From the looks of it, if this person dared to make any strange movements, he would be killed immediately, not giving him a chance to escape.
The person wrapped in the black cloak still had his head lowered. Perhaps affected by the threatening situation, his body trembled slightly, but he quickly steadied himself.
Kang glanced at 'Yun Zhiqiu' beside him, and slowly drew his sword. The group of people followed him with their weapons.
'Yun Zhiqiu' looked back at the weapon in Kang's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to be resentful, but he didn't stop and continued walking forward.
As they approached the tree, they opened up a path for the black-robed men and allowed Yun Zhiqiu to pass through. Kang Youyou, who was following behind them, made a hand signal, and several hundred men immediately moved to surround the area. Some even jumped onto the tree, making it difficult for those who were surrounded to escape.
'Yun Zhiqiu' walked up to the black-cloaked man and sighed softly. "Uncle."
"Sigh!" The black-cloaked man also sighed softly and took out a storage bracelet. "I won't congratulate you, and I can't bring myself to say it. After so many years, this is a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
'Yun Zhiqiu' pushed it back with one hand and shook his head. "Uncle, I can't accept it."
The black-cloaked man pushed it back again. "You deserve this after working hard for this family for so many years."
'Yun Zhiqiu' said, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but how can I remarry …" He pushed it back again.
The two of them pushed it back and forth. One wanted to give it away, and the other didn't want to accept it. Everyone looked at the storage bracelet, wondering how many things were in it.
Kang coughed behind 'Yun Zhiqiu'. "Shopkeeper, since it's a token of my appreciation, why don't you accept it?" He thought that the domain chief probably wanted to take both the person and the money by sending him out.
'Yun Zhiqiu' turned around and glared at him, then slapped the storage bracelet on the black-cloaked man's hand. "Uncle, I can't accept it."
The black-cloaked man held the storage bracelet and thought for a moment. "You've worked hard for this family for so many years. How can I let you leave empty-handed? How about this …" As he spoke, he invoked his arts and took something out of the storage bracelet.
However, to everyone's surprise … The man in black didn't take out any valuables, but he took out a sword and a dagger.
What was even more surprising was that the black-robed man took out his sword and pressed it against Yun Zhiqiu's neck, while the dagger was pressed against Yun Zhiqiu's stomach. In a flash, he had Yun Zhiqiu in his hands.
Holy shit! Kang's eyelids twitched. No one had expected this to happen. Everyone had only been on guard against Yun Zhiqiu being taken away. They hadn't expected her to be kidnapped.
The swords, spears, and arch-breaking bows around them tensed up and pointed at the black-clothed man. Kang brandished his sword and shouted, "Do you want to die? Release Shopkeeper Yun! "
The black-robed man withdrew his sword from Yun Zhiqiu's neck, revealing his aged face beneath the brim of his hat. His voice had also changed, becoming shrill. "Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll kill her! "
Kang was forced to take a step back subconsciously. Everyone looked at each other for fear of harming the innocent.
The expression of 'Yun Zhiqiu', who was being held hostage, changed drastically. He asked anxiously, "You're not my uncle. Who are you?"
The black-clothed man laughed shrilly. "I'm Jiang Yiyi!"
"Jiang Yiyi?" Everyone was shocked. Not long ago, there was a commotion in the city about the pervert Jiang Yiyi. They didn't expect him to appear here.
Kang was taken aback, but he quickly realized that something was amiss. He stared at 'Yun Zhiqiu' and chuckled coldly. "Innkeeper, aren't you being a little too ridiculous by trying to fool me with such tricks? I advise you to be more self-aware. Otherwise, if any of our brothers were to make a mistake, Lord Lieutenant would have no choice but to regret it."
'Yun Zhiqiu' cursed loudly. "Bullsh * t! You're blind, you dog. My uncle must have been harmed by him … Ah! "She suddenly let out a scream.
The black-clothed man holding her hostage had his sword around her neck, but the dagger pressed against her abdomen was lifted and plunged into her abdomen, causing blood to spurt out.
Kang and the others were shocked speechless by this scene. They had thought that 'Yun Zhiqiu' was playing tricks because she didn't want to marry him. Could this be a ruse?
The black-clothed man looked around and sneered. "You want to capture me? What haven't I seen before? If I die, I'll drag her down with me. Get out of my way! "
Kang gritted his teeth and slowly raised his hand, ready to attack. He said in a low voice, "Jiang Yiyi, let her go, and I'll let you go!"
"Do you think I'll believe you?" The black-clothed man laughed coldly. The dagger in 'Yun Zhiqiu's' abdomen moved, and 'Yun Zhiqiu' immediately looked like she was in extreme pain.
Kang immediately gritted his teeth. He really wanted to give the order to kill 'Yun Zhiqiu' as well. The slap he had received in public was a great humiliation. But with so many people watching, if he really did that, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the domain chief.
The black-clothed man looked around and didn't care if the people around him gave way or not. He took 'Yun Zhiqiu' into the sky and quickly flew away.
"After them!" Kang stomped his feet and waved his hand, leading his men to chase after the black-clothed man. At the same time, he urgently contacted the rest of the men in the city to come and help. Naturally, he couldn't avoid contacting the domain chief, Chu Zishan. Something had happened here!
Chu Zishan, the leader of the starry sky team, was having a sweet dream. When he suddenly heard the bad news, he was a little surprised and asked, "Did Manager Yun deliberately play tricks?"
