The phantom looked disdainful, and said lightly: "Those guards from your Great Zhou Capital are just a group of people with wine bags and rice bags, and at this time, they are all drowsy, just afraid that if I swagger in front of them, they will not notice it in the slightest." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Lanzhou Tongzhi's heart instantly cooled, and he frowned and said: "That Qin is thoughtful, how could he send a group of wine bags and rice bags to guard the yamen, they just did this on purpose, wanting you to relax your vigilance!"

Go back quickly, and get out of here, lest anyone find you......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the middle-aged Hu people: "The courage of the Zhou people is inevitably too small, a group of waste can make you so afraid......"

At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

“？”

Lanzhou Tongzhi looked at the phantom in front of him, his eyes showed a blank look, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Right now.

The phantom suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke, and at a very fast speed, it retreated through the gaps in the doors and windows.

"This ...... Could it be that someone found out? ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi looked at all this in a daze, his heart completely sank to the valley, and there was only one thought left in his mind: it's over!

Meanwhile.

In the alley outside the yamen.

Left and right, there are guards brought by Ren Pingsheng from the north to guard them.

In front and back of the alley, there are Bai Ping and Murong sitting in town.

And Ren Pingsheng stepped on the Hongming knife, standing in mid-air, looking down condescendingly at the middle-aged Hu man in fur, blonde hair and blue eyes, and said coldly: "I advise you to be captured, and you can still leave a small life." ”

Qingyan returns to the body of the middle-aged Hu man.

His consciousness gradually cleared, and when he saw the battle in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, waved his big hand, and issued an order: "Catch him!" ”

"Yes!"

A uniform voice rang out.

Almost at the same moment.

Bai Ping and Murong rushed towards the middle-aged Hu Ren together.

To be precise.

The white screen should be considered a step backwards.

After the competition in Yuanwu Lake.

Both of them have a new understanding of martial arts.

Today, their strength is infinitely close to the fourth grade.

There is only one opportunity left to complete the breakthrough.

Now.

Facing the siege of two five-grade consummate martial artists.

The middle-aged Hu man finally showed a look of unease.

His eyes lit up, and he took something out of his bosom and threw it into the air.

Moment.

Smoke and dust enveloped the space.

Even the eyesight of Wupin Takeo couldn't see clearly what was within a step in front of him.

Including Bai Ping and Murong, everyone stopped.

Right now.

The middle-aged Hu Ren took something out of his arms again and threw it forward.

The strong smell filled the air in the blink of an eye, making people feel the urge to vomit.

Caught off guard.

Even Li Yong couldn't move forward, stopped, and reached out to cover his mouth and nose.

It's just such a momentary effort.

The middle-aged Hu man mobilized the power of qi and blood in his body, his leg muscles tightened, and he jumped up.

Just such a leap directly exceeded the walls on both sides of the alley.

"Want to run?"

Midair.

Ren Pingsheng sneered and slapped his palm.

The majestic aura was like a tide, surging towards the middle-aged Hu man.

"What a strong force!"

The middle-aged Hu people obviously didn't expect to meet a martial artist of Ren Pingsheng's level in this small city.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his face showed a look of surprise, and he instinctively turned sideways, trying to dodge the blow.

The fist wind passed by.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I got out of it.

However......

He wasn't happy for a moment.

Ren Pingsheng slapped dozens of palms again.

Each palm carried an extremely strong force, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

Just a moment.

He was powerless to parry, and was hit by Ren Pingsheng and hit the ground hard.

Ren Pingsheng controlled the Hongming knife, slowly fell, walked up to him, looked down at him condescendingly, and said disdainfully: "I thought I caught a big fish, but it turned out that it was just a five-grade cultivation ......."

This is not a mockery, but a true word.

For this action.

He mobilized a lot of forces to eliminate every Hu person who entered the city and people with suspicious deeds, and finally locked down a group of people who might be related to the Yamen case.

He also ordered the guards to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, which led the man out.

I thought it was very likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes, but I didn't expect it to be otherwise.

"No matter what identity it is, it's always a Hu person, take it back and interrogate it well, and see if you can ask the mastermind behind the scenes."

