Lan Qian panicked, and she didn't know where she was running, and she couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, so she had to stumble forward.

In the end, it was that group of people who were more familiar with this place, and Lan Qian had not had enough to eat for a long time, and he didn't have much strength in his body, seeing that their figures were getting more and more anxious, and he was about to catch up!

She is only one person, but there are many people who can catch up......

She felt that her hands and feet had lost their strength, and she gradually became disobedient to herself.

Lan Qian was dizzy, her steps slowed down, and someone had already rushed behind her!

She rolled to her side, dodging the arms reaching out behind her, and landed lightly on the ground, staring at them viciously.

And the group of people obviously thought that the victory was in their hands, and a smug and obscene smile appeared on their faces.

One, two, three......

There were six of them!

At this time, she is defenseless, how can she fight against the water?

Even if she has a sharp blade in her hand, she may not be able to retreat with her whole body, let alone hand-to-hand combat, she can't deal with so many people.

Is there really no way out?

Pity her for thinking that she has done a good deed, but in the end it is useless, and she has to pay for her own life.

Lan Qian thought desperately.

At this moment, a long sword fell into the air, the sharp edge of the sword, reflecting the cold moonlight.

The tip of the sword plunged into the dirt in front of her.

Lan Qian looked up at this person suddenly.

This is the scene she has imagined countless times, and the scene that has been staged again and again in the excerpts of the book.

The swordsman stood in front of him, his back straight, his black hair tied in a bunch.

The scabbard was still on his back, and the fine lines were like some kind of special charm.

Everyone on the opposite side was stunned, hesitating and not daring to step forward.

The man who rushed to the front had a scar on his face, only he was obviously drunk, pointed at the swordsman and scolded: "If you know each other, get out of the way." ”

While the others were more sober, they sensed the faint murderous aura on this man's body, and the sword was extraordinary at a glance, but they were afraid that they had really seen blood.

The swordsman held his sword in front of him, curling the corners of his lips with contempt.

The drunken scar-faced man suddenly woke up, and his raised hand had not yet been put down, but he couldn't stop trembling.

"You...... Who are you? ”

The swordsman naturally ignored him, his expression seemed to be facing a dead thing, he suddenly turned around again, and said to Lan Qian stiffly and gently, "Girl, please turn your head." ”

At this time, Lan Qian had already guessed what he was going to do, but instead strangely calmed down, and her breathing gradually became smoother, after the swordsman said this, not only did she not turn around as he said, but instead gritted her teeth and stared at him with a firm gaze.

She only recognized him at this time, it turned out to be the person she had seen at the Shuojun Inn, and Lan Qian had also paid for his room and food.

When the swordsman saw her like this, he stopped persuading her, and smiled lightly: "What does the girl want me to do with them?" ”

Lan Qian struggled to speak, and found that her voice was terrible - yes, she hadn't drunk water for several days.

"Kill them." She paused word by word, and her voice was like that of a demon.

She didn't care what the crime was not to death or wait for the butler to condemn them, she only knew that if this swordsman came one step late, she was afraid that she would be the one who died.

She also believed that the strength and courage of this swordsman would not disappoint her.

The swordsman was not surprised at all, nor did he show shock, and said lightly: "As you wish." ”

With that, the figure rushed out like lightning, and the long sword slashed through the air with a sound of breaking through the air.

The six people on the other side didn't have time to react, so they had to open their eyes and let others slaughter.

In front of this swordsman, they were powerless.

After a burst of brilliant sword shadows, no one on the other side survived.

The thick bloody gas overflowed and was disgusting.

The swordsman put the long sword back into its sheath, his face still indifferent, and there was no expression, as if it was not him who killed just now. The black clothes were clean, and there was no blood stained at all. However, it is also possible that it is suppressed by a heavy black color, and it is difficult to see.

He walked towards Lan Qian, took two steps and suddenly stopped, probably because he was afraid that the bloody qi on his body would scare this little girl.

Lan Qian broke down and cried loudly at this time, unable to kneel on the ground.

He couldn't care about anything anymore, and walked up to her in three steps and two steps and crouched down.

He was at a loss, as if he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, he was already silent, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, he swallowed the words several times to his mouth, and finally held back a sentence: "Where is the girl going?" ”

Lan Qian didn't answer him, crying breathlessly, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

It was the first time she had seen a big living person die in front of her, and the hole in her neck was still bleeding blood.

