Chapter 16: Breaking the Temple and Fighting to the Death

Wei Qing carefully discerned the footsteps outside, there were about ten people in total, the enemy searched around and found no abnormality, so he lit a fire and sat down, only to hear Li Hansheng say: "After a day's journey, just rest here for a while, although they didn't catch the three ideas to escape, but they are all on foot all the way, even if they get here, they have to try to avoid the rangers outside the city, I think I can't enter the city at this moment, we will be here to scrutinize the joints in the future, and then go in to earn the city."

After Wei Qing heard everyone outside agreeing in unison, Li Hansheng asked again: "Zhang Gongzi will tell everyone about the situation in the city, how to lure the defenders of Lu'an out of the city", Zhang Jingting replied in a low voice: "The villain is all up to the shaman, and everything is done according to orders."

Wei Qing secretly cursed "shameless" in his heart, and then couldn't help but think: "Fortunately, the three of my master and apprentice were able to escape, and when I go back, I will immediately expose your treacherous plan to Lord Lu, and when the time comes, I will plan to capture you in the city, and just use your heads to worship the spirit of Lord Cheng Helm in the sky."

At this time, Li Hansheng laughed a few times, and pretended to be bold and said: "Zhang Gongzi is a newly attached person, at this time, he is doing some credit to repay the second prince's kindness, if you can really help the second prince to capture Lu'an City, why worry about not being able to fly Huang Tengda in the future, maybe even I will have to rely on you more in the future, I think if you have any clever plans, you don't have to hide it anymore."

Zhang Jingting smiled bitterly: "The villain is fortunate to be able to save his life this time, how dare he expect to make any contributions, I just hope that after the army breaks through the city, the shaman can spare the Weibei Dart Bureau for the sake of the villain's hard work."

Li Hansheng chuckled and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, Zhang Gongzi has always been in love with his junior sister, so I will make the decision on this matter, and after the city is broken, I will marry your junior sister to you, so that you can always tell the clever plan in your chest with peace of mind."

Zhang Jingting replied: "I can't talk about the clever plan, but the villain feels that there were originally five people who went out of the city this time, and now I am the only one left to go back, Lu'an Prefecture Jiedu makes Lu Deng a fine and cautious person, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspicious, if he accidentally detects a flaw, it will not be beautiful, I think it is better to select elite people from the army to go straight to the water pass in the south of the city and kill into the city."

The temple was silent for a while, and after a while, I heard Li Hansheng say: "I have investigated the type of the city wall of Lu'an City, the water pass in the south is extremely narrow, and the army is not at all at the mercy of it, it is really useless, the Song army only needs hundreds of people to be able to defend it, if you want to sneak attack, there is a bell under the water to warn, it is difficult to approach quietly."

Zhang Jingting hurriedly explained: "My lord doesn't know, the bell of this Lu'an City Shuiguan was laid by the villain before leading the people, at that time, because it was difficult to collect enough bells for a while, there were a few places where there were none, and the adults could rest assured that they would follow the villain's guidance to select hundreds of elites to sneak over and ambush them", he then said with a little pride: " Moreover, the villain is very familiar with the Song army's water pass guard, knowing that he is a hereditary incompetent, when the villain said that there are many riders outside the city gates, and he can only enter the city from the water pass, and when the water pass is opened, the elite soldiers in ambush suddenly attack the pass, and the army follows closely into the city, why worry about this city is not broken."

Wei Qing was secretly frightened in his heart after hearing this, Zhang Jingting's strategy was really vicious, the water pass in the south of the city was not the key point of the Song army's city defense, and the number of soldiers guarding it was not much, if someone was deceived into opening the door and then carrying out a sneak attack, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

At this time, I only heard Li Hansheng clapping his hands and laughing: "It's really a good plan, if you can take Lu'an City this time, you should take Zhang Gongzi as the first credit", Zhang Jingting didn't dare to say anything. Li Hansheng then instructed his entourage: "Immediately go to the camp in the north of the city to explain this plan to the second prince, and ask that the army be mobilized to the south as soon as possible to stand by, and it is best to ask the second prince to send his tent to 'Hegu Meng'an' to sneak with me to ambush in front of the water pass."

The entourage took the order, Wei Qing was anxious but had nothing to do, he just hoped that the enemy outside could leave as soon as possible, so that he could immediately leave the city to inform the defenders to raise the water pass, but Li Hansheng said at this time: "I will wait and wait here to raise my spirit, and later when the people of 'Hegu Meng'an' arrive, I will go to the south of the city to take the pass."

Wei Qing was shocked when he heard this, if he just sat in this ruined temple and waited for the other party to prepare properly and leave before leaving, he would have to slowly avoid the enemy rangers along the way, but he was afraid that it would be too late in time. At this time, Lin Hu suddenly stretched out his finger beside Wei Qing and wrote on the dust on the ground, Wei Qing took advantage of the afterglow of the fire outside to shine under the Buddhist shrine, but it was "too late to enter the city, fight on the spot" eight words.

Wei Qing raised his eyes to look at Lin Hu, only to see that he was also staring at him with a resolute face, Wei Qing turned his head to look at Cao Lu again, the two looked at each other, and then they both gritted their teeth and nodded at Lin Hu.

