Chapter 56 Drawing the Sword Requires Steadiness
The moment the sound rang out.
Two peasants standing nearby, their faces contorted with rage, pounced on the maid and shoved her to the ground.
Then he pressed his mud-covered palm firmly against her mouth, as if he wanted to shove her into the mud!
The girl was already frightened, and when she smelled the stench, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She struggled desperately with her legs.
"..."
Chang Yi was originally standing by the side, escorting everyone forward.
The scream, like a thunderclap, pierced his mind, leaving his dark face with a look of bewilderment.
He stared at the maid on the ground not far away.
Suddenly, I don't know whether to blame the other person or myself for not being considerate enough.
If we could have anticipated this beforehand, we could have told everyone there was a body at the door, or prepared strips of cloth to cover their mouths, or...
Chang Yi pressed hard on his brow, his taut heartstrings on the verge of snapping. He had rehearsed the situation in his mind countless times, but problems still arose.
"Hurry up!"
He took a deep breath, suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, letting out a roar.
Just as the maid screamed, hurried footsteps echoed across the entire hill.
Regardless of whose fault it is, now all that's left to deal with this situation is yourself!
The surrounding people quickly scattered, and even the two peasants who had been holding down the maidservant hurriedly stopped and used all their strength to escape to the side.
But their escape was soon halted.
Foxes are not good at fighting, but that's compared to fierce wolves. Even if there are foxes that have never learned any martial arts, they will still have at least two guards by their side.
At this moment, more than thirty figures leaped down from the earthen mound, almost gathering the elite of the Cunning Fox Hall.
With just four or five guards, they could easily block these dozens of civilians from entering.
"Hey, isn't this Master Chang?"
The foxes approached slowly, their lanterns floating like will-o'-the-wisps.
Even more terrifying was that four figures slowly emerged from behind them. They were all familiar faces, clearly the fierce wolves qualified to rule an entire street!
"I already said to resolve this quickly, but you insisted on dragging it out until the peak of the month, almost causing a problem." Yin Ling raised an eyebrow impatiently, glancing at the maidservant at her feet who was now silent as a cicada in fear.
The girl finally realized the terrifying situation her scream had led to.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she trembled as she tried to beg for mercy.
Before he could finish speaking, his head was crushed by a slamming boot, and blood and gore splattered onto the corpse beside him.
"Why make murder such a complicated affair?" Yin Ling rubbed the soles of her boots on the muddy ground.
"Master Yin, what you've done..."
The foxes rolled their eyes helplessly and could only explain, "Senior Xia needs a hundred hearts to refine his medicine. He must cut open his chest when the moon is at its fullest and pour the blood of his closest relatives into his body. It takes two people to extract one heart."
Fortunately, they had prepared extra supplies in advance.
Otherwise, if that kick from the man surnamed Yin had landed, it would have been a waste of two lives.
The fox and the wolf chatted leisurely, completely ignoring the young constable in the distance.
Even though Chang Yi's eyes turned bloodshot the moment the maid died, he was only alone with a knife. Surrounded by layers of enemies, his anger seemed somewhat ridiculous.
"Should we take care of him?" A fox finally turned its gaze over.
Only a greedy wolf would dare to kill a constable in the western part of the city, but this place is a desolate wilderness, and the situation is different.
Yin Ling was about to nod.
The ferocious wolf next to him suddenly bumped him with its shoulder.
"I've heard Bai Feng mention this kid before..."
The man didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he turned his gaze directly to the dark-skinned man in the distance, frowned, and snapped, "Get lost!"
They weren't afraid of things being exposed. To put it bluntly, the reason the government office was still a government office was thanks to that woman who inexplicably became the county magistrate.
It was only with her involvement that this balance was barely achieved.
Otherwise, the Blackwater Gang would have already taken the county magistrate's head.
Clang!
Chang Yi suddenly pulled out half of the blade, his breathing heavy, but he didn't take a single step forward.
