Angry Banana
Chapter 441: Looking Back Suddenly, Becoming a Pig Teammate
On the corridor outside the second-floor room, the sudden attack by the enemy created a huge commotion in the first moment. When Ning Yi turned his head, he couldn't see the situation outside clearly, but the railing was knocked away, bodies fell down, and the oil lamps and lanterns hanging in the inn flickered erratically due to the sudden impact.
As Qi Xinyong and Qi Xinyi attacked, Zhu Biao grabbed the steel spear and thrust it out. The figure outside swung and blocked, irresistibly deflecting all attacks, and appeared in Ning Yi's view.
Their eyes met, Ning Yi grabbed a crossbow, and Qi Xinhan beside him had already rushed out. Zhu Biao stood in front of Ning Yi, but was watching the movements of the windows on the side and behind.
The shadows of three Soul-Reaping Spears intertwined, forcing back the appearing figure. Fighting sounds erupted in the inn. The others who had come along obviously also discovered the situation. Amid the sounds of clashing swords and spears, someone screamed. Zhu Hu shouted, "Kill him!" Over there, someone roared, "Ning Liheng—"
"Who!"
"Don't fight... you can't fight here—"
"You bunch of murderers..."
Various sounds rang out in the first moment of the fight. Arrows flew, the lights dimmed, and tables and chairs were overturned. Ning Yi frowned and narrowed his eyes: "Lin Chong..." As far as he was concerned, he really had a feeling that enemies were destined to meet. On the way here, he hadn't ruled out such a possibility, but among all the predictions, the current situation was indeed the most troublesome.
But since things had already been pushed to the front, there was no avoiding it.
The inn's hall was filled with noisy fighting. After a while, the sound gradually lowered, and the parties involved had more or less clarified the situation. Ning Yi and Zhu Biao walked out of the room, their eyes sweeping across the hall. The Qi brothers had retreated. Several people were lying in pools of blood in the hall below and on the stairs next to it. The tables and chairs in the hall were overturned. Some of the greenwoodsmen were pushing tables and hiding behind them, and his own side had similar arrangements. Everyone was holding weapons and crossbows, pointing towards the inn's entrance. Lin Chong, holding his spear, stood behind the pillar on the other side of the entrance. When Ning Yi came out, he also revealed himself and looked up.
The innkeeper probably took a hit on his leg, and was lying on the ground crying and shouting, "You can't fight, don't fight, ouch..."
Ning Yi slowly twirled the bracelet in his hand, scanning the surroundings. Someone behind the tables and chairs was already shouting, "Who is it..."
"Let's settle this..."
"Zhu Biao of Duling Gang, who's not convinced, come up here!"
Zhu Biao shouted. In the current situation, involving Duling Gang was known to be unusual, the sound gradually lowered, and gazes were fixed on Ning Yi. Some people remembered Lin Chong's roar, and their expressions changed slightly as they looked at the young man in his early twenties who had appeared above. At this point, Ning Yi cupped his hands.
"Greetings, everyone. I am Ning Liheng, nicknamed 'Bloody Handed Butcher' by people of jianghu. I came to this area to settle a grievance with the Liangshan people, and it has nothing to do with others. At Zhanjia Ao on July 13th, which was last night, the last three thousand Liangshan people were ambushed and killed. Song Jiang and the others were all beheaded..."
Ning Yi's tone was light and calm. Hearing this, Lin Chong's face changed: "You're talking nonsense..."
Ning Yi ignored him: "I've already arrived. The Wu Rui Camp and Duling Gang people will be here soon. If you don't want to be affected by this matter, please leave quickly. I've killed enough people on this trip to Shandong. This personal grievance with the remnants of Liangshan has nothing to do with you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and outside the Dragon Tiger Inn, the sounds of chaos spread into the distance.
*************
Water droplets fell from under the eaves. When Chen Jinxia, Lu Wenhu, Yao Wuliu, and others arrived at the Dragon Tiger Inn, the entire inn, inside and out, had already formed a confrontational situation.
Sun Li, Shi Jin, and Lin Chong, leading twenty or thirty Liangshan elites, as well as some familiar greenwoodsmen, had gathered around, eager to rush in. They had been pursued relentlessly by Lu Hongti along the way, their brothers had suffered casualties, and new ones had gathered. Some of the crippled were lying in Anping's clinics. To say that their hatred was as deep as the sea would not be an exaggeration. Some people lit torches, wanting to burn down the inn directly, but Lin Chong and others still had reason. Anping was Yao Wuliu's territory, and the opposite side had more than twenty crossbows pointing outside. Rushing in and fighting to the death would not be appropriate. Lin Chong and Sun Li were talking, their brows furrowed.
