Su Chen left the Qianyin Gang, turned a corner, and entered a lively street.

"Get away!"

When he ran to the middle of the street, suddenly several civilian men were beaten out of the shops along the street and blocked his way.

"Wu Xuan Gang, you have crossed the line! This is our Disha Gang's territory, how dare you act so arrogantly!"

A few people walked out of the shop, looked at the men in civilian clothes arrogantly, and said disdainfully: "Tsk, don't think we don't know that your Qian Gang leader was forced to leave by the Golden Lion Martial Arts School. Without a first-class martial artist to take charge, your Disha Gang is

Trash, our Wuxuan Gang will take over your territory from now on!"

The Disha Gang was originally very powerful in the Liquor City, thanks to the fact that their gang leader was the only first-class warrior in the Liquor City besides General Xia. Later, Lin Xu joined them, making them even stronger.

Even when the Golden Lion Martial Arts Hall eliminated the gangs in the wine city, it was the last one to attack them.

But Gang Leader Qian did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, before the Golden Lion Martial Arts Hall could deal with them, he began to take the initiative to compete with the Golden Lion Martial Arts Hall for territory. However, after the collision between the two forces, the vitality of their Disha Gang was severely damaged.

Recently, under repeated pressure from the Golden Lion Martial Arts Hall, Gang Leader Qian gave up his power in Liquor City and left Liquor City alone.

"Don't be too proud. Except for the Golden Lion Martial Arts School, no one in the city has practiced Qi yet. If we have a Qi master first, just wait! Hmph!"

Several people from the Disha Gang left in anger after saying harsh words.

Hearing what they said, Su Chen suddenly felt that if he could practice Qi in a place like Liquor City, he would be considered a great master.

After an interlude, he quickly rushed to the city lord's mansion.

Since he stayed in the mansion for a while during the Chinese New Year, all the servants in the mansion knew him and led him into the living room.

Xianglan hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? I heard that you are in a hurry."

Su Chen got straight to the point and said, "Where is the City Lord? I have something urgent to report to him."

"He is in the study, you come with me."

Xianglan didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately led him to the study.

"Ms. sir, are you busy?"

Arriving at the door of the study, Xianglan called out first, but found no one responded. Only then did she realize that the door was ajar.

She remembered that Ye Sheng had a habit of closing the door when working inside to avoid being disturbed by sounds from outside. If anyone in the house wanted to see him, he would knock on the door first.

If he is not working and is just reading, he will open the door and tell people in the house that they can come in and find him at any time.

When she first entered the courtyard, Xianglan saw that the doors were closed together, and thought Ye Sheng was at work, so she called out, but not only was there no answer inside, but the door was also strangely ajar.

"What's wrong? Isn't he here?"

Su Chen found that there was no response inside and said doubtfully.

Xianglan also pushed the door open in confusion. According to her understanding, Ye Sheng should be in the office at this time.

After entering the house, there was no one inside.

"I'll send someone to look for him right away, don't worry yet."

Xianglan comforted her, then walked out of the study and told Xiaozhi: "Go to the house and search quickly. If you meet the city lord, tell him we are waiting for him in the study."

Xiaozhi responded and ran away quickly.

Su Chen was originally going to go out and wait, but the moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a fallen writing brush under the desk.

"Xianglan, come and see!"

Xianglan was suddenly startled, rushed into the study, and came to the desk with Su Chen.

A roll of official documents was unfolded on the desk, and there were many marks in it. It was obviously the official document that Ye Sheng was dealing with, but before he finished reviewing the official document, the writing brush fell to the ground and the person disappeared.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

At this moment, Xiaozhi and the housekeeper hurried over from outside the study.

"Madam, someone just sent a letter, saying that you should open it in person, and that it is about the Lord of the City."

The housekeeper handed a folded letter to Pandan.

"The city lord is in my hands. If you want him to survive, bring ten million taels of silver to the stone bridge outside the city to replace him. I will give you half an hour and you are not allowed to report to the official, otherwise you will wait to collect his body.

!”

After Xianglan finished reading, her whole body couldn't stop trembling, and she almost fainted from fright.

"Ye Sheng... was kidnapped!"

Su Chen took the letter and glanced at it, then frowned immediately.

"You hurry up and prepare the banknotes. I'll go find my master and meet at the city gate in a moment."

"Okay, go quickly and take out all the money in the accounting room."

Xianglan looked at Su Chen's back as he rushed out, and suddenly felt a little comfort in her heart. In her impression, the young master could cope with all difficulties. In such critical moments, Su Chen was her biggest support.

