Chapter 128 Attack

"call out--"

Another arrow came flying.

Lightning ripped through the night sky.

"There it is!"

Lin Ziping used the light to determine the direction, pulled back the slingshot, estimated the distance and angle, and released the stone like a bullet.

"what--"

A mournful wail echoed from the darkness.

"bingo!"

Lin Ziping's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

"Whoosh—whoosh whoosh—"

Before they could celebrate for long, arrows rained down like a dense storm.

Lin Ziping quickly pressed himself against the window ledge, not daring to peek out.

The rain of arrows was too dense, so Lin Ziping could only squeeze in whenever he could, occasionally looking up to draw his bow and shoot a few stones.

Even so, it was only a drop in the ocean, and soon his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"bang bang bang-"

The sound of banging on the door came from behind.

Lin Ziping looked back and saw that Xiao Chunzi was desperately bracing herself against the table, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it was basically useless. Before long, the door began to shake and was about to collapse.

"They're coming in!" Lin Ziping shouted.

"call out--"

An arrow grazed his face, and when Lin Ziping reached out to touch it, he felt a sticky sensation on his hand.

"My beautiful face!" Lin Ziping couldn't help but groan inwardly.

The handprint from this morning hasn't faded yet, and now I've been scratched again. This is going to disfigure me!

"Hush-hush-"

Before he could think any further, another volley of arrows rained down.

Lin Ziping stopped being distracted and focused on the view outside the window, his slingshot firing continuously, sending small stones flying one after another.

"Bam—"

The door finally gave way and was forced open.

At the same time, Lin Ziping ran out of pebbles. He picked up the arrows that had been shot in through the window, scattered them haphazardly, and then slammed the window shut with a "bang".

The arrows struck the window, making a "tap-tap" sound like raindrops; the window wouldn't last much longer.

But Lin Ziping couldn't pay attention to all that. He turned his gaze to the doorway, where he saw Jiang Wanyu leading a group of people to break down the door.

"Uncle Jiang, what does this mean?" Gao Chi and the others stepped to the sides. With the window facing the door, Lin Ziping composed himself and asked with a puzzled look.

"Lin Ziping, I treated you with sincerity, but you were full of cunning and killed my wife and children. Now you will all pay with your lives!" Jiang Wanyu said fiercely.

He waved his hand, and the man in black behind him quickly stepped forward and entered the house.

Lin Ziping was startled; this was truly a huge pot.

However, given the current situation, the two sides are already at odds, and this is not the time for explanations.

Jiang Wanyu was ruthless and didn't talk much. Unlike other villains, he didn't just start fighting. Lin Ziping picked up a carrying pole from the ground and began to fight back.

Gao Chi, Li Qiongying, and Xiao Chunzi also entered battle mode.

“Brother…” Hong Lao Er’s voice came.

"Take care of yourself," Lin Ziping shouted loudly in Hong Lao Er's direction.

"Bang-"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a sudden storm broke out.

The space inside the room was too limited, and the difference between wooden sticks and swords was still too great.

Lin Ziping risked being stabbed to break through the encirclement and into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Gao Chi and the others became even more courageous and followed them out.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Ziping felt a chill in his heart. Archers surrounded them, watching them intently.

Jiang Wanyu looked at him coldly: "Lin Ziping, how dare you fool me!"

Fooling me?!

No, it wasn't; it was just a deception.

Lin Ziping originally planned to feign allegiance to Jiang Wanyu and others, dangling a promise of supporting the prince's ascension to the throne, and take the opportunity to get close to Gao Chi and complete the task assigned by the county government.

He also harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that even a broken ship has some nails. Gao Chi was, after all, a prince, and should have some trump cards. It would be best to use him to get rid of these bandits, which would be a good deed.

Unexpectedly, there was an iron mine on the mountain. Fearing that Jiang Wanyu and others were colluding with government officials, they did not send signals down the mountain.

They had hoped to gather information using their double agent identities, but what had Jiang Wanyu done to go crazy and launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night?

These days, plans can't keep up with changes. It's true that you can't learn political maneuvering just by reading a few novels. I'm better off being a humble servant. These kinds of things, where a small difference can lead to a huge error, don't seem to suit me.

Although he had many thoughts, they only lasted a moment before Lin Ziping came to his senses. This body was a woman disguised as a man, and she had been poisoned by some unknown kind of poison. Given the current situation, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Lin Ziping gripped the dagger in his hand and charged towards Jiang Wanyu.

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but fortunately, Lin Ziping managed to rush to Jiang Wanyu's side with sheer courage. Unfortunately, he actually knew kung fu.

"Lin Ziping, we trusted you so much, and you actually betrayed me!" Jiang Wanyu rebuked angrily.

Lin Ziping earnestly implemented the principle that villains die from talking too much, and without saying a word, he drew his dagger and stabbed at Jiang Wanyu.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu quickly took out a knife to deal with the situation.

The two exchanged blows and began to fight.

During his university military training, Lin Ziping learned dagger techniques. After arriving in this era, in order to add an extra layer of protection, he practiced martial arts while also practicing, but he never put it into practice.

As a result, he now possesses theoretical knowledge but lacks combat experience, and his dagger is completely outmatched by the longsword, so he was defeated in no time.

He had been slashed several times and was in a very sorry state.

The rain poured down, and the trees lay flat on the ground, letting the rain wash over them.

Jiang Wanyu stepped forward slowly, carrying his knife, and looked at Lin Ziping, saying, "Having a prince accompany you on your journey is a good thing. May you be reborn into a better family in your next life."

After saying that, he raised his knife and was about to slash at Lin Ziping.

In a flash, Lin Ziping pulled out the "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" and twisted it hard.

"Shhhh-"

The needles inside shot out rapidly toward Jiang Wanyu's face.

"Ah—" Jiang Wanyu let out a painful howl.

Lin Ziping endured the pain and got up, gripping the dagger and slashing at his neck.

After a while, the knife in Jiang Wanyu's hand fell to the ground, and his body collapsed with a thud.

Lin Ziping picked up the knife and went forward to check. He saw that blood was flowing continuously from Jiang Wanyu's eyes and blood was also gushing from his neck. He was making a "hoarse" sound in his throat. After a while, he opened his eyes and stopped breathing.

Seeing this, Lin Ziping relaxed and sat down on the ground.

Lightning flashed across the night sky once more, illuminating the world.
