The threat in Cao Shugong's words is almost overflowing.

As he spoke, even the people who were just watching the excitement outside the study smelled the smell of gunpowder.

The Peach Blossom Study fell into a dead silence at that moment.

At this moment, everyone looked at Cao Shugong and the old man named Zhu Yan with wide eyes.

Zhu Quan was also stunned, probably not expecting Cao Shugong's attitude to be so resolute.

But the next moment, he grinned: "Of course. We are here to assist the imperial court, and if the imperial court can solve it, we will naturally be happy to be idle. ”

Cao Shugong frowned when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

But before the confusion in Uncle Cao's heart spread, the smile on the corner of Zhu Quan's mouth in front of him rose at this time.

"But the premise is that Lord Cao can represent the imperial court."

He said faintly at that time, and his gaze at Cao Shugong became playful and pitying.

It's like a person looking at ants busy on the ground.

You may have a moment of lamenting their hard work and finding them interesting.

But after a short compliment, you'll just find it ridiculous.

Because you know that the ants do their best, the nests they build, the food they accumulate, and even the ones they protect each other.

None of them can be beaten, and one day, on a sunny afternoon, a child stepped on a whim.

Cao Shugong felt something in Zhu Quan's gaze.

Before he could comment on it, Cao Shugong smiled and took out a piece of letter paper from his arms.

"The county magistrate is not very satisfied with the efficiency of Lord Cao's work today."

"What he means is to let Lord Cao go home to recuperate for a few days, and from today onwards, the security of Wuling City will be temporarily handed over to the subordinates."

Cao Shugong's eyes suddenly widened.

He grabbed the letter and looked at it intently, the content on it was not much different from what Zhu Quan said, and the handwriting was indeed the handwriting of the county order, and the seal at the place of payment did not have any traces of fraud.

When Zhu Quan saw Cao Shugong's appearance, the pity in his eyes was even worse, and he looked up at the official behind Cao Shugong: "Of course, you can also take this opportunity to take a good vacation." ”

"Don't worry, my master also knows that you have worked hard for this case in the past few days, and the reward you should have will be satisfied when the matter is over."

Zhu Quan said this, turned his head to look at Chu Qingxiao and the others again, the black armor behind him obviously understood what he meant, and was about to step forward at this moment.

"Cao Zhutou! They are candlestick in disguise! As soon as these black armors are masked, they will pass out! ”

"That wish-sama is a witch blessing of candles! It is estimated that the county order has long been held hostage by them, or it is in cahoots with them! Seeing that the only life-saving straw Cao Shugong couldn't count on, Wang Che was completely panicked, and he shouted loudly at Cao Shugong.

It doesn't matter if the other party can accept such an unbelievable thing, he just wants to tell everything he knows!

"They arrested us to kill people!"

I don't know if this is the case that aroused the suspicion in Cao Shugong's heart, Cao Shugong, who heard this, frowned, and stretched out a hand and pressed it on Zhu Quan's shoulder.

Zhu Quan, who was blocked, paused slightly, looked back at Cao Shugong, narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Cao, you have been catching fast for twelve years and catching heads for seven years." ”

"Nineteen years, I think it's enough for Lord Cao to read that Dayu Law, right?"

"I am now the head catcher assigned by the county order, I want to arrest the suspect in the homicide case, and to stop me is to disobey the order, if Chu Qingxiao and others are later proved to be conclusive evidence, they are murderers, and Lord Cao's actions must be punished as the same crime."

"Lord Cao can spare his life, but don't you think about your frail and sickly lady, and your child, who is only seven years old this year?"

"Without Lord Cao's protection, their orphans and widows will not have a good time in this Wuling City."

Cao Shugong's face changed, and his eyes surged with anger at that moment.

Of course, he could understand that the guy in front of him was threatening him.

Can......

His wife was frail and sickly, and the cost of hiring Langzhong over the years was enough to buy a prosperous mansion in Wuling City.

finally got better, and gave birth to a son seven years ago, and the couple regarded it as a treasure.

If something happened to him, he could never imagine how his wife and children would live.

He was, of course, a man of integrity, and he was almost stubborn many times.

Because of this integrity, he has never been able to reuse it over the years.

But also because of this integrity, even the county magistrate who has always come to see him not dealing with him is afraid that driving him away will cause resentment among the people.

As a headcatcher.

There is no doubt that he is qualified.

But in addition to catching heads, he is also the husband of his wife and the father of his children.

