Everyone in the inn stared at him, and the waiter hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen him before, he's in the backyard."
The man in the portrait gave him a full gold crystal coin. Of course the waiter would not forget it and said: "But..."
When the middle-aged general heard this, he opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"But just now the Beast Horse Thieves came in and were fighting fiercely in the backyard. I don't know exactly what happened. It has calmed down now, but we don't dare to go in to check." The waiter quickly replied.
"Beast Horse Thieves Group?"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged general, and he immediately led his people to rush to the room where Luo Ning was. When they stopped, they were stunned. There was blood and corpses everywhere.
Moreover, the middle-aged general concluded at a glance that all the corpses were members of the Beast Horse Thieves Group.
After being shocked, the middle-aged general's eyes gradually shifted to the only living master and servant Luo Ning.
"What happened? Who slaughtered all the beasts and horse thieves? And where is the man in the portrait?"
Three questions in a row, the situation in front of him was completely beyond the middle-aged general's expectation.
Luo Ning raised her head and unexpectedly stared at the portrait in the middle-aged general's hand. It was actually the terrifying man who had just left.
The next moment, Luo Ning smiled and chuckled: "Isn't this General Qiu Yeqiu? I am Luo Ning from Luoshui Trading Company in Yunzhou City, has General Qiu forgotten?"
She didn't answer any questions, but made connections first.
She recognized the middle-aged general in front of her as Qiu Ye, the general who defended Yunye City.
I had dealt with him when I was doing business in Yunyecheng.
Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, his expression softened slightly and he asked: "It turns out to be Miss Luo, what's going on?"
After pondering, Luo Ningcai explained with a smile: "I am negotiating with Miss Lei Shuang of Leiying Trading Company here. Unexpectedly, the Beast Horse Thief Group suddenly came in and kidnapped Miss Lei Shuang and me..."
"During the crisis, it was the man in the portrait who saved me."
When Luo Ning said this, she looked deeply at Qiu Ye and felt a little nervous. Some of the above words were made up randomly.
"Why?"
Qiu Ye's face was full of doubts, this was different from what he imagined.
I originally thought that the criminal had colluded with the Beast Horse Thieves Group to rob Luo Ning.
The ferocious horse thieves were rampant in this area and often robbed large merchants, so Qiu Ye had no doubts about Luo Ning's words. What he was curious about was why the criminal wanted to save Luo Ning.
"It's like this. The man in the portrait came to me to buy back a jade hairpin, and he happened to encounter a gang of beasts and horse thieves, so he took action." Luo Ning organized her thoughts before explaining.
Except for Lei Shuang, everyone else is telling the truth.
After explaining, Luo Ning asked again: "General Qiu, who is this man? He looks so powerful."
With full expectation in her eyes, she really wanted to know the specific identity of Sikong Jing.
Why is he so scary?
Because of Luo Ning's identity, Qiu Ye basically believed her explanation and replied: "His name is Sikong Jing, he is a felon who was exiled to Yunye City, and he was also personally granted a marriage to the second son of the Su family by the Lord of Yunzhou.
Miss……"
Following Qiu Ye's explanation, Luo Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It turns out that his name is Sikong Jing, and he is an exiled criminal who was given the marriage to the ugliest woman in Yunzhou in recent legends. Yet he actually ventured out of the city for that ugly woman just to recover the jade hairpin.
This made her unbelievable. Shouldn't he hate ugly wives?
"I'm afraid only the Lord of Yunzhou knows the specific identity before being exiled, but we also pay special attention to it."
"Does Miss Luo know where he is now?"
Qiu Ye asked in return, the fact that a criminal whom the Lord of Yunzhou personally granted a marriage to had escaped from the city was not a small matter for him.
Suddenly, Luo Ning smiled again and replied: "Don't worry, General Qiu. He must have gone back to Yunye City. He only left the city to buy back the jade hairpin his wife had in my hands."
Speaking of this, Luo Ning's mind suddenly moved.
She picked up the one hundred gold crystal coins that Sikong Jing dropped on the ground and handed them to Qiu Ye.
"General Qiu, all the beasts and horse thieves are dead. This is your credit..."
Luo Ning narrowed her eyes and asked, "But can we say that Sikong Jing was also involved and he also had part of the credit?"
It was obvious that Sikong Jing should have killed the beasts and horse thieves, but in the current situation, Qiu Ye would definitely take the credit for himself, and even if Sikong Jing returned to the city, he would still have to face the punishment of forcing his way out of the city.
Therefore, Luo Ning suddenly thought of such a move just to thank Sikong Jing for his life-saving grace.
Qiu Ye moved slightly, slowly took the gold crystal coin and said, "Then we still have to see if this criminal has gone back."
After saying that, Qiu Ye quickly pocketed the money and ordered: "Leave half of the people to deal with the body, and the others go back with me."
"By the way, General Qiu, Miss Lei Shuang was also killed by the Beast Horse Thieves. If there is anything, please help me testify."
Luo Ning's voice sounded in Qiu Ye's ears again.
Staring at her, Qiu Ye nodded slightly and disappeared from Luo Ning's sight in an instant.
Luo Ning breathed out secretly: "Exiled criminal, son-in-law of the Su family in Yunye City, husband of the ugliest woman in Yunzhou, this person is really mysterious...and he indirectly helped me."
His eyes fell on Lei Shuang's body.
It was precisely because General Qiu Ye was chasing him that she was able to blame Lei Shuang's death on the Beast Horse Thieves.
"However, I also helped him. I wonder if he will thank me?" Luo Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, looking forward to it.
…
On the official road in the dark night, Sikong Jing was overtaken by Qiu Ye who was returning the same way.
And he didn't resist at all. If he forced himself out of the city, he would definitely cause trouble. This was what Sikong Jing had expected.
However, he also thought of a countermeasure.
However, when Sikong Jing heard Qiu Ye's words, he was stunned.
"General Qiu means that the credit for slaughtering the beasts and horse thieves should go to you?"
Only then did Sikong Jing find out that the bearded man hired by Lei Shuang, nicknamed the Beast, was a group of horse thieves running rampant near Yunye City.
"Yes, the credit goes to me, and I will give you a share of the credit as well. I promise that it was my idea for you to force your way out of the city."
"The purpose is to lure the beasts and horse thieves to take the bait."
There was a hint of threat in Qiu Ye's eyes. If this criminal dared not agree, then don't blame yourself for being rude.,
The victory in wiping out the ferocious beasts and horse thieves is not a small feat and must not be missed.
Shrugging, Sikong Jing agreed to such a good thing without hesitation and nodded: "No problem."
In this way, he reached a deal with Qiu Ye.
Afterwards, Qiu Ye personally sent someone to take him back to Yunye City. On the way, Sikong Jing couldn't help but flash Luo Ning's look, and said secretly: "It seems this was her idea."
Sikong Jing was not surprised by this. After all, Luo Ning needed an excuse to deal with Lei Shuang's death.
But this idea did save me a lot of trouble...
When Sikong Jing returned to Yunye City, it was already dawn.
Under the watch of the city guards, he quickly returned to the Su Mansion. It was time to return the servants' wages.
