Chapter 45 The iron cable crosses the river, with the oriole behind
It was late at night, and Di Yun leaned against the wall, looking at the fire in front of him in a daze.
Too many things happened recently, and it was still a little hard for him to accept.
Feeling the continuous wounds on the body, the black jade intermittent ointment is exerting its medicinal effect.
He looked around again.
In the luggage were the food and things Yan Ming bought for him, and next to them were Ding Dian's ashes.
At this time, Di Yun had left Qixia Town and temporarily settled in an abandoned manor.
Because there were still many people who were secretly thinking about him, Yan Ming sent him away at night, and they parted ways only after they had gone some distance.
Di Yun also deliberately changed his clothes to cover up his appearance.
After resting for a while and waiting until daybreak, you can go to the land and water dock on the Xiliang River, take the first batch of boats and swim down the river back to Jingzhou to fulfill Ding Dian's last wish.
Things seemed to have calmed down, but Di Yun always felt upset.
"Pap..."
There was a soft sound outside the broken wall.
Di Yun immediately became alert, stood up, walked out, and listened.
Footsteps sounded again, and Di Yung was about to make a move when suddenly a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Are you Yun'er?"
Di Yun's mind buzzed.
This voice is too familiar. Isn't it Master Qi Changfa's voice?
But didn’t the master die in the hands of Wan Zhenshan?
Not long ago, Wan Zhenshan admitted in public, how come...
Di Yun's neck seemed to become very stiff and he slowly turned his head.
By the light of the fire, I happened to see the familiar and kind face of Master Qi Changfa.
"Master! Are you not dead?"
Di Yun's face was full of surprise.
Qi Changfa also came over.
"Yun'er, it's easy for me to find you. I heard about you nearby, so I finally found you. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really you..."
While talking, the master and apprentice walked up to him.
Di Yun's face was full of excitement and he was about to ask, when Qi Changfa's fingertips suddenly shot out like electricity, sealing Di Yun's acupuncture points.
"Master, you..."
Di Yun's face was full of surprise.
But in an instant, Qi Changfa's expression changed from kind to twisted and fierce.
"Don't move, tell me obediently, what is the Liancheng Sword Art? Don't try to deny it, I have been secretly observing you for a long time! Ding Dian told you something before he died, right?"
"Master, why are you..."
Di Yun was completely confused.
Looking at the mentor who raised him, the joy of meeting master and apprentice was instantly poured cold water on him.
"Don't expect that little catcher to save you. I saw that he has already left."
Qi Changfa's eyes flashed.
He had been pretending to be dead for so long, and he had waited until Wan Zhenshan and Yan Daping were defeated and Di Yun was left alone before he chose to show up.
But before Qi Changfa could press for a few questions, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked around.
A rustling sound was heard, and dense figures appeared outside the ruins of the manor.
"Huh?"
A voice of surprise came, Qi Changfa raised his head, and happened to face Ling Tuisi who had just appeared.
At this time, Ling Tuisi was dressed in casual clothes and was guarded by several sturdy men in the middle.
He doesn't look like a court official, but like the leader of a Jianghu gang.
"Qi Changfa, weren't you thrown into the wall by Wan Zhenshan? Why didn't you die?"
Ling Tuisi was very surprised.
He had heard about everything that happened in Qixia Town before, so he deliberately held back his temper and did not act rashly like Wan Zhenshan.
After his subordinates secretly found out where Di Yun was, they followed him secretly.
He also waited until now to lead the attack late at night, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, he met Qi Changfa who had the same idea.
Ling Tuisi was surprised, thought for a moment, and chuckled.
"As expected of the scheming Iron Cable across the river, all of us were deceived by a fake death. Poor Wan Zhenshan, when he was taken away, he thought he was blocking you in a wall."
"It seems that both of us want to play a game of oriole behind us, but it seems that my oriole is much stronger than you."
As he spoke, Ling Tuisi looked around.
"Then the little catcher isn't here, right? That's just right. It saves you a lot of effort in dealing with him."
Ling Tui finished his thoughts and clapped his hands.
"Pa bang..."
Following the extremely obvious sound of high-fives, more heads instantly appeared on the wall of the courtyard, surrounding the place.
At a glance, there were nearly a hundred people!
Ling Tuisi's chuckle sounded.
"We have mobilized so many of our brothers from the Shahe Gang and made a lot of arrangements. They were originally prepared for the little catcher just in case, but now you have bumped into it."
Qi Changfa was shocked and angry.
I had been holding back for so long, hiding in the dark, and finally decided to take action. Why was I so unlucky that I bumped into Ling Tuisi?
