In Cai Wen's view, Xiao Mingsheng and Inoue Jungoro died, as did Xue Lun, Wu Ke, and hundreds of desperadoes he had trained who dared to fight and kill.
Even those who were beaten by Li Huantie would not be able to survive being surrounded and killed by hundreds of desperadoes.
Sun Wei also recovered from the shock and looked at the man in black with some hope.
The man in black shook his head and said: "I don't know, but when I saw Xiao Mingsheng, Inoue Jungoro and the others were dead, I hurried back to report to you."
Cai Wen snorted coldly when he heard this and said: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you go check it out quickly?"
The figure of the man in black disappeared into the night, and the courtyard was quiet. After a while, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, do you think we have to take the last step?"
Sun Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, there is no rush for now, let's wait for the final result to come out."
Most of the houses in the Green Bamboo Garden here have been ignited, and all the pavilions and pavilions have turned into a sea of fire. Even if you stand in this wide courtyard, you can feel the breath of rolling waves of fire coming from all around.
Xue Lun and Wu Ke looked at each other and retreated together, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.
The reaction of the two people was really unexpected. Obviously, they did not expect that these two people would react like this.
Xue Lun's eyes flashed with crazy murderous intent and shouted: "Firegunners and crossbowmen, come here!"
Immediately, dozens of gunmen and crossbowmen gathered among hundreds of bandits.
With Cai Wen's status, it is really not difficult to get some fire guns and crossbows, but people like Xue Lun have always respected close combat, so they don't have much interest in fire guns and crossbows.
.
Of course, this has something to do with the shortcomings of the muskets and crossbows, so among the hundreds of people this time, there were only a few dozen musketeers and crossbowmen.
In the previous fierce attack, many Jin Yiwei were killed in the hands of these gunmen and crossbowmen without any precautions.
However, when it comes to close combat, muskets and crossbows lose their long-range advantage.
Now Xue Lun Zhao Ji, a crossbowman and a musketeer, obviously wanted to use such sharp weapons as a musket and a crossbow to target Li Huan.
When dozens of gunmen and crossbowmen gathered around them, Xue Lun, Wu Ke and the others felt a little more secure.
Li Huan looked at the gunmen and the crossbowmen and couldn't help but frowned. As for Meng Hui and Du Guang, they looked at Li Huan with worried faces and said: "Sir, firearms, crossbows are powerful and invincible, so why not
Retreat first..."
Li Huan shook his head, looked at the people fighting between the two sides not far away, and said: "Once we retreat, our brothers will definitely be chased by each other, and there will definitely be heavy casualties."
Meng Hui gritted his teeth and said, "But my lord, your safety is the most important thing. How can my subordinates put you in danger?"
Li Huan smiled slightly, glanced at Wang Yangming who was calm and calm not far away, and said in his heart: "Mr. Yangming, you and I will work together to defeat these enemies first and then capture Cai Wen. How about Gu Huang?"
Hearing what Li Huan said, Wang Yangming smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Li has spoken, Wang will be disrespectful."
Meng Hui and Du Guang, on the other hand, looked at Wang Yangming, who was elegant and elegant, and then looked at Li Huan, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.
They had just seen Li Huan's extraordinary strength, but what about Wang Yangming? Isn't this just an ordinary scholar? How could he listen to his master? It seems that this Wang Yangming is still a hidden person.
What a master.
In the astonished eyes of Meng Hui and Du Guang, Wang Yangming strode towards him with fluttering clothes. With one sweep of his hand, he easily swept away a thief holding a long sword, but the long sword in the thief's hand
But it has fallen into the hands of Wang Yangming.
I heard Wang Yangming chuckle and say: "Since Wang became successful in cultivation, he has never fought against anyone, but today he is going to go on a killing spree."
Li Huan laughed when he heard this and said: "There is a saying in Buddhism that killing is to save life. These thieves are all people with bloody hands and can be killed. Mr. Yangming doesn't have to worry about it."
Wang Yangming couldn't help laughing loudly and said: "Wang is not worried about killing some thieves."
While he was talking, he saw Wang Yangming walking into the crowd with great ease and ease. When one of the thieves saw Wang Yangming, a scholar walking over with a sword in his hand, his eyes lit up and he swung his sword towards Wang Yangming.
"Lord Wang!"
Meng Hui and Du Guang exclaimed, and instinctively wanted to save Wang Yangming. Unfortunately, before they could take action, they saw a flash of sword light, and Wang Yangming easily slit the thieves' throat with his long sword.
