Lei Yue Longmen
Chapter 40 Mantis Catching Cicadas
At the same time, four masked men in black suddenly flew down from the high wall in the courtyard, and rushed into the house very quickly.Cen Zhu observed that these men wore tiger head buckles on their belts, and immediately understood their origins.
When Cen Zhu was still Hua Qing, he heard from Li Jingzhu that because of the repeated assassinations, the East Palace specially trained a group of dark guards to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It is said that this group of hidden guards are all masters of masters, and now that they have met, they know that the rumors are true.Four hidden guards plus a top expert Wu Tianji fought with Brother Gu Rentu and quickly gained the upper hand.
It was expected that Kong Lao San and Zhang Lao Si would lose to the hidden guards, but it was unexpected that Gu Rentu could barely draw with Wu Tianji, Cen Zhu thought to himself, it seems that he has never let go in the past ten years Practicing martial arts, I am afraid that she and her senior brother may not be able to match at this level now.
Wu Tianji couldn't help but wonder: "I can't tell, you are in your thirties at most, but unexpectedly your martial arts are so advanced. If I wasn't a few years older than you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your opponent today."
"It's a great honor for the junior to get the approval of the seniors."
The swords of the two collided, and both of them were numb.Wu Tianji took half a step back, and Gu Rentu took five or six steps back.Wu Tianji laughed, thinking that he was invincible, and shouted:
"Gu Rentu, you won't be able to escape today! Why don't you surrender quickly, or your life may be spared. If I use darts, you will surely die."
But he didn't know that Gu Rentu's strength was astonishing, he didn't know martial arts fashion and was able to hold his sister out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers with a single brute force, but now he retreated effortlessly, there must be a reason .
Sure enough, "Do you think you can hold me?"
Gu Rentu suddenly stood still and clapped his hands three times, only to hear the door slam open, and more than 20 reckless men holding torches and weapons rushed in, blocking the entrance and exit of the house.At the same time, shouts of bragging and mighty shouts sounded from outside the small courtyard, and the number of people was two or three times larger than that inside the courtyard, surrounding the small square courtyard.
"In this world, you are not the only ones who will set up an ambush in advance. Senior has been following my three brothers for quite a while, did you ever think that today will happen?"
Wu Tianji and others were all taken aback.Cen Zhu thought quickly, Gu Rentu chose this path unexpectedly, was it just to see his own sister?Judging from the meaning of his words, when he was tracking Li Jingbai, the middle-aged couple was obviously also tracking him. Did he choose to take a long way to confuse him?
What about Li Jingbei?Did she expect this? That's why she didn't show any resistance when she asked to pay her respects?In fact, she had planned in secret long ago, when Gu Rentu entered the small courtyard, she would come to catch a turtle in an urn?
Unexpectedly, Gu Rentu was extremely vigilant, and when they set up an ambush, he also secretly arranged it.This back and forth mental contest was so meticulous and dangerous, it turned out that she, Cen Zhu, was the most idiot.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Suddenly, there were three more applause in the hall.The four hidden guards followed the source of the sound and retreated to the middle-aged woman who was clapping her hands.Cen Zhu came back to his senses, and couldn't help secretly admiring the quality of these hidden guards. Even in such a dangerous moment, they still abided by the mission of their master's safety first, and did not retreat to Li Jingzhu's side, so as not to draw more attention to her. .
"It's a good trick, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind!"
The middle-aged woman sneered fearlessly in danger and said, "Gu Rentu, Gu has long seen that your ambitions are not small. These years, you hid in the dark to recruit soldiers, and even Pei Yan was deceived by you. It seems that you are I really want to go against it!"
Gu Rentu shuddered when he heard the words, and looked at the other party uncertainly.
"I don't know what your honor is—?"
Wu Tianji returned to his wife and stood still, holding his sword in contempt for everyone in the hall, as if he didn't pay attention to these little minions at all.
