The two quickly stood up and cooperated with Lan Yanjie to deal with the puppet who had lost an arm.
This thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely fast. It is very difficult to get around it and deal with the skinny Taoist priest behind it.
If you are not careful and are attacked by the opponent, your life will be in danger.
With the addition of Tang Zhijun and Chu Ge, the three of them gradually gained an advantage against the puppet who lost an arm.
Although he was once a fourth-level strongman, after being turned into a puppet, he has lost the most powerful means of a fourth-level strongman: martial will, and is far from the power he had before his life.
The puppet's right fist attacked Lan Yanjie with fierce energy.
Lan Yanjie blocked it with his sword and flew backwards.
Tang Zhijun, who was fighting from the other side, seized the opportunity and stabbed the puppet's chest with his long sword, piercing it through.
But after being refined, the heart of the puppet is obviously no longer the opponent's vital point. Although it is injured, it is still brave.
The thin Taoist priest who was fighting with Zong Hongqing looked at Chu Ge who was wandering around the puppet with cold eyes. If it weren't for this guy, he would have succeeded long ago. How could he be so passive?
Now that the advantage is gone, it's time to retreat.
After this operation is successful, we will find an opportunity to deal with these guys from the Procuratorate.
The thin Taoist priest kneaded the magic formula with his hands and offered up the snake staff.
The strange snake letter at the front of the snake staff suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a disturbing and sharp hissing sound.
Zong Hongqing, Lan Yanjie, and Tang Zhijun were all in a trance, and quickly retreated to distance themselves from the enemy.
Only Chu Ge, due to the existence of the main body, will not be affected by this kind of mental interference as long as the main body is not affected at the same time.
The thin Taoist priest called back the puppet with his severed arm, a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
However, the effect of my move is short-lived, so now I can only retreat first.
Seeing that the thin Taoist priest wanted to run away, Tang Zhijun, regardless of his splitting headache, suddenly kicked off the ground and charged towards the opponent with his sword.
"careful!"
Chu Ge, who was not disturbed by his mental disturbance, waved the long knife in his hand, poured all his internal energy into it, and missed the puppet's right fist.
His tiger's mouth cracked open, blood flowed out, and the long knife almost flew out of his hand.
Chu Ge glared at Tang Zhijun and said, "Are you crazy? Why is a woman working so hard?"
Tang Zhijun was stunned for a moment by Chu Ge's scolding, and looked at him with wavering eyes. For the first time, she had a bit of a woman's squeamishness: "Yeah."
But after being blocked by the puppet, the thin Taoist priest had already gone away, and Chu Ge did not dare to catch up and deliver the food.
After recovering, several people found an open space and sat down.
After all, they had just joined forces to fight against the enemy, so Chu Ge and the others no longer restricted Tang Zhijun at this moment.
Chu Ge said: "Now can you tell us eagle dogs what's going on? If you want to seek revenge from these guys, you can't do it alone."
"It just so happens that these guys are also the ones our Procuratorate wants to get rid of, so it would be beneficial for everyone to cooperate."
Tang Zhijun glanced at Chu Ge, and then said:
"My name is Tang Zhijun, and I am a bounty hunter."
Bounty hunter?
Chu Ge and the others had surprised looks in their eyes. They really didn't expect that the heroic beauty in front of them was actually a bounty hunter.
Usually every state and county will post on city gates or notice boards many wanted lists of prisoners with serious crimes.
A bounty hunter is a profession that collects tasks by uncovering the government's hanging list and obtains a bounty upon completion.
It is a high-risk occupation with an extremely high mortality rate.
Such a beauty is engaged in this profession...if she fails for a moment...
Bao Jian is a natural creature!
Chu Ge asked: "It seems that you are following these guys because you uncovered the official records, right?"
Tang Zhijun nodded slightly, with a look of hatred on his beautiful face, and said:
"Last month I took on a mission and passed through Yunshi County, so I planned to go to the Flintstone Villa nearby. The owner of the Flintstone Villa once saved my life, and I also spent some time recuperating in the villa, so I went with him.
Everyone in the villa is familiar."
"But when I rushed there this time, the whole village... more than a hundred lives were all dead. Even the infant babies were not spared, and the methods were extremely cruel."
Tang Zhijun clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were slightly red.
"After I buried the people in the village, I followed the clues all the way. After all, this is our bounty hunter's specialty. It was not until today that I tracked down to Yanhua County, and then I met you."
Zong Hongqing said: "Then why did you run when you saw us?"
Tang Zhijun snorted coldly and said:
"You people in the government, how many good things have you done to feed the common people, associate with traitors, and even shelter bandits and make profits? How are you different from the wanted criminals on the list?"
"No, it's even more hateful!"
You are so angry.
Chu Ge thought to himself.
Lan Yanjie was so excited that he wanted to retort: "Zhenzhenzhen..."
Tang Zhijun:???
Zong Hongqing said on behalf of his good brother: "The King of Zhenbei has purged the government and the public, and strictly investigated corrupt officials. Not all people in the court are evil people."
Tang Zhijun curled his lips and said nothing.
This country has been suffering from long-standing abuses. Although a lot of improvements have been made here in Kyoto, it is still very difficult for other prefectures, counties and cities to eliminate evil spirits.
After all, there are no flights or high-speed trains here, and information circulation lags behind. If you want to go to some remote counties, the journey alone will take a long time.
Remediation is easier said than done.
Chu Ge didn’t worry about this matter and asked:
"You have been following them for so long, but what have you found?"
Tang Zhijun frowned and thought for a moment and said:
"There are at least a dozen of them, and each of them is very powerful. They have a very strong direction along the way. They did not just wander here randomly."
Chu Ge's heart moved.
The goal of these guys is Kyoto?
But what are they doing in Kyoto?
This is the base camp of the Da Li Dynasty. There are Confucian and Taoist families sitting nearby. They come here to cause trouble. It is not easy to leave.
Chu Ge touched his chin and asked again:
"Did they commit any more massacres along the way?"
Tang Zhijun punched the stone beside him. The stone fell into pieces and the innocent bodies were dismembered.
"These guys kill people every day. They seem to be using them for training, but there are no mass killings like at Flintstone Villa."
So, did the other party have a special purpose in massacring Flintstone Villa?
Chu Gelian asked: "What does this Flintstone Villa do?"
Tang Zhijun replied: "Flint Villa is in the flint business. The nearby rocks and river bottoms are rich in flint, and the Villa relies on mining these flints for its livelihood."
Chu Ge knew about flint, and the flint they usually used to light fires was a type of flint.
This kind of flint is nodular, relatively hard and easy to carry, and is also called flint.
The flint contains phosphorus, and during friction, the phosphorus is exposed, creating a flame.
There is also a kind of flint, which is layered and mostly in the water. It will be ignited as soon as it comes out of the water. This is the "will-o'-the-wisp" you sometimes see.
Did these guys massacre Flint Mountain Villa for these flints?
Chu Ge recalled the pungent sour smell he had smelled at the burnt corpse and the scene. It was the smell of burning white phosphorus.
Why do these guys come to Kyoto with these things?