With the arrival of Chen Jinxia and others, half of Anping County had been alarmed, and crowds gathered. The entrance to the Dragon Tiger Inn was guarded by Duling Gang people, with crossbows staring at Lin Chong and others. Amid whispers, they talked about the arrival of "Inner Demon" Ning Liheng. Coupled with the scene before them, the atmosphere was truly chilling, with a sense that a dragon and tiger battle was about to begin.
Chen Jinxia cupped his hands outside the inn: "Greetings to the heroes of Qilu greenwoods. I have long admired the name of 'Ning the Butcher', but causing such a misunderstanding upon arriving in Anping is not very good. Today, the heroes have gathered here. Why doesn't the Butcher come out and explain the matter to everyone, so that everyone knows your intentions,
and avoids more misunderstandings? I am Chen Jinxia, along with brother Lu Wenhu, Yao..."
Amid the crowd's observation, Chen Jinxia, tall and sturdy, spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly to the people inside the inn. The power of the government, generally speaking, was terrible, but as for individual reputations, due to the distortion of information transmission and the extent of news dissemination, the deterrent force varied. For example, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing, these names could cause thousands of people to die with every order they issued in the capital. But if they really appeared in front of people, perhaps someone would dare to draw a knife and chop them.
Ning Yi's reputation at this time was slightly different from that of Cai Jing and others, but to tell the truth, the rules of the greenwoodsmen were deeply rooted in these people's hearts. If you did something wrong, the government would come without reason. If you really wanted to send troops, there were many singletons in the greenwoods who would hide in the mountains or change places. Compared to the situation of the Liangshan bandits gathering, this kind of fragmented greenwoods force naturally had its differences. Therefore, even though Ning Yi had just used the army to destroy Liangshan, Chen Jinxia, who wanted to be a local leader, would not think that he was too inferior. And with everyone watching, even if he was inferior, he had to hold on.
Saying these words, wanting Ning Yi to come out, he had originally wanted to go into the inn and negotiate with the other side. Whether to kill people was another matter, but a person who wanted to do great things had to see the situation clearly. In any case, leading the heroes to confront Ning Yi like this would naturally greatly increase his reputation. But before he could finish speaking, the people inside had already walked out. The elite with bows and crossbows were in the front, while Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, and the Qi brothers were with Ning Yi. People inside and outside the long street watched as this scholar in his twenties appeared before their eyes.
"Chief Yao Wuliu of Iron Tablet Tower, Head Han of Fire Fist Gang, Leader Zheng of Qiyun Fortress, and everyone else, I know you all, I have long admired you..." Standing on the steps in front of the inn, Ning Yi cupped his hands, his tone steady but also with an air of dominance, looking down at the crowd on the long street. Before coming out, Zhu Hu and Qi Xinhan and others had made many considerations, and the sudden escalation of the matter was not easy to deal with. However, when Chen Jinxia arrived, Ning Yi still prepared to go out the door immediately.
As far as he was concerned, in a situation that could not be avoided, he could only take a risk and could not sit idly by as the situation continued. The pressure he wanted to exert was not only on Yao Wuliu and others, but also to be transmitted to the entire Anping County as soon as possible.
With these words, most of the people cupped their hands. Yao Wuliu said, "Young Master Ning has come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. This Dragon Tiger Inn is the place of my Iron Tablet Tower. If there is anything that has slighted the young master, please tell me, and I will definitely apologize to the young master and all the heroes together with the innkeeper."
"Heh." Ning Yi waved his hand, smiling gently, and said loudly, "Everyone should know why I came. I know that snakes have their ways, and rats have their paths, but I, Ning, will not say those roundabout words today. That Miss Lu is my benefactor and teacher. She has come a thousand miles for my sake. Whatever grievances there are, I will bear them with her. Song Jiang and others were completely destroyed at Zhanjia Ao last night. You will hear this news tomorrow..."
He paused slightly at this point: "The Liangshan matter has come to an end, and I want to bring it to a close as soon as possible. It would be best if my teacher is unharmed. I have heard that the great hero is one who serves the country and its people. The Wu Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles, and the borderlands are uneasy. The people of Shandong are suffering, but now that the banditry of Liangshan is gone, the heroes have gathered here to form an alliance, which is obviously for the sake of better order. This is a great event in jianghu, worthy of celebration. Alliance Leader Chen, wouldn't you say so?"
