Chapter 24: Night Attack
Li Quanying took the master of Dongchang to the outside of the barren grass set on this day. "This is the Wild Grass Collection?" asked Li Quanying, holding his horse.
"It's Dutou!"
"Our people lost contact here?" Li Quanying said with a frown, his eyes looking at this dirt town deep in the desert. Due to the erosion of wind and sand, the original wall of more than one zhang was of different heights and was seriously damaged. Through the broken part of the wall, you can see the dilapidated houses in the barren grass set. There was not a single pedestrian on the street, and the whole barren grass market felt quite weird.
"It's Dutou, why don't you bring someone to investigate first?"
"No need, let's go!" Li Quanying restrained his desire to enter. According to the intelligence, there should be many martial arts people gathered in the Wild Grass Collection, but now no one has seen it, and the seemingly calm Wild Grass Collection is full of murderous opportunities. His instincts told him that Arakusa was like an open-mouthed monster that would swallow everyone who went in. Although the desert is barren, it is not only barren grass that can be camped. As Li Quanying led the team away, the outside of the barren grass set also quieted down.
"Big brother, just now there was a team of people stationed outside the market, but then they didn't come in and left!"
"Don't care about them, as long as people don't enter the barren grass market, we don't need to make a move! Let the bloody clothes building have a headache!" After Yan Shan finished speaking, he took the wine bowl and drank it dry.
It was getting dark, and Li Quanying took the people in Dongchang to find a campsite. It is backed by a mountain of mud and sand that has been eroded by wind and sand, and there are some wild grass and sea buckthorn at the bottom of the mountain.
"I'll camp here tonight!" Li Quanying turned over and dismounted, and the people of Dongchang gathered the horses in a circle, and lit a bonfire with wild grass and dead branches in the center of the circle. Although it was April, the desert night was still a little cold.
"Dutou, drink saliva!" Yuan Fang held the kettle with both hands, and Li Quanying took it and opened the stopper and took a sip.
"Yuan Fang, do you think this Loulan ruins are fake?"
"Dutou, my subordinates think that this matter is very strange. ”
"Oh, let's talk about it!"
"Yes, you think, we have traveled all the way, and there were many martial arts people before entering the desert, but after approaching the desert, we have never encountered them. Then there is the barren grass set, which should have been a gathering place for martial artists, but now it is deserted. ”
"You're right, don't fancy you so much!" Li Quanying said with a smile.
"It's all about cultivation!"
"Go! Let everyone be smart. After eating, rest early, I'm afraid it won't be clean tonight!"
"Dutou, you mean..."
"I hope I'm thinking too much!"
It was almost mid-April, and a full moon hung high in the sky. Under the moonlight, five black shadows galloped through the desert. Whoosh ~ whoo ~ The sound of breaking the air sounded only to hear, and the person was long gone. As they approached, the shadows finally arrived at the destination of their trip, near the hillside where everyone in Dongchang was resting. After a short rest, the five of them drew their swords and tiptoed towards the camp of Dongchang.
Li Quanying is closing his eyes to recuperate, he has always had a feeling of being watched by people since he arrived in the barren grass market today, and this feeling has become stronger after the evening. Suddenly, there was a sound in his ears that broke the sky, "What person!" Li Quanying opened his eyes and shouted.
"Ahh
Li Quanying withdrew his sword and jumped up, and the people in Dongchang also picked up their weapons, standing behind Li Quanying and staring at the five black-clothed men standing not far from the opposite side.
"Bloody Clothes Building, do you really want to fight the court endlessly?" asked Li Quanying sharply.
"We're just doing what we're told. Needless to say, it's time to send you on your way. After speaking, the black-clothed man at the head shook his sword and swooped straight at Li Quanying. The four men in black in the back killed the remaining elites of the East Factory.
Li Quanying picked up the sword of the man in black with a sword, and the sword turned and slashed the right hand of the man in black. The man in black stepped and twisted his waist to "hey" a dry land onion, dodged the sword, and then fell to the side and stabbed to death a Dongchang master who was blocking with a sword from behind.
Li Quanying was furious, and he stabbed when he was distracted by his sword. Unexpectedly, he was easily dodged by the man in black. Li Quanying's subordinates are all the elites of the East Factory, and their kung fu must not be bad! However, in the face of the killers of the Bloody Clothes Building, they have fallen behind everywhere. Li Quanying saw that he couldn't help the other party, so he could only watch him slaughter his subordinates unscrupulously. "Don't hide if you have the guts!" Li Quanying roared angrily. However, the man in black did not respond to him, and continued to wander around, looking for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to his opponent.
"Everyone get together! Don't disperse!" In fact, without him shouting, Yuan Fang had already stood back to back with the remaining six masters, and three of them were all hung up. From the fight to the present, it is only a cup of tea, and 8 Dongchang masters have died under the killer sword.
"Stop! Stop!" shouted Li Quanying. "As long as you stop, I will immediately lead people out of the desert. Dongchang will not hold you accountable for the bloody cloak building, and can still cooperate with you!"
"Stop!" the leader of the men in black raised his hand, and the other four men in black stopped their movements and monitored several people on the opposite side. "You mean cooperation?"
"Yes, cooperation. Dongchang can help you deal with official things, and you can help Dongchang solve some troubles privately!"
"What can you do as the master of the East Factory?"
"Most of the heads of the East Factory are my stepfather. I can convince him!"
"Okay, you come with me, let your men put down their weapons!, you four are here watching them!" After the leader of the men in black gave his order, he left Tushan with Li Quanying.
The two of them galloped all night and came to an oasis deep in the desert. The oasis is small in size, there is a lake, several houses and a large mansion by the lake. The two stopped at the gate of the house, and the man in black turned to Li Quanying and said, "The fate of you and your subordinates depends on whether you live or die! After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was also a man in black. The two didn't talk when they met, just nodded to each other.
Huang Er led Li Quanying closer to the door, and the man in black who opened the door closed the door, and then hid in the shadows in the corner.
"You wait here!" asked Li Quanying to wait under the porch, and Huang Er entered the room after speaking. After waiting for a while, Huang Er pushed the door out and walked up to Li Quanying and said, "Come in with me!"
Li Quanying followed Huang Er into the house, and a middle-aged man sat on the chair facing the master in the room. After Huang Er entered the house, he walked directly behind this person and stood still. Li Quanying stepped forward to observe this person, and saw that he had a ruddy complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a beard with sideburns and cheeks that looked very powerful.
"Uh-huh!" the middle-aged man coughed and said, "You are Li Quanying?"
"Exactly!" replied Li Quanying.
"I am Lei Zhen, the left protector of the Bloody Cloak Building, you may not have my name! I haven't stepped into the rivers and lakes for twenty years!" Lei Zhen paused after speaking, and then continued: "I heard Huang Er say that Dongchang wants to cooperate with our Bloody Cloak Building. That's what you said?"
"It's down there!"
"Well, it's good that young people have ideas! But can you represent Dongchang?"
"In the next is the capital of the East Factory, and most of the heads of the East Factory are the father-in-law of the Lower Factory!"
"Father-in-law and son-in-law are not reliable! Presumably your father-in-law is not the only son of you?"
"My father-in-law does have two more sons, but I have another relationship with my father-in-law!"
"Oh, that's fresh, let's hear it!" Lei Zhen said with interest.
According to my father's lifetime, before his father-in-law entered the palace, he was raised by my grandfather. After my father and grandfather died, I was his only relative in the world!"
