Qi An sat down next to Li Liuxian's corpse, his eyelids drooped so that there was only a slit left, almost everyone thought that he was about to die, or that he was already dead, but Qi An turned over and stood up again, his two black eyes swept around the officers and soldiers who were in strict formation, and said weakly: "The bandits have captured the women in our village, please rescue them." ”

The leader of the officers and soldiers waved his hand, and his subordinates were divided into several teams, and they searched the entire Liuxian Village in an orderly manner, and soon rescued a large group of women, all of whom were nearby villagers, and the captured Ah Fen, Xiao Yun, and Niuniu were among them, seeing that they were safe and sound, Qi An's bloodstained little face finally showed a relieved smile.

"Anzi, why are you here?"

The sharp-eyed Xiao Yun actually recognized Qi An at a glance, ran over in a panic and hugged him in his arms, and kept wiping the blood on his face with his sleeve.

Ah Fen and Niuniu also rushed over, Niuniu was only eleven years old, younger than Qi An, and when she saw that Qi An was covered in blood and was about to die, she cried so much that her tears couldn't stop falling. The eldest Ah Fen seemed very calm, and he didn't care about crying, so he quickly tore the strip of cloth to bandage Qi An's wounds.

In fact, Qi An's injuries seem to be heavy, but there is no fear of life, the bleeding has already stopped, even if it is not bandaged, it doesn't matter, with the passage of time, it will eventually heal.

This is the most terrifying place in Qi'an, with its powerful vitality and unparalleled self-healing ability.

The leader of the officers and soldiers walked to Qi 'an and asked loudly: "I am Zhao Song, the county lieutenant of Pingyang County, and I was ordered to clear out the bandits in Liuxian Village, and who are you?"

Qi An replied: "My name is Qi An, I am a native of Zhenxi Village, fifty miles away, because the village was ransacked by bandits yesterday, and several people were taken away, and I came to kill the thieves and save people. ”

Zhao Song is a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing, about fifty years old, with a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, but he has a strong physique, imposing and impressive, obviously also a martial artist, he glanced at Li Liuxian's corpse, smiled and praised: "You are very good, you have reached the innate realm at such an age, and you can even kill Li Liuxian, you are really a hero out of a young man!"

A slight smile squeezed out of Qi An's slightly pale face: "Lord Zhao has won the prize, this bandit leader is extremely powerful, I am not his opponent, I can kill this person, it is completely by luck!"

"You don't have to be modest, luck is also part of strength!" Zhao Song smiled, obviously not believing that luck alone could kill the famous Li Liuxian, maybe there was really an element of luck, but cultivation strength was definitely the most important factor.

Qi An didn't have the heart to argue, so he changed the topic with a slight smile: "Now that the thieves are ambushed, I have rescued the villagers, so I will take my leave first and return to the village as soon as possible, so as not to worry them." ”

Zhao Song frowned: "But you hurt ......"

"It's okay! I can't die!" Qi An replied categorically, and with the support of a few crying little girls, he walked slowly down the mountain.

Zhao Song looked at his back silently, and shouted loudly after a while: "Little brother Qi, Zhao respects you as a hero, if you have the opportunity, please be sure to come to Pingyang County to gather, I will feel extremely gratified!"

Qi An turned his head and waved his hand and smiled, and without saying a word, he went away.

Not to mention that the officers and soldiers scolded the prisoners and looted the cottage property, but only said that the four of them in Qi'an, a mere fifty miles of mountain roads, did not take half an hour to come, but it took three or four hours to return, and by the time they returned to Qixi Village, night had already fallen.

In fact, it didn't take long for Qi An's injuries to heal, and the terrifying wound had healed, almost affecting his movements, but in order not to let people discover the strangeness of his physique, he deliberately pretended to be seriously injured and difficult to heal, walking slowly, walking and stopping.

Ah Fen and Xiao Yun supported him left and right, while Niuniu trotted all the way back to Qianxi Village first, on the one hand, to report safety, so as not to worry the villagers, and on the other hand, to notify the villagers to come and respond.

After Erniu and Huwa heard the news of Qi An's serious injury, they hurriedly put on an ox cart and hurried towards Qingliang Mountain, and finally met halfway and used the ox cart to pick up the injured Qi An.

Lying on the rough and simple stone couch of his home, Qi An roughly recounted the experience of breaking into the mountains and killing thieves, many dangers were not mentioned, but only a word, but the excited villagers listened to them with relish.

The martial arts style in Qianxi Village is not flourishing, except for a few hunters in the village, the vast majority of them are ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts, they don't know that martial artists have a realm division, and they don't know how strong the thieves in Liuxian Village are, they only know that the father of the Qi family kid is very, very powerful, a sword is cut out, and more than a dozen heads fall to the ground in an instant, and the Qi family kid has his father's true inheritance, it must be very powerful, it should not be difficult to eliminate a gang of bandits, the only regret is that Qi An was seriously injured.