With the flash of sword light, figures fell down beside Wang Yangming one after another. Whether they were ordinary thieves, third-rate masters or even second-rate masters, they were all killed with one sword in front of Wang Yangming.
By the time Meng Hui and Du Guang came to their senses with shock on their faces, more than a dozen thieves had fallen around Wang Yangming.
Li Huan withdrew his gaze at this time. The strength displayed by Wang Yangming was obviously beyond his expectation. He really thought that this sage-like figure who could command the army to kill enemies and put down rebellions and govern the country and secure the country was powerless.
What a rotten scholar.
It must be said that Wang Yangming, who gave the impression of being powerless, only managed to suppress Xue Lun, Wu Ke and others with this move.
For a moment, these thieves leaders couldn't help but secretly complain. They originally thought that Cai Wen, Sun Wei and the others were making a fuss about this mission. They didn't pay much attention to it before, but now they realized that Cai Wen and Sun Wei were not here.
Wei and the others looked down upon Li Huan and his party.
This is simply too much looking down on people like Li Huan.
The strength shown by Li Huan alone was enough to kill several of them. I originally thought that they could hold Li Huan back until all the Jin Yiwei were killed, and then they would join together and rely on the strength of their numbers to take advantage of them.
The heap of lives will also be heaped to death for Li Huan.
Now, fortunately, Wang Yangming, a seemingly harmless scholar, actually showed his unpredictable strength as soon as he made a move.
Especially when they saw whether the third-rate or second-rate masters came forward and were killed by Wang Yangming's sword, Xue Lun and Wu Ke murmured in their hearts, this is too scary. Even if they were replaced, they didn't know if they could do it.
Take the next move.
Thinking of Li Huan killing Xiao Mingsheng with one move and defeating Inoue Jungoro, Xue Lun, Wu Ke suddenly felt that they didn't look at the almanac when they went out today, and unexpectedly encountered such two strong and unreasonable monsters.
Li Huan certainly didn't know what Xue Lun, Wu Ke and the others were thinking, but since Wang Yangming had already started taking action, he couldn't lag behind, right?
As soon as he shook the iron rod in his hand, the iron rod roared towards him, killing several unlucky people on the spot amidst the screams and screams of the gunmen and crossbowmen.
Even Xue Lun and Wu Ke were so frightened that they ducked away and almost had their bones and muscles broken by the iron rod.
"Shoot, shoot him to death."
Li Huan swayed and rushed directly towards Xue Lun, Wu Ke and others.
bang, bang, bang
The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and projectiles roared towards Li Huan. Not only the projectiles, but also the crossbow arrows shot by powerful crossbows. If they shot like this, it would be a first-rate expert. If he was shot,
I was afraid that I would die on the spot.
The long knife in Li Huan's hand danced, and a clanking sound was heard. Whether it was projectiles or crossbow arrows, Li Huan blocked them all with his long knife.
In just a moment, Li Huan crossed a distance of several feet and rushed in front of these gunmen and crossbowmen. The long knife suddenly brought out pieces of blood, and various broken limbs flew out.
Huan was like a killing machine, clearing away the enemies within a few feet of him in the blink of an eye.
With Li Huan as the center, at least twenty or thirty thieves fell on the ground. The death of these thieves was extremely miserable, and none of them could remain intact.
The rest of the crossbowmen and musketeers had long been frightened out of fear. They screamed and threw away the muskets in their hands, and the crossbowmen hid far away.
Li Huan felt that his surroundings were empty, and couldn't help but stop and look at the frightened Xue Lun. Wu Ke and others said: "If you only have this strength, then you can all stay here today."
At this time, Li Huan looked around. As Wang Yangming took action, Meng Hui and Du Guang also rushed into the bandits, killing them like chopping melons and vegetables. In an instant, the situation of Jin Yiwei being suppressed by the bandits was reversed.
From this point alone, we can see that in such a small-scale fight, a strong martial artist can almost play a decisive role.
Just like the Jin Yiwei were easily crushed by first-class players such as Xiao Mingsheng and Xue Lun before, now that there are no such strong men in charge, the situation that the Jin Yiwei suffered before is happening to these thieves.
Meng Hui slashed away one of the thieves with his sword, and said angrily: "Now, let you rebel thieves have a taste of what it means to treat others with their own medicine."
Xue Lun and Wu Ke were not blind. The situation that was originally favorable to them was immediately reversed when Wang Yangming, Li Huan, Du Guang, and Meng Hui took action.
On their side, Xiao Mingsheng and Inoue Jungoro were beheaded by Li Huan. Even the two of them were targeted by Li Huan, and they did not dare to take action against those ordinary Jinyi guards.
