Unexpectedly, he would see this colleague with whom he did not have a good relationship here. Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Huang Shihu, I should be asking you this, why are you here?"
"snort!"
Huang Shihu came with a few of his men, snorted coldly, and looked at Chai Tiefeng, Chang Qing and others:
"Most of the intelligence network in the west of the city was established by me. What are you doing sneaking around here today? It turns out you got the information from Hu Dabiao and came here to pick peaches?"
Chen Zheng suddenly frowned, but Chang Qing looked slightly embarrassed and said:
"Master Huang, what you said is a bit wrong, isn't it? The intelligence network of the Supervision Department is shared and anyone can use it. We just happened to find out, how can we say we are picking peaches?"
"I said yes, but what is your identity and dare to question me?"
After Huang Shihu scolded him unceremoniously, he said indifferently:
"Chen Zheng, take your men back. You don't need to intervene here."
The clay figurine is still very angry, let alone someone like Chen Zheng.
The other party was so domineering and obviously wanted to monopolize the credit. Chen Zheng smiled:
"Huang Shihu, don't rely on your seniority to show off to me. We are on the same level. You are not qualified to command me, right?"
Huang Shihu's calm eyes flashed with evil spirit:
"You are a newcomer who bought an official position, so what if you are commanded? Let me tell you, I have received the news yesterday, and dispatched troops from the National Defense Forces to monitor and deploy. Today I am preparing to close the net. If you alert the snake, don't blame me.
polite!"
Chen Zheng was not worried and thought:
"If the person hiding in that house is really the senior leader of the Tianmu Sect, then he must be a master of the blood exchange level. Are you sure you can take him down?"
Huang Shihu sneered:
"Do you think everyone is the same as you people? I, Huang Shihu, am able to reach this position because I killed many famous thieves and gangsters with one knife, one shot, one punch and one kick. That courtyard only lives in
Alone, since I am ready to close the net, I am naturally confident enough not to bother you."
This old boy is so crazy.
Chen Zheng was not annoyed when he heard this, his eyes flashed, but he said:
"Okay, since you are so confident, I want to take a closer look to see if you can capture the monster inside."
Obviously taking Chen Zheng's words as a sign of weakness and concession, Huang Shihu narrowed his eyes and warned:
"Want to watch? Yes, you can watch it as long as it is ten feet away from the house and does not affect the place I have arranged. Don't say I didn't warn you. I have deployed dozens of crossbowmen nearby. Arrows within ten feet have no eyes. If not,
Heed the advice and approach at your own risk."
With that said, he didn't care about the ugly faces of Chai Tiefeng and others, and left with a few of his men while waving.
When these people disappeared, Chang Qing and others looked very ugly:
"This Huang Shihu is so domineering!"
"Does he think that in the entire Supervision Department, he is the most shrewd and capable with outstanding methods, and everyone else is just a loser!?"
"Straight bitch!"
The four of them were scolding each other secretly, obviously dissatisfied with him. Chen Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Has this person always been like this?"
Chai Tiefeng sighed:
"Huang Shihu is a self-proclaimed and self-willed person. Although he is very capable in cultivation, he is not favored by the superiors. He has been here since he came here. And Sir, you should know to some extent that the purpose of the Supervision Department is to suppress the Evil Punishment Department and even the criminal arrests.
Established by the company.
However, it later became a gold-plated place for connections, and the patrols that came and went made few people really capable of doing things. Huang Shihu, who had made outstanding achievements in the city guard army, naturally looked down upon these colleagues, so."
Chen Zheng couldn't help but touch his chin: "It turns out he is quite capable."
Chang Qing was obviously still a little unwilling and asked:
"Sir, what should we do? Are we really just watching from the sidelines?"
Chen Zheng chuckled and said:
"Don't you understand that when a snipe and a clam quarrel, the fisherman will benefit? If the person in that house is really the leader of the Tianmu Divine Sect, how can it be easy to deal with? Let them take the lead first."
The four of them looked at each other and felt that it made sense, and they immediately flattered each other:
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"As expected of you, I never thought of that."
Chen Zheng automatically filtered out these useless flatteries and looked at the street not far away, thoughtfully.
In fact, he always felt that something was not right about this information.
After all, he had been in the mountain stronghold for so long, so he had some understanding of the situation and style of the expatriate members.
Under the high-pressure suppression by the imperial court, churchgoers outside were often cautious, walking on thin ice, and did not dare to reveal their identities at all;
With their level of caution, it is unlikely that they would do something as eye-catching as buying pig eyes every day.
