Royal Road

Chapter 33 Cardinals and Cicadas

Won! Liang Feng excitedly smashed the fence in front of him with his fist, and they won!

Yi Yan’s performance is simply better than he thought. This is just a team of 20 people. If it is replaced by two hundred people, how about two thousand people? There is blood raging in the chest. This is a troop built according to his own vision, but if there is no outstanding commander, it will be no use!

And he chose the best one!

“Order to stop the drum.” Liang Feng said to the sentry behind him.

Xun Ji had already stood back to his original position, looking at the battlefield below dumbly, without hearing Liang Feng’s voice at all. Waited for a long time and didn’t wait for a message? Liang Feng turned his head and glanced at the sluggish sentry, and said nothing. He walked to the fence and shouted at the servant who was still playing drums below: “Stop the drums!”

After beating for so long, the servant had already softened his waist and numbness, but when he heard this sound, he was so scared that he almost lost the drumstick: “Lang, Lord! Has the part been defeated?”

“No, it’s a victory!” Liang Feng stood upright, shaking the courtyard, “The triumph was a big victory and defeated the bandits!”

what? In the courtyard, everyone was taken aback, and then, a commotion slipped through the crowd. Xun Ji finally reacted at this moment. In other words, the trilogy was eliminated. He knelt on the ground with a grunt and shouted: “The triumph is great! The host is mighty!!!”

Hearing such a voice, the doubt disappeared, and the others shouted in excitement: “The master is mighty! The master is mighty!”

Shouts reverberated in the courtyard. Looking at the excited smiling faces of those people, Liang Feng also burst into smiles. Reaching out and patted the green bamboo standing there, he said, “It’s time to go.”

Lu Zhu just woke up like a dream, grabbed Liang Feng’s sleeve, and whimpered: “Lang Jun! Triumph!”

“Yes, we won.” Liang Feng smiled and said to Xun Ji who was still kneeling on the ground, “Go to the village to find A Liang, and let him bring some young men to see me.”

After all, he stepped downstairs. The battle is over, but it takes time to finish. I don’t know if there are any casualties in the part. There are also cleaning up the battlefield, driving out the ripped soldiers, burying the dead bodies, finding out the origin of the opponent… everything is inconspicuous.

Seeing the figure of Liang Feng slowly coming downstairs, Lu Zhu reacted and quickly followed up: “Lang Jun, be careful with your step…”

A fierce pain came from the front door, and Tian Chang struggled to get up from the ground. The whip was too ruthless, one of his eyes could no longer see, and a few teeth fell out. He reached out and touched the back of his head, and his hands were covered with blood. However, at this moment, he didn’t care about the injuries on his body. Zhang Hun is dead? ! Died under the hands of those newcomers in Liang Mansion?

Aren’t they only twenty people? Why is it so strong? ! Is it possible that the diseased seedlings have applied what method? !

The bandit soldiers who were originally aggressive were dispersing and fleeing, Tian Chang was just stunned for a moment, and he even crawled towards his mount and rushed forward. He can’t stay here, don’t say the bandits are panicking, they are likely to hurt themselves. If by any chance the Liang’s family soldiers caught it, it would be a place to die!

He can’t die! He still has to live!

Although he was covered in wounds, Tian Chang’s movements were surprisingly swift. After a while, he stepped onto the donkey, and desperately whipped up his whip: “Hurry up! Hurry up!”

The donkey screamed, and ran away from the distance. However, it’s okay not to escape. After running like this, Yi Yan immediately saw the fish that slipped through the net. He did not hesitate to urge the horses and chase them.

Zhang Hun’s mount was a good horse, with four hoofs flying like a flying horse, and soon he got close. Yi Yan’s eyes were extraordinary. When he saw the rickety figure curled up on the donkey in front and the scattered white hair, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he waved his iron axe.

The axe screamed and hit the donkey’s leg severely. The donkey screamed and crashed to the ground, and fell to the ground together with the people on their backs.

Tian Chang only felt the world spin, followed by a heart-piercing pain in his leg. I wonder if the bones were broken. The donkey who was struggling to get up was overwhelmed with breath, he screamed, “Help! Help!”

A shadow galloped to his side, Tian Chang suddenly raised his head, and saw that the ugly-faced Jie Ren was looking at him murderously. With a buzzing in his head, he cried out, “General, General, please spare me! I know Zhang Hun The trick, he still wants to harm the lord, I know…”

Before he finished speaking, a short gun fell from the sky and pierced his chest. Tian Chang’s body trembled, and immediately lost his breath.

Yi Yan did not fail to look at the corpse. He pulled the rein in his hand and pinched the horse’s belly fiercely. The handsome horse under him ran toward the Liang’s mansion like a sharp arrow.

