"Get out of the way! If you don't want to die, get the hell out of the way!"
In front, three men charged recklessly, completely disregarding the passersby, smashing many pots, bowls, and basins along the way.
And Wei and Feixiao happened to be in their path.
"The celebration hasn't even officially started yet, how come someone is already causing trouble?"
Looking at the few people rushing over from a distance, Wei shielded Feixiao behind him, feeling a little puzzled.
"Before and after the celebration, there will definitely be a special campaign to crack down on crime. Perhaps these guys are some kind of wanted criminals?"
Feixiao was also a little puzzled, but these few in front of them were just small fries after all. As a general, Feixiao didn't take them seriously. She left these minor matters to Jiaoqiu and Mozawa to handle. The two of them, one overt and one covert, could handle it well.
What? You said what does a general do when she lets her subordinates do it? Of course, she goes home to accompany her old man! Bah! As a general, why should she do everything herself? Sometimes, it's necessary to trust subordinates appropriately! That's right, Feixiao was cultivating her subordinates, not because she was eager to go home and give gifts to her beloved! She wasn't some clingy fox spirit.
"Perhaps, but they don't look like it."
It wasn't until the enemies ran closer that Wei and Feixiao clearly saw their appearance.
What small-time thugs? These were clearly from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus!
Whether it was their attire, their current mental state, or the distinct scent of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus that only Wei could smell. Although he knew that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus was an unending menace on the Xianzhou, Wei found it a bit hard to believe that a few of them were caught so early in the celebration.
Judging by their hurried and panicked appearance, they must have been discovered and were now on the run.
He just didn't know what they were thinking, running into this bustling downtown area. Were they trying to make the Cloud Knights hesitate and then use the terrain of Chang'an Sky to escape?
"If you don't want to die, get the hell out of the way!"
Looking at Feixiao and Wei, who were directly blocking their path not far away, the leading man shouted ferociously.
"Please, please... Self-drawn... Hu!"
Just then, from the side of these Disciples of Sanctus Medicus members, a sweet shout emerged.
On the streets of Chang'an Sky after dinner, some idle people would always set up tables and play a few rounds of Imperial Jade. Qingque was originally a member of the Luofu envoy delegation for this celebration. However, to slack off, she found an opportunity to slip away from Fu Xuan. When she passed by here, her card addiction acted up, so she came over to play a few rounds.
As a result, her luck was at rock bottom, repeatedly failing to draw a winning tile. This round, she finally got an early listen, so she wanted to self-draw.
For this Imperial Jade, she had to be greedy!
But unexpectedly, just as she was about to slam her self-drawn tile onto the table, a pair of large hands next to her directly overturned her card table.
"Damn it, are you blind? Didn't you see I was trying to escape? Little brat, I overturned your card table this time. If there's a next time, I'll slap you to death!"
While committing the act, the leader of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus continued to curse, while Qingque, beside him, was petrified on the spot.
"I spent so long trying to get that winning hand!"
The cry was so pitiful that even Wei and Feixiao couldn't bear to look.
It's just a hand of cards, is it really that big of a deal?
At this moment, that group of people rushed to a spot not far from Wei and Feixiao. Seeing that the two had no intention of moving aside, their faces turned grim. They spread out their large, fan-like hands and charged directly at Wei and Feixiao.
If it were an ordinary Xianzhou native, that slap would at least cause a brain hemorrhage.
Wei also extended his fist, his qi and blood surging in his arm. As a doctor, it was reasonable to have some self-defense skills, right? After all, medical disputes were not uncommon these days.
Although he couldn't defeat powerful Pathstrider of Abundances, dealing with a small fry from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus was effortless.
Of course, what Wei didn't know was that he had already experienced the biggest medical dispute, which was between him and Feixiao back then. Though neither of them knew who the other was at the time.
When Feixiao was chasing Wei, he was so frustrated that he thought if he ever got the chance to catch that b*tch, he would definitely imprison her and make her his bandit chieftain's wife! The kind who gets 'p-a-p' nine times a day!
