Chapter 170: Saving People
He wielded the knife with great skill, and the people around him not only did not decrease, but increased. The officers and soldiers who were originally just watching the excitement also gathered around, because the people in these prisoner cars were all thieves, and if they were robbed today, they would not be able to escape death when they went back, and even their families would be affected.
Seeing this, the commander was also frightened, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be divided into two places, a group of officers and soldiers directly surrounded them, and the other group was ordered to drive the prisoner cart away. Those officers and soldiers with muskets were originally far away and couldn't see clearly, but then seeing this bizarre scene, someone tried to aim at Lin Pingzhi and fired a shot, but not only did not hit him, but pierced an officer and soldier in front of him.
Lin Pingzhi saw that the prisoner car was getting farther and farther away, and slashed the officers and soldiers in front of him with a knife, and then launched his body to chase after the prisoner car. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers also quickly caught up. But the prisoner cart was pulled by a horse, and it was extremely fast. Lin Pingzhi could have easily caught up, but he didn't dare to take the risk because of the few muskets in the prisoner car. He was worried that these people would go off and accidentally injure Su Quan and Liu Rus.
So, he controlled the distance and followed all the way from afar. This place is still far from the capital, and the officers and soldiers who are chasing have long been thrown away. The prisoner van traveled to a small town, and the officers and soldiers planned to stop to rest. Lin Pingzhi observed outside the town and did not dare to act rashly. Because the town was full of officers and soldiers at the moment, he could only wait for the sky to get dark and then try to go to the rescue.
Lin Pingzhi thought confidently: "Anyway, he is not worried, there is no way to take these people during the day, but it is different at night, with his current martial arts, he stole all the muskets in their hands in the dark, so there is nothing that can make him jealous." ”
It didn't take long for night to fall quietly, and Lin Pingzhi sneaked into this lively town under the cover of darkness. He had expected the town to be bustling, but to his surprise, it was neatly packed with people. Not only that, but there are also quite a few officers and men patrolling the sentry. Lin Pingzhi cautiously lay on the roof of a house, spying on the movements around him.
Lin Pingzhi found that the town was full of open posts and secret sentinels, and he was obviously not easy to deal with. Although he was not afraid of these officers and soldiers, if a fight broke out, it would be easy to escape. However, the deployment of these officers and soldiers was so tight that they even arranged one person at a distance of ten paces, and if one of them was alarmed by the slightest carelessness, the officers and soldiers of the whole town would be alarmed.
Lin Pingzhi observed the situation below for a moment, and was thinking about how to act, when he suddenly saw a figure holding a slender single knife flashing, and then the entire town flickered and became a mess. It turned out that this swordsman killed two people as soon as he appeared, and Lin Ping secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, wouldn't it be a surprise to go on like this?
In this way, the fact that someone had come to rob the prisoner tonight became known to everyone, and his movements were greatly restricted.
However, it didn't take long for Lin Pingzhi to feel a burst of surprise. A team of about a few dozen people dressed in night clothes rushed up. At the same time, the officers and soldiers who had besieged the previous swordsmen also spotted them and shouted loudly. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the entire town immediately poured out from all directions, and the two teams of men and horses were in a melee.
Lin Ping's heart secretly rejoiced: the more chaotic, the better! Although there are not many of these dozens of people, each of them is a master with unique skills. They took advantage of the special terrain of the town to hold a pass. Although the Qing army was numerous, few were able to attack at the same time. Although those dozens of people were besieged, they still regarded one as ten, without fear, and bravely did not catch them.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Pingzhi quickly reached into the prisoner car and found the prisoner cart where Su Quan and Liu Rushi were being held. As soon as these people saw Lin Pingzhi, they immediately quieted down. Lin Pingzhi changed into the clothes of an officer and soldier, and took advantage of the chaos to leave here.
Lin Pingzhi did not doubt that he had him, and he was engrossed in approaching the prisoner car, but at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and then Su Quan and the others next to the prisoner car immediately discovered Lin Pingzhi. The surrounding officers and soldiers saw that Lin Pingzhi was only one person, so they rushed up. However, Lin Pingzhi was not afraid at all, and swung his sword to meet the enemy. Every swing of the knife takes away a life, invincible.
However, more and more officers and soldiers besieged him, but Lin Pingzhi was not afraid, and as soon as the knife was swung, someone fell to the ground. Soon, a mysterious figure rushed into the battlefield, causing the officers and soldiers who had originally besieged Lin Pingzhi to retreat. This man with a sharp blade swept all the way, opening a bloody path for Lin Pingzhi.
He came to the prisoner car and shouted: "Chief Helmsman Chen, I'm here to save you!" "A knife cut open the cage and rescued Hong Antong and others. After Lin Pingzhi met with Hong Antong and the others, he immediately said: "Sect Master Hong, now is not the time to catch up with the past, I will go to save Mrs. Zun, you resist for a while, and the reinforcements should arrive soon." ”
Hong Antong and the others responded and rushed into the battle formation again. The officers and soldiers in the courtyard and the members of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately mixed up. At this time, Lin Pingzhi took Su Quan and Liu Ru and fled quickly.
Suddenly, the officers and soldiers outside heard the sound of fighting here and rushed to support. For a while, the sound of shouts and guns rang out. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss.
