The angrier he was, the calmer Yan Liqiang became.
After thinking carefully, he did not rush in immediately, but retreated from the window of the room over there, looked at the surrounding environment, and ran towards the front of the yard.
There were lights on in two rooms in the yard. Yan Liqiang took a look and found that there was basically no one in the two rooms. One of the rooms seemed to be where the two guys slept, while the other room was a garment workshop.
In the room that served as a garment workshop, various clothes were hung, as well as various cut fabrics. The shopkeeper just walked out of this room.
Yan Liqiang decided to go all out. He went straight into the room, picked up the candle in the room, lit a few hanging skirts and robes, and threw the candle into the pile of cloth. He then rushed out of the room, quickly touched the outside of the room, guarded the door, and then pulled out the dog-leg knife he carried with him.
Because he was worried about the revenge of the Shatu people, Yan Liqiang carried a weapon with him every time he came to the Governor's Mansion these days to be prepared. This dog-leg knife was not very long, so after putting it in a cowhide scabbard, Yan Liqiang hung it on his belt. The scabbard was tightly attached to the outside of his thigh, and it was basically invisible unless his clothes were completely lifted up.
Yan Liqiang, holding the dog leg, slowed down his breathing and waited calmly.
The door of the house was locked from the inside. Breaking the door or window would make too much noise, and he didn't know the strength of the shopkeeper, so the best way was to lure the shopkeeper out and kill him. The fire was also to notify the people around that there was a problem here. The more people gathered here, the safer he would be, and the secrets of some people here would be more easily exposed.
The room not far away was filled with flammable clothes and fabrics, so within less than two minutes, the fire in that room got bigger.
The fire from the room outside came into that room through the window. The shopkeeper in the room really felt something was wrong outside. He hurried to the door, opened it, and stuck his head out to check the situation outside like a guilty thief.
Unfortunately, what was waiting for the shopkeeper was Yan Liqiang's lackey.
The laws of the Han Empire also stipulated that those who kidnapped and sold other people's children were guilty of the same crime as robbers, and anyone could kill them without guilt. Yan Liqiang would show no mercy to these evil spirits and beasts who colluded with foreigners to kill innocent Chinese women.
The sharp dog leg chopped off the shopkeeper's neck. The shopkeeper didn't even make a sound. His head fell off and he fell to the ground. Blood gushed out from his broken neck and spurted onto the ground.
When seeing chickens and pigs being slaughtered in the market, Yan Liqiang might feel a little sympathy for the pigs and chickens being slaughtered, but he did not have the slightest sympathy for these people.
Ever since the last massacre of the Hong family, Yan Liqiang discovered that there was a dark and violent side in his heart. He chopped off a man's head with his own hands, and he was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently, stepped over the corpse, opened the door, and walked into the room.
Just as I arrived outside the tunnel entrance of the room, the footsteps of the two guys came from below.
Yan Liqiang did not rush down, but turned around and waited at the position behind the tunnel entrance close to the ground. When the two people below came up, the back of their heads were facing this side.
After a while, footsteps approached and the two guys came out from downstairs.
When the second person's body completely walked out from the ground, the person walking in front had already seen the open door of the room and the body of the shopkeeper lying at the door.
But Yan Liqiang did not give the two of them time to react. Yan Liqiang pounced on them from behind and with just one knife, he stabbed the guy behind him in the back. Before the first guy turned around, Yan Liqiang pounced on him like a leopard and slashed the guy's neck with his knife.
As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a gun but hard to guard against an arrow. In a situation where one side intended to launch a sneak attack while the other was careless, Yan Liqiang did not give the two guys a chance to display their skills, even if they had some kung fu. In the blink of an eye, the two guys fell at the entrance of the tunnel.
Three people were killed in the blink of an eye. The dog leg in Yan Liqiang's hand was already covered with blood, but Yan Liqiang's hand holding the dog leg did not move at all, as hard as a rock.
After wiping his hands on the clothes of the guy lying on the ground, Yan Liqiang went down the stairs and into the tunnel without hesitation.
The tunnel went more than five meters deep into the ground. Both sides of the tunnel were made of stone bricks and were built very neatly. The tunnel was more than one meter wide and two meters high. On the walls on both sides of the tunnel, there was an oil lamp hung every seven or eight meters.
There is only one road in the entire tunnel, which is quite deep. There is a turn about 200 meters ahead as far as the eye can see, and no one knows where it leads to.
Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth and ran straight to the end of the tunnel. After walking more than 200 meters, he came to the turning point in the tunnel. Just more than ten meters ahead, Yan Liqiang saw an iron gate that had just been closed.
An idea flashed through his mind instantly, and without thinking, Yan Liqiang knocked hard on the outside of the iron gate a few times with his hands.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say there were only two chicks? They have both been delivered. Is there a third one?" An impatient voice came from inside the iron gate. With this voice, the iron gate that had just been closed suddenly opened again.
A man in his thirties, with a lazy look and dressed in black, looked at Yan Liqiang's strange and murderous face in astonishment.
Before the man could reach out to touch the long sword hanging on his waist, Yan Liqiang's lackey had already stabbed directly into the man's chest.
Yan Liqiang covered the man's mouth with one hand to prevent him from making any sound, and pushed the man back towards the door.
The man's eyes widened instantly, one hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and the other hand tightly grasped Yan Liqiang's wrist, as if trying to push away Yan Liqiang's hand covering his mouth...
Yan Liqiang stared at him intently, and pulled out the dog leg that had stabbed his chest, and then stabbed it in again. Almost every time the man took a step back, Yan Liqiang's dog leg would go in and out between his chest and lower abdomen.
The man took five steps back, and the long sword at his waist was only pulled out less than a foot. Blood gushed out of his mouth, and Yan Liqiang's hands were covered with it. He gradually became weaker when he was holding Yan Liqiang's wrist, and his eyes that were staring at Yan Liqiang slowly lost their luster. Finally, he fell to the ground, half of his body was soaked by the blood gushing out from his chest and abdomen...
