Two hundred and fortieth IX The Great Melee Part Three
Just when Wenbin finished speaking, there was a sudden whoosh and the sound of a crossbow, and a sharp arrow suddenly shot through Shi Wenbin's heart. The crossbow arrow entered from the back of the heart, and the arrowhead emerged from the front of the chest. Wen Bin's mouth was still half open, and he groaned, then leaned forward and fell down, frightening the man standing opposite him so that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly took two steps back, only to see a man in black. Youdao jumped out from behind the statue of Taishang Laojun. Youdao was frightened when he saw it. He screamed in fear and walked out. Unexpectedly, the man in black came up and down in front of the man. From that tightly tied A sharp and dazzling hidden sword popped out of his sleeve and pressed against his throat coldly.
Na Youdaochang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to move. He looked at Shi Qian in panic. At this time, Shi Qian was wearing black clothes and a mask with a ghost face and fangs. Only a pair of black eyes were exposed. , and the frightening gazes shining in these two pairs of eyes as dark as night made You Daochang feel a little chill all over. You Daochang finally managed to control his clumsy mouth and uttered two words stiffly: "Spare your life, spare your life..."
You Yiyi's long scream just now had already alerted the two guards guarding the outside. Before Shi Qian could say anything, the two guards immediately heard something was wrong and knocked on the door and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
Wenbin was already dead at that time, and there was no sound as to what to do. Shi Qian tightened the hidden sword in his hand and pressed it against the neck of Yu Daochang. He raised his chin towards the door, gesturing for You Daochang to speak. Under Shi Qian's threat, Chang Zai hesitated for a moment and then raised his voice and said: "No...it's okay,"
Although he said this, the tremor in Daochang You's voice was clearly exposed. Shi Qian gritted his teeth and took out the crossbow arrows from his lower back. Sure enough, he only heard a bang on the door, and the two men A police officer who was on guard outside broke open the door and rushed in.
Shi Qian raised his hand and fired a crossbow, hitting his throat and shooting the officer at the far end to the ground immediately. At the same time, Shi Qian's feet moved, and he reached the officer first in a flash. In front of him, before the officer could call for help in surprise, Shi Qian grabbed the officer's face, and the hidden sword on his sleeve popped out, and in a flash, he cut the officer's throat without any hindrance. The stabbing penetrated, and at this time, Na Youdaochang was shocked by the blood and cruelty in front of him, and was so shocked that he couldn't move for a moment. Just as he regained some strength for a moment, and just opened his mouth, he launched a tornado kick , before the guard outside noticed, he closed the door first, then rushed over and pinched Na You's long cheek hard.
Shi Qian shouted in a low voice: "If you want to survive, don't shout."
Na You Daochang looked at the ghost-faced fangs and was so frightened that he didn't dare to resist. His whole body couldn't help but feel weak, and even the dust in his hands was shaken aside.
Shi Qian said: "If you want to survive, tell me the secret passage. Otherwise, I will let you send them two away."
"No... no... want... no," Na Youdaochang turned pale with fright, and his breath was already confused. He seemed to have been cast a spell, and he kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Shi Qian touched the Hidden Sword to Nao Dao Chang's neck. The cold and sharp blade immediately gave You Dao Yi a goose bump all over his body. He was so frightened that Dao Chang became even more panicked and couldn't help but make some noises. : "No... Pindao didn't mean that, I said, said,"
"Keep it low, if I provoke another one, I will send you away together," Shi Qian shouted more and more fiercely.
Chief Nayou nodded and quickly lowered his voice and said, "The secret passage is in Pindao's room, just under the bed. Just lift the floor tiles."
Shi Qian nodded and said, "You can't tell anyone else about this secret passage except me."
Upon hearing this, Chief You Dao nodded quickly and said: "I won't sue, I will never sue anyone. I will keep it a secret, keep it secret."
"Which room is yours?" Shi Qian suddenly thought of it and asked immediately.
You Daochang pointed to a small door on the side of Sanqing Palace and said, "You can enter from here."
Shi Qian said: "Go away,"
Upon hearing this, Chief Nayou was overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the back. "Whoosh,,," a crossbow arrow rang out and hit the back of the heart. The Taoist priest fell to the ground with a plop and died.
Shi Qian put away the crossbow gun and without looking back, he came to the inner room on the side. Shi Qian pushed open the ajar wooden door, lifted the curtain and entered the room, using the flint he brought with him. By lighting up the kerosene lamp, you can see everything in the room clearly. There is a square table in the middle of the room. Opposite the square table is an altar. There are incense burners and other objects on the table, and hangings on it. There was a portrait of Tieguai Li, and on the right hand side of the room was a screen with a splash-ink landscape painted on it. Shi Qian walked around the screen and there was a bed behind it. Shi Qian hurried up and put it down. The bed turned over, and the quilt on the bed fell to the floor, and a piece of peony with red background and gold thread was exposed. Shi Qian was extremely curious, so he stepped forward and took it out from the quilt, and oh, it turned out to be a piece of peony. Woman's red bellyband.
