Chapter 70 (1/2)
70 Xu Qi ‘an, I’m going to the Imperial Academy to avenge my humiliation (1)
He could actually predict the position of the monster after it entered the water … And it accurately shot through the brain … His keen insight and judgment were simply terrifying … As a woman, Lu Qing was the head constable of the government office and she was able to suppress all the heroes. She was proud of herself.
However, at this moment, she was completely convinced by Xu Qi ‘an’s divine skill and admitted defeat.
not only was he strong, but he was also humble and low-key, much better than those men who looked down on women.
Whoosh … If it wasn’t for the fact that the monster was injured and poisoned, and there was a layer of water between them, I might not have been able to hit it with one arrow … Xu Qi ‘an put away the military crossbow, feeling a little regretful. This crossbow could only be shot three times, and its durability was too poor.
After three shots, it would become an ordinary military crossbow.
It was supposed to be used to save his life, but it was a pity to use it against demons.
Lu Qing followed his gaze and also noticed the ordinary-looking military crossbow. When he saw it, he was immediately shocked.
The military crossbow was engraved with complicated and mysterious formation patterns. When he thought of the Qi movement when the arrow was shot out, it was not difficult to guess that it was a magic weapon.
The gong was the only magic tool for the night watchman … This was his private property? When he said that he could invite a sorcerer from the Directorate of Celestials, he was not bragging … Lu Qing’s impression of this man changed again, and his favorability increased.
Xu Qi ‘an turned sideways to stop her from looking at her baby. He smiled and said, ”
“If we don’t fish it up, it will be flushed away. What a great contribution.”
Lu Qing pursed his lips and chuckled reservedly as he nodded.
The two of them entered the river together and dragged the monster’s body ashore.
At this moment, song tingfeng supported Zhu guangxiao and walked out of the forest unsteadily.
“You killed it?” Song tingfeng couldn’t hide his smile, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
The reticent Zhu guangxiao let out a long breath.
“How are you?” Xu Qi ‘an was concerned about Zhu guangxiao’s injury.
it’s nothing, ” the man with the sealed gourd shook his head. I just broke two ribs.
The four of them rested by the riverbank for a while, and the two constables in the spirit refinement realm led the chief down the mountain.
When the chief saw the monster’s corpse, he was both angry and afraid. He carefully stepped forward and gave it a kick, then fled with an agile posture that a bad old man should not have.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that there was no response, he was relieved. He rushed over and punched and kicked, unable to rage.
After venting his anger, the village chief knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qi ‘an and the others.
Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand. let me ask you. When was the cave in the South mined? ”
The chief Officer thought for a moment. that’s a kiln left behind in the past. There’s not much limestone in the South, and the road is difficult to walk on. It was abandoned many years ago. This old man, I wonder when it was mined to this extent.”
“Did people go there often in the past?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“It doesn’t cut off human traces,” the chief said.
‘Can’t you just say that someone leaves occasionally? why are you arguing with me …’ “You should go back first and wait for the official to summon you,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
The old man had been kicked by Zhu guangxiao and was slightly injured. Xu Qi ‘an saw that he had been holding his waist.
Lu Qing had no objection to Xu Qi ‘an’s way of handling things. He immediately asked a colleague to send the chief back.
The rest of the people began to meditate to recover their strength and replenish their water and food.
Fifteen minutes later, the three horses dragged the monster’s corpse and slowly walked on the official road.
On the way, Lu Qing vividly described Xu Qi ‘an’s godly operation, and his words were filled with admiration.
Song tingfeng approached Xu Qi ‘an on his horse and said in a low voice, “”She seems to have a good impression of you,”
“What do you want to say?” Xu Qi ‘an replied in a soft voice.
“Constable Lu is quite famous in the six Fan School in the capital, and he’s still unmarried,” song tingfeng said. Every man desires to be a loner on a certain path, don’t you think so?”
In this era, they were considered old leftover women … “Work hard,” Xu Qi ‘an smiled.
Song tingfeng squinted his eyes, sighed and shook his head, “”A person like me is only suitable for the Imperial Academy.”
“Even if the tree-lined path you’re looking forward to is covered in frost every morning and dusk?” Xu Qi ‘an laughed.
Zhu guangxiao frowned, not understanding what his two colleagues were talking about.
“By the way, what was that move you used just now?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“Howling wind swordsmanship.” Song tingfeng said.
Swordsmanship … The knife technique that Constable Lu had used in the battle was also a unique skill … Wait, sword technique?
Xu Qian stared at the knife on song tingfeng’s waist.
“Who said that a saber can’t be used with a sword?” song tingfeng shrugged.
That’s right, that’s right, who said that one couldn’t kill someone without a spearhead? Xu Qian cursed in his heart.
As they talked and laughed, they saw a group of commoners coming from the road and gathering toward the official road.
The one leading them was the chief Officer, as well as the refined bailiff who had sent him back.
“They insisted on coming over to thank us.” The constable shook his head helplessly.
The chief held a basket of eggs in his hand and held it high in front of Xu Qi ‘an. these are all the eggs that our village has gathered. Sir, please accept them.
In the past six months, we really couldn’t live happily anymore. If it wasn’t for the several Daren helping us to eradicate the evildoers, to say that we are lawless and can’t pay the taxes, we could only escape and become refugees.”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at the chief’s nervous eyes and swept his gaze over the sallow and emaciated faces of the gray households.
“Alright!” He took the basket of eggs with a smile and hung it on the saddle.
The surrounding people smiled. Only now did they dare to talk loudly, pointing at the monster’s body and cursing.
If I insist on not doing it, I will tell them loudly, “He did not take a single needle or thread from the commoners!
They would probably be frightened.
Xu Qi ‘an sighed.
……
After returning to the capital, the monster’s body was collected by the bailiffs waiting outside the city. They pulled the cart, covered it with a white cloth, and cleaned up the traces before entering the city.
the saltpeter mine is not a small matter. I have to report it. Song tingfeng cracked an egg and swallowed the liquid.
