20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 187: Night of full moon, fast horse and scimitar
There is a full moon in the sky, and there are thousands of jackdaws.

In the northern suburbs of Fengtian City, there is an abandoned temple called Falun Temple in the North Tower.

The gray-white masonry pagoda, topped with a mottled gold-painted spire, points directly to the sky, while the cold moonlight reflects the shimmering light of the pagoda.

The north wind was raging, causing thousands of dead branches to sway from side to side. The shadows of the trees were dense, wandering back and forth on the ruined walls, as if they were trying to reach into the deserted temple and groping for something, but they were forced back by the firelight inside the wall.

The strong wind muffled the sounds of footsteps and breathing.

Not far away, there was an undercurrent surging, and about twenty people were rushing towards this direction.

Halfway through the journey, Bai Guoping suddenly raised his arm. When everyone stopped, he couldn't help but ask the person next to him: "Old Huang, are you sure the Jiang Xiaodao gang is hiding here?"

The man next to me is in his 40s, about five years old, with a skeletal face and cloudy eyes. Although he looks thin, if he rolls up the sleeves of his coat, the muscles on his forearms are as bulging as a washboard. There is no difference.

This person was nicknamed "Huang Lao Gou". Before the black blind man, he was the leader of the Bai family, but as he got older, he retreated to the second line and bullied the newcomers.

As the saying goes, there are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua becomes the vanguard.

The case of smashing up Bai's kiln in anger greatly damaged the vitality of the old Bai family. At this critical moment, the old guy had to get out of his sheath and fight for his life.

Hearing the young master's question, Huang Laogou quickly responded: "I have been watching the movements here for the past two days. Mr. Zhang Jiu did not lie. There is indeed a group of people here."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a younger brother beside him who echoed: "Master, this is it, it must be right! This morning, I saw that boy near Rongji Hat Shop on Siping Street. I followed him all the way to the north gate and looked at him. Coming this way.”

"Master, what are you afraid of? There are so many of us. If we kill them in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they won't be able to react!"

"You bastard! Am I afraid of that little brat of his?" Bai Guoping scolded, "I'm afraid. This is a trap set by Zhou Yunfu and that kid on us!"

His words are also what worries the eldest sister Bai Yuqing.

"Impossible, I've been stepping on the dishes for three days. Except for a few beggars passing by occasionally, no one else comes to this place at all." Huang Laogou said hurriedly, "Master, don't worry about the look in my eyes!"

Bai Guoping looked at his cloudy eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then called two skilled boys and ordered: "You two, go explore the wind first and see what's going on inside. Remember to be careful!"

The two boys received the command, nodded in response, and then immediately dispersed to the left and right, running towards the east and west side walls of the deserted Falun Temple, intending to climb the top of the wall to see what was going on inside.

Bai Guoping led the people and stayed where they were. After only one pack of cigarettes, he felt anxious.

When two crows flew up from the old tree behind him, the explorer finally turned back.

The two of them were excited and rushed to report.

It is said that in the Dharma Protector Hall of the abandoned temple of Falun Temple, the bonfire is still going out. Although I can't see the specific situation inside, I look diagonally in from the door of the hall and there are indeed two rows of people lying on the left and right, and only two people are standing at the door. The one who was following him was still dozing there.

Bai Guoping asked again: "Are you sure everyone is asleep?"

"Oh my God, young master, you don't even have to go in. You can hear the snoring inside just by scratching the wall. It makes a loud noise!"

After hearing this, Bai Guoping looked into the distance for a moment, and finally felt happy when he saw no one around.

"Brothers, please listen to me. Lao Huang and I will each lead a group of people. We will split into two groups, go around and meet at the front door. We will reveal everything about this guy, pull the bolt of the gun, and turn on the safety. After entering the door, we went straight to the Dharma Protector's Hall. I led my men to kill the two men watching the door first. Lao Huang led his men to rush in directly. No matter who it was, we had to hit him first! Who can kill Jiang Xiaodao tonight, young master? I will be rewarded heavily, do you understand?"

