Chapter 1029: Setting up a Bureau in the Bureau (Part 2)
There are indeed many ambushers outside, but in terms of combat power, they are obviously far from comparable to those elite soldiers in the army. Especially, they were first attacked by masters like Li Moyun, and then even the archers set up were messed up, so naturally they didn't even have any chance to turn defeat into victory.
So, under the charge of Li Moyun, the guards became more and more fierce as they killed each other. The ambushers kept falling down, either with broken limbs or different bodies, and were really tragic.
In fact, it is no wonder that everyone is ruthless. It is because they are suppressed by others one after another. Now that they have finally had a place to vent, it is naturally impossible to show mercy. This massacre scared the other ambushers to lose their fighting spirit, screaming in surprise, turning their heads and running away.
Sun Bi was still trying to continue chasing, but Li Ling's voice came from behind: "Brother Sun, everyone, don't chase the enemy!"
His status in everyone's mind has improved a little more. If he hadn't seen the problem in time and set up a counterattack strategy, he would probably have fallen to the ground and died now. So with this call, the guards really stopped chasing and quickly protected Sun Bi and retreated.
After scanning the injured people on the ground who were still crying and moaning, Sun Bi looked at Li Ling: "Wen Zhong, what are your plans next?" Not only did he want to ask, but everyone else had the same idea. For a moment, more than twenty pairs of eyes fell on Li Ling.
"Go back." Li Ling's answer was simply concise, but many people didn't understand: "Where to go back?"
Without looking back, Li Ling took his finger and pointed at Youyun Village not far behind him: "Go back to the village and meet Xin Ruhai and the others, this time he should be able to speak out."
"Will you go back to see them? Are you not afraid that they will put us under house arrest again?" Sun Bi said in surprise.
"It shouldn't be there. After all, we have all killed the guys who monitored them." Li Ling said, and his eyes quickly swept across several corpses on the ground. In addition to Fan Laoliu who was shot by his own people just now, there were two corpses that everyone also looked familiar with. It was Fan Laoqi and Fan Laojiu. It turned out that they were not in the village, but had been ambushed outside.
Sun Bi thought for a while, but he already understood something and nodded, "Okay, let's go back."
Both of them said this, so the others naturally had no objection. They immediately cleaned up and turned to Youyun Village, but did not walk on the tunnel, but went back to the main gate again.
On the way to Youyun Village, Sun Bi couldn't help but ask, "Did you really suspect that Fan Laoliu has a problem through that hot letter?" He still has no accurate answer to this question.
Li Ling smiled: "Of course not. If only this flaw is the case, how could I be so decisive? In fact, as early as when Qingyuan County was trapped, I vaguely realized that our identity might have been exposed. In other words, there were those guys' eyeliners in the caravan we rescued that day, but I didn't know who it was."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Sun Bi was stunned again and asked curiously.
"The retention of Qingyuan County does not seem to be too much - trouble, but in fact it is the prelude to this incident. Of course, the county magistrate has no problem. The key lies in their purpose - they want to slow down our itinerary so as to create better opportunities for the next arrangement. Of course, there is another thing they value very much, that is, to further verify our identity. When I took out the Imperial City Stissu waist card, I believe that the eyeliner of the person behind the scenes can confirm that you are their target."
Sun Bi thought carefully, then nodded: "What you said is not without reason. But the question is, why did you guess that Fan Laoliu is the eyeliner, and even the key to this attempt to lead us into the trap?"
"This is in the time when he appeared. Normally, as an innocent businessman who has experienced the killing of a horse, he should walk carefully and slowly for a while in the next period of time. It is human nature to live in a city for a few days. But he appeared in Youyunzhuang, and it is obvious that he has a faster journey than us. What does this mean? It means that when we were trapped in Qingyuan County, he was still rushing to the road with all his might. Then, we can see the problem. He, or the person behind him, wanted to slow us down, set up an ambush here, and wanted to kill us.
"In addition, there is another very important thing, that is, Fan Laoliu is too familiar with the authenticity of Youyun Village, which is very unreasonable. This authenticity is Youyun Village's life-saving method. No matter how good the relationship between the two parties is, Xin Ruhai will not disclose such secrets to outsiders, let alone make him familiar as if he is at his own home. The only explanation is that he used some means to ask the matter."