Could it be that the Tianmu Divine Sect did this deliberately and wanted to set up a trap?
Even more impossible.
This is Lingqiu County. No matter how rotten the government office is, the power it controls is extremely powerful. Unless the people of the Tianmu Divine Sect are insane, it is impossible to ambush the government officials in this city.
So, who could be inside?
Not to mention Chen Zheng's suspicion.
After a while.
In a requisitioned private house.
Six capable and powerful subordinates stood at attention and obeyed orders. Huang Shihu looked at one of them and said slowly:
"How's it going? Did they do anything strange?"
The man cupped his hands and smiled lowly:
"No, they are still at the end of the street. There are adults here, so Inspector Chen will definitely not ask for trouble again."
Huang Shihu sneered: "A well-connected person still wants to compete with me for credit? It's just a joke."
Another person also laughed and said:
"Some time ago, I heard that he handled an evil incident and helped Commander Liu make a lot of money. Looking at his tall and burly appearance, I didn't expect that he was also a flatterer."
Huang Shihu said indifferently:
"The court is corrupted, and there are more and more such insects, but after all, this kind of thing will not be able to enter the elegant hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps and a knock on the door, and then a dark-skinned, muscular man in plain clothes pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing this person coming in, Huang Shihu said in a deep voice:
"Li Baihu, are all the crossbowmen in place?"
The man known as Li Baihu raised his hands and said: "Everyone is in position. There are fifteen crossbowmen in the southeast, northwest and four directions. They use iron-armed crossbows and fine steel arrows. The arrows are coated with poison. They are kept so that they can't fly without wings!"
"very good!"
Huang Shihu’s eyes are all in control:
"Although the information we have received is that there is only one person in the house, don't be careless. I will lead the people to capture him first, and you will lead the crossbowmen around to support him. Be careful not to shoot him dead, he will live!"
"clear."
Li Baihu promised:
"When do you plan to take action, sir?"
It was already approaching dusk, and Huang Shihu said in a deep voice: "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Since the crossbowmen are already in place, it would be a long night to start now!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed with a loud voice and immediately followed Huang Shihu and pushed out the door.
This private house was less than ten feet away from the target, and all the idle people on the street were cleared. Huang Shihu took two marrow practitioners and four viscera-level confidants and went straight to the target house.
After arriving at the house, in the alleys and street corners not far away, groups of sergeants carrying iron-armed crossbows appeared silently from all directions, taking their positions and surrounding the yard.
In the alley not far away, Chang Qing, who saw this scene, said angrily:
"I asked him how he was so sure. It turned out that he had brought in the iron-armed crossbows from the defense force? Why didn't he just bring in two more Vulcan cannons and blast them directly?"
Chen Zheng also looked at him with a playful look.
After a martial artist reaches the level of blood exchange, the threat of weapons such as muskets has been greatly reduced, and the lethality in a single round is not as good as that of a hard bow and a heavy crossbow.
As for the artillery, it was a weapon used to deal with large evil spirits, and it was impossible for Huang Shihu to mobilize it.
But with the opponent's arrangement like this, it's really hard for ordinary blood exchange experts to fly.
And while he was watching.
When all the personnel were in place, they saw Huang Shihu making a gesture, and then his figure flew up and led these men into the house.
Boom boom boom!
Immediately afterwards, there were violent explosions and roars in the house!
And a few blinks later, there were two short and shrill screams!
Um?
At this time, not only the sergeants who were ambushing outside the house, but also Chen Zheng and others who were watching the excitement from ten feet away, their eyes changed slightly, wondering what happened to Huang Shihu and others.
He immediately prepared to lead people there, and then he saw a majestic evil man who looked like a human-shaped monster, smashed through the thick masonry wall and rushed in!
Crackling!
Amidst the flying smoke and dust, the evil man's body brought up fierce winds and filled the sky with smoke and dust.
At the same time, Chen Zheng also saw with his inhuman eyesight that the man was holding a ferocious human head in his hand, which was clearly the former henchman of Huang Shihu!
It only took a blink of an eye for the evil man to break through the wall and rush in. In this direction, more than ten sergeants who had been waiting for him fired arrows in anger!
Whoosh!
The arrow tore through the air, and its power penetrated gold and cracked stone. However, in the sharp and piercing sound of the air, the evil man looked like a ghost, and the black robe on his body was made of unknown materials. In one roll, he shot the arrow in front of him.
