XXXVIII. Covert operations
Li Hao glanced at Lin Tikun, and couldn't help but think: "This person is also both good and evil, the last time we met, he was still an enemy, and he was in cahoots with witch doctors like Liu Junma, but this time he joined forces with Barda to fight against the Liangshan Gang." ”
Lin Tikun said with a smile: "Li Hao, you don't have to be suspicious, Liu Junma and I have indeed been fighting for a while, and the reason is only because he gave me a bowl of herbs when I was seriously ill and helpless, and I was grateful for his life-saving grace, so I promised to secretly protect him for three years, that's all." The last time we fought each other, the three-year period had expired, and the next time I saw Liu Junma, although I didn't want to be his enemy, I would never be evil to him. He slammed the iron rod on the ground, and said: "I swear by this iron rod that if I am in the company of traitors again, I, Lin Tikun, will be renamed 'Lin Tie Rod' from now on." ”
Li Hao was stunned, thinking that it was a miracle for this person to swear against the iron rod, but the oath he said was even more absurd, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "When you were born, the original name your parents gave you may be Lin Tieba, but it's hard to say." Such oaths do not count. "But if he is a martial arts expert like him, if he has no choice but to do so, he will never be evil to Liu Junma, and the only remaining barrier against him will be eliminated.
Barda said: "Later, we settled in the woods, fought with the bandits who came down the mountain to rob the road, and also escorted some people in and out of the town. Acting chivalrous and righteous is originally the duty of those of us who practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, the Liangshan Gang came prepared today, set a trap, and deliberately led us to attack, if you didn't happen to come, it is difficult to say whether we can escape with our whole body. ”
Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Our senior brothers have to beware of Wang Liqiang, and they have to fight with Boshan Yuanyou, it is indeed a lack of skills, and now you are willing to share the heavy responsibility for us and take over the mess against the Liangshan Gang, that is really good." I only heard Barda ask: "What are you doing when you come out tonight, didn't your senior brothers and sisters come with you?" Li Hao briefly said about Bu Ziyi, and said: "I am determined to break into the Tiger Hall at night and steal a little worry water to come back to develop an antidote." This time it was a secret mission, and it was not easy for more people to go, so I was on this trip, and only one junior sister was secretly helping me. ”
Wang Xue hid under the tree and eavesdropped on Li Hao. It was already silent in the forest late at night, and Li Hao deliberately wanted Wang Xue to hear it, raising his voice to a high level, and every word he said clearly entered Wang Xue's ears. Wang Xue was slightly startled, and said in her heart: "It turns out that you have already found out that I am following, but you haven't said anything." Hmph, Li Hao, it's really you!" So he walked out with a smile and said hello to Baldarin Tikun.
Lin Tikun said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, tonight the four of us meet, I think it would be better to take advantage of the night to go straight to the Lihu Hall, kill Wang Liqiang in one fell swoop, and rescue Bu Ziyi together? ”
Li Hao said in his heart: "Yesterday, Senior Sister Ma shouted that she wanted to defeat Wang Liqiang, and now you are saying the same, what kind of skill is Wang Liqiang, how can a few of us easily kill him? But he didn't dare to say this, otherwise with Lin Tikun's personality, he would be clamoring to compete with Wang Liqiang, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "That Wang Liqiang is our Habamen's sworn enemy, and we will go to him to settle accounts in the future, but if this matter is borrowed from others, then it won't make people talk nonsense, and shame that there is no one in my door? This is the secret operation of our senior brothers and sisters, if the two of you are interested, you can go with me to take a look, as for joining forces to kill Wang Liqiang Yunyun, I think it is better to discuss it in the long run." When Lin Tikun heard Li Hao say this, he couldn't refute it anymore, and nodded immediately and said yes. Li Hao was still not at ease, and said: "This is a secret operation, the two of you only need to accompany us to Lihu Hall to steal the antidote, and we must not startle the snake." Barda smiled, "Don't worry, don't you believe us." Li Hao and Wang Xue glanced at each other, and both thought, "Why should I believe you?" At the moment, it was inconvenient to say more, and took Barda and Lin Tikun to Lihu Hall quietly.