"You are such an old Taoist, no wonder you don't have any character. It turns out that you seek Taoism through women." Shi Qian sneered in his heart and threw away the bellyband, then put the oil lamp on the overturned bed and touched the bed. The floor tiles exposed at the bottom came out, Shi Qian knocked around, and sure enough, they were empty. Shi Qian popped out the hidden sword that he had just withdrawn, inserted it into the cracks in the ground, and carefully pried the floor tiles one by one. He got up, and finally made a hole as big as a square, smoothed away the loose soil on top, and exposed a layer of wooden boards below. This tunnel was probably opened only a few years ago, and the wooden boards were all intact, with no signs of corrosion or damage.
Shi Qian pried up the wooden board and tried to make the hole in his body as far away as possible. He then carefully stretched out his arms to pull the wooden board open. Seeing that there was no hidden weapon inside, he cautiously approached and turned on the light. Look, oh, good guy, it is indeed a secret passage. This secret passage is about one foot deep. There is a ladder on the side wall for people to go up and down. Shi Qian carefully went down to the secret passage and held a lamp to go there. , I saw that this secret road sloped down, getting deeper and deeper, and I didn't know where it ended. It was close to the edge of the city, and I guessed it must lead to the outside of the city. I just heard Wenbin say at that time that there were carriages and horses in the peach blossom forest outside the city. , presumably, that’s where it is.
When Shi Qian thought of this, he suddenly heard the noise of fighting outside. Shi Qian thought that it must be Kui Er who was nervous, fearing that something might happen to his apprentice, so he quickly came out of the cave and casually removed the man from the ground. With the red peony bellyband in hand, he walked through the door of the separation room and returned to the Sanqing Palace. He first grabbed Shi Wenbin who was lying in a pool of blood, cut off his head with a click, and used the bellyband to A package, just the right size. Shi Qian saw it and wanted to laugh more and more. He deliberately stepped over the body of You Daochang. He wondered if this old man with a strong nose would be angry at this if he knew about it in the underworld. smoke.
Shi Qian smiled and tied the head behind his waist, then secretly peeked out from the side of Sanqing Palace. He saw dozens of officers and soldiers scattered outside, each holding a knife in his hand and raising his head and looking around. He looked around nervously, but officers and soldiers still fell down from time to time. Shi Qian knew that this must be because Kui Er failed, so he had no choice but to play hide and seek with them and shoot secret arrows. Shi Qian watched as people kept coming in from outside, knowing that this was the case. Unable to save those brothers, he immediately returned to the separation room and went out through the back door. He happened to bump into a Taoist priest passing by holding a lantern. When he saw Shi Qian, he screamed in surprise. Shi Qian was quick and killed the Taoist priest in one move. On the ground, Shi Qian looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he quickly climbed up to the top of the wall and walked along the waist of the wall. With such quick steps, he reached the opposite side of the detention cell in no time. Opposite that side, there is also a wing, with a horizontal plaque hanging on it, which is still the word "Liao Shi Zhai" mentioned by Shi Wenbin. This was originally the place where Master You played chess and drank tea. Since Wenbin moved in, it has become A temporary government office.
Shi Qian came down from the wall and saw the darkness on the path behind the house, so he boldly walked past. Unexpectedly, he saw two corpses halfway through. Shi Qian's sharp eyes could barely identify them from the clothes. The people in the government immediately thought that it must be Kui Er's work. Sure enough, when Shi Qian saw that the window lattice at the back of the house was open, he also jumped in through the window. Sure enough, Kui Er was here, and the two of them would be there. At the first place, there was no need to worry. It turned out that after Kui Er and Shi Qian split up, they went straight to the prison wing. Unexpectedly, there were officers and soldiers in front and back of the room. They quietly killed a few and had no time to dispose of the bodies. Many officers and soldiers were alarmed. Kui Er used the strategy of making noises to the east and attacking in the west to lure the officers and soldiers away. However, he did not expect to attract more and more officers and soldiers. Seeing that there were more and more people, it became harder to take action. Kui Er was assassinating a few people as a sign. After being intimidated, they went around to the opposite side, hoping to set fire everywhere to completely disrupt the officers and soldiers, but this idea happened to be exactly the same as that of Shi Qian.
The two of them immediately discussed a plan and took action separately.
At this time, there were more than fifty officers and soldiers who poured into the backyard. They were all looking around at the eaves on all sides, holding simple knives tightly in their hands. Some even brought bows and arrows, and they were shooting and nocking arrows. No thieves were seen, and many people had been killed quietly, but now there was no movement, which made everyone feel more strange and frightened. At this time, Zhao De, who was spying on the military situation, happened to come back with five or six soldiers. , with gray eyebrows and an earthy face, had just fled back from the city. It turned out that Li Ying led the three heroes of the Zhu family and Hu Sanniang to rush in from the south gate and killed the officers and soldiers under the command of the general by surprise. After successive defeats, the general who was wielding the gun was finally stabbed to death by Zhu Biao. At this point, the Green Forest Army's counterattack began, and the officers and soldiers fled in despair. Over there, Sun Li and his soldiers and horses also came under Li Ying's support. Driving straight in, the two groups of soldiers and horses quickly harvested the lives of the remaining officers and soldiers in the city. Even the Yamen had been occupied by Zhu Long. It was precisely for this reason that Zhao De rushed into the Taoist temple in panic when he saw that the officers and soldiers were gone. I wanted to report this extremely important battle, but I didn't want to go into the backyard. Instead, I encountered such a chaotic scene. For a moment, my whole heart sank to the ground, as if it had fallen into endless darkness. .
