Demon detective

Chapter 153 Pursuit
The accident happened so fast that Xu Zhen could barely react except to get off his horse and dodge.

He could barely see that this group of gangsters might be after Meng Qingxi.

But he couldn't understand why the other party shot an arrow at the tree trunk first, and then shot Meng Qingxi on the shoulder.

Also, since Meng Qingxi was going to be killed, why did he shoot the shoulder instead of the vitals?Now, why bother to show up?
Although I can't figure it out, the situation must be bad!

Since there was no carriage with a carriage, Qin Yin was also riding on another horse, so Xu Zhen quickly pulled her off the horse and hid behind the horse together.

The sound of the piano was naturally terrified, tightly wrapped in Xu Zhen's arms and dared not make a sound.

It was too late, but in the blink of an eye, the No. 1 gangster had already rushed forward.

This person's footsteps are light, and his sword is sharp, and his martial arts are not trivial.

Although there were many people beside Meng Qingxi, they were obviously soldiers and crab generals. At the moment, they all stood in place stupidly, watching the No.1 gangster stab Meng Qingxi with a sword.

Swish!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the gangster stabbed out with his long sword, a burst of blood burst out from his arm!
Oh ah……

The gangster was in pain, and the black long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

And almost in an instant, a group of black shadows sprang out from the woods on the left like a fright, and fell among the men in black in the blink of an eye.

wow!

Xu Zhen looked over through the gap in the saddle, his heart was overjoyed immediately, and his hanging heart was immediately let go.

However, Hei Ying was a female Taoist nun wearing a Xuanjiao Yufeng robe. The female Taoist nun was elegant, stern and proud, holding a black Emei thorn in her left hand.

As soon as Li Chan'er landed, she pulled out the Emei thorn that had stabbed the gangster's arm, and then fought with several other gangsters!
Steady!

Xu Zhen suddenly thought that probably the letter he wrote to Li Chan'er before departure played a role.

The content of that letter was very simple, that is, Xu Zhen invited Li Chan'er to go with him and go to Yaochang Village to solve the collective poisoning case.

Of course, the reason why I wrote this invitation letter was to find an opportunity to get close to Miss Li.

Because Li Sixiong was seriously ill, Xu Zhen guessed that Li Chan'er hadn't left Yanping yet, and if they wanted to hide in peace, that secret room would undoubtedly be a good place.

Therefore, when Xu Zhen found out that the door of the secret room was closed, he expected that Li Chan'er would be able to read the letter he had left for her.

Of course, it is one thing to see the letter, but quite another to see the letter.

But now it seemed that Li Chan'er obviously couldn't let go of this case, so she followed along, but happened to encounter this sudden attack in front of her.

oops...

Oops!

Xu Zhen suddenly thought that Li Chan'er would not have been secretly observing him to solve the case the whole time, right?
Then...the thing about giving Qin Yin a tutoring class...she...

puff……

Xu Zhen was distracted, but saw another crossbow bolt hit Meng Qingxi's chest, the pain made him spit out a mouthful of blood immediately!
oh um...

Only then did Xu Zhen come back to his senses, realizing that the gangsters in front of him were not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Peeking over, I saw two more gangsters rushing out of the woods on the left, all together there were as many as six.

Xu Zhen finally understood that it was no wonder that the crossbow arrow hit the tree trunk at first. It turned out that Li Chan'er had already discovered that these gangsters were plotting wrongdoing, so he acted in time.

At this moment, including the masked gangster with an injured arm, the six of them surrounded Li Chan'er and fought extremely fiercely.

Xu Zhen has seen Li Chan'er make a move, even if he is as strong as Shen Yu, he has not gone through ten rounds under her hands.

So according to common sense, these six people should be able to be taken down by Li Chan'er within 1 minute, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen habitually looked at his wrist, thinking he was wearing a watch!
When he raised his head again, he realized that his estimation was actually quite accurate.

Because looking at the past, with Li Chan'er's two Emei thorns doing whatever she wanted, the six gangsters were all stabbed and fell down!

So...so handsome!

Li Chan'er's movements are chic and elegant, sharp and nimble, especially that ponytail swinging back and forth, that slender figure, that delicate facial features...

However, the next scene broke the harmony in Xu Zhen's eyes.

Because the six gangsters swallowed the pills in their sleeves one after another after seeing that they were wounded and no longer able to fight, and then sprayed blood from their mouths, and died violently on the spot!
"oh oh……"

At the same time, Xu Zhen heard Meng Qingxi's wailing, but saw his chest heaving violently, as if he was about to die.

No way?
Are crossbow arrows poisonous?

Xu Zhen couldn't stay still anymore, so he rushed to Meng Qingxi, wanting to ask.

But when he looked closer, he realized that four or five crossbow arrows had hit Meng Qingxi's body, and one of them missed his chest. Obviously, he was hopeless!
"Woo... woo..." Meng Qingxi still raised his arms and opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Zhen hurriedly approached his mouth, only to hear Meng Qingxi say a name with difficulty: "Qing...Qinghui...Meng Qinghui...he...oh..."

what?
Xu Zhen was instantly confused. Isn't Meng Qinghui the richest man in Yaochang Village who drank poisonous wine?
Why did Meng Qingxi mention his name?
"You..." When Xu Zhen looked over again, he found that Meng Qingxi had died and his right hand was still resting on his heart.

This……

How could this be?
Ever since Xu Zhen traveled through time, he has never encountered such an uncontrollable accident.

There was no warning in advance, and it came fiercely and suddenly.

This Meng Qingxi's identity is obviously not simple, is it?

At this moment, the others were all stupefied, all shivering behind the tree.

Although Li Chan'er had already dealt with all the gangsters, they felt that Li Chan'er was more terrifying than the gangsters.

"What did he tell you?"

At this time, after confirming that the six masked gangsters were all dead, Li Chan'er turned around and pointed at Meng Qingxi's body, and asked Xu Zhen a question.

It’s over.

Just this sentence is enough to confirm Xu Zhen's conjecture that Li Chan'er has been quietly paying attention to him since the first day he entered Yaochang Village to investigate the case.

For a moment, Xu Zhen seemed to have no clothes on, and Li Chan'er could see through her.

"Hey," Li Chan'er's expression darkened, "I'm asking you something!"

"Miss, I..." Xu Zhen looked at Meng Qingxi's corpse, then at the corpses of the six masked thugs, then turned his heart and said to Li Chan'er very solemnly, "I want to announce something now You don’t have to agree to me, but you’d better think about it carefully.”

"What?" Li Chan'er flicked the blood on Emei's thorn, and asked with frowned eyebrows, "What do you mean? What's the matter?"

"I want..." Xu Zhen said resolutely, "I want to pursue you!!! Be my girlfriend... oh... my fiancee?"

shuh...

In an instant, all the woods in the positive area became quiet.

The people hiding behind the tree were dumbfounded, and the maid Qin Yin also covered her mouth in surprise.

"You..." Li Chan'er also didn't know why, and immediately raised her right hand to stab at Xu Zhen, "Are you courting death?"

"It's like being in love with each other, it's not like forgetting each other in the Jianghu," Xu Zhen said very seriously, "But I can't forget you! I don't want to forget you in the Jianghu, I have the right to chase you..."

Before the word "利" was out of the mouth, the bloody Emei thorn was already stuck in Xu Zhen's throat...
