Chapter 985 Someone is always looking for death
Do you not know, or do you dare not say?
Lin Zhongtian glanced at Liu Xian, thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Liu Xianru was granted amnesty, and immediately turned around and walked to his unconscious colleagues, woke them up one by one, told them the truth, led them to chase the convoy ahead, and continued to perform his mission.
As for the assassin who lost too much blood and passed out, they stayed behind.
The reason is also very simple. This assassin is indeed their trophy, but they are also Lin Zhongtian's trophy.
They had the humiliating experience of being knocked down by Lin Zhongtian alone. How could they have the nerve to ask Lin Zhongtian for prisoners.
The veteran with missing front teeth walked up to the assassin, took out a ginseng tendril from his arms, stuffed it into the assassin's mouth, hung up his life for him, and then began to treat the assassin's injuries to prevent him from bleeding to death.
Lao Jiang walked to Lin Zhongtian, glanced at the backs of Liu Xian and others as they left, curled his lips and said, "If I, Lao Jiang, read correctly, these brats should all be from Baiqisi."
"I just didn't expect that Baiqisi would become so bad in just a few years. I don't know where those frightened warriors have gone. Why are there only a few young boys left now..."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and chuckled: "Where else can we go, of course to enjoy wealth!"
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with emotion: "Wealth is a knife for killing people. I don't know if the old guys back then can still use the knife now..."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "I don't know about the others, but you are still going strong."
Lao Jiang was flattered and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"
Lin Zhongtian raised his hand and patted Lao Jiang's shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "The assassin will be left to you. You can decide among yourselves who will be taken back for interrogation. Junior brother has just entered the academy, so there is no need to worry about safety. It will be just right once and for all. Catch up with the wedding team’s return.”
Lao Jiang looked serious and accepted the order: "Yes, sir."
Lin Zhongtian gave one more instruction: "Today is my junior brother's special day. Remember not to commit murder. Of course, if you have to, don't hesitate at all when killing."
A smile appeared on Lao Jiang's face: "Sir, don't worry, the old man understands. To be honest, if I hadn't wanted to accumulate some virtue for the Marquis, how would this assassin have been attacked by Baiqisi's brats!"
Lin Zhongtian laughed, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then turned and left, disappearing from the eyes of the two of them in a moment.
Lao Jiang's dark eyes glanced at the direction in which Lin Zhongtian left, and he couldn't help but marveled: "As expected of Master Hou's senior brother, his skills are like those of gods. I, Lao Jiang, have seen the world, but if I hadn't followed Hou Lord, I’ve never seen such a person before!”
The veteran who had taken care of the assassin's injury stood up, and when he heard Lao Jiangtou's words, he immediately smiled and said: "Didn't Mr. Hou say that when he was around the old god, Mr. Hou was the most favored and the most playful. "
"But even so, the Marquis has grown into such an amazing person."
"Mr. Lin, as the senior brother of the Marquis, has both civil and military skills, so it is reasonable..."
Lao Jiang nodded in agreement and said with longing, "I don't know what kind of charm that old god is."
The veteran who was missing his front teeth laughed loudly, grabbed the assassin and carried him on his back. He said with a smile: "I'm afraid we won't be lucky enough to see each other!"
…
…
In Chang'an City, a city dominated by the Tiger Gang, a young man in white was walking on a sparsely populated street.
Today is the wedding day of Lantian Hou Yunye, and it is also a rare large-scale social opportunity for the dignitaries of Chang'an City recently.
I don't know how many Chang'an dignitaries and aristocratic families have prepared carriages and are preparing to go to the Yun family to attend the wedding banquet.
Princes, princes, princes, and even princes and princes all traveled today, causing the alert level of Chang'an City to instantly increase by several levels.
Under such circumstances, the local gang members who were usually domineering have become ordinary people. They stay in the gang strongholds honestly and do not dare to stroke the official tiger's beard at this time.
This also made it convenient for Lin Zhongtian to easily find out the location of the Tiger Gang's headquarters.
Looking at the high-walled compound in front of him that only wealthy businessmen could afford, Lin Zhongtian thought for a while, then broke off a branch from the tree next to him, then held the branch to the door and knocked politely.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
There was a knock on the door, and an impatient voice came from within the courtyard wall.
"Who?"
Lin Zhongtian said politely: "My surname is Lin. I came today because I have some debt disputes with your gang."
"Oh?" The voice inside the door changed, "Are you here to pay off a debt?"
Lin Zhongtian had a smile on his face but did not respond directly.
There were footsteps inside the door, as if someone quickly walked to the door and opened the door impatiently.
"I didn't even pick a time to repay my debt. How dare I come here to pay it back today—"
Before he finished speaking, the voice of the person who opened the door suddenly stopped.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the young man in white outside the door in surprise: "Who are you?"
Lin Zhongtian ignored him and turned his attention to the house behind the man.
I saw about a dozen big men in the courtyard, forming three tables of mahjong. They were guarding the courtyard and playing mahjong for money.
Hearing the shouts of joy or annoyance in the courtyard, Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and walked into the courtyard holding the branches.
Seeing this scene, the man at the door widened his eyes, and immediately raised his hand and pushed it to his chest: "Who the hell let you in - ah!!"
Before he finished speaking, the rude words that came out of his mouth turned into an extremely miserable wail of pain.
The big men playing mahjong in the yard stood up suddenly and looked at the door in shock and anger.
A young man in white holding a branch walked into the yard. The man behind him leaned against the wall with his back and screamed in pain. Looking at his right arm hanging limply by his side, it was obviously broken by the man in white.
"Noisy..."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at the man who was still screaming behind him, and swung the branch in his hand and whipped him on the temple.
