Chapter 4 Bloody Storm
As Qi Xuansu got closer and closer to the county government office, someone finally discovered this uninvited guest. Three Qingluan Guards wearing raincoats blocked his way.
The leading Qingluan Guard flag took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Qingluan Guards are handling cases, outsiders should stay away!"
Qi Xuansu asked slowly: "Is Li Hongwen in the county government office?"
His voice was not loud, but it clearly covered the sound of rain and reached the ears of the three Qingluan Guards.
The Qingluan Guards' faces suddenly changed. Without any hesitation, three long swords were unsheathed at the same time.
However, they were not "thin tiger swords", but "long sheep swords" worn by ordinary Qingluan Guards.
Even though they were Qingluan Guard flags, there were still differences in superiority and inferiority, just like the two Qingluan Guards who tried to become a hundred households in the county government office. One of them had worked hard for most of his life to get the position of a hundred households. He might die in this position in this life. The other climbed to the position of a hundred households at the age of thirty, and even had the hope of going further and removing the word "trial". The superiority and inferiority between the two was immediately determined.
Three Qingluan Guards rushed towards Qi Xuansu in a Chinese character formation. The one in the front was the Qingluan Guard Flag Officer, and the two captains on the left and right wings were all equipped with the Qingluan Guard's "Flying Squirrel Armor" and "Long Sheep Knife". They used the Three Talents formation to resist the enemy, which was very difficult.
Unfortunately, they met Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu dodged the knife that was chopped down on his head and took the opportunity to grab the wrist of the Qingluan Guard Flag Officer holding the knife. With just a little force, the Qingluan Guard Flag Officer could not hold the "Long Sheep Knife" in his hand. His five fingers loosened and the long knife fell into Qi Xuansu's hands.
Qi Xuansu grabbed the "Long Sheep Knife" with his backhand and blocked it casually, shocking the other two Qingluan Guards to stagger back. Qi Xuansu did not stop and passed by the Qingluan Guard Flag Officer who had no knife in his hand.
The stomach of the Qingluan Guard Flag Officer was completely cut open, and his intestines instantly flowed all over the floor.
His face was full of disbelief, he covered his lower abdomen with both hands, slowly knelt on the ground, and died.
The blood soon disappeared in the heavy rain.
The other two Qingluan Guards were horrified when they saw this scene.
The "Flying Squirrel Armor" was like paper in front of this knife.
But before the two of them could recover from their shock, Qi Xuansu had already swept towards them.
The blade of the "Long Sheep Knife" in his hand slashed through the rain curtain, splitting the falling raindrops in two, turning them into small water splashes, and the water splashes connected into a line, forming a visible water line in the rain curtain.
The next moment, Qi Xuansu and the two Qingluan Guards also passed by.
Then a bright red line appeared on their throats, and bright red blood slowly seeped out.
The "Long Sheep Knife" in the hands of the two Qingluan Guards fell to the ground, and they covered their throats with both hands, widened their eyes, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
After killing three people, Qi Xuansu stopped.
Although the rain was noisy at this time, he could still hear the sound of dense footsteps stepping on the accumulated water from the fierce rain.
Qi Xuansu looked up and saw a large group of figures wearing raincoats at the end of the long street behind a heavy rain curtain.
This was a large number of Qingluan Guards arriving.
Qi Xuansu threw the "Long Sheep Knife" in his hand forward.
The rain curtain was cut open.
This knife directly pierced the chest of the Qingluan Guard at the front of the entire team. The huge force carried by the knife forced him to retreat and collide with the person behind him.
The "Long Sheep Knife" completely penetrated the chest of the first Qingluan Guard to the handle, and also pierced the second Qingluan Guard behind him. The tip of the knife that came out of the back just pierced the heart of the third Qingluan Guard behind him.
The three people were skewered like candied haws with one knife.
Seeing that six Qingluan Guards had died at the hands of the young man in a very short time, the Qingluan Guards’ General Flag Officer, who was the highest-ranking officer at the scene, could not help but feel a little fear in his heart.
However, the Qingluan Guards had very severe punishments for those who were afraid of the enemy in battle, forcing him to suppress his fear and shout loudly: "Crossbows!"
The most common weapon used by the court to suppress martial artists was crossbows, especially the organized crossbows, which were difficult for ordinary martial artists to get away with.
Among the many crossbows, the Qingluan Guards most commonly used the "Jackdaw Crossbow", which was named because its appearance resembled a black jackdaw flapping its wings. The Qingluan Guards’ small flag officer who died in the charity cemetery used the "Jackdaw Crossbow".
Following the order of the Qingluan Guards’ General Flag Officer, a full twenty crossbows were raised and aimed at Qi Xuansu.
The next moment, there was a "humming" sound, which was particularly harsh in the noisy rain.
Although it sounded like only one sound, more than twenty crossbows were shot at Qi Xuansu.
Almost at the same time, Qi Xuansu waved his soaked cloak and swept all the crossbow arrows shot at him to the ground, without missing a single one.
The pupils of the Qingluan Guard's general flag suddenly shrank, staring at the unknown young man.