Cen Zhu did not miss the surprise in Gu Rentu's eyes.In this world, anyone who can claim to be lonely is either a king or a prince.And there are only a few women who can call themselves lonely.Combining her age, temperament, appearance, and her husband who was born in the Jianghu, Cen Zhu seemed to have guessed who she was.
"It doesn't matter who Gu is! Gu is just telling you that your death is coming soon!"
The woman sat down domineeringly on the chair brought by her husband, "Since ancient times, there has never been a successful rebellion by bandits? Does Master Gu want to be the first local emperor to try his own danger? It's so naive!"
Gu Rentu's eyes shrunk into a very dangerous slit, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's hook.
But the woman turned a blind eye and said sarcastically: "The Yurui court is not full of wimps like Pei Yan, who think that if you take away a few nests a year and let you live, you can keep your job for a long time. You can't hide it from me, you On the surface, they are falsely arguing with him, but they are secretly accumulating forces in the Qingyang, Lanyang, Fengyin, Moyin, and Fuyang areas, intending to rebel. The cunning rabbit has three caves, one cave is destroyed, and two caves remain. It’s just that he’s doing the same job, but you are slowly sucking blood and swelling like a leech!”
Cen Zhu was shocked. The place names she mentioned had suffered major natural disasters in the past 20 years. The people lived in extreme poverty and complained a lot to the court.It is indeed ambitious to win people's hearts and recruit troops in this kind of place.
Gu Rentu smiled, but he didn't seem to be smiling. His gaze was meaningfully sized up on her face, and his voice was long and drawn out: "You, me, who is the leech, there is no conclusion yet. I win, you are the leech, and I lose." Now, it's my turn to be a leech. Since ancient times, success and failure have been like this, and you can see that you have been in a high position for a long time, and you don't even understand this reason?"
"Sophistry, you alone deserve to win or lose?"
The corner of the woman's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile: "That's the end of the verbal dispute, I'm sorry I won't accompany you!"
Suddenly, several cold lights flew towards the lit red candle.With the sound of ding ding ding darts entering the pillar, the room was instantly pitch black.Zhang Ha | Toad yelled: "Stop the gate quickly, don't let them run away!" Then he fell to the ground with an "ahhh" and screamed loudly, suspected of being hit by a dart again.
Gu Rentu blocked a dart flying towards him with a blade, and killed the person who sent the dart.
In this flash of light, Cen Zhu heard a whisper in his ear: "There is a hole under the table, the wall behind it will fall down if you kick it, quickly take her away."
The next moment, there was a "bang" sound from a broken window, which startled everyone.It turned out that Wu Tianji rushed through the window and escorted the middle-aged woman to the yard. Four hidden guards also jumped out of the window one after another, guarding the woman and fighting with the bandits.
The sound of weapons clashing in the courtyard was loud, and although Wu Tianji's darts were extremely powerful, they were sometimes exhausted.Wu Tianji kept the last three darts for emergencies, turned around and kicked over the bonfire on the ground, sparks scattered all over the courtyard.
Cen Zhu knew that they purposely created such a big commotion in the courtyard to attract the attention of the enemy and buy time for Li Jingzhu to escape. It is the biggest fish in the net, rushing out the door to block it: "Want to run? It's not that easy!"
The middle-aged woman also had kung fu, and immediately fought Gu Rentu.However, after all, her strength was limited, and she soon fell into a disadvantage, and Gu Rentu grabbed a wrist.Seeing this, Wu Tianji turned back to fight with him, both sides were afraid of hurting the middle-aged woman, they dared not swing their swords, each grabbed the woman's hand, and fought with their legs, knees, fists and elbows.
Cen Zhu didn't dare to delay, he groped in the dark for the heaven and earth table where he paid his respects just now, lifted the tablecloth, pulled Li Jingzhu under the table, saw that there was indeed a half-person-high hole on the side next to the wall, he pushed Li Jingzhu out first, Then he whispered to Xiao Zhuang and Lao Chen to keep up.
