"Chu Xisheng!"
Baihu Zhangming looked at the figure walking on the river, his face as gloomy as iron.
The person he was most wary of still intervened forcefully to prevent him from attacking the Zuo family.
This guy didn't show up yesterday and didn't see the Zuo family off, which made them relax their vigilance.
Otherwise, he would not take action on the river in Xunyang County, but would choose another place.
Although delaying the process will greatly increase the variables and give the relatives, friends and allies of the Zuo family more time to react, it is still better than failing in Dongzhou.
Zhang Ming's pupils lit up immediately and his face showed joy.
He looked around and found that there was no one on the riverside within five miles.
Chu Xisheng was the only one on the river, walking alone through the water.
Several of this guy's subordinates were nowhere to be seen, and the mysterious fifth-grade master was also nowhere to be seen.
——This guy is too trusting.
Zhang Ming couldn't help but sneer: "Master Chu, why are you bothering? There is a way to heaven if you don't take it, but if there is no door to hell you just break in."
Just as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly came out of the second-story window of the ship, like two fleeting white arcs of light, heading towards Chu Xisheng.
Today they dared to cut through the mess in Xunyang with full confidence.
Those two figures are twin brothers. Both of them are at the seventh level of cultivation, but they master a set of combined sword techniques. When used together, their combat power can even exceed the ordinary sixth level.
But just when those two white arcs of light were about to intersect in front of Chu Xisheng.
A red arrow also shot from the shore several miles away.
The archer was hidden in the forest, but his arrow was as fast as light and lightning. It flew over in an instant and hit a white arc of light head-on.
The white arc light stopped, revealing the figure of a young man in white robe.
The red arrow had actually penetrated into his throat!
The young man in white robe looked in disbelief and wanted to pull the arrow out of his throat, but the next moment, the red arrow exploded, blowing the young man's neck into two pieces.
The man's head and body subsequently sank into the river.
At this time, another arc of light had already struck in front of Chu Xisheng.
This is also a young man in white robes, his pupils are filled with sadness, anger and hatred.
But now all his attention is on Chu Xisheng.
Kill this person first, then kill the hunter.
Chu Xisheng dropped his hands on his waist. Looking at him with an indifferent expression, Chu Xisheng's hand suddenly flashed like a phantom when the two sides approached eight feet apart.
Chasing the Wind Knife* comes out of nowhere!
"choke!"
As a ray of white light shone, the white-robed young man's neck was cut open with a bloody mark. Then his body and head were separated, and he fell limply next to Chu Xisheng and fell into the water.
At this time, Chu Xisheng's 'Magic Patterned Cicada Wing Knife' had returned to its sheath, as if it had never been pulled out.
Chu Xisheng himself didn't care and continued walking on the water towards the official ship.
Since he mastered the power of controlling wind and lightning, he has advanced to the sixth stage. So far, there is no seventh-grade martial arts cultivator who can let him use his ultimate sword speed.
This young man in white robe is certainly no exception.
At this time, Baihu Zhangming on the boat couldn't help but grumbled, swallowed, and looked at a lush hill by the river in disbelief.
——That’s a seventh-grade shooter! And he is a seventh-grade marksman in the top eighty on the Qingyun Ranking!
His combat power is beyond the level, comparable to a sixth-grade master!
And Chu Xisheng’s knife is so fast!
After all, Zhang Ming is also a master at the upper level of seventh rank.
But Chu Xisheng's knife was so fast that he couldn't catch it with his naked eyes.
This is the level of being ranked 29th on the Dongzhou Qingyun List.
Zhang Ming felt that his breathing became difficult.
"Arrow Array, shoot him! Don't let him board the ship."
Zhang Ming no longer cares about Sikong Xin at this time.
Eunuch Zhu's cultivation was half a level higher than that of Sikong Xin, but he was obviously no match for the former Shashenglou gold medal killer.
But Eunuch Zhu can still hold Sikong Xin down for a while even if he fights alone.
On the contrary, it was Chu Xisheng. Once this person got on the ship, it was estimated that not many people would survive on the ship.
"What are you still doing?"
Zhang Ming glared at the red-robed martial artists with boning knives in their hands: "Why don't you do it? Stop playing tricks and just behead them!"
He originally wanted these people to use boning knives to cut off the flesh of everyone in the Zuo family.
He couldn't play with Ling Chi with a thousand swords, but it was easy to kill with a hundred swords.
But in this situation, Zhang Ming only wanted to kill people. As long as he killed everyone in the Zuo family, he would have completed his errand and could escape immediately.
When the red-robed martial artists were about to chop at the necks of the Zuo family members, a large number of arrows suddenly flew towards them.
The rain of arrows that was originally aimed at Chu Xisheng was reflected by the light of the sword he slashed out.
