Chapter 302 I'll Pick Up Someone
The slanting sky of the setting sun is shining, and the autumn wind blows the branches with only the last dead leaves, and passes over the city streets.Pedestrians come and go in the market, and horse-drawn carriages pass through the period.
When the members of Badao Battalion who came on horseback caught up with the carriage ahead, Ning Yi was watching Liu Xigua, Liu Tiannan and others discussing some details of today's operation in the carriage, and Chen Fan, who had not recovered from his injuries, also joined in the fun.
The target of today's action is mainly Bao Daoyi's White Deer Temple.For the past few days, most people thought that Baodaoyi and Liu Xigua would remain rational after all, and that no large-scale conflicts had occurred. However, Liu Xigua understood Baodaoyi's character of vengeance, and the current conflict would not wait until now. In the evening, he wanted to break Bao Daoyi's lair before dark, and rescue many women who were locked here under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Fighting wars deserves a reputation in the outside world. Since the Badao Battalion has already occupied the commanding heights, it will naturally be carried forward next.
Relatively speaking, the Gutong temple is either a woman who Bao Daoyi is tired of playing with or a group of people who are caught privately by his subordinates. Only Bailuguan really belongs to Bao Daoyi's harem. Once touched, it is equal to him A piece of meat was dug out of my heart.As soon as this matter is done, Ba Dao Ying and Bao Dao Yi have declared war in full force, and others don't have to think about coming to mediate, they can only stand in line.
After making the decision to attack, of course we can't just attack one place for show, with Bailu Temple as the main target, and many other strongholds belonging to Baodaoyi also sent targeted manpower.In any case, this evening will be the most lively carnival. For Ning Yi, the plan for Wenrenbuer, the situation in Hangzhou in the future, and some key arrangements that can play a role when the imperial army comes to attack , will be launched this evening.That's why, when the messenger came up from behind and saw Juan'er's figure, Ning Yi was really a little bit astonished.
The city of Hangzhou is not peaceful, and Juan'er is dressed in men's clothing, and her body is also a little dirty.She anxiously told Ning Yi about the siege of the small courtyard not long ago, and Lu Hong mentioned the matter of sending her out for her to report, with an anxious expression.In fact, with Lu Hongti around, it might not be impossible to protect Su Tan'er from leaving or kill the dozens of people who besieged the small courtyard, but it would be very difficult to do two things at the same time, or even save everyone .
Taking a step back, even if she could do it, in the current situation of Su Tan'er and his party, after killing dozens of people, it would be impossible to leave the city.Under such circumstances, Su Tan'er asked Lu Hong to report the news, but Lu Hongti insisted on staying with Su Tan'er, but sent Juan'er out, leaving the choice of the matter to Ning Yi's hands .
"...People from the Lou family?" Hearing this, Ning Yi was stunned for a moment.
"My servant has seen the second young master of the Lou family, and the eldest young master seems to be there too...My lord, you know that Lou Shuheng has always coveted the young lady, maybe it's because of this..."
"Ha, this is really..." I really couldn't find a suitable mood, Ning Yi raised his head and opened his mouth, and at this time, such a thing would be inserted.But no matter how absurd, the thing has happened after all, he took a breath, and patted Juan'er on the shoulder: "I see, Juan'er, you go back to Xiliu Street with Xiaochan, wait for me and your lady to come back at night, it's okay gone."
After finishing speaking, Ning Yi turned around and walked towards the carriage waiting on the street. Juan'er saw that Ning Yi decided to do it so quickly, and she became worried when she was relieved, and said to Xiaochan: "Then... I was going to leave tonight What should I do..." Xiaochan shook her head and pulled her: "Let's go back first." She was afraid that Liu Xigua and others in the carriage would see something.
In fact, the people over there have already watched it with great interest. They don't know what the relationship between the girl who suddenly came over and pretended to be a woman has anything to do with Ning Yi. Liu Xigua looks thoughtful.Ning Yi walked over, under the setting sun, on the street with people coming and going, the scholar in a robe said a few words, and everyone's expressions became wonderful.After a while, Liu Xigua said, "Is 200 people enough?"
