Chapter 571: Chapter 575: Chase or Not? _1
But he was, after all, the Third Master of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village. Did they really think they could capture him with just these people?
One should know with their little toe that this was impossible.
Yet at this moment, the guard was highly alert, and with the unpredictable Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong present, it was not the best time to make a move.
So he could only endure for the time being.
Xuan Qing’s venomous gaze shifted around. He would remember these people!
They better pray they don’t fall into his hands; otherwise, he would certainly let them know what it felt like to wish for death.
"Master Xuan San, you better not resent it. Lord Qin is not blind. You should have thought of this outcome when you went to rob Bai’s Medical Clinic,"
said the guard as he tied up Xuan San with rope.
He bound him securely, and now, even if Owner Xuan San had immense skills, he would likely be helpless.
The leader clasped his hands together in a salute, "Fourth Lord, Madam, we will take our leave first."
"Be careful."
Tan Zhenghong urged cautiously. Xuan Qing was no ordinary person, and he felt a bit uneasy.
The guard confidently said, "Fourth Lord, put your heart at ease; we brothers will surely deliver him in front of Lord Qin."
With that, they left with Xuan Qing in custody.
The group of them marched majestically toward the Government Office. As they passed the mouth of the alley, Xuan Qing gave a signal with his eyes to someone there.
That was a spy planted by Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, responsible for gathering and disseminating information.
Straight after, the person turned and entered the alley, everything happening as quickly as if nothing had occurred.
Just as they were about to reach the Government Office, the leading guard suddenly stopped and listened carefully to the sounds around them.
Seeing him like this, the others tensed up as well.
The footsteps around them were chaotic, and it seemed there were quite a few people.
"Big brother, what should we do?"
"Regardless, we can’t let him run away. We must deliver him to the Government Office."
Before his words had faded, Xuan Qing, with his hands bound, suddenly flashed a movement, neatly dodging the broadsword aimed at his neck. Then, with a leap, he kicked both feet into the guard’s back.
The guard, who had just been looking confident, now embarrassingly fell flat on his face, while Master Xuan San landed with a graceful stance – the difference in their abilities was immediately apparent.
At the same time, many people emerged from all directions.
Judging by their attire, they must all be mountain bandits from Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
"Don’t let Xuan Qing escape!"
The head guard scrambled up, only to have to face the bandits attacking him, forcing him to fend them off first.
But the number of bandits was too great, and their goal was clear: to entangle them.
The few guards couldn’t take care of so much, and before long, Xuan Qing had hurried away with the cover of the others.
Seeing that the Third Master had escaped danger, the others no longer lingered in battle and scattered in all directions, leaving behind only a few who were dead or seriously injured.
"Big brother, should we pursue?"
"Some of you go after him, the rest check their bodies for any clues. Search thoroughly, perhaps we can redeem ourselves with our findings."
The lead guard’s face was grim, thinking of the grand promises he had just made to Tan Zhenghong and felt a burning shame on his face.
The slap in his own face couldn’t have been louder!
The others hurried to comply, and soon someone found a waist token with a large "Yin" character written on it.
Who else could use this but Yin Zheng’s family?
The head guard quickly said, "Let’s not alarm anyone with this matter for now, bring it directly back to the Government Office."
"Yes!"
The guard gave the bandits a cursory bandaging to prevent them from dying on the way.
They hoped this discovery could earn Lord Qin’s forgiveness; otherwise, how could they face the young lady?
