Chapter 183: Medium Scheme
Zhou Bonian has been crawling in the secular world for decades, and he has long been a treacherous old fox.
Therefore, although he had completely believed that Zhuang Zhou was dead, in the face of Li Zhai, who had almost no resistance, he still instinctively had a strong uneasiness and suspicion.
Because, this old fox of his, has been planted in Zhuang Zhou's hands for more than the first time! Subconsciously, he has regarded Zhuang Zhou as the most terrible enemy in this life, even more terrible than Liu Canglong, who has been fighting for decades!
Therefore, he stood at the door of Li's house and once again confirmed Zhuang Zhou's death. Although, when he first entered the village, he had already arrested a few villagers and forced him to interrogate, confirming that Zhuang Zhou was indeed dead.
If it weren't for the great temptation of that Xiaomeng jade pendant, he would never have come to the door again shortly after his injury.
On Zhou Bonian's side, there was also a tall gray-clothed man standing with a hat on his head, covering most of his face, and his face could not be seen under the firelight. He stepped forward and whispered to Zhou Bonian: "Zhuang Zhou, this person is insidious and cunning, I heard that last time he killed Leng Ghost and Li Qiaosheng by deceitful death, so please be careful as a good ......" While speaking, he couldn't help but look around, as if he was worried that Zhuang Zhou suddenly appeared.
When Zhou Bonian heard this, he suddenly sneered and said: "I think you are frightened by Zhuang Zhou! This trick of cheating death can only be used once, could it be that Zhuang Zhou is stupid enough to use the same strategy against the enemy in a short period of time? And this strategy is already known to everyone! I believe that Zhuang Zhou is dead, you are not more afraid! If you are afraid, just stay here obediently, and I will bring people in!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and led everyone into the city!
Wu Tong on the side also said to the man in gray: "What are you afraid of! After entering the village, the villagers arrested by the ancestor have already confirmed that Zhuang Zhou is dead, and you don't know it! I think you were scared by Zhuang Zhou......
The gray-clothed man suddenly stayed on the spot, his original intention was to persuade Zhou Bonian to be cautious, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and it made Zhou Bonian forget the last trace of doubt and act rashly.
In fact, the man in gray really didn't grasp Zhou Bonian's psychology.
Zhou Bonian is indeed cunning and suspicious. However, as a generation of grandmasters, he still has the arrogance and self-esteem that he has cultivated over the decades, so he can't show his fear of Zhuang Zhou in front of others no matter what. The words of the man in gray made Zhou Bonian very ashamed. This is tantamount to pointing to his fear of Zhuang Zhou, how can he stand it!
In front of Zhou Bonian, several loyal disciples surrounded him with swords and arrows, and more than a hundred people began to enter the Li Mansion.
The courtyard of the Li Mansion is very large, and when you enter the door, you will see a bluestone road winding forward, and the bluestone road is full of all kinds of strange shrubs, small trees, mountain rocks, and of course, the pavilions and pavilions dotted among them.
Zhou Bonian frowned, called Wu Tong over, and said, "You lead the way in front......
Wu Tong secretly complained. That night, I came in in a daze, and fled in a panic, not remembering the path at all. However, since Zhou Bonian gave the order, he had no choice but to take the lead. Walk along the bluestone road all the way inside.
The man in gray also followed closely behind Zhou Bonian.
The 100 people behind did not follow behind like a long snake, but spread out along the bluestone road, slashing into the bushes and trees around them with long knives as they went. Suddenly, countless branches and leaves were cut down, making a chaotic sound.
If there had been an enemy hiding in this bush, it would have been cut to pieces, and the blood would have been blurred.
But. Not the slightest trace of the enemy was found along the way.
Zhou Bonian's heart became more and more nervous, this kind of calm was too terrifying! He even wanted to give an order and quickly exit this strange mansion!
After walking a few hundred meters inside, I gradually saw some white cloth and silk and other things scattered on the bushes and roads beside me, these white cloths were in the shape of long strips, scattered irregularly on the ground and bushes. It was as if someone had been pulled down from somewhere in a hurry.
Zhou Bonian felt a strong strange atmosphere.
Finally, a three-story attic appeared in front of me. Wu Tong pointed his hand and said, "Senior Ancestor, Senior Brother Liang and I met Zhuang Zhou's ...... on this."
Zhou Bonian looked up and saw that although this attic was only three floors. But in the dark of night, it looks extraordinarily high. Moreover, he was surprised to find that there were also a few strips of white cloth hanging down on the second and third floors of the attic, fluttering in the wind, which was indescribably strange in the night.
Wu Tong continued: "The second floor is Zhuang Zhou's residence, and I think the thing that the ancestor wants may be inside......
Zhou Bonian's eyes lit up, and Wu Tong's words suddenly gave him infinite desire and courage. His brain suddenly became bright, and he said: "I finally know what happened to the strips of white cloth!" Zhuang Zhou is indeed dead, and he has done a ritual here, but he is afraid that the leakage of the news will cause chaos in Yunmeng Mountain, and the disciples of Yunmeng Mountain who presided over this matter are in a hurry to return to the mountain to compete for the position of patriarch, so they hurriedly cleaned up the scene, so they made this place a mess...... "He thought that he was nervous by those white cloths just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. It seems that after Zhuang Zhou's death, both Qixia Village and Yunmeng Mountain suddenly had no leader, and the disciples were all fighting openly and secretly, who still had the heart to pay attention to this old mansion of the Li family!
