Chapter 8 Mantis Catching Cicadas



Chapter 8 Mantis Catching Cicadas
The moon is like a silver plate, spilling on the earth.

In the courtyard of the East Factory Governor's Mansion, the sound of footsteps, shouts, cursing, screams, and the sound of metal and iron clashing were all mixed together.

There were already dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and the smell of blood drifted along the night wind to the two figures standing on the roof behind.

Yu Huatian carried his hands on his back, the silver-white python robe on his body fluctuated gently with the night wind, and a beautiful arc was drawn on his fair face, like an exiled fairy in the night sky.

Looking at the chaotic scene below, he said indifferently: "This Zhao Jingzhong has been dormant in secret for so many years, but he only recruited so few people?"

Ma Jinliang carried two swords on his back and wore a bronze beast mask, standing quietly beside Yuhuatian like a ghost.

Hearing the words, he nodded and said: "This person is a little clever, but he can't compare with Wan Yulou in his heart and wrists. If he hadn't been assisted by his junior sister Wei Ting, he would have been eaten by Wan Yulou all these years without even scum left. "

"Anyway, he is also Wei Zhongxian's descendant, so it's so unbearable!"

Yu Huatian shook his head in disappointment, then turned his gaze to the figures in flying fish suits in the arena: "On the other hand, Jin Yiwei's martial arts are not bad."

Ma Jinliang's pale ghost pupils also looked down, pointed and introduced: "The Qianhu wearing the silver-white flying fish suit is named Lu Wenzhao. He is from Fusi of Beizhen. He behaves relatively low-key. He has been attached to Dongchang all these years. He is the most loyal dog under Dongchang's hands, he will bite whoever he is asked to bite, and he probably wants to climb up by relying on Dongchang."

"is it?"

Yu Huatian said indifferently: "If you are promoted again after a thousand households, you will be the governor of Nanbei Town Fusi, but these two positions are basically determined by the imperial court, and it is not Dongchang's turn to designate them."

Ma Jinliang was stunned for a moment, and said: "If that's the case, why is he willing to be Dongchang's running dog? It's not good to be so forbearing..."

"Who knows!"

Yu Huatian smiled and didn't say much, but there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

This world is indeed more interesting.

Even the characters of 'Xiu Chun Knife' are gathered together.

If the plot direction is not crooked, the reason why Lu Wenzhao is so forbearing is to overthrow this era, which is what he often says "change the way of life".

On the surface, he is Jinyiwei Qianhu, Dongchang's lackey, but in fact he has defected to King Xin secretly, intending to support King Xin to ascend the throne.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the emperor of Daming at this moment is Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, and the king of Xin is named Zhu Youjian, who was later Emperor Chongzhen, the emperor's younger brother.

Since the emperor's dragon body was ill and he had no children under his knees, once the emperor died, Zhu Youjian, the king of faith, was indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne.

However, in the original drama of "Xiu Chun Dao", Zhu Youjian became the emperor with the support of Wei Zhongxian, but in this world, Wei Zhongxian was abolished by Emperor Tianqi ten years ago.

Moreover, as far as Yu Huatian knew, the iron and courageous Marquis of Hulong Villa had been secretly collecting criminal evidence of the generals and conspiring to rebel over the years.

So whether Zhu Youjian can become emperor is still another matter.

Yuhuatian wasn't too sure, so he didn't explain much.

Seeing this, Ma Jinliang didn't ask any more questions, looked at the battlefield below, and continued to introduce: "The man with the Xiuchun knife is named Shen Lian, and he is a general banner under Lu Wenzhao; His name is Lu Jianxing, and he is Shen Lian's superior official, hereditary to hundreds of households; the other one who uses double knives is called Jin Yichuan, a small banner official under Shen Lian's subordinates."

"These three are sworn brothers, the eldest is Lu Jianxing, the second is Shen Lian, and the third is Jin Yichuan."

"By the way, that Jin Yichuan seems to be Ding Xiu's younger brother, but we haven't found out Ding Xiu's origin yet, but judging from their skills, he should be from the frontier army..."

Yu Huatian said indifferently: "This person's master is Ding Baiying, and he and Lu Wenzhao are brothers and sisters, and both are descendants of the Qi family sword."

"Qi Family Knife?!"

Ma Jinliang was a little surprised. Qi Jiguang, the founder of the Qi Family Sword, was a famous general in the past. Therefore, in this era, the successor of the Qi Family Sword is indeed worthy of people's attention.

Yu Huatian nodded, looked at the figures in the field, and said: "Except for Ding Xiu, the others, if they are interested, that's all. If they don't, then send them to see Li Zhong. Don't hold back ...By the way, don't kill Shen Lian, leave it to me."

Yu Huatian's eyes had been focused on Shen Lian, and he was already thinking about how much luck Shen Lian was worth.

After all, he is also the protagonist of a play, so it shouldn't be too low...

"Yes." Ma Jinliang nodded.

"Our people are all in ambush, right?"

"Tan Luzi and Zhao Tong are waiting outside with people, and all the third-rate and above masters are here!"

