Camp main tent.

The sand bandits were in high spirits and screamed strangely.

Yang Ming was like a dragon trick without any sense of zài, and silently withdrew from the camp. Out of the tent, he suddenly looked back.

"Someone's coming!"

The night is dark and the wind is high.

The firewood crackled, and the fire in the camp was bright, creating a huge contrast with the outside of the camp, making the places where the fire could not be reflected appear even darker.

On the hillsides around the basin, figures swayed in the darkness. Ordinary people have a sense of sight, but Yang Ming's eyesight is far beyond ordinary people.

These people are the soldiers guarding the border in the nearby cities, and their main responsibilities are to protect the family and the country, resist foreign aggression, and by the way, also eliminate bandits, and maintain law and order around the capital.

A day ago, a well-informed person inquired about the location of the bandits. After Wang Sheng, the commander of the barracks, learned the news, he personally led the army and came to suppress the bandits with an elite army.

Gao Xiang, the adjutant of the garrison, walked quickly to Wang Sheng's side and whispered, "General, everyone is ready." ”

"Check the weapons. Wang Sheng said calmly, looking at the camp of the sand bandits from afar, looking for flaws and loopholes in the enemy's defensive strength, and quickly formulating a strategy to attack the enemy in his heart.

"Yes. ”

The soldiers were very skilled in inspecting the equipment they carried, such as armor, shields, helmets, iron swords, scimitars, spears, daggers, bows, arrows, ropes, and ......

"Shang Yu!" Wang Sheng ordered again.

"Yes. ”

"Ready to get started. Crossbowmen, kill the bandits on the watchtower first, and capture the tower......"

……

The tent of the leader of the bandits.

"Little Beauty. I'm coming. ”

The leader threw the woman onto the soft couch, and a strange smile came out of his mouth. Can't wait to pounce on it.

"Don't worry, my lord. ”

The woman dodged sideways. A silver bell-like laugh came out of his mouth, and a pair of charming eyes blinked softly twice, almost snatching his soul away.

The leader leaned over like a big-tailed wolf, and said with a shy face: "Beauty, I will give you everything you want." ”

"Really?"

"Really, my heart is already yours. ”

The leader said meaty words in his mouth, trying to soften his expression. He has been conquered by this woman.

The woman looked joyful, caressing his chest, and a sharp claw suddenly grew from her five fingers, like a sharp knife.

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

"Beast, let go of that girl!"

Yang Ming tore open the camp tent and rushed in, kicking the leader of the sand bandits away.

A look flashed in the woman's eyes, and she immediately changed into a delicate and pitiful appearance, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe." I'm so scared. ”

Yang Ming opened his hand to protect her, and said awe-inspiringly: "Beauty, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

"Childe be careful. The woman obediently hid behind his back.

"Boy. It's you, how did you get out?"

The leader of the sand bandits also recognized him, shouted angrily, and pounced on him. "It doesn't matter how you got out. If you dare to spoil the good deeds of this king, you are looking for death!"

The woman's heart said. The person who was ruined and did good things should be me, and you should thank him for saving your life.

The leader of the bandits cannot read minds. He didn't know that he had just made a trip before the ghost gate, and now he just wanted to kill this troublesome kid and enjoy the beauty.

It's a pity that the gap between the ideal and the reality is too big, and the leader of the sand bandits rushed over violently and flew back quickly upside down.

Yang Ming kicked him away, and said lightly: "Even if you dare to rob the people's daughters these two times, let's honestly find a place to farm and herd sheep." ”

"Ahh

The leader of the sand bandits was furious, and he actually let a thin scholar beat him, especially when this kind of cowardice was seen by a beautiful woman - how can this be endured!

"I'll kill you!" He immediately picked up the long sword hanging on the wall and stabbed at Yang Ming, and at this moment, he didn't care about any fat sheep or not.

Yang Ming dodged sideways, and then used his kung fu to enter the white blade with his empty hand, snatched the long sword with his hand, and stabbed it with his hand.

"Flutter!"

A sword stabbed him in the heart.

"You, you ......"

