Chapter 44 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows

Yu Tianlai was far behind Hong Xiguan and the three of them, all the way to Wu Liuqi's official office.

He watched the three of them enter through the back wall, grabbed a guard on night duty, tortured Wu Liuqi to be in the study at the moment, and then knocked the person unconscious and hid it, and then touched it in the direction of the study.

This time, Yu Tianlai saved a lot of hands and feet, and still quietly followed the three of them to sneak in.

Hong Xiguan's actions were very methodical, and they encountered several patrolling guards before and after, but they all skillfully avoided them without being discovered.

The group quietly came to the study, but saw that the light was still on in the room, and a tall figure was projected by the light on the closed window, as if he was sitting quietly and reading a book.

Hong Xiguan gestured to the two people beside him, and pointed to the left and right of the window.

Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er understood, and separated left and right on both sides of the window.

Hong Xiguan's figure fell slightly, like a full bow taut, the three-foot short spear in his hand slowly raised, and the shakuhachi spear, which was as narrow as a dagger, pointed at the figure on the window.

Suddenly, Hong Xiguan and his guns were like a powerful arrow coming out of a full strong bow, shooting towards the window. The short spear in his hand also stabbed straight forward with the forward momentum of his body. At the same time as the short spear was pierced, there were a few very subtle sound of machine springs in the body of the gun, and then the body of the spear extended and skyrocketed three times, and the three-foot short spear instantly turned into a nine-foot spear that was enough to charge into battle on the battlefield of the two armies.

This condensed the shot stabbed by Hong Xiguan's wholehearted and wholehearted power, and borrowed the momentum of the body's forward rush to bless the power of the machine spring ejection, which was not only as fast as thunder and lightning, but also powerful enough to pierce the golden cliff, and its momentum was unstoppable.

The spear's blade snorted through the window paper and into the body of the man behind the window.

Although the gun was fired through the window, Hong Xiguan was also fully sure that this shot would accurately pierce the throat of the target. After ten years of Shaolin learning, he mastered the Shaolin thirteen-way marksmanship and created his own 64-style "deadly lock throat gun". After Shaolin Abbot Zhishan Zen Master saw it, although he felt that this way of marksmanship was too ruthless, he had to admit that it had been included in the seventy-two stunts that had been passed down from generation to generation in Shaolin and constantly innovated.

However, at the moment when the spear pierced the body of the person behind the window, Hong Xiguan only relied on the faint touch of the gun's body between his fingers, and he had already sensed that the stab was not flesh and blood, and his eyes froze.

He shook his wrists and shook his spear, shattering the entire window in front of him, and then looked inside, only to see a straw man sitting behind the window.

"I've been tricked, retreat!"

Frightened, Hong Xiguan didn't care about hiding it, and shouted a low voice to warn Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er.

But before the other two could figure out what was going on, a long laugh suddenly came from another room next door, and a burly man with short hair like a needle pushed the door out, stood under the eaves and sneered: "Sure enough, they are three young children who have just come out of the rivers and lakes, and they stepped on the plate indiscriminately during the day, and they came to assassinate the official that night." If you get it so easily, I, Wu Tiebeg, will also be in vain for decades!"

This person calls himself "Wu Tie Beggar", and is naturally the elder of the Beggar Gang back then, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty Chief Soldier, known as Wu Liuqi, known as the "Iron Beggar".

With Wu Liuqi's shout, the dark rooms on both sides opened the door at the same time, and a total of twelve men dressed in strong suits and holding long knives walked out, surrounding the three Hong Xiguan who were gathered together in the courtyard.

Liu Yingchun and Ma Ning'er also showed their double knives and steel claws, and formed a T-shaped formation with Hong Xiguan, even though they were under siege, they were not afraid.

Yu Tianlai hid behind the roof ridge of the opposite roof, and saw what had happened, but he was not surprised. With the sensitivity of his six senses, he had already noticed that although there was a figure on the window of the study, there was no living person in the room, but there were many very subtle breathing sounds coming from the other rooms where the lights were turned off and the darkness was pitch black, so that he knew that there were not only people inside, but also masters with certain attainments in internal strength.

