(During the Spring Festival, before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be one update every day. Normal updates will resume from the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and additional updates will be made. We hope for your understanding.)
Li Danqing sighed.
To be fair, he really didn't want to get involved in this dog-eat-dog trouble.
Even in the mouth of the innkeeper, Yang Kui was not as bad as he imagined, but Li Danqing did not think that occasional kindness was enough to make up for the long-term atrocities. This Yang Kui was always a murderer who helped others do evil. The difference
But compared to thugs like Huang Chou, his crimes are only minor.
Li Danqing had no intention of caring about the reasons for the conflict between the two parties.
Whether it was a sign of remorse or an uneven distribution of the spoils, it didn't matter to Li Dan.
It's just that Huang Qiuqian shouldn't have done anything to an old man who seemed to have no power to fight back in front of Xia Xianyin.
Xia Xianyin's temperament was exactly the same as that of her dead father, and she couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't bear to see such a scene, so she impulsively came to the rescue at this moment.
For Li Danqing, who didn't want to cause trouble, this was indeed not a pleasant experience.
But Xia Xianyin, who has always insisted on certain principles and never wavered in the slightest, may be troublesome at times, but this is also the reason why she attracts Li Danqing.
Li Danqing stepped forward helplessly, blinked at Huang Chou, who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: "General Huang, what a coincidence, you are also wandering here?"
Huang Chou frowned. If it were before today, he would definitely not take this down-to-earth prince in his eyes. But what he saw today made him realize how terrifying the prince in front of him was. But the people who captured Yang Kui and him
Tribe means Qin Juxian...
Although the reason is unclear, Qin Juxian is not a person he can offend.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiu frowned and said: "It is indeed a coincidence. Prince Li has narrowly escaped death today. If he doesn't want to live happily and cherish this hard-won life, does he still want to get involved to the point where he shouldn't be involved?"
What happened?"
"The arrest of Yang Kui and his relatives is an order from the governor's office. Prince Li wouldn't want to interfere with the governor's decision, right?"
Huang Chou said this. Although his face was stern, he was somewhat nervous in his heart. He was careful enough in his words to prevent Li Danqing from finding any flaws.
Li Danqing smiled and was about to say something, but Xia Xianyin beside him had already been angered by Huang Qiu's behavior.
"So what about the Sheriff's Mansion? Can the Sheriff's Mansion not abide by Wuyang's laws? Can it take human lives?" Xia Xianyin asked sternly.
Huang Qiu was confused by her direct questioning. It took him a while to react, and he sneered casually: "Prince Li does have some skills. This disciple of Dafeng Academy has also learned a bit of Prince Li's eloquent words.
Spring, but the laws of Wuyang Dynasty are the laws of Wuyang Dynasty, and Yingshui County has its own rules of Yingshui County!"
"If you have any objections to Yingshui County's rules, you can go to the County Sheriff's Mansion and ask Qin County Governor! But now, I want to implement the rules of Yingshui County.
If you continue to obstruct official business, don't blame Huang Chou for being ruthless!" After Huang Chou said this, he felt certain in his heart, and his vigilance against Li Danqing also decreased a bit.
After all, he was just afraid of Li Danqing's biting attitude at the city gate today. But now that Li Danqing has been exonerated, there is no way he can bite him again. On the contrary, now, he is acting under the orders of the county governor.
, if Li Danqing blocks it, then he will have enough reasons to attack Li Danqing. Presumably, the other party will not be able to find any faults in him, but can actually save him from today's shame.
Thinking of this, he raised the knife in his hand again, squinted at the old man at his feet, and was about to swing out the long knife in his hand.
"No!" Yin Yue, who was standing on the other side, suddenly became excited and shouted loudly.
Xia Xianyin frowned when she heard Huang Chou's extremely arrogant remarks. She took out something from her arms and raised it high.
When Huang Chou saw that thing, the long knife in his hand that was about to fall on the old man's neck stopped, and his body froze in place.
Xia Xianyin held a silver token in her hand, with the word "Jian" written in seal script engraved on it.
That is the unique token of Master Tianjian Division Commander...
Huang Chou suddenly came to his senses, who was this familiar girl in front of him...
She is the young commander Xia Xianyin sent by the Tianjian Division!
Today, he just followed Qin Chenggu and stood in the corner of the main room of the governor's mansion. He didn't really see Xia Xianyin sitting on the high platform. But at this moment, when the token was taken out, he suddenly woke up.
