Chapter 144 I Want a Weekend Off
As various orders were sent out one after another, Qi Yegui and Shen Xiaoyin's faces finally looked a little better.
Liu Chengming did not suppress them intentionally as expected, and the tasks he assigned were all intended to allow people from all forces to participate.
Whether it's picking up the evil beads left behind in the battle to defend the city, or searching house to house for hidden evil spirits, whether it's a lucrative task or a life-threatening task, people from several forces are involved.
We supervise together and work together.
Such an arrangement, at least for now, has been recognized by all parties.
"Okay, then the work of picking up the Filthy Trace Beads at each city wall has been assigned. The Filthy Trace Beads that dropped in the city area have also been handed over to the heads of each block for arrangement. Now there is only one left outside the west gate of the city. It is said that an old hero turned his body into thunder and blasted it out among the evil spirits.
Let's follow the old rules. My Liu family will send one person, your Night Tour Division will send one person, and finally the Yan family will send one person. Three people will be enough. As for who to send, you can decide for yourselves."
After Liu Chengming finished speaking, he continued to flip through the booklet, preparing to assign the next task.
"Xia Wan, I'll leave this mission of leaving the city to you."
Shen Xiaoyin saw Xia Wan in the crowd, waved his hand, and assigned the task to her.
Xia Wan's appearance also made the eyes of several people in the Liu family's armored corps light up.
Xia Wan was naturally beautiful. She was in her early twenties, at the peak of her youth and beauty. With her tall figure and pretty face, she possessed the characteristics of both a mature woman and a young girl, which was very much to the taste of the people of Akita.
Two people in the team exchanged glances, and one of them took the order and led Xia Wan and a young man from the Yan family straight to the west gate.
The other person whispered something in Liu Chengming's ear, and Liu Chengming glared at him.
But he was still assigned an insignificant little task, and then quietly followed Xia Wan and the other two.
Maybe because of the shortage of manpower, the Yan family member who was accompanying them was only 14 years old, named Yan Jingyan, and it was obvious from his words and actions that he was inexperienced in the world.
Heading towards the west gate, Xia Wan was stunned by the scenes along the way. Although he had been fighting non-stop last night, it was at night after all, and his vision was still limited, so many scenes could not be seen clearly.
But at this moment, as he actually walked out of the city gate, he saw corpses everywhere along the way and blood plasma residue all over the ruins. Even though Xia Wan had been a night watchman for quite some time and was accustomed to seeing life and death, he was still shocked by these scenes.
Yan Jingyan was even worse. He vomited as soon as he left the city gate.
“Hahahaha, are you still considered a cultivator? How can you not even handle such a small scene? You really are a chicken raised in a chicken coop!”
Seeing Yan Jingyan vomiting due to nausea, the general of the Liu family started to ridicule him.
But Xia Wan did not dare to underestimate Yan Jingyan because she herself was not much better.
After all, killing people and evil spirits has different visual and psychological impacts from seeing broken corpses all over the ground.
"Let's go quickly. We have to go back soon. I estimate that we will first clear out a part of the city today as a new city defense to prevent the evil spirits from attacking again tonight. As for the entire Hengzhou Prefecture, we can only expand it little by little.
By the way, my name is Liu Chengxi, seeing how cowardly you two are, I will be in charge of this mission."
After saying that, Liu Chengxi looked at Xia Wan deeply, turned around and accelerated towards the explosion point of Old Man Nie.
This look also made Xia Wan feel a little uncomfortable, but due to the mission, Xia Wan could only follow along.
Five kilometers was not a long distance, and the three of them arrived at the destination in a short while.
"Hey! Has this place been cleaned up by someone? The number of these Filthy Trace Beads is less than expected! And the old man's body has obviously been moved away!"
Liu Chengxi did not pick up the dirty bead immediately, but looked at it for a few seconds before muttering.
But addressing him as "old thing" made Xia Wan frown again.
"Pick up the Filthy Trace Beads first, and hand them all over to me later. Don't think of keeping some of them for yourself. All the Filthy Trace Beads whose evil spirits have not completely dissipated are spoils of this battle to defend the city. I believe you are aware of this."
After saying that, Liu Chengxi began to bend over and pick up the items one by one. It seemed that there was no suitable method in the martial arts he practiced to pick up things quickly.
Unlike Yang Qing, who learned the "Picking Pearls Technique" of Ziqi Tianluo, which can release true energy and control the energy to pick up objects.
Seeing this, Xia Wan also started to follow suit and picked up the beads one by one.
While Liu Chengxi was picking up the things, he would always glance at Xia Wan from time to time. There was an aggression in his gaze, as if he was looking at prey, which made Xia Wan unconsciously remain on guard.
Only Yan Jingyan kept using his body skills to quickly shuttle across the ground, expending his energy to pick up the dirty beads on the ground. His picking speed was even faster than that of Liu Chengxi and Xia Wan.
After a while, most of the evil beads within a one-kilometer radius were picked up by these people.
“I, Liu Chengxi, picked up a total of 609.
In the summer evening, a total of 531 pieces were picked up.
Yan Jingyan picked up a total of 1,284 beads.
Wow, Brother Yan, your skills are amazing. You have picked up more than the two of us combined!
Come, give me a hug, I admire you!"
After saying that, Liu Chengxi smiled, stretched out his arms towards Yan Jingyan with kindness, and gave him a hug, which is common among boys.
Yan Jingyan felt embarrassed, he was not very old to begin with, and his expression immediately brightened up when he was praised like that.
Suddenly, Yan Jingyan felt a chill in his abdomen. He didn't know when a dagger had pierced his stomach.
In severe pain, Yan Jingyan looked down tremblingly. At this moment, Liu Chengxi was holding the handle of the dagger with one hand and slowly exerting force upwards.
Yan Jingyan couldn't understand it. Liu Chengxi's arms were clearly hugging him, so where did this extra hand holding a knife come from?
hiss!
The short knife was raised, and Yan Jingyan was knocked flying. His entire stomach was ripped open by the opponent, and even his ribs were cut off, including his heart.
The peripheral vision before his death allowed Yan Jingyan to see clearly that Liu Chengxi had a pair of arms under his armpits, and that he was looking at him with a sarcastic expression and a smirk.
"Liu Chengxi! What are you doing!?"
Faced with this sudden scene, Xia Wan was stunned. Even though Xia Wan had a premonition that there was something wrong with Liu Chengxi's eyes, she did not expect this guy to suddenly take action and even kill Yan Jingyan directly.
"Haha, it's nothing. I just feel that we have come all the way from Baisha Prefecture to help you defend the city in Hengzhou Prefecture. We have all been credited for this and have done a lot of hard work. Miss Xia, shouldn't you give us some compensation?"
"What compensation? I have no compensation for you.
The leader of Hengzhou Prefecture is the captain of your Imperial Armor Corps. If you want any reward, go find your captain."
After saying this, Xia Wan looked solemn, and two daggers as white as glass instantly appeared in his hands.
"But I just want to ask you for some compensation. To be honest, Miss Xia, I want to practice dual cultivation with you."
