The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 82: Good Carry
This sentence is not the style of the underworld.

Jiao Qingfeng was a minor official, so he had no idea what was going on in the underworld. He could only "improve" this sentence based on the style of storytelling he usually heard in teahouses.

As a result, people learned it wrongly. It is obviously adapted from "Who are you? Tell me your name," which is the opening line of a challenge when two armies are facing each other.

When the Flood Flag Master heard this, he also felt something was wrong. Besides the strangeness of the words spoken by the other party, why did he speak with a Tai'an accent?
Didn’t that “Li Miao” always stay in Shuntian Prefecture and never leave Beijing?
Is his hometown Tai'an?
Lan Zuoshi, was he killed when he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives?
His heart moved, and the look he gave Jiao Qingfeng became more and more weird.

After Jiao Qingfeng said this, he felt that the little courage he had gathered with great difficulty was completely used up.

He could only pretend to be disdainful, glance at the Flood Flag Leader sideways, and say nothing.

"Sir, is this Master Li Miao in person?"

After a while, the Flood Flag Leader spoke.

"Exactly."

"Oh... Lan Zuoshi was killed by you, Your Excellency."

"Exactly."

"Left Sect Leader was also killed by you."

"..."

This sentence is a trap.

Zuo Lishan died at the hands of Yun Zelin, not at the hands of Li Miao.

If Jiao Qingfeng had followed up on the previous question and said "yes", the leader of the flood flag would have immediately stepped forward and killed him.

However, the only thing Jiao Qingfeng is good at is "observing people's words and expressions."

The first thing a minor official like him had to learn was to act according to the mood of his superior. After years of working in the government, he had mastered this skill to an "excellent" level.

Jiao Qingfeng was already wary of this series of questions, and when he noticed that the leader of the Flood Flag had a hint of murderous intent, he immediately stopped talking.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Who killed Sect Leader Zuo...don't you know?"

This sentence is ambiguous. If Li Miao killed him, it would mean "Don't you know who I killed?"

If Li Miao didn't kill him, it would mean "Who of you killed him and you still come to ask me?"

When it comes to ambiguity, deception and evasion, the leader of the Hongshui Banner, a rough and uncouth man in the underworld, is really no match for Jiao Qingfeng.

Under normal circumstances, Jiao Qingfeng might have been able to use Li Miao's reputation to trick the leader of the flood flag into retreating.

But it doesn’t work right now.

The Ming Cult is determined to succeed in this matter. They have already thrown the life of a left emissary into the mix, and the Taishan Cult's plan has also been destroyed by Yun Zelin.

After paying such a huge price, we must achieve something. The Ming Cult is determined to win the matter in Tai'an City.

The leader of the flood flag hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind, a ruthless look appeared on his face.

"I don't care whether your last name is Li or something else. Since you are blocking here, you are the enemy of my Holy Church!"

"Even if we can't defeat you, dragging you here will reduce the obstacle for Protector Mao!"

Make your decision now, don't hesitate any more.

The leader of the Flood Flag flashed forward in an instant and struck Jiao Qingfeng in the face with a palm!
"It's either you or me, let's see who's the winner!"

"It's over... I can't hold on any longer..."

In desperation, Jiao Qingfeng forced himself not to lose his composure and watched the palm strike continue to enlarge in his vision.

"I guess I have shouldered a little bit of the burden of being an official..."

--------

And turn the time back a moment.

This is Li Miao.

Five hundred Gu soldiers.

Wang Hai was already stretched to the limit when facing one or two Gu soldiers. When two came at the same time, Mei Qinghe was forced to fight for her life.

Although there is also the reason that their true energy has run out and they cannot retreat, and can only fight head-on, it can also be seen from this that these Gu soldiers of the Ming Cult are difficult to deal with.

However, the Gu soldiers on Mao Yingxia's side are more difficult to deal with than those that were released into the city in advance.

The Gu soldiers that were dispersed into Tai'an City in advance were "abandoned" to some extent. However, the Gu soldiers on Mao Yingxia's side were the "materials" that the Ming Cult had accumulated over the past decade, and they were made from good roots, and they were actually used as capital to capture cities and territories.

The consensus in the martial arts world is: no matter how high your martial arts skills are, if you are surrounded by heavy troops and cannot escape, you will die on the spot.

