With a slight smile on his face, Linghu Chong stared at the courtyard door for a while, making sure that Yue Buqun had really left. Then Linghu Chong quietly left the room, first looking towards the room next door where his junior sister was.
One glance.
The door of the next room was closed. Needless to say, Yue Lingshan should be meditating and practicing Qigong at the moment. Just like herself before, with Yue Buqun around, it could be said that she would always urge them not to forget to practice.
After listening carefully for a while, Linghu Chong quietly walked towards the woodshed.
Qian Li was swept into the firewood shed by Yue Buqun before, and he was knocked unconscious at that time. This means that Yue Buqun did not mean to kill Qian Li in front of Linghu Chong, otherwise Qian Li might have died.
.
But even so, Qian Li lay on the ground unable to move for a long time. It took a long time before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Li tried his best to move to the corner and sat down against the wall. He thought that Yue Buqun must have heard about his family outside, otherwise he would never go out. His attitude suddenly changed drastically.
Previously, Yue Buqun was very unfavorable to him, and even showed some caution towards him. If Qian Li could not see this, then it would be in vain for him to serve as Qian Zhong's staff for so many years and give advice to Qian Zhong.
Qian Li saw that Yue Buqun didn't like him and even planned to leave him. At that time, Qian Li was thinking about how to follow Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong and the others to leave the crisis-ridden Fuzhou City.
Unfortunately, before he could come up with any solution, Yue Buqun immediately fell out.
"Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun, as long as Qian doesn't die, Qian will never forget today's humiliation."
In the quiet woodshed, Qian Li's low and sinister curses echoed.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened with a creak and then closed again. Qian Li, who was leaning against the wall to rest, woke up immediately. Qian Li couldn't help but feel shaken.
"Is this because Yue Buqun has gone out?"
Obviously Qian Li had figured out that Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were strictly ordered not to leave the courtyard by Yue Buqun, so it must be Yue Buqun who left at this time.
If Yue Buqun was around, he felt like he couldn't hide his thoughts from the other party at all, but if Yue Buqun wasn't around, his chance seemed to have come.
Regarding the fact that Yue Buqun would take Linghu Chong to the execution ground tomorrow to expose his true identity, Qian Li knew what his reputation was among the people.
Normally, that's all. Where is the power of the Qian family? No matter how much the people hate their Qian family members, no one would dare to chew their Qian family's tongue behind their backs.
But now that the Qian family is about to be destroyed, there is naturally no deterrent. Based on the things the Qian family does in daily life, how many people have been harmed and how much public resentment has been accumulated, even Qian Li himself does not know, but there is one thing
He can guarantee that no one will say anything good about the Qian family when the time comes.
He might even publicize the evil deeds his Qian family had done in an extremely exaggerated way. Of course, even if he didn't do any exaggerated publicity, if Linghu Chong found out what he had done, he really couldn't guarantee that he would do it.
Will he still believe in himself and stand in front of Yue Buqun to protect him?
Originally, he thought that he might be doomed this time, but he never thought that Yue Buqun would leave at this time. This gave Qian Li hope.
Just as Qian Li was trying hard to crawl toward the door to see if he could summon Linghu Chong, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the door.
The next moment, he saw a figure flashing into the woodshed. Qian Li suddenly looked up and saw Linghu Chong with a concerned look on his face.
The moment he saw Linghu Chong, a look of surprise flashed in Qian Li's eyes, and then he said with a touch of emotion on his face: "Young Master Linghu, I didn't expect you to come see me."
When Linghu Chong entered the woodshed, he saw Qian Li's face was pale and he was lying on the ground in a miserable state. He looked extremely miserable.
Thinking that the other party was hurt by him, Linghu Chong quickly stepped forward and helped Qian Li up, letting him sit down on a piece of wood next to him, and said with a hint of apology: "Mr. Qian, I'm really sorry.
Master, he was deceived by the government. In a moment of anger, he hurt the husband. Please don’t blame the master."
