Outside the manor, the night was dark, and those who were knocked unconscious were still unconscious. Tiebi escorted Cao Huang out of the manor, ignoring the others.
"Brother, your colleague will probably have a very pleasant night." Cao Huang, with his hands tied behind his back, seemed more and more calm, and said to Tiebi with a smile on his face: "Actually, you can stay,
After playing with it, it’s not too late to take me to the Zhenwu Division, tsk tsk, that little girl’s skin is like silk, it’s such a pity, I’m taking advantage of your colleague.”
Tiebi's round face had his eyes slightly narrowed, but there was no response.
"Brother, let's discuss this matter. You think you might as well let me go now. I, Cao Huang, am not an ignorant person. I will definitely remember your kindness and I will ensure that you receive a transfer order from the county and city within a month." Cao Huang.
Instead of continuing to sow discord, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "As for those who are ignorant, of course they won't get orders."
Tiebi still didn't respond at all. As a veteran in Zhenwu Division, he had naturally experienced a lot. Some of the people who were caught begged, some yelled and threatened, and some burst into tears. All in all, they all had different reactions.
However, Cao Huang is rare tonight. Not only does he not show any fear or worry, but he talks eloquently and calmly, very much like a son of aristocratic family.
Even though he didn't get a response, Cao Huang didn't seem to care. He didn't look like a ghost in the underground prison at all. On the contrary, his handsome face and a pair of peach blossom eyes made him even more charming.
If you don't know him well, you will probably be attracted by his appearance.
"My uncle's name is Cao Liang. He is really the military envoy of the county and town. Brother, you can find out when you go back." Cao Huang said to himself, with a tone that seemed to resonate with him: "I also go in and out from time to time.
In the military divisions of prefectures and towns, calling one another brother is nothing, so I know that it is not easy for the brothers in the military divisions. For the sake of their future and their achievements, they have to put their lives in their hands and fight hard, and they may lose their lives at any time."
Tiebi's eyes moved slightly, it was indeed true, what do you want when you join the Zhenwu Division?
Merit is one of them, as is status.
Otherwise, the justice of the family and the country?
Maybe, but it's definitely not number one, at least for most people.
"Water flows to lower places, but people have to go to higher places. Brother, do you think so or not?" Cao Huang said with a smile, and continued to speak without waiting for Tiebi's answer: "The county and town military commanders want to transfer to the county."
Being a military commander in a town is not that easy, I believe you, brother, know everything about it."
clear!
How could it not be clear!
Even for the same inspection position, the monthly salary for county and town military inspectors is one hundred taels, while the monthly salary for county and town military inspectors is two hundred and two hundred taels, a difference of double. Naturally, there are differences in other aspects.
Tiebi has been working in the County and Town Military Division for many years. Naturally, he also wants to join the County and Town Military Division. It would be better if he can join the Prefecture and Town Military Division. Unfortunately, it is difficult, too difficult. There is no one above him. His own abilities are good but not good.
How to stand out.
"Brother, as long as you are willing, I, Cao Huang, will do what I say." Cao Huang seemed to be talking to himself, but he was always paying attention to the changes in Tiebi's face and eyes. At such a close distance, even in the deep night, Cao Huang
Akira could also see clearly: "After all, a chief envoy of a county can still speak to the chief minister of a county. When I get to the chief of a county, I will recognize you as my brother."
"Actually, even if you take me back now and send me to prison, so what, it's just a formality. My Cao family will lose money and eliminate disasters, and I, Cao Huang, will soon be able to continue to live freely. By that time
, it is inevitable that there will be some actions. Rather than having one more enemy like me, it is better to have one more friend, or kill me here now."
One was talking endlessly, not like a prisoner being escorted, and the other was silent. Unknowingly, they changed from one behind the other to walking side by side, stepping out of the manor and blending into the night.
…
In the underground prison of the manor.
"You can obviously kill him, why don't you kill him?" The girl reluctantly took the torn clothes and torn body, asked Lin Xiao with a pale face, and complained in tears: "He is a man-eating evil ghost who specializes in kidnapping people.
He was imprisoned here, bullied and tortured day and night, just to satisfy his selfish desires, I...I..."
"The responsibility lies." Lin Xiao responded expressionlessly without looking at the girl. It was not that he was indifferent, but that he didn't know how to deal with it and was very confused.
Very messy!
When he was a gang member, there was no intrigue. Apart from helping to fight life and death, the rest of the time was very easy. So when he joined the Zhenwu Division, Lin Xiao actually didn't think that much. He just thought that the task was completed, completed.
After that, I get meritorious service, and when the time comes every month, I get money. I usually practice and improve my swordsmanship, and improve little by little, and climb up, and one day I can be ranked among the top three in the world, which is also very good.
It is also a very good thing to become famous and establish a name that can be passed down to a dynasty and last for hundreds of years.
I never expected that when I was actually performing my mission, I would encounter such a terrible thing.
I wanted to draw the sword, but the sword seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds, and it seemed to be entangled with threads and ropes, making it difficult to take it out of the sheath.
For the first time, Lin Xiao felt that his sword was so sluggish, dull, and uncomfortable.
Lin Xiao kept telling himself that this was his first time on a mission. In the future, he would inevitably encounter such terrible things again. He had to get used to it, as Tiebi said, learn to get used to it.
But the more he advised himself like this, the more intensely the fire in his heart burned.
It's just hearsay. After all, it's like watching a fire from afar, no pain or itch. But this time, I saw it with my own eyes and experienced it myself. How do I get used to it?
