This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 11 Kill!

At one o'clock in the evening, when the west gate was closing, three carriages drove out of the city gate.

This was the last batch of troops dispatched by the county government, and four batches had already left before.

When the carriage reached the Yulin Academy, they got off and crossed the forest path, then walked along the Nushui River for five or six miles before joining the main force.

The rules formulated by the Six Gates were to divide the troops into three groups. One group would sail down from the upper reaches of the Nushui River by boat to destroy the boats of Zhao Lin and his two villages, cutting off their possibility of escape by water. The other two groups would encircle them from the front and back. If there was no resistance, they would be captured on the spot. If there was resistance, they would be surrounded on three sides.

The personnel assigned to the yamen were given the lightest tasks, which were to block the outer perimeter and guard the small roads leading to escape routes. After the six gates were done, they would enter the area, tie up the prisoners one by one and take them back to Fengxian County.

The mission seemed easy, but it was not. Once the criminal escaped from here, the Six Gates would show no mercy. If the criminal escaped, they would be accused of spying with the criminals. They would be questioned and investigated, and they would not have a good ending.

Xiang Yuan knew that the mission would not go as smoothly as planned. If nothing unexpected happened, the two villages would break out from the path they were guarding and he would die on the spot, fulfilling the saying of bloody disaster.

At this moment, the Bagua Heart-Protecting Mirror was like a reassurance pill, making him look forward to the sudden changes tonight.

Turn bad luck into good luck!

Now that we know the evil, where is the good fortune and what is the chance for divine power?
Having said that, Xiang Yuan still decided to mention it. He was not a cold-blooded person. He would not allow his fellow constables to suffer heavy casualties just because of his opportunity, especially the four teenagers like him.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, in his world, he is still a student in school.

He was not afraid of losing the opportunity because the old Taoist taught him to follow his heart. He thought that even if something unexpected happened, it was an indispensable part of the opportunity.

When Xiang Yuan was about to say something, the carriage stopped. He followed Lao Liu and jumped off the carriage, carrying a knife and an umbrella, and tied a rope around his waist, and quickly turned into the path in the forest.

There were more than 20 people in the group, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. They hurried on their way and could cover five miles in just one cup of tea without any effort.

"Lao Liu, my heart is pounding. Do you think there is a possibility that we will have a fierce battle tonight?"

"Why, are you afraid that something unexpected might happen to the plan?" Old Liu asked with a smile.

"Ah."

"You're right to be afraid. Accidents are bound to happen. In all these years as a detective, I haven't had many smooth sailings."

Old Liu said, "But don't worry. Captain Liu is leading the team tonight. He is a master of foundation building. Lord Sima often asks him to protect him when he goes out on patrol. As long as they are not strong men from the Five Poison Sect, no matter how many bandits come from the two villages, they will not be able to touch him."

Judging from his tone, he has great respect for the head of the third squad, Liu Jingsheng.

Xiang Yuan secretly curled his lips and thanked Lao Liu for his guidance. He was just wondering what the dangerous thing looked like, and it turned out to be the Five Poison Sect.

He asked, "What if we encounter the Five Poison Sect?"

"How is that possible? The Six Gates are not here to do nothing. Even if the Five Poison Sect's villains break out of the encirclement, they should flee to the southern border. Our defense is in the north. At most, one or two small fry will escape. Captain Liu can easily deal with them."

"But there are mountains to the north, and roads lead to all directions, so the possibility of escape is greater."

"Hey, you wanna argue with me, right?"

Old Liu glared at Xiang Yuan and told him not to talk nonsense so as not to shake the morale of his side.

Xiang Yuan tried his best, but his caution could not shake the lofty image of Liu Jingsheng and the Six Gates in Old Liu's mind. Instead, it made him seem more timid and cowardly. If he continued talking, Old Liu would get really angry.

As for explaining the interests to Liu Jingsheng face to face...

Xiang Yuan thought about it and felt that he would probably be scolded and slapped in the face.

A sentence from a physiognomy book popped into my mind: 'A man of low position should not give advice, and a poor man should not reason.' It seems to make sense at first, but only in practice can you realize its true meaning.

