The thunder and lightning dispersed and the whole place was silent.
Even now, Xia Shang still feels numbness in the soles of his feet, as if there is electricity running through his body.
That incomprehensible move didn't hit the mark, but the aftermath was enough to shock people.
It is unimaginable that human Qi can transform into electricity. Although it is simulated by Qi and its power cannot be compared with real thunder and lightning, it is unique to be able to do this, at least among the masters Xia Shang has seen.
No one has such a unique skill.
Grandmaster!
This Nie Shisan is undoubtedly another master!
Apparently the seven or eight masked men on the opposite side also realized this and took a few steps back with fear on their faces.
"Sir, let's go." Nie Shisan turned around and said lightly.
Those masked men seemed not to be in his eyes, and they showed such domineering and arrogance in their indifference. How much advanced strength does it take to achieve this?
Nie Shisan did not grab Xia Shang and fly into the air like Zhang Kui, but followed Xia Shang silently, closely following Xia Shang's footsteps.
Are you just going to walk out like that?
Xia Shang had doubts in his heart, but he quickly took steps.
At this time, Xia Shang realized that it was not a bad thing to have such a person around him.
Although he was monitoring himself, in such a situation, having such a powerful bodyguard gave people confidence.
In the dark night, a person trapped in a heavy siege is destined to die, but now he wants to leave boldly?
More and more people are paying attention here. The number of these masked people far exceeds Xia Shang's expectations. However, it doesn't matter how many people there are at this time. Everyone can only watch from a distance.
One person was finally unwilling and rushed over with a loud shout, but as soon as he took a step, the knife on Nie Shisan's waist drew a bolt of lightning. It was just a single draw of the knife, and the silver lightning flashed by, but the man
Cut off in an instant.
"hiss……"
Everyone gasped, this person moved so fast that the naked eye couldn't even catch it!
In this way, no one dares to act rashly.
Another near miss, Nie Shisan accompanied Xia Shang and walked all the way back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In the courtyard, Li Xiaoxin had already purchased some daily household items according to Xia Shang's requirements, and was waiting for the matter with the lights on in the house.
Seeing Xia Shang and Nie Shisan come back together, Li Xiaoxin showed no expression. She stepped forward to take off Xia Shang's cloak and said calmly: "Everything is ready, but some things need to be delivered early tomorrow morning."
Nie Shisan and Li Xiaoxin behaved similarly. They didn't care that Xia Shang left privately, and they didn't intend to ask Xia Shang what he had done.
After listening to Li Xiaoxin's words, Nie Shisan added: "The total amount of gifts received today is about 76,000 taels of silver."
"So many?" Xia Shang was shocked.
Nie Shisan was a little cold and arrogant: "Who in the entire court would dare to neglect something sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Xia Shang nodded but did not answer. He was still thinking about what happened before, wondering what happened to Zhang Kui, and what the origin of those masked men was? Why did it happen suddenly?
Watching Xia Shang deep in thought, he didn't know when Li Xiaoxin left. He just heard Nie Shisan suddenly say: "The emperor does not want to know everything about you."
"Huh?" Xia Shang exclaimed, feeling that Nie Shisan still had something to say.
"There are some things that you don't need to hide from your subordinates and your wife. Both your subordinates and your wife are smart people and will not tell the emperor everything. The emperor is not an idle person and does not have so much time to understand what your Excellency has done.
The emperor has more things to worry about than you and I think. The reason why you let your subordinates accompany you is not to lock you up with a lock.
The emperor is only worried about those four words, so he is only worried that you will do something outrageous. As long as what you do does not threaten the emperor or the country, no matter what you do, whether it is good or evil
, the emperor doesn’t even care.
As for the subordinate himself, it is fate that he can be responsible for the safety of your lord. After all, this subordinate was once a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and assisted three chief lords, and you are the fourth, lord."
"Ah?" This was really beyond Xia Shang's expectation.
Nie Shisan had a hint of expression, but it was an indescribable feeling, like melancholy, like recollection, and like regret.
"Lu Xun is my disciple."
Xia Shang didn't make a sound, but his eyes showed his surprise.
"So it's my chance to protect the person Lu Xun likes, and it's also my chance to forgive my sins. It's my duty to protect the leader. For so many years, I have been looking for the person who killed Lu Xun, and only now did I realize that I might be able to complete it."
My unfinished tasks may be more important."
Inexplicably, Xia Shang felt a little panicked when he heard Nie Shisan say "looking for the person who killed Lu Xun".
No matter who it is, at this time, they will not stop thinking, "What if he knows and really wants to do it?"
"Sir, what are you thinking about?"
"No...nothing...just a little surprised."
Nie Shisan shook his head: "For personal reasons, I have some connections with you, so I won't put you in danger. For public reasons, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has become more and more disgraceful over the years, until you showed up and things improved.
And I am a typical old school, hoping to see the Metropolitan Procuratorate get better. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has never had such a young leader as your Excellency. Perhaps this can give the Metropolitan Procuratorate a new look, so the subordinates will do their best.
I'm doing something for you. However, my subordinate's task is only to protect you. If you want to kill someone, you have to rely on yourself. You should have heard the legend in the capital."
Xia Shang was stunned and didn't react: "What?"
"The master is not allowed to enter the capital. If you enter the capital, you will die."
Xia Shang suddenly realized that there were too many mysterious forces in the capital, and no one knew how muddy the water was.
"That's all I want to say. I hope you don't have to be jealous of me in the future. What happened today is a bit dangerous. If you hesitate for a moment, your life will be in danger. Also, the man from Suzhou who calls himself Baili Si
Your Majesty the Iron Mask, who is at the head of the throne, already knows, or in other words, the Emperor also knows to some extent all the people and things related to you."
Nie Shisan said nothing more and left the room.
What Nie Shisan said is quite surprising, but it is not certain whether Xia Shang is true or not. After all, her current situation is very delicate and it is impossible to believe someone easily.
Nie Shisan said so much, Xia Shang is certain of one thing.
If Nie Shisan had come a moment later, he might have been in real danger, especially when he rushed out of the broken house.
At that moment, all his escape routes were blocked. If the masked woman hadn't kicked him out, even if Nie Shisan came, he wouldn't have been able to rescue him immediately.
Recalling the masked woman, Xia Shang felt more and more strange the more he thought about it.
When she fought with Li Zhuang before, she was quite agile and her moves were strange and fierce.
According to her skill, it should be very easy to catch herself, but she would definitely not be able to survive three moves.
But he managed to avoid her attack and was able to run outside the house...
