Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 142: Chaos turned into a pot of porridge
Yang Yuan's breathing suddenly became heavy. Although he controlled his breathing immediately, a speck of dust on the edge of the curtain was blown away by his breath.

A light dust will not have much impact if no one pays attention to it.

But when they heard the great prospects that Eunuch Li boasted about for them, the four of them were fascinated.

Madam Wan glanced at Di Jiuzhou diagonally opposite with her watery eyes, as if conveying something.

Before her husband noticed, she had already turned her head away.

As he turned his eyes, he saw a wisp of dust falling in the air, which was particularly obvious under the night light.

"Alas?"

Madam Wan cried out in surprise.

When she raised her eyes, Yang Yuan had already decisively pulled the trigger on the crossbow.

"Keng!"

A featherless arrow shot out, penetrated from the upper side and pierced into Lu Zang's temple.

Yang Yuan curled up and kicked the rafters on the roof with the "rabbit kicking eagle" move.

One, two, three...

The function of the dust collector is to collect the dust falling from the roof, and it also serves a decorative purpose.

Therefore, its load-bearing capacity is very limited.

An ordinary casket cannot even bear the weight of a person.

Since this meeting hall is quite large, the roof is made extra sturdy, but it is still difficult to withstand such a strong impact.

Yang Yuan hit it three times in a row, and the curtain made a "cracking" sound. The curtain on Yang Yuan's side was the first to lose contact with the roof and fell down.

The dust that was stirred up filled the entire hall.

In the flying dust, Yang Yuan also fell down.

When Lu Zang was shot, Madam Wan stood up.

When the curtain fell off, several people retreated in horror.

With a loud "bang", the entire floor fell to the ground, and dust flew everywhere, just like when the smog was at its worst. It was difficult to see people five steps away.

Yang Yuan held his breath, and taking advantage of the position he had been staring at, he suddenly lunged forward, stepped on the dustpan that had just landed on the ground with his toes, and flew into the air, slashing towards Eunuch Li with a knife.

Eunuch Li knocked over the armchair and just took three steps back, with the lingering fear still in his body, when a cold light came from the flying dust.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

Yang Yuan stabbed in the air with his knife, then slashed with it, and with a "puff" the knife passed by the back of Eunuch Li's neck.

Eunuch Li was still running, but his head suddenly dropped to his chest.

He ran forward three steps out of inertia, then bumped his head... the back of his head... into the wooden screen.

The blood spurting from the cut on the back of the neck splashed on the screen, as if an old plum tree had blossomed.

When Yang Yuan swung the knife, he knew by the feeling of his hand that the knife had hit.

Without stopping for a moment, he stepped forward with his left foot, leaned sideways, and pounced towards Ba Tingzhang's position.

"Clang clang clang clang", there was a sound of metal clashing.

After all, Ba Tingzhang was a very skilled fighter. Although he was caught off guard by the sudden change, he still managed to draw his sword in time and exchanged seven sword strikes with Yang Yuan.

"what!"

Ba Tingzhang screamed, his thumb was cut off, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

As soon as Yang Yuan started fighting, he realized that this man's martial arts was far superior to his own. He had the upper hand and was able to force him to retreat step by step.

Now he had taken the initiative and cut off one of his fingers. If he didn't take the opportunity to kill him, he would never have another chance. Therefore, he pounced on him, as if he would fight to the death.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sudden sharp whistle from the side. Yang Yuan groaned and felt a pain under his ribs. All the strength in his body almost dissipated.

He took a deep breath, kept his body straight, and knocked Batingzhang down hard, with the handle of the knife hitting his nose.

Even though Bashetou was highly skilled, he was hit hard on such a vulnerable part by the handle of the knife, causing tears, snot and blood to flow out, and he completely lost the ability to move.

Yang Yuan leaned back, clenched the knife in his hand, pointed the knife downward, and stabbed into Ba Tingzhang's chest with one fierce blow.

Then he rolled forward and escaped from the battle.