Boom, boom, boom!
Arrows continued to shoot at the dozen or so red-robed martial artists holding boning knives.
These people can resist initially.
But they were only at the ninth level of cultivation, and they were quickly defeated. Their bodies were pierced by arrows, and finally they were nailed to the deck.
Chu Xisheng has arrived at the left side of the official ship.
He stepped on his right foot, and his whole body flew seven feet into the air like a flying swallow, far exceeding the height of the deck.
Chu Xisheng found that there was no opponent above his strength on the deck in front of him.
The corners of his lips raised slightly: "Qianqian, go help Sikong Xin! Don't let that eunuch escape, be sure to kill him!"
At this moment, two more figures flew into the air from the deck.
Both of them were holding big guns and smashed them towards Chu Xisheng with as heavy a force as a mountain.
Chu Xisheng's body moved forward in an incredible way and forced himself between the two of them.
The ultimate move* is immovable by the eight winds!
The Xunfeng Thunder Saber in Chu Xisheng's hand was split into two, and he cut off the heads of the two seventh-grade masters neatly.
Baihu Akira's expression changed drastically, and he hesitated slightly.
He suddenly strode behind Zuo Tianlu and slashed his head with a knife.
As long as Zuo Tianlu is killed, he will escape!
The Zuo family has lost this fifth-grade official who has reached the rank of county magistrate. They will also lose all their connections and official energy, and will be at the mercy of Lord Shaoqing.
However, Chu Xisheng was one step faster. His figure flashed like a ghost, and he stepped to the side of the ship half a step ahead. Then he hit Zhang Ming on the side of the head with the back of his knife, knocking him out directly.
Then Chu Xisheng held two swords in his hands and scanned the people on the boat.
"kill!"
His sword intention transformed into a ferocious beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a jackal, roaring at the people on the deck.
At this moment, the hundreds of red-robed martial artists all bleed from their orifices and froze on the spot.
This extremely close sword impact directly severely damaged their souls! They briefly lost the power to resist.
※※※※
When Baihu Akira woke up, he smelled the strong smell of blood and stench.
When he opened his eyes, he found pools of blood everywhere on the deck in front of him.
Several servants of the Zuo family were throwing the corpses of red-robed martial artists on the boat into the Shenxiu River. They brought up many ballast stones from the bilge and tied them to the legs of the corpses to ensure that they would sink to the bottom of the river and not float up.
And Eunuch Zhu, the great master in the field, is dead.
This man was dripped with corpse-transforming water, and half of his body had been transformed.
Zhang Ming looked at the corpses on the boat and was not surprised at all. Their opponent was Chu Xisheng, a young swordsman who could ride a thousand horses!
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Xisheng was a kind and generous gentleman.
But judging from the several battles this man has gone through, he is also extremely ruthless towards his enemies and will not let them leave and leave behind troubles.
Momohe Akira looked at himself again and found that he was tied to the mast of a ship. Not only was he tied with chains as thick as his arms, but there were also Zhenyuan nails driven into his body.
"The guy outside has woken up." Chu Xisheng's voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Master Zuo, what are you going to do with this Zhang Ming?"
With these words, a group of people walked out of the cabin.
Among them were Zuo Tianlu and Zuo Qingyun who had escaped from trouble, as well as Chu Xisheng and Sikong Xin.
Chu Xisheng had his hands behind his back with a calm expression, waiting for the Zuo family's decision.
If Zhang Ming is killed, the Zuo family will have no way out and will have no choice but to become bandits or live in seclusion in the mountains.
If he is not killed, it means that the Zuo family is still attached to the court and wants to get involved in the court system.
Chu Xisheng was not a bandit, nor was he Liangshanbo Songjiang. He had no habit of forcing others to join the bandit.
Therefore, he left this man's life to be decided by Zuo Tianlu and Zuo Qingyun.
Zuo Tianlu walked out of the cabin and looked at Zhang Ming, his eyes flickering.
Zuo Qingyun picked up a boning knife from the ground, green energy appeared on his face, and murderous intent overflowed.
Baihu Zhangming's heart twitched at first, and he was very anxious, knowing that the moment to decide his fate had arrived.
But then he realized that Zuo and his son did not dare to do anything to him.
He was the Jin Yiwei who escorted the two men to Beijing for trial. If he died on the road, the Zuo family would also die! Even if they entered Beijing, they would not be able to explain this matter to the court.
What's more, the person responsible for hearing their cases is still Mr. Shaoqing.
When Zhang Ming thought about this, not only did the panic on his face gradually recede, but a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
As long as he enters the capital, he will make all these people suffer, including Chu Xisheng.
It wasn't until a moment later that Zhang Ming heard a clear and crisp voice: "Master Hall Master, I think it's better to kill him, it's simple and hassle-free."
