The state of China dare not say that it has been peaceful for a long time. After all, the Tatars were rampant on the northern border, but in this heartland in the south, although there were a small number of Japanese attacks, it was generally peaceful.

Therefore, the interception outside the Zhangzhou Prefecture City did shock the entire Zhangzhou Prefecture City, especially the Zhangzhou Prefecture Office.

If the bandits really break through the city gate and break into the city, not to mention whether the whole government office can save their lives under the swords of the bandits, just the emperor's anger and the officials who shirk responsibility in order to shirk responsibility will be enough to make the whole government office die, be demoted, or even be severe, they will not be able to enter the officialdom for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, even though he was uneasy, the prefect of Zhangzhou immediately gathered all the forces at hand and ordered the yamen runners to lead the city gate.

However, just like in the police and gangster movies, the police always come late. When they rushed to the city gate with fear and reluctance, they found that the place had already ended.

The injured assassins fell to the ground, gritted their teeth and persevered, wailed loudly, or looked at the last scenery of life in despair, waiting for the arrival of death.

The team holding a powerful crossbow and disguised as a defender was carrying a powerful crossbow and strictly monitoring the assassins' every move. Whenever they had any movement, they immediately shot a crossbow arrow.

The leader of the yamen runners couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw this scene.

It seems that they don't have to come forward to fight these desperate people.

"I dare to ask you all..."

However, he did not dare to have the idea of ​​robbing merit in his heart. He dared to use a powerful crossbow in broad daylight, and after seeing these officials, he did not hide or avoid them, how could it be a small yamen runner like them be provoked by them?

"East Factory."

Sure enough, the other party's answer the next moment confirmed his guess.

"It turns out that they are all the lords from the East Factory. He Liu, the head of the Zhangzhou Prefecture Office, came to help you all the lords at the order of the magistrate."

He Liu's expression became more humble and flattering, and he said very diligently.

"Well, you are here just right. Go forward and lock these assassins immediately, check the injuries, and send them to the hospital for treatment if they are seriously injured. If they are not able to do so, a knife will be added and sent to them on the road. The remaining ones with mild injuries will be stopped and bandaged, and taken back to the government jail."

The leader of Dongchang was not at all polite, and immediately spoke and ordered.

"yes."

Although He Liu was reluctant and even complained about why he said this more casually, he had already said that it was too late to regret it. He had to force a smile and nodded in response.

...

While He Liu and his men were dealing with the many wounded people who fell to the ground, Li Wujiu was still chasing the assassin leader who disguised himself as his own and almost successfully attacked him, leaving him with his head and head apart.

Although other Dongchang actors were still far away from him, he was not worried that he would be killed by the other party. In his heart, he wanted the other party to turn around and fight him because of his annoyance or resentment.

He was unable to do anything about the other party's sneak attack before, but now he has the upper hand, so he naturally won't be afraid of the other party.

But the other party was obviously an experienced assassin. He knew that if he was entangled by Li Wujiu at this time, he would inevitably be surrounded, and then be surrounded and killed, or even captured alive. So even if he hated him so much that he had no idea of ​​slowing down, he urged his feet with all his strength and ran towards the green hill not far away.

Seeing that the small hill in front of him was getting closer and closer, Li Wujiu became more and more anxious.

He knew in his heart that if the other party really ran into the hill and with the cover of many plants and trees, it would not be so easy for him to continue tracking the other party.

And if he chases in alone, he may be attacked by the other party.

But he is not a god or ghost after all. No matter how anxious he is, he cannot make his own speed faster. He can only watch the other person's figure run into the dense forest and disappear between the dense forests.

"Bang!"

But just as Li Wujiu was extremely anxious and disappointed, he could only slow down and watched the big fish in front of him dive into the deep pool and could no longer find any trace, he suddenly saw the other person's figure that was originally rushing towards the dense forest, as if a large net was suddenly taken out of the water and flew backwards from the edge of the dense forest.

