Chapter 9: A Blow from the Fire!
Li Hu has been a thief and a businessman in the Lin family for more than ten years, and he naturally knows everything about the business, so he immediately said to Lin Feng:
"The young master is not bad at all, because the merchants who come and go are willing to come to Quzhen to rest, so within a radius of hundreds of miles, only here is the most prosperous, and the rest of the market towns are lifeless and decaying. I have even heard that the Feng family of Quzhen is even more domineering on weekdays, and it is said that when Quzhen was first established, they even sent people to pretend to be thieves to loot the rest of the town! ”
Lin Fengjin nodded, thoughtful, but stopped talking.
Although the people in the caravan were a little frightened during the night, they were all a little excited when they heard that they had stopped in Quzhen after walking only forty miles. Therefore, just after noon, I arrived outside Quzhen, and someone had already ordered a meal at the inn. After the meal, many people in the caravan dispersed, and the target was either a gambling house or a brothel.
Wang Jia Saburo also came to take the lead at this time, inviting the accompanying cadres to eat flowers and wine and play tricks, Lin Fengjin also readily agreed, after a cadre came out, he saw the Feng family faction patrolling the town, every five people in a team, not all of the patrol are tall men with thick shoulders and round waists, but they are also serious faces, very calm, and their actions are very lawful. When Lin Feng saw it, he knew that this Feng family was indeed a person who knew the soldiers and was presiding over the corresponding matters.
After entering the local brothel, Lin Fengjin felt a little surprised, he originally thought that a town could be so good to enjoy, but after entering the door, he only looked at the furnishings, and felt that the decorations were also quite clean and rich.
After ordering a private room and sitting down, although the girls were still dressing up and didn't come, just a few snacks and appetizing snacks were very thoughtful. To put it mildly, even the best brothel in a major town like Hecang may not be able to catch up with the random one in this town!
After discovering this, Lin Fengjin's eyes flashed, and he beckoned a companion to say a few words to him, and the companion immediately followed the order and passed on the words. Wang Sanlang had made a deal with Lin Fengjin before, so he asked him to be the east in this name, and Lin Fengjin smiled and readily agreed.
A cadre of people naturally drank and prostituted and played happily in the dark, and even two people who liked to play with each other seemed to have found their true love, and called the bustard to redeem his brother, but at this time, he hurriedly drove a person over from outside.
This person is Wang Jiazaburo's confidant, but his expression is panicked, the back of the robe is even wet, and he gasps and whispers to Wang Sanlang, but Wang Sanlang doesn't seem to have any city government, and immediately pushed away the pouting powder in his arms and stood up, and said in a lost voice:
"What! Three more people died!?"
The death of these three people is still very miserable, and it is extremely strange, just like the people who died mysteriously before, they died of cannibalism.
They died at the scene of the guard cart, also in the open air. One person was strangled to death, but this person's finger was deeply inserted into the socket of the other party's right eye, and the other person was bitten madly by his companion on the throat!
Lin Fengjin knew it, but even if it was the second time he saw the other party use the same means to kill people, even if he used the power of the lung god again, he still had no clue. As a result, the morale of the entire caravan was immediately demoralized.
These reckless men with knives and bloody heads pay attention to breaking their arms without blinking, and their heads have a big scar on their heads, but they are also doubly superstitious, don't you see that thousands of years later, the old boy will also worship Guan Erye? If this continues, I am afraid that in another three or two days, most of the people will be gone.
However, at this time, although Lin Fengjin looked frightened in front of outsiders, he looked confident in front of his own people behind his back, and called Lin De before going to bed, drank two taels of peanuts and fried shrimp, and then blew the lamp to rest.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then there was a lot of noise, and a series of shouts were all saying "the water is gone".
Lin Fengjin was sleeping in his clothes at this time, and he seemed to be prepared, and he saw that the window paper in the east window was reflected red, and it looked like the fire was extremely fierce. However, Lin Fengjin did not go to the place where the fire broke out at this time, but took Li Hu and Lin De, who had been waiting outside, and strode straight to the fine house of the inn next to them----- Wang Sanlang and Chen Dabiao lived there------- and naturally there were more than a dozen loyal subordinates next to them to surround them in the center.
As soon as the cadres walked to a place more than ten feet away from the Jingshe, Lin De suddenly said coldly:
"Be careful, there seems to be something in the sky!"
