Aggrieved Fish Sprite

"Catch the bandits!"

"The thieves kidnap Li Zhubo!"

Holding torches, the soldiers poured out of the barracks to search in all directions.

In the darkness of night, like twisted and stretched fire snakes, they quickly alarmed the defenders on the other side of the city wall of Run County.

After receiving the news, the county lieutenant was even more furious.

In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the servant from his sleep, and after knowing that the city was on fire, he still blamed Yizai for making a fuss.The county lieutenant is in charge of the bandit suppression and military affairs in a county. In name, he is subordinate to the county magistrate, but the world has been in turmoil for a long time. It is not the Chen Dynasty that emphasizes civility over military affairs. In many places, the county lieutenant may speak better than the county magistrate.

In the eyes of the old county captain, it was just two gangs of Jianghu bandits who started arguing in Ganquan Tang.

Although those Jianghu people are as annoying as mice, they generally don't provoke the government easily. They fight every three days and fight every five days, and they can fight each other to the death. The court doesn't need to bother about them at all.As for the innocent people who were involved in the rivers and lakes battles and were killed?They can only be considered unlucky.

If he hadn't heard that the thief had used a crossbow arrow, the county captain wouldn't have paid any attention to it.

No trace of bandits could be found in the city. The county lieutenant didn't want to intervene in the rivers and lakes strife, and he sneered at the statement that the bandits looted the county town from the magistrate of Run County. During the stalemate, someone came to report an accident in the military camp outside the city. , This can be regarded as completely pouring a spoonful of oil into the fire!

The county lieutenant's face turned blue and turned pale.

How could ordinary rivers and lakes fight against the barracks and kidnap Li Zhubo?

Just now he denied Yizai's statement, but he was embarrassing face to face, and his old face almost disappeared.

Seeing the county captain's ugly face, Yi Zai felt very relieved, but it was enough to gloat in his heart, after all, the "big enemy" was present, there were bandits both inside and outside the city, and the situation was very serious.

"Hey, you don't have to worry about the Shaofu, it's really hard to guard against bandits..."

The county magistrate hadn't finished speaking when he saw the teacup on the table trembling slightly.

Ka Ka Ka, Ding Ding Ding.

The amplitude of this vibration became bigger and bigger, until there was a bang, and the famous kiln porcelain vase on the Bogu shelf fell down.

The county magistrate didn't care about his distressed objects, he stood up abruptly, but was tripped by a table leg and fell to the ground.

"The earth dragon turned over."

Some of the servants outside were shouting, and some of them froze in place not knowing what happened.

"Shut up, it's artillery!" The county lieutenant's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he could already smell the smell of gunpowder smoke wafting over.

"What, what?"

The county magistrate was frightened out of his wits, and artillery was his last resort.

Could it be that the government can deter the world by relying on the high imperial power?Of course not, the reason why thieves are thieves and can never become officials is because they don't have enough manpower, even if there is a huge battle, flesh and blood can't match the power of artillery.

Although there are not many cannons in Run County, they are enough to intimidate. After all, most people in this world, when they hear this deafening sound, they think it is the power of the gods.

The county magistrate who fell to the ground realized that he had lost face. He was about to say something to cover up in embarrassment, when suddenly the ground trembled again.

Now he felt clearly that the vibration came from the ground, and it was not violent, just like shaking a cup to break a vase.

"Dilong turn over, run!"

The yelling outside became louder and louder, and the county magistrate scrambled out the door, only to find that the water level in the small lotus pond in the courtyard was dropping rapidly.

There is no doubt that it is really an earth dragon.

As for the artillery, it may be that when the shell was shaking, it accidentally hit the ground and exploded when it rolled down.

Everyone ran for their lives with their heads in their hands, fearing that their heads would be smashed by the falling tiles.

Fortunately, because of the officers and soldiers' raids in the city before, almost all the people in the city were awake, and the vibration was not strong, so there were no casualties.Only something happened on the side of the city wall, and the shells blew up a small section of the city wall.

When the county magistrate heard the report, he almost fainted.

The thieves are staring at each other, and the city wall has collapsed. Isn't it that the sky is about to perish in Run County?

Also thinking of this point are the county captain and a group of wealthy households in the east of the city.

