Chapter 158: Which Truth?

In the end, the casualties were counted, and more than 40 people were killed in the battle on the side of the Floating Cloud Sect, and most of the remaining 50 people were injured.

Everyone in the Floating Cloud Sect grieved for a while, and then returned to normal.

To be precise, the faces of the rest of the people are even more resolute.

Because more than 100 of them almost killed more than 200 people in the Quicksand Gate, and no more than ten people escaped in the end.

The main thing is that the five masters of the quicksand gate have all died here, compared to the deaths and injuries of the quicksand gate, their side is already a big victory.

They knew that the Floating Cloud Sect would give the bereavement to their families for those who died on their side, which was one of the reasons why they were not afraid of death.

The two girls returned to Lin Xiqi's side, their little faces flushed with excitement.

"How do you feel?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"My lord, the slave feels that the swordsmanship is more comfortable. Su Qingmei said a little excitedly.

"If you meet any master in the future, the slave and maid will not be afraid. Su Qinglan said.

Killing He Tong made her confidence soar.

The convoy hit the road again, and soon arrived at a place twenty miles away from Dunhuang City, and sure enough, he saw the men and horses of the Chiyan faction.

"I've been waiting for a long time in Xia Qinshu. Qin Shu stepped forward and said.

Seeing that everyone in the Floating Cloud Sect was injured, his face changed again: "Did it happen to someone from the Quicksand Sect?"

"Who else would dare to attack our idea besides the people of the Quicksand Gate?" Renyue said lightly.

Although he knew that the Chiyan Sect was now pressed by the quicksand gate and it was difficult to come out of Dunhuang City, Ren Yue was still a little angry in his heart.

After all, they had already taken a huge risk when they came over to give a dowry, and in addition to being their senior brother, to a certain extent, it was also to tell the other sects in Dunhuang County that their Fuyun Sect supported the Chiyan Sect and gave the Chiyan Sect a strong momentum.

The Floating Cloud Sect had paid a lot of price, couldn't their Red Flame Sect take the risk of taking some extra steps to meet it?

"During this time, our Red Flame Sect and the Quicksand Sect have been fighting constantly, and our disciples have suffered a lot of injuries, so please forgive me. Qin Shu apologized.

"We also understand your faction's situation. Renfeng said, "This time was generally smooth. ”

"Please!"

The people of the Fuyun Sect followed the people of Dunhuang City into the city.

Regarding Lin Xiqi's identity, Renfeng explained a little.

For the people in the court, Qin Shu didn't say much.

If it were other people in the rivers and lakes, Dunhuang City would be almost under martial law now.

Because Lin Xiqi had a good relationship with the Floating Cloud Sect, and their Chiyan Party still trusted the Floating Cloud Sect, they didn't embarrass Lin Xiqi.

Of course, Lin Xiqi's identity as a county is not easy for the Chiyan faction to stop.

After all, they don't want a big conflict with the imperial court now.

After entering the city, Lin Xiqi separated from Renfeng and them.

The purpose of his coming here was to go to the county guard's mansion, and as for the marriage between the Floating Cloud Sect and the Red Yan Sect, it was not good for him to blatantly interfere with it in his current status.

Lin Xiqi went directly to the official residence of the county guard to entertain the counties that came over, and then waited here for the summons of the county guard.

"Your Excellency, here you are, the room has been cleaned up. Chen Changjie was waiting in front of the door of the reception residence, and when he saw Lin Xiqi coming, he hurriedly came up and shouted.

When Lin Xiqi went to the Floating Cloud Sect, Chen Changjie came to Dunhuang City first, and first took care of Lin Xiqi in the county guard's mansion.

"Yo he, is this Lord Lin of Sandao County?" Suddenly, a slightly yin and yang strange voice sounded, "Everyone, come and take a look, which of you has seen this colleague of ours?"

Lin Xiqi couldn't help but look at the door, only to see a man in his forties coming out of it.

This man was wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, and he was obviously also a magistrate.

However, Lin Xiqi didn't think that he, and he hadn't seen other counties in Dunhuang City.

"My lord, he is Guan Zhimiao, the magistrate of Ming'an County. Chen Changjie introduced Lin Xiqi in a low voice.

"Oh, it's Lord Guan next door to us. Lin Xiqi nodded slightly.

Shen'an County and Sandao County are adjacent to each other, and when the Fuyun Sect exterminated Wang Long's three bandits, the three fierce mountains actually belonged to the rule of Ming'an County.

Guan Zhimiao is a little yin and yang now, Lin Xiqi can understand in his heart, after all, he has crossed the line.

When Guan Zhimiao's words fell, four more people came out behind him who were also wearing the county magistrate's mansion, among the four people, one of them looked to be in his thirties, and the other three were all older, looking like they were in their fifties.

"Liang Mo, the magistrate of Xiaogu County, Shi Zhuxi, the magistrate of Yuanquan County, Dong Qiao, the magistrate of Guangzhi County, and Hao Feng, the magistrate of Longle County. Chen Changjie continued to whisper to Lin Xiqi.

Liang Mo, Shi Zhuxi and Dong Qiao are all in their fifties, and Hao Feng is the youngest in his thirties.

"I didn't expect you to be there, the little brother is polite. Lin Xiqi smiled.

He didn't expect that in addition to himself, the other magistrates were here, and there was also a Dunhuang county magistrate in Dunhuang City.

Speaking of which, the county guard doesn't seem to have informed itself.

It can be seen that the county guard does not care about himself at all.

This time I came by myself, and I don't know what happened, it seems that I caught up.

Several people glanced at Lin Xiqi, they had all heard that the magistrate of Sandao County was very young, but now it seemed that he was a hairy boy at all.

Thinking that they are forty or fifty years old, they are still a magistrate, and they are on an equal footing with Lin Xiqi, and they are a little unfair in their hearts.

Even if it is Hao Feng, he is in his thirties, and he is a serious Jinshi background.

still despises people like Lin Xiqi in his heart.

If it is uneven, they also know that Lin Xiqi's official position was exchanged for a million taels of silver, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"I heard that Lord Lin recently exterminated the Wang family in Sandao County, and it seems that he has gained a lot, which is really gratifying. Guan Zhimiao said.

"Lord Guan is really well-informed, the Wang family is rampant in Sandao County, colluding with bandits to loot past businesses, and it is heinous. Lin Xiqi said with a smile, "This time, the younger brother came here to report this matter to the county guard, I don't know why the adults came?"

"Hmph!" Guan Zhimiao snorted coldly, "Lord Lin, I can't control your bandits, and I don't care about punishing the bullies in the county, but what kind of reason is that when you enter my Xiaogu County to suppress bandits?"

"Is it?" Lin Xiqi said with a puzzled expression, "Lord Guan, is there such a thing?"

"You still pretend to be garlic?" Guan Zhimiao said, "Isn't the Three Fierce Mountains under the jurisdiction of my Xiaogu County?"

"Master Chen, is that so?" Lin Xiqi asked Chen Changjie on the side in surprise.

"This~~" Chen Changjie hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that Wang is eager to catch the murderer, and it may be a little too much." Moreover, this matter is also led by the Fuyun Sect, and the people of the Fuyun Sect want to find the people of the Three Fierce Mountains, and the officials of our county government can't stop it. ”

"Ridiculous, confused!" Lin Xiqi shouted, "How can this be true, then did Wang Dong eat the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard?

Chen Changjie hunched over and didn't dare to answer again.
