Chapter 373 The Price of Watching the Fun
The moment the spear was thrust out, Yuan Ziping seemed to have eyes behind his head. He turned around suddenly, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the tip of the spear!

At the same time, the soldiers behind the squad leader also shouted in unison, lowered their guns and stabbed at Yuan Ziping!
Yuan Ziping's scalp tingled. If he was stabbed, he would have a hard time surviving!
At the same time, the carriage door curtain seemed to be blown up by the wind, and a corner was lifted up.

Three figures shot out like lightning.

Yuan Ziping grabbed the spear in the captain's hand. He frowned and was about to exert force, but the next moment, he could not feel his hand.

Looking down, he saw that both his arms were cut off along with the gun barrel. The cut was as smooth as a mirror and slid downwards little by little.

There was no time for the blood to bleed, and he didn't even have time to feel the pain.

In an instant, his pupils shrank to the size of needle points.

Yuan Ziping was stunned.

He didn't even have the time to snatch the spear from the opponent's hands before both of his hands were cut off!
When the young captain felt the pain and subconsciously wanted to scream, a hand had already covered his mouth tightly.

That's Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou stood behind the team leader, covered his mouth with both hands, and chuckled, "Don't shout, don't scream, I may not kill you, I hope you don't make trouble for yourself."

"Um, um..." The team leader struggled, waving his two broken hands in vain, and blood spilled all over the ground.

Yuan Ziping held a half-broken gun in his hand. When Fu Qingzhou covered the squad leader, he wanted to stab him with his backhand. However, after hearing the words "I may not kill you", he gave up the decision and turned his gaze to the soldiers behind the squad leader, intending to help.

Then, he realized that he didn't need any help...

After just one encounter, all the soldiers fell down.

Qiu Chan held the soft sword in her hand, her body movements flickering. The soft sword was like a ferocious and insidious poisonous snake, and each bite was accurate at the enemy's throat and heart.

Next to her, there was a floating snow-white sword.

The small sword whizzed like lightning and pierced through the bodies of several soldiers in an instant.

After a blink of an eye, Qiu Chan stopped and swung the soft sword. Not a drop of blood was left on the sword, and it returned lightly to her waist.

The small sword suddenly flew back to the carriage and went into Tang Jiao's sleeve.

Tang Jiao gently patted Zhu Mei's hand and said softly, "It's okay."

Outside, Yuan Ziping was stunned.

His most recent job was as a bodyguard for the Wulin Alliance, but... he had never seen the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Conference.

Because during the conference, he was the busiest time in all his years as a guard...

Those martial artists who were watching the excitement in the audience did not need guards to maintain order. Firstly, such occasions were meant to be lively and not serious. Secondly, all the people sitting on the stage were big shots, so who would dare to cause trouble?

What they are on guard against are some people who might secretly cause trouble while the Wulin Alliance is holding a conference and is short of manpower.

Therefore, during that period of time, Yuan Ziping was patrolling everywhere.

Although he could hear the cheers and exclamations coming from the venue not far away, and knew that the young master he was following was very powerful, he had never seen him in person.

Until now...

He didn't even see how Fu Qingzhou made his move before the team leader's arm was gone!

Even Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao, who were only among the Hundred Heroes, disabled a group of soldiers with just one move!
As he was thinking, he heard Fu Qingzhou start to speak in a low voice.

"Now, I will let you go."

Fu Qingzhou said to the team leader, "But you'd better not shout. You came out to make money. Although you have lost your hands, you still have your cultivation. It shouldn't be difficult to make a living. There's no need to risk your life, right?"

The team leader's hands were broken. He was pale with pain, sweating profusely, tears in his eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

So Fu Qingzhou gently let go of his hand.

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask." The team leader stuttered as soon as his mouth was released.

Fu Qingzhou smiled gently: "Tell me first, what are your identities."

"We...are a group of killers."

The team leader slumped his neck and said with trembling lips: "We stole some of the soldiers' armor and thought about disguising ourselves..."

"Sir, he is lying to you." Yuan Ziping interrupted in a deep voice: "He recognizes my Imperial Guards armor. He is a real soldier and must have had a lot of contact with the Imperial Guards!"

