"You four, escort the two girls and leave. We'll take care of this!"
The leader turned around and ordered. Suddenly, a "xiu" sound came from the air. He staggered and covered his shoulder. He immediately said, "There are archers on the other side, quickly dodge!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
…
However, his warning was a little too late. After a few sounds, three more people were shot. Fortunately, the wounds were not fatal. Their expressions changed. One of them immediately took out a bamboo tube and lit it without hesitation.
A dazzling white light suddenly lit up from his hand and exploded in the night sky.
"Move quickly! Catch the two women. Kill the others! "
A low voice finally came from the depths of the alley, and more than ten people walked out from it.
In the deepest part of the alley, a masked young man smiled coldly.
…
…
"Did you go out with them again yesterday?"
Ceng Shichun asked his son as soon as the banquet ended.
Ceng Zijian nodded and said, "Yes, I just went out for dinner."
"Don't hang out with them in the future." Ceng Shichun frowned and said, "When the king of Shu gains power in the future, he can get you an official position in the court. Keep your spirits up. Don't hang out with those people all day and give up on yourself."
"I know." Ceng Zijian nodded and said.
Not long after, Ceng Zijian looked at his father's back with a trace of sarcasm on his face.
Ever since he broke a leg and almost died, Li Jianren's temperament had changed drastically. Even the few people who were close to him had gradually distanced themselves from him.
This time, after Li Yi disappeared, he had said many times that he wanted to take revenge for the humiliation he had suffered in the past. He knew that the two women were protected by experts, and this was not a small matter at all. He had made ample preparations.
He had even gone there personally to witness that scene with his own eyes. Now, he had probably succeeded, right?
"Zeng Zuimo?"
In the entire Zeng family, only his father thought so. Zeng Zijian's mouth twitched, and he got up to walk to his room.
He would get news of Li Jianren by tomorrow night at the latest.
…
…
Dazzling fireworks exploded in the night sky. Within a few breaths, the nearest brothels were quickly lit up.
However, it was too late.
"The arrow is poisoned …"
The four people who were shot were lying on the ground, their faces pale. The other four were protecting the two women behind them. When they saw the dozen people walking out of the alley, their faces turned ugly.
"Who are you people?" The leader of the group asked coldly.
"Don't let him stall for time," the leader of the opposing side said calmly. "Kill!"
He didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. The man's face completely darkened as he said, "Ladies, we can only hold them off for a while. You two run quickly to the nearest brothel!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.
The signal had already been sent. As long as they could buy some time for reinforcements to arrive, these people would no longer be a threat …
The other three glanced at each other before pouncing forward one after another.
Although Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo looked anxious, they also knew that the two of them would only be a burden here. They quickly turned around and ran back.
How could the opposing side let the two of them go? Immediately, four people quickly chased after them.
The few men were entangled and could only watch helplessly as they passed by them.
"Let's see where you can run to!"
The four people walked side by side. When they passed a certain street corner, a sneer appeared on their faces.
However, at this street corner, a blade suddenly flashed, and four heads rolled to the ground.
"Disrespecting the Queen, you deserve to die!"
A figure walked out from behind with a bloody long blade in his hand and said coldly.
More and more figures walked out from behind him and turned their heads at the same time, looking at the deep alley not far ahead.
…
"Why haven't they come back yet?"
Seeing that the four people who were not afraid of death actually stopped everyone, and there was still no news of the four people who had just left, the leader finally frowned.
The four of them all had extraordinary skills, but it took them such a long time to deal with two weak women. If they delayed any longer, the situation might change. The man was about to open his mouth to adjust his plan, but at some point, he saw many figures rushing over from the opposite side. His expression finally changed.
"They're finally here!" The eyes of the four big men lit up, and they no longer continued to fight. They quickly retreated to the back and said to the figures, "These brothers are injured. We'll take them to find a doctor first. I'll leave this to you!"
After saying that, they quickly carried the four people on the ground and went to the nearest clinic.
…
"Ladies, there, there's nothing here?"
After a while, a man held a torch in his hand and looked around. Except for the blood on the ground, there was no one at all.
"It was clearly here just now. They, they just told us to go first …" Wan Ruoqing walked over, and after looking around, her face showed an anxious expression.
"It's impossible …" The man also looked puzzled.
At this moment, a man covered in blood ran over from afar and asked, "It's all thanks to you. Are the two ladies alright?"
"Where are the others?" Wan Ruoqing hurriedly walked over and asked, "How are your injuries?"
"They're all in the clinic in front." Seeing that the two of them were safe, the man let out a long sigh of relief and said, "They're all superficial wounds, it's not a big deal. Just now, thanks to these brothers who arrived in time, otherwise, I might really lose my life here today."
"Which brothers?"
The man opposite asked with a puzzled expression, "What happened just now?"
"Weren't you the ones who rushed over just now?" The man asked with a puzzled expression.
…
Not far from here, in a hidden courtyard.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?" More than ten people were tied up and kneeling in the courtyard. A young man pulled the black cloth off one of their faces and asked slowly.
The man sneered, clenched his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it, I advise you …"
With a flash of saber light, a head flew up and rolled not far away. The headless corpse fell to the ground.
The young man walked down to the next one.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
Seeing his companion's head separated from his body, the man's complexion changed. He said, "You had better not …"
With another flash of saber light, the young man walked in front of the third person. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
The black-clothed man pointed at the last person and said with a trembling voice, "It, it was Li Li, it was young master Li Jianren, I beg you, I beg you, don't kill me!"
"Disrespecting the Heavenly Empress, you all deserve to die!" The young man took a step back and waved his hand. In an instant, several saber lights appeared in the courtyard.
The young man walked to the last black-clothed man in the courtyard and slowly said, "Now, it's your turn."
The figure's body was already trembling like a sieve. He said, "You, you dare kill me? My father is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, you, you can't kill me!"
"Young master, assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, I've offended you."
The young man looked at him without any emotion in his eyes.
In the next moment, there was the sound of a saber cutting into flesh.
Li Jianren's eyes suddenly widened and then he did not close them again.