There are many suspicious things in the case, but there are no longer a few witnesses who witnessed Chu Qingxiao's murder yesterday.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Don't dare to gamble on the future of your wife and children because of your own suspicions.

He didn't have the courage and he didn't have the power.

Therefore, it is difficult for people to be selfless.

Because sometimes selflessness is selfishness in another sense.

It seems that he has already guessed this result, and after Zhu Quan said this, he didn't care about Cao Shugong's response at all.

He turned his head again, and this time, Cao Shugong's hand on his shoulder was also struggling slightly, and it was weakly released.

The black armor no longer had any obstacles, and at this time they surrounded Chu Qingxiao and the others.

Their bodies were filled with murderous intent, and a sense of oppression like substance enveloped everyone.

"You ...... What are you going to do! Chu Yueshan only felt that it was difficult to breathe, but he still stood in front of his son.

Sun Kuan on the side was even more unbearable, his legs trembled a little, but he desperately pressed Chu Qingxiao behind him.

Wang Dagui had the intention to call his mighty servants to protect the master, but everyone obviously understood that making money was of course important, but the premise of having a life was more important.

Anyone in this group of black armor could feel their unusualness, and the servants were pale, pushing each other, no matter how Wang Dagui called, they didn't dare to step forward.

The Black Armor is still moving forward.

Their huge bodies were like mountains, covering the already dark sky, and huge shadows shrouded the people.

Iron boots made of black iron are incomparably heavy. The muffled sound of each step was like thunder striking on everyone's eardrums.

Clang.

Their arms shook at that moment, and with the sound of gold and stone clashing, the scimitar fell out of the iron armor and was held in his hand.

The cold light refracted by the scimitar was colder than snow.

"Daddy! Uncle! Hurry up, it's none of your business! Chu Qingxiao had seen the cruelty of these black armors, his face changed greatly, and he said to Chu Yueshan and Sun Kuan at that time.

Bang dang!

But what responded was the sound of Chu Yueshan pulling out his sword, and the middle-aged man, who was already a little fat, turned pale, but said in his mouth: "Let your mother's bullshit!" ”

"How can there be a reason for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, if you want to die, little rabbit cub, you have to die behind Lao Tzu!"

Sun Kuan rarely agreed with Chu Yueshan's point of view: "Big nephew, your father is right, you just caused a catastrophe, and if you want to kill you, you have to cross over the two of us!" ”

And Wang Dagui also stood up to protect his son with his round belly, and said with relief: "Son, don't worry, I have sent a lot of things to the county order, he should ......"

"It shouldn't be too desperate, let's not resist later, even if you go in, Dad will be able to save you even if he runs out of property."

When Wang Che heard this, he cried and mourned: "Dad! You still don't understand, they are really candle yin, once arrested, we have only a dead end! ”

At this time, all kinds of beings are fully revealed.

Zhu Quan stared at the people in front of him, and the banter in his sunken eye sockets almost overflowed.

"This trip is only to punish the culprit, you must not make mistakes!"

He said this in a hoarse voice, a sickly look of excitement welling up on his thin face.

His gaze swept over everyone, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but finally fell on Chu Zhaozhao's body.

When the black armor heard this, if they had received the edict, the scimitars in their hands were raised high, ready to attack.

"I'm just giving you three breaths."

"Three!"

……

"One person does the same thing."

"This matter started with me, I'll drag them down, you find a chance to escape!" Just when everyone's expressions were tense, Chu Zhaozhao's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Chu Zhaozhao.

But I saw the girl's gaze resolute.

"Miss Chu, you ......" Chu Qingxiao wanted to say something.

"Shut up!" Chu Zhaozhao interrupted Chu Qingxiao's words.

"Two!" Zhu Quan's countdown continued, and his eyes were always fixed on everyone present, as if he was expecting this.

Chu Zhaozhao looked directly into Chu Qingxiao's eyes and continued: "Chu Qingxiao, you remember, you have to believe in yourself. ”

"You have to get out of Wuling City!!"

"Even if it's been a vicissitude!"

"But there's still Uncle Xiao waiting for you!"

"You don't want her to marry a bastard, do you?"

As if he was explaining his last words, Chu Zhaozhao spoke quickly and finished speaking.

She didn't give Chu Qingxiao a chance to react at all, one foot suddenly stepped forward, and her figure jumped high at that time, heading straight for the black armor in front of her.