The enemy outside was happily talking about how to loot and kill after entering the city, Lin Hu listened carefully to distinguish the location of everyone, and planned to kill Zhang Jingting by surprise, as long as he could be killed on the spot, then all the tricks of the Jin people would be in vain. Wei Qing knew that this battle of life and death was about to break out, he clenched his fists hard, stared at Lin Hu with his eyes, and waited for the master to take the lead in making a move, and he was about to follow behind and step forward to fight, only to see Lin Hu's eyebrows raised suddenly, and the tiger roared from under the Buddha shrine and suddenly jumped out coldly, gathering the strength of his whole body and slamming it at Zhang Jingting next to the fire.

Zhang Jingting didn't expect that there was an enemy within a few steps of him, and he was stunned in place, he didn't expect to dodge, and seeing that he was about to be killed by Lin Hu, a retinue warrior flew diagonally between the two, which was able to block Lin Hu's attacking palm power, but it was Li Hansheng who grabbed his companion next to him and threw it over to make a substitute for the dead ghost. Lin Hu's more than 30 years of palm cultivation is so powerful, the entourage warrior was immediately beaten to the bone and cracked, spurting blood and dying, but Zhang Jingting has been pulled behind by Li Hansheng to protect him, Wei Qing and Cao Lu also walked out from under the Buddha shrine and stood side by side beside Lin Hu at this time.

Li Hansheng took two steps forward and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the Lord of the Lin Helm 'Yanmen Tiger' for a long time, and it is rare to meet this opportunity today, and I also ask the Lord of the Lin Helm to give me advice", Lin Hu replied proudly: "You are a Han but you take refuge in the golden dog as a tiger, I should indeed teach you the truth of being a man who does not want to be a second Tartar of the ancestors."

The corners of Li Hansheng's mouth slanted, and he said contemptuously: "I am not your southern barbarian, I don't change my name or surname when I go down, I don't change my name when I go down, the shaman shaman of the Dajin Kingdom West Route Army is Ha Mi, the name Li Hansheng is just a pseudonym I took when I went south to spy on the military situation", Lin Hu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he said angrily: "You are no different from ordinary Han people in terms of accent and diet, and you do not show your feet at all when you dress up, since this is the case, it is even more difficult to keep you, lest you mix into other places in the Great Song Dynasty in the future."

Ha Mi Qi pulled out his long knife with a shake of his arms, and said proudly: "Then I will learn the famous stunt of Lord Lin Helm, the Broken Palm and the Five Elements Stick Method." Lin Hu didn't say much, he unfolded his stick technique and stepped forward to fight with Ha Mi Chi, Wei Qing and Cao Lu also roared loudly to protect both sides of the master, and fought with the rest of the other party.

Wei Qing has not yet learned the blade kung fu, not to mention a set of broken palm techniques can only learn the three styles of the hand, just as soon as the hand is defeated, but he is better than early to have the heart of death, as the so-called "one husband must die, ten people are invincible", several times in critical times all rely on a brave and the enemy to force the enemy to withdraw and dodge. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, Wei Qing and Cao Lu had already suffered several wounds, but they also killed two enemies on the spot, on the other side, Lin Hu and Ha Mi Chi were still inseparable, both of them were in the middle of the martial arts, although Lin Hu had a slight upper hand, but if he wanted to defeat Ha Mi Chi in one fell swoop, he didn't have hundreds of moves to go down.

Seeing that the battle could not be fought for a long time, Ha Mi Qi shouted: "Quickly take Zhang Gongzi to go first, rush to the south of the city to join the army, I will entangle them here", the two attendant warriors immediately pulled Zhang Jingting away from the battle group, turned around and walked outside the temple gate. Lin Hu was anxious, for fear of getting away from Zhang Jingting, so he desperately attacked several moves to force away from the Ha Mi, and then rushed straight to Zhang Jingting. At this moment, Ha Mi Qi also ignored Lin Hu, shouted: "Come on", jumped up and slammed at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was fighting fiercely with a golden warrior at this time, and seeing that Ha Mi Chi's palm was fierce, how could he resist the enemy if he slowed down, but he was afraid that he would be killed by the other party on the spot. Although Lin Hu accepted Wei Qing as an apprentice for only half a year, he actually loved this little apprentice in his heart, how could he watch him being killed by the enemy in front of his eyes, and immediately turned around and raised his stick to slash at Ha Mi's vest, just to force the other party to withdraw to protect himself by encircling Wei and saving Zhao. Hearing the wind behind him, he didn't look back, his right hand abandoned the knife and grabbed it with his backhand, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, he accurately clamped the long stick in Lin Hu's hand, and his left palm turned into a knife and plunged into Lin Hu's lower abdomen.

Lin Hu was caught off guard by the strange move that Ha Mi Chi struck out from his back, and he screamed and covered the wound on his stomach and took a few steps back before he stood firm, and after Ha Mi Chi got his hand, he turned around and laughed proudly: "Lord Lin Helm, this trick 'Niu Huang Intestine Pumping' in the lower district can still be entered into your magic eyes." Wei Qing hurriedly abandoned his opponent and retreated to support Lin Hu, Cao Lu stood next to him with a stick on guard, Lin Hu reached out to support Wei Qing's shoulder, and only after a while did he hate and say: "Don't get in the way, this guy is so poisonous and scheming, so weird martial arts."

Wei Qing cried: "They all blame me, the master fell for his tricks all to save me", Cao Lu whispered beside him: "Brother Qing'er is silent, don't show weakness at this time, don't let the enemy think that we can't hold on." Lin Hu's eyes widened violently when he heard this, he suddenly let go of the wound and stood upright, slammed the long stick in his hand to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Let's fight for another three hundred rounds."
