Chapter 54: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High

Li Qing's heart moved, and he noticed a little abnormality, and immediately listened attentively.

The rustling sound was very audible, mixed with the sound of the wind, but he still heard something unusual.

The voice...... It's like the sound of shoes rubbing against mud bricks when someone climbs the courtyard wall.

Li Qing's vigilance rose and he immediately looked at the wall.

The house is not big, he sits at the door, only a dozen meters away from the courtyard wall, but it is too dark, he can barely reach out his fingers, and he can't tell if there is a person lying on the courtyard wall.

However, Li Qing didn't move, he was dressed in an ink robe, blending in with the night, as long as he didn't move, the other party wouldn't be able to find him.

Li Qing mobilized the true qi in his body, and his spirit climbed to the best state, staring at the courtyard wall without blinking.

Sure enough, there are people!

His heart froze, and although it was very vague, he could see the blurred black shadow on the wall, and there was a slight movement.

Li Qing was so high-profile, it was not that he didn't think that someone would kill him, but he didn't expect that the other party would use such a means.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the assassination of the imperial court officials is simply a bold man.

He still didn't move, and he couldn't tell how many people there were, whether the courtyard was surrounded, or whether there were hot weapons.

Although Da Ming's firearms are far inferior to those of later generations, this black light is blind, and the other party secretly pokes and pokes at him a few shots, which can also kill him.

At the moment of life and death, Li Qing's adrenaline soared, and his five senses became more acute.

About a quarter of an hour later, the figures on the courtyard wall moved, and they moved very lightly, one by one, they climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Under the effect of true qi and adrenaline, Li Qing's eyesight became sharper and sharper, and he could faintly see the clothes of these people.

They were all dressed in night clothes, covered with black cloth, covered with black scarves, and only an inch wide of their faces were exposed, revealing their eyes.

After the group turned into the small courtyard, they did not step forward immediately, but observed for a while before moving their footsteps slowly approaching.

One step at a time, one step at a time......

The pace is light and the movements are uniform.

Closer, closer again, although their movements were very light and slow, they were only a dozen meters away in total, and they arrived in front of Li Qing in a short time.

At this time, they also discovered the abnormality, but before they could make trouble, Li Qing took the lead in breaking out.

"Bang ——!"

Too fast, too suddenly.

As soon as the man in black noticed that there was a person sitting at the door, the next moment, Li Qing made a move, and they didn't have time to react at all.

A man at the front bore the brunt of the attack, only to feel that his body seemed to be hit hard by a big bull, and before he could react, the whole person swayed high and flew quickly to the rear.

"Click... Poof......"

Li Qing didn't spare the slightest kick, and went directly to his life.

The black-clothed man was in mid-air, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his entire chest collapsed into it, his body flew out upside down, hit five or six people, fell to the ground and convulsed a few times, and then there was no movement.

Li Qing hit it successfully, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and smashed it out with another punch.

"Smack-"

A powerful punch hit the heart of the man in black, the man in black stiffened, his heart was shattered, and the night walker behind him burst out of a big hole.

It's a long story, but it's only a gap between the electric and the flint.

After two consecutive blows, Li Qing did not attack again, but his body flashed, away from the position just now, afraid that someone would secretly release a cold gun.

The man in black was shocked and angry, thinking that an assassination was inevitable, but before he could kill him, he broke the two of them first, and immediately took out a dagger and pounced.

Li Qing immediately retreated, and in the chaos, he couldn't see the opponent's small movements clearly, he could only open and close.

At the same time, the position is constantly changed to prevent someone from cooling the gun.

The two sides did not say a word, and the invitation demanded the other's life.

A dagger stabbed obliquely into the killing general, Li Qing turned sideways slightly, reached out with his left hand and clasped the man's wrist, forcefully took it, and then suddenly raised his knee and hit the man's chin.

"Click......"

The mandible was shattered, the upper and lower teeth were violently hit, and the man's tongue was bitten off in small parts, and the extreme pain made him unbearable anymore.

"Ahh......h

The screams pierced the silent night sky, and the next moment, he was snatched by Li Qing from the dagger and sealed his throat with a knife.

The group came up again, and the knife was deadly.

Li Qing plucked onions on dry land, crossed the encirclement, threw the dagger in his hand with his backhand, and plunged it directly into the head of a person.

In just a dozen seconds, Li Qing solved the four people one after another.

Strictly speaking, this was Li Qing's first time killing someone, but he didn't have time to experience the feeling of killing at all, and immediately swept to the side after he succeeded.

picked up the bamboo pole for drying clothes and swept away thousands of troops with one blow.

"Crackling ......"

He used too much force, and the bamboo pole was directly split and broken into several pieces, but the effect was also very significant, hitting a group with one pole.

Li Qing changed his position again, but there was still no one in the shadows.

He gradually believed that it was these people in front of him who assassinated him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was relaxing, a big man in black suddenly shouted: "Go die!" ”

"Whoosh ......"

