Xianyang Bridge

Chapter 5

Can admit it.

"Okay, since Mr. Qi insists on taking care of it, the lower officials can't provoke the four famous arresters, but if Shangfeng asks about it in the future, the lower officials will have to report it truthfully." Guo Jing said harsh words to Qi Shaoshang, and followed The spies beside him secretly winked.

Qi Shaoshang said casually, "Although Mr. Guo tells the truth, he also told his colleagues not to touch Qi's creditor, or I will be unhappy."

"Heh, good!" Guo Jing flicked his sleeves and shouted, "Let's go!" He glanced at the crossbowman on the wall with a stern look, and nodded, not wanting to let everyone in the courtyard go.

As the machine sounded, Lei Yun, who had been playing with the rattle beside Qi Shaoshang, suddenly moved, raised his hand and threw the rattle in his hand, hitting the gun that was shooting at the shopkeeper, and then grabbed Qi Shaoshang The teacup in hand smashed another stick, then jumped up and kicked one stick away, and when the remaining two sticks were about to hit the mother and child, they were able to catch them back with their hands.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lei Yun stood firmly in front of the guys in the store, blocking the surrounding spies, none of the five branches were hurt, Guo Jing's face changed, and the young man flipped his wrist Flicking two arrows at his feet, he shouted softly, "Get lost!"

From the beginning to the end, Qi Shaoshang didn't move, Guo Jing was chilled by his eyes, he didn't dare to make any small moves, and withdrew from Jinxiu Workshop with his men.

As soon as Tiqi left, Qi Shaoshang and Lei Yun immediately let go of everyone in the yard, carried the father and son into the room, explained their identity and purpose to them, and asked the uninjured man to take Lei Yun to invite the doctor.Although the shopkeeper's leg was broken, he was stubborn. Qi Shaoshang wanted to give him a bone first, but he said, "Thank you, Qi Daxia, for your help. If Qi Daxia is here today, I can handle the rest of the villain's affairs by myself." , the villain dared to ask Qi Daxia for another favor."

Qi Shaoshang was already prepared, and it was rare for that person from Qingyuan to speak once, and it would never be so simple to settle the matter, so he said, "Sir, just say it."

The shopkeeper endured the pain and said to Qi Shaoshang, "What happened today is all because of me. When I was young, I had a friend who was a member of Mingjiao. His whole family was killed by Tiqi three months ago, and only two escaped." Son, last month his subordinates sent the children to me with all their might, and said they would stay here for a while, and when the limelight passed, they asked me to send the two children to the Li family in Shanyang Town, where they would arrange Take the kids away."

"I took in the two children to live with my old friendship, and I have been trembling for a month, not daring to be careless in the slightest."

"Three days later is the appointed day. I thought I would go to send the two children there by myself, but somehow I leaked the news and provoked Tiqi. Fortunately, I sent the children out of the city in advance and was not searched by Tiqi. Come out, but I can't go to Shanyang Town, I wonder if Qi Daxia can send them there? It can be regarded as the loyalty of our friends."

Qi Shaoshang thought for a while. He received help from the owner of Qingyuan half a month ago. It seems that the shopkeeper did not hide the child's matter from his owner. His owner is also a smart person, so he found him in advance With his own helping hand, I am afraid that he will go through this trip to Shanyang Town no matter whether Tiqi comes or not today.

After asking the shopkeeper where the two children were hiding, they asked for two horses and borrowed 100 taels of silver. Qi Shaoshang and Lei Yun rushed to Shanyang without stopping.

五

Shanyang Town was close to the capital, and it was the spring equinox when Qi Shaoshang and Lei Yun arrived with their two children.

On this day, the yin and yang phases are half, the day and night are even, the cold and heat are flat, a few apricot blossoms outside the town are in bloom, and it is raining again from the sky.

They abandoned their horses outside the town and waited until dark before entering the town. Lei Yun carried his brother on his back, and Qi Shaoshang hugged his sister.The two children are six years old and four years old. The older sister is Lin Qing, and the younger brother is Lin Qian. They may have undergone major changes at a young age. Both siblings are very well-behaved. Qi Shaoshang told them to keep quiet. He kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

According to what the shopkeeper said, the Li family they were looking for was in the southeast of the town, the second house in the third horizontal alley, and there was a jujube tree outside the door.

Taking advantage of the night and the sound of rain to cover up their voices, they sneaked into the town unknowingly, but stopped at the entrance of the third horizontal alley.

The burnt smell was not far away in the rain, the burned houses no longer emitted smoke, the jujube tree as a mark was burnt black, and the whole alley was as silent as a dead place.

"Brother..." Lei Yun said softly.

Qi Shaoshang helped Lin Qing pull the oilcloth covering his body from the rain, and said in a low voice, "Go in and have a look, maybe there are some clues."

The half-closed courtyard door had been burnt and rotted, and it fell to the ground with a slight push. The two entered the courtyard with the child in their arms. Lei Yun let out a low cry, "Ah!"

He and Qi Shaoshang had good eyesight, and through the twilight of the night rain, they saw a few corpses piled up in the middle of the courtyard. They were incompletely burned and soaked in rain, and their appearance was horrifying.