Qian Li hated Yue Buqun to death in his heart, but he said with a bitter smile on his face: "What did Young Master Linghu say? Master Yue was also deceived by the traitor Li Huan, so he misunderstood Qian.
As a chivalrous person, Master Yue will naturally not condone those beasts that kill people and bully men and women, so Qian understands Master Yue’s feelings very well and has never blamed Master Yue.”
As he spoke, Qian Li looked at Linghu Chong and said: "As long as Young Master Linghu believes that Qian is not that evil-doing person, then Qian will have no complaints even if he was beaten to death by Master Yue. After all, Qian
This life was originally saved by Young Hero Linghu, and we just treat it as if it was returned to Young Hero Linghu."
After listening to Qian Li's words, Linghu Chong felt more and more guilty. He looked at Qian Li and said, "Mr. Qian, you really understand the righteousness. If the master heard what Mr. Qian said, he would definitely not do it."
I misunderstood you sir again like before."
Linghu Chong said, "Master has gone out now. Why don't you wait for Master to come back? I will personally help you explain to Master..."
Hearing this, Qian Li couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Young Master Linghu, please say goodbye. The young master has good intentions and Qian accepts it. It's just that the master has a deep prejudice against Qian. Even if the young master Linghu goes to explain, I'm afraid that the respected master will not accept it."
Even the master won’t believe it, and it may even make the respected master unhappy.”
Taking a breath, Qian Li continued: "Qian is a damned person, so don't let a damned person like Qian come to ruin the relationship between Young Hero Linghu and your respected master. If that's the case, I will
It’s better to die immediately.”
After hearing this, Linghu Chong said anxiously: "What did Mr. Qian say? What did he say about death? My master is not the kind of person who can't listen to other people's reasoning. I will try my best to persuade the master and I will not let him hurt Mr. Qian."
…”
Seeing Linghu Chong's appearance, Qian Li almost couldn't help but yell in his heart, "You bastard, can't you understand what I mean? You just want to explain to Yue Buqun, why don't you want to send me away quietly?"
After coughing for a while, Qian Li said with a sluggish look: "If Master Yue doesn't listen and just believes what the government says, I would like to ask Young Master Linghu not to stop him, and also ask Young Master Linghu to kill Qian himself.
, so Qian will die with no regrets."
Linghu Chong said hurriedly: "No, how can this be possible? I wonder if Mr. Qian can do anything to prevent you from getting hurt?"
Qian Li hesitated for a while and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but didn't want to. Linghu Chong, who only looked at him, said eagerly: "Sir, just say whatever you have to say. Even if there is any difficulty, as long as I
If you can do it, you will definitely not refuse."
Qian Li sighed: "For the current plan, the problem can only be solved if Qian leaves here. As long as Qian leaves, the respected master will be angry if he can't see Qian. At most, he will be angry for a while."
When Linghu Chong heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded and said, "Yes, this method is good, why didn't I think of it?"
Linghu Chong immediately turned to Qian Li and said: "Mr. Qian, I will send you away now, and then I will send you to a safe place. Master and the old man can't find you, so naturally they can't do anything to you, right?"
Linghu Chong looked happy, as if he was very satisfied with this method.
As he spoke, Linghu Chong looked outside to look at the sky, and said with some thought: "Master, when he goes out, he usually doesn't come back for an hour or two. It's not dark yet. If you wait a little longer, it will be dark."
Come down and I will send Mr. Qian away."
Qian Li expressed gratitude to Linghu Chong: "Qian thanked Young Hero Linghu very much. If I can survive, I will never forget Young Hero's great kindness."
Linghu Chong supported Qian Li and said, "Mr. Qian, please don't say that. You can rest here for a while while I prepare. I will take Mr. Qian away with me later."
While he was talking, Yue Lingshan's voice came from outside: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, are you feeling better?"
Linghu Chong's expression changed, he ducked out of the woodshed, then turned over and entered his room at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately after hearing a squeaking sound, Yue Lingshan walked into the room carrying a bowl of medicinal soup, and happened to see Linghu Chong sitting there.
