The night in Tanzhou is beautiful, the stars twinkle in the sky, and the bustling crowd on the ground reflects each other, adding a touch of tranquility compared to the day.

The two of them strolled down the street, melodious as ever, curious about everything, and the two walked and walked freely.

Suddenly, a woman sprang out from the corner of the street, covered in wounds and a wolf.

Li Ke subconsciously clenched his melodious hand.

"Help, help!" The woman ran and cried, followed by five or six men with clubs in their hands, apparently due to their injuries.

"Your Highness, let's save her." Seeing this scene, Melodious Yang was a little unbearable, so he begged Li Ke for help.

Li Ke is obviously more melodious and rational, he quickly judged the truth of the matter, if this was a scene played by someone else, then he fell into the trap.

He himself is okay to say, the worst can save his whole body, and now the situation is different, he can't let Melodious fall into danger again.

"Your Highness, come on, that woman has already fallen to the ground, I'm afraid it's too late if you don't do it again." Melodious saw the woman being besieged, and was very anxious.

Li Ke stood on tiptoe and jumped two times in a row to the woman's side, and one kicked down the man who was waving a stick at the woman.

As soon as a few people saw that there was a nosyman, they no longer paid attention to the woman on the ground, and all of them attacked Li Ke. Several people were menacing, and each of them was burly, which made Melodious break out in a cold sweat, and his heart jumped to his throat. I saw Li Ke kick down several men in front of him with a whirlwind leg, and quickly turned around and pinched the neck of the man who attacked behind.

"Uncle, spare your life!" The choked man begged for mercy.

At this moment, a man who had been kicked to the ground quickly got up, with an extra sharp knife in his hand at some point, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if he was about to disembowel the other party.

Li Ke quickly let go of the man's neck, turned around and kicked the knife-wielding man's chest, grabbed the man's arm with his hand, and the sharp knife in the hand of a forceful man fell in response, and the sound of bones breaking was very clear.

Seeing that they were no match for the comer, several men had no choice but to leave the woman and flee.

Melodious saw that the enemy had run away, so he quickly ran to the woman, helped the woman up, and asked. "Girl, how are you?"

"Thank you to the son and the young lady for saving me, the little girl is out of the way." The woman choked up, and as she spoke, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Melodious Yang and Li Ke.

Melodious hurriedly stopped, said. "If you have a wound, don't move! Where is your home, and why are they arresting you? ”

"My home is not here...... I was ......," the woman said, and began to cry again.

Li Ke saw that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and glanced at the woman, who was indeed a little girl who did not understand martial arts, so he let down his guard. "Bring her back first."

Melodious helped the woman back to the inn, and Tong'er immediately greeted her. "Princess, what happened?"

Melodious handed the woman to Tong'er, shook off the tired sore shoulder, and said. "Tong'er, you take this girl to clean up, and then call the doctor to take a look at her."

"Your Highness, why don't you go out and tell your subordinates, what if there is danger?" Flame stepped forward and saw that Li Ke and the two were all well before he spoke.

Melodious Seeing that Flame is also a handsome guy, but this iceberg face has not changed for thousands of years, she can't help but wonder, why are Li Ke's subordinates all cold type? Tong Xue is like this, and so is Flame, is the character of this subordinate also following the master?

She didn't dare to ask this, so she had to quip. "Handsome guy, don't you know that your Royal Highness's fist and foot kung fu is first-class?"

Li Ke frowned, and when he saw that he was blatantly teasing other men, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said coldly. "Dirty, are you going to die?"

Melodiously looking at her clothes, a little bit of blood mixed with dirt, must have been rubbed when she helped the woman, she had nothing to refute, so she had to hold her mouth and go back to the room.

When she returned to the room, she wanted to take a bath, but Tong'er went to help, and the other maids were arranged in another inn, and there was no one next to her to take a bath. It is said that it is difficult to be frugal from luxury, it seems that there is still some truth in this, since she came to ancient times, she has been accustomed to being served, and people are becoming more and more lazy, she simply dispelled the idea of taking a bath, and changed into a goose-yellow floor-to-ceiling smoke gauze skirt and went out of the room.

The room they lived in belonged to the upper room, in the backyard of the inn, a separate two-story building, with a square hall in the middle of the first floor, and all the guest rooms on both sides and upstairs.

Today, this inn is packed, so that melodious can move around at will, if you live in an ordinary inn, you have to avoid a room how can it be so casual.

When Melodious arrived at the square hall, Li Ke sat on a chair and drank tea, and the housekeeper and Flame were discussing something on the side.

At this time, Tong'er helped the woman to come out, and the woman knelt on the ground when she saw Li Ke and Melodious. "The little woman Qiu Ju thanked the son and the young lady for their great kindness!"

Seeing that Li Ke was still drinking tea leisurely, he had to ask the doubts in his heart in person. "It's just a gesture, but who are those people, and why are they chasing you?"

"Miss doesn't know, they are all from Qingwan Building, and I ran out of Qingwan Building." Qiu Ju wept as she spoke.

There is a beautiful person, pure and graceful, listening to this name should be a poetic place, how can there be such a wicked person?

Melodious asked suspiciously. "What kind of place is Qingwan Building?"

Qiu Ju gritted her teeth and said. "Qingwanlou is the largest brothel in Tanzhou."

"I am a peasant girl, living in Xiangtan, a month ago I went to the street with my mother to buy vegetables, suddenly a carriage rushed out of the street, and my mother was unfortunately knocked to the ground. At that time, I didn't know that the carriage belonged to the Liang family, so I wanted to theorize, but the brute of the Liang family became ill-intentioned towards me, and ordered the family to forcibly drag me into the carriage, and no one on the street dared to stop me, so I could only be pressed in the carriage to see my mother who fell to the ground getting farther and farther away from me. Qiu Ju couldn't help but cry.

Melodious asked again. "Then how did you come to Tanzhou? How did you get to Qingwan Building again? ”

Qiu Ju picked up a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and continued. "That brute is from Tanzhou, I went to Tanzhou with the carriage, I was insulted by the brute and then rewarded to the entourage, I was beaten half to death by them, if I didn't worry about my mother, I would have ended my life. Later, they sold me to Qingwan Building, where the old bustard saw that I was injured but did not force me to pick up customers, but there was always someone to guard, I had escaped, but it was found that it was nothing more than another beating, and I knew that if I didn't find another way, I was afraid that I would not be able to get out until I died. When I was healed, I pretended to be obedient, and today I stabbed the guest with scissors when they were unguarded, and I met the young lady after I ran out of Qingwan Building......"

Qiu Ju couldn't cry anymore, and Tong'er also cried together. "Miss, she's so pitiful!"

Li Ke also put down the teacup in his hand at this time, and his good-looking eyebrows wrinkled together. "Do you know where this surnamed Liang came from?"

Qiu Ju wiped away her tears and replied. "Qiu Ju inquired when he was in Qingwan Building, he is the son of the prefect of this Tanzhou, and everyone is afraid of the prefect of Liang, so no one dares to stop him."

"This prefect again?" Melodious exclaimed.

Qiu Ju said busily. "Miss Gongzi, you can save Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju is grateful, it is said that this Liang prefect is a powerful official, and there are relatives in the court, ordinary officials can't touch him, and the benefactor can't anger him because of Qiu Ju."

"It's not early, Tong'er will take her to rest." Li Ke commanded.

Qiu Ju kowtowed again before returning to the room with Tong'er.

After the two left, Li Ke commanded. "Tomorrow morning, I will inform the officials of Tanzhou, and this king has arrived in Tanzhou."

"Yes, Your Highness!"
