Chapter 9, The Attack of the Night

The melodious sound of bangzi came from the street, the moon hid in the clouds, and the city of Linzhou rarely escaped from the hustle and bustle of the day, and slept peacefully.

A melancholy light was cast through the door of a tavern on the street, and a few drunks staggered out of the door and walked down the long street.

After a while, a man with a high hat and the appearance of a shopkeeper chased him out, but when he saw the drunks disappearing without a trace, he scolded, "A group of bastards, hiding in that rat hole, haven't paid yet!"

In a certain direction, the shopkeeper stood for a long time, and then returned to the house.

The empty tables and chairs in the hall were all around, indicating that the tavern was about to be proofed, and the man was wiping the table with a rag, and the shopkeeper's anger was still gone, and he glared at the man, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were attracted by the two people in the corner.

The two of them wore blue robes, bamboo hats rested on the corners of the table, and swords rested against the legs of the table. One of them, a handsome, fair-skinned little student, wore a pair of torn straw sandals, from which his toes protruded, but he did not think so, and stuck out from under the table harmlessly.

The shopkeeper had just made a pit man business for eating white rice, and the whole person became suspicious, he didn't think that these two people looked like they were rich, so he turned around and went back to the counter, holding his chin with both hands, staring at the two intently, but they didn't know it.

"Senior Brother Tian. Shaojie took a sip of his glass, and he continued, "How long are we going to wait here?"

"About two days, waiting for news from the master. Tian Shouyi held the wine glass, his demeanor was uncertain, relatively speaking, he preferred the roast chicken in the store, so he put down the wine glass, tore off a chicken leg, and ate it.

"And then?" Shaojie also tore a chicken leg, he looked like a senior brother, chewing heavily, "Where are we going?"

"You always have so many questions. Tian Shouyi threw the bones on the table, and he said, "You should be worried that you will get stuck in the throat with chicken bones." ”

cough cough, Shaojie coughed a few times, he was really stuck in his throat by the chicken bones, he hurriedly ate a piece of steamed buns, and when he swallowed the chicken bones, he said easily, "Senior brother, you are really clever." Then, he changed his words and said, "But, it's really not that the junior brother is a problem. This incident is not trivial, the twelve famous sects on the rivers and lakes are all involved, and it is not easy for us to earn the first prize. ”

"It's all about engagement. Tian Shouyi smiled, "The master asked the two of us to go down the mountain, just to save face, so as not to gossip behind the backs of the other eleven sects, saying that we don't have a big sect in this matter." ”

"The Great Gate Sect?" Shaojie sneered, and he said to himself, "The one who said that we are the Great Gate Sect?"

Tian Shouyi snorted, "At least, we still have the signboard of Tianmen Mountain hanging now, don't look down on yourself so much." ”

"That's right. Shaojie said.

"Surprised, what's wrong?"

"No matter what, this is a good opportunity to revive the lintel, we have to work harder, show them, above the gate of heaven, Huajian is still the same!"

Tian Shouyi looked at Shaojie with a longing look on his face embarrassedly, it was difficult to pour a basin of cold water, he said, "Above the gate of heaven, Huajian is still there, it depends on you." ”

"No, no, no!" Shaojie shook his arms, "Senior Brother is the heir to the future head of the family." ”

"Well, it's time for me to be the head of my dreams. After speaking, Tian Shouyi waved his hand at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what, is there a guest room?"

At this moment, the shopkeeper had changed his posture and looked through the accounts.

Since the tragedy of the Lu family's extermination, the people of Linzhou City have been panicked, and during this time, most of the people who drank at night were less, and their income was not as good as before. In particular, the new owner of the Lu family invited a banquet to the heroes, and dozens of jars of wine were served on credit here, and they couldn't return it, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but be sad.

"What do you have to say, officer?" said the man who ran over to serve, "the shopkeeper is busy sorting out the accounts. ”

"Oh. Tian Shouyi lowered his head and flipped through his underwear, took out a few pieces of broken silver, and asked, "Do you have a first-class guest room in the hotel?"

"Ah" The guy scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate, the upper room is full." ”

"Medium?" asked Shaojie.

"Nothing medium. The guy puffed up his chest and said, "We're all in the best rooms." ”

Shaojie put away his hat and sword in frustration, and said, "Senior brother, there's no way, we have to go to the next one." ”

"Walk slowly. The man took the money, waved goodbye, and when they were gone, closed the door, and returned to the hall, waiting for a cold face.

The shopkeeper was holding the accounts, looking at the guy with displeasure, he looked ignorant, and sent the silver, "The shopkeeper, what's the matter? This is the money of those two guest officers!"

"Why don't you have a superior room?" said the shopkeeper.

"What did you say?" the guy was slightly stunned, he asked, "Isn't the guest room full?" After speaking, he glanced upstairs, the tavern has a total of twenty rooms, and it has been filled with martial arts people for almost two days, he is the only guy in the store, how can it not be clear about serving these gangsters before and after the saddle?

