Seeing Qiao Xianyong draw out his sword, Xi'er did not stop him and stood quietly aside with his hands lowered.
Qiao Xianyong remembered the request that his master had made when he said goodbye to him at the foot of Mount Dai, "Within these three months, punish five evil people, cut off their right ears, and bring them to me."
At this moment, the Shangguanlian in front of him was the most evil person he had ever seen in his life!
With the fierce anger in his heart, Qiao Xianyong's Mo sword took action without hesitation, and accurately cut off Shangguanlian's right ear with a "swish" sound!
Blood spurted out from the right side of Shangguanlian's face. He screamed in pain, fainted, and lay down on the muddy ground.
Qiao Xianyong held the ink sword in his hand, the tip of the sword shook, and stabbed towards Shangguan Lian's heart.
In the flash of lightning, the tip of the sword had pierced the skin of Shangguanlian's chest, and blood oozed out before his eyes. The bright red blood seemed to stimulate Qiao Xianyong's nerves. His wrist trembled, and the force of the sword stopped.
Although he has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, has met many opponents of all sizes, and has occasionally injured people in fierce battles, Qiao Xianyong has never taken anyone's life in his life.
He hesitated.
For people in the world, whether they are good or evil, who should decide their life and death? Take Qiao Xianyong himself as an example, if he dies unexpectedly one day, why should he die at the hands of whom?
Just like Shangguan Lian lying in the dirt at the moment, he had indeed committed many evil deeds and had harmed the innocence and lives of many innocent young girls. But at this moment, Qiao Xianyong felt that he had no choice but to take his life away so easily.
Xi'er, who was watching with great interest, saw Qiao Xianyong Mu Ran stop her hand and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qiao, why are you hesitating? Do such evil people deserve to live in this world? Do you still want to live in this world?"
Do you want to keep his life to harm more innocent people?"
Xi'er's words shook Qiao Xianyong's thoughts like the thunder just now. Yes, should this evil man be allowed to live to cause more misfortune? What ability does Qiao Xianyong have? Can he change this evil man's mind from evil?
To change for the better, do you want to spare his life?
Qiao Xianyong was cruel and aimed at Shangguanlian's left chest and raised the Mo sword again.
"Stop!" In this dark rainy night, a sinister sound like an owl's howl at night suddenly came out. This sound was sharp and thin, reaching people's ears like needle pricks.
Qiao Xianyong instinctively raised his sword and took a step forward to protect himself and Xi'er.
From the crown of the tree overhead, a man wearing a purple-brown robe and a bronze mask flew down like a nighthawk and landed steadily beside Shangguan Lian. The strange thing is that although the rain was dense,
But it didn't seem like the weirdo got wet.
The person who came was thin, but almost as tall as Qiao Xianyong. The only thing that could be seen through the mask were his eyes, which were completely white, with no pupils visible at all. It was so terrifying that they looked like
Comes from the underworld.
The man kicked Shangguan Lian's body with his toes. Shangguan Lian was still as soft as a puddle of mud, motionless.
Qiao Xianyong said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why do you want to protect this evil person on the ground! Get out of the way!"
The man glanced sideways at Qiao Xianyong and said sinisterly, "Is this guy who is neither a man nor a woman worthy of my protection? I just see that you are hesitant, why don't I help you finish him off!" Before he finished speaking, only
Seeing this man put his foot on a key point on Shangguanlian's chest, Shangguanlian suddenly sat up, his eyes bulging out, and then spurted out a large stream of blood. His eyes turned white and he collapsed on the ground. It seemed that it was impossible.
.
This sudden change shocked Qiao Xianyong. Xi'er rushed forward and reached out to touch Shangguanlian's breath. Then she looked at Qiao Xianyong and shook her head, which meant that Shangguanlian was indeed dead.
"This, you, who are you!" Qiao Xianyong really didn't understand why this unrelated stranger suddenly killed him.
The eerie laughter came from behind the man's bronze mask like a ghost, and then he jumped up and disappeared into the rainy night.
Xi'er and Qiao Xianyong looked at each other, and Xi'er said, "Brother Qiao, I think the matter here is over. Although I don't know who is coming, Shangguanlian has made an apology in this life. I think I will rush back to Daishan that night to report back to Mr. Wen."
, you might as well go back to the escort office early, lest others discover that you are out late at night and cause trouble."
Qiao Xianyong was stunned for a while, as if he didn't hear Xi'er's words. He suddenly said, "Brother Xi'er, did you see anything strange about the purple-robed man just now?"
Xi'er shook her head and said, "Apart from the extremely small black pupils in his eyes, which are different from ordinary people, I don't see anything else strange about him."
"His purple robe is embroidered with dark patterns, and that pattern is the pattern engraved on the green bricks in the corner of Tianfeng Inn!" Qiao Xianyong said with certainty, "This man is not a passerby at all. In my opinion, he has already
They have been keeping an eye on us in Guang'an Town for some time!"
Xi'er heard this and said nervously, "No, if that's the case, he might be Mr. Wen's enemy! Brother Qiao, brother, I have to take the first step! I hope your trip to the capital goes well. Let's meet again in three months!"
As soon as it fell, Xi'er cupped her hands and ran towards Daishan without touching the ground.
Qiao Xianyong saw Xi'er leaving very fast, and thought that if he stayed outside for too long in the middle of the night, it would be easy for him to have flaws, so it would be better to return to the escort office as soon as possible. So he also kicked Shangguan Lian. Although Shangguan Lian did not die from
With his own hands, he can no longer harm others, so he can be considered as getting rid of an evil person.
Qiao Xianyong recalled what his master Wei Hong had told him. He picked up the Shangguanlian's right ear that had just been cut off from the muddy ground, shook off the muddy water on it, put it into his arms, and then returned to the Baisha Escort Agency.
Fortunately, no one noticed that the side door of the inner palace was unlocked. He quietly returned to the mansion, slipped back into his room, took off his wet clothes and hid them under the bed.
Because he was too tired that night, Qiao Xianyong slept very soundly and did not have any weird dreams.
The next morning, he was still awakened by the yelling in the courtyard.
"The new bride is missing! You hurry up and look for her everywhere in the house!" The third child hurriedly knocked open the room where Qiao Xianyong, Mao Mao and others were sleeping, and shouted breathlessly.
Qiao Xian was never good at hypocrisy. He knew that the disappearance of Shangguan Lian would definitely cause panic in the mansion. He also imitated others and got dressed in a hurry and followed the third son to the inner mansion. He saw dozens of servants and old ladies waiting for him.
The servants had gathered together in confusion.
In front of him was the furious Manager Yu, who shouted loudly, "Which one is the last to see the new bride? Which one has the locked door?"