Hearing these words, Chen Jinxia's eyes hesitated slightly. Shi Jin on the side was shouting, "Don't listen to his nonsense." And was about to rush up, but Sun Li stopped him. Whispers filled the long street. Firstly, they heard the news that Song Jiang's entire army had been wiped out. Secondly, most of the greenwoodsmen were poor, and in reality, traveling and making a living every day, without a tile to cover their heads or a place to stand, even if they occasionally shouted slogans about eating large pieces of meat and drinking large bowls of wine, it was not really romantic. Who had ever heard of a great hero serving the country and its people, and who could truly feel anything like a gathering of heroes for a better order?
Especially Chen Jinxia, who had convened the greenwoodsmen to form an alliance in the wake of Liangshan's destruction. Although everyone knew this in their hearts, it had not been formally proposed. Among these people, not everyone could be convinced by him, but since the words had not been spoken, everyone was accumulating strength and waiting. Ning Yi represented the power of the government, and if he really recognized him, he would not be far from the position of leader of the Qilu greenwoods. But for the sake of face, he could not agree immediately.
"Since 'Ning the Butcher' is so straightforward, Chen will not be long-winded or beat around the bush. We are just mountain people and have no right to comment on the grievances between the government and Liangshan. However, there are many greenwoodsmen on Liangshan. We have gathered to form an alliance, actually to petition the government. Was the strategy used by the Butcher against Liangshan too cruel? Chen has heard that the brothers on Liangshan later turned against each other, and family members turned swords against each other. The Butcher only wanted to avenge himself. Why couldn't he use some upright methods, and why did he have to cause such a collapse of human relations..."
He was able to have such ambition, and was able to do this step, apparently he had some literary talent in addition to martial arts. This kind of questioning now still has a way out, Ning Yi was about to speak, Yao Wuliu in the crowd, looked around suspiciously, wondering why the Swallowing Cloud Monk had not appeared, and thought of why Sun Li would hold Shi Jin, and looked over there, only to see Sun Li's eyes were glancing stealthily in the darkness.
Yao Wuliu looked at that side,
and saw a figure silently and rapidly sneaking in the darkness on the second floor. At the same time, among the Liangshan people, a roar suddenly broke out.
"What's the point of talking to this kind of demon, kill him—"
On the Liangshan side, Sun Li grabbed a broken wheel from the side and threw it with a whoosh. Here Zhu Biao snorted coldly, and everyone suddenly shrank back. Three Duling Gang men smashed the wheel in the air. At the same time, the Liangshan people rushed over. Yao Wuliu was about to raise his hand, but another hand grabbed it from the side, it was Han Li of the Fire Fist Gang. The two had many struggles and frictions in the Anping area, and the Fire Fist Gang had been at a disadvantage, but at least in the face of outsiders, the two were still advancing and retreating together, but at this time, Han Li held down Yao Wuliu, raised his hand, and suddenly roared, "That's right, kill him—"
Chen Jinxia shouted, "Wait—" But beside him, Lu Wenhu drew out his twin sabers and pounced straight up. Behind, among the widow and disciples of "Swift Saber" Lin Qi, some people also rushed out.
More than twenty people with crossbows retreated, and the first round of crossbow bolts covered the Liangshan side. Zhu Biao swung his heavy spear, rushed out of the crowd, and the spear and Lu Wenhu's twin sabers burst out sparks in the air with bangs, bangs, bangs.
"Come on! Liangshan people! But Alliance Leader Chen, Chief Yao, and everyone in Anping, if this matter really gets out of hand, you can wait for the army to push over from Zhuxi to Anping tomorrow!"
Ning Yi was not unprepared for such a thing. He thought he could dispel the enemy by simply by the deterrence of destroying Liangshan, that if these people thought about it calmly, he would not be in danger, and that even the siege of Lu Hongti would be lifted smoothly. But in the current view, Hongti had no choice but to save him, she was highly skilled in martial arts, she could have roamed around alone, but with him by her side, he had finally become a burden...
Among the crowd that rushed over, blood flowers bloomed, and cold arrows and hidden weapons also hit several people from Duling Gang. Yao Wuliu shook off Han Li and punched him in the face. The fist produced a huge burst of air, and Han Li quickly retreated. At the same time, Yao Wuliu shouted, "Stop, Iron Tablet Tower people stop!"
