Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 22: Yue Hongling VS Luo Qi

Views:

Regardless, Instructor Sun's appreciation for Zhao Changhe was genuine, and he taught him wholeheartedly, treating him as his favorite disciple. Zhao Changhe also had some complicated feelings, so he temporarily put aside the matter of the formation and concentrated on learning the Blood Evil Blade.

Anyway, I didn't dare to ask too many questions about the key points of the formation, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion.

The Blood Evil Knife is one of the supporting martial arts of the Blood Evil Kung Fu. It uses the Qi and blood of the Blood Evil Kung Fu to drive the knife, which is more powerful and has an extremely violent explosive force. There are very few fancy routines in the knife style, and it belongs to a large-scale knife method. When practiced to a deep level, the evil spirit brought by the chopping knife alone can make the grass and trees wither, and a slightly weaker opponent will die instantly. It is extremely powerful.

Among them, some of the special moves cannot be used at the current strength, or if used with great difficulty, one will overdraw and lose combat effectiveness.

A complete system with techniques, tricks and unique skills is gradually taking shape visibly.

Including the matching footwork, since there are requirements for positioning, it will naturally begin to be connected with the knowledge of formations.

Zhao Changhe studied very seriously.

No matter what idea you have... you have to have the strength to take it slow.

As far as personal preference is concerned, he also likes this kind of fierce accumulation and fierce attack knife method. The current regret is that the knife is too light. I don’t know where to find a heavier knife...

While resting, Zhao Changhe unconsciously reached into his pocket and gently grasped the Blood-Fixing Pill that he had never used.

Instructor Sun certainly could not have imagined how serious the rebellious psychology this incident would bring to people like Zhao Changhe.

… …

When I went back home in the evening, Luo Qi was not there.

Zhao Changhe frowned slightly.

The turning point of this winter solstice day is not only Zhao Changhe's breakthrough and the discovery of the secret door in the pool, but Luo Qi is also at an important node.

—We have been here for a month, but we have not robbed any merchants or towns or villages. Now there are so many people in the huge mountain village hunting animals, but how can there be so many animals in the cold winter? After hunting for more than a month, it is getting harder and harder to find them. In the past two days, more and more people have returned empty-handed.

How can this be called banditry? They are clearly trying to compete with the hunters outside the mountain for food, but they can't win because they are not professional.

If the hunters hadn't been afraid of the bandits and didn't dare go deeper, they probably wouldn't even have the income they had before.

The main reason for this is that Captain Fang and many other deacons are not paying attention to this, and Instructor Sun's duty is just to teach the Dharma, so no one cares much about this aspect. However, the poor performance of this village for a month has made Captain Fang feel embarrassed, and he issued a death order a few days ago, insisting that the village must start work.

Luo Qi had already started scouting the area early, just as Zhao Changhe had planned, to investigate whether there were any rich and unkind masters in the villages and towns outside the mountain, to enforce justice for once.

He actually found an extremely vicious country gentleman, who had been talking about preparing for action a few days ago. So it seems that today is the day for Luo Qi to take action.

Zhao Changhe felt a little warm in his heart. Luo Qi had said that he was naive before, but his actual actions were in line with this. Whether it was this intention or he was taking care of Zhao Changhe's feelings, it made Zhao Changhe feel warm in his heart.

After living together for such a long time, as well as last night's bathing and the hard-working guardian, Zhao Changhe knew that no matter how he verbally viewed her as a man, in his heart she really treated him as a family member.

Or maybe to be more blunt, it's the wife.

"Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao, something bad has happened!" A gangster who was on good terms with him came running over in a hurry: "Just now, a team of brothers who were guarding the road went to report to the Deacon Hall that they saw someone passing by..."

Zhao Changhe was confused for a moment: "What did someone say to me when they passed by? Don't be so excited if you want to rob someone..."

"What are you so excited about, boss!" The gangster stamped his feet and said, "The person passing by is Yue Hongling! She is a tough bastard that even the leader can't beat. Who the hell dares to mess with her? Report it to Instructor Sun, and he will back off!"

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what this meant, he heard the bandit continue, "Yue Hongling went in the direction of Zhangzhuang, and it seems that she intends to stay there for the night. Didn't the brother Luo who lives with you go to rob Zhangzhuang today? So I came to you to report the news, what do you want to tell me!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Changhe had already rushed out of the mountain village like a whirlwind and rushed out of the mountain road.

… …

Luo Qi's actions today were going very smoothly.

How could there be any masters in the remote town outside the mountain and the landowner's farm outside the city? Luo Qi, who was at the first level of Xuanguan, broke in with a dozen vicious bandits, which was really devastating.