Li Hao and the others bypassed the woods and walked to the back door of Lihu Hall. Lin Tikun was used to rampage, and when he saw that the small door was locked, he showed his iron rod and wanted to step forward and bang on the door. Li Hao was shocked, raised his hand to separate Lin Tikun's wrist, and shouted softly: "What are you doing, don't forget what I said before, this is ours - a secret operation." Lin Tikun suddenly smiled and said, "Listen to you." ”
Wang Xue said in a low voice: "You wait for me here, I'll go over the wall and go in to see, if there is no one around, I'll knock on the door gently, and you will come in again when you hear the sound." Seeing Li Hao nodding in agreement, he immediately flew up to the wall with light skills, and when he saw that the courtyard was empty, he jumped down. As soon as her feet landed, she felt bad, her feet were unusually soft, not like stepping on the ground, only to hear the sound of "ahh
It turned out that after last night's incident, Wang Li forcibly sent people to patrol the night guard, and there were guards at the front and back halls. If that person patrolled here, Wang Xue would have been able to see it, but who knew that this person was lazy, sitting and leaning against the wall and dozing off, but Wang Xue didn't notice it.
The man shouted loudly: "Come on, someone, someone has broken through the door!" Wang Xue punched out, hitting the root of the man's ear, the man snorted, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound. I only heard the sound of footsteps in the front yard, three or five people rushed when they heard the sound, and several people also ran out of the path behind them, and Wang Tai's feet were also in it.
When Li Hao heard the voice, he knew that Wang Xue's whereabouts had been exposed, and exclaimed: "Not good!" flew into the wall, stunned one person, and stayed beside Wang Xue.
Wang Taijiao sneered: "It's good that you guys came, and it's not in vain for me to stay up all night." With a slap of both palms, several subordinates came up and waved their knives against Wang Xue and Li Hao's necks. Originally, with the martial arts of Haoxue and the two people, even if they were defeated, they would be able to protect themselves, but the path on the back wall was very narrow, and the two were surrounded by more than ten people, and it was inconvenient to fight. Li Hao broke into the door to save Wang Xue, but he was in a hurry and didn't have time to carefully investigate the terrain, but instead threw himself into the net. Wang Taijiao found a rope, tied the two of them, and took them to the backyard forest.
Wang Xue shouted: "Wang Taijiao, you remember today's humiliation, one day I will pay you back tenfold." Wang Taijiao took the dagger from one of his subordinates, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, but ignored Wang Xue. Wang Xue asked, "What are you thinking?" Wang Taijiao snorted and laughed: "I'm thinking, should I cut your hand and tendons first, or stab your eyes first to relieve my anger." Li Hao said coldly: "Don't be rampant, my brothers and sisters won't let you go." As soon as the words fell, he saw Cong Sheng walking over with Wu Tian, who was tied up by five flowers, and put Wu Tian in front of him. Wu Tian shouted: "In my opinion, it's better to cut the tendons and tendons of the hands and feet first, and it hurts to stab the blind eyes." When Li Hao and Wang Xue saw Wu Tian, they were very surprised, and they all thought: "Why are you here?"
That night, when Wu Tian got up at night, he saw Wang Xue go out, and knew that she must be going to Lihu Hall, so he didn't worry about her, so he followed quietly. When Li Hao came, he found Wang Xue who was secretly following, but he didn't see Wu Tian behind her, Wang Xue was bent on following Li Hao, let alone thinking that he was still being followed. Wu Tian saw Wang Xue invade from the back door, so he thought about sneaking up from the front door, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, but the front door guards were much stricter than the back door.
Wu Tian's future tense was briefly explained. Wang Xue sighed in a low voice, "I really appreciate you secretly helping me, Wu Tian." But no one is going to help you right now!"