All the arrows were shaken down, and they rushed towards these crossbowmen with a wild laugh!
The moment he moved, it was like a strong wind passing by, with extremely strong momentum.
On the trajectory of the fierce collision, the eyes of the crossbowmen changed drastically, and the hundred households who bore the brunt shouted loudly: "Thieves are subject to——"
Bang bang bang bang bang—!
A series of dull violent sounds were heard, and the evil man laughed maniacally and charged fiercely, knocking away the hundred households and the four or five crossbowmen behind them like two dead leaves!
When these people flew up in the air, they let out fierce roars of pain, and there was a crackling sound of their bones being broken.
And when they landed on the ground, most of them were motionless and no longer made any sound.
"Black! Bat! King!"
The roar of gnashing teeth resounded through the sky, but Huang Shihu's blood-stained figure was seen frantically chasing out from the broken wall, murderous intent rushing like a river!
Behind him, two or three figures could be vaguely seen lying on the ground, either screaming in agony or motionless, with pools of blood flowing underneath them. They were the confidants who had followed him in the arrest.
Black Bolt?
Who is this?
Never expecting such a sudden change, Chen Zheng naturally could not sit back and watch, and immediately led people to fly forward.
However, at the same time as he moved.
The villain known as Black Bolt King has no intention of fighting Huang Shihu here.
He was knocked away, killing several crossbowmen, and after breaking up the formation, his figure flew past the gap in the blockade at high speed, leaving only the arrogant and vicious words echoing:
"You are a good court eagle and a dog, and you come here to cause trouble for me? This is your fate!"
"Trash, if you have the ability, come after me! Hahahahaha!"
brute!
Having never suffered such a big loss, Huang Shi's eyes were about to burst, his energy and blood surged, and he pursued the opponent in the direction of his escape at the fastest speed in his life.
Both of them were extremely fast. By the time Chen Zheng arrived at the scene of the battle with heavy casualties, their figures had already disappeared around the corner of the street.
"Master Chen!"
Just as he was frowning and considering whether to chase after him, another of Huang Shihu's subordinates, covered in blood, staggered out of the tattered wall and said miserably:
"The Black Bat King is a well-known bandit in the borderlands. He is extremely cruel. Master Huang alone may not be able to do anything to him. Please help him and avenge his brothers!"
Where did this Black Bolt come from?
Although he didn't know the origin of the Black Bat King, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows and ordered to Chang Qing and others:
"You guys are here, I'll catch up and have a look."
call!
Before he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose, and his figure disappeared from the spot like a shooting star chasing the moon.
At the same time.
The violent wind whistled in my ears, the surrounding scenery passed by at high speed, and the sounds of exclamations from pedestrians on the street were endless.
Huang Shihu's eyes were blood red at this moment, and his murderous intention was blazing, tightly fixed behind the Black Bat King in front of him.
The Black Bat King Cao Zhiquan is a wanted criminal who escaped from a major city in the northwest such as Longyuan City. He is a demonic murderer. Not only does he practice demonic skills, but he also commits all kinds of crimes including rape, robbery, and dozens of lives on his hands.
He really didn't expect that he was obviously searching for a demon from the Tianmu God Sect, but he found this murderer by mistake!
However, Black Bolt King is at the peak of his second blood exchange. His magic skills are weird, and his cultivation strength is even close to that of a master who has been through three blood exchanges. The other party seemed to be aware of their movements in advance, and immediately suffered a huge loss if all the intelligence was wrong.
Unfortunately, several subordinates suffered heavy casualties.
so.
Under the shame and guilt, no matter what the opponent's cultivation level is now, the only thing Huang Shihu wants to do in anger is--
Kill each other!
Stimulated by the surging murderous intent, Huang Shihu's speed was increased to the extreme, but it was still not as fast as the Black Bolt King in front, and the distance became farther and farther.
At this moment, Black Bolt King was running unscrupulously, but he looked back and laughed wildly:
"Dog, Eagle, Dog, if I ask you to chase me, you can chase me. You are more obedient than my son! Hahahahahaha!"
The two of them were running at high speed in this poor neighborhood. Although it was not as prosperous as the inner city, there were still a lot of pedestrians.
The figures of the two people, accompanied by violent whistling sounds, stirred up strong winds on the street, almost making pedestrians on the street unable to open their eyes and terrified.
The leader of the Black Bolt King is like a rampant beast, not caring whether the thing blocking him is air or a living person. He seems not to see any of them, relying on his beast-like body to violently run over!
