Chapter 418
418 The female thief (1)
Xu Qi ‘an stood up on the grandstand, pressed his hand on the guardrail, and squinted at the man in the ring.
He was very sure that he did not know this arrogant man, and he did not remember an enemy with copper skin and iron bones.
The enemy wouldn’t appear for no reason, but I just didn’t think of it … Xu Qi ‘an touched his chin, thinking about the enemies who might be targeting him.
In terms of conduct, he had always adhered to the principle of being kind to others and winning over others with virtue.
In terms of being an official, he believed in being upright and forthright, serving the country and its people as his Creed.
Such a good person should not have any enemies.
Imperial consort Chen is a sinister woman. If she wanted to take revenge on me, she would have chosen to assassinate me. She wouldn’t have made such. big fuss … As for the officials of the court, although many parties wished for his death, the current situation was not in line with the style of. scholar …
“He’s afraid.”
of course, that’s an expert in the bronze skin and iron bone realm. With his small body, he’ll be dead with one punch.
that’s why I say, don’t look down on these popinjays who rely on their ancestors to show off in the capital. They’re nothing when they meet an expert.
Xu Qi ‘an’s ” hesitation “, in the eyes of the young men at the opposite table, became cowardice and timidity.
The young heroes were instantly delighted. At this moment, their mentality was as if they were bringing a 90 points beauty to a nightclub and a young master Zhao came along and shouted, “Young master Zhao is paying for tonight’s expenses!
The 90 points beauty was completely won over by young master Zhao’s wealth, and turned into his embrace … However, at this moment, a loud sound came from the sky. The real big Shot descended and gave young master Zhao a backhanded slap, saying, ”
You’re not worthy!
Although it wasn’t the young masters who slapped him, it was still very satisfying. Seeing a silver spear-like wax-headed government official being beaten and losing face, the young masters felt good.
Thinking of this, they all turned to look at miss Rongrong, hoping to see disappointment in her eyes, to see the plump disciple’s appearance losing its luster.
Then, she remembered that they were the ones with potential and turned to them.
Miss Rongrong’s level was obviously not as shallow as the young heroes thought. She showed a caring look, even though that silver Gong, who had nothing but good looks, had his back to her.
At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an turned around and pressed on the hilt of the knife at the back of her waist. “I’ll go and meet them.”
“AI!”
Rongrong suddenly moved closer and pulled on Xu Qi ‘an’s arm. She let go before he frowned and smiled apologetically.”Why do you have to compete with an ordinary man of the martial world?”
Xu Qi ‘an ignored him. He shook his head and went downstairs.
even if you have a powerful background, you should at least find some help first. If you go up like this, you’ll just be beaten up for nothing. Miss Rongrong muttered.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Qi ‘an walked toward the ring. He flicked his thumb lightly, and a wisp of Qi Ji seeped out.
The man with copper skin and iron bones, as well as the martial artists in the crowd, immediately sensed something and turned around to look. When he saw Xu Qi ‘an’s uniform, he understood.
The main character had arrived.
He retreated.
The commoners didn’t have such an awareness and continued to surround the area.
“Get lost!”
Xu Qi ‘an grabbed a man in plain clothes and kicked him hard, making him run away in embarrassment. The commoners then stepped back in fear and made way for him.
“Get lost, all of you get lost!”
Xu Qi ‘an took off his scabbard and started beating everyone, regardless of their gender.
“Everyone, retreat thirty meters. Do not come near … Hey, old man, don’t take advantage of your seniority. Do you want to have a taste of the slap of the younger generation?
“Which family’s little brat is this? if no one is carrying him, I’ll take him and sell him … What are you crying for? you forced me to kick you … Auntie, have you prepared lunch? have you washed the dishes? why are you here to watch the show … So what if I hit you? if you were twenty years younger, I would sell you to a brothel.”
On the observation deck of the restaurant.
The young heroes pressed their hands on the guardrail and watched the scene of Xu Qi ‘an bullying the common people. They were filled with righteous indignation.
this dog actually took out his anger on the people around him.
if you have the ability, then go up the stage and fight. You only know how to bully the people, what kind of watchman are you? ”
“You’re an idiot.”
