This alley was very narrow, and could only accommodate two people walking side by side. Several passers-by walked on the road, making the alley extremely crowded. Xu Ruyi pushed away the people blocking the way, lowered her head and walked quickly, as fast as running.
Not much different.
When Zhao Zheng chased him to the entrance of the alley, Xu Ruyi had already walked to the middle of the alley and was about to walk out. If Xu Ruyi escaped this time and went back to report to the other four ghosts, things would inevitably become more complicated.
He chased after him anxiously, like a gust of wind, passing by the passers-by on the road.
Passers-by were shaken by the strong wind and could not stand firmly. Some of the people who were unstable fell to the ground and cursed.
Zhao Zheng followed Xu Ruyi closely, constantly shortening the distance between them, and chased him out of the alley and onto a spacious stone road.
Xu Ruyi glanced back at Zhao Zheng not far behind her, her brows furrowed into knots, and she simply started running, no longer caring about the eyes of passers-by around her. She had the family's light skill "Ghost Shadow Trace" and ran with all her strength.
It was greatly improved, and it was really like a ghost, quickly fading in the crowd.
Zhao Zheng was forced to have no choice but to let go of his hands and feet and chase with all his strength. The Dantian in his abdomen was moving like Tai Chi Liangyi, and a surge of energy filled his body. He took one step forward and crossed two feet away. Outsiders
It seemed that he was teleporting. There happened to be a carriage walking alongside him, but he was left behind by a few steps. When pedestrians saw this scene, they pointed at Zhao Zheng who was walking away quickly, causing quite a stir.
commotion.
This road extended in all directions, leading to many small roads, and the terrain was complicated. Xu Ruyi ran a few steps, caught an opportunity when there were many people, and got into the alley again, but he could not escape Zhao Zheng's sharp eyes.
Got it clearly.
Zhao Zheng chased into the alley. At this time, he was only three feet away from Xu Ruyi, which was a big step away. He raised his palm, secretly channeled his inner strength into the palm of his hand, paused for a short breath, and then shot forward in an instant, palm
It hit the void, causing a muffled sound, and an internal force came out through the palm of the hand, heading towards Xu Ruyi in front.
He has worked hard on swordsmanship and has mastered everything. He has mastered the method of forcing the internal force out of the body, but it is not as refined as those warriors who specialize in palm skills. After the palm force is struck, it disperses in all directions, forming a wave.
An invisible air current blurred the path it passed, and finally hit Xu Ruyi on the back, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.
The power of this palm is limited, it can only knock Xu Ruyi down, but it will not cause any injuries.
Xu Ruyi shouted when she fell down, which attracted the attention of passers-by around her. Many people stopped to watch the excitement. When she saw this scene, she rolled her eyes, a light flashed in her smart eyes, and shouted: "It's so disrespectful."
! Indecent! He wants to molest me!" As he said that, he turned around and pointed at Zhao Zheng, who was chasing him, and put on an expression that was mixed with anxiety, grievance, and panic.
Zhao Zheng did not expect that Xu Ruyi would play such a trick. He was caught off guard and froze on the spot, stopping in his tracks.
When the people around him heard "indecent", they immediately cheered up and gathered around. Some of the angry young people even put on a posture of "drawing their swords to help when the road is rough".
Xu Ruyi wanted this effect, so she bit her lip lightly and squeezed out a few tears through the pain. Her acting skills were quite superb, and the actors in the teahouse were nothing more than that.
The current commotion is big enough. If it continues like this, people from the government and the Cao family will have to be attracted. By then, there will be no way to end it.
Zhao Zheng was in a dilemma and looked at Xu Ruyi. There was a cunning look in the latter's eyes, as well as an obvious alertness and hostility.
The crowd around them was getting closer and closer, and they were about to surround the two of them.
Zhao Zheng remained calm in the face of danger. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea to escape. Anyway, the situation was out of control now. It was better to make the chaos bigger and then take the opportunity to take Xu Ruyi away. He reached into his sleeve and took out the
He carried a stack of banknotes and a few broken pieces of silver, shook them at the surrounding crowd twice, and then sprinkled them into the sky.
"Whoever can pick up the money will belong to him."
As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately looked to the sky. The broken silver glowed with an attractive silver light, and the banknotes were marked with exciting numbers. Those with sharp eyes and quick hands immediately swarmed up and jumped high to catch them.
There were pieces of silver and banknotes, and the scene suddenly turned into a mess. Most people focused on robbing the money, and few paid any attention to Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi was shocked and turned pale. She opened her mouth to shout again, but before the words came out, her soft mouth was blocked by a strong hand. Then her back was numb and she felt sleepy.
