Reluctantly, I drank some with the jinshi. After three rounds of drinking, except for the absent-minded Xu Huaiqing, everyone was a little drunk. The discussion during the banquet has also changed from poetry and poetry to market chatter.

Xu Huaiqing was worried about Bai Jiujiu in his heart, and he didn't listen carefully to everyone's words, he just nodded and vaguely agreed.

"By the way, I don't know if Brother Xu has heard about it." At this moment, an obviously drunk jinshi walked up to Xu Huaiqing, and while talking, he sprayed alcohol, making Xu Huaiqing turn sideways quietly, "When Brother Xu was parading the streets, it is said that a group of beggars went to the street to make trouble and arrested a woman. ”

Xu Huaiqing just wanted to deal with the past casually, but his face suddenly changed. Bai Jiujiu has not returned for a long time, the woman who was arrested, could it be her?

Thinking of this, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Tai, can you tell me more about it?" What are the characteristics of that woman, and what is happening now? ”

Seeing that Xu Huaiqing was interested, the drunken Jinshi also became interested, and continued to show off what he heard, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so my specific appearance is not clear." But I heard that it seems to be the eldest lady of a big family, not to mention wearing the clothes of the Han family's embroidery workshop, and she also has a beautiful face. Now this world is really chaotic, and such things will happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Bad morals, bad morals. ”

Xu Huaiqing ignored the man's exclamation, and after listening to the other party's words, he was even more sure that the woman who was arrested was likely to be Bai Jiujiu.

If Xu Huaiqing was able to maintain the demeanor of a handsome boy before, although he was impatient, he didn't show it, but he couldn't care about anything at this time, and suddenly got up and grabbed the man's hand, "Brother Tai, what happened, how is that woman now, where is the person?" ”

Xu Huaiqing's reaction startled the man, and it took a while to react, "Brother Xu, why do you care so much about that woman?" I haven't heard of that woman, but the beggars have been captured by the government, so I guess I must have rescued her. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be drained of all his strength, and he collapsed on the chair. But after such an experience, where does he still have the heart to stay here and drink?

"Everyone, I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

The banquet has just begun, Xu Huaiqing, as the champion, is the protagonist of the banquet, where are the Jinshi willing to let him go.

"Brother Xu, where is this?" A jinshi stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around Xu Huaiqing's shoulders and said, "If we don't get drunk today, we must have a good drink." ”

Xu Huaiqing shook his head and firmly refused, "Everyone, I really have something urgent to do today." Another day, another day, I should personally set up a banquet and have a good drink with everyone. ”

After speaking, Xu Huaiqing ignored everyone's obstruction, left the restaurant directly, and went to the street to look for Bai Jiujiu.

Xu Huaiqing thought in his heart that if the person who was arrested was Bai Jiujiu, then she should return to the inn as soon as she was rescued. Thinking of this, Xu Huaiqing's steps turned around and walked towards the room.

After opening the door, Xu Huaiqing's brows furrowed tightly, and the expectation in his eyes gradually dimmed. The room was the same as when he had just left, and it was obvious that Bai Jiujiu had not returned.

The worry in Xu Huaiqing's heart couldn't help but deepen a little, Bai Jiujiu had not returned for a long time, and it was difficult for his heart to calm down for a while.

When he arrived on the street, Xu Huaiqing looked for Bai Jiujiu everywhere. Wherever she might go, Xu Huaiqing didn't let go, but she never saw that familiar figure.

And after Bai Jiujiu and Baili Su separated, they wanted to go back to the inn directly. When I was walking down the street, I suddenly felt a chill coming from behind.

Bai Jiujiu's heart tightened, and he immediately raised his vigilance. She knew very well that the coldness she felt was definitely not ordinary.

Standing still, Bai Jiujiu did not rush forward again. She kept looking around, trying to determine where the danger she felt was coming from.

At this moment, she was shocked to find a man standing in a restaurant with his whole body hidden in a cloak. It stands to reason that if you dress up like this in broad daylight, it will easily attract the attention of passers-by. But the others didn't seem to see him.

Seeing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Bai Jiujiu's eyes. She could feel the fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the other party's body.

"Who are you?" Bai Jiujiu frowned slightly, and used spiritual power to transmit sounds, wanting to find out the identity of the person who came.

Faced with Bai Jiujiu's question, the other party did not answer. He raised his hand slightly, and the rich spiritual power gathered in his palm.

Bai Jiujiu could feel that the other party was full of malice towards him.

"Who sent you?"

Facing Bai Jiujiu's questioning, the other party still didn't answer, just sneered, and the spiritual power vortex in his palm rotated faster and faster, changing from the original blue to a dark black. Far away, Bai Jiujiu could feel the restless power in it.

She knew very well in her heart that the other party intended to do it directly to her.

With such a huge amount of spiritual power, Bai Jiujiu also knew that it was impossible for him to defeat him. Instead of choosing to fight hard, she turned around and quickly fled in the opposite direction.

Seeing that Bai Jiujiu wanted to escape, the other party immediately chased after him. As he chased, he released the spiritual power in his palm towards Bai Jiujiu.

Although he didn't look back, Bai Jiujiu could also feel the powerful spiritual power that kept coming from behind him. Biting her lip vigorously, she also condensed the true qi in her body, condensing a protective shield around her body to resist the attack of the mysterious person.

When the spiritual power emitted by the mysterious man hit the protective shield around Bai Jiujiu's body, she clearly felt a heat in her body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Jiujiu's face became even more difficult to look at. The protective shield she had just formed with all her might was so vulnerable in front of the mysterious man. It seems that her spiritual power is far weaker than the other party.

Bai Jiujiu's heart knew very well that he couldn't stop. Judging from the strength of spiritual power, he is not the opponent of the other party at all. In this case, she can only find a way to escape from the other party's hands.

The injured Bai Jiujiu's speed became slower than before, and he was soon pulled into the distance by the mysterious person behind him.

"Looks like hide-and-seek is coming to an end." The other party condensed spiritual power in the palm of his hand and said, "Die here." ”

Hearing this voice, coupled with the eyes under the veil, Bai Jiujiu felt a little familiar, as if he had met somewhere.