The old man Tian Chang is in the bandit team, he wants to harm the lord! The gray-blue eyes almost bleeded, and while riding the horse wildly, Yi Yan’s gaze fell on the high observation platform in the courtyard, but at this moment, the red and beautiful figure was no longer on the stage.

“Why haven’t people arrived yet? Haven’t they been discovered?” Sitting under the bushes in the corner, Wang Hu looked around nervously, fearing that he would be picked out, and killed him as a gangster.

Wang Bao comforted: “This has just ringed the bell, how can it be so fast? Brother, don’t panic, listen to this movement, there will never be fewer thieves coming, everyone must have gone to the front yard, who will pay attention here? Just wait, the credit will be done…”

The two were talking when there was a sudden noise on the courtyard wall. Wang Bao said hey: “This is not here!”

Sure enough, I saw a burly man climbed over the courtyard wall and landed on the ground lightly. After a while, another thinner also jumped down. The movements of the two were indescribable. Do this good hand. The Wang brothers hurriedly greeted him: “But the hero from Qingyang Village?”

The burly man snorted coldly: “You two are the brothers of the Wang family? Go and lead the way. If you can’t hold the head of the Liang Palace, I will take you!”

Unexpectedly, the people who came to look so cruel, the Wang brothers immediately persuaded him, Wang Bao bowed his head and flattered: “Don’t worry, the hero, the bell has struck, I think the owner is busy facing the enemy… Oh no, it’s the guard against the heroes. No one in the village will pay attention to us.”

“That’s right, please come here from the hero.” Wang Hu didn’t dare to neglect, stepped cautiously, and dived towards the main courtyard with two bandits.

The path they chose was quite good, and even half of them didn’t run into it. When he reached the high wall of the inner house, Wang Hu pulled open a pile of grass in the corner of the wall, revealing a hole the size of a dog hole, and said with a smile: “Here is in disrepair for a long time, and there is a small door. …”

“Get away!” The thinner man pushed Wang Hu away without disdain. He slid into the hole. After a short while, he only heard the sound from the yard, “Aniu, inside. no one!”

The burly one got through the hole with great effort, and when he came out, there was really no one. This side seems to be a vacant courtyard, and there is a corridor beside it, I don’t know where it extends. There is no acquaintance to lead such a big house, they really can’t find a place.

Wang Bao also went through the dog hole at this time, patted the dust on his body, and explained: “The courtyard where the owner lives is to the west. I will take you there.”

He was about to lead the way. Unexpectedly, the burly man stopped abruptly: “Wait, why are there drums coming?”

At this time, a few people discovered that the harsh bells did not know when they disappeared, and they were replaced by roars. Wang Bao’s reaction was not slow, and he immediately said, “I’m afraid it’s from the watchtower! Is it a battle?”

How long has it been since it has been fighting? Could it be a bandit…Ah no, this group of strong men is so powerful?

The burly man frowned and said sternly: “Take us there quickly and catch the one with the surname Liang as soon as possible!”

Wang Bao shrank his neck, not daring to neglect, and led the two of them to the main courtyard. Not to mention, I didn’t bump into half a person along the way, it seemed that the servants and maids had disappeared. After finally touching the main courtyard, looking at the empty courtyard, the thin man said angrily: “Where is the surname Liang?!”

“I… I don’t know…” Wang Bao was also stunned. At the critical moment when this kind of bandit attacked, the sick child didn’t stay honestly in the main courtyard, where would he hide?

Suddenly, the sound of the drums that had been ringing ceaselessly ceased. Instead, there was a faint cheering from the front yard, just like a victory. Not to mention that it takes only a quarter of an hour from the sound of the drum to the stop of the drum. Even if the two sides really fight, will the bandits of hundreds of people beat the family soldiers of only 20?

What exactly is going on? The burly man asked again: “Are you sure this is the courtyard of the Patriarch?”

“Our brothers have been a nursing home for a few years. How could we admit that we were wrong?” Wang Hu shrank his neck. “Two heroes, now the place is here. I’m afraid the Patriarch will come back later. Can you give us a brief introduction? Back down?”

The two bandits looked at each other, and the burly man said, “Go, be careful not to let others find out.”

With this sentence, the Wanghu and Wangbao brothers immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Today’s situation is really weird. They don’t want to stay here anymore. They might as well sneak back to the farm and wait for the moment when Liang’s Mansion is breached.

Cautiously saluted the two mountain bandits again. The two turned around and wanted to walk outside the courtyard. They hadn’t walked a few steps before, and both big hands covered their mouths at the same time, and the cold knife edge kissed their necks. , Before even the struggle had time to struggle, the two lucky guys returned to heaven.

“Be careful, don’t let the clothes stick to blood.” The thin man warned, “Hurry up and change your clothes, and wait for the surname Liang to come back.”

