"My lord, the journey from Canghai City to Zhongjing City is dangerous, so let me wait to escort the letter back to Beijing on your behalf. Isn't it easier for you to accept that?" you said with a chuckle in the young man's eyes.

A trace of disappointment rose in his heart, because he was a soldier, he took it as his responsibility to protect his family and country, and took obedience to orders as the highest standard, but when this standard conflicted with his bottom line, he felt that the faith he had built up over the years collapsed.

How can a nation join forces with a hostile state against its own people? This is something that Ren Liaojie couldn't have imagined.

So when Lin Ji assigned him to do this, he was dismissive. But only now, he finally believed what Shizi said.

So there was some desperation in his mood that he couldn't believe in it.

"Look for death. The leader finally lost all patience, and slowly raised his left hand, which was beside him. Although he is a cultivator, he still hopes that he can solve the problem in front of him without using his hands.

The fifteen crossbows were lifted in unison as his left hand was raised, not at everyone, but at the person closest to them, for they knew that all the great men together were not so dangerous.

"Is it too much to bully less? This is not the style of the empire, is it too embarrassing for the soldiers. Liao Jie was not afraid of crossbow arrows, but he felt that the battle should end in a military way.

"Oh, are you sure it's fair for me to make a move?" the leader sneered, tilting his head slightly. Then there was a series of crunch sounds.

"Let's make a bet.

"What bet?"

"If you win, I'll die, if I win, letter me. Is it fair?" Liao Jie said softly.

"It doesn't sound like I'm at a loss. That's a certainty. "The flesh and spirit of a soldier naturally cannot withstand any provocation.

As soon as the leader's voice fell, the movements in his hands were already raised.

The "ding ......" is as crisp as a porcelain bowl falling to the ground, and just a short sound is enough to make everyone in the venue stunned in place.

Some of the villagers reacted in time, hurriedly slipped from the corner to the door, and then scrambled to flee from the inn, which had been a paradise a moment ago.

The leader's eyes were sharp, and the cold air of the long knives that had been unsheathed for a long time was sprayed wantonly, and it didn't seem to be affected much because they hadn't been unsheathed for a long time.

He slashed fiercely, and the thick-backed military long knife slashed a black arc in the air, whistling and slashing at Liao Jie's head, with a fierce momentum.

Liao Jie's feet didn't move, and his upper body fell backwards suddenly, and he was able to dodge this seemingly fatal blow.

The leader's eyes instantly lit up, and although his sword was not a use of essence, the cultivator's speed was already much faster.

Ordinary people want to dodge, and it is almost impossible.

Therefore, he can confirm that the person standing opposite him must also be a cultivator, but he doesn't know what the realm is.

He finally knew where Liao Jie's confidence came from.

"My knife hasn't been used for a long time, and I'm a little paused. The leader finally showed the respect he should have for the cultivators.

"I use my knife a lot, so it's a bit of a pause, and adults don't need to care. Liao Jie raised the corners of his mouth, and his slanted eyes saw the extraordinarily tight red lacquered envelope that the leader had on his chest, and then his eyes lit up.

"If you want it, then take it according to your ability. The leader roared, and the whole inn seemed to tremble a few times in response to the roar.

Then the whole person rose into the air, like a big peng with wings, and soared into the air.

He tilted his knife upwards at a forty-five degree angle, rubbing the air against the sharpest point of the entire blade, and then erupted into a series of muffled sounds, and a burning smell instantly spread throughout the inn.

The innkeeper, who wanted to escape from the inn but had no property for himself, hid behind the wooden counter, timidly covered his nose, and looked at the people in the air with a frightened expression.

"It's too fancy, it's not good. ”

The broad knife was cut down at the very top of the restaurant, like a bamboo, seemingly unstoppable, and the not stout body seemed to be about to fall down in this sharp blow, turning into flesh, and the boss even reached out to cover his eyes and did not dare to look at the bloody scene that was about to happen.

The long knife also approached Liao Jie smoothly, but to everyone's surprise, and to the surprise of the owner of the knife, the knife did not destroy Liao Jie and cut Liao Jie in half as everyone imagined, but suddenly stopped on top of the young man's head.

In the eyes of the leader, the knife trembled, stagnant in mid-air, and the two not white-skinned fingers lightly clamped on the blade, and suddenly, the long knife that was still imposing before was so well-behaved at this moment, no matter how hard the leader tried, the knife could no longer advance or retreat!

Everyone present gasped, even the few strong men who followed Liao Jie couldn't believe that Liao Jie could defuse this seemingly invincible blow so lightly.

The innkeeper poked his head out of the counter with a trembling look, unable to help his curiosity, ready to take a look at this bloody scene, but he was half frightened to death by this strange scene in front of him.

The leader was shocked, his long knife seemed to be in Liao Jie's hand, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out, so he simply let go of the long knife and jumped back, staggered to the ground, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"

Liao Jie was silent and did not answer.

"Who the hell are you?"

The fear in everyone's hearts grew, and a person behind the leader shouted: "Could it be that the reckless people have rebelled, this is the territory of our big Han." ”

Liao Jie looked at that person silently, and suddenly felt that he was ridiculous.

"Do you want to fight again?" he didn't show much interest in the others, instead looking at the fiery envelope in the leader's arms without blinking.

"The letter cannot be given to you. The leader lowered his head in convulsions, knowing that there was a huge disparity in strength between friend and foe, but he didn't want to hand over the envelope so easily.

"If you want to lose the bet, why do you want to regret it? Liao Jie put away the surging spirit that was agitating all over his body, and sighed slightly.

"If you give it to you, our whole family will die. The leader's face turned pale instantly, his hands clenched, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Liao Jie knew the rules of the Imperial Cultivation Regiment, although he was supported by the royal family, but at the same time, he also took care of their families, once the people in the Imperial Cultivation Regiment were double-minded or ineffective, they would threaten their family members, so that the cultivators could be used by the royal family smoothly.

"Then I'll give you another choice. Liao Jie slowly took a few steps forward, stood beside the leader, and patted his twitching shoulder.

"You say. "The leader suddenly became much more calm, some people practice for the sake of practice, and some people practice for the sake of life, and this leader clearly belongs to the latter.

"You die, or your family dies, choose one. ”

"Thank you, but I have one more request. The leader seemed to be much calmer at this time, and after making a decision, there was no entanglement or uneasiness.

"You say. Liao Jie stopped for the first time, and also stopped drawing his knife and waited for the leader's last words.

"I know you were supposed to be a soldier, and to be honest, I was. So, I hope you can spare the group of people behind me, they only know how to obey orders, and the rest probably don't know much. ”

"Don't worry, I only take trust, don't kill people. ”

"Dare to ask the name of the gentleman. The leader's cheeks trembled, and he slowly closed his eyes, and lines of cold sweat involuntarily flowed from his forehead, this is the fear of death, how can a person not be afraid of death when he lives.

"It doesn't matter what my name is. Liao Jie slowly pulled out the knife at his waist, put it on his neck, put his ear close to his side and whispered, "You just need to know that I am from Canghai City." ”

"I see, I see. The leader looked up to the sky and sighed, then the green veins on his neck were exposed, and he never said a word again.

The next moment, blood gushed out like a spring, and it instantly soaked the inn like a heavy rain after summer. The owner of the inn was really scared and fainted.

The bowl-sized head tumbled in the air for a few weeks before falling off and leaning against the corner of a table, motionless.
