Chapter 59: The Siege of the Post House

Halfway through the ugly hour, there was a strange noise under the bed, and then a torch came out of the open secret passage and lit the fuse.

It all happened very quickly, and the man with the torch was agile and fast. If Ji Xuan was lying on the bed at this time, even if he heard a strange noise and got out of bed to investigate, then the moment he got out of bed, the fuse had already been ignited, and it was too late for Ji Xuan to escape at that time, because the fuse was extremely short, and the moment it was ignited, the gunpowder would explode.

Fortunately, for all this, Chen Qi and Ji Xuan had already prepared, and when they heard the strange noise, the two of them flew out of the window behind them.

The last one to jump out was Chen Qi, and as soon as he came out of the window, the torch sticking out of the dark passage had already lit the fuse, and then there was an explosion.

The person who lit the gunpowder, originally thought that no one would find out, and he was happy that according to his speed, he could safely evacuate after lighting the fuse. But when he heard the sound of the window, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't return to the dark and was killed directly.

Due to the reduction in the amount of explosives, the explosion did not destroy the entire house, but it ignited the bedding on the bed, and the silk bedding burned in an instant, and then the whole room burned.

The sound of the explosion was a signal for both inside and outside the station.

Inside the post station, Ji Xuan and Chen Qi immediately hid after jumping out of the window, they had to observe the progress of the next thing before responding.

At the same time, the surrounding guards immediately shouted at the fierce fire of the room, "Your Highness is under attack, come quickly......"

In addition to the guards who were hiding, the guards who were standing guard and patrolling outside all rushed to the area around the burning house and began to put out the fire.

The people outside the inn were very excited to hear the explosion, but they instantly felt that something was wrong, and the sound of the explosion was much smaller than they had expected.

"Why is the explosion so quiet? Is there not enough medicine?"

There were more than a dozen people in the room opposite the post house at the moment, and a thin old man stood at the door and stared at the post house, asking without looking back.

"No, I put a big box full of gunpowder myself. A middle-aged man with a beard and a hideous face replied.

"Could it be that it was discovered?" said someone next to him.

"No way, it's very secretive, unless they lift the bed. The middle-aged man with a beard and a hideous face said.

The old man said: "Don't argue about this now, whether that person is killed or not, wait until you attack the inn, and don't let go of any of the people inside." ”

"Yes!" replied the others in the room.

Standing next to the old man was a man who was slightly younger than him, with gray hair, a cold face, and a scar on his face: "Last night, I took the four hall masters not only failed to kill that person, but also suffered heavy losses, so don't be careless tonight." ”

"Yes!"

The old man said, "Wait a minute, the four of you Dharma Protectors are divided into two groups, and they are responsible for dragging those two young people, and Elder Mei and I will go to find that person." ”

"Yes!" four replied.

"According to what the six hall masters said before, Hall Master Yu and Hall Master Zhang led the headquarters to ambush outside the post house, and the other four hall masters took the headquarters to attack the post house. ”

"Yes!" replied six of them.

"Don't compare tonight's actions with Shen Mansion's, Shen Mansion that time due to the presence of Hall Master Yu, we are extremely familiar with Shen Mansion's swordsmanship and formation, and it is easy to succeed by surprise. Although they don't have many masters this time, it can be seen from Elder Mei's failure last night that those two teenagers of unknown origin and extremely high martial arts are extremely threatening, we must not be careless, otherwise there will be no way to explain to the sect leader, so I hope you will do your best. ”

"Yes!"

The people in this room were the same people from the Tianyi Sect who slaughtered the Shen Mansion that night, the two elders Wu and Mei, and the four protectors of Huang, Li, Cheng, and Shi, but at that time, there was only one hall master, Yu Qingxin, and at this time, there were five more hall masters.

Duan Wende, the prefect of Qingzhou, is also here, but he is not a member of the Tianyi Sect, and he is only acting according to the order to cooperate with the Tianyi Sect.

When the chaotic shouts in the post house came, Elder Wu said, "Let's work." Then he walked out with the people in the house.

Before leaving the door, Elder Wu said to Duan Wende, "Lord Duan is waiting here." ”

Duan Wende bowed down with a smile on his face and said, "Yes!"

Outside, the men were all covered with black veils, covering their faces.

A hall master takes out a warning firework and lights it. The fireworks burst out in the air, and the Tianyi Sect people who were ambushed around the post house immediately rushed to the gate of the post house, and the six hall masters also left Elder Wu and the others at this time to join their subordinates.

There were six Elder Wu left, and when all these people entered the post house, they took steps towards the gate of the post house.

At the same time as the warning fireworks were released, everyone in the post house saw it, and the guards who were still busy fighting the fire immediately stopped, then extinguished all the lights and candles, and retreated to the surrounding rooms.

The four hall masters and their respective subordinates who entered the post house first did not stop in the front yard and killed directly in the back yard.

Rushing to the backyard, the people of the Tianyi Sect found that the guards who were shouting just now were all gone.

"Look, these people must have hidden in the surrounding rooms, find them, and kill them all!" shouted a hall master.

This time, the Tianyi Sect mobilized six halls, each hall selected a hundred people, and most of the four hundred people who entered the backyard at this moment were concentrated around the rockery in the middle of the courtyard.

With the shouts of the hall master, the people were about to disperse in all directions, but at that moment, a rocket shot out from the eastern corridor and flew towards the rockery.

The Tianyi Sect members who were about to leave were stunned for a moment, stopped their tracks, and watched the rocket shoot into the rockery. As the rocket entered, there was a loud bang immediately, and the entire rockery was suddenly blown to pieces, and the rubble spread out to all sides at a very fast speed.

"Ah......h

The surrounding Tianyi Sect members were hit by these gravels with this great power, or they were killed or injured, and their screams suddenly resounded in the night sky.

At the same time as the explosion occurred, Elder Wu and the others happened to enter the backyard, and each of them was startled, this loud noise was the one they expected to come from Ji Xuan's bedroom. At this moment, they all understood that the gunpowder must have been found under the bed.

"Don't panic, the injured stay where they are, and the others will immediately attack the rooms on all sides. Elder Wu unleashed his internal strength and shouted loudly.

With Elder Wu's shout, those panicked Tianyi Sect members immediately calmed down and attacked the surroundings under the leadership of the four hall masters.

"Kill!" hid in the shadows, the guard officer who had just shot the rocket shouted when he saw this.

The guards, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the doors and windows at this moment, and the archers quickly shot the arrows in their hands.

Those Tianyi Sect members who were about to approach the surrounding houses were too close to react at all, and many were shot by arrows, either killed or wounded.

Although there are trees and pavilions in the courtyard to shelter them, the arrows are shot from all sides, which makes them have nothing to hide.

Continuing to be the Tianyi Sect members brandished their weapons and slaughtered the surrounding rooms, but many of them fell before they even approached the corridor. Some of them also made it to the door, but their attention was all on the arrows they fired, and there were guards with spears hidden in the shadows, and when they approached, they were directly stabbed by these guards.

Elder Wu looked at the sect members who were in chaos again, shook his head, and said, "I really don't know how you usually train. ”

Huang Protector said: "After all, we are not a regular army, we only know how to teach them martial arts, and we have less practice in this area, but we will practice when we go back this time." ”

Elder Wu said, "The four of you go over and help them force everyone out." ”

"Yes!"

After the four protectors finished speaking, one of them chose a direction and rushed away.