Baihu Zhangming was slightly stunned when he heard this.
It wasn't because of the murderous intent in the human voice, but because the voice was so familiar to him.
Zhang Ming followed the sound and looked over, and then saw a tall woman carrying a bow walking out of the cabin.
When he saw clearly the beautiful face of this woman, his heart sank.
——That was actually his immediate boss’s friend, Qianhu, the youngest member of Tianya Jinyiwei!
Zhang Ming instinctively wanted to spit out the words 'Master Qianhu', but under the cold gaze of the tall woman, he forcefully swallowed it back.
He realized that something was obviously wrong with the situation of the Senhu-sama in front of him.
Although the other party's facial features have not changed much, her skin has been darkened, and her eyebrows and eyes have been slightly adjusted, reducing at least 60% of her beauty.
I don’t know what this Senhu-sama wants to do when he is dressed up in such a disguise.
And just now, Lord Qianhu seemed to be calling Hall Master Chu Xisheng?
Ji Qianqian looked at Zhang Ming indifferently, with murderous intent in his eyes: "This person is a member of the Tianya Imperial Guard, but he colludes with bandits, bends the law for personal gain, uses public weapons for personal use, and murders court officials. It's best to kill him. That's it. If we help Tian Ya Jin Yi Guards get rid of harm, maybe people will be grateful to us."
She didn't expect to see such a good show this time when she came here.
People from his own Tianya Jinyiwei colluded with gangsters to murder court officials.
Zuo Tianlu was indeed accused, but the guilty officer was also an officer——
Zhang Ming looked at her like a mouse being stared at by a cat. He felt chills all over his body, his scalp was numb, and his heart was as cold as ice.
Zuo and his son could not do anything to him, but this Qianhu master could easily crush him to death.
Legend has it that this woman is not only extremely talented, but also the most outstanding rising star in Jinyiwei in recent years. She is also from the same sect as their Tianya commander.
Therefore, in Tianya Jinyiwei, the power held by this woman is even comparable to that of twelve ten thousand households!
Unfortunately, what he was doing today happened to be caught by Mr. Qianhu.
Zhang Ming's thoughts were almost overwhelmed by fear, but he gritted his teeth and did not dare to say a word.
The Qianhu in front of him not only couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, he was also famous for his strong style and cruelty.
If Zhang Ming accidentally exposes the other party's identity, this woman may even kill his entire family.
Chu Xisheng burst out laughing when he heard this. He didn't notice anything unusual between the two of them, he just thought about how murderous his subordinate was.
However, Zhang Ming's life and death cannot be overridden by him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Xisheng cast a warning glance at Ji Qianqian behind him: "This is the Zuo family's business, what does it have to do with you? Don't talk when you shouldn't."
Although this subordinate who was born as an Orion was good at martial arts, he was unruly, careless and careless in his words. He didn't care about the situation.
Ji Qianqian's pretty face sank slightly, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves slightly, but then she suppressed her anger.
Who made this guy who reprimanded him be her 'boss'?
In fact, from Ji Qianqian's point of view, there is no need to keep Zhang Ming, just kill him directly.
When she returned, she not only wanted to clean up the scum of these Tianya Jinyiwei, but also wanted to hold the young minister of Dali Temple to task.
what? How dare you send them Jin Yiwei to do something that clearly violates the law of the country.
Killing officials privately is a big taboo for Jin Yiwei. One bad move will have endless consequences. These high-ranking officials instruct the people in their royal guards to do dirty things, but they are responsible for the bad reputation. It is extremely disgusting.
Zuo Tianlu, who had been meditating for a long time, turned back to look at Chu Xisheng: "Hall Master Chu, if I leave this person alive, will it cause trouble for you?"
The young man in front of him had been a life-saving benefactor to the Zuo family.
Zuo Tianlu did not want to embark on the road of no return and became a wanted criminal, but the prerequisite was that his benefactor could not be implicated.
Not only those 'red-robed martial artists' were killed just now, but all the masters Zhang Ming brought from the capital were also killed by Chu Xisheng.
Four of them are Jin Yiwei, and one is from the palace.
Once Zhang Ming escapes safely, this will be a big crime.
Chu Xisheng smiled upon hearing this.
Zuo Juncheng is also an open-minded person.
He raised his hand, took out his Jinyiwei Deputy Baihu waist badge from his sleeve, and waved it in front of the Zuo family's father and son.
"Forgot to mention, I am also the deputy of Jinyiwei. You don't need to worry about me whatever you want to do."
Chu Xi said with a smile: "Today, the river bandits intercepted and killed the official ship. Chu happened to bump into it when he was passing here and drew his sword to help. Unfortunately, the rescue was not effective. All the brothers of Jinyiwei have died these days. I only saved you and that man." Zhang Baihu."