At first, Li Wujiu was stunned, and then ecstatic Li Wujiu couldn't help but speed up again and ran towards the figure flying backwards with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, after taking two steps, he finally saw the figure hidden by the assassin leader, and finally understood why the other party flew backwards.

Hu Xiaolin.

A name that Li Wujiu had never expected appeared in front of the assassin leader at some point. When the other party was relaxed because he was about to enter the dense forest, he suddenly appeared and slapped him back with a palm.

At this time, Li Wujiu finally thought of the well-trained team at the city gate, which was equipped with strong crossbows and was finally reminded of something wrong.

Although the Dongchang does have the power to use powerful crossbows, because they basically perform various spy or arrest tasks, the use of powerful crossbows is still a training program for the Dongchang, but most of them only let them know how to use and aim. Similar to the previous command command outside the city gate, the neat way of using the Eastchang is not like the style of the Dongchang, but more like the method of using crossbow archers in the army.

Because he was anxious to pursue the assassin leader, the suspicion in his heart flashed away. Now that he saw Hu Xiaolin and the assassin leader who fell to the ground with a palm, he seemed to be unable to escape his palm, this question finally appeared in his mind again. Of course, the answer also appeared in his mind.

The team was not from Dongchang at all, but the big inner guard under Hu Xiaolin.

Although there is basically only one empty shell left, the avant-garde of the Mansion Army is ultimately the avant-garde of the Mansion Army.

Li Wujiu, who was feeling in his heart, rushed to the assassin leader who was still lying on the ground without stopping.

However, when he saw the other person's eyes closed and blood was still left at the corner of his mouth, Li Wujiu's heart couldn't help but become nervous again, and he quickly prepared to lean over and test the other person's breath with his fingers.

"careful!"

But before he could fully lean over, Hu Xiaolin's loud warning exploded in his ears.

Li Wujiu was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He immediately continued to bend down, making his body stretch out like a tense spring, exerting force on his waist and abdomen, and then jumped backwards.

However, even though he had immediately made the most reasonable dodging action after hearing Hu Xiaolin's warning, he was still one step slower.

As soon as it looked, it made people feel cold all over the body. I could only see the sharp needle flying needle heading straight to his chest and abdomen and shooting from his neck.

In a hurry, Li Wujiu, who had already jumped in mid-air and could not exert force any more, could only try his best to protect the vital points with his arms.

"snort!"

The next moment, when his feet finally stepped onto the solid land again, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan with pain.

Even though he had already covered it with his open hands and arms, many flying needles still shot into his chest from the gap. As for his hands and arms that he used to block the flying needles, they became like a porcupine's body.

The assassin leader, who had his eyes closed and fell to the ground before, seemed to have been hit by Hu Xiaolin's palm, immediately jumped up and killed Li Wujiu, who had hit his hidden weapon.

Take his life while he is sick!

He has a rich experience in fighting in the martial arts world and knows in his heart that his only way to live at this time is to take advantage of Li Wujiu's unstable foothold and the hidden weapon in his body, and within a few moves, he grabbed Li Wujiu before Hu Xiaolin approached, and then used Li Wujiu's life to threaten Hu Xiaolin, crossing the last ten steps of life and death path from the dense forest, and then escaped from the sky with the cover of the dense forest.

Seeing his actions, Li Wujiu and Hu Xiaolin could not guess what he was thinking.

Hu Xiaolin immediately shouted angrily, trying to stop him with his voice for a moment, and to buy as much time as possible for himself and Li Wujiu. At the same time, all the force under his feet was pouring out, and his whole body ejected out, instantly taking nearly three steps away, and also rushing towards Li Wujiu.

As the target, Li Wujiu knew in his heart that his arms and hands were already filled with hidden weapon ox hair needles, he was unable to fight with the other party at all. If he forced himself to come forward, he would only increase the other party's chances of capturing him alive. Therefore, when he noticed that the other party had made some moves, he immediately gritted his teeth and jumped backward regardless of the pain in his arms and chest.

What he needs to do now is to buy time for Hu Xiaolin's arrival.

Not long, it only takes three or five breaths.

