Chapter 48: The storm resurfaces
Sleepless overnight.
The next morning, Li Xiu went to the inspector's camp in person, handed the promised reward, and after making some polite conspiracy with the inspector Zhao Jing, he hurried back to the house.
The house at this time was no longer the silence that was before.
The Jinyiwei, who had clearly shown his identity, naturally no longer needed to hide like before. They had already changed into Jinyiwei's armor and clothes, carried guns and knives, and guarded the house in an orderly manner.
The two waves of White Lotus prisoners, Wang Haoxian and Hou Mingxian, were also separated and held in the temporarily renovated room. The tragic wailing sounds have never stopped since the interrogation began.
As for the pharmacy shopkeeper and the old doctor Sun who were detained together, after learning about Li Xiu's identity, they were all so scared that their faces were pale and begging for mercy tremblingly.
Li Xiu was too lazy to argue with the shopkeeper. After chatting with Dr. Sun for a few words, he sent the two back to the pharmacy.
Just as Li Xiu was about to go to the room to check the interrogation, the bloody Erwa walked out of the room.
"Brother Xiu, Wang Haoxian and Hou Mingxian are very stubborn, and they haven't even spoken yet, but their subordinates have also given some explanation..."
“What’s the situation?”
Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"According to their explanation, Wang Haoxian was originally with Xu Hongru..."
After listening to Erwazi's statement, Li Xiu then had a rough understanding of the current situation of the White Lotus Sect.
As expected before, it is nothing more than fighting for power and profit.
Since the death of the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect has developed their own development under the leadership of Xu Hongru and Wang Haoxian, and the focus areas of both sides are different.
It was originally a situation of peace and stability, but the White Lotus Sect leader was hanging in the air, so it was destined that it was impossible for the two to be safe.
After a fight, Wang Haoxian was undoubtedly defeated, and Xu Hongru became the biggest winner.
Then the White Lotus Sect who pursued Wang Haoxian were either incorporated by Xu Hongru or died, and then the current situation was here.
"Where is the nearby White Lotus Sect, has it been reviewed?"
"These ordinary White Lotus believe that they don't know."
Erwazi shook his head: "The two of them are very stubborn. They are both seriously injured, and I dare not use a major punishment."
"In this way, don't try to examine anything first. It's useless to us if we find out anything."
"Let's talk when the superiors send someone to come. You can make arrangements to remind all the brothers. These are all desperate people. Don't capsize in the gutter."
"Also, you can take someone to the pharmacy in the city later, follow this recipe and buy a batch of medicinal materials and buy more."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Erwazi hurried away, Li Xiu glanced at the military books on the stone table and the book of iron armor, glanced at the entire yard, and his eyes were frozen on the book of iron armor.
Although fame and fortune are important, martial arts is the foundation of one's life. Li Xiu saw this very clearly.
Immersed in martial arts, time often passes quickly. For Li Xiu, it seems that in just a short moment, the sky outside has already had a little more twilight.
"call……"
After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Xiu slowly stood up, moved his muscles and looked around the courtyard. It has to be said that the second child had arranged it very well. The bonfire in the courtyard had been lit. Under the flames, a group of teenagers guarded the various places in an orderly manner. In this small courtyard, a very complete defense system was constructed.
"Brother Xiu, what's this? I've been watching you for a day?"
Erwazi put on armor and fell on his sword, walked up to the stone table and looked at it, asking in confusion.
"You can't watch it yourself?"
Li Xiu glanced at the books on the stone table and said something angrily.
"No, no, no, I get a headache when I see these words!"
Erwazi waved his hands repeatedly, looking unhappy.
"You boy!"
Li Xiu shook his head helplessly: "This is a horizontal practice, which is not bad. If you want to learn, just think about it yourself!"
"ah?"
"Brother Xiu, just teach me!"
"Tell me, what are you doing for having learned so many words? You don't know how to read it yourself..."
He scolded him angrily, and Li Xiu walked to the stone table a few steps, picked up the iron armored craftsmanship, and stuffed it into Erwazi's arms.
"Look at it yourself. When will I figure it out thoroughly? I will test you again!"
"No!"
Erwazi immediately looked bitter and shouted a few words, but when he saw Li Xiu's undeniable gaze, he immediately put his words back.
"who!"
At this moment, a sudden stern shout sounded in the silence.
"Brother Xiu, there is someone!"
The sound came into his ears, and Li Xiu's heart suddenly jumped. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the young man holding on the roof had rushed into the darkness. Then, a flash of fire flashed, and a sound of a musket exploded in the night sky.
"Precaution the prisoners, everyone, don't be confused!"
Seeing that the young men in the house looked attracted, Li Xiu immediately shouted!
The blade was unsheathed and stepped out a few steps. Li Xiu jumped, and tapped his toes lightly. He had reached the roof in a few steps. In the darkness, he could clearly see a figure staggering and running away from the street.
Looking around, in the northwest direction, a man in black was also running wildly on the stretched roof.
"Catch him!"
In an instant, Li Xiu made a decision and pointed at the obviously injured man in black and shouted violently.
Before the voice fell, he rushed out first and ran on the stretched roof. In just a few breaths, the distance between the man in black was more than several feet closer!
"Brother Xiu, musket!"
Erwazi followed closely and shouted, and the Lumi gun that had already lit the fuse was thrown over. Li Xiu was quick-eyed and his hands jumped. When he jumped, the thrown musket was held in his hand.
Bang!
Another gunshot.
The projectile shot was shot out of the cavity, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed dozens of steps, covering the figure that was fleeing desperately.
But what surprised Li Xiu was that the escaped figure just staggered and still ran away as if nothing had happened.
"Hold!"
This scene came into view, and Li Xiu couldn't help but curse. At this moment, he couldn't stand thinking too much. He threw the musket down and ran after him again.
Fortunately, although the two fire guns were fired, they did not cause fatal injuries to the man in black, they were obviously seriously injured.
After chasing again, the distance between the two was obviously much closer in a few steps.
"Stop!"
Seeing the distance getting closer, Li Xiufu felt as if he was heartbroken. He waved his arm suddenly, and the long sword in his hand came out, like a silver thread passing through the night sky. In an instant, the long sword directly penetrated the thigh of the man in black.
Chapter completed!
