Yan Liqiang did not wait on the tree for long. After just a moment, lights lit up in the yard in front of him, and countless Shatu people began to shout.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the scene in the Shatu courtyard through the gaps in the lush leaves of the trees. Everything was the same as he had imagined. After just a moment, a Shatu man who looked to be in his fifties, dressed in clothes, with a strong physique and a big beard walked out of a room in the courtyard.
The Shatu man seemed to have just been woken up from his sleep. He roared, and all the Shatu people in the yard suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the fire in the warehouse in the distance, the expression of the Shatu man who came out changed drastically in an instant. After yelling in Shatu language for a while, the man didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He led a large group of Shatu people in the yard, carrying buckets and other fire-fighting equipment, and rushed towards the burning warehouse in the distance.
At this point, except for five or six Shatu people who were left to guard the entire yard, almost all the other Shatu people rushed to the warehouse.
The Shatu man who was in his fifties just now was the leader of the Shatu people in Pingxi City. His name was Ali Gujin. More than 99% of the Chinese in Pingxi City were unfamiliar with this name. Many Chinese even thought that the Shatu people gathered in Pingxi City had no leader, and that the Shatu people in the city were all from various caravans among the seven Shatu tribes and were not subordinate to each other. In fact, this was a big mistake.
Decades ago, when the Shatu people in Pingxi City were not as large as they are today, the Shatu people in the city were indeed like that. The Shatu people in the city came from various caravans of the seven Shatu tribes, and they were indeed not subordinate to each other. However, starting from more than ten years ago, the situation of the Shatu people in Pingxi City has undergone tremendous changes.
The Shatu people from the Uli tribe among the seven Shatu tribes have the greatest power and the largest number of people in Pingxi City. Finally, the Uli tribe among the seven Shatu tribes regards Pingxi City as their home ground. All Shatu people who come to Pingxi City are under the jurisdiction and command of the Uli tribe.
This was an agreement and compromise among the Shatu people. Outsiders had no way of knowing that Ali Gujin was a noble in the Uli tribe among the seven Shatu tribes.
The Shatu people are a very self-contained group in Pingxi City. It is impossible for the Chinese in the city to get involved in the Shatu people's life circle. In addition, the Shatu people deliberately keep their internal situation secret. Therefore, the general public in Pingxi City still has the understanding and impression of the Shatu people that they had more than a decade ago.
Ye Tiancheng, the prefect of Pingxi County, knew a little about the situation of the Shatu people in the city. That was because the wealthy Ye family in Ganzhou had many shady collaborations and businesses with the seven Shatu tribes. This Ali Gujin was the contact person between the seven Shatu tribes and Ye Tiancheng in Pingxi City.
If it weren't for his previous soul-wandering experience, in which he witnessed so many secrets in Pingxi City, Yan Liqiang would not have known about the things going on among the Shatu people.
As for the Ye family and Ye Tiancheng, Yan Liqiang finally understood a truth. The biggest threat to a country and a nation is not those enemies who are ferocious and blatant, but those corrupt officials and dirty wealthy families who are hiding inside the country, holding great power but selling out the interests of the country and the nation for their own selfishness. These corrupt officials and so-called wealthy families are the sores and cancer cells on a country. If they are not squeezed out and cut off, sooner or later, they will devour the vitality of a country and push countless civilians into the pit of fire from which there is no return.
…
After seeing Ali Gujin and a group of Shatu people rushing towards the warehouse and guessing that they had already reached the warehouse, Yan Liqiang finally moved. He slid down from under the tree like a civet cat, and then rushed across the street for dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, came to the wall of the courtyard, and suddenly climbed over the wall like a big bird.
While the man was still in the air, Yan Liqiang's hand had already touched his waist. As his body turned over, four darts flew out of his hand one after another. The four Shatu guards who were guarding the yard were hit in the throat by Yan Liqiang's darts without even a grunt, and fell to the ground.
Yan Liqiang did not stop for a moment and rushed into the inner house as fast as lightning.
After passing through a corridor, at the corner at the end of the corridor, twenty meters away, the voices and footsteps of two Shatu people were heard.
Yan Liqiang took out two more flying needles, waved his hand, and the two flying needles flew out from his hand. After flying twenty meters, at the corner, the two flying needles made a strange turn, and the voices of the two Shatu people disappeared instantly...
While throwing out the flying needles, Yan Liqiang continued to rush forward. When he passed the corner, two Shatu guards with stiff bodies fell straight forward. The two flying needles thrown by Yan Liqiang just hit the two men's chest and abdomen.
