Chapter 14: Chivalry
Xiao Lingjiang sighed: "There are many strange things about this devil city...... I just don't know, where is it located in the desert? ”
Hearing this, Hu Shang waved his hand again and again, and warned the two: "Devil's City is not a place worthy of curiosity, I don't know how many people fell into it and disappeared without a trace. Others can be said to avoid it."
Xiao Lingjiang smiled and said, "My brother and I traveled south and north, but this is the first time I have heard of this realm, isn't it just a little curious." This place is so evil and dangerous, if you know about it, you can avoid it more in the future......"
Hu Shang sighed: "What you said is not unreasonable. Legend has it that the devil's city appeared in the Gobi from Shazhou to the Western Regions, as for the specific location, everyone has their own opinions, and others can't find it. It is precisely because of this that people are doubly aware of the evil ......"
Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, the desert is vast, if there is no specific location, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to find such a small city hidden by formation.
However, now that you know what this devil city is saying, it should be much more convenient to inquire about it next.
She put this problem aside for the time being, unloaded the silk on her hunchback, and traded with the Hu merchants.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, Xiao Lingjiang looked up, and saw a slender figure suddenly squeezed out of the bustling crowd, stumbling towards this place.
The girl looked like she was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and her palm-sized face was full of panic.
"Where to run!"
The figure was followed by two people who looked like Xifan, and when they caught up, they waved the whip in their hands fiercely at the slender figure.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingjiang's eyes couldn't help narrowing, the hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, and the whip slave felt a stumble under his feet, and then fell to the ground fiercely, and the whip that was about to fall on the body also hit the ground obliquely.
The man threw himself down and ate a mouthful of ashes, and he struggled to get up, turning his head to look at his companion: "What are you doing?" I'm not going to get them arrested! ”
Seeing this, the companion hurriedly stepped forward and twisted the fleeing slender girl.
"Let go of me! Let me go! The girl was caught, struggled and screamed.
Hu Cong, who had fallen, got up and stretched out his hand to slap the girl: "My master has taken a fancy to you, it is your blessing." If you run again, you don't know what to do, and your family doesn't want to have a good life! ”
The girl's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she was waved by his palm, but when she heard the words "family person", she didn't dare to struggle anymore, and the whole person also fell.
Someone on the side was whispering: "What's the matter?" ”
"Which Western magnate in the city has taken a fancy to this little lady......"
"Fancy it?" Someone frowned and said, "Isn't this just robbing people's girls?" Why don't you go to the court? ”
"Shhhhh......h ”
"Hey......" The man couldn't help but sigh low when he heard this, although he was not from the Great Zhou family, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation, "The remnants are here, so the country is difficult to return, it's difficult, it's ......."
Xiao Lingjiang's heart was also slightly sinking when he heard this, yes, now it seems that business in Shazhou is as usual, but the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty who are begging for a living under the hands of the Xifan people don't know what kind of torture they have to suffer......
The girl hung her head and resigned herself to the two servants.
Everyone talked about it, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop it. can be so arrogant in this Shazhou City, and it is not something that these small merchants can afford to offend.
Xiao Lingjiang had the heart to stop it, but he also knew that now was not the time. Once they make a move at this time and attract the attention of the people of Xifan or the Divine Palace, their plans for this trip may be over.
She exchanged a look with Pei You, and then arched her hand to Hu Shang, saying that she had something to do, and the transaction was handed over to Pei You, so she disappeared into the crowd and left in a hurry.
Before you know it, it's getting dark.
Xiao Lingjiang lay on the roof for a long time, only to hear a "squeak" push the door, and a middle-aged man with a big belly walked into the house: "Let's retreat first!" ”
The maids in the house saluted, and then withdrew one after another, leaving only the girl who had been tied up in the mansion of the Western Tibetan magnates to sit in front of the bed.
The middle-aged man laughed proudly twice, took off his coat and walked towards the girl beside the bed with a smile.
The girl cowered in fear.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to reach out and touch the girl, Xiao Lingjiang made a seal on his hand, and with a slight wave, the middle-aged man fell silently on the couch.
"Ahh The girl couldn't help but exclaim.
The maid outside the door didn't take it seriously, there were many little ladies brought back by the master from outside, and there were not a few who were reluctant to die or live, and they were already strange.
They're there...... It's better not to disturb the owner's interest.
The two looked at each other and retreated far away.
"Shh Xiao Lingjiang whispered to the girl through the lifted tiles, "I'm here to save you." ”
The girl raised her head, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but be startled, and she was afraid of alarming others, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Xiao Lingjiang turned over and got off the roof, seeing that there was no one in the yard, and was about to step forward to push the door, but saw a black shadow enter the house before her.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaped in.
The man in black noticed the movement behind him, and hurriedly counterattacked, and the two exchanged hands for a while.
This person wore a white smiling mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, which looked extremely strange. He looked at Xiao Lingjiang in front of him, and saw that she was dressed in a gray robe, with a dark face, dressed as a businessman, and couldn't help but have a slight depth in her eyes.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why are you here?"
Xiao Lingjiang turned over to avoid his palm, took a few steps back, and then pointed at the girl: "Naturally, it's for her." ”
When the girl heard this, she nodded again and again: "Yes." This little brother is here to save me, and he is the one who stunned this Xifan. ”
Looking at the smiling mask on the face of the man in black, the fear in her heart gradually receded: "White-faced knight, are you also here to save me?" ”
She heard her grandfather say that there was a white-faced knight in Shazhou, wearing a smiling mask and black clothes, who acted chivalrous and righteous to save the people of Shazhou who were tortured by the Xifan people from fire and water.
The description of the person in front of him is not the white-faced knight?
Xiao Lingjiang frowned when she heard this, although she didn't know who this white-faced knight was, she could also see from this girl's expression that this person might not be a bad person.
Seeing that the man nodded, she also took the offensive: "Since you and I have the same purpose, then quickly lead people out of this place." ”
The man bowed his head, stepped forward and swung his sword at the neck of the Xifan man who fell on the couch, and then whispered, "Let's go." ”
Xiao Lingjiang glanced at the blood on the couch, and then moved away lightly, I heard that this person has always committed adultery and plunder, and he has done all kinds of evil, and now it is not a pity to die.
The girl was startled, she clenched her trembling hands, and made up her mind to go out with the two of them.
This white-faced chivalrous warrior has good martial arts, and with Xiao Lingjiang here, it is naturally effortless for the two of them to take the girl out.
It's just that, as the white Ri Na escort said, the girl still has a family, and now that the powerful people in Xifan are dead, it is inevitable that they will be held accountable, and they have to be arranged separately.
"I'll arrange this." The white-faced knight had a smiling face, but his voice was low.
