Chapter 227: Arson, Blade Locks Throat
The creek flows slowly at the foot, clear and meandering, coming from a distant village and then flowing silently into the distance.
A group of figures appeared on the edge of the creek, and the tall horses let out a series of impatient snoring.
Looking at the red-walled and green-tiled manor on the highest side of the northwest of the village in the distance, Li Xuan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
Although this is Yangzhou, there are not big rivers everywhere, and if he wants to flood the mountains and rivers with water again, he has to prepare for at least three days of water storage.
When that time comes, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold.
In the distance, the village is centered on the Zhuangzi at the highest point in the northwest corner, and it is scattered in all directions.
Peach trees are planted everywhere, peach blossoms are in full bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, the villages and towns are strange, the green water surrounds the village, and it is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Lord Wang, do you want to kill him directly?" Qiu Zhenmu stood aside and suggested to Li Xuan in a low voice.
"Do you dare, this king doesn't dare, who knows how many people are in it, how many traps there are, we are only sixteen people here now, even if they all rush in, they may not be able to kill them all, but they will lose a lot, this kind of loss-making transaction this king can't do it, we have to think of something else."
Li Xuan shook his head, and said while pondering, "Since the water attack can't work, then it can only be burned. In this way, Brother Qiu, after a while, this king will lead people to sneak in from behind, and then set fire everywhere in the whole Zhuangzi, and when that time comes, you will rush in again."
Hearing Li Xuan say this, Qiu Zhenmu immediately quit: "Lord, do you still have subordinates who sneak in and set fire, if something happens to the prince, you can't afford to wait for it."
"I also want you to go for me, but if you think about it, with your rough hands, I am afraid that you will be discovered just now, and when the time comes, I will have to rush to the village to save you in person...... Alright, that's it." Li Xuan looked behind him and said with a serious face: "Zhou Qian, Su Baotong, Zhang Huan, Guo Xing, the four of you will go with this king, and the others will attack from the front with Qiu Beishen, and once you see the fire in the courtyard, you will immediately kill you."
"Whoa!" Everyone present did not hesitate at all, and all bowed down to promise.
"Let's go!" Li Xuan hit his horse and immediately headed towards the main road in the northwest direction, and did not immediately approach the manor.
In such a dark village, even the most stupid people already know to arrange eyeliner, if they just rush straight like this, I am afraid that they will not wait to be discovered.
Li Xuan and the others made a big circle, even giving up their horses, and finally climbed up from behind with ropes.
Lying on the roof, Li Xuan looked down, and faintly could see that there were more than a dozen light and dark sentry posts, intertwined and scattered, almost all the dead corners were included in the scope of monitoring, however, perhaps no one had come for a long time, these light and dark sentry posts were obviously slack, and there were many more real dead ends all of a sudden.
This is a three-entry courtyard Zhuangzi, the front of the light and dark sentry has the largest number of people, the further back, the fewer the number.
It didn't take long for Li Xuan to appear behind a rockery, Li Xuan waved his hand at the others, and the other four people immediately scattered in all directions.
Li Xuan didn't act rashly, everyone else's eyes were on the rest of Zhuangzi, and only his destination was the row of gorgeous houses at the back of Zhuangzi.
There is no doubt that Ye Wanwan and Wen Bingyan live there.
Li Xuan quietly left the rockery, and between the rocks behind the position where he had stood, a lying corpse could be vaguely seen.
With the help of the cover of the wooden pillars in the hallway, Li Xuan quickly came to the second house on the left, and then opened the window and went straight in.
I was careful not to make a single sound.
There was no one in the room, just black wooden boxes one after another.
Li Xuan stepped forward and gently opened the wooden box, and immediately, a whole box of silk and satin appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.
The other boxes were quickly opened by Li Xuan, some of them were filled with silk and satin, and some were filled with jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were valuable things.
The only pity is that there is no money in these things, no copper coins, which is very strange.
How can there be no money, copper coins, gold, silver, these real hard currencies are nothing here.
Reaching out and grabbing a piece of silk, Li Xuan took out a fire fold and lit it without hesitation.
Immediately, he set fire to several other pieces of silk, and then set the whole room on fire with them.
In an instant, smoke billowed out.
Wen Bingyan sat alone at the round table in the room, her white light gauze was set aside, and she was wearing only a light green skirt.