Mind, unconscious.
Zhao Zheng subdued Xu Ruyi as fast as lightning, took advantage of the chaos and helped Xu Ruyi pass through the crowd, climbed over the wall and left the street.
The crowd was still trying hard to grab money, and some people even got into fights over it.
Zhao Zheng led Xu Ruyi over the wall and fell into a residential house. He did not continue to use Qinggong to move forward. It was not convenient to come and go in broad daylight, not to mention that he also brought a sleeping woman with him, which caused such a big mess.
, is bad enough.
He placed the female snitch next to the wall, and out of caution, he touched up the faint point to enhance the acupuncture effect. He bent down and walked in the courtyard, checked the situation of the residence, and found that there was no one in the courtyard. It should be
I went out to work during the day and felt relieved.
He went around to the back of the house, opened the system stable, and pulled out a black and white horse. He also opened the system warehouse and took out a rope and a sack. When he came back, he put Xu Ruyi into the sack.
, twisting it into a ball, so that the hands and feet are curled up together. This process inevitably involves some skin-to-skin contact, but in his heart he only regards Xu Ruyi as his opponent, and does not pay too much attention to these things.
He tied the mouth of the sack with a rope, lifted it up and put it on the horse's back, holding it steady with his hands. Then he walked to the door in a grand manner, drew his sword and swung it down, cut off the lock, and pushed the door open.
This place is not too far from the street where Zhao Zheng threw money. After hearing the news, many people rushed to that street to watch the excitement. The street became deserted, with few pedestrians and no one noticed Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng led the horse back to his temporary residence not far from Banshan Wugui's house, unloaded Xu Ruyi from the horse and carried her into the house. The girl weighed a hundred or so kilograms, so she was not too light.
But he lifted it effortlessly, like lifting a bag of light cotton.
He took Xu Ruyi out of the bag and tied it to the legs of the table. He also tied his hands and feet tightly. He then massaged the acupoints and spent a lot of effort to unlock the weak points on Xu Ruyi's body.
Xu Ruyi woke up leisurely, and a half-moon gaze appeared under her curved eyelashes. Her eyelids slowly raised, revealing a pair of smart eyes. After she saw Zhao Zheng clearly, she focused her eyes and immediately started to resist, but her hands and feet were blocked.
It was tied up and could only move around like a silkworm chrysalis.
Zhao Zheng had met Xu Ruyi on the street before, so he didn't bother to hide his true face. He said leisurely: "Don't waste your efforts. Your internal strength is not enough to break these ropes. Besides, I am here."
Here, it’s useless even if you break free, I can catch you once and I can catch you a second time.”
"What do you want to do if you catch me?" Xu Ruyi thought for a while, and as expected, she stopped struggling and asked calmly.
"I want to take back the imperial wine you stole from you and your family."
As soon as she heard the word "royal wine", Xu Ruyi's pupils immediately shrank by three points and her face became much whiter. Based on this performance, it was useless even if she denied it.
"How much do you know?" Xu Ruyi asked.
"A lot, just a little less than you know." Zhao Zheng stretched out his index finger and thumb and made a gesture.
"Are you from the Cao family?"
"no."
"Then you are from the government?"
"No."
"Then you are..."
"I am who I am. I don't belong to anyone or any force. You don't need to ask anymore. Besides, in this case, I should ask and you answer." Zhao Zheng stood up and pulled a chair over.
Sitting down comfortably in front of Xu Ruyi, he then asked, "Where did you, the Five Ghosts of Moving Mountains, and your family steal the royal wine and put it? Was it hidden under the courtyard where you were hiding?"
"No comment." Xu Ruyi knew that this matter was related to the lives of the whole family, so naturally it was impossible for her to tell the truth obediently.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I don't like to be rough with women and I won't torture you. Besides, I don't expect to get anything useful out of your mouth. I'll capture you. First,
In order to break your family's Five Ghost Killing Array, and secondly, to keep you as a hostage, as long as these two goals are achieved, it is enough."
"Do you even know about the Five Ghost Killing Formation?" Xu Ruyi's face became even more ugly.
"I just said, I know a lot."
Xu Ruyi looked at the seemingly harmless young man in front of her, and felt anxious in her heart. She felt an unprecedented crisis. The opponent was very powerful and knew their family well. He was really a difficult enemy. If things went wrong.
, their whole family had to fall into the hands of this young man in front of them.
"Young hero, please show your respect. For the sake of our family, we have seniors and juniors. Let us be spared. The little girl has nothing to repay. I am willing to work hard for the young hero in the next life." Xu Ruyi changed.
Strategy, Chu Chu begged pitifully.