Since Xu Qi ‘an was not there, they could scold him as they pleased.
A young warrior with good facial features turned around and walked to Rongrong’s side. He said gently, “”Miss Rongrong, let’s go back and have a drink. I’ll tell you about my master’s experience of traveling to the North and killing the barbarians with his sword.”
“That’s right, what’s the point of drinking with this idiot of a second generation? miss Rongrong, look, he only knows how to bully the people.” The rest of the young warriors agreed.
Miss Rongrong sat upright and swept her gaze over these young swordsmen. She smiled and said,”You think he’s bullying the people?”
“Isn’t it?” The young warriors asked.
Miss Rongrong blinked and asked curiously, “”There’s a saying in the pugilistic world-when experts fight, idlers retreat! “What they said is that a high-ranked martial artist’s Qi fluctuation can easily shock an ordinary person to death. Don’t tell me you guys don’t even know about this? no way, no way?”
…….. The young heroes ‘faces turned red.
then just tell me the situation. He just wants to take the opportunity to bully the civilians and vent his emotions. The young warrior who had invited Rongrong retorted unwillingly.
Miss Rongrong lowered her head and drank, using this to conceal the disdain in her eyes.
The people in the city were so ignorant. If he explained the pros and cons to them nicely, would they listen? did they know what it meant to ” experts fight, idlers retreat “?
Not only were the common people ignorant, but there were also many ruffians and rogues. They were only afraid of officials. To deal with them, it was better to serve them with a stick than to be pleasant.
These young heroes from good families and sects said that they were leeches lying on the merit book of their ancestors, but in fact, they were not as good as Xu yinluo.
………….
Xu Qi ‘an went around the ring and finally drove away the ignorant civilians. Then, he jumped onto the ring and looked at the man who was a head taller than him with his saber. He asked, ”
“Whose people are you?”
“I’m your mother’s.” The eight feet tall man sneered.
You’re talking to me about fragrance? ‘Alright, I’ll keep him alive. I’ll teach him how to be a man after I’m taken to the watchman’s dungeon. I’m not afraid that he won’t tell me the truth …’ Xu Qi ‘an hung the saber back on his waist and pressed on the hilt.
“I only need one blade to deal with a rank-6 ant like you.”
How arrogant!
The surrounding martial artists were shocked. A rank-6 martial artist was considered a figure in the martial arts world. In some counties, that was the position of the chief of the martial arts world, an Overlord of a region.
Even if there were many masters in the capital city, including the legendary first-grade warlocks, a sixth-grade martial artist was still not a cabbage that anyone could easily knead.
“Hahahaha.”
The eight-foot tall man with bulging muscles grinned hideously. “I’m not only going to crush your head, I’m also going to cut off your tongue and make it into a dish.”
In the observation Hall, miss Rongrong looked back at the gong who was drinking and eating by herself and frowned.”My Lord, didn’t you call for help?”
His superior was about to be defeated and injured, but he was enjoying it so much. It was hard to believe that he was a Yamen officer who didn’t understand the ways of the world at all.
“Hi!”
Tong Gong waved his hand and said,’he’s only in the copper skin and iron bone realm. You don’t even know how powerful our Lord Xu is.”
“Lord Xu also has copper skin and iron bones?”
Rongrong thought for a moment and denied her own guess. She had observed Xu Qi ‘an and found that he did not have the divine light unique to the copper skin iron bone realm.
Tong Gong looked at the young warriors and laughed, “”Of course Lord Xu isn’t in the bronze skin iron bone realm, but he was once assassinated on the street. The assassins were two in the spirit forging realm and one in the bronze skin iron bone realm … Can you guess what happened after that?”
Rongrong shook her head.
Of course, nothing happened after that. After all, Xu Qi ‘an was still alive and well. She knew that this was not what Tong Gong wanted to say.
“One blade!”
The copper Gong raised a finger.
“What?”
The charming and seductive miss Rongrong didn’t understand.
“See for yourself,” Tong Gong pointed outside and said lightly.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of the surface of the ring cracking could be heard. Miss Rongrong suddenly turned around and saw the eight-foot tall man trampling on the White marble under his feet, turning into a black afterimage.
