Chapter 266: Bamboo Basket Fetching Water

When the third wave of arrow rain ended, the rebels behind Li Yi who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead had basically been shot and killed.

But Li Yi, who was the target, was still alive and unharmed. This also made the two of them itch at the root of their teeth.

And those rebels were all scared by Li Yi. After all, the three companions just now were really worse than the other.

"Keep shooting me!" Faced with such a situation, Zhu Jiu's anger was like a volcanic eruption. At this time, Li Yi once again forced the rebels back two or three meters with the help of three waves of arrow rain, and at this time he was already about ten meters away from the corpse pile.

At this moment, Li Yi suddenly ran in the direction of the rebels with a short body again. At the same time, the archers who were standing on the shoulders of their comrades aimed at Li Yi again.

But this time, the rebels learned to be obedient thoroughly, and they retreated out of the alley at the same time as Li Yi rushed forward.

Therefore, Li Yi no longer had any rebels in front of him at this time to use as a shield. The archers couldn't help but rejoice.

In their opinion, this time, even if Li Yi is great, he will have to be shot into a hedgehog by himself. In the next second, the feather arrow flew out, and with the sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air, a muffled snort continued to sound.

Then the rebel archers fell from the shoulders of their companions. Ju Dove, Zhu Jiu and the others couldn't help but look in the direction where the feather arrow came from, and saw that Li Ji was shooting at the rebels with others on the roof.

Although they had only six or seven longbows, they did not have many feathered arrows. But with only a few longbows and a few feathered arrows, they were able to shoot the rebels on their backs.

And among these people, if you want to say who has the most powerful archery skills, it is Mu Junhe and Yu Zhenlei. One of these two people is deeply inherited by his teacher, and has risen archery to the level of learning.

Another man, who grew up as a steppe tribe, has archery genes in his bones, and it can be said that archery has become his instinct.

So the arrows shot by the two of them are also obviously different from others. First of all, Mu Junhe's arrows can be described as powerful, and the straight lines of the arrows he shot are as if they have been measured.

As a result, the rebel archers he shot were almost always shot in the eyebrows, and they all pierced through the front and back skulls.

His archery skills are simply two extremes compared to his swordsmanship. His archery skills are unfancy, and his swordsmanship is ethereal and unpredictable.

Compared with Mu Junhe, Yu Zhenlei is completely the opposite. On his own knife path, he is taking the path of opening up and uniting the force to reduce the number of ten meetings, and what he pursues is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless!

And his swordsmanship is completely a technical route, although the speed of the feather arrows he shoots is also very fast, but just looking at the rebel he just shot can see the subtlety of his archery skills.

Just when the others shot the rebels down, Yu Zhenlei aimed his feather arrow at Zhu Jiu, who had been directing the rebels to find him.

It's no wonder that Yu Zhenlei will aim at him, his angry roar in the crowd just now is really too eye-catching.

Although he was hiding in the crowd of rebels at the moment, thinking that he was safe, Yu Zhenlei had already targeted him.

When he was in the alley before, Yu Zhenlei wanted to go up and cut this guy. But helplessly, the other party shrank in the crowd of rebels like a turtle, and Yu Zhenlei could only be powerless.

But when Yu Zhenlei went up to the roof, he immediately began to look for Zhu Jiu's traces in the crowd. And Zhu Jiu's shouting just now finally revealed his position.

Yu Zhenlei also locked Zhu Jiu in an instant. So Yu Zhenlei's feather arrows silently shot at him.

In fact, logically speaking, the feather arrows that are generally shot will more or less bring a sound of air explosion. On the one hand, it is because the speed of the feather arrow is fast enough, and on the other hand, it is also because of the problem of the feather arrow itself.

Factors such as the material, shape and length of the arrows are included. But what Yu Zhenlei used just now was the feather arrows left on the roof by the rebels, which was no different from what others used.

But after such a bow and arrow was shot, the feather arrow could keep shaking its head and tail in the air like a spirit snake, without making a sound at all.

At the same time, the feather arrow actually bent a huge arc in the crowd, and finally in a sudden turn, it just crossed the rebels in front of and on the side of Zhu Jiu.

