Chapter 65 Daylight
By the time the money was out, the rain had stopped.
Yang Xiaoyang returned to the inn and found that everyone was still in his room, and Xiao Di's food had not been eaten yet.
Yang Xiaoyang sat down and asked a question, "Are there still corrupt officials now?"
Li Congwen pouted, "How can it not be?" It's just that it's hard to mix with corrupt officials now. There is a royal history platform in the court, and there are city patrol divisions in various places, and there are not many people who dare to be greedy. ”
Yang Xiaoyang suddenly realized that he didn't know much about Ming Wu, and then asked, "Then there are officials who fish and eat the people and do unrighteous things?"
"Of course there are, but I guess it's just one or two, and the others should have lost their heads.
In fact, my nobles have long known that offending the common people will not benefit them at all.
In that case, they would not allow such a thing to happen in their fiefdoms. Although Xungui now has no jurisdiction over the fiefdom, the local officials do not dare to ignore the nobles, and must also consider the interests of Xungui.
What's more, many local officials are in the same boat as the nobles, and over time, there will be no officials who are willing to fish the people, and he won't do it if you force him. I'm in the mood right now!"
Yang Xiaoyang nodded when he heard this, and slammed the table, "Okay, let's go and steal the money so that there is only a pair of pants left!"
Xiao Di was taken aback by Yang Xiaoyang's beat, and the sugar gourd that had just reached her mouth didn't bite and fell to the ground, which made Xiao Di feel distressed for a while, and then glared at Yang Xiaoyang fiercely.
......
Qian Quan was very dissatisfied with the eight guards his father arranged for him.
Those eight people were all muscular big men, and they were surrounded in the middle like a chicken, which made him feel very shameless.
It's just that his father said that someone might want to kill him recently, and he must bring more people when he goes out.
Qian Quan should be a little disapproving, don't you think that in broad daylight, there are still people who dare to commit murder on the street?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
Then there was a commotion in front of him, but he was too short to see what was happening.
"Someone has assassinated, protect Childe!" one of the big men shouted.
Qian Quan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the sound was the sound of a crossbow arrow.
Is someone really going to kill me?
Qian Quan couldn't help but tremble, and grabbed the shirt of a big man next to him with his hand.
Then there was the sound of crossbow arrows being shot, which made Qian Quanyao's heart twitch.
"The assassin is over there, split two men to chase after him!" a big man shouted.
Qian Quan saw two big men rushing out behind him, and the guards surrounding him were slightly scattered.
He first ducked behind a large man in terror, then quietly peeked out of his head and looked forward through the gap.
I saw two arrows inserted on the stone road in front of a big man in front of them, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling, which showed the power of this arrow.
Qian Quan was still looking at the two arrows, and heard the guards shouting, "Stop!"
Qian Quan was so frightened by this voice that he shrank back, and looked through the cracks in the human slit.
I saw a man in a night-walking suit walking towards them in the middle of the day, and the man was still holding a large knife that had been unsheathed in his hand.
The cold glow reflected by the reflection of the sun on the big knife was dazzling, and Qian Quan realized that the sun was shining after the rain today.
The man in black heard the big man's shouting, and instead of stopping, he accelerated and rushed towards them.
At this time, the ground was still a little wet, and the man in black's feet stepped on the ground without leaving a trace, because he directly stepped on the stone slab.
When Qian Quan was about to panic, he suddenly felt that he was picked up by the waist and was carried back a lot.
He looked up and saw that it was the guard he had just caught.
The guard led him towards Qian's house, much to Qian Quan's relief, he felt that with so many people blocking the assassins, he must not be in danger.
It's just that he didn't have long to be happy, and an arrow was shot on the road before he met.
Frightened, Qian Quan shrank into the arms of the big man, and hurriedly looked around, but unfortunately he didn't see the person who shot the arrow.
The big man had just taken two steps back when another arrow was shot in the path behind him, and it was clear that the Assassin did not want them to go.
It's just that the big man is a little puzzled, they don't have anything to hide in the road, and it's very simple to shoot people, why shoot on the ground?
Is it possible that you still want to catch it alive? This is too bold, isn't it? Is there any royal law?
On the other side, the man in black rushed towards the five guards and slapped the front one with a knife.
Before the man could draw his blade, he could only dodge, but he underestimated the speed of the man in black, and was slapped in the abdomen with a backhand and flew out.
Two of the remaining four were boxers, and two were with knives, and they had already surrounded the man when he shot the knife.
Two guards with knives stepped forward and slashed at the man in black.
I saw the man in black slam his right foot on the ground, shattering several stone slabs, and rounding the knife towards the two chopping knives.
The two guards had never seen such a domineering sword technique, so they could only close their knives to avoid it.