Hearing this, the team leader's face suddenly changed.

"Haha, you're still lying to me?" Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Old Yuan, it seems that this man has to be handed over to you for trial."

After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the team leader towards Yuan Ziping like a broken sack.

Yuan Ziping stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately kicked the captain's knees with lightning speed! With two clicks, the kneecaps were immediately dented!

The team leader suddenly knelt down. The severe pain made his eyes widen instantly. He wanted to scream, but Yuan Ziping pushed the tip of the gun in his hand into his mouth.

"Don't move, don't shout, I'll ask you a question, and you nod or shake your head."

Yuan Ziping said coldly: "If I am not satisfied, your tongue will be mashed into a meat paste... Do you understand what I said?"

The team leader opened his mouth, biting the tip of the gun, and trembling all over. He could only nod weakly. The tip of the gun swayed up and down as he nodded. It was very stable and did not hurt him at all.

"Very good, tell me, are you from the imperial guards of the capital?" Yuan Ziping asked.

The captain shook his head slightly.

"Oh?" Yuan Ziping narrowed his eyes: "Then you are from the patrol camp?"

The team leader nodded.

At this time, Qiu Chan had stood beside Fu Qingzhou, crossed her arms and smiled, "It seems that the driver that Wulin League found for you is very capable."

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "I'm not surprised that Old Yuan has studied in Mingjian Pavilion."

Next, Yuan Ziping asked several questions in succession and quickly determined the identity, background, and purpose of the team leader.

He is the squad leader of the Beijing Patrol Battalion, responsible for patrol and security work outside the capital.

The reason he came to Xiqing Town this time was, of course, to seek wealth - the underworld wanted warrants were posted everywhere, and it was close to the capital, so he was tempted. He wanted to use his status, take a few brothers in the team, and take a gamble together.

"Old Yuan, ask him."

Fu Qingzhou listened and suddenly asked, "Why is he targeting us?"

Yuan Ziping nodded, lowered his head and said to the team leader: "You heard me - I will withdraw the tip of the gun, but don't try to play tricks. It's easier for us to kill you than to kill a chicken."

The team leader was in tears and nodded continuously.

After the tip of the gun was withdrawn, he coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice that was trembling with pain: "We know that the woman Wu Yan wants is in your car..."

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank.

Qiu Chan beside him also looked gloomy: "How did you know?"

"Someone, someone told us..."

The team leader trembled and said, "As soon as we arrived at Xiqing Town, a carrier pigeon delivered a letter. It was written very clearly... saying that there was a carriage from Xiqing Town to the capital, and the woman was on the carriage."

Fu Qingzhou sighed softly.

"Sir." Yuan Ziping's expression became extremely solemn: "It seems like we are being watched."

Fu Qingzhou raised his head and smiled at him: "No need to seem, it's certain - what do you think?"

Yuan Ziping shook his head: "Sir, I am just your driver. I will do whatever you decide."

"Haha, well said. Looks like I'll have to give you a raise."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Well, I'll give you two choices."

"Although Zhu Mei is Wu Yan's woman, I promised him to protect her, so I will not abandon her."

"Although the journey to the capital is not far, it will be a bloody journey. You are just a coachman, there is no need to take the risk."

"You can leave now, I'll give you some money... but if you choose to stay..."

When he was talking about this, Yuan Ziping suddenly interrupted him: "Sir, I want to stay."

Fu Qingzhou said "Oh?" curiously, "I haven't told you yet what will happen if you stay."

"Sir, you are a hidden dragon."

Yuan Ziping laughed and said, "When I left Luoyi, I saw how many people wanted to be your driver."

"Everyone who has come out to make a living has to live on the edge of a knife. At least you are kind-hearted. I don't have to commit crimes if I follow you. And... your future is limitless. Following you, I have a bright future."

Fu Qingzhou burst into laughter.

"Very good, in that case, I won't be hypocritical, and I won't make random promises."

He walked forward and patted Yuan Ziping on the shoulder: "Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you - now, let's get on the road."
