Nangong Xue snorted and sourly said, "That's the girl who paid for him. I told you she wasn't from a good family, but you didn't believe me. "Li Yijie said," She must have her own difficulties. "Nangong Xue pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. She saw Li Yijie praising Yun 'er and showing his admiration for her, so she wasn't happy. Seeing Yun' er in trouble, she thought she deserved it.
After this commotion, Agarwood Courtyard became very noisy. The proprietress, Madame Ruhua, also came out of the side room and coldly said, "Who dares to cause trouble here?" The servant girl acted as if she saw her savior and hurriedly rushed forward and reported in a low voice, "Madame, that gongzi wants Miss Yun to sing. He also said … he also said …" Yun 'er cried, "Madame, I don't want to go with him. Please save me!"
Madame Ruhua sighed inwardly. An overly beautiful girl could bring a lot of business to the venue, but at the same time, it also brought a lot of trouble. She was someone who opened a shop to make a living, so she tried to keep the peace. She sighed and said, "Gongzi, Miss Yun said she only sells her art and not her body. She only sings one song a day. The guests below the stage can be considered to be supporting her, so she can do as she pleases. "
The man sneered and said, "I won't support her, I must let her know her own weight! A prostitute wants to overturn the heavens? In the future, she'll still benefit others, yet she wants to set up some stinky rule to protect her body! " He took out two gold ingots from his pocket and casually weighed them in his hand. He smiled and said, "Mama, as long as you're willing to let Miss Yun accompany me tonight, these two gold ingots will belong to you. Miss Yun's reward will also be calculated separately. What do you think? "
Madame Ruhua was a money-minded person and immediately took the gold ingots with both hands. She beamed with joy and said, "Whatever gongzi says. Yun 'er, go with him and listen to gongzi. "Yun' er opened her eyes wide and said," You … how can you do this? You promised me that as long as I can increase the number of customers, you can follow my rules when it comes to performances! " Madam Ru Hua did not say anything else. She slapped Yun-er and shouted: "Who do you think you are? Do you have the final say in Agarwood Courtyard or am I the one who has the final say? Do you think you can climb over my head just because you can sing a few songs? "
The servant girl was scared silly, she gently pulled Madame Ruhua's sleeve and said, "Madame, this Miss Yun is our Agarwood Courtyard's brand, you must not hit her!" Madame Ruhua angrily said, "What brand? Only those that can make me money are my signboards. Yun 'er, you had nowhere else to go that day. If it wasn't for me taking you in, you would have starved to death on the streets. How could you be where you are today? Don't you know how to be grateful? " Yun-er cried, "That was all because you forced me. I … in broad daylight, is there no law?"
With a cold laugh the man said, "Law?" He had not finished speaking when suddenly he felt a palm pressed down on his shoulder and said, "Laozi is the law!" The voice was extremely arrogant; it was none other than Li Yijie. The man said angrily, "What are you doing? You dare to meddle in laozi's business? Why don't you ask who laozi is? If I tell you, you will be scared to death! "Li Yijie laughed and said," Very well, come and scare me. The one who falls first is not a hero. "
The man angrily said, "Laozi is an escort of Changzhou Jianye Escort Agency. Are you scared?" Li Yijie laughed and said, "I thought you were an escort. My apologies, my apologies, my apologies … "Suddenly he changed the topic and with a serious expression he said," Too bad I don't buy it. Even if you are the Zong Escort Chief, I am not scared of you. "The man angrily said," I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! "While saying that he turned around and waved his arm to parry, followed by a punch toward Li Yijie. Li Yijie's left hand drew a semicircle and caught the man's arm. His right fist struck the man's face, sending him tumbling backward.
The girls in the hall made a big fuss, running to the east and running to the west in panic. Li Yijie took advantage of the chaos to pull Yun 'er and said, "Miss, let's go quickly!" Yun' er was startled, her arm was pulled by Li Yijie and she followed behind him. The two of them had just reached the door when they saw a row of men with sticks blocking the way. Madame Ruhua's cold laughter was heard behind them, "Do you think Agarwood Courtyard is a place where you can come and go as you please? You want to take my girls away, but you didn't even give me a heads up. You really don't have the least bit of respect for me, Madame Ruhua. "
Li Yijie turned around and angrily said, "When have you ever respected her? I don't want to cause trouble. Tell your men to withdraw, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite. "With a cold laugh Madame Ruhua said," Very well, let's see if you have the ability to do so! Do it! "The group of servants immediately narrowed the encirclement, trapping Li Yijie and Yun 'er in the middle.
Li Yijie said, "Miss Yun, be careful, don't let them hurt you!" Yun 'er nodded slightly. Li Yijie lowered his right shoulder slightly, his left foot kicked one of the men's chin, sending him flying with his stick. The man screamed miserably and with a 'bang' he smashed the table. The young servant girl helped Madame Ruhua to avoid the splinters. Madame Ruhua was so angry that she couldn't stop gasping for breath.
Li Yijie turned around, his left arm parried the incoming stick, and seized the opportunity to snatch it away. He made a feint chop in the air to divert everyone's attention. Then he shifted his weight to his left foot and swept his right foot across the lower half of the enemy's body. The group of people lost their balance and fell to the ground. In just a short moment, the group of people had been beaten to a pulp. Li Yijie pulled Yun 'er and said, "Let's go!" Then he quickly ran out. Nangong Xue called out, "Shixiong!" Li Yijie's heart was completely focused on Yun 'er, unexpectedly he turned a deaf ear. Nangong Xue stamped her feet and hurriedly chased after them.
