From the moment she appeared, the biggest impression Situ Xiaoshu gave was that she acted as if she had struck out, as if she knew her limits. She seemed bold and powerful, but she had always left room for others to deal with her.
However, this girl who had a sense of propriety, suddenly raised her blade and asked Wen Qubing a question after protecting her sect's face. Then, without waiting for a reply, that brilliant blade rainbow sliced through the air once more.
"Evil thief, you have offended the heavens, and this is something that the world cannot tolerate. Today, I am under the orders of the heavens to cut you down and receive a slash from my blade!"
The blade fell from the sky, before the blade could strike, the biting cold blade Qi had cut off Wen Qubing's hair, causing the surrounding people to turn pale, but not many people reacted, they could not save him, and only wanted to say, could this blade be a probe, and stop there? Even Zhang Wenyuan and Tao Mincai were not certain.
Only Wen Qubing himself was able to see through the blade's true form.
At least fifth level strength? Damn, is this girl for real? What have I done? "AHH!" Some people are about to die, so you have to blame me, okay?) With the blade's hair cut off, Situ Xiaoshu kept staring at the target's eyes. Her father's instructions, when slaying someone, one must pay attention to the opponent's eyes. Every slight change in expression was a warning sign for the target's movements.
However, there was no fear of death in the bad guy's eyes. Instead, he looked calm and collected. The corner of his mouth even revealed a trace of a smile, as if he had everything in his grasp.
In the next moment, Wen Qubing's entire body was enveloped by a ray of green light, and a jade pendant fell off his body and broke into pieces. At the same time, Wen Qubing shot out of the window with his light, flying through the air.
Many great figures had life protection treasures like Wen Qubing, so naturally there were many of them. Situ Xiaoshu's blade strike contained other secrets, it was able to destroy this type of life saving treasure, but they never thought that the villain would be so cunning, he actually had more than one life protecting treasure on him, giving him the chance to escape.
(A life-protecting treasure is not rare, but it is also not cheap. This person … I really am rich!) As this thought flashed across her mind, Situ Xiaoshu was alarmed. The surrounding people had a face full of fear, as if Wen Qubing's escape had made them even more terrified. Situ Xiaoshu was stunned and puzzled, but suddenly, the shattered jade pendant released a strong light.
Suddenly, from one side of the rear pavilion of the Red Sleeve Courtyard, a strong light suddenly shone. The bright light made it difficult for people to look directly at it.
The sudden explosion had alarmed everyone on the street and caused them to sink into a state of chaos. Especially the carriages and servants who had stopped in front of the Red Sleeves Courtyard. They were in a panic and did not know what to do.
The carriage for the Wen Family had been standing there the entire time. After the coachman had washed the blood on the carriage, he was waiting for something. Suddenly, a knock came from inside the carriage, it was a signal they had agreed upon, and without a word, he rode away, and after leaving the Red Wall Street, the patriarch's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Tonight …" Nothing special, right? "
"..." I don't think so. A group of people died, dirtied the car, and blew up a building. Patriarch, you were then sent to the car … Just like usual, nothing special. "
"Mm, it seems like there really isn't anything special about it. Then let's not waste words and head back home."
After the carriage drove off, it abandoned all the noise behind it and quietly disappeared into the night, returning to the Wen Mansion. Several hours later, as the sun rose, an endless stream of protestors came and went, almost breaking the threshold of the Wen Mansion.
"Lao Wen! "You're too disloyal. You clearly went to play with us, but I didn't bring you along to specially screw over our teammates!"
In the straw mat covering the tea room, Tao Mincai, whose body was wrapped in a medicinal cloth, took the teacup that Wen Qubing handed to him and said: "Last night, after that explosion, the damage to the Red Sleeve Institution was severe, and everyone present was affected. Those who do not have a life protection treasure were all heavily injured, let alone …"
In the end, only Tao Mincai, who represented the victims from last night, was allowed to come in. As both of them had received a blow, and felt the same way, Wen Qubing decided to receive his old friend.
"Stop!" Wen Qubing cut him off with a wave of his hand and took a sip of tea. Are there such people among you? At most, he would only use inferior goods. How could he not have any on him? Everyone... "But they are all of the same family. They all come together in the same way."
There were two meanings to his words. The group of rich youths were all rich, and their families had distributed protective gear to protect them. At the same time, with such a large group of people, they were very similar in character and had done many things that would arouse resentment. If they didn't have protective gear, who would dare to walk on the streets brazenly?
Guards, personal armor, and finally protective treasures. Several pieces of safety insurance were indispensable. The defensive treasures had different functions. Some were for personal protection, some were for light escape, or for other effects.
When different protective treasures were placed together, their arcane patterns could interfere with each other, causing the activation process to be delayed or paralyzed. Therefore, they usually only brought one protective treasure with them, but there were also those who weren't afraid of death yet who were willing to throw money at them.
"I really didn't see you like this. It's fine if it's just a shield, but if it's just a ray of light, but it also has the effect of an explosion, why did you explode after running away?"