"It's fine if there are 50 people. On the way, I'll go to Ruifeng Camp. You guys go first."
"I'll give you one hundred, and Ah Chang will accompany you there."
This is a simple and quick conversation, and a decision was made quickly on this sudden situation, but after saying this, Fang Shuchang jumped out of the car, Ning Yi turned around and was about to leave, Liu Xigua poked his head out, With a little playful smile on his face.
"There will be a banquet tonight, and I will clean up my sister-in-law."
"Understood." Ning Yi replied a little angrily. The carriage over there was moving, and the curtain was lifted, but another figure jumped down. It was Chen Fan, who was still bandaged, and patted him with a smile. Ning Yi's shoulder: "One piece, I will also meet my younger siblings."
At this time, hundreds of elites from the Badao Battalion were quietly dispersing to several major areas in the city from different directions. Liu Xigua's carriage was heading to Bailuguan, while Ning Yi, Fang Shuchang, and Chen Fan and others rushed to the building in the opposite direction. In the mansion, a few messengers who were scattered began to make nearly a hundred people on this side come closer during the attack. At the same time, a messenger also went to the location of the nearby Sharp Front Camp. This is a small group of troops inclined to the Badao Camp. Among them, the eldest son of the leader is also the backbone of the Yongle Youth League who studied under Ning Yi. After receiving the news, more than hundreds of people jumped out of the camp.
At the same time, Lou Mansion was preparing for dinner.
******************
It was not yet dark, and the big lanterns had begun to be lit one by one.Lou's family has a big business, and recently they are not short of this little money.A total of five tables were set up in the main hall, among which three tables were occupied by family members and relatives of the Lou family, and two tables were occupied by recruited staff or guest ministers.
When taking the seat, Lou Shuheng was still a little excited, and Lou Jinlin gave him an annoyed look.Lou Shuwang called the housekeeper and asked him to strengthen the defense inside and outside the mansion to avoid troubles. He is a cautious person, and he knows that Ning Yi is more or less in the Badao camp. If he takes the risk, there must be some response.
Today's Lou Family is different from the past. In order to develop and grow, the power of relatives cannot be ignored, and the recruiting of staff and guests should not be neglected. Sitting together for dinner every day is a good time to strengthen the relationship.Lou Shuheng had just arrested Su Tan'er and others into the mansion, but he still didn't dare to miss the meal.It's just that he was usually a little absent-minded at such times in the past, but today he is obviously much more active, looking for someone to talk to and chatting, which is quite eye-catching for a while.
Like this second brother, Lou Shuwan's mood has been complicated and depressed recently. Seeing him like this, she felt a little puzzled in her heart, and this doubt later turned into speculation.After a while, she probably understood the elder brother's order to the housekeeper, and went to ask: "Elder brother, what did you do with the second brother?"
Lou Shuwang was eating, and stopped for a while: "What?"
"You...have you done something to Ning Yi?"
"No." Lou Shuwang shook his head and denied, "But it will happen sooner or later, don't worry about it."
"You guys..." Lou Shuwan's eyes widened, and she was about to say more when Lou Jinlin, who was on the main seat beside her, frowned: "Shu Wan, when you're eating, don't talk about things that won't make it to the table!"
He vaguely heard his daughter mention the word "Ning Yi", and felt displeased.For this father, Lou Shuwan was still afraid after all, she fell silent, Lou Jinlin asked Lou Shuwang, "Shuwang, what's going on with Tang Bingzhang?"
"The will has not yet been decided..."
"Tomorrow, I will have a talk with him for my father to settle the matter."
When Lou Jinlin mentioned this, there was a guest minister next to him, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Dong Weng wants to subdue Tang Bingzhang? It's not easy..."
