was standing on the shore, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw a piece of blood suddenly rising from the place where Zhuang Zhou was sinking. However, he knew that Zhuang Zhou was a fierce tiger on the mountain of Yunmeng Mountain, although he had already shot him, he didn't dare to be careless, and still ordered the dozen or so archers around him to bend their bows and arrows, and wait for the battle!
At this moment, Li Qiaosheng was like having a thrilling nightmare! Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhou not only miraculously escaped from danger when he fell off the 10,000-foot cliff, but also sneaked into his home without knowing it, and it was very likely that he had already killed the cold ghost! How could this not make him frightened! You know. The cold ghost was a god-like existence in his heart, but now Zhuang Zhou was sent to death in a moment, and he suddenly felt that a mountain had collapsed, and his heart was extremely frightened and extremely angry.
Just now he went to see the cold ghost, and according to the old practice, he opened the sound device on the stone door to reveal his identity. In the past, when I asked to see the cold ghost, the cold ghost never replied, but only controlled the stone door indoors to let him in, but today he not only replied inexplicably. He also told himself to open the stone door and go in. This anomaly immediately alarmed him. And I felt that something was very bad. Therefore, he immediately left the road, gathered dozens of family members, and surrounded the lake. Once that person comes out, it doesn't matter if 3721 shoots him all over like a sieve first!
Li Qiaosheng thought very exquisitely. He didn't immediately activate the mechanism and flooded the stone chamber with water, because he knew that there was also a control mechanism inside the chamber. It would be useless for that person to activate the mechanism outside without leaving the stone chamber. Therefore, he led people to pay attention to when that person appeared in the corridor, as soon as he found that there was a figure in the corridor, he immediately activated the mechanism, and at that time, it was too late for that person to return to the stone room!
When the people in the stone room ran out of the corridor, Li Qiaosheng found that it was Zhuang Zhou. The horror in his heart can be imagined! However, the matter has come to this point, and he can only do one thing and kill Zhuang Zhou on the spot!
After seeing a stream of blood gushing out of the lake, Lao didn't move for a long time. Li Qiaosheng's tense heart finally relaxed a little, and he prayed in his heart that Zhuang Zhou had already died in the water. While thinking about whether to turn on the mechanism at this moment and let the water recede, so as to check Zhuang Zhou's life and death, he repeatedly told the archers to be prepared.
The level is like a mirror, and only the ball of blood in the center of the lake slowly dissolves.
Li Qiaosheng couldn't hold back any longer, and walked to the lake to look into the water. There was a curvy bluestone path by the lake, but there was no guardrail. He had just reached the edge of the lake when he suddenly heard the sound of water surging under his feet, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong and quickly retreated!
However, it was too late!
I saw a pair of hands suddenly stretched out in the water and grabbed Li Qiaosheng's feet. Li Qiaosheng stood unsteadily, with an oops, and fell on his back!
The archers all around were engrossed in looking at the middle of the lake, no one expected such a sudden change by the lake, hearing Li Qiaosheng exclaim, some people rushed over, and some hurriedly raised their bows and were about to shoot arrows.
However, it was too late. The person in the lake was extremely fast, and after grabbing Li Qiaosheng's legs, his body quickly burst out of the water, almost carrying Li Qiaosheng upside down and rushing ashore.
The crowd was stunned. Neither the people who came up or were about to shoot arrows dared to make any moves, because at this moment, that person firmly controlled Li Qiaosheng and blocked him in front of him. And the man's left arm is still bright red at the moment!
Li Qiaosheng has become a hostage!
Zhuang Zhou looked coldly at the Li Zhaiding who was at a loss for what to do around him, and said: "Li Qiaosheng conspired to betray the master, and I have captured him here, you still don't put down your bow and arrows, abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"
Everyone saw that Li Qiaosheng was held by Zhuang Zhou, unable to move, and remembered that Zhuang Zhou's figure appeared in an instant between the lightning and flint just now, like a ghost, and he had not yet recovered from the shock, and was stunned on the spot for a while, and no one spoke.
Li Qiaosheng was detained, until this moment is on the line of life and death. How could his throat be pinched by Zhuang Zhou's right hand, his breathing was not smooth, and he didn't dare to struggle, knowing that he was a mortal, as long as Zhuang Zhou exerted a little effort, he would inevitably die on the spot. He rolled his eyes, and glanced at Li Ding, the chief steward in the crowd, although he couldn't speak, his eyes were urgent.
