Volume 1 Mo Shang Gongzi Xing Chapter 9 The Bandit and the Little Girl
After resting in the middle of the night and waking up in the morning, Zhao Ning's strength was fully recovered.
Last night's interrogation of Zhao Zhongping and others has now come to fruition.
Zhao Ning got the confession and browsed it, and when he knew it, he put it aside casually. The content involved in the confession, in addition to further confirming Zhao Yujie's crimes, is about the wings she cultivated, including the number of people, cultivation, strongholds, etc.βmost of them are in the capital.
"Childe, do we want the state government yamen to immediately send people to their foothold in Daizhou City and wipe them out? And the killers who attacked Childe yesterday and are still hiding in the wild!" Zhao Ning's personal maid Xia He took the initiative to suggest.
She was also a cultivator, with a plump body, a fair face as full as an apple, a little baby fat, and when she spoke, she was visibly angry, and her fleshy cheeks turned into red apples.
"Not necessarily. β
"Why not?"
"By this time they were long gone. After Zhao Yujie was rescued last night, she must have sent someone to inform them of the change of location. β
"Huh?"
Xia He suddenly realized, his voice was louder, and he was even more angry, and scolded with bulging cheeks: "This stinky woman is really insidious and cunning!"
Sitting at the table, before eating breakfast, Zhao Ning took out a letter, took off the valuable jade pendant on his waist, and handed it to Xia He.
"Send someone to Yongningfang, find a restaurant called 'Yipinlou', and buy a few jars of the special wine 'Shi Frozen Spring'. Secretly handed over the letter and the jade pendant to the shopkeeper, and said that it was a friend of the 'ruler dagger', and entrusted them to send the letter out as quickly as possible. β
Xia He nodded obediently and seriously, and when he took the letter, he kept repeating and remembering key words such as "Yipinlou, Shijichun, and Ruler Dagger" in his mouth, and walked out quickly with small steps.
The breakfast was very rich, mica porridge, gyokuro dumplings, crab roe buns, salted duck eggs...... Color, flavor, and flavor.
When Zhao Ning ate the second bun, Xia He re-entered the door, and saw that the porridge in Zhao Ning's bowl was almost gone, so he hurriedly filled him another bowl, "Childe, since that letter is for our own people, why don't you use the cultivators in this house?"
"Our people have been stared at for a long time, and even if they go out of the city, they can't go far. β
"Can't you ask Lord Thorn to send someone to help us deliver it?"
"The people sent out by the assassin may not be safe. β
"What kind of Yipinlou is that, isn't it a restaurant, how can they help us deliver letters?"
"It was a charlatan. β
"Oh, no wonder...... Childe, who is that 'ruler dagger'?"
"Their chief. β
"Is he powerful?"
"It's ok. β
"How did Childe know him?"
Zhao Ning, who was immersed in eating porridge, grabbed a bun and handed it to Xia He without looking back.
"Childe, I've already eaten it. β
"This is used to gag your mouth. β
β......β
Xia He held the bun in both hands, lowered his head and took a small bite of resentment, eating aggrievedly. Seeing her in such pain, Zhao Ning knew that when the other party got up early to eat, he should have eaten very full, and there was no gap in his stomach.
As soon as Zhao Ning finished breakfast, a cultivator hurriedly came to report: "Childe, a cultivator from the Yamen of the state capital, has discovered Zhao Yujie's whereabouts!"
"When the other party just disguised himself as going out of the city, he was recognized by the soldiers guarding the city, and the two sides briefly exchanged hands, but what he didn't expect was that several cultivators around Zhao Yujie were extraordinary, and the people from the yamen of the state capital were injured and couldn't stop them. Now, the assassin has already taken the masters of the Yamen to chase after him!"
Zhao Ning took the tea bowl handed by Xia He and rinsed his mouth, "Got it." β
"Childe, should we come along?" the cultivator asked.
"Not necessarily. β
After the cultivator retreated, Xia He hurriedly asked curiously: "Childe, why don't we chase after it? We can't let go of Zhao Yujie's stinky woman! If she dares to attack Childe, she should be caught and soaked in the pig cage!"
Zhao Ning looked at Xia He, as if he thought of something, and suddenly changed his mind, "Then let's go." β
Xia He was immediately overjoyed, and proudly straightened her chest, being able to give advice to Childe and being adopted by Childe, which proved her "excellent" wisdom and made her very complacent.
Zhao Ning summoned the cultivators, rode his horse to the city gate, and after asking the guards at the gate, he learned that the assassin Shi had been out of the city for a stick of incense with all the masters of the yamen, and now he didn't know where to chase it.
"Looks like we can't catch up. There are many masters around Assassin Shi, and he should bring back Zhao Yujie. β
Zhao Ning got off the horse, walked around the city gate, and without waiting for Xia He to ask, he took the lead in saying his plan, "Okay, we can't help with this matter anyway, let's go back." β
There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, coming and going, Zhao Ning simply didn't get on the horse again, and walked slowly with the reins, and soon blended into the flow of people.
At this time, on the official road in the south of Daizhou City, a jujube red horse was galloping north among the mountains.
The horse is a good horse, majestic as a tiger, vigorous as a dragon, with well-textured muscles like nature, and the horse's hooves are raised to wipe the dust, connected into a long straight line like a sharp arrow, and the speed is so fast that it can only be described as galloping.