The Lou family's solicitation of people and power, at least internally, everyone understands what it means. This is no longer a merchant's status, but a big family and a big warlord.Then everyone also talked about the recent change in the outside world's impression of the Lou family. Not many people dared to bully them, etc. The emotions were enthusiastic and they were proud.Lou Jinlin said to Lou Shuwan and Lou Shuheng: "Take it easy in the future and take care of these things in the family. We are no longer the Lou family we used to be, and the structure should be bigger."
When they were talking about these things, it was not far from the Lou family mansion. Hundreds of members of the Badao camp came from the road. When they met Ning Yi, some of them went to ask: "Mr. Ning, I heard that the captive is Brothers and sisters?" They were in groups of three or four, with more than a dozen people in one group, and they did not completely form a formation, because according to the previous plan, they were going to disguise themselves as pedestrians to attack. In the news exchange, there are also all kinds of whispers.
"I heard that Mr. Ning's wife was robbed..."
"I haven't seen it before..."
"Who the hell did it..."
"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth..."
"What are you still doing slowly? Hurry up..."
"Fuck, peeled off their skins..."
Ning Yi can't be regarded as a rough man who eats meat and drinks in Ba Dao camp, but he is positioned as a literati and scholar. Although everyone doesn't get along with him, they already know Ning Yi's skills now. Cooperating with Liu Tiannan to arrange the Badao Camp well.For this group of people, this slap is equivalent to falling on their own faces.
Waves of knife-wielding men rushed away with murderous aura...
******************
Shen Shi passed, the sky was getting dark, and the red lanterns were hung high.
The atmosphere of the banquet has also become more and more harmonious and lively. At some point, a column of smoke appeared on the sky on one side of the courtyard. It seems that a fire broke out on the other side of the city. Everyone took a look.
"Where?"
"Over there at the east end of the city."
"Like the White Deer Temple."
"No way, it's not like..."
While talking, a chaotic voice suddenly came from outside. Everyone was still wondering if it was true. A nurse rushed over from the gate: "Report...report, report...outside There are armies, armies..."
"Something happened." Lou Jinlin frowned, "Passing by?"
"No no no... not..."
The man didn't usually stutter, but before he finished speaking, someone kicked open the main gate on the other side of the courtyard, and a figure rushed in.Naturally, there is a nursing home here. I originally wanted to go up to block it, but then stopped, and no one dared to go forward.Because at this time, people with bows and arrows also appeared on the fence around the courtyard.From the street next to the main house, there was a vague order: "Rush in!" Such brief orders.There wasn't much shouting and killing, but all of a sudden, there were movements from all directions, and occasionally a scream of "ah" came from an unknown courtyard behind, maybe someone was dead.
The situation in the vestibule and backyard was quickly brought under control. Someone in the yard wanted to go over to negotiate, but was chopped to the ground with a knife.There were several groups of people who rushed in, but none of them said a word, they just stared at everyone in the courtyard and the room with bloody or unbloody swords.Some of the people at the five tables in the main hall stood up, while some sat there not daring to move.Lou Jinlin was also sitting. Facing the sudden situation, the old man remained calm, but asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
Lou Shuwang stood beside him, thinking about something, watching all this and shaking his head: "Impossible."
"what?"
"Maybe...it might be Ning Yi...but how is it possible..."
"Huh?" Lou Jinlin raised his head to look at the eldest son beside him, and Lou Shuwang said, "My younger brother caught Su Tan'er an hour ago, and he is at home now."
Lou Jinlin pursed his lips and thought for a while, his eyes were sharp: "Even Shuai Fo can't touch my Lou family easily." He shook his head, "It can't be because of that Ning Yi, it's just a coincidence...the person will come later See what they want."
However, just a moment later, Ning Yi's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard with Chen Fan, Fang Shuchang and others. He showed no expression, stretched out his hand to roll up the sleeve of the scholar's robe, and walked straight towards the hall.Lou Jinlin raised his head slightly. Looking at this scene, Lou Shuwang just frowned, shook his head and said softly, "Why...it's impossible..." But then, he walked towards the entrance of the hall, He made a gesture of greeting, just kept thinking about what was going on in this ridiculous situation in his heart, how could this man who had joined Fang La's army for only a while as a married man do this.