All the brothers took out their pistols and responded in a deep voice: "Kill Jiang Xiaodao and avenge the master!"

After saying that, Bai Guoping waved his hand fiercely, dividing the crowd into two parts, trotting against the north wind, and went around to meet at the entrance of the temple. Then they nodded to each other, and filed into the temple, switching from trotting to charging, and ran diagonally towards the temple. Inside the Dharma Protector's Hall.

For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky!
Bai Guoping and Huang Laogou rushed to the door of the Dharma Protector's Hall and saw two boys with guns standing guard on both sides.

"Go! Kill Jiang Xiaodao and avenge the master!"

Bai Guoping's heart surged with anger. He didn't care about Sanqi 21. He took his younger brother and raised his gun to shoot!

In an instant, there was only a loud "crackling" sound, and it was like a torrential downpour!

In the backlight of the door, the two watching guards seemed to be dozing off. They had no time to react. Within a breath, they were shot several times all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground suddenly.

Although the two of them were dead, Bai Guoping and others kept firing, and the bullets "swished" through the door panel, hitting the hands of several people lying on the ground.

Seeing sawdust flying everywhere, gunfire continuing, the room suddenly burst into wailing!
Bai Guoping and others killed all the bullets in one shot. Huang Laogou also happened to lead people to the door. He raised his foot and kicked open the door full of holes. He rushed in and faced the people lying on the ground dying, and then started to attack again. Let out a hail of bullets.

The bonfire in the house is about to go out, leaving only a few embers, which originally glowed with a bright red light.

But now there were constant gunshots, and the room was like lightning and thunder.

Every time it flashed, the ferocious faces of the Bai family were revealed.

Seeing this situation, Bai Guoping was naturally overjoyed, but he did not dare to take it lightly, so he quickly divided three or five of his subordinates and shouted: "You guys, go guard the door to prevent anyone from coming in from outside to rescue!"

Three or five people took the order and left.

At this moment, in the Dharma Protector Hall, Huang Laogou and others excitedly shouted out the door: "Young Master, they are dead! They are all dead!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Bai Guoping laughed loudly, and quickly led the others into the Dharma Protector Hall, shouting as he walked: "Find Jiang Xiaodao! Find Jiang Xiaodao! You little brat, pretend to be your mother, and fall into my hands. Don’t even think about keeping the whole body!”

He was so proud that in the Protector's Hall, the younger brothers also rushed to attack and fiddle with the corpses on the ground. They didn't care whether they recognized Jiang Xiaodao's face or not, and went to pick out the young one to look through.

"What's going on?" Bai Guoping scolded with a smile, "It's so hard to find a dead person?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, I heard a kid in the room, and suddenly he let out a howl like a ghost, which frightened everyone to stop and asked quickly: "What is it called? Did you see a ghost?"

I saw that the little brother was none other than the one who had just come to explore the way. Now for some reason, he took three or five steps in a panic and retreated to the bonfire. He pointed at the corpse on the ground and said stumblingly: " Young Master...it's freezing!"

"What the hell is freezing?"

"The body...the body is frozen!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Guoping was curious and quickly squeezed through the crowd, asking people to gather around the bonfire and come forward to check.

Unexpectedly, it would be better not to look at it. When I looked at it, I suddenly couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

I saw that the people lying on the hay in the hall were indeed dead people, but the number was wrong. There were only a few people lying at the door. The rest, some were clay Buddha statues, and some were just dry grass. !
Not only that, but there was something wrong with those dead people.

After setting up the bonfire, we saw that every one of them was either an old man or an old woman, or a skinny, sick man. Their bodies were purple from the cold, and there were occasional ulcers on the skin of their necks. From the looks of it, they had been dead for some time.

However, due to the harsh winter outside the pass, everyone was frozen as stiff as an ice skate.Bai Guoping's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly went to check the two people watching at the door. Sure enough, they were also old corpses that had been dead for a long time. However, there was a stick stuck behind him and pressed against the threshold. The general did not fall down. He was shot. Lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"It's broken. I've been cheating and changing things. I fell into the trap!"

