The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 65 Letters
Wang Hai was finally caught up.

He had almost lost all his blood and was no longer able to resist.

He could only lean on the long knife he picked up from the corpse and breathe heavily.

The Ming Cult disciples had surrounded them from all sides.

Zhou Mingxu did not step forward, but looked Wang Hai up and down.

He could see that Wang Hai was already at the end of his strength, but he still didn't dare to step forward. The bandaged wound on his chest reminded him that he must not underestimate this young man.

Wang Hai's crazy and ruthless behavior that night, almost injuring him with a determination to die together, really left a deep impression on Zhou Mingxu, who was used to seeing life and death.

However, if you can't go forward, then don't go forward.

Zhou Mingxu slowly took out a gold coin dart from his arms and looked at Wang Hai.

"Da Shuo's dog is pretty cruel."

"This penny is enough to buy your life!"

After saying that, he threw it out, and it whistled towards Wang Hai's face.

Wang Hai closed his eyes.

He really didn't have any strength left.

"Qianhu...Xiao Si..." he muttered.

He is already closing his eyes and waiting to die.

Suddenly, Li Miao's chuckle came from my ear: "Why, Hai'er, I am still ahead of Xiao Si?"

"I'll halve the betrothal gift for you."

Wang Hai opened his eyes instantly.

Ding! ——

The money dart flew backwards and passed through Zhou Mingxu's shoulder and body.

"Who!?" Zhou Mingxu covered his wound and shouted in surprise.

Li Miao stood in front of Wang Hai, his tall back cast a shadow that covered Wang Hai.

Wang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back and lay on the ground, but he couldn't help laughing.

Li Miao turned his head and glanced at Wang Hai, confirming that his injury would not cause any major problems in the short term.

Then he raised his hand and threw something in front of Zhou Mingxu.

Zhou Mingxu took a closer look, but his face turned pale instantly, and he exclaimed: "Zuo, Zuo Shi!!!"

What Li Miao had carried all the way and now threw in front of Zhou Mingxu was Lan Lechuan's head with eyes wide open!

Ever since Ji Tianrui's death fifteen years ago, the Ming Cult has always been led by Lan Lechuan.

In addition, Lan Lechuan inherited Ji Tianrui's skills and reached the top, becoming the stabilizing force in the hearts of the Ming Cult members.

How could he die so silently, with his head thrown to the ground like garbage!
"It's over..."

Zhou Mingxu's mind raced, his shoulders relaxed, and he sighed.

When he looked up again, what he saw was Li Miao's fist infinitely magnified in his field of vision.

--------

"...Captain, I am not doing my job well, so I have to trouble you to leave your job at Taishan Sect and come to rescue me..."

Wang Hai sat on the horse and spoke softly.

After Li Miao killed the Ming Cult, he returned to heal Wang Hai's wounds. At this time, the two bought two horses from a passing merchant and were heading towards the town where Wang Hai escaped.

"It doesn't affect it."

Li Miao pondered and said, "This mission is said to be for the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but it is actually aimed at the Ming Cult."

"Killing Lan Lechuan is more important than killing ten Zuo Lishans. If, as you said, there is another high-ranking Mingjiao official in this town who can get along with Zhou Mingxu, the commander will be happy to give me a year's vacation."

"But there is one thing that Lan Lechuan did that is strange."

Wang Hai turned to look at Li Miao: "What's the matter?" Li Miao twisted his fingers and said slowly: "I was going to kill Zuo Lishan, and I just happened to run into Lan Lechuan."

"At that time, I used a trick on Zuo Lishan, but Lan Lechuan didn't go to save him. It was obvious that he didn't care about Zuo Lishan's life."

Li Miao frowned: "I was in a hurry to save you, thinking that I could kill as many people as I could in one stick of incense."

"But later when the two of us were running for our lives, Lan Lechuan seemed to be possessed by a demon and clung to me like crazy, causing Zuo Lishan to escape with severe injuries."

“Inconsistent.”

Li Miao pondered and said, "There is nothing special about Zuo Lishan. Using Lan Lechuan's life to exchange for his life is really a losing deal..."

"If I have to say it, it's probably because of the poison in his body."

"It seems that the technique created by Ji Tianrui back then was not as simple as turning a top-notch expert into a short-lived half-top-notch expert."

The two men rode their horses at a rapid speed, and the town in the distance came into view.

"The Ming Cult has set up a branch temple so close to the Taishan Sect, and has also left two high-ranking officials above the rank of flag master here. I'm afraid they have other plans."

The two entered the town and looked around.

Wang Hai exclaimed: "Qian Hu, there are fewer people."

When Wang Hai came here to investigate a few days ago, it was still daytime. There were not many people in the town, but there were still some pedestrians on the street.

But now, half of the people in this town seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the streets were empty.

Several local residents were looking around at the door, obviously confused as well.

The two men walked to the courtyard where Wang Hai escaped that night. Wang Hai squatted down and checked the traces on the ground.

Following the traces, the two came to the door of a local mansion.

boom! ! !
Li Miao kicked the door open, walked into the house, and looked around.

The yard was in a mess, with discarded items scattered everywhere, and some broken weapons and worn clothes piled in the corners. It was obvious that quite a lot of people had lived here.

At this time, there was complete silence, and it was obvious that they had been gone for some time.

Li Miao walked into the main house.

This place looks like a woman's study room, with a clean desk and a faint scent of ink and powder. There is a piece of paper on the table with some words faintly written on it.

Li Miao went forward to check.

"From Mr. Li Miao:"

"The Blue Left Envoy sent a message saying that you were in the Taishan Sect. I knew he would die at your hands."

"When I saw Brother Wang's face that night, I recognized him. I knew you cared about me and would come to rescue me, so I fled in a hurry that night. I didn't dare to pollute your eyes with my lowly body."

"Master Zhou's life is my gift to you as a token of my gratitude. I hope you don't despise it."

"Since we parted fifteen years ago, I have missed Lord Li's heroic presence for a long time. At the Five Mountains Alliance Conference, there is a generous gift for Lord Li. I hope you will not refuse it."

"The Right Envoy of Manichaeism, Yun Zelin respectfully presents."

Li Miao smiled, put down the paper, turned around and walked out of the house.

"Hai'er, there's no need to search. Everyone is gone."

"Let's go back to Taishan Sect."

Wang Hai walked up to Li Miao, thought for a moment, and asked, "Captain, have all the people here gone to Taishan Sect?"

Li Miao said: "It should be."

"You said you don't want to hide it anymore, you want to be open with me."

"It just so happens that I was originally thinking of going to cause trouble for the Ming Cult after finishing this task. Now we are on the same page."

"Let's go and see what he has hidden that is worth exchanging Lan Lechuan's life for."

The two said no more, mounted their horses, and headed towards Taishan Sect.

Judging from the distance and horsepower, the two should be able to catch up with the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting.
