Seeing so many cavalry, the officers and soldiers in front of the City Lord's Mansion were dumbfounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Before they could react, the horn of the cavalry attack had already sounded.

The sound of the firecrackers was one after another, and in just one volley, hundreds of officers and men fell to a group of people, some of whom were killed on the spot, some of whom were wounded and fell to the ground, and they were still squirming on the ground, screaming.

After the volley, the company commander in the cavalry waved his hand forward and shouted: "Cavalry charge!"

In other wind armies, there is no such position as a company commander, only in the gendarmerie.

At the suggestion of Caidang and Ziyin, the gendarmerie carried out a reform of the military system, and divided it into more systematic divisions, with 10 people as squads, 30 people as platoons, 100 people as companies, 1,000 people as battalions, 3,000 people as regiments, and 10,000 people as corps.

With the order of the company commander, the fire gun in the hands of the military police immediately turned into cavalry, and the long sword poked out from the horse's neck.

Poof, poof, poof-

The cavalry charged to the front of the officers and soldiers, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, a row of officers and soldiers were stabbed to the ground, and the rest of the officers and soldiers reacted, where did they dare to fight, and they screamed again and again in fright, and ran towards the city lord's mansion like a swarm.

The gendarmes did not give up, turned their horses' heads, rode war horses, and chased them along the gate of the city lord's mansion. It's just that as soon as a few gendarmes chased into the City Lord's Mansion, they all screamed in surprise, and one by one flew out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Several gendarmes fell outside the door, their faces disgraced, and people got up from the ground with bared teeth and a look of horror on their faces. Xiao Jue, who was watching the battle, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, it seems that there are still spiritual martial arts masters hidden in the City Lord's Mansion!"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a long howl came from the city lord's mansion, and a figure jumped out of the mansion. Instead of the main entrance, the man climbed over the wall and ran straight to the west of the residential area.

Shangguan Xiu could see it clearly, he snorted coldly, and the folding fan in his hand only shook slightly, and the person had already shot out like lightning. That person's speed was fast, Shangguan Xiu's speed was even faster, even if Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei used Shadow Drift continuously, they couldn't catch up with Shangguan Xiu.

When the two sides were only about five meters away, Shangguan Xiu cast a wind shadow duel, swept past the other party, and ran directly in front of the man. The man's reaction was extremely fast, his body turned, and he jumped onto a house on the side of the road, only a few ups and downs, and the person ran more than ten meters away.

The secret voice is so fast, there is no need to fight, Shangguan Xiu can already judge that the other party is a first-class spirit martial arts master.

How could a small city lord's mansion hide such a powerful master? This is too abnormal. Shangguan Xiu chased even tighter, and once again performed the Wind Shadow Duel, narrowing the distance between the two sides.

When he was almost close to the back of the man, the other party suddenly accelerated again, and while accelerating, he stepped down with his feet hard, and the roof tiles shattered several pieces, and the pieces were ejected backwards in unison.

Shangguan Xiu behind didn't think about it, with a wave of his arm, the strong wind swept out, and the broken stones that flew towards him seemed to hit an invisible wall, hovering in the air for a moment, and then all flew to the side.

After delaying for a while, the man had already jumped more than ten meters away.

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, this time he cast a continuous shadow duel, three consecutive wind shadow duels, allowing him to chase after the opponent's back in an instant, and at the same time, he slashed out with a hand knife, slamming the back of the opponent's neck.

The man shouted, and with a golden pendant, he stepped out of a big hole in the roof, and the whole person fell down the hole. Shangguan Xiu didn't hesitate for a moment, and jumped into the hole.

To his surprise, the man did not run again after falling into the house, but stood in front of the wall with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile. Shangguan Xiu looked at the other party, this person was about thirty years old, with a mediocre appearance, and he was wearing ordinary green clothes.

Unfamiliar faces, strange people, Shangguan Xiu can be sure, he has never seen this person, but in the other party's body, he just has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Especially looking at each other's eyes, those eyes as bright as obsidian, made him feel familiar.

His heart moved, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously. He walked slowly towards the other party.

He walked very slowly, and while approaching the other party, he was also making a temptation, and the man stood still without moving, his expression calm, not in the slightest nervous and cramped by his approach.

Soon, Shangguan Xiu walked in front of him, and the distance between the two was so close that their bodies were almost together. Shangguan Xiu took a step to the side, leaned forward again, approached the other party, and took two deep breaths beside him.

"Are you a dog?" the man asked with a smirk as he looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was sniffing vigorously beside him.

A person's appearance can change, but the smell of a person's body does not change, and there is also temperament that does not change. Listening to the other party's sarcasm, Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, leaned forward and shrank back, stared at the other party helplessly for a while, and arched his hand and said, "Holy Maiden!"

The man giggled. Although this person is mediocre, he is also a man, but when it is weird, the laughter at this time is as crisp as a copper bell, which makes people feel beautiful when they listen to it, as if it is a heavenly sound.