At the risk of "aftershocks", everyone hurriedly cleaned up their belongings, and hurriedly assembled guards and horse-drawn carriages, preparing to escape from the county in the chaos.Because the situation is urgent, they can only take care of themselves, and have no time to help others, let alone go out to inquire about the situation.

The town is in complete disarray.

The people who were sheltering from the earthquake, the rich and squires who were busy fleeing, the soldiers who couldn't figure out what happened...

After going on like this for half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, and people realized that there were no bandits inside or outside the city, and the earthquake did not continue to occur.

They looked around blankly, and then returned home step by step with hesitation.

It wasn't until the sun was high and everyone watched that there was no movement, and then they dared to come out to inquire about the news.

The Shuijing market was crowded with people. Some said that there were bandits attacking the city last night, some said that the government did not pay soldiers and caused a mutiny, and some said that it was a battle between the rivers and lakes. He was caught up by the enemy and set a fire.

What's more, he directly said that the shopkeeper of Ganquantang was the gangster, who stripped the face of the original shopkeeper and disguised himself as a cover-up. Shen leaked the leak, which attracted the thieves, and finally the government had to use artillery in order to resist the thieves.

The last statement is reasonable and reasonable, and most people believe it.

A group of ruffians picked up shovels and touched the ruins of Ganquantang to dig out gold and silver treasures.

After a while, they were dispersed by the government.

The rascals wandered around unwillingly, cursing and swearing.

Just because the government came to such a trick, they believed even more that there were treasures under the ruins, but they didn't dare to contend with the plain swords of the officers and soldiers.

They dug randomly just now, and they didn't gain anything. Ganquan Tang was made according to the Gold Selling Cave in Yangzhou, and the objects and furnishings inside were more valuable.Although there was a fire, some people still dug up some gold, silver and bronze ornaments under the ruins. As long as they were not too damaged, they could be exchanged for some money by sending them to the pawn shop.

Some rascals and idlers, seeing that there is no chance, just sneaked away with their own gains to find pawnshops.

Among the crowd, the swordsman pressed the bamboo hat and covered a long strip with his cloak.

There are so many people, and some scoundrels see that this guy seems to have got something good, so they follow him without even thinking about it, and they are going to make a fuss.

It is conceivable that they were quickly left behind by the swordsmen in the winding alleys.

The swordsman held his lost saber and let out a long sigh of relief.

The scabbard had been burnt beyond recognition, and a small half of the handle was missing, but the knife was fine.People in the Jianghu lost their usual weapons, as if they had lost half their lives. For a master like a swordsman, even if he died, he would not want to lose his weapons.

Last night was really dangerous and dangerous.

Even the swordsman couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he recalled it.

Not to mention the danger of burning sweet spring soup and being hunted by people all over the city, but the ink carp found a smoking vent and chopped it down with a single knife.

***

That knife was extremely powerful, and it seemed to shake the world.

The majestic internal force turned the flying dust and gravel into raging waves, coupled with Meng Qi's palm power, the forest was destroyed in an instant, and the trees were uprooted.

The swordsman was about to discern the lethality of this saber technique, but he suddenly discovered that Mo Li's internal strength had turned into softness when the saber fell.

Everything is suspended in mid-air, from trees and gravel to bewildered rabbits and weasels.

The hedgehog stretched its limbs, shrunk itself into a ball with difficulty, insisted on pointing the sharp thorns outside without touching the ground, and then it bumped into a gray bird that was struggling to flap its wings.The latter hissed, and the feathers exploded, looking from a distance as if two balls were colliding with each other.

Swordsman: "..."

Strange, why did his eyes suddenly change for the better?It was pitch black in the woods just now.

The swordsman turned his head belatedly, and suddenly found that there was a touch of whiteness in the sky, and the night was slowly receding.

The first daylight was reflected on Wufeng Blade, and there was a faint golden glow in the paleness.

No killing intent.

Swordsman is particularly uncomfortable. It feels like a person who eats bean curd with sauce and vinegar, and suddenly finds out that someone in this world puts sugar in the bean curd. Isn't this a joke?Could it be that he was teasing me?Douhua... oh no, the knife technique can still be like this?

What kind of knife do you use without hurting people?

Is it not good to practice Tai Chi?

The swordsman's brain is not very good, but his intuition is strong.

