Li Hu has been stealing and doing business in the Lin family for more than ten years. Naturally, he knows everything about business. He immediately said to Lin Fengjin:
"What the young master said is absolutely right, because all the merchants coming and going are willing to come to Qu Town to rest, so within a radius of hundreds of miles, only here is the most prosperous, while the other market towns are lifeless and increasingly declining. I even heard that the Feng family in Qu Town is
On weekdays, he acts even more domineeringly. It is said that when Qu Town was first established, he even sent people pretending to be thieves to loot other towns! This is how he became the leader he is today."
Lin Fengjin nodded, thoughtfully, but stopped talking.
Although the people in the caravan were a little frightened at night, they all became a little excited after hearing that they would rest in Qu Town after walking only forty miles. So they arrived outside Qu Town just after noon. There were already people there.
We booked meals at the inn at the front station. After eating, many people in the caravan dispersed in a hurry. Naturally, their targets were either gambling houses or brothels.
At this time, Sanlang of the Wang family also came to take the lead and invited the accompanying gang of dandies to have a drink and have fun. Lin Fengjin also happily agreed. After the group of people came out, they met the servants sent by the Feng family to patrol the town, each in a team of five.
Not all of the patrolling servants were tall men with thick shoulders and round waists, but all of them had serious faces, very calm, and their actions were very disciplined. When Lin Fengjin saw them, he knew that the Feng family was indeed someone who knew how to fight.
The person is presiding over the corresponding matters.
After entering the local prostitute village, Lin Fengjin felt a little surprised. He originally thought that a town could have such great enjoyment, but after a group of people entered the door and only looked at the furnishings, they felt that the decorations were also quite neat.
Gorgeous.
After choosing a private room and sitting down, even though the girls were still dressing up and not coming, just the few snacks and appetizing snacks that they had spotted made them think a lot. To put it bluntly,
Even if it is the best brothel in an important town like Hecang, it may not be as good as a random one in this town!
After realizing this, Lin Fengjin's eyes flashed, and he called for a companion, and said a few words to him. The companion immediately followed the order and passed on the words. Wang Sanlang had done something with Lin Fengjin before.
In this name, he asked him to make a deal, and Lin Fengjin laughed and happily agreed.
Naturally, the group of people had a great time drinking and having sex with prostitutes. There were even two people who liked to play sannyasi and seemed to have found their true love. They summoned the madam to redeem their younger brother... But at this moment
, hurriedly rushed someone over from outside.
This person was a confidant of Sanlang Wang, but he looked panicked, and the back of his gown was even wet. He gasped and whispered a few words to Sanlang Wang, but Sanlang Wang was a man who didn't seem to have much authority. He immediately
Pushing away the cute pink head with a pouting mouth in her arms, she stood up and said in a voiceless voice:
"What! Three more people died!?"
***
The death conditions of these three people were still very miserable and extremely strange. They were the same as those who died mysteriously before. They killed each other.
They died at the scene of guarding the cart, which was also in the open space. One person was strangled to death, but this person's fingers were deeply inserted into the other person's right eye socket, and the other person's throat was
He was bitten wildly by his companion! Looking at the scene, he actually regarded his companion as the enemy of life and death, like a monster!
Lin Fengjin was very smart, but even if it was the second time he saw the other party using the same method to kill people, even if he used the power of the lungs again, he still had no clue. This reduced the morale of the entire caravan.
Immediately frustrated.
These reckless men with bloody swords are particular about not blinking when their arms are broken, and their heads are scarred as big as a bowl, but they are also doubly superstitious. Don’t you think that the young and Dangerous boys thousands of years later will also pay homage to the Second Master Guan? What happened to this guy?
This mysterious thing cannot be explained by common sense, and various rumors immediately started to spread. If this continues, most of the people will be gone in three or two days.
But at this time, although Lin Fengjin looked panicked in front of outsiders, he looked confident behind his back to his own people. Before going to bed, he even called Lin De and had a drink with peanuts and fried shrimps.
Then blow out the lamp and rest.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then there was a lot of noise and chaos, with a lot of shouting saying "the water is leaking".
Lin Fengjin was sleeping with his clothes on at this time. He seemed to be prepared. He saw that the window paper on the east window was reflected red, and it seemed that the fire was extremely fierce. However, Lin Fengjin did not start the fire at this time.
After passing the place, he took Li Hu and Lin De, who had been waiting outside for a long time, and strode straight to the monastery of the hotel next door - where Wang Sanlang and Chen Dabiao lived -
——Naturally, there were about a dozen loyal subordinates surrounding them, surrounding them in the center.
