The midday sun was very fierce, shining brightly on Gu An's head, which had been shaved again before he came.
Even though the sun was so fierce, Gu An kept his posture, holding the red horse that snorted from time to time and carried Wang Jin's body.
His face was expressionless, and his eyes were a little blurry as he looked into the courtyard of the Xia Mansion.
Although there are few pedestrians in the wealthy area, the people who live here can make the commercial area of Ping'an County tremble even if they stamp their feet on this three-thirds of an acre of land in Ping'an County.
Those who were closer stood directly at the door or set up ladders in their courtyards to watch; those who were farther away also sent servants to investigate the situation.
But without exception, they all stood far away.
Although he didn't know what happened, when he saw Wang Jin, the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, looking like he was dead, he knew that things would not be simple.
I'm worried that if we get into a fight over a disagreement later, it will be bad for the fish pond.
As time passed, a series of footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and Gu An's somewhat confused eyes gradually dissipated and condensed into one point.
The people of the Wu Mansion... Liu Yue's iconic yellow clothes as a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion, Yan Gu's red robe as a mentor, and the word "武" painted on their chests made Gu An directly recognize their identities.
Walking from the front hall to the door, Xia Ji kept telling himself in his heart that with the help of the Wu Mansion this time, Gu An's trouble should be solved.
But in this case, I will completely break up with the Zhenxie Division.
First of all, when Xia Ji was already a disciple of the Wu Mansion, Xia Ji.
Xia Jun was deliberately let into the Zhenxie Division just so that he could have a relationship with the two behemoths of the Zhenxie Division Wufu.
But what happened later and some of Zhang Tianshuo's promises forced him to give up this idea; even so, Xia Ji was still unwilling to break up with the Zhenxie Division directly.
Sending Wang Jin to kill Gu An was also done after careful consideration.
This incident was initially led by Tao Yu, the small flag of the Suppressing Evil Division.
Secondly, if Gu An used some other means to question the people behind him before defeating or killing the three Peng bandits, his Xia family would naturally be involved.
After all, they are just bandits and desperadoes; when their lives are truly threatened, they will do anything.
So he sent Wang in to add a layer of insurance, but he didn't expect that Gu An came back alive.
Just as Xia Ji was about to speak, his expression changed, and two people walked up not far away.
After learning about Wang Jin's death in the news, Dongfang Runhong knew that the matter this time would not be that simple, and the Wufu would probably get involved.
After reporting to Yang Ling and receiving permission, he rushed over with An Yuan.
First, they hid aside to see if the people from Wu Mansion would come forward; if they came out, they, as people from the Suppression of Evil Division, would naturally come out as well. If they didn't come forward, they would just watch from the sidelines. As long as the matter did not make a big deal and did not affect Yang Ling.
Promotion will be available in a few months.
"Sir, Senior Brother An."
Gu An was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted.
Dongfang Runhong nodded, smiled at Yuan Shan, and then looked at Yan Gu: "Instructor Yan from Wufu doesn't teach in the inner courtyard, why do you have time to come here?"
"In a few days, Xia Jun will officially join our martial arts mansion. Why, can't I come over and talk to him about the rules of my martial arts mansion today?
On the contrary, why are you, the small flag officer of the Suppression of Evil Department, here?"
Yan Gu asked in confusion.
"Haha, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to come sooner or later, so I came here today."
Dongfang Runhong put his hands behind his back and scraped the newly stained mud under his feet on the stone steps, and said frivolously: "As for me, of course I heard that someone is planning to kill my disciples, so I came here to see what this person looks like.
?”
As he spoke, Dongfang Runhong had already walked to Wang Jin's body, stretched out his hand to lift the face that was beyond recognition, and shook his head in disgust: "It's so ugly. Fortunately, it's been a long time since dinner."
He wiped Wang Jin's raincoat again, then stood back to where he was just now, looking playfully at Xia Ji, who was speechless, but his calm expression concealed horror.
After Xia Ji, Dongfang Runhong and Yuan Shan clasped fists and saluted, he sorted out the path he had just taken in his mind and solidified the countermeasures he had taken.
Pretending to be surprised: "Dongfang Xiaoqi, you just said that someone wants to murder the disciples of your Suppressing Evil Department? I don't know who it is, but he is so bold!"
Dongfang Runhong's expression froze and he was about to speak.
Gu An, however, leaned to his side and said something. His expression first became a little weird, then slowly relaxed, and finally there was a hint of surprise.
"Go ahead, I support you."
Gu An nodded in response, turned to face Xia Ji and the others, held his hands over them one by one, and finally focused on Xia Ji.
"Master Xia."
"Brother Gu, I heard a few days ago that you took over the mission of the Peng family's three gangsters. I couldn't help but sigh that this is what young heroes should do."
Xia Ji showed a look of reminiscence: "Now it seems that he has returned victorious; he is worthy of being the one who defeated my Jun'er in the assessment."
Having said this, Xia Ji paused and asked, "By the way, you asked your servant to inform me just now that you have something important to ask me for. I wonder what the important matter is?"
"Master Xia Miao praised me for being able to complete the task. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, Master Xia!"
"How do you say this?"
Gu Anxing walked to the side of the horse, lifted Wang Jin's body directly, and raised it in front of Xia Ji: "The head of the Xia family must know this person."
"Wang Jin?" Xia Ji stepped forward quickly, bent down and looked at Wang Jin's body, as if to make sure, then withdrew his gaze, pinched his beard and murmured to himself: "It's really him! Why is this happening?"
Wang Jin and I took a vacation a few days ago, saying that we hadn't been home for several years and wanted to go home to see our parents and children.
Considering that he has worked diligently in the Xia Mansion for so many years, I was right.
But now this?"
Gu An looked sad: "I didn't expect that it was really him.
This time I was able to kill the three bandits of the Peng family and complete the mission, Brother Wang Jin should be credited with a great contribution!"
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Gu An slowly said: "When I was fighting with the three Peng gangsters, after killing Peng Lao Er and Peng Lao San, I was exhausted and saw that I was defeated by Peng Tianxiong.
At this time, a man wearing a black raincoat and a bamboo hat with a long knife in his hand attacked Peng Tianxiong, buying me precious time to regain my strength.
However, during the battle, he was defeated by Peng Tianxiong and his weapon was taken away."
With that said, Gu An threw Wang Jin's body on the stone steps, went back and took off Wang Jin's long knife from his horse, and looked at Xia Ji.
"Master Xia, please step back a little."
Xia Ji took two steps back in confusion and came to Yan Gu's side.
Gu An nodded with satisfaction, drew out his long knife, raised it, and pointed it at Wang Jin's body.
"At that time, after Peng Tianxiong seized the weapon, it was like this!"
"Whoa!"
"Click!"
Gu An suddenly slashed at Wang Jin's head with his sword. The speed was too fast and the force was too great. The sword directly cracked the skull and became embedded in it.
Gu An stepped on Wang Jin's head with one foot and pulled out with force.
Lift it up, chop it down!
"Whoa!"
"Crack!"
Cut Wang Jin in the chest!
Keep lifting and cutting down!
"Whoa!"
"..."
"Just like this, keep slashing at him, finally!"
"Whoa!"
"Crack!"
Gu An poured out his greatest strength and slashed down suddenly!
The head flew up, tossed in the air for several weeks, and rolled horizontally several feet away!
"collapse!"
The force was so great that the stone steps shattered, directly breaking the long knife in Gu An's hand.
Looking at the long knife with only half of its blade left in his hand, Gu An casually threw it aside. He spread his hands and looked at Xia Ji, whose face could no longer tense up and was filled with fear. His voice was distant and deep.