Seeing the duck in his hand fly away, Qi Changfa was never willing to give in.
He grabbed Di Yun's shoulder blades fiercely and lifted him up.
"Don't move. If anyone dares to make a move, I will kill him first!"
"Master, you..."
Di Yun was in pain, but after encountering great changes, his heart became even more desolate.
It turns out that the mentor who raised him was also obsessed with Liancheng Jue, and even pretended to die for so long, and would kill him as soon as he showed up.
Under such a blow, Di Yun even wanted to die.
But suddenly, Di Yun felt his hand loosen and his body fell.
The moment before it touched the ground, it was enveloped by a gentle force.
"ah!"
Qi Changfa's low cry came.
Holding one hand, he took a few steps back.
At the same time, Yan Ming appeared in the courtyard holding a bloody knife.
Looking at Di Yun on the ground, Yan Ming sighed in his heart.
"What a miserable man."
"Yan Ming, aren't you leaving?"
Qi Changfa and Ling Tuisi were both unexpected.
"If I don't pretend to leave, how can I lure you all out? Magistrate Ling, what's the point of bringing so many people here late at night?"
Yan Ming said and looked at Ling Tuisi.
"Haha, Captain Yan, I have heard that Lou Zhixian likes to grow flowers. I specially brought a rare species and asked you to bring it to me. However, you have to keep this person for me."
Ling Tuisi pointed at Di Yun.
"To be honest, Captain Yan, I'm surprised that you could let things develop like this. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you get involved in this matter, let alone told you about Liancheng Jue."
Ling Tuisi thought these were the truth.
The three words "Liancheng Jue" he had previously revealed to Yan Ming actually meant that "Liancheng Jue" was a sword manual, but it had been hidden somewhere by Ding Dian.
As soon as Ding Dian and Di Yun escaped from prison, they would definitely take out their belongings and put them on their bodies as soon as possible.
Ding Dian was poisoned by his own Jinbo Xunhua and will definitely die. If this little detective finds Di Yun, remember his instructions and keep the things for himself.
Even if Yanming is a small policeman, he can't possibly know what this is.
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be counterproductive. Yan Ming was not that easy to fool.
Yan Ming held the blood knife, still unmoved, and looked at the big men around Ling Tuisi.
"Just them?"
"Hmph, Yan Ming, I know you are very powerful. Of course I can't catch you with the four great Vajras in the Shahe Gang, but..."
As soon as he said this, the figures around him started to move.
There was a heartbreaking "squeaking" sound of the bowstring pulling.
Dozens of arrows pointed at Yan Ming from all directions.
At the same time, some members of the Shahe Gang filled their leather bullet pouches and aimed them at Yan Ming.
Under the dim light, it could be vaguely seen that what they were preparing to launch were round, jet-black projectiles.
"Godly Fire Thunderbolt?"
Qi Changfa was the first to recognize it and shouted.
"Yes, it is the masterpiece of Jiangnan Perak Hall!"
"Yan Ming, I know you are powerful and your body skills are extremely outstanding, but dozens of thunderbolts are exploding all around you. I'm afraid you can't dodge, right?"
"Leave the person and the things to me, and you can go back and be your detective. How about we just pretend that nothing happened?"
Ling Tuisi said with confidence.
These bows, arrows and divine fire thunder bullets were collected by Ling Tuisi after several years of hard work. If they were fired together and restrained by the four Qi and Blood Realm masters from the Shahe Gang, he would be confident of taking down Yan Ming.
"Prefect Ling, as an official of the imperial court, you control Jianghu gangs to stage such a battle. Aren't you afraid of spreading the word?"
Hearing what Yan Ming said, Ling Tuisi became even more proud.
"If Tie Shou was still there, I would still be a little wary. Now that he's gone, what kind of trouble can you cause by yourself?"
With that said, Ling Tuisi raised his arms to count down, preparing for his men to take action.
"well!"
Yan Ming sighed.
"Prefect Ling, you sent someone to follow you secretly before, do you really think I don't know about it? And you don't think it's strange that I dare to show up alone?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Just as Ling Tuisi was about to ask, the sound of iron hands came from the dark night.
"Who said Ben was taken away?"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
At the same time, countless crossbow arrows came from all directions in the night, and a large number of Ling Tuisi's Shahe Gang fell instantly.
"Ah...boom!"
When some members of the Shahe Gang fell, the machine expansion of the Divine Fire Thunderbolt Bomb was triggered.
Immediately with a loud bang, the body was blown to pieces on the spot.