Seeing Linghu Chong sitting there cross-legged, Yue Lingshan smiled and said, "Elder brother, this is the medicine I made for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Linghu Chong looked at the steaming medicinal soup, stood up and said, "Junior sister, thank you for your hard work."
Yue Lingshan smiled and handed the medicinal soup to Linghu Chong and said, "As long as the senior brother is well, Lingshan will be very happy."
After saying that, Yue Lingshan glanced at Linghu Chong, then glanced in the direction of the woodshed and whispered: "Elder brother, father asked me to keep an eye on you, and you are not allowed to run to see that Qian Li while he is away. Master said Qian Li is nothing.
Good guy, you will definitely be deceived by him if you meet him."
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "Little junior sister, don't worry, senior brother, I am not a fool. If others want to deceive me, how is that possible?"
Yue Lingshan smiled and said: "Anyway, I will keep an eye on you. You will not be allowed to see Qian Li until father comes back."
Linghu Chong drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, then burped, and put the bowl aside. Suddenly, Linghu Chong looked at the door and said with surprise: "Hey, master, aren't you out?
Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Seeing this, Yue Lingshan subconsciously turned around and looked towards the door. The next moment she saw Linghu Chong's hand moving like lightning, pointing at the sleeping acupuncture point on the back of Yue Lingshan's head. Yue Lingshan felt her eyes darken, she instantly lost consciousness and fainted.
Linghu Chong supported the limp Yue Lingshan and looked at the sleeping Yue Lingshan. Linghu Chong carefully placed Yue Lingshan on the bed, and then whispered to Yue Lingshan: "Little junior sister, don't blame the senior brother, the senior brother is the same."
It is absolutely necessary, but after Senior Brother sends Mr. Qian away safely, I will definitely apologize to you."
In the courtyard where Li Huan temporarily settled down, Chen Yao looked at the banner officer in front of him with a worried look and said, "Tell me, why are you so anxious to see me?"
Originally, Chen Yao was busy dealing with things, but his general flag officer hurriedly came to see him, which naturally made Chen Yao feel very bad.
Seeing that Chen Yao was in a bad mood, the chief flag officer said hurriedly: "Sir, two brothers have been missing all night. Ever since I went to hunt down the leader of the thieves last night, there has been no news about them."
Chen Yao couldn't help frowning when he heard this and said, "You mean, no one has come back from last night to now?"
The chief flag officer nodded and said: "Yes, at noon, all the others had returned. Even if they were unlucky and a few people encountered misfortune, at least their bodies were recovered. But Zheng Kui and Cai Meng
But you can’t see people alive, and you can’t see corpses after death.”
Chen Yao took a deep breath and said, "Do you know who the two of them are chasing?"
The flag officer shook his head, then nodded and said, "I just asked the brothers who chased him out together. Some people said that they saw Cai Meng. The person Zheng Kui chased seemed to be the fourth son of the Qian family, Qian Li."
Chen Yao snorted coldly and said: "Qian Li? Isn't he just a scribe? Two Jin Yi guards are chasing him, but there is no news about him. It's obvious that something happened."
The chief flag officer nodded and said: "My subordinates think so too. Most people don't have time to hide when they see our Jinyiwei people, let alone dare to kill our Jinyiwei people. Now Cai Meng and Zheng Kui are not seen alive or dead."
The corpse must have been harmed by someone, and even the corpse was hidden."
A ferocious look flashed in his eyes, Chen Yao glared at the flag officer and said: "Then why don't you send someone to find me? Our Jinyiwei wants to see people in life, and we want to see corpses in death. Anyone who dares to kill my Jinyiwei
, a price must be paid.”
Chen Yaodao said: "You immediately bring a small flag man and help me find him. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will find him."
The commander-in-chief's expression was serious, and he stood solemnly and said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates have roughly identified the area where Cai Meng, Zheng Kui and the others disappeared. I will definitely find them two."
Nodding slightly, Chen Yao said: "Remember to bring a powerful crossbow and a fire blunderbuss. Anyone who dares to kill my Jin Yiwei must not be an ordinary person. You must also be careful, don't even get involved yourself."
