Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 162: Chasing
A sharp shout sounded, and a horse rode out from the crowd.
Immediately there was a tough middle-aged man with an intimidating aura. He wiped the rain off his face, looked at Hansheng with a cold expression, and kept looking at him.
Hansheng lowered his head, just waiting for these people to leave. Unexpectedly, his name was called out, and he turned pale with fright. He raised his head and Weiwei responded: "It's Xiaosheng. I wonder what you mean?"
The middle-aged man gave a sinister laugh and said, "It's fine if it's you! Come with me to the Imperial City's Army and Horse Department!" As he said that, he waved his hand without any doubt, and two people jumped off the horse beside them. To capture Han Sheng.
Hansheng's face was earth-colored, and he was shocked and at a loss. He suddenly jumped up, stood in front of the carriage, and shouted: "I am a scholar with a great reputation. You can't arrest me for no reason. I...I can't leave!"
Hansheng's hysterical appearance made the two soldiers who were approaching stop in their tracks.
Immediately the middle-aged man sneered: "The painting boat was demolished last night, and no one on the merchant water was spared. The old bustard was even killed, and a woman named Ruyan was robbed. And those who were related to these people... It's you!"
Hansheng's eyes shone brightly, Ruyan was indeed not dead! He became more and more crazy: "Why is it me? I am a scholar with no strength, how can I do these things? I won't leave!"
The middle-aged man looked at Hansheng with disdain and snorted coldly: "Of course you don't have this ability. Yesterday you threw yourself into the water and were rescued by someone, and you asked this person to help you rescue Ruyan. Now, that Ruyan is being rescued by someone It's a pity that the noise was too loud and the inner city was disturbed. Go back with me honestly and hand over the man. Otherwise, I'm afraid you, a scholar, can't bear the consequences."
The middle-aged man's words fell on Han Sheng's ears, like thunder, and he collapsed weakly in the car. I just wanted to see Ruyan, but who could have imagined that Lin Yi would cause such a big disaster. His behavior on the shore that day was seen by others, and it was not surprising that he was implicated in the matter. I'm afraid that we will never see each other again.
The driver was so frightened that he jumped out of the carriage, squatted on the roadside and held his head.
The two soldiers stretched out their hands to capture Han Sheng. Unexpectedly, the weak scholar who had been stunned suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He jumped up and screamed, running around, shouting: "I can't leave." I want to see Ruyan, I can’t leave..."
More than ten horses have surrounded them tightly, how can Hansheng walk. The soldiers on horseback sneered and looked at the crazy scholar in front of them with amusement.
"Take him away!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly. The soldiers agreed and were about to drive their horses forward to capture Han Sheng when a cold voice sounded not far away——
"stop--!"
Everyone looked back in surprise and saw a young man in gray robe walking on the drizzling road. This man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a delicate face, and his hands behind his back, as if he were walking leisurely in the rain, with an indifferent expression. It's just that his hair is moving gently in the wind, his behavior is free and easy, and his demeanor is leisurely. What is surprising is that, as if the raindrops were spiritual, they flew aside before reaching the young man's side.
"Brother Lin——! You are here. I want to see Ruyan and I won't leave!" Hansheng, who was running around in a panic, felt something strange around him. Suddenly he saw Lin Yi arriving and ran over in surprise.
Everyone felt that the visitor was strange, and when they saw it, they did not stop him. Come to think of it, the real master has arrived!
Lin Yi saw Han Sheng's dilemma in mid-air, so he flew down and appeared, just in time to stop the attacking soldiers. He nodded towards Hansheng to express comfort and protected him behind his back.
Facing these soldiers who were chasing them all the way, Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged and he said loudly: "Everyone, please help yourself, I won't send you away!"
The middle-aged man on the horse was startled when he heard the words, looked around at his subordinates, made sure he heard correctly, and sneered. The soldiers also sneered indifferently and looked at this young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old with interest. After coming all the way, the people and horses were a little tired, and looking at this silly boy's jokes was a good way to relieve their fatigue.
"I was a crazy scholar just now, and now you are a hysterical mad boy. Humph! Who do you think you are? Could it be that you ruined the boat party last night? Whether it was you or not, since you jumped out, Don't even think about going out. Take them all away -" the middle-aged man smiled ferociously and waved his arms.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "I destroyed the boat, and I saved the people. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
All the soldiers looked startled, and then all of them looked happy. The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold, and he slowly drew out the single-handed sword from his waist. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I didn't expect this case to be settled like this. Boy, you have the guts!"
"Haha, take this kid back and sentence him to death. The case is over, and we can live happily for a few days!"
"Including this coachman, one more person can also increase the reward!"
"Haha, that's right!"
All the soldiers looked at Lin Yi, as if they had seen the reward money, the beautiful woman and the wine, and they didn't realize that their life had come to an end.
Glancing at the shivering coachman on the side of the road, Lin Yi sighed softly and said, "I didn't want to kill anyone... Now, none of you can leave!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Yi stretched out his hand a little, and a wisp of wind shot out of the air, and the driver fell down in response. Without waiting for anyone to be surprised, he stretched out his hand to grab Hansheng and threw him into the carriage.
Han Sheng felt his eyes go dark and lost consciousness.
When everyone was dazzled, Lin Yi's right hand burst out with light, and a long sword appeared across the sky with a chilling feeling.
When the soldiers saw that the situation was not good and drew their weapons, they saw that the young man raised his eyebrows and looked cold. He took light steps, one step, two steps, and he was three feet off the ground.
Before everyone could be surprised, the long sword suddenly shone with a dazzling light, like a meteor, like the Milky Way, and attacked quickly. There was a loud clanging sound, and the weapons in the hands of the people were broken into pieces; then, half of their bodies flew up, blood red like a waterfall.
More than ten soldiers fell down in an instant.
The rest of them thought of running, but it was too late!
As the horses neighed, the sword light passed by, blood and flesh flew everywhere, heads and arms were broken, and no one could escape three steps, and they became lonely souls in the rain.
The middle-aged man was also sweating profusely, and he turned his horse to run. A wisp of wind from his finger made a harsh sound, which was the last sound he heard in this world. This person fell headfirst under the horse, still opening his panicked eyes. The blood on his forehead, mixed with the rain, dyed the official road below him red.
Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, Lin Yi was as heavy as water. He exhaled lightly, hesitated, and swept away all the silver from the soldiers. Then, he threw the driver lying on the side of the road into the car, and drove the carriage forward.
The carriage passed the mountains in front, and Lin Yi unblocked the acupuncture points for Handan Sheng and the driver.
Handan Sheng and the driver came to their senses, and they were uneasy because of their guesses. Killing officials is a disaster that will destroy the family. If you don't kill officials, how can you get away? However, the two looked at Lin Yi who was calm and composed, and they didn't dare to think too much, nor did they dare to ask too much.
After giving the two instructions, Lin Yi walked up the mountain alone. When the two people behind him disappeared, he didn't touch the ground, turned into a faint figure, and went straight to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
