Chapter Forty-Seven: Returning in Vain
As soon as he jumped out of the window, there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air behind him.
Not only that, but the sound of a dense crossbow machine was also heard from the courtyard wall outside the attic.
Shen Lian's face changed, and only then did he know the reason why Lin Zhongtian kicked the desk flying.
It turned out that Lord Tan had already laid a net and mobilized hundreds of officers and soldiers to surround the sect division.
At this moment, not only was the attic full of their people, but even the outside of the attic and the courtyard wall were full of officers and soldiers armed with bows and crossbows.
Seeing the rain of arrows on the courtyard wall, Lin Zhongtian was not in a hurry, holding the girl in his arms, the latter came first to catch up with the desk, stepped heavily on it with his right foot, and his body climbed steadily, dodging the oncoming arrow rain, and flew directly out of the courtyard wall with the power of jumping.
At the same time, the tumbling desk was also changed by this kick.
Coincidentally, it smashed on the officers and soldiers standing on the courtyard wall.
The officers and men who were hit were hit like they were hit hard, and they fell backwards to the courtyard wall and fell heavily to the ground.
One of the officers and men staggered to his feet, holding the back of his head and starry eyes, when he was suddenly slammed into his body by a heavy object falling from the sky, and immediately spurted blood from his mouth, rolled his eyes, and completely fainted.
"I'm sorry bro."
Shen Lian couldn't help but apologize, then gritted his teeth, stood up with a long knife, and staggered on.
After taking a few steps, seven or eight officers and soldiers rushed out from behind him, their eyes swept away, locked on Shen Lian, and rushed over with a shout.
The familiar sound of shouting and killing came into his ears, causing Shen Lian to be in a trance for a moment.
It was as if he had returned to the bloody Shura battlefield eight years ago, with a vicious enemy in his eyes, and he was an isolated and helpless boat in this sea of enemies.
Soon, the enemy's blade summoned Shen Lian back to reality.
Shen Lian staggered to dodge the long knife swinging in front of him, roared, and met the enemy.
"Poofโ"
The sharp embroidered spring knife severed the enemy's arm, and blood splattered Shen Lian's chest and cheek.
Shen Lian wiped his face indiscriminately, glaring at the officers and soldiers in front of him with blood-red eyes.
"Kill!"
Shen Lian roared, raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand and swung it forward.
At that moment, an arrow flew past him like lightning, striking the officer in the chest.
The rough body of the arrow pierced the heart of the officer and soldier, instantly scattering the strength of his whole body.
Looking at the figure in front of him who was unwilling and collapsed to the ground, Shen Lian couldn't help but be stunned in place.
Immediately afterward, one arrow after another slashed past him, killing all the officers and soldiers one by one with precision.
Shen Lian turned his head to look, and saw that on the top of the attic thirty steps away, Lin Zhongtian was holding a longbow and aiming in this direction.
Seeing him turn his head to look, Lin Zhongtian had a smile on his face, pulled the empty bow defiantly, and then turned around and jumped off the roof.
โโฆโฆ Damn it. โ
Shen Lian gritted his teeth, clenched the embroidered spring knife, and turned around to chase in the direction where Lin Zhongtian disappeared.
Things have come to this point, and he has no other way out, just a temporary road to the dark.
When he turned the corner in front of him, Shen Lian staggered a few steps, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.
After two waves of arrows and rounds of fighting, Shen Lian was exhausted at this time, and his body was covered with bruises.
He was hit by two arrows in his left arm and one in his right leg, and he had seven strings shot from the sky in the forest.
If it weren't for the tenacious will to survive that supported him, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground and passed out.
"Are you okay?"
A voice of surprise suddenly sounded in front of him.
Shen Lian raised his head abruptly and looked at the figure in front of him.
"Pay ...... Fu Qingyun! โ
Shen Lian gritted his teeth and pronounced the name.
Although the picture in front of him was a little blurry, he recognized the face at a glance that he would never forget.
Lin Zhongtian blinked, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, waved it again, and seeing that he still looked out of focus, he immediately pursed his lips and said to the people around him:
"Forget it, this guy can't hold it, you go and carry him!"