Ba Tingzhang's eyes opened wide, his mouth moved, and suddenly a pool of dirty blood gushed out of his throat, and his legs began to twitch uncontrollably.

Yang Yuan then realized that he felt a sharp pain under his ribs. He reached out and touched his hands, which were covered in blood.

Madam Wan pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, and the hairpin pierced Yang Yuan's chest and abdomen.

Her jet-black hair was loose, revealing a pair of fiery red lips and a pair of murderous eyes.

She stared at Yang Yuan fiercely, stretched her hand to her waist, and a thin, soft sword popped out tremblingly like a poisonous snake.

Yang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he turned and rushed to the side door.

Before he hid in Chengchen, he had already carefully explored this meeting hall.

In addition to the main entrance, there is also a corner door leading to a convenient place.

Yang Yuan didn't want to escape. He knew that even if he was not injured, he would not be able to get out once the alarm sounded outside.

What's more, he is now seriously injured.

It is easy to say that one can pierce his chest and abdomen with a golden hairpin. How much wrist strength does this require?

Even if the gold hairpin was solid and heavy enough, few people could do it.

He couldn't do it anyway.

From what he knew, his elder brother might not be able to do it either.

This woman seems to be even more difficult to deal with than her husband, Bashetou.

Moreover, she also drew out a thin and soft sword that swayed like a willow branch in the wind.

If you hold this thing in your hand and can avoid hurting yourself, let alone others, you are considered a master.

Yang Yuan knew that even if he had not been injured, he would not be a match for this female killer without the advantage of the initiative.

If he forced his way forward at this moment, he would only end up giving away his head.

So, he wanted to rush out of the meeting hall and kill a few more three-watch killers!
He was going to die here anyway, so the better to kill one more person the better.

Yang Jia Erlang is just like that, "he will haggle over every penny!"

…The entire “Qiyun Society” was in chaos.

When the huge dustpan fell to the ground, the loud noise startled the people outside the hall.

The man in the straw raincoat brought by Li Rong suddenly turned around and kicked the door.

The door burst open and a cloud of dust blew in, like thick smoke, penetrating every hole.

The man in the straw raincoat was choked and took several steps back.

When the patrolling killers who rushed over saw this scene, they realized that an accident had happened, and the alarm gongs and gongs sounded immediately.

After the last accident, the transmission of warning information from "Qiyun Society" became extremely fast.

The entire Qiyun Society responded immediately, and killers were on alert everywhere.

Yuan Chengju and Guo Xuzhi, who were quietly infiltrating the "Qiyun Society" with a few capable plainclothes officers from the Imperial City Bureau, suddenly changed color.

They came following Eunuch Li.

Guo Xuzhi shouted: "Oh no, we've been discovered!"

Yuan Chengju made a prompt decision: "Fire the flare!"

An Imperial City Officer behind him immediately raised his sleeve arrow, and like the sharp whistle of an owl at night, it immediately pierced the night sky and shot far away in the direction of Leifeng Pagoda.

Dozens of plainclothes officers from the Imperial City Division who were lying in ambush near Leifeng Pagoda heard the sound of arrows and immediately shouted and rushed towards the Qiyun Society.

Guo and Yuan were ordered by Liu Guojiu to keep an eye on the Guoxin Institute.

After the death of Zhang Dingbang, Shen He and others, they turned their attention to Eunuch Li himself.

The last time Eunuch Li went to "Hele Tower" for a banquet, they followed him and even dressed up as "gate greeters".

Now that Eunuch Li visited the "Qiyun Society" on a rainy night, they guessed that something was wrong, so they decided to sneak in and find out what was going on.

To be on the safe side, they mobilized dozens of plainclothes imperial soldiers armed with powerful crossbows to provide nearby support.

But he didn't expect that he would be discovered not long after he infiltrated the "Qiyun Society"?

Now that I've been discovered, I have no choice but to fight my way out.

Although a warning was issued in "Qiyun Society", it could not explain the specific location of the incident or the situation they were facing.

