38. Fierce battle on a rainy night. You fight is king
() The cries are desolate and sad, containing endless sorrow. They are louder and louder, sharp and harsh, making people feel chilled in their hearts.
"Female... female ghost!" Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound, his face turned pale, and he looked around in horror. The other people in the hall were not much better. The few who had spoken tough just now did not dare to speak out, holding weapons tightly in their hands.
, gathered together and looked at the hall door, windows, etc.
There was another sharp scream, like a dying cry, which made Liu Meng's forehead tighten when he heard it. At this time, the two pots of flowers and plants at the hall door suddenly rustled, and a gust of cold wind blew in, approaching.
The two candles next to the window flickered for a few times and then went out. Then, as if it was a chain reaction, the lights of several candles on the side were also extinguished one after another, leaving only a half-length piece of white wax on the three-branch candlestick in the middle of the hall.
It was still burning, but the candle flame wavered and looked like it might go out at any moment.
How could such a large living room be illuminated by this weak candlelight? The room became dark for a while, and the wind and rain outside became more intense. The flowers and trees in the courtyard were blown wildly by the wind, as if a big hand was pulling and making a sound.
The rustling sound is like the exhalation of an evil spirit.
It was such a terrifying atmosphere. Although he knew it was the banker's female family members who were up to something, Liu Meng was also frightened. Wei Xiaobao even held his head tightly with both hands, and his whole body was shaking.
The white-haired old man also had a nervous look on his face, instructing everyone to quickly dismantle the tables and chairs, light a few more torches for lighting, and summoning his inner strength, he loudly shouted outside: "We are passing by your place, come here to take shelter from the rain, and trespass into the treasure house."
There is something wrong, so I hereby apologize. We will just wait for the rain to stop and set off immediately. I hope the host will not blame me!"
The white-haired old man had great skills, and his words were full of energy and spread far and wide. Everyone held their breath and waited for a response from outside.
After a long time, the mournful female voice stopped ringing outside, the creaking and rattling noises everywhere also calmed down, and even the wind and rain seemed to have become much lighter.
Seeing that it was really effective, a man asked everyone's thoughts in a dry voice: "Master Zhang, do you think there really is... a ghost here?" When the word ghost was mentioned, the man swallowed before continuing, obviously out of fear.
.
The white-haired old man waved his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We have important things to do. We just need to take shelter from the rain."
A man came forward, moved a chair that was still intact, and asked the white-haired old man Zhang Sanye to sit down. Someone also offered him a wine gourd. Zhang Sanye pulled out the cork and took a sip, exhaling a white breath. Then he squinted.
Looking at the two young men huddled in the corner of the hall, he suddenly asked: "Where do these two little brothers come from? How come they don't even have an entourage with them? Can the family rest assured?"
Liu Meng raised his head and smiled and said: "We are from a family on the edge of the capital. We went out to play and got separated from our servants. We will go back in the morning. Thank you for worrying, old man."
Mr. Zhang said "Oh", looked at Wei Xiaobao who was still huddled there, and then asked: "Since we are from the roots of the imperial city, I wonder if there are young eunuchs in place along the way? About fourteen or fifteen
Years old, traveling from east to west."
Good guys, you have already become suspicious of our two brothers. Liu Meng still had a warm smile on his face and said: "It's strange that the old man asked. There are so many young eunuchs in the capital. I don't meet a few of them every day, but
There are no such things on the road. The Qing Dynasty had rules and eunuchs who left the capital without authorization would be killed."
Passing the wine gourd in his hand to others, the white-haired old man Zhang Sanye laughed a few times and said: "I heard that this little eunuch has no other skills. He is just cunning and clever. He is best at pointing out evil and confusing right and wrong. Let me see what he has to say.
We look a lot alike, little brothers." After saying that, he looked at Wei Xiaobao with evil intentions, and several men slowly came up to him.