With his cultivation level, if he were to charge in, the people behind him would immediately become lambs to the slaughter.
He racked his brains, pondering the advice in his mind.
Be flexible, be flexible... Tonight we're here to save people, not to spite them.
Chang Yi looked around. Leaving like this was impossible, but how could he fight to rescue more people?
If Brother Lin were here, what would the other party do?
The young constable was in a state of utter confusion, completely unable to think of a way to break the deadlock, and even the hand holding the knife began to tremble slightly.
"Hey, you're really pushing it." A fox couldn't help but sneer when it saw Blackie draw his knife.
Just as he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, his voice suddenly trembled.
His gaze was fixed on the distance.
A clean and simple black shirt fluttered slightly in the mountain breeze, and as the person approached, a fair and handsome face gradually emerged from the thick night.
The fox instinctively touched its face, its eyes filled with resentment.
He had just been slapped in Sifang Street during the day, and now seeing this greedy wolf again, he was naturally a little scared.
"Master Lin, what brings you here?" Yin Ling looked surprised. If she remembered correctly, Senior Xia had exempted her from birthday gifts, so why did she come to the southern suburbs to brave the cold wind?
"..."
Chang Yi instinctively turned around, but no surprise appeared on his face.
He believed that Brother Lin had enough power to save him, but he did not want to merely survive.
If one were to save someone, it would be the name of the Greedy Wolf, but how could that possibly suppress the Tiger?
Just then, Chang Yi's expression changed slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.
He watched as Lin Shu calmly approached, then reached out and placed her long, slender fingers on the hilt of his sword.
Similar actions have occurred twice before.
The first time was in Qingliu Lane, where the other party pushed the knife back, allowing him to understand his own heart and realize what he truly wanted.
Then, in the Zhao family courtyard, Brother Lin also put the knife back, teaching himself the importance of being flexible in his actions.
This is the third time, so why is it happening again?
Chang Yi held his breath, and his eyelids suddenly twitched.
This time, the hand did not push the long sword back down.
snap snap—
Amidst a slightly harsh scraping sound, the bright silver light, bathed in moonlight, was drawn inch by inch, illuminating everyone's eyes.
Lin Shu drew the long sword and strolled leisurely forward.
His already fair face appeared even more sickly under the moonlight, and a cryptic smile gradually crept onto his lips.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"
The fox frowned, watching the figure approaching it, and a chill suddenly ran through its heart.
He instinctively wanted to step back, but his eyes were suddenly filled with the glint of a blade.
puff!
Lin Shu casually swung his knife, not even glancing at his opponent, and a head fell to the ground with a thud.
Before the blood had fully splattered, he had already stepped over the corpse.
"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their bodies; killing a worthless life earns a measly reward of two coins."
"Hey Lin, are you fucking crazy?!" the foxes exclaimed, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Even though they saw Lin Shu draw his sword, they never imagined that he was going to attack them.
Does a mere wolf dare to wipe out the entire Cunning Fox Hall?
Moreover, there is more than one ferocious wolf in this area!
"Lin Shu!" Three of the four ferocious wolves suddenly stepped forward, their expressions turning ferocious.
Regardless of the reason or the other party's background, based on that one strike, this person must give an explanation today.
Yin Ling hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward as well, coldly saying, "You've broken the rules."
Because of what happened with Tian Jingyuan, he was indeed somewhat afraid of Lin Shu, but at this moment and in this place, he had the upper hand in terms of both reason and numbers.
"..."
Chang Yi's pupils turned red from the blood plasma.
I felt my face go numb.
When he first visited Brother Lin, he wanted to learn how to be a constable, but Brother Lin politely declined in a joking manner.
Now, however, they have already learned two lessons.
So what is this third lesson?
Whether it was my imagination or not, a chill suddenly spread through the earthen slope, penetrating deep into my spine.
The gradually spreading wails added a chilling atmosphere to the place, making it feel like a mass grave!
