Chapter 9: Leaving No One Behind

At the beginning of the night, in the inspection yamen, the errand people who did not have to be on errands at night, whether they were civil or military, all left early.

There's no way, I've been going home early lately, on the one hand, for the sake of my own life, and on the other hand, I also want to protect the safety of my family after I go back.

After dinner, Zhou Zhou Ming and the other members of the night patrol team gathered in the back hall of the yamen early.

After the others first learned that there was a newcomer named Zhou Ming, they were all very happy, thinking that the night patrol team had a strong newcomer to join.

But when they knew the details of Zhou Zhou Ming, they couldn't be happy, but felt that Zhou Zhou Ming would be a drag, and even began to complain about Xia Dezhang, how could they agree to such a person to enter the night patrol team?

You're too hungry to eat, right?

Xia Dezhang came to the inspection yamen before the night patrol team was about to leave.

Seeing that Zhou Zhou Ming didn't even have a decent weapon in his hand, he immediately asked someone to take him to the treasury and pick a blade to take advantage of.

Although he is not expected to come in handy at a critical moment, standing aside with a weapon in his hand can also play a role in scaring people.

Zhou Ming came to the treasury to take a look, and there were all kinds of weapons inside.

But he didn't know how to use knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, so he picked a long knife and hung it on his body, which looked quite heroic at first glance.

Everything was ready, and the night patrol team, led by Xia Dezhang, set off on patrol.

The task of the night patrol team is actually very simple, that is, to patrol along the main roads in the south of the city at night, prevent fire and theft, and arrest suspicious people found during the inspection.

The patrol time is from dark to dawn, and the night patrol team can also go back to the yamen for a supper.

This was originally a fat job, and before the disappearance occurred, the people in the yamen were scrambling to do it.

"Xia Zhutou, tonight, those remote places, let's not go on patrol, I always have a bad feeling tonight."

Not long after departure, one of the night patrol team shrank his head and said.

The people of the night patrol were originally frightened birds, and when they heard this, they were even more frightened, so they echoed one after another.

"Yes, let's just inspect the avenue."

"In addition to that, we may be able to shorten the time of the round."

"Everyone eats together, so there's no need to play with your life."

Zhou Ming walked at the back of the line, and when he heard the conversation of these seniors, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Sure enough, everyone is here to make a cheap buck.

Although Xia Dezhang also thought so in his heart, he couldn't say that, after all, he was the leader, if he really said frustrating words, how could the team be led?

"Don't talk nonsense, everybody. I believe that those thieves are not so bold and dare to come out to commit crimes in the night.

Even if they dare to come out, my Xia Dezhang's martial arts strength is by no means vegetarian. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

The strength of the martial arts half-pin, is it so confident? Then the strength realm of my three products, can I be able to do it every second?

In the middle of the night, the night patrol team inspected a fork in the road, and suddenly a black carriage appeared, driving from a distance, followed by four people in black veils and dressed in black.

Xia Dezhang remained silent and continued to lead the team forward.

The members of the night patrol were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and some even closed their eyes and turned their heads away, not daring to look at the black carriage.

Zhou Zhou Ming felt a murderous aura and unconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife.

The black carriage and the night watchman drew closer and closer until they met head-on.

Zhou Ming thought that Xia Dezhang would lead the team forward for interrogation, so he planned to intercept the carriage in advance.

But what he didn't expect was that Xia Dezhang lowered his head the moment he met the carriage head-on, led the team to continue to walk forward silently, passing by the carriage, as if the carriage around him didn't exist at all.

When the carriage passed by Zhou Ming, he faintly heard a woman's whimper inside the carriage.

He hurriedly stepped forward and questioned Xia Dezhang: "Xia Zhutou, I heard a woman crying in that carriage, why didn't we come forward to interrogate?" ”

Xia Zhutou hurriedly waved his hand, signaled him not to talk nonsense, and lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, are you trying to kill us?"

Think about it with your head, can you and I afford to mess with the carriage that appeared at this time, and its owner? ”

The members of the night patrol team also complained about Zhou Ming.

"You're a newcomer, don't make trouble."

"It's hard for us shrimp soldiers and crab generals to protect ourselves."

"Little brother, don't be troublesome, isn't it good for him to make a stable money?"

After hearing these words, Zhou Ming felt a wave of nausea, just as he was about to turn around and chase the carriage.

Suddenly there was a loud bang.

A figure flew out of the carriage and fell into the street, motionless.

Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly rushed over to check, picked up the person and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned.

It's Chuniel.

It's the little girl who gave Zhou Ming a cooking cake during the day.

I saw her spitting blood from her mouth, her face was pale, and when she saw Zhou Ming, she showed a desperate expression: "Big brother, my grandmother was killed by them." ”

After saying that, he passed out.

Monday's cold hair stood on end, his blood and qi surged, and the whole person was as angry as if he was about to burst.

Seeing this situation, Xia Dezhang was so frightened that he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to take Zhou Ming away.

The night patrol ran over and reached for Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming shook off the crowd, stood up, and looked at the black carriage.

