Chapter 683 Unexpected (1)
Chen Hao is a good player in the Luotian Sect’s technical secondary school’s sneak attack and assassination. Over the years, there are not a hundred or eighty targets that have died at his hands. So he is quite sensitive to assassination. When the blade pierces into the bedding, he suddenly feels strange in his heart: "No, it's empty inside! There's a fraud!"
Just when he was shocked to realize something was wrong and subconsciously turned his head to scan the dark guest room, a cold light suddenly flashed under the bed, catching his lower abdomen. The target in the room was actually hiding under the bed, and was not fascinated by his "Rooster Crowing the Fifth Update of Soul-Returning Incense". At this time, he had already taken action!
Fortunately, Shen Hao was alert. The moment the knife light appeared, he twisted his body quickly and retreated to the back. While retreating, he sucked his lips and let out a scream, but he wanted to notify his accomplices inside and outside the inn to be careful of sneak attacks. However, he had just taken two steps back, and when his back hit the wall, there was a rush above his head. A huge fishing net had pounced down, and he just wrapped his whole body in.
At the same time, the cold light was retracted, and the person jumped out like a cheetah. He looked at the opportunity, his knees and elbows were out. Before Shen Hao could even struggle from the net, he had already hit his lower abdomen, his heart and other weaknesses, making him unable to catch it in one breath, and he fell down softly with a muffled groan.
At the same time, there were also noises in the guest rooms on both sides, and the shock of heavy objects hitting the walls came. But in just a blink of an eye, everything returned to peace.
Outside the inn, the few people who were left behind were stiff after hearing the sudden roar from inside, and then the sword was unsheathed and dodged to hide in the darkness on the side. Unexpectedly, they were hitting the dozens of soldiers who had already ambushed there. Before they could land, a sword and gun had already slashed fiercely.
Suddenly, screams and blood splashed, accompanied by a silence: "Take it alive!" Several people were stabbed to the ground, with swords and guns and necks, unable to move.
This movement naturally alarmed many residents in the town, but before they could come out to check what was going on, the door of their own room had been knocked, and serious voices also came into the house: "Everyone is staying at home honestly. Those who dare to go out at this time will be punished by the bandits and will be killed without any attention!"
As soon as the solemn words entered people's ears, the residents of the town felt panic. The many men who had already arrived in front of the door quickly retreated, not daring to open the door again or making a sound.
All of this was carried out in the dark, and almost no soldiers were dispatched torches. It was not until the inn door opened again and Li Ling came out calmly from inside that a candle was illuminated by his side, but this could only illuminate a few steps away.
His eyes were only swept the faces of a few guys who had been tied up in front of him, and then he frowned: "Are there only a few people?"
"Yes, no one of the assassins ran away, and they were taken down." Yang Zhen stepped forward and said. It was him who was responsible for setting up ambush people outside the inn. No one could escape in front of him.
"Take it in, I want to ask them what they have any plans. By the way, remember to bring the old Zhuchuan family to me too!" After Li Ling ordered, he returned to the inn. It was not until then that the candle was lit inside, illuminating the entire space of the lobby.
The seven assassins were all controlled. Chen Hao struggled a little while, but was stepped on by Li Moyun in front of him. With force, his whole body was sore and numb. He could only stare at Li Ling with hatred: "Are you prepared?"
"Yes, I realized that it was a bit strange soon after I entered the town." Li Ling nodded. The town was too calm. Where did the border town look like it was going through the changes? Also, the buildings in the town seemed to be fine, but as long as I pay attention, I would find that there were traces of new repairs in the exterior walls, which means that I had just experienced war here!
What Li Ling cares about the most is that since he entered the town, he has never seen a child in the town. He only has some fear and anxiety and quickly retreats home. This is obviously very unreasonable. How can there be no children in the village and town?
However, he could also see that many people in the town were real ordinary people, and the awe-reaction after seeing the officers and soldiers was not fake. Only Zhu Chuan, the old man who talked to him and claimed to be the mayor, had no ordinary temperament and showed many flaws.
It was precisely from these doubts that Li Ling guessed that this place had been set up by someone, so he used the trick and took down these ill-hearted assassins in one go.
However, Li Ling would not explain these inferences to others, but just stared at one of the assassins with a faint look: "Tell me, who are you?"
