Seeing Ling Muyun and Huang Rong just break through the encirclement and run away, leaving only a mess on the ground, everyone present was dumbfounded for a moment. They really didn't expect that there were so many people, and they were stunned that they were not able to stop the other two people, leaving them unscathed. They rushed out, but they themselves suffered heavy losses.
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong are both real innate masters, and possess unique skills, and their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of their peers. Therefore, although the battle lasted for a short time, the casualties on the government side were quite heavy. In just a few breaths, the troops who came to participate in the arrest suffered dozens of casualties.
Although the number of casualties in the Yulong Guard was not large, they were all masters led by Lian Hong himself. The quasi-first-class masters who had acquired great success were enough to become the leader of a small force in the world, even among some famous sects. , and it is definitely a pivotal backbone.
Even if they are as powerful as the Yulong Guards, they cannot be taken out just by taking them out. Now that Ling Muyun and Huang Rong have killed these ten or so, it is equivalent to killing Lian Hong, who is responsible for the supervision of Dengzhou. Nearly half of the high-end power in the hands of General Yulongwei was wiped out at once. In terms of losses, it was far greater than the troops he mobilized to participate in the capture.
At this time, the few Yulong Guards who were repelled by Ling Muyun but luckily survived the injury also endured their injuries and came to Lian Hong. One of them asked him carefully: "Sir, what should we do now?"
"What should I do? Do you still need me to teach you what to do?" Lian Hong was so angry that he staggered the Yulong Guard who asked the question, and cursed: "What a bunch of idiots, why don't you inform everyone immediately?" The city gate guards have sealed the city gates, put the whole city under martial law, and conducted strict searches. They must not be allowed to escape from the city! "
"Yes, yes, sir, we will do it now."
Several fish dragon guards now knew that Lian Hong was angry. How dare you stay here and get into trouble with him? Including the fish dragon guard who almost fell down after being kicked. They all nodded in agreement, then split up and left in a hurry to convey Lian Hong's order.
But even though these fish and dragon guards were following orders, they couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts. With the strength of Ling Muyun and his two men, they were able to break out under their heavy siege. How could they simply block the city gate? Can the whole city be caught under martial law and searches?
So what if the city gate is blocked? Can't the other party escape beyond the city? These methods are fine for catching an ordinary little thief, but if you want to catch two innate masters, isn't it a joke? Besides tiring oneself, what else can it do?
Looking at his subordinates who left in a hurry as if they were hiding from the god of plague, Lian Hong clenched his teeth. His face was ashen.
¡°In fact, how could he not know that nine times out of ten, his actions would be in vain? It's just that this arrest failed. But it made him hold his breath inside and couldn't get out. If he didn't do anything, he would feel even more depressed!
In fact, not only was Lian Hong feeling depressed, but the soldiers were even more unhappy and looked at him with rather unkind eyes.
Because the responsibility of the Yulong Guard is not only to target people in the martial arts world, but also to arrest people from within the imperial court. Therefore, except for the Yulong Guard himself, no one else has a good impression of the Yulong Guard, and these soldiers are no exception.
This arrest was originally a matter of the Yulong Guards and had nothing to do with them at all. However, with just one word from Lian Hong, they were seconded to participate in catching thieves. It's just a matter of doing more work. Who would have thought that the lives of dozens of comrades would be lost in one fell swoop? It's strange that these soldiers would feel so happy.
Although the army occasionally participates in arresting and suppressing people in the martial arts world, it usually targets those warriors who are acquired by others. Whenever innate masters are involved, the corresponding masters will be specially arranged to deal with them. They let a group of ordinary soldiers arrest two innate masters, and no corresponding masters have been arranged to restrain them. Isn't this a joke with their lives?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As a master of the innate level, Lian Hong, with his eyes and ears in all directions, naturally saw the reactions of the soldiers, and he became more and more depressed.
Angry and angry, Lian Hong had no intention of staying here any longer. He immediately ordered his men to simply clean the battlefield, bring along all the dead and wounded, and then ordered the troops to withdraw. Only bloodstains on the streets and arrows and weapon fragments that had not been cleaned up were left, indicating to people that a bloody fight had just occurred here.
After Lian Hong led everyone to leave, an unparalleled nobleman wearing a brocade robe and holding a folding fan strolled out from a teahouse not far from the place where the fight took place.
Looking at the direction in which Ling Muyun and the two left earlier, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that this descendant of Ling Yuantu is really good at it, and he doesn't seem to have practiced well."The most authentic sword technique to ward off evil? interesting! Why did the people from the Fish Dragon Guard look for him? This thing is getting more and more interesting! "
After saying that, the noble man fiddled with the folding fan in his hand twice, and then unfolded the folding fan with a flick of his wrist, revealing a cluster of colorful peonies painted on the fan. Then he shook the folding fan lightly, turned around and walked away with a smile. .
