Chapter 508: Jailbreak

The incident on the street had ended.

But the shock it left for some was still continuing.

Wu Mingxiao was like a rusted machine, staring blankly out the window, his heart in a state of chaos.

"The Assistant Commissioner colluded with Japanese pirates?"

"The Guard Commander said so?"

"Execution tomorrow?"

He simply could not believe his ears.

When he received orders to leave Dengzhou five months ago, his Assistant Commissioner was still a hero revered by ten thousand in this Dengzhou Guard and Laizhou Prefecture. Not only did the Dengzhou Guard Commander trust him deeply, but countless local commoners had even built shrines to worship him in their homes, and the "Qi Family Army" under his command was as vigorous as dragons and tigers, incredibly majestic.

Yet, after just a trip to Jiangxi, how could he be facing beheading!

And a storyteller had to risk his life to cry out for justice for him?

How could this be!

Why would the Guard Commander frame the Assistant Commissioner, where were the brothers of the Qi Family Army now, tomorrow... tomorrow!

Wu Mingxiao gripped his sword hilt tightly.

"Brother Li, let us part ways here."

"Thank you for the journey; I have something to do, it is of great importance, and I cannot implicate you... If there is a chance to meet again in the future, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will repay your kindness in escorting us... and my Young Lady, I trouble you to look after her for a while; if I can return alive, I will come to fetch her."

Having said this, he turned to leave.

Just as he turned, he suddenly froze.

Li Miao controlled Wu Mingxiao from a distance with one hand, turned his head, and said to Zhao Ying with a smile.

"Little Zhao, did you hear that?"

"He's afraid of implicating me, isn't that funny?"

Zhao Ying was not Li Miao's subordinate; theoretically, the two still had a grudge, so she naturally wouldn't play along, only lowering her head to coax the child without a word.

Li Miao didn't mind, lifting Wu Mingxiao over from a distance and placing him in front, only then dissipating his true energy.

Wu Mingxiao immediately said urgently.

"Brother Li! Do you know what I am going to do!"

Li Miao waved his hand dismissively.

"Jailbreak, a big deal indeed."

"Do you see any lack of capital crimes on my record?"

Wu Mingxiao choked.

Ah, right... he was momentarily muddled and had forgotten.

This Brother Li before him was an outlaw who had wiped out the Fucheng County Magistrate, the entire Yamen, and over a hundred people from the Huang residence, all while continuing to drink and eat as usual... he really didn't lack the crime of a jailbreak.

But one thing was one thing; Li Miao might not care, but he couldn't righteously demand Li Miao risk his life for him. The Dengzhou Guard was a garrison; the guards of a garrison prison were not comparable to those of Fucheng County!

So Wu Mingxiao gritted his teeth and prepared to persuade him again.

Li Miao, however, ignored him, stepped down from the window, and walked out leisurely.

"Eat your food, sleep after you're done."

"Tomorrow, I guarantee I will return a whole and intact Assistant Commissioner to you."

Having said this, his figure flashed.

When Wu Mingxiao looked again, he could no longer find a trace of Li Miao.

He sat down at the table dejectedly and slammed his fist onto the table.

"Why am I so useless!"

Zhao Ying, beside him, raised her head to look at him. After Li Miao left, her expression became more vivid. Seeing Wu Mingxiao wallowing in self-pity, she spoke faintly.

"Are you full?"

Wu Mingxiao turned to look at her.

"Miss Zhao, how could I have the heart to eat!"

Zhao Ying shook her head.

"If he told you to eat, then eat; if he told you to rest assured, then rest assured... as long as it's a matter that can be solved by killing, you don't need to worry."

She stood up, holding the child, and walked to the door.

"In this world, there doesn't seem to be anything that cannot be solved by killing."

Zhao Ying shook her head and pushed the door open.

"So, finish eating and go to sleep."

"Since we've reached Dengzhou, tomorrow, I should leave as well."

"You are very lucky; you and your Assistant Commissioner are both good people... I hope we do not meet again." ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