"Can't I pour my room down to them?" The opportunity must not be lost, and the shopkeeper just scolded, "Pig brain, do you have money to make?"

Tian Shouyi and Feng Shaojie led the horse and walked on the street, although Linzhou is big, they are not familiar with it, so it is not easy to find an inn, even if they find it, the inn is also full, they have to walk the streets and alleys, and keep looking for it.

"Linzhou City, when did so many outsiders come?" Feng Shaojie asked as he walked, his depressed mood was written on his face at the moment, and it happened that the moon tonight was like a scimitar, not bright enough, and Tian Shouyi couldn't see his annoyance.

"I can't say that they all came for that, but it's pretty much the same. Tian Shouyi said.

"Twelve sects, how can there be so many people?"

"Think beautifully. Tian Shouyi yawned, "You have a lot of questions, it's good to use your brain, you are like this, on Tianmen Mountain, Hua Jian may not be able to continue." ”

Feng Shaojie pouted, "I didn't use my brain, the only thing I thought of was that the incident was exposed." ”

"That's right!" Tian Shouyi yawned again, he said, "The whole river and lake seem to be calm, but in fact, An Bo is surging, this is like, my current sleepiness has been a long time, and it is rare to find an inn and go down, so sooner or later it will erupt." ”

"The parable of God. Feng Shaojie sighed secretly, "Senior Brother Tian, worthy of Senior Brother Tian, is so philosophical. With that, he turned his head into an alley, and suddenly stopped, for he heard some squirming sounds, as if dozens of people were tiptoeing around the alley.

Tian Shouyi touched the scabbard and said, "Don't get nervous. Then he drew his sword.

Feng Shaojie was very curious, he held his sword, his eyes stared at the dark alley without blinking, he said, "Linzhou City, it's really lively." ”

Lu Qianyu lay on the bed, his eyes were wide open, and with the help of a faint ray of moonlight, he saw the breeze caressing the bed veil, spiders building webs in the corners of the shed, and the shadows of several insects printed on the window paper.

There is no doubt that he has insomnia. He had a dream, Xiao Lou stood in front of the boudoir, beckoned to him with a smile, he walked over, at this moment, a knife was inserted into Xiao Lou's heart from behind, she fell in a pool of blood, Lu Qianyu was scared awake, he didn't feel a cold sweat, so he was very thirsty, turned over and got out of bed to find water, whatever, he also wanted to dispose of the spider in the corner of the shed.

However, at this time, the window lattice made a slight sound, and the black shadow of a monkey squatted on the window sill, and when he found that it was a monkey without a tail, Lu Qianyu was frightened and pulled out his sword.

"Qianyu, don't be nervous!" the monkey jumped out of the window into the room, in a wave-like tone, and said, "Lonely Han put it away." ”

"Pretending to be a ghost, what's wrong?" Lu Qianyu put down his sword and said angrily, "If you don't leave the door, your bad habits are hard to change." I'm afraid that my housekeeping skills will be rusty?"

For Lu Qianyu's ridicule, Langliu disagreed, and let out a hearty laugh, he said, "I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while." Then he sat down, took out the fire, lit it, and the room was lit.

Lu Qianyu blinked, he smelled a smell of wine, so he said in a weird manner, "I'm not afraid of drinking you to death?"

Langliu snorted and said, "Don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon." Wine is a good thing, how many people are drunk, but extremely sober, and how many people, awake, pretend to drink?"

"Shut up. Lu Qianyu poured him a glass of water and said, "You ran in for no reason, just to discuss this matter with me?"

"Naturally not. Langliu put down the cup, wiped his chin, leaned forward, as if the wall had ears, and whispered, "The show is about to begin." ”

"Be clear. Lu Qianyu pushed him away and said with a look of disgust: "I hate this smell on you." ”

So, Langliu raised his arm and sniffed his armpit, and he said in surprise, "What smell, manly, hahaha." ”

"The mysterious taste of the gods!" Lu Qianyu said, "Wu Lingfeng, or Lu Blade, what kind of movements?"

Then, the wave recounted the news he had found out from Wulingfeng.

"Wu Lingxiong has arrived in Linzhou?" Lu Qianyu let out a cheer after hearing this, "Great, lest I go to Shuigu Town to settle accounts with him again." ”

However, as soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard the sound of noisy footsteps outside the window.

The two looked at each other with a bad premonition.

"I'll take a look" Wave quickly moved to the window, looking down. Then, a dark shadow shot into the window, brushed his face, and with a thud it struck the pillar, a black sword-shaped dart.

"We've been discovered?" shouted Wavestream, who saw several figures standing on the rooftops across the street, and the darts were being fired from there.

"Inform Shi Weng. Lu Qianyu turned around and took his sword and ran towards the door.

