Chapter 020: Capture the thief and capture the king to eliminate the evil
At this time, it was getting late, and it was already dark outside the house, Wang Ruoli blew out the candles, quietly closed the door, and took his sword and went into the darkness again.
Due to the looting of the village by bandits, most of the houses were burned down, and only a few houses were still bright, so it was believed that there were soldiers living in them temporarily.
Most of the sergeants went to the square at the entrance of the village, and from a distance, the fire was so bright that it was probably burning the corpses of farmers and bandits.
Wang Ruoli touched the window of one of the farmhouses lit with bright lights, but saw two sergeants lying down and sleeping in the farmhouse.
Wang Ruoli was about to get into the room, and suddenly thought about it, there is a way to capture the thief and capture the king, and with his own cultivation, he can only sneak attack the captain, and it is useless to attack the ordinary sergeant like this, in case he startles the snake and makes the other party have a defense, but he loses the opportunity to take the lead.
Thinking like this, Wang Ruoli made up his mind and first looked for the house where the captain was.
Fortunately, there were only a few candlelit houses in the village, and Wang Ruoli quickly found the farmhouse where the captain was, only to hear the captain's short and deep roar from inside.
There were no sergeants standing guard at the door of the farmhouse or around it, and it was estimated that the captain did not like that someone was eavesdropping on the door, and he did not think that he would encounter any danger.
Wang Ruoli walked lightly to the window, his heart was nervous, this was the first time he had sneaked up on a cultivator who was far superior to himself, this was undoubtedly a huge test for his state of mind!
There are no absolutes in everything, the so-called carelessness, even if he is a master of the spirit transformation period, he may be stabbed to death by a rookie in the qi training period, and at the moment Wang Ruoli can only silently cheer himself up.
Wang Ruoli secretly looked through the window and looked inside, only to see that the captain was still moving up and down, thinking that his guard should be much lax. It's just that the window is too narrow, and it's still too difficult for a single person to pass through, not to mention, and it has to fall silently without being noticed by the captain.
Wang Ruo was a little anxious, looked around the house, and suddenly saw an old locust tree in the corner of the house, and one of the branches of the branch went straight to the beam under the eaves of the house.
Most of the houses in the village were burned down this time, but this tree was fortunate not to be affected by the fire.
Wang Ruoli was overjoyed to see this, climbed the old locust tree lightly with his hands and feet, and tiptoed to the beams of the house, only to see that the light in front of him suddenly brightened. I didn't dare to be careless now, and I still carefully crawled along the beams to the center of the house. The long sword he was carrying was already pinned to his belt, and his movements were slow, lest he make a sound.
The time was just right, Wang Ruoli climbed all the way to the top of the bed in the house, facing the back of the captain, ready to raise his sword, waiting for the opportunity, taking advantage of the captain's low gasp, his body fell freely, and he stabbed straight down with his sword, and he couldn't allow the captain to react at all, so the long sword stabbed into his back and pierced into his heart.
The captain suddenly had an accident, but it was an "ah" sound, his body stood up, the long sword broke, Wang Ruoli was wrapped in this momentum, holding the broken sword in his hand, he was shocked to the ground, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, fortunately it was not an internal injury, but his lips were knocked by his teeth in a hurry.
Wang Ruoli hurriedly stood up on his back, fully on guard, only to see that the captain's legs and feet shook forward a few times, and he actually fell on the body of the woman on the bed, motionless.
At this time, there was no way to retreat, Wang Ruoli clenched the broken sword in his hand, unfolded his body, and stabbed several swords in the back of the captain.
Seeing that the captain was poked in the back by himself a few holes and was indifferent, Wang Ruoli was relieved and pushed the captain to the side, only to see that the other party was bleeding from his mouth and nose, staring and dying.
Looking at the woman on the bed again, Wang Ruoli couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually the fox woman who chased and killed him several times before, but at this time, the fox woman looked dead, and seemed to have no love, and there was no sadness or joy when she saw that she had killed the captain. Her limbs were tied to the corners of the bed, her clothes were discarded, and she thought she had been abused many times.
Wang Ruoli's heart is complicated, this fox woman and the great man robbed him to come to Qinan, and he was tortured along the way, unable to survive, and finally although he was lucky enough to kill the great man, he was chased and killed by the fox woman all the way, and he was in danger.
It's just that at this time, Wang Ruoli saw that the other party was in a miserable situation, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he used a broken sword to cut the rope that bound the woman's limbs and put her down.
Wang Ruoli glanced at the dead lieutenant on the ground, and thought that since this lieutenant was the lieutenant of Nanjing City, he should not be an unknown person, and it should be easy to ask for his identity when he went back. So he squatted down and touched the lieutenant's arms, but only found a few ingots of gold and a letter.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a wind behind him, Wang Ruoli hurriedly blocked with a broken sword, and saw the foxy woman stabbing with the captain's sword, but unfortunately her body was too weak and her strength was insufficient.
Hmph! En will take revenge, he just saved her, and he wants to kill me! Wang Ruoli is still a young man in the end, and he didn't kill the fox woman, but just snorted angrily and stopped caring about her, and left her to fend for herself!
After killing the captain, Wang Ruoli felt much more confident, and took advantage of the dark night to enter the lighted houses one after another, and easily finished off the seven sergeants who were still sleeping. After doing the math, there are about twenty sergeants in this batch, and ten of them, including the captain, have been killed by themselves, and the other sergeants are all in the village square, and they should be back soon.
