The two returned to the house used as a signing room to go through the corresponding procedures, and the military officer accepted Qi Xuansu's official ticket and issued two bills, one for Qi Xuansu, which was considered a voucher, and the other was kept for himself.

The Shenji Battalion does not have to pay taxes, but it has to reconcile accounts, and the imperial court will also send officials from the Planning and Examination Institute to audit the accounts every year. The so-called Accounting and Examination Institute is a new yamen set up in this dynasty, and its main responsibility is to check the accounts of the treasury of the Ministry of Households, the local treasury, the weaving bureaus, and the municipal shipping divisions, the Ministry of Industry, and the Cao Canal Road Yamen.

The Shenji Battalion is also among them, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.

In this way, Qi Xuansu only had three hundred Taiping money left, but he had one more pair of spiritual objects.

I have to say that the outer belt issued by Tiangang Hall is indeed easy to use, and it can hang up to six blades. Qi Xuansu staggered his two swords behind his waist, and the short sword and firecracker were still hanging on both sides of his waist. There are two empty seats left, one on the left and one on the left.

But even so, it is also "dazzling", a fire gun, a short sword, plus a double knife, although they are no more than three feet, it is quite convenient to carry, but it is inevitable to "ring and clink" between walking, people are all kinds of jade ornaments collide, jingle, Qi Xuansu is a variety of weapons sound.

The military officer joked: "This brother, it is better to buy a long gun or a long bow to carry on your back." ”

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "It's already bankrupt." If it's not an addition, then forget it. ”

The military officer smiled: "It's not impossible to have a head, but it has to be a large business." The implication is that this kind of small deal is not qualified enough.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything more, said goodbye and left here.

Qi Xuansu originally wanted to buy a horse, but he didn't have enough money, so he had to give up, anyway, he had a horse, and he couldn't walk slower than others on his legs.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu found that the people in black began to gather in batches, their expressions were solemn, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Qi Xuansu didn't know what was going on, but he was also afraid that he would be harmed by the pond fish, so he hurried out of the city.

The gathering of the people in black was naturally because Qin Wuxian issued a military order to rectify in situ, Qi Xuansu was just an outsider, and he couldn't find his head, and there was a waist card issued by Qin Wuxian himself, but no one came to stop him.

On the way, Qi Xuansu saw the shopkeeper of the "inn" who was also alone, and it seemed that he was also going out of the city.

Seeing Qi Xuansu, the shopkeeper showed a vigilant look on his face.

Qi Xuansu understands and understands this kind of defense, after all, the rivers and lakes are not good places, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. So Qi Xuansu just nodded slightly, and turned to the direction of another city gate, which was not big, just a few more steps.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the city.

It's just that after walking for about ten miles, there was no patrol cavalry of the man in black, and the shopkeeper was chased by several people and surrounded by groups.

"Shopkeeper, where are you going?" The first one smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly.

He knew this group of people, they were all frequent visitors to the "inn", and they had to look up to him on weekdays. After the men in black entered the city, because they were quite obedient, and they were not members of the secret association, they were just ordinary Jianghu people, so they saved their lives. But he didn't expect this group of people to wait for him here.

The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What to do? Just ask the treasurer for justice. Another scholar-like man spoke.

The shopkeeper remained silent: "What justice? You work for the 'inn' on weekdays, and the 'inn' has never treated you badly. ”

A strong man with a shiny scalp sneered: "So many brothers believed your nonsense, went to that workshop, and none of them came back, shouldn't they ask you for justice?" ”

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes: "The 'inn' is also dead." ”

"That's your business, don't do our business, we only want justice for our dead brother." The leader said lightly, this person was wearing a Taoist robe, not a gentry's robe, wearing a pair of disc sunglasses and a wisp of goatee, like a fortune teller.

The shopkeeper's heart was bright, these people saw the heavy losses of the "inn", so they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.

This time, in addition to the nine masters sent by the main store, the people in charge of cleaning the periphery were not all hired, and some of the people of the "inn" branch were also folded inside.

It's a pity that several of his buddies are not good at martial arts, and they still stay in the city, and now they are the only ones left, and they may not be the opponents of these people.

