Chapter 15 - Surge

Bang bang bang! The arrow shot past Xiao Letian's face and one of the arrows pierced through his hat, causing the cap to fly out with the false braid.

"Sir, be careful …" Sima Yun pounced on Xiao Letian like a tiger and pressed him onto the roof, causing the tiles to fall down with a crackling sound.

"Who's on the roof?" There was a cry of alarm from the house, but then a sharp arrow shot through the window shut the room up, and even the lights went out.

Xiao Hexin and the other two were veterans of battle, and from the cunning angle of the enemy arrows, they could tell that the people who were shooting were experts. Without saying a word, he jumped off the roof with Xiao Letian and sprinted along the dark alley.

In the darkness, Xiao Letian had no idea how many people were surrounding the four of them. He could only hear rustling footsteps not too far away from him.

The arrows were shot very sparsely, but they were especially regular. One could feel that the enemy was continuously pressuring the four of them. Clearly, they were trying to force them into the encirclement.

"Protect the two of you mister. I'll go out and barge in and lure the enemies away …" As he spoke, the young lad called Wang Huaiyuan jumped up onto the wall and rushed in the direction of the arrow. Very soon, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. "Run, it's the Eight-Flagged Dog …"

"This is bad!" Could it be the army of Xi Ling? "These Tattoo are hard to deal with …" Xiao Hexin moved his body and rushed forward in the direction Wang Huaiyuan disappeared in.

"Sir, climb on my back, don't make a sound, don't shout even if you're injured …" Sima Yun, who was left behind, grabbed Xiao Letian and carried him to the back. His legs moved as fast as a horse's, passing through the dark alleyway.

At this time, Xiao Letian's left hand clenched into a fist and fiercely stuffed his mouth shut. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and the danger he had met was far more dangerous than the night at Mountain Temple.

Xiao Letian knew that the bandits in the Great Qing Dynasty were even more reasonable than the Eight Flag Army. Even though the people who held power in the Qing Dynasty called them the Man Han Family, that was only for the big landlords of the Chinese Officer.

He touched the Colt Revolver in his pocket. The ice-cold metal fellow caused Xiao Letian to regain some of his courage, but when he thought about how there were only three bullets inside, his heart turned cold again.

"Don't worry, sir. Even if I have to give up my life, I will still protect you. Your highness and the brothers on the mountain are waiting for you …" Sima Yun used up almost all of his energy and sprinted along the dark path.

At this time, in a private room on the third floor of the Liuhe Restaurant, the biggest restaurant in Yi County, the Second Master of the West Tomb, Lian Lian, was sitting in front of a window looking at the night scene of Yi County's lights mixed with darkness and darkness.

"Liu County Order …" Second Master Lian Lian pulled on Baji's special long voice and pointed at the figure in the distance with contempt. "Look at me, the Banner [1], I have the skills and skill of a good horse, I think I am on par with the elites when I first entered the stage?"

"What second master Lian Lian says is true. The Eight Flags Wu Yong has been passed down through generations without end. This is a blessing from the clear, a blessing from the heavens …" Liu County Order cupped his hands in greeting, looking like he was about to hit a thousand.

"Sigh!" I don't understand either, why isn't the Southern Goosebumps letting us, the Eight Flag Man, fight them? They must attack Ceng Titou and the other brothers! Divide the credit to the Chinese for nothing... Pui! "This damned melon seeds are stinky. How the hell do you serve someone who lacks eyes …"

Before he could finish his sentence, a soldier rushed out. With a series of clangs, he dragged a skinny, trembling man over and threw him onto the ground.

"Please spare me, second master Lian. Please spare me, I'll change it for you now …" "No, no, no. I'll slap my mouth first, I'll slap my mouth …" The skinny man was the owner of the building. He had slapped himself so hard that his face had swelled up. With three slaps, blood could be seen on the corner of his mouth.

Just as the boss was about to maim himself, a young woman with small feet walked up and timidly brought a black wooden tray in front of Second Master Lian. Underneath the red silk were many small silver ingots.

The woman's soft and gentle voice was heard, "Master Er, my master is just a wooden person, he doesn't know how to serve. Look how long it's been since he sent over Second Master's subordinates' night rewards …" We know it will be difficult for Second Master to exterminate the bandits tonight. "Come, let me boil a bath for second master, a proper horse trotter …"

A woman was the boss's concubine. She had always been a half-hidden bitch, and her ability to coax men was a complete set. Seeing that, that old pervert, Ning Xi, immediately lost her temper.

"Hehehe …" "That's enough, stop standing in front of me. The big boss of Liuhe Restaurant is not as observant as the people in his own room. Go and arrange a banquet …"

Just as Second Master Lian took a sniff of the horseshoe soil and was about to enjoy himself, a loud sound came from the stairs outside the door. "Reporting …" The Braveheart Battalion surrounded the two black clothed men. They are currently engaged in a fierce battle … "

"Reporting..." The bandits were extremely fierce, and six soldiers were already injured … " The messenger at the front had not left when a second one came running.