Zuo Tianlu and Zuo Qingyun looked at the waist badge and were stunned for a while.
The Master of Chu Hall in front of them is actually the deputy of Jin Yiwei?
Chu Xisheng shook his head and sighed with emotion at the thieves' ferocity: "What's sad is that these people were so cruel that in order to hide their identities, they actually melted the corpses of all the Jin Yiwei."
Zuo Tianlu's pupils lit up: "Hall Master Chu actually still has this identity? This will be much easier to handle."
He didn't expect Chu Xisheng's thoughts to be so careful.
Zhang Ming couldn't produce evidence that Chu Xisheng killed Jin Yiwei. Even if he reported it to the superiors, it would be nothing more than official wrangling.
As long as the person is accused of trying to shirk the responsibility of "losing his guard and causing the loss of his subordinates", the lawsuit can be turned into a mess.
What's more, Zhang Ming's own family is also full of flaws and crimes.
If a lawsuit really breaks out, Chu Xisheng may not be in trouble, but Zhang Baihu is dead.
Zuo Tianlu clasped his fists and spoke sincerely: "Then please Hall Master Chu, please spare this person's life for now! Hall Master, please rest assured, Zuo will guarantee it with his life. I will handle this matter, and Hall Master will never be implicated." .”
Chu Xisheng returned the favor and said, "That's easy to say! With Mr. Zuo's words, Chu will feel at ease."
He still believed two or three points of this person's guarantee.
Although Zuo Tianlu is in trouble, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any energy now.
This man used to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was once a member of the Qingliu in the imperial court. Later, he became a local official for some reason.
The bullets on Zuo Tian Road had brought disaster to the Zuo family.
But at the same time, this person's reputation among the court's elite can be greatly increased.
This is a loss and a gain, a drink and a peck, and misfortunes and blessings depend on each other.
The aristocratic families in Xiushui County feared the emperor and the minister of Dali Temple, and did not dare to deal with the Zuo family and his son again.
However, in the capital, in the imperial court, and in the world, there are many "Qingliu" who are stubborn, and many are colleagues of Zuo Tianlu.
A simple truth, if the young minister of Dali Temple was not worried about Zuo Tianlu, why would he need to cut him off halfway? Don't you dare to let him enter Beijing?
Ji Qianqian squinted his eyes again after listening to what the two said.
Ji Qianqian couldn't tolerate a scoundrel like Zhang Ming, and he didn't like listening to what Zuo Tianlu and Chu Xisheng said.
These two people actually communicated about this illegal and disciplinary matter in front of her.
Zuo Qingyun snorted softly. He looked at Baihu Zhangming with a livid face, and veins popped out in the hand holding the knife.
These days, this guy has given him a lot of trouble.
This person's attempt to cut their family alive just now made Zuo Qingyun even more angry.
If Zhang Ming is just let go, Zuo Qingyun's thoughts will not be smooth.
"Qingyun!"
Zuo Tianlu flicked his robe sleeves and spoke louder: "Let's save this man's life first, and then deal with him after he returns to Beijing."
There is nothing he can do about Zhang Ming now.
But once he enters the capital, with the help of his colleagues, relatives and friends, it is easy to deal with Zhang Ming.
How could he not care about the young minister of Dali Temple? How could he not care about a hundred households of royal guards?
Then Zuo Tianlu said in a hoarse voice: "But don't make it easy for him during these days in Beijing. Just let him live."
When Chu Xisheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked towards the left bank of the Shenxiu River.
In the mountain forest ten miles away, a golden and silver rainbow light suddenly burst out and flew towards the capital.
It was clearly a 'gilded silver-feathered pigeon' with the blood of Yujia.
And 'Yujia' is an ancient sacred bird, the ancestor of 90% of the birds in the world.
"Huainanzi · Xingxun": "Yujia begets a flying dragon, a flying dragon begets a phoenix, a phoenix begets a luan bird, a luan bird begets a common bird, and those with ordinary feathers are born from common birds."
Chu Xisheng immediately turned his head and looked at Ji Qianqian.
Ji Qianqian shook his head and said: "The distance is too far! Moreover, this bird's bloodline has returned to its ancestors and possesses part of Yujia's speed. My arrows cannot catch up."
In fact, we can catch up.
But now she is only a seventh-grade shooter and has to restrain most of her strength.
And Chu Xisheng's words that scolded her just now also made her particularly unhappy.
The silver-feathered pigeon was obviously a back-up left behind by the young minister from Dali Temple, who had already flown to the capital to report the news.
It is not easy for the Zuo family and his son to enter Beijing safely——
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Yesterday was Chinese Valentine's Day. Everyone knew it.
