From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint
Chapter 24 Capturing Zhang Xiaotian
Soldiers are very fast!
After the three had made their plans, they mobilized their men that afternoon and headed straight for a courtyard in Yong'an Lane.
This is one of Zhang Xiaotian's mistresses, and he is enjoying himself here this afternoon.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch his king. Once we capture Zhang Xiaotian, the Wolf Poison Gang will fall apart. With the combined efforts of the government and the Flying Eagle Gang, they will surely surrender without a fight.
"...Who goes there!"
Outside the courtyard, a dozen or so thugs from the Wolf Poison Gang stood guard.
Suddenly, he saw a group of menacing-looking people rushing towards them, and he couldn't help but shout a rebuke.
Click!
But the next moment, before they could react, the group rushed up and started hacking at them indiscriminately, killing them on the spot.
"Surround them!"
After eliminating the guards, the main force surged into the alley.
With a loud shout, the leader of the martial arts troupe dispersed and surrounded the entire courtyard.
At this point, Zhang Xiaotian was already trapped.
"snort."
Wu Dutou snorted coldly, kicked open the courtyard gate, and led his men into the courtyard.
The courtyard was small and empty, with the doors and windows of the houses tightly closed, suggesting that the people inside were still there.
Wu Dutou's face was gloomy, and he beckoned to his subordinates.
The two henchmen understood and quietly stepped forward, kicking open the door.
Immediately afterwards, a group of constables rushed in.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
There was no one in the outer room, and only a disheveled woman on the bed in the inner room. When she saw a group of people rushing in with steel knives, she turned pale with fright, huddled in the corner, and screamed loudly.
Where are they?
Wu Dutou was taken aback; where was Zhang Xiaotian?
"Stop him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Just then, a commotion broke out outside.
Wu Dutou's expression changed, and he rushed out immediately.
At the courtyard gate, Zhang Xiaotian, who hadn't even had time to put on his clothes, was blocked back by a group of constables wielding knives and spears. Seeing that he couldn't break through the gate, Zhang Xiaotian tried to escape by climbing over the wall.
Looking at the open kitchen door next door, Wu Dutou suddenly realized what a cunning thief was. He had been hiding in the kitchen, waiting for Wu to lead his men into the house before taking the opportunity to escape.
"Where are you going!"
Unfortunately, he had already ordered his men to surround the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaotian had no chance of escape today.
With a roar, Wu Dutou charged forward.
"Captain Wu! What does this mean?!"
Zhang Xiaotian looked flustered and shouted loudly.
"But there's some misunderstanding! I need to see the prefect!"
"It was the prefect who ordered me to arrest you!"
Wu Dutou didn't waste any words with him and threw a punch directly at him.
Zhang Xiaotian frowned, his expression instantly turning fierce, and he raised his fist to meet the attack.
Their fists collided with a heavy thud, and the two began to fight in the courtyard.
As the leader of the Wolf Poison Gang, Zhang Xiaotian was not only skilled in poison making, but also proficient in martial arts, having already reached the level of an eighth-grade martial artist.
Every move is imbued with blood and energy, capable of injuring people invisibly!
Even with elite troops, twenty or thirty men wouldn't be able to take him down.
Unfortunately, Wu Dutou, as the head of the prefectural government, was no ordinary person; he was also a martial artist of the eighth rank.
The two were of similar cultivation levels and their martial arts skills were also evenly matched, so for a time they fought to a standstill.
"Don't push me!"
However, Zhang Xiaotian's life is in danger right now, so he is clearly risking his life.
In comparison, being a military officer was just a job.
The difference in resolve led to Wu Dutou losing ground after exchanging more than twenty blows.
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Xiaotian roared and punched Wu Dutou back temporarily.
Instead of pressing his advantage, he leaped onto the wall beside him, intending to escape.
With so many constables surrounding him, even if he defeated Wu Dutou, his life would be in danger, so he still had to break through.
