Chapter 29 The Enemy of Terror
The officers and soldiers of the Fang Mansion and the family members saw that the magistrate was killed, Fang Tianxiao fled, and Qiu Mingyuan had defeated everyone in the field in a few moves just now, so they all lost their fighting spirit and abandoned their swords and surrendered.
Lin Yuanqing ran in the direction that Zhou Fei was chasing, along the way he saw weapons and hidden weapons scattered on the ground, as well as blood stains, after turning into an alley, he tripped over it, looked down and looked down, and suddenly his eyes erupted into fire, and the two helpers who should have been here before fell to the ground, the dark red blood gathered into a pool under them, and there was a small crossbow arrow stuck in the necks of both of them, the same as the crossbow arrow that Fang Tianxiao shot Tang Zhixian, Lin Yuanqing gritted his teeth with hatred, and rushed forward.
It didn't take long to come to the north gate of the town, only to see Zhou Fei standing there looking around, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Zhou Fei, where is the old thief Fang Tianxiao?!"
Zhou Fei squatted down at this moment, carefully checked the surrounding ground, stood up after looking at it for a long time, and said: "I don't know, I lost it on the way to chase him just now, but he was injured by my hidden weapon, I followed the bloodstains all the way to the vicinity, but found that there was no trace of anyone passing here." ”
"Will he cover it up?"
"No way, I've already arrived here as fast as I can, there's no way he's covering up the tracks in such a short time, not to mention that he's injured. ”
"And where will he flee now?"
"I don't know, but as long as the person is still hiding in the town, it can be found, so let's do a good search. ”
"Good!"
"Remember, this person's martial arts skills are not high, but he has a hidden weapon mechanism on his body, and if you don't pay attention, you may catch his way... Our two brothers ... Be careful!"
"Hmm!" Lin Yuanqing thought of the two corpses he had just seen, and clenched the knife in his hand.
Zhou Fei is good at light work and good at observation, so he rises and falls, and keeps watching from the roof, while Lin Yuanqing carefully searches for possible hiding places, and the two slowly walk back cautiously and quietly.
Lin Yuanqing came to the place where the bloodstains disappeared, here was a small crossroads, the four intersections were narrow and slender, the walls next to them were two people high, the bloodstains were intermittently connected into a line on the road, and there were also traces of bloody handprints on the walls on both sides, but they disappeared out of thin air in the middle of the intersection.
"Fang Tianxiao, this person's martial arts are not strong and his body is bloated, he is injured, he must be inconvenient to move, and there are no traces on the surrounding walls, strange, where did he go?" Lin Yuanqing observed the other three alleys, and said without raising his head.
Zhou Fei looked at it carefully on the wall, and said after a while: "Well, if you go up the wall, you will inevitably leave blood stains, but I have seen it, and it is not." After speaking, he took out the map and looked at it, and said to himself: "The alleys on both sides are dead ends, and only this road leads to the north entrance of the town, where did you flee to?" ”
Lin Yuanqing saw that there was a map, and hurriedly shouted Zhou Fei to come down and let himself take a look, only to see that the entire terrain of Anxi Town was completely drawn on the map, which marked the route and ambush location of this operation, and even other buildings were also marked in detail, he carefully checked the surrounding terrain of his place, although the terrain here is not complicated, but there are many dwellings, if you want to hide, it is convenient, but there are only two of them, and it is extremely inconvenient to explore.
When the two of them were at a loss, Lin Yuanqing suddenly noticed that there was a small ink dot in the courtyard of a house northeast of the intersection where they were on the map, which was extremely inconspicuous, but there was no one in other houses, and he couldn't help asking, "What does this ink dot mean?"
"What's the point of this, it's nothing more than accidentally splashing it. Zhou Fei took a closer look before he saw it, and said absent-mindedly.
"No, if you look at the whole map, every building is marked in detail, and it doesn't make sense that so many words have been spilled, and where such a small house has been written, it is not reasonable. Lin Yuanqing carefully checked the map again and found that there was only a small ink spot here.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Fei also discovered this after listening to Lin Yuanqing's words, and roughly understood one or two things in his heart.
"Where did you get this map?"
"It was given by Lord Ou. ”
"What? This map was drawn by Lord Ou?"
"No, I heard that Qiu Daxia painted it, he is a beggar, so it is extremely convenient to explore all parts of the town, so it took a long time to draw the entire town, but later the map was redeveloped by Lord Ou and sent to us several copies. ”
"Meaning this is not the original painting, right? Then it is even more impossible to reproduce this ink dot, I think there is something wrong with this house. Lin Yuanqing thought about it and said.
"Well, let's go check it out. Zhou Fei heard Lin Yuanqing's analysis at this moment, and he also sensed that something was wrong.
The two walked over slowly, gently pushed the door, and then opened, Lin Yuanqing entered first, and Zhou Fei followed closely with a bone nail in his hand.
