The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 11 Death Fight
Zhao Dehua jumped up and down, and in an instant he was in front of the masked woman, and his hands turned into claws to attack her vital points!

Don't think he is weak and can be bullied just because he seemed friendly and easy to talk to.

An old man is an old man, he won't look for trouble unless there is something to do. But if he can't avoid it and starts fighting, he will kill with his first move.

He grabbed with his hands, making a sound of breaking wind, and was about to lift up the masked woman's head and dig out her eyeballs.

Faced with the dangerous attack, the masked woman did not dare to be careless. She formed a palm with her fingers and moved towards Zhao Dehua's arms.

Bang!
The two men's arms collided, causing a dull sound; it was obvious that both of them were using all their strength.

Zhao Dehua's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself that this was not good.

He saw that the masked woman was young and her internal and external skills were probably not as good as his, so he planned to use force and overpower her from the start.

But after this fight, he knew that this woman's skills were not inferior to his in any way!
The masked woman held Zhao Dehua's arms and put her hands on his joints.

Zhao Dehua naturally couldn't let her control him, and the two exchanged several moves, with their fingers and palms constantly attacking each other's vital points, but they were constantly being blocked. When both sides were about to run out of breath, they fought each other at the same time and withdrew.

The two men stood still, and the masked woman's arm was scratched with several wounds, and blood dripped out.

Zhao Dehua's right arm joint was also pecked by the masked woman's fingers, and it began to swell and ache.

It looked like the masked woman was more seriously injured, but in fact it was Zhao Dehua who suffered the loss.

The masked woman's wound was only on the skin, which did not affect her attack. But Zhao Dehua's wound was on his bones, and his right arm would definitely not be as flexible as usual, so he would suffer if he continued to fight.

But no matter what, blood had been shed and real anger had been ignited.

The masked woman was determined to kill, and with Zhao Dehua's companion and daughter lying behind her, there was no reason for her to stop and run away.

The two men looked at each other, took a breath, and decided to pounce on each other to continue fighting for life and death.

Just now.

Click.

A soft sound.

They both looked over and saw Li Miao half-lying on the ground, his face supported by his hands, staring at them without blinking.

In the other hand, he was holding the cracked melon seed shells.

Both the masked woman and Zhao Dehua couldn't help but feel strange.

It's not that it's particularly strange that Li Miao didn't get hit by the smoke. The masked woman's smoke was originally chosen based on the martial arts of Zhao Dehua and his group, not including Li Miao who was passing by.

There are all kinds of martial arts in this world, and masters emerge in endlessly. Who knows whether Li Miao has unique internal strength or is a superb martial arts master? Just stay awake.

As long as Li Miao didn't get involved in their fight, he just watched.

But, just look at it, what does it mean to crack melon seeds?
They even made noises when they smacked their lips. How disrespectful! Are they treating them like circus performers?
Were they fighting to the death just now just for your entertainment?

Seeing Li Miao eating melon seeds like this, the originally bitter and vengeful atmosphere suddenly became a little funny, and the two of them lost their desire to risk their lives.

The masked woman was unsure what Li Miao was doing. Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she slipped out of the door without saying a word and disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Dehua knew the principle of not chasing after a desperate enemy, so he did not chase after him.

He turned around, walked up to Li Miao, and clasped his fists: "Thank you, sir." The pause after "thank you" really meant that he didn't know what to say.

If I say "thank you for your help", Li Miao did nothing and treated him like a joke. Could it be that I should also say "thank you for your support"?
But the masked woman had indeed left because of Li Miao's interruption, so it would be wrong not to thank her. After hesitating for a while, Zhao Dehua managed to say "Thank you, sir".

Li Miao waved his hand: "No need." He turned over and lay down again.

He was a lazy and casual person by nature, and seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, he was too lazy to talk much and just went back to sleep.

This made Zhao Dehua embarrassed. He thought to himself, what kind of person is this? It seems like he doesn't treat me as a human being at all?

But there is no need to pull him up.

I'm not sure how good Li Miao's martial arts are. He was so fascinated by the smoke from the Tiger Power Escort Agency that he became more energetic. This showed the difference. What if I pull him up and provoke him to fight?

Zhao Dehua turned around and looked for his companions. He first helped them detoxify the poison, and then assigned them to guard against the masked woman. They continued to do this until dawn.

When it was daybreak, Li Miao and the other two got up and washed. Zhao Dehua did not come over to say hello, but packed up and set off first.

There is an unwritten rule among the Jianghu people that when two teams meet by chance, it is best not to travel together without knowing each other's background. When they separate, the team with more people should go first, and the team with fewer people should go later.

This rule is reasonable. If you are strangers and walking on the road together, you have to be on guard against someone with bad intentions suddenly attacking you, wasting your energy. And the number of people generally represents strength. If the party with fewer people goes first, what will happen if the party with more people follows the trail?
Zhao Dehua was aware of the rules, so he gathered his men and left first.

In fact, Li Miao and the other two didn't care. After the battle between Zhao Dehua and the masked woman last night, Li Miao had already seen through Zhao Dehua's details.

Zhao Dehua's physique was average, but he was old and had practiced martial arts for a long time, so his martial arts skills were decent, roughly the level of a second-rate martial arts expert. He practiced claw skills and took a ruthless approach, which was completely opposite to his attitude of trying to keep things quiet.

In Li Miao's eyes, a warrior of this level is no different from a punk.

Of course, there was no need for Li Miao to set off early, so he simply waited for Zhao Dehua to leave and had a meal before he leisurely set off on horseback.

The three of them rode quickly all the way and finally arrived at a county town at sunset before the city gate closed.

Li Miao walked slowly in front with his hands behind his back, while Wang Hai followed behind, leading the horse, and whispered something to Xiao Si, which made Xiao Si cover his mouth and laugh.

After walking for a while, we finally found an inn and planned to rest there for the night.

When the three of them entered the room, they heard someone at the table exclaim "Huh?"

Li Miao looked over there and chuckled.

Because the people sitting there were Zhao Dehua and his group, and the one who made the sound was Zhao Dehua's daughter Zhao Ying, who was looking at them with surprise.

It was obvious that the two groups had deliberately gone their separate ways, but they happened to stay in the same inn.

Zhao Dehua was also wondering when he saw Li Miao and the other two come in. These three people were strange. Was it such a coincidence that they met each other two days in a row? Maybe they had other intentions.

Once your mind is filled with worries, it's hard to calm down.

Zhao Dehua was originally raped by the masked woman last night, and she ran away. Now he is very nervous. Seeing Li Miao at this time, he can't help but think too much.

Wang Hai saw it clearly, and he knew that pretending not to know him would only make people think too much. Li Miao was a person who didn't care about anything, and Xiao Si was a little girl, so the task of welcoming and seeing off people still had to fall on him.

So he took the initiative to step forward and greeted him.

"Everyone, it's fate that we meet again."