The carriage had stopped at this time, and four black men were on either side, and the curtain was drawn, and a figure slowly appeared and walked down.

The man was dressed in fine clothes, about thirty years old, and had a wound on his left hand, and blood was flowing.

"What a slut, dare to bite me."

The moment he saw this person, Xia Dezhang fell to his knees with a thud, and kept begging for mercy:

"Lord Yan spares his life, we are just ordered to patrol, and we are definitely not intentionally colliding."

The rest of the night patrol also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Only Zhou Ming stood in place, indifferent, his eyes fixed on the people who got off the carriage.

This person's name is Yan Shikuan, a popular man in front of the Great Chu Emperor, and the son of the adopted son of the eunuch Yan Qiu.

"Why don't you kneel?" Yan Shikuan saw Zhou Ming, who was standing in place, motionless, and asked a little playfully.

"I kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, kneel to my parents in the middle, and never kneel to animals." Zhou Ming said coldly.

"Zhou Ming, kneel down, you're not afraid of death, but don't kill us!" Xia Dezhang roared angrily, for fear that Zhou Ming would cause them to lose their lives.

Zhou Zhou Ming turned his head, looked at his companion and Xia Dezhang who were kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "Do you think that if you ask for mercy, he will let you go?"

We broke his secret, and knowing his identity, he won't leave a single person alive. ”

After hearing this, Xia Dezhang and the others were all frightened, and some of them even wailed.

Yan Shikuan looked at Zhou Ming and said with a smile: "You are a smart person, but unfortunately, smart people generally don't live long." ”

After saying that, he got back into the carriage and waved his hand at the black man beside him: "No one is left." ”

The four black men flashed their sharp blades, lined up, and quickly rushed towards them.

Xia Dezhang and the rest of the night patrol team were still kneeling on the ground, and none of them had the courage to stand up and fight the enemy to the death.

Zhou Ming glanced at Chun Nier who was lying on the ground, slowly pulled out the matching knife, and raised the knife to face the man in black.

Xia Dezhang knelt on the ground, saw this scene through a narrow line of sight, and the whole person was as shocked as if he was hit by five thunderbolts.

A civilian who has never held a knife has the courage to fight to the death in a life-and-death moment, and I am not even as good as a dog in front of this child.

The other members of the Night Patrol were also shocked when they saw this scene, even if they had the courage? Zhou Ming is gone, the difference with us is that he is sending him to death, and we are waiting for death.

The four black-clothed men are all above the martial arts level, so they don't take Zhou Ming, a little servant, into account at all.

A black man raised a knife and slashed at Zhou Ming, thinking that a single knife would kill him.

The other three men in black directly bypassed Zhou Ming and killed Xia Dezhang behind him.

Zhou Ming urged his vitality, raised his knife to block, and directly smashed the sharp blade of the man in black in front of him.

Immediately after that, the knife fell in his hand and sent the man in black back to the west.

Before the other three black-clothed men noticed, Zhou Ming turned around and stabbed him three times, and the knives were bloody.

The knives raised by the three black men stopped in mid-air at the same time, and then fell to the ground, and the dead bodies fell to the ground.

The sound of the fight stopped instantly.

Yan Shikuan thought that his subordinates had killed everyone, and turned around triumphantly, wanting to accept the results.

As a result, the scene in front of him shocked him.

I saw Zhou Ming standing in front of him unscathed, the night patrol team in the distance was still kneeling on the ground, and his black-clothed subordinates had died tragically in a pool of blood.

"How is that possible?" He muttered to himself.

His subordinates are all masters of more than one grade, how could they die in the hands of this little servant.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, a little frightened.

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, and you will ring next Monday." Zhou Ming's eyes were cold, and he said coldly.

Yan Shikuan knew that he was not Zhou Ming's opponent, so in order to survive, he hurriedly spoke: "Brother Zhou, right?" You and your brothers are on night watch, and it's a chore that doesn't work.

Since you all know that my grandfather is strict, then today's incident should not have happened, and I will tell my grandfather when I go back, and let him give each of you a promotion and a knighthood. ”

At this time, Xia Dezhang, who was in the distance, had already woken up from his panic and saw everything that was happening in front of him, unbelievable.

Zhou Ming is so powerful!

Hearing that Yan Shikuan wagged his tail and begged for mercy to Zhou Ming in order to survive, Xia Dezhang was afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would be impulsive and kill Yan Shikuan, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Brother Zhou, don't be impulsive, as long as you leave Lord Yan's life, there is still room for everything to turn around."

The other members of the night patrol team also stood up at this time and pleaded for Yan Shikuan.

"Who said that there was no one left just now?" Zhou Ming turned his head and asked with a sneer, "If I let him go today, all of us will also die, and we will also be connected to the Nine Clans." ”

Xia Dezhang and they thought about it carefully, what Zhou Zhou Ming said made sense.

Yan Qiu is in the court, and he is a traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people, and plays tricks with power, and he will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit.

Today, Zhou Ming released Yan Shikuan, even if Yan Shikuan wanted to keep his promise, Yan begged this old thief to know, he would not let them go.
