Eternal Saber

Chapter 66: Loyalty and Courage


By the time everyone heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating, Steward Fang had already been shot out.

Meanwhile, Chen Tang had already nocked a second arrow on the string!

Whizz!

The second arrow followed closely, aimed at Steward Qi.

The two Eighth Grade Martial Artists of the Black Water Gang posed the greatest threat; they needed to be dealt with first.

Steward Qi's reaction was considered fast; while the others at the table were still in a daze, he had already stood up and was reaching for the long knife at his waist.

But the speed of the second arrow was faster and more forceful than he had imagined!

Thud!

Steward Qi had only drawn half of his knife when a sharp pain pierced his chest. His whole body flew up, pinned by the feathered arrow to the beam behind him, eyes wide and mouth frothing with blood; he was beyond saving.

At this distance, even a One-Stone Bow would be hard to dodge.

Let alone a Three-Stone Bow at full draw.

In less than a breath, two people were shot dead in quick succession.

Steward Fang's body had just fallen onto the snowy ground outside Qingyun Tower.

Only at this moment did everyone on the second floor react.

"My lord, be careful, there's a villain!"

"Squad Leader, watch out!"

"There's an assassin!"

Cong Qingyi flipped the table, sending cups and plates crashing to the ground, spilling their contents towards the opposite window to block the view.

Gou Ying and Hu Wan rolled onto the ground, crouching in the corner, not daring to stand.

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji also evaded, seeking cover, their expressions filled with shock and fear.

Those two arrows just now were terrifying!

The two Eighth Grade Martial Artists hadn't even had time to react, and they were shot dead on the spot!

And that shout of 'My lord, be careful' just now was made by Meng Liangyu.

He completely disregarded his own danger, rushing over with outstretched arms, shielding County Magistrate Sun with his body, scanning around and whispering, "Don't be afraid, my lord, I'm here!"

County Magistrate Sun was scared stiff.

He had no martial arts skills and had never experienced such a scene. Others either ran or hid, leaving him exposed in the middle of the hall.

Fortunately, Meng Liangyu arrived in time to shield him!

Even Chief Yan and Chief Cui had just run for their lives.

Unexpectedly, young Xiao Meng showed such bravery and fearless loyalty.

Compared to this, Yan Ji and Cui Zhao truly fell short.

The position of County Captain in Changze County had been vacant for a year.

At this moment, County Magistrate Sun already had someone in mind; he could recommend Xiao Meng more in the future.

After shooting the two Black Water Gang stewards, the rest had already taken cover, leaving Chen Tang without a clear target.

Of course, his goal had already been achieved.

Steward Fang's body was also discovered by the crowd eating and drinking on the first floor, causing an uproar.

"Brother Gou, I have already shot those two Eighth Grade guys!"

Chen Tang said in a hoarse voice, "Today, I will surely help you eliminate the Black Water Gang!"

After saying this, Chen Tang leaped away, disappearing into the darkness before anyone could converge.

"Gou Ying, you people from Qian Country really are cunning, playing dirty tricks on me!"

Cong Qingyi, furious, pulled out fireworks from his pocket and hurled them into the air, signaling.

"I am not, I haven't..."

Gou Ying hurried to explain, but his voice was drowned out by the noise, the clashing of weapons downstairs, and the crackling fireworks in the sky.

Hu Wan was both shocked and delighted, asking, "Gang Leader, where did you find such a helper, even I didn't know."

"I have no idea who that person is!"

Gou Ying was furious.

"The Evil Wolf Gang killed our two stewards. Slaughter all Evil Wolf Gang members!"

"Kill!"

Two groups of people also rushed in from outside the County Government, surrounding Qingyun Tower and instantly understanding after seeing the two Black Water Gang stewards' bodies.

The Black Water Gang members charged at the Evil Wolf Gang members without a second thought.

"Brothers, kill them for me!"

The Evil Wolf Gang had no retreat and could only fight desperately.

In an instant, blood splattered, limbs flew.

Qingyun Tower was engulfed in blood mist, turning chaotic, with shouts of killing shaking the sky.

"My lord, be careful, let's stay far away to avoid getting caught up."

Meng Liangyu supported the trembling County Magistrate Sun, led him downstairs, pushed away several figures, blocked a few blades coming from who knows where, and retreated to the back courtyard of the County Government.

At this time, Cui Zhao and Yan Ji were also leading a group of constables towards them.

Yan Ji said in a deep voice, "With us here, there's no need to panic, my lord!"

"Indeed."

Cui Zhao said, "Let the two gangs fight like dogs, we'll just sit back and watch. No matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare attack government officials."

County Magistrate Sun heard them coming over to claim credit, saying a lot of useless things, sneering inwardly.

What were you two doing just now?

Now that Xiao Meng has already escorted me to safety, you two finally come around.

In critical moments, at crucial times, one can truly see a person's character.

The three chiefs and a group of constables were escorting County Magistrate Sun when suddenly a tall figure emerged from the darkness ahead, wielding a long knife, blocking their path!

The newcomer wore a black cloth mask, with fierce eyes exposed, like a hungry tiger hunting in the night!

"Uh oh, bad news!"

County Magistrate Sun saw this person and felt his courage drain, exclaiming in shock.

Everyone present felt their hearts tighten, readying themselves.

Meng Liangyu said, "Chief Cui, Chief Yan, you two take some brothers to block him, I'll escort Lord Sun elsewhere."

Cui Zhao and Yan Ji both frowned.

Meng Liangyu, a junior, was now giving them orders, and even wanted them to block the way, taking the lead.

Cui Zhao said in a deep voice, "There's no need for trouble, let's strike together and kill this person."

Yan Ji nodded, "He's alone. Even if he's Eighth Grade, he can't withstand us all attacking."

Unfortunately, County Magistrate Sun couldn't hear what they said.

You two just said no one would dare harm government officials, and now someone blocking the way appears!

In County Magistrate Sun's mind, Cui Zhao and Yan Ji were cowardly and unreliable.

Now, he only trusted Xiao Meng.

Only Xiao Meng was sincerely on his side, considering his safety, thinking of getting him out of danger first.

Those two only cared for themselves!

County Magistrate Sun quickly said, "Xiao Meng is right, follow his orders! Cui Zhao, Yan Ji, you two block him, kill him on sight, Xiao Meng and I will leave first."

Meng Liangyu slightly raised his head and called out, "Tie Zhu, you guys come with me!"

He called over the governmental officials who had been following him, accompanying him to escort County Magistrate Sun to another side.

At this point, even though Cui Zhao and Yan Ji were somewhat unwilling, they couldn't openly defy orders.

Yan Ji squinted and said, "Friend, your Evil Wolf Gang and the Black Water Gang are fighting up front, why are you blocking us?"

Cui Zhao recognized the person was the one who had just been shooting arrows from the second floor of Qingyun Tower, and said solemnly, "Be careful, this one is not easy to deal with."

There were only dozens of official constables in the County Government.

In the chaos earlier, some were scattered and went missing.

Meng Liangyu also took away a portion.

In fact, there were only a dozen or so constables beside Cui Zhao and Yan Ji.

"You took so much silver from my Evil Wolf Gang, yet now you stand with the Black Water Gang, you deserve to die!"

The person's voice was hoarse, radiating with killing intent, stepping on the shattered jade floor, wielding a three-foot long knife, slashing into the crowd!
