Chapter 46: Burning the Inn
After a while, Yang Zhi heard movement downstairs, and the shopkeeper had completely changed into a different person, with a flexible body, tiptoeing upstairs, without making a sound at all, but he didn't find Yang Zhi hiding in the first room, and still walked over gently; Yang Zhi could only secretly rejoice that the Hua Peng Gong he practiced was similar to the Turtle Breath Gong, and he didn't breathe at all, so he could hide from the other party. Yang Zhi understood that it was the shopkeeper stepping on a stone, so he walked out of the room and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there something wrong?"
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed in the dark, he couldn't hold back his panic, and said on guard: "Guest officer, I'm just coming in to have a look, and the routine inspection is safe at night." ”
"How do you walk without a sound, this is not an ordinary person's behavior?" Yang Zhi was afraid that there would be changes in the future, so he didn't plan to come to the store, so he approached the store while asking; the shopkeeper saw Yang Zhi's intentions, and said while stepping back: "I'm afraid of waking you up, walk carefully, naturally there is no sound." ”
Yang Zhi smiled slightly, he had already pulled out the Dragon Sparrow Knife, the knife was like a meteor, with a reflected arc of light, slashing horizontally, the shopkeeper flashed, his hands swinging his sleeve arrows and shooting out, trying to shoot Yang Zhi first by taking advantage of the short distance. The store chose to break the fish and the net, but unfortunately the action was half a beat slower, and Yang Zhi's figure unexpectedly slipped diagonally in the middle, avoiding the sleeve arrow, and turned into an oblique slash, cutting the store into two sections.
Yang Zhi carefully inspected the store's sleeve arrows and found that the size and shape were exactly the same as Pang Ji's, and immediately understood that the shopkeeper was Pang Ji's disciple or relative, and Pang Ji was probably also a good monk. Yes, the monk arranged for himself to live in the Ping'an Inn, just to attack himself and avenge Pang Ji, but Pang Ji's apprentice was inexperienced, so he could escape.
The last time he killed Pang Ji, Yang Zhi did not take down Pang Ji's sleeve arrow in order to prove Pang Ji's identity; today Yang Zhi saw that there were three short arrows in each arrow box, so he took down the two sleeve arrows and tied them to his arms, and tried to send one to determine the general direction.
Yang Zhi did not rush out of the inn, but hibernated upstairs, window after window to check the situation outside, the street was still quiet, the car shop and the land temple still did not move, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars were dotted around. Yang Zhi knew that the monk had a very high mind, and he would not just lay it out so simply, he would definitely be able to see that Pang Ji's disciple's martial arts were not as good as his own, even if he directly placed a secret weapon to kill himself, it was much more convenient.
Yang Zhi felt that he had missed a certain detail, and quickly scrutinized the matter of killing Pang Ji from the night to tonight, thinking of the Double Dragon Club that Gongsun Sheng said, his heart moved, could it be that Pang Ji was from the other side, and killing himself was just the other party's request, so it was not bad for the monk to sit and watch the success or failure. Yang Zhi didn't dare to leave anything to chance, gathered his mind, found a set of guys' clothes to change into at the inn, tied everything he needed to take away, and quietly waited for the changes around him.
After half an hour, he heard the torches on the street, and the noise continued; Yang Zhi saw that the direction of the enclosure was the Ping'an Inn where he was staying, and immediately wrapped up his things, poured wine and oil everywhere, and unloaded the four wooden windows that were also sprinkled with wine, and just after the officials and local soldiers rushed into the inn, Yang Zhi lit five or six fires at the same time and threw them in different places, and the first and second floors caught fire almost at the same time, and the crowd was in a mess.
Yang Zhi lit the four wooden windows and threw them into the inn, sealed the door of the inn, and took advantage of the chaos to jump into the crowd, squeezing in the crowd and rushing out of the inn through the back door. In addition to Yang Zhi's horse in the yard, there was also a donkey and a mule in the store, Yang Zhi pulled off three reins in a row, the horse, the donkey, and the mule immediately neighed and ran around, Yang Zhi took advantage of the chaos to shoot a person, and the howls of the people around the deceased in the dark night stimulated everyone's emotions, coupled with Yang Zhi's secret agitation, everyone ran to the fence gate without their lives.
Yang Zhi always walked not far from the horse, as soon as he got out of the fence gate, Yang Zhi walked two steps quickly, turned over on the horse, and rushed out of the crowd before everyone could react; Yang Zhi's calculated way to break through passed through the Land Temple, and he was also ready to be intercepted by monks and others, but Yang Zhi did not encounter any obstacles all the way over.
Yang Zhi galloped all the way, and finally ran up a hill in the middle of nowhere, checked that there was no ambush around, and no one caught up, so he relaxed the reins and found a place to get off the horse with a wide view to rest. Although Yang Zhi escaped alive, he had a depressed feeling of hitting his fist in the air, and he didn't know what the good monk wanted, so that Yang Zhi could no longer act according to his expectations. Could it be that the plan to infiltrate the Liao State failed like this?
Yang Zhi was not reconciled, rested behind the hill for half the night, and at dawn the next day, Yang Zhi put on a mask, let go of the horses, and pretended to be Lan Bin and walked back to Beimaji. The bazaar has been under martial law by the army, and no one is allowed to enter, Yang Zhi nodded Since he knew the destination of the good monk, Yang Zhi bypassed the North Maji, bought a donkey and a large rattan box in the front village, and rushed to Baozhou to wait first. Yang Zhi found a Baonan inn closest to the city gate, and asked for a room on the second floor with a window facing south, just to see the convoy coming in and out of the south gate, Yang Zhi bought baked cakes and sauce meat, as well as a jar of wine, and sat in the room with peace of mind and waited for the good monk and others to come to Baozhou after the ban was lifted.
However, Yang Zhi waited for five days, and these people disappeared, and they did not come to Baozhou at all; Yang Zhi learned from the guests who came from the south that the martial law had been lifted in one day and one night, and the journey to Baozhou was only two days.
Yang Zhi looked out the window, and suddenly saw a person he knew, Huang Fu Duan, Huang Fu Duan didn't seem to care about other people's eyes at all, and casually entered a Spring Breeze Restaurant opposite. Yang Zhi was fine anyway, sitting in the restaurant could still overlook the movement of the city gate, so he slowly walked out of the inn and came to the second floor of the Chunfeng Restaurant.
Seeing that Huangfu Duan was still sitting there alone, Yang Zhi chose a seat where he could enjoy the scenery by the railing and hear Huangfu speaking, asked for a pot of wine and three dishes, and poured himself a drink. After half a pillar of incense, someone went upstairs and sat down opposite Huangfu, and said politely: "Mr. Huangfu, I'm sorry, I met a friend from the past on the way, and I delayed a little time." ”
Huangfu said in a deep voice: "Wu Chioni, you are the governor of Baozhou, how can you do such a thing. ”