When the villagers dispersed, they went home, leaving only Aunt Wang and Uncle Ping next door to take care of them. Uncle Ping took off Qi An's bloody clothes and put on clean clothes, while Aunt Wang was busy lighting a fire and cooking supper for Qi An, and the two were very busy.

Qi An, who had been wandering outside for a long time, finally felt the warmth of his long-lost relatives, and couldn't help but miss his father even more, and muttered: "Father, where have you been?"

According to the villagers, not long after Qi Anqiao's house, Qi Shaoshan quietly left Qixi Village, no one knew where he went, and he didn't leave any clues at all.

However, for his father's safety, Qi An is not too worried, after all, although his father's mental state is not good, his strength is unfathomable, plus he is low-key, and he will not easily cause trouble, unless he is crazy, he will make some amazing moves, but once Qi Shaoshan turns on the crazy mode, his strength will skyrocket a lot, it is really a person who blocks killing, and God blocks and destroys God, it is difficult to meet opponents.

Qi An pretended to recuperate from his injuries, lived in Qixi Village for more than a month, secretly went out several times, searched all the nearby inaccessible peaks and valleys, and still found no trace of his father.

In the past, when Qi Shaoshan was ill, it was possible to run around, but once he regained consciousness, he would immediately return to Jianxi Village, and it was only a few days before and after, and he never disappeared directly like this for nearly a year, which seemed very bizarre.

During this time, Qi An had nothing to do except concentrate on cultivation, but because of the influence of the dark blue flames in the dantian, his entry was very slow, which made him extremely annoyed.

On this day, someone from Qi An's family came to the door, it turned out to be the envoy of Pingyang County, and on the order of Zhao Song, the county governor, he invited Qi An to Pingyang County to get together, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Qi An happily agreed, took out a part of the money obtained from the search for corpses in the past year, divided it equally among the villagers, explained it to a few friends in the village, and left a note for his father at home, and set out on the road to Pingyang County with the envoy.

The messenger came on horseback, and Qi An could not ride a horse, so he sat behind the messenger, and the messenger rode him eastward.

It is more than 300 miles away from Pingyang County, and in some places the mountain roads are rugged, and it takes half a day to reach the city gate because of the weight of two people.

In the Daqian Dynasty, the geographical division from large to small was state, county, county, town, and village, and the town and village had neither the imperial court garrison nor the protection of the tall city wall, so there was no government agency, only fences and fences, as well as militia and some private armed forces, and the population and land occupation were much smaller than those of the county and county seats.

The big cities are counties, and the small cities are counties, with both tall and majestic city walls and regular army garrisons and patrols, and the degree of prosperity and personnel density is far greater than that of villages and towns.

Pingyang County is a remote and small county, the size of the county seat is also very small, the garrison is only 500 people, the magistrate is the county lieutenant Zhao Song, is the second-in-command of the entire Pingyang County, and the county commander in charge of political affairs is on it.

Under the military system of the Great Cadres, regular soldiers must have at least the level of a samurai; 10 people are a small team, and the leader is called a soldier commander, who must be a martial master; 100 people are a squadron, and the commander is the captain, and must have the strength of a martial artist; 1,000 people are a large team, and the commander is called a commander, and he is a monk who has broken through the realm of martial artists; and 10,000 people are an army, and the supreme commander is a general, and his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary monks.

In addition to the commander, the captain, commander, and general all have three positions: one chief, two lieutenants. Take Pingyang County as an example, the garrison of 500 is the strength of five squadrons, and each squadron has a captain and two deputy captains. Zhao Song is one of the five captains, and he commands a team of 100 sergeants, but he also has the official position of a county lieutenant, so he is one rank higher than the other four captains.

Under the guidance of the envoy, Qi An soon came to a mansion through the city gate, which was the residence of the county governor Zhao Song, and the two domestic servants guarding the door had obviously been notified and led Qi An straight to the hall in the courtyard.

A banquet was being held in the hall, and in addition to Zhao Song, who was located at the head of the main seat, there were more than ten guests, most of whom were carrying weapons and wearing standard iron armor, obviously garrison officers.

When Zhao Song saw Qi An coming in, he immediately stood up from his seat and laughed: "You can count the little hero here!"

Subsequently, Zhao Song asked Qi An to sit beside him, and introduced everyone to him at the banquet, most of them were garrison officers in Pingyang County, either the captain or the deputy captain, and the remaining few were dressed in fancy clothes and civilian clothes, and they were all wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Pingyang County.