Compared with the horses, which were more than half a head taller than ordinary war horses, the knight with a low waist in the saddle was as petite as a cat.
As the horses were about to gallop out of the mountains, the ground shook at the narrow junction! A wooden fence more than a foot high was pulled by ropes, standing out of the dirt, and knives tied to the hardwood were densely packed and dazzling in the sunlight.
With a long neigh, the horse, which was about to crash into the wooden fence no matter how it looked, suddenly stopped galloping after the knight suddenly pulled the reins. The four crooked hooves plowed two deep trenches in the ground, and they were forced to stand five paces away from the wooden fence, stopping the forward running.
The horseman's riding skill is evident from this.
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!"
A group of bandits jumped out of the mountain forest next to the road, led by a one-eyed man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, carrying two sledgehammers on his shoulders and blocking the middle of the road. Looking at the black and shiny material of the sledgehammer, and the staggered rune lines on it, you know that this is a rune soldier!
Obviously, this thief leader was a Qi Realm cultivator.
It's not just him, there are two people on his left and right, one holding a saber and the other holding a meteor whip, and they are all cultivators of the Imperial Qi Realm! As for the rest of the bandits, although they have not shown their cultivation in the Imperial Qi Realm, judging by their fierce temperament and long breathing, they are definitely not ordinary people.
This is not a simple path-cutting thief, but an extraordinary gang of bandits!
The thief's voice fell, and on the red horse, a money bag the size of an adult's palm flew out and fell into the thief's arms without a moment's delay.
The other party is so knowledgeable, the thief is very happy, the heavy money bag starts, he feels that he has gained a lot today, not to mention that the material of the money bag is top-notch.
After opening it and taking a look, the thief suddenly smiled, this bulging money bag contained neither silver nor gold, but a whole bag of pearls!
The pearls are not big, not to mention priceless, but how can you buy a square area in Daizhou City, or the most prosperous area!
With such a fruitful harvest, the thief leader was about to call his subordinates to retreat, but the Qi Realm cultivator on his left, who was carrying a saber and a roe head rat brain, suddenly let out an exclamation, and walked forward with a lewd smile.
"Whose daughter is this, she was born so much that she is so captivating to the country and the city! It's just that I'm afraid I'm a little younger, and it's not time to go out of the city to have a private lover, right? Why don't you go back with your eldest brother, be a lady of the village, and ensure that you have a happy life!"
In the midst of the laughter of the crowd, the thief who had been patronizing the money before looked up at the knight, and his eyes widened in amazement.
The knight on the horse was a woman, who looked to be in the prime of her cardamom years, with luxurious clothes and light makeup, a petite figure, and a delicate face like a doll, white and tender, like a little princess who had sneaked out of the palace.
But his figure is very exquisite, and he should have become an adult.
No matter who sees this delicate and lovely "little girl", you will feel that you have seen the most beautiful thing in the world, such as the fresh flowing clouds in the sky after the rain, and the first rays of dawn that dispel the darkness at dawn.
"Come on, little girl, go with the big brother, the big brother will let you go to the clouds every day. β
In the stunned kung fu of the thief's head, the cultivator holding the saber had already walked up to the horse, and his smile was even more disgusting, and his hand had already grabbed the other party.
The laughter was louder, and there were people whistling exaggeratedly.
At this time, the thief leader and everyone saw that the "little girl's" eyes drooped. A pair of originally delicate willow eyebrows, with a slight frown, became a pair of sharp swords!
Boom!
The thief leader didn't see how the other party was attacking.
He only saw his second master, his head exploded like a watermelon, and blood mixed with his brain splattered like a waterfall!
Suddenly, the thief felt the piercing danger of falling into the abyss, but before he could even lift the sledgehammer, he felt the phantom in front of him flicker, and his body suddenly became light.
The two eyeballs looked into the middle, and suddenly the soul was overwhelmed.
His body was cut in half from the middle, and the smooth cut was blurred with flesh and bones. As the two halves of the body fell to the sides, the colorful viscera and steaming intestines fell with a bang.
In the next moment, the thief's consciousness began to be invaded by darkness.
He heard his men let out a terrible scream that no human could make, and his last vision was filled with flying severed limbs and bloody rain, stained a thick red.
The sun in the sky, rendered in red, resembles a black sun.
Before dying, the thief finally realized that the delicate "little girl" with the temperament of a princess was not a flowing cloud or dawn at all, but a devil!
Zhao Ning took Xia He and a team of cultivators to walk on the street back to the Zhao family's house, and his steps were not very fast, no different from ordinary pedestrians in the flow of people. Daizhou City is not small, and it takes a lot of time to go back from the city gate unhurriedly.
Zhao Ning looked leisurely and was not in a hurry.
There are a lot of Hu people on the street, some are businessmen, and some are guards. Some of them are dressed in silk and satin, and they are also rich and noble. But no matter who it is, seeing Zhao Ning, who is dressed in brocade clothes and wearing ornaments with extraordinary value, knows that this is the son of the family of the Great Qi Xian Eunuch, they all automatically get out of the way.
Some Hu people who gave way slowly kept saluting and laughing, as if they were afraid of making the nobles of Daqi unhappy. The reverence of the Saibei Hu people for Daqi is clearly revealed in these people.
"Childe, I suddenly thought of a question!"
