Chapter 523: The Tribulation of Sancha (Part )
The sudden appearance of Mongolian soldiers not only surprised the people of Jinjianwu, but also shocked Wu Shuang and other tea drinkers.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a dozen Jinjianwu disciples guarding outside the tea shed drew their swords and stared at the Mongolian cavalry around them with vicious eyes, each of them with a cold brow, ready to attack.
"How could this be?"
Faced with the sudden change, Leng Yiyi was caught off guard and inevitably a little flustered.
She first glanced at Wu Shuang, who looked indifferent, and then leaned close to Jin Fuyu's ear and whispered, "Master, we have too few people..."
"Don't panic. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth." Jin Fu Yu was calm and composed. He let the Mongolian cavalry stare at him covetously, but he remained calm and unmoved.
Just based on his calm demeanor even when faced with a huge crisis, Jin Fu Yu is far superior to ordinary people.
"My dear officers, our shop has always been well-behaved and respectful. But today..."
The shopkeeper rushed out of the tea stall in panic, and saw the shining blades reflecting cold light in the sun. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he bowed repeatedly to the Mongolian cavalry.
"There's a wanted criminal hiding here. If you don't report it, you'll be dead!"
"bass!"
"puff!"
Without any room for negotiation, the Mongolian leader suddenly drew his sword from its sheath and swung it down without hesitation. With a dull thud, before the shopkeeper could even scream, his dark head was chopped off by a knife and rolled to the side.
The headless corpse staggered a few times on the spot, and the bloody neck cavity kept gushing out bright red blood.
Such a shocking scene frightened all the tea drinkers so much that their faces turned pale and they screamed continuously.
The girl watched her uncle die tragically at the hands of the Mongols. She didn't know whether she was filled with fear, grief, or horror. For a moment, she stood in the teahouse in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were frozen with tears, her throat was tight, and she couldn't shed a single tear or make a single sound for a long time.
"Who is Jin Fuyu?"
The Mongolian leader brandished his bloody scimitar, pointed at the tea shed without hesitation, and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Although it was just a question, he had already judged Jin Fuyu's identity from the situation in the tea shed. His sinister eyes were fixed on Jin Fuyu who was surrounded and protected by Leng Yiyi and others.
From beginning to end, Jin Fu Yu didn't even glance at this group of Mongolian cavalry, but cast an interested look at Wu Shuang beside him.
At this moment, Wu Shuang was still drinking tea leisurely, as if everything happening before his eyes had nothing to do with him.
"Young Master Wu..."
"Eh!" Before Jin Fuyu finished speaking, Wu Shuang had guessed what he was thinking and quickly waved his hand to shirk, "You and I just met by chance, and we don't have much friendship with each other. You are you, and I am me, and we can't be confused. Right now, this group of Mongols is looking for you, not me. I hope that Master Jinwu can solve it himself and don't implicate innocent people like us."
"An innocent person?" Leng Yiyi said contemptuously, "If I tell them that you pretended to be Sui Zuo last night, do you think they will let you go?"
Wu Shuang looked unhappy and pouted, "I saved you. I don't ask you to repay me, but you can't repay kindness with hatred, right?"
"If the owner, Wen Lian and I are safe and sound, it will be easy for us to break out of the encirclement." Leng Yiyi said, "But now we are all injured, and the Tartars are so numerous and powerful that it may be difficult for us to escape with only our disciples. Since you admit that you saved us, why don't you be a good person and help us to the end? What's more, even if you are unwilling to help us, the Tartars will not let you go easily."
"It's better to go alone than to take you guys with you." Wu Shuang said jokingly, "What's more, they have already named Jin Fuyu. Unless they are all killed, they will chase you wherever you go. In this case, if I stay with you, won't I be asking for trouble?"
"you……"
"Yiyi, no need to say more!"
Jin Fuyu interrupted Leng Yiyi without even turning his head, and then bowed to Wu Shuang and said, "Since we are on the same path but different paths, please take care of yourself, Young Master Wu. But there is one thing you can rest assured about, Young Master Wu, although I am not talented or virtuous, I will never repay kindness with enmity."
"Master Jinwu, please go first!" Wu Shuang said with a half-smile, "The shopkeeper just rushed out and got his head chopped off because of a disagreement. I dare not step out rashly. After all, you are the one they are looking for."
"Ha ha……"
Jin Fu Yu laughed and stood up, pointing at Wu Shuang a few times, with complicated meanings, but he didn't say much.
Turning suddenly, Jin Fu Yu strode out of the tea stall, followed closely by a group of Jin Jianwu disciples holding knives and swords.
At this time, there were at least three or four hundred Mongolian cavalrymen surrounding the tea shed. In comparison, the twenty or thirty people from the Golden Sword Dock seemed outnumbered and weak, like trapped beasts.
"Are you Jin Fuyu?" The Mongolian leader sat high on his horse, looking down at Jin Fuyu with contempt, and said sarcastically, "You are pale and thin, listless, nothing more than this."
"Bold..."
"Eh!"
Jin Fuyu waved his hand to interrupt his disciples' rebuttal, looked at the Mongolian leader calmly, and asked, "Who are you, General?"