At this time, a man covered in blood rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and one stumbled and fell to the ground, struggling to get up and shouting: "Master Chen, the firearms of the Qing soldiers outside are too powerful, we can't stop it!" ”
After learning the news, Chen Jinnan clenched his fists tightly, and his muscles burst out, obviously angry to the extreme. He commanded loudly: "Brothers, rush out with me and fight to the death!" The crowd immediately responded, drawing their weapons from the dead Qing soldiers and preparing to charge.
Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but sigh. It's no wonder why the heaven and earth in the original book have always been difficult to achieve great things. These enthusiastic young people, as soon as they hear that they want to work hard, are easy to get emotional and no longer think calmly.
Originally, Lin Pingzhi planned to leave directly after saving people, but when he saw these people from the Heaven and Earth Society, he couldn't bear to see this force die today, so he stepped forward and said, "Don't be impatient, I have a way." ”
Hearing him say this, Chen Jinnan stepped forward and clenched his fists and asked, "What can this righteous man do?" ”
Knowing that this was not the time to be polite, Lin Pingzhi pointed to the dead Qing soldiers on the ground and said, "Change into their clothes and go out in the dark." I don't know how many people you can go, it depends on your own creation. ”
Hearing this, these people also nodded hurriedly, and he didn't stay any longer, and rushed out with Liu Rushi and Su Quan. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a group of Qing soldiers rushing over. Lin Pingzhi was afraid that they would see Chen Jinnan and them changing their clothes, so he hurriedly waved a few sword qi and shot away, and heard a muffled snort from there, and several people fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this is a closed space, and the Heaven and Earth Society is in the same courtyard as those people from the Divine Dragon Sect, and these Qing soldiers can't see what is going on inside.
After dealing with these people, Hong Antong and several people also ran out, only to see another group of Qing soldiers with muskets in the distance. After they arrived here, they didn't talk nonsense, the people in the front row squatted and raised their guns, and the people in the back row aimed at the same time, all in one go.
Lin Ping's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly pulled Liu Rushi and Su Quan to hide behind the courtyard wall. The few people who had just changed their clothes and rushed over were also panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry! All lie down! There's a musketeer team coming! ”
"Ahh Everyone was startled and threw themselves on the ground without thinking. Some of those who didn't have time to dodge also reached out and grabbed the dead Qing soldiers on the ground in front of them.
"Bang bang bang..." A series of sounds sounded, and several members of the Heaven and Earth Society who couldn't dodge lay on the ground, dead and couldn't die anymore.
Hong Antong, Chen Jinnan and the others were also scared into a cold sweat, and it was not until this moment that they realized that the power of this musket could not be compared with any hidden weapon in the world.
Lin Pingzhi hurriedly shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come in quickly?" Before the words fell, the Qing soldiers over there attacked again, and Hong Antong couldn't dodge, was shot in the arm, snorted, and stumbled in.
At this time, Chen Jinnan and the others also retreated, everyone look at me, I look at you, and then looked at Lin Pingzhi together.
Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but stroke his forehead, feeling that his head was as big as a fight. Are these people all pig brains? Seeing this, Su Quan couldn't help but laugh. Although Liu Ru was shocked, after seeing Lin Ping, her heart was also a lot calmer, and she knew that this was not the time to catch up.
"You hide first, I'll go and distract them, and then you take the opportunity to escape." Without waiting for the others to speak, Su Quan and Liu Ru held Lin Pingzhi's hand tightly and said in unison, "No." ”
At this time, the swordsman who held the knife before clenched his fists and said, "In Xia Chu Ziling, I don't know who this brother is?" ”
Lin Pingzhi first responded to Su Quan and the others with a reassuring look, and then turned back to Chu Ziling and smiled: "Brother Chu is good, under Lin Pingzhi." Then he turned his head and glanced at these people, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, wait until you hide well, and after I go to lure them away, you can run quickly." Otherwise, after a long time, I am afraid that they will react. ”
Everyone was about to open their mouths to persuade, but Chen Jinnan suddenly spoke: "Brother Lin, thank you for your great kindness. If Chen escapes today, he will definitely visit him in person to thank him for saving his life. After he finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to everyone, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Quan and Liu Ru into his arms, and the figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Not long after he disappeared, Hong Antong suddenly realized that his wife had been snatched away, and chased after him with a shout, and several people from the Shenlong Sect also hurriedly chased after him. This shout and the figure of the Divine Dragon Sect immediately attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers outside, and someone immediately shouted: "Someone has run away, chase after it." ”
The people of heaven and earth secretly rejoiced, and hope was ignited in their hearts. Chen Jinnan made a gesture, and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately hid...
As soon as Lin Pingzhi stabilized his figure, he heard the Qing soldiers' sharp shouting: "Just in front, chase quickly!" He smiled indifferently, picked up Su Quan and Liu Ru and galloped towards the outside of the town, while shouting: "Let go of me, let go of me......"
Because he was dressed in the attire of Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers, when he shouted like this, everyone thought that he was being held hostage. After chasing for a while, seeing that they couldn't catch up, everyone stopped and confronted Hong Antong and others who followed.
Immediately after, a fierce fight was in full swing. Lin Pingzhi heard the sound of scuffle in the rear, and did not hesitate at all, and did his best to perform light skills and drift away into the distance.