The defeat was already decided, so the two of them had this thought in their minds.
"Let's go! Leave the green hills behind and don't worry about having no firewood!"
As thieves, they were naturally tainted with the habits of thieves. When they were sure they were no match, the two instinctively chose to save their lives.
With such thoughts in their minds, the two of them turned around and left.
When Li Huan saw this, he sneered and said behind him, "Bring me my arrows."
They saw a royal guard handing Li Huan the bow gifted by the emperor. Li Huan bent the bow and set an arrow. The sound of arrows piercing the air was heard. The next moment, Xue Lun, who had escaped dozens of feet away, was shot through the heart by an arrow.
The whole person was forcibly nailed to death under the burning gate of Green Bamboo Garden.
When Wu Ke heard Xue Lun's screams, he glanced instinctively, and happened to see Xue Lun being nailed to death by an arrow. Endless fear and crisis suddenly arose in his heart, and he screamed loudly, almost as a conditioned reflex:
"Spare my life..."
Unfortunately, before he could cry out for mercy, a sharp pain hit his vest, and with a buzzing sound, his whole body was nailed to the bluestone slab.
After Li Huan shot two arrows, he didn't look at the two men again. Instead, he threw the bow to the imperial guard beside him, and then slashed at the thieves with his sword.
As the bandit leaders Xue Lun, Wu Ke, and Xiao Mingsheng were killed one by one by Li Huan, the morale of the bandits who relied on their temporary bravery naturally dropped sharply, especially Xue Lun and Wu Ke who escaped but were shot dead by Li Huan on the spot.
That scene directly caused all the thieves to collapse.
By now, most of the hundreds of thieves had been killed or injured, and the remaining nearly two hundred people were also frightened out of their wits. How could they think of besieging the Jin Yiwei? At this moment, they only regretted that their parents had given them fewer legs.
.
After a thorough pursuit, nearly a hundred thieves were left behind, but the rest still escaped without a trace under the cover of night.
Amidst the crackling sound, the fire spread completely, and the entire Green Bamboo Garden was plunged into a sea of flames.
The surviving Jin Yiwei looked at the blazing Green Bamboo Garden and then at the bodies of their companions who fell on the ground. The joy of killing the bandits suddenly disappeared.
At this time, Li Huan looked at Meng Hui, Du Guang, and Chen Yao who looked solemn and asked: "How are the casualties of the brothers?"
Meng Hui and Du Guang looked at each other and heard Chen Yao sigh softly: "Sir, our brothers have injured thirty-eight people and killed seventy-two..."
With a click, Li Huan slapped a big tree, breaking the big tree directly.
Exhaling a breath, Li Huan said: "It's my fault that I didn't expect Cai Wen to be so heartless and crazy that his brothers suffered heavy casualties."
Meng Hui, Du Guang, and Chen Yao shook their heads and said: "This matter is not to blame, sir. If only we are to blame for our lack of academic skills and for underestimating these thieves."
At this moment, Wang Yangming glanced at Li Huan and said: "Master Li, actually you have tried your best. As the saying goes, God is not as good as man. Even if you calculated that Cai Wenhui would send people to attack and take precautions this time, the result would actually be the same."
It may not be much better than it is now.”
Li Huan naturally understood what Wang Yangming meant. After all, there were hundreds of desperadoes, especially a few top-notch warriors.
Even if he had made complete preparations in advance, a fight would still be inevitable, unless he had the strength to kill all his opponents in an instant.
It's a pity that he obviously doesn't have such ability, so as long as they fight, death and injury are inevitable. It's impossible that just because they are Jin Yiwei, they won't die.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Li Huan said with a flash of light in his eyes: "Mr. Yangming, since Cai Wen himself took the initiative to give us the opportunity, then we will take the opportunity to capture all his followers in one fell swoop."
Li Huan said with a sneer and said: "This is murdering an imperial envoy. It is treacherous. It is a serious crime that will punish the nine tribes."
Originally, Li Huan's plan was to capture Cai Wen and Gu Huang first, but he didn't expect that Cai Wen was so crazy and had the big label of murdering the imperial envoy. If he cleansed the entire Fujian officialdom, he would go to court.
The officials in the hall couldn't say anything.
A sharp look flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes. Today's encounter obviously touched Wang Yangming deeply. He heard Wang Yangming say: "Wang went to get Gu Huang."
Li Huan showed a sneer on his lips and said: "It's not just Gu Huang, please ask Mr. Yangming to go to the Chief Envoy's Yamen and summon all the officials in the city. Anyone who doesn't come will be punished for treason."
