The crowded Linxiang Street is the most famous commodity trading place in Tanzhou City, and it is also the only way to go from the Sunset Book House to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the west of the city.

Previously, after learning of Gao Che's slightly critical situation at this time, the other three decided to temporarily follow the requirements of the announcement, so in the evening, Liu Yangyang carried the heirloom jade seal and walked into the crowd of people on Linxiang Street with an uneasy face.

At the same time, behind Liu Yangyang, Chu Birou and Tong Kun, who were disguised as ordinary passers-by, were carefully protecting Liu Yangyang's safety in secret.

The bustling streets are lined with open shops and warehouses for storing goods, and from time to time there are people dressed as porters carrying them to and from one warehouse to another. And somehow, since she walked into Linxiang Street, Liu Yangyang always felt as if there were countless pairs of malicious eyes staring at her in all corners of the street, and these sharp eyes made her gradually feel a little creepy.

"Stinky boy, dare to steal from me, I'll kill you!"

Just as Liu Yangyang's steps were getting faster and faster and ready to leave Linxiang Street as soon as possible, a burst of shouting and crying came from not far ahead. When she got closer, a pastry vendor was punching and kicking a ragged boy who was clutching a steamed bun in his arms.

Liu Yangyang originally wanted to leave quickly, but the little boy's heart-rending cry made it difficult for her to move her steps. So driven by instinct, Liu Yangyang still stepped forward to stop the beating of the vendor and helped the little boy pay off the steamed bun.

"Thank you...... Sister, I know that too...... Stealing ...... No, it's ...... I'm really ...... So hungry, woo woo woo ......"

The little boy knelt in front of Liu Yangyang and sobbed, and Liu Yangyang then squatted down to comfort the little boy in a soft voice, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"Hey, where did that guy go?" When everyone's attention was attracted by the little boy, Tong Kun looked around and didn't find the figure of the vendor just now, and then he seemed to suddenly realize something important, "It's not good, this is a trap!" ”

It was too late to say that it was too late, and when Liu Yangyang's guard was weakened, the little boy's eyes suddenly changed when he originally looked pitiful, and then he quickly sprinkled a handful of mysterious white powder at Liu Yangyang. Liu Yangyang gradually felt dizzy in shock, and soon passed out in front of the little boy without resistance.

The little boy then took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve with an expressionless face, and his fierce eyes and slowly raised hands stared at Liu Yangyang's chest.

Chu Birou and Tong Kun, who were following behind, quickly moved to Liu Yangyang's location after seeing this sudden situation, but at this moment, several cold arrows suddenly shot out from the second floor of the shops on both sides of the street, and Chu Birou and Tong Kun hurriedly dodged sideways.

A large number of killers who had already been ambushed here in disguise took advantage of the situation to pull out all kinds of weapons and rushed towards Chu Birou and Tong Kun, and the entire Linxiang Street was suddenly in chaos, and the ordinary people in the street screamed and fled with their heads in their hands.

When the killers were entangled with the two people who followed, Liu Yangyang, who had fainted on the ground, had been quietly carried away from the street.

"The prey is in the bag, withdraw!"

With the leader's order, the killers threw smoke bombs all over the street at the same time, and Chu Birou and Tong Kun were suddenly lost in a white smoke.

"Damn! Yangyang, Yangyang, where are you? Tong Kun seemed to have lost his mind, and roared loudly as he swung his sword indiscriminately in the smoke.

On the other side, a person hiding in the corner was also secretly observing Chu Birou and Tong Kun's every move in the smoke, and when he witnessed the panicked appearance of the two of them, he quietly left the scene with a satisfied expression.

When the smoke gradually cleared, in order to avoid being caught by the officers and soldiers who heard the news, Chu Birou persuaded Tong Kun to return to the Rishu House for a long-term plan. So, with a look of unwillingness and resentment, Tong Kun gritted his teeth and left Linxiang Street quickly with Chu Birou before the officers and soldiers arrived.

(At the same time, in the government prison)

While the jailers were drinking and eating and relaxing their vigilance, a sturdy man in black quietly evaded the patrolling guards and sneaked into the depths of the cell, spending some time sneaking around and successfully finding Gao Che, who was still tied to the wooden frame. At this time, Gao Che seemed to be still leisurely immersed in sleep, and his relaxed demeanor made it impossible to see that he was still a prisoner in danger.

The man in black quickly stunned the two dozing guards, and then she cautiously tried to wake Gao Che softly.

"Really, what are you guys going to do? Honkoshi...... (yawning)...... I finally fell asleep. ”

Gao Che lazily opened his eyes, although the man in black was masked, but through the clear eyes of the man in black, Gao Che immediately recognized her as the mysterious woman who had put himself down in the woods earlier.

"Heh, I didn't expect the girl to remember being down, I'm really flattered to be here!" Gao Che said as he stared at the man in black with a hint of teasing.

"If you still want Miss Liu to live, follow me immediately!" After the man in black finished speaking eagerly, he pulled Goche who broke free from the wooden frame and ran in the direction of the cell door.

"Huh? You mean Miss Yangyang, what's wrong with her? ”

When Gocher finished asking this sentence, a prisoner who was eating in a cell next to the passage was suddenly stunned, and the rice bowl in his hand smashed to the ground with a "bang".