The huge force hit, the man's head tilted, and he fell directly to the ground and got a baby-like sleep.
Seeing this scene, the other big men in the yard were shocked and angry, and immediately pushed down the tables and chairs, and each picked up their own weapons.
Lin Zhongtian took a look and found that the Tiger Gang was indeed quite powerful. Even these big men who were guarding the house could afford weapons made of 100-fold steel. This equipment was much more luxurious than that of ordinary palace soldiers.
But unfortunately, no matter how well-armed the soldiers were, they were all equally fragile in front of him.
Lin Zhongtian held a branch in his hand, took a step, and walked towards the yard as if no one was around.
Of the eleven big men left in the yard, one withdrew and went to report the news, while the rest rushed up with weapons in their hands, roaring.
"Pa--"
Lin Zhongtian swung the branch in his hand, and the first slap hit the wrist of the big man in the front, leaving a deep scar that could be seen to the bone, making him unable to help but let go of the weapon and open his mouth.
But before he could scream, the retracted branch quickly swung a second time and hit him on the head.
So, the big man rolled his eyes, didn't even hum, and fell asleep like the man at the door.
Lin Zhongtian looked calm as he continued to walk forward, his eyes fixed on the house in front of him. He kept swinging the branches in his hands, without even looking at the guards rushing up, and accurately avoided the weapons and hit their wrists and temples.
"Ping ping pong pong--"
In just a moment, dozens of weapons were knocked down by Lin Zhongtian and fell to the ground, making continuous sounds.
The men who rushed in front were also hit on the temples by the branches, and they fainted completely with the last fear and confusion.
The remaining men covered their bleeding wrists, looked at the white figure walking leisurely in front of them in horror, and kept retreating.
But no matter whether they retreated in horror or turned around and fled in panic, there was a branch carrying airflow whistling, like the soul-catching lock in the hands of the underworld messenger, giving them a baby-like sleep.
In just ten seconds, Lin Zhongtian took ten steps.
All ten men in the yard fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at the branch in his hand and saw that it had been beaten to pieces by him. He could only throw it away with regret, and picked up a long stick with iron wrapped at both ends from the ground and walked into the house in front.
As soon as he stepped into the gate, three crossbow arrows flew from the front and nailed to the ground in front of Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and looked up. He saw more than 20 big men gathered in the hall, each wearing armor and holding swords. It can be said that they were armed to the teeth.
Behind these more than 20 armored soldiers, there were seven people holding strong crossbows, aiming at Lin Zhongtian.
Surrounded by crossbowmen and armored soldiers, there was a big man with pale skin. He had a rough face and fierce eyes. He was also wearing armor and holding a big knife, staring fiercely at the young man in white at the door.
There was no doubt that this man was the leader of the Tiger Gang, nicknamed White Tiger.
Looking at the pale face of Bai Lao Hu, Lin Zhongtian suddenly realized why this guy was called Bai Lao Hu. It turned out that he was born with albinism!
In this era, albinism is a symbol of supernatural power for ordinary people and even the powerful.
As we all know, since ancient times, people with supernatural appearance often have extraordinary deeds. Bai Lao Hu should have been appreciated by big figures with his peculiar appearance of albinism, which is why he has grown from a rogue to what he is now.
Looking at the silent young man in white in the hall, Bai Lao Hu said coldly: "Who are you and why do you want to make trouble with my Tiger Gang?"
Today, a nobleman is getting married, Chang'an is under martial law, and the big figures in the court are out in full force. Under such circumstances, a master suddenly came to the door and knocked out his subordinates without saying a word. How could he not be frightened in his heart?
Because of this, he did not kill Lin Zhongtian, but warned him with a strong crossbow and tried to ask questions.
But he didn't expect that facing the siege of more than 20 armored soldiers and seven strong crossbowmen, the young man in white remained unmoved, and instead looked at him with a smile.
"You are the White Tiger?"
The White Tiger frowned and said coldly: "Yes."
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said: "Privately hiding armor is a capital crime."
The White Tiger sneered: "Do you need to tell me? I have been in Chang'an for many years. Don't I know this?"
"To tell you the truth, before you stepped into this door, I had already ordered someone to send a message. Now the outside is full of my people. You can neither enter nor retreat."
"Instead of dying on the spot, it is better to surrender. Considering your good skills, I can spare your life. As long as you tell me the name of the person behind the scenes, I will allow you to join the Tiger Gang. How about it?"
Hearing the words of the White Tiger, Lin Zhongtian was quite surprised. It seemed that he didn't expect that this man had some brains and wanted to take advantage of the situation and turn him from an enemy to a friend.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhongtian nodded and said: "It makes sense. Since I am now in a dilemma and in a desperate situation, you might as well tell me who is putting a bounty on the life of Marquis Lantian in the world?"
The white tiger was startled when he heard this, and then his face turned gloomy. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he suddenly raised his hand and said: "Kill!"
"call out--"
The seven crossbowmen immediately pulled the triggers and shot seven arrows.
Seeing this, Lin Zhongtian sighed, and immediately swung his stick, violent energy roared out, like a strong wind sweeping the ground, instantly blowing away seven arrows.
Then, the energy remained unabated and roared forward, causing the more than 20 soldiers to scream in surprise and fall backwards with a crash.
Seeing this scene, White Tiger and everyone around him were shocked and looked ahead in disbelief.
I saw Lin Zhongtian holding a stick in one hand, and invisible energy suddenly burst out of his body, distorting the surrounding air. He blocked the door of the lobby like a demon coming, and said in a faint tone:
"It's obviously a happy day, why do some people always seek death?"
