There is no moon in the sky, and the night is dark and windy.
A beautiful woman walked in a long alley, making lonely footsteps on the bluestone.
Scholar Ni refused in his heart, but he could not violate his host's fate, so he could only put himself in danger, hoping that the evildoers who kidnapped girls from good families would not target him.
Watching Scholar Ni disappear at the end, Jin Yiwei, who didn't know his identity, scratched his head and scratched his head.
"Boss, everyone is out of sight. If you don't follow me, you won't really be kidnapped." One of the subordinates said anxiously.
They fell far away from the mud scholar and slowly followed him here.
"Yes, boss, hurry up and catch up." Others also agreed, and without even waiting for Zhou Jiufeng's instructions, many people had already stepped out and made a running start.
That girl is so beautiful. If she is ruined by those evil people, they will never forgive herself.
"Calm down, just take him away." Zhou Jiufeng sat at the entrance of the alley and drank wine leisurely, "He was arrested today."
The subordinates looked at her in confusion, and one of them whispered: "Isn't the boss jealous?"
After thinking about it, this was the only reason. "It's possible, it's really scary for women to be jealous," the person next to me agreed.
"Don't think I can't hear it." Zhou Jiufeng hit the two of them on the head with the knife handle, "Would I be jealous of him? If you are jealous, it's your damn jealousy."
She threw away the empty wine jar in her hand and said, "That one is the subordinate of Alliance Leader Yu. Only if he is captured can we know where the abducted girls are."
When the subordinates heard this, they were all stunned, "A member of Alliance Leader Yu? He is too merciless."
Speaking of this, everyone remembered the rumors during the day, and they asked Zhou Jiufeng, "Boss, Leader Yu and City Lord, are they true?"
"That's right, isn't it because of his status as alliance leader that he deliberately bullies the city lord and makes him compromise?" asked another person.
"Bullying the city lord?" Zhou Jiufeng smiled, "It doesn't matter who bullies whom. When Alliance Leader Yu came to the city today, all the money for rewarding people was borrowed."
The matter between Yu Sheng and the city lord is now spreading throughout the city, how could Zhou Jiufeng not know about it.
She asked: "What do you think of the City Lord and Alliance Leader Yu being together?"
"As long as the city lord likes it, we think there's nothing wrong with it." Several Jinyi guards looked at each other and said in unison.
"It's a pity that the people in the city don't think so." Zhou Jiufeng sighed.
Many people in the city cannot accept their nephew being with their aunt, even if they are not close.
"Ah~"
A scream came from the alley, interrupting everyone's conversation. Jin Yiwei, who was worried about the city lord's life-long affairs just now, immediately clenched the knife in his hand.
"Wait a minute," Zhou Jiufeng stopped them, "Have you forgotten what I said? Let's just pretend and let him be taken away."
"Boss, I am a girl after all, if I suffer a loss..." Jin Yiwei couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, you may be the loser." Zhou Jiufeng picked up the sword and walked in slowly.
After Zhou Jiufeng entered the alley, a man who was hiding at a tea stall in the distance came out and frowned slightly as he looked at their disappearing figures.
"We have a title!" After thinking for a moment, the man clapped his hands and said happily.
He took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote on the paper: "Shocked. After hearing the woman's scream, the Jin Yiwei handled the case like this. No wonder the case has not been solved for a long time!"
After writing, the man nodded with satisfaction, "With the addition of the city lord and alliance leader's affairs, the first issue of Yangzhou Chao Bao has been fully packed and will definitely be a hit."
He put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, turned around and walked back, rubbing his stomach. His mind was filled with the copper coins that were constantly thrown at him after the newspaper sales.
"Hey, you haven't paid for my tea yet." The boy at the stall came out to stop him.
"You have the nerve to ask for tea money? The tea you poured for me was all broken leaves, and the tea was still cold." The man said angrily.
"It's almost midnight. Where can I go to prepare hot tea for you? I reminded you just now and you said you weren't picky." The boy refused.
"Let go, let go." He grabbed the boy's hand, but he was not as strong as the boy. "If you don't let go, I'll write bad things about you in the newspaper."
"When you drink someone's tea, you have to pay for it. It's a matter of course. If you don't pay, I'll beat you!" The boy was not easy to mess with and raised his fist.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you the money." The man said hurriedly, fearing that he would be hit with a fist.
He threw a few pennies to the boy, pulled back his sleeves, and said, "Humph, you will cry some time in the future." The man muttered and left.
"Who is he?" the boy muttered. "He owes someone money for tea and writes bad things about them. But what is ultra-thin?"
Zhou Jiufeng and the others walked slowly at first, but soon they heard something was wrong: there was the sound of fighting coming out of the alley.
"Don't hurt the people, hurry up." Zhou Jiufeng greeted, and a group of people quickened their pace and rushed over.
After turning a corner, they saw two men in ragged clothes carrying a sack and walking towards the end of the alley, leaving three men in ragged clothes behind.
Among them, one person stood behind and watched, and the two of them, one black and one white, trembled together, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
After hearing the footsteps of Zhou Jiufeng and others, the people who were standing and watching glanced at Zhou Jiufeng and others and then took action.
Zhou Jiufeng saw this man raise the wooden stick in his right hand, wave it lightly, and a huge palm appeared in the sky, and slapped the white figure.
Seeing this, the white figure was about to dodge, but her ankle was entangled by the silver threads shot out from the trembling man's wooden staff.
When the black figure saw this, his body turned into a puff of black smoke, and he broke away from the people behind him, like a sharp sword piercing the chest of the ragged man wrapped around the white figure.
"Bang", the body of the ragged man exploded directly. However, the white figure did not avoid it and was slapped firmly by the huge palm.
"Poof", the black figure turned into a human form and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Unlike the shadow of the sword in the rest of the day, which was a real thing, this huge palm was transformed by witchcraft, so it directly hurt her.
"Lord Yan City, we had no grudges in the past and have no grudges in the recent past. Since you have ruined our affairs, don't blame us for not cherishing our old friendship." The ragged man who made the move waved his hand.
"stop!"
Just as he was about to take action, there was a loud shout in the distance, and a bird transformed into silver light flew over Zhou Jiufeng and the others, and directly snatched the wooden stick from the ragged man's hand.
"Baicaotang?" The ragged man did not dare to fight, "Flee separately", he called to his men and withdrew from the alley without looking back.
Zhou Jiufeng had already seen their appearance clearly at this time.
These people were dressed in beggars' clothes, and what was different from ordinary beggars was that their eyes had all been gouged out.
Asking his men to give chase, Zhou Jiufeng supported the shadowed woman and said, "Girl, are you okay?"
The Lord Yan City, who had fought with Yu Sheng during the day, vomited another mouthful of blood and waved his hand to Zhou Jiufeng, "I'm fine, but he was kidnapped by people from Si Youcheng."
There were footsteps behind him, and the Siyous whom Zhou Jiufeng had met at the inn stepped forward.
"Those are the people from Siyou City's Kumu Hall." High Priest Baicao walked up to Yancheng, cupped his hands and said, "Although they have already betrayed Siyou City, Baicao is still here to apologize to the Lord of Yancheng."
"Withered Wood Hall?" City Lord Yan looked at Baicao panting, "The person who slaughtered a whole city?"
Just because the existence of this city affects the interests of Siyou City.
"Exactly." Baicao said, "Is City Lord Yan okay?"
"What do you think?" City Lord Yan smiled bitterly. Among the city lords in the Southern Wilderness, her martial arts was at the bottom, but her ability to escape was definitely at the top.
But what she fears most is the power of witchcraft, which can directly hurt her two puffs of smoke.
