Qiao Leshan led his men to surround Wen Budao and Lu Hong. When Lu Hong saw the wine gourd on the waist of the man in a bamboo hat, he blurted out Qin Xiao's name.

The man took off his bamboo hat and didn't hide anything. He had a clear face and a calm expression. He was indeed Qin Xiao.

"Captain Lu." Qin Xiao actually bowed to Lu Hong politely, and then pointed at Qiao Leshan and said: "This person wants to harm the official prisoners during the escort, arrest the head, we must not let these traitors succeed.

"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was startled.

Lu Hong looked a little ugly and asked: "Did you set the fire?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiao did not deny it: "These people want to harm the officials and prisoners. I have no choice but to secretly set a fire in the woodshed and lure them out of the house, so that I can rescue the officials and prisoners."

Qiao Leshan glanced at Lu Hong and sneered: "Is this the one named Qin?"

"Qin Xiao, why did you come here?" Lu Hong looked solemn: "These things have nothing to do with you, why do you want to get involved yourself?"

Qin Xiao actually took off the wine gourd, took a leisurely sip, and then said: "After Xing Cao issued the downgrade order, I was also very surprised. How could the decided case be changed at any time? I have checked it privately in the past few days.

, only then did I realize that Boss Qiao was behind this."

Qiao Leshan sneered and said lightly: "Do you think I don't know? I know clearly that you want to get something out of Hu Laosan. It's just that even Han Yunong doesn't dare to interfere with Xing Cao's handling of the case. How can you, a little jailer,

What kind of storm is going on?"

"I have always been wondering, if Uncle Wen can really be convicted of a death penalty, why didn't you bribe the prisoner in Turtle City?" Qin Xiao said calmly: "The reason can only be that Uncle Wen's case cannot be decided.

It's a capital crime, so I thought, if you couldn't get Xing Cao to convict him of death in Turtle City, why can you do it in Fenggan Mansion?"

Although Wen Budao was surrounded, he was calm and composed, without any panic, and said with a smile: "He can't do it."

"It really can't be done." Qin Xiao also said with a smile: "So today Uncle Wen was taken away from the Jiazi prison, and I was wondering what you would do to him? Later someone reminded me that this is not possible in Turtle City and Fenggan Mansion.

Let's do it, but it takes several days to travel from Turtle City to Fenggan Mansion, and what to do in the middle is much easier than in the city."

Qiao Leshan knew that the situation was settled. He crossed his arms across his chest and said leisurely: "So you followed us all the way? Qin Xiao, I am really surprised. What is the relationship between Wen Budao and you? You actually insist on it?"

Are you going to swim this backwater?"

"Uncle Wen is a good man, at least compared to you, he is really a good man." Qin Xiao sighed: "I know that such a good man will encounter danger, so of course I can't turn a blind eye." He looked at Lu Hong and said, "I didn't expect it.

Mr. Lu will also be involved in this. I followed him out of the city in the morning. Actually, I just wanted to warn Mr. Lu that he might encounter trouble on the way. But as soon as I left the city, I saw you leading someone behind Mr. Lu.

, so I just want to see what you are going to do."

Qiao Leshan spread his hands and said with a smile: "Now that you know what we are going to do, what can you do?"

Qin Xiao looked directly at Lu Hong and said, "Captain, do you really want to join them?"

The corners of Lu Hong's eyes twitched and he stared at Qin Xiao. His face gradually turned cold. He seemed to have made up his mind and said in a cold voice: "Qin Xiao, I have told you before that it is not easy to be the first person." He turned to the man beside him.

A strong man stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the knife!"

The strong man only thought that Lu Hong was going to take action himself. He looked at Qiao Leshan and saw Qiao Leshan nodded slightly, then handed the sword to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong took the knife, but threw it towards Qin Xiao, and it landed at Qin Xiao's feet. Qiao Leshan frowned and heard Lu Hong say in a deep voice: "Qin Xiao, don't say I didn't give you a chance, just pick up the knife."

, kill Wen Budao with your own hands, and we will not be in trouble with you."

Qiao Leshan immediately understood that Lu Hong did this to drag Qin Xiao into the water, but it also gave Qin Xiao a way to survive.

If Qin Xiao really killed Wen Budao with his own hands, then of course it would be impossible for Qin Xiao to leak out what happened tonight.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wen Butao's mouth, he looked at Qin Xiao and said: "Good boy, you have been extremely kind to me, and I am grateful in my heart." He raised his hand, but the shackles were not removed: "I can't protect myself in this state.

I can't even protect you. If you kill me with your own hands, they probably won't make things difficult for you. If I die, the Captain's Mansion may not be able to get to the bottom of it, but if you make a mistake, Han Yunong will never let it go."

His last words were obviously a reminder to Qiao Leshan that it was best not to kill the people in the Duwei Mansion easily.

Qin Xiao frowned and said to Lu Hong: "Captain Lu, you are an old man in the Duwei's Mansion. Before I even entered the Duwei's Mansion, you were already a fast-moving headcaptain. Master Duwei thinks highly of you.

You have done something wrong. If you can repent, the captain may be able to deal with it leniently, but...!" He raised his finger and pointed at Qiao Leshan and said: "If you and this group of people commit evil, you will really be harmed.

Uncle Wen, it's too late to look back."

"Qin Xiao, I gave you a way to live, but you didn't want it yourself, but don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood." Lu Hong clenched his fist and said.

Qiao Leshan put one hand behind his back, stared into Wen Budao's eyes and said, "Brother, I ask you for the last time, whether you want to tell me or not about the whereabouts of the silver?"