Thinking so, Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong and ordered, "I'll leave it to you next." ”

Li Yong responded: "Yes, Shizi!" ”

Half an hour later.

In the lobby of the yamen.

Ren Pingsheng sat on the Taishi chair, held the tea cup, and took a sip gently.

Not far away.

Li Yong stood in place and said with a serious face: "Shizi, he has recruited." ”

Ren Pingsheng said casually: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes!"

Li Yong arched his hand and continued: "He said that he was a person from the Northern Ye Kingdom, and he came to Lanzhou to buy armor and weapons on the order of the lord of the country, and after spending a lot of silver up and down, he bought 10,000 weapons and 3,000 pieces of armor from the Tongzhi of Lanzhou, but he has not received the goods yet, so he came to the Tongzhi of Lanzhou to ask for clarification......

The Northern Leaf Kingdom is a small country built on many overseas islands, with about a few hundred thousand people.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes to look at Li Yong and asked, "Can he tell who is behind him?" ”

Li Yong said: "He said he is." ”

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and said, "It's not impossible. ”

An island with only a few hundred thousand people, the Four-Rank Cultivator is already the top combat power.

It is not impossible to send a five-rank monk to be responsible for purchasing weapons and armor.

But.

Just a moment.

Ren Pingsheng thought of another extremely critical question: "How can a five-grade monk quietly kill the three prefects of Lanzhou?" ”

To know.

The prefect of Lanzhou is a five-grade Confucian student, and in terms of actual combat ability, he is only slightly weaker than a five-grade martial artist.

The strength of that Hu man has been seen by himself.

It is not easy for him to defeat the prefect of Lanzhou alone, and it is simply impossible to kill them quietly.

That's it.

A chill flashed in Ren Pingsheng's eyes, and he said, "He didn't tell the truth, and continued to ask." ”

Li Yong did not hesitate at all, and responded: "Yes!" ”

After saluting, turn and leave.

Ren Pingsheng looked at his back, and after thinking for a few seconds, he came to the residence of Tongzhi in Lanzhou.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lanzhou Tongzhi pacing uneasily, and the panic was beyond words.

"As an official of the imperial court, you dare to collude with foreign clans and do such heinous things, Tongzhi Lord, you are really bold!"

Ren Pingsheng stood at the door, looked at Lanzhou Tongzhi with cold eyes, and scolded in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Lanzhou Tongzhi was slightly stunned, and then his expression became even more flustered.

"I ...... I ......"

After a while, he took a deep breath, forcibly calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice: "The lower official has never colluded with foreign clans, let alone betrayed the imperial court. ”

Barbarians?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly stunned, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he still looked as steady as Mount Tai.

I thought that the middle-aged Hu man was from the Northern Ye Kingdom, but now it seems that he is a barbarian from the north.

If that were the case, the nature of the case would be even worse.

After all.

A small overseas country like Beiye Country did not pose a substantial threat to the imperial court.

But the barbarians were the real enemies of the imperial court.

Selling weapons and armor to barbarians is a real betrayal of the court and the people.

After a moment of silence.

Ren Pingsheng spoke again, and his voice was low: "This official is still the same sentence, stubbornly resisting, denying death, there is no point in it, explain truthfully, where are those weapons and armor hidden, why do you want to collude with foreign people, how did the previous governors of Lanzhou die, this official can leave you alive." ”

When the Tongzhi of Lanzhou heard this, he immediately realized that Ren Pingsheng had not yet mastered this information, and his heart instantly calmed down a lot, and he said: "Xiaguan has never colluded with foreign clans. ”

The voice fell.

A sharp flash of light flashed in the room.

Under the edge.

Before he could react to what was happening, an arm fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out, staining his robes red in just a moment.

Intense pain swept in.

Instinctively, he stretched out his other hand to cover his arm, but he didn't know where to start, just hanging in midair.

"You, how dare you do it to me!"

Lanzhou Tongzhi's pupils shrank, and he looked at Ren Pingsheng in disbelief.

In his opinion.

How do you say it, it is also the same knowledge of the dignified house, ranking among the five grades.

Even if Ren Pingsheng is a Qincha, he will not rashly do it to himself without having the evidence.

