Chapter 2: A Nightmare Halfway through
Lao Huang listened to Ma Youjin's words, but his face was embarrassed, and he said: "Ma Daxia, don't you know, the day before yesterday, a few guests came and chartered two upper rooms, and I am afraid that this upper room is not enough." ”
A dart master named Hu Dachun next to him shouted: "Tell them to let go of the upper room, and we will make up for you how much silver!" Ma Youjin thought about it, stopped Hu Dachun, turned his head and asked: "What kind of guest is it? Where is the accent? What kind of way does it come from?" Lao Huang glanced in the direction of the upper room from a distance, and said in a low voice: " Back to the horse's words, a total of three people, two strong men and a child, Beijing accent, wearing brocade robes, not like ordinary people's children and slaves, for some reason, three people came here, actually did not ride horses, all the way from the mountains, covered with dust, the child was tired, the day before yesterday came to the store, yesterday morning tired can not get up, the two strong men urged for a long time, had to rest for two days first, this morning, the villain's daughter Shan'er went to deliver food, but also heard them say, tomorrow dawn must go, can not wait。 Eighty percent are hiding from the enemy. Ma Youjin asked, "Isn't it a photographer who abducts and sells children?" Lao Huangdao: "No, that child is a teenager, how can he abduct him?" Besides, the two men were quite respectful to the child in their words, and they were definitely not photographing flowers. Ma Youjin frowned and said secretly: "Even if you are hiding from the enemy, why don't you tell the government?" It is estimated that it is just to avoid gambling debts, it is expected that the dart game is here, and those who gamble do not dare to come to the door to make trouble", turned around and said: "It is not easy to walk the rivers and lakes, let them live in a room, you can find me two more side rooms." Lao Huang nodded in agreement.
At dusk, Lao Huang stewed the chicken and served it in a large basin, Lao Huang's craftsmanship was good, and the meat in the big pot was fragrant. Ma Youjin asked someone to fill two plates of chicken and a pot of wine, and brought it to the two upper rooms by himself, knocking lightly on the door. A shout came from the room and asked, "What's the matter?" Ma Youjin said with a haha: "Under is the guest next door, there is a way to be brothers in the four seas, I heard that the three are detained here, the younger brother came to see if there is anything that needs help, and by the way, I will send some wine and food to the guests." There was a faint sound of a blade unsheathed in the room, and then someone whispered, "Don't be reckless." With the sound of the door buckle, the door opened more than a foot wide, someone stretched out his head, this person was thin, full of alertness in his eyes, he first looked around, and said with a smile: "Thank you for this big brother, it's just that we have occasionally felt cold these days, and we don't eat wine and meat, so it's bothering the big brother to bring the wine and meat back, so thank you for it." Without waiting for Ma Youjin to speak, the man shrank back and closed the door gently.
At the moment when the person closed the door, Ma Youjin took the opportunity to look into the room, only to see a young man sleeping on the couch, and a burly man, standing by the **couch with a knife. Although it was boring, Ma Youjin put his mind at ease, these people, especially those two men, although they are martial artists, they are not people in the rivers and lakes, but they are quite like the style of military formations. These people are either the personal soldiers of the prince's mansion or the errand servants. I will never do anything like a cut path and rob darts. He easily brought the wine and meat into his room and ate it beautifully.
That night, after dinner, it was natural to arrange people to keep vigil according to the rules, and Ma Youjin returned to the bedroom and slept in his clothes after arranging. When he fell asleep, he suddenly woke up, a hint of foreboding hit his heart, immediately turned over and stood up, pushed the window to look, only to see more than a dozen masked black-robed people with swords standing in the courtyard, the two night vigil dart masters had been cut to death, the blood on the neck was still gushing out, although these two people are not profound, but they are by no means mediocre. was killed silently.
