In the courtyard of the inn, Yang Xiao sat by the window, with a small table and a bamboo chair, a piece of roast goose, and a sip of wine, enjoying himself leisurely.
Zhang Junbao on the side was holding the roast goose in one hand, tearing off the goose leg with the other, chewing it hard, and his face was full of oil.
"Friend, since you are here, why not show up and meet me."
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine and looked at the banyan tree outside the courtyard wall.
Zhang Junbao put down the roasted goose with his left hand and held the roasted goose leg in his mouth with his right hand. He suddenly stood up and jumped towards the courtyard wall like the wind. With a bend of his legs, he jumped up into the dense branches of the big banyan tree.
After a while, Zhang Junbao gnawed on the goose leg and jumped down from the tree while cursing.
"Sir, there is no one outside."
"Oh, that's good." Yang Xuan was still drinking a small drink leisurely.
Zhang Junbao was stunned: "Are you trying to impress me?"
"As you said, this is called predicting the enemy's opportunity."
Zhang Junbao rolled his eyes and came back to continue eating the roasted goose. But just as he was tearing off the other goose leg, his ears twitched slightly and he suddenly looked towards the banyan tree outside the courtyard wall.
The next moment, he waved his hand and threw the goose leg in his hand.
At the same time as Goose Legs took action, a man in black appeared on the wall of the courtyard. He turned over and jumped down. As a result, Goose Legs hit his calf. He lost his balance and fell down, falling to the ground like a dog.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao exclaimed: "My goose legs."
Just when he was upset, several men in black appeared one after another on the courtyard wall, holding bright steel knives in their hands.
Zhang Junbao looked at his greasy hands. He wanted to wipe them on his clothes, but then he remembered that he had to wash the clothes himself if they were dirty, so he decided not to wipe them. He came to Yang Xuan and reached out to grab something from his plate.
Got a goose leg.
"Why did you come after waiting all night?"
Yang Xuan raised his wine glass: "I've almost finished my wine."
There were already seven or eight masked men in black clothes in the yard. The leader of them snorted coldly: "The man named Yang is quite courageous. He knew I was coming and he still dared to wait here."
Yang Xuan spread his hands and said, "If I don't wait here, where else can I go?"
The other party laughed ferociously: "Since you are so sensible, I will give you a good reward. Don't blame me. Who told you to block my way of making money?"
"Look at what you said, how could I have blocked your way of making money, and you didn't tell me earlier, otherwise, if we cooperated, it wouldn't be easy to make money."
The man in black was stunned. What he said made sense. This guy's business skills were much better than Shopkeeper Liu. If he had cooperated directly with him, there would have been so many troubles...
No, this guy is from Prince Qiong's Mansion, and he even captured my second brother.
"Stop talking so sweetly. If you know what's going on, you'll just surrender."
"Hey, why are you so inconsistent? One moment you say you want to give me a good time, and the next moment you say you want me to be helpless. Please make it clear what you want. You are too embarrassing."
"..."
The man in black was speechless, wondering what the hell are this kid and I talking about here? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, kill without mercy."
But the next moment, the windows of the wing rooms on both sides slammed open, and several arrows were shot from inside.
Puff, puff, three were shot on the spot, and then several big men rushed out from the rooms on both sides.
The men in black retreated one after another until they were leaning against the courtyard wall. The leader snorted: "I knew you had an ambush."
"You know there's an ambush and you let your men die. You're really not a good person."
"..."
The leading man in black was speechless again. He pursed his lips and whistled. The next moment, a dozen more men in black came in from outside the courtyard wall.
Yang Xuan slapped the goose legs out of Zhang Junbao's hand: "Hurry up, I'll buy ten roast geese in a minute, and the legs will be yours."
Zhang Junbao's eyes lit up and he flew up.
At this time, there were seventeen or eight people in black in the courtyard, and there were only six people on Yang Xuan's side, including him, and the two sides instantly got into a melee.
Yang Xuan took out an exquisite crossbow, put it on his arm, and aimed with narrowed eyes.
Although there are only five people participating in the battle on Yang Xuan's side, the yard is so big, and it is not easy for the opponent's ten or so people to perform well, especially the four big men, who are all skilled in the art of hard bridges and hard horses, and the steel swords in their hands are used to chop and chop the situation.
With great force, the man in black was either forced back by the sword or fell to the ground seriously injured.
Zhang Junbao was the only one in the crowd, like a fish swimming around, hitting him in the east and kicking in the west. Several men in black could have blocked the attack, but he broke the defense and was chopped down by a knife.
.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading man in black shouted: "Don't worry about the others, kill the man named Yang first."
Immediately, several men in black walked through the gap and approached Yang Xuan, but the next moment, the man in front was hit by an arrow in the face.
Yang Xuan holds the crossbow in his right hand and cocks it with his left hand. He only needs to pull the mechanism, and the crossbow arrows in the quiver are loaded. He raises his hand and shoots another arrow.
Although the arrow did not hit the vital point, it still penetrated seven points of the flesh. The man in black who was hit by the arrow immediately screamed and fell down.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Junbao came back with a black dagger in his hand.
With a weapon in hand, his lethality suddenly increased by several levels. Whenever he passed by a man in black, the man in black would scream and fall to the ground.
Not long after, there were only four men in black left, including the leader. Since his face was covered, the expression on his face could not be seen, but there was still panic in his eyes.
"Fight them."
The leader roared angrily, and the other three came forward with swords, but he himself jumped onto the wall.
But before he could jump down, a crossbow arrow hit his leg.
"Jun Bao, catch them alive."
Zhang Junbao flipped his hand, the dagger disappeared, and he twisted his body and stepped onto the wall.
The leader of the man in black was hit by an arrow in his leg, and he couldn't run fast if he followed him, let alone Zhang Junbao who was chasing him.
The only three people left in the yard wielded steel knives and slashed wildly, but the four big men had already taken a few steps away and did not make contact with them at all.
After a while, the three of them were exhausted and sat down on the ground.
"Throw the knife away. If you behave well, I can spare your lives."
The three of them looked at each other, finally gritted their teeth and threw away the knife.
They can't fight again and again, they can't run away, and even the boss has sold them, so what else can they do?
After a while, Zhang Junbao came back, carrying the leading man in black on his shoulders.
This man had been knocked unconscious and was thrown to the ground by Zhang Junbao like a dead dog.
His mask had been lifted. Yang Xuan looked at him and didn't recognize him, but it didn't matter. There were three living people beside him.
"Is this your boss?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"Who is he and why do you want to obey him?"
"It was the order of our headmaster. The headmaster calls him Mr. Zhao. We don't know the rest."