“What are these two guys going to do?”

“Throw it into the bushes aside.”

Soon, the clothes on the corpse were stripped off and put on the two mountain bandits. Hidden the corpse, the two stood at the gate of the courtyard, bowed their heads, and stood there like two conscientious guards.

Just as he walked up and down the stairs, and watched the battle with all his attention for a long time, Liang Feng was somewhat exhausted. After getting off the watchtower, he didn’t wander around and walked directly to the main courtyard. After a while, Yi Yan should be able to clean up the battlefield, and return to life at that time, so naturally he can make other arrangements. What he needs most now is to walk back to the room with dignity and appease the fear of those servants.

Lu Zhu followed Liang Feng closely, and wanted to come up to help him from time to time. Liang Feng can only smile and say it’s OK, let her feel at ease. Just like this, passing through the two courtyards under the gaze of everyone, Liang Feng slowly walked to the courtyard where he lived, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard door, he stopped.

He smelled a familiar smell. The smell of blood is not strong, but it is very clear. Less than five steps in front of him, there were two servants standing in the style of Liang Mansion guards, but the clothes were not neat, and some dark brown marks could be seen on the plackets. The two of them had their heads drooping very low, their bodies half-turned, and a hand was placed behind their waist.

The situation is wrong! Liang Feng did not hesitate, and violently pushed the green bamboo behind him: “Go!”

His voice was not small, as if he was awakened by these words, the two men rushed forward at the same time, holding the dazzling short knife in their hands. Lu Zhu didn’t react at all, staggered and retreated outside the courtyard. Liang Feng stretched his sleeves, stopped before the courtyard gate, and roared: “Go!”

His current body can’t stop the two at all, but no matter what, he is also the head of the Liang family. These deliberately disguised gangsters should not directly kill him. But they may not be merciful to Luzhu!

Lu Zhu opened her eyes wide and watched the two fierce guys pounce on Lang Jun. She only hesitated for a moment, and then ran out. She can’t save Lang Jun alone! Yi Yan, where is Yi Yan? !

The huge momentum made Liang Feng stagger, and he did not fall to the ground. A strong arm strangled his neck, and the cold blade reached the vital part of his throat. At the same time, a voice rang from his side: “Let the little girl escape!”

“Don’t worry about so much, hold this sick seed first!” said the person holding Liang Feng.

“Tsk! I didn’t expect to be able to see through it again, why would it be so troublesome?” The culprit tweeted and turned around. After seeing Liang Feng’s face clearly, he suddenly opened his eyes, “This sick seed is not bad!”

“It doesn’t matter what he looks like! Hurry up and take it out and give it to the general!” Aniu snorted, and it was really annoying that he was unfavorable when he came out.

Aluo coughed dryly: “Yes. I will hand it over to the general later, it is not the general’s final say how to deal with it…”

Until then, the Venus in front of Liang Feng slowly receded, and after a breath of breath, he asked: “You want to tie me?”

“Yes! If you want to survive, hand over Liang Mansion obediently, our general said that if you don’t know how to leave you a whole corpse!” Aniu turned the handle of the knife, sneered and said with a threat in his tone.

“The bandits outside have just been defeated.” Liang Feng said calmly without changing his face.

“What?!” When these words came out, both of them were shocked. How long has it been since they were defeated? How can it be? !

“It is indeed defeated. If you take me out at this moment, you will only be blocked by the triumphant return. How can your life be left by then?” Liang Feng slowed down and softly persuaded, “It is better to take some Money, run away early.”

“Nonsense!” Ah Niu’s blade pierced and hit Liang Feng’s neck. “The general has brought hundreds of people. How can you lose if you lose?!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can check it out.” Liang Feng tilted his head slightly, as if avoiding the dagger around his neck.

His voice was peaceful, his temperament was calm, and he couldn’t see the appearance of being hijacked at all. Could it be that what really went wrong before?

Aluo pretended to be calm and coldly snorted: “You want to take the opportunity to escape? Even if the general is defeated, as long as you are in our hands, those family soldiers don’t obediently put down their weapons?”

“Hold me to flee? I’m dying, I’m afraid it will drag the two of you back.”

Aluo couldn’t refute this at all. The sick young man in front of him was indeed pale, and he was a little unsteady even standing. Take him to escape, I’m afraid he will die in a few steps. He couldn’t help but look up and glanced at his companion.

“That little Niang Pi just ran away and can’t stay for long!” Aniu couldn’t help but say.

This is the reason. Regardless of the previous fights, the escaped maid will soon find a helper, and it will not be easy to get out at that time.