"What are you, you are a beauty, you are guilty, don't rob beauties if you don't have the ability, don't be a robber in the next life. ”

Yang Ming pushed lightly, and the leader fell to the ground with a "plop" on his face, with seven points of horror and three points of unwillingness, and he died.

"It's too wasteful, and the heart of a dead man doesn't taste good. The woman said secretly in her heart.

"Beauty, are you alright? ”

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me. ”

"Oh no, the king, ...... the king."

As soon as Yang Ming and the woman spoke, they were interrupted by the sand bandits who rushed in.

As soon as the sand bandits came in, they saw the leader lying on the ground, and they were stunned for a moment.

At this moment, a young general in armor rushed in, who was very handsome, and at first glance looked like a helpless scholar. But the man in front of him had a good force, armed with an iron spear, majestic, three times five divided by two, and killed the sand bandits in the tent.

"Who are you?" the young general was Wang Sheng.

"General, the slave family Xiaowei, originally a native of Suzhou, the family fell into the middle of the road, unfortunately fell into the hands of the sand bandits, thanks to this chivalrous rescue, the slave family was able to keep his innocence. "Little Weidao.

"In Xia Yang Ming, an ordinary swordsman in the rivers and lakes, I heard that there was a group of sand bandits here, and they came to suppress the bandits, and they happened to save Xiao Wei's girl. Yang Ming said.

Wang Sheng glanced at the two of them and said lightly, "You go with me." ”

"Good. ”

The two followed Wang Sheng out of the tent, and when they left, Yang Ming picked up an iron sword in his hand.

The iron sword of this period was completely different from the three-foot Qingfeng used in later generations, and the sword-forging technology at this time was not so sophisticated, and the sword body was thick and heavy, lacking light and dexterity, but adding a bit of might.

"Kill!"

The soldiers and the bandits tore and killed each other, shouting and shouting.

Yang Ming also used his sword to kill the enemy, even if he didn't use internal strength. With swordsmanship alone, he is also a great grandmaster-level figure. Each sword is like a stroke of genius, and it is wonderful. With every swing of the sword, a sand bandit was killed - he forged the identity of a swordsman who suppressed bandits, so he naturally had to do something worthy of his identity.

"Good swordsmanship. Wang Sheng's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

"The ability to save my life, without these two moments, I wouldn't be alive now. Yang Ming said indifferently.

The sand bandits robbed and killed only by their own ferocity, which was the opponent of these heavily armed elite soldiers, and they were quickly slaughtered.

……

Jiangdu City.

"It's back. ”

"The general is back. ”

Wang Sheng led his troops back to the city, and the people greeted him.

The soldiers were reunited with their loved ones, and they were happy.

Wang Sheng turned over and dismounted. Walked up to a woman in a white Hanfu and looked at her with tenderness on her face.

"This woman should be Wang Sheng's wife, Pei Rong. Yang Ming looked at the woman.

This woman is in her early twenties, and she is also a first-class beauty, with a dignified appearance, a simple bun on her head, elegant manners, and thousands of manners, and she is born with a noble and dusty temperament.

Yang Ming took two steps forward. interrupted their little two, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you General for taking me back to the city, and I'm going to leave later." ”

"Brother Yang, where are you going?" Wang Sheng turned around.

"The world is big. Anywhere. I am used to being at home in the lower four seas. General, farewell! Farewell!" Yang Ming arched his hand and left in a dashing manner with the iron sword on his shoulder.

"Who is he?" asked Pei Rong softly. His eyes glanced at the only woman sitting in the center of the team, Xiao Wei.

"He's a swordsman, we met when we were killing sand bandits...... She. She was the woman we rescued from the bandits, and both of her parents died. ”

"Oh. ”

Pei Rong withdrew her gaze, but she always felt that the woman was hostile to her.

Next.

Inn.

"Have you heard, last night, Wang Dafu, who sold rice in the east of the city, died. ”

"I've heard that his heart has been gouged out, and his death is horrible. ”

"Did Wang Dafu provoke any enemies?"