"I am Tao Amu, the deputy general under General Xijing." Tao Amu said in a deep voice, "The general had long expected that there would be fish that slipped through the net, so he set up an ambush early on to guard against cunning people like you."
"A fish that slipped through the net?" Jin Fu Yu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Isn't that right? As far as I know, General Sui didn't send any troops to encircle and suppress them. All those who participated in the martial arts conference have left Huashan openly. How can there be a fish that slipped through the net?" "What?" Tao Amu couldn't help but frowned when he said this.
Seeing this, Jin Fu Yu concluded that Tao Amu knew nothing about what happened in the Xilu camp last night.
"So what?" Tao Amu said fiercely, "The military order I received is to hunt down the fish that escaped the net at all costs. As for other things, this general does not care at all."
"That makes sense." Jin Fuyu looked melancholy and said dejectedly, "Looking at the general's attitude, I'm sure I'll die today."
"Your dog life is worth a thousand cattle and sheep." Tao Amu grinned, "Since you know your fate, I advise you to surrender, so that you can keep your body intact. Otherwise, I will skin you alive and leave you without a burial place."
"Arrogant!" Leng Yiyi shouted, "Just relying on you rubbish?"
"I know you are quite skilled. We may not be your opponents in a one-on-one fight." Tao Amu said, "But I also know that several of your masters have been seriously injured and are unable to fight again. The rest of you are a bunch of good-for-nothings. You are nothing to be afraid of. As long as I lead my cavalry to charge once, I will be able to slaughter you all."
Hearing this, Jin Fuyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "You know nothing about Sui Zuo's situation, but you know everything about our situation. Could it be... someone tipped you off?"
"So what?"
Jin Fuyu looked desperate and sighed, "It's a dead end anyway. I hope the general can let me die with a clear conscience. May I ask, general, who tipped you off?"
"This……"
"As long as the general tells us the truth, we will immediately lay down our weapons and leave it to you." Jin Fu Yu promised solemnly without giving Tao Amu time to think.
"really?"
"How can we, with only 20 or 30 old and weak soldiers, compete with the general's hundreds of elite soldiers?" Jin Fuyu said helplessly, "Since I have no chance to take revenge while I am alive, at least let me seek justice in front of the King of Hell."
"Well!" Tao Amu hesitated and said, "This morning, I received a secret letter. The letter clearly stated that you fled westward. I was ordered to set up an ambush west of Huashan Mountain. Naturally, I am familiar with the terrain here. Therefore, I predicted that you would pass through Sanchakou at noon, so I led my troops to chase you here."
"Secret letter?" Jin Fuyu's eyes moved and he asked, "Who sent the secret letter?"
"Since it's a secret letter, I naturally don't know who sent it." Tao Amu said impatiently, "The person who sent the letter is so eager to kill you, the person who sent the letter... is probably your 'old friend'."
Tao Amu's words made Jin Fuyu ponder for a while.
"Alright! You've asked what you should ask, and I've answered what I should answer." Tao Amu's eyes turned fierce, and he pointed his sword at Jin Fuyu, and ordered murderously, "Now, tell all your men to lay down their weapons!"
However, facing Tao Amu's urging, Jin Fu Yu looked calm and indifferent, with his brows still slightly frowned and his eyes lowered, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts.
"Jin Fuyu!" Tao Amu gradually realized that he had been deceived. He immediately flew into a rage and threatened again, "If you don't put down your weapons, I will make sure you live and die!"
Faced with Tao Amu's repeated pressure, Jin Fu Yu still turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
"You...are you kidding me?"
Under Tao Amu's furious gaze, Jin Fu Yu actually turned around slowly and walked towards the tea stall leisurely.
From beginning to end, he looked as if he was concentrating on thinking hard, and he seemed to have no idea how dangerous his situation was.
As Jin Fu Yu turned and retreated, Leng Yiyi and a group of Jin Jianwu disciples quickly stepped forward with swords in hand, blocking the Mongolian cavalry's way and completely blocking Jin Fu Yu's figure from Tao Amu's sight.
"Obey the order!"
Tao Amu was so angry at being made fun of in front of his own soldiers that he raised his scimitar to the sky. Hundreds of cavalrymen shouted in unison: "Kill!"
In an instant, a murderous intent swept towards Leng Yiyi and others with overwhelming force.
"These people in front of me are all unforgivable Central Plains thieves. Following General Sui Zuo's order, not a single one of them will be spared..."
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before Tao Amu finished speaking, a series of sounds of breaking through the air suddenly sounded from behind the soldiers.
Before Tao Amu could react, dozens of Mongolian soldiers had been shot by arrows and fell to the ground, some dead, some wailing.
"General, there is a sneak attack from behind...ah!"
Before the shouting ended, it turned into a scream, and there was no sound anymore.
"Don't panic! Get ready to meet the enemy!"
When Tao Amu gave the hasty order and turned his horse around in a hurry, the scene before him made him pale and stunned.
Hundreds of Jinjianwu disciples, led by Song Yu, abandoned their bows and arrows, drew their swords, flew up one by one, and kicked hard from their horses. Like heavenly soldiers, they covered the sky and blocked out the sun, charging towards the panicked Mongolian soldiers.