Bai Guoping quickly shouted out the door: "Is there anyone outside?"

After a while, the three or five boys who had been sent out rushed back after hearing the sound and reported: "Young Master, after looking for a long time, I didn't see a single person! What's wrong?"

Huang Laogou blinked his cloudy eyes, took out his ears, and said strangely: "No, I clearly heard someone shouting in this room just now!"

The boy beside the campfire also said: "That's right, Master, how can a dead person snore?"

Bai Guoping also heard the noise, so he quickly returned to the house and looked around for a while.

With the help of the rekindled bonfire, I glanced around and saw a few black coffins standing in a corner of the wall, sheltered from the wind. The coffin board seemed to be a little loose, and one of them actually had a leather loop inside. , a hemp rope, climbed up the wall and hung on the beam.

Bai Guoping felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly heard a boy beside him, pointing to the roof of the shed and asking: "Master, what is that?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked up, only to see something like a haystack hanging on the beam. It was wrapped in yellow paper and connected to a leather loop and a hemp rope. It was suspicious and scary.

Every bundle of dynamite will explode.

Master Liu brought four bundles, two bundles blew up the textile factory, and one bundle blew up the Chamber of Commerce. This last bundle was originally taken to the secret house in the east of the city by "Ocean Owl" and entrusted to Hu Xiaoyan.

Unfortunately, the secret house was exposed, and Gong Baonan and Li Zheng had to return to the secret house and use a blue poncho to pull them here as bait.

"Run!"

It's too late to say, then soon!
Bai Guoping turned around and ran away without saying a word, but at the same time, the explosives on the beam also landed with a "pop"!
Immediately afterwards, a loud "boom" was heard!
I saw the desolate temple of Falun Temple and the Dharma Protector Hall, "crackling" and "crackling", and the doors and windows were broken.

Wood chips are like arrows, smoke and dust are like waterfalls!
Even the black coffins leaning far in the corner were shaken and moved sideways.

Bai Guoping and seven or eight of his brothers were immediately knocked out of the palace by the shock wave of the explosion!
Although Huang Laogou and others had planned to escape in a hurry, the door was so big, how could they accommodate everyone?

In the blink of an eye, the three or five men who were close to the explosives had their legs blown off, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Those people closest to the door, even though they were protected by a wall behind them, were still dizzy from the explosion, and their ears and noses were bleeding.

Several people caught in the middle were thrown to the ground or thrown against the wall when the shock wave came. The guns in their hands were scattered on the ground. Although they were all injured, fortunately they were not killed on the spot. , and still struggling to run towards the outside of the palace.

But helplessly, at this time of year, the King of Hell clicks Mao!

How can we wait for the dawn of the fifth watch when we are seduced by the third watch?

After the aftermath was gone, looking at the nooks and crannies of the hall, several black coffins were shaken loose, and the lids were immediately lifted, only to see Guan Wei, Gong Baonan, Zhao Guoyan and others rushing out to claim their lives like ghosts tearing away graves.

Shake up your murderous aura and shake your majestic air!
Raise your hand slightly, and you will get a life; pull the trigger, and you will get bursts of wailing!
It's a pity that the elites of the Bai family have already been killed by the "Owl" people. Now, although they are young and strong, they are slightly inexperienced. They have just used up their bullets and are busy competing to make meritorious deeds, but they have forgotten You have to reload the ammunition, and now you have to look for the magazine. Who gives you time?

Huang Laogou was quite experienced, but his eyesight was too bad, and the room was full of smoke and dust. He turned around and fired two shots with "bang bang", but missed, but was stared at by Lao Qigong Baonan, who raised his hand. One shot hit the temple, piercing through several heads and knocking out two or three dozen brains!

Looking at the Bai family again, the young master of the family only cares about running away with his life, and half of his fighting spirit has been lost.

Now, watching the head coach die in front of his eyes, all that is left is howling and screaming, pushing and pulling each other, turning their backs to the enemy, how can they not die?

Gong Baonan and others had used up all their bullets. Seeing this situation, they had no time to change. They turned over and fished out the machete from the black coffin behind them. They chased after him and slashed at the head and across the neck!

