A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 114 Ambush
The next morning, it was sunny.

Coming out of the incense-filled building, Lin Yao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He checked the results of last night. Last night's banquet was very successful, and Xiangmanlou had a firm foothold in Yangzhou.

A seed was planted, and he was looking forward to what kind of flowers it would bear.

Putting down his thoughts about the future for the time being, Lin Yao admired the bustling street scene of Yangzhou Prefecture.

As the New Year approaches, the streets of Yangzhoufu are crowded with crowds of people.

All kinds of cries one after another, the laughter and cursing of adults, and the chasing and playing of naughty children, outline a prosperous scene.

Unfortunately, this is only the prosperity provided by the surroundings, and can only represent a small part of the population. More people are in a situation where it is difficult to straighten up under the oppression of life.

The main road was difficult to navigate, so Lin Yao suggested that the escort arranged by Lin Ruhai lead the team back home via a more remote branch road.

The longer the road, the more time it takes than the main street, and the remote corners are more likely to catch big fish.

"Uncle Lin, how are things going outside recently? Is there any progress?"

In a typical Jiangnan alley, Baiyuan, Daiwa, Qingshiban Road.

Lin Yao sat on the horse and asked Linda next to him.

This Lin Da and Lin Yao were both from Suzhou, and could be considered a sideline to Lin Ruhai's ancestor.

He is a very filial person and is a trustworthy person around Lin Ruhai.

Linda's resolute face showed a solemn look, and he shook his head slightly.

"Not much progress has been made. There are still some people left from the destroyed salt merchants, but they have not been completely wiped out. After all, your time in Yangzhou is still short, and your eyesight is still not as good as these local snakes."

The several salt merchants that were destroyed and the retainers who were secretly kept in captivity have all seen blood.

Proficient in assassination, detection, hiding, dressing up, etc., he can be called a low-level expert.

The salt merchant's job was to use a spoon to fish for gold in the golden sand, and he was extremely rich.In addition to the collusion between the powerful and powerful, the manpower of the three religions and nine schools should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for Lin Yao's thunderous methods, how could he be destroyed so easily?
But he still felt uneasy about missing one or two big cats and kittens, so he left the house frequently recently.

Most of these people are not so-called diehards and are loyal, but Lin Yao is afraid of being stubborn.

"Sir, why are you taking such risks with your rich body? We'd better return home quickly, those rats in the dark won't be able to reach us for more than a few days."

Linda couldn't help but persuade after thinking for a moment.

Lin Yao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I have a sense of discretion."

Hearing this, looking at Lin Yao's firm eyes, Lin Da did not speak, became more focused, and at the same time clenched the sword in his hand.

Suddenly, Lin Yao's mind moved and he thought to himself.

"I really caught it."

"Everyone be careful."

A soft shout rang in everyone's ears, and they were suddenly attacked. Lin Yao was the first to warn.

Then he took out the bow and arrows that he had not used for a long time. He drew the bow like a full moon and the arrows were like shooting stars.

"what!"

A scream was heard not far away, and a man with an arrow in his forehead fell to the ground from the roof.

Those people didn't know how Lin Yao found them so early. What was even more terrifying was that Lin Yao's bow and arrow shot straight at them instead of being thrown high.

"Protect your son."

Linda didn't even think about it and protected Lin Yao behind her.

But the two accompanying guards were not so lucky, and they did not expect to be ambushed by crossbows here.

He was caught off guard and fell from his horse with an arrow. Although he avoided the vital points and was not injured yet, he obviously suffered serious injuries.

Lin Yao's expression changed when he saw the injured two people.

He took out three exquisite arrows from the storage space and shot them at the man in black who was still loading a crossbow on the opposite roof.

"what!"

The three crossbow loaders screamed and fell to the roof after being hit by arrows. However, the remaining people on the roof were horrified and did not dare to step forward to load the crossbows.

But on both sides of the corridor, seven or eight men in black with knives appeared, attacking from both sides.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the situation changes are extremely dangerous.

The corridor was not wide, and several horses were frightened and ran wildly east and west.

The man in black who was attacking was blocked by the horse, and he became a little flustered for a while.