Wang Yangming's figure disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.
Watching Wang Yangming go away, a cold look flashed in Li Huan's eyes. He took out a warrant and said to Meng Hui: "Meng Baihu, take my warrant and go see the commander of the guards, Dong Huan. He is the nephew of the commander of the capital, Dong Cheng.
He will cooperate with our actions. Tell him, let him lead people to block the four gates of Fuzhou for me. Without my order, not even a fly can fly out of Fuzhou City. If there is resistance, he will be killed without mercy!"
Meng Hui received the warrant, immediately got on his horse and ran towards the guard station stationed outside the city.
Looking at the remaining people, Li Huan said to Du Guang: "Du Guang, take a dozen brothers to stay here to take care of the injured brothers, and the rest will follow me to see Cai Wen."
Green Bamboo Garden was the place where the imperial envoys stayed. After the welcome banquet, all the officials went back to their homes to rest. Many officials who were originally worried relaxed a lot after meeting Li Huan, and many of them fell asleep.
Good sleep.
For example, this was the case with Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou. Although he said that he had sold favors to the Lin family in advance, he still had no idea.
However, after meeting Li Huan, Huang Wenzheng discovered that Li Huan was not that old-fashioned and unkind person, so he was naturally very happy.
At this moment, Huang Wenzheng was sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms, when suddenly there was a violent slapping sound outside the bedroom.
"My lord, my lord, get up quickly, something serious is going to happen!"
Huang Wenzheng, who was disturbed by his sweet dream, was being promoted to a higher rank because he hugged Li Huan's lap, but he was woken up.
With a bit of anger, Huang Wenzheng sat up and scolded: "Why are you shouting in the middle of the night? Even if it is a big deal, can't we wait until dawn?"
The staff member almost cried: "Sir, this is really a big deal. Please get up quickly."
Huang Wenzheng stood up reluctantly, changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He looked at the frightened staff and said, "What on earth happened."
At this time, Huang Wenzheng was also a little worried, because he knew his staff very well and would not disturb him if it was not a big deal.
But now it seems that his staff has been frightened. Can what happened be too small?
"The Imperial Envoy...the Green Bamboo Garden where the Imperial Envoy stayed turned into a sea of fire..."
His body staggered, and Huang Wenzheng felt as if his head was buzzing. If his staff hadn't helped him in time, he might have been shaken to the ground at this moment.
"Green Bamboo Garden turned into a sea of fire..."
Huang Wenzheng murmured in his mouth, suddenly stretched out his big chubby hand and grabbed the staff's neck, and shouted almost like crazy: "Who did it? Who is it? I have no enmity with him, why do you want to harm me like this...
…”
No wonder Huang Wenzheng would react like this. He was the prefect of Fuzhou. If something happened to Li Huan and his party in Fuzhou City, the court would first accuse him. Who made him the prefect of Fuzhou and responsible for everything in Fuzhou?
thing.
The staff member's face turned blue after being pinched. He coughed violently and said with difficulty, "Sir, things may not be as bad as you think. What if the imperial envoy is okay?"
Huang Wenzheng was stunned, and a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in his originally desperate eyes, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there are so many people protecting the imperial envoy, how could he be killed so easily!"
As he spoke, Huang Wenzheng yelled at his staff: "Quick, quick, let me order the troops, I am going to protect the imperial envoy."
At this time, no one hoped that Li Huan would be safe and sound more than Huang Wenzheng. If the imperial envoy Li Huan died, Huang Wenzheng would be the most suitable scapegoat, and he would not be able to escape the consequences of confiscating his family and exterminating his family.
Therefore, even if there is a glimmer of hope, Huang Wenzheng will find a way to find Li Huan to determine whether Li Huan is alive or dead.
Soon Huang Wenzheng ordered a team of servants and servants to come and join him.
When you get close to the Green Bamboo Garden, you can see the light of the fire rising into the sky from a distance.
When he saw the fire that illuminated half of the sky, Huang Wenzheng's heart sank.
He is not a fool. If Green Bamboo Garden is really an ordinary water escape, there are so many Jin Yiwei there. Even if all the Jin Yiwei are slow to react, they will not be able to let the fire burn to such an extent.
This clearly shows that someone deliberately set the fire, and since the fire could burn so big, it is conceivable that a large group of people must have attacked the imperial envoy and his party. This is why the Jin Yiwei did not even have time to put out the fire.
The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became. Huang Wenzheng even had the most suspicious suspect in his mind for having done such a crazy thing.