When Li Ding, the head manager, saw that the village chief was arrested, his mind also turned sharply, and when he suddenly saw Li Qiaosheng's eyes, he didn't understand the meaning for a while: Should you not act rashly, or should you rush up? After thinking about it, it seems that neither way is good. The current situation, don't look at the strength of your own people, but in fact, the odds of winning are not much, the master is naturally more auspicious, and most of his own little life is about the same......
Thinking of this, Li Ding's face turned pale, regardless of Li Qiaosheng's eyes, he quietly retreated, hid in the crowd, and was about to slip away!
Zhuang Zhou had already seen Li Ding's every move, because he knew that outside of Li Qiaosheng, it was Li Ding who was the leader. Therefore, as soon as Li Ding took a step back, Zhuang Zhou hooked his left foot and kicked up a stone at his feet, and then with a force, the stone shot out with a whizz and went straight to Li Ding!
Before everyone could see what was flying, they heard Li Ding scream and fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his right temple.
Zhuang Zhou actually pierced Li Ding's temple with an ordinary stone in an instant! This astonishing scene completely crushed everyone's fighting spirit, and no one dared to have the slightest reckless heart.
Zhuang Zhou said: "I am the dream hunting patriarch, do you want to follow Li Qiaosheng to help the sect to the end? Conspire and rebel, you are not afraid of the punishment of the clan rules? Li Ding is the fate of all rebels! I know that you are all coerced by Li Qiaosheng, and you have no intention of rebellion, as long as you put down your weapons as soon as possible and know that you have lost your way, the patriarch will not be guilty of the past!"
In fact, most of the people in the crowd did not know Zhuang Zhou, the patriarch was a god-like existence in their hearts, and many people had never seen the patriarch in their lives. was transferred by Li Qiaosheng this time, and he didn't know who he was going to kill, but he was just used to following orders. At this moment, when they heard that this person in front of them claimed to be the patriarch, they couldn't help but tremble, and they all thought that they were actually involved in a rebellion incident, how could the lives of this family be good? Some of them were already pale, and their legs were trembling......
Li Qiaosheng saw that the general trend had gone, and he was desperate in his heart, but the instinct to survive made him make a last fight, endured the sharp pain in his throat, and shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is not the patriarch......" Zhuang Zhou saw him screaming, his right hand tightened again, Li Qiaosheng immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
When everyone was suspicious, one of the people in the crowd happened to see Zhuang Zhou once last time, and he still had a vague impression. He threw away his bow and arrows at the moment and said, "He is indeed the Zhuang patriarch, and we have all been deceived by the village chief......
When the others heard this, they finally couldn't hold on, and only heard the sound of crackling bows and arrows falling to the ground, and everyone knelt down together and shouted, "Patriarch......"
Zhuang Zhou's tense heart relaxed, and he said in his heart: It's so dangerous! If these people really rush forward regardless of life and death, and their left arm is injured, they really don't have 100 percent confidence! He threw Li Qiaosheng, who had already fainted to death, aside, and said to the people who knelt down: "Okay, the traitors have been eliminated, you are all deceived, and the patriarch will never be held accountable, you can rest assured!"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and shouted in unison: "Patriarch Xie's grace not to kill!"
Zhuang Zhou called the Zhuang Ding who recognized him first and asked, "What's your name?" The Zhuang Ding bowed down and said, "Villain Li Cai!" Zhuang Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, now you will take five people to arrest all the children of Li Qiaosheng's family!"
Li Cai said, "Yes!" turned around and ordered five people, left the lake, and walked out of the garden.
Zhuang Zhou said again: "Do any of you know where Li Geng and the others are being held?" A big man stood up and said: "The villain Li Li knows and is willing to take someone to rescue Li Geng's eldest brother ......" Zhuang Zhou nodded and ordered him to bring five people to go.
There were only six people left in front of him, Zhuang Zhou was worried about Yin Ji and Zhou Long who were still in the secret room underwater, and while asking two people to tie up Li Qiaosheng, he ran to the pavilion, touched the mechanism, and waited for the lake to disperse, revealing the road, and then took the other four people straight to the secret room!
When he arrived at the door of the secret room, Zhuang turned the mechanism, the stone door slowly opened, and Zhuang Zhou rushed in with an arrow.
I saw two black shadows in the stone room suddenly burst out, one left and one right, and rushed towards Zhuang Zhou with a strong wind!
Zhuang Zhou was taken aback, and in the darkness, he saw that the two people who flew up were Yin Ji and Zhou Long, and hurriedly shouted: "It's me, Zhuang Zhou!"
When Yin Ji and Zhou Long heard this, they were stunned in mid-air, and their momentum immediately decreased, and they fell to the ground.
Zhuang Zhou was also very excited in his heart, hugging the two senior brothers, with mixed feelings.