Intuition told him that this might be a chance.

——Only by understanding the opposite martial arts can one truly break through the realm and not be trapped by oneself.

The swordsman stared at the ink carp intently. At first, he was amazed at how such a powerful move turned into a soft force that would not hurt anyone. Obviously the tree was uprooted. Could it be that the inner force of the ink carp can have two attributes at the same time? ?Can this internal force grow eyes, only destroy sandstone trees, and at the same time let go of hedgehogs and rabbits?

The swordsman was puzzled, at this moment Meng Qi struck again and hit the messy ground.

More sand and stone rolled up, and the ink carp made another knife.

The ground sank, revealing a long and narrow secret passage.

The swordsman suddenly realized that it was Meng Qi who did the real work. As he demolished it, the ink carp used the force of the knife to catch the blown sand, gravel and soil.

This move was not intended to save innocent little creatures whose homes were ransacked. If they released murderous threats, they would run away without looking back. The main purpose was to prevent the secret passage from completely collapsing. The inside may have been burned to a mess. No wonder it doesn't get destroyed.

For someone else, even if they found a smoking vent, it would be difficult to dig directly, let alone find the entrance to the secret passage in a short time.

"East!"

The thickness of the underground smoke indicated the direction.

The ink carp slowly withdrew its internal force, first the sand and then the trees, and soon barely recovered the original landform, but the trunks were all tilted to this side and the ground was bumpy.

The bird, the night owl, was patted on the ground in a daze, the hedgehog rolled away far away, and the rabbit and weasel fell straight into the pit.

In the next breath, the ones with long legs ran away, and the ones with wings all flew away.

A swordsman covered in ashes who was patted and stepped on: "..."

A rabbit even stepped on his instep.

These little things are quick-responsive, and when they were a step behind, they were caught by the smoke from the crack, and they fell sideways after running a few steps, and their bodies were still twitching.

The swordsman was startled, knowing that the smoke that had not spread in the air was more powerful, so he hurriedly carried the unconscious Li Zhubo and followed Meng Qi to evacuate.

Several people hurried for half a mile, and came to a place with an official road on the side and a slope full of weeds on the side.

Under the slope, there may be a secret workshop.

Just as Meng Qi was about to continue his work, those officers and soldiers holding torches to catch the "thieves" also arrived.

Mo Li had no intention of killing them, and when Meng Qi estimated how many of these people had questionable identities, the ground suddenly shook.

It wasn't the earth dragon turning over, but the underground secret passage began to explode.

The secret workshop for making drug pills was not only buried with kerosene from the Western Regions, which made the fire spread rapidly, but also buried thunderbolt bombs and other things.

There was not enough air in the ground, the explosion was not so violent originally, unexpectedly, Meng Qi, the ink carp, dug part of the tunnel, and the smoke gushed out to replace it with new air.

The ground was dug deep, and the explosion was so dull that it could not be heard in the city, only the water level of the ponds and wells dropped rapidly.However, the officers and soldiers who were near the slope at that time were injured, and the splashed soil hit them like a hidden weapon, bleeding their faces, and the entire slope collapsed. If it wasn't for the ink carp Meng Qi's sensitivity to the movement of the ground, his expression changed in time If you use lightness kung fu to escape, you may have to suffer.

The explosion lasted twice.

Meng Qi's face was as frightening as his muddy clothes.

"It's really uncomfortable to get into the chess game by mistake and be restricted everywhere." Meng Qi said in a cold tone.

Although shopkeeper Sun's back move could not threaten his and Mo Li's safety, on the contrary, he asked those people to destroy the important foundation of the lair, but the clues were repeatedly interrupted, and the feeling of being unable to catch the opponent's fox tail after chasing after him made Meng Qi extremely angry. dissatisfied.

"The time and place are right and the people are right. They are not lacking any of them." Mo Li glanced at the robe on his body, Meng Qi blocked all the aftermath for him just now.

Although the aftermath can't hurt yourself, it's inevitable to get your clothes dirty.

Mo Li didn't know what to say, since Meng Qi met this group of people, the clothes he was wearing didn't last long?

Meng Qi didn't know that the doctor was caring for him, Meng Qi said angrily: "The doctor is right, it seems that we can only find another way to disrupt the chess game they have set up."