He quickly pulled out the two flying needles from the two men's bodies and put them away, then used the dagger to wipe the necks of the two Shatu people, and the two Shatu people were killed instantly.
Not far from the corridor, there was a room. Yan Liqiang rushed to the room, pushed the door open without thinking, and rushed into the room.
The outer room of the house is a reception area, while the inner room is a bedroom.
When Yan Liqiang walked in, a charming Shatu woman in a thin nightgown was sitting in front of the dressing table. When she heard the door open, she turned around and came face to face with Yan Liqiang...
Before the fear in the eyes of the Shatu woman could turn into a scream, Yan Liqiang stepped forward and slapped the woman on the neck. The woman fell in front of the dressing table and fainted.
Yan Liqiang came under the bed in the bedroom, reached out and touched under the bed, and finally touched a switch. He pressed it hard, and a secret compartment under the bed in the bedroom opened.
When the secret compartment was opened, there was a wooden box about two feet long and one foot wide. When the box was opened, it was filled with dazzling light.
The wooden box was filled with various jewels, gems, and thick stacks of silver bills. Yan Liqiang didn't even think twice before pouring all these things into the black bag he was carrying.
After packing these, Yan Liqiang knocked on the bottom layer of the wooden box, rummaged around in the box for a few times, and then pulled open a layer from the bottom of the box.
In the interlayer, there was a palm-sized black porcelain bottle sealed with wax, a book wrapped in silk cloth, two unknown objects as big as pigeon eggs, shiny and bright, and a metal cylinder more than half a foot long...
Yan Liqiang didn't know what these things were, but anything that could be hidden in the interlayer of the box must be more valuable than the jewelry and silver bills on it. Without thinking, he packed all these things into his backpack.
In less than two minutes, Yan Liqiang had cleared out all the contents of the secret box under the bed.
After taking a final glance at the room, Yan Liqiang quickly left the room with his things on his back. Half a minute later, Yan Liqiang had climbed over the wall of the mansion and appeared outside.
"Hurry..." A team of more than ten Shatu people holding various fire-fighting tools and lanterns just turned out from a street corner not far away, as if they were rushing to put out the fire. When Yan Liqiang climbed out from the courtyard wall, they happened to run into the team of Shatu people.
Hu Leng—in Shatu language, it means who
The answer to the Shatu man was the arrow shot by Yan Liqiang.
The flying arrow went through the Shatu man's mouth and came out from the back of his head, sending the Shatu man flying backwards.
The Shatu people nearby suddenly shouted, and several of them drew their scimitars and rushed towards Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang stood on the street, motionless, just drawing her bow and shooting arrows at the fastest speed, shooting about two to three arrows per second on average. Within five or six seconds, the entire team of Shatu people were shot to death by her on the street, and not a single one escaped. The horror of her archery skills was clearly revealed at this moment.
The movement on the street suddenly made the surroundings more noisy, but before more Shatu people appeared, Yan Liqiang's figure had already disappeared into the darkness, and like a black shadow, he rushed towards the Kowloon Bridge.
When he ran to the vicinity of Jiulong Bridge, Yan Liqiang could already hear the sound of rhinoceros horses running behind him. Some Shatu people had already reacted and were riding their horses, chasing after him like casting a net.
Yan Liqiang crossed the river and came to the east side of Jiulong Bridge. He climbed onto the roof of a house and waited quietly for a while. Then he saw a group of Shatu people riding rhinoceros horses chasing towards him.
“Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…”
In the darkness, the longbow in Yan Liqiang's hand was like a life-chasing talisman. Before the Shatu people could catch up to Jiulong Bridge on horseback, they were all shot down by Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang shot all the remaining twenty arrows in his quiver and killed more than twenty Shatu people before he dropped his longbow and quiver. He changed his voice and laughed loudly on the roof, shaking the four directions. "Shatu grandson, grandpa is here, come and chase me if you don't want to die, hahahaha..."
When the Shatu people behind heard this and looked at the pile of corpses in front of them, no one dared to rush across the Kowloon Bridge again.
After jumping off the roof, Yan Liqiang disappeared like a shadow into the deep alleys behind the Kowloon Bridge. In less than two minutes, he arrived near the small building where he rented. Seeing that no one was paying attention around, Yan Liqiang jumped over the wall and flipped into his own yard.
After going upstairs, closing the window, changing clothes, and taking off the mask on his face, Yan Liqiang almost couldn't help laughing...
After putting away the black bag in the room, Yan Liqiang fell on the bed...
Just now, he had heard the sound of soldiers in the city running towards Jiulong Bridge.
This time, it's getting lively...