He turned out to be a real master.
It's not that they can't kill a master with human lives, but the key is that they don't have so many people now. It's undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to besiege a master to death with only twenty ordinary Qingluan Guards.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked back at the county government behind him.
In the heavy rain, the dark door of the county government was tightly closed, and it seemed particularly quiet.
In this government office, there are two trial centurions. They are the masters of the Qingluan Guard.
Sometimes, only masters can deal with masters.
…
The rain continued to fall on the ground, not only turning the street outside into a small river, but even the courtyard of the county government office quickly accumulated water.
However, the courtyard was unexpectedly quiet at this time. Apart from the noisy rain, because there were several banana plants planted in the courtyard, the only sound could be heard as the rain hit the banana plants.
Zhou Feilong stood in front of the court, looked at the banana leaves in the rain and said with emotion: "The rain hitting the banana leaves brings sadness, and infatuation flows into the water. The guests have arrived, but it's a pity that they don't appreciate it."
The word "unfortunately" was spoken very hard by him, and the word "appreciate" became very light, adding a lot of chilling meaning at once.
Li Sanxin still stayed in the room, picked up the tureen again, and sipped tea.
In the courtyard, dozens of Qingluan guardsmen wearing ponchos were standing silently. Under the ponchos were "Flying Squirrel Armors", around their waists were "Chang Sheep Swords", and in their hands were "Jackdaw Crossbows" with crossbows already loaded. .
What happened outside the county government office seemed to have nothing to do with them. These Qingluan Guards were motionless and silent, like stone sculptures. No matter the violent wind, rain, or the upcoming fight, they could not change the expressions on their faces at all. . Li Sanxin stood up from the chair with a bowl in one hand, walked to the rain eaves in front of the hall, listened to the increasingly quiet sounds of fighting outside the county government office, looked at the vast rain curtain in front of him, and said softly: "He is actually a master. At least it’s the pill-holding stage, which is a bit unexpected. But then again, this also shows that our Lord Li is indeed not simple.”
Zhou Feilong said with a smile: "The biggest fear when crossing a river is not knowing the depth. Once you know the depth, you have an idea. When I didn't know the reality just now, my mind was always hanging, but now I can put it into perspective."
Li Sanxin said with a smile: "Since Brother Zhou said this, I'll help Brother Zhou take down this person. I'll go see the iron-clad Master Li and see what else he has to say." , can you still say that you are not a friend or a partisan?”
Li Sanxin's voice was not loud, but there was not much room for negotiation.
After all, he is different from Zhou Feilong. He is Lord Qianhu's confidant and has a bright future. Although they are still equal colleagues today, they may one day become subordinates.
Zhou Feilong hesitated for a moment, then responded with a smile: "Okay."
Li Sanxin raised his hand, and immediately two Qingluan guards standing under the corridor came over to lead the way.
Immediately afterwards, two more Qingluan Guards Lieutenants followed. Li Sanxin, surrounded by four Qingluan Guards Lieutenants, walked slowly to the back house with a bowl in hand.
Zhou Feilong looked at Li Sanxin's leaving figure. Although he was quite angry in his heart, but having achieved this position as an official and practicing in Gongmen for many years, "controlling anger and calming down the energy" has long been a necessary skill, so the expression on his face was not the same at all. Xian, after retracting his gaze, looked at the Qingluan Guards in front of him and waved his hand.
All the Qingluan guards turned around at the same time and walked towards the Yamen gate.
The large flat outside the county government office is half an acre in size according to regulations. Apart from two huge stone lions, there is nothing else. The vastness shows its majesty.
However, the large flat is now covered with corpses lying in various directions, soaked by the rain. The blood and water are mixed with the rain and flowing into the ditches and culverts.
Qi Xuansu was the only person standing in the middle of the flat. He looked at the dark gate of the county government and remained silent.
The next moment, the gate of the county government opened with a bang, and many Qingluan guards poured out of the gate, lining up along the two splayed walls on both sides of the gate, with an astonishing momentum.
Then Zhou Feilong, who was wearing the official uniform of a hundred households, crossed the high threshold and came to the stone steps in front of the gate.
Zhou Feilong glanced at the scattered corpses, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes looking at Qi Xuansu were full of gloom.
Qi Xuansu stood there without any fear.
Zhou Feilong had no choice but to speak, his voice low and majestic: "Killing our Qingluan Guard soldiers in the street with the intention of rescuing imperial prisoners, this is a serious crime of beheading."
Qi Xuansu did not speak, but shook his cloak, revealing the "thin tiger knife" hanging on the right side.
After Zhou Feilong saw the knife, he immediately understood that the trusted subordinate who was sent to the "inn" to close the net was probably in danger. Although this confidant is just a small flag, his skills are quite good, and even many general flags cannot compare with him.
But he still
He opened his mouth and asked: "Did you kill the people guarding the 'inn'?"
Qi Xuansu leaned forward slightly, indicating that this was the case.
Zhou Feilong looked at him and said solemnly: "You really deserve to die."
