The snow-white sword light lit up from the direction of the city gate, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards here.
Qingzhu and others also realized the extraordinary nature of this thing, and subconsciously raised their swords to stop it, but the force of the sword light was extremely strong. It only broke through the defense line built by everyone in an instant, and then rushed all the way, bombarding directly at
If it reaches Li Danqing, it will fall on the Chaoge Sword at Ying Li's neck.
clang.
Hearing a crisp sound, Li Danqing's expression changed, and his body swayed under the force of the flying sword, almost falling to the ground. Naturally, the Chaoge Sword in his hand could not land on Ying Li's neck...
…
Li Danqing, who stabilized his body, looked towards the direction of the flying sword and saw the snow-white long sword suddenly flying back to the city gate, and at this time, a large number of people also poured in from outside the city gate.
They were a group of soldiers riding tall horses, with a broadsword with purple tassels hanging from their waists. They were full of concise aura. Li Danqing recognized the origin of this group of people with just one glance. They were the subordinates of Qin Chenggu, the governor of Yingshui County.
The elite——Purple Sword Guards!
The owner of that flying sword was surprisingly one of the leaders of this group of purple sword guards and an old acquaintance of Li Danqing - Yang Tong.
The flying sword returned to Yang Tong's hand. Yang Tong sheathed the sword, but did not say a word. He just turned to look at the person beside him. It was Qin Chenggu, the governor of Yingshui County.
"Ma Xu! As the guard general of Anbei Town, what crime should you be guilty of leaving your post without permission?" Qin Chenggu was also a wonderful man. When he came to Dafengyuan, he ignored the important matters.
The grudge between Li Danqing and Ying Li turned to look at Ma Xu standing aside and shouted loudly.
Although Ma Xu wanted to move closer to the Ying family, he was still Qin Chenggu's subordinate after all. Qin Chenggu's accountability made him feel nervous, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "There are changes in Yangshan, and I also want to do something for him."
The county guard will do his best..."
"Hmph. I'm afraid that General Ma's efforts will be spent elsewhere." Qin Chenggu has been in charge of Yingshui County for so many years. He is a stupid person. He revealed Ma Xu's thoughts with one sentence.
Ma Xu's face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to say more.
"Stand back if you don't take your people with you!" Qin Chenggu shouted again.
As soon as he said this, Ma Xu trembled and quickly called his soldiers to step aside.
At this time, the situation in the center of the venue naturally fell into the eyes of everyone. They saw the usually aloof Young Master Ying kneeling on the ground, with his hair disheveled and blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, looking very embarrassed.
Li Danqing squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Chenggu, and glanced at Yang Tong intentionally, and then said: "Qin County Sheriff is here, Li Danqing is not far away to welcome him, please forgive me!"
Qin Chenggu was also an old fox. He said with a smile on his face: "No problem, no problem."
"The collapse of Yangshan Mountain was a major event in the Wuyang Dynasty. Dafeng City is very close to Yangshan Mountain and was affected. City Lord Li was busy quelling the chaos and must have been exhausted mentally and physically. Naturally, Qin will not blame him."
Qin Chenggu deliberately changed the title and called Li Danqing after the city lord.
The meaning behind his words is very clear - without Yangshan, Dafengyuan is only a thing in name only. Li Danqing now only has the position of the city lord of Dafeng City, and since he is the city lord of Dafeng City, he naturally has to
It falls under the jurisdiction of his governor.
After saying this, he seemed to have just seen Ying Li beside him, with a look of surprise on his face: "Hey! These are not our Young Masters Ying? Why do they look like this? Someone, hurry up and help Young Master Ying up."
"
As soon as these words came out, two soldiers stood up and dismounted and walked straight towards where Ying Li was. Ying Li finally came to his senses. Ying Li, who had been frightened for a long time, now
Seeing the hope of survival, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly spoke, got up and walked towards that place, but his feet were also injured by Li Danqing, and as soon as he stood up, he felt huge pain, making him plop again.