"Huang Chou, right? If I remember correctly, you should be the commander-in-chief of the Purple Sword Guard, right?" Xia Xianyin looked at Huang Chou, who was pale, and said slowly: "The laws of Wuyang and the laws of Yingshui County
Rules cannot be confused, that is to say, in your mind, the rules of Yingshui County are greater than the laws of Wuyang!"
"Whether this is what you think in your own mind, or is it what Commander Qin taught you, I will report it to the court, and they will find out everything by then."
When Huang Chou heard this, his body softened and he almost fell to the ground.
This is definitely not cowardice, but Tianjiansi's status in Wuyang Dynasty is transcendent, equal to or even superior to the three mansions. Their memorials go directly to the Holy Emperor. If his words really reach His Majesty's ears,
Even if Ji Qi doesn't kill him, Qin Chenggu will never tolerate him.
Thinking of this, Huang Chou suddenly lost any of his arrogance.
"Subordinate...subordinate, I am only following orders..." he stammered.
"Acting on orders?" Xia Xianyin emphasized the emphasis on these four words and looked at the other party coldly: "Then please tell me, Commander Huang, who in Yingshui County can give an order to attack an unarmed person?"
The old man’s command to raise the butcher’s knife?”
Huang Chou's body trembled. Xia Xianyin's question obviously hit Huang Chou's pain point.
Qin Juxian indeed issued a serious order to kill Yang Kui and his party without mercy, but he could not reveal Qin Juxian's name. Offending the Qin family would be a dead end for him, but if he did not reveal his name, Xia Xianyin in front of him would be cruel.
If you don't want to, you can charge him with a felony of massacre of civilians...
For a moment he was in a dilemma...
And it was at this moment of distraction that the old man under his feet found an opportunity and crawled out from under him using his hands and feet.
Seeing this, Yang Kui and others quickly picked him up, supported his body and stepped aside.
Li Danqing glanced at Yang Kui and others, but saw that their faces did not show much joy for surviving the disaster. Instead, they still looked nervous. Facing Li Danqing's gaze, they all lowered their heads and avoided it.
Li Danqing's eyes.
Li Danqing's heart froze, and he felt something strange.
He looked at Huang Chou who was hesitant to speak, and then at Yang Kui and others who looked nervous.
Walking up to Xia Xianyin who was about to continue to put pressure on Huang Chou, he looked at Huang Chou and said with a smile: "Is there any misunderstanding here? General Huang must be joking with Commander Yang Kui, right? Both of them are colleagues, why?
Is it possible to fight and kill?”
When Huang Chou heard this, he immediately felt happy. Although he also secretly wondered why Li Danqing had changed his temper, how could he not follow the steps when they were handed out.
He hurriedly said at that time: "Yes, yes! That's it! We are joking!"
"Playing?" Xia Xianyin frowned. Just now, she had only to take out the sword in the middle of the night. The old man must have been killed by Huang Chou's sword. There is no possibility of such a joke in this world.
She was confused and didn't understand why Li Danqing would help Huang Chou speak at this time.
"Since it's just a joke, it's alright. General Huang, please come back." Li Danqing ignored the confused look Xia Xianyin sent him at this moment, and instead smiled at Huang Qiu.
Huang Chou, who had reached this point, also knew that there was nothing he could do. Although he would inevitably be punished by Qin Juxian when he returned, it was the lesser of two evils. He hurriedly nodded again, and looked at Yang Kui and others with some reluctance, and then took
His subordinates turned and left.
"What do you mean? Why did you let them go!" After taking Huang Chou away, Xia Xianyin looked at Li Danqing and asked with some dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, a person as full of evil as Huang Chou should be thrown into a prison, and the culprit behind him should be uprooted...
Li Danqing looked at the girl in front of him with some distress. He didn't speak, but just pointed behind him.
Xia Xianyin was stunned for a moment, and looked at where Li Danqing was pointing, only to see that the group of Yangkui's clansmen who had just been there had disappeared.
"Huh? Where are they?" Xia Xianyin asked strangely.
Li Danqing glanced at her and said meaningfully.
"Of course Huang Chou is not a good person. He deducts food from disasters, oppresses good people, helps evildoers, and benefits the public and private interests. He does everything he should and should not do evil things."
"But people who are beaten by evil people are not necessarily good people."
"The most common thing in the world is not the battle between good and evil, but the battle between evil tigers!"