This is no small surprise. Ma Youjin shouted: "Someone has robbed the dart! Copy the guy!" The sound of "crackling" sounded, and the dart masters broke through the doors and windows and jumped out of the room. When the black-robed man led by him saw everyone coming out, not only did he not retreat, but chattered and laughed: "Hehe, the old men waited for a few days on the way, and they disappeared, and they thought they had missed it.
Ma Youjin shouted in a deep voice: "In the Xia Shunfeng Dart Bureau Ma Youjin, where is Your Excellency on the road?" The black-robed man did not answer, turned his head and shouted: "Kill them together! The black-robed men immediately swung their swords and rushed forward, and the two executioners standing in front of them had no time to resist before their heads fell to the ground in an instant.
Ma Youjin knew that today's situation was endless, so he pushed Ma Beibei, who had just come out of his clothes, to the back wall with his backhand, and led the dart master to meet the executioner to fight. Although there are a large number of people in the Shunfeng dart game, and the dart masters also have their own unique skills, the opponent's swordsmanship is extremely strange. Do not touch with the blade, never hear a trace of gold and iron in the fight, the long sword in the hand every time in the dart master's tricks flawed, suddenly handed out, the sword pointed to the heart and throat, etc., the middle of the instant death. In a few breaths, a cadre of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau and others had already ambushed the corpse on the spot, Ma Youjin relied on his strong martial arts and rich experience, and barely supported it, Rao is so, and several bloody wounds were also cut under the shoulders and ribs, and the bones were deeply visible.
Ma Beibei was frightened for a while, and the blood courage of the martial arts practitioner was stimulated, picked up a single knife, and rushed to block his father. Ma Youjin shouted angrily: "Silly boy, don't go over the wall and leave!" Ma Beifang raised his head and said: "Didn't my father say that since ancient times, there was no bad breed who abandoned the dart and left? It's a big deal to die together. Ma Youjin laughed miserably when he heard this: "Good boy, there is a kind!" The black-robed man sneered: "There is already a defense line around it, and even if you can't get out, you can't get out." After that, the figure was as fast as a ghost, and suddenly, a sword stabbed at Ma Youjin's throat, and this sword was as fast as lightning and could not be avoided.
Only the sound of breaking the sky was heard in his ears, and the black-robed man immediately volleyed back, but it was too late, and he saw three crossbow arrows piercing his heart, and the body of the black-robed man fell to the ground. Thirteen other iron-spine crossbow arrows were fired at the rest, and three more black-robed men were shot to the ground. The rest of the black-robed people exclaimed: "Iron Spine Eight-Shot Crossbow!" Ma Youjin was desperate, and quickly pulled Ma Bei to take a few steps back, and turned his head to look. I saw the two men standing against the door with bows and crossbows, and the young man who slept on the couch during the day was trembling and hiding behind him. This kind of iron-spine eight-shot crossbow is eight iron-core arrows as soon as it is fired, the power is amazing, it was originally a unique military array weapon of the Rest of the Dadu Protectorate, and the people have no more. These two men actually have an iron spine and a crossbow, and they have an extraordinary background. Ma Youjin suddenly felt that he had inadvertently been involved in a whirlpool that he should not have been involved in.
The two men looked back at the young man and said, "If Gongzi Li has the life to return to Anxi, please tell General Tian that Afu Agui has done his best." Anyway, pull the trigger, another gust of wind, sixteen iron-ridged crossbow arrows shot at the black-robed man, this time there was a defense, only one person was shot, although the iron-ridged eight-shot crossbow was extremely powerful, but it was a fatal flaw, that is, the upper bowstring was slow, so, after shooting, Ah Fu Agui simply threw the iron-ridged eight-shot crossbow on the face, drew out his waist knife and rushed to the black-robed man, taking advantage of the chaos to cut down the two.