Wu Tong nodded hurriedly and said: "Master Ancestor is wise, he can guess the truth of the matter in just a few words...... Although he firmly believes that Zhuang Zhou is dead, he has always been uneasy in his heart, if his experience is really just a dream, then this crime of lying about the military situation will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces by Zhou Bonian. Now he heard that Zhou Bonian also believed that Zhuang Zhou was dead, and hurriedly flattered a few words, in fact, it was to give himself a way out, even the wise and martial master said that Zhuang Zhou was dead, in case something went wrong, his guilt would be much smaller......
How could Zhou Bonian not know about Wutong's little tricks, but he didn't expose it, and said to a few disciples behind him with a gloomy face: "A few of you go up with me, and you, take people to guard around the attic." You, take a dozen people to search the neighborhood and see if there is any situation!"
Everyone agreed, and they all dispersed in order.
Zhou Bonian personally held the torch and led people to step into the attic.
Suddenly, there was a long laugh in the night sky, and this long laugh was so straight and abrupt, as if a bird suddenly passed in the sky without a trace, hula and circled above everyone's heads.
Zhou Bonian was taken aback, his face changed drastically, he instinctively stepped back, and shouted repeatedly: "Stand back, stand back!" Everyone was also panicked, regardless of the southeast and northwest, they turned around and ran.
This run, the disciples of Feimeng Mountain are uneven, and their timidity and fear of things are fully revealed. As soon as these people heard that there was danger, they didn't care about the elders of the master, they actually only cared about themselves, and even pushed each other, and several people were pushed to the ground, trampled by the people behind them, and screamed, and there was chaos.
Zhou Bonian regretted it, knowing that his roar just now had caused a big disaster, he knew that his disciple was not successful, but he didn't expect to be so pusy at a critical moment!
At the moment when he was at the end, he picked up the cheap, and after turning around, he became the front! Zhou Bonian had no choice but to follow behind and evacuate quickly.
But soon, a few disciples turned back out of breath, crying and shouting, "The gate is closed, and we can't get out!"
As soon as they shouted like this, the others were even more bloodless and chaotic!
Zhou Bonian looked at the group of ugly disciples in front of him, his heart was anxious and angry, he raised the Pu knife in his hand, cut down a few disciples who cried the most fiercely, and scolded: "Useless beasts, what's the use of leaving you!"
Seeing the blood of several disciples splashed on the spot, the others were shocked for a while, although they were still terribly scared in their hearts, but they had always known that Zhou Bonian was ruthless and ruthless, and when they saw their companions dying instantly, they suddenly quieted down and didn't dare to run around anymore.
Zhou Bonian was so angry that he was so frightened that more than 100 people didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, how could he not be depressed and angry!
After that long laugh, the surroundings became silent again, as if it was just a hallucination of everyone. But Zhou Bonian knew that the door was closed, and his more than 100 people had obviously become turtles in the urn, and there was no escape!
He suddenly remembered something, looked for Wutong in the crowd, but found that Wutong, who had been following him closely, was gone, but the gray-clothed man who was ridiculed and sarcastic by himself stood aside, waiting for him, his lips were white, and he muttered: "I know that Zhuang Zhou has a deceitful ......."
After all, Zhou Bonian has been through the storm for a long time, and he quickly calmed down after a moment of panic, and now his plan is only to fight to the death! He shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, put out the torch in your hand, hide in the darkness, and take advantage of the chaos to kill!" As he spoke, he first put the torch still on the ground and stepped on it with a few feet. The rest of the crowd followed suit, and soon, the courtyard of the Li Mansion fell into darkness.
Originally, it was obvious that it was reasonable to raise a fire to move forward in the dark of night, so why did Zhou Bonian put out the fire torches in everyone? It turned out that Zhou Bonian thought of the high courtyard wall around Li's house in an instant, and quickly guessed the way Zhuang Zhou set up an ambush: that is, the high wall was covered with archers, and when he gave an order, he was condescending, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once! And he was surrounded by more than 100 people, and if he held a torch, he would become a live target. Therefore, only by extinguishing the torch and disturbing the enemy's line of sight can there be a glimmer of hope of escaping.
At the moment when he extinguished the torch, Zhou Bonian had already noticed a high wall on the left, which was the closest to him and a relatively short section of the wall. Therefore, as soon as the torch was extinguished, he did not care much, and his body rose from the ground, and rushed straight in that direction like a bird, trying to escape.
As for the more than 100 disciples who were besieged, where could he take care of it!
However, as soon as Zhou Bonian jumped, that long laugh sounded again. Only this time, the laughter was filled with more contempt and disdain. Along with the laughter came the sound of swishing and breaking through the air!
The surrounding walls of the Li Mansion suddenly became bright, and hundreds of archers stood up, their bowstrings full, and their sharp arrows pointed directly at the people in the courtyard.
Zhou Bonian only felt that a few sharp arrows flew in front of him, and he hurriedly turned in the air, avoiding three, but failed to avoid the fourth, and with a pop, he hit his left arm. He grunted and fell to the ground.
Then, I heard a voice on the high wall saying, "Uncle Zhou, it's really annoying me Zhuang Zhou to come to visit my nephew so late!"