In just a moment, all those who could resist in the village were knocked down by Luo Qi's acupoints. He waved his slender hand and said, "Go and search for things, but don't touch the women. If anyone moves, I will chop off their paws!"

The gangsters all looked like they had eaten shit. They came here to do this job, but they couldn't play with women? Then are we still bandits? Do you think you are really a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor!

But no one dared to resist Luo Qi. Only the bandits who followed Luo Qi knew that this skinny and weak Luotou was actually more ruthless than the unrivaled Boss Zhao in the village. A few days ago, a fool drank too much yellow urine and saw Luotou's handsome face and said rudely that if it weren't for the arrangement of Luo Qi as the leader, the rabbit god who was usually like this would only be worthy of serving everyone for fun. He said that it was fine, but he still tried to stretch out his claws.

Then, Luo Qi pressed his acupuncture points on this person and dragged him to the edge of the cliff. He then let go of him inch by inch without any expression on his face, and watched him fall into a pulp. The indifference in his eyes at that time was really chilling.

It is true that birds of a feather flock together. Only such a ruthless guy lives in the same house with Boss Zhao, and the two of them are very close.

Luo Qi reported back to the village, saying only that the man accidentally fell off the cliff. The village did not investigate the case seriously, so it turned out that the man really did accidentally fall off the cliff.

In troubled times, human lives are as precious as grass, and the same goes for the village itself.

Who dares to resist such a leader? Just go and search for the things and be done with it.

Zhao Changhe didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he would probably think that others were exaggerating. In his mind, Luo Qi was really not a ruthless person...

Luo Qi looked coldly at the paralyzed country gentleman's family in front of her. It was the first time for her to do such a thing and she didn't know whether she should kill them or not.

In theory, bandits don't necessarily kill people when they rob. If they don't encounter fierce resistance, it's not necessary. It's not that the bandits are kind-hearted, but they want to raise pigs.

These residents living outside the mountains find it difficult to migrate with their entire families. After robbing once, they will still live here, that is, they will hide their wealth more tightly, and then report to the authorities to suppress the bandits. This way, they will still have something to search for next time... There are also some tacit agreements, when you come, he will pay protection fees without hesitation, and use this to establish a relationship, and then attract the bandits as their own foreign aid, so that they can run rampant in the village.

The bandits also had a tacit understanding and would not easily plunder the area at the foot of the mountain. They might even help out if something happened.

Therefore, it is difficult to suppress many bandits because they actually have spies everywhere.

But Luo Qi felt something was a bit strange... Because she had investigated the evil deeds of this local tyrant and came here to enforce justice, not to play the tacit understanding between bandits and gentry, so should she kill him? Is there a hero's guide? Can I borrow a copy to read

As I was hesitating, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Luo Qi frowned, went out to take a look, and saw a woman in red clothes riding a horse towards him in the sunset.

“Damn, I really ran into a hero!” Luo Qi turned and ran: “It’s Yue Hongling! Retreat quickly!”

But how could it be too late

In the blink of an eye, Yue Hongling blocked his way.

Her beautiful eyes swept across Luo Qi and fell on the chaotic village. At this moment, a group of bandits rushed out of the village and tried to escape.

"Blood God Cult bandits..." Yue Hongling sighed, "I had something important to do a few days ago. I knew there was a stronghold near Mangshan, and I should have come to get rid of it earlier..."

For some reason, although he was obviously very afraid of Yue Hongling, seeing her chivalrous appearance, Luo Qi got angry and sneered: "Why are you pretending to be a hero? You walk around the world every day, how do you make a living? Where do you get your daily expenses? Aren't you just robbing the rich and giving to the poor like us?"

Yue Hongling was stunned for a moment, then said with a bit of amusement: "I did rob, but the things I robbed were yours."

Luo Qi: “…Fuck.”

Yue Hongling is different from the imaginary hero who always preaches with a stern face... He really looks a bit like Zhao Changhe. I don't know how much of Zhao Changhe's temperament is innate, and how much is intentional to get close to Yue Hongling

Yue Hongling got off his horse with a smile, and pointed his sword: "There are not many gangsters who will argue with me, and you are one of them. I wonder how your sword compares to your words."

Luo Qi drew her sword in anger and took a defensive stance. In fact, she could still argue about this matter, but for some reason she didn't want to argue with Yue Hongling at all and just disliked Yue Hongling.

At this moment, it was as if a strong wind swept past, and people could feel the fierceness of the blood evil attack from a distance.

Yue Hongling was slightly moved. She turned around and saw a big man coming towards her on the snow like a galloping horse.

Luo Qi was surprised, but suddenly felt a little amused.

You came at the right time.
