Chapter 340: Coach Yinren
The person who came was none other than Li Chengqian, the chief martial arts instructor of Yinren Town and the former captain of the mountain patrol team!
The reason why Lin Fenghuo called him "Uncle" was certainly not out of greeting...
Li Chengqian is slightly older than Lin Rufa. You must know that when Yi Xifeng went to find this master of weapon refining to make the scabbard for his treasured sword, Lin Rufa once said that the special piece of meteorite iron came from Li Chengqian's exploration of the ancient ruins. , a wedding gift to him.
At that time, Lin Fenghuo was not born yet. Therefore, as a third-generation descendant of Yinren Village, when facing Li Chengqian, he must regard himself as a junior. When he was a child, he could still let him get away with relying on his young age. In the past six months, this dark-faced grandson of the Lin family has grown up a lot. Naturally, he can no longer think of calling him "Coach Chengqian" like before!
Li Chengqian was unshaven at this time, but his gleaming eyes were still like stars.
"I haven't seen you for more than half a year. If it weren't for the inner energy, I would hardly recognize you brats."
Zhou Di had received advice from Li Chengqian when he was young, so he was naturally very respectful to him. Moreover, since he was now the captain of the Iron Guard, he was naturally very aware of the strength of the former captain of the mountain patrol team.
"Chief Coach, you are back! A lot has indeed happened in the past half year or so." Zhou Di said excitedly, holding the Fangtian Halberd.
Li Chengqian stood up slowly, carrying the red-armored cavalryman Liu Dong in one hand, and looked back at the Chunfeng River bank where he had just come.
"So fast? This Yan Mingbo is not bad at all!" the man said in surprise.
When the black-armored soldiers saw that their leader was pinned to the ground with a move, they naturally did not dare to take action rashly, but they could not let them go, so they had to continue to surround here and wait for the situation to develop further.
After about half a cup of tea, a figure appeared on the opposite side of the Chunfeng River. He obviously noticed something strange here. Li Chengqian couldn't control his aura, he was sure that the other party would be aware of his presence.
As expected, Gang Leader Yan, who was wearing a black cloak, only hesitated for a few breaths before using Qinggong and riding the waves. When he crossed the Chunfeng River and reached the shore, hundreds of masked men wearing leather armor appeared one after another in the dense forest. They were Yan Mingbo's black-turbaned warriors!
It's just that these people don't have as good light skills as their elders, so they have to get into the water one after another and swim to the other side together.
"I'm the leader of Chunfeng Town, Yan Mingbo. I've met you sir." Yan Mingbo, who was wearing a black cloak, looked at the slovenly-looking middle-aged man in front of him and said politely.
As the leader of a force, being the first to report home in one's own territory is considered a kind of respect or courtesy.
Li Chengqian was still wearing the same gray and white cloak he had before, but he had been wearing it in the historic site for more than half a year, and not many other colors could be seen in the original white part.
"Yinren, Li Chengqian!" the middle-aged man replied with his hands in hand.
Yan Mingbo's eyes narrowed. As the leader of one of the six forces in Luoye County, he naturally knew something about the strong ones among the major forces around him. Moreover, this leader of the Yan Gang is an ambitious person, so he is naturally more concerned about the recent rapid rise of Yinren Town.
Among them, he naturally knew the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao.
"It turns out he's one of the Yinren duo, whom I've admired for a long time!" The man chuckled, and his warm smile gave people a friendly feeling.
Li Chengqian didn't show the slightest emotion due to the other party's politeness. He just said calmly: "Gang Leader Yan is too polite. He is just a coach who takes care of children. The two heroes can't talk about it. It's just..."
Having said this, the middle-aged man paused, and a strong internal energy wave swept across the audience. He stared at the burly man in front of him and said slowly: "I want to ask Gang Leader Yan, how did these children offend you? You actually asked these black knights from Luoye City to teach them a lesson."
Yan Mingbo still had a smile on his face. He could feel the strong inner strength of the other party, which was the only thing he had ever seen in his life! However, as the overlord of one party and on his own territory, even if the other party is a strong man in the heroic realm, he cannot back down in the slightest.
At this moment, there was a rustle behind him, and soon a group of dead soldiers masked in black scarves and wearing leather armor appeared in front of everyone.
The people behind Li Chengqian were lucky. After all, after the bloody battle just now, their side was already at the end of its strength. If a middle-aged man hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have been shot dead by the magic-breaking crossbow or captured.
But the black-armored soldiers who were always on guard around them were a little panicked.
