Yang Jian calculated everything but missed one thing. Li Ye went back to Chang'an again and learned about their existence from Wang Jian.
Li Ye and Hei Spear were very cautious along the way. Why did the man lead the horse to the backyard, and Hei Spear wanted to follow him to see if there were other war horses.
Especially when it came to Huining County, a place where all kinds of people gathered, Li Ye was even more vigilant. If the Yang family wanted to deal with him, Huining County would definitely be the first choice.
At night, the inn was completely quiet. Li Ye went downstairs to find the innkeeper and asked, "Is anyone here to inquire about us today?"
The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter, and his wife next to him was holding a little baby and rocking it gently.
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Someone is asking about it! When it was getting dark, someone came to ask when you were leaving. I told him that you were leaving early the day after tomorrow, and he left."
"Where's the accent?"
"It must be a Guanzhong accent, but it's not like Chang'an Mandarin like Gongzi. It's slightly different."
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Li Ye thought for a moment and then asked with a smile: "There are only a dozen or so inns in the county. We are all competing with each other, so we should all know each other's situation!"
"I probably know something. What do you want to ask, sir?"
"The man with the Guanzhong accent who asked me about them should actually be fifty or sixty people. They have been here for at least ten days. It is certainly not a secret that such a large group of people are active in the county. Does the shopkeeper know where they live?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "How could we, the innkeepers, not know that they live in Changshun Inn!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for letting me know!"
Li Ye took out a small ingot of silver, pointed at the child and said with a smile: "Buy some clothes for the little guy!"
"Ah! Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Li Ye quickly went upstairs, entered the room and said to Black Spear: "Those guys are in the county, and they are probably going to attack us tonight."
Black Spear snorted heavily, "Sir, if they don't want to live, just let them live!"
Li Ye nodded, "Now that I know about it, it's not up to them how to start the war!"
Li Ye thought of the young baby and said calmly: "Let's go to the outside to be more open!"
At two o'clock, dozens of warriors came to the Ping'an Inn from all directions. They stood close to the earthen walls on both sides of the courtyard gate, each holding a horizontal sword and a crossbow arrow, and three warriors held a large net.
At this time, Xiao Feilong, who was responsible for monitoring Li Ye, came over and reported in a low voice, "He is in the eastmost room on the second floor and has already fallen asleep."
"Where are his companions?" Yang Jian asked.
"His companion lives next door and is already asleep!"
Yang Jian turned around and said to everyone: "Concentrate our efforts on Li Ye first, and ignore his companions for the time being!"
The time was almost up, Yang Jian waved his hand and led a dozen of his men to the inn.
At this moment, the sound of bowstrings suddenly came from the silent street. Before the warrior leaning against the wall could react, five arrows shot out like lightning, "Ah! Ah!"
There was a scream among the warriors. They were all warriors holding crossbows. All of them were shot in the head by an arrow and were nailed to the wall alive. Then several more arrows were shot, extremely powerful. Three other warriors holding big nets were shot.
Unable to dodge, he was shot in the head by an arrow and fell to the ground screaming.
Dozens of other warriors were so frightened that they lay motionless on the ground.
Li Ye rode on the street and laughed, "Aren't you going to kill me? Just let the horse come over!"
Before Yang Jian entered the inn, he heard screams outside. He quickly rushed out with more than a dozen of his men. As soon as he showed his head, a wolf-fang arrow was shot at him. Yang Jian reacted quickly and stepped back.
He raised his head and saw the arrow grazing his face. The men behind him screamed and fell down after being hit by the arrow.
Yang Jian was furious, drew his horizontal sword and shouted: "He is alone, let's all come together. The prime minister has an order, and whoever wins his head will be rewarded with thousands of dollars!"
Yang Jian took the lead and rushed forward. Encouraged by the heavy reward, the warriors got excited and got up one after another, shouting and rushing towards Li Ye. Everyone's mind was filled with piles of copper coins.
At this time, arrows were shot down one after another from the roof of the inn, and soldiers continued to fall down after being hit by arrows while running. Almost all of those who fell down were warriors holding crossbows.
Yang Jian suddenly realized that the opponent had already made arrangements, and he was probably going to suffer a big loss tonight. His pace suddenly slowed down. He was originally the first, but soon fell into the middle.
Li Ye sneered, put away his bow and arrows, and took off the armor-piercing spear. This was the first time that the armor-piercing spear was used in actual combat.
