In the blink of an eye, it had been more than five months since Li Qi arrived in Guangnan, and the Tianji Society seemed to have completely disappeared in Guangnan following the battle at Nanfeng Mountain.
The people who are most happy about the fall of Tianji Society are the wealthy businessmen in Guangnan area.
When the Tianji Society was still around, they would be on tenterhooks every year, fearing that one day they would be robbed by the Tianji Society.
Over the years, some of them have paid protection fees to the Tianji Society, while others have kept a low profile and acted in a low-key manner.
Now that the Tianji Society has been destroyed by the imperial court, wealthy businessmen have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain in Guangnan, taking Nanjing City as an example.
During this period, many brothels suddenly appeared, and countless food and wine were consumed every day.
There are also a variety of luxury carriages on the streets, which is completely different from the previous atmosphere.
Just when Li Qi thought it was almost time to return to Kyoto, Tian Hangnan brought a piece of news.
"Master Li, General Huang asked me to come over and inform you that there will be action tonight." Goddess Tian Hang said mysteriously.
Li Qi was a little confused and asked: "What action?"
Tian Hangnan said: "We have found Duan Muhan's hiding place. General Huang is going to take people there to destroy him tonight."
Li Qi was stunned: "Did you find Duan Muhan? Where is he?"
"It's in a small town more than fifty miles away."
"Is the information reliable?"
"Reliable." Tian Hangnan affirmed.
Li Qi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get ready and go to the military camp in a moment."
"Okay, I'll take my leave first," Tian Hangnan said, cupping his hands.
"kindness."
Li Qi couldn't help but think, is this Duan Muhan still in Guangnan?
Should we say that he is brave? Or should we say that there is some reason why he must stay?
If we deal with him, that day's meeting will be completely over, and the remaining members will be dismissed on their own even if they don't arrest him.
If Duan Muhan can really be solved, it will be a great achievement.
No wonder Huang Jin asked Tian Hangnan to call him.
Li Qi came to the military camp alone, and Huang Jin was already ready.
"Brother." Li Qi cupped his fists and greeted him.
Huang Jin said: "Brother, fifty miles is neither far nor close. I know you don't like riding horses. I have prepared a carriage for you and will set off in a moment."
"Thank you, brother." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
My elder brother is really kind to me.
Riding a horse was simply a kind of torture for Li Qi. Every time after riding a horse, his inner thighs would peel off a layer of skin.
Not only that, walking on horseback for a long time, bumpy and bumpy, is really unbearable.
It would be okay if the horse riding time was short, but Li Qi felt that he would definitely not be able to ride the horse for a long time.
After getting on the carriage, Huang Jin set off on the road with more than a thousand elite troops.
A few hours later, everyone arrived at the small town.
I don't know whether it was because of the late night or something else, but there was no fire or anyone in the town.
Except for Li Qi and the large troops who came over, the whole town was dead silent.
Li Qi opened the curtain of the carriage window, took a look, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Huang Jin brought so many people here, and it was night again. I am afraid that Duan Muhan and the others would have run away when they saw the people. Who would stay here?
"Everyone search separately!" Huang Jin ordered.
The crowd divided into several small teams, quickly dispersed, and began searching the town.
Huang Jin jumped off his horse, came to a farmhouse, and knocked on the door. When an honest farmer saw Huang Jin wearing armor, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Old man, I'm just here to ask for a drink of water, don't panic," Huang Jin said.
After hearing this, the farmer got up and said, "Master, wait a moment."
After a while, the farmer came out with a bucket of water. Huang Jin drank a few gulps from the ladle and said to Li Qi on the carriage: "Brother, do you want a drink of water?"
Li Qi shook his head and looked at the farmer with interest: "Uncle, is this usually the case in your town?"
"Master Jun, what did you say?"
"Let me ask, don't your town usually light up lights at night?"
The farmer's eyes were a little dodgeful, and he smiled and said: "Our town is relatively poor, so we naturally rest at night, which saves money on lamp oil."
"Really?" Li Qi smiled, but there was an uneasy feeling in his heart.
No matter how poor a town is, ordinary people can not light up the lights in order to save money, but some wealthy families can't save such a small amount of money, right?
Li Qi got off the carriage, called Huang Jin aside and said, "Brother, I feel something is wrong here."
Huang Jin smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just feel like something is wrong...Brother, I think it's better to be careful," Li Qi reminded.
Huang Jin said: "Don't worry, the people I brought here this time are all elites, they will be fine."
Seeing that Huang Jin was so confident, Li Qi couldn't say anything more.
Nearly an hour passed, but the soldiers searching the town found no news at all.
Huang Jin sat on a stone on the side of the road, closing his eyes and concentrating, while Li Qi was on the carriage, checking the Shadowless Needle and Haoru Yanhai on his body.
Because he always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
Sure enough, after another time of burning incense, there was suddenly a sound of fighting!
Li Qi opened the curtains and looked outside, only to see officers and soldiers who had gone to search pouring back from all directions, and it looked like they were obviously in trouble.
"Report!!"
A soldier galloped to Huang Jin on horseback, dismounted, and knelt down on one knee: "The general is in trouble! We were ambushed!"
Huang Jin opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were shining brightly, and shouted: "Let everyone gather together!"
After giving the order, Huang Jin looked at Li Qi on the carriage and said, "Brother, it's not safe in the carriage. You'd better ride a horse."
Li Qi nodded: "Okay, big brother."
With that said, he got off the carriage and mounted a horse.
Just when Li Qi just mounted his horse, a sharp arrow came out of nowhere and flew to the ground almost close to his body.
Before Li Qi could react, there were bursts of screams and the roar of horses!
"Watch out for the rain of arrows!" Huang Jin yelled, dragging Li Qi and hiding under an eaves.
The streets in the town are not wide, only about four meters, and there are houses on both sides.
In the darkness, many torches fell to the ground, and many people were injured.
Huang Jin's face turned extremely ugly, and he shouted to a captain not far away: "Gather your troops immediately and hide in the house!"
"yes!"
After Huang Jin gave his instructions, he knocked on the door behind him, only to find that there was no response at all.
The old man who had brought him water before seemed to have disappeared. No matter how Huang Jin knocked on the door, there was no response.
In a rage, Huang Jin raised the steel knife in his hand and suddenly struck the door.
There was a loud "boom" and the door collapsed instantly.
Everyone rushed into the courtyard, and there was still half a figure?
"Brother, we fell into a trap this time!" Li Qi said with a frown.