Sun Bi sighed sincerely: "Wen Zhong, you are indeed as careful as dust. We have never noticed these inconspicuous details and flaws, but you have caught them one by one, thus seeing through their conspiracy."
"I'm just being more careful. The more coincidental things happen, the more it means there may be problems." Li Ling said a little modestly. While speaking, the few people came to Youyun Village again. At this time, the door here was closed, but they were completely unaware that there had just been a melee in the outside world.
At Li Ling's instructions, a guard came forward to call the door. After they revealed their identities, the people in the door were surprised. After a while, the gate was pulled up, and then Xin Ruhai led the brothers to greet him with surprise: "Boss Li, Boss Sun, are you..." He wanted to ask how the other party got out, and he wanted to ask why he came back since he went out. But these words were embarrassed to speak for a while, so he could only say half a sentence.
Li Ling immediately understood what he meant and smiled and said, "Master Xin, why not let's go in and sit down first and talk slowly?"
"Okay... please, everyone." Xin Ruhai hesitated for a moment and invited everyone back to the village. However, Gu Fei and others looked at the fresh blood on the guards, and their expressions were even more strange.
After entering the village and returning to the original hall, Li Ling opened the right path and said straight to the point: "Master Xin, I think you were forced to attack us because you were forced to do something, right? But someone detained your family, which forced you to act according to your order?"
"How do you...how do you know?" Someone immediately asked in surprise. Even if the answer was given by just this opening.
Gu Fei smiled bitterly: "Boss Li is really good, and he actually saw the problem so quickly. To be honest, my brothers' families were indeed taken away a few days ago, and used this to threaten us to find you, and then trap you in the village. Their request is to trap you for ten days and be considered successful. Then you can leave safely and our families can return safely."
Sun Bi glanced at Li Ling again, and even he was rightly criticized. The latter just smiled: "But is it a person from an official in a nearby city?"
This time, the few people stopped answering, but the silence itself was enough to explain the answer. Li Ling exhaled: "Have you ever thought about it? The government is obviously stronger than you, so why do you have to use you and use such despicable means?"
Gu Fei and several brothers quickly exchanged glances, then shook his head: "We can't guess, and we don't want to know."
"Well, many times, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. But you have thought that in fact, you were already in a dead end when you were chosen by them. Their plans were extremely great and the matter was even more dangerous. Whether it succeeded or not, you could not escape death. If it succeeded, it would be necessary to say that even if it succeeded, you became insiders and a hidden danger in their eyes. Do you think they would let you go?" Li Ling's last sentence was said to Gu Fei. Compared to others, he could obviously understand the importance of it.
Sure enough, Gu Fei's face became particularly serious at this time, and then he showed deep anxiety: "What did you do outside?"
"Don't you understand? We can go out and come back safely, which means that those guys who cooperate with you have failed. Since it is related to life and death, most of them will naturally not have a good end, including the Fan brothers who have been monitoring you."
Li Ling's words were quite dull, but when they fell into the ears of the people in Youyun Village, it was like thunder, which made them change their color again: "You... have you killed them all?"
"Not all, there are still many fish that miss the net. But if you don't believe it, you can go to the authentic exit over there to see where their bodies are still there."
The few people looked at each other for a few times, but they didn't send anyone. In fact, they only looked at the fresh blood on the guards, and they believed that Li Ling's words were true. From the fact that people knew that the village was authentic, they guessed that the other party might use this trick, but they didn't expect that this trick would fail.
But then, Gu Fei's face changed again, and he said anxiously: "Do you say someone else escaped alive?"
"No," Li Ling nodded, looking calm, "In other words, soon, they will run back and pass the news of the failure to the official. Then think about how the other party will view this matter? Do you suspect that you betrayed yourself and end up in such a big defeat?
"Anyway, if it were me, I would probably have made such a reason for being shocked and angry. Then, tsk tsk..." He didn't finish his words, but the profound meaning had been fully conveyed. Gu Fei and the others had already understood it one after another. In panic, they almost jumped out of their seats.
Sun Bi, who was standing by, finally understood and had to admire Li Ling's deep calculating. It turned out that he had just let go of the people. In addition to the explanation of the defeated bandit Mo Zhui, he also had a deep purpose, which was to force the people in Youyun Village to a dead end and pull them to his side!