Chu Menglin looked at the mess in the hall, crossed his arms and sneered, "Those two went off to enjoy themselves, but we have to clean up the mess." Jiang Liechen said, "Who can you blame for making bad friends?" Chu Menglin was displeased, "I don't care! I'm afraid that Madame Ruhua is going to ask for a sky-high price for our compensation. She's going to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit. "
Madame Ruhua calmed down, thinking that her people were not able to deal with that meddlesome youngster. She was afraid that from now on she would lose Yun 'er, her trump card. She was an extremely astute businesswoman, in this kind of situation, if she could minimize her losses, she would be able to make a profit. She crossed her arms and sneered, "Looks like Miss is also a sensible person. You came to my place to make trouble and took away my money tree, one hundred thousand taels of gold, not one tael less. Otherwise, I'll arrest you and report you to the government! "
The group of servants also struggled to stand up, assuming a fighting stance. Little did they know that these two people were displaying their slight skill in front of an expert. Jiang Liechen sneered slightly, took out a black object from his waist, flicked it with his index finger, and threw it into the air. It looked like an iron tablet. Everyone looked up at the spinning object, Jiang Liechen coldly said, "A tall tree attracts the wind, I think you don't want to repeat Shadowless Mountain Villa's mistake." As soon as he finished speaking, the object fell from the air between Jiang Liechen's two open fingers. Everyone saw that the object was charred black, with the words' Sacrifice Shadow Sect, Wulin Supreme 'engraved on it. It was so bright red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.
Madame Ruhua was so scared that her face turned white, her previous arrogance completely disappeared. She stammered, "You … you are …" The man who was knocked down to the ground by Li Yijie, who called himself the Jianye Escort Master, blurted out, "You are from the Sacrifice Shadow Sect? This time you want to steal the goods? "Jiang Liechen cast a sidelong glance at him and said," What goods are you talking about? "The man was about to answer when a dagger flew out from the darkness like lightning and pierced the man's heart. The man's whole body twitched violently, and before he could even make a sound, he died.
Chu Menglin angrily said, "Someone dared to provoke us in front of us, and you didn't teach him a lesson? What about our face? "Jiang Liechen disdainfully said," You're acting like someone who has never seen the world! Humph, can't you see that this is murder? That goods must be extremely important, who knows … "
Chu Menglin thought for a moment and vaguely guessed what was going on. He said, "Just now this person mentioned the Jianye Escort Master, so naturally the goods will be escorted by them." He paused for a moment and swept his gaze over the hall. Then he said without a care in the world, "Just kill all these people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Madame Ruhua fell to her knees and repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "We beg Miss to be merciful and spare our lives. This lowly concubine has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Even if we had more guts, this servant would not dare to go to the authorities and reveal the two heroes' whereabouts!" Chu Menglin coldly laughed and said, "Our Sacrifice Shadow Sect has not been established in a day or two, what can the authorities do to us?" Madame Ruhua continued to kowtow like she was pounding garlic. "Yes! Yes! We beg Miss to spare our lives! "
On the other side, Li Yijie had already brought Yun 'er into the inn. Along the way, the two of them did not speak much. After they were seated, Yun 'er looked up with her watery eyes and sized up Li Yijie's face for a moment. Then she lowered her eyelids and softly said, "Thank you very much, Gongzi." Li Yijie said, "Seeing injustice on the road, I draw my sword to help. Besides, you've helped me before. "Yun 'er was surprised," Isn't this the first time Yun' er and Gongzi have met today? Why do you say that? "
Nangong Xue had already entered the room in large strides. She casually picked up the tea on the table and drank it. Then she coldly laughed and said, "That day when his money pouch was stolen, it was you who helped him out. So it turns out you don't remember. He's been thinking about it all this time. "Yun 'er lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she said," Oh, that's right. It's just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning. "Nangong Xue coldly laughed and said," It's a small matter to you, but to him, it's not that simple. "
Li Yijie's face reddened slightly. She wanted to change the subject, so she said, "The last time I met Miss, I remember you had a servant girl with you. How come she's not here now?" Yun 'er said, "Are you talking about Xiao Ping? Xiao Ping, she … "Her voice was choked with sobs, her expression was miserable.
This Yun 'er was the Eldest Miss of the Shen family, Shen Shiyun, who had escaped from the secret passage. That day Xiao Ping carried her out of the manor, but she was worried about the safety of her father and her uncles. After she woke up, she was anxious to return to the manor. Her body was already very weak. Being surrounded by broken bricks and tiles, she felt mentally and physically exhausted. She could not hold on any longer and fainted. Xiao Ping also found out that Shadowless Manor was completely destroyed and would not be able to make a comeback. She sighed and thought that even if she took care of Shen Shiyun, she would not be able to get even half a tael of profit. So she sold her to Agarwood Courtyard, took her money, and quietly left.
Perhaps some people were born poor, so even if they received a windfall from the sky, they would not be able to use it. Xiao Ping was attacked by desert bandits when she was crossing the desert. She was hacked to death and her money was also taken away. The desert bandits were rampant, they repeatedly committed crimes, but the money was not recovered. It could be said that this was a big case in recent days. While she was playing the guqin at Agarwood Courtyard, she overheard the guests talking about this matter. She could not help but feel sad. She felt that her life was like grass. In just a few days she had lost many important people in her life. As for how she was going to go in the future, it was a vast unknown.
When Shen Shiyun narrated her story, she omitted the part about her family being wiped out. She only said that she had escaped from a famine. Li Yijie heard this and sighed incessantly. She sighed and said, "Xiao Ping was your personal servant girl, but she was so despicable. She destroyed her conscience. She deserved to die. But she died so miserably. Those desert bandits were also abominable! " He saw Shen Shiyun's unhappy expression and knew that she still cared about that relationship, so he hurriedly added the last sentence. He also said, "Just now at Agarwood Courtyard, you can't go back there. Besides, I don't want you to continue to stay in … that kind of place. Miss Yun, what are your plans for the future? "