Qi Shaoshang raised his hand to cover Lin Qing's eyes and said, "We are late."

"What should we do now?" Lei Yun pressed Lin Qian's head down behind him, and asked Qi Shao business.

Qi Shaoshang raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly found that the town was unusually quiet, he didn't even hear a dog barking, and said to Lei Yun, "This is not right, let's go first."

Just as the two turned around, torches suddenly lit up a mile away from them, and the sound of light or heavy footsteps quickly surrounded them.Someone raised his voice in the darkness, "Master Qi only wants to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"

Lei Yun turned around and turned his back to Qi Shaoshang, hid Lin Qian behind him, and said, "Brother, there is an ambush among us."

I don't know how long these people have been in ambush here. In order not to disturb them, they hid far away. Coupled with the rain, Qi Shaoshang stepped into the trap unknowingly.

"May I ask who is Tiqi outside?" Qi Shaoshang asked aloud, looking at the gunmen who appeared on the surrounding high walls and roofs.

The crossbowmen surrounding them were densely packed. No matter how good he and Lei Yun were, they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't hurt the two children. Qi Shaoshang whispered to Lin Qing, "Don't be afraid."

The little girl buried her head in front of him, trembling a little, but said to Qi Shao, "I'm not afraid."

Qi Shaoshang patted her head, and looked for their leaders among the men in black around him again, and said slowly, "Your Excellency has laid such a net, and you dare not even show your face?"

Lei Yun pulled out the knife from his waist and said to him, "Brother, let's rush out!"

In the rain, Tiqi's torches were clearly extinguished, and they kept shaking, and his figures also fluctuated with the flames. He said again, "Your Excellency, if you don't make a sound, our brothers will have to leave."

The man outside the wall finally said, "Lord Qi, please go ahead, I know that Lord Qi is as good as he is, and he will never go back on his word if he promises to others, and he doesn't expect to be able to persuade Lord Qi to keep these two demon cult brats. Risk the lives of the brothers and keep Lord Qi together, if you can't keep him, you will be incompetent as a lower official, and you can't blame others, Lord Qi just go ahead."

"So it's Mr. Mo, the hidden head ghost." Qi Shaoshang heard his voice, secretly clenched Ni Shuihan, and said to Lei Yun, "After three breaths, you go to the left."

"Understood." Lei Yun swallowed his saliva, his eyes turned to the left, the jujube tree outside the door blocked it, and it was the weakest place around him.

Two breaths later, Qi Shaoshang was ready to go, when suddenly someone in the dark yelled softly, "Drive!"

Qi Shaoshang immediately stopped and grabbed Lei Yun who was running to the left, and the two of them hid in the abandoned house behind, when the dull sound of carriages came from the long street outside, and the horses on the wall shouted and asked Said, "Who?!"

"The person you are looking for!" The young driver said coldly, driving the horse with a whip in his hand, and rushed towards the burned yard.

"Shoot the arrow!" Mo Lin, the hidden head ghost behind the wall who had been refusing to show his head, ordered, and the gunman at the top immediately turned around and fired at the carriage.

Countless arrows shot like locusts, the young boy Xiao Qi retracted into the car at a moment's notice, pressed the handle, an iron plate bounced out of the car, blocking the arrows outside, the shot was extremely powerful, just like a carriage When the upper iron plate collides, sparks are splashed from the starting point.

After the rain of arrows passed, one of the two horses was dead, the other galloped forward in pain, and rushed into the yard at once. The body of the car was extremely heavy, and in a turn, it hit the surrounding courtyard walls that had been burned by the fire. With a loud bang, the entire wall in the middle east and half of the house collapsed immediately, and the gunmen on it who had no time to retreat fell down one after another.

"Get on the roof!" The people in the car said to Xiao Qi, the boy let go of the reins and jumped up, and the out-of-control carriage hit the west courtyard wall again.

Qi Shaoshang saw that the surroundings were in chaos in the house, so he put Lin Qing down and handed it to Lei Yundao, "Take care of the child, don't come out."

As he spoke, he jumped out of the window with Nishuihan in his hand, and also went up to the roof.

When the carriage was about to hit the west wall, the people inside finally came out, and while Qi Shaoshang was on the roof helping Xiao Qi defend against the gunshots from outside the wall, he glanced at the man in a hurry.

In the dim light of the flames, the man was dressed in black, with a black belt covering his eyes, his figure was as fast as lightning, and he only turned around, and all the hands around him fell to the ground with their necks covered, and between their fingers, they fell to the ground. It was blood gushing out.

His weeping ax can still be used in this way.

Qi Shaoshang looked at his exceptionally curly hair in the night rain, and said silently in his heart, it really is you.

The formation was dispersed by the sudden intrusion of the carriage, and the ambush set by Mo Lin was useless. He was nicknamed the Hidden Ghost, which means that this person is timid and afraid of death. He hides his head and shows his tail. faster than anyone else.

The spies around had no command and fled, and the surrounded yard suddenly became empty, and the seriously injured horse soon died, dragging
