In the living room, the atmosphere became extremely weird. It didn't look like a delivery scene, but more like a court hearing.
"Yes, my eldest son is indeed a member of the Qianhu family in Yanqing Guard. He is probably busy with military affairs and can't even go home for the New Year. My old father misses him very much." As he said that, the head of the Ouyang family sighed.
Ouyang Qianhu, who was dressed as a servant next to him, felt something bad in his heart.
Although the other party had received money from the Ouyang family, the tone of his words seemed a bit harsh. Especially when his guards came to move goods, why did they all have knives hanging on their waists?
Ouyang Qianhu's hands slowly clenched into fists.
"Really? I heard that Ouyang Qianhu was a repeat offender of the imperial court. He wouldn't have escaped back to the Ouyang family, right? If the head of the Ouyang family didn't report him when he came back, and hid him within the family, it would be a crime of harboring.
"Looking at the head of the Ouyang family, Xiao Chen had a bright smile on his face.
Staring at the other party, the face of the Ouyang family leader changed drastically. It was not a look of fear, but a kind of anger.
"Master Xiao, who are you? Our Ouyang family treats you well, how could you frame my son like this?"
Faced with this sudden flow of words, the head of the Ouyang family could only take the initiative, and blind explanations would only be counterproductive. Therefore, there was a hint of questioning in his words.
Xiao Chen ignored the head of the Ouyang family and turned to look at Ouyang Qianhu and Zhao Qianhu who were standing side by side: "Take off your hats."
"It's so cold, why do you need to take off your hat?" Ouyang Qianhu retorted.
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly: "Because I want to see the marks of the military helmet on your forehead."
After Ouyang Qianhu reacted, he exerted force on his feet and tried to escape through the door.
With a "crash" sound, all the captains armed with knives in their hands took action and blocked the door.
"Stop struggling, do you want to kill all your people?" Xiao Chen said softly without looking at the other party.
Ouyang Qianhu looked at the people holding steel knives in front of him and gasped loudly: "As long as I can live, what does other people have to do with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the door and waved his right fist at the captain in the middle.
As a front-line Qianhu of the Yanqing Guards, Ouyang Qianhu's skills were pretty good.
When the captain saw the opponent coming, he was very angry and slashed at the incoming fist with the steel knife in his hand.
Taking advantage of the moment when the captain raised his sword, Ouyang Qianhu quickly retracted his fist, bowed his body, and ran out through the gap under the captain's arm.
With a "bang" sound, a figure appeared at the door of the living room. He raised his right foot and kicked Ouyang Qianhu's head as he hunched forward.
He felt a buzzing in his head, and Ouyang Qianhu was kicked back three steps.
He stood firm and wanted to resist again, but two steel knives were already placed on his neck.
The person guarding the gate was none other than Duan Tianming.
Looking at Ouyang Qianhu who was grinning at him, Duan Tianming didn't even think about it and kicked him directly in the crotch again.
"Ah." He let out a howl, and the burly Ouyang Qianhu howled like a pig, covered his crotch, and began to roll on the ground.
Looking at Zhao Qianhu who was standing there, Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "Zhao Qianhu, why don't you try to escape? There is no one guarding the door to the back hall."
"The winner is the king and the enemy is the loser. There are many of you today, so why should I struggle needlessly? Instead of hiding in fear and fear, it would be better to die early and be reborn early."
"I didn't realize that Zhao Qianhu is still a man, but he is much better than some people. The family worked hard for him. In the end, he said that as long as he can live, others don't matter. If this was my son, I would
I wish I could strangle him to death."
Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly.
Hearing what Mr. Ouyang said just now, the head of the Ouyang family felt a chill in his heart. But now, being stimulated by Xiao Chen like this, his heart was completely filled with despair.
"Let's do it." Zhao Qianhu raised his hands, as if waiting for the shackles specially designed for prisoners.
"Put on the shackles." Xiao Chen turned around and ordered the captain behind him.
The moment Xiao Chen turned around, Zhao Qianhu pulled up Butler Zhang who was already at a loss and pushed him towards Xiao Chen. He rushed towards the door of the back hall like an arrow from a string.
As long as he rushes into the back hall and relies on his familiarity with Ouyang's workshop in the past few days, he will definitely be able to escape the arrest of these people.
If you can escape today, let's talk about how to hide in the future.
Suddenly, everyone felt that there seemed to be a blue light flashing in the sky, and it disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Chen's figure had already bypassed the housekeeper and stood at the door of the back hall, still with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at Zhao Qianhu in front of him.
While maintaining his charging posture, Zhao Qianhu stopped where he was.
He stared at Xiao Chen who was blocking his way, with a look of disbelief on his face.
There were two "pops", and the big cotton hat on the head was divided into two halves in the middle, and fell to the ground one after another, with a trace of heat clearly visible to the naked eye.
A hair-thick blood streak appeared from his forehead and slowly extended to Zhao Qianhu's nose, mouth, jaw, and neck. The clothes on his body were also split into two and fell to the ground.
Duan Tianming, who was at the gate, couldn't help but take a breath of air.
He knew that Xiao Chen's sword was fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
As a first-class expert in Dongchang, he actually didn't see Xiao Chen draw and put away his sword.
If it hadn't been for the blue light that only Xiao Chen's Libang could emit in the air, he wouldn't have even realized that Xiao Chen had taken action.
The most he knew was that Xiao Chen moved to the door of the back hall, blocking Zhao Qianhu's escape path.
Ouyang Qianhu on the ground stopped wailing and looked at Zhao Qianhu like a fool. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He maintained his charging posture but remained motionless.
Even the head of the Ouyang family, who was filled with sadness, looked at Zhao Qianhu with wide eyes.
He couldn't figure out whether Zhao Qianhu made this escape gesture because the atmosphere was too depressing to make everyone happy.
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened, and still had a faint smile on his face.
After a few breaths, the hair-thick blood streak finally disappeared.
With a "crash", Zhao Qianhu's whole body was split in two from the middle, and each fell to the ground, like a wooden chair falling apart.
Everyone, including Captain Dongchang and Duan Tianming, felt their hair standing on end and a gloomy chill in their hearts.
Living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, killing people is as common as eating a meal, but this kind of death method of splitting a person in two is unheard of.
"I thought you were a bold man, but it turns out you are also an insidious person."
After taking a look at the two corpses on the ground, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards Ouyang Qianhu who was lying on the ground.