However, one of them tried to retreat, but was kicked out by the following kick, and it was difficult to stand up for a while.
Seeing this, the remaining three people rushed up, but the man in black ignored the punches and kicks that came at him, and focused on the wild slap with the knife.
The two boxers secretly said that they were looking for death, and they used enough internal force to hit the man in black, but the man in black just trembled, and continued to shoot at the guard like a person who was fine.
The guard dodged again and again, and he was already angry, and he wanted to compete with it, so he slashed down with his sword.
As soon as the two knives touched, the guard sensed an unrivaled force from his hand, and the knife flew to the side, and then he was also slammed out of the knife.
Those two boxers are like ghosts at this time, it stands to reason that with their internal strength, although it is not enough to kill a cow with a few punches, but this person will not resist beating like a cow, right?
Now the man in black in front of them is a cow? It's like a stone, and he didn't react when he hit it, and his fist was still shaken to the core.
The man in black took out the two guards with knives, ignoring the handprints and footprints all over his body, and rushed towards the two boxers with knives.
The two boxers had no intention of fighting again, so they turned around and ran.
However, the man in black was extremely fast, and he was caught up without running two steps, and he was photographed on the side of the road with one person and one knife.
The man in black patted the dust on his body, but he didn't rush to chase the money.
He stood there and thought about it, wiped some blood from the mouths of several guards lying down and put it on his hands, and then applied it to his body and face towels, and then chased after Qian Quan where he was about to escape.
Qian Quanyao's mind was full of the buzzing of arrows at this time, and he was trembling beside the guards standing beside him, hoping that this was a nightmare and that it would pass sooner.
It's just that fantasy is always beautiful, and Qian Quan wants to see a man in black appear in the direction they came.
The man in black was covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of hell.
He exclaimed, resisting the urge to be incontinent, and pointed at the man in black who could still speak: "What the hell are you going to do?
Qian Quan asked the big man next to him to pull out his knife and looked at the person with a solemn face.
The man in black walked very slowly this time, but what made the big man's pupils shrink was that every stone slab he walked slowly cracked, and every step seemed to rise a little more.
Dahan was also a little scared, realizing that this person must have extraordinary martial arts, and he solved the five guards alone.
With this in mind, he decided to take the lead.
He shouted, "Childe, go away!" and rushed forward with his sword.
It's just that Qian Quan didn't dare to leave, he felt that there were assassins with crossbows on all sides.
He guessed that people didn't want his life, and he felt that he might be able to suffer less if he was honest.
The big man slashed at the man in black with all his might, but the man in black just looked up at the knife, and then slapped a palm and imprinted it on the big man's chest.
The big man spat blood, flew to the side, and fainted.
Qian Quan wanted to see that his last support was gone, sat on the ground with weak legs, and shouted: "I will give you as much money as you want, don't hurt me!"
It's just that the man in black continued to walk towards Qian Quan as if he hadn't heard.
The man in black stood still in front of him and raised the knife in his hand, which had not seen a drop of blood.
"Don't you want to kill me? I'll give you as much as you want!" Qian Quan was about to meet the eyes of the man in black, and his eyes were full of teasing.
Qian Quan is about to tremble, could it be that he is just playing with me? Why don't you want to kill me, it's all fake?
The knife in the black-clothed man's hand fell suddenly, Qian Quan wanted to close his eyes and turn his head and dare not look at it again, the wind brought by the knife made his face hurt.
Just when he thought he was going to hit the ground, suddenly there was a dinging sound above his head.
Qian Quan suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to see a severed knife falling in front of his eyes.
"Who?" the man in black shouted, making Qian Quanyao's ears ring.
"It's clear in broad daylight, how dare you do such a vicious thing?
Qian Quan wanted to see a person standing at the corner of the street, it was the man with the broken blade he met in the restaurant before, who was raising his sword and pointing at his side.
He didn't know how to break the big knife, but it seemed that what he said before was not a lie.
Qian Quan seemed to have found hope, and cried: "Childe save me!"
"Don't worry, it's within the reach of chivalrous people like us to pull out a sword to help when the road is uneven!"
Qian Quan wanted to be happy, but saw that the man in black raised the broken big knife and slashed at him.
"Don't be rampant, look at the sword!"
Before Qian Quan could close his eyes, he saw the man in black, who had no one to match before, fly out and spit out a mouthful of blood.
It's a pity that he couldn't keep him, he glanced at Li Congwen resentfully and ran away, without leaving a word of cruelty.
Li Congwen walked quickly to Qian Quanyao's side and helped him up, "Are you okay?"
Qian Quan wanted to look at the face that he felt hateful before, and at this moment he just wanted to hug it and kiss it, "Thank you for saving your life!"