Seeing the flag officer hurried away, Chen Yao couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Huang Wenzheng stood nervously in front of Li Huan at this moment, while Li Huan was leaning on the Taishi chair, gently put down the tea cup, and looked up at Huang Wenzheng. Mr. Huang came to look for me, but he had already left.
Is the execution place arranged for tomorrow?
Huang Wenzheng could not help but shed beads of sweat on his forehead. Hearing this, his body trembled and he hurriedly said: "Sir, the execution site has been arranged, but...just..."
Li Huan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Just what?"
Huang Wenzheng took a deep breath and said: "It's just that there are only a few executioners in the city, but the officials and their relatives who will be beheaded tomorrow add up to nearly a thousand people. I'm afraid that even if the executioner is exhausted, he won't be able to kill them all."
Thousands of heads."
Huang Wenzheng continued: "Even if those executioners can persevere, but they have to chop off the heads of thousands of people, and we don't know when they will be chopped off. If it comes at night, wouldn't it be very unlucky!"
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I didn't expect Mr. Huang to be so particular about this. Is there anything unlucky about beheading someone at night?"
Huang Wenzheng hurriedly said: "Isn't this just for peace of mind? After all, it has always been noon, when the Yang Qi between heaven and earth is strong, and prisoners on death row are rarely beheaded at night."
Li Huan said lightly: "What do you mean, Mr. Huang?"
Huang Wenzheng said: "The lower official thinks that since there are not enough executioners, it is better to temporarily transfer some soldiers from the troops under the command of Dong Huandong to temporarily serve as executioners at noon tomorrow. In this way, the urgent need of insufficient executioners can be solved. There are
The presence of those guards can also prevent some accidents."
Li Huan couldn't help but give Huang Wenzheng a high look. How could he not understand what the accident that Huang Wenzheng deliberately mentioned in his words was referring to. This was clearly a secret reminder to him that he must be on guard against someone trying to rob the execution site.
One hand gently tapped on the table, while Huang Wenzheng listened to the sound of Li Huan tapping on the table, his heart skipping a beat.
Suddenly, Li Huan said: "Okay, in that case, let's follow Lord Huang's plan. You immediately send someone to inform Lord Dong Huan and ask him to allocate a hundred strong soldiers to serve as executioners temporarily."
Huang Wenzheng nodded immediately and said: "I'll take care of it now."
After watching Huang Wenzheng leave, Li Huan saw Chen Yao coming over and said, "What happened just now?"
You must know that Li Huan just saw Chen Yao whispering in the distance with the same uniformed guard commander. Although Li Huan didn't pay much attention, he could see that something was wrong with Chen Yao's expression.
Chen Yao took a deep breath, saluted Li Huan and said, "Sir, there is no news about our two brothers from Jinyiwei since they went out last night. They are still alive and dead, but their bodies are not found."
A sharp look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "So there is a high probability that there was an accident. Send someone to investigate carefully and be sure to find the person."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "My lord, my subordinates have already sent people to look for him."
Chen Yaodao said: "Sir, the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city that you asked your subordinates to send to invite have almost arrived by now and are waiting for you in the front hall."
Li Huan stood up, looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It has only been a while, but they have almost arrived, one by one, quite quickly."
Chen Yao quickly followed behind Li Huan and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. These people have been sitting on pins and needles at home these past two days, for fear of being implicated. Since Your Excellency has summoned them, how could they dare to neglect at all? They rushed there as soon as possible.
Come over here."
Li Huan smiled. It was normal for those people to come quickly. If anyone dared to take advantage of the situation and delay the time, then there was something really wrong with his head.
"Let's go, follow me to meet these people. You must know that at least most of the wealth in Fuzhou Prefecture is concentrated in the hands of these people."
Chen Yao followed Li Huan and said in a low voice: "My lord, what you said is true. Not to mention, these people are really rich. My subordinates couldn't believe it when they ransacked their homes before. Each family's wealth was no less than hundreds of thousands."