"Give me your life—" Someone broke through the roof above the inn and fell down with a bang. The huge robes covered the entire area. The Soul-Reaping Spear pierced up, making a chaotic ding-ding-dang sound. The formation was suddenly disrupted. The figure fell down, rolled towards the inside of the inn, and then suddenly rushed out. Amid the "hahahaha" laughter, it shook back Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan. Ning Yi shot an arrow, but it was knocked away from the figure. Several Duling Gang men nearby turned around and shot arrows. Ning Yi also rushed to the side of the roof, At the same time, among the crowd on the road who had not acted, three or four figures were almost knocked away at the same time, a figure ran wildly and approached quickly.
In this moment, the crowd fought into a group, Lin Chong, Sun Li, Shi Jin and others of Liangshan have killed, they first greeted still is a Duling Gang people, but Sun Li leap up, was in the rear Shi Jin, pushed towards the Ning Yi, the robe sleeve of broad monks smashed Qi Xinyong with two Duling Gang guards, is about to rush to Ning Yi, the roof and there were two figures fall, wearing white cloth, is fast sword of Lin Qi's two disciples. And the figure who rushed out of the crowd on the other side was also approaching quickly.
Five figures, together with Ning Yi, suddenly collided, lightning-like crazy fight. Splash, torch in the elongated figures continue to shake the eyes of everyone.
Sword light, knife light, iron cassocks under the dance of flying smash, but almost all of the attack, are that the sudden rush out of the figure took down, she shot like electricity, in a blink of an eye has been with the swallowing cloud monk, Sun Li and other four people against dozens of times.
In this process, Ning Yi's figure is almost mixed together, breaking the six-channel vigor waving knife, crossbow arrows, fishing nets, lime powder bag fly out, and then only listen to a pop sound, metal collision, chest a sweet, the whole person is retreating, is that swallowing cloud monk's big sleeve waving in his body, although hit is also his pad in the chest of the iron plate, but that force is also huge to be unbearable. Staggering fly back, the muzzle of the shotgun spit out the light. Flesh and blood fly, the sword blade with blood line fly in the sky, lime powder bag bloom of a moment, the not burly figure in a punch beat back Sun Li, and in front of her, two iron sleeves waving smash down, hit her shoulders.
The figure stepped on the water, also constantly retreat over, Ning Yi's body lost its balance, turned in the air is about to fall down, rushed to his side of the figure to help him with a band, and then hold the sword in front of him, Ning Yi single hand to hold her, and then back a few steps, to the back of the wall to stop, the woman tall figure against his chest.
That moment the chaotic fight almost dazzling all the eyes. When the six men finally separated, two of Lin Qi's disciples had fallen to the ground, one of whom was covered head and face by a fishing net, Sun Li was shot in the shoulder by Ning Yi, and retreated with blood and flesh, the swallowing cloud monk half a cassock stained with white lime powder, some stained on his right hand, is now emitting heat, he went to the side, the hand directly into the underground mud water, after all, not much lime powder, so wash away. And here, Ning Yi from the rear holding the suddenly appeared woman, facing everyone.
At this time rushed out, naturally is Lu Hongti.
At present Ning Yi with his left hand forward to hug her, the palm has actually been covered on her chest, but Lu Hongti right hand sword, left hand in the previous in order to grab him not to let him fall
, this time is also pressed in his palm back. But at this moment neither of them noticed these, Lu Hongti said a sentence: "Are you all right?" Ning Yi mouth sweet, spit out a mouthful of blood, care is also Lu Hongti's situation: "You..." That monk just palms hit Lu Hongti scene, he also saw.
In front of the crowd, also lasted a moment of silence, and then suddenly someone said: "She was injured..."
Someone else said: "The witch was injured..."
Around the torch light flickering, this light in the illumination, Lu Hongti's mouth is just there is blood overflow, the situation at the time of the emergency, she really hard to catch the swallowing cloud monk two palms, this time, is really injured.
Looking at the eyes of the front of the people are gradually becoming fiery eyes, Ning Yi heart sank. This time he came in a hurry, also thought that as long as the deterrence of Liangshan is destroyed, these people calm down to think, he will not have danger, even Lu Hongti's siege will be lifted smoothly. But in the current view, Hongti just had to save himself, she is highly skilled in martial arts, alone originally can also wander, but he is next to him, finally became a burden...