The sound of the crossbow breaking through the air struck, Li Qing didn't dare to be careless, and immediately jumped up to dodge, one of the arrows slashed through his face, and narrowly dodged over.

"Whoosh ......"

As soon as his foot touched the ground, another series of sounds broke through the air.

Li Qing violently lifted his true qi and jumped up again, but this time he was not as lucky as last time, one arrow went directly through his arm, and the other through his thigh.

The distance between the two sides was too close, and the rate of fire of the crossbow was a volley, and he couldn't completely avoid it.

Li Qing's body retreated violently, and he pulled away again, and at the same time, a series of arrows shot at him, and he turned over with a harrier and pounced to the side, all the arrows were shot at the position he was just now.

The arrow plunged into the ground, and its tail trembled slightly, making a clanging sound, and the power was evident.

There was such a big movement in the yard, and the girls naturally startled the sleeping women.

"Someone wants to assassinate the first ......" Lianxiang's little face was snow-white, and her voice trembled.

Wan Ling covered her mouth with her little hand and said lightly, "Be quiet, don't distract Mr. ”

Redsleeves got up and tried to get some wax, but was stopped by Wanling.

Lianxiang hurriedly said, "Are we just going to watch?" ”

"The courtyard is full of gangsters, once we go out, let's not talk about our lives, if we are held hostage and used to blackmail Mr., it will be a disservice." Although Wan Ling was also very scared, she was relatively calm.

"What then?" Red Sleeve Road.

Wanling opened her mouth, unable to think of a good solution for a while.

"I'm going to deliver a weapon to my husband." Lian Xiang was an anxious person, and rushed out of the room directly, and the two girls couldn't pull it even if they wanted to.

Lian Xiang ran to Li Qing's house, touched the embroidered spring knife and ran out, but was stopped by Wanling and Red Sleeves who rushed over.

The black light is blinding, and you can't tell who is who, how to send it?

At this time, the man in black noticed the noise in the room, and immediately two people rushed to the room.

Li Qing snorted lightly, jumped up from the ground and jumped over the two, and as soon as he landed, he reflexively kicked the two of them back.

His body was injured, his physical strength and true qi were seriously consumed, and he himself was shocked back a few steps by the force of the shock, and fell into the guest hall with his butt.

"Ah......h

A woman's characteristic high-decibel scream rang out.

"Don't make a noise, give me the knife."

"Sir?" Lian Xiang hurriedly handed over the embroidered spring knife, "Sir, are you okay?" ”

Li Qing didn't have time to take care of her, so he took the embroidered spring knife and rushed out.

"Qiang Chang~"

With the knife in hand, his confidence has also strengthened a lot, and by now, he has basically determined that he will assassinate these people, although he was injured, his heart gradually calmed down.

More than half of the men in black were killed, but they were so annoyed by the tragic death of their companions that there were only six people left, but they still refused to retreat.

Li Qing also killed the fire, the knife technique opened and closed, and it was injured when it was rubbed, and it was crippled when it was touched.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qing beheaded four more people, but he was also crumbling, not to mention the serious physical exertion, under the vigorous activity, the wound kept bleeding.

What's worse is that the arrow was actually poisoned, and his left arm and right leg were numb, and they were still spreading.

"Huhuhu......"

Li Qing gasped heavily, beads of sweat continued to drip down, and his face was even paler.

"Assassinating the imperial court officials, but it is a big crime to punish the nine clans, you dare too?" Li Qing said coldly, "Who instructed you?" ”

"Don't try to stall." A man in black stabbed with a dagger, "Kill so many of our brothers, you must die today." ”

"Poof......

The embroidered spring knife came out of his hand, stabbing from the front chest into the back, and the man in black was close to Li Qing, but he couldn't make the next move, his body shook, and he fell to the ground and kept pumping.

The remaining man in black turned around and ran, and fourteen of the fifteen people died, although Li Qing looked exhausted, he didn't dare to gamble anymore.

"Want to run?"

Li Qing sneered, snatched the dagger of the man in black in front of him, and threw out a small Li flying knife, accurately stabbing the back of the man's head.

"Plop~"

The man in black fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving.

Li Qing gasped heavily, "Light, light the lamp!" ”

After a while, the red sleeves were holding candles, and the three girls walked quickly, and when they saw him covered in blood and his face pale, they cried all at once.

"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?" Li Qing took a breath, "What time is it now?" ”

Wan Ling sniffed, "Probably ugly." ”

Li Qing nodded, "There is still an hour and a half to leave the palace gate, Wanling, you go to my house to get my tooth tag and go to ......"

sighed a sigh of relief, "Go to the Zhenfu Division, tell the official on duty, find Liu Qiang and Liu Qianhu, tell Liu Qiang, let him go to the palace gate to guard,

As soon as the palace door opened, he immediately entered the palace and said that I was dying.

Let the emperor send the imperial doctor as soon as possible...... Quick, go. ”

"Okay, sir, hold on, and the servant will go."

Wan Ling wiped away her tears, went back to the room and took the soothing tooth card, and hurried out the door.
