I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 358 Someone wants to kill Hai Qingtian

The shadow was waiting in the yard.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the middle room, and the companions did not come out. The leading black shadow man became suspicious, pointed at his companions, waved his hand, and led the three people to quietly move to the door, waiting for an opportunity to rush into the middle room.

As the first black shadow entered the room, he saw a flash of cold light in front of him. A knife stretched out from the darkness and pulled his neck, causing blood to spurt out with a whoosh.

The black shadow fell to the ground, holding his neck, but was kicked out by the person inside and hit the man in black behind him, and the two rolled into a ball.

The leading man in black had a fierce look in his eyes and blew a sharp whistle. Several figures appeared from all over the yard and rushed towards the middle room together.

Chen San stood at the door of the middle room, holding a steel knife, and struck the first black shadow coming towards him on the head with the knife.

The man dodged to the side, and the shadow behind him suddenly pounced forward, with the tip of the knife in his hand heading straight for Chen San's heart. Chen San calmed down, not panicking, and turned his right hand, blocking the shadow man's knife with the knife in his hand and turning it away.

The first black shadow flashed to the side, turned around and pounced on Chen San, stabbing the knife in his hand straight into his right rib.

Chen San swung the knife in his right hand and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the left and pounced towards the open space on his left.

Chen San, who was attacked from three sides, discovered that his opponents had good cooperation and great skills, and were not ordinary people.

He was just an ordinary Jinyiwei military school student, not some peerless master. He could barely deal with three or five ordinary people, but the people he faced were not ordinary people.

Chen San couldn't stop the attack from the black shadow on the left, but he didn't want to give up the door. He gritted his teeth and threw himself towards the black shadow on the left, slamming into the man's arms.

Chen San held the shadow man's knife with his right hand and pressed it against his body, making him unable to move. He then grabbed his collar, turned him sharply, threw him to the right, and pressed him against the door frame.

He pulled out the short blade from his waist with his left hand and stabbed the shadow man several times in the abdomen.

It’s just that he moved quickly, and so did the other shadow men.

The leader rushed behind Chen San, and the steel knife in his hand went straight to the vital part on his back like a poisonous snake.

The dark figure on the left took a step forward, blocking Chen San's way to dodge.

Forced into a desperate situation by the combined attack from both sides, Chen San had no choice but to stretch out his left hand, grab the knife of the leading black shadow man, turn around, and slash at the black shadow man on the left, hoping to force the black shadow man back by injuring him in exchange for injury.

The two shadowy figures behind were about to join the battle when a man flashed out from the room on the left. It was Liu Da. He cut the shadowy figures in their path with a fierce blow and shouted, "Catch the thief!

There are thieves committing crimes!"

Lights were gradually lighting up all around the station, and those who had woken up were still hesitating and weighing their options.

Is it worth it if I rush out by myself and get hurt by the thief?

Forget it. There are postmen and security personnel at the post station. Just let them go. There is no need to take risks.

Liu Da continued to shout, "Come quickly, someone wants to kill Hai Qingtian! There are thieves who want to kill Hai Rui, Hai Qingtian!"

what?
How dare someone kill Hai Rui, the Justice of the Sea!
The entire Anbaoli Post Station was in an uproar. Dozens or even hundreds of people ran out of the rooms, holding various weapons in their hands, including swords, table and chair legs, door bolts, firewood, and rakes, and gathered here.

"You bastard! Don't hurt Hai Qingtian!"

"My dear men, if we let the thieves hurt Hai Qingtian right under our noses, we will never be able to face people again in this life! We will be criticized by the world and our ancestors will be disgraced!"

At this time, more than a dozen postmen also ran over holding torches and carrying swords and guns.

Dozens of people rushed into the yard. Under the light of several torches, they could see at a glance that several people were wearing black clothes and covering their faces. They were obviously not good people.

"Fight!"

"Kill these bastards!"

Dozens of people rushed forward, and weapons of all kinds were raised up like rain, quickly submerging the several black shadows.

The leading black figure was smart. When he saw something was wrong, he hid in the dark, then climbed over the wall and hid in a corner outside. When everyone rushed into the small courtyard, he took the opportunity to run outside.

