Chapter 76 City Guards

Yellow talismans were scattered all over the sky.

When the first explosion sounded, thousands of people who had come to the crossroads to watch the killing were thrown into chaos and screamed in fear.

The county lieutenant on the execution platform was the first to see the figures on the eaves behind the talisman paper.

There were dozens of them in total. After the first piece of talisman paper, all the yellow talismans in the sky fell to the ground, onto the wall, and exploded.

Some yellow papers contain strange power, like gunpowder, which explodes when they fall to the ground.

Some emitted yellow light and thick smoke, disrupting the scene.

Suddenly, in a flash, the scene was filled with thick smoke, fog and flames.

So what about Chen Ku?

He saw several sheets of yellow paper with thick smoke and flames explode on the vegetable stall on the left.

For a moment,

Chen Kuren disappeared.

Thick smoke, flames, and blind spots obscured the view.

People's feet...

Before I knew it, a white mink the size of a mouse appeared.

It was only the size of a palm, like a small white mouse, and it avoided the impact of the fire during the lightning strike.

Chen Ku turned into a white mink the size of a mouse and instantly dodged back and forth among the hurried footsteps of various people.

Avoiding the panicked people on the street and the detectives' big feet trampling back and forth.

At the same time, the entire vegetable market at the intersection was in chaos. All kinds of noises and sounds, and screams of fear, all poured into the ears of the white mink that was dodging and running under people's feet.

"Oh, my legs, my legs are blown off!"

"My face is covered in blood, help!"

"Who is so bold as to come and rob the execution ground?"

"Oh no! Be careful! Protect the county lieutenant!"

"It's all smoke, I can't see anything!"

There were all kinds of chaotic sounds, including the shouting of the people, people being injured, and the roars of the detectives.

Amidst these sounds, the little mink dodged the messy footsteps and soles of shoes, and slowly got into a tall building behind a pile of ruins, grabbing onto the beams.

After a few breaths, he arrived at the beam of a hidden room in Caishikou, and used his two small eyes to secretly watch the sudden accident outside through the cracks in the roof...

"What the hell? A robbery? Isn't this something that only happens in TV dramas? It actually happened!"

The marten transformed by Chen Ku.

Now I am hiding under a tile of the tallest three-story building at the intersection. From my high vantage point, I can clearly see everything that happens above and below the intersection.

The execution site below was already surrounded by thick smoke, and many people could not be seen clearly, as if a dozen smoke bombs had been thrown at them.

Chen Ku saw that on some roofs there were many mysterious people with masks on and tight clothes.

With the reminder of the changing chart, their identities are no longer a secret to Chen Ku.

"What kind of descendant of the Heian Dao demon and the chivalrous king?"

Chen Ku felt a chill in his heart.

Ping An Dao, isn't that the evil cult that injured Master Yang, the strongest man in the Five Realms, and even seriously injured Old Shang?

But what is this descendant of the chivalrous king?
He hasn't heard of it.

The two groups of people seemed to be working together.

After disrupting the scene with the help of the Ping An Dao talisman.

Masked men wearing conical hats jumped onto the execution scene one after another and rushed directly towards one of the death row prisoners.

"that person……"

Chen Ku could see clearly that it was the man he had thought was different from the other death row inmates, whose face was now covered with a black cloth...

But Chen Ku's keen sense of smell allowed him to tell that she was a woman.

"They robbed the execution ground... because of this woman."

So, subconsciously, he wanted to see the reaction of the county lieutenant. After all, robbing an execution ground was something that was intolerable under any circumstances and the offender would be executed along with all nine generations of his clan. It was a terrible act tantamount to rebellion.

Unexpectedly.

Under Chen Ku's small eyes, he saw a group of mysterious people rushing towards the death row prisoner.

The Ma County Magistrate was sitting on the execution platform, but he remained calm and just shouted:
"These evil and rebellious gangs are ignorant of life and death, capture them all!"

This was accompanied by a loud shout from the Ma County Magistrate.

Chen Ku saw that one hundred and fifty Baojiao County guards suddenly rushed out from the numerous shops at the intersection. All of them were armed with swords and in armor, and they were full of momentum.

When Chen Ku saw the 150 city guards, his heart was shaken violently.

This is the difference between the county and the countryside.

Every county, no matter how small, is a city with city walls and moats.

Since it is a city, it naturally needs an army to defend it.

The imperial army is not like the detectives. They are professional soldiers.

Their job is to collect military pay and train every day, which is equivalent to not having to go to work. A lot of resources are piled up for them every day, and they just need to practice.

This behavior is also called "raising troops" and "training troops."

Not usually used.

But the critical moment was when the city guards came out.

Chen Ku heard that in the city guards, every sergeant was a master of internal energy, and the men under their command who were wearing swords and armor had also cultivated their own strength.

Looking at the 150 city guards, there are at least 30 sergeants, or 30 internal energy masters.

Above the sergeant, there are lieutenant colonels and captains, all of whom are masters who are far superior to internal energy.

