Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 45 Her smile is as sharp as a knife

At the door of the prefect's mansion, a yin man who was nearly fifty years old and dressed in a cyan robe sat quietly on the Taishi chair that had already been arranged, and two silver-armored soldiers stood solemnly behind him, accompanied by two white-clothed old men who were nearly sixty years old on both sides.

In front of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion below, a group of silver-armored soldiers surrounded a clearing, and in the clearing, Xue Xinghu and his servants stood on one side with their heads down. Another soldier paced back and forth with a long whip in his hand, and the whip in his hand swung twice from time to time, making a crackling sound.

On the other side of the clearing, an old man was tied to a wooden stake with five flowers, his clothes were messy and bloody, and he couldn't help but let out a wail in his mouth.

"Say, do you still have any comrades!" At this time, the armor soldier whipped the long whip in his hand on Liu Jiejie's back, and there were some special barbs at the end of the whip body, and the armor soldier was obviously a person who was good at this, when the whip was waved, the barbs at the end scraped through Liu Jiejie's back, pulling away a large piece of flesh and blood, blood splashed everywhere, and the scene was very cruel.

Liu Jiejie let out another wail, his head hung weakly, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to cry out in pain. I could only keep whispering, "What do I have...... What a ...... of the same party"

"What Lu Guanshan...... I don't know ...... at all."

"Official, this is really ...... with me It doesn't matter......"

The armor soldier frowned slightly when he heard this, he had already beaten this old man with twenty lashes, that is, a strong man in the prime of life, under such torture, he had already confessed to the law, but the old man in front of him who seemed to be thin was extremely hard-mouthed, even if he had reached the point of delirium, he still gritted his teeth and never let go.

Xue Xinghu, who was in the scene, couldn't bear to look at such a cruel picture again, and most of the people around him frowned, quite a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox - since the incident in Lu Guanshan, Luo Xiangwu first forcibly recruited men to dig the temple, and then there was a curfew and an investigation, and today there is such an unknown name, but the official authority is several times higher than Luo Xiangwu, and the old man in the city is beaten. The people of Wupan City are accustomed to the days of living and working in peace and contentment in the past, and after such a few big dramas, everyone is already panicked, and they have lost the mind of watching the excitement before.

He hesitated to look at the man in green shirt sitting at the door of the mansion, as if he had the intention of asking, after all, in the state of this old man, if he continued to fight, he was afraid of his life.

The man in the green shirt narrowed his eyes, and did not respond to the gaze handed by the armor soldier, he stretched out his hand backwards, and the armor soldier behind him hurriedly took out the saber at his waist and respectfully handed it to his hand.

The man in the green shirt held the long knife that was dangling, and stood up, his hand naturally hanging down, and the blade fell to the ground.

He took a step and walked down the steps in front of the prefect's mansion, the blade constantly rubbing against the ground, making a screeching sound.

Seeing this, the armor soldier with the long whip in his hand stood aside respectfully and made way for the man in the green shirt who looked a little scholarly dressed. The man in the green shirt dragged a long knife and walked slowly and came to Liu Jiejie's side.

Grunt.

Liu Jiejie, who was wailing weakly in his mouth, caught a glimpse of the cold blade, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and the wailing in his mouth stopped immediately. The old man looked up at the man holding the knife with some difficulty, the face of the man in the green shirt was cold, and there was a faint surging evil aura between his eyebrows.

Liu Jiejie's eyes were filled with some indescribable colors, like fear, but not fear, more like a dilemma. He raised his eyes and looked around, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Lai, who had arrived at some point, and the old man's eyes rolled, and he lost his previous worries, and wailed louder and louder at that time. Listening to the tone of that voice, it seemed a little more miserable than Fang Cai.

The man in the green shirt did not notice the brief and subtle change in Liu Jiejie, he looked up and swept his gaze over the people whose faces were pale.

"Wupan City is a good place. ”

"First, there was Yan Ting Shuangbi, who bullied the saint and deceived God, and then there was the reckless thief who robbed and killed people. ”

"My son Jin Guanyan died outside Wupan City, and my old buddy for many years, Luo Xiangwu, the chief banner of the Cangyu Guard of the Dayan Imperial Court, also disappeared a few days ago. ”

"See him? He's the traitor who infiltrated the city!"

"Do you think he has a backbone? He doesn't admit his guilt when he is beaten like this, or do you think I am wronging him?"