The rebels couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, and it was the first time they had seen such a strange archery technique. Although I had heard that Zheng Gang's subordinates were competing with a group of mysterious masters, it was said that someone shot an arrow that could bend.

At the time, they all thought it was not an exaggeration, but now they believe it.

However, these people around Zhu Jiu were all members of the dove organization that he had cultivated, and they were not those recruited water bandits, so when they found out that the feather arrow was heading for Zhu Jiu, they decisively chose to use their own bodies to block this arrow.

However, they reacted significantly less quickly than the feathered arrows. Although they made a blocking move, it did not have the slightest effect.

Seeing that this feather arrow went straight to Zhu Jiu's throat, Zhu Jiu himself had no time to react at all.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from Zhu Jiu's side. This hand pushed heavily on Zhu Jiu's arm, and Zhu Jiu lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

It was he who made him brush shoulders with death. But although he dodged the fatal arrow, the man behind him was unlucky.

I saw the feather arrow writhing the body of the arrow

"Poof" and it pierced his neck. Then he fell to his knees and frothed at the mouth, whimpering with blood.

"Shoot the guy on the roof for me, I'm going to break him to pieces." Due to the escape from death, Zhu Jiu's heartbeat at this time was beating like a drum.

At this time, however, only four or five archers responded to his order. At this time, the other archers were too frightened by the crowd on the roof to show their heads.

"Senior brother, hurry up, there are a lot of people over there at this time!" Mu Junhe took this opportunity to shout to Li Yi below.

Although I am not sure if the army in the distance is an accomplice of the rebels, it is better to hide from my side if I have thirty-six plans.

Li Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the people on the roof were helping him suppress the archers of the rebels. So he immediately inserted the iron rod and short gun in his hand into the bag on his back, and then took a step and ran to the pile of corpses at a rapid pace.

Even without a pile of corpses, he could climb onto the roof. But in this way, it will be significantly more difficult, and the time will be longer, and the risk you have to take will be much greater.

When they saw Li Yi retreating quickly, Zhu Jiu and Ju Jiu shouted at the same time.

"Stop him!" But at this time, due to the suppression of bows and arrows on the roof, no one dared to step forward to stop the rebels.

After all, no one wants to lose their lives because of this. And Li Yi's side had already stepped onto the pile of corpses in just a few big steps, and then climbed towards the roof without stopping.

Zhu Jiu and Ju Jiu could only watch Li Yi run onto the roof, and there was nothing they could do.

"No, you can't let them go south, hurry up and inform Shuang Jiu and Hu Gu to bring some people to surround these people to Xuanwu Gate." Seeing that it was no longer possible to kill Li Yi and them, Zhu Jiu immediately decided to let people drive Li Yi and them to the north.

As long as Li Yi and the others didn't go south, they wouldn't have a chance to inform Mu Qingyun about the ambush here.

In this way, their ambush operation can continue. And when they eliminate Mu Qingyun and them on their own side, they have time to clean up this group of damn guys.

Even if they were able to escape from the city through the Xuanwu Gate, it didn't matter, because at this time there were still 2,000 water bandits led by Nan Yi outside the city.

Even if they escaped from the city, they would only be caught in the net.

"When this happens, I'm going to crush that kid with the gun and scatter the ashes!" Zhu Jiu said through gritted teeth at this time.

And Li Yi had already disappeared on the roof with everyone at this time. So at the same time, the large army that Mu Junhe saw before had come to the dove organization not far from the ambush.

It's just that these people didn't continue to move north, they just watched from a short distance now. And this team is the Huainan Army led by Mu Qingyun.

As soon as they arrived, they noticed that there was a fight in the alley not far away. It's just that due to the angle, they didn't see the specific situation in the alley.

However, even if he didn't figure out the specific situation, Mu Qingyun still ordered the team to stop.

"Now that Mu Qingyun's team has arrived, although most of us are hidden, our people here are exposed." Ju Dove pretended to be nervous and said, but at this time he was secretly happy in his heart.

Originally, he also arranged for someone to send a letter to Mu Qingyun to tell him that there was an ambush here. But now that the Huainan Army led by Mu Qingyun has arrived here, it shows that the person who delivered the letter did have an accident.

