Xu Ziling jumped onto the beam and stood in the gap between the beams. He gathered all the energy in his body and activated his inner breath to observe the changes below.
The sound of brick walls collapsing was still heard, and eight people were seen emerging from the tunnel!
But from the sound, I knew that the room outside was finished.
But of course no one will be found because Shang Xiuxun and others have moved here from the tunnel.
Third Deacon Tao Shusheng's voice sounded from below: What on earth is Deacon Liu doing that he still hasn't sent anyone to help?
Shang Xiuxun shouted coldly: Shut up! Deacon Liu must avoid the enemy's main force before he can follow the plan. This plan of luring the enemy is an impossible method. Who told us to misjudge the enemy's strength and lose our footing?
Sister Fu's voice said: Someone is coming!
Everyone was busy holding their breath.
There were still noises of smashing doors and windows outside the main house.
Xu Ziling looked down and saw eight people below divided into four groups, each taking a window and peering out.
Shang Xiuxun and Sister Fu occupied a window. Tao Shusheng occupied a window alone. The other five seemed to be Shang Xiuxun's bodyguards.
It is conceivable that Shang Xiuxun's team encountered an ambush. This group of people protected Shang Xiuxun and fought their way out of the siege to avoid the village designed by Lu Miaozi. They then signaled Liu Zongdao to lead his troops to come to the rescue. Who knows how the four major bandits were able to clearly grasp the situation?
Tracking their whereabouts personally put them in trouble.
Tao Shusheng suddenly turned around and looked at everyone. He saw that everyone was focused on the window and quickly took out something from his arms with his right hand and shook his hand to shoot it out of the window. Xu Ziling could no longer care about the consequences and shouted: Stop!
The eight people in the room were shocked and looked up at the beams and pillars.
Tao Shusheng hurriedly secretly took the things back into his arms.
Shang Xiuxun and others knew there was someone but did not dare to speak out.
Xu Ziling put his head around and shouted softly: I am definitely not a thief, and I have no malicious intentions. Now I am coming down!
Shang Xiuxun was a great general, and he knew that this mysterious man's skills were definitely not inferior to his own, and his internal skills were even more bizarre.
If you start a fight with him, it will only alert the bandits, so he waves and instructs everyone to make room to show his sincerity.
Xu Ziling slid down the pillar and before he even touched the ground, Tao Shusheng took a step forward and poked his chest and side with his fingers.
The wind whistled.
Shang Xiuxun wanted to drink but it was too late to stop.
Xu Ziling knew that he was afraid that he would be seen as a traitor and snorted coldly, so he let his fingertips poke his body and shoot out lightning with his right palm.
Tao Shusheng was overjoyed and thought to himself that even though you have the zhenqi to protect your body, you still can't stop my fierce pointing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fingertips touched Xu Ziling's skin and he was about to vomit, a strange and extremely hot zhenqi had already penetrated his fingertips and penetrated directly into his finger veins.
.
When Tao Shusheng's whole body was shaken and his soul was shaken, Xu Ziling's right palm was changed to sweep across his abdomen.
Tao Shusheng was so depressed that he was about to collapse, but Xu Ziling's hand pulled his belt and gently put him down on the ground.
Originally, even if he was in trouble, he could still perform ten or eight moves, but he didn't expect that there was such a weird energy in the world, so he met him and hit him.
Everyone, including Shang Xiuxun, was dumbfounded. They didn't expect Tao Shusheng's skills to be so easy to deal with. Fortunately, this person didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He just hit Tao Shusheng's acupuncture points and temporarily fainted.
Shang Xiuxun raised his long sword and pointed at this dignified man full of roughness and shouted coldly: Who are you?
Xu Zilinggong gathered his ears to carefully observe the movements near and far. Knowing that the bandits had temporarily moved to search elsewhere, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked deeply into Shang Xiuxun's pretty eyes. He pretended to be bold and unruly and said calmly: "I just made a bold statement to disturb the owner of the venue."
Do you know what the reason is?
Shang Xiuxun looked him up and down coldly and looked at Tao Shusheng, who was lying at his feet, and said calmly: "If the friend doesn't reveal his identity first, nothing can be discussed."
Xu Ziling retreated to where Tao Shusheng had stood and said: The owner of the farm will understand what I mean as long as he sends people to search for the things in your arms!
Shang Xiuxun looked at him in astonishment, his beautiful eyes shot out with a sharp light and said in a deep voice: "Does my friend mean that he is a traitor?"
Just listening to her tone of voice, one could tell that she had already been suspicious, but she was not sure that he was really a traitor!
Because this month happened to be when Tao Shusheng was on duty and took on the important task of collecting intelligence.
Xu Ziling said calmly: Just now I saw him trying to throw fireworks and artillery and other things out of the window! Someone is coming!
The sound of breaking through the sky came from all directions at the same time.
※※※
The pasture is in the wilderness near the mouth of the gorge.
