Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2731 The Capital (85)

The winter nights are long, the fifth watch has struck, and there is no dawn yet, until the hour of the hour is approaching, and there is a faint light in the east.

Li Rufeng turned to Xiao Bazi and said, "Follow me later, don't rush around alone!"

Xiao Bazi nodded, his face solemn and his eyes slightly uneasy.

"What, are you afraid?"

Xiao Bazi swallowed: "Don't be afraid!"

At this time, the line of sight was clear, and there was no cover for the escort ambushing outside the temple.Without further ado.Li Rufeng immediately opened his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow into the sky.

Mingdi flew into the air in response, and a whistle cut through the winter morning.

The escorts who had already been in place jumped up, each holding a makeshift wooden stick, and rushed towards Ningyou Temple.

A sharp bamboo whistle sounded instantly from the mountain gate and the roof of the main hall. Li Rufeng shouted: "Quick!" There was a scream from the people above the mountain gate. One person had been hit by an arrow and fell down, hitting him heavily in front of him.

The mountain gate was closing in, and the bodyguards worked in pairs. One person held a wooden pole to push behind, and the other person stepped on the wall in succession. They jumped up to the gate tower in a few clicks.The sound of swords clashing, screams, and screams after being hit by a knife immediately sounded from behind the door... but within a moment, the mountain door was already open.Li Rufeng and others rushed in.

There were three or four corpses lying in the front yard. One person had been stabbed and was struggling against the wall.

"Two people hold the mountain gate, and the rest rush in!" He raised his sword in his hand, and his bodyguards all rushed to the front and rushed towards the main hall.

Chen Jiu was the first to climb onto the roof of the hall, but Liu Chang's spiked arrow was faster than him. A secret whistle raised a knife to fight, but he was shot down directly and rolled down along the eaves to the ground.The other one had already raised his sword to greet him, but at this moment he suddenly lost his courage and retreated towards the corner of the eaves.Chen Jiu ran across the roof as if walking on flat ground. He caught up with him in a few steps and swung the simple knife in his hand, instantly cutting off An Shao's calf.The man screamed and rolled down.Only a long blood trail was left on the roof tiles.

Liu Chang was already on the roof now. He had a carved bow and a pot of feathered arrows. He fixed his eyes briefly and determined the direction. He squatted and sat down. He swung the bow with his left hand and flicked the arrow with his right hand. When the bow string sounded, the arrow came out like a shooting star.Twelve wolf fang arrows were shot out in an instant.

There were already more than ten people gathered in the backyard, but Liu Chang's twelve arrows fell towards the backyard like meteors in the sky.The arrows arrived first, followed by the sound of strings and the whistling of arrows flying through the air, knocking down four people one after another.Amidst the screams and screams, the other people dispersed in a hurry, but they were attacked by the bodyguards led by Sun Changtou who broke in from the back door.

Li Rufeng led his bodyguards to search house to house. There were still remaining gangsters struggling in each room. Every time they rushed into a room, there was a burst of weapons.After rushing to the second room at the east end, they saw three gangsters resisting desperately in the corridor. Even a man like Sun Changtou, who was strong and powerful and was best at killing people and seizing routes, was entangled and unable to escape.Li Rufeng knew that there must be something fishy in the house. Taking advantage of the melee on the corridor, he and Xiao Bazi ducked under the eaves of the corridor.Break open the door.

The light and shadow in the room were dim and it was difficult to see clearly.As soon as he entered the house, he felt a fierce sound of wind coming towards him. Li Rufeng hurriedly dodged past, but an arrow from his sleeve was stuck straight into the door.Li Rufeng relied on the position of the wind and raised the knife with his backhand. He felt that the knife's power was stagnant, and a hot and sweet liquid spurted directly into his hand.Then there was a scream.

He blinked rapidly four or five times and saw a person curled up on the kang in the room, who looked like Leng Ningyun himself.He shouted: "Shopkeeper Leng!"

Sure enough, the man on the Kang moved and turned towards him.Li Rufeng was overjoyed and was about to fly onto the kang when suddenly another person appeared from the corner of the room and said with a ferocious smile: "I have invited the God of Wealth, no one can take it away!" He stabbed Leng Ningyun with his sword.

Li Rufeng was shocked. The room was small and he had no room to maneuver when the knife was struck.Just as he was breaking out in a cold sweat, a dark shadow flashed around him, blocking him suddenly and waving a knife to protect him.Taking a closer look, it was Xiao Bazi

It's just that the opponent's force was strong and heavy. Although Xiao Bazi's sword had blocked the opponent's sword, it could not withstand the opponent's sword power. Li Rufeng watched helplessly as the black shadow's sword tip penetrated Xiao Bazi's chest.

"Xiao Bazi!" Li Rufeng was shocked. He took a step forward and forced the enemy away with a knife. He saw blood gushing out of Xiao Bazi's chest and he instantly collapsed at the edge of the pit.Before he could save him in time, the enemy came with another slash of his sword.Li Rufeng was able to block it with his sword, but was surprised: this person's martial arts skills were not inferior to his own.

He shouted, "Great idea!" to summon reinforcements.This was not a fair duel. He had to protect Leng Ningyun, so he would be at a disadvantage if he made a move.

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of fighting. Seeing that he didn't dare to fight, he kicked open the window pane and flew out of the house.Immediately there was a burst of exclamations and the sound of fierce sword collisions outside.