"Yes, what kind of person hates him so much that he wants to dig out his heart. ”

"He is not the only one who died, the widow of the Li family also died, and was only found at home this morning. ”

"It's so strange, Widow Li Ke guards the woman's way, she has always been out of the door, she has never provoked anyone, how can she be killed. ”

"Not only was he killed, but even his heart was poached, and he died exactly like Wang Dafu. ”

"It's not scary, no one will dig out their hearts. ”

Early in the morning, as soon as Yang Ming walked down from the upstairs guest room, he heard the guests in the lobby talking about these things.

Jiangdu City is just a small border town, and if there is some trouble, it will soon spread throughout the city, not to mention such a terrifying thing as digging out the heart.

"Dig your heart...... I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Yang Ming thought to himself, others don't know, he is naturally clear.

East of the city, Wang Dafu's home.

Wang Sheng squatted in front of Wang Dafu's corpse, opened the placket on his chest and took a look, his face was a little solemn.

Gao Xiang saw that his face changed slightly, and couldn't help asking, "General, have you found anything?"

Wang Sheng said in a deep voice: "The murderer is a very powerful master, and the wound on Wang Dafu's chest is neat, which shows that the murderer's sword is very neat, and there is no superfluous movement, just a sword to dig out his heart." ”

Gao Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately thought of something, and said: "With a sword master, is it ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense about things that don't have evidence. Wang Sheng interrupted him.

"Yes, General. ”

Gao Xiang responded, and then wondered: "However, why did the murderer kill Wang Dafu and Widow Li, and also poached their hearts." ”

Wang Sheng shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

Gao Xiang asked again: "General, now that the new official has not yet arrived, who should be entrusted with this matter?"

The civil and military attachés have their own jurisdictions, and the investigation of the case and the arrest of the culprits should have been handed over to the county officials, but the old county officials in Jiangdu City have resigned and returned to their hometowns, and the new county officials have not yet taken up their posts. The border guards belong to the military attache family, and they should not have interfered in this matter, but the county official is not there, so Wang Sheng is the highest-ranking official in the entire Jiangdu City, and there is any problem in the Jiangdu City. He has the responsibility and the power to take care of it.

"Let's take over this matter for the time being, and let the brothers strengthen their defenses. Beware of the murderer committing another crime. Wang Sheng said lightly.

"Yes, General. ”

……

Night.

The defenders of Jiangdu City patrolled the streets and alleys of the city. The "click" of armor and weapons rubbing against each other as you walked around resounded in the silence of the night.

"Brothers, cheer up. Now that the county magistrate has not arrived, the work of the guards can only be taken over by our brothers, so as not to embarrass the general. ”

"With us patrolling, how dare the murderer come out. ”

"That's right, if the murderer dares to come out, I will shoot him through with one arrow. ”

"Isn't the general making a bit of a fuss, so you don't need to be so cautious. ”

"Stop whining and keep patrolling. ”

Just as the patrol soldier spoke. Yang Ming stood right above their heads.

This is the tallest building in Jiangdu City, located on the west side of the Duwei Mansion, the building is four stories high, standing on the top of the building and looking down on all around, you can see most of the Jiangdu City.

Yang Ming was sure that the murderer would act again, because the fox demon could only maintain the freshness of human skin by constantly eating people's hearts.

"Whoosh. ”

At this moment, a shadow quickly passed by in his field of vision.

Yang Ming suddenly perked up, his tiger eyes shone brightly, and then he jumped down from the top of the building. Quickly chased after the figure.

The murderer's body was nimble, and he swept over the roof tiles, his steps were as light as a cat, and he did not make a sound.

The figure flickered. The figure of the murderer disappeared in the courtyard of a house.

"Ahh

The next moment, a scream sounded in the courtyard, far away.

"Click!"

At this time, Yang Ming also chased after him. Put your feet on the roof tiles and look out into the yard. I saw a man in brown leather armor rushing out of a room, still clutching a bloody heart in his hand.

The man leaped. Rise from the ground.

"Finally let me find you, I want to see what youkai are capable of!"

Yang Ming's figure flashed, and he threw himself at the man, and when he was in the air, he slapped it at him with a palm.

True Qi turned into a huge palm shadow and fell from the sky.

"Bang!"

