Chapter 11 Anticlimactic Assassination(1/2)
"Don't chase, escape first."
When Xie Laosan saw the figure of "Yicheng" jumping out of the window, he immediately wanted to chase him out. However, just as he arrived by the window, Xinyuehu called him in time.
"They are about to turn this place into a sea of fire."
As if worried that Xie Laosan was stubborn, Xinyuehu immediately added another sentence.
It was this sentence that made Xie Laosan turn around and treat his clothes as a bag, wrap all the items, and run out of the station with the figure of Xinyuehu.
Although he had always been very dissatisfied with obeying Xinyuehu's orders and had a head-on conflict with him the night before and almost cut Xinyuehu with a knife, he knew very well that it would be better to obey Xinyuehu's orders at the moment.
After all, Xinyuehu, who came from Tianyan Sect, must be more familiar with the attack routines of Tianyan Sect than him. Moreover, the sneak attack just happened to prove the authenticity of the warning given by Xinyuehu last night.
However, even though Xin Yuehu and Xie Laosan were already moving very quickly, when they gathered the other detectives, the outside was already lit up by the fire, and there were even beating flames everywhere.
They are still a little slow.
"Be prepared, we can only break out directly through the back door now."
Seeing this scene, Xinyuehu showed an extremely firm expression in his eyes and said to Xie Laosan and other detectives.
When Xie Laosan and others heard this, they immediately understood that the enemy must have ambushed a large number of people at the front and back doors where they could rush out. It was inevitable that a fierce battle would be inevitable.
The constables did not speak, but their expressions showed the solemnity in their hearts.
"Don't worry too much. The other constables should have arrived. After seeing the movement here, they should have arrived soon."
Xinyuehu was worried that they might be crushed by the pressure of being defeated by the masses, so she had to add another sentence, but there was only one sentence. She could not explain the reasons to them in detail in such a critical situation.
"rush!"
Accompanied by a suppressed low growl, Xinyuehu opened the closed back door.
However, although she opened the back door, she did not break out of it. Instead, she jumped over the courtyard wall that was only one person high. Behind her, ten constables, including Xie Laosan, also jumped over the wall under her gesture.
But their approach to attacking the world did not work at all.
Because there is no one outside the wall.
"careful!"
But when Xinyuehu and Xie Laosan saw this scene, they were alarmed in their hearts and immediately shouted loudly at the others at about the same time.
Unfortunately, it's still a bit too late.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Before they could land, there were sounds of breaking through the air in their ears.
It's a bow and arrow.
The pupils of eleven people couldn't help but magnify, as if they wanted to find the sharp arrow shot in the darkness.
But facing the station that had turned into a sea of fire, their efforts obviously did not work at all.
"ah!"
"snort!"
"call!"
...
Some screams, some humming, or using a knife to block the force of sharp arrows and then spit out turbid air with the arrow shot into the body, blocked by metal, and the sound of shooting into the land alternately, and combined with the background sounds of the flames burning, it was like a symphony.
"Protect her and withdraw!"
Although Xie Laosan blocked the two arrows shot at him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and widen his eyes when he looked at the miserable appearance of four of his subordinates being shot.
But he knew very well that it was not the time to be angry or sad, and he immediately ordered the remaining five men who were still intact.
The remaining five constables also understood that the most important thing at the moment was to protect the safety of Xinyuehu. For this reason, even the injured companions did not care about treatment.
However, for those constables who were shot but were not in danger of their lives for the time being, it is actually the safest to stay where they are.
After all, I know that the primary target of Tianyan Sect must be to silence the traitor Xinyuehu, and the main target of the next attack will obviously be Xinyuehu, not them.
But then, the situation is far from it.
Because the second round of arrows they expected did not appear. On the contrary, accompanied by a slightly noisy sound, the killers of the Tianyan Sect seemed to be evacuating rapidly.
A tiger's first and last?
Even Xinyuehu couldn't figure out what the situation was right now.
According to her guess, shouldn’t these former classmates ignore life and death, even if they exchange their lives for their lives, they will take her life away?
Why did he evacuate without any delay after only one round of arrows? It was like a middle-aged man caught by his wife in routine?
Just as everyone, including the wounded lying on the ground, was confused, another wave of sounds became more complicated, and the more rapid footsteps were from far to near, which shocked many people and their expressions became nervous.
But after hearing the footsteps, Xinyuehu and Xie Laosan were relieved.
The six gate detectives who should have cooperated with them inside and outside and caught all the pursuits of Tianyan Sect in one go have finally arrived.
...
As the headmaster of the Six Gates, Li Wensong, Wang Erhe, Qian Feng and Zheng Pian were on the same level as Xie Laosan. The four of them were also at the same level when they were drawing lots before. Like Xie Laosan, the four of them did not draw the lottery for Hongdu Mansion, so they could only look at Zeng Hui and Ma Zhixing with some envy and jealousy and continued to go straight to Hongdu Mansion after leaving Taiping Mansion with them. However, they could only take their respective subordinates and Zeng Hui. A total of fifty subordinates of Ma Zhixing and others were broken into pieces and rushed back quietly.
