Chapter 78 Human Hearts Are Unpredictable, Following the Clues
Shen Xinlan turned her head to look amidst her busy schedule.
Then they saw Li Xin leap up and land behind the armored man Rhodes, without anyone noticing.
His body was suspended in mid-air, his back bent backward like a bow.
The spear was swung down, its shaft arcing through the air.
boom……
He knocked it down with a single blow.
Then came three or four blows, then five or six.
They launched a fierce attack on the steel head.
Swords break when blocked, shields crack when blocked...
The helmet visibly deformed and sank under the relentless onslaught of the storm.
I don't know exactly how many blows I received.
The crazed figure remained suspended in mid-air.
The enormous figure, nearly two meters tall, had no head visible on its neck.
Only the helmet was smashed into a solid sheet of metal, clinging tightly to his shoulder.
Just like the headless horseman in mythology.
Of course, the headless knight's legs were already knee-deep in the ground.
He became much shorter.
"If I can't break your armor, then I won't bother."
Li Xin let out a long breath, his eyes blazing with fierce fire.
With a twist of his waist, he flipped backwards, his spear dancing in a circle...
Regardless of whether the opponent blocked, parried, slashed, or cut, he blindly lashed out at the second knight.
This one is even worse...
He only took three blows before his neck twisted slightly to one side, and with a crack, his whole body froze.
Li Xin struck him with a stick, sending him sprawling to the ground. Crimson blood trickled from under his helmet.
However, Li Xin delivered a brutal blow, shattering his bones and scattering his brains.
He died on the spot, beyond any hope of survival.
"Your staff technique is quite impressive."
Shen Xinlan was so shocked that she didn't know what kind of expression to make.
Looking at the deformed and torn armor of the two Templar Knights, one standing and one lying down, I simply didn't know what to say.
Li Xin glanced at this "unparalleled gentleman" with a hint of regret.
He thought to himself that he had probably really drained this girl dry. Not a single drop, no, not even a shred of her confidence?
There's no pink either.
If you don't want to give it, then don't.
There are still over 800 civilians over there.
He went on a rampage, killing all the foreigners.
They also wiped out Gao Tianyun, the leader of Wohu Village, and his gunmen.
The remaining bandits, presumably disguised, cowered among the crowd of people like quails, and were indistinguishable for the time being.
It's not that they didn't have malicious intent.
There's just too much malice in that one glance.
A total of six or seven hundred people, their gray and black aura surging forth, looked at him with eyes full of hatred and resentment.
"Yes, anyone who is jolted awake from their beautiful dream and whose hopes and dreams for a better future are shattered would be filled with resentment," Li Xin shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Shen Xinlan, however, was also filled with pity. Looking at the people whose eyes were filled with hatred, she sighed, "They will understand one day. People's hearts are in turmoil, and it's hard to distinguish between good and evil. We only ask to have a clear conscience, not to worry about the final outcome..."
Li Xin picked up the silver revolver from Gao Tianyun's body and then untied the leather pouch from his waist.
This man is a notorious thief, so naturally he has plenty of money.
You don't even need to look; there's definitely a considerable sum of money in his pocket.
Of course, most importantly, this man, renowned for his marksmanship, must have a large proportion of handgun bullets in his personal inventory.
They have much more money than I do.
Li Xin lifted the money bag, hung it on his waist, and let out a sigh of frustration.
Finally, he approached the more than 800 refugees and said loudly, "Now, the foreigners and mountain bandits have been killed. The remaining bandits from Crouching Tiger Mountain Stronghold have infiltrated your crowd and are difficult to distinguish. Please be careful."
"Going to Datong Bridge, sailing along the river to the sea, to a foreign land, from then on, you'll have no worries about food and clothing... All these claims are nothing but beautiful lies woven by foreign merchants; don't believe them."
Seeing the indifference and wary expressions in most people's eyes, Li Xin smiled and raised his voice again: "There are no free lunches in this world, and there is no savior in this world."
Whether it's kings, generals, high-ranking officials, or people you spend every day with, they could all be deceiving you, let alone foreigners you've never met before.
They gave you a few cakes, a few loaves of bread, and a few pounds of rice. They coaxed you with a few kind words, all they wanted was your blood and sweat, and a lifetime of toil.
Haven't you considered that if you go to the open ocean, what awaits you might not be heaven, but rather the deepest hell?
After saying this...
Li Xin turned and left.
As the saying goes.
It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.
I've done everything I could, but people just don't believe me.
Walked several dozen steps.
A loud shout came from behind...
Hundreds of people surged and crowded around the convoy.
They looted all the food, clothing, and other supplies.
A dense crowd of people scattered in all directions.
Li Xin and Shen Xinlan stood there quietly, watching without saying a word.
Only Li Xin noticed that among the dispersing crowd, there was still a small group of people.
Heading into the depths of the mountains and forests, we left along the road we had come from.
Fourteen faint red lights, scattered in the air, gathered and entered his body.
"In the end, there are still people who believe, even if it only saves a very small number of people, this trip is still worthwhile."
Li Xin laughed heartily, and without further hesitation, turned and hurried away.
"Miss Shen, let's part ways here."
Go back and tell Miss Yourong that I'm waiting for her news.
After saying this, Li Xin picked up his silver spear and disappeared into the nearby bushes.
It ran faster and faster, running like a gentle breeze.
"Waiting for news from You Rong? What news?"
Shen Xinlan froze on the spot.
Suddenly I came to my senses.
"I've been with You Rong all this time, yet I still can't understand as well as a boy I've only known for a few days."
Yes, the internal strife within the Zhang family has reached a point where their true intentions are fully revealed. After Gao Tianyun's death, those people will likely resort to desperate measures.
At this point, forbearance has reached its limit, and there is no need to endure it any longer.
Li Xin's words indicate he's waiting for a signal to act; truly a man of his word.
Shen Xinlan sighed.
I recalled that day at Ruyi Restaurant when Zhang Yourong asked me a question: "Can you do it?"
He certainly wouldn't break his promise.
A gentleman keeps his word.
He kept his promise to himself.
……
Li Xin had no idea what the martial arts-obsessed young lady from the Imperial Censor's family was thinking.
He simply used his telepathic abilities to activate his psychic perspective and stayed close behind someone.
That person kept a low profile.
From the moment Li Xin and Shen Xinlan approached the group of refugees, they watched from a distance.
If it weren't for the reflection from the telescope, which dazzled my eyes in the sunlight.
Li Xin had not yet noticed this person.
Later, amidst a series of battles, he deliberately circled around to get closer and finally discovered this person.
They saw a figure that was the same color as the tree bark, making it impossible to see clearly.
Li Xin had no idea who the other party was.
After observing for a while, I realized that the other person's gaze had been following me the whole time.
That's a bit strange.
If he were dealing with the foreigners from before, he would have acted long ago.
If not, then why are you staring at me?
Could it be someone from the Qing company?
It doesn't really look like it.
……
They chased after this person for dozens of meters.
Li Xin moved nimbly, without getting any closer.
Continue into the city, turning left and right, until you reach a place with relatively clean roads and elegant houses.
"It's the embassy district."
The man's figure flashed and disappeared, entering the alley and leaping into a three-courtyard house.
Li Xin watched from afar, when he heard a violent shout and curse coming from the courtyard:
"Baka!"