There are so many, and this is just for the families of officials, and these wealthy businessmen and gentry who are famous for their wealth, how much wealth they have, I really don't dare to think about it."
Li Huan smiled and said: "If you really want to talk about it, the wealth of these rich businessmen and gentry may not be as rich as Gu Huang and the others, but if you really want to compare it with ready-made gold and silver, it really belongs to these rich businessmen and gentry."
Already."
Chen Yao raised his eyebrows and secretly guessed, could it be that his master is eyeing the gold and silver in the hands of these people?
secluded courtyard
Linghu Chong walked out of the room, glanced at Yue Lingshan who was placed on the bed, and then closed the door. He was holding a small baggage in his hand, which included the scattered silver he had collected, some dry food, and a change of clothes.
In the woodshed, Qian Li, who had been waiting for Linghu Chong to arrive, was immediately shaken when he heard the movement and looked up towards the door.
Then he saw Linghu Chong walking in carrying a package.
When he saw Linghu Chong, Qian Li hurriedly said: "Young Master Linghu, are we leaving now?"
Linghu Chong nodded and said, "Yes, it's getting dark now, so I'll take advantage of the darkness to see you off."
Linghu Chong handed the package to Qian Li and said, "Mr. Qian, here are some things I prepared. You should be able to use them after you leave."
Qian Li bowed to Linghu Chong and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Qian, for your great kindness, Young Master Linghu. I will never forget it!"
Linghu Chong waved his hand towards Qian Li and said, "You're welcome, I can't watch you being killed by the master."
They saw Linghu Chong squatting in front of Qian Li and saying: "Mr. Qian, you were injured by the master today and have difficulty moving. Let me carry you first."
Qian Li hurriedly said, "This... How can this be done? Let me walk with the young hero."
Linghu Chong said seriously: "Mr. Qian, please don't refuse. If you don't leave, once the master comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
Hearing what Linghu Chong said, Qian Li hurriedly leaned on Linghu Chong and said, "This will help young hero Linghu."
Carrying the money gift on his back, Linghu Chong straightened up and walked out of the courtyard after a few ups and downs. Then he identified the direction and headed straight for the city gate.
When Qian Li saw this, he immediately realized where Linghu Chong was taking him. When he thought that Linghu Chong was sending him out of the city, Qian Li couldn't help but feel surprised.
Originally, he thought that with the four gates closed, Linghu Chong would temporarily place him in a safe place, but he did not expect that Linghu Chong actually wanted to send him out of the city.
You must know that leaving the city is not that simple. The city gate is heavily guarded and blocked, and even the city walls are patrolled by soldiers. It can be said that it is very difficult for ordinary people not to leave the city, even if they want to get on the city wall without being discovered.
.
"Young Master Linghu, are you going to send Qian out of the city? I'm afraid it's too dangerous. Once discovered, Qian's death will be nothing, but if this implicates Young Master Linghu,
How can Qian feel at ease?"
Linghu Chong smiled and said: "It would be dangerous if Mr. Qian stayed in the city. As for leaving the city, although there is a possibility that he will be discovered, at worst, I will always find a way to send Mr. Qian out of the city. After all, only
Once you leave the city, Mr. Qian, you will be truly out of danger."
Qian Li looked inexplicably moved and said: "Young Master Linghu..."
Just as he was about to speak, Linghu Chong suddenly stopped and hid in the shadow of the corner. Then he heard the solemn expressions of several guards in the alley in front of him saying: "Hurry up, Cai Meng, Zheng Kui and the others."
The person must have disappeared in this area. I searched them carefully. They searched for me one by one. They were not allowed to miss one place. The adults said that even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find the person. Let us
In life, Jin Yiwei wants to see people, and in death, he wants to see corpses..."
Qian Li couldn't help but feel anxious as he listened to the words of the Jin Yiwei walking by. Linghu Chong was not a fool. Watching the Jin Yiwei leave, Linghu Chong couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Qian, you said they don't
They may be looking for the two imperial guards who are chasing you."
Qian Li pondered for a moment and said: "If nothing else happens, we should be looking for those two people, but those two people have been killed by Young Master Linghu and hidden. I think they can't find them."
