When night fell, the city lord's mansion in Yong'an City also began to become quiet.
In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, An Xuan sat in front of the desk, looking coldly at a fat middle-aged woman who was kneeling in front of the desk.
Deputy City Manager Zhang Wenxing was also sitting on a stool on the side.
I saw that the woman was dressed up in a fancy way, with heavy makeup and flashy clothes. She was none other than Zheng Sanniang, the former madam of Jade Tower in Ba Jian City!
At this time, Zheng Sanniang was trembling and kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.
She raised her head slightly, glanced at the cold-faced An Xuan, and said cautiously: "City Lord An, I really can't find out their origins! It's like they appeared in Bajian City out of thin air! Although I
I have been in the Jade Tower of Bajian City for a long time, but I rarely get to meet the leader of the battle hall, Xue Luohua, let alone the city lord Xiao Nan!"
An Xuan said coldly: "Do you know where the rumor that Xiao Nan was killed came from?"
Zheng Sanniang lowered her head and said: "There are no clues about this. I just followed the wishes of City Lord An and Deputy City Lord Zhang and secretly added fuel to the flames."
An Xuan looked at Zheng Sanniang with some boredom, snorted coldly, and said: "You useless piece of trash, get out of here!"
Zheng Sanniang immediately jumped up as if she had received an amnesty. She did not dare to look at An Xuan and Zhang Wenxing. She lowered her head and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
An Xuan said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang, you suspect that the death of your brother Zhang Junlin is related to Bajian City. It was Bajian City's revenge for our attack on their ore transportation team, but there is no evidence. And those in black
The robbers not only attacked and killed Zhang Junlin, but also attacked and killed the caravans in other cities at that time, except Wuling City and Bajian City."
Zhang Wenxing said: "Those elusive black-clad robbers have disappeared for a while now, and it is indeed difficult to trace them. But I still think Bajian City is the most suspected, because there are some coincidences related to Bajian City, and
That old guy Xuanyuan Lie in Wuling City doesn’t have the guts yet.”
An Xuan nodded and began to think deeply. After a while, he said again: "Let's wait until the autumn hunting is over. One month is coming soon, and I don't know what the warriors of Yong'an City can gain from it."
Zhang Wenxing stopped talking, bowed, and left.
In the darkness in the corner of Anxuan's study, a shadow quietly clung to Zhang Wenxing's back. They walked out of the door together and then disappeared in a flash.
An Xuan and Zhang Wenxing didn't notice anything.
At night in Yong'an City, without the bustle of the day, everything seemed to have fallen silent.
Zheng Sanniang quickly left the city lord's palace and got on a sedan parked on the roadside. Only then did her nervousness slowly calm down.
The surrounding streets were dimly lit.
The sedan was lifted and started to set off.
Zheng Sanniang lifted a corner of the curtain beside the sedan window and looked outside. She saw that it was dimly lit and there were few pedestrians outside.
She breathed a sigh of relief and then realized that the clothes on her back were wet with cold sweat and were cold.
The city lord and deputy city lord put too much pressure on her.
In their eyes, she was just a little chess piece that could be discarded at any time after being used.
Zheng Sanniang gently lowered the curtain, and when she turned around, she suddenly saw with horror on her face that a woman with an unusually pale face was sitting next to her, staring at her coldly!
This woman is none other than the oiran of Cuiyu Tower, Miss Yu Xiaoqin!
Zheng Sanniang's heart seemed to have jumped into her throat, and she couldn't help but scream loudly in fear. She closed her eyes tightly and huddled in a corner, trembling.
The two bearers carrying the sedan heard the screams and stopped the sedan. One of them lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?"
Zheng Sanniang was so frightened that she opened her eyes, but saw nothing in the sedan. Everything just seemed to be an illusion.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zheng Sanniang whispered: "Maybe I was too nervous and had a hallucination just now. I'm fine now. Let's keep walking."
After a long time, the sedan finally stopped in front of a small courtyard. Zheng Sanniang paid some money to the sedan bearers, and the two bearers left.
There were no more accidents along the way. Zheng Sanniang felt completely relaxed when she saw home.
Just when she stepped forward and was about to open the door, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps behind her.
Someone walked behind her, and she could feel that the person behind her was looking at her intensely!
Zheng Sanniang's heart trembled, and the hands pressing on her door began to tremble. She didn't dare to look back, pushed the door open suddenly, and ducked in.
"boom!"
Zheng Sanniang quickly closed the door.
The moment the door closed, she saw the person standing outside the door through the crack of the door. It was the woman with an unusually pale face, Yu Xiaoqin!
Moreover, Yu Xiaoqin showed a weird smile towards her!
Zheng Sanniang's heart was beating loudly. She collapsed on the ground through the door and cried out: "Miss Yu Xiaoqin, I was forced to kill you in a sneak attack! Please don't look for me again!"