Wu Tian was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a person outside Lin say loudly: "I'll help you!" Everyone turned around in shock, only to see Lin Tikun standing on the marble platform in the courtyard, gently turning the iron rod. Lin Tikun looked at Wang Xue and said unceremoniously: "What a 'secret operation'!" Wang Xue blushed and didn't answer him.
Lin Tikun broke through the back door when the guards escorted Wang Xue and Li Hao, and the enemies were in trouble with Wang Xue and the others, although he swaggered into the door, no one noticed. However, although Li Hao and Wang Xue were extremely cautious, they were detected by the enemy as soon as they entered the door, which was really a trick.
Wang Taizu saw that Lin Tikun had an extraordinary bearing, and knew that he must be a fierce enemy, so he said coldly: "Who are you?" Lin Tikun said in a leisurely manner: "I am your enemy." This sentence is no different from not saying it, Wang Tai's feet couldn't help but change color, and Sen Ran said: "Since you have the courage to come here, it is also amazing." If we Lihutang had formed a bond with you in the past, you might as well say it clearly now. If you had only come here to live, we would not be afraid of you. Say, who are you?" Lin Tikun slammed the iron rod on the stone, which seemed to have the power of a six-foot iron rod, and smashed a whole piece of marble into several pieces. Wang Tai's feet were in his heart: "I have heard that there is a master of sticks in the rivers and lakes, and I think this person is here." Chongkou said: "You are Lin Tieba!" Lin Tikun frowned and shouted: "My name is Lin Tikun, don't let me hear the word 'Lin Tieba' from now on, otherwise I will break your legs!"
The jungle student roared in a low voice, "I'll make two moves with you, and if you have a kind, you will break my legs first." Lin Tikun put away his anger and said, "Nameless rat, if there is a kind, you can come and try it." The jungle student roared angrily, opened his arms, and threw himself at Lin Tikun. When he was still a few feet away from Lin Tikun, he suddenly snorted, and a person was thrown into the gate, and he slammed into the chest of the jungle student. Cong Cong Sheng was stunned and hurriedly returned the move, slapped out his palms, and collided with the man's fists. The man's strength was extremely ferocious, and with the momentum of the rush, his strength increased greatly, and the jungle gave birth to a pain in his arms, and he was shocked back a few steps. When the man landed, he stood firmly. Everyone looked at it intently, and saw that the man was short, and the top of his head was barely level with Cong Sheng's chest, but his body was very thick, and his shoulders were as wide as Cong Sheng.
Cong Sheng rubbed his wrists vigorously and said viciously: "If you are a hero, don't do such shameless things as sneak attacks from behind." The man said, "I am not a hero, my name is Barda." ”
Wang Tai stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out that the former second gang leader of the Liangshan Gang arrived, and it really deserved its reputation when I saw it today." Barda said gloomily: "I am no longer the second gang leader, so there is no need to mention this matter again." Wang Taijiao smiled: "That's good, I also had a traitor called a scholar in Lihu Hall, and was later beaten to death by the hall master several times, don't follow in the footsteps of that idiot." ”
The poison of the Liangshan Gang in Barda's body had been expelled at this time, but he had been poisoned for too long, and his temperament became very strange with the invasion of the poisonous water. Wang Taijiao didn't expect him to make a sudden move, so he hurriedly stepped back in a panic. Finally, he reacted quickly and was not caught by Barda, otherwise with Barda's vicious force, he would have been pinched off his shoulder. Barda misses the catch and punches follow. Wang Tai kicked his right leg horizontally, opened his wrist, and kicked out with his left leg, hitting Barda in the lower abdomen. Barda was strong and strong, and his luck resisted, and he fought with Wang Tai's feet.