Kou Zhong hid in a big tree and paid full attention to the movements of Li Tianfan, Shen Luoyan and a group of fifteen people who were fifty steps away. He watched them change into ranch attire. One of them, an old man with a striking resemblance to Shang Zhen in figure and appearance, was even more dressed up.
Cheng Shangzhen's appearance, unless someone is familiar with him, would have to look closely at him to tell the difference. Otherwise, it would be easy to be fooled by him.
At this time, even Kou Zhong was filled with admiration when he saw him lifting up his pipe and puffing out smoke.
The others were dressed as part of Shang Zhen's bodyguard. It was strange that outsiders like Li Xiuning had Yuan'er nearby to cover up and not fall into the trap.
The most powerful part of this plan is to lure Li Xiuning away from the castle, and Li Xiuning is unable to lead a large number of subordinates to the meeting. With the cooperation of Li Tianfan, Shen Luoyan and other masters, the fake Shang Zhen has a great chance of success. The real person pretending to be Shang Zhen
Apart from Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan, the person known as Teacher Chen is also the most powerful in martial arts.
In addition, there was a burly man named Bai in his thirties and a thin man named Ma Fang, both of whom seemed to be particularly skilled in martial arts among this group of people. The former had double axes on his back and the latter had a long sword on his waist.
The other ten people were between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, and all of them had bulging temples. Just because they could climb mountains and cross ridges to sneak into the pasture, it was obvious that they were mediocre people.
Shen Luoyan's expression was cold and thin, but she was still so beautiful. She was covering up her beauty with a hat. She was dressed in a man's attire and had an attractive flavor.
The sound of horses neighing could be heard from time to time, and the pasture was quiet.
Now everyone on the ranch is concentrated at both sides of the canyon and the castle. Only a dozen or so people are left to guard the pasture. It is like an undefended place. At the same time, this is the sparse forest area of the Near East Gorge, and it is a starry and dim night. No one knows what happened.
Won't know.
The whole conspiracy was so seamless. The only flaw was that Kou Zhong was watching.
As Shen Luoyan walked, he briefly explained the time to take action and the method of cooperation. Then Li Xiuning came.
Kou Zhongyun glanced in the direction of Huanlu Garden and saw seven figures who had just arrived at the edge of the sparse forest. Li Gang and Dou Wei were leading the way. In the middle were Li Xiuning and Yuan'er. Behind them were Chai Shao and another young master who were approaching quickly.
Kou Zhong thought and slid down the tree.
※※※
Shang Xiuxun's expression changed and he said: Get into the tunnel quickly! He pressed his palm on Sister Fu's pink back and pushed his beloved maid into the tunnel.
Others hurriedly followed.
Shang Xiuxun grabbed Tao Shusheng's belt and hesitated slightly before saying to Xu Ziling: Friend! Come down!
Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said: I will stay here to deal with the enemy. Remember to close the entrance.
When Shang Xiuxun mentioned that Tao Shusheng had just jumped into the tunnel and heard the words, he looked up at him in astonishment.
When the two people's eyes met, the door fell apart and a man came in with a knife.
Xu Ziling shouted loudly and punched out from the air with a concentrated punch.
Peng!
The big man actually brought a knife with him, and his irresistible punch sent him flying back like a windmill, knocking down five and six thieves who followed, all of them had broken bones and dirty organs.
Power.
Shang Xiuxun was dumbfounded and waited until Xu Ziling urged her to leave again before she entered the tunnel and closed the entrance.
The two windows on the left and right were shattered at the same time, and two spears stabbed with electricity like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues.
Xu Ziling listened to the sound of the tunnel entrance being sealed. He spread his hands to the left and right, grabbed the two spears and used his strength to break the two men, unable to hold back their momentum, they collided with him.
Xu Ziling raised his left and right elbows with both hands and hit the two people's chests hard.
The two men fell to the ground, spurting blood.
Xu Ziling then threw the two broken spears backwards without looking, and hit the chest of another big man who had entered through the window. The man fell silently against the window frame and hung his upper body on his back, dead in a bizarre and horrific manner.
It suddenly became quiet outside the house, with only the sound of the fire burning, but no one dared to break in.
Cao Yinglong's voice shouted outside the door: If Shang Xiuxun has the guts, come out and have a real meeting with Cao.
These bandits were obviously aroused by Xu Ziling's thunderbolt tactics.
Xu Ziling burst into laughter and walked out the door leisurely with his hands behind his hands.
There were corpses lying strewn in front of the house, and their death conditions were so strange and indescribable.
The four major bandits, led by Cao Yinglong, lined up with the others in a crescent-moon formation behind them, with powerful bows and arrows. Their swords, axes, swords and spears shone brightly in the light of torches, filled with murderous intent.
More than a hundred eyes were all focused on Xu Ziling.
All the bandits were shocked when they saw that it was Shang Xiuxun.
Not a blade of grass was growing and he pointed at the Tyrant Halberd and shouted: "Who are you?"
Xu Ziling said calmly: You are not even qualified to ask who I am!
The thieves yelled angrily, and more than ten powerful arrows came out from the strings and shot towards him.