"
There was no sound outside the door, it was quiet.
Zheng Sanniang continued to cry and shouted: "The dagger that killed you was given to me by Zhang Junlin, and he also smeared poison on it! Please, if you want to find it, go to him and don't come to me again!"
After a while, there was still no movement outside the door. Zheng Sanniang lay on the crack of the door and glanced outside.
There was nothing outside, Yu Xiaoqin had disappeared.
Zheng Sanniang slowly stood up holding the door. Her fat body had some difficulty in moving. After she stood up, she clasped her hands together and bowed several times to the door. She murmured: "Please, no."
Come to me again, don’t come to me again!”
After a few bows, she turned around and was about to walk into the yard, but she almost ran into someone's arms!
At the same time, a cold voice came into her ears: "If you do too many bad things, you will be punished!"
Zheng Sanniang was frightened in her heart. When she looked up, she was so frightened that all her souls flew away!
Then, a shrill scream suddenly came out, piercing the silent night sky!
In front of Zheng Sanniang, Yu Xiaoqin was seen tilting her head, with a sly smile on her face, bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and blood stains on her body. There was also a dagger prominently inserted in her chest and heart!
Zheng Sanniang fell to the ground, her eyes widened, and her face was full of horror. Her fat body shook violently for a while, and a smell of urine rose into the sky, and then a large string of white foam gurgled from the corner of her mouth.
came out.
Yu Xiaoqin stepped forward and took a look, and found that Zheng Sanniang was lying limply on the ground and had no breathing. She was actually scared to death!
Yu Xiaoqin smiled coldly, her face changed, and turned into Xiao Nan's appearance. A gust of wind blew, and her figure dispersed and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Wenxing returned to his own mansion from the city lord's mansion. He was restless all the way, always feeling that something was about to happen to him.
He went to his study and sat quietly for a while, still feeling uneasy.
Sure enough, just when he got up and wanted to rest, a figure suddenly floated in from outside the door.
Yes, it floated in, not walked in normally.
He was shocked, looked up, and saw clearly that the person who came in was actually his dead brother Zhang Junlin!
I saw that Zhang Junlin's figure was a little illusory, his face was pale, and there was a blood hole between his eyebrows, and blood was flowing out. His appearance was very sad.
Although Zhang Wenxing was shocked for a while, he was not afraid. He quickly reacted, stood up, walked to Zhang Junlin, and said, "Junlin, is your soul back?"
Zhang Junlin nodded, but just looked at Zhang Wenxing and did not speak.
Zhang Wenxing was confused and wanted to reach out and touch Zhang Junlin's body.
Zhang Junlin stepped back, turned around and floated out. After going out, his body turned into black energy and blended into the surrounding darkness.
When Zhang Wenxing went out, Zhang Junlin had already disappeared.
At noon the next day, people discovered Zheng Sanniang's stiffened body.
An Xuan and Zhang Wenxing also received the news of Zheng Sanniang's sudden and inexplicable death, and they couldn't help but be surprised. However, after some investigation, they did not know the cause of death, so they had to temporarily list it as an unsolved case.
Bajian City, City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Nan was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, and suddenly slowly opened his eyes and murmured to himself: "This inner demon comes and goes like lightning, silently, and can change into various forms. It is really a perfect sneak attack and assassination."
What a great weapon! It’s a pity that he can only scare people now, but he can’t hurt them. Maybe he can wait until his body becomes solid in the future.”
Suddenly, Xiao Nan discovered something that shocked him!
The spiritual power in his body has almost been exhausted!
Moreover, his limbs also became withered, and when he touched his face, his face was full of wrinkles, and many of his hairs turned from black to white!
His body seemed to have aged much overnight, turning into a haggard old man!
He didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't help but panic.
He thought about this night, he hadn't done anything at all, how could he suddenly become like this?
Xiao Nan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Suddenly, he thought of the incarnation of his inner demon. If there was a problem, the only possibility was this incarnation of the inner demon!
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Nan stretched out his right hand. With a thought in his mind, a black light suddenly flashed in his hand. A black mist suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand, and then turned into a dark sword and appeared in his hand.
It is the God-Slaying Demonic Sword!
Xiao Nan slammed the God-Destroying Devil Sword on the ground twice and called out: "Senior Yu, Senior Yu!"
A black energy floated up from the God-Slaying Devil Sword and turned into a figure, which was Yu Ge's incomplete soul.
Yu Ge asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Nan said depressedly: "Look at how my body became like this?"
Yu Ge glanced at him indifferently and said nonchalantly: "You over-consumed your body's spiritual power and blood essence, so it naturally became like this!"
Xiao Nan felt happy that finally someone knew the reason, and hurriedly asked: "How can I recover?"
