Chapter 579: Catching the Turtle in the Urn

Hu Bowen sighed and said bitterly: "Mr. Marquis thinks this way, and I have nothing to say. You said I am afraid that the three guards will leak the news, so I have to kill people to silence them. If this is true, I have a powerful accomplice, so why bother to go through more trouble? Although the three Yulin soldiers were alert, they would not need such trouble if they really wanted to kill them."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Hu is a smart man, why did he become confused? The sneak attack behind his back can kill three people instantly and not give them the chance to shout. I believe that the killer's skill is indeed great. I also believe that if you really want to kill someone to silence him, with that person's skills, you should be able to do it." He raised his hand and brushed off the rain on his forehead and smiled and said, "But you, Lord Hu, are you an ordinary person? Three lives are not only to kill someone to silence him, but also to frame him. Naturally, you cannot miss the opportunity. After some trouble, the situation at the scene makes it easy to guess that it is probably an acquaintance who takes action from the front. This is of course your Lord Hu's purpose. After all, it is just to let me fall into your trap."

"oh?"

Qi Ning said: "As I suspected before, the situation at the scene made me suspect that the murderer was one of the two team leaders, and Wu Dalin was the most suspicious. With you, Lord Hu, you, will naturally make me believe that Wu Dalin is the real murderer. If it weren't for your boots, I would have suspicious, I'm afraid that this marquis would really accuse the good man."

Hu Bowen smiled strangely, and the forest was cold. He only felt a cold air rushing towards his head from the soles of his feet.

"You are still worried that you don't have enough strength, so you directed and acted assassination. "Qinning stared at Hu Bowen's eyes: "The so-called assassination scene is naturally your careful arrangement. Liang Xiong naturally knew all this a long time ago, so you shouted in the house and Liang Xiong was the first to rush in to cooperate with you in acting."

Hu Bowen's eyes twitched, just sneering.

"No one assassinated you at all. Liang Xiong testified that seeing the assassin jump out of the window is of course perjury." Qi Ning looked cold: "The purpose of this design is naturally to give Wu Dalin a fatal blow. You, Lord Hu, have you seen with your own eyes that the assassin is Wu Dalin, how can I not believe it? So you will inevitably guide this marquis to design the means of getting rid of Wu Dalin and killing people with a knife. Of course, Lord Hu has designed it long ago."

After Qi Ning finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around him.

After a while, Hu Bowen sighed and said, "Since the Marquis wants to slander the officials so much, what can I say? After all, I misread you."

"Are you not convinced?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "Actually, if you want to prove whether what I said is true, you will find out immediately. According to your design, we will get rid of Wu Dalin here. Next, Liang Xiong will naturally take over Wu Dalin to command the guard. He will go to Huaihe tomorrow, so if you have a chance tonight, you won't let it go." He smiled slightly, glanced at Liang Xiong who was lying on the ground, and continued, "Mr. Hu, I'll help you design it. You see, right? After Liang Xiong takes over the command, he will definitely re-arrange the post tonight. And I can conclude that he will leave a gap so that your people can enter the village quietly and destroy the goods. After you succeed, you will be done. It's better to be able to kill me in chaos. Even if you can't kill me, all of this will be blamed. Do you think this plan is wonderful?"

Hu Bowen's pupils contracted, and his voice was already weak: "Marty, you... are you... are you slandering. After returning to Beijing, the lower official... the lower official...!" He retreated repeatedly, Qi Ning sneered, flashed his body, and reached out to grab Hu Bowen. Hu Bowen turned around and wanted to escape. Qi Ning raised his kick and kicked Hu Bowen on the back. Hu Bowen said "Ouch" and was kicked to the ground.

Before he could get up, Qi Feng had already rushed forward and pressed Hu Bowen to the ground. Another companion came forward from the side, took out the ropes that had been prepared long ago, and tied Hu Bowen tightly.

Li Tang also brought people to tie Liang Xiong up. Hu Bowen looked very proud and shouted: "Qinning, you... you framed the loyal and kind, and I will never give up."

Qi Ning sneered, "I'll know soon if you have framed you." He waved his hand and signaled Qi Feng and others to take the two of them down.

Wu Dalin put away his sword, went forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis, I am not careful... Hey, if I weren't a marquis, I am afraid I would not be able to wash it even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

Qi Ning looked solemn and said, "Captain Wu, now is not the time to say this. Let's go back to the village immediately and make arrangements. Those people must take action tonight. We must not let those guys succeed."

A flash of lightning slashed straight from the air, and in the flash, the deserted village on a rainy night fell coldly.

