At the border, people are most afraid of appearing in a place where others are fighting. As long as they encounter such a thing, they will most likely become cannon fodder for both sides.
Seeing the two groups of people heading straight to the inn, Li Wuya's heart sank, and she pulled Li Qilang and ran quickly into the backyard and straight to the kitchen.
There was a secret passage under the inn. On the first day her mother came to the inn as an errand, she used her mental power to carefully explore the entire inn and immediately discovered the existence of the secret passage.
There are two entrances to the secret passage, one is in the Yi Cheng's room, and the other is behind the unused stove in the kitchen.
Judging from the current situation, hiding in a secret passage is the safest.
Just as Li Wuya pulled Li Qilang and ran towards the kitchen, a dozen big men wrapped in face towels rode directly into the inn.
"close the door!"
As soon as those people entered the inn, they immediately closed the door.
"Who are you?"
A postman came forward to ask, but was directly hacked to death by a strong man.
The person who came was so aggressive and fierce that he shocked everyone else in the inn.
Seeing the scarlet blood on the ground, everyone ran away without saying a word.
In an instant, the station was in chaos.
"Don't allow them to escape. Hurry and drive everyone into the lobby."
As soon as the leading strong man gave the order, the other strong men got off their horses and began to drive away the people in the post station. Anyone who resisted and did not cooperate would be directly killed with their swords.
On the other side, Li Wuya and Li Qilang ran into the kitchen.
It was not meal time, and there was no one in the kitchen. Li Wuya ran to the idle stove, pushed away the firewood piled behind the stove, then squatted down and put his hand into the stove eye. When he touched a convex
When I got up, I pressed it immediately.
Along with a slight sound, a dark tunnel appeared behind the stove.
"Qilang, hurry up, bad guys are coming to the inn, let's hide in a secret passage."
Li Qilang was not surprised when he saw the secret passage. He hid in it obediently and quickly.
Yes, before that, Li Wuya had taken Li Qilang into the secret passage when others were not around. Therefore, Li Qilang was no stranger to the secret passage.
As soon as Li Qilang left, Li Wuya followed immediately.
After hiding in the secret passage, Li Wuya breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Li Qilang tightly and squatted on the ground, using his mental energy to carefully 'watch' the situation outside.
The inn only has two front and back entrances, and is not very big. If you let your mental energy out, you can just 'see' the situation of the entire inn.
Li Wuya's heart sank as he watched Yi Cheng and others being coerced by the group of men to gather in the lobby.
The inn was hijacked.
To make matters worse, the cavalry chasing the group also surrounded the inn.
Inside the inn, a dozen strong men holding long knives held everyone hostage.
Outside the post station, dozens of cavalrymen dressed in Chu military robes, holding long bows and arrows, surrounded the post station, ready to go.
'Looking' at this scene, Li Wuya secretly cried out that he was unlucky.
They were in trouble!
If these two groups of people were to fight, everyone else in the station would probably die.
Li Wuya secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, her mother and brother and sister were not at the inn today, so they avoided this disaster.
As for her and Shichiro
As long as she is here, she can always keep him safe.
There are many forks in the secret passage, so it is easy to hide. Even if someone else comes in, it is not difficult to avoid them with the help of mental power.
Thinking of this, Li Wuya immediately relaxed.
At the same time, the two groups of people inside and outside the station became increasingly tense.
The cavalry outside the post station began to approach the post station, but as soon as they moved, a big man in the lobby suddenly shouted: "Zhuang Yutang, tell your men to retreat. If I see anyone approaching, I will kill the people in the post station."
"
After saying that, a strong man walked to the corner of the lobby, picked up a person with one hand and dragged him to the door.
"Don't kill me, please, don't kill me!"
"I still have a wife, children and mother, so I can't die yet."
The two people who were dragged away seemed to know the fate they were about to face, struggling hard and begging.
Unfortunately, their strength could not compete with the strong man, and they were thrown out of the hall.
The two of them were lying at the door and were about to get up and run away. However, before they could take action, a cold-glaring sword slashed him from behind.
"boom!"
The heads were separated and blood was spilled on the ground.
"Ah~"
The bloody scene frightened the people in the inn.
Outside the inn, Dielingguan Shen knitted Zhuang Yutang's brows into knots. He was silent for a while, then raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to approach the inn again.
Lieutenant General Xu Chengkun showed disapproval: "General, we have to rush back to Dieling Pass. We can't continue the stalemate with them. Why don't we rush in directly?"
