【Chapter 490】 Phantom of a Rainy Night
I have to say that knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, just like the Xiahou brothers.
The two Xiahou brothers are the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty, Xiahou Ying, who was born in a famous family, and they know the rules of the family when they are young, and they know what kind of life the powerful people live.
Treat others as you please. With Xiliang Li Li's status today, it is better than Xiahou Ying, the ancestor of the Xiahou family, and it can be said that he is not an emperor but an emperor. Therefore, Li Li went south to Yangzhou to live in the Progressive Mansion, don't look at the ordinary clothes he wears, it is just his disguise. In fact, Li Li definitely couldn't bear the treatment of living in a wing room, he must be a big bully, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest and lived in the backyard of the Progress Mansion.
This is by no means a hypothesis, but an extremely firm idea in the hearts of the Xiahou brothers.
Therefore, when the brothers decided to do it, they didn't have to think about it at all, and directly targeted the assassination in the backyard, because Li Li was in the backyard.
And this is the inherent thinking of people who are born in the clan of eunuchs, and they firmly believe it, because they themselves are like this.
On the contrary, if the Xiahou brothers were from the common people, then they would definitely deduce Li Li's location in advance, or they didn't have to think about it at all, they would directly enter from the main gate, and kill men, women, and children together. It's a pity that they are not ordinary people, and they are destined to have no chance with ordinary people in this life, so they don't know how ordinary people live every day, and they don't know what kind of treatment ordinary people will have when they spend the night in large households.
However, the Xiahou brothers are also blind cats who hit dead mice. Bufu originally arranged Li Li and the four of them in the wing room, which was quite close to the backyard, only separated by a wall. If there is no accident in the middle, the Xiahou brothers are really crooked this time, as long as they rush into the backyard, they can meet Li Li as soon as possible.
However, the world is unpredictable. After Li Li met with Mrs. Bu, the owner of the Bufu, he changed his life, and moved into the front yard less than an hour after living in the east wing. And the front yard is indeed the closest to the main entrance. As long as the Xiahou brothers led the crowd to rush into the gate, they would be able to surround Li Lituan.
However, under the mistake of yin and yang, the Xiahou brothers gave up the main gate and the front yard, and even the wings on both sides were temporarily put aside, and they led the crowd straight to the backyard to touch it.
As a result, the habitual thinking of the children of the family prompted them to miss the opportunity to concentrate all their forces to besiege Li Li, but because they wanted to wade through the barren grass at night, they were killed by the hunters in the courtyard. One by one, the black-clad dead disappeared silently.
And this qiē Xiahou brothers are still in the dark, and they don't know.
"Ah———h
This terrible scream pierced the thunderstorm night like a shock, making Xiahou Yuan, who was walking in the middle of the team, frightened, and looked back at it at dusk.
"Thief, stop!" A moment when you turned your head to look back. Xiahou Yuanhu's eyes widened angrily, and he suddenly shouted in shock.
This moment. In his sight, there was such a scene: a giant man about one foot and two feet tall was holding a straight-handled scimitar used by the Huns. I don't know when he appeared behind the dead man in black, and then he killed the killer and followed the assassination all the way. Until he killed the black-clothed dead man who had just screamed, the black-clothed dead man suddenly became alert, but after all, he still couldn't escape the attack of the giant man. However, the giant man's knife was half an inch off, and he failed to cut his throat with one knife. As a result, the dead man in black had a chance to scream.
And this scream also completely exposed the whereabouts of the giant man, and was seen by Xiahou Yuan when he turned his head, and the hunting operation was exposed.
"The thief is gone, eat me!" The moment I saw the murder of the giant man. After Xiahou Yuan was intimidated, he immediately rushed to his feet, picked up the Zhangwu battle knife and went straight to the biao-shaped giant man to kill.
"Puff puff!" At the moment when his whereabouts were revealed, Huan Fei's body was like flying, and a specially made and lengthened Zhang'er Hun scimitar flew left and right, sending more than a dozen stunned black-clothed dead soldiers to hell within a few breaths. When he stood firm again, more than a dozen black-clothed dead soldiers behind him fell to the ground one after another, blood spurting from their necks, dissolving with the heavy rain falling in the air.
So far, within two teas, Huan Fei has killed nearly sixty dead soldiers of the Xiahou family one after another, all of them with a single sword. The only time he missed was the one just now, when he was close to the black-clothed dead man, he accidentally stepped into a puddle, and the mud splashed on the dead man's hand, so that he suddenly became alert, and let out a miserable scream when he was dying, exposing Huan Fei's figure to the sight of Xiahou Yuan and others.
