Yanshan County,

In the prefectural government.

The once clean and tidy county government is now dilapidated, and the entire county government front hall is in tatters.

On the street, several horse bandits colluded and staggered, their faces full of alcohol.

In the main hall of the county government, a group of horse bandit leaders gathered together and toasted and drank.

In the top position, Yan Kui hugged the two oirans snatched from the Qinglou in the city, and lay lazily on the Taishi chair.

The Oiran next to him served tremblingly, his face pale.

Outside the hall, faint footsteps could be heard.

Immediately after, a young man dressed as a scholar walked in.

The scholar bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Village master, there was news from the Fucheng just now, and the group of brocade guards have rushed to Yanshan. ”

Yan Kui opened his eyes violently, took the wine on the table and drank it all, and said with a cruel smile: "Lao Tzu's revenge can finally be avenged!" ”

The scholar hesitated, hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "The owner of the village, the comer is not good, should we avoid it?" ”

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

After all, it was Jinyiwei, the Son of Heaven's army, they looked at a large number of people, but it was just a group of rabble, how could they be Jinyiwei's opponents.

Yan Kui pushed away the Oiran on the side and said with a cruel smile: "There's nothing to be afraid of." ”

"This time, with the help of the masters of the White Lotus Sect, even if the Jinyi Guard."

"Besides, we still have the people of this city, and it depends on who can play with whom."

The scholar sighed lightly, and stopped talking.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the group of demons of the White Lotus Sect poured into the village owner, and asked the village owner to attack the county seat.

They usually only robbed some past merchants or Jianghu sects, but what they are doing now is a big crime to punish the nine clans.

What about the White Lotus Sect, it has not been cowering in the shadows all these years, and it only dares to make things behind its back.

If the imperial court really sent a large army to come, how could they resist them?

However, he also knew that the owner of the village could no longer listen to his words.

……

Lin Mang and his entourage led nearly 100 brocade guards out of the city and ran all the way.

rode the horse and galloped for a day and a night, and finally came to the boundary of Yanshan County.

In sight, a ruined village looms.

"Huh~" Lin Mang tugged on the reins and squinted at the village in front of him.

Desolate!

Depression!

It was his first impression.

Sun Chengye stepped forward immediately, his eyes also looking towards the village in the distance, his expression slightly condensed.

"No cooking smoke."

Lin Mang sighed lightly: "Yes, there is no cooking smoke. ”

It was evening, but there was not the slightest smoke in the village ahead.

The two looked at each other silently, already guessing in their hearts.

Lin Mang took a deep breath and rode his horse forward.

On the ground, a thick layer of dried blood solidified.

A frozen, stiff corpse lay on the ground.

There was a deep look of horror on their faces.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, there are several hideous-looking corpses.

The corpse swayed gently in the cold wind......

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone changed color, and a trace of anger arose in their chests.

Sun Chengye's face was full of anger, and he scolded angrily: "These beasts! ”

Lin Mang was silent for a moment and said, "Let's rest here for one night for the time being, we are already sleepy and tired all the way." ”

Even if they are all martial artists, it is difficult for their bodies to eat after such a long journey.

Lin Mang turned his head to look at Tang Qi and asked, "Does the person sent send a reply?" ”

Tang Qi shook his head solemnly and sighed, "I haven't seen a reply so far." ”

Lin Mang squinted at the village in front of him, lost in thought.

The scouts in the Jinyi Guard are all elites, and those who can solve the Jinyi Guard's scouts must be masters.

After a closer look, from the time they left Beijing, their whereabouts had actually been exposed.

Now that the other party has solved the Jinyi Wei scout, it is natural to be able to guess that a large number of Jinyi guards will come soon.

The final result is nothing more than two,

One, directly frightened, fled in panic.

The other is to wait for the rabbit and insist on resisting.

Lin Mang prefers the latter.

So...... Where is their confidence?

Sun Chengye shouted a few times, but Lin Mang didn't answer, and couldn't help raising his voice: "Lord Lin, what are you thinking?" ”

Lin Mang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing. ”

Everyone entered the village, cleaned up briefly, and fell asleep one by one.

Lin Mang walked around the village, summoned Tang Qi, and advised: "After nightfall, let all our people hide, stand up those corpses, and put our clothes on them." ”

Tang Qi looked puzzled, but seeing Lin Mang's solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask more.

Time passed quietly.

The sky is dark,

The snow is drifting.

In the sky, I don't know when it snowed heavily.

"Click!"

A dry branch made a crisp cracking sound in the snow.

Under the cover of night, a group of black-clad figures approached quickly.

They are like ghosts in the dark night, stepping on the snow without a trace, leaving no trace.

Hundreds of black-clad figures came out of the village and quietly jumped into the roof.

A man in black has a delicate bow and crossbow in his hand.

"Whew!"

The sound of breaking the air suddenly rose.

"Poof!"

In an instant, countless dense crossbow arrows shot into the figure standing in front of him.

One after another, the black-clothed figures fell into the village, and one person stepped forward and quickly slashed through the neck of one person.

But the next moment, there was obvious astonishment in the eyes of the man in black.

Looking down at the frozen and stiff corpse, his face changed suddenly.

Dead person?

"Retreat!"

Before the words fell, the doors of the surrounding houses were suddenly broken, and immediately after, countless crossbow arrows shot out of the house.

The same scene played out again.

With a scream, the black-clothed figures burst into a cloud of blood mist and fell to the ground with a wail.

Lin Mang walked out with a knife and said coldly: "Leave a few alive, and kill the rest!" ”

"Yes!"

There was a loud shout in the darkness.

Hundreds of brocade guards stepped forward with swords, formed a battle formation, quickly divided the battlefield, and broke them one by one.

For a time, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the fight was fierce.

Lin Mang dragged the knife, his figure was like a ghost, and the light of the knife swept through the darkness.

The moment the bright sword light lit up, there were heads rising into the sky.

The warm blood melted the falling snow, and a thick layer of ice crystals condensed on the ground again.

The movement of the battle woke up Sun Chengye and the others, and although they didn't know what was happening, they quickly joined the battle.

Hundreds of black-clothed men were surrounded and wiped out in the blink of an eye.

In the snow, Tang Qi brought a chair for Lin Mang, then stood respectfully behind him and opened an umbrella.

Lin Mang sat down slowly, gently wiped the embroidered spring knife in his hand, looked at the four people kneeling in a row in front of him, and said lightly: "Say it!" ”

"Who are you, and who sent you?"

"But I advise you to think about it clearly, I think, you don't want to try the punishment of Jinyiwei yourself, do you?"