"Hmph—" Responding to him was the other party's disdain snorting coldly. Even though he had been captured alive, he still refused to admit defeat. When Li Ling saw it, he was not angry and sighed: "Do you know why I have to capture you alive? Because there are only too many people, it will not hurt when I kill you." As he spoke, a look came over, and the guards beside him understood, and he sneered and dragged him out. When he arrived in front of the inn, he had no more words. He suddenly thrust the knife in his hand and slammed into his heart, causing him to scream half a moment, and then lost his life. He let go, and threw it aside like throwing garbage.
All this was carried out so decisively, without hesitation, and all the assassins, including Shen Hao, were stunned, and then a burst of fear arose in their hearts. Although they were also the ones who killed without blinking, and their hands were covered with blood, this did not mean that they were really not afraid of death.
Suddenly, the bodies of several people trembled. Li Ling naturally quickly grabbed their reaction and his eyes fell on someone: "Say, who are you? I will only give you one chance, and you will die if you don't say it!"
"I...we are the secret killing team of Luo Tian Sect..." The man who was so defensive that he dared not hide anything, so he told his identity, "We acted on the order of Zhu Chuanxiang, and we have no choice... Lord Li, please spare your life..."
As soon as this person spoke, the others had no worries and then reported their names one after another. They were also the assassin of the Luotian Sect Secret Slaying Team. Shen Hao was the leader of them. At this time, Li Ling took a look at him and his heart contracted and he was extremely panicked.
Just as Li Ling wanted to ask more conspiracies from him, several more people were half dragged into the hall. Zhu Chuan and his two "sons" with blood on their bodies, one of whom was seriously injured and was not far from death.
Obviously, in order to take them down, there was a fierce battle. Even Zhu Chuan was injured on his body. When he was pushed and pressed in front of Li Ling, he even let out a muffled groan, and then he smiled miserably: "Mr. Li is really amazing. How did you see the flaws of us?" They all understand people, and there was nothing to pretend. He simply asked Li Ling first.
"It's very simple. You mayor is too unqualified. You don't say anything about the imperial officials. Their two sons are too confused about the past of the town." Li Ling said with a smile, "Even the official from the capital, I know why Desheng Town is named, but they both looked confused. Is this the son of the mayor like you? Also, no matter how well they pretend, their temperament is still exposed. They don't look like civilians in a small town. They are obviously two green forest men. If I can't even see this flaw, how can I travel around the world?"
Li Ling casually pointed out the many flaws they showed, and then stared at him and said, "Now I have told you the truth, and I hope you can treat each other honestly. Are you Zhu Chuanxiang in their mouths? Tell me, what are your conspiracy arrangements?"
"Haha... Lord Li is really amazing. I was careless and underestimated your eyesight. This time I did not lose unjustly." Zhu Chuan smiled terrified, but then his eyes were fierce again, "But don't be too proud. Even if our assassination failed this time, you won't live long."
"Don't you know? Apart from you, you are stealing assassins, you should have arranged people to attack at night? You must have said that this movement has been investigated by the scouts I sent out long ago." Li Ling smiled dissatisfiedly, "I just want you to explain one thing now. I believe you are planning to cooperate with you inside and outside. If you can kill me and cause chaos in the town's garrison, you can wipe us out at a smaller price, so there is naturally a way to convey the message. Tell me, I can save your lives for the time being, otherwise..." As he said that, a strong murderous intent flashed in Li Ling's eyes, and the meaning had been conveyed.
"Mr. Li is really meticulous. This time I am really convinced. It's okay to tell you that we have made an agreement with the outsiders. If things are done, we will release three rockets. If not, we will wait for the fourth hour of the year. Without any movement, they will launch an attack." I wonder if it has accepted his fate or is to suffer less torture, Zhu Chuan cooperated very well this time and quickly explained everything.
This made Li Ling a little worried, and looked at Shen Hao again: "What he said is true?"
"That's it." Shen Hao nodded.
Li Ling looked at the other people again, but saw that they nodded, but admitted that what Zhu Chuan said was true.
Although Li Ling always felt that the other party was a bit strange to explain everything so easily, he still agreed with this statement, and then looked at Chen Daoshou, who immediately understood: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. Those bandits dare to attack, no matter how they come or go!"
"Then please, General." Li Ling bowed seriously, and the latter bowed with his hands, then stopped hesitating and turned around and left with a clang.
In fact, in this seemingly peaceful night, the troops stationed in the town had already made a series of preparations, waiting for the enemy to come to the door. However, when Li Ling exhaled a breath of turbid air and turned to look at Zhu Chuan, he found that his expression was filled with a hint of expectation.