Immediately, it was Xiahou Yuan's intimidation that gave Huan Feichuang a great opportunity, because the black-clothed dead soldiers in front of him turned their heads and looked back, all with a look of horror. Huan Fei took advantage of this opportunity to wipe out thirteen black-clothed dead soldiers in one fell swoop, thus suddenly increasing the number of hunting results from more than 40 to 60.
The work of two teas hunted and killed sixty black-clothed dead soldiers in one fell swoop, which meant that a small half of the one hundred and fifty family dead soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan had already died, leaving a team of less than one hundred people left.
And the sixty dead soldiers of the family who were killed really became "dead soldiers" at this moment, and they got what they wanted, which perfectly interpreted the name of the dead soldiers.
"Escape? Hahaha! Seeing Xiahou Yuan rushing over in a rage, Huan Fei laughed loudly, and sneered with tyranny and disdain: "What a joke!" I'll run away, you dream of it! If you don't kill them all tonight, your grandfather will not give up! ”
As he spoke, Huan Fei swung his knife to block the joint swords of several black-clothed dead soldiers, and his body turned sharply, kicking a black-clothed dead soldier into the crowd, knocking over four or five black-clothed dead soldiers.
At this moment, Xiahou Yuan suddenly jumped forward, and the Zhangwu battle knife was raised high, and it instantly pierced the night sky, carrying countless torrential raindrops that flew straight to the top of Huan Fei's head.
In the face of Xiahou Yuan's fierce and fierce volley, Huan Fei was not afraid, his body instantly shook and did not retreat, but advanced, and in the rush forward, he slashed down the left arm of a black-clothed dead soldier with a knife, and the scimitar went up with the momentum and collided head-on with the war knife that Xiahou Yuan took off and slashed in the air.
"Qiang ———"
The two war knives struck each other in the air, blooming incomparably dazzling white sparks, and the loud bang instantly pierced the night sky around Bufu, as if overshadowing the sound of wind, rain and thunder and lightning, and the aftermath fluttered for miles.
In the middle of the blow, Huan Fei's originally disdainful expression suddenly froze, and a look of surprise flowed from his eyes.
Obviously, the strength and speed displayed in Xiahou Yuan's sword had exceeded his expectations.
In fact, Huan Fei had long seen that Xiahoudun was the leader of the pair of men in black. It is also estimated that his martial arts should be good. But under this blow, Huan Fei knew that he still underestimated the strength of this black-clothed leader, this person's martial arts are not bad, he is simply very strong, and he is definitely a top general, a strong general in the early stage of the middle rank.
In an instant, Huan Fei knew that it was impossible for him to kill all of this group of people outside the Bufu, as long as this black-clothed leader was here, he had no chance of success. However, it is not possible to kill this leader in a short period of time, and it will take at least hundreds of rounds of fierce combat to be able to kill him.
At this moment, Huan Fei knew that this group of black-clothed assassins was not an easy person. The reason why he was so easy to get his hands on before was to cover up his unpreparedness and kill the killer. But from now on, there will never be such a good opportunity as before.
Something is not good!
With a wave of the knife in his hand, he took the four knives that Xiahou Yuan slashed in one go, and waited for Xiahou Yuan to land on the ground before he could gain a stable foothold. Huan Fei held the knife in both hands and swung the knife to bully him. Vigorously slashed at Xiahou Yuan's chest.
Really. Although Xiahou Yuan was strong, when his foothold was not stable, he couldn't withstand Huan Fei's knife slashing, and immediately took a few steps back, stepping on the puddle before he could stand firm.
"Bang Bang!"
After winning the blow, Huan Fei didn't give Xiahou Yuan a chance to breathe at all, and stabbed one after another. Wielding the sword like lightning, the black-clothed dead soldiers around him couldn't intervene at all, and could only stand in the heavy rain and watch the battle, but they were unable to participate in a battle of this level.
—————————————————————————
"Ah———h
When an extremely piercing scream came from the sky above Bufu. Outside the southern wall, Xiahoudun had already walked to the corner, and it only took a turn to see the backyard wall of Bufu. However, this terrible death scream made him stop suddenly, and he listened to the sound in the air in disbelief, hoping to hear the clue.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiahoudun listened to the direction of the scream just now, he suddenly heard six rapid arrows whistling in a row. Suddenly, he was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound of arrows came, but the moment he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a cold light rushing towards the back of his neck.
In the flash of light, Xiahoudun almost instinctively raised his hand and swung his knife at the arrow, hoping to shoot down the dark arrow that was coming straight for him. At the same time, he was short, and his steps changed sharply, and he dodged into the corner of the wall in the backyard of Bufu. However, his judgment was wrong for a moment, and among the six arrows galloping in the sky, there were not one, but two hidden arrows aimed at him.
