Chapter 155: The Power of Toad Kung Fu
Zhao Yulin ordered immediate action. After all, his former captain of the guard had become the chief garrison commander of Jiading and was stationed in the city with 3,000 brothers. There were plenty of men and horses.
Chen Chen immediately sent someone to Jiading to pass on the message.
The couple rarely get together, so they go back to their room early after dinner.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Guoan and Xiao Shen from Shunfeng hurried over to find them, which made Boss Chen Chen, who was in high spirits, unhappy.
Zhao Yulin quickly put on his clothes and went out to ask what happened?
Xiao Shen reported that as soon as they caught the chief salt official, more than a dozen people from Jianwei, Yingling and Jiading prefectures were implicated. Bai Heng, a salt merchant from Yujin, fled to Chengdu with several people. When they were stopped by a patrol boat, they jumped into the river without caring about the icy water. Two thieves were not rescued.
To Zhao Yulin it sounded like a bunch of shit.
What do you call this? Just check and you will find a lot of criminals.
Chen Chen stood up and said in a harsh voice, don't be afraid, first stop the families of those who died, search their homes and seize the stolen goods, and then interrogate them one by one.
He nodded and said that these were just small fry, not to be afraid, we dare to arrest even the biggest corrupt officials in Jiading and we will handle the cases boldly.
After everyone left, Chen Chen said she couldn't sleep either, and asked him to go to the yard to teach her boxing. Several of her personal guards had the skills of flying over eaves and walls, and she also wanted to find the feeling of flying like a fairy.
Zhao Yulin laughed and said that it would not take a year or two to learn it, as he had been taught by a master since he was young.
Chen Chen didn't care, he stepped forward and grabbed his neck and threatened: "I want it, I want it, I won't let you suffer any consequences. "
The couple was having a mad moment when they suddenly heard a Buddhist chant in the center of the yard: "The head of Emei is here to visit. Please ask the third young master of Yibin to come out and meet him." The voice was so high-pitched and penetrating that it seemed that everyone in the yard had heard it.
The captain of the guard soon showed up, followed by a group of brothers.
Chen Chen held Zhao Yulin's hand, and the couple walked out with love in their eyes.
The new captain of the guard, Zhao Yulin, was indeed quite skilled in martial arts. As soon as the newcomer appeared, he stood under the eaves of Zhao Yulin's room.
He reported to Zhao Yulin: The nuns in Mount Emei are really good at martial arts, Third Young Master, be careful.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the other side spoke up and asked him what he was talking about. Of course, I am a woman in the Emei Sect. What's the big deal? We are all vegetarians and Buddhists, so what is there to be afraid of?
Zhao Yulin smiled and said that of course he was not afraid. The sect leader had a kind heart like a bodhisattva and must be a man who had accumulated virtue and done good deeds. He was not afraid.
"Are you really not afraid? This is interesting." A silver bell-like laughter was heard, followed by a flash of white light, and two women in plain clothes instantly stood in front of Zhao Yulin.
Chen Chen's guards shouted and rushed to the two of them to stop them.
The captain of the guard shouted, "Retreat two feet away immediately, or I will kill you without mercy."
The two women slowly took three steps back, and the woman holding the Buddhist whisk asked with a smile, "Is that enough?"
Zhao Yulin found this woman interesting and said that it was enough. This was the safe distance set by our Shenwei Army for fear that strangers would be accidentally injured .
The head woman said "Oh" with a smile and asked if there was any other master who had not shown up. She thought that everyone present was mortal.
This means that she doesn't take the skills of Zhao Yulin and others seriously at all.
Zhao Yulin doesn't care who says he is not capable. He has never thought about fighting anyone in close combat.
However, he intended to test his guards' ability to concentrate fire, and said with a smile, "That's right, but the bows and arrows used by our Shenwei Army have a very fast firing rate and can easily cause accidental injuries. Master, it would be better for you to be careful, right?"
The head woman said again, "It's interesting, can we try it?"
Zhao Yulin was overjoyed and pointed to the lantern on the left eaves, saying that ten people were shooting at the same time, could the master stop them?
The head woman raised the Buddhist whisk in her hand and said, "Let's give it a try. Let's see how powerful it is."
Everyone quickly moved aside.
He waved to the captain of the guard, and immediately ten brothers holding crossbows stood in a row. The head woman was stunned by the sight of the crossbow with an quiver, and said to herself that there really were such bows and arrows.
As the captain of the guard shouted "Ready," a thunderous voice came from outside.
"Don't be afraid, my little granddaughter. I'm here to help you." As soon as the voice came, a man who walked like a spinning top upside down suddenly jumped into the yard, lay on the ground like a toad, and made "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds non-stop.
The head girl exclaimed: "Ouyang Feng?"
Zhao Yulin was shocked when he heard this, and shouted, "Get out of the way!" while quickly retreating while holding Chen Chen in his arms.
The captain of the guard immediately shouted "shoot."
Hundreds of crossbows shot at the toad at the same time, and Ouyang Feng screamed "Ah." What kind of bows and arrows are so powerful?
He then rolled ten meters on the ground to the corner of the wall, trying to climb over the wall to escape, but the firing speed of the crossbow was too fast. More and more guards were covering him within a three-meter range and continuously shooting arrows. He had already been hit by many arrows.
This was a concentrated fire attack arranged by Zhao Yulin's guards which Ouyang Feng did not understand. Not all of them were shooting at one point, but rather forming a fire network to cover one area. The arrows fired were like a fishing net shining on Ouyang Feng. No matter which direction he fled in, there would be arrows to cover him.
Ouyang Feng was in trouble. He jumped up with great difficulty. Although he grabbed the courtyard wall, his internal energy was dissipated and his movements were slow. Arrows rained down on him. Finally, he ran out of strength and slid down again. The wall was wet with his blood.