The leader of our side was captured by Li Chengqian with one move. Fortunately, they were well-trained black cavalry. There were four hundred people on his side, and they were equipped with magic-breaking crossbows. On the other side, there were only middle-aged men, young men with halberds, and Several boys and girls.
At this time, they have been heavily surrounded. If they really have to fight hard, they will still be able to fight.
Unfortunately, the opportunity passed quickly, and the appearance of Yan Mingbo made them dare not take action rashly. They were not Li Chengqian. The black-armored soldiers did not have the confidence to think that they could successfully escape back to Luoye City after offending the Yan gang leader in Chunfeng Town.
However, what really frightened the black-armored soldiers was the appearance of the black-turbaned dead soldiers.
Yes, they are the same four hundred people, equally well-trained, but the difference is that they are generally stronger!
…
Yan Mingbo looked at the group of black-armored soldiers who appeared out of nowhere in front of him, feeling both shocked and angry.
If Yan Mingbo felt a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's sudden intrusion into the historic valley, he had nothing to say about such a thing. After all, no one here in Chunfeng Town can enter this historic site, and there is no strength to prevent others from entering.
Therefore, after the middle-aged men came out of the ancient ruins, the policy of Chunfeng Town was still to be polite before fighting. The main reason why he fought was because Gang Leader Yan was afraid of losing news about this person again, so he had no choice but to let his subordinates hold him back.
However, Yan Mingbo's softened attitude towards these words does not mean that he is a person who allows others to bully him. Ji Rentu asked his black cavalry to lead troops to attack the fishermen in Chunfeng Town. No matter who lived here, this was a naked provocation.
This would never be allowed to happen to any actual controller of the force.
Leader Yan stopped his smile and said seriously to Li Chengqian: "If I say that I know nothing about this matter, sir, will you believe me?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't wait for him to answer. A series of screams sounded from the surroundings one after another.
I saw a black-turbaned soldier quickly approaching these black-armored soldiers. Before the other party could turn the direction of the magic-breaking crossbow, he was wiped from the neck.
The next moment, the "buzzing" sound of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow sounded again, but this time it was much more chaotic. Along with the sound of the crossbow arrows entering the flesh, there were more sounds of the blade slicing the throat.
This battle that was fought in silence only lasted for more than ten breaths, and then it came to an end in a hurry.
Li Chengqian watched this happen quietly without saying a word to disturb him.
At this time, a dead soldier covered in blood walked up behind Yan Mingbo and whispered a few words to him.
The sturdy Yan Mingbo nodded and said again: "Mr. Li is aware that Yan really doesn't know, so don't let down Chunfeng Town's good intentions!"
Speaking of this, the meaning has been made very clear: I really don't know about this matter, even if I know, it's okay, I will kill them all to vent your anger, you see, we can talk about business Bar?
The middle-aged man grinned and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to use the word sir. I am just a coach. You can call me Coach Li."
………………Dividing line………………
Zhang Ming led everyone and gradually got rid of the pursuit of the black-armored soldiers behind him. After all, everyone was a martial arts practitioner, and their physical fitness was much stronger than that of the black-armored soldiers.
Even Zhao Long, who had the weakest physical strength among them, managed to keep up with the team even though he deliberately trained his physical skills.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, we have temporarily escaped the enemy's pursuit behind us, what should we do next?" Yi Xifeng, who had been maintaining the sword screen from all directions before, suddenly asked.
The fair boy's meaning was very clear. Now that he had escaped, he could not just plunge into Chunfeng Town. Whether there is someone there to respond is secondary. What is more important is the attitude of the other party.
If that Yan Mingbo really planned to form a union with Luoye City, wouldn't he be giving the other party a big gift if he and his group went there? People were worried that they didn't have any greeting gifts for Ji Shen, but now, the greeting gifts came to Ji Shen's door.
Zhang Ming, who was leading the team at the front, said calmly: "Of course it's not good to go directly, but we are almost at the border of Chunfeng Town, and there should be someone there to meet us!"
Yi Xifeng and the people around him looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Their choice to escape from Luoye City tonight through Xuanwu Gate in the southwest was a temporary decision. Where could they find any foreign aid? Even if there is, it is unlikely to come from Chunfeng Town.
However, their group and the young man in brocade clothes can be regarded as people who have lived and died together. Although they still don't know what the other party's plans are, Zhang Ming's ability has been obvious to all.
Presumably, this Yao Wan who walks around the world will not be aimless.
