Chapter 204
After a few moments, all I could hear was the rustling of leaves. If it were someone else, he would poke his head out and watch. When Li Qiufeng first entered the Jinyi Guard, he had learned the art of tracking, and knew that this was also one of the ways to throw stones to ask for directions, and deliberately made the things around him make a noise to lure the ambushers to appear. It was because he had his back against the tree, and he remained motionless.
After a few ringing of leaves, the tree fell silent, and then the two killers had passed through a thicket of trees, skimming the large tree where the autumn wind was hiding.
These two people turned their backs to Li Qiufeng, and they seemed to be completely exposed. But Li Qiufeng knew that the reason why these two killers were so big was because there must be companions behind them.
Sure enough, when the two of them swept past three feet or so, the third killer had already appeared.
The killer was holding a sword in his right hand, and he actually swept backwards from the left side of Li Qiufeng.
Li Qiufeng was waiting for this moment. As soon as the man appeared, Li Qiufeng's long knife had already been swung out.
The blade passed, and the killer's head flew into the air. The headless body was still receding, blood spurting from his neck.
Li Qiufeng returned his long knife to the sheath, grabbed the headless corpse with his right hand, and gently placed it on the ground. As the corpse lay on the ground, it writhed a few times.
At this time, the killer's head also fell from the sky, and Li Qiufeng's right hand stretched out and was grabbing the human head's bun, so he gently placed the human head next to the corpse.
He flew out like a big bird, chasing after the two killers more than ten feet away.
The killers of the Yanagi clan have undergone rigorous training before their debut, and the last level is similar to actual combat. Each of the seven killers is divided into a group, and every two groups are opponents of each other, banished in the mountains or towns, chasing and killing each other, and the winner can be counted as the killer of the Yanagi clan, and the loser will either die a tragic death or be seriously injured. When these killers perform their tasks, they are carried out in full accordance with the methods of daily training, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and shooting ruthlessly. It was because of the battle of the royal tomb that year, and the martial arts of many martial arts masters in the Central Plains far exceeded these killers, but they fought separately, and finally died in the hands of these killers.
It's just that although the killers of the Yanagi clan are trained harshly, they also have a hidden danger, that is, everything is carried out according to plan, and it is not flexible at all. It's just that over the years, these killers have almost never missed the assassination mission, and the clansmen regard Yanagi Zongyan as a god, and no one dares to speak to him, so no one mentions this hidden danger.
Today's seven killers chased and killed Li Qiufeng, according to the method trained by the Yanagi clan, the two of them were the leads, luring the target to appear, and the third person was the main force of killing, and was responsible for protecting the two people who went first. Among the seven killers, this person's martial arts are the highest. The next two were responsible for cover, and they were far away from the three. And there are two people at the back, but they are responsible for receiving everyone's retreat.
It's just that Li Qiufeng has also received strict training in tracking and anti-tracking among the Jinyi Guards, and he himself is extremely wise, so he saw through the tricks of these people, and let the two killers who had lured the enemy quietly get rid of the killer with the highest martial arts first. The two killers at the front didn't notice it at all, and still searched forward.
Li Qiufeng quietly approached the two, and the blade passed, and the heads of the two killers fell to the ground, and the bodies rolled down to both sides.
Li Qiufeng didn't stop, turned around and hurried back to the big tree where he had just hidden.
Moments later, two more killers came running left and right.
After the two swept through the tree, they found the body of the first killer killed by Li Qiufeng.
Shocked, the two gathered around the corpse and leaned down to see how the killer had died.
At this moment, Li Qiufeng raised his right hand, and more than a dozen copper coins shot out. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than two feet, and the two killers had not yet noticed that the copper coin had been shot out of the back of their heads. Each of them had two or three copper coins on his head, so how could he still survive? I saw the two of them fall to the ground with their long swords, and their hands were weakly grasped in the air a few times in vain, and then they fell to the ground and died.
Li Qiufeng let out a sigh of relief, leaned on the big tree, and secretly adjusted his internal breath by luck.
He killed five killers in a single move, seemingly without effort, but in fact, each move was carefully calculated, and it was actually the result of a lifetime's work. Moreover, he was seriously injured, and there was still a small amount of residual poison on his body that had not been removed, so after getting rid of all these five killers, he was weak all over, and his head felt slightly dizzy.
