The second floor of the inn, which was originally pitch black, suddenly flashed with swords and swords in the moonlight, and from time to time there was the sound of weapons colliding and the wails of everyone in the inn.

After a while, several masked people dressed in black were knocked to the ground from the broken windows of the rooms on the second floor, and then Meng Yan also broke out of the windows on the second floor and jumped down the street with light skills.

Immediately after, the door of the inn opened, and the innkeeper led a group of men out of the inn. In this way, Meng Yan was alone and fought fiercely on the streets with this group of Feng Lei Tang's men.

After killing several people desperately in the next place, Meng Yan gradually felt a little exhausted again, and because the previous wound had not yet fully recovered, the blood oozing from it gradually stained the clothes around his waist.

Meng Yan gritted his teeth, supported himself with the blade and let his body squat down halfway, and as he began to gasp for air, the beads of sweat on his face also rolled down correspondingly.

And just when he was taking a short breath, a large net of hemp rope suddenly fell from the sky, and before Meng Yan could stretch out the blade in his hand, he was immediately firmly caught by this big net.

Then, with the expressions of the Wind Thunder Hall disciples around Meng Yan looking at each other at this moment, the beggar gang disciples who had already set up an ambush around them immediately rushed forward and surrounded Meng Yan and the remaining Wind Thunder Hall disciples.

"The people of the Wind Thunder Hall, the old man doesn't want to entangle with you today, obediently hand over Meng Yan and leave this place immediately, otherwise don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the beggar gang." The leading elder among the beggars spoke.

"Jokes, Your Excellency is not asking in Shudi, what I want from Fenglei Hall has never been handed over to others, not to mention that there is still a group of stinky people on the other side. Hehe, it's just wishful thinking. The innkeeper also said unceremoniously.

So, when the two sides were at a stalemate, with the elder's order, the beggar gang disciples and the remaining remnants of the Wind Thunder Hall began to fight fiercely again.

And after a few rounds of fierce fighting, the disciples of the Wind Thunder Hall were gradually unable to parry due to the disadvantage in numbers.

In order to get out of this senseless battle as soon as possible, the remaining people of the Wind Thunder Hall threw down the special anesthetic smoke bombs made by the Wind Thunder Hall together, and then they tried in vain to quickly leave this place with Meng Yan with their hands and feet.

However, when they were about to throw the smoke bombs in their hands around, the place where Meng Yan had been lying was now clean, leaving only a few traces of blood.

"How is that possible, where is he? Where is he? In his impatience, the innkeeper suddenly began to roar wildly. At the same time, several of his men, while persuading him, covered him to force his way out of a weak point in the encirclement, and quickly jumped on a few horses that had already been prepared and ran in the direction of the east gate.

The beggars who stayed in place were temporarily restrained because of the smoke. And when the people of the Wind and Thunder Hall were far away, they saw that the streets to the north were gradually brightening, and it was several groups of soldiers guarding the city who were patrolling at night with torches, and they were hurrying towards this place because they heard the movement of the fighting equipment.

"Elder, let's go, if you don't leave, it'll be too late." Under the persuasion of his subordinates, the leading elder was very reluctant to lead the disciples of the beggar gang who gradually regained consciousness to quickly flee from here, leaving only a scene of a mess and corpses strewn across the streets.

After a short time, a person dressed as an adjutant general walked into the big tent of the Xuanwuwei headquarters, and then he whispered to a middle-aged officer who was sitting in the main seat of the hall about the unusual movement that had occurred in the city tonight.

After hearing this, the corners of the officer's mouth rose slightly, and he quickly wrote a letter asking the adjutant general to bring it to King Mu immediately, and told the adjutant not to attract anyone's attention along the way.

On the other side, in the underground cellar of the Yongxi Inn, Meng Yan, who had fled back here in the chaos, was on a simple bed in the corner, and simply restrained his bleeding wound with a strip of cloth torn from his sleeve.

Although sweat was pouring down his forehead, he was clenching his teeth at the moment, silently enduring the pain of the wound on his lower back. After a while, after this pain was relieved slightly, Meng Yan's sleepiness welled up, and he gradually fell into a deep sleep because he couldn't support it.

Early the next morning, Ling Rui and Ouyang He led their horses from outside the city to be late. The two of them had arrived at the gates the night before, but had to spend the night in a house outside the city after missing the closing time.

At Ling Rui's suggestion, the hungry duo entered a restaurant on the street to prepare some breakfast. Soon after the two of them sat down, several people dressed up at the table next to them also sat down one after another.

"Alas, I was woken up in the middle of the night to carry the corpse, I was tired to death, when was it so unpeaceful in Chengdu City, really!" An older catcher spoke first.

"That's your bad luck, fortunately our brothers weren't called last night, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to eat this morning after moving the corpse overnight, haha!" The other person picked up.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, tell my brother a few words, what happened last night? Is it really as tragic as rumored? The third person couldn't wait for the middle-aged catcher to speak.

"Cough, depending on the situation, it's just that the gangs in the rivers and lakes are fighting for territory, and most of the dead are some people called Huazi, that is, the people of the beggar gang are undoubtedly, and the rest of the people from the tattoo on the neck should be the people of the Wind Thunder Hall, I don't know when this Wind and Thunder Hall will provoke the beggar gang again, cut!" The catcher said as he peeled peanuts.

"Alas, they are happy to kill, but we have suffered a few brothers, and I don't know where in the city they will continue to kill, we have to be careful."

"Hmph, it's just a group of rabble, how big a wave can it afford, it's not just a dead end when you meet our Xuanwu Wei in Dashu, come, brother, drink." The elder said proudly.