But the three or five breaths seemed to be longer than a quarter of an hour or even an hour!

The next moment, when Li Wujiu suddenly felt his brain began to become drowsy and his body became weak, time couldn't help but slow down in his eyes.

Poisoned!

Li Wujiu's face became worse and worse.

Indeed, for a tiny hidden weapon like the Niu Mao Needle, it is very normal to poison it to increase its lethality.

Moreover, for assassins, isn’t poison the most normal behavior?

‘I’m still careless!’

Li Wujiu felt his strength was losing rapidly, and he felt regretful, but after seeing the assassin leader who was shooting directly with surprise, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed through his heart.

"Brother Hu, don't care about my life and death, you must capture him."

Li Wujiu, who felt that his body was almost unable to lift the last little strength, shouted at Hu Xiaolin who was rushing towards him with the last little strength.

The other party's poison was so fierce that even if the other party finally held him hostage and fled into the dense forest and released him, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive until he could return to the city and let the doctor remove the poison for him.

‘Then you can exchange your life for your life!’

Li Wujiu, who was ruthless in his heart, made his last voice.

After using all his last little strength, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his body slowly fell to the ground and could not move.

Hu Xiaolin did not answer. At this moment, his chest filled his whole body with breath. If he spoke, his breath would be discharged and his speed would slow down.

Besides, if you want to save Li Wujiu in time, you must rely on the speed of your feet. It is impossible to save him by your mouth.

Hu Xiaolin rushed forward at full speed. Although the assassin leader was anxious, he just got a palm without any defense. He was injured slightly, but he was unable to activate his internal strength with all his strength, so he could not raise the highest speed, so that he was halfway closer to Li Wujiu than Hu Xiaolin.

This scene made him feel more anxious.

It's approaching, it's approaching!

Finally, after three breaths, Li Wujiu was already in front of him, and his breathing became rapid.

Although he is a dead soldier, if he is likely to die and escape, who would have deliberately sought death?

It was approaching again, and his hand seemed to have already pinched Li Wujiu's neck, lifted it up, and threatened Hu Xiaolin behind him with his life.

Although Li Wujiu shouted something before, he did not believe that Hu Xiaolin really dared to ignore Li Wujiu's life.

He had already received the exact news. Li Wujiu in front of him was the confidant of Lu Zhongxing, the eunuch of Yingtian, and Lu Zhongxing. Not to mention in Zhangzhou Prefecture, even in the entire Fujian Provincial Administration, I am afraid that no one dared to offend Lu Zhongxing at the risk of offending Lu Zhongxing to exchange for the result of his capture.

It was another breathing time, and finally, he felt that his hands could feel the temperature on Li Wujiu's neck and the tremor of the beating blood vessels.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard the huge sound of breaking through the air whistling behind him, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

He didn't expect Hu Xiaolin to come so quickly.

But his reaction was not slow at all.

He rolled and his body suddenly rolled forward, but before he got out, his hand grabbed Li Wujiu's front tightly. After stopping his rolling forward, his hand immediately exerted force, trying to pull Li Wujiu's body in front of him.

He knew in his heart that although Hu Xiaolin could arrive so quickly, the breath in his chest would inevitably be discharged after this blow, and he would inevitably have a brief stagnation to relieve this breath, and this stagnation was his last and best opportunity.

But when he found that the right hand that was pulling Li Wujiu's front plaque suddenly moved, and Li Wujiu's body was not moving at all, he realized that the situation seemed much worse than he thought.

Hu Xiaolin behind him had guessed his movements in advance and had already pressed Li Wujiu's feet in advance. This is also the reason why he could not pull Li Wujiu's body in front of him.

"Let go!"

Just when he was still surprised by Hu Xiaolin's long breath, Hu Xiaolin heard a loud shout and felt a huge force on his right hand.

Hastewardly and without any warning, the right hand that was originally holding Li Wujiu's front had already escaped.

Li Wujiu is temporarily safe, but he seems to be in a place of death.

‘Since that’s the case, let’s die together!’
Chapter completed!