He was truly driven to desperation.
Just as Wei was about to make a move, he saw Qingque nearby and withdrew his hand.
"Wife... wife, be careful!"
In an instant, he shielded Feixiao in his arms.
"Give me back my self-drawn win!"
Behind the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus group, Qingque's eyes welled up with tears. The Imperial Jade in her hand glowed with a green light. Then, she forcefully threw it at the members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Bang!
In an instant, the tile accurately struck the leader of the three, hitting him in the back and knocking him out cold on the spot.
Afterward, that tile suddenly exploded, and a green light swept forth. A powerful gust of wind howled, directly engulfing all three fleeing thugs and defeating them completely.
"Is this the resentment of a card player? It's truly terrifying…"
Witnessing this, Wei couldn't help but sigh. Such a small body could unleash such immense energy; that single tile completely crushed those three.
Wei wasn't surprised that someone from Luofu would appear on Yaoqing Xianzhou. This time, the Celebration of Triumphant Return was a grand event, so it was normal for Luofu to send envoys. He probably snuck out, right?
A thought popped into Wei's mind: "You wouldn't want Fu Xuan to know you snuck out to slack off and play cards, would you?"
Shaking his head, Wei dispelled his leisurely thoughts and then looked at Qingque.
After easily dealing with the thugs, the surrounding people erupted in cheers and applause. Being watched by so many, Qingque awkwardly scratched her head with a shy smile.
Defeating the thugs with one blow was truly cool, but crying about her winning hand being taken was truly pathetic.
After seeing that the trouble was resolved, some shop owners returned to their stores as if nothing had happened.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my wife and I would have probably been injured by the thugs."
Wei walked over and said gratefully.
Feixiao also nodded meaningfully beside him. "I am just a Fox-person with no power to resist. Of course, I have no ability to fight back against the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus!"
"Hehe, I didn't do much… It's my duty to help when I see injustice."
Qingque said shyly.
"Looking at your attire, you must not be a native of Yaoging, right? Many guests have come to Yaoging for this Celebration of Triumphant Return. You must be visiting from Luofu, right? Would you mind telling me where you work? I'll personally write a thank-you letter and send it to your unit. Oh, the Cloud Knights will be here soon. Please wait a moment; there will naturally be a reward for resolving this trouble."
Feixiao also said with a beaming smile beside him.
Since she saw it, she naturally had to show her appreciation. This little girl was quite cute too.
"Ah? How could I… No, no, no, that won't be necessary! Our leader taught me to do good deeds without leaving a name!"
Qingque was initially a bit embarrassed, but then she suddenly thought. If the other party really went to the Luofu envoy delegation with that banner to find her, setting aside everything else, wouldn't her sneaking out to play cards today be exposed?
No! Absolutely not! Fu Xuan must not know about this! In that case, the best strategy is to run!
Without waiting for Feixiao and Wei to speak again, Qingque spoke once more.
"Sorry, I have urgent matters to attend to. My name is Li Sushang, and I will personally explain this matter when I meet General Feixiao tomorrow! Goodbye! Oh, and please, don't send me any banners or anything! I'm a rather low-key person, so this is fine, just like this!"
With that, Qingque scurried away in a hurry, leaving a trail of dust on the street. Her short legs ran quite fast.
Leaving Feixiao and Wei looking at each other in confusion.
"This girl is in such a hurry. It was just a thank-you letter or a banner, but it felt like a death warrant to her? She ran faster than anyone."
Watching "Li Sushang" quickly disappear around the street corner, Feixiao shook her head, somewhat puzzled.
"Hmm, perhaps in her eyes, that commendation was truly like a death warrant. Never mind, wife. Since she doesn't want to show her face, then we'll let it be."
Although Wei was a bit taken aback when Qingque introduced herself as Li Sushang, he didn't intend to maliciously expose Qingque.