The captain of the guard shouted, "Keep shooting, don't stop. This man is very skilled in martial arts, we must not be careless."
Someone threw torches and shot rockets towards the corner where Ouyang Feng had slid down. The guards could see more clearly, so they formed a circle around Ouyang Feng, walked around and shot as they approached, and continued shooting arrows until they were five meters away from him.
Ouyang Feng huddled up in a ball and shouted intermittently, "Stop shooting. I admit defeat. I dare to ask, what kind of magic weapon is this?"
Zhao Yulin said loudly that Ouyang Feng was the strongest man in the world and he loved to act crazy and stupid, so be careful not to be tricked and continue shooting.
The captain of the guard called on his brothers behind him to prepare grenades and blow up the evil villain.
Ouyang Feng's voice was getting weaker and weaker. When he heard Zhao Yulin's shouting, he actually laughed out loud and said that he was about to die. It was rare for the Third Young Master to praise him as the strongest man in the world. He was satisfied.
He begged the Third Young Master to leave his body intact, and then there was no more sound.
Zhao Yulin muttered to himself, what a martial arts prodigy! He told his guards not to use grenades, because the crossbows in his guards' hands were specially made and enhanced versions. Even with the soft armor protecting them, the powerful arrows would penetrate into the flesh through the soft armor.
He estimated that Ouyang Feng's life was in danger.
The sky was gradually getting brighter, and the captain of the guard raised his sword and went up to check.
Ouyang Feng's body was full of arrows, and blood was flowing all over the ground. The captain of the guard reached out to feel his breath, but found that his nostrils were pierced with arrows, and he was already dead.
The two guards tried to turn him over, but it took a lot of effort. It turned out that an arrow had pierced his body and nailed him to the ground.
The head of Emei witnessed firsthand how a great master was shot into pieces by the Divine Power Army in an instant, and everyone was stunned.
When the soldiers were harassing Ouyang Feng, she suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed over, telling him not to move, saying that the old man had stolen things from her house and she wanted to look for him.
Of course Zhao Yulin knew that she must be looking for the Nine Yin Scriptures that her father, Master Guo, had memorized backwards.
This girl is so cunning.
At this moment, a warrior dressed as an old beggar jumped into the yard again. The headmistress turned around after hearing the call. After seeing clearly, she immediately sent him over to shout "Grandpa Qigong, Ouyang Feng is dead!"
The old beggar walked to the corner in shock, and saw that the corpse full of arrows was indeed Ouyang Feng. He sighed and said that this man deserved such an end.
He turned to Zhao Yulin and said: We are destined to be together. You might as well give this man a proper burial. After all, he is a master of martial arts.
Zhao Yulin had already seen clearly that the old beggar was the old man he had seen at the beggar's chicken near the White Pagoda in Yibin.
He bowed and said that he would bury Ouyang Feng with honor according to Qigong's instructions.
The head woman immediately spoke up, asking people not to rush and to help her search, as the old thief must have something from his family on him.
Hong Qigong asked with a smile if there was anything else.
Don’t I know that you are thinking about the Nine Yin Scriptures that are practiced in reverse?
What's the use of keeping an evil book?
In front of them, Zhao Yulin personally went forward and searched Ouyang Feng's body inch by inch, even the private parts between his thighs. He also displayed the broken porcelain bottles, hairpins and other things on his body to everyone.
I just didn’t find the martial arts secrets that the female leader mentioned.
The head woman shook her head with some regret and dragged Qigong to her Mount Emei.
The woman in white clothes beside him hurriedly said, "Master, help me."
The head lady seemed to have just remembered something and said "Oh, oh" to Zhao Yulin.
"My disciple has a request. Commander Zhao, please release the people from the Bai family."
Chen Chen leaned close to Zhao Yulin and said with a smile: "My dear sister, you asked my husband to release them with just one word. Do you know that they have violated the law?"
"So what?" the head woman asked unreasonably.
Chen Chen said that there were so many brothers in the yard watching and listening, and they could testify, so of course they had to act according to the law.
The head girl turned around and looked at the woman in white and said, "Did you hear me, Xiaobai? I told you that we will act according to the law."
The woman in white immediately spoke to Chen Chen: "Everyone in Jiading City knows that the third young master of the Zhao family is ruthless and cruel. He even dares to kill the imperial envoy and beats anyone he catches. What did you do to my father? Tell me."
The head girl immediately started to get angry with her apprentice again, and shouted, "Say, Grandpa Qigong will do justice for us, right?"
Haha, this guy knows that it is dangerous to fight with Zhao Yulin, so he pulls Hong Qigong together to build a united front.
Zhao Yulin said in confusion that he only killed corrupt officials and bullies, and he didn't even know who his father was. What was he talking about?
Hong Qigong smiled and said that he knew that Brother Yulin would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the interrogation method he used was a hydrotherapy that did not hurt the skin, which was wonderful.
The woman in white said nervously that her father was Bai Heng. How could a businessman endure physical pain? Many people in her family were thrown into jail.
It turned out that this was all caused by the punishment of salt merchants.
Chen Chen said that Bai Heng evaded salt tax, but the evidence was solid and he was not wrongly accused.
The woman in white argued: Her family was making salt and evaded taxes, but the silver was not embezzled by her family alone. Officials from Jiazhou, Jianwei and Chengdu all received it. Why was her family the only one to suffer?
At this time, Zhang Guoan walked in and said that when our Shenwei Army investigates a case, we will investigate every case one by one and will never let a bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good guy.
Seeing that Zhao Yulin refused to give in, the headmistress shook Hong Qigong's arm, asking him to step in and uphold justice.
