Chapter 343 - Escort Office Traitor
"Why do you need to ask so many questions when you're about to die?" After Ling Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with disdain.
Now that the situation was in Ling Xiao's hands, including the middle-aged man's life, if Ling Xiao wanted him to die, then he had no choice but to live.
"I know that you are very powerful. However, can you tell me before I die so that I can understand you better?" The middle-aged man said while clenching his teeth.
Ling Xiao heard and snorted: "You actually dare to negotiate with me? You truly do not understand the situation. If you were the only one left, I might spare your life, but there is no need for that right now, because there is still someone who can satisfy my curiosity."
The middle-aged man was stunned, he looked at the room full of dead people and asked, "Who else is alive? I'm the only one left. "
Just then, Shop Waiter who had his blade sharpened returned to his thatched hut, only to discover that the door was open and that there was no trace of the person inside, immediately becoming anxious. If he let them escape just like that, then they would be in danger.
Immediately after, Shop Waiter heard the sounds coming from the house not far away, he became curious, could it be that the man who had failed in his escape had been captured again?
The Shop Waiter raised his machete and walked towards the house.
Pushing open the door, Shop Waiter was stupefied by what he saw in the room.
When Ling Xiao saw Shop Waiter standing at the door, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Look, I'm not lying to you. There is indeed another person."
With that, without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, he waved his hand and released a stream of Sword Qi, slicing through the man's throat. Immediately, a spray of bright red blood splashed onto the ground, dyeing it even more red.
Just then, a pu tong sound came from the door. The Shop Waiter was so frightened that he lost his courage and fell down on the ground at the door, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Ling Xiao turned around to look at the Shop Waiter at the door, walked to his side and looked down at him condescendingly, then said coldly: "I really didn't expect that after killing so many innocent people with your own hands, you would actually be afraid even after seeing the corpse."
"No, don't kill me." Shop Waiter said with a trembling voice that sounded like he was crying.
Ling Xiao pulled a clean chair over and sat down, then crossed his legs and looked at Shop Waiter, "Do you know why I let you live?"
Hearing this, the Shop Waiter shook his head blankly, his body still uncontrollably trembling.
Ling Xiao sneered: "Because you still have use."
"Great Chivalry, whatever you want, I will give it to you. Whatever you want to know about, I will tell you. I only want you to let me live!" Maybe because the desire to live was too strong, Shop Waiter actually said these words in a rational manner even though she was so afraid.
After glancing at the Shop Waiter with a little surprise, Ling Xiao coldly snorted: "It's not your turn to negotiate with me. If you don't give me a sincere answer, you will die a miserable death."
Although he did not understand Ling Xiao at all, Shop Waiter still couldn't help but shiver a little after hearing this, because he did not doubt what Ling Xiao had said. It had to be said that in the face of absolute strength, Shop Waiter did not have the slightest chance of resisting.
With so many people dead, it was true that he was not one of them.
Even if Ling Xiao really wanted to use such ruthless methods, Shop Waiter could only be a fish that was slaughtered on the chopping block obediently.
"Please spare my life Great Chivalry, I will definitely tell you the truth, I only plead for you to spare me!" Shop Waiter struggled to squat up, then with a plop, he actually directly knelt in front of Ling Xiao, as he said while kowtowing.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao had a face of disdain, it was obvious that he was not used to this kind of behavior that lacked self-respect, "Just what kind of identity do you guys have? From the looks of your actions, you guys shouldn't be like normal bandit, because your discipline is stronger, moreover you are hiding inside an abandoned relay station, it should be to avoid being hunted down, right?"
Hearing this, Shop Waiter had a surprised face. He said in disbelief: "Great Chivalry, you're really too awesome. You actually managed to guess a lot of things in one go."
"Cut the crap, flattery is useless. Quickly tell me your identities." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
After being yelled at by Ling Xiao, the Shop Waiter immediately shuddered, and replied in a hurry: "Actually, we were originally the employees of the Escort Office, but we ran away after being besieged by the bandit. However, we don't have anything, and we don't have any horses either, because we have to pass through the territory of the bandit before we can go back, and we can't beat them, so we can only hide here temporarily."
Ling Xiao heard and laughed coldly, "I know that you come from the Forwey's escort office, so if you want to go back, there are many ways, rather than choosing to stay here as the bandit. I had originally thought that if you were to lie, I would kill you with a single slash, but from the looks of it, you brat didn't tell the truth either."
Hearing that, Shop Waiter immediately became flustered, he immediately grabbed onto Ling Xiao's leg and begged: "Please spare me, Great Chivalry, let me go, even if you know about all these there's no use."
Ling Xiao gave a cold snort, stood up and said: "Did you really think that I would keep you here to ask for a few things?"
Shop Waiter was stunned for a moment, and asked in puzzlement: "What does Great Chivalry want to do?"
Ling Xiao glanced at Shop Waiter, and said with a smile. "You'll understand then. Get up, and follow me.
After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao started walking out of the door, leaving Shop Waiter standing blankly in place for a long time before he realised that he was originally a corpse, why didn't Ling Xiao immediately kill him?
He was just a small assistant of the Escort Office. Even if he said lies, what did it have to do with Ling Xiao? From Ling Xiao's appearance, he was not someone from here.
Although he was puzzled, Shop Waiter did not dare to stay in the house for too long. He chased after Ling Xiao very quickly and followed behind Ling Xiao obediently. With the strength that Ling Xiao had displayed before, Shop Waiter did not doubt Ling Xiao's ability to kill him.
"Where did you take my horse?" Ling Xiao looked at the empty relay station and could not help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
When Shop Waiter heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said: "Great Chivalry, I am truly sorry.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao snorted, and said angrily: "What a useless fellow, not even a horse can be tied up well."
Then, Ling Xiao asked, "How far is it from here to Fujian City?"
When the Shop Waiter heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want to walk?"