"Not true. Neither. It's because he's very smart, he knows that his only value now is everything he knows, and if we want to find out the real culprit and henchmen behind it, we have to start with him. If he doesn't say it, we won't find out, and he can continue to live. You see, what a good calculus, what a wise man. ”

But they forgot that the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty was thousands of miles, and there were billions of lives, how could they be subverted by these clowns. ”

"Whether you recruit today or not, it's a dead end. ”

As he spoke, the knife in the man's hand was raised violently, and he was about to slash towards Liu Yujie's neck.

The summer sun is shining brightly, and the sun is scorching, but the snow-white blade reflects a cold light.

Wei Lai's eyes narrowed in the distance, the dagger at the cuff slipped into his hand, and the thoughts in his mind were running rapidly, at this moment, there were many Cangyu guards in front of the clearing, and there were probably hundreds of people, and his demeanor seemed to be a little stronger and more elite than the team led by Luo Xiangwu. The two old men sitting there had a long breath, Wei Lai couldn't see their reality at all, and their cultivation was not low, at least outside the four realms. And the man in the green shirt in front of him, although he is also not wearing half a wisp of armor, but he gives people an indescribable sense of oppression, and he is by no means good.

Wei Lai's rapid cultivation is still a drop in the bucket in the face of such a battle, and the only hole card he can use is the power of the old snake's dragon, but that power is not enough to fight against the group of difficult opponents in front of him.

You can't force it.

Wei Lai thought of this, the dagger in his hand was retracted into its sheath, and then he stepped forward, about to say something loudly to the man holding the butcher knife high.

"My lord, keep people under the knife!" but before he could say anything, a voice behind him rang out before him.

The entire county magistrate was silent in front of the mansion, and although the voice was delicate, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, and everyone turned their eyes to look.

Of course, these people naturally include the man in the green shirt.

He squinted at the woman behind Wei Lai, nearly forty years old, still charming, but with a rustic face when facing the superior, there should be panic and uneasiness in the face of the country people. With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that this was just an ordinary woman.

"How? do you know him?" the man asked.

This is a very tricky question, Liu Jiejie has been characterized as a traitor, knowing him is a traitor henchman, a man wants to be powerful, he will not allow a country woman to ruin his plan, and he will not mind killing one more person.

The woman's face was a little pale, I don't know if it was because the man's aura was too strong, or because she was not used to being watched by so many people. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she needed to clench hard to calm down the irrepressible fear, she didn't understand the "trap" in the man's words, and her upper and lower lips trembled in response: "Recognize... Know. ”

The man with squinting eyes had a spring breeze smile on his face, he looked at the armor soldiers around him, and said softly: "Well, you are still a kind of affectionate and righteous person, no one dares to know people, you dare to know." That being the case......"

Speaking of this, the man's tone suddenly became gloomy: "Then ...... with him"

"Ambush it. ”

The last three words were spat out, and the armor beside him moved, and at that moment they rushed out and rushed straight towards the pale-faced woman in the crowd.

Wei Lai's eyes froze, and he felt a little helpless. He couldn't have imagined that Aunt Zhang and her wife would do such a thing for Liu Jiejie, her courage is admittedly commendable, but her actions are really stupid. He didn't have much time to sigh, and the black python in his sleeve fell into his hand again, and his body immediately arched, like a cheetah, like a wolf.

Those armor soldiers rushed to the front in an instant, and the crowd instinctively retreated, how could the woman behind Wei Lai have seen such a scene, and she stood still at that time, too late to dodge, and forgot to dodge.

The cold light in Wei Lai's eyes lit up, and his heels were about to jump up and stop the menacing Cangyu guards.

But today, Wei Lai obviously can't be the protagonist who makes the people of Wupan City dumbfounded.

At the moment when he was about to make a move, there was a more fierce courage behind him. He was shocked and subconsciously looked back.

The woman, Ah Cheng, had a wide orange cardigan with a three-petal hem raised, her hands pressed against her white waist, and two bright and almost dazzling rays of light appeared from her waist with the rise of the orange gown.

It's like a pair of sharp fangs, and it's like a pair of dazzling eyes.

The woman's face was cold, and the three golden divine gates on her chest, back, and eyebrows lit up, and the periphery of the divine gate was covered with jerky divine patterns, flashing with divine brilliance.

Rumble!

The Divine Gate roared, and two bright but cold things shot out.

The more than ten Cang Yuwei who were killed didn't have time to react at all, their bodies shook one after another, and then their necks were cut open by the cold light, and the blood that bloomed passed through the cold light, connecting into a blood line.

The picture seemed to be still, the horror in the eyes of the people, the stunned faces of the Cang Yuwei, and the pale faces of the Zhang family's mother and daughter all froze at this moment.

Only the corners of the orange-clothed woman's mouth rose slightly, and her smile was like a peach blossom, but it was as sharp as a knife.
