42. Attack and kill in the night

The wind was cold.

The noon sun shone on the earth, and the distant convoy gradually came into everyone's sight.

Lin Mang tugged on the reins and squinted at the convoy of Izumo Province in front of him.

The size of the convoy was not very large, and the total number of people was only about 100.

In addition, there was another Ming army of about 100 people around the convoy to escort them.

Wherever the Izumo country's convoy went, the local state government sent personnel to escort it, and Toshofu was no exception.

The only special thing is that this time Dongchang Mansion also needs to escort the show girl into the palace together.

Lin Mang waved his hand and signaled to move on, and the convoy behind him also moved again.

As the convoy approached Izumo Province, the previous centurion Tang rushed forward to begin the handover with the sergeants guarding the perimeter.

In fact, the escort task of the envoys of Izumo Kingdom was more in charge of Tang Chong, and this time they were really responsible for the show girl who entered Beijing.

When he left, he received a secret letter from Yao Tingquan of Qianhu.

According to the letter, this time it was on the surface to escort Princess Izumo Guolixiu into Beijing, but it was these show girls who were really escorted.

As for the real reason, it is obviously not for him to know, and the letter does not state it.

Soon, the sergeant guarding the periphery rode away, and was taken over by the government army led by Tang Chong.

The convoy is on the road again.

……

It's getting dark.

Light snow fell in the sky.

The convoy had already driven out of the boundaries of Dongchang City and arrived at a post station.

Tang Chong rode his horse and said, "My lord, it's getting late, so I can only camp here temporarily, and there is a post station in front of me for the show girl to stay." ”

"Besides......" Tang Chong paused and continued, "I have asked the people of the envoys of Izumo Kingdom, and they say that their princess is inconvenient to get out of the carriage. ”

He always felt that this group of people was weird, and the so-called princess didn't show up, and even the convoy didn't let outsiders approach.

"Leave them alone." Lin Mang said lightly: "Follow me to the front post station to have a look." ”

Yao Tingquan deliberately told him in a secret letter, which shows the importance of this task, and he did not dare to be careless.

As for the convoy in Izumo Province, if Karasuma is in the convoy, ordinary people can't even get close.

The two walked to the front station, and Tang Chong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

An old post man walked out of it, bowed down, saw the two people outside the door, and said busily: "I've seen two adults." ”

Lin Mang glanced up and down at the post guard and asked, "Is there any room available in the post station?" ”

The post man hurriedly said: "My lord, the rooms in the post station are now uninhabited, there are two small courtyards and forty-two rooms. ”

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the lantern he was holding in his hand, and asked, "Did you just go out?" ”

"Nope." The post guard shook his head in surprise and said, "The weather is cold, and no one has come recently, so the lowly ones have gone to bed early." ”

Lin Mang nodded.

But the next moment, the knife was suddenly drawn.

A brilliant sword light swept through the postman's eyes.

The pawn's eyes widened violently, and his body dodged backwards as if reflexively.

At that moment, the speed that erupted was by no means that of an ordinary old man, and the floor under him was shattered by his stepping.

It's just that his speed is still slow, and the majestic sword qi flies out with his head rolled around.

Blood gushes like a pillar!

[Power +1500]

"Innate Realm ......" a sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Mang's mouth.

Tang Chong stared at Lin Mang with a stunned expression.

Looking at the dead post man, his eyes were full of incomprehension.

Lin Mang bent down and groped around the post man's body, and pulled out a token from his bosom.

"Mingjiao!"

Peeling off the postman's clothes, he saw a flame pattern on his chest.

Lin Mang couldn't help frowning, it's Mingjiao again?

This reminded him of the murder of Mingjiao outside the city.

Tang Chong's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "These demon sect thieves! ”

It's just that he quickly reacted, why did the people of the Ming Sect pretend to be post soldiers?

Tang Chong hesitated: "My lord, how did you find out his identity?" ”

Lin Mang pointed to the lantern on the ground and sneered: "There is dirt at the bottom of the lantern, and it is very new, it is clear that he has gone out, but this person said that he has never gone out, isn't it a contradiction?" ”

"Besides, didn't you notice that his clothes didn't fit?"

Tang Chong looked down at the lantern, and sure enough, he found some moist dirt at the bottom of it.

"Someone!" Lin Mang snorted coldly.

Several brocade guards in the rear immediately rushed over and arched their hands: "My lord! ”

Lin Mang said coldly: "Search the entire post station, I don't want such an accident again." ”

Everyone looked at the corpses on the ground and quickly rushed into the station.

These elites drawn from hundreds of households from all over the country are not only powerful, but more importantly, they have extremely rich experience.

After a long time, several people walked out, and one of them hugged his fists and said, "My lord, several corpses were found in the backyard, and they just died." ”

Lin Mang held the knife in one hand and strode to the backyard.

The ground in a garden in the backyard was turned up, and three frozen and stiff corpses lay on the ground.

Lin Mang looked down at several corpses, his face changed slightly.

"Not good!"

"Quick, go back!"

Lin Mang turned around and left, his arrows were flying, and he quickly ran outside the post station.

At this moment, there was already shouting and killing outside.

A group of black-clothed people came from nowhere, with a large number of them, and they showed a ruthless killing intent as soon as they came.

These black-clothed men were all martial arts masters, and more than a dozen soldiers on the periphery were quickly killed.

The remaining sixteen brocade guards quickly guarded the carriage to fend off the flying arrows.

Lin Mang strode out of the post station, the bluestone floor under his feet exploded, and his body soared into the air, like an eagle swooping down.

"Poof!"

A touch of cold white knife light slashed through.

A man in black was instantly torn in half, blood splattered.

"Protect the carriage!"

Lin Mang shouted violently, his figure swam like a ghost, and cold sword light suddenly flashed in the dark night.

Heads rolling!

Blood gushes like a pillar!

"Ahh......hh

A woman's scream sounded from inside the carriage, and arrows were nailed to the carriage.

"Buzz!"

The piercing sound of breaking the air was like a bowstring breaking, piercing the night.

In the night, a fine iron arrow flashing with cold and cold light shot quickly, aiming directly at Lin Mang.

Lin Mang stepped suddenly, and the whole person flew up, and the golden light on his body flickered.

Grabbing the flying arrow, he hurled it back, piercing a man in black who was rushing towards him.

At this moment, a shadow-like figure in the night quickly approached the carriage.

The two brocade guards tried to step forward to stop them, but they were pierced by two throwing knives in an instant.

"Look for death!" Lin Mang snorted coldly, and the killing intent in his eyes surged.

The terrifying sword qi fell like a wave!

Lin Mang's figure followed, and the blade pointed directly at the heart of the man in black.

"Boom!"

Two daggers suddenly appeared in the hands of the man in black, and they stopped the knife in a cross shape.

Sparks burst and shimmer in the night.

Lin Mang's pupils shrank.

"True Qi Realm!"