The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the doors of the house were in tatters, and the windows were all down, and after making sure that no one was there, they came to the southwest corner of the courtyard where the ink dots were, where there was only a dry well, and they looked down along the rope and saw a wooden barrel floating in the well, but with it a foul smell.
"Hey, if Fang Tianxiao is willing to jump into this well, then I really admire him!" Zhou Fei covered his nose and frowned.
"Uh... No, I've been to Fang Mansion before, Fang Tianxiao seems to have a habit of cleanliness, according to him, it is estimated that even if the knife is on his neck, he will not jump into it. Lin Yuanqing also covered his nose and said.
The two were about to go into the house to check it out, Lin Yuanqing raised his head, his eyes fell on the wooden frame above the wellhead, and suddenly saw that there was a place on the wooden frame that was free of dust.
Lin Yuanqing excitedly grabbed Zhou Fei's shoulders and pointed to the wooden frame, Zhou Fei looked at his fingers, and then said "Oh!", the two glanced at each other, reached out and pulled up the wooden barrel in the well, and saw a few drops of blood at the bottom of the wooden barrel.
So Zhou Fei ripped off a sleeve and covered his nose and jumped into the barrel, Lin Yuanqing slowly put the barrel down, and when he put it halfway, he heard Zhou Fei shouting: "Yuanqing, come down quickly, there is a secret passage here!"
After Lin Yuanqing came down, he found that this secret passage was built on the wall of the well, just enough for one person to pass through, and they saw that there were indeed fresh blood stains under their feet, and their hearts were ecstatic, and they slowly touched forward.
After walking for a long time, the two came to an empty secret room, this secret room is square in shape, the space is huge, the walls around it are bare except for a few torches burning, there is nothing bare, there are several large boxes in the middle of the secret room, each box is empty, they can only keep checking the walls, hoping to find a mechanism to open the passage to other places.
At this time, the box in the middle was suddenly opened, and the two of them hurriedly hid behind the box next to them, only to hear Fang Tianxiao's roar: "Didn't you say what kind of 'Wuji Gong' you practice?!Use internal force for your own use, and then hit the enemy hard?!Why did you escape back now?!"
"Hmph, there are many people on the other side, and my two fists are hard to beat with four hands. A shrill voice answered him.
"The lord asked you to protect me! It's okay now! The thin man probably won't survive, and you waste has also escaped!"
"Surnamed Fang, you speak carefully, the lord sent us to protect you, but in fact we are spying on you, if your performance is not satisfactory to the lord, we will find someone to replace you at any time. The shrill voice revealed a hint of coldness.
"Threaten me?!Martial arts skills are amazing, you can make money if you know martial arts?!You need to use your brains to make money!In the end, you brainless guys don't have to listen to me?!" Fang Tianxiao roared until he was hoarse.
"Bang!" sounded, Lin Yuanqing heard something hit a wooden box, and then Fang Tianxiao roared: "Mu Ziran! You dare to hit Lao Tzu?! Ahh
Lin Yuanqing said in his heart: "It's not good! Zhou Fei has been discovered!" Standing up, he saw that the fat man named Mu Ziran had already flown in front of Zhou Fei, and stretched out his hand to take Zhou Fei's neck like electricity.
At that time, Zhou Fei was hiding behind the box and eavesdropping, and suddenly the wooden box on his head smashed down on him, and the unguarded smash made his eyes dark, and then he heard Fang Tianxiao's exclamation and the sound of his sleeves breaking in the air flying towards him, and without thinking about it, he rolled to the side, blinked his eyes a few times and regained his vision, only to see that Mu Ziran's entire arm had been inserted into the wooden box, and a carp turned backwards to widen the distance.
Fang Tianxiao sat on the ground, the left side of his face was already high and swollen, it was done by Mu Ziran, who was annoyed and angry just now, but he didn't care about it now, he just kept shouting: "Kill them! Kill them!"
Mu Ziran pulled out his arm, kicked away Fang Tianxiao, who kept screaming beside him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Yuanqing and Zhou Fei, and sneered: "The two little mice dare to chase after them?!" ”
When Lin Yuanqing was fighting in the Fang Mansion, he had noticed that Mu Ziran was fighting with Qiu Mingyuan and Ou Suifeng, although it seemed that his martial arts were not as good as the other party, but he was much higher than himself, and he couldn't escape now, so he could only join forces with Zhou Fei to defeat him.
Thinking of this, he clenched the short knife and said softly: "Zhou Fei, it's a battle against the water." ”
Zhou Fei didn't reply, but just hung the hidden weapons on his body around his waist and said, "Well, I know." ”
Mu Ziran laughed and said, "You two are quite self-aware, but even if you add it up, it's in vain, so hurry up and let me solve the two of you." ”
Zhou Fei raised his hand and shot two penetrating nails at Mu Ziran's eyes, Mu Ziran snorted coldly, and after a while, the sleeves of the robe knocked down the hidden weapon, and the sleeves of the robe covered his eyes for only a short moment, when he regained his vision again, he only saw Zhou Fei jumping in the air and rushing towards him, and the hidden weapon in his hand kept throwing, and Lin Yuanqing was close to the ground, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and rushed towards him, but a little cold light was exposed under his left armpit to remind Mu Ziran that if he was not careful, Lin Yuanqing's move might cut off his legs.
