Chapter 328 Ambush
It was getting dark.

At this moment, on the highest attic of the house in Iron Lion Alley, Sun Dan, Han Yue, and Feng Zhen were sitting in front of the window and staring at the courtyard outside.

Yuan Chaozong's arrow skills are really amazing. He deserves to be Guo Xun's guard back then. A warrior who can take on the duty of guarding Wu Dinghou is naturally not a generation of Yiji.

Since he decided to ambush the master sent by Huang Jin, this arrow shot is naturally very useful.If you can shoot and kill a few enemies in one encounter, the next thing will be easier.The three masters of the Mo family are good at melee combat, and together with Yuan Chaozong's long-range attack, everything has been properly arranged.

The current Yuan Chaozong had already sat on a big arhat pine beside the west wing room early. This big tree grew very luxuriantly. If you don't pay attention, it's really not easy to see people.

Sun Dan also searched for a long time before he saw that guy was sitting on a horizontal branch as thick as an arm, holding a walking bow with extremely strong range and penetrating power in his hand, and two sacks were hanging by his feet. It was full of long arrows, and in order not to be discovered, the tail feathers of those long arrows were replaced with black eagle feathers.

It is said that eagle feathers are the best arrow material.Long arrows with large carved feathers as tail feathers can maintain a straight trajectory when passing through the air, no matter how strong the wind is.If it is replaced by long arrows made of goose feathers or other feathers, it will fly randomly in the air when the wind is strong.Therefore, as a kind of military material, the price of eagle feathers in the market is extremely high, and it all depends on the import of grassland peoples to the Central Plains.There is also the so-called "Genghis Khan, who only knows how to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle". It is estimated that Temu really wanted to make arrows from the feathers of sheep and eagles.

The pine tree where Yuan Chaozong hid is on the right hand side of the gate of the house. If he wants, the entire courtyard is within the range of his long arrow, and there is no dead angle.

The three masters of the Mo family hid in the West Wing and the East Wing respectively. Once the enemy appeared, they would immediately kill them.

In order to win over Yun Chaozong and the three masters of the Mohist family, Sun Dan generously added money to the four Ming Dynasty underworld bosses, which stabilized them.

As long as this ticket is completed and the two people from the "Rejuvenation Hall" pharmacy are successfully sent to the south, these four people will be able to earn enough wealth for their entire lives.

Snobbery makes people fight, and money moves people's hearts. Although these four people know that the enemy is very strong, they still have to fight hard.

Looking at the note that Chen Hong sent from the palace in his hand, Sun Dan pondered: Let alone the big eagle and the little eagle, this is Huang Jin's first and second best player, and the four brothers of the Jin family are on the battlefield. The sharp fighters who have been fighting for many years, these six people can be said to be the most useful thugs in Huang Jin's hands, and they are not easy to deal with.But if they were wiped out in one fell swoop, it would be like cutting off Huang Jin's hands, and it would be inconvenient for him to do things in the future.

However, among these six people, who should be used first?
Sun Dan thought for a long time before deciding to ask Yuan Chaozong to kill the four brothers of the Jin family first.Speaking of it, the martial arts of Big Eagle and Little Eagle should be better than the four brothers of the Jin family.However, the four brothers of the Jin family came out of the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. They have extremely rich fighting experience. When they really see real chapters fighting for their lives, they are probably three points better than ordinary martial arts masters.

As for the big and small eagles, it is enough to have the three masters of the Mo family and Guo Pu to deal with them. Everyone is a good player, a good player against a good player, four to two, and they should be able to win.

Besides, in this attic, Sun Dan still brought two masters, Han Yue and Feng Zhen, to sit there.Six to six, the enemy is open and we are dark, no matter how you look at it, Sun Dan will win this battle.

Soon, Sun Dan made a decision and passed on his plan.

Speaking of which, Chen Hong is really easy to use, and he can get such important information in his hands. It seems that his idea of ​​lurking Chen Hong by Huang Jin's side was very good.If it wasn't for Lu Fang, Chen Hong would have died for no reason.

After reading the note in his hand, Sun Dan passed it to Han Yue beside him.Han Yue didn't speak, but took it, put it in her mouth, chewed it until it was mushy, and swallowed it in one gulp.

At this time, the two businessmen sitting in a corner of the attic were trembling all over, causing the floor to make a slight sound.

