Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 259: Frostfall and Snowfall
The sword skills in the hands of the father and son were magical, and they complemented each other. They fought with all their strength along the way, and they quickly arrived in front of the east gate.
The two of them each held a door and tried their best to open the door a crack big enough for one person to pass through.
Ye Qingfeng hurriedly shouted to the people around him: "Brothers, get out of the city quickly, don't stop fighting!"
Everyone was overjoyed, quickly got rid of the entanglement of the pursuers, and rushed out of the city with all their might.
Lu Ning and Totuo each held a sword, facing back to back, fighting the enemy bravely, and intercepted the pursuers in front of the door, unable to move forward.
Lu Ning glanced at Totuo, who looked slightly tired, and felt quite unbearable: "Brother, it's all my fault for dragging you down..."
Toto laughed and shouted: "Stop talking! I won't let you stay alone!"
Lu Ning smiled knowingly, but he heard Ye Qingfeng shout loudly outside the door: "Young gang leader, brother Tutuo, come out quickly, the city gate is about to be closed! Don't be reluctant to fight!"
Lu Ning shouted to Totuo: "Brother, let's go too!"
"Okay!" Toto shouted, retreating and beating.
He turned around from time to time and saw Lu Ning following closely behind him, so he whipped his horse and hurried out the door.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, Lu Ning and Totuo had already arrived at the door.
Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Ning turning around and firing thousands of needles. A large number of the pursuers behind her fell down. She reined in her horse again and stood pretty in the door.
Ye Qingfeng felt suffocated and exclaimed: "Young Gang Leader, what are you going to do?"
Toto had already passed the gate. When he heard the shouting, he immediately turned around, held the gate tightly with both hands, and shouted angrily: "Little deer, come out quickly!"
Lu Ning smiled brightly at him and shouted firmly: "I can't leave Xiao Qi and those captured brothers behind!"
Ye Qingfeng also ran over and blocked the door, shouting: "Let's go out first, and then find a way to save them!"
Lu Ning shook his head vigorously and said loudly: "Once I get out of this door, their lives will be in danger! I can't be so selfish, you should leave quickly!"
Ye Qingfeng and Totuo held on to the door with all their might, shouting tremblingly: "We won't leave until you come out."
Lu Ning pondered for a moment, then swung his sword to his neck and said proudly: "If you don't leave, I will die here!"
When Ye Qingfeng heard her decisive words, he was so frightened that he was afraid that something might happen to her, so he hurriedly let go of his hand.
Toto was left standing against the door with all his strength, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Little deer, I won't leave you here alone!"
Lu Ning felt sad and shouted to Ye Qingfeng: "Don't let Toto get in trouble, take him away quickly!"
Ye Qingfeng secretly clenched his fists and struggled for a long time before he tremblingly raised his single sword high, flipped his wrist, and hit Toto's vest hard with the back of the sword.
Toto spurted out a mouthful of blood, and with a shudder of his body, he was dragged out by Ye Qingfeng. The heavy door was instantly closed in front of his eyes. Toto pushed Ye Qingfeng away, rushed over, smashed the door and shouted.
The caravan brothers who had escaped were all clenching their teeth and weeping silently.
Ye Guming reluctantly turned the horse's head and shouted to everyone: "We can't live up to everything the young gang leader has done for us, let's leave as soon as possible!"
Everyone pulled up their sleeves and wiped their eyes, then turned around and followed Ye Guming, turning back step by step and leaving slowly.
Only Totuo sat blankly in front of the door, and Ye Qingfeng stood beside him. The two of them were heartbroken at this moment. They wanted to cry loudly, but they couldn't...
Seeing the tall city gate slowly closing in front of him, Lu Ning smiled sadly and waved goodbye.
Holding back her tears, she immediately turned her horse's head and looked coldly at the pursuers behind her. With one hand, she touched her already empty waist, and with the other hand, she drew back the reins and walked slowly, approaching those people slowly.
The pursuers were all afraid of the silver needle in her hand and hesitated to get close. They took a few steps back and kept their distance.