Mu Ziran shouted, his left leg retreated, his arms stretched out, kept rotating and waving the sleeves of his robe, taking all of Zhou Fei's hidden weapons, and then raised his hands high, drew a big circle, and threw all the hidden weapons in the sleeves of the robe towards Lin Yuanqing.
Lin Yuanqing saw the hidden weapon in front of him but did not dodge, his right hand swung out like lightning, splitting the nearest few hidden weapons, and then straightened his right arm, his left hand and left foot touched the ground at the same time, and his body spun rapidly, "Ping Pong" There was a chaotic sound, Lin Yuanqing actually blocked all the hidden weapons, this move was realized by him through Hong Er's soul breaking knife The last "escape" was realized.
Blocking the hidden weapon, his momentum continued unabated, his right leg kicked the ground, and his body accelerated towards Mu Ziran, and Zhou Fei in the air also rushed in front of him, stabbing his head with a dagger in his left hand, and several bone nails in his right hand also shot into his chest.
And Mu Ziran was too late to take the hidden weapon at this moment, so he could only raise the sleeve of the robe to block the hidden weapon, and after a few bone-piercing nails pierced the sleeve of the robe, he fell to the ground weakly.
Lin Yuanqing's short knife was about to stab Mu Ziran's right leg, but Mu Ziran raised his right leg high backwards to avoid Lin Yuanqing's knife, and his body bent forward in a straight line with his right leg, dodging Zhou Fei's dagger.
At this moment, Mu Ziran used his left foot as the fulcrum, and his right leg was thrown to his left very quickly, and his body kept in a straight line with his right leg, and his right leg was quickly raised, and it was swept towards Zhou Fei, who was still in the air.
Zhou Fei didn't expect that the other party would be able to dodge him and Lin Yuanqing's attacks in one move and then counterattack, and there was no way to deal with it for a while, so he could only put his arms together to block his side, and he took a solid kick, and was kicked off and hit the wall hard.
Mu Ziran, who had succeeded, still didn't stop, and with the help of the force of the blow of kicking Zhou Fei, he stopped turning stiffly, and his palms fell, slapping Lin Yuanqing's back.
Lin Yuanqing also didn't expect Mu Ziran to be so strong, but it was too late to turn around and defend, and he was busy with his internal strength, and then he felt a huge shock from his back, and his body flew forward involuntarily, and then his internal organs seemed to be displaced, and he slammed into the wall in front of him, and a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out, and he fell to his knees.
Mu Ziran hit the two of them hard in one move, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Two little ghosts who don't know whether they are dead or alive still want to fight with me? I'll send you to see the king of Hades." ”
After speaking, he walked towards Lin Yuanqing, Lin Yuanqing stood up with a strong mind, raised his knife and slashed at Mu Ziran's shoulder, Mu Ziran sneered, just wanted to raise his hand to brush the short knife away, but his hand was halfway up but he couldn't lift it, and when he looked at it, his robe sleeve was tightly pulled by several steel wires, and Zhou Fei at the other end of the steel wire gritted his teeth and dragged it tightly.
Seeing that a knife was about to be chopped, it was too late to dodge, Mu Ziran's shoulders were high, and he shouted loudly, he was going to take this knife hard!
Lin Yuanqing was not polite, he shouted with enough internal force to slash down, the blade entered the flesh an inch, but he couldn't cut it anymore, Lin Yuanqing was horrified in his heart.
Mu Ziran shouted again, Lin Yuanqing at close range could feel the true qi mixed with the sound spurting out of the other party's mouth, as if a strong wind was blowing on his face and causing pain, he wanted to pull out the knife and retreat, but he couldn't pull it out, and the tiger's mouth felt numb, and the other party's internal force had already passed along the blade.
When Lin Yuanqing was still in shock, he felt the pressure in front of him, and saw that Mu Ziran still slashed at his chest with one palm, if this palm was split, the bones in his chest were estimated to be slag, thinking of this, he subconsciously let go and jumped away, and he could avoid this palm.
But the palm wind still hit him, and his chest was torn like pain, and he pulled away and clutched his chest and legs, and knelt down again.
Mu Ziran pulled out the knife and threw it aside, his body straightened, only to see the muscles at the wound bulge and squirm, and the blood flowing from the wound gradually stopped, leaving only a blood-colored trace after a while.
Lin Yuanqing and Zhou Fei were shocked when they saw this scene, the strength of the other party was beyond their imagination.
After Mu Ziran stopped the bleeding, he looked at Lin Yuanqing, showed a gloomy smile, and said slowly: "Do you have any other plans? ”
