C15 (1/2)
Chapter 15 - Surge
Bang bang bang! The arrow shot past Xiao Letian's face and one of the arrows pierced through his hat, causing the cap to fly out with the false braid.
”Sir, be careful …” Sima Yun pounced on Xiao Letian like a tiger and pressed him onto the roof, causing the tiles to fall down with a crackling sound.
”Who's on the roof?” There was a cry of alarm from the house, but then a sharp arrow shot through the window shut the room up, and even the lights went out.
Xiao Hexin and the other two were veterans of battle, and from the cunning angle of the enemy arrows, they could tell that the people who were shooting were experts. Without saying a word, he jumped off the roof with Xiao Letian and sprinted along the dark alley.
In the darkness, Xiao Letian had no idea how many people were surrounding the four of them. He could only hear rustling footsteps not too far away from him.
The arrows were shot very sparsely, but they were especially regular. One could feel that the enemy was continuously pressuring the four of them. Clearly, they were trying to force them into the encirclement.
”Protect the two of you mister. I'll go out and barge in and lure the enemies away …” As he spoke, the young lad called Wang Huaiyuan jumped up onto the wall and rushed in the direction of the arrow. Very soon, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. ”Run, it's the Eight-Flagged Dog …”
”This is bad!” Could it be the army of Xi Ling? ”These Tattoo are hard to deal with …” Xiao Hexin moved his body and rushed forward in the direction Wang Huaiyuan disappeared in.
”Sir, climb on my back, don't make a sound, don't shout even if you're injured …” Sima Yun, who was left behind, grabbed Xiao Letian and carried him to the back. His legs moved as fast as a horse's, passing through the dark alleyway.
At this time, Xiao Letian's left hand clenched into a fist and fiercely stuffed his mouth shut. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and the danger he had met was far more dangerous than the night at Mountain Temple.
Xiao Letian knew that the bandits in the Great Qing Dynasty were even more reasonable than the Eight Flag Army. Even though the people who held power in the Qing Dynasty called them the Man Han Family, that was only for the big landlords of the Chinese Officer.
He touched the Colt Revolver in his pocket. The ice-cold metal fellow caused Xiao Letian to regain some of his courage, but when he thought about how there were only three bullets inside, his heart turned cold again.
”Don't worry, sir. Even if I have to give up my life, I will still protect you. Your highness and the brothers on the mountain are waiting for you …” Sima Yun used up almost all of his energy and sprinted along the dark path.
At this time, in a private room on the third floor of the Liuhe Restaurant, the biggest restaurant in Yi County, the Second Master of the West Tomb, Lian Lian, was sitting in front of a window looking at the night scene of Yi County's lights mixed with darkness and darkness.
”Liu County Order …” Second Master Lian Lian pulled on Baji's special long voice and pointed at the figure in the distance with contempt. ”Look at me, the Banner [1], I have the skills and skill of a good horse, I think I am on par with the elites when I first entered the stage?”
”What second master Lian Lian says is true. The Eight Flags Wu Yong has been passed down through generations without end. This is a blessing from the clear, a blessing from the heavens …” Liu County Order cupped his hands in greeting, looking like he was about to hit a thousand.
”Sigh!” I don't understand either, why isn't the Southern Goosebumps letting us, the Eight Flag Man, fight them? They must attack Ceng Titou and the other brothers! Divide the credit to the Chinese for nothing... Pui! ”This damned melon seeds are stinky. How the hell do you serve someone who lacks eyes …”
Before he could finish his sentence, a soldier rushed out. With a series of clangs, he dragged a skinny, trembling man over and threw him onto the ground.
”Please spare me, second master Lian. Please spare me, I'll change it for you now …” ”No, no, no. I'll slap my mouth first, I'll slap my mouth …” The skinny man was the owner of the building. He had slapped himself so hard that his face had swelled up. With three slaps, blood could be seen on the corner of his mouth.
Just as the boss was about to maim himself, a young woman with small feet walked up and timidly brought a black wooden tray in front of Second Master Lian. Underneath the red silk were many small silver ingots.
The woman's soft and gentle voice was heard, ”Master Er, my master is just a wooden person, he doesn't know how to serve. Look how long it's been since he sent over Second Master's subordinates' night rewards …” We know it will be difficult for Second Master to exterminate the bandits tonight. ”Come, let me boil a bath for second master, a proper horse trotter …”
A woman was the boss's concubine. She had always been a half-hidden bitch, and her ability to coax men was a complete set. Seeing that, that old pervert, Ning Xi, immediately lost her temper.
”Hehehe …” ”That's enough, stop standing in front of me. The big boss of Liuhe Restaurant is not as observant as the people in his own room. Go and arrange a banquet …”
Just as Second Master Lian took a sniff of the horseshoe soil and was about to enjoy himself, a loud sound came from the stairs outside the door. ”Reporting …” The Braveheart Battalion surrounded the two black clothed men. They are currently engaged in a fierce battle … ”
”Reporting...” The bandits were extremely fierce, and six soldiers were already injured … ” The messenger at the front had not left when a second one came running.