Lin Fengjin listened carefully, and immediately heard the sound of "fluffy" in the air in the noise, as if the sails on the ship were full of wind and were blowing. His mind was quick, and he immediately thought that the people he couldn't figure out the cause of death had something in common, so they all died in the open space!
"Go into the house at once, and go into a sheltered place!"
A group of people immediately rushed to the side, and some even broke through the window and fled in, causing the residents inside to scream in an uproar, thinking that they had encountered robbers. Only Linde was very calm, listened to it sideways for a long time, and suddenly bent his bow and arrows!
Then I heard a loud sound of the bowstring "boom", and then a firelight pierced the sky, and the trajectory was still in people's sight, but the large flames in the air were like fireworks, bursting into flames, forming a large fireball in the air, and a large number of embers fell down one after another.
This is exactly one of the three talisman arrows that Lin Fengjin and the others had obtained from the Zhongtang people before, and the destructive power of the rocket is strong!
After being shot out by Linde's arrow, it hit the target accurately and made it burn, which can already be clearly seen by the firelight, and can be seen in the middle of the air in the big fireball, which has always been a huge bat-like thing, although the fire on the body is blazing, but it keeps fluttering in the air, especially refusing to fall, obviously the vitality of the burning thing is also very tenacious.
And although the spell attached to the talisman arrow is useless to the officials, the battle array barracks are rushed by the blood and qi, and the effect is also very little. However, there is also a quiet circulation in the market, as long as the bid is high enough, then it can also be bought, so after Linde uses it here, he is not afraid of being involved in the affairs outside Hecang City by the Zhongtang people.
As the flames stubbornly scorched, the thing in mid-air was clearly not trying to escape, and it thrashed as hard as it could, so it descended rather slowly, flying out crookedly.
At this time, the flames were mainly concentrated on its two "wings", and the flames on its body surface and torso had been extinguished, especially several palm-sized red carbonized spots shining on the body surface, which showed that it was also wooden. By the light of the fire, the body of the thing was somewhat as fat and stubby as that of a bat, and the surface was clearly textured with multiple parts combined.
Obviously, it's also a trap beast, and it's the kind that can fly through the air. Unfortunately, the wings are a great weakness for all birds, and because of the heavy body, the beast must fly as lightly as possible, so the wings must be made light, thin, strong and large!
Therefore, under such harsh conditions, there are naturally only a handful of materials that can be used to make the wings of flying trap beasts. However, these few materials have one thing in common, that is, they are very flammable. One arrow from the rocket is the right one!
Although Lin Fengjin had no way to find any clues from those who died of madness, or even from the vicinity. However, in a way, not being able to find a clue is actually a clue!
If the elimination method is adopted, no clues of the enemy can be found on the ground, no clues of the enemy can be found underground, and the scene is not close to rivers and lakes, so the only possibility is that the enemy is from the air! Therefore, Lin Fengjin had been prepared for the fact that the enemy might appear in the air, and of course he also warned his subordinates.
A cadre didn't chase the monster in the air that flew crookedly, and continued to walk into the house, at this time, a series of screams and roars also came from the house, followed by a loud "bang", and a large black shadow aimed at Lin Fengjin and crashed over!
Li Hu took half a step forward calmly, already blocking Lin Fengjin's front. With a slight pry of his thumb, the sharp blade and the cold and frustrating sound of the scabbard sounded gently, cutting into the person's eardrum.
Immediately after that, the light flashed, and Li Hu had already stood on a nonchalant stand, swinging his knife and slashing at the black shadow that was rushing in. However, when the knife was halfway through, he realized that something was wrong, his wrist turned slightly, and he had already slapped the black shadow on the body with the knife surface, and the long knife drew half a circle back, and gently and skillfully unloaded the black shadow's attack, and put it flat on the ground.
Through the flickering light of the fire, it could be seen that the black shadow was a capable guard beside Wang Saburo, who was still holding a dagger in his hand, and his face still maintained a mixture of horror and anger.
The guard's fatal wound was in the chest, it is difficult to describe what kind of weapon caused it, a blow shattered his sternum, even the ribs were broken, and it caused a large blood hole at the mouth of the bowl, the blood was almost sprayed outward, and the internal organs inside were a mess, and almost even the internal organs were penetrated!