The shopkeeper said: "Although everyone is a friend, but after all, they are not real brothers, this justice, it is not the turn of a few people to ask for it, right?" ”

The strong man was about to speak, but the leader raised his hand to stop him, and said lightly: "In the conversation, life and death are the same, and a promise is heavy." Which brother on the rivers and lakes is not a person who sticks a knife in his ribs for his friends? It's not a blood brother, it's better than a blood brother. We asked for justice, so naturally we sent it to the door in person. ”

The scholar nodded and agreed: "Exactly, my brother's wife is raised by me, and my brother should not worry." ”

The shopkeeper sneered in his heart, this group of jackals came to the door afterwards, but it was not for the sake of the brothers to support the family, but for the wealth of those who died, I was afraid that the family of those people would soon go underground to meet them.

The shopkeeper was silent, his mind turning sharply, thinking about how to get out.

The strong man finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted: "Big brother, what nonsense to talk to him, let him hand over the Sumeru treasures on his body." ”

The shopkeeper did carry a Sumeru treasure on his body, but it did not belong to him personally, but to the branch of the "inn", which contained various file records and large amounts of money from the branch, and his task was to bring this Sumeru treasure back to the main store. If the Sumeru treasure is lost, not to mention the secrets and money in the Sumeru treasure, just the Sumeru treasure itself is also sky-high, and the head office will not let him go, so let him hand over the Sumeru treasure, it is better to kill him.

The shopkeeper said coldly: "Poor dagger, you are here to rob while the fire is burning, but I advise you, although the money is good, I am afraid that you will not be able to spend it, and the 'inn' will not let you go." ”

The leader stroked his beard unhurriedly: "If it is usual, this is true, but now it is the man in black who has blocked the West Gobi, and the outside does not know the news inside, we will kill you at this time, no one will know, it is really the right time, place, and people." ”

"That's what Big Brother said!" The strong man laughed, "The Sumeru on your body is enough for my brother to eat and wear for the rest of his life, and he can wash his hands in a golden basin." ”

The scholar was even more reprimanded: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the three of us brothers repent and decide to stop there, shopkeeper, you touch your conscience and say, will you let us go?" I'm afraid that the first thing you will do when you return to the main store is to send someone to hunt us down. It's just that there is no turning back from the bow, let's talk less nonsense and see the truth under our hands! ”

Before the words fell, there was already a pitch-black strong crossbow in the scholar's hand, which was Qingluanwei's "Jackdaw Crossbow", the arrow was blue, and it was obviously quenched with poison.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu was able to dodge the jackdaw crossbow, not because his speed was faster than the speed of the crossbow arrows, but because he could do it faster than the Qingluanwei who used the crossbow arrows, the main reason was that people couldn't do it, and the crossbow couldn't be blamed.

The scholar's technique is undoubtedly far superior to that of ordinary Qingluanwei, and he suddenly uses cold arrows when he speaks, and the speed is so fast that people can't even see it clearly.

The poisoned crossbow arrow almost grazed the shopkeeper's face, and if he hadn't been secretly guarded, he would have been hit by this arrow right in the door. Rao is shopkeeper, a master of the jade void stage, was shocked into a cold sweat.

The scholar's arrow was just a signal, and the three of them pounced on it in unison and killed the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook out a nine-section whip in the appearance of a spiritual object, the golden light is shining, the head of the whip is a dragon head, the whip body is inlaid with various colored gems, shining, brilliant, a show of movement, both mighty, and gorgeous, the end is good-looking. Between the dances, the sound of breaking the sky is endless, and even a golden energy is born, like a golden dragon.

However, the three of them are all veterans of the rivers and lakes, and they are not in a hurry to go up and fight hard, the strong man is a martial artist, wearing iron armor on his body, and he is tough to resist. The scholar is a loose man, although there is no flying sword, but the two strong crossbows are superb, and the crossbow arrows can also change the trajectory in a small area according to their wishes, which is impossible to prevent, if it were not for the shopkeeper's nine-section whip dance is impermeable, it would have been succeeded by it a long time ago. But even so, it distracted the shopkeeper a lot.

Finally, the fortune teller who was the leader was a monk who had entered the dream realm, although he could not be as daylight as the thunder realm, but he was proficient in illusions, so that the shopkeeper was full of illusions and trance.

The shopkeeper is not a martial artist, even if he guards the spiritual platform and has not been taken by the illusion for a while, it is also extremely exhausting, and he can't last long.