Remembering the revenge of Barda's sneak attack, the jungle student removed the giant axe behind him and slashed at Barda's left arm, and a black shadow flashed in the ground, and an iron rod flew out from the side, striking at the axe, throwing the axe off in the direction where it fell. Cong Cong was startled, only to see Lin Tikun stepping on his right side, with anger on his face, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that the sneak attack from behind is not the behavior of a hero?" The giant axe swung out and slashed at the iron rod in Lin Tikun's hand. Lin Tikun crossed the iron rod and slashed his axe, with a bang, the axe and the stick struck, and the iron rod shook and buzzed, Lin Tikun couldn't hold it, and almost got rid of it, and couldn't help but be horrified. The jungle student failed to cut the iron rod in two with one move, and he was also shocked in his heart: "This iron rod boy really has some means." And the great axe struck out, and went to sharpen his iron rod. Lin Tikun didn't dare to attack in Tuoda, crossed the iron rod to lure the axe closer, suddenly returned his elbow and shoulder, and kicked at the knee of Cong Sheng's right leg.
Wang Tai kicked his foot at Barda's left temple, and he was sure to back down. Unexpectedly, Barda was strong and fearless, raised his left hand and gently reached out to resist it, and his right arm followed out, grabbed the opponent's ankle, and knocked Wang Tai's foot to the ground.
Wang Tai was embarrassed when he landed on his feet, although he only lost one move, but he really couldn't get off the stage in front of his subordinates, so he rolled back on the spot, turned his head and shouted to his subordinates: "Are you all dead, didn't you see the enemy break through the door?" Although strong, Barda was flesh and blood after all, and he threw a punch to knock out an opponent, and his left arm was accidentally stabbed by a dagger, and the blade went straight into three inches. Barda didn't even frown, let the dagger remain on his arm, and continued to punch him. When others saw him so fierce, they were all scared in their hearts.
Lin Tikun danced the iron rod very fast, and struck the key points around the jungle life repeatedly, and every time he hit one place, the direction would change halfway. The jungle student saw the shadow of the stick flying in front of him, but he didn't know where to block it, so he was dizzy and moved backwards. Lin Tikun suddenly flashed to Barda's side, and with a flick of the iron rod, he knocked out two daggers, one of which had not yet landed, and had already been struck by the stick at the handle. The dagger flew towards Li Hao and stuck it in the trunk of the tree beside him. Li Hao and Wang Xue immediately understood, and hurriedly clinged to the trunk of the tree to cut the body and tie it. Wang Tai roared angrily and raised his leg to kick Li Hao. Wu Tian's hands were tied, his legs were still flexible, and he immediately jumped over and hit the left rib of Wang Tai's foot, and the two fell to the ground together. After a moment's delay, Li Hao and Wang Xue had already cut the string on their bodies. Li Hao looked at the situation at this time, he couldn't steal the water of forgetting worries tonight, grabbed Wu Tian, and shouted at Barda: "Let's go!"
Barda was besieged by several people, and although he heard Li Hao's shouts, he couldn't quit. Wang Xue jumped into Barda's side, punched out with her left fist, knocked one of the enemies unconscious, grabbed Barda by the collar at the back of the neck with her right hand, pulled him out of the battle group, and fled out the door. Li Hao used his hands together, broke the thin rope tied to Wu Tian's body, and worked with Lin Tikun as the queen of Wang Xue and others.
Wang Taijiao saw the enemy fleeing, and hurriedly chased after Cong Shengsheng and others, but Cong Cong Sheng's light skills were not good, and the light skills of other subordinates were even more ordinary, and he chased out less than two miles, and only Wang Taijiao was left. Wang Taijiao thought to himself that he was chasing the enemy alone, if he couldn't catch up, he would just be fine, if he caught up, wouldn't he be poisoned?