Firstly, even if it is "Sumeru", the true energy is not infinite, and there will be a moment when it reaches the bottom.

Second, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still a human being and you need to breathe.

Being heavily surrounded is not like what was shown in the movies in Li Miao's previous life, where the protagonist only fought with the people in front of him, and the enemies behind him were only responsible for screaming, posing, and waiting for the protagonist to turn around.

Being truly surrounded means facing attacks like raindrops at the same time. Your face, genitals, waist, back, arms and legs are all being attacked at the same time.

Facing this kind of attack, even if a master of horizontal training can resist it head-on, he still needs to breathe. Once he breathes, his strength loosens, and the moment he relaxes his horizontal training, he will get hurt. As the injuries accumulate, his movements become slower and slower, his true energy becomes weaker, and he will die.

What Li Miao faced was a siege of 500 fearless and invulnerable Gu soldiers.

Right now, there are only a hundred left.

Li Miao's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he put his fingers together and put them at his waist.

Bevel cut!

The "one knife" in the "Iron Punishment War"!
The sharp true energy left the body and cut the three human figures in front of him into two pieces. After the upper bodies fell to the ground, they continued to crawl and roar towards Li Miao.

Li Miao's original plan was to kill Mao Yingxia and quickly return to Tai'an City to support Xiao Si.

But after seeing these five hundred Gu soldiers, he changed his mind.

Only by stopping these Gu soldiers here and killing them all can Tai'an City be safe.

Right now, it’s almost there.

Li Miao dodged, stretched out his hands into claws, and used the "Qu Ye" technique, scraping a Gu soldier's face from top to bottom.

Half of a red and white skull was left on his hand.

The Gu soldier fell to the ground without a sound.

Li Miao jumped high and dodged the attacks of several Gu soldiers.

Then, "Thousand-Jin Weight" and "Powerful Vajra Leg"!
His figure suddenly fell down, knocking several Gu soldiers to the ground, and Li Miao smashed the back of their heads with his fists.

When he raised his fists, the dark black gloves were already covered with red and white brain matter.

Mao Yingxia, who was lying on the ground nearby, had fallen into despair.

No matter how much she couldn't believe it, she had to admit the fact: Li Miao was really killing all the Gu soldiers that the Ming Cult had accumulated for more than ten years.

"How could...how could..."

"Why hasn't your Qi been exhausted yet... You are not 'Sumeru', how can you have such a deep Qi..."

"How can you be both 'King Kong' and 'Meson' at the same time? Why aren't you dead yet?!"

"Who the hell are you? Who the hell are you?!"

Mao Yingxia is a direct disciple of Ji Tianrui and is extremely loyal to the Ming Cult. She witnesses with her own eyes that the Ming Cult's plan for revival is destroyed in an incomprehensible way by an anomaly that suddenly appears out of nowhere, but she is powerless to do anything.

In addition, he was seriously injured and lost too much blood. He was already unconscious and shouted frantically at Li Miao.

Li Miao turned a deaf ear and just started killing people.

After a while, the last Gu soldier was grabbed by Li Miao's arms and torn into two pieces. After falling to the ground, he crawled for a while and lost his voice.

Li Miao turned and walked towards Mao Yingxia.

"Who are you! You are——"

Xuantian Finger.

The sharp true energy penetrated his forehead, and Mao Yingxia fell down before she could finish her words.

"It's a waste of time to talk to a beast like you who massacred the city."

Li Miao stepped forward and grabbed a mass of bloody flesh from Mao Yingxia's body.

Leaving behind the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Li Miao did not stop, and used all his strength to use his lightness skills to rush towards Tai'an City.

--------

Just when Jiao Qingfeng opened his eyes wide and waited for death.

Suddenly, hot liquid splashed on his face.

Then, the palm that was already in front of him fell to the ground.

Jiao Qingfeng turned his head blankly and saw a severed hand on the ground.

Li Miao grabbed the head of the one-armed Flood Flag Leader and rushed into the crowd of Ming Cult members.

Flesh and blood splattered.

After a moment, Li Miao walked to Jiao Qingfeng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job."

After saying that, Li Miao walked up the wall as if walking on flat ground and flew into Tai'an City.

After a while, Jiao Qingfeng suddenly collapsed on the horse's back, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

"Hey...hehe..."

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling relieved.