Who would have thought that as soon as he made a move, he would remove one of his arms.

The other side.

Ren Pingsheng still didn't have any expression on his face, even if he cut off the other party's arm, he was indifferent like crushing an ant: "This official has caught your accomplice, and the news from your mouth can be obtained from him, and he didn't kill you, just because he was an official of the same dynasty, he left you with dignity."

Since you don't want this decency, there is naturally no need for this official to show mercy to his subordinates. ”

The voice fell.

He shot again.

The light of the sword in the sky enveloped the entire room in an instant.

The candlelight flickered wildly, adding tension and excitement to the atmosphere.

Tongzhi has never faced such a scene.

At this moment, my heart is in turmoil and I am at a loss.

After a few breaths, he reacted and wanted to resist.

"The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night."

In the whispered chanting of the Tongzhi of Lanzhou.

A longbow phantom appeared above his head out of thin air.

"Ping Ming is looking for white feathers, not in the stone ridge."

The second verse is pronounced.

An arrow suddenly appeared, shooting at Ren Pingsheng at an extremely fast speed, and the momentum sank.

Even a martial artist with the same cultivation may not be able to parry.

"This is the way of fighting for low-grade Confucian students?"

Ren Pingsheng rarely saw Confucian students participate in battle, his eyes lit up slightly, and he casually waved a knife to cut the phantom of the arrow away.

Standing in place, he looked directly at the Tongzhi of Lanzhou on the other side, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, and he said: "What other means, even if you use it, let the official see how the six Confucian students are fighting." ”

Before that.

He had only seen those two third-grade great Confucian competitions, and as long as he said a casual word, he could change the rules of a small world, and his actual combat ability was not weaker than other cultivation systems.

But how Confucian students below the fourth rank fought, he really didn't know very well.

The other side.

Seeing that his strongest blow was blocked so lightly, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

At this moment, looking at Ren Pingsheng who was interested opposite.

He finally accepted reality.

There is no way for you to escape from the other person's hands.

Thereupon.

He no longer wanted to fight back, just stood in place, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if this official really makes a mistake, he has to escort Jingshi, and the saint and Yousi will convict him, you abuse the lynching, and the official will impeach you to the saint even if he dies!" ”

Ren Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly, and then he threw out a question: "If you are already dead, how can you impeach this official to Your Majesty?" ”

“……”

Hearing this question, Lanzhou Tongzhi was slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Right now.

The sword light in the room suddenly coalesced, turning into a brilliant light, and slashed down at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

In a flash.

Blood gushes like a fountain.

Another arm of Tongzhi was also cut off.

"Ahh

This time, he could no longer bear the sharp pain and wailed loudly.

Ren Pingsheng ignored his wailing, walked up to him, stepped on his arm, and said coldly: "This official will give you one last chance, tell this official what he wants to know, tell this official truthfully, otherwise you can only impeach this official in the next life!" ”

The killing intent was intense, almost condensed into substance.

The pupils of Lanzhou Tongzhi contracted violently, and for the first time in his life, he felt the fear of death.

The strong oppressive force made his brain blank and fell silent.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, he sighed leisurely.

With a casual move, the Hongming knife seemed to have eyes, and it fell straight into his palm.

"In that case, the official can only send you on your way."

Ren Pingsheng's tone was cold, and he raised the Hongming knife in his hand.

Last minute.

Tongzhi finally believed that the Qincha in front of him was not threatening himself, but really wanted to kill himself.

Fear came over him like a tidal wave, and he almost choked.

He finally couldn't hold on and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice: "Don't, don't kill me!" ”

between the electric light and flint.

The Hung Ming Knife froze in place, separated only by a thin strand of hair from his neck.

Tongzhi of Lanzhou was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, his whole body trembled like sifting chaff, and his voice was also trembling: "Those weapons and armor are hidden in Li Xiangxian's Mansion in Li Village outside the city.

As for why they colluded with the barbarians, those barbarians captured the wives and children of the lower officials, and used them to threaten the lower officials, if the lower officials did not listen to them and did things for them, the wives and children of the lower officials would die.

The lower officials are also forced to go astray out of desperation, and ask Lord Qincha for enlightenment......"
