"And..." She slowly turned her eyes and looked at the other side, but Qingmian's tone was sarcastic and said: "This one is the most upright and outspoken official in the court, Mr. Liu. He hates evil as much as he hates it. There are countless officials who have punished the guilty by word of mouth and pen, but they are the most loyal and trustworthy officials around King Ye."
"You robbed their team and humiliated him like this. I'm afraid that from now on, no matter where you escape, the people sent by Mr. Liu to chase you will be like gangrene and will not stop dying."
After she said this, the expressions of Xing'an and the gangsters suddenly changed, and they looked at Mr. Liu.
That look was like looking at a dead person.
But Mr. Liu was sweating now and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He looked at Zheng Quchi in panic, and met her clear light brown eyes. They were obviously innocent and courageous eyes, but at this moment he couldn't understand them at all.
She, she exposed their identities at this time, did she do it out of ignorance, or——
Most of the new road bandits are not extremely vicious people.
Maybe sometimes they commit murders, but usually they are killings out of righteous indignation. Because the composition of road bandits is relatively simple, they are composed of some farming civilians, so they have some taboos and psychological barriers to murder.
Unless necessary, they usually just rob property and will not commit murder or commit greater crimes.
That's why in the beginning, the chief eunuch and Mr. Liu dared to curse and argue with these people. Otherwise, with their greedy and fearful nature, they would have given up their money to save their lives.
But this time... Xing'an might let them go at first, but once he learns their true identities, he will definitely kill them and silence them in order to avoid any further trouble.
Xing'an raised his index finger and gently rubbed his lips, sighing leisurely: "It seems that we have indeed made trouble."
Zheng Quchi lowered his eyes.
More than that.
This is simply poking a hornet's nest.
Xing'an killed the chief eunuch, which was enough to shock the people in Shengjing. If Master Liu and the others were allowed to go back, not only would they be in trouble but the road bandits. If Master Liu saw her with the road bandits, he would definitely He reported the matter to King Ye with added insults to magnify the seriousness of the incident.
Even if she explains it later, King Ye and the people in the court will not believe it, because you can't wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.
All they could think about was how to take this opportunity to eliminate her, the unsightly general's wife, and the Four Elephants Army who refused to surrender to the imperial court.
What will happen to Fu County by then? What will happen to the Yuwen family? What will happen to those Four Elephants Army? What will happen to the country of Ye?
She promised Brother Wei and the others that she would guard Yu Wensheng's general's mansion, protect his soldiers, and protect them.
If survival on this "hunting ground" requires fighting her way out, then she will shed this layer of sheepskin and learn to be a wolf that actively hunts.
Xiao San and Xiao Qi stood behind and listened for a while. They finally understood why Xiao Zheng was in a hurry to find Brother Xing'an just now. It turned out that these people were not allowed to touch, because if they touched them, their hands would be ruined.
But now they not only touched each other, but also killed a person whose identity should be extraordinary...
At this point, it is impossible to settle the matter, and we can only... Xiaosan's eyes turned red, and her heart darkened: "Brother Xing'an, we can't ask them to leave!"
After hearing this, the road bandits all understood and all agreed: "Yes, after killing them, we can then blame others for the incident and no one will notice."
"I just found out not long ago that something happened at Changxunpo. King Ye will definitely be thinking of dealing with the Four Elephants Army. Why don't we just blame them directly for this matter." Someone suggested.
"I agree too!"
"That's right, as long as we take care of the end of this matter, it will have nothing to do with us!"
Zheng Quchi rolled his eyes speechlessly after hearing how they planned to blame the blame for his own camp.
You guys are awesome, you dare to do it but don’t take it seriously.
But with her as the general's wife, their plan is destined to fail halfway. Who wants to touch her? Then she would send them to jail for free meals first.
Mr. Liu saw that these road bandits were like wild beasts with red eyes. When it came to killing people, they still killed ministers in the court, but he did not have any hesitation or fear.
He finally realized that these road bandits might not be the rabble he once thought.
They knew how to ambush and set traps, and they had tools, equipment, and gunpowder... His mind was buzzing at the moment, and he probably knew that he was doomed this time.
No, he can't just take him with his hands tied!
He panicked and ordered the remaining guards: "Go, you go and kill these bandits!"
