Chapter 408 Arresting People
"I'm coming!"
Just when Xia Yan was about to put down his chopsticks, there was a noise outside.
The surrounding government officials and soldiers immediately welcomed Master Wang.
A strong and powerful man separated from the crowd and walked over. This man was dressed in martial arts uniforms and had a big sword on his waist.
In the past, Dajing did not strictly prohibit wearing swords and knives.
After all, there are martial arts schools that teach Qi Wu. With Qi Wu, there is no insurmountable gap between holding swords and short weapons and using them empty-handed.
Moreover, Da Jing used to be quite martial.
As the country continued to develop, the rule became more and more high-pressure. While martial arts schools were reduced, swords and knives were also restricted.
Nowadays, if you see people with swords and knives on the street, you should be careful.
Because they are definitely people that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Xia Yanzhen and the man both belong to this group.
However, one is a strong and vicious man, and the other is an official of the imperial court, who cannot be offended in different senses.
The man walked to the other side of the table, sat down in a dignified manner, and waved his hand: "Let's all leave, you are useless here."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers and government officials accepted the order to retreat in an orderly manner.
"Don't forget to close the door," the man reminded.
As everyone left the restaurant and closed the door, the lobby suddenly became darker.
Sunlight shines in through the hollow of the wooden door, leaving mottled light and shadow on the floor and walls, as well as a halo.
"Boy, you killed three ghost guys in the street. You are very brave." The middle-aged man said.
Compared with foreign devils, the hostility of ghost guys is more obvious.
"Oh?" Xia Yanzhen looked at the middle-aged man with a strange expression.
There seems to be something wrong with this person's position?
"Surprised?" the middle-aged man smiled, "Thought I was here to arrest you?"
"Otherwise you are?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"On the surface, I'm here to arrest you, but I don't like those ghost guys. If you die, you will die. Do you want me to arrest you? Just dream." Zhu Wu looked arrogant, and he had the confidence to say this.
The most powerful in Dajing are the four great masters - there are still two left.
Below are the grandmasters. Compared to the single-digit grandmasters, the number of grandmasters is much greater.
There are thousands of people registered.
But spread across the entire Great Jing, every grandmaster can definitely be regarded as a well-known big shot.
As one of the masters, Zhu Wu had a high status in Jiangbei City. He was affiliated with the Yamen of Yao Ding Mansion, but had no specific position.
The only person who can order him is the prefect.
"So you don't want to arrest me, but are you going to let me go?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Zhu Wu nodded: "Yes, take a punch from me later, and then run for your life. Remember to kill a few more ghost guys, and fuck them to death! By the way, you are not one of those rebels, are you?"
He asked one more question.
The closest rebel bandit (anti-king) of the Nine Routes to Shuntian Province is the Southwest Army in the west.
And if the Southwest Army wants to reach Shuntian Province, let alone fighting all the way, even if it is just a simple march, it will take a long time.
Shuntian Province has basically never experienced the blade of rebels.
Otherwise, Zhu Wu would not just mention it, but would ask a serious question.
"Thank you, no." Xia Yanzhen thanked him first and then denied it.
Rebellious?
He is much more dangerous than a rebel.
In Qiucheng, people called him Demon Star and Natural Disaster.
"By the way, senior, do you know the Goddess?" Xia Yanzhen asked, always asking questions when waiting for others.
The method of finding mission clues is simple and simple.
"Mother of Gods?" Zhu Wu wondered, "What is that?"
"What about the White Lotus Sect?"
Following these words, Zhu Wu narrowed his eyes: "What are you asking the White Lotus Sect for?"
"Back then, the White Lotus Sect took the world by storm, but within a few years, it completely disappeared. From the members to the middle and upper levels of the sect, everyone disappeared. Except for a name, nothing was left." Xia Yanzhen said, "Senior, don't you think it's strange?"
"Are you a remnant of White Lotus?"
"Of course not." Xia Yanzhen said, "My master is very interested in all mysterious things in the world. The White Lotus Sect is quite mysterious to him, and I am also interested."
"Your master? You are not very old. You just came out of the mountains to experience?" Zhu Wu asked.
With the Great Calm and Turmoil, some people will indeed begin to seek refuge in seclusion.
For a powerful qi martial artist, being in the mountains and wilderness far away from the human world is not a dangerous place.
"That's right." Xia Yanzhen admitted.
As a fledgling young qi martial artist, this identity suits him quite well.
Zhu Wu didn't care about the truth or falsehood: "As long as it's not a remnant of White Lotus. After I let you go, you won't stay in Jiangbei City anymore, do you understand?"
As long as it's not the White Lotus remnants and rebels - well, even so.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble on his Zhu Wu land, he won't care too much.
He didn't even ask Xia Yan's real name or where he was from.
I am very happy when you kill the ghost guy. Why do we need to know each other before?
"Okay." Xia Yanzhen agreed immediately.
"Keep your word. If you were to meet me in the city, it wouldn't be as simple as a punch." Zhu Wu said.
"Don't worry, we'll leave right away." Xia Yanzhen said.
He really wanted to leave Jiangbei City and visit the concessions of those Star Alliance people.
Don’t forget, this is a team fight scenario.
In addition to him and Chongxiao, there is another hostile force - the Omniscient Eye.