On the other side, Xu Qi ‘an lowered his knees and flicked his thumb.
Clang … The sound of a blade being unsheathed echoed throughout the entire area, clear and loud.
With Rongrong’s vision, she only saw a dark golden line flash past, followed by the exploding knife Qi, which shot everywhere like invisible steel needles.
On the ground, the surface of the arena was pierced with a shallow hole.
If Xu Qi ‘an hadn’t driven the people away just now, at least a lot of them would have died.
In the eyes of the onlookers and most of the martial artists, they only saw that Xu Qi ‘an seemed to have drawn his saber. When they took a closer look, they found that the saber was firmly sheathed in the scabbard.
However, the big man who had been so aggressive just now stopped. He stopped ten feet away from Xu Qi ‘an. He lowered his head and looked at his chest in disbelief.
The next moment, a long and thin knife wound opened on his chest, and blood gushed out.
The burly man slowly knelt on the ground, his face turning pale.
“If I say one, then one,” Xu Qi ‘an said coldly.
“Whoosh!”
At first glance, the noise that erupted from the crowd was like a “Hua” sound.
Cheers rang out, and the commoners who were eating melons cheered loudly. Their voices were like a cauldron, and a small number shouted to go to the medical Hall to get a doctor.
The martial artists who had cultivation as their companions were looking at the technique. After the initial uproar, they were all speechless.
One blade!
To be able to cut through the body of the copper skin and iron bone realm with one strike, this Yin Gong’s cultivation was probably at level five, or even level four.
“The night watchman. Yin Gong Xu Qi. an …”
They silently remembered this name.
“What do you think? you didn’t lie, right?” Tong Gong smiled and got up. He looked at the dazed miss Rongrong and said, ”
“I’m a genius promoted by our Duke of Wei. What’s a mere rank 6 martial artist to me? Even the officials of the Imperial court have to be polite when they see Lord Xu.”
After he finished speaking, he sneered and glanced at the dumbfounded young warriors. He grabbed his saber and went downstairs.
………
After Xu Qi ‘an finished killing the man, two gongs immediately went up to the stage and asked, “”How should we deal with this person?”
“Take him to the doctor to treat his wound and then bring him back to the Yamen. Remember to seal his acupuncture points with fine ox needles. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.” Xu Qi ‘an ordered.
He looked in the direction of the restaurant and found that miss Rongrong had disappeared.
“Where’s miss Rongrong?”
“He was here just now.”
The gong that went downstairs turned around and saw that it had indeed disappeared.
This doesn’t make sense. I’ve put on such a big show. Shouldn’t she be throwing herself at me … Xu Qi ‘an thought with regret.
Forget it, I didn’t expect anything to happen anyway.
Xu Qi ‘an took the seriously injured man to a nearby clinic and let the doctor bandage his wounds. Then, he brought the unconscious man back to the watchman’s office.
Halfway through, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He carefully checked his body, waist token, saber, pouch … They were all still there.
He touched his chest and finally knew what was wrong.
The fragment of The Earth Book was gone.
“What are you looking for, my Lord?” Copper Gong, who was carrying the unconscious man on his horse, reined in his horse and asked.
“Don’t be noisy!”
Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and recalled his experience.
His clothes were not torn, so it was impossible that he had lost a fragment of the Book of the Netherworld while walking. Moreover, with his hearing, he would have immediately noticed it if it had really dropped.
During the fight, he had only used his saber once and did not engage in an intense fight. Eliminated!
In that case, there was only one possibility left-it had been stolen.
“That Auntie is so silly, she doesn’t have the ability … The only person who came into contact with me was miss Rongrong. She pulled me before I went downstairs …”
Xu Qi ‘an snorted. no wonder he left so unreasonably just now. It turns out that he’s a thief. Is this what the soul-crushing palm means? ”
It had been an hour since he left the heroes platform. Logically speaking, he should have escaped far away. The capital was so big that there was little hope of finding the lost item.
of all the things you could have stolen, why did you have to steal the fragment of The Earth Book? this thing has a GPS location. Xu Qi ‘an ordered, ”
“You guys go back first, I still have things to do.”
He wanted to go back to the scene to take a look, and then look for Daoist priest Golden Lotus.