Equipped with the special armor of the imperial court, which is invulnerable to swords and spears, it can be said that just 150 city guards are able to completely wipe out any force in the city, such as the Medicine King Hall, the Fish and Dragon Society, and the Firewood and Iron Shop!
The underworld forces should never think that they can compare with the professional army of the imperial court.

After all, the world's greatest resources and largest population are in the hands of the imperial court.

For example, a master of the inner energy realm can be considered a well-known figure among the underworld forces in the county.

But in the eyes of the court and the government, these people can be mass-produced using resources and time.

For example, Chen Ku’s brother-in-law Li Yuancheng.

He was just an ordinary person originally. It was after he joined the border army and learned the border army's sword skills and qigong that he reached the internal energy realm.

At this time, the 150 city guards surrounded and pressed towards the mysterious people who were robbing the execution ground.

At this moment, this group of mysterious people had taken the lead in occupying the execution site and killed more than a dozen constables and jailers, as well as the executioner who was quite skilled in swordsmanship.

A man stepped forward and took off the woman's black mask, his voice excited:
"Minjun, uncle is here. He will definitely rescue you."

Chen Ku saw the woman whose mask was torn off. There were no injuries on her body or face, but her skin color was not very good, and she looked like an ordinary thin woman.

The woman opened her mouth.

The mysterious man with the old voice immediately pressed a few times on his body to unblock the acupuncture points.

The woman cried anxiously, "Uncle, you've been fooled... Shangguan Yun, that scum, wanted you to save me. How could you be fooled by him?"

The old man said anxiously: "Even though I know it's a crime, I still have to save you. Otherwise, your bloodline will be cut off... Now is not the time to talk about this. You should follow the incense master of Ping An Dao and leave!"

Having said that, he handed the girl over to a Taoist priest in yellow. The Taoist priest in yellow said nothing, but just stuck two pieces of talismans under his feet, then suddenly he flashed and climbed up into the house.

It was so fast that Chen Ku couldn't even catch a glimpse of the afterimage:

"What is that? The armored horse of Dai Zong, the Speedy Guardian?"

He looked at the group of mysterious people below. Although they had been surrounded by the city guards, it seemed that because they had already rescued the people they wanted to rescue, they were ready to leave if they could, or leave their lives here completely.

But you should escape if you can at the first opportunity.

But before escaping, the old man's eyes flashed, and he cut off the shackles and fetters on the remaining death row prisoners:

"My dear fellows, don't think about anything else. I am untying you for a simple reason. I know that you are all serious criminals who have practiced martial arts. If we scatter and escape, everyone will have a better chance of survival!"

As soon as these words were spoken, without caring about the death row prisoners including Ni Kun, dozens of mysterious people fled while the smoke and fire were still there.

Ni Kun had never thought that he would have a chance to survive. He was overjoyed. Although he knew that the other party was using him and others as cannon fodder to stop the city guards from chasing him, but...

After all, it gave him a chance to continue living!
"What are you still standing there for? Run away!!"

Ni Kun yelled at the other death row inmates. Even though he had suffered a lot in prison these days, he still had some internal energy. He stepped on the ground and flew onto the roof. He ran away in one direction, into an alley, and then escaped.

When Chen Ku took a look, what he saw was not Ni Kun, but the evil spirit and merit of the inner energy realm.

"If I remember correctly, there is a profession in the county called a ghostwriter, who does things for the government and arrests criminals. The price quoted on Ni Kun's wanted poster last time was eight hundred taels of silver, which was actually the reward for this kind of 'ghostwriter'..."

Chen Ku looked at Ni Kun who was walking in circles and smiled:
"Can God hear me? Now it's hard for me to punish you."

The marten kicked off with all four legs and jumped out of the beam at a speed three times faster than Ni Kun, and chased after him in the alley.

While Chen Ku was chasing Ni Kun.

The city guards were divided into teams of five, and they surrounded and killed the dozens of people from Ping An Dao and the descendants of the King of Heroes in different directions, and they didn't even bother with Ni Kun and the other prisoners.

"Sir, are we just going to ignore those prisoners?" the county lieutenant's lawyer asked curiously.

Lieutenant Ma stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry. The county magistrate is in control. No one can escape. This time, the whole army will be wiped out. There are only a few death row prisoners. We have our own ghostwriters in the city to catch them. The old man who is the descendant of the chivalrous king wants to involve the city guards with this little trick. It's too naive."

The county lieutenant's advisor agreed with this and thought that this bunch of evil villains and bandits were simply ridiculous. Even if they had some strength, how could they be enemies with the county magistrate who controlled the heads of more than 100,000 households and all the resources in Baojiao County?

Whether in terms of military force, resources, status or wisdom, they are simply not on the same level.

………………

Ni Kun was running madly in the alleys. He knew the layout of Baojiao County very well. Caishikou was in the outer city. He only needed to cross one more street and he could leave the city! !

live!
live!

Only those who have experienced the shadow of death just now can understand how important it is to be alive.

Of course,
But just when he was about to rush out of the alley.

A young man in black suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"It's you! Little beast..."

Before Ni Kun could recognize the man and say a few words, the young man immediately swung an iron rod and hit him head-on.