What happened next was as many people had guessed.
Under Lian Hong¡¯s order, Kaifeng County sealed off the city gates, put the entire city under martial law, posted a wanted notice offering a reward, and dispatched soldiers to search the entire city. However, even though the whole city was in uproar and the search continued until the lights were turned on, no trace of Ling Muyun or Huang Rong was found.
Finally, Lian Hong got a report from a soldier guarding the city, saying that in the afternoon, he seemed to have seen two figures flying over the city wall and leaving the city.
Lian Hong asked him why he didn't report it at that time. The soldier said that he didn't see clearly at that time and thought he was dazzled. Later, when he got off his post and returned home, he saw that the city's soldiers and officers were searching the city with great fanfare for important criminals. They also offered rewards for the wanted criminals, saying that there would also be heavy rewards for providing clues, and the wanted criminals happened to be two people, so he remembered this incident. Come, so I came to report the clues with a try attitude to see if I could get a reward.
After hearing the soldier's answer, Lian Hong was so angry that he almost jumped on the spot. What happened in the afternoon was reported in the evening. He didn't even know where he had gone. You still want to offer a reward?
"As a result, Lian Hong did not offer the soldier a reward, but ordered his men to whip the soldier severely and beat him half to death. He then charged him with dereliction of duty and sent it to the city defense garrison to deal with it themselves.
¡¡
As night fell and the sky was filled with stars, the search in Kaifeng County that lasted for nearly half a day finally came to a halt. However, the martial law has not been stopped, and a curfew has been implemented. As a result, Kaifeng County has not only returned to calm, but it is also a bit calmer than usual.
At the second watch, two black figures evaded the soldiers patrolling the city at night, jumped down from the city wall near the west city gate, entered the city quietly without anyone noticing, and then flew towards the city. These two people were none other than Ling Muyun and Huang Rong.
It turns out that after Ling Muyun and Huang Rong escaped from the siege led by Lian Hong during the day, although they escaped from Kaifeng City by jumping over the wall, they did not escape far away, but temporarily settled in a nearby small village.
Because Ling Muyun and Huang Rong couldn't figure out why they were rounded up by the Yulong Guards, and they were unwilling to become wanted criminals by the government. So after some discussion, the two of them decided that since it was difficult to move around during the day, they would go into the city at night to explore, and at least understand the reason why they were arrested by the government.
Waiting patiently until nightfall, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong put on night clothes, covered their faces with black gauze, quietly came out of the small village where they had settled, and came outside the city wall of Kaifeng County, carefully avoiding the soldiers patrolling the city for the night. , and then used Qinggong to cross the city wall and sneak back into Kaifeng County City again.
And the goal of their entry into the city this time was not elsewhere, it was the Yulong Guard's guard post command office in Kaifeng County. As the saying goes, every wrongdoer has his own debtor. Since it was the Yulong Guards who were responsible for commanding their arrest during the day, then if they directly approached the Yulong Guards, they would naturally be able to find out why the two were arrested by the government.
Although this would inevitably involve a lot of risks, neither Ling Muyun nor Huang Rong cared about it. Who are these two people? That is a master who even dares to break into the imperial palace. What does it mean to command the yamen of a mere fish dragon guard?
Since the two of them had passed by the Yulong Guard's command office when they were shopping in Kaifeng County during the day, they didn't need to ask anyone for directions after entering the city, and walked straight in the direction of the command office. .
Because the city of Kaifeng is enforcing a curfew, you can encounter city defense soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time. But what kind of people were Ling Muyun and Huang Rong? Naturally, they easily avoided the curfew patrols along the way. They walked through houses and houses, climbed over eaves and walls, and soon arrived at the command office of Yulong Guard in Kaifeng City.
Seeing that there were guards guarding the gate of the Guard's Command Office, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong were naturally not stupid enough to break through the gate. Instead, they turned to the back wall of the Guard's Command Office. After hearing that there was no movement inside, the two of them That is, entering over the wall.
However, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong did not know that as soon as they entered the command office of the guard station, a person appeared on the roof of a house not far from the back wall of the command office of the guard station.
Seeing that the figures of the two people had disappeared into the courtyard wall of the guard command office, the man smiled slightly, took a step and landed in front of the house door from the roof, and then stepped towardsAs he walked towards the back wall of the Yamen under his command, he didn't see how hard the man jumped. In a few steps, he had already passed a distance of tens of feet, and then he floated and disappeared into the back wall of the Yamen.
