It's a cloudy day tonight, and the clouds cover the light of the stars and the moon.
In front of the pawnshop in Baiyang Lane, there was an unusual carriage parked. There were eight people standing under the carriage, their hands on the knives hanging on their waists, and they were looking around vigilantly.
After the drum beat at Haishi, King Qi'an's voice came from the carriage.
"Coming?"
"When I returned to His Highness, there was no trace." The person outside the car replied.
King Qi'an snorted impatiently: "You must have been deceived by that old man, right?"
"Go back to Your Highness, don't think about it. He has taken our money. If he doesn't do something, he won't be able to explain it." The person outside the car said again.
"Hmph, it is said that everyone in Xiao Muting's house is loyal. They are not just that old guy, they just follow orders. If there is anything difficult to explain, don't really trick me." King Qi'an's voice became colder.
.
The person outside the car immediately replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, if that old guy really dares to do this, my slaves will make his life worse than death and kill his whole family."
At this moment, someone reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, someone is here."
Through a dim light at the street entrance, you can see a stooped man turning into the alley.
King Qi'an also raised the curtain of the car and looked at it. The man's walking posture was a bit strange, a bit too stiff and uncoordinated.
"Is it him?" King Qi'an asked the person under the car uncertainly.
"Back to Your Highness, it should be..." Those few people were not sure.
It's really too dark here to see clearly.
Just when they were all staring at the person approaching, suddenly the person staggered, fell to the ground, and then...
Gone!
Several people were stunned for a moment. Maybe they were dazzled. Some people rubbed their eyes and looked towards the alley. There was no one there.
Everyone's hearts started to feel hairy, and at the same time they seemed to feel a surge of chill.
King Qi'an frowned, swallowed nervously, and tapped the platform: "Why don't you go back first! Send someone to wait here."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the person under the car replied.
But just when he was about to lower the car curtain, he suddenly saw another person carrying a lantern walking in the street.
He immediately stopped and stretched his head forward to look: "This time, right?"
But no one in the car answered him, because these people were also watching.
The man holding the lantern walked very slowly, his steps were a bit staggering, and the lantern in his hand was not very stable. It was swinging back and forth, making his shadow appear farther and closer, longer and shorter, which was particularly strange.
.
King Qi'an was a little scared. He immediately said to the people under the car: "Here, what is going on? Send someone to take a look."
"Yes, Your Highness." The person in the car responded, and immediately sent a man to run towards the man with a knife in hand.
But as soon as he got closer, he heard the man running past scream in surprise and immediately sat on the ground.
And the person carrying the lantern suddenly dropped the lantern in his hand to the ground. The originally orange light suddenly turned blue-white the moment it landed.
The man who was sent yelled, got up and ran back, looking back while running.
The blue-white lantern ignited a fire. When the lantern was burned, it also jumped out and hovered there for a long time.
The man ran back in panic and pointed to the alley: "Ghost... there is a ghost..."
In fact, right now, he is not shouting, but this scene has made the people standing here change their faces with fear.
King Qi'an has always been pampered and pampered. Never having seen anything like this, he was so frightened that he lost his mind. Now he only has one thought, which is to run, run home, and hide.
But just after the man finished shouting, there were a lot more green-white fires in the alley ahead, emerging from nowhere and gradually approaching them.
And at this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew, and it felt like something was rushing from behind.
Someone looked back and immediately exclaimed. When everyone turned to look at the end of the alley, they saw a blue-white will-o'-the-wisp rising over there, and among the will-o'-the-wisps, there seemed to be a tall black shadow, coming towards them.
Come closer.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky suddenly opened a gap, and the moon emerged from the clouds.
When a ray of moonlight shone down, these people could see the tall black shadow clearly.
"No... no, no headless... headless ghost..." someone shouted in surprise.
"Here, this way, coming over too..." someone shouted again.
King Qi'an stretched his head out of the car window and looked left and right. His face turned pale with fright. When he quickly pulled his head back, he hit the car window.
He ignored the pain and immediately shouted: "Go, go quickly, get out of here...quickly..."
But the people under the car were so frightened that they lost their minds. Many people heard this shout. Everyone was already panicking. When he screamed again, they became even more panicked. Some bumped into each other, and some fell to the ground.
, it became a mess.
But when they were about to lead the carriage away, two white shadows quickly passed in front of them.
Screams rang out again, someone had already drawn a knife and started slashing, and someone screamed in pain.
At this time, a low, distant, and eerie voice came from the alley: "Ignorant young man... dare to try to seize the divine object... I don't know whether to live or die... Give me back my scales... Otherwise, I will die..."
"Ah..." King Qi'an held his head in his hands, lay in the carriage, and cried.
"I didn't take anything from you... I didn't see anything..." His voice was loud, as if he was roaring, but he could also hear the cry.
"You dare to claim the title of king in front of me... You really don't want to live anymore... Just die..." The voice sounded again.
At the same time, a gentle smoke rose from here, whitely covering the place with a layer of mysterious and gloomy atmosphere.
"I don't dare...I don't dare anymore...Your Majesty, please spare my life..." King Qi'an cried loudly.
The voice sounded again, and it was surrounding the carriage: "Disrespecting elders...stealing other people's property...harming people's lives...there are many crimes...death is not a pity..."
"No, no no... I don't dare anymore... I don't dare anymore... Just spare me..."
The eerie voice suddenly appeared beside his carriage: "No mercy! You are dead!"
King Qi'an's whole body froze, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
The bold ones under the car were waving their swords in the white smoke and kept shouting: "I'll chop you to death!"
The timid one was already lying on the ground, his whole body was shaking violently, and he kept shouting: "Spare my life..."
At this time, someone saw a man standing in the smoke, with his hands behind his back, like a god.
Just when they were in a daze, their vision suddenly went dark.
Then I heard several falling sounds.
After the smoke here dissipated, the entire alley became extremely quiet. There was no one left, not even the carriage from before.