The mysterious woman noticed this prisoner with a blank face, and secretly guessed in her heart that this person had such a reaction when she heard Liu Yangyang's name, could it be that his true identity was not ordinary? In addition, somehow, throughout the process of rescuing Gao Che, the woman always felt an indescribable uneasiness hidden in her heart, as if the overly calm atmosphere around her made her feel that something was not right.

"Why did the girl come back to save me? I even told me about Miss Liu, I'm afraid we should just be ordinary nodding friends for girls, right? Goucher asked, slightly puzzled.

"I just...... I don't want to involve others in the rights and wrongs around me. The mysterious woman said with a sigh and a little sadness.

The woman secretly remembered the appearance and characteristics of the prisoner and walked out of the cell door with Gao Che, and then Gao Che quickly subdued a patrol officer near the prison, and forced out that the nobleman in gorgeous clothes who had come to visit him before was Cheng Zhang, the general of Zhennan in the current Chu State, and Cheng Zhang had led some of his elite forces back to the General's Mansion after receiving a mysterious letter half an hour ago.

"It seems that Miss Liu is very likely to have been taken to the General's Mansion in the south of the city."

Gao Che was a little surprised and asked the mysterious woman why she had such a guess, and the woman replied that she had been to the Sunset Book House before, and learned the news of Liu Yangyang's abduction from Chu Birou and Tong Kun's words. She thought that since the other party would deliberately separate Liu Yangyang from her protectors, they would choose to take Liu Yangyang to a new location that was little known, rather than the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion known to her protectors, otherwise such an act would be meaningless.

Gao Che agreed after listening to the mysterious woman's idea, but the mysterious woman was also worried that she had guessed wrong, after all, there were so many courtyards of the royal family and officials in Tanzhou City, and she was not sure that Liu Yangyang would be in the General's Mansion at this time, so she planned to go to the Sunset Book House first to pass the news to others as backup.

However, in the face of such a suggestion, Gocher rejected it somewhat unreasonably. He suggested that they should go to the General's Mansion to investigate before making the next decision, because he was worried that if Liu Yangyang himself was really in the General's Mansion, the delay in this back and forth might put Liu Yangyang in an even more dangerous situation.

"Since the girl rescued me regardless of her previous suspicions, it is better to follow my son once, let's go to the General's Mansion to see the situation first and then make follow-up plans."

The mysterious woman didn't say anything more when she saw Gao Che's insistence, and the two quickly avoided the soldiers patrolling back and forth along the way under the guidance of the officer, and finally came to the general's mansion smoothly.

After tying the official to the grass on the side of the road, the two jumped lightly onto the wall of the general's mansion, and after some careful searching, Gao Che soon found that Liu Yangyang was sleeping in a pavilion in the water pavilion in the courtyard.

And when the two jumped off the wall to rescue Liu Yangyang, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly rushed out from all sides and surrounded the two.

"Hahaha, don't come here unharmed, Cheng has been waiting here for a long time!" Cheng Zhang, the general of the Chu State, stood at the door of the main hall with a proud face.

And as the rows of torches held by the soldiers were lit, the general's mansion, which was already late, instantly became brightly lit.

"It turned out to be a trap, damn it!" The mysterious woman muttered to herself with some remorse and anger.

On the other side, Liu Yangyang, who was originally lying on the ground, was also awakened by the noisy movement in the courtyard. With her hands bound by ropes and several guards following her every step of the way, she could only helplessly watch the mysterious woman and Gao Che trapped in the encirclement at this time.

"Originally, I thought it would be those friends of Brother Gao in the Sunset Book House who came to rescue you, but I didn't expect that the female thief who stole the official silver next to me would care about you so much."

"Huh? Do you know me? What Cheng Zhangfang said just now made the mysterious woman suddenly feel a trace of coolness like an electric shock.

"Hehe, do you really think that just your little people can steal thousands of taels of silver so easily? I'm afraid that at this time, those accomplices of yours have already fallen into the hands of this general, and of course, you are also included in the list of those who will be punished according to the law in the end, Miss Chen Fangning! ”

"What? Is she Miss Chen? Liu Yangyang felt a little incredulous in his ears.

"Since you know everything, then don't embarrass others, if you want to kill or chop, just come at me!" Chen Fangning hesitated for a while, but then raised his hand to remove the veil from his face, and then slowly took out the blade of his saber from the scabbard.

"Hehe, okay, Miss Chen's name is thunderous in this Tanzhou City, and when I see it today, the girl is really a heroine among women. In that case, I'll give you a chance, as long as the two of you can win the general alone tonight, the general will promise never to embarrass anyone other than Miss Chen again, how about it? Cheng Zhang said in a loud tone.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll ask General Cheng for advice!" When Chen Fangning was still thinking about it with a little hesitation, Gao Che actually agreed in one bite, which suddenly made Chen Fangning a little panicked.

"Wait, Master Gao, I'm afraid Cheng Zhang's purpose is not so simple." When Chen Fangning tried to discuss it with Gao Che in a whisper, Gao Che ignored her and was ready to deal with Cheng Zhang's offensive.

"Hahaha, let this general teach you how to do it, be careful!" Cheng Zhang confidently pulled out a heavy iron sword and quickly killed Gao Che, seeing that the two were fighting inseparably, Chen Fangning had to temporarily put aside his doubts and fight side by side with Gao Che at this time.
