Chapter 73: Trickery

Compared to Zhou’s or Tian’s houses, the prefectural government is much more

generous.

There is a vestibule and a stone hill in the courtyard, with a main hall in

the middle, and three two-story houses behind them. These buildings are

combined into one word. According to the living customs, the main hall is

generally used for hospitality, and the side rooms are for relatives and

children. The magistrate's bedroom should be directly behind the main hall.

Although there is a guard at night in the mansion, it is no different from a

fixed roadblock for the fox monster who can see at night. Quietly avoiding the

gaze of the night watchman, the two easily climbed up to the second floor

along the foot of the room and reached the residence of the prefect.

And it turns out that they didn't guess the wrong place. Even at this point,

there was still a big room in the building with candlelight on it, and it was

attached to the ears, and the anxious voice of Huzhi County could still be

heard.

"Those two idiots... why haven't they come back?"

"If I get caught, I must peel them off!"

Those two idiots refer to the Du Brothers?

Xia Fan was startled, could it be that Hu Zhixian himself was the one who

poisoned them?

But now is not the time to hesitate.

The key person in the whole incident is in the room at this moment. If they

can win the opponent, the seemingly swaying balance of the situation will tilt

towards them!

Thinking of this, he winked at Li, then slammed his shoulders.

The door of the room opened.

In the spacious bedroom, there is only one person from Hu Zhixian—this is

undoubtedly the most ideal one among various anticipated situations.

Hu Huairen also turned around, with a look of surprise on his face.

But soon, his surprise disappeared.

"You guys are really... lingering."

This reaction was completely unexpected to Xia Fan.

He originally thought that the other party would be scared out of his body, or

he would immediately call for help, but as long as he stepped forward and

stunned him with a sword, the next step was to find a place for detailed

interrogation.

This unexpected development also made Xia Fan feel puzzled, and he didn't get

close to him immediately.

"Did the Privy Council ask you to come?" Hu Huairen sat back at the desk,

leaning back on the bench and said, "Brother Du was also killed by you,

right?"

"Not bad." Xia Fan simply followed his statement, "You should know what crimes

you have committed. It is not an exaggeration to sentence a puja to

maliciously murder the people and use evil spirits for your own benefit!"

"I admit it."

"Since you have pleaded guilty, now you will explain the whole story in

detail, including the origins of those who were killed, and who was behind the

giveaway. Perhaps you can still save the lives of your family——"

"Hahahaha," Hu Huairen laughed suddenly, "I thought it was the Privy Council's

attitude that has changed, but it doesn't seem to be the case!"

Xia Fan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Although I have never dealt with those people on the initiative, I also know

their style of behavior \- at least in this matter, the Privy Council will

never ask the truth, let alone save my family's life. If you just Just do it,

maybe I really believe it." Hu Huairen's voice became colder, "Of course, even

if the Privy Council wants my life, I will not give it with both hands. As the

saying goes, the dog will jump the wall in a hurry. !"

Just as his voice fell to the ground, Xia Fan suddenly felt a chill on his

face!

"Be careful!" Li said in surprise.

Everything came too fast, only to see a figure rushing down from the roof and

falling in front of Xia Fan.

there was a flash of blade light that appeared after all.

It was cut off against Xia Fan's shoulders, from the chest to the flanks!

Blood is flashing!

Xia Fan overturned backwards, then rolled several times on the ground, and the

blood spattered suddenly became a red line.

And the other party didn't give any chance to breathe, chasing up to keep up,

as if planning to make another fatal blow, but at this time Li had already

blocked Xia Fan.

After receiving the opponent's straight stab with a single palm, the fox demon

forced the opponent to release the weapon with a horizontal pat with the other

hand, and opened the distance after two shots.

Li couldn't take care of the left hand that was scratched by the short knife,

and raised Xia Fan to check his wound, but he reached out and held it down.

"Don't worry, I'm fine..."

Xia Fan held back the piercing pain and took a deep breath.

The straight cut just came so suddenly that he didn't have time to defend

himself. What saved his life was the special training that Li gave him these

days. At the moment when the chill appeared, Xia Fan vaguely noticed that the

qi above his head had changed. He had almost no thoughts, and he accumulated

according to the special training. His instinct leaned backwards, which made

the original fatal knife only torn a nearly palm-length incision in his body.

"I didn't expect an ordinary alchemist to escape this blow, but it was beyond

my expectation." The other party slowly stood up straight, allowing Xia Fan to

see her whole picture clearly. "I remember you are not good at your skills."

That was a beautiful woman.

She is wearing a short robe with slits, and the neckline is so low that she

can even see the half of her chest. The thighs are also completely exposed

from the side, until the feet are covered with white socks. This dress is good

for Xia Fan, but it is absolutely bold in this era.

"I have seen her." Li reminded in a low voice, "Be careful, she can use

hurdles, and the technique is very different from that of the alchemist."

"Well," Xia Fan pulled out a piece of first aid gauze from the inner pocket of

his robe, tightened her shoulders and chest, and was surprised at the same

time. Could this be the beautiful woman Du Mingjin mentioned? The problem is

that people with extraordinary looks are easy to find, and those who can use

magic skills are a bit rare. What on earth is there, so that even people who

feel angry can give it at will?

In addition, when this person was hiding on the roof, not only was he unaware,

even Li was unable to discover her existence. It can only be said that she is

either extremely good at concealment, or her strength is above the Sixth-Rank

Questioning Dao!

"Qingzi, you will protect me, right?" Hu Huairen said grimly, "Kill these two

thieves!"

The woman called the Qingzi smiled charmingly, "Of course, this is the mission

of a concubine."

As she talked, she took out two peculiarly shaped daggers~www.mtlnovel.com~

and threw them at Xia Fan and Li, then fell on the ground and rushed towards

them. Li dodged and avoided Xia Fan. Raise the sword to open.

The wooden sword might be good for dealing with evil spirits, but it suddenly

fell into a disadvantage when facing the gold and iron things. Even though the

dagger bounced off the block, the sword body also snapped off.

Li took the lead to approach the woman, turning his hands into sharp claws,

and stunned the opponent with illusion! In an instant, the magistrate's

bedroom seemed to be a terrifying place with a sea of blood, and even Xia

Fan felt his feet sink into the sticky flesh and blood, making it difficult to

move. Qingzi was the first to bear the brunt, with a look of horror on her

face, her hands and feet stiff, as if she had lost the ability to resist.

Li's hands penetrated the other mercilessly.

But the next moment, the enemy's figure turned into a cloud of smoke.

What kind of magic is this?

While Xia Fan was still surprised, Qingzi, who had reappeared, rushed to him!

Sure enough, the opponent has already judged that the fox demon is a difficult

opponent, and decided to give priority to solving the weaker self. However, he

was also prepared, and threw forward the copper wire pendant that he had held

in his hand in advance. After several actual battles, he had already figured

out the characteristics of the thunder of vibration technique: after this

technique was stimulated, if there was an introduction, it would With the

introduction as the center, a thunder that could tear the air fell. In other

words, he doesn't need to wait for the enemy to get close before performing

the operation, as long as he ensures that the copper wire falls under his

gaze, he can trigger sky thunder in the air.

The power of the dual technique is deadly enough!

However, the opponent did not pounce to the bottom, but stopped abruptly, and

quickly interlaced his hands, forming a series of weird gestures.

That posture actually gave Xia Fan a feeling of deja vu.

There is no medicine or talisman. After the woman made several gestures like

this, a hot flame burst out of her mouth!
