Chapter 1128 Without a thumbs-up, the prestige is halved
There were seven constables guarding the city gate and collecting entrance fees.
Now one is rolling to the side, clutching his broken leg, while the other is huddled on the ground, clutching the wound of his broken finger.
The other five constables were also afraid, but they were able to rely on the fact that they had steel knives.
The other one... the one whose thumb was chopped off was their leader, the head of this group of constables;
The boss's cousin even went to work for the prefect and became his wife.
Their prefect was practically their boss's brother-in-law.
If they don't act now, later on... if their leader, their companions, and the prefect above them investigate, they'll probably have a hard time explaining themselves.
So the constables made their move...
Xiao Jingyu also moved.
However, most of the yamen runners were all bark and no bite, just putting on a show;
There were also one or two yamen runners who were gritting their teeth and snarling fiercely;
Others, seeing their companions move, felt it wouldn't be right for them not to rush forward, so they drew their swords, swung their chains, and followed suit.
Xiao Jingyu, however, remained calm and composed throughout.
Xiao Jingyu didn't take the yamen runners' attack—with their three waist knives and two iron chains—simply in stride.
Moreover, a mocking smile always lingered on his lips.
Xiao Jingyu casually placed his hands behind his back, his handsome and upright figure moving nimbly between the steel blades and iron chains, like a fish swimming in water, calm and at ease.
The steel knives and chains wielded by the constables couldn't even touch the hem of Xiao Jingyi's clothes.
Xiao Jingyu slightly turned his body, and an iron chain from one of the constables swept past him and wrapped around the waist knife of another constable.
The iron chain was tangled around the waist knife and couldn't be pulled off for a while, so the two constables had to quickly switch between putting away the knife and removing the chain...
Xiao Jingyu ignored them, shifted his feet slightly, and gracefully moved behind two constables, while also dodging the knives slashing at him by three other constables.
The three constables couldn't stop their slashing knives and they collided directly together, making a clanging sound.
Xiao Jingyu merely raised his foot and lightly kicked the three constables, causing them to lose their balance and drop their grip on their knives...
Before the three constables, who had lost their footing, could even sheath their swords, the result was...
One constable's knife slashed another constable's arm, and a scream of pain rang out... Blood was drawn, and the constable's knife fell to the ground.
Seeing that his knife had injured his companion, the constable froze for a moment, and then another constable next to him, whose knife he couldn't stop, slashed right across his cheek...
A scream of agony rang out, and blood was drawn again.
This constable was already ugly, and now he's completely disfigured!
The third constable who slashed his companion's cheek didn't fare any better. He wasn't injured by the knife, but another constable's chain, which he couldn't stop after being swung around, inexplicably changed direction and blinded him in one eye...
"what"!
Another scream rang out;
In the blink of an eye, several constables covered their wounds with their hands and retreated to the side in a panic, trying to stay as far away from Xiao Jingyu as possible. They looked at Xiao Jingyu with terrified eyes and shrank to the side, no longer daring to say or move.
The remaining two constables were also kicked down by Xiao Jingyu with a clever move, falling directly onto their injured companions...
Another series of screams assaulted the ears of everyone present.
It's too late to say, then soon!
Xiao Jingyu dealt with the constables in the blink of an eye. The common people who were standing in the distance and looking over hadn't even seen what was going on yet. The only people still standing under the city gate were the young man and the little girl.
The vicious yamen runners who usually bullied the people were all injured and lying on the ground.
"You...you have such audacity!"
Are you...are you planning a rebellion?
You should know that this is Dongchang Prefecture!
Do you know who the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture is?
Do you know... do you know what kind of relationship the master has with the prefect?
You dare to hurt me!
How dare you hurt my brothers!
You're all asking for it!
The burly yamen runner seemed to have recovered a bit by now.
His left hand was still tightly gripping the wound on his right hand. He glanced at the pile of constables lying next to him, then raised his head and glared fiercely at Xiao Jingyu, especially Leng Rongyue.
He looked at Leng Rongyue, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness...
What's infuriating is that what looks like a delicate little flower is actually a thorny rose!
She chopped off one of her fingers without even blinking!
He even slashed and ran away, as if afraid that his blood would stain her dress!
This...this...this is just too much!
This is so infuriating!
He originally thought that there were many yamen runners on his side, while there were only two of them. He thought that as long as he scared them and beat them up, none of them would disobey him!
Little did they know, these two were clearly tough opponents!
Among this group of yamen runners, one had a broken leg, he and several others were injured, and he himself had his thumb chopped off by that seemingly delicate wild girl!
How can he ever again point a thumbs-up at himself when bragging?
His prestige was completely diminished by more than half!
