Chapter 1067 Interlocking Traps
This move naturally fell into Li Ling's eyes. He immediately followed the other party's gaze, but because of this, people came and went out, but there was no gain and no suspicion.
Apart from the people walking around, there were only a few hawkers selling along the street, and a beggar huddled in the corner of the alley. They did not look into the store, let alone communicate with the person in the store and gave instructions.
But that's the case. After a few glances, the person in front of him turned around decisively: "Why, who else can you go with me to see people?" As he said that, he stood up and walked out in a daze.
This is really beyond Li Ling and the others' expectations. The other party is so easy to talk to and is willing to agree to let someone see Yue'er? This is obviously very different from the strength the other party showed before...
However, Li Ling also knew that the other party could not let everyone here pass, so he said, "Mo Yun, go with him." With Li Mo Yun's skills, even if the other party sets any trap, he can still deal with it calmly and escape without hesitation.
Li Moyun nodded and agreed immediately, following the guy and headed out. Seeing this, Yang Zhen immediately walked into the store. As soon as Li Moyun left, he naturally had to rely on him to ensure his safety.
But as soon as Li Ling entered and exited, there was no one to protect him, an accident suddenly arose—
Not only Li Ling and the others in this winery, but also two tables of guests were drinking and laughing. At this time, as this gap appeared, the drinkers on both sides had turned around and pounced on each other at the same time, and four shiny daggers had stabbed towards Li Ling's face and chest and other vital points.
"grown ups--"
"Young Master——"
Yang Zhen and Li Moyun, who had just entered and exited, exclaimed loudly when they saw this, quickly turned around and pounced on them. Two sword lights had quickly slashed at the people who were fighting, faster than them.
Li Ling's reaction was not too slow. Seeing the dagger stabbed, he hurriedly turned over and fell backwards, and climbed under the table behind. Although his martial arts had not improved much over the years, he did not delay his daily health practice, so when he was attacked, he could still make certain avoidance actions.
Of course, it was already the limit for him to do this. After he fell to the ground, he had become a fish on the chopping board, and it was impossible for him to avoid the next round of attacks from the other party.
Fortunately, reinforcements rushed over at this time. With a flash of sword light, several daggers that were stabbing Li Ling were quickly blocked by Yang Zhen, who had arrived. Li Moyun's knife also rushed to the sky, and with a sound of breaking through the air, they had quickly slashed the two of them, slashing them out, and blood splattered, and screamed and hit the wall, then landed fiercely.
Both of them took action with hatred this time and never kept their strength. Yang Zhen turned the knife again and stabbed it decisively, piercing one person and heartbroken. Finally, the tip of the knife thrust to the side and aimed at the other person.
It was not until this time that Li Ling's voice below sounded: "Leave a living mouth!" This made his follower slightly tilt. He pierced and only penetrated his shoulder blade, nailing the person to the wall behind, causing the other party to wail.
From the sudden assassination to the four assassins, three were killed and one injured, it happened in just a short moment. Even the pedestrians outside the store were unable to come back from the shock. After a moment of silence, there were screams. Many people began to run towards the distance, while running, they shouted: "Kill, kill..."
Even the beggar curled up not far away was frightened at this time, and ran around hunched over, and actually ran towards the door of the restaurant. He looked like he was awakened in his sleep, and then he panicked and ran around.
But just as he ran past the store, another person took action. He was the young man in the store who had just been scared by the assassination and hid back. This seemingly harmless guy rushed straight towards Li Ling.
Yang Zhen and the others, who were about to help him get up, immediately turned around alertly, and the sword light flashed again and stabbed straight towards his chest. Unexpectedly, he was a false move. When he saw the sword coming, he lowered his body and flashed both swords. Then he looked at the package on the table.
Originally, the package was held by Li Ling with one hand, which was enough to ensure its safety. But in the sudden assassination just now, in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to fall down in a mess and crawl into the bottom of the table. In a panic, how could there be room for the package to be taken down together? So the package was left there. Even Yang Zhen and Li Moyun were only concerned about protecting Li Ling and killing the enemy, but forgot to put it away first.
As a result, the last ambushman seized the opportunity and snatched the package into his hand.
Seeing this, the two were even more furious and shouted: "Where are you going?" The sword light rolled towards him, realizing that he would not be able to escape from the two masters and take away the package.
