Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and Setting in the West Chapter 37 The sound of horses' hooves at night

Qiao Leshan led people to surround Wen Budao and the two, and Lu Hong saw the wine gourd on the waist of the hat-bearer, and blurted out Qin Xiao's name.

The man took off his hat, and did not hide it, his eyebrows were clear, his expression was calm, and it was really Qin Xiao.

"Lu catches the head." Qin Xiao even saluted Lu Hong very politely, and then pointed at Qiao Leshan and said: "This person wants to harm officials and criminals on the way to escort and catch heads, we must not let these traitors succeed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Lu Hong's face was a little ugly, and he asked, "You put the fire?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Xiao did not deny it: "These people want to harm the officials and criminals, and I have no choice but to secretly set a fire in the firewood room and lure them out of the house, so that the officials and criminals can be rescued." ”

Qiao Leshan glanced at Lu Hong and sneered: "This is the one surnamed Qin?" ”

"Qin Xiao, why did you come here?" Lu Hong's expression was awe-inspiring: "These things have nothing to do with you, why do you want to get involved yourself?" ”

Qin Xiao actually took off the wine gourd and took a sip very leisurely, and then said: "After the criminal Cao issued the order, I am also very strange, how can the case that has been judged be changed? In the past few days, I have checked privately, only to find out that Boss Qiao is behind this. ”

Qiao Leshan sneered and said lightly: "Don't you know when I don't know?" If you want to talk from Hu Laosan's mouth, I know it clearly, but even Han Yunong didn't dare to interfere with the criminal Cao's case, you are a little jailer, what kind of storm can you turn over? ”

"I've always wondered, if Uncle Wen can really be convicted of a capital crime, why didn't you do it when you bought the torture Cao in Turtle City?" Qin Xiao said calmly: "The reason can only be that Uncle Wen's case really can't be convicted of a capital crime, so I thought, you can't let Xing Cao convict him of a capital crime in Turtle City, and when you arrive in Fenggan Mansion, how can you do it?" ”

Although Wen Budao was surrounded, he was calm and calm, without the slightest panic, and said with a smile: "He can't do it." ”

"I really can't do it." Qin Xiao also smiled: "So today Uncle Wen was taken away from the Jiazi prison, I thought what would you do to Uncle Wen?" Later, I was reminded that I couldn't do anything in Turtle City or Bonggan Province, but it was a few days to travel from Turtle City to Bonggan Province, and it was much easier to do something in the middle than in the city. ”

Qiao Leshan knew that the situation was settled, hugged his arms in front of his chest, and said leisurely: "So you follow all the way?" Qin Xiao, I'm really a little strange, what is the relationship between this Wen Budao and you, you have to make this backwater? ”

"Uncle Wen is a good person, at least compared to you, he is really a good person." Qin Xiao sighed: "I know that such a good person will encounter danger, of course I can't turn a blind eye. He looked at Lu Hong and said: "I didn't expect Lu Zhutou to be involved in this, and I followed him out of the city in the morning, in fact, I just wanted to remind Lu Zhutou that he was likely to encounter trouble on the way, but as soon as I got out of the city, I saw you leading people to follow behind Lu Zhutou, so I wanted to see what the hell you were going to do." ”

Qiao Leshan spread out his hands and said with a smile: "You now know what we are going to do, what can you do?" ”

Qin Xiao looked directly at Lu Hong and said, "Head catcher, do you really want to be with them?" ”

The corners of Lu Hong's eyes twitched, staring at Qin Xiao, his face gradually turned cold, as if he had made up his mind, and said coldly: "Qin Xiao, I told you a long time ago that it is not easy to be a bird. He turned around and stretched out his hand to a strong man on the side and said, "Give me the knife!" ”

The strong man only thought that Lu Hong was going to make a move in person, looked at Qiao Leshan, and saw Qiao Leshan nodding slightly, so he handed the big knife to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong took the knife, but it was thrown at Qin Xiao and landed at Qin Xiao's feet, Qiao Leshan's brows tightened, only to hear Lu Hong already say in a deep voice: "Qin Xiao, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you pick up the knife and kill Wen Budao with your own hands, we won't be embarrassed by you." ”

Qiao Leshan immediately understood that Lu Hong did this, although it was to pull Qin Xiao into the water together, but it was also to give Qin Xiao a way to live.

If Qin Xiao really killed Wen Budao with his own hands, then of course, it would be impossible for Qin Xiao to leak out tonight's matter.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Wen Budao's mouth, looked at Qin Xiao, and said, "Good boy, you have done your best to me, and I am grateful in my heart." Raising his hand, the shackles were not removed: "My appearance is difficult to protect itself, let alone protect you, if you kill me with your own hands, they should not embarrass you." If I die, the Duwei Mansion may not be able to find out to the end, but if you make a mistake, Han Yunong will never give up. ”

His last sentence was obviously to remind Qiao Leshan that it was best not to easily kill the people of the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Xiao frowned, and said to Lu Hong: "Lu Zhutou, you are the old man of the Duwei Mansion, I haven't entered the Duwei Mansion yet, you are already a fast-paced head catcher, Lord Duwei takes you very seriously, you have done something wrong, if you can repent of it, Lord Duwei may be able to deal with it lightly, but ......!" Raised his hand and pointed at Qiao Leshan and said, "If you do evil with these people, you will really hurt Uncle Wen, and it will be too late to turn back." ”

"Qin Xiao, I will give you a way to live, but you don't want it, but don't blame me for not thinking about the righteousness of my brother." Lu Hong clenched his fists.

Qiao Leshan carried his back with one hand, stared at Wen Budao's eyes and said, "Big brother, let me ask you for the last time, the whereabouts of the silver, do you say yes?" ”

Wen Budao smiled indifferently and did not speak.

