At midnight.

Because there was no entertainment, the residents of the town went to bed early, and the lights in every household were extinguished, preparing to sleep today.

But Chen Xia didn't. He was walking on the street holding a big lantern.

Rogue bandits like to operate at night. The town is undefended at night and needs to be guarded.

Chen Xia simply took a lantern and wandered around. If he found bandits, he could naturally stop their criminal behavior first.

He wandered all the way, feeling a little bored, so he climbed over the wall of someone else's house, took out the melon seeds he had brought with him, and began to knock them out of boredom.

Just after eating two pills, Chen Xia's eyes suddenly froze.

He saw lights shining in the distance, approaching the entire Weixi Town at great speed.

Chen Xia jumped off the courtyard wall with a lantern in hand and hurried towards the light.

At the entrance of the town.

When the blacksmith who met the bandits hurriedly ran out, he smiled flatteringly.

"The boss, here, here!"

The leading man glanced at him and asked with a fierce expression: "Which one should we go to first?"

When rogue bandits plunder, they naturally come one by one. They first tie them up and control them, and then slowly torture them and steal their money.

The blacksmith smiled flatteringly, pointed inside, and said quickly: "Go to the house in the town first. There is only one little girl. Her father used to be a patrol captain, but he was drafted and left. There should be a lot of silver left."

"Haha." The big man grinned, "This little girl should be the one you want, right?"

"Exactly, exactly, the wise master!" the blacksmith quickly agreed with a flattering smile.

The big man put his hand on the long knife at his waist and said with a smile: "I want to see what this little lady looks like, can she make you so dreamy? If it is the best, do you mind if I taste it first?"

"

The blacksmith trembled, his pupils shrank, and he did not answer.

"What?" The big man's eyes narrowed, feeling a little chilly, "You don't want me to try it too, do you want to eat alone?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, just give it a try, boss." The blacksmith nodded quickly.

"That's right." The big man nodded, and with a group of gangsters behind him, he lowered his steps and hurried toward Xu Zhen's house without anyone noticing.

Da da.

There was a slow knock on the door.

The bandits did not choose to climb over the wall. It was not because they did not want to climb over, but because someone had put many spikes on the ugly courtyard wall.

This was naturally Chen Xia's work to protect Xu Zhen from being missed by thieves.

The bandits didn't dare to break in directly for fear of disturbing others, so they asked the blacksmith to knock on the door.

Light footsteps came from inside the house, and then stopped quickly, leaving no sound.

Da da.

The blacksmith knocked on the door twice more.

"Who is it?" Xu Zhen's crisp voice finally came from inside the room.

The blacksmith raised a lewd smile on his lips, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and replied as calmly as possible.

"Xiao Xu, it's me, the blacksmith in the town. Inspector Chen asked me to come and see you. He said there might be bandits entering the town. Please open the door quickly."

Xu Zhen's beautiful brows furrowed, her body was wrapped in a thin nightgown, and she did not go to open the door.

Chen Xia told her that at night, don’t open the door if anyone knocks on the door. If you hear someone knocking on the door, just shout for help and run away through the back tunnel.

This tunnel is connected to Chen Xia's home.

But Chen Xia would not open the door when she came to see her, but would go straight into the tunnel.

So Xu Zhen immediately became vigilant, said nothing, and planned to escape from the tunnel first.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you? Open the door for me quickly!" the blacksmith shouted hurriedly.

But there was no movement inside the house.

The bandit became impatient, cut the lock with a knife, kicked open the door and walked in.

Xu Zhen just returned to the house and made a sound of closing the door.

"Ha, you want to hide?!" The big man smiled disdainfully and walked towards Xu Zhen's house with a big knife in hand.

"Xiao Xu, come out quickly, we won't hurt you." The blacksmith's eyes were greedy, and he persuaded him to surrender early, fearing that the bandits would be ruthless and hurt Xu Zhen, which would destroy the beauty.