Exhaling heavily, Lin Xiao rubbed his face vigorously, forcing himself not to continue thinking, because if he continued to think about it, not only would he not be able to understand it, but he would also get into trouble and drive himself crazy.
I still have too little experience and not enough experience. If it were Brother Ax, he should be able to handle it better.
Taking a step forward, ignoring the tearful girl, Lin Xiao walked directly to other cells, drew his sword, unsheathed it with cold light, and cut off the iron rope on the cell door.
They opened the cells one by one, and then opened the cell doors one by one. Lin Xiao walked in. There was a strange odor permeating the cell, but Lin Xiao seemed not to notice it.
After checking one by one, it was found that among the seven people, two were stiff and cold, and had obviously been dead for some time. The remaining five looked dull, like walking zombies. When Lin Xiao entered, none of them reacted.
"Girl, are you ready to cry?" Lin Xiao walked up to the girl and asked softly, which made the girl unable to cry anymore and stared at Lin Xiao.
"If you're done crying, please help bring the five of them up, and we'll make arrangements after the rest of the Zhenwu Division arrives." Lin Xiao said seriously as he met the girl's gaze.
After all, this young girl's character is unusual, otherwise she wouldn't have thrown herself into a trap just to assassinate Cao Huang and avenge her sister.
"You wait here first, I'll go upstairs to get some clothes." Lin Xiao said, then quickly walked up the stairs and left the underground prison, appearing in the manor. There was an unconscious person lying here, and Lin Xiao's eyes shone brightly.
With a flash of murderous intention, he directly drew his sword and stabbed.
"It is not a pity to die if you help the tyrants to commit crimes." After saying this, the four guards were all killed in a coma. After killing these four guards who helped the tyrants to commit crimes, the anger in Lin Xiao's heart seemed to lighten a bit, but it was still the same.
Dignified, because what Lin Xiao wanted to kill the most was the culprit Cao Huang.
After killing these four guards, Lin Xiao gained another 120 points, but he didn't care. Instead, he took off all their robes, and also took off the robes of the one who had been killed by him before.
Come down and be taken back to the underground prison.
"There is still one thing missing." Lin Xiao seemed to be saying to himself, and then took off the white robe on his body. Fortunately, he was still wearing long sleeves and trousers. When the girl saw Lin Xiao taking off her robe, she was greeted by
Lin Xiao screamed in fright and backed away. Lin Xiao was slightly startled, then threw the white robe to the girl and said, "I'll lend it to you."
Realizing that Lin Xiao didn't have any animalistic traits, the girl picked up the white robe and quickly put it on herself.
"Take these five robes and put them on for the five of them." Lin Xiao pointed to the other five pieces of clothing that were stripped off the guards outside and said to the girl.
After taking off the iron breastplate worn on the chest, which was a bit weird after all, she carried the two corpses that had been dead for some time, while the girl took out the other five people who had put on clothes one by one, and then followed Lin Xiao to hug them one by one.
Go up the stairs and carry him into the manor outside the prison.
The manor was still dark, Lin Xiao walked outside the house with his sword in hand, and at some point, the moonlight broke through the dark clouds and spread to the earth, diluting the night, as if covering the earth, mountains and rivers with a layer of gauze, giving it a hazy beauty.
The garden is deep and no one knows it, but the bright moon comes to shine!
Sitting alone, with his swords resting on his shoulders, Lin Xiao quietly waited for Chief Lin to arrive.
After a while, the girl in Lin Xiao's white robe hesitated again and again, but finally plucked up the courage to walk out. However, she still did not get completely close to Lin Xiao. Instead, she sat down a few meters away, as if recalling the thrilling scene just now.
, the body trembled involuntarily.
"...My sister was kidnapped by this evil spirit three years ago, and my parents were also directly killed by the evil spirit..." The girl's body was trembling as she seemed to be talking to herself or to Lin Xiao:
"I was lucky enough to escape. I met Sister Yan and she taught me martial arts... This time I went home to worship my parents, but I met an evil ghost again and was taken away by him. I decided to use his plan to find him.
Kill him at an opportunity to avenge my parents and sister..."
Listening to the girl talking to herself, Lin Xiao did not interrupt, but listened quietly. He couldn't help but admire her courage and courage, but he also felt that it was very reckless. An ordinary external training versus an internal training, after all, it would take advantage of her.
Not much cheaper.
However, Lin Xiao refused to comment and was not qualified.
As the girl spoke, her voice gradually weakened and finally stopped, as if because Lin Xiao didn't respond. The sound of horse hooves suddenly broke through the night and approached quickly. Today, the door of the manor was smashed, and a figure on horseback showed bright eyes.
The moonlight stared at her, first fell on the girl, and whispered: "Little Que'er, are you okay?"
Then, those pair of moon-reflecting eyes swept across and landed directly on Lin Xiao. When he saw Lin Xiao wearing only a set of underwear, his face was as cold as ice, he suddenly jumped up from the horse, and the long knife was unsheathed from the horse's side,
The body and the sword are united and reflected in the cold light of the moon, tearing through the night, like a female leopard leaping over a mountain stream with a vigorous and sharp posture, and like a battlefield charge, the long sword cuts through the air like a spear, bathed in the moonlight, with a chivalrous spirit, punishing evil and promoting good,
The sound of shouting shattered the night.
"Death to the evil thief!"
"Sister Yan, stop it, he saved me." The girl was startled at first, and then exclaimed.