Sun Dan was startled by the noise, and frowned imperceptibly.

These two people are shopkeeper An and Guan Xiaoer of Huichun Hall. They were caught by Han Yue and tied up like two rice dumplings and thrown on the attic.Sun Dan felt that being tied up like this was not an option. If it really aroused their resistance, it would be a long way from Beijing to the south. I'm afraid there would be many variables, and they had to be willing to do it.

Therefore, Sun Dan ordered someone to untie them and let them wait in the attic.

Now, seeing that the two of them were terrified, Sun Dan turned his head and said gently, "Shopkeeper An, Brother Guan."

Hearing what Sun Dan said, Shopkeeper An's face paled and he moved his lips for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.It was Guan Xiaoer who was younger and more courageous, summoned up his courage, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

This sound alarmed Shopkeeper An, and the two of them knelt on the ground at the same time, bumping their heads against the floor: "My lord, please spare me!"

Han Yue's complexion changed, and she said in a low voice, "Get up, don't make such a loud noise, or I will cut you off."

Shopkeeper An and the two were so frightened that Gu Lu stood up.

Sun Dan laughed, and said: "I'm not a king, and I won't kill you. By the way, I'm free now anyway, Lao An, and the official brother, let's talk. Sit down." He smiled politely at the two of them.

The two hurriedly sat on chairs.

Shopkeeper An murmured, "You arrested us here just to ask for a ransom?"

Han Yue sneered and scolded in a low voice: "My master is very rich, how could he tie your tickets, how much are you worth?"

Sun Dan asked gently: "Master An, Brother Guan, how much salary do you get a month in the pharmacy?"

Shopkeeper An hurriedly replied: "Master, this old man is just an ordinary shopkeeper, one month is only one or two months. As for Guan Xiaoer, he is an apprentice and has no salary."

"Oh, one or two taels, the income is not bad." Sun Dan said again: "I don't know who else is in your family?"

Shopkeeper An replied: "I am from Tongbai, Henan Province. I have an old wife and four children at home. The oldest is only 12 years old, and the youngest is four years old. Although I have one, two, two months a month, the children have seen I’m growing up day by day, and I’m going to start a family and start a business in the future. How can I have enough money.” Speaking of this, Shopkeeper An sighed a long time: “I was born in a poor family, and I only need a bite of food. I also worry too much. , children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and when the time comes, I can't control so much."

"If I give you a shop, it should be able to raise the children in your hometown smoothly, right?" Sun Dan asked softly.

Shopkeeper An said: "If I can open a pharmacy, it doesn't need to be too big. Naturally, I can raise the children, and our family can be reunited. It's not like now, where the whole family is divided into two groups. We only see each other in two or three years." The last time we met, the children don’t even know me as a father.” Having said this, Shopkeeper An couldn’t help wiping away his tears.

Sun Dan looked at Guan Er and said with a smile: "Brother Guan, you are full and the whole family is not hungry. Although you have no salary, you can live a happy life. You don't have to work as hard as Shopkeeper An. Speaking of it, I am also very envious." You."

Guan Xiaoer suddenly became a little worried: "But I can't say that. Although I am young now, I will grow up one day. It is impossible to be a bachelor for a lifetime. There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. I am an orphan. Our official family But I can’t cut off the roots here. But I have no money and no house, even sister Yao, I don’t want to eat dirt and drink wind with us.”

"It seems that it's all about money." Sun Dan smiled lightly, "You must be wondering why I arrested you?"

The two were puzzled in their hearts, and asked at the same time: "Why?"

"As for why, you don't need to know." Sun Dan said: "Actually, the best way is to kill you all. However, saints have the virtue of being good at life. I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

When the two heard that Sun Dan was going to kill someone, they were both trembling with fright: "We want to say it, so please tell me, sir, but we have an order, so we dare not refuse."

Sun Dan: "I'm going to open a warehouse in Suzhou, but there's still a shortage of manpower there. In this way, you will manage that place for me in the past, and you usually only receive some raw silk. Will the silk business be done?"

Shopkeeper An hurriedly said: "Business is all about everything, left and right are just buying goods, settling accounts, and shipping goods."

Guan Xiaoer also said: "I can learn, I can read and write, and I can abacus."