A moment later, Su Chen returned to the courtyard, but Han Hao was not here. He remembered that when Han Hao left, he said that he wanted to go to the wine city again. It would be too late to go to the city to look for him now.

In desperation, he had no choice but to search all the way out of the city, looking for the places where he was most likely to go. Unfortunately, he was not there.

The moment he learned that Ye Sheng had been kidnapped, he immediately inferred that the person who kidnapped Ye Sheng was probably the money leader of the Disha Gang.

The reason why Ye Sheng became the city lord was because they captured Lin Xu, and Lin Xu was the fateful brother of Gang Leader Qian. Although Lin Xu died in the hands of Wei Yan in the end, Wei Yan had the Golden Lion Martial Arts School and the Lion King behind him.

There were many masters in the city gang, and Gang Leader Qian did not dare to offend easily, so he had no choice but to put the blame on Ye Sheng.

Recently, he was expelled from the city by the Golden Lion Martial Arts School. He must have wanted to kidnap the city lord to make a fortune and go to other places to make a living.

Gang Leader Qian is a first-class warrior, and Su Chen knows that he is no match. Even if he invites Xia Jinhu, it will not help. The only one who can safely rescue Ye Sheng from Gang Leader Qian is his master, Han Hao. But at this time, the master doesn't know where to run.

went.

"Where is your master?"

Xianglan hurried to the city gate with a bundle, followed by Xiaozhi and the housekeeper Lao Cheng.

"I didn't find him."

"Then what should we do? We don't have that much money at all. The total here is only two million taels."

Ye Sheng has not been the city lord for a long time, and the mansion does not have that much savings.

Xiaozhi said anxiously: "How about I go find General Xia."

Su Chen calmly replied: "It's useless. If my guess is correct, the person who captured the city lord is the Qian Gang Leader of the Disha Gang. Even if General Xia comes, there is no guarantee that the city lord can be rescued."

"Chief Qian! A first-rate warrior! It's over... What should we do?"

Xiaozhi and the housekeeper Lao Cheng were shocked. In their understanding, first-class warriors were very terrifying existences.

Just when the two of them were panicking, Xianglan was surprisingly calm, because he saw that Su Chen was not panicking, which meant that the young master must have something else to do.

Su Chen took a deep breath, first looked at Xiaozhi, and then at the housekeeper Lao Cheng, and asked: "Steward Cheng, are you willing to take a risk for the sake of the city lord?"

Butler Cheng was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

"If anything happens, let me do it!"

Xianglan said first.

However, Su Chen shook his head and explained: "You can't go, you have to go with me to see Gang Leader Qian. If he doesn't see you, he won't believe me."

"I am willing, even if I risk my life for the Lord of the City, I am willing."

Butler Cheng made a decision after a brief inner struggle.

He was not a beggar who was taken in by Xianglan in the courtyard, but a scholar who had taken the exam for many years but still failed to pass. He spent half his life pursuing his dream of becoming an official, but in the end he achieved nothing. When he gave up the exam, his family

They had all left him, and he had to make a living by copying books for others. Later, he met Ye Sheng who appreciated him and wanted to accept him as a scribe. He was extremely moved.

But now he has completely given up taking exams, so he has become a housekeeper and no longer touches the pen.

"Master Wang, Madam can't go, but I can go!"

Xiaozhi also stepped forward and volunteered.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "This is hard work and your legs are not strong enough."

After speaking, he told Butler Cheng about the specific mission, but he did not tell Xianglan about his other plans. He only told him that after meeting Gang Leader Qian, he would listen to him in everything.

,,

It was half an hour before I received the letter.

Su Chen, Xianglan and Xiaozhi arrived at the stone bridge outside the city.

The stone bridge outside the wine city is not far from the city gate, but it is not on the main road, so there are few people coming and going.

At this moment, a man covered in black robes squatted beside the stone bridge. In his right hand, he placed a large sack half as tall as a man.

When the man in black robe saw the arrival of Xianglan and the others, he chuckled and said, "Madam is indeed loyal to the city lord as rumored, and she is willing to exchange ten million taels of silver notes for him. It's really touching."

Suddenly, he first caught a glimpse of Su Chen wearing a mask, and then found that they were not wearing anything, and his tone immediately became serious.

"Who is he? Where is the banknote I want?"

Su Chen took the initiative to step forward and replied: "I am Wang Chen, the bodyguard of the city lord. You have captured the city lord, so I naturally want to come over and make amends."