At the moment when Xiahoudun swung his knife to shoot down an arrow and dodged to the corner of the backyard wall, a lightning bolt suddenly pierced his right leg and shot half an inch above his knee, almost hitting the knee joint. If this is the case, then his right leg will be scrapped, and even if the injury heals in the future, it will be a cripple. In addition, this dark arrow was extremely powerful, and when the arrow pierced the lower end of the thigh, it instantly pierced out, and the blade broke out from the other end, revealing an inch out of the body.
"Poof——— hum!"
Xiahoudun, who was hit by an arrow in his right leg, suddenly twitched his cheeks in pain, and his thick tiger eyebrows scurried up and down, but he couldn't hold back and scream in pain, baring his teeth and grinning hard. However, the moment the arrow pierced through his right leg and came out of his body, he was in terrible pain and couldn't help but grit his teeth and snort coldly.
"Where do the rats dare to hurt people with secret arrows? So-and-so is waiting for you here, if the thief still has a little guts, and he is still a man with a handle, then stand up and let so-and-so see who you are? ”
Gritting his teeth and stiffening the arrow wound in severe pain, Xiahoudun scolded loudly, hoping to provoke the person hiding in the shadows to appear.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain, and broke the shaft of the arrow with all his might, and then pulled out the cluster of arrows with lightning from the other end, so that the whole arrow was pulled out. Immediately, he tore off a piece of underwear, tightened the wound, and hastily bandaged the arrow wound.
After doing this, Xiahoudun took two deep breaths, closed his cheeks tightly, and sighed, suddenly feeling that the pain of the arrow wound on his leg was slightly relieved, not as painful as just now.
The frontal enemy is not scary, the scary thing is that you simply do not know where your enemy is hiding.
This is a little insight that Xiahoudun gained from this tracking and sneak attack on Li Li, and this sentence he originally wanted to give to his enemy Li Li. Waiting for the moment when Li Li didn't close his eyes after being killed by him, he gave this sentence to Li Li, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart, and it was not in vain that he had been looking for revenge day and night for three years.
It's a pity that now this sentence is directly applied to himself, but he didn't expect it.
"Bang ———!"
Just when Xiahoudun hoped that the person who secretly released the cold arrow appeared, a huge sound of weapons colliding came from the northeast of Bufu, and the sound suddenly floated into Xiahoudun's ears. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, and without thinking too much, he knew that this was a loud noise made by his younger brother Xiahou Yuan in a fierce battle with others, and the other party was also a super-first-class master; Otherwise, it would not have provoked such a huge lash.
However, at the moment when Xiahou was considering whether to go to support his younger brother, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a black flying train falling above his head, and the sound of whistling and falling was the same as the sound of falling rain.
Suddenly, Xiahoudun didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately flew and pounced, rolled out of the wild grass more than ten steps away, and turned over.
At this moment, an unusually tall figure landed on the corner of the wall where Xiahoudun had been standing before, and when he raised his hand, he waved the chain and whipped the heads of several black-clothed dead soldiers, and died a tragic death instantly.
Seeing that this person was waving a black chain more than two feet long in his hand, Xiahou Dun, who had dodged the blow, suddenly felt familiar, where should he have heard this person's name, but he couldn't remember it for a while. At once, he didn't want to think too much, so he picked up the sword in his hand and rushed up, trying to compete with the man who used chains as weapons.
However, it is a pity that the person who uses chains as weapons does not seem to want to fight with Xiahoudun. Seeing that Xiahou was angry and rushing to kill, but he saw him jump on the ground with his legs, and landed on the wall with a volley, and then walked quickly along the wall to a hundred steps away, and jumped off the wall again, the chains flew, and killed the dead soldiers in black.
The identity of the person who used the chain was about to come out, and he was Li Li's personal commander Li Zhi and Li Zicheng.
Xiahoudun could hear the sound of the fight on the right side of Bufu, and Li Zhi could also hear it, and he also knew that it was the sound of weapons made by Huan Fei and others in the fierce battle. From this, he naturally judged that among the black-clothed assassins that Huan Fei encountered in the north, there must be people with strong martial arts at the level of top generals. And Li Zhi's black-faced beard, who dodged two arrows in a row just now, is also extraordinary, and it is very likely that he has the martial arts of the middle and lower ranks of the top generals.
In view of this, Li Zhi originally wanted to kill the bearded man by surprise, but he didn't expect the bearded man to be extremely alert, react quickly and effectively, and dodge his flying blow again. After two consecutive misses, Li Zhi made a quick decision, no longer fighting with the beard, and instead chose to kill a large number of black-clothed people brought by the beard.
