Seeing Ye Xiaotian enter with a knife in hand, the middle-aged man standing in the hall looked ashen, and asked tremblingly, "You... who are you?"
Before Ye Xiaotian came in, the Miao man had already told him about the strange situation in the hall. Even though he had prepared himself, when he saw the situation in the hall, Ye Xiaotian still took a deep breath.
All the sitting people were dead, some of them could see obvious injuries from their forehead, throat, chest and abdomen, and some could not see any injuries from their appearance, but from their sitting postures and the bloodstains dragging on the ground See, most of these people didn't die on the chairs, they were killed and moved back to the chairs.
From left to right, Ye Xiaotian carefully looked at the corpses sitting on each chair, and saw that their death conditions were all kinds of strange. Ye Xiaotian's gaze finally fell on the big man on the tiger leather chair directly in front of him. He was wearing a short spear on his chest, nailing his whole body to the chair.
This person's eyes were wide open, his hands were leaning on the chair, looking at the posture, it seemed that he was about to jump up, and the whole person was still in a state of jumping, Ye Xiaotian said: "This person... is Long Lingyun, the leader of a dragon ?”
The person standing in the hall trembled: "Yes! It's... it's him, who are you?"
Ye Xiaotian relaxed, looked at him with a smile, and said kindly: "Your step is Lin Yuanwai, right?"
The middle-aged man flinched and replied hesitantly, "Yes!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled more happily, bowed his hands to him, and said happily: "Member Lin, don't panic, I am not a gangster, but an official of the imperial court. I am the official history of Hu County, and my surname is Ye and my name is Xiaotian. Ordered by Tongren Zhang Zhifu and Huazhi County of this county, they went into the mountains to suppress the bandits."
When the Lin member heard this, his knees went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, crying loudly, "My God, you guys are here..."
…
Ye Xiaotian supported Lin Yuanwai as he walked and said attentively: "Lin Yuanwai, the forest in this village is lush and lush, and there may still be remnants of bandits who have not been wiped out, so we must guard against it. I will accompany you out of this place first, for the sake of safety. "
Member Lin said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Ye, for saving your life, Mr. Lin will never forget it."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you are too polite. To tell you the truth, Ye is a student of Zhang Zhifu. If you count it like this, he is your junior."
Lin Yuanwai's eldest daughter was a concubine for Zhang Zhifu, so strictly speaking, Lin Yuanwai couldn't afford the status of Zhang Zhifu's father-in-law, but his daughter was very much loved by Zhang Zhifu, so his status was different.
When Ye Xiaotian said this, Member Lin felt very cordial, and said softly "Ah", "It turns out that Master Lin is a student of the prefect of Tongren, so we are really a family."
Ye Xiaotian supported the forest member and walked out under the escort of a dozen seedling fighters. At the same time, he secretly gave Hua Yunfei a wink. Hua Yunfei understood. As soon as they left, Hua Yunfei immediately directed the seedlings Soldiers searched.
They searched the cottage and found a lot of property. This group of bandits has occupied the place and committed countless crimes over the years. Goods are bound to be extravagant, but there is always some surplus.
Especially some bandits who are getting older, they can't help thinking that there will be a day when they can't wield a big knife, and they will always have to wash their hands in a golden basin, so they start saving money early, and these young seedlings searched all their coffin books Come out, the harvest is also rich.
The Shengmiao warriors took all the treasures they could take, wrapped their bodies in silk, carried treasures in their arms, and carried iron pots on their heads. They became extremely bloated for a while, but when they left, they were originally light and agile. All of them turned into clumsy and slow big fat people.
Seeing this appearance, Hua Yunfei couldn't help but feel a little headache. How about returning to Hu County with this appearance? He hurriedly sent someone to ask Ye Xiaotian for instructions, and Ye Xiaotian replied straightforwardly: "Then don't let them go back to Hu County, just go back to the cottage!"
The visitor said again: "Hua Yunfei asked me to ask you, do you want everyone to distribute some goods to pay for those who died in battle?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "No, you send a message to Sister Sun, asking her to go to the temple to ask for money, just say that I said it, and the temple will provide compensation for those Shengmiao soldiers who died in battle."
When the young warrior who knew Chinese heard it, he immediately showed a strange expression, and said in his heart, "What a big tone, what qualifications do you have to order the temple to do things for you?"
Seeing his expression, Ye Xiaotian quickly changed his words and said: "Oh! This is what the Venerable told me. The Venerable has no plans to spare. Naturally, he had expected that there would be loyal soldiers who died, but they all returned to heaven and became Gu Gods. The warriors around, their relatives in the world, naturally should be taken care of by the temple!"
The Shengmiao warrior was relieved now, thinking that the great Gu God knows everything, he can see everything the devout believers have done for him in the sky, and he was so excited that he couldn't be more excited. Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes glowed, Ye Xiaotian was afraid that he would faint from happiness, so he quickly stopped and sent him away.
After the seedling warrior left, Ye Xiaotian went back under the old tree, and said to the forest officer: "Lin officer, please continue."
