Chapter 135 Teasing
when!
Finally, the sound of metal clashing was heard, and Xuanji Wei's sword was blocked for the first time.
The person who came was Lingo, the secret guardian of the Mint. He was strong and wielded a steel stick that had been tempered a hundred times.
In a head-on attack, the power of the stick is naturally far stronger than that of the sword, but he was forced to retreat half a step.
"To trespass into the Mint and kill officials is an unforgivable crime of treason!"
"Xuanji Guards investigated the case and found that they minted counterfeit coins. Their crime is unforgivable!"
The masked man changed his previous stealth style and spoke in a loud and resounding voice that could be heard from far away.
Sharp whistles sounded one after another, and the town troops were gathering quickly, but when they heard these words, many of them stopped in their tracks.
Bad money...the case has been discovered!
The foundry's chief clerk's expression changed drastically, and he immediately avoided the crowd and ran towards the village gate.
The old chief clerk ran in the heavy rain, gasping for breath.
"Master Cao!" The guard supported the old man who was about to fall. "What happened to you?"
"Hurry..." The old clerk was hunched over, and in his anxiety he choked on his saliva and started coughing violently.
He tightly grasped the guard's arm, "Hurry... tell the prince... the crime has happened... the Xuanji Guards... are here..."
The guard's eye sockets were bulging, his pupils were frozen in the middle, and his jaw was drooping as if he had lost strength.
"Don't just stand there... go!"
The gatekeeper came to his senses after hearing the calls, staggered out, and tried several times before he was able to get on the horse.
"Gee!" He urged his horse to go quickly.
Watching his figure disappear, the old chief clerk's legs went weak and he fell to the mud, but he immediately got up in a panic.
"Quick, organize everyone to retreat!"
In front of the government office, the battle was in full swing.
Lingo danced with his long stick tightly, and the clanging sound of collisions was endless.
The fight seemed to be close, but Lingo kept retreating.
His stick skills are as fierce as a tiger, with great force and heavy impact. With the support of the fourth-grade strength, the destructive power of the long stick is extremely astonishing, and he takes the approach of overcoming ten skills with one force.
But today, Lingo was forced to defend himself blindly by a long sword and could not find any chance to fight back.
Not only that, he could clearly sense that the other party still had some strength left, and he actually became the mouse being toyed with by the cat!
laugh!
With a crisp sound, a seven or eight inch gash appeared on the left shoulder.
Lingo was shocked. The wound was very shallow, but he had no idea how he was injured. The enemy was clearly right in front of him!
The third rank... is it actually the Divine Martial Realm?
If that's the case, why bother pretending to fight him?
Lingo wanted to speak out to remind him, but every time he opened his mouth, the other party suddenly increased his strength, forcing him to have no time to care about anything else.
But in the eyes of outsiders, they fought back and forth and it was difficult to tell who was who.
The garrison troops gathered and surrounded the open space in front of the government office, with swords drawn, waiting for the outcome of the battle, while other officials and miners were organizing their evacuation in an orderly manner.
One cup of tea, two cups of tea... After an incense stick of time, Lingo's breathing gradually became heavy.
The fourth-grade true qi can transform every part of the body and bones, forming its own small and large circulations that are endless, but it cannot withstand the constant consumption of all one's strength.
There were hundreds of tiny wounds all over his body, and his clothes were torn to pieces, but each wound was very minor.
In the time it took to stick up an incense stick, every blow could easily take his life, but he brushed shoulders with death time and time again. Lingo's will was on the verge of collapse.
Bang!
The next moment, the long stick was picked up and flew away, and Lingo's middle door opened wide.
laugh!
The long sword pierced Lingo's body. Unlike when he pierced the inspector Qian Cheng, this time it pierced his heart.
Under the surge of true energy, all his life force was cut off in an instant.
The man stood there, brandishing his sword and shaking off the blood stains on the tip of the sword.
He turned back and stared at Chen Yuheng, the inspector of money, "Do you have the account books?"
Chen Yuheng gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with flames that seemed to burn people, "No!"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared out of thin air among the surrounding garrison troops.
The massacre has begun...
The flowing flame wraps itself tightly with its "force", preventing any leakage, thus reducing the possibility of being discovered.
When he arrived at the Mint, he found a large number of officials and miners fleeing in the rain.
He walked hurriedly with a look of panic on his face.
Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat. No way, they were already so careful, and they still got the news in advance? Who leaked it?
No longer suppressing speed, he rushed into the Mint with all his strength.
Just when he was halfway there, he suddenly felt a sharp pricking pain on the back of his neck, and he quickly turned around and swung the iron fan.
when!
At the critical moment, the main bone of the iron fan blocked the long sword that was stabbing out of nowhere.
Liu Yan saw the person clearly, it was the sorcerer who assassinated the eldest princess on the riverbank.
"It's you!"
Yan Wujiu remained silent and just kept stabbing.
Liu Yan knew that something was wrong and didn't know what the sorcerer was planning. The only good news was that Yin Zhe was guarding the princess.
But this time there was no other involvement. The opponent came up and attacked with all his strength. He didn't dare to be distracted and went all out.
On the other side, the gatekeeper finally arrived at Prince Rui's manor at full speed. His legs were shaking when he got off his horse, and he crawled to the gate.
"Who are you?"
After knocking on the door frantically, he was soon surrounded by the manor guards.
"Quick, inform the prince that the Xuanji Guards broke into the Mint and killed someone!"
After saying this, the gatekeeper lost his temper, fell to the ground with a thud, and gasped for breath.
The guard knew that the matter was of great importance, so he asked someone to help the gatekeeper stand guard.
Soon, the news reached King Rui's ears, "Who are you talking about?"
"According to the gatekeeper, it was the Xuanji Guards!"
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes, his mind racing for a moment.
Then he suddenly stood up and rushed to the backyard without saying a word. He ran very fast, followed by guards both openly and secretly.
"Your Highness!"
A loud voice called out from the courtyard, and the two sisters recognized the owner of the voice.
The two of them hurried over under the protection of their maids and saw the manor guards who occupied half of the yard.
Qin Zhaoqiong stepped out from the crowd and bowed to Prince Rui, "What is the purpose of your visit, Your Highness?"
Since they met, the King Rui always called her "Big Girl" or "Sixth Girl", and this was the first time he used the official title.
Standing opposite him now, his face no longer had the gentleness and kindness of the past, but his expressionless face exuded a sense of majesty.
"The servants have reported that someone broke into the Mint and killed innocent people."
Qin Zhaoqiong's face was as gloomy as water. "It's a serious crime to trespass into the Mint. Who is so reckless?"
Prince Rui stared into her eyes, "Xuan Ji Wei."
Qin Zhaoqiong frowned. Killing innocent people? How could it be possible!
Liu Yan would definitely sneak in quietly. Not to mention killing people, he would definitely be careful to hide his whereabouts and look for clues.
Unless something unexpected happens, we have to take action.
"Hidden sting!"
Yin Zhe and Liu Yan were one bright and one dim. She immediately took a step forward and said, "I am here."
"Did the Xuanji Guards break into the Mint?"
"I don't know, but the Xuanji Guards monitor the world and investigate cases. They will never kill people without reason."
Prince Rui's eyes were dark and unclear. "Since this is still a misunderstanding, why not ask His Highness to accompany us so that we can expose the villain's identity in person?"
Qin Zhaoqiong's gaze did not shift at all, and she met the other person's gaze calmly.
After a moment's hesitation, he nodded, "Okay."
