Chapter 633 Attack
But this girl was a kind-hearted person and had never had a quarrel with anyone. And on the night when the young girl's body was fished out of the well, something terrible happened in the village.
First, at night, some villagers heard a very shrill cry outside, and the sound sounded long and dull, as if it was coming from a very deep place.
Then, the chickens and ducks raised in someone's courtyard began to get restless, pecking at each other, causing chicken and duck feathers to fly all over the yard.
There are also people who feel like there is an extra person in their home for no reason, and they are staring at the whole family all the time...
The plot of this storybook sounds very scary, especially since Lu Qiyan's speaking skills are now even better than before, and the sinister sound effects produced by ventriloquism are even more vivid, which only made Xia Mingyue break out in cold sweat on her back. He couldn't help but squeeze Lu Qiyan's hand in order to feel a little sense of security.
The plot of this story is very attractive. Xia Mingyue is looking forward to the next plot. She can only hold Lu Qiyan in her arms and ask impatiently, "Then, and then..."
"Then..."
Before Lu Qiyan finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside.
Extremely anxious, mixed with screams.
Xia Mingyue had not yet been separated from the plot of the story, and she suddenly exclaimed. After a moment, she realized that it was a movement in the real world, and her face suddenly darkened, "What happened?"
"I'll go take a look." Lu Qiyan patted the back of Xia Mingyue's hand, "You are here, don't go out."
"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded vigorously.
Lu Qiyan took the long sword on the table and went out, telling the guards at the door to guard him tightly, and then went to check what was going on.
Xia Yunji hurried over, "Brother-in-law, they are a group of masked men, as many as a hundred people. They first attacked with bows and arrows, then climbed over the wall and entered, fighting with us and the people of Jin Weiguo."
"Kill without mercy." Lu Qiyan gave the order in a deep voice, then raised his sword and headed towards the courtyard where Li Juncheng, Tao Kanglai and other Jin Weiguo envoys lived.
Here, the number of masked criminals was greater than Lu Qiyan imagined, and they were extremely skilled and ruthless. Many Jin Weiguo guards were already knocked down on the ground.
"Your Highness," Lu Qiyan shouted as he walked towards the house where Li Juncheng lived.
But after he rushed over, he found that although candles were burning in Li Juncheng's house and there was a half-open storybook on the table, there was no one in the house.
"Your Highness!"
Lu Qiyan came out of the house and called out again.
Seeing that he still didn't get any response, Lu Qiyan killed the nearest masked man and asked Jin Weiguo's guard Li Juncheng where he was and if he was safe.
"The thieves broke in. General Tao was worried that His Highness was in danger, so he escorted His Highness out of the corner gate!"
really.
Lu Qiyan's heart suddenly sank.
Xia Yunji was ordered to lead the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army to eliminate all these masked gangsters, while Lu Qiyan took a few people to find Li Juncheng and Tao Ankang.
Although the snow on the roads along the way had been mostly cleared, and it was late at night and the originally muddy roads had re-frozen, there were still traces left on the road.
Following the trail, the trail disappeared without a trace before reaching a forest.
It seems to have disappeared out of thin air. Lu Qiyan frowned and looked at the disappearing footprints. After a moment, he suddenly woke up.
Letting the people below continue to search for suspicious people nearby, Lu Qiyan got on his horse, reined in the reins and walked back along the road he came from.
All the way back to Bieyuan, the situation at this time was basically under Xia Yunji's control.
The vast majority of the masked men in black had been executed on the spot, while the rest were more or less injured and began to flee.
Xia Yunji sent people to catch up, hoping to catch all these bad guys.
Xia Yunji knew that Lu Qiyan was out looking for Li Juncheng and Tao Ankang. When he saw Lu Qiyan coming back with a gloomy face, he suddenly felt uneasy, "Could it be..."
"Shh." Lu Qiyan put his finger to his lips, signaling Xia Yunji to whisper, and then pulled Xia Yunji into the courtyard.
Walking all the way to the deepest point, I stopped when I reached the small vacant Buddhist hall in the villa.
"What are you doing here, brother-in-law?" Xia Yunji was a little confused.
The small Buddhist hall here is the most depressing thing in the whole garden. It is always locked and no one comes in or out.
"Don't you think it's a little strange here?" Lu Qiyan said, "The masked gangsters broke into the Villa. It can be said that they launched attacks everywhere, but they didn't break in here. It's really against common sense."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In theory, such an uninhabited place is the easiest place to hide, and criminals should not let it go.
"Indeed." Xia Yunji nodded, agreeing with Lu Qiyan's point of view.
"In addition, you usually send people to patrol outside, let alone bad guys with evil intentions. Even wild animals cannot get close to Bieyuan. Why did these people enter Bieyuan so easily this time?"
Facing Lu Qiyan's inquiry, Xia Yunji also showed doubts on his face.
Indeed, what happened today was very strange.
And when the people under him realized something was wrong, the masked men were already in the villa, as if they had suddenly emerged from the ground...
Wait, people don't come out of the ground.
And the reason why these masked men can appear in the Villa can only mean that they were there from the beginning!
These people...are from Jin Weiguo!
Among the Jin Weiguo envoys, there are those who are extremely hostile to the peace talks and want to sabotage the peace talks...
Tao Ankang!
Xia Yunji pulled out the knife from his waist with a swipe, "Tao Ankang kidnapped His Highness here?"
"That's right." Lu Qiyan nodded, and then shouted loudly, "Having reached this point, does General Tao still persist in his stubbornness?"
"General Tao, you have to know that even if you take the Second Highness hostage, or even kill the Second Highness, you will not be able to stop Jin Weiguo from negotiating peace with the Great Zhou Kingdom. On the contrary, you will be charged with murdering the prince in vain. The result was a massacre.”
"Even if you don't care about your own life, do you want to abandon the lives of your family members?"
"Family?" Tao Ankang's voice came out from the darkness. After a burst of soft footsteps, Tao Ankang walked out of the corner with Li Juncheng. The dagger in his hand was pressed against Li Juncheng's neck, and he had already made a subtle scratch. Red blood flowed from the wound.
Tao Ankang didn't care about this. Instead, he twitched his lips and said, "I am the only one left in our Tao family now!"
"I, the Tao family, are full of loyal men and women, wrapped in horse leather, in order that one day I can flatten your Great Zhou Kingdom and incorporate all the territory of your Great Zhou Kingdom into the Jinwei Kingdom!"
