Chapter 164 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind
Following Chen Dong's instructions, Li Cheng's newly opened pub implemented hunger marketing.
As soon as Shaodaozi was launched on the market, it immediately took the market by storm and was in short supply every day.
Even though Li Cheng quietly increased the shipment volume, it was basically sold out after noon.
Chen Dong left Tinghualan, walked around outside Li Cheng's tavern, and then went in to ask some questions.
Seeing that Li Cheng had indeed done what he said and that the Shaodaozi was selling very well, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The logistical support for the Northern Expedition is stable.
Carrying an empty jar, Chen Dong walked towards the palace slowly.
When passing through an alley, Chen Dong paused and said calmly, "Come out."
There was no movement.
Chen Dong snorted, "I followed you all the way from Tinghualan to Li's Tavern. Why don't you dare show up now?"
Two men holding swords slowly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Dong turned around and saw that they were the two people sitting at the table next to Tinghualan. He was not surprised at all.
A tall and thin man with a strand of white hair on his forehead and a slightly weathered face.
The man has a standard and well-proportioned body, handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, and is full of vigor and vitality.
"Want to kill me?" Chen Dong raised his eyebrows.
"From now on, you will never set foot in Yanjing again, and I can give you a chance to survive." The tall and thin older man said in a deep voice.
Chen Dong shook his head directly, "If I, who have so much power, leave Yanjing City, wouldn't that be worse than a dog?"
"Stop talking nonsense with him." The handsome young man could no longer hold back and drew his sword to stab Chen Dong.
Go straight to the chest and kill with one blow!
A cold light flashed in Chen Dong's eyes, and the wine jar was placed across his body.
"Click"
The wine jar shattered into pieces in an instant, but the sword's force remained unabated and went straight to Chen Dong's heart!
Chen Dong didn't have the ability to catch a blade with his bare hands, but he didn't dodge either. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he looked confident and raised his hand to shoot a crossbow arrow.
"whoosh"
The tip of the arrow broke through the air, emitting a cold and eerie light, flashing a dark blue color, and it was obvious at first glance that it was extremely poisonous.
This sword can certainly pierce Chen Dong's chest, but the crossbow arrow can also kill the handsome young man!
Chen Dong was confident that the other party would definitely hide!
Even if he didn't dodge, Chen Dong wouldn't be hurt, because he was wearing the golden silk soft armor given by Yan Yunzheng. Ordinary swords couldn't penetrate it.
The handsome young man's pupils shrank, and he dodged to the side in an instant. The crossbow arrow grazed his cheek, almost disfiguring him. And his sword, which was determined to win, naturally missed.
At the critical moment of life and death, it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
But when he avoided it, the initiative immediately fell into Chen Dong's hands.
"Tap Tap"
On both sides of the alley, all the Jinyiwei appeared, with swords flashing like prison and murderous intent.
Chen Dong sneered and said, "You don't think I went to the pub just to get drunk, do you?"
This is also Chen Dong's industry, so of course the Jinyiwei will be watching it. Chen Dong went to get people.
The summoned Jinyiwei stared at the two swordsmen with unfriendly faces, with the long swords in their hands ready to drink blood.
"You go, I'll cover you." The tall and thin man said decisively.
The handsome young man gritted his teeth and rushed back in the direction he came from.
"kill!"
"Get 'em!"
"Don't let them get away!"
The Jinyiwei on both sides of the alley shouted in unison and surrounded the two swordsmen.
The tall and thin man had superb swordsmanship. With a flash of cold light, he actually broke the swords of the four Jinyiwei who were rushing in the front!
That handsome young man was also extraordinary. His sword came out like a dragon and swept across. With a series of "ding-ling-dang" sounds, the swords of the Jinyiwei who stood in front of him were all broken!
"whoosh"
A flash of cold light suddenly passed by, and Yan Shiqi flew up from the side of the wall like a dragon, flying over the eaves and walls. He jumped high and slashed at the handsome young man's head with a sword.
The handsome young man's face changed and he hurriedly raised his sword to block.
"when"
Fire flashed, and the handsome young man lowered his body and almost fell to his knees.
The tall and thin man's face changed and he rushed to rescue him. Yan Shiqi's sword was so skillful that it was like an antelope hanging on a horn, leaving no trace.
When I got closer, I realized that he was actually going straight for the tall and thin man's heart!
A murderous look flashed in the tall and thin man's eyes. He slightly turned sideways, allowing Yan Shiqi's sword to pierce his chest and ribs. With this sword, he wanted to cut off Yan Shiqi's head!
Trade injury for life!
Yan Shiqi had just enjoyed a few days of happiness, so of course he didn't want to be a headless ghost. He leaned back to avoid the sword of the tall and thin man, and the sword left a bloody line on his neck!
Although the tall and thin man temporarily forced Yan Shiqi to retreat, he had no chance of winning. He grabbed the handsome young man's arm and threw him out with force.
The handsome young man pushed the wall hard with his toes and flew out of the alley as if he were walking on flat ground, just like Yan Shiqi.
Yan Shiqi wanted to stop him, but the tall and thin man fought for his life and entangled him desperately, leaving him no chance to snipe the handsome young man.
Although those ordinary Jinyiwei chased after them, they were killed by the handsome young man's quick sword.
Yan Shiqi felt that he had lost face, so he used all his strength to fight with the tall and thin man.
In addition, the Jinyiwei provided assistance.
Not long after, several bloody holes were left on the tall and thin man's body, and blood was oozing out like blood gourds.
Yan Shiqi went around behind him, raised his foot and kicked him hard, and the tall and thin man fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.
Two knives were immediately placed on the tall and thin man's neck.
"take away!"
…………
The tall and thin man was thrown into the imperial prison. He looked up at Chen Dong with an expressionless face.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell from behind Chen Dong, making him look like he was emitting a red bloody glow.
"What's your name? Where are you from?" Chen Dong interrogated personally, holding the knife sharpened by Yan Shiqi in his hand.
"Li Wufeng, from Yongzhou."
"What's your companion's name, and where is he from?"
"Li Yushan, from Yongzhou."
Chen Dong's mouth twitched. They were treating him like a fool.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"Rob the rich and give to the poor."
Chen Dong sneered and stabbed the knife directly into Li Wufeng's body, leaving a bloody hole.
He had already guessed that these two people must be preachers. Since the other party pretended to be confused, he followed suit to see who pretended to be more like the preacher.
Li Wufeng groaned, clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"He's a real man." Chen Dong exclaimed. "Do you know what Lingchi is? It's when the flesh on a person's body is cut off piece by piece, until only a skeleton is left."
"Don't worry, I have the imperial physician who treats His Majesty by my side. I will definitely be able to keep you alive and won't let you die easily."
Li Wufeng closed his eyes tightly, wishing for death.
"Commander, let me do it." Yan Shiqi volunteered.
Chen Dong glanced at him and said, "If you can catch him, I'll give you credit. If you can pry open his mouth, I'll reward you with a thousand households."
Yan Shiqi's eyes lit up, "I will not let the commander down. I will definitely ask him about his identity, origin, and the mastermind behind the scenes, no matter how big or small!"
Yan Shiqi interrogated Li Wufeng, and Chen Dong also painted a portrait of the handsome young man and searched the whole city.
If you dare to assassinate him, be prepared to be killed!
"Commander, we found the person!" Yan Sanshisan said excitedly.
Chen Dong was still wondering, is the Jinyiwei so efficient? Did that handsome young man fall into the trap?
After asking, I found out that it was not the handsome young man they found, but someone else.
A beautiful woman.
