Chapter 29: The Suspicious Apprentice
When you enter the courtyard in the southeast corner, you can see that it is a typical Jiangnan amusement park, with mountains, rivers and trees, and it is very exquisitely arranged. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt seems that after the Musashi family settled in Dinghai, it became more and more close to Jiangnan customs.
Li Yingyuan investigated around, found nothing abnormal, and then ran to the rockery to see, it was just a very ordinary Yellowstone rockery, I don't know what the old monk meant. However, the terrain here is so high that you can see almost the whole of Musashi Prefecture, and you can see the English soldiers going in and out of the various buildings, and then they come out in large bags.
Coming down from the rockery and walking towards the bamboo forest, Li Yingyuan felt abnormal at this time. The golden cicada in the right hand has usually been quiet and motionless, and there is no movement if it is not urged, but at this time, there is a strange feeling.
If you take a closer look, there is an extremely obscure fluctuation from the Golden Cicada Dao Species, not that kind of urging, but more like some joy and joy, which is difficult to explain clearly in words, a bit like resonating with something, or even attracting each other.
Li Yingyuan was puzzled, he didn't understand what was going on with his unexplained feeling, and unconsciously walked a few steps forward, until he heard a burst of breathing and suddenly came to his senses.
"Who's there, come out for me!" Li Yingyuan shouted, took a step back, and picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground.
"Don't be impulsive, I'm just here to get rid of it. After a while, there was a panicked voice ahead, and then a figure dressed in green appeared.
Seeing the person, Li Yingyuan was stunned, only to see that this person was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a short green shirt in the English style, with two rows of buttons in front of the clothes, but it was a custom-made costume worn by the young apprentices recruited by the English.
In addition to wearing a white coat in the hospital, Li Yingyuan usually wears such a one, but this apprentice looks very raw and can't recognize who it is.
"What are you doing here?" asked Li Yingyuan nervously without letting his guard down.
"I suddenly have diarrhea, can't I get here to relieve my hands?" the apprentice was a little flustered, but he pretended to be calm: "But I want to ask you, what are you doing here?"
Li Yingyuan carefully observed the apprentice from top to bottom, and saw that he looked like Zhou Zheng, half a head taller than himself, and there was a healthy shine on his skin, and it seemed that he usually ate well.
However, the English people are good to their apprentices, and most of them usually eat well, unlike ordinary children with vegetables.
It's just that the clothes on the side of this apprentice have some blood stains, and at the same time, Li Yingyuan is also sure that the kind of resonance or call he feels comes from this apprentice.
"What's the matter with your clothes, you're injured?" asked Li Yingyuan.
"I was crossed out during the battle just now, and it was no big deal. The apprentice replied irritably, put his hand in his coat pocket, and looked at Li Yingyuan for a moment: "My bosses are probably looking for me, what's the matter, are you going to stop me from leaving?"
"I didn't mean that. Li Yingyuan thought for a moment and smiled, and stepped back to the side: "I thought there was a remnant of the Musashi family, so I just wanted to investigate." Since it's your own person, how can I embarrass you. ”
"That's what it sounds like. When this battle is over, I'll treat you to dinner another day. The apprentice smiled and walked forward, not forgetting to show favor when he passed by Li Yingyuan.
"That's a good feeling. Li Yingyuan kept a smile on his face and let people pass in front of him.
However, when the apprentice had just walked two or three steps past him, Li Yingyuan suddenly became troubled, picked up the stone in his hand and smashed it into the apprentice's head.
However, the apprentice looked like he had an eye in the back of his head, and he sideways avoided it, and the stone only hit his shoulder without causing any real damage.
The apprentice took out his hand in the pocket of his coat, but he held a dagger that looked extremely sharp, and the hilt of the knife was inlaid with what looked like precious stones.
"Why, that's how you greet your own people?" the apprentice asked viciously, waving his dagger, and the panic of the moment was replaced by a hideous look of fear.
"If you want to pretend to be yourself, at least put the clogs on your feet. Li Yingyuan grabbed the stone in his hand and also faced the other party fiercely.
There were blood stains on the other party's clothes, and he was wearing Fuso-style geta under his feet, and his head was bare, as if he had been temporarily shaved.
I don't understand this, it must be a certain Fuso man who stripped off the clothes of an injured or dead apprentice, hoping to pretend to be the other party to fool him through, even if there is no hint from Jin Chan, Li Yingyuan will not be fooled.
"Die, bastard!" the apprentice cried fiercely, handing the dagger forward.
Li Yingyuan blocked it with the stone in his hand, but the dagger slipped from the stone, still leaving a bloody mark on his arm, and he had to take a step back.
Seeing the first sword, the apprentice's confidence increased greatly, and he roared in a low voice and took another step forward, and Li Yingyuan had to take another step back.
At this time, Li Yingyuan couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart, knowing that he was careless. The other party looks a year or two older than him, he is taller than himself, and he seems to have received a certain amount of martial arts training. After the initial panic passed, it was pressing step by step.
On the other hand, Li Yingyuan had already been exhausted from the torture and interrogation in the past few days, and he had only eaten some good things last night in the past three days, and after such a long time in Musashi Mansion, those things had long been consumed.
What's more, Li Yingyuan felt that with the other party's physical fitness, he might not be able to beat himself even when he was usually in good condition, let alone that the other party was holding a sharp dagger now, and he was just a useless stone in his hand.
"Hell, I should have waited until he was out of the yard before calling the soldiers over and arresting him. Li Yingyuan regretted it in his heart.
After taking a few steps back, Li Yingyuan felt a small tree on his back, and secretly screamed that it was bad. The apprentice smirked and stepped forward to stab, Li Yingyuan barely bent down to avoid it, but a wound was cut on his shoulder.
"I'll kill you!" The apprentice took advantage of this opportunity to press quickly, and Li Yingyuan rolled on the ground a few times in desperation, and finally avoided it, but the back was hot, and it seemed that he had been slashed a few times.
Li Yingyuan aimed the stone at the apprentice and threw it out, but it only hit him in the shoulder, but the apprentice didn't care about the pain at all, and pounced directly, holding the knife in both hands and stabbing it fiercely.
At this dangerous moment, Li Yingyuan grabbed the other party's hands with his hands and prevented the knife in his hand from piercing down. However, Li Yingyuan's strength was inferior to the other party after all, so people relied on brute force to press down, and the two sides rolled on the ground a few times.
Li Yingyuan tried his best to push the other party away, but after all, his strength was weak, and he was pressed to the ground, and the knife was less than three inches from his head.
The apprentice's eyes were bloodshot, and with a victorious smile on his face at this time, he just wanted to stab him down, so Li Yingyuan had to use his hands to support the opponent's wrists.
The other party's knife pierced down little by little, and at this moment, the golden cicada Dao seed in Li Yingyuan's right hand was frantically urged in an extremely peculiar way.