Kang: "I had the same suspicions before, but … Manager Yun has already been stabbed a few times and could die at any time. It doesn't seem like it's fake, so I didn't dare to chase too closely!"
Indeed, when the black-clothed man saw that Kang and the others were too close, he stabbed 'Yun Zhiqiu' a few times in front of her with his dagger. Yun Zhiqiu's screams made the scalps of the people chasing after her go numb. They couldn't let her go either. If they chased too closely, they might kill that woman and not be able to explain to the domain chief later. They didn't dare to take the risk!
Chu Zishan was instantly enraged. He scolded, "Useless trash, you can't even handle such a small matter. What else can you do?"
Kang: "I'm incompetent. Please tell me what to do next."
Chu Zishan: "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her escape. Don't force the other party to perish together. I'll be there soon … If you really can't keep an eye on her, kill her!"
Kang: "I'm afraid of accidentally injuring Manager Yun."
Chu Zishan: "Try to stall for as long as you can until I arrive. If you really can't, you can't let her fall into the hands of the perverted Jiang Yiyi!"
It was obvious that if there was no other way, he would kill 'Yun Zhiqiu' as well. Chu Zishan felt his heart ache when he issued this order. He had been longing for that woman's flesh for a long time. Just as he was about to achieve his dream, that woman had fallen into the hands of the perverted Jiang Yiyi. At this point, he couldn't possibly let Jiang Yiyi take 'Yun Zhiqiu' away. With that perverted Jiang Yiyi's reputation, he didn't even need to think to know what would happen if she fell into his hands.
As for why Jiang Yiyi had his eyes on Yun Zhiqiu, it was also easy to guess. This was Jiang Yiyi's old habit of targeting the families of Celestial Court officials. It was probably because the news that he was about to marry Yun Zhiqiu had spread. How could he allow that perverted Jiang Yiyi to make a cuckold of himself? He couldn't afford to lose that face. If he could save her, then he would. If he couldn't, then he would be ruined. At his level, he couldn't become the laughing stock of the world for a woman who hadn't even entered his family yet.
Kang understood what he meant. "Yes!"
Actually, Kang wanted nothing more than to give the order to kill both Jiang Yiyi and 'Yun Zhiqiu' at once. However, there were too many people around. If he really did that, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Chu Zishan suddenly turned around and ordered, "Retreat! Move faster!"
The army of over ten thousand immediately retreated, abandoning their ostentatious display of honor. All the Golden Lotus cultivators had entered the beast sacks of the Colorful Lotus cultivators. Their numbers were greatly reduced, but their flying speed had suddenly increased!
At the same time, Chu Zishan, who was leading the army, issued orders to all the troops stationed in the Youding Region. He ordered them to seal off all entrances and exits of the Youding Region and mobilize the army to surround and intercept them.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
The carpenter of the Glorious Cloud Pavilion ran out from his shop. Seeing that the Heavenly Court troops monitoring the shop were gathering, he hurriedly asked, as if they were planning to retreat.
The general in charge raised his head and looked at the signboard of the Glorious Cloud Pavilion. The Lady Boss had already been kidnapped, so there was no point in keeping watch over the hostages. He scoffed and said, "What else can we do? Save them! Your shopkeeper has been kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi outside the city! "He turned around and waved his hand at his troops, then shouted," Let's go! "
Hundreds of people quickly rose into the air and flew towards the city gates.
"Ah …" The carpenter was stunned. He quickly returned to the shop and said to Old Fan and the others, "The Lady Boss has fallen into Jiang Yiyi's hands. Hurry up and save her! Old Fan, your cultivation is higher. Why don't you hurry up and leave first! "
Old Fan and the others panicked when they heard this. They didn't even need to think to know what would happen to the Lady Boss if she fell into the hands of the perverted Jiang Yiyi.
"Where did she go?" Old Fan dashed to the carpenter's side and asked him where the guards had gone. After all, he didn't know which direction 'Yun Zhiqiu' had gone, so he could only follow the Heavenly Court's troops.
"Stop right there!" A crisp voice came from the back hall. Everyone looked over and saw Qian 'Er slowly walking out from the back hall.
The carpenter hurriedly reported, "Elder Auntie, the Lady Boss has been kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi outside the city!"
Qian 'Er calmly walked past them to the entrance of the shop and looked outside. Then, she turned back and asked, "Have the guards outside all left?"
The carpenter nodded. "They've all left. Elder Auntie, you stay here. Old Fan and I …"
"You guys, follow me!" Qian 'Er's tone was calm as she walked inside unhurriedly.
The carpenter and the others were stunned. They sensed that something was wrong. The Lady Boss had been kidnapped. She shouldn't be so calm. They looked at each other and followed her with anxious and suspicious expressions.
When they arrived at the backyard, they went upstairs and entered Yun Zhiqiu's Paradise. They were all dumbfounded when they entered. Yun Zhiqiu was sitting peacefully in the pavilion, flipping through an ancient scroll. His expression was calm and serene, and he didn't panic in the face of chaos.
Qian 'Er entered the pavilion and leaned over Yun Zhiqiu's shoulder. Yun Zhiqiu frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he nodded and turned to the others. He sighed softly and said, "Alright! Everyone saw that I wasn't the one who was kidnapped. There's no need to panic. Go and do what you need to do. "
