There are more than 20 city defense troops, and the guards brought by Xiao Jiu in front are only six or seven people, and they are surrounded by groups at once, and the swords of the city defense army are all brushed and unveiled, and the unique and powerful stainless steel armor-piercing crossbow arrows, iron chains and shackles rattle, Xiao Jiu is almost completely stupid, and he can't react at all, at this time a slow voice sounded: "Xiao Lizi, why are you here?"

The strong man of the iron tower was stunned for a moment, and the besieged guards immediately relaxed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face that was not angry and arrogant, and he hurriedly walked a few steps and said: "Yo, isn't this the eighth uncle, why did you come here?"

The eighth uncle said: "Someone broke into the Xiaoyao family at night tonight, and I came to track down and take people on the order of the head of the family, what happened to you?"

Li Youde slapped his face: "Coincidentally, Eighth Uncle, I was ordered to come to arrest the thief, maybe we are chasing a group of people, but... Look, Uncle Eight, your subordinates killed two of my subordinates indiscriminately on the spot, this..."

"That's it..."The eighth uncle looked shocked and regretful, and sighed: "It's really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple, don't worry, I will personally explain this matter to the city lord, and the other two soldiers who were killed by mistake, the pension will be taken care of by my Xiaoyao family, and it will be doubled." ”

"It's... But I still have to thank Uncle Eighth for the two dead brothers. Li Youde hugged his fists: "There is still military affairs in the next place, so I won't delay the time of the eighth uncle and say goodbye." ”

Said to leave, without the slightest hesitation, the guards looked a little uncomfortable, Xiao Jiu frowned and said: "Eighth uncle, how could the city defense army appear here at this time period? I don't think it's quite right!"

The eighth uncle looked at Li Youde's back as he gradually moved away, let out a cold snort in his snort, and finally waved his hand: "Withdraw!"

The matter has come to this, no matter what the process is and what the result is, everyone including Xiao Jiu did not dare to have any more objections, and went home in despair.

In fact, everyone also understands that no matter why the city defense army appears here, they are all at a loss at this time, and it is not good to act rashly before they tear their faces, after all, there must be a bottom limit, even if it is just a squadron leader of the city defense army, it still represents the strength of the city defense army and the face of the city lord.

But is this the end of it?

At the moment of leaving Nancheng, the eighth uncle turned back coldly, and the little bell was free, how could it not represent his face?

But why did the city defense army appear here?

In fact, when Duan Qing and the three of them separated, he found the intestines, asked about the situation of the city defense army, and then broke into the squadron leader's duty room overnight, and directly reported that he was attacked by mountain bandits and suffered heavy losses.

"Mountain bandits?" Li Youde asked at the time.

Duan Qing replied categorically: "That's true." ”

Li Youde looked embarrassed and said: "This matter must be managed, but the large army has gone to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt giant beasts and collect materials, I am afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength!"

Duan Qing said that there were not many people, as long as they represented the strength of the city defense army, how could Li Youde not hear the problem, but still asked, "Is it really a mountain bandit?"

"You can think of it as yes. When Duan Qing spoke, he found out most of his net worth, a full 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, Li Youde was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry smile: "You are really direct enough... I like it though. ”

There are still hundreds in the barracks, and they only counted thirty people, and went directly to ambush them, in fact, as long as 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, Li Youde was already tempted enough, and his squadron leader's annual income was only 10,000 yuan.

A conflict ensued.

At this moment, even if two people were killed in battle, Li Youde was still quite satisfied in his heart, he had gained, and the brother who died in the war obtained a wealth for his family that he could not obtain in his life, and he died well, when he walked to the corner, he saw the young man who was waiting, and said expressionlessly: "You are like this... It's hard for me to do it!"

"Just save your life. Duan Qing said indifferently, took out a small storage bag, put it in Li Youde's hand, and said: "In the middle of the night, I can't let the brothers work in vain, my conditions are also limited, and I should thank the brothers for their help." ”

"How embarrassing... Then I'll take it for my brothers. Li Youde said that he was embarrassed, but he quickly put the storage bag into his pocket, and a smile appeared on his face, and when he said goodbye and turned around to leave, he turned around and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's not that my brother said you, the power of the Xiaoyao family is not something you and I can fight, hurry up and find a way to add which hall, if not, just leave." ”

After speaking, he patted Duan Qing on the shoulder, and left without looking back, Duan Qing knew in his heart that if there were no 10,000 spirit stones, this admonition would definitely be ignored.

Just looking at Li Youde's back and the corpse carried by the soldiers, Duan Qing suddenly felt very sad, "This world... But that's it. ”

......

