Chapter 262 A Tasteful Counterattack

When he stood up, he quietly knocked on his father's back a few times, the code meant "be careful".

He Chunhua looked at the two of them and said nothing.

The restaurant owner also pointed them in the direction: "There is a toilet in the back, don't look down after you go in."

After the two of them left the restaurant, Shan Youjun whispered: "Boss, look at these horses, they are all good horses that are good at running."

He Lingchuan didn't pay attention at first, after all, Xinhuang today is not short of cattle and horses. Shan Youjun reminded him, and he took a closer look. These three horses are sleek, with long legs, willow-leaf ears, broad chests and thick muscles, and bright eyes.

This is different from the horses pulling carts.

One of them was digging the ground, Shan Youjun glanced at it and said: "These three are war horses, and the horseshoes and horseshoes have just been repaired. I have been a ranger in the north, so I won't be wrong."

Those three merchants, do all of them have such good horses?

Shan Youjun said hurriedly: "We have traveled all the way north to here, and we have only seen a few groups of merchants? As soon as we arrived in Xinhuang, they happened to be here."

The central and northern parts of Xiazhou are depressed, and merchants can't make money, so they don't take this route very often. He Lingchuan followed the grain transport team to the north, and he really didn't see a few caravans along the way, and there were not even a few bulk merchants.

He took a breath lightly: "I know, let's go back after a few walks outside."

The two took a few steps and there was a light flashing behind them. He Lingchuan looked back and saw one of the three merchants came out, holding his belly with one hand and said: "I want to go to the toilet too. Haven't you found it yet?"

He Lingchuan pointed to the back of the restaurant: "I can't find it, didn't you say it's behind the noodle shop?"

"Come with me." The merchant said and went into the alley behind the restaurant.

It was already dark, and the residents didn't turn on the lights, so there were dark alleys everywhere. This alley was lined with low walls less than seven feet high on both sides, but the trees were very tall, and it was cool during the day, not to mention that it blocked the light even more at night.

The wind whistled, the leaves rustled, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy, just like a horror movie.

At this time and in this place, something must have happened.

After turning two corners, He Lingchuan asked the merchant who was walking fast: "How long will it take? Why is the toilet so far away?"

"It's almost there, just ahead."

"You seem to be familiar with this area?" He Lingchuan stopped and smiled, "Do you often come here to squat?"

The merchant also turned around: "Are you going or not? I'm anxious."

He Lingchuan whispered to Shan Youjun, but the merchant couldn't hear it at all. He Lingchuan then spoke: "I don't think you are merchants. The army may not have those good horses."

The merchant scratched his head: "I don't think you are either. How can there be merchants going north at this time?" Then his face tightened and he shouted:

"Do it!"

He put down his scratching hand, but his wrist turned instead, and with a light "swoosh", the sleeve arrow shot out of the secret box went straight to He Lingchuan's face.

He had good eyesight and could tell that He Lingchuan was in a higher position among the two.

This falling out came without warning, and the alley was dark, so who could notice this hidden arrow?

At the same time, a person jumped out from behind the low wall on both sides and rushed behind He Lingchuan and Shan Youjun.

From the beginning, they had the idea of ​​tricking people into coming in and getting slaughtered.

He Lingchuan was well prepared and dodged the hidden arrow by leaning sideways. The fragrant dumpling hidden in his left hand had already fallen to the ground.

An indescribable stench instantly covered the narrow alley.

Coincidentally, the wind stopped at this time, and the smell suddenly became so strong that it could not be made any stronger.

He Lingchuan and Shan Youjun both held their breath, but the three opponents were flustered by the sudden stink bomb. The merchant who had led He Lingchuan into the alley earlier couldn't help but bend over and vomit, and the two people who climbed over the wall subconsciously covered their mouths and noses before they could stand firmly.

This is a natural physiological reaction.

The whisper that He Lingchuan said to Shan Youjun just now was only two words:

Hold your breath!

The other party wanted to trick them, so why didn't they want to trick the other party?

The man who was retching knew something was wrong as soon as he bent down. He was about to hold his breath and draw his sword, but He Lingchuan raised his wrist and shot a hidden arrow to hurt him.

He got the purple gold sleeve arrow specially customized by Li Fubo the day before he set out, and today was his first show.

The special equipment made by Master Li was not at the same level as the common goods used by this man. As soon as the other party straightened up, he felt

His balls exploded with an arrow!

He Lingchuan's hard training must have some effect. Besides, how could his accuracy be bad at such a close distance?

The merchant couldn't stand still, and he fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in an instant, screaming heartbreakingly.

But He Lingchuan's viciousness was more than that? The sleeve arrow had a rope at the back.

He just pulled it lightly, and snapped it--

It broke.

The man didn't scream and fainted immediately.

This kind of hidden arrow hurting people felt so good, and the military review hall in Panlong City didn't allow him to use such a lethal weapon at all. He Lingchuan exhaled and turned to find the next opponent, the enemy who was fighting with Shan Youjun.

This man not only responded very quickly, immediately suppressed his discomfort with the stench and joined the battle, but was also very brave. He fought Shan Youjun head-on for two times, and sparks flew in the darkness.

He Lingchuan kicked him, and when he saw the gap in his old sword style, he kicked him directly in the ribs!

