Ning Qing said leisurely, "Fine, as long as you release those masked men in black, I'll release you immediately."
Upon hearing this, the obese man in official robes objected and immediately said, "Take the sword away from my neck first, and then I will release the man."
Ning Qing: "No, release them first."
The obese official growled in a low voice, "Move your sword away first, then I'll release the people."
Ning Qing didn't waste any more words. He moved his sword slightly, and red blood immediately flowed out, staining the sword. The obese official immediately cried out in pain.
"Great hero, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't yell anymore, can you please keep your sword away from me?"
Only then did the obese official truly realize that his life was in the hands of the man behind him.
They become cowardly very quickly.
Ning Qing moved the sword slightly away and chuckled, "So? Will you release the person first, or will I?"
The obese official roared inwardly: You son of a bitch, don't let me catch you, or I'll tear you to pieces.
He awkwardly asked, "If I release the person, will you release me?"
Ning Qing's calm voice came through, "Of course, I'm not a butcher, I don't have the habit of slaughtering pigs."
Upon hearing this, the obese official's face turned a deep shade of liver, but knowing his life was now in someone else's hands, he swallowed all his anger and embarrassment.
All he could say was, "What makes you think I'll trust you? If I release the person, you'll release me too."
Ning Qing moved the sword in her hand a fraction of an inch, and as the obese official felt pain in his neck, she spoke, "Do you have a choice?"
Slightly overweight official...
With his life in someone else's hands, he had lost the right to negotiate and could only resign himself to his fate by shouting, "Stop it, all of you!"
A pig's squeal startled the birds in the woods and stopped everyone from drawing their swords, all turning to look in their direction.
Wu Chenxi also looked over at the obese official and saw a masked man holding a sword to Lin's neck. She wondered whether the masked man was friend or foe.
Today, I was careless and fell into someone's trap, and was surrounded by such a large group of soldiers. I had prepared for the worst, but I didn't expect this to happen, so I stopped and waited to see how things would develop.
The obese official took a deep breath, swallowing all his resentment and anger, and shouted, "Release them!"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and when they saw the sword held to his neck, they understood that he had been coerced.
Upon hearing this, the men in black exchanged glances, then all looked at Wu Chenxi. Wu Chenxi nodded slightly, gave Ning Qing behind the obese official a deep look, then turned away and used her lightness skill to leave first. Seeing this, the men in black also used their lightness skills to leave.
Once the men in black had disappeared from sight, the obese official chuckled, "Hero, I've released the man. Now you should move this thing away, shouldn't you?"
Ning Qing patted him hard on the shoulder, making him lose his footing and stumble.
He said, "Well done, no wonder you're an official."
After saying that, he put away Little Black Brother, and with a light leap, disappeared into the lush and leafy forest.
Seeing that the menacing official had left, the obese official was so angry that he raised his arm and slapped several people next to him across the face.
He angrily rebuked, "Are you all just good-for-nothings? Ah, such a big guy came over and put a sword to my neck, and not one of you even noticed, a bunch of useless trash..."
Several people around him were slapped to the ground, but he was still not satisfied, so he kicked them a few more times, cursing as he did so.