Liu Meng turned his arm and pinched Wei Xiaobao gently to remind him to pay attention, but said: "Since the old man looks at the statue, you might as well come over and have a physical examination. Eunuchs are not as strong and strong as our brothers."
"Hey! The boy has a very slippery mouth." A man came around and saw Liu Meng's unforgiving mouth. He immediately walked up a few steps, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to teach this slippery boy a lesson.
The opponent has a total of sixteen people, with only Mr. Zhang as the master, and the others are similar to ordinary Qing court guards. As long as the opponent is not allowed to form a strange formation and fight in this dark environment, his chance of winning is almost 100%.
In an instant, Liu Meng decided to strike first, stretched out his hand to push Wei Xiaobao behind him, and said in a low voice: "Go out and run to the room on the right." At the same time, he leaned forward and deliberately let out an ouch, attracting the man.
When he leaned down to check, the long sword had already been unsheathed. In a flash of cold light, the tip of the sword passed through his throat like a poisonous snake's tentacles, and blood suddenly appeared.
Before the man in front of him fell down, Liu Meng rolled around again. He turned around and stood up in front of another man. The long sword stuck behind his shoulder flashed fiercely, and he stabbed out with the sword, causing the wind to return and the electricity to surge!
The man was stabbed to the core.
Seeing the opponent suddenly getting up to attack, in the blink of an eye, two of his brothers were hit. The others were in an uproar, drawing knives and guns, shouting and rushing forward together. The white-haired old man, Mr. Zhang Sanye, was even more excited.
He yelled angrily: "Take them all for me, before you deal with them!"
Wei Xiaobao was the most clever at escaping. As soon as Liu Meng warned him, he was ready to escape. When Liu Meng took action, he immediately rushed out and ran out of the hall in a few steps. Regardless of the rain outside, he covered his head with his hands and walked along the courtyard.
Got into the room on the right.
Seeing that Wei Xiaobao had successfully escaped according to his instructions and also attracted two enemies, Liu Meng became determined and immediately imitated his example and jumped out of the hall door, tiptoeing like a monkey leaping up to the top of the corridor.
, turned around the pillars, and happened to meet the person chasing him head-on. This person was originally the closest, and after chasing out with a waist knife in his hand, his eyes blurred, and the figure disappeared. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw behind the pillars above his head.
There was a flash of light, and the Tianling Gai had been pierced by a sword.
Killing one of them with one sword, Liu Meng did not hesitate, turned around and jumped down, paying no attention to the few people who were chasing after him. He took eight steps to chase the cicadas, and in a few leaps, he rushed into the left side room.
With the faint light, he looked around and saw that the window was in the right position. Liu Meng ran to the window in a few steps, then picked up a small vase in his hand. When those people rushed to the door of the wing, he smashed it with a wheel, and then
He quickly dodged and jumped out of the window.
There were about four or five people chasing Liu Meng. The others were surrounding Mr. Zhang and standing at the door of the hall, pointing to both sides, thinking they were assigning tasks. The first ones to rush into the wing were two men with knives.
, was hit by the vase, and when dodging, he paused, blocking the people behind him. The man standing at the end was a man holding a spear. Because it was a long weapon, he didn't seem to be planning to rush into the room.
The person responsible should be the supporting role.
The man holding a spear suddenly heard the shouts of his accomplices behind him. He turned around in surprise and saw the chasing young man jumping out of the window and rushing towards him with a sword like a predatory beast. He was so frightened that he barely raised his hand.
He picked up his spear and stabbed the opponent. In a narrow environment, it was especially difficult to turn around with a long weapon. This man was easily dodged and bullied in front of him. He only felt a cold and numbness in his stomach, followed by a heart-broken colic.
Killing another one, Liu Meng casually moved the golden goose across the air, separated the man from the door and turned around and slashed back with a knife. Then he straightened up and rushed to the middle of the yard. He used eight steps with all his strength to drive away the cicadas and quickly passed through the rain.
He actually chased after Wei Xiaobao into the right room that he had just entered.
