Chapter 223 God's crossbow is unparalleled, but only three arrows
"Sir, the people in Commander Xiaotang's mansion hide people here." At this time, Yang Tai's general came close to him and said to Yang Tai sadly.
It is said that Yan Qing, a smart and intelligent person from the Xiaotang faction, and Shi Qian, who is very good at inquiring about information, are the most suitable candidates to secretly visit the witnesses of Yang Tai's massacre in the village. But Rang County, where Dengzhou is located, is Yang Tai's territory.
Most of the urban foxes and rats in the city also have close relationships with the generals of the Yangtai mansion.
By coincidence, the minions in Yang Tai's mansion found Zhang Fang's home when they were ordered to control the insiders of the murder case. Only then did they learn that he had been taken away by people from the mansion of Xiaotang Commander. Although they could not openly pursue and arrest him, they had already
They sent people to watch and monitor around the Shuaisi Mansion. At that time, the doormen, officials, and servants who went in and out of the Shuaisi Mansion were all locals from Rang County. There were many people and they were out of sight. Yan Qing and Shi Qian wanted to avoid alerting the enemy, so they only
He was able to take Zhang and Li away from the public eye and place them in this inn.
There are not many hiding places in Rang County, and Tang Pengxiu has to buy medicinal materials and cook them every day. He suffers from tuberculosis, so he needs to calm down and take care of himself to relieve the condition. There are clever experts in Yangtai Mansion who will follow the clues in the medicine shop and find out.
Finally, they discovered the hiding place.
Originally, Yan Qing had thought that the risk of being exposed if he hid here for a long time was very high. As the saying goes, he should find another place to hide the two witnesses. But just in time, Xiao Tang led his army back to the city. Originally, Xiao Tang
He should rush here tonight, and then he will advise Xiao Tang to take Zhang and Li to the commander's mansion. Since Xiao Tang has led his troops back to Rang County, then Yang Tai has eaten the bear's heart leopard.
I don't dare to break into the handsome man's house and rob people openly.
However, Xiao Tang did not expect that because Xiao Tang had to receive the unexpected visit of Yu Guangting, the two were delayed in discussing matters in the mansion. At this juncture, Yang Tai led his minions to the inn where Yan Qing, Tang Pengxiu and others were staying...
.
Yang Tai pulled down the black cloth that covered his mouth and nose, revealing his ferocious face. He said viciously: "You remember! You must kill those two murderers who cheated on them! If anyone else dares to stop them, they will be killed."
And kill!"
Another confidant beside him hesitated and said: "But my lord... it would be too ostentatious to kill someone openly in the city."
Damn, do I still have a way out now? If I don’t kill those two today, why don’t I wait until that guy Xiao Tang lands the guillotine on his neck!? Yang Tai snorted coldly and said to his minions:
"I also know that what happens tonight will put you in some danger. After all, this matter is very important to me. As long as I can help eliminate future troubles tonight, I will give each of you three ingots of garlic gold!"
When the confidants and minions around Yang Tai heard this, all the hesitations and fears in their hearts disappeared immediately. A piece of garlic weighed from seven to eight taels to twelve taels, which was a windfall that they could squander for a long time!
This time Yang Tai also spent a lot of money to kill people and silence them. In addition to the more than forty people present, there was also a crony who led fifty men in black to set up an ambush in the dark alleys around the inn. Today, these people led by Yang Tai are all
He was his confidant in the mansion and the army. Yang Tai paid a lot of money to eliminate future troubles. After the incident was completed, everyone would lead the Yamen of the prefecture to flee back to Yang Tai's mansion. After all, he was still the military commander of South Jingxi Road.
, who would dare to go to his house to arrest him?
The minions under his command no longer had any doubts. As soon as Yang Tai made a gesture, the only one among them who was not wearing night clothes and had an ordinary appearance walked out of the alley and walked straight to the inn.
At this time, the waiter of the inn was yawning and was about to close the door when he saw someone walking to the door of the inn. The waiter complained secretly in his heart, but he also went up to apologize and said with a smile: "Sir, you want to stay..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the man covered his mouth tightly and held a wrist-breaking knife to his chest. "I'm just here to find someone. If you don't want to die, just shut up!" The man threatened the waiter in a low voice.
When he said that, seven or eight black-clothed assassins saw that there was no one else in the inn lobby at this time, and they also poured in. There were also several Yang Tai minions at the door holding powerful crossbows, gently pulling the string of the rifle, "Crack!"
A few crisp sounds passed by in a flash and were almost inaudible.
But the waiter's words suddenly stopped, and the sound of the crossbow outside the inn door was still heard clearly by one person.
At this time, Shi Qian was on the second floor of the inn under the orders of Xiao Tang, and together with Yan Qing took care of the drummer who testified against Yang Tai. Shi Qian was about to undress and go to bed to rest, when suddenly his ears twitched. Shi Qian was a thief, and not only had the ability to fly over walls and walls, but he also
He has an eye for all directions and an ear for all directions. His eyesight and ears are not only better than those of ordinary people, but his temperament is also very cautious and refined. At that time, Qian noticed the slight abnormal noise coming from the first floor of the inn. He immediately walked to the door with his waist hunched over and checked the guest room.
The door opened a small crack and he stepped out.
At that time, Qian was crawling on the second floor and looking down, he saw several men in black tying the waiter to the side, holding a knife and asking him questions in a low voice. Two more men were at the inn.