With his kicking power, even a copper cake would be kicked into a round shape, let alone a human body?

The man felt pain in his ribs, his body was numb, his eyes went black, and he almost died.

Shan Youjun made another move and took the opportunity to chop off his head.

The last enemy rushed over with the water-dividing spear, but was easily blocked by He Lingchuan. He saw that his two companions had fallen, but his opponent was not injured at all, so he turned around and ran away without lingering on the fight.

Among the three, his combat power was not the highest, but he was certainly the fastest. He rushed out two steps, supported the wall with one hand, crossed the courtyard, and turned into another alley.

He arrived at Xinhuang earlier than these two people and was more familiar with the terrain.

When I took the time to look back, it seemed like no one was chasing me.

Hurry back and report the news, there's something troubling here. When the troops arrive, he will cut off these guys' heads and kick them as balls.

But just as he was about to run away, wind suddenly blew up behind his head, and a knife flew from the sky, piercing his heart directly.

It goes in from the back chest and comes out from the front chest, making a double penetration.

The man staggered forward two steps before falling to the ground and dying.

He was already in the alley, how could he hit the target with this sword? He looked in disbelief.

He Lingchuan recovered the purple-gold sleeve arrow first, and then followed and drew his sword.

This arrow is stained with dirt and cannot be used again for the time being. Shan Youjun, who was following behind, was also a little surprised. He had just seen his boss throw out the long knife, but the enemy had already climbed over the wall and walked away. As a result, the knife turned around in mid-air and changed directions on its own to chase the person.

He had heard of arrows, flying knives or other magical weapons that could chase people, but he had not heard that long knives also had such special effects.

He Lingchuan pulled out the sword from the back of the enemy who was still staring at death, wiped the blood off his clothes, and sheathed the sword.

Of course, the characteristic of slashing the fleeing enemy through the chest comes from the characteristic of the Fusheng Sword that "one throw is sure to hit". He Lingchuan felt that this was better than archery.

"Go back." The enemy didn't even spare the two of them who went to the latrine, let alone He Chunhua.

However, He Lingchuan is not too worried. His father also has cultivation skills and a lot of protective weapons. It will not be easy for others to deal with him.

The two of them hurried back. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the alley, there was a loud noise from the east, and the fire lit up the entire Xinhuang!

This explosion was so powerful that the ground beneath everyone's feet shook violently.

He Lingchuan's face even changed color:

The restaurant where the county magistrate hosted a banquet for Mo Zhe Jingxuan seems to be in that direction!

In the noodle shop, He Chunhua and two merchants were chatting, both of them were a little absent-minded.

There was a sudden explosion, and the store owner who happened to pick up the basin immediately spilled the water. He held on to the pillar to avoid falling.

He Chunhua, Mao Tao and Jiao Tai subconsciously turned their heads upon hearing the sound.

The two merchants then grabbed their weapons and launched an attack.

However, they had just attacked three feet in front of He Chunhua when a thin light barrier suddenly appeared in front of them, with fine patterns on the surface, like snake skin.

Their attacks immediately became sluggish, as if they were stuck in mud.

This is He Chunhua's protective magic weapon that automatically takes effect.

Jiao Tai knew something was wrong as soon as he turned around, shouted "Dare you" and rushed to protect the Lord.

He Chunhua threw forward the red silk thread wrapped in his hand, and it expanded into a snare in mid-air, wrapping an enemy in it.

Sun Fuping's magic weapon is always useful.

At this time, the windshield curtain suddenly lifted, and everyone was startled, but they saw He Lingchuan and two people rushing in, saying at the same time: "Three of them were dealt with outside!"

There was no suspense next. The five members of our party forced the other party to fight and beat him to the ground in minutes.

While Jiao Tai beat him half to death, He Chunhua had already lifted the net on the ground and said to the prisoner inside: "Tell me clearly, what's going on outside?"

The man laughed loudly: "Your chief officer is going to heaven! My brothers are here and I want to take you with them!"

He Chunhua and his son looked at each other, and then asked, "How do you know when the grain transportation team will pass by here?" The grain transportation team notified Xinhuang to prepare, only one day in advance. These Xunzhou rangers were patrolling everywhere in the central and northern part of Xiazhou. The area was so vast that they should not have received the news so quickly.

The man smiled grimly and didn't answer.

"He wants to buy time." He Lingchuan saw through his intention at a glance, "Let's go back to the camp!"

Jiao Tai wiped the prisoner's neck with a knife and ignored the trembling store owner who was hugging the pillar. He Lingchuan did not forget to throw down a dozen copper coins as food money. The five people ran out of the restaurant, untied the horses of the three Xunzhou spies, and flew on.

…

Five people and three horses ran forward less than a hundred feet when they heard the sound of hoofbeats:

A team is coming from the south. From the sound of it, there are at least two to three hundred riders!

"Drive!" He Chunhua's face changed color and he urged his horse to run quickly.

The horses turned off the main street and headed straight for the grain team camp. He Lingchuan turned around and saw a swarm of cavalry behind him.

These people pulled apart their coats and cloaks to reveal the military uniforms underneath. Even if He Lingchuan had never seen that style, he was sure that the person coming was Xunzhou Ranger.

Apparently these guys have been lurking outside Xinhuang for a long time. When the explosions occur in the town, they will rush in to kill people and steal food!
