The Strongest Knight

Chapter 184 Promotion

This Li Hu is also six feet tall and strong. He was originally a gangster in the county. After being conquered by Zhao Qinghe, he became Zhao Qinghe's "right-hand man".

But this guy is like this in his nature. He can be dispatched smoothly when the wind is favorable, but he cannot be relied upon when something goes wrong.

Just like three days ago, when the monster just entered the city, this guy found an excuse to leave, and in the end only Zhao Qinghe, with his great skills and courage, chased it out of the city.

Zhao Qinghe has been practicing in the yard these days.

But he was not completely unaware of the monster-slaying team. Li Hu told Zhao Qinghe about several powerful figures he had observed.

One was a knight from another county, about thirty years old, and probably had committed a crime. He only gave his nickname as "Iron Head". He carried a long sword on his back and claimed to be a third-rate fighter. He came for money.

One was a local martial artist from Qingquan County named Shangguan Jun, who was only a few years older than Zhao Qinghe. He had been studying in a martial arts school in another county, but when he heard that a monster was wreaking havoc in Qingquan County, he rushed back overnight. He did not ask for silver, but only wanted to rid his hometown of the evil.

The last one was a middle-aged Taoist priest. No matter how Li Hu tried to test him, he could not find out his depth.

He is quiet and only drinks at banquets, only tasting a few dishes, and behaves in a solitary manner.

Hearing what Li Hu said, Zhao Qinghe paid special attention to observing the middle-aged Taoist priest.

This middle-aged Taoist priest had nothing in his sleeves and was resting with his eyes closed. Zhao Qinghe could not make out anything, but he could not rule out the possibility that he had practiced another power system, so he still had to pay close attention to him.

In addition, in Zhao Qinghe's opinion, Tietou did have the strength of a third-rate fighter, which was true.

As for the other Shangguan Jun, his steps were unsteady and he could be considered a fourth-rate person at best.

Zhao Qinghe stepped forward and handed over the documents to County Chief Zhang Wen.

"The sun is rising, the Yang energy is strong, let's set off immediately!"

Zhao Qinghe spoke with full energy, and everyone responded. They shouted slogans to kill the monster and followed Zhao Qinghe to the north of the county, where the monster disappeared.

Zhao Qinghe has not been the head of the police force for nothing.

He has subdued at least half a hundred thieves, and he is very famous in Qingquan County.

A person's shadow is like the bark of a tree. Shangguan Jun and other men in Qingquan County are very convinced of Zhao Qinghe.

As a truly experienced man of the world and a third-rate fighter, the ranger Tietou had a keen eye and could see that Zhao Qinghe was no simple man. He was convinced by the command of the captain of the police.

After Zhao Qinghe spoke, the middle-aged Taoist priest slightly opened his eyes and took a step forward quietly.

Zhao Qinghe could tell that this action was not simple.

How is it possible for an ordinary person to walk silently?

This middle-aged Taoist priest might have some real skills.

"Captain Zhao! I've heard of your great name for a long time! It's such an honor to be able to kill monsters with you this time!"

The team began to move forward. Shangguan Jun quickened his pace, came to Zhao Qinghe and bowed.

Zhao Qinghe smiled back, "Young Master Shangguan, right? Please invite those two over here so that the four of us can have a good discussion."

Zhao Qinghe pointed at Tietou in the middle of the team and the middle-aged Taoist hanging at the end.

"I understand. I'll go by myself!" Shangguan Jun was not angry at being ordered around. Instead, he was happy to be included in the center of the group by Zhao Qinghe. He ran over happily.

Soon, Tietou and the middle-aged Taoist followed Shangguan Jun and came to Zhao Qinghe.

"Captain Zhao! Nice to meet you!" Tietou bowed and said.

The middle-aged Taoist also nodded slightly to the nominal commander of the team.

This made Shangguan Jun and the idle constable Li Hu frown at the same time.

It’s okay if you’re facing others, but how dare you act so arrogantly in front of Captain Zhao?

Captain Zhao is a powerful captain who has killed real martial arts masters! Good news for Qingquan County!

"Well, I asked you to come here because I want to share my experiences gained from these few encounters with monsters. We can talk while we walk." Zhao Qinghe certainly wouldn't care about these.

Hearing what Zhao Qinghe said, the people around him, including the middle-aged Taoist priest, showed interest.

In fact, in the entire Qingquan County, Zhao Qinghe was the only one who dealt with the monster head-on during the three times when the monster entered the city and abducted children. He even chased the monster out of the city alone once.

Zhao Qinghe's knowledge of monsters definitely exceeds that of anyone else in Qingquan County.

"Captain Zhao, please be sure to explain the characteristics of the monster clearly." The middle-aged Taoist spoke for the first time.

"This is natural." Zhao Qinghe smiled and began to speak seriously.

As far as he could remember, Zhao Qinghe had indeed had several direct encounters with this suddenly appearing monster.

The first time the monster entered the county town, Zhao Qinghe was in a street tavern, with a machete on the table, drinking rice wine leisurely with a few hangers-on.

Suddenly, there were screams and cries coming from the street, and a gust of wind blew up on the street for no apparent reason. Zhao Qinghe hurriedly rushed out with his machete in hand.

Then I saw something so fast that it formed a black shadow and was sweeping something towards the outside of the city.

Zhao Qinghe shouted loudly and chased after him with a knife in hand.

It was a pity that the black shadow could actually walk on the city wall. It quickly passed the four-meter-high wall and disappeared from Zhao Qinghe's eyes.

Afterwards, Zhao Qinghe learned that a little girl from a family in the county town had been abducted.

Zhao Qinghe thought that the monster would not dare to come again, so he relaxed his defense after a few days.

Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, the monster attacked again, and Zhao Qinghe was unable to stop it. This time, it not only took away a child, but also killed one person and seriously injured three people.

At that time, Zhao Qinghe was really angry and felt ashamed of his dereliction of duty.

So for the next few days, Zhao Qinghe stayed on the city wall, on guard.

After more than ten days, Zhao Qinghe finally saw the monster.

The black shadow emerged from the depths of the mountains and forests in the north of the county and moved towards the city wall of Qingquan County at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Qinghe shouted loudly, took out the prepared bow and arrow and shot, but the arrow hit the black shadow and had no effect at all.

Instead, it alarmed the monster, which changed direction and entered the county town from the other side.

Zhao Qinghe shouted as he climbed down from the city wall to chase the monster.

However, the monster was too fast and Zhao Qinghe was still a step slower. The monster rolled the child and ran out of the city, while the child's parents chased after them.

This time, Zhao Qinghe gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll go after him!" and chased out of the city alone.

"and then?"

Zhao Qinghe paused here and Shangguan Jun couldn't help but ask.

"Then, I chased it into the forest. The monster seemed to be crawling on the ground, but the tracks it left were so faint that you couldn't tell them apart without a close look! I chased and chased, and finally found the monster's hiding place."

"But I thought that a monster that could not be injured by a three-stone arrow was beyond my ability to defeat alone, so I thought again and again and retreated."

At this point, Zhao Qinghe sighed in shame.

"Captain Zhao has made a wise move. Don't worry about it. In this world today, there are few people as enthusiastic and dedicated as Captain Zhao. After I kill the monster, I will come back and give you three cups of wine." The middle-aged Taoist said.

"Master, thank you for your kindness!" Zhao Qinghe bowed.