If Wang Ruoli rushes over now, he will definitely be beaten by the remaining dozen sergeants, the so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands, this kind of thing to death can never be done.
So, Wang Ruoli changed the clothes of the sergeants, stuffed all the slain sergeants under the bed, blew out the candles in several houses, and hid in the darkness not far away again.
It turned out that these sergeants were actually on the side of the square, enjoying the wine and food women who had been plundered by the bandits, and after they were full of wine and food, they stumbled back to the village houses, and a few of them went back to bed and fell asleep.
Wang Ruoli was overjoyed when he saw this, and he wore the clothes of a sergeant, and swaggered into the houses three times, and the sergeant who was sleeping was the same.
These trips have been very fruitful, and they have directly killed six more.
It was only for the third time, just as Wang Ruoli stepped out of the door, a Pu knife attacked him.
Wang Ruoli raised his sword to block, and his figure hurriedly jumped to the side.
It turned out that the knife messenger noticed that the situation was different, and although it was dark at night, he still saw that Wang Ruoli's appearance was suspicious.
"Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a sergeant!" The sword envoy was originally a captain, a cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, and now he is a deserter, and his expression is a little suspicious.
Not far from Wang Ruo, three sergeants rushed to hear the sound, so naturally they would not wait stupidly to answer on the spot, and immediately started their swimming footwork and rushed to the dark place behind him.
When the knife maker saw that the other party fled at the touch, he was very annoyed and chased after him in the dark, but in all directions, it was pitch black, and he hesitated for a while, and did not dare to chase any further, for fear of falling into the plot.
Wang Ruoli didn't stop, taking advantage of the darkness to rush straight to the village entrance square, secretly calculating in his heart, deducting the messenger and the three sergeants who came to help, there should be no more than two sergeants in the square.
Sure enough, at this time, there were only two sergeants left in the square, still drinking wine, and there were several peasant women shrunk into a ball in rags on the side.
Wang Ruoli lifted his sword and went straight in, and the nearby sergeant with a glass of wine didn't know anything and was picked off by Wang Ruoli's neck, and the other sergeant was sitting opposite, panicking when he saw this, it was too late to turn around and touch the sword, and he was directly cut off by Wang Ruoli.
Several peasant women who were huddled next to them were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions.
The sword-bearer blew the assembly, but he never thought that there was a dead silence in all directions, and only the four of them looked at each other.
The three sergeants were so frightened that the knife man had to give the order: "Go to the village square, there is a light there!"
The four of them converged together, Wang Ruoli still had some scruples, and did not dare to attack and kill directly.
Inexplicably, Wang Ruoli found that he seemed to be particularly suitable for the dark, and in the darkness it seemed to be his home field, and the darkness that made people afraid to approach seemed to be his best protective color.
After killing the two sergeants in the square just now, Wang Ruoli casually took their long swords with him, and at this time, when he saw the four of them back to back, he cautiously walked towards the square step by step, so he immediately took out a long sword and threw it.
The sergeant on guard over there heard the wind coming, and hurriedly raised his sword to block. The blade of the long sword was slashed, but the blade slashed through the arm of the sergeant next to him.
The three sergeants began to panic, causing the knife man to shout: "Don't mess with yourself!"
The four of them walked forward again, but they did not pursue Wang Ruoli.
Wang Ruoli changed his position several times, hid aside, took out a long sword again, and couldn't help but think of the Flying Maple Technique, and then used the Heart Sutra to throw it with strength, the long sword drew an arc, and flew silently, and one of the sergeants was directly hit through the chest, and fell to the ground in pain.
The remaining two sergeants could no longer hold their composure, and ran away from both sides, and one of them stupidly ran towards the foot of the wall where Wang Ruoli was crouching......
Wang Ruoli followed the footwork, chasing the sergeant running on the other side, and the long sword was out of his hand again, piercing through the sergeant fleeing in front.
The bonfire in front of him, mixed with the smell of burning corpses, made the knife man stand on the ground with a calm expression.
Wang Ruoli slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the place in front of the sword-maker with a calm face.
The sword-maker spoke, with surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that the person who killed the captain and the twenty sergeants was such a young man as you!"
Wang Ruoli waited intently and didn't speak, and the two sides didn't need to talk much, some were just dead and alive.
The two of them carried weapons, rushed to each other, fought each other, and then withdrew, so that the knife man quickly slashed forward more than a dozen knives, Wang Ruoli relied on his body method, dodged back and forth, and by the force of retreat, he also stabbed out a sword trick at the moment, with the footwork of swimming, it was actually on par with the knife maker.
The original sword maker saw that the captain was killed by a sword, thinking that he would not escape death, so he simply fought to the death, never thought that the other party was a young man, although his strength also entered the qi cultivation period, but after several battles, he found that the other party's strength was still slightly insufficient compared to himself, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
The two fought each other for dozens of moves, causing the knife man to suddenly slash vigorously, forcing Wang Ruoli's body to kick, Wang Ruoli was also decisive, and directly threw the long sword in his hand, and the long sword cut a large piece of blood on the knife maker's foot.
The knife maker landed on one foot, endured the pain and slashed straight at the knife, but Wang Ruoli had an extra long sword in his hand, so he opened the knife, and the long stab went straight into the neck of the knife maker. Before the sword-bearer was dying, he slashed off half of the sword's neck.
The sword-man wailed silently, fell to his knees, and fell on his side.
Wang Ruoli touched the long sword in his hand, looked back at the village in the darkness behind him, and looked at this bloody night, this night, the night will be silent, what kind of murderous night is this!