Li Rufeng didn't care to join in the melee and quickly looked towards the kang.Sure enough, it was Leng Ningyun. He was wearing a slightly loose cotton robe that didn't fit well, and his bun was a little messy. His whole body was tidied up, but he was completely lackluster, and he was lying on the quilt with a silent expression on his face.Even the fierce fight in front of him didn't seem to interest him.

Li Rufeng knew that he had probably been given some kind of medicine that could make a person's body weak and his mind sluggish. Fortunately, this medicine would not hurt his life.He quickly helped Xiao Bazi and saw that he was still breathing. He quickly tore open his chest clothes and poured the knife wound medicine he brought with him on the wound. He saw that the wound did not bleed much, but there was foam overflowing, and he felt his heart tightening.

During his high school training, he knew that firstly, a chest injury could lead to a heart rupture, which would result in death on the spot; secondly, it could damage the lungs, which would be extremely dangerous if not treated in time.

There was nothing he could do to save him at this moment, and there was still fighting outside.We can only put the little boy on the kang first.He picked up the knife and rushed out.

There was already a fight outside. Li Rufeng rushed out and saw that the man in black had injured two people and almost broke out of the siege. However, he was entangled by Sun Changtou and the two struggled together.After three or five ups and downs, the man in black struck with several swords and forced Sun Changtou back. He jumped up and climbed onto the wall, and climbed out of the wall in an instant. "Chase!"

Before Li Rufeng finished speaking, the sound of whizzing arrows piercing the air rang out in the air, followed by the heavy sound of falling to the ground.The escorts chased him out.After a while, Sun Changtou dragged people in: a wolf-fang arrow penetrated through the back, and the other was shot in the calf.

The one on the back is obviously written by Xu Chang.He had heard of this man's good archery skills for a long time, but this was the first time he saw his real skills.

"People are still alive..."

"Bandage him and take him away!"

At this moment, the fighting in the temple has gradually stopped, and the bodyguards are searching around.Li Rufeng leaned against the pillar on the eaves of the corridor and gasped, as if he had lost all strength.Everyone else came to fight, but he was the only one to bear the heavy burden.If Elder Leng is not found today, or something unexpected happens, he will probably commit suicide.

The leading bodyguard came over and reported that the fighting in the temple was over and that everything had been searched.

"...A total of seventeen bandits were killed and five were captured alive, two of whom were women. There were also three Taoist priests from the temple who have been captured."

"How many were damaged?"

"Two people died in the battle, and nine were defeated..." He hesitated for a moment and said, "There is also Xiao Bazi, I'm afraid... it's useless."

Li Rufeng nodded. He had experienced the death of his companions many times since eating this bowl of rice, and his heart had long been hardened. However, what happened to this child touched his mood.

"As long as he is alive, bandage him first." He ordered, "Tell everyone to search this place carefully, especially the documents. Pack them all up and take them away. Our people, whether dead or alive, will be packed with them. They won't be able to walk." Let them ride horses and mules. Take away the captives who can walk and kill those who cannot." He looked at the sky and saw that it was already bright. "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Where are the corpses here..."

"Don't worry about them, there are people who can take care of them." Li Rufeng stretched his waist.

After coming out of Nanyuan, Li Rufeng did not go to the escort agency or go east along the official road, but took the west road.There is a mule and horse inn owned by He Liansheng in the town more than ten miles away.Just rest here.Treat injuries.He also asked the kitchen to cook the mung bean and licorice soup. When it was ready, he personally brought it to the condensation cloud room.

"Chief, this is mung bean and licorice soup. It clears away heat and detoxifies. Please drink a bowl to calm your mind. There is also this Bezoar Qingxin Pill. You can take it after eating the porridge for a while."

This is not flattery on his part, but actually the escort agency's experience in saving votes.

Most of the "tickets" who were rescued were tortured. Even if they were served delicious food and drinks, they were still frightened and worried for many days. When they were rescued, they would inevitably have severe emotional fluctuations, including going crazy, dying suddenly, and suffering from emergency illnesses. ...a common occurrence.Therefore, the escort agency must prepare medicine that clears fire and calms nerves.

Leng Ningyun knew Li Rufeng, so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble!"

"I don't dare. The subordinates are also to blame for the leader's disaster." Li Rufeng was very humble and not proud of himself at all. "This is also a small atonement for the sins of my subordinates."

"The people in your escort agency are all very talkative." Leng Ningyun tried his best to force out a smile and said, "This group of thieves didn't know what they ate for me last night. Their bodies were limp, and they were sometimes sober and confused. Only then. There was a cool breeze blowing on the road, which made me feel better."

"Don't worry, chief. This is just an anesthetic commonly used by gangsters. Once the effect of the drug is over, you will be fine."

Li Rufeng thought it was so dangerous! .There are horses, mules, and a mule sedan in the temple.He also gave Leng Ningyun medicine in advance.If I had come a step later, I'm afraid the leader would have been transferred today.If you don't say anything, it will be extremely difficult to find someone else.

Seeing that Leng Ningyun had nothing to say anymore, he asked, "I wonder if the commander has any other instructions..."

"Immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Delong. Inform Wukaidi that I am out of danger and let him make preparations."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Also, find someone to tell me everything that happened during this period, so that I can figure it out..."