Seeing Zhang Xiaotian about to jump over the wall, Wu Dutou stood still without chasing after him, instead a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Where are you going!"
With a loud shout, a claw suddenly stretched out from outside the wall and grabbed directly at Zhang Xiaotian's throat.
This claw strike is extremely fierce; if someone were caught, their throat would likely be crushed.
Zhang Xiaotian's expression changed drastically. Unable to defend himself while clinging to the wall, he could only retreat abruptly.
*Sizzle!*
With a soft sound, a bloody mark appeared on Zhang Xiaotian's neck, but he was not locked up, and he fell directly off the wall.
Ignoring his injuries, he quickly scrambled to his feet, his eyes darting frantically towards the wall.
Du Yueming was already standing there, looking at him with a cold smile.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing Du Yueming, Zhang Xiaotian instantly realized what was happening, and his face immediately filled with resentment.
That bastard actually bribed the government to deal with him!
"Zhang Xiaotian, today is your death day!"
With a cold shout, Du Yueming leaped down from the wall, swooping down on Zhang Xiaotian like a hawk.
The Wolf Poison Gang and the Flying Eagle Gang were vying for territory. Zhang Xiaotian and Du Yueming had already fought many times and knew the power of his high-altitude pounce. They dared not take it head-on and hurriedly retreated to avoid it.
But just as he dodged the attack, a gust of wind came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that Wu Dutou's fist was already coming.
Zhang Xiaotian could only raise his fist to parry, barely managing to hold off Wu Dutou. Du Mingyue landed, her hands forming claws, and immediately attacked.
Facing two opponents alone, Zhang Xiaotian secretly lamented his impending doom, fearing he was now doomed.
Both being eighth-rank martial artists, Du Mingyue's Eagle Claw Kung Fu was actually superior to Zhang Xiaotian's Azure Wolf Fist. Normally, if he used poison, he might be able to gain some advantage, but he had just climbed off a woman's bed, so there was no poison powder or anything like that on him.
What's more, there's also a fierce military commander.
After barely managing to hold out for twenty moves, Zhang Xiaotian was already struggling to defend himself.
Bang~!
With a muffled thud, he was punched again, this time knocked to the ground by Wu Dutou.
Just as Zhang Xiaotian was about to get up, Du Mingyue seized the opportunity to pounce on him, grabbing his shoulder blade with her claws. Du Mingyue's eagle claws were incredibly strong, instantly piercing several bloody holes and almost crushing the bones.
"Ah~!"
Zhang Xiaotian let out a miserable scream and tried to struggle, but his shoulder blades were restrained, and he could no longer move.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Dutou came over and completely pinned down and captured Zhang Xiaotian.
"Trying to kill a snake but failing will only result in more harm; we might as well kill it now!"
Du Mingyue's face darkened, and she suddenly raised her other hand, about to grab Zhang Xiaotian's head.
"No!"
Wu Dutou gave a soft shout and quickly reached out to stop him, his eyes turning cold.
"Chief Du, please calm down. Now that we've captured him alive, it would be difficult to explain if we were to kill him now."
"Ha, I was also thinking of eliminating future troubles."
Du Mingyue smiled and then withdrew her hand.
Wu Dutou chuckled lightly, then turned towards the courtyard gate and shouted.
"My lord! We've got it!"
grown ups?
Zhang Xiaotian was taken aback. Could it be Zhao Qiancheng? Hope flickered in his eyes.
He gives Zhao Qiancheng a considerable amount of money every year, so they have some kind of relationship. It's unclear why he's being targeted this time, but if he pays some money, Zhao Qiancheng might let him off the hook.
"My lord! My lord, please spare me..."
Zhang Xiaotian was filled with excitement and immediately shouted towards the gate of the courtyard.
But the next moment, when he saw who walked in, Zhang Xiaotian was instantly stunned.
Besides Zhao Qiancheng, there was another person.
"...How come it's you!"
Upon recognizing Chen Shi, Zhang Xiaotian's face instantly turned ashen.
