Chapter 25 Besieged
From the content of the letter, we can roughly judge that this King Ning is not very peaceful and has conquered the magistrate of Qingya County, Lou Zhixian, early on. The reason why Qingya County was chosen is not because Lou Zhixian is so outstanding, but because Qingya County has mines!
The letter did not specify what kind of mine it was. But it could be roughly seen that the value of this "mine" was very high, so high that King Ning sent a large number of masters to occupy this place. The eunuch Wei who was beaten to death by Chen Luo before was the eunuch beside King Ning, and he came here to take charge of this matter.
"The damn eunuch pretended to be a palace man."
Chen Luo cursed inwardly and continued to scroll down.
In addition to Eunuch Wei and others, King Ning also cooperated with a military general in the southwest. This person was the reckless man mentioned by Magistrate Lou before, General Fan who sent him to beg for food. The rest of the content is mostly some transaction records, such as the tribute of money and the materials that passed by.
Chen Luo just took a quick look and then skipped it.
"What kind of mine is it that is worthy of these people being so crazy?"
He searched through the last letter but still couldn't find the information he wanted to know.
At this time, there was some movement outside. It seemed that the midnight snack that Magistrate Lou had ordered people to prepare was ready during this period of time.
"Forget it, let's go find Junior Sister He first."
Chen Luo blew out the candle on the table and rolled over to escape from the hole he had knocked open.
A moment later, a scream was heard from the courtyard where Magistrate Lou was.
After leaving Magistrate Lou's yard, Chen Luo turned around and headed for the last location of a powerful aura. Magistrate Lou had no one here, so this was the only place left. With his third-level perception, the masters in this government office were like fireflies in the dark, extremely eye-catching.
After passing three courtyard walls, Chen Luo's movements became lighter.
The courtyard here was even more luxurious than the Nuanqiu Pavilion where Magistrate Lou lived. Not only was the courtyard wider, but even the architectural style was much more exquisite. The torches in the courtyard were burning brightly, illuminating every area without any dark corners.
There is an armored soldier on duty every few meters. Compared with other places, this place is heavily guarded.
Chen Luo hid behind the eaves, observing the movements in the yard from a distance.
A burly man sat at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, studying a book wrapped in yellow cloth. Not far away, Sister He and several young women were tied to one side, unable to move like pigs.
Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be hurt, they just looked a little weird.
"Why can't I practice it? I have done every step."
The burly man was completely immersed in the book, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
No wonder he didn't notice the movement from County Magistrate Lou before. In his current state, he basically wouldn't care as long as no one came to kill him.
This person is probably the General Fan, right?
Chen Luo did not rush to take action, but observed the man carefully.
This General Fan is quite powerful. Although he has not reached the third realm, the aura he exudes is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary martial artists. The aura of this kind of military warrior is completely different from that of martial artists. If this kind of master is killed, he must take his brain away.
I don't know what the difference is between military warriors and martial artists.
'Danger, keep your head down!'
While Chen Luo was still thinking about how to start, the thoughts in the royal brain suddenly became active. An instruction appeared in his mind, and the next moment, he lowered his head without any thought, and rolled over at an incredible angle.
Bang!!
A black sleeve arrow flew past his cheek, and the arrow head hit the tile wall on the ground hard and penetrated deep into it. The remaining half of the arrow trembled slightly behind it, telling of the danger just now.
Chen Luo just felt his scalp tingling.
'Discovered?'
'when!'
An unprecedented sense of danger surged in his heart. If he had been a little slower, or had hesitated, the arrow from the sleeve would have definitely hit him between the eyebrows and pierced his brain.
"Huh?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and looking in the direction of the sound, the burly man who was originally sitting in the yard reading a book had somehow reached the roof.
His cuffs were shining with a cold light; he was the one who had shot the arrow from his sleeve.
In the martial arts world, besides swords, spears, swords and halberds, hidden weapons and poisons are the things that kill the most people.
“The response has been good.”
General Fan reached out and touched the hidden weapon on his sleeve, and made a brief comment.
At this time, the soldiers below also surrounded the roof. A large group of archers bent their bows and shot indiscriminately at the place on the roof where Chen Luo had previously hidden.
Bang bang bang.
Another round of rain of arrows.
No one was talking nonsense at all. This guy named Fan was not as talkative as the villains in movies and TV dramas. He obviously had the upper hand, but he was still shamelessly trying to call for help. He did not behave like a master at all.
"I was careless."
In the house below, Chen Luo's face looked a little gloomy.
When he rolled over, he was not dodging blindly, but following the instinct of his royal brain, he hooked onto the window beside and rolled in. For a moment, he really felt that he was going to die.
The feeling of expansiveness brought about by the breakthrough in cultivation disappeared all of a sudden.
In a one-on-one fight, these people were indeed no match for him, but they did not fight him with martial arts at all, and directly used human wave tactics and long-range shooting. In this way, when his whereabouts were exposed, he could not use 100% of his strength.
After all, it is still martial arts, and carelessness can lead to death.
After calming down, Chen Luo began to think about his current situation.
There were at least fifty people outside surrounding the area, and there were even more people in the dark, so there was no way to confirm. There was also an unknown General Fan. It was extremely difficult to save people in this situation.
Go out first, escape from the encirclement, and then fight back.
Assassination is the best strategy!
After just a little thought, Chen Luo came up with a plan in his mind.
Now all the more than 100 brains in his body were active, and his thoughts became extremely clear. He had no impulse to use his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.
BANG!!
Before Chen Luo could move, the door outside was suddenly kicked open.
'On the left side, there is a partition wall at the corner of the house, and the arrows can't reach it.'
I don't know which brain in my mind that is good at escaping gave feedback. This brain is obviously very proficient in escaping, and its thinking is so fast that even the royal brain can't react.
Without having time to think, Chen Luo rolled over and picked up the bench next to him in the process.
Duh!!
Several more arrows were nailed to the bench, and the cold arrowheads could be clearly seen piercing through the wooden board.
Fortunately, Chen Luo finally hid in the corner, and the rain of arrows could no longer pose a threat to him.
"stop!"
General Fan's voice was heard again outside, and he also found that he could not kill Chen Luo by shooting him in this way.
"You two, go in and take a look, and catch him alive!"
General Fan stood at the door, showing no intention of going in. It is the habit of those in high positions to avoid danger, and General Fan is obviously a qualified person in high positions.
The two soldiers who heard the order immediately drew their swords and walked in carefully along the door.