"What if I can't get away? I have been fighting against the Star Breaker all day, and those fellows all don't care about their lives. Even if I die, why don't they let me burn everything to avenge them? "
Wen Qubing laughed: "My enemies are all fugitives, this technique, is not my own creation. They also did it, if they can't leave, then we will perish together, you are telling them that you are merciful?"
Tao Mincai laughed bitterly: "To be honest, you all do not consider affecting other people?"
Please take off that 'you' word, and then take note, I was forced to fight back, not actively injuring others, and wanted me to lower my level of protection. Please contact the remnants of the Broken Stars, those scoundrels had burned my restaurant yesterday, and I've made a huge fortune, so how could they not care about others?
Speaking of the restaurant being burnt, and the people dying and wounded, Wen Qubing smashed the walls heavily, and started coughing, showing his anger.
understood his feelings and comforted him with a few sentences. It was not the first time such a long battle had occurred between the remnants of a broken star and his Wen Family, but he never would have thought that Wen Qubing would mislead him. The remnants of a broken star was real.
"Isn't it our first time drinking together and finding me to play without having enough protective treasures? Is there such a fool among us?"
Wen Qubing scoffed, "I won't say anything else. I'm just asking, is it illegal for me to do this? "What decree does the Empire have forbidding the use of self-detonation as a last resort?"
"Ugh …" "Of course not …"
Tao Mincai laughed bitterly, the empire obviously did not have such a law, if there was, perhaps even those famous families would be convicted.
In the end, at this moment of life and death, in order to survive, he could use any means he wanted to. And when the road to life was cut off, all hope would be gone, it would even be forbidden to perish together with others. This kind of decree simply did not exist, the officials had no way of finding trouble with Wen Qubing for this, and they could not even seek him to seek compensation.
"How about this, you send a message to the Red Sleeves Academy for me. No need to talk about compensation, just how much is their entire courtyard worth? "Name a market price, I'll directly buy it."
Wen Qubing said heroically: "The courtyard is currently broken, do not worry, I will take it at its original price. Everyone who is injured or sick, leave without exception. "Compensate."
"..." Then, Lao Wen, you took advantage of the low price to buy it again? "
Tao Mincai shook her head. Wen Qubing's conditions seemed generous, but the song buildings and brothel s were originally priceless, and no one was willing to sell them off. Even if Wen Qubing used the original price to buy them, he would still get a huge bargain, how could they agree?
"Well, who doesn't know of your reputation for being a fool? The old procuress didn't expect anything from you, so she ran over to the mayor's side early in the morning to seek Blade Sealing Alliance for compensation. "
"..." "I'm not an idiot, please don't just give people those nicknames that are easy to misunderstand." Wen Qubing said: "Blade Sealing Alliance still requires face. If you cry and fight to the death, the chance of you getting compensation is not small, who told them to release a young lady with a blade and no brain, after asking a question, they would immediately pull out their blades and slash … Am I the kind of person who can be cut at will? "
Wen Qubing was not afraid that the other party would cut him a second time, no matter what, he was still a legitimate businessman who did things for the government. His Fragmentary Star Group was full of treason, and although Situ Xiaoshu wanted to kill him for a reasonable reason, it was fine if he did it once, but if he did it again, there would be trouble with his Blade Sealing Alliance.
Of course, all sorts of laws are handled by just looking at people. With the power of Blade Sealing Alliance and the fact that they are pillars of the righteous path, even if there is some small crime, the officials would most likely turn a blind eye to it.
"That Miss Situ …" It was also because of this that they came here secretly yesterday. " Tao Min said, "Zhu Family greets distinguished guests. Zhu Dingyu will accompany you the entire way. Once you reach Port City, Zhu Tao will hold a feast to entertain you. I don't think I came here specifically to chop you up. "
Wen Qubing said: "She dares? "Don't think that just because you're beautiful you can do whatever you want. Do you really think that an empire is an unreachable place?"
His tone was stern and he was a bit self-deprecating. If this country really had such speed, then they wouldn't have ended up like this. Furthermore, they wouldn't have allowed someone like him to run rampant today …
"Cough, don't waste your breath. Min, there are a lot of people who have come today. I've blocked off everyone but you. Do you know why I let you in?"
"Of course I know. Isn't it because other people are here to ask for money? Am I here to send money?"
Tao Min laughed and took out a document from her chest pocket, a small golden seal said, "This is my family's merchant ship's dispatch permit, a time limit of half a year. "If you want to take the opportunity to do some big business, you can say hello.
"You want to make the same profit as me? "Sure, you won't forget your old friend when you get rich." Wen Qubing asked curiously: "But... You aren't just going to bring these things here, are you? "
"If I say yes, will I be unable to walk out of this door alive?"
Tao Mincai laughed and took out another brocade box, "I learned that her father confined my legs, so I couldn't get out. She entrusted me to bring this thing to you."
