Pawn Crossing the River

At this time, Qi Xuansu was in a righteous village. Behind him was a thick wall. The door to and from the "inn" was opened on this wall. The Qingluan guard stood at the door of the righteous village, with a gap between them. A few feet away, on both sides were dozens of unclaimed corpses, all covered with seeping white cloth.

The Qingluan guard was a little surprised that Qi Xuansu could dodge his own arrow. After a slight hesitation, he threw away the crossbow in his hand, and then slowly pulled out the saber from his waist.

The sword is three feet long, has a handle six inches long, has a thick back and a thin blade, a straight spine, a slightly curved blade, and weighs nine pounds and nine taels. It is the famous "Slim Tiger Sword".

The "Fine Tiger Sword" is the standard equipment of the Qingluan Guard. However, not everyone in the Qingluan Guard can hang the "Fine Tiger Sword". Ordinary captains and warriors do not have this kind of treatment. At the very least, they need a small flag. Just fine.

Qi Xuansu did not take action immediately, but asked: "May I ask this sir, we have no grievances and we are meeting for the first time, why do you want to kill me?"

The Qingluan guard did not answer Qi Xuansu's question, but said behind him: "Come in and see if this person is the lawless person you said."

After the words fell, another figure entered Yizhuang tremblingly.

It was no one else, but the "inn" clerk who had been dozing off before and then left in a hurry.

He raised his head and glanced at Qi Xuansu, then quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Replying to your lord, he was the one who took over the deal."

"Oh?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Qingluan Guard's mouth, "You dare to protect people from our Qingluan Guards, you are really brave. I wonder if you are a swordsman from the East China Sea or a real person from West Kunlun?"

Qi Xuansu's expression didn't change at all, and his tone didn't fluctuate at all, and he said, "I'm just a nobody, just making a living."

The sneer on Qingluan Wei's face became even thicker. He stretched out his left thumb, wiped it on the left and right sides of his upper lip, and said "good".

The waiter at the "inn" hurriedly backed away. This time he was not pretending to be afraid, but was really afraid of being hurt.

The next moment, a cold light appeared in Qi Xuansu's sight - it was the tip of the thin tiger knife, and then the cold light became bigger and bigger. However, Qi Xuansu did not show the slightest panic, and did not even draw his sword, but just turned sideways and hid.

The distance of several feet came almost instantly, and then the two people passed each other. The knife suddenly penetrated into the wall, entering two feet deep, causing spider web-like cracks to appear on the wall, which shows what kind of horror it contains. Strength.

If he was stabbed from the front by this knife, he would probably be nailed to the wall.

Qingluan Guard drew his sword, leaving a deep mark on the wall. When he looked at Qi Xuansu who had escaped the sword not far away, there was a hint of dark fear in his eyes.

He stared at Qi Xuansu and said slowly: "I underestimate you. You dare to take on this head-turning business. You do have some skills."

Qi Xuansu said: "Your Majesty's sword skills are very good."

Qingluan Guard held the "Slim Tiger Sword" and said solemnly: "Do you know who the person you want to protect is? He is the key criminal named by Lord Qianhu! Do you dare to go against the imperial court?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Whether you dare or not, it's not up to me. I'm just following orders."

The Qingluan Guard, who had always looked calm, finally changed his face and asked sternly: "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

Qi Xuansu stopped talking.

Qingluan Wei subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife in his hand.

He originally just put bait for fishing, deliberately letting the man go, relying on the "inn" line, and caught a few more small shrimps as credit, but unexpectedly he caught a big fish. If you are not careful and get dragged into the muddy water by this big fish, it will not be worth it.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly moved.

He was like a ghost, and he was faster than Qingluan Guard's sword. It seemed that in just one step, he crossed the several feet distance between the two and came to Qingluan Guard, leaving Qingluan Guard with no time to react. .

Qi Xuansu punched Qingluan Guard Xiaoqi directly on the lower abdomen. The force was so strong and heavy that there was a faint whistling sound. It actually shattered the iron beast head on his belt, forcing the Qingluan Guard master to have to Bend down.

Qi Xuansu hit him hard on the back with his elbow and hit him in the face with a knee.

After three strikes like this, the Qingluan guard had no power to fight back.

Qi Xuansu kicked him away with his last kick, causing his back to hit the wall hard.

The Yizhuang, which had gone through an unknown number of years, trembled violently, and dust fell between the beams, pillars and walls.

Qingluan Guard slowly slid down from the wall, vomiting blood, which was also mixed with many internal organ fragments. He could not say anything or make any move. He leaned against the wall, drooping his head, and his breath became weaker and weaker. , it seemed that he could no longer live.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward, took the "thin tiger knife" from the Qingluan guard's hand, and struck the knife with one finger, making a clear sound.

Qi Xuansu praised: "The knife is good."

