The hands holding Lu Ping and Xi Fan gradually lost their strength. Qi Xing had a look of disbelief on his face, but his wide eyes eventually dimmed, and his greed, desire, and ambition disappeared with them.
who?
This seems to be unimportant to the dead Qi Xing, but to the surviving Lu Ping and Xi Fan, it is very important.
Who could it be?
They were thinking as they searched for each other.
The number of people they knew in Zhiling City was very limited, and the number of people who would take the risk of killing the commander of the Hospital Supervisory Committee to help them could be counted on one hand.
Xiu Zhiping, Shi Ao, and Wen Yan were the only three they could think of, but none of them were known to be good at using bows and arrows. Moreover, this arrow came silently, as if it had been silenced by the sound soul. This was not something that those three abilities could do. But this kind of thing...
The suspense didn't last long. The person had appeared, but it was very different from what a few people thought.
After considering the silencing process, several people immediately thought of Amaterasu Dean Yunchong, but among the three people who finally walked out from three street corners, there was no Yunchong, and none of them even knew them.
who? They saw it.
However, they still have this doubt about who they are.
There were three of them, two men and one woman. Judging from their age and attire, they didn’t look like they were from the academy. After appearing, he kept observing the surroundings. He seemed to be more wary than Lu Ping and his group, who had offended the two major forces and were running away.
"You..." As soon as Xi Fan said two words, the other party had already sped up their movements. A man and a woman walked up. Without greeting Lu Ping and the others, they picked up the two corpses. The technique of destroying corpses and eradicating traces had reached the point where practice makes perfect. The other man, with a bow on his shoulder, seemed to be the one who saved Lu Ping and Xi Fan. The three of them seemed to be headed by him, and the two came over to move the bodies at his signal, while he walked straight towards them.
"You ruined our plan, but I still saved you. But this is not repaying kindness with hatred." As if he couldn't tell that Lu Ping and the others were still wary, this one spoke carelessly. What he said left Lu Ping and the others baffled.
"Because it's obvious that you are not from the City Lord's Mansion. Not at all." The man continued.
"So although you took action to destroy, you did not have a position. You were just dissatisfied with what happened at that time. If you are dissatisfied with the behavior of any party, you will take action."
"So even though you killed Zhong Liang in the end, you actually helped him. You protected us."
"So, even if you kill my biological brother, I don't blame you at all."
This man said many things in one breath, and in the end he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, reaching out and patting Lu Ping on the shoulder.
"Above, what's your problem?" He asked again immediately.
"Yes." Lu Ping said.
"You say." the other party replied.
"Who are you?" Lu Ping asked.
"My name is Zhong Qian, the brother of Zhong Liang you killed." The other party said.
"So who is Zhong Liang?" Lu Ping continued to ask.
"The person you killed, did you kill so many people that you can't remember which one he was?" Zhong Qian said with a frown.
"If you tell me more clearly, I will know." Lu Ping said.
"That night at Xiafeng Mountain..."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Ping knew immediately.
The night we passed through Xiafeng Mountain from Xiafeng City to Zhiling District. He did kill people. One of the three assassins who came to kill Wei Tianqi was killed by him. But as the man in front of him said, he did not take action because he wanted to help Wei Tianqi. He took action only because the assassin at the time controlled innocent Xiafeng Academy students to serve as hostages. He would eventually kill the assassin, also at the assassin's own request. He did not forget the gratitude shown by the assassin when he killed him, and Wei Ming's anger afterwards.
The assassin he killed was named Zhong Liang, and now he knew his name. And the person standing in front of me. It's Zhong Liang's brother, Zhong Qian.
It was such a guy who started chattering hastily as soon as he came up, but he was extremely rational and even understood Lu Ping's behavior at that time in a cold-blooded way. He was not disturbed at all by the fact that the person he killed was his biological brother.
"So?" Lu Ping asked.
"I came here just to find out about this matter. It's very clear now. We are not enemies, maybe we can become friends." Zhong Qian said, patting Lu Ping's shoulder again. No matter what, Lu Ping was still the one who killed his biological brother. But now, he is talking about wanting to be friends with Lu Ping.
Many people would probably be very touched. This kind of consideration is really rare. Everyone would be willing to make this friend.
But Lu Ping didn't.
Because he never felt that he had anything to consider.
He took action just because he wanted to save people.
He kills people just because the other party asks.
He was justified and didn't feel aggrieved, so why did he need any consideration?
So when he looked at Zhong Qian, he was not moved at all. He just nodded. He just had some agreement with Zhong Qian's behavior and felt that it was very logical to deal with it this way.
It's logical, but it's not human nature. Zhong Qian put aside the point of human nature, but Lu Ping was also someone who ignored this.
Therefore, Lu Ping was not moved by Zhong Qian's attitude.
But Lu Ping was grateful for Zhong Qian's behavior.
"Thank you for saving us." Lu Ping said. What he was grateful for was only Zhong Qian's arrow. Without that arrow, he, Xi Fan, and even the five of them would have been taken care of by Qixing. Then The difficulty is not much different from picking up corpses.
"No need." Zhong Qian waved his hand, "Anyway, you did protect us by killing Zhong Liang. For this reason, I should save you. What's more, we seem to have a common enemy."
The main palace of Xiafeng City.
Of course, the enemy Zhong Qian mentioned was this. They sent assassins to assassinate Wei Tianqi, and their hostility towards the main palace of Xiafeng City could not be more obvious.
"Who are you?" Lu Ping asked. He noticed that "we" appeared frequently in Zhong Qian's words instead of "I". It was obvious that he was not representing an individual, but a powerful group.
"We are nightingales." Zhong Qian said.
"I've heard of this name." Lu Ping said. He had heard this term while chatting with Su Tang. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he at least knew that Nightingale was a rebel organization. Their target against the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion was not just a personal vendetta. They were on the side of the entire Xuan Dynasty. The opposite side of the military empire is wreaking havoc.
"Zhong Qian is my real name. You may know more about my other name," Zhong Qian said.
"What is it?" Lu Ping asked.
"Arrow God!" Zhong Qian said.
Lu Ping scratched his head: "Did you do it yourself? Are you a little too proud?"