Linghu Chong was now looking at the direction in which the Jin Yiwei were searching, which was exactly the direction of the small courtyard where he, Yue Lingshan and Yue Bugroup stayed.
When he thought that these Jinyi guards were very likely to find that courtyard, Linghu Chong couldn't help but become a little worried, knowing that Yue Lingshan was still there at this moment, especially since he had tapped the sleeping acupuncture point.
"No, little junior sister, he..."
After a pause, Linghu Chong wanted to go back. At this moment, Qian Li saw Linghu Chong's hesitation and quickly understood what Linghu Chong was worried about.
Obviously Linghu Chong was worried about Yue Lingshan who was left in the courtyard. When Qian Li thought that if Linghu Chong went back this time, they would most likely run into those Jinyi guards, Qian Li couldn't help but feel anxious, but his expression was filled with worry.
He said with concern: "Young Master Linghu, these Jin Yiwei are just looking for someone. Besides, this place is so far away from our residence. By the time those people find it, I'm afraid the young hero will have already returned."
Linghu Chong hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "At most, I can send Mr. off as soon as possible, and then rush back as soon as possible. Junior sister will be fine for sure."
As he said this, Linghu Chong carried Qian Li on his back and headed straight for the city wall. When Qian Li saw this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Linghu Chong would turn around and go back.
Linghu Chong obviously sped up and walked through the night with Qian Li on his back. He was very fast and arrived near the city wall in a short time.
The city wall is several feet high. Most people really have no way to deal with this high city wall. Climbing up is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But this was nothing to Linghu Chong. He carefully placed Qian Li on the edge of the city wall, and then said to Qian Li: "Mr. Qian, I will go up first, and then I will use the rope to pull you up."
Linghu Chong could climb such a high city wall alone, but it would be really difficult for him to carry someone on his back. The key was to carry one person with him to perform Qing Gong. If there was any accident or any commotion, it would be alarming.
The soldiers on night watch were arrested.
Qian Li's eyes flashed with joy and he nodded towards Linghu Chong.
They saw Linghu Chong straighten up, tap his toes lightly on the city wall, and use the strength to rise up again. In just a few ups and downs, Linghu Chong was already on the city wall.
Hiding on the battlements, Linghu Chong watched the soldiers patrolling the city not far away walking up and down the city wall, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, Linghu Chong still lowered the rope that he had prepared in advance. Qian Li, who was under the city wall, looked at the hanging rope and was overjoyed, so he quickly grabbed the rope.
Linghu Chong felt the force coming from the rope and pulled Qian Li up bit by bit.
At this moment, a group of soldiers were lining up under the city wall. Although they all looked listless, having these people patrolling back and forth could effectively prevent anyone from escaping over the wall at night.
Qian Li naturally felt anxious when he heard the noise, and subconsciously wanted to climb up. As a result, the package fell off with this movement.
There was a splat sound, and the package fell to the ground. Although the movement was not big, it couldn't stand in the dead of night, and the slightest movement seemed so obvious.
The group of soldiers was obviously alarmed. They were all shocked and rushed over. At the same time, they saw a black figure on the city wall moving upward at an extremely fast speed.
"If a thief comes out of the city, please sound the alarm!"
The gong sounded suddenly, and in an instant, all the soldiers near the city wall, whether they were asleep or on patrol, were alerted.
Even in the blink of an eye, piles of bonfires were raised inside and outside the city wall, illuminating only the inside and outside of the city wall. Through the firelight, one could clearly see the confused Linghu Chong on the city wall and the desperate look on his face.
Money gift.
At this time, Qian Li had been pulled up to the city wall by Linghu Chong. If everything went well, Linghu Chong would have sent him out of the city with a rope. By then, he would have escaped and his life would have been saved.
But now when he looked at the soldiers and even the figures of several Jinyi guards who were flying towards him with weapons in hand, Qian Li couldn't help but yelled at Linghu Chong: "Linghu Chong, you are still doing this in a daze.
What, take me away quickly."