※※※
The people and horses on both sides gradually approached.
Li Xiuning was also a cautious person. When she slowed down and was about three feet away from the counterfeit merchant Zhen, she stopped and saluted, "Hello, butler!"
The counterfeiter took a step forward and led everyone to return the greeting: "This is all my confidant who has been with me for many years. Princess Ning can rest assured."
This person even learned 70% to 80% of Shang Zhen's old voice. In addition, he deliberately lowered his voice so that it would be difficult for people who are not familiar with him to distinguish him.
Li Xiuning glanced at Yuan'er and said calmly: Xiuning is really sorry that I have to bother the housekeeper to rush back from the East Gorge. Why don't you use horses instead?
The counterfeiter Zhen pretended to sigh and said: "It's not just to deceive others! Hey!"
The sound of footsteps came from behind Li Xiuning and others.
The people on both sides looked at him in surprise.
I just heard someone shouting: Princess! I'm sorry, I've finished relieving myself! It's so comfortable!
Li Xiuning's delicate body was shocked to recognize Kou Zhong's voice.
Under the gaze of everyone, a man with a beard and a hook-nosed man with a wild look came from the woods, rubbing his belly and walking up and down.
When Chai Shao and others realized that he was powerful, his expression changed. He was about to draw his weapon. Li Xiuning stopped him with a gesture in time and shouted: "You don't have to come, can't you hear me?"
Kou Zhong changed his voice and said: Princess, calm down! Princess, calm down!
The fake Shang Zhen, Li Tianfan, Shen Luoyan and others over there were all frowning and confused.
With Li Xiuning's noble status, how could her subordinates say such rude words to relieve her?
Kou Zhong swayed left and right as if he couldn't see Li Xiuning. Under the angry gazes of Chai Shao and others, he walked to the middle of the two groups and coughed dryly: "Princess, please forgive me, please let someone introduce you first!"
Then he pointed at Li Tianfan, who was behind the counterfeit merchant Zhen, and sang like a recital: This is Mr. Li Tianfan, the only son of Naiwa Gangzhai’s secret father.
Li Xiuning and others changed their expressions at the same time.
Kou Zhong flashed to Yuan'er's side and said with a smile: This pretty lady is the concubine of the real housekeeper Xina, but her former identity was the daughter of Mr. Li...ah!
Yuan'er knew that her identity was exposed, but she still had the composure to take out the sudden poison dagger hidden in her sleeve and stab Kou Zhong and Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning had already paid attention to Yuan'er when Kou Zhong revealed Li Tianfan's identity. She snorted and brushed her green sleeves towards the tip of the piercing dagger.
Kou Zhong pretended to be horrified and backed away, shouting that he was going to kill someone. He then rushed in front of the counterfeiter Zhen.
When Yuan'er saw that Kou Zhong was no longer blocking her way, she withdrew the dagger aimed at Li Xiuning and avoided her brushing sleeve. She was about to run away when Chai Shao silently pointed his finger at her back. Yuan'er fell to the ground in response.
Kou Zhong ignored the fake Shang Zhen and everyone else showed murderous intent and laughed loudly: This person pretending to be a housekeeper is called Teacher Chen. As for his real name... Humph!
A young man next to Li Tianfan couldn't restrain himself and rushed forward to slash Kou Zhong's left shoulder with his sword. The sword technique was quick and precise. Zheng!
The moon in the well emerged from its sheath.
Everyone felt the yellow light burst out but could not see it clearly. There was a loud sound, and the attacker, armed with a knife, spun away and fell to the ground. He still had to roll a few feet away and hit a tree before he slumped to a stop and died on the spot.
This was the first time that everyone saw such a domineering and strange sword power. Li Tianfan immediately suppressed everyone who wanted to take action.
As if he had done something insignificant, Kou Zhong sheathed his sword and came to Shen Luoyan, who was on the other side of the counterfeit merchant Zhen. Before he could say anything, Shen Luoyan said coldly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost. Where is your good brother?"
Kou Zhong put his head close to him and said with a smile on his face: He is hiding because he is afraid of you!
Li Tianfan was always shocked to think that the two of them were old acquaintances, but he couldn't remember that there was a powerful figure like him in the martial arts world.
Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes showed a strange and complicated look and she said softly: Teach him to come out and kill me!
Kou Zhong stepped back and laughed loudly: Who would be willing to kill Commander Shen who looked like a fish and a goose?
Clang!
The moon emerges from its sheath in the well.
Kou Zhong straightened his shoulders and immediately gave birth to a domineering aura that swept through thousands of troops and shouted: "Apart from Military Master Shen, no one else is left?"
The cold light in Li Tianfan's eyes shrouded the moon in the well, and it was extremely powerful, but it also gave people a strange feeling of being agile and invisible.
The true power of the spiral enveloped the entire battlefield.
Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled slightly, knowing that she would never forget Kou Zhong's domineering and charming spirit in this life. She glanced at Chai Shao who was standing next to him. He was looking at Kou Zhongfang with a look of shock on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a slight crime in his heart.