I had just turned a corner and was looking back to see if anyone was catching up with me when I suddenly heard someone calling out to me from the front.

"Dog thief!"

The shadowy figure quickly turned around and saw a fat man with a big head and thick neck standing in front of him, holding a long-handled iron spoon in his hand.

He glared and swung his hand fiercely.

The leading black figure was unable to dodge and was hit hard on half of his face by the iron spoon. Without even having time to make a sound, he fainted and fell to the ground with a thud.

"There's another one here! I knocked one out. Here he is!
Bah! How dare you harm Hai Qingtian? I will beat you to death!" The postmaster of the post station came out to maintain order, and he and the postmen tied up the thieves.

Including the four in the room on the right, there were nine thieves in total.

The two thieves who had previously sneaked into the middle room were knocked down, either dead or injured.

Chen San killed one and injured another.

Liu Da injured two people.

The chef of the post station knocked one of them unconscious with a spoon, who was their leader. The remaining two were beaten half to death by the crowd and then captured alive.

"Captain Liu, you have already noticed something is wrong."

Liu Da had no time to answer the postmaster's words, so he just urged: "Doctor, have you found a doctor? Are there any troops stationed nearby? Send someone to ask for the military doctors of the garrison, they are the best at treating knife and gun wounds."

The postmaster replied quickly, "I have sent people to the nearby town to invite a doctor. It is five or six miles away and he will come soon. There is no doctor near the garrison, only in Baoding City, which is too far away.

Captain Liu, are any of your companions injured?"

"Took two stab wounds, in the chest and abdomen"

"Captain, captain!" Hu Guangmao shouted in the house.

Liu Dalian rushed in.

Chen San lay in Hu Guangmao's arms, his bloody right hand was tightly held by Hai Rui beside him, his face was pale, his lips were black, and his eyes were dull.

"Chen San, we'll be home soon." Liu Da squatted down and held Chen San's left hand.

The blood on my hands hadn't completely coagulated yet, but it was cold.

"You will be able to go to Beijing in two days. When you return home, your second son will have to hold a wedding banquet, and the newlyweds will kowtow to your son. Next year you will be able to hold your eldest grandson."

Chen San spat out blood foam from his mouth and said incoherently: "Grandson, Master Hai, please help me choose a name that will bring honor to our family."

Unable to utter the last word, Chen San took his last breath and looked blankly towards the north, where was the capital city and his family.

Hu Guangmao hugged Chen San, lowered his head and started crying.

Hai Rui's face was as stern as ice. He held Chen San's right hand with both of his hands and said, "I will definitely give him a name and recommend a good teacher to him so that he can have a promising future and bring honor to the family."

Liu's eyes were red, and he held back his tears as he reached out to close Chen San's eyes.

Hai Rui shook his sleeves, walked out of the house, and asked, "Where is the bandit leader?"

The chef quickly pulled out the tied-up man in black and said, "Master Hai, here, the thief leader is here. I knocked him out."

Hai Rui walked up to him, cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, sir!"

"Hey, hey, it's just a piece of cake, hehe." The chef was so happy that he was speechless.

Hai Rui glanced at the leading man in black.

The black scarf was torn off, and half of his face was swollen and red like a steamed bun, and his mouth was squeezed into a crooked shape.

"Liu Da, come out and do business."

"Yes." Liu Da wiped away his tears and asked Hu Guangmao to find someone to help collect Chen San's body, and find a coffin to transport it back to the capital at dawn.

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

"Master Hai."

"Drag this fellow into your room. I want to question him."

"Yes!" Liu Dayi stretched out his hand, grabbed the hair of the leading black-clad man, and pulled hard. The black-clad man screamed, stumbled, and was dragged into the room on the left, and kicked to the ground.

Hai Rui got a piece of cloth from somewhere and wiped the blood on his hands. It was the blood on Chen San's hands. He walked calmly to the leader of the men in black, squatted down, and looked left and right to see if the blood on his hands had been wiped clean.

He raised his head and asked coldly, "You are quite skilled, you must be from the Jinyiwei Military Academy. Tell me, are you a guard of Xiangfan or Zhoufan?"
