Chapter 55 Xiao Leng comes out
Liu Hu didn't think too much about it. He looked at Wenxuan who suddenly knelt on the ground, sighed helplessly and said, "Get up."
As a modern man, he doesn't like this kind of ancient etiquette. Everyone is equal, and it is really hard to understand why people have to kneel down at every turn.
Wenxuan saw that Liu Hu's expression did not seem like he was lying, so he quickly straightened his clothes and stood up. He stood aside properly, but he was secretly cautious in his heart.
After a while, the guards and the blue-clothed guards brought back some flammable materials, and various hay and oil were piled in front.
Wenxuan stepped forward and said, "Listen, rebels in the room. You can't escape. If you still want to live, drop your weapons and get out of here."
The tavern was as silent as death, without any movement. Liu Hu looked at the dark tavern and said to Luo Fanchen beside him, "Take a team of people in to take a look."
Liu Hu wondered if there was no one left in the tavern.
If this is true, Xiao Leng's IQ is a bit too scary. He only decided to come here after hearing the news about the tavern.
Could it be that Xiao Leng had already predicted his every move? Even knew his next move clearly?
After receiving the order, Luo Fanchen didn't think too much and went to the tavern with a few blue-clothed guards.
The tavern was originally quiet, but when Luo Fanchen and others were a few dozen steps away, a crossbow arrow flew out with a "whoosh". The crossbow arrow was so fast and fierce that it flew in front of Luo Fanchen in the blink of an eye.
Even though Luo Fanchen had been on guard, the crossbow arrow was so fast that he had no time to react. He fell to the ground due to the force of the forward rush and thus avoided the arrow .
From this arrow alone, Luo Fanchen knew there was definitely a mechanical arrow inside, so he immediately said, "Retreat."
At the command, the blue-clothed guards did not dare to delay and stood up to leave. However, there was no chance for them to leave in the house. In an instant, crossbow arrows flew out like raindrops.
Luo Fanchen was originally on the ground. Looking at the flying crossbow arrow, his eyes turned cold, and his body stood up in a posture that was beyond human power. He waved the sword in his hand and blocked the flying crossbow arrow.
"Retreat, don't worry about me."
Seeing that several blue-clothed guards around him wanted to save him, Luo Fanchen quickly waved his hand and asked them to retreat first.
When the Qingyi Guard heard Luo Fanchen's words, he gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and stepped hard to flash back to Liu Hu's side, with Luo Fanchen following closely behind him.
Luo Fanchen looked at the crossbow arrow on the ground, his face flushed red. He looked so embarrassed. How could such a proud person not be angry?
Moreover, he dodged the attack by lying on the ground, which was the most humiliating posture.
Luo Fanchen's eyes were red, and he wanted to rush in for revenge. Liu Hu looked at the crossbows on the ground and said calmly: "Since they are stubborn, set fire to them. Don't spare any of them."
“Set a fire quickly and burn these bastards to death.” Luo Fanchen stood at the front, pointing at the tavern, trembling all over.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open and an old man walked out. He said to Liu Hu calmly, "I wonder what brings you here so late at night, Grand Master?"
The old man looked so calm and composed that he did not look like an ordinary person. Liu Hu smiled coldly and said, "I received a report that you were hiding a traitor, so I brought people to search for you and eliminate this harm for the people."
"My tavern is just an ordinary tavern. Where did the rebels come from? You can find a pretext to accuse them." The old man answered slowly, not taking the 5,000 soldiers outside seriously at all.
"An ordinary tavern? Haha, can an ordinary tavern have so many crossbows? Can an ordinary tavern have such a powerful mechanism? I am not here to argue with you tonight. Someone come and search."
Liu Hu didn't give the old man too much time. Who knows if he came out to delay time in order to allow Xiao Leng to escape.
The old man's expression finally changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "You came here to search for no reason. Grand Master, aren't you going too far?"
"The search warrant hasn't come down yet. I'll go ahead and deliver the search warrant tomorrow." The premise is that you can live until tomorrow, Liu Hu added in his mind.
When the old man came out, Liu Hu had already concluded in his heart that Xiao Leng was definitely inside and didn't want to give him the chance to delay time.
"A Si, take people in to search. If another crossbow arrow flies out, set it on fire immediately." Liu Hu sneered.
He originally wanted to set fire to the tavern, but now that he saw the old man coming out, he knew that the people inside were still afraid of death after all, and not all of them were willing to die.
Since he is afraid of death, it will be easy. It would be best if he can be captured alive. After all, he doesn't know when the Zhou Kingdom will attack, from which route, and who the Northern Di will send. These things all need further investigation.
The old man wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Asi led a group of people and walked in front, holding a big hammer and keeping watch on the surroundings, fearing that a crossbow arrow would suddenly appear.
This time it was surprisingly calm. When Ah Si was halfway there, Xiao Leng came out with a folding fan in his hand and said to Liu Hu outside, "Don't you just want to find me? Why make such a big scene?"
"You bring someone in. The royal family has its own dignity."
In the last sentence, Xiao Leng's tone had turned into a plea. He could not escape death today, but being watched by so many soldiers would ultimately lose his dignity. Xiao Leng still hoped to talk to Liu Hu alone.
When Liu Hu saw Xiao Leng, his eyes lit up. With Xiao Leng here, tonight's operation would be a success.
Liu Hu ordered Ah Si to come back and carry him in. Since Xiao Leng was here, there was no need to worry about anything else.
"Boss..." Asi stood in front of Liu Hushen, a little hesitant.
After all, no one knows what's inside. Just based on Xiao Leng's words, he led people to rush in. Who knows what traps are inside.
Besides, we now have an overall advantage and there is no need to negotiate with Xiao Leng.
"It's okay." Liu Hu did not suspect anything. At this point, even if Xiao Leng wanted to cheat, he had no chance.
Asi wanted to say something more, but when he saw Liu Hu's determined eyes, he swallowed the words back.
Taking Liu Hu with them, they entered the tavern. Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene inside the tavern. This was not a tavern at all, but clearly a small armory.
There were all kinds of weapons, and there were hundreds of people standing inside, filling the tavern to the brim. Even the stairs were filled with people.
The people inside glared at Liu Hu and the others, as if they wanted to eat them.
Looking again, there were bows and arrows and weapons scattered all . There were also drawings on the table that had not been cleaned up yet. The various colors on the drawings were very eye-catching.
After reading it, Liu Hu laughed and said, "You still have the strength to fight, why would you want to surrender?"
"Haha, you don't have to be so ungrateful. Even if I can resist, I'm afraid none of my brothers can escape. For the sake of these brothers, I can only surrender." Xiao Leng said expressionlessly.