She said that she didn't know what the consequences would be when she killed someone, and even stubbornly refused to turn her head, she had to see it with her own eyes, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she understood what kind of fear it was.

The swordsman is helpless, and he can't just leave people here, and in this situation, he can't stay here for a long time, so it's better to leave quickly.

"Offended." His voice was low and cold, he picked up Lan Qian, blocked the cold wind for her, jumped onto the roof next door, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Lan Qian was still immersed in her own world, and the thick bloody aura made her almost unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, in fact, she didn't even hear the swordsman ask her anything.

Suddenly, she felt her feet off the ground, and the sky swirled around, and the sound of whirring wind sounded in her ears, and it turned out that she was picked up by the man, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy when she saw the building passing by quickly.

She felt her eyelids sink deeper and heavier, and finally they came together.

In the last moments before falling into darkness, she faintly heard:

"Down, Huo Guyan."

In the early morning of the second day, the thick fog had not yet cleared, and Luo Jing was shrouded in a white mist, like a fairyland.

But what should happen will happen in the end, this is the world after all.

"Lord Zhan, six corpses were found in the East Fourteenth Square in the early hours of this morning, all of which were sealed with a sword."

As soon as Zhan Huaisong arrived at the Yamen, some subordinates rushed in in to report.

He is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the city, and he is in charge of the security of the capital.

"What's going on?!" He was shocked, it had been a long time since such a sensational case had happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

It was the first time he had met him sitting comfortably in this seat.

I'm afraid that now, my idle days are coming to an end.

"Take the officer with you." Something so big happened, he had to go and see it for himself.

"Yes."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally received the news early in the morning, and Zhao Yan took someone to the scene to see it before coming to report it.

Xie Qinglin intuitively felt that this matter was extraordinary, and there must be a hidden secret.

Why is the "East Fourteenth Square ......" so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

However, he didn't remember where he had heard this name for a while, and he didn't say anything more, and told Zhao Yan to report to him if there was any progress.

An hour later, Zhao Yan came back in a hurry.

"Your Highness, we have found a lot of locked children in the vicinity, and the minister suspects that it may be related to the frequent disappearances of children recently." He said breathlessly, his chest heaving violently.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been very concerned about this matter recently, so he rushed over non-stop when he got the news, for fear that someone would rob him of his credit.

Xie Qinglin really did as he thought, his eyes lit up, and he asked a little anxiously, "Then there is a girl who is four or five years old." ”

He remembered why the name of "East Fourteen Fang" was so familiar, Yanbei had reported to him that there were suspicious people here, and he only mentioned it casually at the time, and he forgot about it......

Zhao Yan thought about it carefully, and made sure that he didn't know that there was such a person, so he shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xie Qinglin's tone became sharp: "No? Are you sure you've taken a closer look? How could it not be? ”

"Your Highness, it's true, my subordinates really haven't seen ......."

Zhao Yancheng was terrified, and he was about to kneel down and confess his guilt.

Xie Qinglin waved his hand irritably, motioning for him to go down.

Why isn't Lan Qian there? Based on all kinds of clues, it can be inferred that she should be there, but why can't she be found? Did their search go wrong from the start, going in the wrong direction, or did something happen in between? Lan Qian was supposed to be there, but suddenly went somewhere else......

What's going on?

He really couldn't go back and face Jiang Yunyu's disappointed face.

At noon that day, the Imperial Forest Army and the Criminal Department were busy looking for the murderer, and Xie Qinglin was also anxious because he couldn't see Lan Qian.

Lan Qian opened his eyes in a daze, blinking a few times to get used to the white light.

Where is this?

She panicked and thought that the environment in front of her was completely different from before, the room was simple and pitiful, with only a few pieces of furniture, and a few layers of white paper pasted on the windows.

Memories faded back, and she slowly remembered what had happened before she lost her memory.

She knew she didn't have time anymore and couldn't wait any longer, so she took the risk of escaping from that place...... Right! She was chased up, and it was that person who came down from the sky to save her life!

The swordsman who had a relationship with each other in the Shuojun Inn!

Thinking of this, she felt a disgusting smell of blood surging in the air again: the tragic images of several people who died in a hurry always lingered in her mind......

It may have been inadvertently made a movement so that people outside could hear it.

The wooden door was pushed open with a "bang", and the swordsman strode in, with a chill on his body.

There was a blue and black beneath his eyes, and it turned out that he had been keeping watch outside all night.

He is really poor, and he can't find a second place to sleep.