Zhuang Yutang's sharp eyes shot over: "There are still many people in the station. As a border guard general, I can't just watch them be killed."
Xu Chengkun was a little irritated: "But even if we don't attack, their chances of survival are not great. Hu Yanhe's group will definitely not let them go."
Zhuang Yutang frowned: "If you wait a little longer, it will get dark. As soon as it gets dark, I will personally lead people into the inn and save every one I can."
Xu Chengkun disagreed even more: "General, Hu Yanhe is an eighth-grade master of Beiyan, and the others are all above sixth grade, so why do you need to take risks yourself?"
Zhuang Yutang looked at him sideways: "You mean, I can't beat Hu Yanhe, right?"
Xu Chengkun looked helpless: "General, that's not what I mean. You have the heavy responsibility of guarding Dieling Pass, so there is no need to do everything yourself."
Zhuang Yutang interrupted him: "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind and will take action when it gets dark."
Xu Chengkun pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Zhuang Yutang looked inside the inn with sharp eyes: "Since people have been blocked by us, they can't even think of running away."
In the lobby of the inn, the strong men all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhuang Yutang and others were not approaching.
In the secret passage, Li Wuya also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no direct fight. If there was no fight, the others would still have a chance to survive.
Suddenly, Li Wuya's face became alert. She 'saw' a strong man put Yi Cheng in a corner and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Cheng began to blush, his neck was thick, his body was hunched over, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.
The strong man saw that Yi Cheng's eyes were blurred in pain, and then he gave him another pill.
The medicine took effect quickly, but within a moment, Yi Cheng stopped rolling. Although he was still breathing heavily, his expression was no longer so painful.
Without giving Yi Cheng a chance to breathe, the strong man grabbed him and dragged him to the head of the strong man.
Hu Yanhe's hawk-like gaze fell on Yi Cheng, patted Yi Cheng's cheek, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the entrance to the secret passage?"
Yi Cheng shook his head weakly: "There is no secret passage."
Hu Yanhe sneered. Why did he come to this inn despite Zhuang Yutang's hot pursuit? It was because he knew that there was a secret way out of the inn.
"In this case, then you have no value in living."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man holding Yi Cheng took out another pill and was about to stuff it into Yi Cheng's mouth.
When Yi Cheng saw it, a look of horror appeared on his face. Thinking of the painful experience just now, his whole body started to tremble.
Thinking of his old wife and children at home, and his newly born grandson, before the pill touched his mouth, Yi Cheng lowered his head, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed to his room.
"In my room."
Hearing this, both Huyanhe and the strong man showed surprise on their faces.
Yi Cheng led two strong men into the room, opened the wardrobe, pressed the switch, and immediately a secret passage was revealed.
Huyan congratulated him, his face was happy, and then he asked: "Who else knows about the existence of the secret passage?"
Yi Cheng shook his head quickly: "No, I am the only one who knows the whole post station."
The strong man smiled: "Zhuang Yutang must not know about the secret passage in the inn. This is our chance to escape. Boss, let's escape quickly."
Hu Yanhe shook his head: "No, Zhuang Yutang is very smart. Don't look at him standing outside now. Soon he will send someone to test our reaction. Once he finds out that we are not here, he will immediately rush into the inn."
"This secret passage is not difficult to find. Once they find it and chase us, we still won't be able to escape."
The strong man frowned: "What should we do?"
Hu Yanhe thought for a moment: "Go and call Hu Yanji up."
In the secret passage, Li Wuya 'watched' everything in the postmaster's room attentively.
After the strong man dragged Yi Cheng out, Hu Yanhe took off his bundle and put it on the table, then opened it and looked through it.
Li Wuya's eyes lit up instantly when he saw that the package contained medicinal materials.
At this time, a strong man entered the Yi Cheng's house.
Hu Yanhe looked at the person who came and solemnly handed him a secret letter: "Aji, this is the military strategy map we stole from Dachu. The secret passage below leads directly to the outside of the customs. You can leave along the secret passage now."
.”
"We are here to hold down those people in Zhuang Yutang and buy more time for you. You must send the information to Beiyan Camp."
With that said, he handed him the bundle on the table.
"These are the blood ginseng and blood sesame that I collected with great difficulty while hiding in Dachu. General Tuoba was injured last time and his injury has not fully healed. These medicinal materials must be sent to the general."
In the secret passage, Li Wuya was gearing up. Over the years, she had been thinking of ways to improve her healing powers, but unfortunately she couldn't get the medicinal materials.
Now the medicinal materials are delivered to your door!