Zhu Quan's eyes narrowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse.

"One." He whispered in a hoarse voice.

The scimitars in the hands of the black armor shone with a silvery light, and at this moment, they stomped on the ground with both feet almost at the same time, and their bodies jumped suddenly.

Dozens of black armor, armed with scimitars, rushed with all their strength, jumped into the air, and killed Chu Zhaozhao from all directions, sealing all her ways of advance and retreat.

As for Chu Qingxiao and the others on the side, they didn't even assign any black armor to contain them, but used everyone to deal with Chu Zhaozhao, whose strength was actually strictly calculated, and even a black armor was not an opponent.

Chu Qingxiao caught a glimpse of this scene, and he suddenly seemed to realize something......

From the Zhu family compound, to the downtown of Wuling, and then to the peach blossom study at the moment.

It seems that from beginning to end, the target of the black armor is only Chu Zhaozhao.

The only person they wanted to kill was Chu Zhaozhao.

But why?

Why did Candle Yin have to kill Chu Zhaozhao?

She was just an outsider, and she knew far less about everything that happened in Wuling City than Chu Qingxiao.

Her strength is not very strong, and even a black armor seems difficult to deal with.

Can......

Tianhang Mountain sent a disciple like her to come to such a dangerous realm alone......

More and more information poured into Chu Qingxiao's mind.

Countless questions swirled through his mind.

His brain hurt as if it was about to explode.

At this time, the black armor had already rushed to Chu Zhaozhao's side, and the two sides were about to fight each other.

Chu Zhaozhao, who was alone, faced with such a large number of black armor, it was tantamount to using his mantis arm as a car.

Zheng!

And at this moment, a crisp sound suddenly sounded beside Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and was pulled out of the complicated thoughts.

He subconsciously searched for the direction where the voice came from, but found that it was the long sword in his father's hand that was trembling violently.

"Daddy...... Are you so scared? "It's a bit out of place, though.

But Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but subconsciously ask at this time.

When Chu Yueshan, who was nervous, heard this, he also realized the abnormality of the long sword in his hand again.

He was about to say something.

Zheng!

But listening to the sword in his hand, there was a crisp sword sound at this moment.

Before he could react, the sword seemed to be summoned and came out of his hand.

At that moment, it seemed to turn into a silver snake and surged towards the black armor.

It shuttles back and forth at such a speed that it is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

And where the silver light passed, black blood and black armor poured out from behind the shattered armor, and one mask after another was cut by the silver light.

Losing the control of the mask, the black armor suddenly turned painful, and one by one fell to the ground and wailed.

However, in the blink of an eye, dozens of menacing black armor all fell to the ground.

The long sword completed its mission, and at this moment, it hovered in front of Chu Zhaozhao, and the sword body was still trembling slightly.

Chu Zhaozhao, who had already made it clear that he was determined to die, was stunned in place, obviously not having recovered from the aftermath of this sudden catastrophe.

Chu Qingxiao was also frightened, he looked at his father with an incredible expression, and muttered, "It turns out that my father ...... You're really not bragging, you're really a master......"

Sun Kuan's face on the side was also pale, and he seemed to be thinking about how to apologize to his brother-in-law for his countless insulting remarks.

But as the person concerned, Chu Yueshan's eyes also widened, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion about all this.

Only the face of the old man named Zhu Quan changed suddenly, and there was no longer any hint of the previous banter.

He turned his head as if he felt something, and looked out of the study.

There, a shirtless man was walking slowly.

The man was in his early forties, with a resolute countenance, and his black hair was scattered and draped.

On the body, there are black tattoos like poisonous snakes, weird and hideous.

There was a fierce light in his eyes, wrapped in what seemed to be endless anger.

He was surrounded by a surging murderous machine, like a demon crawling out of hell.

One of his hands was raised, and the long sword hovering in front of Chu Zhaozhao trembled slightly, turned into silver light, and flew into the man's hand.

At that moment, the Heavenly Sword Intent poured out from the man's body.

He also looked at Zhu Quan, and the fierce light in his eyes was like a fire.

His steps increased suddenly, and his speed was only increased to the extreme in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Zhu Quan's side.

The long sword in his hand roared like a dragon, and the surging sword intent and killing intent converged on the sword body.

The wind and snow were stirred and poured into the sky.

He roared angrily.

"Xizhou, Song Guicheng."

"For eight thousand swords and armor, take the life of your dog."
