The full sun sank over the western mountains, and the sky became dark.
Outside Yuexian Tower, a girl wearing a warm jade white silk dress was looking into the distance, with a look of worry in her gentle eyes, and she kept stamping her steps and looked a little panicked.
Finally, the little girl in light yellow dark clothes ran over with brisk steps, held her hand, and said excitedly: "Miss, I have found out clearly that Mr. Tang's bookstore is called Jiran Bookstore, how about it?"
Are you happy?"
Jiang Ran glanced at her angrily, pinched Jiu'er's ears, and turned to the other side: "What time is it? After the curfew, we will have to sleep on the streets!"
"Huh? Are you afraid of sleeping on the street, or are you afraid that someone will worry you?" Jiu'er didn't care about the pain in his ears at all. He covered his mouth and snickered twice, but before he took a few steps, he covered his mouth and complained: "
Mr. Tang, it’s true, no matter how busy the bookshop is when it opens, we can’t be forgotten!”
"You, it's just that you've been riding too many carriages these days, so you've become lazy!" Jiang Ran pulled her, quickened her pace, and walked towards the spacious, quiet street.
Just when Jiu'er was about to continue musing, a voice suddenly came from the alley beside the two of them: "Really? Then I wonder if you two ladies want to take my young master's carriage?"
Jiang Ran was very familiar with this sound, and secretly said "No," and pulled Jiu'er forward at full speed, but in a blink of an eye, he saw several strong men walking out on the road ahead.
Lin Zican walked out calmly. He had a bad experience at Jiran Bookstore today. In the afternoon, he found a restaurant to get drunk. He didn't plan to go home until the sun went down. Who knew that he happened to pass by Yuexian Tower?
When he discovered that Jiang Ran had not left, he felt that this was God's compensation for him. He couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Jiang, we are really destined. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite you to the Lin Mansion?"
Jiang Ran knew the other party's dirty thoughts, so he held Jiu'er's hand tightly, took a few steps back, pretended to be calm and said: "It's getting late today, so I'd better not bother you. I'll visit Young Master Lin another day, little girl."
Hearing that he was rejected again, Lin Zican stopped pretending and showed a sinister smile: "Miss Jiang can't control this."
Immediately, he raised his hand and waved twice, and his men on both sides of the street walked towards the two of them in a surrounding manner.
At the critical moment, Jiu'er scanned around and selected a fork in the path. He suddenly raised his legs and kicked the two men who were coming towards him to the ground.
The two people didn't expect that the weak-looking little girl could have such strength. They were about to teach each other a lesson, but when they came to their senses, they only saw them slipping into the alley.
Lin Zican stomped his feet angrily on the spot and said angrily: "You idiots, why don't you hurry up and chase me!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately chased after him.
Jiuer ran into the alley with Jiang Ran. He originally wanted to shout for help, but found that it was a deserted alley, with nothing else but a few stray dogs gathering in a certain yard.
After jogging for a while, she turned around and took a look and found that the Lin family guards had caught up with her, and her young lady's pace was getting slower and slower. She said anxiously: "Miss, how about I carry you on my back?"
"No, you go quickly and find Tang Ji." Jiang Ran didn't want to be a burden and wanted to throw her hand away, but the little girl held her hand tighter.
"Miss, even if you die, Jiu'er will not let them bully you!" Jiu'er's tone was extremely firm, and his eyes turned to the front. When he realized that the end of this path was the main road connecting the north and south cities, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He continued: "Miss, in front of us is Huaikang Street. If we are lucky, we will definitely meet the soldiers patrolling the street."
After listening to her words, Jiang Ran, who was breathing heavily, seemed to gain motivation and speed up again.
Just as the two were about to leave the street, an overturned carriage suddenly slid from the main road and hit the courtyard wall at the corner. The horse connected to the carriage was then pierced by a wooden stake.
His body was broken, blood splattered everywhere, and his death was extremely tragic.
"Ah!" the two women exclaimed, and their steps slowed down unconsciously.
Although Jiu'er has been practicing martial arts for many years, his hands have never been stained with blood. He was still a little scared when he saw this scene. However, he turned his head and looked at the Lin family guards approaching in the distance. He clenched his hands into fists and was ready to die. He was about to persuade Jiang.
Ran continued to run for his life, but saw a tired figure running from the main road, and felt hope again: "Master Tang!"
When Tang Ji saw the two girls, he became even more nervous and shouted: "Let's go!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people dressed in black and with their faces covered landed on the wall and surrounded the three of them.
In an instant, these assassins took action together, their swords pointed directly at Tang Ji, but they were interrupted by a figure who flashed out and swung his sword.
"Qiang~"
Pang Qing's tiger body shook and pushed back the besieging assassins. Before he could take a breath, a long sword stabbed at him.
"Your opponent is me!" A nimble man fell down from the wall. After a low roar, he struggled with Pang Qing again and entered the street on the other side.
Seeing this situation, Jiu'er asked, "Mr. Tang, what is going on?"
"I don't know, they were killed on the way, don't say so much, let's go first!" Tang Ji explained a few words casually, and was about to lead them to the other side of the trail, but he found several figures rushing towards him from a distance.
, puzzled: "Have you encountered it too?"
Before the two women could explain, Lin Zican gasped and shouted: "Run, run, why don't you run?"
As he spoke, the fallen assassins got up again and turned to stare at the guards of the Lin Mansion warily.
The strong man standing next to Lin Zican realized that something was wrong and quickly reminded: "Master, this is not one of ours!"
Lin Zican, who was still laughing, suddenly became quiet. He looked at the weapon in the opponent's hand, swallowed, and asked, "Then who are they?"
"Kill!" The assassins thought for a moment, mistaking Lin Zican for Tang Ji's reinforcements, and raised their swords to chop him down.
The guards of the Lin Mansion were shouting and killing all day long, but in fact they only knew how to show off their skills. Seeing that their own lives were threatened, they stopped caring and fled back the same way. In their hearts, they also scolded Lin Zican for his incompetence.
Lin Zican watched the body of the nearby guard being stabbed with a knife. His legs weakened and he collapsed on the spot. He trembled and kowtowed: "Spare your life, spare your life. My father is the richest businessman in Yunhuai. You can give me as much money as you want."
Okay, don’t kill me, don’t kill me..."
The second leader of the assassins touched the back of his head. He couldn't believe the strength of these reinforcements. He turned around and planned to kill the target person first, but found that Tang Ji had already slipped towards the main street with Jiang Ran. He quickly charged up his legs and jumped down.
One jump: "Where to run!"
Hearing the sound, other assassins also chased after him.
Just like that, the three people who had just ran to the main street were once again surrounded by assassins. The second leader snorted coldly and said: "It was me who took the last slap last time. I never thought you would survive, but
Not so lucky this time!"
After hearing these words, Tang Ji finally knew the true origin of the other party, but at this time it was too late to think too much. Seeing the assassin coming with a sword, he pushed the two women away and said loudly: "Jiu'er, take you with me.
Miss home, run away!"
Jiang Ran's pink face was already covered with tears. Seeing that the sword was about to pierce Tang Ji's heart, her jade eyes widened and she shouted in shock: "No!"
"boom!"
At the critical moment, a long spear pierced the night sky and cut the long sword in half, followed by a sassy female voice that reached everyone's ears.
"How can we allow you to be so arrogant in Yunhuai City!"
