Chapter 3: Mr. Yin
The night outside the plug is always accompanied by the cold wind, the usual night of Yilan City is noisy and enthusiastic, taverns, green buildings, restaurants regardless of high-end and low-grade are lively, rich and powerful nobles, businessmen, darts, etc., everyone who comes to Yilan City and has a few dollars like to enjoy entertainment here in Yilan City, there are good wines from all over the world, there are beauties from foreign countries, as long as you have money, you can enjoy anything, the city lord is the most enlightened, as long as he abides by the rules of Yilan City, he will always protect those who are willing to spend money.
However, tonight was different, the three city gates were closed early before it was dark, and the city lord issued a curfew, but only left to face the west gate facing the Central Plains.
The soldiers of Yilan City were also ordered to return to the barracks early, they did not know that a large group of riders rushed in at the west gate without even stopping, they were wearing blue-green brocade clothes, with embroidered spring knives at their waists, and carrying crossbows on their backs, with solemn faces, and the first leader, wearing a four-clawed python robe without a weapon, with a black wooden mask on his head, and half of the mask was engraved with a yin pattern, which was very impressive.
A group of riders rode to the center of the city, the leader of the mask raised his left hand and made a gesture, and the riders immediately dismounted neatly, three or five people formed a team, some drew embroidered spring knives, and some took out the crossbow from behind and used the noose to put on the arrow, but they did not make much noise.
"Whoosh~whoosh~~whoosh~~" Three arrows of different lengths rang out, and the masked leader, looking down, pointed at the two leaders in the Flying Fish suit and made a few gestures.
The two leaders bowed and saluted and turned around to summon their men, running in the direction of the target, and after a few steps, the use of Qi Brush Brush was booked, and the team galloped on the rooftop, and the feet didn't even make much sound, they would occupy the commanding heights in advance, and the target would escape anyway.
The masked leader made another gesture, and the rest of the men followed the masked leader, methodically advancing towards the target.
The masked leader's drooping hand pinched the knuckles and belly of his five fingers as he walked, as if calculating something.
"My lord, the outlaws who are in front of Tanma and those who are for the bonus have already faced up with the couple surnamed Cao, they can't escape, and the ninth in the heavenly list is not going to die here under the step-by-step calculation of the adults. A hundred households in a flying fish suit walked up to the mask leader and said softly.
"Trapped beasts fight for their lives, not to mention cubs. A deep voice came from under the leader's mask.
After a while, the group heard the sound of swords in the distance.
"Wang Yuan, stand behind me in a moment. The Mask Leader said.
"Master Xie. The hundred households named Wang Yuan whispered a word and bowed to the leader secretly.
Not far away, on the street, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like hoarfrost, and everyone on the street was a cold color.
A man and a woman stood back to back in the cold wind, panting, too many wounds had been added to their bodies.
Around the man and woman, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying in a circle, but outside these corpse circles, there were more people with weapons surrounding them, constantly rushing up, and each time they killed someone, they would also leave one or several wounds on their bodies.
The battle began to continue again, the frequency of the two counterattacks has become lower and lower, the man is the most poisoned, and the sword qi that usually comes with the thought has long been unable to be issued because of the exhaustion of internal force, and the woman is not much better, she was the fourth Lingyue Palace Lord on the ground list, and the stunt of the two hands with the same positive and negative cloud splitting palm can only hurt the other party by touching the enemy's body, in a word, they run out of oil and the lamp is dry, if a miracle can happen, there is a hero who suddenly came to the rescue, or the holy medicine rebirth pill used to save people before, they can still kill it, but is there a miracle in this world?
The martial artists practiced watching and listening to all directions, and the leader of the mask came over with heavily armed men and horses, and was already seen by the people present.
The masked leader walked step by step, each step was steady, each step was as unhurried as if it had been crossed with a ruler, but in the eyes of the man and woman, each step approached, and they were one step closer to the abyss.
The masked leader approached, and everyone temporarily jumped out of the circle and stopped attacking, waiting for the leader's order while taking the opportunity to catch their breath.
"Cao Zhen?" said in the mask leader's deep voice, and after a pause, he said, "Tang Qiushui?"
"It's us, why are you Dongchang going to kill everything, what do you want?" the man with the sword shouted to the leader.
The masked leader made a gesture without replying, and in an instant, countless glittering arrows attacked the couple from all directions, sealing even the space above their heads.
The man with the sword hurriedly stepped on the Qiankun Bagua diagram to dodge with his body, and at the same time waved his hand to dial the arrows, knocked out the two arrows and crossbows, and the arm trembled, and then when he dialed the third one, one was not careful, the sword fell from his hand, and there was no protective weapon, "poof~poof~poof~" Three arrows and crossbows in a row shot into the man's body.
The woman behind the man dodged most of the arrows and crossbows by relying on her wonderful body technique, but the poisoning was too deep, and her internal force paused, and her body was crooked, and she was also shot through the thigh and waist by two arrows.
"Really....... Humble.......... ......." the man cursed in a pool of blood, and he crawled towards the place where the woman had fallen, and he wanted to die by his lover's side.
"Poof~" Blood splashed, a young man in a brocade robe jumped over and raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand, stabbed into the heart of Cao Zhen, the ninth place on the heavenly list, from the back, and then pulled it out with an indifferent face, thought about it and wiped Cao Zhen's neck again, this time the blood flowed less, as if Cao Zhen's blood had been cleaned.
At the same time, Tang Qiushui, who ranked fourth on the land list, was also cut by another middle-aged brocade-robed person, and they did not die together until death.
"My family motto used to be, I only spoke to the dead on the battlefield. The masked leader didn't make a single move from beginning to end, and nodded to the rooftops around him.
"Whoosh whoosh~~~" All the brocade-clothed people took out their dead-end crossbows and shot more dense crossbow arrows than just now, and the surrounding horses, whether they were probes just now or the outlaws who came for the bounty, were shot one by one, and then the brocade-clothed people who carried back the crossbow rushed over, and as before, they accurately wiped the necks of each person in the end, neatly and uniformly, with a cruel beauty.
"Wang Zhi. The Mask Leader said.
"Adults, villains are here. From behind the leader, the hundred households just now hurriedly bowed down and waited for the order.
"Clean it and leave no traces. The masked leader hollow let out a muffled voice.
"Yes, my lord," Wang Zhi nodded to acknowledge.
"The cubs of the beast did not see it, and said that they would kill them all, and they would do it. The Mask Leader said flatly.
"Yes, my lord, the villain just saw that there was no place to hide the baby nearby, and it should be that they went into the city to hide the baby when we were not watching. Wang Zhi bowed his head in response.
"You're right, you send someone to tell the city lord, just say that I, Mr. Yin, want all the black-haired and black-eyed babies in the city, whether male or female, to be handed over to the Metropolitan Protectorate within three days, and then Feige told Master Pei that the matter was handed over to him. The mask leader, who calls himself Mr. Yin, said to his subordinates.
"Yes, sir. Wang Zhi bowed again.
"Prepare the horse to go back to the city, and take the first class of these two people to go back to Beijing on a bus trip. Mr. Yin commanded.
"Oh~" The brocade clothes who have finished cleaning the battlefield salute together.
