Chapter 69: Believe Me!
In a poor and remote place like Heishui Town, the population base is not as large as that of Baima Town, how strong can the permanent garrison be?
Let's put it this way, Xiao Zhen, the mayor of White Horse Town and the person in charge of the garrison, is just a cultivator of the martial arts realm, but at least there are some masters of the martial arts realm in the garrison army under his command.
And what about Blackwater Town, I'm afraid the entire garrison won't be able to find a single martial artist!
However, those warriors and spiritual warriors who have just crossed the threshold of cultivators are already considered to be the masters of their top here, and most of these people have followed the ruling division to the north of the city, and those who stayed to guard the southern gate are overestimating them.
More precisely, among these dozen people, there were only two samurai.
From the very beginning, the Adjudication Division did not put the hope of blocking the city gate and chasing down the murderers on them, so Pingnanhou brought a thousand private troops in disguise and stationed in Heishui Town, so the Adjudication Division brought the elite of the entire Banner Battalion.
Therefore, the South City Gate of Heishui Town was guarded by a team of masters of the Adjudication Division, plus nearly 100 Pingnanhou private troops.
But just moments ago, these people were all transferred.
It is said that Yin Shizhen, who is in charge of the flag camp, Lord Yin, has discovered the traces of the suspect and was severely injured by him, and is now pursuing it with all his might, asking everyone to round up and cooperate.
As Xia Sheng expected, Yin Shizhen personally opened a gap for him in this airtight cage.
If such an opportunity is missed, then he is not Xia Sheng.
His reaction was far more decisive than Ning Zheng expected, and his shots were even more decisive.
One person, one sword, is enough.
It only took less than ten breaths for Xia Sheng to solve all the dozen or so garrisons like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and he didn't even make much movement during the period, it was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
This is the difference between a practitioner and an ordinary person.
This is the gap between the martial arts realm and the samurai realm.
If it weren't for Xia Sheng's kindness, he didn't intend to kill them from the beginning, he could directly split the city gate in half with a sword, and when the time came, none of these dozen people would survive.
Of course, if that were to happen, I am afraid that it would also attract the attention of the adjudication division, which would be counterproductive.
Anyway, in short, with the help of Yin Shizhen, Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng left Heishui Town very calmly, but not long after the two of them walked out of the city gate, Xia Sheng heard a very familiar shout.
"Eun Gong!
Hearing this, Xia Sheng suddenly tightened the back of his head, he turned his head in shock, and then saw a woman in black limping towards him.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Meng Qi!
"Engong, you've finally come out!" Meng Qi's eyes were full of excitement, but he had no choice but to heal from his serious injuries, his steps were still a little vain, and he walked extremely slowly.
Xia Sheng took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm, and said suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
Meng Qi shook his head, with an innocent expression: "I don't know." After Engong left, I took the medicine and fell asleep, I don't know how long I slept, I was suddenly awakened by a noise, opened my eyes, the entire Changshui Inn was about to be burned by the fire, and when I finally escaped, I found that there were officers and soldiers in the city to search for it, so I took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the city gate. ”
Xia Sheng turned his head and looked at Ning Zheng, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Ning Zheng immediately shook his head and said: "I didn't see her come out of the inn, but for a while, in the middle, I left for a while in order to keep up with Miss Qin and them, and when I came back, the Changshui Inn was already on fire." ”
Ning Zheng's words were not enough to dispel the doubts in Xia Sheng's heart, so he then asked Meng Qi, "There are people from the Adjudication Division guarding the city gate, how did you escape?"
Meng Qi smiled proudly: "Anyway, I'm also a professional killer, and hiding my body is a compulsory course for us, just those little minions, where can I be found?"
Xia Sheng didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and gently put it on Meng Qi's wrist.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, and then suddenly tore Meng Qi's clothes!
After hesitating, Meng Qi was taken aback, exclaimed, and then quickly stretched out his hand to block his important parts.
However, Xia Sheng's brows became tighter and tighter.
Meng Qi's injuries are indeed no problem, even the wounds have not healed, theoretically speaking, she is by no means Qin Yan's opponent.
But Xia Sheng still had some doubts about this sudden female killer, and he began to wonder if the other party was hiding something from him.
Who would have thought that before Xia Sheng could ask, Meng Qi took the first step to understand Xia Sheng's intentions, and immediately widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Engong...... Don't believe me?"
Xia Sheng's face stiffened, and he shook his head slightly: "It happened suddenly, I just ......"
"Engong!" Meng Qi interrupted: "If Engong thinks that Meng Qi has done something to betray your trust, it is killing or chopping, and it is up to Engong to deal with it, but Engong can't insult the loyalty of a killer!"
As he spoke, Meng Qi flipped it with one hand, handed the Wind Suppression Blade he was carrying with him into Xia Sheng's palm, gently closed his eyes, and led his neck to be killed.
The next moment, Xia Sheng grabbed Meng Qi's arm with one hand, and reached out like lightning with the other, pressing the blade of the dagger against Meng Qi's neck.
Meng Qi didn't say a word, didn't move, and seemed to be really ready to prove his innocence with his life.
Xia Sheng's hand was as steady as ever, but he didn't move half an inch.
The minutes passed like this, and the silence in the room was suffocating.
After a while, Meng Qi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xia Sheng who was close at hand, and said, "Engong, if you don't want to do it, do you want me to kill yourself?"
As the words fell, Xia Sheng took half a step back, flicked his fingers, turned the direction of the Wind Sweeping Blade, and handed it back to Meng Qi.
"Well, I believe in you. ”
Meng Qi took the Wind Sweeping Blade, but his face did not mean to be relieved, but looked a little lost.
Seeing this, Xia Sheng felt a little guilty, he raised his hand and patted Meng Qi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I was too careful, and I blamed you, so next, will you go to Luoyang with us?"
Meng Qi nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I haven't repaid you for saving your life!"
Xia Sheng smiled bitterly: "Okay, we have also delayed a lot of time, let's leave here first, otherwise we will wait for the people from the Adjudication Division to arrive later, but the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Meng Qi nodded, followed Xia Sheng's footsteps and walked towards the side of the official road, but after a while, he asked a cold question.
"Engong, you saw all my body just now, do you have to be responsible for me?"
When Meng Qi asked this sentence, he didn't have the shyness of his daughter's family at all, or the reserve of everyone's ladies, but was full of openness, as if he was asking what to eat later.
Hearing this, the corners of Xia Sheng's mouth twitched, and he immediately waved his big hand, pointing to Ning Zheng who was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring face.
"He also saw it and told him to be responsible!"