Kneel on the ground.
Qingzhu and the others frowned when they saw this, but stopped the two soldiers who came forward.
The smile on Qin Chenggu's face faded at that time. He looked at Li Danqing and lowered his head.
He asked in a voice: "What does City Lord Li mean by this?"
"He killed someone! He deserves his life!" Liu Yanzhen said first. Liu Yanzhen didn't have the slightest favorable impression of the Commander Qin in front of him.
"Kill someone?" Qin Chenggu said to himself. He glanced around and naturally saw the body of the old man lying next to Ying Li. He said, "Young Master Ying is from a famous family, and the head of the Ying family is even more so.
Your Majesty’s minister! If you say Mr. Ying killed someone, you must have evidence, right?"
"Of course there is! Ask these people, they have all seen it with their own eyes!" Liu Yanzhen said loudly, pointing to the people behind him.
But when they turned around, the people lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Liu Yanzhen.
Liu Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition suddenly filled his heart.
"Really?" Qin Chenggu saw this situation in his eyes, glanced at the people one by one, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you see Mr. Ying kill this old man? Tell the truth, this county governor
You are definitely not biased! But since Mr. Ying is an important minister, if you dare to slander him, this county governor will never tolerate it!"
Qin Chenggu said that for this reason, no matter how stupid the people of Dafeng City are, they can still hear the sense of protection behind the scenes.
Everyone fell silent immediately, not daring to say a word.
Liu Yanzhen was anxious. He pointed at these people and said, "Hey! What's wrong with you? You saw what happened just now so clearly. Why don't you speak now? Are you all mute?"
Liu Yanzhen's questioning made these people secretly feel ashamed, but no one really dared to speak out at this time.
"They didn't see it! We saw it!" Liu Yanzhen obviously hated Ying Li for killing the old man to the extreme, and was unwilling to let him go. She hurriedly said at that time.
Qin Chenggu smiled when he heard this: "You and Mr. Ying have misunderstandings. I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone with this one-sided statement."
When these words came out, Liu Yanzhen suddenly turned ugly and didn't know what to do.
"It seems that there is some misunderstanding, City Lord Li, do you think so?" Qin Chenggu ignored the furious Liu Yanzhen and instead looked at Li Danqing and asked meaningfully.
Everyone in Dafengyuan also turned to look at Li Danqing, with somewhat nervous expressions on their faces.
Li Danqing clenched the Chaoge Sword in his hand at that time, and the evil spirit surged in his eyes. Ying Li on the side felt a little nervous when he saw this, but the next moment, Li Danqing's hand clenched the sword, but then released it in an instant.
.
"Get out of the way." Li Danqing said.
When these words came out, the faces of everyone in Dafeng Yuan changed slightly, and they were somewhat unwilling. But they also understood that Qin Chenggu and Yang Tong were here at the same time, and with the strength of the current few people in Dafeng Yuan, they would really challenge them. They were determined not to be opponents, so
But he also understood Li Danqing's concession at this moment, so he could only retreat one by one with a calm expression, allowing the two soldiers to walk up to Ying Li, lift Ying Li up, and take him away from here.
It was only then that Ying Li was sure that he was finally out of danger. He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked back at Li Danqing with a sinister look.
Liu Yan reluctantly came to Li Danqing's side and said in a low voice: "These people are really hateful! We have been working hard from yesterday to now, without stopping for a moment, just to help them, but now, all of us are pretending to be deaf.
Silence! If I had known, I wouldn't have saved them!"
Liu Yanzhen's tone was not kind, and he was deeply resentful of the silence of the people of Dafeng City.
But there was no trace of anger on Li Danqing's face. He turned to look at Liu Yanzhen, reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Most people in this world are just ordinary people."
"Running for a living, working hard for their parents, wives and children, and then working hard all their lives. For them, survival is the most important thing. Their lives are very simple, so simple that they can be written in a book with just a few crosses.