As if he had hit an iron plate, the man shot back at a faster speed, slamming into the ground, and he stepped on a cobweb-like crack in the brick and stone floor.

The man's figure was only slightly paused, but he stood firmly, and immediately raised his head, and his gaze suddenly shot towards Yang Ming.

"I wasn't hurt. Yang Ming stood on the eaves above the man's head, and at the same time looked at him, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh" in his mouth.

You must know that even the top masters will not take it easily. The man was shot head-on by him unsuspectingly, and he only stumbled a little, showing no signs of injury at all.

From this alone, it can be inferred that his physical strength is not inferior to Dacheng's King Kong Bad Body.

People have human bodies, and demons have demon bodies. The strongest thing about a monster is its demon body and demon arts, and every monster has a successful practice, and the first thing to temper is its demon body.

This man is a lizard demon cultivator, and he only has a few hundred years of cultivation, and he has just simply tempered the demon body, and he lacks inheritance, so he can't learn demon arts, and even fighting with people only relies on martial arts and weapons. At his level, in the vast demon race, he can only be regarded as a low-level demon.

When Yang Ming was slightly stunned, the man ran away and didn't fight him head-on at all.

"Where to run!"

Yang Ming snorted lightly, referring to the sword, and slashed with his finger, the true qi gushed out, turning into a sword qi and shooting towards him.

The man's back seemed to have eyes, and he rolled on the spot, avoiding the sword qi, and before he could stand up, he "swished" into the house.

Yang Ming jumped down from the roof, touched the ground lightly with his toes, and immediately changed direction and shot towards the house.

"Boom!"

At the moment when Yang Ming rushed into the door, the man broke out of the window and quickly jumped towards the opposite roof.

"Is there any mistake, you are so timid, are you a lizard demon or a rat demon!" Yang Ming snorted, but he didn't stop at his feet, and chased after him quickly.

He didn't know that the man was frightened by him, and he could knock him away with a palm out of thin air from a few zhang away, and this kind of strength in his opinion was only available to those great demons who had achieved cultivation. Therefore, he didn't dare to fight him in close quarters at all, and only thought about running for his life quickly.

"Come here, the murderer is here!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

As soon as Yang Ming jumped onto the roof, he heard the shouts of the patrolmen, and then a rain of arrows fell on him.

"I'm going!"

Yang Ming scolded secretly, rolled up his robe, grabbed all the arrows in his hands, and said loudly: "You have recognized the wrong person, the murderer is someone else, he just ran over from here." ”

"If you dare to quibble, we will only see you alone, and we will catch him for me. A middle-aged general shouted.

Then, another rain of arrows came at him.

"Damn, the murderers let you go. Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Yang Ming shouted angrily, his body moved sideways, and he stepped on the roof tiles and quickly left in the other direction.

"Chase. ”

The middle-aged general shouted, and a group of patrol soldiers in armor ran up with a "whoosh". It's just that with their speed, how can they catch up with Yang Ming.

As soon as he turned two streets, he couldn't see Yang Ming's shadow anymore.

After Yang Ming and the patrol soldiers left, a phantom like water waves appeared under the eaves, and then the lizard demon slowly appeared, jumped to the ground, and quickly left.

Lizards, also known as chameleons, are born with the ability to assimilate the color of the skin and the surrounding environment, and after it is cultivated into a demon, this ability has become a unique kind of demon magic for him, and when performing demon magic, it can quickly become invisible and avoid people's sight.

The next day, it was still before dawn.

A group of soldiers surrounded the inn where Yang Ming lived.

"General, the murderer lives here. The middle-aged general said, this person's name is Jing Ping, and he is a general under Wang Sheng.

"Gao Xiang, you take someone to guard here, Jingping Jing'an, follow me in. Wang Sheng nodded and walked towards the inn with a group of soldiers.

The shopkeeper of the inn was awakened, ran forward in disheveled clothes, and said in a panic: "General, what are you doing here, the shop has not done anything illegal......

"It's none of your business, get out of the way. ”

Before he could get closer, Jing Ping pushed the shopkeeper away and escorted Wang Sheng upstairs.

"General, he lives here. (To be continued......)