"You know you are afraid now? But have you ever thought about what consequences will be brought to the Cao family after your family steals all the imperial wine? If the imperial wine is lost, the Cao family will be guilty of dereliction of duty. If the court traces it, all the Cao family will be
Everyone will suffer accordingly. Your family members include elders and younger ones, but the Cao family also has elders and children."
"What the young hero taught me is that I also advised my father and grandfather not to steal the royal wine of the Cao family, but they did not listen to my advice. If the young hero can let us go, I will definitely let the whole family wash their hands and correct their evil ways.
, I will never do such a shameful thing again." Xu Ruyi sobbed twice as she spoke, squeezing out two drops of crystal clear tears.
"Stop using the word chivalrous. I'm not worthy of this word yet. I have some selfish motives in tracking down this batch of royal wines, and it's not all for the Cao family. Otherwise, I could have informed the matter directly.
Cao family, let them deal with your family."
"Young hero, please don't do this. If our family falls into the hands of the Cao family, the Cao family will definitely not let us go easily if they are so angry... and may even kill us all." Xu Ruyi said here,
A chill ran down the originally smooth back, and little particles appeared.
Zhao Zheng stared at Xu Ruyi for a while, weighing how to deal with the Five Ghosts and their family, and came to a conclusion.
The Banshan Five Ghosts and their family are guilty, but the crime is not worthy of death. It would be too hasty and cruel to kill all the Banshan Five Ghosts because of the theft of alcohol, or hand them over directly to the Cao family. Not to mention the Banshan Five Ghosts.
There is also a child like Elf Gui in the Five Ghosts' family. Such children should be dealt with lightly even if they make any mistakes.
It would be best for this matter to have a happy outcome for everyone, not only allowing the Cao family to recover Yujiu, but also allowing the Five Ghosts to learn a small lesson.
Zhao Zheng made up his mind and promised: "Okay, I promise you that I will not hand your family over to the Cao family. However, I must recover Yujiu. This is related to the lives of the Cao family."
"Thank you for your kindness, young hero. Please let me go, young hero. I will go home and ask my family to hand over all the imperial wines." Xu Ruyi said, her worries turned into joy.
"Don't be ridiculous, how could I let you go? Don't think that I don't know how your family behaves. If I let you go, you will never go home and beg your family to hand over the imperial wine. Instead, you will unite with your family
Come and deal with me together." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Young hero is very skilled in martial arts, and he has a handle on our family. How dare our family go against you, young hero?"
"The handle in my hand is you. You are my biggest handle. I can't let you go unless I can get Yushu. Only then will I consider letting you go. Before that,
Don't waste your words." Zhao Zheng stood up from the chair, his eyes fell on Xu Ruyi from top to bottom, "You have been out for a long time. In order to avoid your family being suspicious, I can't delay any longer and have to get up now.
Let’s go. Just feel sorry for yourself and stay here to sleep for a while.”
"Are you going to deal with my family now?" Xu Ruyi's expression changed drastically.
"If I don't deal with your family, how can I get the royal wine? Just pray that your family will be more honest. If they agree to exchange the royal wine with you, I won't take action against them. If they don't know the truth, don't blame me for having no eyes on my sword.
Already."
Xu Ru thought again and again, biting her lips and said: "If this is the case, young hero, please take something off my body as a token. When they see that you have something on my body, they will not follow me again if they consider my safety."
You took action."
"I think so too." Zhao Zheng's eyes swept around Xu Ruyi's body, looking for a suitable token. This female snitch is quite slender, and her hands and ankles are very good-looking.
"I have a jade pendant around my neck that I have worn for many years. The young hero can keep that jade pendant as a token." Xu Ruyi felt uncomfortable and suggested.
Zhao Zheng looked at Xu Ruyi's neck. There was indeed a red line there, close to the skin, extending downward from the collar and submerging into the jade ditch. He stretched out his hand to pick it off, but retracted his hand halfway, shook his head and said:
"This jade pendant is something close to your body. If I reach out to take it, it will damage your innocence, so I'd better exchange it for another token."
Xu Ruyi lowered her head and glanced at her collar. The jade pendant was close to her breasts. If it fell into the hands of a man, there would be something wrong. She didn't think about this just now, but now that she thought about it carefully, two circles appeared on her face. Blushing.
"I still have a handkerchief in my pocket. Although I haven't used it for a long time, my family can recognize it." Xu Ruyi's voice dropped three points lower.
"I don't want the handkerchief anymore, I'm interested in another token of yours." Zhao Zheng's eyes fell on Xu Ruyi's face.
"What token?"
"The human skin mask on your face." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