At this time, three or four black shadows suddenly appeared in front of the door, the wooden planks were torn apart, and someone kicked them open, sawdust flew all over the place, and the black shadows broke in strongly. Without waiting for Lu Qianyu to make a defensive posture, he only heard someone shouting, "Young Master Lu hides so closely, let's find it hard." ”

"You are..."

"The one who took your dog's life. ”

When the words fell, the three black shadows strode forward and had already come to Lu Qianyu, but fortunately, he reacted sharply, avoided the sword that was slashed down on the spot, and flashed elsewhere.

Then, the man in black seemed to have only Lu Qianyu in his eyes, and everyone caught up and slashed at him.

Lu Qianyu was no longer polite, and used his best sword moves, and between the teasings, he stopped a lot of deadly attacks, and then Langliu helped him break the siege from behind, and the two of them, three times and five divided by two, ended up with three enemies very easily.

"Damn!" Langliu leaned over, picked up one of them, took a closer look, and muttered to himself, "What kind of rice bucket are these, Wulingfeng?"

Immediately afterward, there was a fight.

Lu Qianyu and Langliu quickly rushed downstairs, only to see that in the tavern hall, people and overturned tables and chairs were crowded together, almost two dozen of them. They were dressed differently, more like an unorganized gang of green forest bandits.

But how could such a bold group of robbers near Linzhou City dare to come to the city to rob?

Lu Qianyu thought that they were not Wulingfeng's people.

First of all, the black-clothed swordsmen under Wu Lingfeng used swords, not knives, or messy weapons; moreover, the black-clothed swordsmen, dressed in uniform black-clothed and masked, how could they be so ostentatious in the market; finally, the black-clothed swordsmen were all practitioners, and they used complete swordsmanship, which was extremely difficult to deal with, otherwise Lu Qianyu would not have been lying in the reeds for half a month.

"Shopkeeper!"

Langliu shouted, pulling Lu Qianyu back from his meditation to the battlefield.

I saw that the shopkeeper was crawling and was being chased by two people. After all, he was not a martial arts practitioner, he lacked the means to protect himself, and he was already injured, and a large patch of red appeared on his gray robe. One of the thugs caught up with him, grabbed him by his clothes, and the shopkeeper broke free, and then the man kicked him and slammed him into the table like a stone. The gangster followed, raised his short knife, and slashed down at the shopkeeper.

At the last moment, Lu Qianyu threw a lonely cold, stabbed the man, and then leaped down from the second floor, kicked the two of them on the ground, and came to the shopkeeper's side.

Shi Weng was also here at this time, followed by three or four gangsters who were desperately chasing.

"They are Lu Blade's subordinates!" Langliu grabbed a fat guy at some point and looked at his face carefully, "When I was inquiring about the Lu family, I saw this guy, I can't be wrong!"

"How could Lu Jian know that we were here?" Shi Weng said in surprise.

Lu Qianyu watched the waves kick away the fat man, and thought, "Is it the wreath that was sent?"

"Who's still behind it?" Wave waved his fist, "Knock these guys over first, and then get out." ”

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen enemies surrounded the waves.

The answer was soon revealed.

Lu Qianyu squatted down to help the shopkeeper, put his head on his thigh, and checked his injuries.

"Shopkeeper, you can't die, hold on. When he was crying, the shopkeeper pushed Lu Qianyu away, which made him confused, so he had to pull out Gu Han from the corpse and put on a defensive position. At this time, the shopkeeper became angry and hateful, he pointed at the enemy, and shouted: "You despicable guys, you said you wouldn't hurt him. You lied to me. ”

Lu Qianyu frowned, feeling that something was wrong, so he immediately grabbed the second shopkeeper's neck and picked him up.

"What did you say?" he asked.

The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper who stopped breathing, and cried and said, "I gave this from the shopkeeper, I killed him, I'm not human." ”

"Cry and mourn!" In the crowd, a thin man suddenly stood up, and he said, "What Lao Tzu hates most in his life is a shameless traitor like you, don't you want me to get out of the way, do you want to die?"

Lu Qianyu knows this thin man, he is Lu Jian's cronies, thin monkeys.

Then, the thin monkey shouted to his subordinates: "Where is Lu Qianyu, see it, the master only needs the corpse, it doesn't matter if it is broken, one finger, five hundred taels!"

"Five hundred taels?" Langliu couldn't help but sarcastically. "Qianyu, have you seen it? Your life is cheaper!"

Lu Qianyu didn't like Langliu to joke at this juncture, he glared at the shopkeeper, and after hesitating, the sword he raised was still put down, there was no doubt that he was betrayed by the shopkeeper, he let go of his hand and said, "I'll settle accounts with you later." ”

"Little rabbit cub on dog days!" The wave was not as atmospheric as Lu Qianyu, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, thinking to himself why Lu Qianyu didn't cut off the traitor's dog head with a sword, so that he could get angry. He roared angrily, "Master, I go from south to north, and I always betray others." I haven't been betrayed by others!I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I would be in your gutter.... ”

Before he could finish speaking, the enemy swarmed up.