Understand. Likewise, this kind of life is also very fragile, and a little external interference may change their lives. The consequences of offending a county guard are beyond their ability to bear."
Liu Yanzhen was still a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "But today they are pretending to be deaf and dumb. If one day
When this happened to them, didn’t they think that others would pretend to be deaf and dumb?”
Li Danqing smiled: "Living is not an easy task. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, life, old age, illness and death are all enough to make people work hard."
"It is not easy for ordinary people to live an upright life. How can you ask them to be heroes?"
"What's more, they are willing to release their kindness to the best of their ability, which is very good in my opinion. They don't dare to be heroes who provide help in times of need, but they also won't be villains who add fuel to the fire. This is enough.
.”
When Liu Yanzhen heard this, the expression on his face calmed down a little, but he still felt unwilling: "How do you know they won't buy us when the time comes?"
"I'll prove it to you." Li Danqing blinked at Liu Yanzhen.
Liu Yanzhen was stunned, and before he understood what he meant, he saw Li Danqing stamping on the ground with his toes, and a piece of gravel flew into his hand. Li Danqing's hand suddenly exerted force, and the stone turned into a stream of light.
Xiang Li, who had already walked in front of Qin Chenggu's team.
With Li Danqing's current level of cultivation, the power contained in the stones he throws when he doesn't hold back is huge.
Qin Chenggu and others did not expect that Li Danqing would dare to take action, nor did they expect this.
The stream of light transformed from the stone hit Ying Li's left arm, and a burst of blood exploded. The seemingly ordinary stone, with the support of Li Danqing's huge strength, was like a sharp arrow, directly hitting Ying Li.
His arm was pierced, and Ying Li let out a muffled groan. His entire left arm was paralyzed directly on his body. The elbow of his arm was a bloody mess, and blood continued to flow out, infecting his entire arm in an instant.
The huge pain caused Ying Li, whose situation was not optimistic to begin with, to see darkness and pass out.
Qin Chenggu, who was just proud of his coercive and tempting methods, came to his senses. He looked at Li Danqing with murderous intent in his eyes: "City Lord Li! What are you doing? After brazenly attacking an important minister, this
But it’s a serious crime worthy of beheading!”
To be fair, Qin Chenggu didn't like Ying Li. Even before Yangshan collapsed, he regarded the Ying family as his number one enemy.
But the Ying family was responsible for the destruction of Yangshan. As the governor of Yingshui County, Qin Chenggu would not be able to escape the blame if the court wanted to investigate. Compared to the Qin family who was far away in Yingshui County, the Ying family was obviously more at home in Yingshui County.
Chao Zhong was able to eat more freely. In the final analysis, saving Ying Li was just to show goodwill to the Ying family and leave a way out for himself.
The more serious injuries Ying Li suffered at the hands of Li Danqing, the stronger his hatred for Li Danqing. In this way, when the court investigates, the Ying family will be more likely to shift the blame to Li Danqing. His Qin family
It is also safer.
This was a good thing, but Li Danqing ignored his existence and injured the person he wanted to protect in front of him. How could Qin Chenggu bear such a provocation?
He suddenly showed murderous intent, and the purple sword guards beside him also drew their swords out of their sheaths.
But facing the murderous people, Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression: "When did I ever hurt Mr. Ying? I stand here without moving..."
"If Commander Qin doesn't believe me, you can ask the people in the Gale City behind me if any of them saw me taking action? You can't rely on the Governor's words in everything, right?"
Li Danqing grinned when he said this, and looked at the people behind him. The people in Gale City were stunned for a moment, and then they understood, and they all waved their hands with a smile: "I didn't see it!"
"Yes! Dean Li has been standing here the whole time without moving at all!"
"Yes! The county guard must have made a mistake! Mr. Ying fell down himself!"
As the common people kept talking, Qin Chenggu's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
The smile on Li Danqing's face became brighter and brighter. He looked at Qin Chenggu and returned to him exactly what he had just said.
"If this spreads out, wouldn't it be difficult to convince the public?"