Ma Jinliang replied.

Yuhuatian nodded slightly.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion below, and along with the crowded crowd, a majestic voice came from outside the mansion: "The chief, Zhao Jingzhong, committed the crime of assassinating the vice-governor, and he deserves to be punished."

"Our family was ordered to kill the thieves. Today, only the head of the thieves will be killed. Whoever dares to stop them will be treated as an accomplice and will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this voice, the corners of Yu Huatian's mouth lifted slightly, and he said, "The Lord is here!"

...

In the courtyard of the governor's mansion.

Zhao Jingzhong and the others were shocked when they heard the voice from outside, and their expressions changed immediately.

"Liu Xi!"

Zhao Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said with an ugly face.

"Liu Xi? Isn't it Yuhuatian, Governor of the West Factory?"

Hearing this, Ding Xiu looked away from Zhao Jingzhong's head, feeling a little puzzled.

Can the 2000 taels of silver still be earned today?
Accompanied by Liu Xi's voice, coupled with the fact that Li Zhong was dead, it really shocked many people.

For a moment, both sides stopped their hands temporarily and looked outside the mansion.

Soon, the crowd dispersed, and a majestic man in a white python robe walked in with his hands behind his back. It was Liu Xi.

After Liu Xi came in, his eyes swept across the field first. When he saw Li Zhong's headless corpse in the living room, an imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhao Jingzhong and others, and asked:
"Zhao Jingzhong, you brothers and sisters teamed up with Jin Yiwei to commit crimes below and kill the deputy governor. Can you be convicted?!"

Zhao Jingzhong's face was gloomy. How come he still doesn't know Liu Xi's plan, so he stared at Liu Xi and said, "Liu Xi, you stray dog, how dare you plot against me?!"

"A dog? It seems that you are not the same."

Liu Xi sneered, and said: "It's fine if you want to kill Li Zhong yourself, and Jin Yiwei is also involved, I will see how you explain it, you have no brains, no wonder I am."

Zhao Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said, "You want to take advantage of me to kill Li Zhong, and then use this as an excuse to come out to pick up a bargain, don't think about it!"

"Go ahead and kill him!"

laugh--

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jingzhong's figure flashed, and he stabbed at Liu Xi, without any intention of holding back his hand.

He admitted that he did underestimate Liu Xi before, but as long as Liu Xi is killed, everything is still within his plan!

Seeing this, Lu Wenzhao and the others frowned, but at the moment it was really hard to get off the horse. Once the news got out, none of them could bear the crime of murdering the deputy governor of the East Factory, so they had to go all the way.

"on!"

With a shout, the four of Lu Wenzhao also made a move.

"A group of miscellaneous fish, overestimate their capabilities!"

Looking at the few people rushing towards him, Liu Xi showed disdain, and then his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the huge zhenqi on his body instantly bloomed, attached to his palms, and blasted forward.

Rumbling--

In an instant, the blue brick exploded, and the attack of Zhao Jingzhong and others hit Liu Xi, not only did not penetrate Liu Xi's body, but was instantly blown away by a terrifying force.

Everyone was shocked.

"You broke through the Grandmaster?!"

Zhao Jingzhong said in amazement, his eyes fixed on the milky white halo wrapped around Liu Xi's body.

Genuine Qi leaves the body and turns into body-protecting Astral Qi, which can only be done in the realm of a master!

Liu Xi chuckled softly and said, "Do you think our family is like a piece of trash like you, who would reveal even a little card in the eyes of others? If we hadn't been concerned about Wan Yulou these years, our family would have squeezed you to death like an ant." Simple! Back then, a dog raised by Wei Zhongxian was worthy of crawling on top of our house, bah! What the hell!"

Zhao Jingzhong's face was ugly, but his heart was extremely heavy. There was a natural moat between Xiantian and Grandmaster, which was difficult to cross.

Now that Liu Xi has broken through the Grandmaster, life and death today are unpredictable.

But at this moment, he also has no way out.

If Liu Xi is not killed, he is the one who will die!
"Go!"

"If you don't kill him, we will all die!"

With a loud shout, Zhao Jingzhong concentrated all his internal energy on the spear, rushed out, and rushed towards Liu Xi again.

The four of Wei Ting and Lu Wenzhao did not hesitate, grasped their weapons tightly, and attacked at the same time.

bang bang bang...

Facing the siege of the six innate masters, Liu Xi was still unafraid, with a calm demeanor, measured advances and retreats, and protected by the body-protecting qi. Zhao Jingzhong and others could not break Liu Xi's defense in a short time.

On the contrary, Zhao Jingzhong and others couldn't get close to Liu Xi's body at all, and they didn't dare to take Liu Xi's attack head-on.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought dozens of rounds, and the situation was extremely fierce.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Zhao Jingzhong was eager for success, and was attracted by a flaw that Liu Xi deliberately exposed, and took the initiative to get close to break Liu Xi's protective energy, but Liu Xi hit his chest with a palm, vomiting blood and flying out.

