Anyang County, three hundred miles north of Yuanbeicheng, is a large city in the north of Anyang County, named Longwei City.
Longwei City is located in the plains. It is the easternmost city in Anyang County. To the north, it is the transportation hub of eastern Hanzhou, Danggang. Two hundred miles to the east is the Shangyun Mountains. Over the Shangyun Mountains, there is
Liulin County, a prosperous place in Jiangzhou.
But because it is located in a plain, neither near a river nor a mountain, although there is not much cultivated land and population, it can almost be regarded as the least significant city in Anyang County except Nankou City, not to mention the other city in Anyang County.
Compared with the cities in the north, even compared with Yuanbeicheng and Shuanglong City, they were inferior. Over time, it became a corner forgotten by the powerful officials in Anyang County.
But being forgotten by the powerful does not mean that it will lose its prosperity. On the contrary, without the intervention of the top powerful, Longwei City's private commerce has experienced tremendous development, and gradually it has become a gathering place for small and medium-sized merchants.
It has a development path unique to it.
In the early morning of this day, before it was even bright, there was already a long queue outside Longwei City. Different from other large cities, which were dominated by large caravans, in the queue outside Longwei City, there were two ox carts carrying ten people.
A few bags of grain can be called a caravan. In front of and behind the car, the men who are the drivers and even the shopkeepers are whispering to each other, chatting with people they know and don't know about things all over the world, which villages and towns are from
The food harvest was good again, and the caravan there had lost several carts of cloth. It was lively and even a little noisy.
The gatekeepers were obviously used to such scenes. They just waited for the sun to rise, then opened the city gates and checked in and out. Soon all the cars and people started flowing.
Among the teams entering the city, there was an oxcart that stood out the most, because there were only a few bags of goods on the cart, but there was a woman wearing a flowered coat sitting on it. Even though there were several circles of wool around her head and neck, she was mostly beaten in the autumn wind for a long time.
The frivolous men were still happy to look at her figure and say some naughty things.
The woman didn't care. After the city gate opened, she kept urging the man driving the carriage to move forward.
After queuing up to pass the gate, they were inevitably grabbed several times by the soldiers. The woman did not say a word. After passing the city gate, the ox cart walked eastward along the city wall. When it reached the corner of the north city wall and the east city wall, the ox cart turned into the final corner.
There is a large courtyard at the side.
It was a house with high walls and a high courtyard. There was no garden pavilion in the house. There were courtyards within courtyards, all large and small houses. As soon as the oxcart entered the courtyard, the woman took off the woolen headband, revealing a
She is obviously very young, but looking at her very charming face is a kind of temptation that is difficult to describe in words. Even if I have seen the man driving the car a few times, when I look at her profile now, I can't help but be stunned.
.
"Watch your eyes," the woman said without turning her head. The man was immediately frightened and made the man kneel on the ground, kowtowing his head.
The woman snorted coldly and walked towards the depths of the house alone.
The house was very deep, but there were very few people there. Not to mention the master's house, there were very few servants and maids. The woman was not surprised. The winding road was like walking through a maze. The road was normal until she approached the door of a certain courtyard.
Stopping, the civet cat pressed its body against one side of the wall, and at some point, it held a silver-white dagger upside down in its hand, with a cold light flashing.
She clung to the wall and moved little by little to the door of the courtyard. She turned sideways to the door and looked inside. She couldn't help but be shocked. She saw bloodstains and corpses scattered everywhere in the small courtyard. And here,
There was a chair placed in the center of the messy and bloody courtyard, and a mysterious person dressed in men's clothing, but she could recognize it as a girl at a glance, was sitting on it, staring at her and smiling leisurely.
Behind the girl dressed in men's clothing, there stood quietly a tall figure covered in black tights. It was this figure that gave her an unprecedented sense of oppression. It was heavy, as if she was not facing a person, but
It's like a giant Nanyi monster!
What frightened and angered her even more was the person stepping under the feet of the man in black. The person's head and face were buried in the dust and couldn't be seen clearly, but just looking at the flowered coat and hair accessories on his head, she felt...
Knowing who that person was, she gritted her teeth and walked out from behind the wall, staring at the girl dressed in men's clothing with her charming eyes, and said sullenly, "Who are you? Why did you break into my stone mansion and kill my servant!"
"Of course you know very well why we are here.
"The girl dressed in men's clothing spoke, and it was indeed a clear and crisp girl's voice. The smile on her face was very clear, which was completely inconsistent with the appearance of this bloody courtyard. "We are just here to ask you a few small questions. As long as you are honest.
Once we get the answer, we will leave immediately."
The woman glanced at the man in black and then at the corpses scattered in the yard and said, "You are experts at killing. You killed so many people with one blow, but you made it so bloody. Naturally, you did it for me."
Look, after so much effort, I don’t believe you will let me go after you get the answer. Of course, you didn’t say you would let me go.”
The girl dressed in men's clothing clapped her hands in amazement, "Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a child trained by Zhen Geli's parents. He is able to face danger without fear at such a young age. Fortunately, I... also got a little excited."
"Pity," she stood up and gave a look to the tall man in black behind her. The latter hooked his feet and turned the woman under his feet over, revealing her somewhat dirty face and a slight smile.
Heaving chest.
"Look," the girl dressed in men's clothing pointed at the woman on the ground, and said to the woman who was still on guard not far away, "we didn't even kill your mother, so can you trust me a little bit?"
The woman didn't even look at the woman on the ground and said coldly, "What do you want to know?"
"It's very simple." The girl dressed in men's clothing put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in the courtyard, looking at the corpse on the ground as if it were nothing. "I want to know where Shitou'er, the shopkeeper of Anying Cloth Shop in Longwei City, is your father.
.”
The woman sneered, "Now that my mother and I are in your hands, if I tell you my father's whereabouts, how can we survive? Kill or behead them all as you please, I am determined to decide where my father is.
I won’t tell you.”
The girl dressed in men's clothing stared at the woman's face and suddenly smiled, "You really can't lie. In fact, neither you nor your mother know where your father is, right? What a pity," she pointed with a finger.
He pointed in the woman's direction and said, "Kill her!"
The tall man in black who was originally standing behind the girl dressed in men's clothing disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the woman. A dark dagger in his hand flashed and was already attached to the woman's fair neck!
"Ding Ding!!"
"Ding ding ding!!!"
Just when the dagger of the tall man in black was about to swipe across the woman's neck, a dark, almost inky blue light fell from the sky, and finally turned into an extremely small flying sword, suspended in front of the woman, and at the critical moment,
On this occasion, he blocked a fatal blow for her!!
The tall man in black returned to stand in front of the girl dressed in men's clothing, holding a dagger on guard. Behind the two of them, two more figures of men in black appeared.
The changes around her did not change the color of the girl dressed as a man at all.
She just raised her head, stared at the man falling from the sky, and murmured, "You are indeed here..."