The killing was so complete that the sky was dark and the ground was dark, with severed limbs flying around!
The room full of gods and Buddhas was so shocked that they all closed their eyes!

Occasionally, a few escaped in panic and rushed outside the palace gate to join the others.

Looking at Bai Guoping, the eldest son of the Bai family, he was leading the remaining eight or nine people, stumbling and stumbling, his legs rushing quickly and slowly, but he was struggling with energy. Unfortunately, his bones and muscles were already numb with fear, and he was so angry. You cannot use all four legs to grab a door and escape.

While running, Bai Guoping took out the bullets from his arms and stuffed them into the magazine. He wanted to load the gun and fight back, but his hands were trembling. Before he could get the gun, they were all scattered, ding ding ding. Dangdang fell to the ground.

I wanted to pick it up, but someone beside me shouted sternly: "Master, leave him alone, run to the city quickly, go back, go back first, it's important to escape with your life!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Guoping was not stubborn. He held a pistol and rushed out of the deserted Falun Temple under the protection of everyone.

I thought that with the help of the remaining cubs, running all the way, they would not die here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I rushed out of the temple gate, I heard a loud "rumbling" sound from both sides of the east and west sides, as if the torrent was breaking the embankment and not letting the rolling thunder!
He looked around in a hurry, but he saw torches not far away on both sides, coming quickly!

Taking a closer look, there were about a dozen bearded men, wearing fur cloaks and marmot hats, holding torches in their left hands to light the way, and holding two-foot sabers in their right hands, howling and unscrupulous, rushing towards this side!

Isn't it as easy as chopping melons and vegetables when the cavalry rushes into battle and kills a few market gangsters?
This team of beards didn't even fire their guns, they just picked up knives to kill people!
Bai Guoping had previously sent someone to check at the door. To say that the boys were not smart enough was indeed an injustice to them, because this group of bearded men, relying on their powerful horses, set up an ambush one or two miles away in the dark of night, just waiting to hear the news. When there was an explosion in the temple, they lit up torches and rushed over, but they couldn't see clearly who it was.

At that moment, the bearded men rushed over from left to right, grasped the handle of the knife, and bowed slightly. Using the inertia of the horses, they suddenly looked sideways and killed one of them as if they were cutting a leek in half!
Everyone in the Bai family was panicking. They felt that the opponent's men and horses were like dragons, tumbling across the ink cloud, splashing a rain of blood, and dropping several heads.

"Master! Run!"

Bai Guoping didn't need anyone else to remind him. Before his men could even shout, he had already grabbed his head and ran towards the south.

Who would have expected that as soon as I ran a few steps away, I suddenly heard someone on the left roaring fiercely!

"Bai Guoping! Bring me your head!"

Bai Guoping turned around in a hurry, only to see a wild ghost galloping on his horse, with a cloud of dust flying behind him!
Jiang Xiaodao came into the wind, holding the reins with one hand, holding the scimitar horizontally with the other hand, stepping on the stirrup with his right foot, lowering his body diagonally, the inner side of his left knee almost touching the saddle of the horse's back, and his whole body was lying there. On horseback, in the blink of an eye, he was already approaching!
"what!"

Bai Guoping screamed, knowing that it was futile, but still instinctively stretched out his hands to stop him.

Jiang Xiaodao saw several blue veins popping up on the back of his hand. He lowered his sword diagonally. When he passed by Bai Guoping, he brought up a gust of wind and violently raised the sword horizontally!
In an instant, Bai Guoping felt a chill in his throat, and his whole body seemed to fly up lightly, hovering in the air, spinning around seven or eight times, before finally landing on the ground.

Then, his whole face rolled on the ground. When he settled down, he saw a headless corpse in front of him, falling to the ground with a crash. Then his eyes were dim, and the firelight around him finally dimmed, and those shouting people The sounds of killing, wailing, gunshots, and knives finally faded away.

At the end, he heard the sound of horse hooves and walked to "side", and then everything returned to deathly silence...