Sun Dan: "That's good. After you go, I will arrange for someone to buy a store and recruit staff. You go and make the big cabinet and the second cabinet for me. The salary is five taels a month for the big cabinet, three taels for the second cabinet, and three taels for the second cabinet. There are also generous bonuses. However, you need to remain anonymous, and you cannot use your own names within three years, nor can you return to the north."

"willing!"

"willing!"

The two of them were both surprised and pleasantly surprised. After hearing what the person in front of them said, after a year, at least a hundred taels of silver can be taken.Besides, they had no choice.The group of people in front of them are vicious, with swords pinned to their waists, they are not kind people at first sight, if they refuse, their heads will fall to the ground immediately.

"Okay, you just sit here and wait. When this matter is over, I will send you out of the city to Suzhou. However, if you see something later, please don't shout." After the two people were settled, Sun Dan felt relieved.As a modern person, he still can't treat human life like nothing.Especially this kind of ordinary people, if you can give them a way to survive, let them do so.

"Here we come." Feng Zhen beside him suddenly whispered.

Sun Dan hurriedly moved his eyes to look forward. In order to make it easier for Yuan Chaozong to shoot and kill the enemy, lights were specially lit in the yard.

When he looked at it, he saw a light flickering suddenly at the crack of the gate.This ray of light is extremely weak, if you don't pay attention, you really can't find it.

Sun Dan was also wondering: what is this thing?

At this moment, the door was pushed open silently, and a short man with a dagger in his hand jumped in, observing the surroundings furtively.The dagger in his hand gleamed crystal-clearly in the light.

Seeing the door being pushed open silently, Sun Dan was so frightened that he almost cried out.He remembered that the gate was bolted, but now it was pushed open with a light push.

Only then did he understand that the gleam of light just now was the reflection of the sharp blade in the enemy's hand.It turned out that before entering the yard, the enemy quietly inserted a knife into the crack of the door and cut off the latch.

The gate of the yard was about a foot wide, and it was cut in half like tofu, which showed how sharp the short knife was and how strong the enemy's hands were.

The visitor is not mediocre.

The man with the dagger was moving extremely fast, and rushed to the attic where Sun Dan was located.He hid in the shadows of flowers and trees and didn't show his face for a long time.

However, it was easy for Sun Dan to see him clearly when he was condescending.With a bald chin and no beard, this guy is obviously a eunuch in the palace.The short knife was used again, if I guessed correctly, it should be Huang Jin's master named Xiaoying.

Because Sun Dan did not give an order, Guo Pu, the three masters of the Mo family and Yuan Chaozong did not launch either.

Suddenly there was an eerie silence in the yard.

After a long time, Xiaoying straightened up from the flowers and trees, and waved towards the gate of the courtyard.

In an instant, five figures rushed in silently from outside and ran to Xiaoying.

Among the five people, there was a tall and thin eunuch-like man, holding a three-section stick in his hand, with a spear point on one end of the stick, he must be a big eagle.

The other four were tall and majestic, and all of them were armed with Ming army-style goose feather sabers. These four should be Jin Lichun, Jin Lixia, Jin Liqiu, and Jin Lidong.

The six gathered together, and Daying whispered to the other five: "You have seen the face and pattern of the criminal, go find it immediately. If you find any abnormal person, you will also be arrested. As for the servant girl in the yard, what is it?" All beheaded, and no richness shall be revealed."

Sun Dan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this: This Huang Jin is really vicious enough, there are at least twenty people in this house, and he can do it.

Fortunately, Sun Dan had already evacuated all the servants in advance, otherwise when the fight broke out, he didn't know what kind of chaos it would be.

"It can be activated." Sun Dan nodded to Han Yue.

Han Yue stretched out her hand, grabbed a thin hemp rope beside her and pulled it hard.

There was only a chaotic sound of "jingle bells", and the whole courtyard was filled with the crisp sound of bells.

The sudden sound of the bell made the six people in the attic startled at the same time, but it was the eagle who shouted: "There is an ambush in the middle, spread out!"

But at this moment, with a sound of "Shoot!", a jet-black long arrow pierced through the air, hitting the vest of one of the Jin family brothers standing at the back.

"Ah!" There was a tragic cry, and the man who was hit by the arrow seemed to have been whipped violently, and his body staggered forward.

The Yuan Dynasty Zong used a three-edged armor-piercing cone and a three-stone step bow in the army. Even if the enemy is wearing armor, he will shoot through it with one arrow.