Picking up a white porcelain teacup, looking at the clear boiled water in the cup, Wen Bingyan's face was gloomy.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
Wen Bingyan immediately put down the water glass, quickly put on a light veil, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as the door opened, a puff of smoke immediately rushed into the face.
A maid in Tsing Yi immediately stepped forward and solemnly reported: "Hall Master, someone has set fire to ......."
"Kill!" Before the maid's words were finished, there were already bursts of shouts of killing from the direction of the door.
"Order, let the outsiders do their best to block it, and it won't be long before support arrives and everything will be over. Okay, is the Holy Maiden still in the room?" Wen Bingyan looked at the room on the other side, and at this time, she happened to see the Holy Maiden Ye Wanwan quickly walking out of it.
"Go get busy." Wen Bingyan waved her hand to let the maid leave, and then quickly walked towards Ye Wanwan.
"Uncle Shi, what happened, did the officers and soldiers come to the door?" Ye Wanwan's expression was awe-inspiring, but also with a hint of murderous aura.
"Nothing, it's all small things." Wen Bingyan grabbed Ye Wanwan's wrist with one hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about that, you come with me."
Wen Bingyan grabbed Ye Wanwan's wrist and walked quickly towards the main hall, I don't know when it started, and a flame also ignited in the corner of the main hall.
Under the smoke, everything in front of me has begun to blur.
Wen Bingyan had no intention of putting out the fire at all, but walked directly to the plaque in the middle hall, her hand was just about to touch it, and suddenly she seemed to have found something, turned to look at the corner behind her, and whispered: "Who, come out."
In the smoke, a figure wearing a gold silk robe on a black background walked out, with a grim face and a solemn look in his eyes: "Nanchang Li Xuan, I've seen two."
"You're the only one?" Wen Bingyan subconsciously looked around, although there was a lot of smoke in the room, it was still certain that it was only Li Xuan.
"I didn't expect to meet the two of you, but when I saw that there were only two of them, for a while, I also felt a little itchy and unbearable, so I came to ask for help, and I hope the two of you will give advice." Li Xuan's right hand flung forward, and a soft sword was thrown out directly.
The cold light flickered, and the chill was overwhelming.
"Choke." Two short swords appeared in the hands of Wen Bingyan and Ye Wanwan at the same time, with the same sharpness and similar movements. Z.br>
"Uncle Shi, be careful, this person is very wrong, he seems to be born with divine powers." Ye Wanwan whispered a warning in Wen Bingyan's ear.
The last time she missed under Li Xuan's sword, Ye Wanwan reviewed the original battle more than once, and Li Xuan's abnormality was clearly in her mind.
Li Xuan looked at the two people in front of him, and the disdain at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
[Ye Wanwan, the holy daughter of the Tianyin Sect, charming and charming, scheming and vicious, congenital true seed great consummation]
[Wen Bingyan, the master of the Huaiyang Hall of the Tianyin Sect, the subordinate of the four elders An Rongxiang, the small consummation of the first realm of the Xuanti fetus]
Li Xuan's gaze completely fell on Wen Bingyan's body, and her eyes were full of playful abuse.
Facing Wen Bingyan, who was a realm higher than him, Li Xuan's eyes did not have the slightest hint of awe, but a posture of eagerness.
"Holy Maiden, you go first." Wen Bingyan stretched out her hand to stop Ye Wanwan, who was trying to fight side by side with her, but her eyes were fixed on Li Xuan.
"You can leave as you please, don't worry, I'll stop you." A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, which made Ye Wanwan hesitate for a while.
"Let's go!" Wen Bingyan stretched out her hand and patted it
, I don't know where it was shot, at that moment, a secret door suddenly appeared on the side wall.
Before Ye Wanwan could react, she was already pushed in by Wen Bingyan.
At this moment, a cold sword flashed.
It was Li Xuan who took advantage of the moment when Wen Bingyan was distracted and silently wiped it towards the back of her neck.
But at this time, Wen Bingyan looked like she had succeeded in her scheming, and the two short swords in her hand had already slashed fiercely towards Li Xuan's soft sword......
The figure was instantaneous, and Wen Bingyan retreated like lightning, but her left hand was already covering the left side of her neck, and blood was splashed.