Most of the guards were injured by smashes or explosions, and some were caught in traps and found it difficult to even stand up. With such a team, it was undoubtedly a stone's throw to deal with the young and powerful road bandits.
Master Liu pushed the guards to rush forward, while he himself turned around, took a horse from the fire, and planned to take the opportunity to escape.
The guards also knew that if they didn't resist, they would be dead, so they fought with their broken bodies and got into chaos with the bandits. Xiaosan and Xiaoqi didn't understand martial arts, so they hurriedly hid aside. .
As for Zheng Quchi, Xing'an protected him to a safe place on the other side.
The surrounding flames danced in his eyes. Zheng Quchi quietly watched Master Liu's figure turning on the back of his horse. At this time, a strange and sweet aroma penetrated into her nose, and Xing'an quietly clung to her back.
"You want him to die?"
Zheng Quchi was shocked.
"as you wish."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his wrist, and a sword stabbed Master Liu straight into the back. With a painful groan, the man fell down from his horse.
Zheng Quchi's fingers trembled, but she didn't care about Mr. Liu's life or death at the moment. She just turned her head in confusion: "What...did you just say?"
Xing'an stared deeply into her eyes, the flames whistling in the valley wind, as if they both had a cluster of burning flames in each other's eyes.
However, he said nothing and turned back to the road bandits.
Zheng Quchi clenched his fists and chose to put aside the confusing things in his mind for the time being.
When no one was paying attention, she trotted over to the dead chief eunuch, pretending to check whether he was dead, but instead rummaging through him for something.
"Xiao Zheng, why are you next to a dead person? Aren't you afraid?" Xiao San asked in surprise.
Zheng Quchi was startled, but when she heard the voice of the mistress, her stiff back slowly relaxed.
However, his question made her feel in a very brief trance.
Dead people... She used to be afraid of them, but once she saw something too much, it was as if her nerves were numb and she wasn't afraid anymore.
She was now more afraid of the living than the dead.
"I just wanted to check if he was dead."
"Oh...but he is definitely dead. He can seal his throat with a sword. Brother Xing'an's swordsmanship seems to be getting better and better." Xiaosan muttered a few words, and then quickly shouted: "Xiao Zheng, the dead are so ugly." , come here quickly, don’t get stained with the blood of that hermaphrodite.”
Xiao Qi also nodded: "Dirty, don't touch it."
Zheng Quchi nodded, and when she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground, and she felt suspicious.
He put his ear to the ground and heard the vibration of horse hooves on the ground. There should be a cavalry team nearby. Zheng Quchi suddenly raised his eyes.
Not only did she hear it, but the road bandit who was responsible for the lookout and reconnaissance at a high place ran down in a hurry.
"Xing'an, Xing'an, there is a cavalry team in the east. They did not light the torches. I can't see how many there are, and I don't know if they are coming here. What should I do now?"
Hearing this, Xing'an glanced around the mess and said, "Cover up all the clues that belong to us. We will destroy everything that can be destroyed and bury the ones that cannot be destroyed."
Seeing that they were already starting to clean up, Zheng Quchi became a little anxious.
She stared at the flames burning near the carriage that were getting smaller and smaller. If it were daytime, the burning black smoke could still be blown into the air by the wind, and could be seen by people from a distance.
Wang Zebang and the others might be searching around here today...but whether it was his team or not, she would unite with them to stop these road bandits from escaping again.
The person in charge of reconnaissance ran back again, this time his expression was obviously more frightened than before: "Xing'an! It's officers and soldiers, and there is also a black armored army, maybe it is a black armored army, we have to escape quickly!"...
Zheng Quchi's pupils suddenly tightened, and the corners of his straight lips slightly curled up quietly, but she quickly smoothed them away.
Sure enough, they are here.
When Xing'an heard this, his eyes were deep and dark in the dark night, and he ordered: "Pack up your belongings, take our things with you, and let's go!"
Zheng Quchi stared at Xing'an's back quietly, her eyes exactly the same as when she looked at Master Liu before - she would not let them escape like this.
It's just that it will take a certain amount of time before Wang Zebang and the others arrive, and the other party may not even be able to find the right direction in this dark night. How can she tell them where they are and delay waiting for them?
She suddenly remembered something: "Xiao Qi, do you have a gunpowder bamboo tube with you?"