"puff……"

Zhao Jingzhong's face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly used his internal energy to stabilize the injury.

Looking at the situation on the field, Zhao Jingzhong seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around to look behind him, only to see Ding Xiu standing there watching the battle with great interest, not intending to intervene in the slightest, carrying his big imperial saber.

Zhao Jingzhong vomited blood again almost angrily, and immediately shouted angrily: "Ding Xiu, why don't you make a move?!"

Hearing this, Ding Xiu glanced at him lazily, and said, "Grandpa Zhao, the 200 taels you gave me was just the price to kill Li Zhong. Now that I have killed Li Zhong, you still have 100 taels to pay." Well, to deal with Liu Xi, this is another price."

Zhao Jingzhong is in a hurry, are you fucking looking for money?

But at this moment, he really didn't dare to provoke Ding Xiu, and immediately took out a bag of silver from his bosom and threw it to Ding Xiu, saying, "I'll give it to you, kill Liu Xi for me!"

Ding Xiu finally weighed the bag and nodded with satisfaction: "Deal!"

clang-

In the next second, the long knife suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed towards Liu Xi.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingzhong suppressed his injuries for the time being, and hastily gripped his spear tightly, taking the opportunity to join the battlefield.

Ding Xiu's strength is the strongest among several people. He may not be able to beat the master Liu Xi one-on-one, but in the innate realm, absolutely no one is his opponent.

With Ding Xiu's joining, the situation was instantly reversed.

Because Ding Xiu's attack was able to penetrate Liu Xi's protective qi, Liu Xi's two fists were no match for four hands, and Ding Xiu slashed his chest in a moment, the protective qi burst, and a hideous gash appeared on his chest instantly .

Lu Wenzhao and the others seized the opportunity, took advantage of this gap, rushed forward, and hit Liu Xi with several attacks. Liu Xi screamed and flew backwards.

"who are you?!"

After stabilizing his figure, Liu Xi hastily tapped twice on his chest to stop the blood flow, and looked at the imposing Ding Xiu in surprise and anger.

"Taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, my prodigal son Ding Xiu met Eunuch Liu."

Ding Xiu said with a smile.

Liu Xi gritted his teeth and said, "How much Zhao Jingzhong gave you, our family will give you double. Kill him for me!"

"Sorry, I have professional ethics." Ding Xiu laughed.

Zhao Jingzhong and the others breathed a sigh of relief. This person is both good and evil, and they were really worried that Ding Xiu would turn his head against them.

Liu Xi's face became gloomy, and he looked at Ding Xiu and said, "You will regret your choice!"

As he said that, he shouted angrily: "Shoot!"

After the words fell, he stretched out again and attacked Zhao Jingzhong and the others.

But this time, with him, there are two masters in the innate realm!

Zhao Jingzhong's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop them!"

The dozen or so Houtian warriors who had been watching the battle heard the words and immediately rushed up with their weapons tightly, but the other people brought by Liu Xi's side also made a move, even more people than Zhao Jingzhong's side.

Those two innate masters were not something these acquired warriors could stop. They broke through the formation in the blink of an eye and joined Liu Xi and others on the battlefield.

With the support of two innate warriors, Liu Xi's pressure was greatly reduced. Although he was injured, he was still extremely strong, and his true energy seemed to flow continuously. For a moment, Zhao Jingzhong and others were beaten back again and again.

"what--"

Suddenly, Wei Ting, who was the weakest, was hit by Liu Xi, but before he could get away, a huge suction force suddenly came out from Liu Xi's palm, Wei Ting's face was terrified, she felt that her internal force was forcibly sucked out Outside the body, it poured into Liu Xi's body.

"Inspiration Dafa!"

Zhao Jingzhong and the others also had a drastic change in expression, suddenly remembering that Liu Xi knew a martial art that could absorb people's internal energy.

"Hahaha--"

Liu Xi laughed wildly. With Wei Ting's internal strength supplemented, at this moment, he felt that his true energy was recovering rapidly, and even the injury he suffered just now was slowly recovering.

"Stop him!"

Zhao Jingzhong yelled, and quickly stepped forward with a gun, trying to interrupt Liu Xi's breathing.

However, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian were held back by two innate masters under Liu Xi, and the other four were sent flying as soon as they made a move. The inner strength of the body restores true energy and injuries.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Xi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Just because of you trash, you dare to oppose our family, you..."

boom--

Before the words were finished, a violent energy struck from behind, Liu Xi's expression changed slightly, he subconsciously withdrew his strength, turned around and slammed his palm out.

With palms facing each other, Liu Xi's body trembled, and he retreated a few steps. Just as he stabilized his figure, he felt a sweetness in his throat, but he forced it back, and immediately raised his head to look forward.

I saw a young man who was just like him, also wearing a silver-white python robe, but unbelievably handsome, in front of him at some point, with innate majesty and domineering in his indifferent eyes, his demeanor was very extraordinary.

"Yuhuatian?!"

Liu Xi's expression changed drastically.