Wen Butao smiled indifferently and said nothing.

Qiao Leshan snorted coldly and waved his hand to let his men rush forward, but Lu Hong had already raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute!"

"Does the arrest mean to let this little beast go?" Qiao Leshan sneered.

Lu Hong's face darkened and he said: "Qiao Leshan, we made it clear before. I will help you handle this matter. I can't lose a penny of 50,000 taels of silver. If you kill him now, where will the money come from?"

"

"The arrester is worrying too much." Qiao Leshan said: "He is dead, but the gambling house is still there. Even if I sell the iron, I promise you that I will not lose a penny of my money."

For Qiao Leshan, it would be great to be able to force out the whereabouts of the silver from Wen Butao, but if Wen Butao refused to explain, he would definitely not be allowed to live.

Lu Hong looked towards Qin Xiao and saw that Qin Xiao had a stern expression and was looking at him. He gritted his teeth and turned his back, no longer looking at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao saw this and knew that Lu Hong had made the final decision and could no longer reverse it.

Qiao Leshan waved his hand, and his men were about to step forward when he suddenly saw Lu Hong raising his arm again. Qiao Leshan looked annoyed, but before he could speak, he heard Lu Hong say in a deep voice: "Listen, it's...

what sound?"

Qiao Leshan was startled, frowned, and listened.

"The sound of hoofbeats!"

One person said immediately.

Someone next to me immediately said: "Yes, it's the sound of horse hooves, coming from... from the north. Hey, yes, it's coming from the inn."

Qiao Leshan's face changed slightly.

Qin Xiao naturally heard it at this time. In the darkness of the night, the sound of horse hooves came from the north. The sound of hooves was intertwined. Apparently there were many horses coming.

"Be careful!" Qiao Leshan shouted in a low voice, clenched his fists, and was on full alert. The four strong men under his hands also clenched their knives.

Although Xiling has not seen any disasters caused by weapons or weapons in recent years, this land has never been truly peaceful.

Although the many cities located in Xiling are in good order, outside the cities there is often another world where bandits often appear.

In the early years, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the Xiling Corridor for their own benefit, the Xiling clan clans worked together to suppress bandits in the name of the Xiling Protectorate. However, they also wiped out several groups of powerful bandits, which once made the Xiling bandits shrink back.

Not out.

In today's Xiling land, although there are almost no large-scale bandits that can threaten the clan, there are still a lot of bandits who are robbing homes and houses here and there.

At this time, a number of riders suddenly came this way. Qiao Leshan and others just thought that there were bandits.

In the night, the horses came like the wind, but in the blink of an eye, seven or eight horses appeared like ghosts, only a few steps away from Qiao Leshan. The first horse reined in the horse, and the tall horse under the seat was long.

With a hiss, a man stood up and stopped at the spot.

The other riders lined up in a row and reined in their horses almost at the same time. They were only half a body behind the first rider, neatly.

The night wind blew, and Qin Xiao could see clearly that there were nine horses in total, all of them black horses. All nine horses had fat legs and long legs. The knights on the horses were all wearing black leather jackets and carrying long burdens.

He has a bow, a saber on his waist, and a black cloak.

What is even more horrifying is that these nine people are all wearing extremely strange masks, they are hideous and terrifying, like ghosts in the dark night.

"You...who are you?" Qiao Leshan saw the strangeness in the other party's majesty, and a chill ran down his spine.

The first rider was wearing a fang mask, and the eyes under the mask were very sharp. He looked up and saw Wen Budao not far behind Qiao Leshan. He turned over and dismounted, and pressed the hilt of the saber on his waist with one hand, turning a blind eye to Qiao Leshan and others.

Walked straight to Wen Bu Dao.

The opponent's approach was fierce and the number of people was overwhelming. Qiao Leshan and others did not dare to act rashly.

The masked man walked up to Wen Butao, and with a "choking" sound, he had already pulled out the sword from his waist. Under the night, the saber glowed with a dark light. The moment the saber was unsheathed, it even made people feel

The cold is coming.

Wen Budao actually had a faint smile on his face, raised his arms, and brought the shackles to the masked man's eyes. The masked man waved his saber without saying a word, then raised the saber and dropped it very quickly. He only heard "click"

"With a sound, the shackles were broken into two pieces.

Lu Hong and others suddenly changed their expressions, and Qin Xiao also let out a light "Ah", thinking that not only was this man's saber extremely sharp, but his sword skills were also extremely good.

"I came a little late, but fortunately it didn't delay things too much." The masked man said softly: "Fifth brother, don't blame me!"

But Wen Budao laughed, patted the masked man on the shoulder, pointed to Qin Xiao beside him and said: "This is my little brother, Yi Bo Yuntian. If it weren't for him, I might not be able to wait until you come."

The masked man didn't care that Qin Xiao was still young. He bowed deeply to Qin Xiao and said with a hint of respect: "Brothers will never forget this kindness and will definitely find an opportunity to repay it."

Qin Xiao finally came to his senses and asked Wen Budao: "The God of Gamblers...Uncle God of Gamblers, they...?"

"Brother Qin, don't be afraid, these are our brothers." Wen Budao said softly: "You are kind to me, you are kind to them."

A strong man next to Qiao Leshan felt weird and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and a feather arrow tore through the air. With a "pop" sound, it had penetrated from the strong man's neck and instantly penetrated the strong man's neck. The words behind the strong man could not be uttered at all.

With the sound, his body swayed and fell forward to the ground.