It was raining late at night, and Qi Ning was standing at the back window of a house, with a grim expression, carrying his hands on his back, thinking.

It was already the second day of the day, and the whole deserted village was silent. The previous heavy rain had already eased a lot at this time. A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window, blowing on Qi Ning's face, allowing Qi Ning to remain absolutely awake at this moment.

He believed in his judgment and made careful arrangements. The deserted village was like a cage at this moment, waiting for prey to enter.

Qi Ning was patient. Although he had been waiting for more than an hour, he was still calm.

Seeing several figures appearing not far outside the back window, the corners of Qi Ning's lips floated slightly.

He could see clearly that these figures were extremely fast and quick in their movements. Each of them held a knife in their hands, and at least seven or eight figures. Everyone was holding their waists, like ghosts in the rain.

First, the man looked very alert, swept his eyes, then raised his hand, signaled everyone to follow, and headed straight to a house in the village.

There are no guards around this house, one or two rooms, the main hall on the left and the room on the right. Originally, the room was empty, but now the house is full of goods. This is the largest house in the village, and it is a better preserved house. Although it has not lived in a long time and seems dilapidated, there is no need to worry that the rain can hit it.

The goods were covered with oil cloth. At this time, five or six guards in the main hall were sitting tilted on the ground. Except for the two of them, they were barely open their eyes, the others were sleeping sounds. The group of black shadows under the back wall poked a hole in the back wall with the sound of wind and rain. They approached the entrance and saw the scene in the main hall. The leader turned around and made a gesture. Then he continued to move forward and reached the rear window of the inner room.

The rear window was closed, and the Yulin Guards also specially sealed it with a tart cloth. The leader took a dagger in his hand, cut the tart cloth, and looked inside. He looked inside. He was sure that there was no one in the inner room where the goods were stacked. Without hesitation, he cut the tart cloth with a dagger, and then turned over and entered the room. His movement was extremely light. The people behind him also flipped into the room continuously, leaving only one person guarding outside the rear window.

When he entered the room, the leader made another gesture. All of his subordinates took off a cowhide wine bag from his waist, took off the plug, and poured liquid from the cowhide bag into the goods. One of them poured out the liquid in the cowhide bag, and couldn't help lifting the oil cloth, and then he saw a flash of cold light. The leader's big knife blade pointed at the man's throat, and the man hurriedly stopped.

The leader snorted coldly and saw that everyone had poured out the liquid from the cowhide bag. Then he took a fire stick in his hand and blew it gently. A trace of fire suddenly lit up in the originally dark room. The leader did not hesitate and threw the fire stick on the oil cloth. The moment the fire stick fell on the oil cloth, a "suddenly", and the flames rose.

These people's cowhide bags are filled with tinea oil, and even if they are stained with a little spark, they will immediately burn.

The leader saw the fire burning, and his eyes showed pride again. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to evacuate quickly. Everyone held the knife and walked towards the back window. The person in front was still two or three steps away from the back window. A sharp arrow suddenly shot towards him. The arrow was fast and urgent, without any signs in advance. The man was caught off guard. With a "puff", the sharp arrow hit the man's throat. The man's intent did not diminish. After being hit, he took two steps forward and finally fell forward.

Everyone behind him was shocked, and at this moment, there were constant whistling sounds, and many arrows were shot into the back window. The good eyesight had already seen clearly. Outside the back window, more than ten archers lined up in two rows and shot arrows in succession. If they rushed towards the back window, they would undoubtedly be hitting the arrow.

The arrow shot over, and everyone waved their swords to resist, and one person shouted: "No, we were ambushed..."

"Go out of the front window." Although the sudden change occurred, the leader remained calm and turned around and rushed towards the front window of the inner room. Before he got close, the front window had been broken with two "slap" sounds. Almost at the same time, the arrows like electricity also shot in from the front window.

At this moment, the fire in the house surged into the sky, as bright as daylight, and the goods covered by oil cloth were all shrouded in the fire. The night rain was desolate, and the climate tonight was a bit cool, but under the raging fire, the temperature inside the room rose sharply, and the two windows in front and back were sharp arrows. Everyone squeezed together, swinging knives back to back to resist.

"We have to rush out..." Someone's voice was filled with horror: "If we can't get out, we will be burned to death here alive..."

At this time, life and death were at stake. Everyone knew that the front and rear windows had been sealed and could not rush out. They could only rush out from the door to the main hall. The leader made a quick decision and shouted, and asked someone to protect himself. He moved to the door and reached out to pull the door. He found that the door had been closed from outside and could not be opened at all. He roared and kicked the door with a "bang". The leader was very powerful, and the wooden door did not explain, kicking a big hole open with one kick.