After the middle-aged couple took off the human|skin mask, Xiao Zhuang and Lao Chen's minds were confused, and they didn't know who to help. Fortunately, Cen Zhu was still awake, and they just needed to obey orders.
Outside is a pile of firewood, and two steps ahead is a stone wall.According to what the middle-aged woman said, Cen Zhu kicked the wall vigorously, only to hear a series of "booming, booming" sounds, and the stone wall really fell backwards.Cen Zhu discovered that the stone wall had been torn down and rebuilt, and the middle-aged couple had already prepared for the worst.
As soon as the wall fell, the bandits in the yard and outside the wall heard the movement, so Cen Zhu hurriedly dragged Li Jingzhu out from the broken wall.Fortunately, most of the enemy's heavy forces are concentrated on dealing with the middle-aged couples in the front yard, and those guarding the back wall are all young people.
Cen Zhu pulled out his dagger from his sleeve, and while parrying a few young men who rushed forward, he looked at Xiao Zhuang behind him: "Xiao Zhuang, where is Lao Chen?"
"behind!"
Old Chen dropped one of his shoes, followed him pantingly, and said, "My lord, when I was crawling outside just now, someone grabbed my feet from behind. It must be those fierce thieves in the front yard. In desperation, I Take the hairpin that the lady dropped and stab him cruelly, piercing his wrist, and then he escaped. It is estimated that they will catch up soon."
Sweat broke out on Cen Zhu's forehead, and he immediately said, "Let's run separately! You and Xiao Zhuang head southeast, and Gu Qing and I run southwest." "Okay."
The four divided into two groups, and Cen Zhuo dragged Li Jingzhu to run quickly, and soon discovered a strange thing.Li Jingchen hadn't spoken for a long time.
She tentatively asked, "Are you tired?"
There was no answer, only the sound of wheezing and wheezing, with chattering teeth.
Cen Zhu suddenly realized something, stopped, supported her shoulder, and asked seriously: "How long has it been in pain?"
The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer, seeing that she was not going away, Li Jingchen weakly peeled off her hand and continued to run forward numbly.Cen Zhu grabbed her arm, lowered his body, "Come up quickly, I'll run with you on my back!"
She ignored it, shook off her hand, almost fell herself, and said staggeringly: "No, I... I... can walk!"
"Why are you so stubborn, you won't die if you let me recite it!" Cen Zhu was about to die of anger from her, hearing her rapid breathing, trembling body, he felt distressed and anxious at the same time.
"If you don't use it, you don't need it! Don't worry about it!" She still wanted to hit her hand.
"I'm your husband-in-law, I insist!"
Cen Zhu stopped talking to her, and roared, finally pinning her down.Pulling her arms aggressively, she forced her back up: "Hold her tightly, if it hurts, bite my shoulder, don't bite your own mouth!"
Li Jingchen has lost half of her strength and is struggling. The pain and grievance in her stomach are like an endless river. She could only be distracted when she was running at a high speed. Now that she slowed down, it flooded all her senses in an instant. .
Cen Zhu is very thin, his bones are like tree trunks, protruding and hard, it is inevitable that he will hit her while running.Feeling her limbs suddenly tightened due to the severe pain, her hands were grabbing her skirt fiercely, as if it was about to tear her heart apart.Cen Zhu's heart ached like it was about to burst, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.But I can still feel the cold tears falling into her neckline because of the discomfort.
"I hate you!"
She whimpered in pain from deep in her throat, like a knife stabbing her slowly.
Cen Zhu's eyes turned red, and he stopped walking, knowing that she couldn't stand any more bumps at this moment.She put him down very lightly, held back her nose, and hugged her tightly, "I know. You rest here for a while, I'll be right back, and I'll let you handle it when I get back, okay?"
After finishing speaking, he helped her sit down against the big tree, kissed her bitten lips, drew out the dagger in his hand, and faced the pursuers with no expression on his face.