But then, the incident happened again. The guy was short and retreated quickly. He did avoid the strangulation of two swords, but his hand rushed forward and threw the package out.
In a moment, the package had passed over Yang and Li's heads. The two of them were about to continue attacking were completely unprepared, so they naturally could not interrupt the package. At this time, the most inconspicuous beggar just ran to the place where the package was landed. With his hand stretched out, he grabbed a handful in his arms. His footsteps had not changed at all. He rushed forward quickly. After turning around, he rushed into an alley next to the wine shop.
Yang and Li were stunned again, and then Yang Zhen shouted, "I'll chase!" and then he turned out and followed the direction of the other person he had just seen, and ran and chased after him.
Li Moyun stared at the other two guys and shopkeepers who had been scared in the store, and while the sword flashed again, he quickly slashed the guy who snatched out the package. However, this man was far from Li Moyun's opponent in terms of martial arts. He just happened to be surprised and made a fuss. At this time, he encountered a fierce attack with one knife after another, and he couldn't resist it. In a scream, he was stabbed in the chest and nailed to the wall.
But even so, Li Moyun did not dare to relax at all and still stared at the other people. It was not until this time that Li Ling had difficulty getting up, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.
Obviously, this series of accidents caught him off guard, especially because this key thing was stolen, which made him even more confused.
The only hope now is that Yang Zhen can recover people and things. But soon, this hope was shattered. Just when the Jinwu Guards patrolling the city came and surrounded the winery, Yang Zhen also came back, but he was empty-handed and full of anger.
"Has you lost your pursuit?" Li Ling immediately knew the result.
"I am humble and incompetent, please punish me..." Yang Zhen said with his head down.
After chasing into the alley, he could still see the beggar's back. But then, the other party relied on his familiarity with the surrounding streets and alleys, and turned a few turns and finally threw him away. Finally, after rushing to the long street and missing any target, Yang Zhen had to give up and come back to apologize.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were also apologized. After they knew Li Ling's identity and experience, they were also very frightened. Such crimes occurred in their own jurisdiction, and the ones who were robbed and assassinated were still the Grand Master of the Three Sessions. If they were to blame, they would be finished.
However, in the end, Li Ling did not blame too much, but just sighed and said, "Forget it, the other party has made arrangements for it in advance, and it is reasonable for us to not deal with it. Fortunately, he won a few survivors, and maybe he could still ask something out of them."
This was obviously what Yang Zhen said. With the means of the Imperial City Department where he was, as long as he took the people in, he would not be afraid that they would not be willing to explain the truth. Especially the man who first came into contact with them, but was frightened after the incident, not only failed to escape, but fell to the ground and was taken down by the officers and soldiers. At this time, he was already trembling with fear and begged for mercy.
This reaction also aroused Li Ling's doubts. At that moment, he asked someone to take him to the front: "Who are you? What kind of conspiracy? To be honest, I can save your life, otherwise..."
"Sir, please spare my life... I'm just a flower vendor, I really don't dare to do such a thing..." The man immediately kowtowed repeatedly, but Li Ling was stunned. The explanation was too far-fetched and too unacceptable.
From entering the door to leaving, you can't tell at all that you are an ordinary businessman.
Even Yang Zhen immediately scolded: "At this time, you still dare to speak cleverly. It seems that you have never tried our methods!" As he said that, he was about to step forward to take action, but he heard the officer of the Jinwu Guard side explaining quickly: "Sir, the flower vendor he mentioned does not mean that he really sells flowers, but a human trafficker who specializes in selling good women..."
Li Ling really didn't know this kind of code word in the world, or in the investigation of the case. When he heard it, his face became even more sagging. No wonder the other party said this after meeting him. He actually misunderstood this point and thought they were the ones who tied Yue'er.
Now, the real means and conspiracy of those guys took shape in his mind. They first used such a guy to contact him in order to distinguish their hearts. Then when he said he would bring people away, he would reveal his flaws and cause the real assassin to launch a sneak attack. Even if the assassin failed in the end, these people actually had a backup plan and took the things away in the chaos. Even outsiders had already responded...
After thinking about all this, Li Ling no longer delayed it and immediately said, "Take them all to the Imperial City Center to investigate carefully, it is best to find the whereabouts of those people." As he said that, he went straight to his horse and turned over, but not to go home, but to go to the palace to report the news.