Then he glanced at the already dead Qingluan Guard: "It's just that his skills are a bit lacking."

Qi Xuansu sheathed the "thin tiger sword" in his hand, hung it on his waist, and shook out the cloak on his body to cover the sword at his waist.

After doing this, he turned around and looked.

At this time, the "inn" clerk who had tipped off the news had been so frightened by the scene that his legs were paralyzed, and he sat on the ground, shaking.

That Lord Qingluan Guard died like this?

He died at the hands of this inconspicuous young man, with no power to fight back.

How can this be?

When Qi Xuansu's eyes turned, although the man could no longer stand up, he still supported the ground with his hands and kicked his legs desperately to move back.

Qi Xuansu's expression was once again covered by the bamboo hat that was deliberately lowered. The man could only see his chin. Although he could not see Qi Xuansu's expression, he felt great fear out of instinct.

This guy has been hanging out in "inns" where people are mixed for many years, and he has seen a lot of the world. Even desperadoes wanted by the court have seen a lot. Because of this, he feels even more desperate.

This seemingly ordinary young man has a "qi" about him.

The shopkeeper who has been in charge of the local "inn" business all year round once told him this after drinking. The more blood debts a person has on his hands, the murderous aura will naturally form in his body. It is said that ghosts are afraid of butchers. It is precisely because butchers have been working for many years and have murderous aura in their bodies, so ordinary ghosts cannot get close to them. If it is a murderer like a big thief, even a powerful ghost will not dare to get close easily. , this is why evil spirits are afraid of evil people.

The waiter didn't take it seriously at first. After all, he had stayed in the "inn" for a long time and was used to seeing those vicious people restraining themselves in the "inn", so he became accustomed to it.

No one dares to cause trouble in the "inn". Even if there is a bold lunatic, he is still no bigger than Lord Qingluan Wei.

Over the years, the man has tipped off Qingluan Guard once or twice. Are there not many people who have been tortured by Qingluan Guard to the point of death? Among those who died in front of him were the extremely tough and fierce figures of No. 56, some who simply waited to be killed, and some who fought hard and died under the knife of Master Qingluan Wei.

But in turn, it was the first time he had seen Master Qingluan Guard killed, and probably the last time - such a person had already killed a Qingluan Guard with a special status, would he mind killing another one? Insignificant guy?

Qi Xuansu walked towards the waiter, who was paralyzed on the ground, so frightened that he couldn't speak. There was a large amount of wetness between his legs at some point, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Qi Xuansu came to him and did not kill him. He just looked at him until he stopped trembling with fear and then said, "Don't be afraid, I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

The waiter breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, but before he could speak, Qi Xuansu's next words almost scared him to death.

"Do you think you're innocent?"

The boy finally burst into tears and said with tears and snot in his eyes: "Master, you have a lot of money, please spare this little guy this time. You just, you just treat the little guy like a fart and treat the little guy like a fart." Once he is released, the villain will never dare to do it again... He will never dare to do it again... There is still a whole family counting on the villain..."

"Howl." Qi Xuansu suddenly raised his voice, and the man's begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Since this guy can have both sides of the problem between the "inn" and Qingluan Guard, he is certainly not a stupid person. He was frightened just now, but now he came back to his senses and had an idea. Ignoring the snot and tears on his face, he hurriedly asked : "Do you have any orders?"

"Have eyesight." Qi Xuansu praised, "The Qingluan Guard who died just now was a Xiaoqi from the seventh rank and had a serious official rank. Qingluan Guard will not give up easily and will definitely send someone to investigate this matter. As a If the person who tipped off the information is involved in this matter, not to mention whether he can save his life, he will definitely be tortured. "

Hearing this, the boy's face turned pale, and there was another tremor between his legs - he was incontinent for the second time.

Qi Xuansu turned a blind eye to this and continued: "But if I teach you something, you may be able to avoid Qingluan Guard's punishment."

Hearing this, the waiter didn't know where he got the strength from. He turned over and knelt down, kowtowing: "I beg you to save my humble life. Please save your life. I'm kowtowing to you. I'm kowtowing to you." Already..."

There was a banging sound on the end, and soon there were blood stains on the ground.

Qi Xuansu did not stop him, but just said: "If anyone from the Qingluan Guard comes to ask you, just tell them, Master Donghua said hello to the commander, remember?"

"I remember it, I remember it. I thank you for your kindness." The man kowtowed again. After a while, he stopped kowtowing and raised his head carefully.

His face was covered in blood, and there was a huge pool of blood on the ground. When he looked again, he saw no trace of Qi Xuansu anywhere in front of him.

Everything just seemed to be in a dream. He stood up tremblingly and looked around. Except for the Qingluan Guard Xiaoqi who was still staring at death, there were only corpses covered with white cloth around him. A gust of wind blew from nowhere, Made him shiver.
