Chapter Seventy-Three: Trickery

Compared with the houses of the Zhou family or the Tian family, the county government is much more generous.

There is a vestibule, a stone hill, a main hall in the middle, and three two-story houses in the back. According to the living customs, the main hall is generally used to entertain guests, and the side room is for relatives and children to live, and the bedroom of the county should be directly behind the main hall.

Although there is a vigil in the mansion, it is no different from a fixed barricade for a fox demon who can see at night. Silently avoiding the eyes of the night watchman, the two easily climbed up to the second floor along the foot of the house and arrived at the county governor's residence.

And it turned out that they had not guessed the wrong location - even at this point, there was still a large room in the building lit by candlelight, and Hu Zhixian's anxious voice could be faintly heard with his ears.

"Those two idiots...... Why haven't you come back yet?"

"If I catch them, I'll have them skinned!"

Those two idiots refer to the Du brothers?

Xia Fan was slightly stunned, could it be that he poisoned them, not Hu Zhixian himself?

But now is not the time to hesitate.

The key person in the whole incident is in the room at the moment, and if they can take down the other party, the balance of the situation that seems to be swinging will tilt to their side!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Li, and then slammed his shoulder.

The door opened.

In the spacious bedroom, Hu Zhixian is the only one - this is undoubtedly the most ideal of all kinds of scenarios.

Hu Huairen also turned his head, with a look of surprise on his face.

But soon, his surprise dissipated.

"You're really ...... The ghost is not gone. ”

This reaction was completely unexpected by Xia Fan.

He thought that the other party would be so frightened that he would not possess his body, or immediately shout for help, and he only had to step forward and knock him unconscious with a sword, and the next thing was to find a place to interrogate him carefully.

This unexpected development also made Xia Fan feel full of doubts, and he didn't get closer to the past for the first time.

"Did the Privy Council ask you to come?" Hu Huairen sat back at his desk, leaned back against the bench and said, "The Du brothers were also killed by you, right?"

"Not bad. Xia Fan simply followed his words, "You should know what kind of crime you have committed. It is not too much to maliciously plot to harm the people and use evil spirits to benefit themselves!"

"I admit it. ”

"Since you have pleaded guilty, then now explain the circumstances of this matter in detail, including the origin of those who were killed, and who gave them away, and maybe you can save your family's lives-"

"Hahahaha," Hu Huairen suddenly laughed, "I thought it was the attitude of the Privy Council that had changed, but it doesn't seem to be the case!"

Xia Fan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Although I have never actively dealt with those people, I know their way of doing things - at least in this matter, the Privy Council will never ask what happened, let alone spare my family's life. If you had just done it, maybe I would have believed it. Hu Huairen's voice became colder, "Of course, even if the Privy Council wants my life, I won't give it with both hands, as the saying goes, a dog will jump off the wall in a hurry!"

Just as his words landed, Xia Fan suddenly felt a chill rushing to his face!

"Be careful!" Li exclaimed.

Everything came too fast, and I saw a figure rushing down from the roof and landing in front of Xia Fan.

There was also a fleeting flash of sword light.

It was slashed against Xia Fan's shoulder, from his chest to his flank!

Bloodstained!

Xia Fan fell backwards, and then rolled on the ground several times, and the blood stains spilled suddenly formed a red line.

And the other party didn't give any respite, chased after him, and seemed to plan to make up for the fatal blow, but at this time Li was already in front of Xia Fan.

After receiving the opponent's direct stab with one palm, the fox demon used the horizontal slap of the other hand to force the opponent to release the weapon, and the two backflips widened the distance.

Li didn't care about his left hand, which was scratched by the short knife, and helped Xia Fan up, wanting to check his wounds, but he reached out and held it down.

"Don't worry, I didn't ...... Big problem. ”

Xia Fan endured the piercing pain and took a deep breath.

The slash had come so suddenly that he didn't have time to defend himself. What saved his life was Li's special training for him these days - at the moment when the chill appeared, Xia Fan vaguely noticed that the qi above his head had changed, he almost didn't think, and fell backwards completely according to the instinct accumulated in the special training, which made the originally fatal knife only tear a nearly palm-long incision on him.

"I didn't expect ordinary alchemists to be able to dodge this blow, but it was beyond my expectations. The other party slowly straightened up, and Xia Fan saw her full picture clearly. "I remember you weren't known for your skills. ”

It was a good-looking woman.

She wore a short robe with a slit neckline that was so low that she could see half of her chest bulging. The thighs are also completely exposed from the side, and the feet are covered with white socks. This dress is okay for Xia Fan, but it is definitely extremely bold in this era.

"I've seen her. Li reminded in a low voice, "Be careful, she can use Kanjutsu, and her technique is very different from that of Fang Shi. ”

"Hmm," Xia Fan pulled out a piece of first-aid gauze from the inside pocket of his robe, and pressed his shoulders and chest tightly, while feeling surprised in his heart. Could it be that this person is the beautiful woman who was sent by Du Mingjin as mentioned? The problem is that it is easy to find people with extraordinary appearance, and it is a bit rare to know how to do magic. What is the origin of that even those who are angry can give it away at will?

In addition, when this person was hiding on the roof, not only did she not notice it, but even Li couldn't find out about her existence, so it can only be said that either she is extremely good at concealment, or her strength is above the Liupin Dao!

"Qingzi, you will protect me, right?" Hu Huairen said fiercely, "Kill these two thieves!"

The woman known as Qingzi smiled charmingly, "Of course, this is the mission of the concubine. ”

As she spoke, she took out two strangely shaped daggers from her arms, threw them at Xia Fan and Li, and then fell to the ground and rushed towards the two.

The wooden sword may have been good against the evil spirit, but it suddenly fell to the ground in the face of the golden and iron object, and although the dagger was flicked off by this blow, the blade also snapped off.

Li took the lead in approaching the woman, his hands turned into sharp claws, and he used illusions to scare the other party! In an instant, Zhixian's bedroom seemed to have become a terrifying place with a sea of blood, and even Xia Fan felt that his feet were sinking into sticky flesh and blood, and it became difficult to move an inch for a while. Qingzi was the first to bear the brunt, with a look of horror on her face, and her hands and feet stiffened, as if she had lost the ability to resist.

Lai's hands pierced the other party mercilessly.

But the next moment, the figure of the enemy turned into a cloud of smoke.

What kind of spell is this?

When Xia Fan was still surprised, Qingzi, who had reappeared in his form, had already rushed in front of him!

Sure enough, the other party had already judged that the fox demon was a difficult opponent and decided to give priority to solving the weaker self. However, he was also prepared, and threw forward the copper wire pendant that he had held in his hand in advance - after a few actual battles, he had already figured out the characteristics of the thunder of the seismic technique: after this technique was activated, if there was an introduction, it would be centered on the introduction, and a thunderbolt would fall enough to tear the air. In other words, he didn't need to wait for the enemy to get close before casting the spell, as long as he made sure that the copper wire fell under his gaze, he could cause a thunderbolt in the air.

The power of the Duojutsu is deadly enough!

However, the other party did not pounce to the end, but stopped abruptly, and quickly interlaced his hands, combining into a series of strange gestures.

That posture actually made Xia Fan feel a sense of déjà vu.

There was no medicine and no talisman, and after the woman made a few gestures, a scorching flame erupted from her mouth!
