Chapter 68 Moon Black Wind High Killing Night

(Thanks to Jinshan Kuaishou for the reward, thank you! Please recommend votes~)

The sun sets west and finally falls among the mountains.

In late autumn, as soon as the sun sets, the sky will soon become dark. On the official road outside the city, those who have been doing business for a day and are rushing home before closing, as well as those who are picking firewood, hunting, fishing, coal, and working outside, also take advantage of the light of the sky to speed up their pace and hurry up.

Wang Wu stepped out of the city one step ahead of time. On the ten miles of Penglai City and the water village, he finally chose the ambush place called Toad Slope. Toad Slope is the only hillside on this ten miles of flat ground. According to legend, there was a nest of toad spirits here, which harmed one side. Later, a magical man with magic power passed by here and cast a spell to turn all these toad spirits into stones. Below this rocky earth slope is the official road leading to the water village on the seaside. On the other side of the official road is a stream of water that is only about ten feet wide. After autumn, the dry river is shallow and the river is only deep.

Toad Slope is the only place that Wang Wu found suitable for ambushing, and it is also the most ideal ambush place. The rocky and earth slope on the left is just hidden, and although the river on the right is not deep, it can also slow down the opponent's escape during the ambush. The official road, which is only more than ten feet wide in the middle, is the wonderful ambush place. After choosing the ambush place, Wang Chong immediately returned to the north of the city and found Xiaoshitou and some people.

Xiao Shitou and his team had already secretly transported the weapons of the two major chariots here. The original plan was to take action in the city, but they were worried that they would not know how to send the weapons such as long bows, feather arrows, spears and other weapons on the car into the city. Now Wang Chong said he didn't need to enter the city, but went to Toad Slope five miles outside the city to take action. This news is great.

They did not act immediately, but waited for a while. When the sky became much darker and the pedestrians on the road finally disappeared, they began to pile up some more forage on the carriage to cover it up. Then, seven or eight people changed into ordinary clothes and rushed towards the Toad Slope.

Li Jing has been staying in the city. Firstly, many people asked him for trouble, but he really can't leave. Secondly, he didn't want to leave too early. He deliberately stood in a conspicuous place and talked about everything, in order to let others see him here, so that when he finally left, others would be unlikely to think that he was related to the assassination. While chatting, Li Jing kept paying attention to Feng Yanqing's uncle and nephew. Until it got dark, most of the civil and military officials who gathered with Yu Yan's departure from office also ate enough and drank enough, and said goodbye to each other with a red face and drunkenness. Local officials returned to their homes, and the officers from nearby military camps also returned to the camp. The guests from the counties and townships below and other prefectures and counties all chose the residences opened by the wealthy officials in Penglai City.

Feng Yanqing finally finished talking with an official in Haizhou, and called Feng Liang to walk outside. The Feng family coachman who had been waiting outside the restaurant immediately rushed over with a carriage. Feng Yanqing's uncle and nephew each got on his own carriage and left under the escort of twenty servants.

Li Jing also quickly pretended to be unable to drink, got rid of the accomplice of a Longshan Camp beside him, and Lin Wei pretended to caress him and left. As soon as he left the restaurant and turned a corner, Li Jing immediately became energetic and stood up straight without any intoxication.

"Why didn't Feng Yanqing go north to the city but to Feng Mansion in the east?" Li Jing looked at the Feng family's carriage with a hurricane face.

"Maybe we have to go to change clothes and bathing, so let's follow the original plan. Erlang has sent someone here and said that he has chosen Toad Po and all the guys have been brought over." Lin Wei whispered, his tone full of excitement.

At this point, Li Jing could only pray for everything to go smoothly. He and Lin Wei first entered an alley, and changed their clothes on their bodies on a carriage that had been parked in the alley, changing to a very ordinary set of clothes. Then he sat in the carriage and mixed in the crowd and left the north gate.

The last bright color between heaven and earth has disappeared, and it is dark everywhere. A full moon has just risen, bringing a silver glimmer to the night.

Looking around, there are stones of different sizes around the surrounding area. Under the night moonlight, it is so hazy that it looks like huge toads lying on the side of the road. There are no trees on these slopes, only some low bushes and weeds, but people lie in it, which is the best hidden.

The gravel dirt road on the official road below the slope is now white and conspicuous under the moonlight. On the right side of the road, the water of the small river is rippling, bright and shiny.

Li Jing stood on a slightly higher earth slope, looking into the distance with his eyes wide open, staring tightly in the west. However, the moon was already above the willows, but the people he was waiting for were still not moving at all.

He couldn't help but feel anxious. It was the best opportunity to kill Feng Yanqing's uncle and nephew today. There was a good opportunity for the sky and the place. Today was just the sun, and a bright moon was in the sky. When the ambush, there was no need to hit the torch, and there was no need to worry about the other party escaping by the night. There was also a good ambush location like Toads. If the two were added up, the success rate would be great. But once you missed this opportunity today, it would be difficult to find an opportunity like today to go out next time.