But people are not as good as heaven, and they were so troubled by Li Yi and them just now, although they did not expose all the rebels in ambush, they also exposed their own people.

According to Mu Qingyun's cautious character, he would definitely realize the cattiness in this. Next, even if Mu Qingyun failed to find the clue, he had the opportunity to shout out about the ambush here.

But if that's the case, my life will eventually come to an end. So it's better not to expose yourself until you have to.

"Don't panic, I have a way!" Zhu Jiu was also extremely nervous at this time, if Mu Qingyun and the others saw through the ambush today, then he would definitely be severely punished by Master Pan.

Just when he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do, his peripheral eyes suddenly focused on a dozen carriages not far away.

These carts were filled with large boxes, and these carriages were the ones that the gang of the Freedom Hall had not had time to take with them when they ran away just now.

When he saw these boxes, Zhu Jiu couldn't help but think about it.

"Draw your weapons at once!"

"Zhu, are you crazy? Wouldn't it be self-defeating for us to rush forward with such a few people? Although at this time, the dove wished that Zhu Jiu could order to rush up, and he had the opportunity to tell Mu Qingyun about the ambush here, but he still put on a desperate exhortation on the surface.

And the other rebel soldiers in the alley also looked at Zhu Jiu with blank eyes, and they also wanted to know what Zhu Jiu wanted to do?

If Zhu Jiu really ordered them to fight to the death with the Huainan army, they planned to cut Zhu Jiu off now, and then carry his head to Mu Qingyun to make a vote.

Most of these rebels were recruited bandits, and they had little loyalty in the first place.

The reason why they chose to join the rebels is nothing more than the benefits promised by the rebels.

"What do you want? There are only so many people on our side, if we go up and fight with the Huainan Army, how many lives will we have to have? Zhu Jiu saw that most of the rebels were looking at him vigilantly, so he immediately said righteously.

His words finally dispelled the hostility of the rebels.

"Everyone took off all their armor and got their hair and clothes dirty." Zhu Jiu ordered again.

"Head, why is that?" The others all asked incomprehensibly, in their opinion, their side was already small in number, and now they had to take off the armor on their bodies, and once the fight started, their side would not have the slightest chance to fight back.

"There are more than a dozen cars left by the Freedom Hall Gang over there, since we have already exposed that if we are hiding our heads and tails, we will definitely run away and be suspicious, so it is better for us to stand up in the open!" A smug smile appeared on Zhu Jiu's face.

"Zhu, you mean to let us pretend to be members of the Freedom Hall?" The dove was the first to react, and the others also understood Zhu Dove's intentions.

"That's right! The boss's method is good, this person in the hall has prepared all the props we need, we just need to perform a little! A member of the dove organization immediately clapped his hands and applauded.

"That's right, and most of the brothers on our side are from bandits, so we can't pretend to be Confucian students, but let us play the ruffians is simply handy!" A rebel who was born as a bandit patted his chest and said.

These water bandits are actually not much different from the city fox society rats, it is just that the water bandits are bigger and more ruthless.

In essence, there is no difference between the two at all. Immediately, the rebel from the bandit quickly took off his armor and tossed his hair a little, and then he carried the long knife in his hand to his shoulder, and the momentum of the ruffian and hooligan came up at once.

"Not bad!" Seeing the changes in this water bandit, Zhu Jiu couldn't help but be overjoyed. In his opinion, with the true colors of these water bandits, Mu Qingyun is afraid that no matter how cautious he is, he will be deceived.

"What's your name?" Zhu Jiu asked this water bandit.

"If you wish you all the best, the little one named Wei Wuliu used to be the little leader of the Wild Waves Gang!" This Wei Wuliu understood that Zhu Jiu asked him this to give him benefits, so he immediately said his name and previous identity.

"Wei Wuliu is good! We are all following you, even if you go to play and we will cooperate with you fully, I will definitely have a big reward after this time! Zhu Jiu patted Wei Wuliu's shoulder and estimated.

Wei Wuliu was overjoyed with what Zhu Jiu said.

"Don't worry, sir, watch my performance!" Saying this, Wei Wuliu walked out of the alley with a long knife and a figure-eight step.

