Just as Luo Erhu was killing all over the backyard, a fierce battle broke out in the three-story building at the connection between the front hall and the backyard.

Yang Shifan probably never expected that Li Guanxiang was indeed as Liu Ju had previously guessed, and it was a mistake. It was not that he had a temporary rebellion, but that Li Guanxiang was really stupid. After leading Liu Ju into the building, he might have been uneasy because of guilt. When he went downstairs, he stepped on the air and rolled down two and a half floors along the hard stairs, and finally fainted at the entrance of the building.

Liu Ju, who was originally hiding his body under the carved windowsill on the third floor, heard the big movement and quickly looked down. His face changed drastically. He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, but he could only go downstairs to hide Li Guanxiang so as not to be exposed. But perhaps the sound of Li Guanxiang falling from the armor on his face was too loud, which alarmed the secret whistle in the front hall, and the fate of the two was destined to be an ending.

Since Liu Ju volunteered to come here to guard, he was naturally ready to kill himself. The only meaning of guarding here is to delay time. As long as you take advantage of the location of this three-story building and hold the Wuping soldiers coming to help as much as possible at the cramped staircase entrance, Yang Shifan and others in the backyard will have more chances to succeed and escape.

Soon, Zhu Kuang, the soldiers sent to reinforce, surrounded the three-story building under the leadership of the secret whistle. At this time, Liu Ju had blocked all the heavy objects in the building, such as tables, chairs, wooden cabinets, and other heavy objects in the building at the only entrance of the stairs. He noticed the dull and messy footsteps outside, and subconsciously drew out his sword. Just as he was about to look gently, a roar came from his ear: "Where is the archer!"

After the words came, Liu Ju, who could not hold back, was as fast as a meteor. Every step of the way, shaking the light wooden floor on the floor, as if it was about to collapse. Finally, he hid behind a sloping table. The dense archers downstairs lined up calmly, raising their arms and pointing their bows at the doors and windows of the building.

"Shoot the arrow!" General Wu Ping, who was leading the charge, shouted, and hundreds of soldiers holding crossbows outside the building exerted force together. The closed doors and windows of the building were almost lifted by the waves of arrows at the same time. In an instant, the black arrows roared in with a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows were concentrated into such a cramped space in the building, and their lethality was self-evident. After a round of arrows, even though Liu Ju leaned against the table tightly and tried to protect the vital head and face with wooden boards, he still couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching roar.

But seeing that seven or eight arrows had been shot on his huge body, almost all of which were nailed into it. Although the wooden boards effectively slowed down the impact of the arrows and looked just a shallow wound, the blood overflowed was unbiased in the waist and abdomen. The broken wood chips were embedded in the flesh and blood, causing the pain even more intense.

Soon the second round of arrow rain hit again. After Liu Ju suffered a loss, he would not sit still and wait for death. He endured the severe pain and roared, got up to avoid the arrow. The long sword flashed in the green light, and his movements became much more casual.

If it were some new recruits with poor physical fitness, they would have died without snorting like this fierce attack. But Liu Ju is worthy of being a veteran of many battles. He moved and looked at him freely while wielding his sword moves. Except for two arrows that scratched his arms, the rest of the sharp edges that flew towards him were knocked down.

The endurance of the flesh and blood body was finally limited. Even though Liu Ju's heart was too hard, he tried his best to avoid the intensive shooting of the powerful bow, and at this time he had almost exhausted his strength.

With the military order "putting tinder" coming from outside, Liu Ju already understood that the last moment was coming. In a trance, he stopped, closed his eyes calmly, and fell to the ground with the long sword in his hand, as if he was waiting for the next round of rumbling arrow rain to attack and the baptism of the blazing flames. But after hearing the sound of flames outside the building, his instinctive desire to survive surged into his heart again.

He quickly recalled Yang Shifan's words in his mind. Liu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, with a sneer on his face, threw the long sword in his hand out of the window, turned around to the windowsill in the north, looked at the sparkling water in front of him, took a deep breath and jumped lightly under his feet, like a big bird, and his body fell down.

That was the escape route that Yang Shifan once mentioned: "The water in the pool downstairs is actually only two meters deep, and there is no problem leaping from the third floor into the pool. And this pool goes straight to the northwest, and when you get ashore, you are at the side door of the government office..."

Since the pool is two meters deep, as long as you jump down from the third floor, you should be safe and sound as long as you fall into the water properly. The posture of falling into the water is simply easy for a man like Liu Ju who lives by the water since he was a child.

The sound of wind was whistling in his ears, and Liu Ju closed his eyes and fell down like a meteor. The moment he jumped down the stairs, he immediately adjusted his legs to his straight down position, crossed his hands and hugged them in front of his chest, looking like a flying fish with sharp mouth and jaws from afar. It is reasonable to use this diving posture to reduce the impact of the water surface.

Liu Ju even prepared the situation he faced next. Once he successfully fell into the pool, the surrounding Wuping soldiers would definitely rush over to chase him, either shooting arrows into the water or pursuing him into the water. He was not afraid of pursuing him into the water. He was still confident in fighting against water. He just had to be careful of the arrows being fired at once. This required him to calculate the direction and time after falling into the water, try to hold his breath and sneak under the water, and swim wildly at the northwest direction.

As long as you can get a first landing and arrive at the side door of the government office, you may have a glimmer of hope...

With a "boom", he seemed to feel his feet touching the water surface. Liu Ju was ecstatic and knew that he had basically succeeded halfway. However, the severe pain from his lower body almost stopped his breathing in an instant. He could even clearly hear his bones from his calf to his hips breaking inch by inch, making a series of terrifying "clicks".

Liu Ju's face changed drastically. When he opened his eyes and looked down, he saw the first and last terrifying scene in his life.

Finally, his body slammed heavily on a hard floating platform, and the impact was so strong that even the water surface around the floating platform collapsed several feet of water. At the last moment of his life's disappearance, Liu Ju was numb and weak by the pain that invaded his whole body. After mechanically feeling that all the sternum and bones were broken, his eyes turned completely black and turned into an inhuman blood-colored skin...

The light breeze on the water blew the strong smell of blood all over the place. When the Wuping soldiers rushed to the shore to check, they saw the figure soaked in the blood beach on the floating platform at a glance. With just a wave of their hands, several soldiers swam into the water. The news soon came back, confirming that the thief was dead and could not die again.

"It's just three stories high, why did you straighten your legs and jump down? This way of death is stupid and miserable..." A soldier swallowed and kept smacking his lips.

Another man replied indifferently: "It's probably for diving and escaping. It's a pity that this thief's life is not good. The Grand Governor just built this floating platform to enjoy the scenery last night..."