But he was confident that he was taking care of himself in secret, and he would not teach Hong Xiguan and others to be in danger, so he didn't make a sound warning, and let them fall for the trick, but finally attracted Wu Liuqi, the main master, to appear.

At this time, Wu Liuqi took a few steps forward and asked the three of Hong Xiguan: "If the eldest husband does not change his name, he will not change his surname, if the three of them are good men, will they dare to report their names and origins in a dignified manner?"

Hong Xiguan in the courtyard held the spear in front of him, the expression under the face towel was difficult to see, but his tone was as calm as before, but the words he said showed his poisonous tongue talent: "The surname Wu rarely uses this childish tactic to provoke the generals, are you considered a good man, and how can you be judged by a traitorous thief who has forgotten his ancestors?"

Wu Liuqi's big swarthy face turned purple at once, and he smiled angrily: "I don't know what to do, junior, wait a minute, I will catch you later, and see how the master concocts you." Hopefully, you'll be so sharp-tongued by then. Do it!"

When the twelve men heard this order, the twelve long knives formed a knife array, and the blades intertwined into a net, strangled towards the three of Hong Xiguan in the middle. They are all green forest bandits recruited by Wu Liuqi with a lot of money, and after rigorous training with the methods of the army, they are the best at joining forces to attack together.

Liu Yingchun's pair of narrow-edged steel knives spread left and right like cranes spreading their wings, intercepting the six swordsmen on the right side, and shouted in his mouth: "Senior brother, let's block these people, you go and clean up the dog thief!"

"Senior brother, let's compete to see who will kill the opponent first!" Ma Ning'er on the other side laughed and also used a pair of steel claw hooks on his hands to tear apart, stopping the six knife hands on the left.

A fierce killing intent flashed in Hong Xiguan's eyes, and the spear stabbed out with the momentum of Zhongping, and the spear edge went straight to Wu Liuqi's throat.

"I don't know whether to live or die!" Wu Liuqi snorted coldly, the ten fingers of both hands were bent like a green dragon probing claws, and the shot was like lightning, and the move was wonderful, and he actually grabbed the gun behind the gun, and then regained it with great luck, and shouted in his mouth, "Let go!"

The Beggar Gang has a peerless science called "Dragon Claw Grabler", which can not only divide the muscles and bones and take people's joints, but also enter the white-bladed weapon empty-handed. Wu Liuqi was fortunate to learn this kung fu when he was in the beggar gang, and after decades of polishing in the rivers and lakes and battlefields, he has already practiced to the extremely high realm of doing what he wants.

Hong Xi's officers and soldiers fell into the hands of the other party, and he felt a strong force to snatch the spear from his hands. He was also very strained, although he was surprised but not in a hurry, his hands holding the barrel of the gun suddenly twisted and shook, and the soft click of the barrel of the gun broke into three sections, but there was a thin chain connection at the disconnection. Hong Xiguan grabbed one of the guns with his right hand and regained the opponent's hold, but with his left hand, he reversed the last part of the gun and poked the opponent's lower abdomen with the conical gun at the end of the gun.

Wu Liuqi also didn't expect that the opponent's spear would hide so many changes in the mechanism, so he had to withdraw his hand to dodge when he was caught off guard.

Hong Xiguan took back the spear and shook it again, and the three guns were connected into one again, and the gun came out like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, still sealing the throat with a shot.

Wu Liuqi used the dragon claw grappler to snatch his spear, but under the situation that Hong Xiguan was careful and his moves were unpredictable, it was difficult to get it as easily as Fang Cai.

Looking at the fierce battle of three regiments below, it was difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat of the battlefield for a while, and Yu Tianlai, who was hiding on the roof, was ready to go. Both sides below thought they were praying mantis catching cicadas, but they didn't know that there was also his yellow finch on top that was ready to pick up cheap.
