Volume 6: Jing'an Wuping Case Chapter 158: Persuading Xu Shizhong
"These killers." Duan Ming stood up slowly, looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed: "Why do you come to kill people and don't bring money?"
"These killers are really stingy." Zhu Cui also nodded, skillfully pulling a trailer from the side and dragging several corpses towards the alley.
"That..." Captain Sun looked blankly at the corpse on the ground, and then at the mechanisms on both sides: "Mr. Duan, what are you..."
"Haha, since I already know that the Immortality Sect regards me as a thorn in their side and may attack me at any time, how could I not be prepared?" Duan Ming said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Sun, it's the same as before.
, please lend me two horses so that I can rush to the capital."
"No!" As soon as Duan Ming finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice.
Xu Shizhong appeared at the entrance of the alley at some unknown time.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Xu Shizhong raised his brows slightly, and then walked straight into the alley: "Mr. Duan, I came here under the order of my commander. The purpose is to prevent you from going to Kyoto."
"It seems that what happened to King Jing'an is indeed true." Duan Ming nodded.
"My conductor said that with Mr. Duan's character, if he learns about King Jing'an, he will rush to the capital as soon as possible." Xu Shizhong said: "But this matter is not trivial. Even my conductor cannot protect himself. So I specially
Let me come here to prevent Mr. Duan from getting involved."
"Old Xu, how did you get here?" Duan Ming did not answer Xu Shizhong's words, but asked with a smile: "Are all the injuries on your body healed?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Duan. It's okay." Xu Shizhong nodded: "Mr. Duan, my commander asks you to listen to him this time."
"Why?" Duan Ming asked, "Just call him Xing Qianqiu?"
As he spoke, Duan Ming patted Xu Shizhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Xu, this time the matter is not trivial. If I don't go, I'm afraid your conductor will be in trouble. Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"Of course." Xu Shizhong nodded.
"Then what if I have to go? Can you still kill me?" Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"Of course not. Mr. Duan has been very kind to our Mirror Division, and Xu naturally dare not offend him." Xu Shizhong said as he drew out a long knife and put it on his neck: "However, if Mr. Duan insists on leaving, then that is
Xu is incompetent, so Xu can only die to apologize."
"Haha." Seeing Xu Shizhong like this, Duan Ming's forehead showed dark lines, and he said with a smile: "This is what Xing taught you, right?"
Xu Shizhong did not speak, but stared at Duan Ming seriously.
"Old Xu." Duan Ming changed his voice and patted Xu Shizhong on the shoulder: "If you can do this, it's no wonder that Lao Xing would rather die than protect you."
"Huh?" Xu Shizhong looked at Duan Ming doubtfully, not understanding what Duan Ming meant.
"What? Lao Xu, haven't you figured it out yet?" Duan Ming said in surprise: "This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone in the Mirror Department to protect themselves. You should know better than me how dangerous it is to stay in the capital at this moment.
"
"And as a colleague of the Department of Mirror, I should not let you leave at this time, either emotionally or rationally."
"As for not letting me go to the capital, I can just send a few people from the Mingjing Department. Why bother sending you?"
"Mr. Duan means..." Xu Shizhong said solemnly.
"Yes, Lao Xing is protecting you." Duan Ming said: "Think about it, you were transferred out of the capital and came to Linyang City, so no matter what happens in the capital, you, Xu Shizhong, and Xu Tongzhi have nothing to do with each other.
relationship, isn’t it?”
"If what I have guessed is correct, Xing Qianqiu must have asked you to restrict me from leaving until the time of King Jing'an."
"Then in order to restrict me, you must stay in Linyang City until the matter regarding King Jing'an is settled."
"Tsk tsk, do you think Lao Xing has a crush on you? Otherwise, why would he be so preoccupied with you?"
Hearing this, Xu Shizhong's face turned slightly pale. When he received Xu Shizhong's instructions before, he didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it carefully, it is exactly what Duan Ming said.
"Old Xu, have you ever thought that Lao Xing worked so hard for you, but you want to see Lao Xing die in vain?" Duan Ming asked.
"Commander Xing, he won't die..." Xu Shizhong gritted his teeth and said.
"Will he not die? Once King Jing'an is beheaded, will Li Waner be able to survive alone?" Duan Ming sighed: "If something happens to Li Waner, do you really think he can turn a blind eye to Xing Qianqiu?"
"Besides, why would Lao Xing try his best to get you away? Isn't it because Lao Xing already has a plan in mind."
"If His Majesty wants to kill King Jing'an, I'm afraid Lao Xing will go to the execution ground to rob him!"
"This..." Xu Shizhong looked at Duan Ming, feeling overwhelmed and shocked.
"Last time, Xing Qianqiu was unjustly imprisoned, and you were not in the capital. What happened? Are you going to stay out of the matter this time too?" Duan Ming looked at Xu Shizhong.
"No!" Xu Shizhong shook his head hastily.
"No? If you watch me here and don't let me go to the capital, then how will you return to the capital?" Duan Ming asked in a deep voice: "How will you protect Xing Qianqiu? How will you share the difficulties with Xing Qianqiu?"
"In order to protect you, Xing Qianqiu can try his best to transfer you out of the capital."
"What about you? Are you willing to go to the capital with me in order to protect Xing Qianqiu?"
"I..." Xu Shizhong's face suddenly showed a troubled look.
"Old Xu, have you ever thought about it. King Jing'an must have been wronged. If I go to the capital, I might be able to clear his grievances." Duan Ming said solemnly: "At that time, perhaps the worst outcome can be avoided.
!”
"But..." Xu Shizhong clenched the knife in his hand.
"Old Xu!" Duan Ming said again: "Have you ever thought that now that King Jing'an and Xing Qianqiu are here, the Changsheng Cult would dare to send people to kill me. If King Jing'an is gone and Xing Qianqiu is gone, who will
How can we restrict the people of the Immortality Sect?"
"At that time, do you think I can really survive? Do you think I can really be safe?"
"If I go to the capital, if I can clear the grievances of King Jing'an, my safety will be guaranteed to the greatest extent. If I don't go to the capital, which will eventually lead to King Jing'an and Xing Qianqiu being demoted or killed, then I will be the real one.
Must die!"
"Old Xu, do you understand or not?"
"I..." Xu Shizhong slowly put down the knife in his hand and stared at Duan Ming closely: "Mr. Duan, I believe in you! I am willing to escort you to the capital together!"
"Hehe, a kid can be taught." Duan Ming said with a smile, "Then let's set off immediately!"