After hearing this conversation, Ouyang He and Ling Rui looked at each other, and both of them roughly guessed in their hearts that this fire was very likely to be related to Meng Yan.

However, in the current situation, they didn't have much useful information in their hands to know where Meng Yan was now. If you look for a needle in a haystack in the huge city of Chengdu, it may attract the attention of other relevant people.

At this time, Ouyang He suddenly remembered that she had secretly come to Chengdu with her father-in-law once when she was a child, and had met a close friend of her father-in-law. According to Ouyang Jing's later account, there seemed to be nothing in the entire city of Chengdu that he did not know.

So, Ouyang He suggested that since they had no clues now, they might as well try to ask this gentleman for advice, maybe they would get some useful information from him.

The two then keenly found a pawnshop in a fairly remote location in Chengdu based on Ouyang He's memory. And when they walked into the store, there was an old man who looked in good spirits sitting on a rocking chair in the store, who was leisurely shaking the fan in his hand and closing his eyes to recuperate.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, I'm Xiaohe, do you remember me?" Ouyang He asked the old man with joy.

"Hey, Lotus girl, just say it, the old man is not deaf, don't learn to be as verbose as Ouyang Jing's old thing." The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his wrinkled face quickly showed a knowing smile, "Yo, the girls have grown into such a slim girl, remembering that when you came here, you hid behind Ouyang Jing with a shy face, as if there had been no interval of a few days." ”

Then, the old man moved his gaze to Ling Rui, who was standing beside Ouyang He, and looked at it carefully with a mysterious smile: "Hehe, you have a good eye, a young man with such a talent, it is very suitable to find your husband, haha!" ”

"Uncle Liu, don't make fun of me, Ling Gongzi...... It's just the companion who accompanied me here, what an embarrassment you are saying! Ouyang He laughed a little shy and embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, Ling Rui is only here to protect Miss Ouyang, and he has never thought about anything wrong, and he also asks his predecessors to learn from it." Ling Rui suddenly looked a little frightened.

"Hehe, yes or no, you young people have their own answers in their hearts, why should you care about the old man's crazy words? Ha ha! The old man then introduced himself to Ling Rui, saying that his name was Liu Li, and he had been a sworn brother with Ouyang He's father-in-law, Ouyang Jing.

Subsequently, the old man asked Ouyang He about Ouyang Jing's current situation. And after Ouyang He said with some stumbling words that Ouyang Jing had already passed away, the old man was stunned at first, and then sighed a little helplessly that life is impermanent, and he will go down one day sooner or later. It's just that he hopes that his friend won't reincarnate too quickly, so that the two of them might still be able to raise a glass in the Netherworld.

"Anyway, girl, you came from Yuzhou to Chengdu without saying hello in advance, it should be more than just to look at my bad old man, let's say, what do you want to ask from me, as long as the old man knows, the old man must know everything about you." Liu Li said very casually.

"Actually, Uncle Liu, Xiaohe is here this time mainly to help a friend who met in Pingshui, as far as I know, he may have arrived here last night。。。。。。" Ouyang He informed Liu Li of Meng Yan's situation and the ideas she had analyzed herself.

"Oh, the old man has already heard about what happened in King Jin's mansion, according to the news that the old man has heard so far, the new emperor has not yet convicted King Jin and his wife, so in the old man's opinion, this Prince Jin is probably desperately looking for evidence in Chengdu City that can prove the innocence of King Jin and his wife." Liu Li stroked his beard and said, "As for the abnormal movement in the city you mentioned last night, as far as the old man knows, this Fenglei Hall and the beggar gang have never intersected, but it is indeed a bit too coincidental that there is a fierce battle at the moment when the whole city is rewarding Prince Jin with a heavy reward." ”

"That'...... If this matter is really related to Meng Gongzi, according to Uncle Liu, where are we most likely to find him? Ouyang He threw out the question he actually wanted to ask the most.

Liu Li smiled without saying a word, and then mentioned to Ouyang He that No. 36 Qingyun Street was a three-story building that was being rented, and they could temporarily go there to rent it during their stay in Chengdu, after all, the rent of this small building was much cheaper than that of an inn.

Finally, Liu Li mentioned sideways that due to the heavy humidity in the building, it will be more stuffy day and night, and it is necessary to open the east windows more to ventilate and dissipate heat.

Just when Ouyang He and the two became a little confused about Liu Li's sudden transfer of topics, Liu Li smiled again, shook his feather fan and got up and walked to the back room, and when he was close to the door, he turned sideways and said to Ouyang He that he felt a little too sleepy and wanted to rest first, and told the two of them to rent this small building quickly in a joking tone, because it would be rented by others if it was late.

"Hey, Uncle Liu。。。。。。" Ouyang He was a little speechless, Ling Rui persuaded Ouyang He that they should listen to Uncle Liu's words first, and go find this three-story small building first, he thought that Liu Li deliberately let them rent this small building as soon as possible should have some deep meaning, maybe they can find some clues about Meng Yan when they get there.

After many inquiries on the street, the two still successfully found this small building and rented it according to Liu Li's instructions. Ouyang He came to the third floor and opened the east-facing window, and as a cool breeze blew across her face, the vast view outside the window opened up in front of her eyes.

"Heh, I see, it is worthy of the place prompted by the seniors, it is indeed the most likely place to find Brother Meng here, maybe we can help him." Ling Rui looked out the window and said confidently, Ouyang He also nodded in agreement after noticing a relatively low fence outside the window.