On the front cabinet was a ledger that recorded the names of guests staying at the hotel.
Shi Qian's face changed, and he hurriedly walked to Yan Qing's door, calling in a low voice: "Brother Xiao Yi! Someone has come to the inn, it seems they are Yang Tai's men!"
When Yan Qing quietly sneaked out of the guest room, he lowered his body with Shi Qian and saw that the waiter below had been stabbed to death. A dozen men in black were slowly walking up the stairs with steel knives in their hands. And the inn
The door was also tightly guarded, and in the dead of night, the entire inn was already filled with murderous aura.
"Brother Shi Qian, I went to the Commander's Mansion to report to Brother Xiao that there were assassins coming to kill him and silence him!" Yan Qing said to Shi Qian.
Shi Qian was not good at fighting with others. At this time, he really needed someone to go to Shuai Si Mansion early to report the news to Xiao Tang and attract help. But Shi Qian glanced downstairs again and said worriedly: "But Brother Xiao Yi
...There are many thieves, how can I let you put yourself in danger alone?"
Yan Qing's handsome and heroic face had a solemn expression at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "In this situation, one more person can't help anything. Brother Shi Qian had already arrived at the Shuaisi Mansion to see Brother Xiao, and Miss Pengxiu and I were here
Less dangerous!"
Shi Qian also knew this. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded, then quietly went back to his room. Shi Qian quietly opened the window, and when he looked down, he saw people wearing clothes in the alleys around the inn.
The man in black gradually became more and more looming. Shi Qian suddenly became wise. He picked up the cotton pillow and threw it out of the window, meowing in his mouth. Yang Tai's minions guarding below saw a black shadow flying in the night sky.
I was startled, and when I heard the cat meowing again, I couldn't help cursing in my heart: Straight motherfucker! At such a critical time, there are beasts causing trouble!
Just when the attention of Yang Tai's minions hiding in the alley was attracted, Shi Qian climbed up the window like a spiritual ape and jumped. His light body flew across the moonlit night, and he grabbed the inn with both hands. When he reached the eaves of the shop below, he kicked his legs and jumped up to the roof.
However, there were many people in black ambushing around the inn. Although Shi Qian attracted most people's attention, when he jumped out of the window and climbed to the roof with his ability to walk over walls and eaves, someone happened to look over. The man in black saw a group of ghost-like figures floating out of thin air. He couldn't help but screamed in fright: "Who is it!?"
Such a shout immediately alerted all Yang Tai's black-clothed assassins around the inn. Shi Qian cursed secretly, and ran wildly on the roof, galloping and leaping up and down, and ran straight in the direction of Shuai Si's Mansion. .
When the black-clad assassins in the inn heard a shout outside, they no longer tiptoed toward the second floor of the inn, but jumped up and rushed straight up the stairs.
At this moment, a crossbow arrow shot through the air and plunged straight into the throat of the man in black who was rushing at the front! The man fell back with a muffled sound, and knocked several of his accomplices with a bang. Knocked down the steps.
At this time, the noise was heard all over the inn. Tang Pengxiu was panicking and was about to rush out to find out what was going on. But as soon as he reached the door, he heard Yan Qing whispering outside the door: "Miss Pengxiu, please don't come out! That guy Yang Tai is just here." In order to find Zhang Fang, Officer Li and the two of them silenced themselves, which may not bring bad luck to the ordinary hotel guests. Just hide in the room and don't let that guy Yang Tai see you!"
After Yan Qingfang spoke to Tang Pengxiu, he lowered himself down at the entrance of the corridor so that Yang Tai's minions below could not see his figure clearly. Yan Qing saw a man in black flashing through the door of the inn, hissing and yelling, and ordered to get started When the man in black came up the stairs again, he made a prompt decision. The ebony crossbow with red teeth in his hand made a soft sound, and a short arrow turned into a flying star with cold light. He killed the man in black who was giving the order with one arrow!
They wanted to make a sneak attack and assassinate them, but they were killed without even seeing the opponent's figure clearly. All the black-clothed assassins in the inn were frightened. Just as they looked at each other, they heard Yan Qing laugh heartily and said: "My brother has been waiting for you for a long time." In anticipation of your return, I have been ordered to wait here for a long time! Whoever wants to come to seek death can just come forward!"
Although Yan Qing lied to the enemy, cold sweat fell down his forehead for a moment. Although his Sichuan crossbow could pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps and the arrows hit the target, he only carried three short arrows. Although Yan Qing had Hua Rong personally teach him the art of archery. , the skill of bow and arrow is also extremely extraordinary, but now he is in the city after all, Yan Qing only carries the Sichuan crossbow without the bow and arrow, and now there is only one arrow left. He can only seize the opportunity and use his words to frighten the enemies who have many deceitful enemies.
At first, Yan Qing used the Sichuan crossbow for fun. Soon after learning the crossbow, this talented prodigal son became a master of all kinds. Later, Yan Qing used the crossbow to win prizes in Damingfu and Tokyo Bianliang Championship Club. , Although he made hundreds of hits with his crossbow, Yan Qing habitually carried only three short arrows with him. For a talented man like him, this was also a way for Yan Qing to express his pride.
But this situation was the first time that Yan Qing regretted that he had always been too trusting. If he had carried more than a dozen crossbows, how could he have faced such a dangerous situation?