Seeing that the enemy was no longer chasing, Wang Xue, Wu Tian and others gradually slowed down and rested in the forest. Li Hao found a few herbs, mashed them and applied them to the wound on Barda's arm, and when he saw that everyone's expressions were awkward, he comforted: "Although this operation was unsuccessful, it is indeed not easy for us to get out of danger, and there is really no need to be lost." ”
Wu Tian sighed: "I have good news and bad news here. Wang Xue said: "Tell me good news." Wu Tian took out a small porcelain bottle from the hem of his trousers and said, "Liu Junma's pharmacy is at the front door, I sneaked into the room and got it." I want to go to the backyard to find you, but I don't want to bump into the jungle as soon as I go out. Wang Xue took the porcelain vase, only to see a small note pasted on it, on which the words "forget the worry water" were written in red and black, and she was overjoyed and handed over the porcelain vase to Li Hao. Wu Tian said: "There are a lot of such porcelain bottles in the pharmacy, but I was in a hurry and it was inconvenient to carry, so I only took two bottles. The other bottle was found by the jungle students, and now only this one bottle is left. Li Hao said with a smile: "One bottle is good, enough for me to develop an antidote to save Bu Ziyi! We sneaked into Lihu Hall tonight and got the water of forgetting worries, but fortunately Wang Liqiang is not here, otherwise we will be miserable." ”
Wu Tian sighed lightly again and said, "This is bad news. Li Hao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Tian said: "Actually, there is also Senior Sister Ma who came with me. As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised. Li Hao thought to himself: "I just said that I came quietly alone, but I didn't know that I was followed by three people." He looked at Wang Xue coldly, and said in his heart: "If it weren't for your stupid girl secretly following me, and being discovered by Wu Tian and secretly following me, tonight's matter might be very easy." He thought that Wang Xue didn't see him, but Wang Xue suddenly turned her head and smiled apologetically at him. Li Hao's face turned red and he lowered his head. Wu Tian said again: "After we sneaked into the Lihu Hall, we walked separately, and then I was discovered by the jungle students and besieged by the enemy, Senior Sister Ma did not reveal her whereabouts, but in order to help me get out of trouble, she took the initiative to stand up and lure Wang Liqiang and Wang Lijie away." ”
Wang Xue hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, what about Senior Sister Ma?" Wu Tian lowered his head and said in a low voice: "With Wang Liqiang's light skills, he will be able to capture her back, he and Senior Sister Ma have always been at odds, Senior Sister Ma was taken captive by him, but there is less luck." He turned his head to Li Hao and said, "We have to go back to save Senior Sister Ma." ”
Li Hao looked at the direction of Lihu Hall and groaned for a while, and said slowly: "We are finally going to do this thing that we have always wanted to do but dare not try lightly - to fight Wang Liqiang." ”
When Wang Xue and Wu Tian heard that they were going to fight with Wang Liqiang, there was a chill in their hearts, but they thought that Ma Yanmei couldn't help it, and they had to go back knowing that it was dangerous. Lin Tikun knew that Wang Liqiang would be very difficult to fight, but he was crazy about martial arts, and the more fierce the opponent, the more brutal he was, so he should lead the way back first.
Wang Liqiang carried Ma Yanmei back to Lihu Hall, Wang Taijiao hurriedly greeted him, and told Li Hao, Wang Xue and others about the sneak attack, he didn't dare to say that Wang Xue and others gained and lost, only said that he used force to repel the people of Habamen. Wang Liqiang said "um", and said lightly: "You go to Bu Ziyi's side to guard, and don't let her come into contact with the people of Habamen until she wakes up." Wang Lijie and Wang Tai bowed down and agreed, and took everyone to Bu Ziyi's side room.
Ma Yanmei was not bound on her body, but one hand was grabbed by Wang Liqiang, and she couldn't get out, thinking: "Wang Liqiang has always hated me, and when I got into his hands, I didn't know how miserable it would be to be rectified by him." I need to find a way to escape. While Wang Liqiang was speaking, he suddenly broke free, jumped backwards, grabbed a wooden stake, and put it across his chest to protect himself. Seeing Ma Yanmei running away, Cong Sheng grabbed a step to capture her, Wang Liqiang waved his hand lightly, stopped in front of Cong Sheng, and signaled him to retreat.
Wang Liqiang said coldly to Ma Yanmei: "You have always disobeyed me in the past, saying that my skills are not as good as Liu Yuexiao, now I will give you a cheap, if you can take fifteen moves under me, I will let you go, and I will not embarrass you tonight." ”