In less than a cup of tea, the group met up with the main force. There were about eighty people in total, all dressed in black robes, carrying swords and ropes. They waited silently for any movement from the two villages not far away.

The Six Gates acted prudently and searched the surrounding area early on to make sure there were no spies or ambushes before handing the place over to Liu Jingsheng and asking him to lead a team to garrison there.

The detectives each found a place to sit on the ground. Although it was not as strict as military law, they sat back to back.

Under the moonlight, Liu Jingsheng leaned against a tree, his eyes fixed on the direction of the two villages. In this situation, if anyone dared to speak, eighty pairs of eyes would immediately look over, further discouraging Xiang Yuan's thoughts.

After about half an hour, black clouds spread out like ink, covering half of the sky. Shouts and cries of killing suddenly broke through the clouds, and there were faint flashes of fire and endless cries.

The detectives all stood up, raised their hands to hold the hilts of their knives, and according to Liu Jingsheng's request, they guarded the lonely straight path in several directions.

The shouts and cries of killing continued for a long time, and then gathered from all directions. Compared with the scattered sounds at the beginning, they had more people but lacked courage and tenacity. The trapped beast was in a desperate situation, and could only struggle for a moment at most, and could not make any big waves.

The overall situation is decided!

Seeing the fireworks exploding in the sky, Liu Jingsheng ordered all the detectives to gather: "Follow me into the village, no matter what the reason, tie up anyone you see, and don't let the children or women get stabbed in the back!"

He spoke briefly and to the point, and all the detectives obeyed his orders in unison.

Just as everyone started to move forward, Liu Jingsheng's face changed, and he suddenly drew the sword from his waist. With a powerful burst of sword energy, he chopped down the bushes ten meters away.

The ground collapsed, revealing a large pit, and another scream was heard.

typical!

Liu Jingsheng was extremely surprised. He and the constables from the Six Gates had inspected the place one after another. Logically, there should not be any tunnels.

Buzz! !

The sound of mosquitoes and flies flapping suddenly rang out, and a ball of black mist poured out from the tunnel and floated in the air, like ink spreading, turning into ghost hands that pounced towards the constables.

"You dare to show off your trivial skills!"

Liu Jingsheng shouted loudly, and several experienced old detectives came forward, including Lao Liu. Their long swords splashed white light and waved strong winds to blow away the ghost hands.

Liu Jingsheng himself stepped forward with a knife in his hand. His body was as fast as lightning, and he thrust the knife into the ground, causing an immediate scream.

The moment he drew his sword, he rolled over and jumped, stomping on the ground with his feet, while avoiding the splattering blood and the incoming arrows.

After landing, Liu Jingsheng listened to the sound to determine the position, stabbed the ground with his long sword, and chased in the tunnel, slashing and killing, causing shrill screams.

Xiang Yuan was astonished by this scene. It was no wonder that Lao Liu praised him so much. If he had such a leader, he would also be convinced.

It's true!

An inexperienced young man like Xiang Yuan was so frightened that the old detectives were not careful. They listened in private to prevent other tunnels or strong men from surrounding him and attacking and poisoning him secretly.

boom!
A figure broke out of the ground at the end of the tunnel, waved his arms, and pushed away the powerful palm force, forcing Liu Jingsheng to draw his sword to block.

He used the force to float backwards, and when he looked closely, he saw the dusty 'locals' emerging from the ground one by one.

He was dressed and looked like an ordinary villager, and was honest and simple. He wouldn't arouse suspicion when walking on the street, but his accent was stiff, and it was obvious that he was from southern Xinjiang.

"There are even Chu people here..."

I don't know what kind of kung fu the big man in the lead has practiced, his face is as pale as paint on wood, and he looks more like a zombie than a human.

I came to transport goods tonight, but was suddenly surrounded by the Six Gates. I didn't want to fight, so I took my people into the tunnel. Just in case, I deliberately went to the north. Just in case, I released poisonous insects at the end of the tunnel to make it go a little further.

Unexpectedly, they still failed to break out of the encirclement.

The incident happened suddenly and neither side was prepared, but there was one thing that both sides had a tacit understanding of.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

"kill!"