As soon as he came out of the alley, he turned his back to Mu Qingyun and the others, and he chose to directly ignore the existence of Mu Qingyun and the others.

Then he swaggered towards the carriage where the boxes were kept. Mu Qingyun was still vigilant about whether there was an ambush in the alley just now, but in the next second, he saw a group of people coming out of the alley.

These people look bohemian, and each of them exudes an uncomfortable sense of cynicism.

What made Mu Qingyun even more unhappy was that after these people got out of the alley, they didn't even look back and walked straight towards the carriage not far away, so none of them even found themselves.

And the leader of the group was carrying a long knife on his shoulder, and he was still cursing in his mouth.

"Sippy! A herd of fat sheep actually let them run away! If you let the helper know, you won't be angry with his old man! ”

"In the past two days, we have been guarding this Xuanwu gate and have already gotten so much property, this is not much, once it is a lot, Wei Tou, why do you care so much!" At this time, Wei Wuliu and Zhu Jiu sang and harmonized.

Mu Qingyun, who was not far away, couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Just when Mu Qingyun felt that something was not quite right with the group of people in front of him, Wei Wuliu and the others finally turned around.

Although Wei Wuliu already knew that Mu Qingyun and them were behind him, he was still very surprised when he turned around.

The look of surprise on his face and the slight trembling voice sounded like it was real.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Wei Wuliu showed a little cringe.

"Who are you? And why is it here? Mu Qingyun asked without answering.

"We are the gang members of the Free Hall, and we obey the orders of my gang leader Huang to escort these belongings back to the gang station!" Wei Wuliu opened his mouth and made up a reasonable reason.

"Oh? Since Huang Budo asked you to send these belongings to the place where the gang is stationed, why did you stay here? At this time, Zhang Shuliang also saw that something was wrong.

"Hey, don't mention that we just met a group of merchants who entered Shouzhou City in the alley over there, these guys are full of brains and fat, and they don't pit the money of our Shouzhou people at a glance, so we want to teach them a lesson!" Wei Wuliu pretended to squirm as he spoke, as if he was embarrassed.

"Oh, how did a few merchants escape from your hands?" Mu Qingyun continued to ask.

"You don't know! Just now, there were more than a dozen masters under your merchants, and our brothers actually suffered a little dark loss without checking one by one, and let these merchants run away from the roof! Zhu Jiu had already seen from Mu Qingyun and Zhang Shuliang's expressions that they had begun to suspect Wei Wuliu, so he hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said.

"Really? I didn't expect that there would be such a strong merchant in my Shouzhou City! A smile appeared on Mu Qingyun's face, but he was sneering in his heart.

Maybe others don't know, but Mu Qingyun knows what kind of person Huang Budo is in this free hall.

When he was a young child, he would often stay with his grandfather to study. And he remembered very well that this Huang Budo was one of his grandfather's personal guards, and he was also a well-known figure in the black-faced army.

Later, when his father succeeded to the throne, Huang Budo and several other guards of his grandfather withdrew from the Huainan Army for different reasons.

Although they had withdrawn from the Huainan Army, Mu Qingyun still paid a lot of attention to these people. Therefore, he knew that Huang Budo was jealous and hateful, and he was not the kind of person who would kill innocents indiscriminately for money.

As for why he guarded this Xuanwu Gate and collected tolls in the past two days, Mu Qingyun also said that he couldn't understand it.

But to say that Huang Budo would arrange people from the Freedom Hall to rob the merchant Mu Qingyun would not believe it.

What made Mu Qingyun even more suspicious was that Wei Wuliu, as the leader of this gang, would let his subordinates steal his own words without getting angry, which seemed very abnormal.

"Pass my orders, and immediately guard against these people's problems!" Before Wei Wuliu and Zhu Jiu could get along with each other, Mu Qingyun had already quietly instructed Zhang Shuliang.

And Zhang Shuliang just nodded slightly, and then quietly dodged and disappeared into the Huainan army. At the same time, some carriages suddenly appeared at the gate of Xuanwu Gate.

These carriages are completely different from the carriages used to pull goods in the temple, and they are all well-made carriages for people to sit in.