As if he noticed the awkwardness of the two of them, Liang Feng lifted up his hand strenuously: “In the right room, next to the wall of the bed, there is a wooden box with a lock. Inside, there are various kinds of gold, silver and jade, all treasures of the ancestors. , Worth millions of dollars.”

The breathing of the two bandits swiftly rose immediately, and Ah Lau cast a wink at his companion: “I’ll go and see.”

As he said, he ran into the house quickly. Liang Feng didn’t stop, touched his backhand, took another jade pendant from the belt around his waist, and said to the kidnappers behind him: “This jade pendant alone costs tens of thousands of dollars. Why don’t you take these treasures and leave as soon as possible? ……what!”

Perhaps he was too scared, his hand shook, and the jade-colored jade pendant with fine carvings slipped out like this. Just as Aniu heard that the jade pendant was worth tens of thousands of dollars, he was willing to smash it to pieces. He couldn’t help but leaned forward, trying to catch the jade pendant with his hands. Unexpectedly, the sick child who was strangled with one hand by him also moved.

Liang Feng quickly raised his left hand, and the wrong gold hairpin inserted in the bun was already in his hand. The gangster behind him almost stuck to him for the jade pendant, and the two were so close that they didn’t even have room to dodge. Liang Feng pressed the hairpin with his thumb, and thrust his backhand fiercely, the hairpin pierced the side neck of the gangster exactly. This time the movement was not great, and the speed was not fast, but the hairpin was sharp, and it was unprepared. Aniu had no time to react, so he made two strange screams and fell on his back.

With a jingle, the jade pendant fell to the ground. Strangled by the arm of the deceased, Liang Feng was also taken to the ground involuntarily.

Hearing the movement behind him, Ah Luo suddenly turned his head, only to see that his companion and the head of the Liang family fell to the ground. He didn’t care about the treasure in the house, so he ran back quickly: “Aniu, what happened?!”

Aniu didn’t respond to him, instead, blood stains leaked out from the neck and ran into a patch. On him, the man who was dying of illness slightly propped up his body. Is this disease still alive? He killed Aniu? !

Ah Luo’s eyes were red, and he rushed forward with a roar. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his leg, Liang Feng supported the ground with his hands, kicked his right leg violently, and kicked the opponent’s calf. This effort was not too ruthless, but it was too accurate. Ah Luo lost his balance, danced with his hands, and rushed forward.

Right in front of him, Liang Feng clasped the dagger taken from the corpse with both hands, pointed up and pointed at the incoming person. Inevitable, Ah Ruo avoids falling onto Liang Feng. Hearing a chick, all the daggers fell into his heart, and the mountain bandit twitched slightly, and his breath was gone.

Lu Zhu never ran so fast, and her heartbeat almost burst out of her cavity, but she didn’t stop and ran out of the courtyard. The battle had just ended, and the servants were in the front yard. She passed through the two corridors and still did not find a suitable one. Lang Jun is in danger! Lang Jun was caught! Who will come, who will save the Lord? !

A crisp sound of horse hooves came, and Lu Zhu saw the figure riding the horse rushing into the courtyard at a glance. With her legs soft, she knelt on the ground, but stubbornly stretched out one hand, pointing in the direction when she came.

“There is a gangster! Save the Lord!”

The black steed didn’t stop, galloping past her, swept through a violent wind mixed with blood. Lu Zhu’s tears fell, but she didn’t reach out to wipe it, so she struggled to get up again, and ran back. Must catch up! To rescue Lang Jun!

Yi Yan only felt that his chest was burning, and every breath he exhaled was filled with anger and killing intent, like swallowing a piece of burning coal! He shouldn’t fight, he should be by the lord’s side and protect the lord! If those mountain bandits dared to hurt the lord, he would definitely break them all into pieces!

The longitudinal horse rushed through the last corridor, and the courtyard in front of Liang Feng lived. Yi Yan clenched the longbow in his hand and threw a feather arrow across it. The longbow squeaked to the full string. As long as he sees the gangster’s figure, he can kill him with one arrow. As long as he can see…

A fresh smell of blood pierced the tip of the nose. In the open courtyard door, the three of them fell into a ball, motionless, the thick red permeated the surrounding soil, like a fascinating flower.

With a snap, the hard bow of a stone was pulled into two sections, and the tight bowstring bounced and drew on Yi Yan’s face. The terrain of the courtyard was complicated, and he lost his control. The horse under him screamed, his hooves softened, and he knelt to the ground.

Rarely, Yi Yan didn’t react, and fell out with the falling horse. It wasn’t too cruel, but there was still pain in his body, digging his heart and liver, making him weak and breathing hard. Vaguely got up from the ground, he limped towards the courtyard gate, ignoring the dirt and blood on his body. Is he late? Only so late?

But before he got close, a very weak voice came from under the corpse pile.

“Is it… Yiyan?”