…
Baruch led the team to carefully search the border area, and did not find any Chunfeng Town troops ambushing here. In this way, the bombing of Southwest Xuanwu Gate probably had little to do with Chunfeng Town.
Of course, although this inference is somewhat arbitrary, it is very likely that the other party chose to retreat early because they had not received a letter from the spies and felt that things had changed.
But to say what the real situation is, I’m afraid only the parties concerned know it.
"Sir, we have searched it all, and there is no trace of anyone stationed here." A soldier in black armor bowed and said.
Baruch did not bring many people with him on this trip. He originally wanted to gather 400 people to bring a whole team over, but the city gate was destroyed and all the guards could not be transferred away, so he could only bring out these 200 people.
While they were continuing to patrol near the border, a small team appeared from behind them. After seeing these black-armored soldiers, they were startled at first, and then sent a signal.
The black-armored soldiers were wary of the group of people who suddenly appeared from behind, but they still recognized the source of the signal.
"Sir, I am the Sandman from the Shahe Gang." The black-armored soldier just explained.
Baruch nodded. He had received a letter from Batu before and knew that Qin Kai and the Shahe Gang would be involved in this operation. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Yin Shisan even ordered Xie Huangqi to send out all the people from the Sand People organization under his command.
This is why he chose to use careful echelon deployment when approaching the border. The purpose is to guard against unknown enemies.
"Let them come."
This sandman team is not large, only eight people. As an elite assassination team, this number can ensure sufficient lethality while maintaining sufficient concealment.
The Sandman organization all wears black night clothes and facial scarves or masks. After all, they are doing shady things, so it is naturally necessary to keep their identities confidential.
"Are you from the Shahe Gang?" Although Baruch recognized the other party's identity, he still asked.
The first person wearing a mask said: "Shahesha people! I have been ordered to eliminate enemies on the border!"
The young man named Baruch smiled and replied: "I have already led people to explore this area, and there is no trace of the enemy."
The sand man paused, turned around and whispered a few words to the person behind him. Then he turned around and continued:
"I have orders from the superior to go to Chunfeng Town to investigate and report the truth."
The young man nodded and sighed inwardly: Sure enough, the Shahe Gang can be so unscrupulous in their work. I don’t want our six-door soldiers guarding Luoye City to take the overall situation into consideration no matter what we do. However, they are not as straightforward and clear as these Jianghu sects.
Baruch cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
Then he ordered people to lead the way and sent these sand people into the boundary of Chunfeng Town.
…
Li Xintian looked at the black-armored soldiers watching them behind him, and his originally calm breathing suddenly became rapid. Unexpectedly, they really got through.
In fact, when they were about to reach the border between the two sides, they encountered the Shahe Gang's sand people who came on orders. Facing eight people including Zhang Ming and Zhang Yanshi, this elite assassination team did not perform as well as they should.
Qin Hongyao naturally recognized the identities of this group of people at a glance, and then guessed why the Shahe Gang sent this group of people to chase them. At the suggestion of the enchanting woman, everyone put on the Sandman's night clothes and masks.
Then at the border, such a scene took place.
You must know that the opponent has more than 200 black-armored soldiers, and each of them is wearing a magic-breaking crossbow. If they really want to fight, it will be difficult for everyone to deal with them in a short time. As long as time passes, Qin Kai behind them will definitely arrive with his crowd.
When the time comes to attack from both front and back, the situation will naturally be a life-or-death situation!
And often it is this time of death and no life that is exactly the opportunity to find life in a desperate situation. As the saying goes, the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine out of forty!
No matter what kind of desperate situation you are in, as long as you persist, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
In fact, according to Qin Kai's plan, he led his troops to pursue them, and with Ji Rentu and others sitting in Chunfeng Town, Chunfeng Town had no reason to reject Luoye City, whether it was strategically or cooperatively. These people will be tied up and handed over to him.
As for Yin Shisan's plan, he believed that he and Qin Kai were pressing behind them. As long as the sand people could stop them a little, they would be able to catch up and intercept them before entering the border.
Batu also had his own plans. He hated the group of people who blew up the Xuanwu Gate in the southwest, but what he was really worried about was every move in Chunfeng Town. That's why he sent his son to ambush such an elite soldier at the border between the two sides to prepare for a sudden attack from Chunfeng Town.
The three generals all had their own plans. To put it into detail, if they were carried out alone, it was unlikely that Zhang Ming and the others would be able to escape, and the battle damage would definitely be considerable.
But when Qin Kai, Yin Shisan, and Batu really worked together, there were loopholes that were difficult to erase!