โโฆโฆโ
Shen Lian was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that there was another person beside Lin Zhongtian.
Just as he was about to push away the man's arm and glance at the man's face, a familiar whisper froze him completely.
"Second brother, it's me."
Jin Yichuan's whispered whisper came into his ears.
Perhaps it was because the familiar voice removed all the guards, Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to think about why his third brother appeared beside Lin Zhongtian, he was overwhelmed by the tidal wave of exhaustion.
Jin Yichuan reached out at the right time and took the fainted Shen Lian in his arms.
Looking at the wounds and blood on his brother's body, Jin Yichuan frowned tightly.
Lin Zhongtian turned around, picked up the unconscious girl in the corner, and said softly: "I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to speak, when you get to the medical hall, I will explain them one by one." โ
โโฆโฆโ
Jin Yichuan frowned, but when he heard the hurried footsteps in the distance, he still nodded, and followed Lin Zhongtian with Shen Lian on his back.
At the same time, in the lobby of the main entrance of the Teaching Workshop Division, Tan Li hurriedly walked down the stairs with a few henchmen, ignoring the trembling Yingying Yanyan in the corner of the lobby, walked quickly to a eunuch, and bowed respectfully.
"Father-in-law."
"Huh? Lord Tan, what's the situation upstairs, have you caught the murderer who robbed the prison? โ
"Back to my father-in-law, the murderer...... Ran. โ
"Ran away?!"
The eunuch subconsciously raised his shrill voice.
Tan Li's body trembled, and he pressed his head lower in shame: "Father-in-law, it's not that he doesn't do his best, it's really that the murderer is strong in martial arts, and there are masters around him to help, and he used a strong crossbow in his humble position, but he couldn't take him down."
โโฆโฆ Is there really such a high master? โ
"It's true!"
Tan Li hurriedly nodded and said, "If your father-in-law doesn't believe it, you can ask those officers and soldiers." โ
Seeing that Tan Li said it sincerely, the eunuch didn't want to ask again, after all, there were so many pairs of eyes staring, Tan Li didn't dare to really lie in front of him even if he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.
The eunuch glanced at Tan Li, who was hanging his head, snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "According to what you say, hundreds of officers and soldiers can't take him, so the world is so big, can't he walk sideways?" โ
"Not necessarily." Tan Li cautiously raised his head and said, "I have been handling cases for decades, and I have arrested countless masters of the rivers and lakes, some of whom are even more tricky than this Fu Qingyun, but in the end, the lowly position still caught them." โ
"Oh?" The eunuch raised his eyebrows, "So, Lord Tan already has a clue?" โ
"Yes, father-in-law!" Tan Li hurriedly nodded and said, "Although the origin of Fu Qingyun is still a fog, I have some impressions of the master beside him, but the situation is urgent, and I can't think of it for the first time, now that I think about it, that person seems to be the general banner under Zhang Yingbaihu, the secretary of the Beizhen Prefecture, some time ago, I also met him in the prison." โ
"Jin Yiwei?"
The eunuch's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "That's the emperor's pro-army, are you sure you're not mistaken?" โ
Tan Li nodded decisively: "I'm very sure." โ
The eunuch's face was cloudy: "No wonder that murderer can rob the prison, it turns out that a nail was planted in the brocade guard, our family will go back to report to Your Majesty, this Beizhen Fusi really needs to be cleaned up!" โ
After speaking, the eunuch waved his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the outside of the sect.
Tan Li hurriedly stopped him: "Father-in-law, there is one more thing ......"
"What's the matter, say!"
"Nothing." Tan Li said cautiously, "It's that fire gun...... soldier."
"It's slow, isn't it?" The eunuch glanced at him and said softly, "Don't worry, this time our family thought badly, I didn't expect that Fu Qingyun to escape so quickly, next time, our family will definitely transfer the fire gun soldiers to you as soon as possible!" โ
"Then thank you father-in-law!"
Tan Li immediately bowed respectfully and bowed his hand.
