Chapter 1169 Urging them to be released from their bonds and return home safely
This group of men in black were usually arrogant and domineering. They were used to beating and scolding people at will, and they had heard a lot of people crying and begging. It was rare to see someone who dared to openly confront them.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The leader of the men in black quickly interrupted Xiao Jingyu.
"How could you possibly know about the affairs of the government!"
Since you have trespassed on Qilin Mountain today and refused to reveal your identities, you seem quite suspicious. Perhaps... we will have to arrest you and take you to the government office for questioning!
"Hurry up, all of you get out of the car and get tied up!"
The leader of the men in black pointed his sheathed sword at Xiao Jingyu and his companions, while simultaneously reaching for the horse's bridle.
Just as his hand was about to touch the bridle, Xiao Jingyu's whip tip arrived first...
A sharp "snap" was heard, followed by a scream and a bloody gash.
A scream of agony... came from the leader of the men in black.
A bloodstain appeared on the back of the leader's hand.
The leader of the men in black suddenly withdrew his left hand, and hurriedly covered his injured left hand with his right hand, which was holding the knife, letting the knife slip from his hand and fall to the ground.
The leader of the men in black suddenly looked up in horror at Xiao Jingyu, who was holding a whip and had no expression on his face.
"You...you...you have such audacity!"
"How dare you lay a hand on government officials! You... are you trying to rebel?"
"rebel?"
Xiao Jingyu sneered slightly, "It's not me who wants to rebel, but your master!"
As for you, you're nothing more than watchdogs guarding the gates of your rebellious master's lair!
"You...you...who exactly are you people?"
The leader of the men in black took two steps back, still covering his injured hand with his right hand, enduring the pain until his already ugly features became even more distorted and grotesque!
Looking at Xiao Jingyu, and then at Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingye who remained seated behind him, the leader of the men in black forced a stern but inwardly weak expression and asked.
"We are the people who beat dogs!"
We are the ones who deal with the rebels!
Is this answer clear enough?
Xiao Jingyu remained seated comfortably against the carriage, his tone calm, as if he were not the one who had just whipped someone and injured them.
Xiao Jingyu spoke in a low voice and in a calm tone, but it was this fearless composure that made the six men in black blocking the carriage with their swords unconsciously take two steps back.
They were not afraid of the three poor people they had just arrested and the weak women who were crying and wailing, even though they outnumbered their own side.
But they were afraid of these three people who faced the six of them without any fear or composure.
They're not stupid!
Although they still do not know the identities of the three people in the carriage.
But at least they could tell that these three people weren't afraid of them at all.
Opposite them were three people empty-handed, one of whom was a pretty young girl who looked like she hadn't yet reached marriageable age.
The three of them weren't afraid of the six men who were waving government flags and carrying knives... Well... they weren't all empty-handed; the handsome man driving the carriage had a riding whip in his hand!
He just casually swung that horsewhip he used to drive the carriage... and whipped himself!
What kind of person would not be afraid of the government officials they speak of and the knives in their hands?
That must be someone stronger than them!
They must be someone more capable than them!
It's also possible that the person's status and position are far higher than that of the Prefect of Dongchang Prefecture!
Only people like this will not be afraid of them, will despise them, and will regard them as dogs guarding the gate for their masters!
"Who...who exactly are you people?"
The leader of the men in black looked at Xiao Jingyu and the others and asked them a question again, but his tone was noticeably weaker than before!
Xiao Jingyu didn't bother to answer the man in black's question at all. He just gave him a cold look and then turned away.
At this moment, Leng Rongyue, like Xiao Jingyu, looked at the dozen or so poor villagers not far away, their faces full of fear, trembling and huddled together.
"Hey ladies, stop standing there! Quickly untie your three family members!"
Now that you're untied, hurry home!
Don't worry, no one will arrest you anymore, and no one will cause you any more trouble!
I promise!"
The dozen or so people over there listened to Leng Rongyue's light and melodious words... Ah! So beautiful! But why... why can't they understand a little?
Those three handsome young men, along with their carriage, were blocked by six men in black, who looked like wolves and tigers, and were carrying knives!
That indescribably beautiful little girl told them to quickly untie their families and go home!
Untied... Go home...
They understand what they mean, but can they really do it?
Looking at the six men in black... oh no, now only five men in black are holding knives. The leader of the men in black, who was originally holding a knife, has now dropped it on the ground. He is just tightly clenching his other hand... that hand... was just injured by the handsome young man driving the carriage!
That was so satisfying!
But...but they...
Seeing that the people were still in a daze, Leng Rongyue urged them again with great helplessness.
A middle-aged woman, who was a little braver, walked up behind a man with trembling hands and slowly untied the ropes binding him.
Seeing that she moved, two more women of similar age came over and went to untie the other two men.
"You are not allowed to move!"
Several men in black wielding knives rushed towards the group, attempting to stop them from untying the women. Several sharp cracking sounds rang out, followed by screams of agony: "Ah! Ah! Ah!..."
"Clang"... That was the sound of a steel knife hitting the ground.
Xiao Jingyu's whip seemed to have eyes; three lashes struck the hands of the three black-clad men with knives at the forefront, and then three more lashes struck their calves.
In an instant, all three men suffered cuts to the back of their hands, their steel knives fell to the ground, they knelt on their knees, and finally collapsed onto the ground in a sorry state.
Upon seeing this, the other three men in black immediately stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to take another step forward.