The night wind blew, and the air of wetness and cold came to my face, and it was foggy.

As time passed, Li Jing's heart became higher and higher, and finally he gradually became a little disappointed and impatient.

Behind him, there were more than 30 people hidden behind the slopes, all of whom were brothers who had been selected by Li Jing, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, and Xiao Shitou. For these people, Li Jing had promised that each person would reward twenty pieces of silk after returning, and thirty pieces of silk after completing the work. If he performed well, he would be rewarded more. All of these people were from the left Yidu, and most of them were from the left Yidu. Not only were Li Jing's subordinates, but they were also from Qingning Township, Wendeng County, and Li Jing's fellow townsmen.

"Fourth brother, why don't I go to the city to see it myself?" Lin Wei said quickly when he saw that Li Jing was a little restless. Li Jing thought about it, but finally shook his head. He rubbed his rhinoceros horn bow with his hand, and his mood slowly calmed down. "The city gate must have been closed, but if Feng Liang came to close the city gate, he would not be able to stop him. If he didn't come, it would be useless for you to go again. Besides, we have sent Sanba people to inquire, so let's wait for the news."

Li Jing was wearing not the set of mountain armor given to him by the village chief Wang, but the set of red lacquer and red mountain armor that he took himself to Feng Liang that day, plus a phoenix winged horn. Although the set of armor given to him by the old village chief was a family tradition, it was not well maintained after all, and in terms of material creation, it was slightly insufficient in terms of appearance and quality. Li Jing did not care how beautiful the appearance of the armor was, but he would not ignore the higher defense of Feng Liang's armor. The abdomen of the armor had been damaged by Li Jing's arrows, but the craftsmen in the army had already repaired it. The advantage of the mountain armor was that he had been wrongly woven with the armor. After repairing it, there was no trace at all, and it was even better than the original defense. Putting on this set of armor and wearing a long red silk cloak, Li Jing looked even more heroic.

The seven-foot long sword had been unsheathed and inserted on the earth slope. There was a horizontal knife hanging around the waist and a three-inch dagger tied to his legs. In addition, the exquisite crossbow that had seized himself from Feng Liang was also placed aside. Li Jing's family-born rhinoceros horn bow had already connected the bowstrings at this time, and there were three kinds of twenty arrows in front of him.

Beside him were Lin Wei, Wang Chong and others. They all stood with swords, holding Changshuo and Changsha in one hand. Even Zhang Hong also carried a two-pound horizontal knife, which was sheathed and held in his hands. Behind them were there twenty people including Xiao Shitou. At this time, they were all wearing horizontal knife, wearing scales, and holding the spear.

In addition to these people, behind the earth slope dozens of steps ahead were ten brothers who had chosen for the cavalry officer of the Shence Army. Eleven war horses were lying beside them. This team was the second team planned by Li Jing. Once the ambush began, they did not immediately join in, but would wait for Li Jing and the others to ambush and disrupt the Feng family's guards first, and then they rode their horses to attack and chase them, so that no one would miss the net.

Including Li Jing, the number of people involved in the ambush reached 37. However, at this time, except for the five officers Li Jing, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Chong and Zhang Hong, there were only eight Xiao Shitou who knew the specific inside story. The other twenty-four people actually just vaguely knew that they were going to do something big with Li General, but they didn't know what the big thing was. What they knew was that Li Zhengwei could pick them up because they looked at them, and the reward of fifty pieces of silk also made them have no idea of ​​rejecting them. What's more, the leader was Li Zhengwei. Li Zhengwei was not only their immediate boss, but also a fellow villager. Moreover, Li Zhengwei was also a disciple of the governor. No matter what, it would be impossible to follow him.

Although the frost and mist at night hit the body, it was a bit cold and bitter, but when I thought about fifty pieces of silk when I went back, everyone's heart became hot. Even during the time when Li Jing was waiting anxiously, they were more thinking about whether they should buy some white rice and wheat first after having this big money, or to eat flower wine in the building in Xicheng, and see these women who can't walk when they look at it.

The moon was rising higher and higher, but there was still no movement. Li Jing sighed and said to Lin Wei: "It seems that the Feng surnamed will not come today. Please deal with the guys and go back to the camp. Although it is a little late to return to the camp now, I can still explain it. If it is too late, it will be difficult to smooth things over."

"Wait a little longer." Lin Wei said unwillingly. What he was even more worried about was that he pulled out dozens of people at once, but nothing happened. Could it be that no one would unintentionally disclose this matter? At that time, it would be difficult to assassinate Feng Yanqing like this.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the quiet night, from far away. Under the night, three knights were coming quickly. Li Jing and others hurriedly looked back and saw that the three brothers sent before were returned.

"How is it?" Li Jing took the initiative to run forward without waiting for them to get closer.
