Hearing the voice, Junior Leopard turned around in confusion and found that the man who had called him to stop was the Lieutenant Colonel who sat in front of the table and he did not know.
The Lieutenant Colonel sneered with his head high and disdainfully looked at Junior Leopard, ”who are you? You dare to trespass in this important place. Somebody, arrest him!”
Junior Leopard frowned slightly. The two soldiers standing at the entrance were anxious and frightened. One of them rushed forward and said, ”Inspector Qi, this is personal guard Zhou. He is...”
”I'm Zhou Bao, a disciple of the Wu Family!” Thinking of something, Junior Leopard took one step ahead and said, folding his hands to the young Lieutenant Colonel, ”May I have your name, please?”
”I'm Qi Ying, the Inspector of the Guard County Manor!” The young Lieutenant Colonel still held his head high with his eyes growing unkind, ”even if you're a disciple of the Wu Family, you cannot trespass on the underground fire vein. Somebody, arrest him!”
”Wait!” With a wave of his hand, the smile on Junior Leopard's face became more and more brilliant, ”Inspector, didn't you listen to me? I'm the Wu Family's disciple. Although the fire vein is of the imperial court, it is also open to the Wu Family. As a disciple of the Wu Family, how could you say I'm trespassing?”
”Bah! The underground fire vein is indeed open to the Wu Family, but it is from the 2nd day to the 7th day of every lunar month. Today is the 17th day! You're just being unreasonable! Somebody!”
”What are you talking about? Who says that today is the 17th day? Isn't it the 6th day?” shouted Junior Leopard, ”damn it! I just saw the almanac when I went out. How can it be the 17th day?”
At this time, a crowd had gathered round them, who were attracted by their voice, including the people from the Guard County Manor, the Admiral Manor, the Pei Family and the Ministry of Works.
Today was the 17th day and it was the Pei Family's turn to use the smelter. These people had their own affairs, but they were attracted by the sound from the entrance. Some people really did not know what had happened. Some people knew what had happened and paid attention to them from the moment that Junior Leopard arrived at the entrance to the underground fire vein, and it was as they had expected. Junior Leopard had been blocked outside, so they came over with a scoop mentality.
So, having heard Junior Leopard say, ”I just saw the almanac when I went out. How could it be the 17th”, the people around were stunned and then they laughed. Only a few people's facial muscles twitched, cursing secretly, ”What a cunning boy!”
Hearing his words, Qi Ying sneered, ”Today is indeed the 17th day. If you don't know the almanac, you can ask your Master's wife to teach you!”
”Damn you!” Junior Leopard gave a sneer and followed it up with a blow.
Qi Ying did not expect Junior Leopard to hit him. Seeing the punch coming, he dodged, but Junior Leopard's punch was not easy to avoid. It suddenly turned to another direction and instantly blocked his escape route.
”Bang!” Qi Ying was not a weak man; he raised his arms in time to prevent himself from being punched in the face. His face was saved, but he was pushed back more than 10 feet, the sleeves bursting, revealing a pair of silver wrist guards.
”You're so weak! Is your martial arts taught by your Master's wife?” Seeing that he had not fallen, Junior Leopard praised in his heart, but his mouth did not admit it, he acridly said, ”Why don't you call her here? How about I let her teach you after I finish teaching her?”
”Shut up!” shouted Qi Ying with anger. He jumped up with his hand at his waist, and then there was a silver flash. A silver soft sword was in his hand, which streaked through the air in a strange, wavy radian, stabbing toward Junior Leopard!
Junior Leopard lifted his hand and threw his sleeve in the air to roll over the soft sword.
”You court death!” Qi Ying shouted coldly, the soft sword in his hand shook and the sharp Sword Qi began spreading.
”Puff!” There was a gentle sound like a pan of hot oil pouring into water. ”Zi”, the sleeve had completely covered the soft sword. It expanded like a blower, affected by the Sword Qi. But, even so, his thin sleeve wasn't damaged; instead, it held the soft sword tightly. No matter how hard he pulled, he could not pull it out.