Everyone is watching, they basically don't know Ning Yi, but looking at the situation, they also know that the person who has come is already in charge.When Ning Yi stepped up the steps with a slight frown, Lou Shuwang also arched his hands: "Brother Ning, today's matter..." Ning Yi's somewhat indifferent but more likely to be bored eyes only stayed on him For a moment, he turned back to Lou Jin in the room. While walking, he took the crossbow from a person beside him. The next moment, he pointed the crossbow at Lou Shuwang's throat and pulled the trigger.
puff--
"what--"
Someone screamed, the whole hall shook, Ning Yi stepped into the main hall, Lou Shuwang's body fell two meters away, the crossbow arrow pierced his throat, he tried to reach out to cover it, but blood came out of his throat and mouth at the same time , He looked at the ceiling, with only one thought in his head, he didn't understand what was going on, that was Ning Yi, why why why why... He obviously still has a lot of things to do, that is Ning Yi, first The first time I saw him, it was Ning Yi, who was just a husband-in-law. He obviously still had a lot of things to do and was doing. What should he do with the things arranged tomorrow? He just kidnapped an insignificant Su Taner. It doesn't matter if you kill it casually...
Lou Shuwan screamed and rushed towards her brother, but her throat was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and she was powerless.The impact of this moment made Lou Jinlin, who was sitting at the top, suddenly tense up. The old man was still sitting there, clenching his teeth, watching the scene where the eldest son suddenly fell, and stared at Ning Yi.I'm afraid not many people would have thought that someone would attack Lou Shuwang so simply, someone came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
This person is one of the relatives of the Lou family, maybe he just greeted him subconsciously. Fang Shu often drew his knife backhand and retracted it. The corpse shot out with blood, and the blood soaked the ground. Opening, falling, and exclaiming, it was chaos again.But after this scene, the hall was almost silent.Ning Yi's footsteps did not stop from the beginning to the end, he just threw back the crossbow casually, walked through the two round tables near the door, and went straight to the table of the innermost head seat.
A Lou family member who was sitting on the opposite side of the building stood up, subconsciously trying to avoid it, but tripped over a chair, and staggered back a few steps with a bang.For a moment, almost everyone around dispersed in such a chaotic manner.Ning Yi stepped across the gap between the two chairs, grabbed the edge of the round table and threw it aside.
With a loud bang, the huge round table and more than ten kinds of dishes on it turned to the side of the hall. The table next to it was originally a group of guests recruited by the Lou family. Dodging away, some were drenched in soup, but still dare not speak.In fact, the one with the highest martial arts skills in this group was beaten violently by Chen Fan before. Looking at Chen Fan standing there, his hands were shaking.
The round table flew away, and the shelf supporting it below had been lifted and smashed to the side.Lou Jinlin was the only person sitting there at the original chair. This old man was really imposing. He was trembling slightly at this time, staring at Ning Yi like a lion with a dead child. If the middle-level generals in the Fangla army came to search their homes, they would probably be a little horrified. Ning Yi grabbed the chair beside him and put it in front of the building. Sitting down in front of him, he clenched his fists on his knees, sat upright, and looked into the eyes of the old man with some indifference.
Looking at each other for two seconds, he spoke with a cold expression. His tone was not high, and there was no cadence. He just made a simple and peaceful statement: "I came to pick up people. Today, someone said no. I will kill you." Your whole family."
Lou Jinlin stared at him, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't speak in the end.A few seconds later, Ning Yi stretched out his hand and patted the back of the old man's palm slowly and hard twice, got up and walked away, too lazy to look at him again.
The people who controlled the scene and searched had already gone in. He walked under the eaves and waited for his wife and his party to come out.