Despite asking like this, she was sure he had it on him.
Because Xiaoqi, Xiaosan and the others are responsible for the logistics of assembling equipment. In addition to the quantity of equipment that needs to be equipped, they should also carry some spares with them to prevent unexpected repairs.
Sure enough, Xiao Qi nodded without any hesitation.
"Can you lend it to me?" she asked again.
Xiaoqi is different from Xiaosan. He has a simple mind. Once he is someone he considers close to, he will not have any wariness or defensiveness. Although he has known Zheng Quchi for a short time, he trusts her like a companion.
Xiao Qi took out a few sticks from his body and handed them to her.
Xiao San actually had some ideas, but he did not stop Xiao Qi. He just asked strangely: "Xiao Zheng, what do you want this for?"
Facing these two trusting faces, Zheng Quchi suddenly asked: "Xiaosan, Xiaoqi, if one day you stop being street gangsters, what do you want to do?"
Xiaosan was stunned: "Why...you have to ask that?"
Xiao Qi also looked confused.
Zheng Quchi stretched out his hand, rubbed their heads with a smile, and patted them gently: "You two little fools, what's the good of being a road bandit? You're worried every day, and you can't do it for a lifetime. Why are you still hesitating? .”
The mistress avoided her hand and prevented her from messing up her hair: "No, we just think it's strange that you asked this, and...how did you know the identities of those people?"
He asked the last sentence very quietly, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.
When Zheng Quchi saw that Xiao Qi did not hide, he stood there obediently and allowed her to "ravage" him. Comparing the two, Xiao Qi was indeed more like a cute little angel.
"When I asked you questions, how did you answer them? If you say that the time has come, you will naturally know it. So now I will give you this sentence in return. When the time comes, you will also know it."
After saying that, she turned around and took four gunpowder bamboo tubes, rushed to the carriage that was on fire, lit the bamboo tubes with fuses, and threw them in through the window gap of the carriage.
There was only a pause for a few seconds before a deafening bang - an explosion shocked the surrounding area.
The road bandits who were cleaning up the scene were all startled, and their bodies instinctively bowed down with their heads in their hands. It wasn't until the successive bombings stopped that they all turned back in shock——
I saw that the carriage of a carriage was blown to pieces, and the black wooden boards were scattered everywhere.
They were all stunned and looked at the woman standing in front of the flames unable to react. The flames behind her were blown around by the wind, and they were baring their teeth and claws like crazy. But she was as tough as steel and as if bathed in fire. And born.
She also turned around, her previous face was weak.
Her pitch-white face had an inexplicable look of cold whiteness at this moment, and her golden and red eyes were like rolling waves of fire.
Xing'an stood there blankly, looking at her motionless.
Zheng Quchi directly picked up a blood-stained knife from the ground, came to Xing'an with bold and quick steps, and without saying a word, he put the knife in his hand on his neck.
"Xiao Zheng——"
Xiao San and Xiao Qi were both shocked.
Zheng Quchi was not good at using knives, so he didn't have any weight on his hands, so the sharp blade accidentally made a small bloody cut on Xing'an's neck.
The road bandits finally reacted and shouted anxiously: "Xiao Zheng, what are you doing?! Let Xing'an go!"
Zheng Quchi's face was as frosty as he shouted sharply: "Don't move, everyone just stand where you are!"
She changed directions and stood side by side with Xing'an, holding the knife in her hand very steadily this time. She faced the road bandits, so that they could clearly see that she was serious.
"Who are you? Those two dog officers just now seemed to know you. Tell me, are you from the government?" Someone among the road bandits asked angrily.
Although the dead chief eunuch didn't tell who Xiao Zheng was, they were keenly aware of something, but everyone wanted to solve it after they returned.
But they didn't expect that she would rebel so quickly and would choose to suddenly attack at this time, catching them off guard.
Come to think of it, just now she used the gunpowder bamboo tube to deliberately create such an alarming explosion just to attract the government's pursuers!
Zheng Quchi replied: "I am not from the government."
"You still don't admit it yet?" The road bandits didn't believe it at all.
"There's nothing to admit. I've said it before, I'm not a member of the government."
Xing'an, who had remained silent since being kidnapped, suddenly spoke out.
"then who are you?"