Xu Zhen anxiously pushed aside the table pressing against the tunnel and prepared to unlock the door, but she couldn't find the key.

The bandits were approaching step by step, and their dull footsteps were like sharp knives, pressing against Xu Zhen's heart bit by bit, almost making her unable to breathe.

The more panicked the person became, the more confused she became. Xu Zhen's mind became cloudy and she could almost hear her own anxious heartbeat.

The bandits were approaching, accompanied by the sound of sharp knives scratching the ground, like hungry wolves about to bite the sheep.

Everything was simply depressing to the extreme.

Xu Zhen's breathing became rapid, and her mind seemed to be about to collapse.

She seemed to be drowning, eager to find a life-saving straw.

"What are you doing, one by one?!"

A loud voice came.

Xu Zhen's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. She knew that the life-saving straw was coming, but she quickly became worried and hurried to the window to look outside.

The bandits stopped and all turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

He is a patrolman carrying a lantern.

"Haha!" The leader of the big man laughed, pointed at Chen Xia, and asked the blacksmith on the side.

"Is this the only patrol in your town?"

The blacksmith nodded quickly, "It's him, Chen Xia, who usually has the best relationship with Xu Zhen, and now he will definitely come to ruin our good things!"

There was a hint of jealousy and resentment in the blacksmith's words.

The big man shook his head and pretended to be sorry: "Then after today, there will be no patrols in Weixi Town, haha."

Chen Xia also recognized these people as bandits, but did not expect that the blacksmith would be a mole.

Looking at this appearance, the blacksmith still has some evil thoughts about Xu Zhen.

Chen Xia put the lantern aside and put down the sword on his waist.

"Haha, what are you doing? You can't surrender, but we don't want to surrender either." The big man sneered, pointed at his crotch, and said.

"How about you get under my crotch, kowtow a few more times, and call me grandpa twice, then I might consider sparing your life."

"Ha ha."

The bandits all laughed sarcastically.

Xu Zhen looked out from the window, her whole heart was troubled, she clasped her little hands together and kept chanting.

"Gods and Bodhisattvas, please keep Brother Chen from getting into trouble. You must protect him. I beg you."

Chen Xia rolled up his sleeves, stood upright, and pointed at the leader of the rogue bandits.

His eyes emitted an inexplicable light in the dark night, like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone. He stretched out his hand and said calmly.

"You, come here and die."

"Huh?" The big man was stunned for a moment, then pulled out the sword from his waist, grinned a cruel smile, and said sarcastically.

"You beast, maybe you have evil spirits in your head. You can't tell how much you weigh. How dare you challenge your grandfather? I'll chop you up with two knives and throw you into a pig pen to feed the pigs!"

Chen Xia stopped talking, turned his back to the night, and walked directly towards the big man.

The big man smiled cruelly. Since this kid didn't know whether to live or die, he just cut him in two.

"Die!"

He roared angrily, raised the sword with both hands, and hung it in the air, shining with a cold light.

This is a bone-cutting sword in the army. It is specially designed to kill cavalry. With one strike, the four legs of the war horse will be severed, and even the bones will be neatly trimmed.

Only a warrior like him can wield such a bone-cutting sword!

A small patrolman, just cut in half with a knife.

The blade roared in the air, shining with a bloodthirsty cold light.

The big man has a strong body and a ferocious sword.

No matter from any point of view, Chen Xia is absolutely lifeless.

The bandits on the side were already grinning, planning to take a good look at the torn body of the patrolman later.

Xu Zhen closed her eyes, not daring not to see this scene, and could only keep praying in her heart.

Bodhisattva bless, gods bless, Brother Chen will be fine, definitely!

It was quiet for about two seconds without any sound.

Xu Zhen opened her eyes in confusion.

Chen Xia looked dull, grabbed the bone-cutting sword with one hand, twisted it casually, unscrewed the blade, and dropped it to the ground.

He showed a contemptuous smile towards the big man and asked.