Lu Ning pretended to smile coldly: "You don't have to come to arrest me. I'm going to see Magistrate Cai now! If anyone dares to approach rashly, be careful because I have a hidden weapon in my hand. I'm not merciful!"
After saying that, seeing that the officers and soldiers did not dare to step forward, he immediately slapped the horse's butt and hurried away in the direction of the execution ground.
The law field was surrounded by heavy troops.
Magistrate Cai leisurely crossed his legs and sat under the banquet tent to drink tea. The master always stood by his side respectfully.
He raised his eyes and looked at the prisoners in front of the mat tent: on the right, Hu Qizheng was holding Xiao Yulou, whose face was bloodless and dying, standing aside.
To the left was a group of people trapped in fishing nets, cursing and struggling desperately.
The master hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Master Prefect, how do you plan to deal with these rebels?"
"What's the hurry? Wait a minute!" Magistrate Cai held the tea cup and slowly foamed the tea leaves, looking leisurely and contented.
The master didn't know what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask further.
An officer and soldier strode over, bowed his hands, and said loudly: "Reporting to Magistrate Cai, the caravan has just broken through the east gate and has now escaped. Can you open the door to pursue them?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
I didn't expect that they could escape from such a tightly designed dragnet. These people really have some skills!
This news shocked Magistrate Cai, completely beyond his expectation.
He stood up slowly, walked to the mat tent with his hands behind his back, and stood in front of the group of people caught in the fishing nets. He sneered: "You risked your lives to save us, but your gang leader abandoned you! It seems that you are with the wrong person.
!」
The purple-faced man sitting at the front raised his head and laughed: "Back then, the young gang leader took the initiative to be bound to protect us. Now that we can rescue her safely, we live up to her friendship. We deserve to die, and we die without regrets! Yes!
Isn’t it, brothers?”
He turned his head and shouted loudly, and the brothers behind him echoed and shouted loudly.
Magistrate Cai snorted coldly, turned around and walked up to Hu Qi and Xiao Yulou.
Looking at this face that was as good as Xiao Yulou's, he sarcastically said: "Hu Qi, Hu Qi! We promised to depend on each other for life and death, but now that your life is on the line, where is she?"
Unexpectedly, Hu Qi laughed loudly: "Master Magistrate, our lives are in your hands. Kill us if you want. Why bother to sow discord here! Are you suffering from not having a loyal subordinate, or are you just worried?
Without a lover who is willing to share life and death with you?"
Magistrate Cai's face was ugly and he was extremely angry.
The brothers in the caravan burst into laughter, and then began to curse.
The master suddenly took a few steps closer and whispered: "Most of the caravans are here, and those who escaped will probably not come back. Do you want to..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a beheading gesture.
Magistrate Cai twirled his beard and nodded, saying, "These thugs still haven't repented. They really deserve to be killed!"
Xiao Yulou struggled to break away from Hu Qi's support and fell to the ground. He tried his best to crawl to Magistrate Cai's feet and begged with a trembling voice: "Sir, Prince Annan...can't be killed!"
Magistrate Cai kicked his hand away and said with a cold smile: "Where is the prince? Didn't the person you mentioned just die in the chaos?"
Xiao Yulou was shocked. After understanding what he meant, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Hu Qi went to help Xiao Yulou up and said warmly: "Yulu, don't beg this person again! I'm not afraid of death!"
"That's it, that's it!" Xiao Yulou turned around and held Hu Qi's hand, smiling weakly: "Xiao Qi, I'm so happy to have you with me on the road to hell..."
Above the execution ground, the floating clouds covered the sun, and a half-pole red sun hung obliquely over the city.
Magistrate Cai looked a little impatient. He waved his hand, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers came forward and pushed the two men to the ground.
Dozens more officers and soldiers removed the fishing nets, pinned the caravan to the ground, and waited quietly for Magistrate Cai's fate!