The appearance of the man and the laughter of the woman are combined, and there is an indescribable sense of weirdness and disobedience.

The man's body turned around, and when she faced Shangguan Xiu again, she had already turned into a noble, delicate and beautiful face. Isn't that a saint or who?

"You can always recognize me!" When she used random change, it was a little difficult to deceive the Great Elder of the Divine Pool, because the Great Elder's cultivation was too profound, and he could feel her spiritual pressure from her body, but it was still no problem to deceive ordinary elders.

But in front of Shangguan Xiu, she changed her image twice, and he easily saw through it. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. "Shangguan Xiu can recognize the saintess, and it doesn't all depend on smelling her body.

Wind cultivators are known for their speed, but even he, a wind cultivator, has to use the Wind Shadow to catch up, which means that the other party's cultivation must be above him. There are only a handful of Lingwu masters who are higher than him, and the other party just runs and does not fight with him, which shows that there is no malice towards him, and there are very few who meet these conditions, coupled with that pair of familiar eyes and an unforgiving mouth, it is not difficult for Shangguan Xiu to guess her identity.

Hearing his explanation, the saint pursed her lips disapprerovingly.

Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Why is the Holy Maiden here?" He didn't think that the Holy Maiden had come to observe the situation of the people in the disaster area. Although the wind people hold the Shenchi very high, the character of the Shenchi people is colder than the other.

"I'm going to Ningnan Yunyou, passing by here, and I happened to meet you. The saint said lightly.

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he immediately understood that the holy woman was waiting for him here.

Warm currents flowed through his heart. The Great Elder of Shenchi refused very simply, and bluntly showed him that he would never escort him, but he didn't expect that the Holy Maiden would be able to do this to him.

He lowered his head and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Holy Maiden...... Did you hide it from the elders and come out without permission?"

The holy maiden snorted and laughed, and said, "Shangguan Xiu, you guessed wrong this time, I went to Ningnan this time, but I informed the elders!"

Shangguan Xiu looked at the holy maiden in surprise and asked, "The elders agreed?"

The saint said meaningfully: "Do you think that the elders are really so cold-blooded, and they really don't care about the world at all?"

Shangguan Xiu was silent. Isn't it?

The saint said: "Rules are rules, how can the elders take the lead in breaking them, but outside the rules, the elders are still willing to help you." ”

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, revealing a look of sudden realization. The rules set by Shenchi do not interfere in the world, and when he visited Ningnan this time, Shenchi did not have the obligation to escort him, even if he wanted to protect him, it did not meet the rules of Shenchi.

But it is different if there is a saint to walk with him, Shenchi cannot send someone to protect him, but someone must be asked to protect the saint. The saint is with him, which is equivalent to Shenchi coming out to protect him.

Looking at Shangguan Xiu, who was silent in thought and his face was uncertain, the Holy Maiden asked with a smile: "Now, does His Royal Highness still think that the elders of the Divine Pond are 'a bunch of sanctimonious and wolf-hearted things'?"

Shangguan Xiu's old face turned red and said with a smile: "What I said at the time was just a joke, not malicious......"

"Jokes can scold the Shenchi to the blood, if you tell the truth, won't everyone in the Shenchi have to be scolded to death by you?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and muttered, "You have to take care of the unforgiving girl." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two muffled bangs. Two large holes were made in the roof of the house, and a man and a woman jumped in through the holes. These two are Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei who caught up.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu standing with a woman in Tsing Yi, the two who were originally murderous were both stunned, looking at Shangguan Xiu and the saint with blank faces.

Shangguan Xiu subconsciously looked at the Holy Maiden, who shook his head slightly at him, he understood in his heart, and said: "Jue, Yufei, she is a friend of mine, this time, she will go to Ningnan with me." ”

Friends?Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei have never seen the Holy Maiden, they have been with Shangguan Xiu for so many years, and they never knew that he had such a friend.

Just when the two of them were in a daze, the holy woman smiled at the two of them and said, "Just call me Wanjing in the future." ”

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei looked at the Holy Maiden, then at Shangguan Xiu, and then arched their hands and said, "Miss Wanjing." ”

The saintess smiled indifferently, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and asked, "Do you plan to kill all the officers and soldiers in Guancheng?"

"They all deserve to die!" The people in the disaster area are already miserable enough, but these city soldiers are still helping to abuse the people, and Shangguan Xiu certainly doesn't want to leave these people behind.

"Thou hast slain too much, and thou shalt be sparing. The saint persuaded.

"You want me to let them go?"

"I'm not going to dictate your decisions, I'm just saying what I want. ”

"Well, as you wish. Shangguan Xiu nodded, turned back to Xiao Jue and said, "Pass the order, the officers and soldiers in Rao City will not die, and all of them will be dismissed!"

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei almost dropped their jaws when they heard this, what Brother Xiu decided would never change easily, but this woman made Brother Xiu change his decision with just a few words, which is also incredible, who is this girl named Wanjing?
