The general who led the team seemed to have a very low-key attitude after seeing Qin Qiaoer: "Commander Qin, we have been ordered by the Marquis to help you capture the Qingtang wizard who assassinated the young Marquis."
After a few simple greetings, the conversation suddenly changed: "We are just ordinary soldiers. We can barely do battle, but we are not as professional as you adults in dealing with witchcraft and evil spirits. So when we come, we can only help you seal off the streets and alleys. Your Excellencies need to worry more about arresting people inside."
Qin Qiaoer and Qin Shaoyou did not expect these soldiers to accompany them in the attack. They came to them just to block the streets and avoid hurting innocent people, and to prevent the Qingtang wizard from finding an opportunity to escape.
Although the probability of these things is small, no matter how small it is, you still have to be on guard. Only by being prepared can you be safe.
In fact, if these soldiers were willing to go in and arrest people, Qin Shaoyou and the others would have to find an excuse to keep these soldiers outside, so as not to ruin their plans and arrangements after culling the Qingtang wizard.
Although she was very satisfied in her heart, Qin Qiaoer still pretended to be angry.
After arguing with the general for a few words, she made sure that the other party's attitude was resolute and that there was no need for oil and salt. Then she gave up angrily and said: "When this matter comes to an end, I will definitely file a complaint against you to the Marquis of Dongchuan!"
The general said in his heart that this is what the Marquis asked me to do. If you go and file a complaint against me, he will not punish me, but will reward me. However, he pretended to say: "Commander Qin, just go ahead. I am doing this for The lives of the brothers under my command are considered. Even if the Marquis punished me and caused me to lose my official position, I still have a clear conscience and no regrets."
The soldiers under his command all looked moved.
But this is also an act.
In fact, these soldiers were cursing in their hearts: If you hadn't enriched your own pockets and deducted our food and wages, we could barely believe that you were a good official. But now, we only hope that one day the Marquis will really open his eyes and make you lose your official position!
The general didn't know that the soldiers under his command were so 'loved' towards him, nor did he know that these guys were so bold and wanted to 'open the eyes' of the Marquis.
After talking to Qin Qiaoer, he ordered his soldiers to disperse around Xu Jiangjia's house and control the streets.
Qin Shaoyou saw that these soldiers moved quickly and had good discipline. Although the individual strength was not very strong, each team was acting in formation, and he knew that they should be the elite of the border army. He whispered: "These soldiers are really good." He also has some abilities, it seems that although Marquis Dongchuan wants us to fight with the Qingtang Wizard, both of us will lose, but he is not willing to let the Qingtang Wizard escape."
Cen Biqing, who had never been very fond of speaking, squinted her eyes and stared at the soldiers for a moment, then suddenly said: "Just be afraid, they not only don't want the Qingtang wizard to escape, but they also don't want us to leave here alive. "
Qin Shaoyou raised his brows: "We really have to be on guard against such a situation. Liao Tixue and others are not here today. If the Marquis of Dongchuan really wants to harm us, he will kill us and say that we have fought with the Qingtang wizard. We all died together, even if Liao Tixue and others suspected it afterwards, I'm afraid it would be difficult to have evidence."
He immediately found Taoist Tuhuang, got a large number of talismans from him, and gave them to Cai Guizhong's undercover talismans, asking them to hide these talismans around. They even secretly hid some on the soldiers, just in case.
While doing these things, Qin Shaoyou started [Bian Ting] and [Miao Bi] to determine the situation in Xu Jiangjiang's home.
"There is no one else in the house. Except for the Qingtang wizard who has taken the body and reincarnated, there are only craftsman Xu and his wife. Without further delay, let's start now, so as not to delay it for a long time and let the Qingtang wizard who has taken the reincarnation notice. .Although the Qingtang wizard has lost his cultivation after his reincarnation, since he has made so many preparations in advance, there may be something strange in this room, or even in the bodies of Craftsman Xu and his wife. After everyone enters, Qian Be careful and don’t be careless!”
"clear."
Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and other old guys under Qin Shaoyou nodded.
They were not only used to Qin Shaoyou's cautiousness, but were even deeply affected.
For example, at this moment, they were preparing for the war. In addition to hiding a lot of weapons on their bodies, they also hid small shields, iron pieces and other objects in key parts such as their heart and crotch.
This scene made the red-clothed envoy under Qin Qiaoer frown secretly and thought to himself, does it make sense to do these things while wearing armor?
Qin Qiao'er noticed the reactions of his men, his face darkened, and he scolded: "I tell you to be careful, just do it, you are right to be cautious. Pengshanhe, take the lead, knock the door open, and the others will rush in. Be sure to do it." We must take down the three people in the house as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
The red-clothed envoys all whispered their orders.
The man named Peng Shanhe is a burly man with a figure comparable to that of a horse monk.
He jumped out of his hiding place and rushed towards Craftsman Xu's house.
Wearing heavy armor, he was like a human-shaped iron ball that slammed into the door of Craftsman Xu's house.
The thin wooden door could not withstand the impact of Peng Shanhe, and was smashed to pieces in an instant.
The red-clothed envoys who followed him rushed into Craftsman Xu's home one after another, while leaving some people outside to guard and support.
Inside the house, Craftsman Xu and his wife were frightened by the sudden change.
Seeing the armor everyone was wearing, they thought there was a mutiny in the city, and they were so frightened that they quickly begged for mercy:
"Master, have mercy on us. We are just poor craftsmen. Not to mention money, we don't even have enough food for one more day. If you want to collect food and wages, go to the wealthy families in the city..."
Peng Shanhe, who was the first to rush into the house, shouted: "The red-clothed messenger is handling the case! Everyone squat down with their heads in their hands!"
Immediately afterwards, he saw the child being breastfed by Craftsman Xu's wife, pulled out his knife and pounced on it.
At the same time, he did not forget to release his blood energy to guard against possible dangers inside the house.
Craftsman Xu had never heard of the red-clothed messenger, but he was still surprised when he heard the word "handling the case."
"Handling the case? Sir, did you make a mistake? We are all good people, big good people."
Perhaps seeing Peng Shanhe rushing towards his wife and children, Craftsman Xu actually wanted to stop Peng Shanhe, but he pushed him behind him.
"If I ask you to hold your head and squat down, then squat down, otherwise you will be treated as an accomplice!"
Peng Shanhe passed Craftsman Xu and was about to rush towards the target, but he heard a reminder from behind: "Be careful!"
He was startled and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late.
A powerful and sharp force hit his back hard, instantly piercing a hole in the armor he was wearing.
Fortunately, Peng Shanhe listened to Qin Shaoyou's reminder. After entering the house, he kept pumping blood throughout his body. After encountering a sneak attack, he immediately gathered it in the back and blocked the sneak attack behind him, although he was slightly injured. , but fortunately it was not fatal.
Peng Shanhe, who was in pain, turned around and saw a shrill and sharp sword light, rushing towards Craftsman Xu to kill him.
"Uh-huh!"
The sword swung by Qin Shaoyou cleanly cut off Craftsman Xu's head.
But Craftsman Xu did not die.
His head actually flew up and hovered in the air. He was shouting and his face was ferocious and terrifying.
And underneath the broken neck, not only was there no blood flowing out, but instead there were strips of bone-like tendon-like things sticking out!
At the same time, Craftsman Xu's headless body did not fall down, but continued to pounce on Peng Shanhe, unexpectedly throwing him to the ground without noticing.
