The thief first slowly lowered the wide strip of cloth, then picked up the small bottle and was about to pour it down.
If nothing unexpected happened, he wanted to pour the water mixed with a large amount of stupefying drugs into the mouth of the Juren below.
The wide strip of cloth served as a conduit, preventing the liquid from dripping onto the Juren's mouth and waking him up from a height.
“Attack!”
Li Xuan let out a fierce shout.
Not only the thief in front, but everyone in the inn was startled.
But the Juren below was the most afraid.
He had only come to the capital early to prepare for the Chunwei, only inviting his friend to sleep side by side, two simple and happy things.
But he happened to be locked in the inn due to a murder case.
What should have been double happiness was now replaced by seeing a long object hanging right in front of his mouth upon waking up.
Was he being divided like a peach by his friend?
I said he looked honest, but he's not a good… oh, no, hahahaha…
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the long object was not extending from the side, but hanging from above.
Someone was lying on the roof, and several roof tiles had been removed, revealing a face with an evil smile.
The person was about to pour some water from the thing hanging from the roof to his mouth.
The Juren was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Li Xuan meant by his shout.
He also shouted: "There's a thief, the thief is here!"
The murderer was startled by Li Xuan's shout.
He was then startled again by the Juren's shout from below.
He lost his footing and stumbled off the roof.
Bang!
“Oh my God! I'm going to be killed!”
He didn't even have time to catch his breath.
Seeing Li Xuan's men rushing towards him, he scrambled to his feet and ran out.
Li Xuan shouted again:
“All of you, come back! I'll personally pursue and arrest this murderer!”
The Di Qi understood and ran back to protect Li Xuan, then slowly chased after the murderer.
The people in the inn heard Li Xuan and his men running away, and then came out.
They looked at each other, and the innkeeper spoke first: “Juren Zhang, were you the one who shouted just now? What happened?”
“You don’t know, that thief was just on my roof, he lifted the tiles and was about to poison me! If it weren't for the new official who just arrived and shouted loudly, I would have been killed!”
Juren Zhang was still terrified, but he also had a strange sense of excitement.
Although scholars may be playful, this kind of near-death experience was indeed rare.
A merchant slapped his thigh: "This official appeared so timely, it seems he had been lying in wait!"
Another person chimed in: "So he was acting last night?"
Juren Zhang suddenly realized: “Luring the snake out of its hole, deceiving the world, stealthily crossing the enemy's camp, and then capturing it in one fell swoop, brilliant!”
They talked among themselves.
Their perception of Li Xuan had undergone a 180-degree change.
…
Li Xuan, shouting and chasing all the way, chased the person to the point where he had no way out.
The thief himself was confused and instinctively jumped into a five-courtyard compound.
“It seems he has accomplices,” Li Xuan sighed, “Check your equipment, be careful, you only have one life, if you get hurt or die I won't be responsible!”
“Don't worry, sir, if any of them die, I will help take care of their wives and daughters, but I won't take care of their parents and sons, anyone else taking over?”
Before the battle started, someone made a crude joke to ease the tension.
Another person said scornfully: "Why should you take care of them? Our captain is so handsome, dashing, and promising, if anyone needs to be taken care of, it should be by him!”
“Exactly, even if I don’t die this time, I would be happy to be taken care of by the captain!”
“Get lost!”
Li Xuan scolded with a laugh.
Then he said seriously: “Go!”
Taking the strong bow he had specially carried on his back, Li Xuan first looked over the wall to make sure there was no danger, then he went over the wall.
In a chaotic battle, being a sharpshooter is more protective of his subordinates than leading the charge.
He scanned the area, and there was no one on the surface of the entire courtyard.
Seeing his men cautiously walking inside, Li Xuan thought for a moment, then slammed his fist against the side wall, breaking off a wall stone about one foot square.
First, he warned:
“The government is investigating, innocent people come out, otherwise everyone will be treated as bandits and executed on the spot!”
He could feel breathing in several rooms, but no one came out.
Since that was the case, he didn’t have to worry about hurting innocents.
Grabbing the stone, Li Xuan smashed it towards the west wing, possibly where the main beam was.
Boom-
A loud bang, the hundred-pound stone fell from a diagonal angle, smashing the main beam and bringing down the house.
Even Li Xuan, the perpetrator, was startled by his own actions.
As a “good kid” who had practiced martial arts and could control his strength so as not to harm any grass or tree in the surroundings, he had never done anything like demolishing a house before.
He knew he could do it, but he didn't expect it to be even better than he expected.
“Sir is mighty!”
The Di Qi were only shocked for a moment, and immediately shouted.
This kind of power, at least at the entry level.
With such a master leading them, who wouldn't feel a sense of security?
Seeing that no one came out, Li Xuan's men didn't stop, they kept breaking stones from the wall and throwing them at the house.
Some collapsed in one go, others took a few more hits.
Anyway, if they didn't come out, they would be buried alive.
Now the people in the yard couldn't hold back any longer, they roared and rushed out with swords in hand, a total of more than thirty people.
The middle-aged man in the lead was probably the leader.
He stood up and shouted: “We wanted to hide for a while, you didn't dare to rush in, and things would have been over, that would have been good for everyone.”
“But now, even if you are from the government, you have to die!”
“I know you have entered the entry level, but now you have wasted so much effort, how many people can you still kill?”
Your tone, how is it like saying “Zhang Sanfeng, even if you exhaust your inner energy, you won't be able to kill us all”?
Li Xuan didn’t answer, he drew his bow and arrow, firing a round of consecutive shots.
A few arrows pierced through three people, most pierced through five.
The enemy was reduced by half in one go.
The enemy: (ΩДΩ)
Jin Yi Wei: "Sir is mighty!"
These Di Qi were almost going crazy with joy.
They didn't expect Li Baihu to not only be a martial arts master, but also to have amazing archery skills.
Isn't this merit just a gift?
You know, in the vicinity of the capital, annihilating dozens of armed forces is no small feat.
Especially when only a few people are present.
Even though the bulk of the credit would go to Li Xuan, who was the main attacker and the leader, they would also get a lot.
“Surrender, and you shall not be killed.”
Li Xuan said calmly.
He drew an arrow from his quiver and played with it, quietly watching the enemy below.
He had intentionally attacked non-lethal points, those on the ground were now only incapacitated, not dead, so they could be brought back for interrogation.