What's more, Yuan Dynasty Zong's arrow skills were extremely accurate, and this arrow hit the enemy's heart.Enter from the back, and directly shoot the enemy's heart to pieces.

The man only had time to call out before he stopped breathing.

The big eagle and the little eagle were quite clever, seeing that the situation was not good, they didn't delay, and jumped to the side at the same time.

The Jin family brothers did not dare to hesitate, and spread out in all directions.

A big man hugged the deceased with tears on his face, and shouted: "Lidong, Lidong, what's wrong with you?" It turned out that the man shot to death by an arrow just now was Jin Lidong, the fourth eldest of the Jin family brothers.

Someone shouted: "Li Qiu, get out of the way, the thief is very good at arrows!"

But there is still a lot to come.

There was another sound of "Hoo!", and the jet-black long arrow shot again, entering from Jin Liqiu's left temple, and exiting from the temple again, he was so dead that he couldn't die any more.

Sun Dan watched with a surge of emotion: It's worth it, it's worth it, two masters were killed in one face-to-face meeting, the more than 1000 taels of silver from Yuan Dynasty Zong is really worth it!

"The thief is powerful!" The remaining two of the Jin family screamed angrily, but they still huddled tightly under the flower bed, not daring to come out, for fear of being shot by the enemy.After shooting two arrows, the enemy also calmed down, seeing that there was no chance, he stopped shooting.Up to now, the Jin brothers and Xiao Ying have not found any trace of the enemy.

"Big Eagle, we have to find the enemy!" Little Eagle shouted.Generally speaking, the martial arts of archers are not very strong, as long as someone finds out where they are hiding, they can easily kill them.

"Okay, I'll go find someone and watch carefully!" Daying rushed out from the dark holding a three-section stick.

At this moment, another pitch-black feather arrow shot.

Big Eagle was also clever, with a flash, the arrow hit right at the left side of his thigh, "Sudden!" A bloody arrow appeared on the side with a sound.

The pain made Da Ying almost faint, but fortunately, the enemy was finally exposed.

The eagle let out a long growl: "The enemy is on the tree, shoot him down!"

As long as the location of the archer is found, it will be easy. With the martial arts of everyone in the courtyard, and with defenses, the enemy's back arrows are useless.

Hearing the eagle's cry, Jin Lichun and Jin Lixia roared angrily, waved the Yanling saber in their hands, and rushed over.The two hated the archer on the tree to the bone, and immediately separated, one on the left and one on the right to cover each other.

"Hoo!" Another arrow shot over, and the target was Jin Lixia.It's a pity that Jin Lixia slashed the big knife in his hand at the critical moment, "Ding!", the feather arrow just hit the knife surface, splashing a little spark.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu whom the feather arrows were piercing through the air, but they were all blocked by the two Jin family brothers.

Yuan Chaozong on the tree was very anxious, seeing that Jin Lichun and Jin Lixia were about to jump under the tree, with his hand-to-hand combat skills, he was no match for these two.All of his martial arts skills are in the bow, but his white blade is only at the level of an ordinary soldier.

At this moment, his whereabouts are exposed, and staying in the tree is simply a living target.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chaozong felt a little flustered.

Over there, just as the eagle finished shouting "The enemy is on the tree, shoot him down!", the window behind him suddenly "Boom!" and shattered, and a huge black shadow smashed towards his back with the sound of fierce wind Come.

Daying groaned in his heart, it turned out that there was still someone hiding in this room.

He didn't panic, he swung the three-section cudgel in his hand, connected it into a soft spear, grabbed the tip and stabbed back, and stabbed at the enemy's face.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering Big Eagle's all-in-one attack, the enemy will choose to retreat, and his sudden blow will also be broken.

It's a pity that Daying's spear went out but missed.

At the same time, a heavy weapon hit his back fiercely, shaking his back to pieces.

Flying forward softly, the eagle still had time to take a look behind.However, what hit him was a thick Hunyuan card.But the one who wields this heavy weapon is a dwarf who is only 1.3 meters tall.

No wonder the shot missed, it turned out to be a dwarf!The shot that was supposed to hit the enemy's face barely passed over the dwarf's head.

"Old Guo is here to take your life!" Guo Pu, who had been hiding in the dark all this time, suddenly flashed out like a night owl.