After reacting, Linghu Chong nodded subconsciously, grabbed the money gift and jumped off the city wall.
If Linghu Chong had jumped down on his own, he would not have been injured by relying on the skill of lightening his body. However, because he brought a money gift, Linghu Chong was afraid of hurting the money gift, so he used himself to forcefully buffer it, and he heard a muffled sound.
Huh, Linghu Chong felt a sharp pain in his legs, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground with Qian Li.
Because Linghu Chong took the impact for Qian Li, Qian Li just fell to the ground.
"Thieves, don't run away, hurry, hurry, catch these two people, there will be heavy rewards!"
Several Jin Yiwei shouted loudly and at the same time, they quickly descended along the city wall along the rope thrown down, and the soldiers patrolling outside the city also came over with swords, guns, muskets, and bows and crossbows.
Seeing this situation, Qian Li glanced at Linghu Chong first. When he saw Linghu Chong holding a broken leg, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes and said: "Young Master Linghu, I won't cause any trouble for you!
You help me hold these people back first."
As he spoke, Qian Li felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, and he burst out and ran towards the distance at a speed no slower than an ordinary person.
Linghu Chong opened his mouth when he saw Qian Li abandoning him and running away, with a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to say something, but at this moment, a group of soldiers were approaching.
Linghu Chong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He endured the severe pain and turned around to leave.
As a result, several soldiers bumped into Linghu Chong head-on. The soldiers looked overjoyed and looked at Linghu Chong as if they had seen a silver reward.
"Hahaha, let's see where you run away!"
Several soldiers rushed towards Linghu with guns in hand.
Linghu Chong swayed and snatched a sharp waist knife from a soldier. In the blink of an eye, several soldiers were killed by Linghu Chong.
Jin Yiwei, who was flying from a distance, saw this and shouted angrily: "If you dare to rebel against a thief, kill him!"
Following the angry shout of the Jin Yiwei, all the soldiers who saw their companions being killed showed murderous intent on their faces, and aimed their bows, arrows, and muskets at Linghu Chong.
Boom, boom, boom
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
Arrows and lead bullets flew together, directly covering Linghu Chong's figure. Linghu Chong's expression changed drastically when he saw this situation, and he let out a long roar. He didn't even care about his broken legs at the critical moment, and he suddenly stood up from the ground, his figure alive. It was raised more than ten feet high, and it avoided the wave of arrows and volleys of fire cannons.
It was just the severe pain from the broken leg that made Linghu Chong rise more than ten feet high from the ground and fall down at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the second wave of arrows and fire blunderbuss struck again.
This time, Linghu Chong looked at the densely packed arrows and lead bullets with a horrified look in his eyes. He waved his sword desperately, but unfortunately he could block the arrows but could not stop the lead bullets fired from the gun.
In an instant, streams of blood shot out from Linghu Chong's body. Under the light of the fire, he looked extremely charming. The sharp pain caused Linghu Chong to drop the sword in his hand to the ground, and arrows immediately pierced Linghu Chong's body.
With a pop, Linghu Chong's body fell straight to the ground, and blood flowed out from the dense bullet holes on Linghu Chong's body.
Linghu Chong, who was holding a breath of air, kept twitching all over his body and subconsciously looked in the direction where Qian Li was escaping.
At this time, Qian Li had been caught up by several soldiers and dragged back like a dog to death.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I am Qian Li. I am the one who killed Jin Yiwei. I can testify. I also know where his accomplices are hiding..."
Although Linghu Chong's consciousness gradually became blurry, he clearly heard Qian Li's shouts. After listening to Qian Li's words, Linghu Chong's eyes widened immediately, and his body covered with arrows suddenly sat up. , using his last breath, he stared at Qian Li who was dragged close, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he let out that breath and died on the spot, without any breath left.
Qian Li looked at Linghu Chong who was pricked like a hedgehog, especially when Linghu Chong stared at him with his unbending eyes. Qian Li was startled and shouted at the Jinyi guards who came over: "Spare your life!" , he also has accomplices, a master, a junior sister..."