Ma Youjin saw that these two men were ruthless in their knife skills, and they fought straight forward with one move and one style, and there was no trick in the skills of the rivers and lakes, so he knew that it was the knife technique in the rest army. If this kind of knife technique is in the military formation, it will be infinitely lethal, but if it is fighting in the flat ground, it is far less flexible and mobile than the skills of the rivers and lakes. After a few moves, the black-robed man coveted the flaw, the sword light flickered, and it was handed over from the crack of the knife like a spiritual snake, and Ah Fu Agui instantly sprinkled blood.
The reason why these two people were able to kill the black-robed man just now was that the black-robed man acted inappropriately in a panic, and second, Ah Fu Agui's knife technique was exquisitely coordinated. After the black-robed man reacted, Ah Fu and Agui could no longer resist, and after a while, one in the center and one in the throat, both died. Ma Youjin saw that the black-robed man was slightly chaotic, and immediately seized the opportunity to pull Ma Beifang to wave a knife into the formation, a black-robed body flashed a blade on one side, raised his hand, only to see the cold light flashed, Ma Youjin's heart tightened, a dart has been inserted in the heart, he couldn't help but snort, fell to the ground, Ma Beifang saw his father fall, his eyes were cracked, he hugged his father on the ground, but Ma Youjin was already breathing, Ma Beifang has always had a strong personality, and now he has suffered this great change, he still held back his tears, pulled out a butterfly dart from his father's heart with trembling hands, and held it in his hand。
Another black-robed person broke into the other rooms of the inn and searched them one by one, and after a while, two screams came from Lao Huang's house, obviously Lao Huang and his wife had been poisoned, and after a while, someone walked into the courtyard with Huang Shan, who was frightened. The black-robed man surrounded Ma Beibei, Huang Shan and the son surnamed Li, although the son surnamed Li was thin, but his temperament was stubborn, although he was afraid, he still shouted: "You eagle dogs, you are only going to kill this son, why do you implicate the innocent." Ma Beifang originally thought that these black-robed people were some robbers and robbers, but at this time, he knew that the deaths of his father and other uncles and uncles were actually affected by this person, and he couldn't help but be angry, trembling and unable to speak. A black-robed man came out of the crowd and sneered: "Prince Li Chongyuan, you are a little bold at a young age, for the sake of the cowardice, the old man will do it himself, and you will not suffer with a sword piercing the heart." With that, the sword stabbed distractedly.
Li Chongyuan knew that he was not immune today, so he simply did not dodge or dodge. Just as Li Chongyuan was waiting to die, but when he saw a flash of blue light, the black-robed man suddenly fell apart, and his bloody limbs were thrown into the air, as if he was being pulled apart by an extremely powerful force, and the other black-robed people immediately exclaimed and retreated. A young Taoist priest suddenly appeared, holding a long sword, like a butterfly through a flower, flying through the crowd, and everywhere he went, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Just now, those black-robed people were fierce and vicious, but now they were so frightened that they trembled, howling and running in all directions, these black-robed people have very high martial arts, and they can't fight against the enemy in the rivers and lakes with the old age of Ma Youjin, but they are vulnerable in front of this Taoist priest. The black-clothed man who fired the butterfly dart was slightly stunned when he saw the young Taoist's swordsmanship, and immediately turned around and flew away. The rest of the people were already in ambush with their swords in an instant. The young Taoist priest was about to pursue, when a middle-aged Taoist jumped down from the roof and said, "No need, although these people are vicious, they are also poor creatures driven by people, let him go." After that, when he saw the corpse on the ground, his face was unbearable, and he sighed: "The people of the world are vying for power and profit, and regard human life as a mustard, don't you know that after a hundred years, it will not be a cup of loess? He ordered the young Taoist priest to find a shovel, dug four big pits next to the inn, split the door panels, and talked about making tombstones. One burial of the Huang family, one burial of Ma Youjin and other people in the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, one burial of Ah Fu and Gui, and one burial of the dead black-robed man.
After finishing these days, it was already bright, Ma Beibei, Li Chongyuan, and Huang Shan knelt on the grave and cried to their relatives.
