Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 44 Martial Law!

city ​​gate.

The team leaving the city lined up for more than two miles.

The men, women and children carrying their families and luggage kept looking around anxiously.

There was a fire last night, and there was a mix of evil and evil.

Then the army came to the city and killed hundreds of evildoers.

The towers were filled with human heads, which was shocking.

When the wind blows, the gurgles keep bumping.

People who knew that the county town was not being treated well rushed out early in the morning with their families and dependents, wanting to get out of the city to avoid trouble.

How long will this take?

Looking eagerly at the team of at least a hundred people in front of him, Qi Xiu sighed with a complicated expression.

Hey, isn’t that the Qian family’s motorcade?

Just as he sighed, Qi Xiu suddenly discovered that the large convoy in front of him was none other than the Qian family.

"Master Jun, let's talk about it. We are not from this city. We are here to visit relatives. Please let us out of the city."

Driving four large carriages, Qian Yuchuan smiled and stretched out his hand, holding a thousand-tael silver note in his hand.

He glanced at Qian Yuchuan expressionlessly.

The soldier wearing armor and holding a sword flicked his thumb, and the half-inch blade was unsheathed.

"The brigade commander has issued an order to close the city under martial law and no one is allowed in or out."

When the inducement failed, Qian Yuchuan was about to say something more, when Jin Tai walked over behind him and took over the conversation with a smile:

"Looking at the Army Master's Type A, he must be from Jixi Military Town. I don't know which army is under the command of the general, Yingwu Army? Tiege Army, or Xifeng Army?"

He glanced at Jin Tai with some surprise, the armored sergeant:

"You know a lot, we are the West Wind Army."

"That's great. My father, Jin Siji, happens to recognize General Han of your army."

Hearing that this army was the West Wind Army, Jin Tai felt relieved and turned his head to give everyone a reassuring look.

"Oh? Does your father recognize General Han?" the armored sergeant looked surprised.

"That's right." Jin Tai smiled brightly.

"Ha, I know him too. Get back here!"

His face suddenly tightened, and the armored sergeant stepped forward with cold eyes. It seemed that if Jin Tai and the others took one more step forward, they would be immediately hacked to death!

"you……"

The corners of his mouth trembled at the morale of the armored soldiers, and Jin Tai deliberately argued a few more words.

But the other armored sergeants on the side all turned their heads and looked over.

The unkind eyes seemed like he would draw his sword in the next second.

After Jin Tai and his party were driven away, the armored sergeant stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"Everyone listen!

Baohe County Magistrate Guo Youfang neglected his duties and violated the law and was executed on the spot!

Starting today, Baohe County will be temporarily taken over by our Xifeng Army.

The brigade commander has ordered that the entire city is under martial law and no entry or exit is allowed!

Anyone who violates the order and flees privately.

Kill without mercy! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

The noisy and noisy discussion instantly set off a wave.

Clang!

The steel sword was unsheathed, and the armored sergeant stepped forward with a cold face, a faint murderous intention slowly spreading.

"If anyone has questions, come out and ask!"

Seeing the dazzling steel sword, everyone immediately stopped and kept silent.

"Also, don't think about building a ladder to climb over the wall unless you can escape its eyes."

With a sneer, the armored sergeant pointed to the top of the tower.

That is……

Looking in the direction pointed by the sergeant, Qi Xiu, who was thinking about climbing over the wall and leaving the city, suddenly turned dark.

Just playing around, right?

Why are you raising an eagle?

Looking at the top of the city tower, where the huge bird of prey spread its wings nearly a foot, Qi Xiu's thoughts started to spin.

Eagles are diurnal animals and cannot be seen at night.

If I can’t run during the day, I’ll run at night.

After making up his mind to leave Baohe County, Qi Xiu glanced at the giant eagle on the tower, turned around calmly and followed the crowd back to the city.

……

into the night.

At night when there were no stars or moon, the city was completely silent.

Or maybe it was because of the iron-fisted policy adopted by the Zephyr Army after entering the city, which frightened the people.

The market is quite lively on weekdays.

Now, not even a single person can be seen.

Qi Xiu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, silently assessing the time.

