Chapter 548 548 Night Attack
Ding Yi and several other secret guards were outside the north gate of Kyoto. They watched an ox cart until dusk. They walked slowly and leisurely to the location where Lao Lin passed the news. A thin old man with gray hair got out of the car. , got in the car and drove the cattle away after it was convenient nearby.
A dark guard followed. After half an hour, the old man entered a nearby village. Three children greeted him. The old man happily took out the caramel he bought for the child from the back basket. The child climbed onto the ox cart. Several entered the yard. The dark guard found a place nearby and stayed there.
Jixiang and Lao Lin drove the car into the mountain forest. Jixiang suddenly felt a chill in the forest, and he quickly restrained the reins and looked around vigilantly.
Old Lin became nervous when he saw Jixiang holding the reins. Suddenly several arrows shot out from the woods in front of him. The sharp arrows roared towards Laolin and Jixiang, and Laolin fell down.
Jixiang turned sideways and got off the carriage. When the arrow passed by, he left a blood trough on his arm, which was hidden under the tirdle of the carriage. He picked up his crossbow and shot at the opposite woods. The people on the opposite tree saw that the blow was successful, and he flew quickly. escaped. Jixiang drilled under the car, and saw that Lao Lin had been shot by arrows in the throat and chest, and he was silent.
Jixiang put Lao Lin on the carriage, sprinkled the golden herbal medicine on his legs, and drove the carriage to the village.
A few hours ago, Jixiang arrived in the village, dragged Lao Lin down and put them together with the dead, and then drove the carriage to the gate of Zhuangzi, and the door opened from the inside. Jixiang saw Li Yu holding the oil lamp and asked with a smile. : “After all the way, are you hungry?”
”I’m fine, I ate some dry food, but I’m not very hungry.” Jixiang drove the carriage into the barn.
Li Yu saw that Jixiang was alone and wondered if something had happened?
Jixiang looked at Li Yu and said ashamedly, “Madam, when we returned, we encountered an attack in the woods, and Lao Lin was shot to death.”
“Is there any injury?” Li Yu looked at Jixiang worriedly.
Jixiang shook his head, “My arm was brushed by an arrow, and I’ve already taken the Golden Chuang medicine.”
Li Yu put his mind at ease, “That’s good, the food is warm in the pot, go eat something first, wash up, and take a break first.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Jixiang responded and said to Li Yu, “I saw Ding Yi guarding the city gate, ma’am, I think those gangsters may have known that you brought Liangjia Village, otherwise Lao Lin would not have sent someone. Come and shoot Lao Lin.”
Li Yu didn’t expect the enemy to know the news so quickly. From this perspective, when Lao Lin appeared outside the North City Gate, someone was watching. How did they know that Lao Lin was caught by themselves and confessed? Since Chu Sihai has already sent people to defend Beicheng, the people sent to Liangjia Village should also arrive!
Li Yu nodded and said, “Yeah! Someone might be hungry tonight. Go eat and drink enough, and rest.”
“Hey!” Jixiang Ying went into the stove, brought out the hot food from the pot, and ate it. After eating, he wiped his face casually, and lay down in the room next to him with his clothes on.
Li Yuxiang went to the study again, entered the secret room and took some crossbows and arrows into the space, closed the door of the secret room, came out with weapons, and hid in the dark to guard Zhuangzi.
Hu Cheng brought a few secret guards to Liangjia Village. It was midnight, and under the cold moonlight, he entered the village.
When he arrived in front of Zhuangzi, he saw a dim light shining through the courtyard. Hu Cheng asked other dark guards to guard outside and jumped up the wall.
As soon as he turned into the yard and had no time to shout, he saw Li Yu aiming his crossbow at him.
Hu Cheng hurriedly raised his hands and said to Li Yu with a smile: “Mrs. Li, I am Hu Cheng under the command of the great shopkeeper of Chu Sihai. I am here to listen to your dispatch. I have a letter from the great shopkeeper here.” As he said that, he took out the letter from Chu Sihai to Li Yu from his pocket.
Li Yu looked at him and nodded: “Bring it here.”
“Yes.” Hu Cheng bowed in response, holding the letter in both hands and sending it to Li Yu.
Li Yu took the letter and saw the meaning of the letter from Chu Sihai: Madam Li, Sihai has been ordered by His Majesty to send someone to protect you. The leading team is called Hu Cheng, and they are all sent by you.
Bringing back the news of being killed by Jixiang, Li Yu felt that the manpower was insufficient, and the people sent by Chu Sihai happened to solve the problem of the shortage of manpower.
“Okay, tell those brothers, I will let people prepare food in the kitchen, and you can use it yourself. Also, tonight, my housekeeper was killed in the woods. I think what I discovered here, Those gangsters already know. In my opinion, there is no need for us to keep secrets any more. You immediately send someone back to Beijing, and ask the shopkeeper Chu to report it, and send someone to transport the things in the Zhuangzi away. I’m worried that something will happen later. “
Hu Cheng bowed in response, blew the bamboo whistle, and a dark guard in black jumped into the yard. Hu Cheng told him what Li Yu said. After taking orders, the dark guard turned around and climbed out of the courtyard wall, disappearing into the night. middle.
Hu Cheng said to Li Yu, “Mrs. Li, you can rest in peace. My brothers and I are guarding you outside.”
Li Yu had rested during the day and didn’t feel tired, but for some reason he always felt that it would not be peaceful tonight. Hearing this, he nodded, “Okay, there is boiling water and steamed buns in the kitchen, you can do whatever you want.”
“Yes. Mrs. Li.” Hu Cheng nodded in agreement and backed out.
Li Yu and Jixiang said hello, went to the study in the backyard, and lay down in clothes and clothes on the couch in the study.
Hu Cheng and the dark guards were guarding in the dark corners of several fences, quietly hiding there.
After half an hour, more than a dozen figures appeared on the road at the entrance of the village. They were all dressed in black, rushing towards Zhuangzi under the cover of darkness.
Hu Cheng and the dark guard stood on the fence, quickly picked up the crossbow, ready to shoot.
When these men in black were about to approach Zhuangzi, they suddenly dispersed and ran towards the front and back courtyards of Zhuangzi. courtyard.
Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded, “No, there is an ambush, hurry back.” One person shouted.
The man in black was stunned for a moment and then quickly backed away, which was faster than the arrows, only to hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the dense arrows breaking through the air, and then the sound of ‘puff’ puff’ muffled sound.
Seeing that the men in black outside the front yard fell to the ground one by one, Hu Cheng turned on the roof and shot the men in black from top to bottom.
Jixiang also ran to the backyard with a crossbow and shouted anxiously, “Ma’am.”
“Yes, don’t panic.” Li Yufu responded from the roof, aiming at the man in black who rushed towards the backyard, and pulled the crossbow machine, only to hear the sudden sound of the crossbow machine, and then again A few men in black fell into the field, Jixiang felt relieved, climbed up to the roof to face the men in black, and concentrated on dealing with the men in black.