Lin Yuanwai said: "Okay! At that time... I was escorted to the hall, and all the bandit leaders were there. A dragon sat at the top and said to one person, "Old Jiu, the swarm of people will arrive soon, let's go out with them." Do a big job, you take this old guy with you, and take the Lin family's ransom along the way... "
Lin Yuanwai was imprisoned for a long time, and he barely died of starvation after eating and hungry, and no one paid attention to him all the time. On this day, he was suddenly lifted out of the cell and brought to the Juyi hall.
At first Lin Yuanwai thought he was going to be executed, but he was afraid of death. He was overjoyed when he heard that he was being exchanged for the ransom, but at this time the person Long Lingyun called Lao Jiu sat on the chair and said carelessly: "Brother, we and the swarm of people only need to make this big deal come true." It will not last a lifetime, so what do you want the Lin family to do with that little ransom, just let him do it."
When member Lin heard this, he almost peed his pants in fright, but Long Lingyun laughed and said, "You haven't developed yet, so you're going to put on a rich man's ostentation first." The leaders burst into laughter.
Long Lingyun said: "Mosquito legs are also meat, we have to go through this anyway, hug grass and beat rabbits, let's do it along the way. Five thousand taels is not too small."
As soon as he said this, a bandit came in and reported that Lao Ding had arrived. The forest staff didn't know who Lao Ding was, and they didn't dare to look back. They saw a dragon standing up from his seat and rushing towards the entrance of the hall. He laughed and said, "Brother Ding, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Only then did Member Lin turn his body slightly, and secretly looked at the entrance of the hall, he saw a man of short stature in a Ge robe, blindfolded with a black cloth, standing at the entrance of the hall, looking at the man His hair was gray and he seemed to be quite old. Behind him were two big men with knives.
Hearing Long Lingyun's voice, the man stretched out his hand to remove the black scarf covering his face, revealing his appearance, he was indeed over fifty years old.
The man got used to the light in the hall, and smiled at Long Lingyun, "Master Long, everyone, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly bumped his arched hands back, and as soon as he fell, he rushed to a seat near the door. On that seat was a big man, with two short spears beside the seat. .
When this man rushed out, there were two muffled groans behind him, and the two big men with knives were hit in the chest by his elbow, and they all flew upside down, a mouthful of blood splashed in the air, which was extremely eye-catching.
At this time, the old man had rushed to the big man's seat closest to the entrance of the hall, stretched out a big hand, and covered the big man's head at once, twisted it hard, and heard a "click", and the big man's head Then he spun around and turned the whole thing backwards.
The old man stretched out his hand to copy, and the two short spears were in his hand. With his left hand raised, the member Lin felt a gust of wind brush his cheek, which was burning and painful. When he looked back, Long Lingyun roared, and his whole body was shocked The short spear pierced through and was firmly nailed to the tiger leather seat.
Long Lingyun glared suddenly, and wanted to pounce, but he died immediately after being hit by this blow. At this time, the two big men with knives who were knocked into the air by the old man fell heavily to the ground. out of breath.
Member Lin was dazzled. Seeing that the old man threw the short spear with his left hand, he threw out the spear with his right hand, piercing a man's temple, and screamed loudly in fright.
At this time, the bandit leaders all came to their senses, roaring and jumping up one by one, they were about to pounce on them, but unexpectedly, many masked men rushed in from all directions. When they started, it was like cutting melons and vegetables. The leader of the thieves killed a splinter...
Ye Xiaotian frowned: "A swarm of bees..."
Of course he had heard of the famous name of Swarm of Bees, but he never thought that Swarm of Bees would attack Yilong's cottage. Judging from the narration of the forest member, it seemed that a dragon was about to cooperate with Swarm of Bees, why did Swarm of Bees suddenly attack Yilong
Ye Xiaotian thought about it for a while and couldn't understand what it meant, so he said to the forest staff: "What happened later?"
Member Lin said: "During the fierce battle, they even rang a big bell hanging in the corner of the Juyi hall, but no one came in from outside. It seems that the people outside have been killed by this group of more powerful bandits. The old man was so frightened that he stood there not daring to move. The strange thing is, they didn't kill me.
After they killed the leader of a dragon, a masked man in a black scarf suddenly ran in from outside, whispered a few words to a short, muscular masked man who was standing there with his hands behind his back, who had never made a move, and the man sneered , Said: "I didn't expect him to come here, but the old man underestimated him!" withdraw! '"
Lin Yuanwai imitated the tone of the man in the black scarf, and stopped abruptly at this point, Ye Xiaotian frowned, and said, "And then?"
Member Lin said in embarrassment: "There is no more, they threw the killed people back on the seats, and ran away with a whimper, just like when they ran in, they disappeared all of a sudden, like a swarm of bees." Yes. The old man didn’t understand what happened, so he stood there and didn’t dare to move, for fear that he would be hacked to death if he wandered around. He just stood there until... my lord, you brought someone here... "