Suddenly, seven or eight masked men in black jumped out from hiding, armed with swords, guns and crossbows. It was obvious that they were the target!
As the two sides clashed, shouts and the sounds of swords and guns clashing spread out like ripples.

Every killer who hears the noise will inform other killers in the nearest area and then follow the sound to kill.

Then, the three-watch killers rushed towards Guo Xuzhi and Yuan Chengju as if they were sucked together in circles.

When they arrived, the plainclothes imperial guards who were there to support them also arrived.

As soon as they saw the situation on the scene, the imperial soldiers who came to support them started shooting arrows without saying a word.

"Sass, rustle..."

It was like cutting wheat, and a group of killers were knocked down.

The other killers immediately threw their hidden weapons, performed ground boxing, and rushed towards them.

……

Outside the Qiyun Society, in the jungle, a branch of a big tree several feet high suddenly moved in a dizzying way.

Then, a figure appeared under the big tree. No one knew how he slid down, but he was from the top of the tree to under the tree in almost an instant.

On his shoulders, he had a piece of colorful cloth tied.

This piece of cloth is his protective color. With the help of this cloth, it is difficult for him to be discovered when he lies on a tree trunk like a gecko or walks tiptoe in the jungle.

His name is Song Laoshi, a scout in the Tabai Army of the Shenwu Rear Army.

He guessed that there must be something wrong with "Qiyun Society" and that Yang Yuan's next target might be here.

When he was waiting in front of "Hele Tower" before, he did not wait for Yang Yuan, but the killers' vigilance towards him made him more convinced that he had not found the wrong place.

So, he began to keep an eye on Qiyun Society. During this period, he even sneaked into the inner courtyard of Qiyun Society to search, but found nothing.

But he still chose this place, and his hard work paid off, and he really reaped the rewards tonight.

The commotion in "Qiyun Society" was most likely caused by Yang Yuan.

Song Laoshi looked up to the sky and let out the cry of a night owl, and was immediately rewarded with a shrill cry like that of a baby in the distance. He didn't know what kind of bird it was.

That's Xiao Gouzi.

The other three were worried about him being here alone, so they took turns to have one of them accompany him here every night to spy.

After notifying Xiao Gouzi, Song Laoshi immediately crouched down and rushed forward.

He was so agile that you couldn't tell at all that he was a cripple.

"Ok?"

A crossbowman from Qiyun Society who was lying in ambush in the woods suddenly noticed some movement, but before he could find the direction from which the sound came, he realized that there was some movement.

A knife-like hand had suddenly appeared from behind him and slashed across his throat.

Just like many people misunderstand that archers are the weakest soldiers, in fact, archers are generally more brave and skilled in fighting than ordinary soldiers.
Many people also underestimate scouts.

A scout is more than just a spy. How can someone who can sneak into the enemy group and act as a spy be an ordinary soldier?

In Fuso, the earliest name for ninja was scout.

They are scouts and killers!
On the other side of the jungle, Xiao Gouzi also began to take action.

During these few days in the forest, they had actually figured out the location of the Qiyun Society's secret sentry in the jungle ahead.

It’s just that the situation was unclear before, and in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we didn’t touch them.

Now that we have decided to break in and rescue people, we naturally have to eliminate these secret sentries.

However, Xiao Gouzi's fighting style is completely different from that of Old Man Song, but...

The speed at which he broke in was no slower than that of Old Man Song.

Yang Yuan rushed out of the meeting hall with the idea that he could gain a profit by killing one more person. As soon as he went out, he was stunned.

There were gong sounds and shouts everywhere outside, and the old, weak, women and children in the inner house were shouting and screaming, making a mess.

There were no assassins as he had expected, and no assassins rushing to other places for reinforcements, but all gathered at the front door of the meeting hall.

This... Since there is a chance to live, what am I waiting for?

I just heard a big secret but haven’t used it yet!
Yang Yuan rushed towards the east wall where the jungle was the densest...