As soon as the group of people reached a place more than ten feet away from the monastery, Lin De suddenly said coldly:
"Be careful, there seems to be something in the sky!"
Lin Fengjin listened carefully, and immediately heard a "puffing" sound in the air amidst the noise, as if the sails on the ship were full of wind and were being blown. His mind was quick, and he immediately thought of himself
Those people who couldn't figure out the cause of death had something in common, that is, they all died in the open space! But no one in the room was okay, and they immediately lowered their voices and said urgently:
"Go inside the house immediately and get to a sheltered area!"
A group of people immediately rushed to the side, and some even broke the window and escaped in, causing the residents inside to scream and think they had encountered a robber. Only Linde was very calm and listened attentively.
After a long while, he suddenly bent his bow and drew an arrow!
Then there was a loud "bang" sound from the bowstring, and then a streak of fire streaked through the sky, with its trajectory still lingering in people's sight. However, large groups of flames in the mid-air exploded like fireworks, blooming with a bang.
A big fireball formed in mid-air, and a large number of residual fires fell down one after another.
This is one of the three talisman arrows that Lin Fengjin and the others obtained from the Central Tang Dynasty before, the powerful Li Rocket!
After being shot by Linde's arrow, it accurately hit the target and caused it to burn. It could be clearly seen through the firelight. Among the large fireballs that were more than ten feet in the air, it was surprisingly huge.
The bat-like thing, although its body was blazing with flames, kept fluttering in the air, and You Zi refused to fall. It was obvious that the vitality of the burned thing was also very tenacious.
As for the talisman arrows like Li Rocket, although the magic attached to them is useless to officials, the effect is very little if they are rushed by the evil spirit of blood in the battle formation. However, they are also quietly circulating on the market. As long as the bid is high enough, they can be bought.
Therefore, after Linde uses it here, he is not afraid of being implicated in things outside Hecang City by people from the Middle Tang Dynasty.
As the flames burned stubbornly, it was clear that the thing in the air had no intention of escaping. It was fluttering with all its strength, so it descended very slowly and flew out crookedly.
The flames at this time were mainly concentrated on its "wings" on both sides. The flames on its body surface and trunk had been extinguished. In particular, there were several palm-sized red carbonized spots shining on the body surface, which showed that it was also made of wood.
.You can see with the help of the firelight that the body of this thing is somewhat fat and stubby like a bat, and the surface also has clear textures that are composed of multiple parts.
Obviously, this is also a machine beast, and it is the kind that can fly in the air. Unfortunately, wings are a huge weakness of any bird. Because of its heavy body, the machine beast has to fly as light as possible.
Therefore, the wings must be made light, thin, strong and large in area!
Therefore, under such harsh conditions, there are naturally only a handful of materials that can be used to make the wings of flying machine beasts. However, these few materials all have one thing in common, that is, they are very flammable. A rocket shot away.
Go up and you'll hit the mark!
Although Lin Fengjin was unable to find any clues from those who died of madness, or even from nearby places. However, from a certain perspective, not being able to find clues is actually a clue!
If we use the elimination method, we can’t find any clues about the enemy on the ground, nor can we find any clues about the enemy underground, and the scene is not near a river or lake. Then the only possibility is that the enemy comes from the air! So regarding the possibility that the enemy may appear in the air.
, Lin Fengjin had been prepared a long time ago, and of course he also warned his subordinates.
No one bothered to chase the flying monster in the sky, and continued walking into the monastery. At this moment, a series of screams and roars came from the monastery, followed by a "crash".
There was a loud noise, and a large group of black shadows aimed at Lin Fengjin and crashed into him!
Li Hu took half a step forward very calmly and was already in front of Lin Fengjin. With a light pry of his thumb, the sharp blade made a cold and chilling friction sound against the scabbard, and he cut into the knife.
Human eardrum.
Immediately after the light flashed, Li Hu had already stood up in an unconventional manner and slashed at the approaching black figure with his sword. However, when he was halfway through the slash, he realized something was wrong. He turned his wrist slightly and used his sword.
The blade struck the black shadow's body, and the long knife made a half-circle to the back, gently and deftly removing the black shadow's attack, and laying it flat on the ground.
Through the flickering firelight, one can see that the black figure is a capable guard beside Wang Sanlang. He is still holding a dagger in his hand, and his face still maintains a look of fear and anger.
The guard's fatal wound was on his chest. It was hard to describe what kind of weapon it was caused by. One blow shattered his sternum, and even his ribs were broken. It also created a blood hole as big as a bowl, and blood almost flowed out.
It was sprayed, and the internal organs inside were all messed up, and it almost penetrated the internal organs!