Li Ye shouted loudly, and urged his horse to gallop up with a long spear in hand. He rushed in front of the warrior in an instant, and a cold light flashed across his sword, "Puff! Puff! Puff!" Three human heads flew up, and the headless corpse still ran two steps, and one of the heads flew up.
He fell down and blood spurted out from his neck.
Li Ye raised his horse, and the horse flew over the soldiers' heads. Li Ye swung his right arm with his long spear, and the cold light whirled, and the two warriors were cut in half.
He rushed into the dense crowd and started killing, slashing left and stabbing right. Wherever he passed, there were broken arms and severed heads, blood splattered in the sky, and the whole street was filled with pungent blood.
Black Spear stood on the roof and stared dumbfounded. He was promoted to general from the army and had only suppressed small bandits a few times, but he had never seen such bloody killings. No wonder the young master did not allow himself to participate in fierce battles. These warriors were so showy.
, under his killing, it was indeed like killing a stray grass.
Although all of the more than fifty warriors are skilled in martial arts, in the face of powerful strength and brutal killing, the so-called sword skills and swordsmanship are scumbag. These warriors and Luo soldiers are far inferior. How can they compete with the fierce generals.
Li Ye charged back and forth three times and killed more than thirty people. Everyone died tragically, with their heads cut off, split in two, or their chests stabbed.
The remaining warriors were so frightened that they turned around and ran away desperately. Yang Jian was the most skilled in martial arts and ran the fastest.
Li Ye did not chase after him. He raised his voice and said coldly: "You guys go back and tell Yang Guozhong that I am the reincarnation of the God of Death. If he doesn't believe it, let him have a try!"
These warriors did not dare to stay in the city, so they jumped over the wall and fled the county.
On the main street of Huining County, there were more than thirty corpses lying on the street. There were stumps of limbs and arms everywhere, pools of blood, and the stench of internal organs rolled out was pungent.
At this time, Li Ye pointed his long finger at the alley dozens of steps behind him and said sternly: "Get out of here!"
More than twenty government officials came out of the alley cautiously. The leader was wearing official uniform and was the magistrate of Huining County.
"This person is the magistrate of this county? Come up and talk to me!"
The county magistrate stepped forward bravely and saluted: "This official is Ma Zhiguo, the magistrate of this county. May I ask your general's surname?"
Li Ye said coldly: "Don't care who I am, Yang Jian will tell you later, do something for me!"
"Please give me your orders, General!"
"Find me some camels loaded with fodder and wheat, and I'll set off before dawn!"
Magistrate Ma wished that this god of murder would leave as soon as possible. He could see clearly that killing people was too terrifying. Fortunately, the people he killed were not ordinary people, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his father and fellow villagers.
"I'll get ready right now!"
There were camels and horse feed in the county, so he gave an order, and the captain rushed away with a few government servants.
After a while, the catcher brought in five tall and strong Bactrian camels, each carrying a large bag of fodder and wheat.
Li Ye didn't expect that the other party would bring so many, but it was a good thing to have enough food and grass, so he asked: "I don't want your camels in vain, how much does one cost?"
The catcher bowed and said: "The camels on the market cost thirty guan each, and the two-humped camels cost 40 guan. These are young and strong camels, very rare, and they are all assets of the county."
Li Ye took out an ingot of gold from his arms. This was found in Wang Gong's suitcase, exactly twenty taels.
He threw the gold over and said, "This is twenty taels of gold, it should be enough!"
The catcher didn't expect that the other party would be so fierce and willing to pay him. The price was very fair and it was gold.
He really looked at Li Ye with admiration. The captain looked back at the county magistrate and said to Li Ye in a low voice: "The roads are all wilderness, and there are wolves and horse bandits. The general had better find an experienced man at the ferry."
Guide.”
"It's so dangerous, can you still find a guide?"
"As long as you give enough money, you can find it. The boatman can introduce it to the general!"
Li Ye cupped his fists and smiled: "Thank you very much!"
At this time, Black Spear came out with five horses. He could not stay here for a long time and had to go on the road overnight.
The catcher sent one of his men to open the city gate for them. At this time, Magistrate Ma came up and asked, "What did you just say to you?"
"The humble position told them that these camels would be loaned to them without any payment."
"Nonsense! How can you not give money? Who knows if they will come back?"
Magistrate Ma snatched the gold and ordered: "Pick up the body quickly and clean the road with water."
He weighed the gold and left with satisfaction. Those camels were left behind by the dead Sogdians, and the government did not spend any money. This ingot of gold naturally became his unexpected income.
The catcher spat at his back and ordered his men: "Hurry up and do it!"