Qiao Leshan snorted coldly, and waved his hand to let his subordinates rush forward, but Lu Hong had already raised his hand and said, "Wait!" ”

"Headcatcher wants to let this little beast go?" Qiao Leshan sneered.

Lu Hong's face sank, and he said: "Qiao Leshan, we made it clear before, I will help you do this, 50,000 taels of silver can't be missing a penny from me, you kill him now, where does the silver come from?" ”

"I'm too worried about catching heads." Qiao Leshan said: "He is dead, the gambling house is still there, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I promise you money, and I won't lose a penny of money." ”

For Qiao Leshan, it is naturally good to be able to force Wen Budao to ask about the whereabouts of the silver, but if Wen Budao refuses to explain, then he will definitely not be able to live.

Lu Hong looked at Qin Xiao, saw Qin Xiao's expression was cold, and he was also looking at himself, gritted his teeth, turned his back, and no longer looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao saw it in his eyes, knowing that Lu Hong had made the final decision and could no longer be recovered.

Qiao Leshan waved his hand, and his subordinates were waiting to step forward, when they suddenly saw Lu Hong raise his arm again, Qiao Leshan showed annoyance, and he didn't speak, but he heard Lu Hong already say in a deep voice: "Listen, yes..... What was that? ”

Qiao Leshan was stunned, frowned, and listened.

"The sound of horses' hooves!"

One of them said immediately.

Immediately there was a humane next to him: "Yes, it's the sound of horses' hooves, from ...... Coming from the north, hey, yes, it's from the post station. ”

Qiao Leshan's face changed slightly.

Qin Xiao naturally heard it at this time, and in the night, sure enough, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the north, and the sound of hooves was staggered, obviously there were a lot of horses.

"Be careful!" Qiao Leshan let out a low snort, clenched his fists, and was on full alert, and the four strong men under his hands also clenched their knives.

Although Xiling has not regenerated the scourge of swords and soldiers over the years, this land has never been truly peaceful.

Although the many cities located in the land of Xiling are orderly, outside the city, there is often another world, and there are often bandits.

In the early years, for their own interests, the Xiling Gate Valve ensured that the Xiling Corridor could be unblocked, and they had joined forces to suppress bandits in the name of the Xiling Protectorate, but they also exterminated several powerful bandits, which once made the Xiling bandits shrink their heads.

In today's Xiling land, although there are almost no big bandits that can threaten the gate valve, there are still not a few robbers who are scattered and robbed houses.

At this time, suddenly a few riders came over here, and Qiao Leshan and the others only thought that there were robbers.

In the night, come to ride like the wind, just in the blink of an eye, there are seven or eight horses like ghosts come out, only a few steps away from Qiao Leshan, when the first horse to hold the reins of the horse, the high-headed horse under the seat neighed, stood alone, and stopped in the place.

The other riders lined up in a row, and almost at the same time reined in their horses, only half a position behind the first rider, neatly and neatly.

The night wind blew, Qin Xiao could see clearly, there were a total of nine horses to ride, all of them were black horses, these nine horses were all fat and long-legged, and the knights on the horses were all wearing black leathers, carrying long bows, carrying sabers at their waists, and wearing black cloaks.

What's even more shocking is that these nine people are wearing extremely strange masks, hideous and terrifying, like ghosts in the dark night.

"You ..... Who are you? Qiao Leshan saw that the other party's majesty was strange and strange, and his back was cold.

The first rider was wearing a fanged mask, the eyes under the mask were very sharp, and when he looked up at Wen Budao, who was not far behind Qiao Leshan, he turned over and dismounted, pressed the handle of the saber on his waist with one hand, and turned a blind eye to Qiao Leshan and the others, and walked straight to Wen Budao.

The other party was fierce, and there were many people, and Qiao Leshan and the others did not dare to act rashly for a while.

The masked man walked in front of Wen Budao, "choking", but he had already pulled out the saber at his waist, and in the night, the saber glowed with a dark light, and at the moment when the saber was unsheathed, it even made people feel a cold air hit.

Wen Budao actually had a shallow smile on his face, raised his arms, and sent the shackles to the masked man, the masked man didn't say a word, the saber swung up, the hand rose and fell, the speed was extremely fast, only to hear the sound of "click", the shackle has been broken into two.

Lu Hong and the others suddenly changed color, and even Qin Xiao let out a light "ah", thinking that this person's saber was not only extremely sharp, but also extremely good at knife skills.

"I came a little late, but fortunately I didn't delay things too much." The masked man said softly: "Fifth brother, don't blame me!" ”

Wen Budao smiled, patted the masked man's shoulder, pointed to Qin Xiao on the side, and said, "This is my little brother, Yi Bo Yuntian, if it weren't for him, I might not be able to wait for you to come over." ”

The masked man didn't care that Qin Xiao was still young, and actually bowed deeply to Qin Xiao, and said with a hint of respect: "This kindness, brothers will not forget, and they will definitely find an opportunity to repay it." ”

Qin Xiao finally came back to his senses and asked Wen Budao, "God of Gamblers..... Uncle Gambler, ...... they? ”

"Brother Qin, don't be afraid, these are all your own brothers." Wen Budao said softly: "If you are kind to me, you are kind to them." ”

A strong man beside Qiao Leshan only felt incredible, and couldn't help asking, "What are you ......?" ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, a feather arrow tore the air, and the sound of "poof" had already submerged from the strong man's neck, and instantly penetrated the strong man's neck, and the strong man's words couldn't make a sound at all, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.

Of the eight knights on horseback, one was retracting his bow, and his movements were fluid and apparently well-trained.