However, life is always full of joy, and they did not expect that they would get good news just now when they rushed back.
Chief Constable Hou Qing and Xin Yuehu made a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and they needed to speed up and help.
Although they were a little dissatisfied with Hou Qing's distrust of them, they quickly suppressed this dissatisfaction and accelerated to the agreed place.
After all, they will not dislike such a thing as credit.
Because they accelerated their way back, they actually arrived half a day earlier than Xie Laosan and his party. According to Hou Qing's instructions, they handed the token to the postmaster of the post station and told the other party that they would hand it over to the other party after seeing a group of constables wearing six doors' official uniforms arrived.
There was no problem with this plan at all, but unfortunately, Li Wensong and the other two were still slow.
Because when they arrived and handed over the token to the postmaster of the postmaster, the entire postmaster had already been controlled by the killers of Tianyan Sect, and the postmasters and postmasters in the postmasters were naturally replaced.
Hua Linlang's disguise technique undoubtedly played an extremely important role in it.
Fortunately, the killers of Tianyan Sect remember that their only purpose this time was to kill the traitor Xinyuehu, so they were unwilling to cause trouble, and even more unwilling to alarm the snake. Otherwise, they were afraid that Li Wensong, who came to hand over the token, might be buried in the hands of these Tianyan Sect killers.
However, although Li Wensong failed to see through the Tianyan Sect's plan to replace the pillar and foolishly handed over the token to the other party, Li Wensong's appearance still played a significant role.
First of all, the killers of Tianyan Sect, who originally thought that this mission was almost certain to win, realized that the situation had deviated from their expectations.
It also proves that what they heard in the temporary camp before that the speculation that the appearance of the Heart Moon Fox this time was just a bait was indeed true.
Secondly, because of Li Wensong, a group of Liusanmen constables who are far stronger than Tianyanmen killers, and they are still staring at the station not far away, the assassination plan they originally set is obviously impossible to implement. They must change the plan immediately to make it more concealed and sudden. It is best if they kill Xinyuehu, even the constables such as Xie Laosan who were traveling with him could not notice it.
Then leave quietly without leaving any trace.
But they did not expect that just half a day later, Xinyuehu and his group arrived. In less than half a day, their plans were impossible to improve.
In the idea, the safest way is naturally to poison the food.
But in a hurry, the poison they can get is obviously the most commonly used.
But what made them feel that Xinyuehu was extremely familiar with these poisons. There were many poisons, and they were even prepared by Xinyuehu. They could not hide from Xinyuehu, who was extremely familiar with these poisons.
So the poisoning plan was abandoned.
The second plan was naturally to take action when Xie Laosan and others fell asleep, but at this time the pressure brought by Li Wensong was once again reflected.
They couldn't guess what the token Li Wenhe gave them meant. What if Xie Laosan took people away after seeing the token? For this reason, they naturally did not dare to hand over the token to Xie Laosan.
But if Li Wensong did not hand over the token to Xie Laosan, would he come directly to ask about the situation if Xie Laosan was not there for a long time?
So they were in a dilemma.
He was worried that if he handed over the token to Xie Laosan, he would lead Xie Laosan to take his people away, and the plan to take action in the second half of the night was completely ruined.
He was also worried that not handing over the token to Xie Laosan would destroy Li Wensong's original plan, which would make Li Wensong come to inquire about the situation, and then expose his identity, making the situation worse.
In the end, out of safe reasons, they had to give up the idea of handing over the token to Xie Laosan. Of course, the plan to take advantage of Xie Laosan and others' sleeping well in the second half of the night was also given up.
The two most secure plans were abandoned one after another. Moreover, as time passed by little, the night became deeper and deeper, the killers of Tianyan Sect couldn't help but become more anxious.
Finally, "Yi Cheng" came up with a barely reliable plan:
When Xinyuehu is separated from everyone, one person can take the opportunity to get close to Xinyuehu and assassinate.
However, after confirming this plan, Xinyuehu and his group had already returned to their room and were about to go to bed to rest. They had no time to polish and craft the plan.
Therefore, the postman who nominally gave Xinyuehu hot water but actually wanted to kill Xinyuehu with one blow, would reveal his flaws. He was noticed by the already vigilant Xinyuehu and took action first and seriously injured him.
Since the assassination plan that was barely thought of has failed, the only way left is naturally to attack.
So, after getting rid of the pursuit, they ignited the entire inn.
Although they themselves knew that it was a bit delusional to burn Xinyuehu to death in the inn just that simple, and it would also attract the attention of Li Wensong and other six door detectives who had been paying attention here.
But they had already become quit at this time, so naturally they couldn't control so much.
Moreover, the entire station was completely ignited, which could cause a lot of noise. Even if they failed, they could explain it to the higher authorities after they returned.
"It's because I can't wait and work hard, it's because the enemy is so cunning!"
This is also the reason why all the killers of Tianyan Sect evacuated after Xinyuehu and his group escaped from the post station.