After half a pillar of incense, only a panicked footstep was heard, and then a gray-clothed man ran over in confusion. When he saw the three corpses on the ground, he exclaimed in surprise, and immediately turned to the east and fled.
After the man escaped dozens of feet away, he only heard Zhuyue say, "I still underestimated you." ”
Li Qiufeng walked out from behind the tree, and saw that the moon was two feet away, so he said to her, "There is only one person left." ”
Zhu Yue said: "I knew you could kill these five people, but I didn't expect you to kill so quickly." I have killed one of the two people who answered, leaving one alive, and I will follow him to find the hiding place of the Yagyu clan. ”
Li Qiufeng said: "This is the best. After I've found a few friends, I'll come back and join forces with you to get rid of Yagyu Soiwa. ”
Zhuyue said: "If I say that I moved Kogoro's subordinates, how can I contact you?"
Li Qiufeng had already thought of this festival, and said to Zhuyue: "There is an inn in Yong'an City, called the Gu family's old shop. When the time comes, we'll meet there and discuss how to get rid of Yagyu Soiwa. ”
Moon nodded and chased in the direction the killer had fled.
Li Qiufeng sat cross-legged under the tree, transporting his internal force to run along the seven meridians and eight veins, in case the residual poison scattered everywhere invaded his heart when he had just started. When his limbs were warm and comfortable, he calmed down, stood up, and ran back to the town with light skills.
When he returned to the restaurant, the Zhengyangzhai thieves who had been in chaos on the long street had already dispersed. Li Qiufeng was afraid of being recognized, so he stood under an archway more than ten zhang away from the restaurant, looking at the restaurant from afar. I saw that he and the two horses that he rode from month to month were still tied to the tethered stake in front of the restaurant, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: "Since the thieves in Zhengyang Village recognized that this was their companion's horse, why didn't they take the horse away? Could it be that they deliberately left the horses behind to lure themselves to appear?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard an old man at the tea stall next to him talking to a few people: "You guys are late, and you didn't see the scene just now." Tsk, it can really be said that it is tense, so it's not scary!"
Several people sitting at the tea table looked at the old man with envy, and one of them said: "Old Yang Tou, don't sell it, tell us what happened!"
The old Yang said: "What else is going on? It is nothing more than the heroic story of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, impassioned, and the heroes of Anliang." Haha, haha. ”
When those people saw Lao Yang Tou pretending to be mysterious, they laughed and scolded one after another. The last person said, "Today's tea money is mine." The old Yang's eyes lit up, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the man who came here today is a good man from Zhengyang Village!"
Before he finished speaking, a man snorted and said: "Zhengyang Village? What kind of heroes can they call it! Who in these four towns and eight miles does not know, Zhengyang Village robs houses and houses, does all kinds of evil, is a group of green forest robbers, and is a fart hero!" The rest of the people also echoed one after another, scolding Lao Yang for having no eyes and not beads, and recognizing the thief as his father.
Li Qiufeng fought twice with the thieves in Zhengyangzhai, and he had already seen that this group of people was not a good person. Hearing Lao Yang Tou call these people "heroes", he looked down on this old Yang Tou. At this moment, I only heard Lao Yang Tou lower his voice and said: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Zhengyangzhai has changed now, it is no longer a green forest robber who robbed houses, and has been incorporated by the imperial court. I heard that it will be pulled out in a few days, and it will be a serious officer and army by then. ”
Li Qiufeng's heart sank, he had been on an errand in Jinyiwei for a long time, and he knew that the imperial court mainly suppressed the green forest Xiangma, and he had never heard of the inclusion of the official army. After Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, he suppressed the green forest cottages in Henan and Hubei. This Zhengyang Village is just an inconspicuous small cottage in the green forest, and which official dares to incorporate it as an officer and soldier?
I only heard the old Yang Tou continue: "I heard that not only Zhengyang Village, but also from Shanhaiguan in the north, to Shandong in the south, and to the capital in the west, the green forest cottages everywhere have now been incorporated into the official army. The cousin of my second father-in-law is running a business in Qinghe Town, and he knows about these green forests, and I heard him say that it is a big official of the imperial court who went to various cottages to announce his will. These green forest cottages will go down the mountain in a few days, and they will all meet in Yong'an City and be unified into an official army ......"
When Li Qiufeng heard the words "Yong'an City", he was shocked, knowing that this matter was definitely not simple, and secretly thought: "Who is so bold to transfer all these bandits and robbers who gather in the mountains and forests to Yong'an City?!"
