C33 (1/2)
Of course, there was a reason to say that it was a ghost. That was because this shadow that suddenly appeared was practically a ghost. A shadow has no substance but only an image, is light and flighty... All of this fits in.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at her again. It was clear that his image had changed again.
To everyone present, it was almost inconceivable. A gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves in the courtyard and also caused that mysterious shadow to appear.
The light, the moonlight, everything was blurry.
Under the gaze of the crowd, that tall shadow was like a shining piece of satin, fluttering in the air as gently as it could.
Only a single piece of silk or a long garment could give rise to such fluctuations and movements in the wind. However, it was a person.
He was definitely a person.
In front of the wide-opened eyes of the crowd, the man was clearly standing right in front of them. He was at most three feet away from Qiu Taikou.
With such a short distance between them, he could recognize them even without using a lantern.
After the intense beating of his heart, he finally managed to calm down.
One thing was for sure, he was a real man, and a mysterious man at that.
His disheveled hair, clean appearance, and tall and thin figure were all wrapped in a shiny black long robe. Looking at him suddenly, this person seemed to be completely covered in satin, and not even the slightest trace of a cut could be seen.
In the wind dancing in the loose hair, showing a thin, gloomy face, and a pair of shining eyes. His eyes were staring straight at Qiu Taikou.
Qiu Taizong had always been such an impressive figure! He didn't expect that he would show such fear in front of the man's shining eyes. He was so nervous and his knees couldn't help trembling.
The man's eyes stared unblinkingly at Qiu Taizong's face and nodded gloomily.
”Are you the constable surnamed Qiu?”
”No …” ”Wrong.” Qiu Taiquan said.
”You want to see me?”
”Yes …” ”You are?” ”I am the person you want to meet.”
”Oh …” As he spoke, he couldn't help but take a step back. ”So …” You are the Golden Winged Child … Jin Da... ”They're in charge?” Qiu Taiquan asked.
”Not bad, you guessed correctly.”
The low, magnetic voice barely needed a voice to be heard clearly by everyone present. Due to the self-confession of the newcomer, the hearts of everyone present trembled. Tian Tian had always been on guard against the old golden chicken and the old golden chicken. At this moment, the golden chicken was right in front of them.
The moment Qiu Taizong heard that the other person had admitted his identity, he grasped the handle of his saber with his right hand, perhaps out of nervousness.
Surprisingly, the other person, known as the ”golden chicken” evil fiend, actually showed a smile on his face. However, his eyes were still glinting unblinkingly on the face of Ruan Qiu.
The grip on the handle slowly loosened.
”You can use the knife in your hand.” ”And I'll give you three chances.”
”Dang …” Head, I don't mean that. ” Qiu Taiquan said.
Qiu Taiquan could not help but take another step back. Under his watchful eyes, more people had gathered in the yard.
”Head of the Qiu Family, let go of me, our brothers are here to receive you …”
The one who spoke was Jiang Zhao, the chief general sent by the Shen Lo Battalion, with one hand on his waist and the other clutching his sword, the long sword of a horse.
Obviously, he was telling him that his men were already in ambush, and if he needed to give an order, he could shoot them all at the same time. Hehe, old golden chicken, even if you have wings on you, you still won't be able to fly away.
With this thought in mind, Qiu Taiquan felt much more at ease.
However, he still could not let his guard down. It would be easy to execute a strike, but difficult to retract his strike. He still had to have a full grasp of the situation.
The golden chicken still stood where it was, unmoving. Its hair fluttered in the night wind, and its clothes fluttered in the wind.
A strand of white hair appeared on the forehead of the golden chicken. It made people suddenly realize that he was already quite old. At the very least, he wasn't a young man anymore.
In a short period of time, the scene had changed slightly. Wang Zhilian of the Cloud Sail Wings, Hong Hou Tian of the Hong family, had quietly covered up the area to the left and right of Qiu Taizong. Meanwhile, the five guards of the Bai family stood behind Qiu Taizong with steel sabers in their hands, eager to take the third line of defense.
The three constables who had come from the yamen to check on the scribe Qian Tianyu had finished their work. The battle had already been completed and was about to begin.
It was as if none of this existed for the golden chicken. He didn't even want to turn his head. His bright eyes stared straight at Qiu Taizong.