In the next few days, Duan Qing repaired the small building, the person is a distant relative introduced by the intestines, nicknamed the fly, is a fourfold monk in the Jindan period, because he did not have the opportunity to enter the sect, and was unwilling to do miscellaneous labor, he followed a master to learn the carpenter's craft, although it is not as good as the refiner, but it is also an indispensable type of work, these years are not bad, and a lot of money has been made, but they are all ordinary gold and silver, and it is difficult to earn spirit stones for this kind of work.

Duan Qing was relatively speechless about their brother's nickname, and later asked about it during a casual chat at dinner, when the five big and three thick flies grabbed the caliper head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Because my name is... Shi Shangfei. ”

"Ah..."Duan Qing suddenly felt a little abrupt: "The name of that intestine must be Shi Yuan." ”

"Hmm. Shi Shangfei bared his teeth and smiled, a mouthful of white and neat teeth did not match his simple image at all.

"You guys are really brothers. What else could Duan Qing say, he could only give a thumbs up.

After repairing the house and courtyard wall in five days, even if Shi Shangfei completed the task, Duan Qing paid five hundred top-grade spirit stones, which made this large fly excited, and said that he would have to make efforts if he had the opportunity in the future, Duan Qing just waved his hand, because the calm of the past few days made him feel a little unusual, even Lan Hongyuan was listless when he came over, and it seemed that he hadn't rested well for a few days.

On the sixth day, Duan Qing received a message from the Monks' Guild that there was a task with a reward of 80,000 top-grade spirit stones, and he felt in his pocket, and there were only 3,000 pieces left, although this was still a lot of money, but for the monks, these money were just the price of a few pills or a few stacks of rune paper.

So, Duan Qing packed his bags and equipment and walked to the guild on foot.

The afternoon sun was still a little strong, making people lazy, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, Duan Qing walked through the exclusive passage for silver-level members, nodded and greeted the two waiters as usual, and entered the guild.

The door slowly closed behind Duan Qing, and there was a "click" sound of the door lock closing, and the two waiters looked at each other and exchanged heads: "Do you think he will really die inside?"

"He offended the Xiaoyao family, and the director said that anyone who dares to offend the family and the hall will have to bear the consequences!"

"I heard that he explored the secret realm alone, and it was a pity that no one in the guild had been able to complete it for many years. ”

"After all, it's just a casual practice..."

......

In the special passage for silver members, the echo of Duan Qing's walking lingered in his ears, as if he was lonely with a capital letter, setting off his unusually thinness, making people feel that he was not the only one left in the whole world, but that he was facing the whole world alone.

At the end of the passage, there is still a long corridor, there are conference rooms, lounges, and VIP rooms on both sides, Duan Qing once rested in it, it was a special treatment after completing the task, and it was quite familiar, but he didn't go straight there, but at the end of the passage, his back suddenly stuck to the wall, and he performed the gecko swimming wall, and the whole person disappeared directly into the passage, and the sound of his walking still echoed in the passage.

"Huh!"

A white mang suddenly flickered and fell, followed by a sturdy figure, slightly staggering to stop the figure, the white mang revealed its true face, but it was a ghost head knife with a thickness of one inch, the ghost head with a big fist at the end was extremely hideous, and there were two red gems inlaid in the eyes, exuding a strange red luster, flowing into the knife body from time to time, showing that this was still a magic weapon.

A knife missed, so that the strong man was slightly surprised, but he couldn't see half a figure, there were still footsteps echoing in the corridor, ringing in the ears, from far to near, there was no problem, but I couldn't see the figure left and right, and there was no abnormal breath in the five senses, what about people?

He was suddenly alert, and turned back suddenly, but only saw a white light flashing by, his heart suddenly jumped, and he instinctively waved the ghost head knife to slash at the light, but the big knife was only half raised and fell, and a cross-sectional wound on the neck suddenly spurted out a large canopy of blood, and his hands hurriedly covered the wound, but the blood spurted out of his fingers, and his throat made a gurgling sound, and the whole person fell straight to the ground, and a blood fountain formed around his body in an instant.

Duan Qing appeared beside the corpse with an indifferent expression, and the dagger cut the entire neck to determine that this person's life was completely over, and then he slowly got up and looked at the entire corridor, still very quiet, but he didn't know what the reason was, his five senses ability was compressed to only three zhang away from his body, so that he couldn't be sure if there would be a follow-up attack.

Because this strong man's clothes have a special emblem, a sword and a sword crossed under the skull.

"Is it finally happening?"

Duan Qing's expression, indifferent and still like a lone wolf, walked towards the corridor.

He didn't have a choice.