"Sir, let's go quickly." Linda was calm in the face of danger. He was about to rush to the side door of the corridor with Lin Yao, but he couldn't pull him back no matter what.

"Young master, you?"

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, they're just some clowns."

Lin Yao had a cold light in his eyes, and the shadows behind him were changing.

In the shadow of the corridor, red lights lit up, and the black shadow army descended.

Ninja soldiers appeared silently behind the men in black one by one. The kunai was inserted directly into the back of the target. Those who could not react were killed instantly.

The Black Shadow Corps under Lin Yao are not the ineffective ninja soldiers in the hands of the Holy Lord.

After seizing the control of the two shadow tribes from Tara, his control over the shadow corps was only weaker than that of the shadow queen Xiaoyu, and his combat effectiveness was also a success.

Linda looked at the appearance of the Black Shadow Corps in amazement. Seeing the situation change instantly, he immediately seized the opportunity to pursue them.

"Don't let those people escape, keep them alive."

Lin Yao saw the current situation and ordered the Black Shadow Corps in a deep voice.

Linda looked at Lin Yao with a strange expression as there were more than a dozen ninja soldiers standing in front of him, even the two injured guards were no exception.

The ninja soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps wear black scarves on their faces and wear black clothes all over their bodies, similar to death warriors.Its exposed blue palms are even more eerie.

Soon, a thrilling attack and killing ended in an anticlimactic ending.

The few remaining men in black were blocked in the corner, with despair on their faces after being captured.

At Lin Yao's signal, Linda stepped forward and spoke.

"You are not afraid of death, but aren't your family members, your children, and your relatives afraid of death? How dare you attack the young master? Tell the truth, otherwise you won't blame us for eradicating the roots."

When the remaining men in black heard these words, their emotions suddenly changed drastically.

If they were dead soldiers, they would have naturally left their entire family behind.

But they are not dead soldiers!How can there be so many dead soldiers in this world...

Most of them just use money to do things, and they are not necessarily afraid of death, but they absolutely do not want to implicate their family members.

Originally thought that they could be ambushed and killed only by relying on other people's crossbowmen, and they could earn a lot of money by beating the side drums, so why not do it.

Even after the incident, they had already moved far away.The Yanyuan Yamen does not have that much power to arrest them across regions.

But the black-clothed ninja soldiers who ran out of nowhere actually defeated them and forced them into a corner.

As long as Lin Ruhai is willing to put in all the effort to investigate them who were captured, they will definitely be found out.And as long as one person is found guilty, no one else can escape.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the men in black had already been shaken. He no longer wanted to hide the person behind it, and risked his whole family's lives for his employer.

"I'll give you a chance to sort out your language and go back to Yanyuan Yamen to give an honest account."

Seeing the shaken expressions of the remaining men in black, Lin Yao added lightly.

The ninja soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps were cleaning the battlefield, carefully cleaning the blood stains on the ground.

Linda and several guards couldn't help but secretly say something when they saw this method of washing the floor.

“What a professional counterpart!”

The shadow ninja quickly cleaned up the scene and slowly disappeared in front of Linda and others.

Everyone present was deeply shocked when the Black Shadow Corps returned to their shadows. The young man in front of them seemed unfathomable.

Lin Yao looked at the guard who was injured due to his carelessness and said softly.

"Everyone has worked hard. I will let my father reward you when you go back."

"Thank you sir, I am very ashamed."

Seeing many guards kneeling down to express gratitude, Lin Yao quickly stepped forward to help the two injured guards.

"Everyone, please get up quickly. It's my fault that you are injured. You deserve this, no need to say more."

Then he took off the fox fur on his body and handed it to one of the ninjas behind him who had not returned yet.

"Get some blood."

The ninja soldier who absolutely obeyed the order took the fox fur to several injured men in black and gently dipped it in it, ignoring their expressions of anger and daring to speak.

After finishing everything, the ninja soldier took over the fox fur stained with some blood, Lin Yao said slowly after putting it on.

"From now on, I am seriously injured. If those salt merchants don't give my father an explanation for what happened today, they will have a plan to die!"