On the soft sedan, Huang Wenzheng punched the window frame and said through gritted teeth: "Cai, you are a fucking lunatic..."
At this moment, a group of people suddenly came towards us from the front. The leader, a guard in gilded clothes, held a knife and shouted: "Who is coming!"
When a group of officers saw the oncoming team of Jin Yiwei, they couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly, the staff member shouted in great surprise: "Sir, sir, it's Jin Yiwei, it's from Jin Yiwei!"
With a pop, Huang Wenzheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair and gritted his teeth with hatred for Cai Wen, felt happy when he heard the shouts of his staff. He stepped on the air in a hurry and fell to the ground with a pop, frightening the servants who followed him.
One jump.
Li Huan sat on his horse and watched from a distance, and he quickly figured out that these people should be servants of the government and servants of which family.
There was chaos in the team. Li Huan's eyes narrowed and he happened to see a somewhat familiar official step out excitedly and fall to the ground with a thud.
Li Huan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that situation.
Huang Wenzheng didn't care about this and got up from the ground. No matter how embarrassed he was, he ran directly towards Li Huan.
The first time he saw Li Huan, Huang Wenzheng suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful. Finally, Huang Wenzheng and his family no longer had to be buried with Li Huan.
Thinking of this, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help but burst into tears. He just lay down in front of Li Huan and cried loudly: "The imperial envoy is fine, God has eyes, God has eyes... Wuwuwu..."
Looking at Huang Wenzheng's excited expression, it felt like his own parents might not be so excited even if they came back from the dead.
Li Huan didn't know what kind of mental journey Huang Wenzheng had gone through before, but Huang Wenzheng was also a prefect after all, and even Li Huan was a little embarrassed to cry so sadly in front of him.
He got off his horse and personally helped Huang Wenzheng up and said, "Prefect Huang, what are you doing..."
Huang Wenzheng looked at Li Huan and made sure that Li Huan was fine. His heart was completely relieved and he said: "My lord, I don't know something. I suddenly heard that there was a fire in Green Bamboo Garden. I was worried about my lord's safety and was very anxious. Suddenly
When I saw the adults, I was so excited that I couldn't restrain my excitement, which actually made the adults laugh."
Li Huan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Although he somewhat understood why Huang Wenzheng was so concerned about his own safety, the fact that Huang Wenzheng had such a reaction meant that Huang Wenzheng was probably unaware, unlike people like Cai Wen and Gu Huang. I wish he died immediately.
With his heart moving, Li Huan turned cold and said to Huang Wenzheng: "Prefect Huang, did you know that a group of thieves attacked the Green Bamboo Garden tonight, intending to assassinate me, and even burned the Green Bamboo Garden to a white ground with a fire? The imperial envoy asked you, what do you, the prefect, do for food..."
Huang Wenzheng suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be happy too early. Li Huan was indeed fine, but this did not mean that he could escape responsibility.
Li Huan, the imperial envoy, was actually assassinated in Fuzhou City. He didn't want anyone to take the blame for this. Once he was found guilty of lax governance, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
He had not enjoyed enough of this glory and wealth. When he thought that he was very likely to take the blame for others, Huang Wenzheng became angry and said immediately: "My lord, everything has nothing to do with the lower officials. It is Cai Wen, it must be Cai Wen who did it." .”
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but look at Huang Wenzheng in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Huang Wenzheng would insist that Cai Wenzheng did it.
Seeming to see the confusion on Li Huan's face, Huang Wenzheng was ready to take the risk and said without hesitation: "Sir, the case of the Han Ling family of thousands of Jin Yiwei guards was done by Cai Wen's people. He also killed people and silenced them. After destroying the body in the fire and extinguishing traces, I didn't expect that he would be so crazy that he even wanted to murder the imperial envoy. It must be him. I can guarantee that it is Cai Wen who is responsible for this attack on your Majesty."
Li Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when Huang Wenzheng said that Cai Wen was responsible for the murder of Han Ling's family.
He knew that such a big matter could not be hidden from others, certainly not Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou.
To say that Huang Wenzheng knew nothing, we can only say that Huang Wenzheng was a complete waste, but how could a waste become the prefect of Fuzhou?
Taking a deep breath and looking at Huang Wenzheng who was looking at him expectantly, Li Huan said: "This imperial envoy captured several thieves alive. They confessed that they attacked the imperial envoy on the order of Cai Wen, the envoy of the imperial envoy. .”
Huang Wenzheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "He's crazy. Cai Wen must be crazy. Sir, I am willing to go with you to arrest Cai Wen and bring him to justice."