Just experienced a big disaster.

There are no watchmen in the city, so we can only rely on rough estimates of the time.

It shouldn't be too bad.

When it seemed that it was around Yin hour, Qi Xiu quickly jumped out of bed, picked up the bundle he had prepared, and strode open the door to the main room.

Freedom, here I come.

-

<divclass="contentadv">As soon as I walked into the yard, a faint whistle came from above my head.

isn't it...

His face stiffened, Qi Xiu raised his head and looked up at the sky.

A goshawk with a wingspan of more than three meters was slowly passing over his head.

It seemed that they were patrolling to see if anyone wanted to sneak over the wall and leave the city at night.

He stood in the yard silently for a long time.

Qi Xiu tightened the baggage around him and returned to the house, still muttering faintly:

“Fly, fly.

I don't believe you didn't sleep.

Let's see who of us can survive. "

……

for days.

I only slept for one hour every day and spent a lot of time on the eve of my mental breakdown.

Qi Xiu finally cracked the secret of why the patrolling eagle could never rest for twelve hours a day.

because……

"It wasn't a patrol eagle at all."

Helplessly spreading his hands, Jin Tai pushed the wine bottle in front of Qi Xiu.

"According to my investigation, the West Wind Army raised a total of six such patrol eagles, working in three shifts.

There are two in each class, one patrolling inside the city and one patrolling outside the city.

This patrolling eagle has a very sharp eye.

Let alone a person.

Not even a mouse can escape their eyes.

Listen to Brother Tai's advice and don't even think about going out for a while. "

Brother Tai?

I'm still here to protect you.

Qi Xiu rolled his eyes at Jin Tai and tapped the table twice:

"What is the origin of this West Wind Army? He is so overbearing in his actions."

"Hey, he came from the Jixi Military Town. Of course he is domineering, and the brigade commander Yuan Baiyi who led the army this time has an extraordinary status..."

Turning the wine cup in his hand, Jin Tai's eyes were serious and there was something in his words.

"Unusual, you mean he is not an ordinary brigade commander?" Qi Xiu asked with his eyes moving.

"Okay, okay, you, a scholar, should stop asking about these things.

By the way, is your eldest brother in town?

At this time, our two families should join forces. "

Impatiently, he interrupted Qi Xiu's questioning and had no time to chat with the scholar. Jin Tai was still thinking about Ip Man.

How can a master of both law and martial arts have no background?

If you want to go out of town, Ip Man may be the only way.

Seeing Jin Tai's disgusted expression, Qi Xiu felt a vein in his forehead and wanted to give him a try of the powerful Red Sand Palm.

But now Baimian Facebook cannot be used casually.

Ip Man's identity cannot be revealed for the time being.

I have to write down this black debt in my mind first and pay it back later.

"My eldest brother has something important to do. He left the city ten days ago and won't be back for a while."

His face darkened, Jin Tai put his hands on the back of his head in boredom:

"Then we can only wait."

……

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

The martial law order that closed the city has not yet been lifted.

However, apart from not being allowed to enter or leave, the Xifeng army did not interfere much in the affairs of the city.

On the contrary, normal life order has gradually returned to the county town.

Even because of the majesty and ruthlessness of the West Wind Army.

Even the daily petty thefts are much less common.

In the small courtyard of the Qi family.

Qi Xiu, wearing a green shirt, seemed to have turned back into the poor scholar who used to sell calligraphy for a living.

Holding a wolf hair and swiping it on a piece of white paper, he splashed ink on it and wrote down the characters in jade letters.

The city gate is locked.

Those who are inside cannot get out, and those who are outside cannot get in.

There was no caravan traffic.

Food, meat, medicinal materials, and even toilet paper cannot be transported in.

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of food and meat.

Refining medicine to make soup is also a medicine that is difficult for a great doctor to make.

Without the supply of food, meat and medicine, Qi Xiu had to suspend his training in martial arts and medicine refining.

Invest all your time in calligraphy skills.

Watching calligraphy is getting closer and closer to the three realms.

……

The unit is a little late working overtime today.

As usual, I will continue to read, thank you brothers!