"Hug …" "The bandits rushed out of the encirclement, their bodies covered with wounds as they fled towards the south of the city …"

"F * ck!" "Useless! You can't even stop two bandits?" "What use is there to raise you all in the Great Qing Dynasty …" After saying that, he kicked over the soldiers in front of him. "Seal off four doors, increase the security on the city walls, and dig three feet into the ground for me …"

Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan were already slain and their bodies were covered in blood. Back then, the North Guard s sent by the Heavenly Kingdom were all elites among elites, and a majority of them were famous figures in the southern martial arts world. This kind of person had more advantages in battles, battles, battles in the night, and complex terrain.

If it was daytime, even if the Western Tomb Protectors had formed a dozen men to surround them, the two of them wouldn't have any chance of survival. However, in the chaos of the night, once they fought with the Eight Flag Lords, they actually did have a chance of survival.

Just as Xiao Hexin and Yue Shan were running for their lives, Xiao Letian and Sima Yun were not that lucky. Although a majority of the enemies had been lured away, Sima Yun could feel that there were now four experts with bows in their hands, and they were getting closer and closer to him.

Xiao Letian could clearly feel that Sima Yun's speed was getting slower and slower, the arrows behind him would occasionally stop him.

"Put me down. If you put me down, I'll drag you down to death …" Xiao Letian struggled to get down from the ground, but Sima Yun's arms were still as hard as steel, and he couldn't move them at all. But this time, Sima Yun did not insist. Instead, he stopped and placed Xiao Letian in the darkness.

"Sir, you can hide here. I'll go and pester them …" After that, Sima Yun turned and was about to rush back, but Xiao Letian grabbed his wrist, "Stop right there! "What happened to your leg …"

Using the weak starlight, Xiao Letian saw a feather arrow piercing into Sima Yun's left leg's calves. A faint smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

Sima Yun straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian: "This subordinate is useless, I can only escort the Military Advisor here. Once the Military Advisor has finished writing, don't forget to burn a book for Sima Yun on the Road to River Styx." After he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand flashed, and the arrow shaft that was exposed through the flesh was cut off.

"I'll live on first. I can live without this world. I can't live without you, mister …" After which, she charged forward. But they never would have thought that Xiao Letian, who looked like a weak scholar, would actually grab onto his arm and use all her strength to hold him back.

"Am I your advisor? Do you believe me? Listen to me, there's still a way out... "Listen to me …" Xiao Letian lowered her voice and spoke with an unquestionable tone, which stunned even Sima Yun.

In the darkness, the four eight-banner archers slowly drew closer. Before leaving, they had received orders from Second Master Lian to capture a living pretty boy, in particular. Therefore, their arrows were only a threat along the way. They only pushed them towards a dead end, but did not actually kill them.

And now, an unbelievable scene appeared before the four of them. One of the bandits who had just fled leaned against the wall and bled. It looked like he was completely exhausted. As for the other young man, he was holding his empty hands above his head as he kept shouting.

"We surrendered, we surrendered …" I'm a scholar, I don't know martial arts, my hands are empty, I'm not a threat … "This guy is too tired, he doesn't have any more threats …" From time to time, Xiao Letian would raise his hands and pat them in the air, proving that he really had nothing in his hands.

The four of them had long since heard about it from the Manager Liu of the Guangde. The bandit who had seduced Ning Xi's second master and concubine this time was just a useless white boy who had no martial arts skills at all. Today, he saw that not only did this brat not have any martial arts, he was also a weak and cowardly person.

"Haha, don't waste the credit you gave us for free. This time, Second Master Lian is happy. Our brothers should get at least twenty taels for each of us …" After saying that, the four of them took large strides to surround him.

Just as the four of them were three steps away from Wuchang, Sima Yun who was leaning on the wall suddenly unleashed his strength, "hyacinth, I'll kill all of you …" After saying that, he took out his dagger and rushed forward with a limp.

"Hahaha, you dead cripple still dare to attack? This lord will let your two hands do the same and I'll also flip you over …" Before the kid could finish his words, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Xiao Letian, who was looking down at him a moment ago, suddenly had a sinister look. His right hand moved as fast as lightning and took out the Colt Revolver.

"You forced me to do this …" Xiao Letian roared, and used his index finger to pull the last three bullets in a second.

Three steps. At that moment, the distance between friend and foe was only three steps. This distance didn't even need to be targeted. As long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to hit their enemies.

This was not the first time Xiao Letian killed someone, his hands didn't shake at all now, the three bullets accurately hit the hearts of the three soldiers, the force of the impact caused the three soldiers to retreat two or three steps, his hand covered the wound as he looked at the small firearm with disbelief in his eyes.

It was a pity that there were only three bullets, but there were four enemies. Although Xiao Letian and his group had planned very well to let Sima Yun take care of the last soldier, Xiao Letian had underestimated the power of the arrow wound.

"AHH!" The surviving soldier released a beast-like roar and kicked Sima Yun to the corner of the wall, then pounced over like a fierce tiger. In a flash, both his hands firmly grabbed onto Xiao Letian's neck.

"Die …" "Go to hell …" The crazy soldier made Xiao Letian roll his eyes. Click, click, click. When Xiao Letian's consciousness was about to disappear, he still kept pulling the trigger, but unfortunately, there were no more bullets that could save him.