Xiao Yulou lay on the ground, turned his face to look at Hu Qi, and stretched out his hand to grab his hand.
Hu Qiyi was startled and smiled slightly, but did not hide away. The eyes of the two people were calm!
The caravan members sat cross-legged across from each other, chatting and laughing under the leadership of Huo Siming.
It seemed that everyone was drinking, talking and laughing as usual, without paying any attention to Magistrate Cai and the officers and soldiers!
The atmosphere in the execution ground gradually became strange.
People who were about to die showed no fear and laughed endlessly.
The surrounding officers and soldiers gradually became uneasy, and even let out low shouts and curses.
Magistrate Cai took out a cigarette from the barrel and held it in his hand, but he refused to drop it. He looked into the distance from time to time, his mind always wandering.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, followed by a clear and melodious cry: "Lu Ning is here, Dog Officer, stop it!"
Everyone was shocked and followed the sound one after another.
A girl in red galloped over with her horse and whip raised, a steel knife shining coldly in her hand.
She rushed to the execution ground, immediately dismounted from her horse, held the steel blade in her hand, and moved closer.
The caravan members were both happy and sad to see their young gang leader: they were happy that she was still alive, but sad that she had thrown herself into a trap and might not live long!
When Hu Qi heard Lu Ning's shouts, he was startled and tried desperately to turn his head to look, but was pinned to the ground by the officers and soldiers, unable to move at all.
A proud and satisfied smile appeared on Magistrate Cai's face.
When Lu Ning approached, the officers and soldiers immediately rushed over with knives and surrounded her.
Lu Ning Dooran stopped and glanced coldly at the officers and soldiers who were looking at him eagerly.
After a pause, she shouted to Magistrate Cai: "Master Magistrate, haven't you been waiting for me? Now that I'm here, you don't want to see me? Are you afraid that I will kill you with one knife?"
Magistrate Cai twirled his beard and raised his head to the sky, laughing loudly and shouting: "You really did not disappoint me, you are finally back!"
Lu Ning, surrounded by soldiers, took a few steps closer and shouted in a deep voice: "They don't know anything! Let them go, I'll stay!"
Hu Qi was shocked when he heard this. He lay on the ground and roared: "Xiaolu, why do you want to come back? Why?"
Lu Ning did not answer, but still stared at Magistrate Cai sharply.
She endured the strong pain in her vest and did not dare to relax the single sword in her hand.
Magistrate Cai raised his head and laughed loudly, saying sarcastically: "Young leader! You are indeed too young! What a woman! Now that things have happened, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me? Now, all of you are going to die.
, but it’s all in my hands, I can crush you to death without any effort!”
As he spoke, he spread out his right hand, tightened it suddenly, then slowly spread it out, blowing on the palm of his hand, his face full of joy.
Lu Ning looked at him with a half-smile, and shouted bluffingly: "Master Magistrate, who's life is in whose hands? Didn't your men tell you how powerful my flying needle is? This
Along the way, there must have been hundreds, not to mention a thousand, of people who died under my flying needles!"
Magistrate Cai was slightly startled, then sneered and said: "No matter how powerful the flying needle is, it doesn't matter. I have thousands of officers and soldiers here. When they swarm up, no matter how many tricks you use, you will only be restrained!"
Lu Ning chuckled and said disdainfully: "Master Cai is stupid? I don't need to kill them at all, I just need to kill you! Do you know why I didn't get closer to you? Because there is no need to be so close, you are
There is no way you can outrun my flying needles! Before they come around, you will have been sieved!"
Before she finished speaking, she reached out and touched her waist.
Magistrate Cai's face changed drastically, and he finally panicked. He stepped back and shouted, "Someone come and protect me! Hurry!"
A group of officers and soldiers came out with their swords drawn, but Lu Ning shouted: "No one is allowed to move! If anyone dares to move again, I will kill this dog officer directly!"
When Magistrate Cai saw that she was as cold as ice and filled with murderous intent, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Lu, it's easy to talk, easy to say! What do you want, let's sit down and talk!"