He was assigned the status of a "rebel".
Chongxiao belongs to the imperial court.
So, the identity of the Omniscient Eye is probably from the Star Federation.
Xia Yan really planned to scan all the rented land to see if he would encounter the omniscient eye.
"Have you finished eating?" Seeing Xia Yanzhen stand up, Zhu Wu asked.
"Yeah." Xia Yanzhen walked around the table, "Come?"
"Be careful." Zhu Wu punched out, his aura surged, but no additional image formed.
If you want to condense the breath, on the one hand, it requires strength, and on the other hand, it will only appear when the qi martial artist truly fights with all his strength.
If a looming "shape" appears behind a Qi martial artist, it means that he no longer has much reservation.
Obviously, Zhu Wu really just wanted to punch Xia Yanzhen and then go back to the business.
Although there is no aura to condense, the power of this punch cannot be underestimated.
Falling on ordinary buildings in the city is enough to blast a big hole.
Xia Yanzhen raised his hand and firmly caught Zhu Wu's fist.
"Good boy!"
Zhu Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, a little pleased to see Lie Xin, "Take another punch from me!"
This punch was heavier than before.
Xia Yanzhen still took it with one hand.
Zhu Wu resisted the urge to throw a third punch: "You are good at martial arts."
"I understand a little bit," Xia Yanzhen said.
"Oh, you don't look like a young and frivolous person." Zhu Wu said, "Okay, you can leave through the back door."
"What about you? Will something happen?" Xia Yanzhen asked one more question.
"No." Zhu Wu originally wanted to brag about his status, but when he thought of Da Jing's current situation, he lost interest and just waved his hand to indicate that Xia Yan could really leave.
Xia Yanzhen stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left from behind the restaurant door.
"This kid, why don't you even want to drink a glass of wine?" Zhu Wu glanced at the leftovers on the table and didn't find the wine bottle.
But it didn't matter. He walked behind the counter, picked up a jar of wine, took off the outer seal, and drank heavily.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth, dropped the drink money, stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.
There was still a group of government officials and soldiers surrounding him outside.
But there happened to be a few more people - people from the Star Federation.
There were five people in total. The leader was the envoy sent from the land lease near Jiangbeicheng, followed by four fighters who were all protecting him.
"Where are the people?"
Seeing Zhu Wu coming out alone, the messenger asked.
He spoke Dajing Mandarin, and his pronunciation was quite standard.
"He ran away after being injured by me." Zhu Wu casually pointed in the direction, "Here, where he ran away, you can go and chase him."
"Run away! How could you let the murderer run away!"
"Run away, just run away. Even if you arrest people, you will always fail." Zhu Wu looked like a rogue, "How do you put it in your words? Oh, are you making a fool of yourself?"
The strange look made the messenger furious.
"I suspect you let people go on purpose! Do you want to provoke a war between our Star Federation and Da Jing?" The messenger put his hat on, pointed at Zhu Wu's nose and roared.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" Zhu Wu became even more fierce, "I'm so scared of you! Then come on! I'm afraid of you!"
The envoy was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet an incompetent person. He rolled his eyes and instantly changed his strategy. He said to the people around him: "You have all heard it. This person must be the rebel of your Dajing. He wants to Provoke a war between the two states!"
After saying that, he said to Zhu Wu: "You are such a spy!"
Zhu Wu smiled disdainfully, separated from the crowd and left.
The messenger stared at Zhu Wu's back, wondering whether to take action directly.
It's just that the other party is a qi martial artist, and his strength is not bad.
If it can't be taken down immediately, it will really have a big impact, which is not good.
You know, the current strategy of the Star Federation is to lie on Da Jing's body and continue to suck blood, rather than start a large-scale war in a short time.
It is beneficial to control things like friction, but it will be disadvantageous if they are not controlled properly and cause problems.
However, the messenger soon no longer needed to think about whether to take action.
Because a figure flashed across the roof of the restaurant.
Xia Yanzhen fell from the sky and hit several Star Alliance people heavily.
Those fighters reacted quite quickly and immediately blocked the messenger behind them.
However, it had no effect at all. Xia Yan really stretched out his hand and easily broke through the defense lines of several people. As if entering an uninhabited land, he drove straight in and grabbed the envoy's head.
"Um?"
Zhu Wu, who had barely taken two steps, turned around in surprise.
Why hasn't this kid left yet?
"Come, be my guide." Xia Yanzhen let go and reached down, grabbed the messenger's shoulders, and jumped up.
The stone slabs beneath his feet shattered, and he jumped into the air.
The messenger in his hand was just an ordinary person. He couldn't bear the power of the instant acceleration and fainted immediately.
Jumping to the top, Xia Yanzhen gently threw the messenger upwards, took out the Book of Sacred Purification, and opened it to use the Wings of Light.
The wings formed by the pages of the book appeared under his feet, carrying Xia Yanzhen to fly upwards, catch the messenger, and disappeared into the high-altitude clouds.
Tiamat arrived on time and picked up Xia Yanzhen.
"flew away?"
Underground, Zhu Wu's mouth opened involuntarily, "Fuck him, it's so cool! What's the background of this kid?"
No matter how strong a qi martial artist is, he can't fly.
Among the various unpopular strange secrets, the one that can make people fly only exists in stories passed down by word of mouth.
