Chapter 15: Men in Black

"Junior sister, isn't that the boy named Shen Kuang?"

Nan Qiao was enjoying the night view along the Luoshui coast when he suddenly heard Senior Sister Ciyin sitting beside her speak.

Following the direction pointed by her senior sister, she suddenly spotted Shen Kuang in the crowd, the young man who went to Yunmeng Mountain two days ago. At this time, he was accompanied by a little girl.

"His injuries seem to have healed." Nan Qiao murmured to himself. She still vividly remembered the way Shen Kuang was beaten that day , but within two days, he had already recovered. She was a little surprised.

Thinking of this, Nan Qiao couldn't help but think of the pill he handed over before going down the mountain that day. It seems that there is no grudge between them. She has always had mixed feelings about Shen Kuang. The bad half came from the marriage proposal he talked about with his master that day. When he thought of Nan Qiao, he felt that he was a bad person.

Naturally, Ciyin also saw Shiyu who was following Shen Kuang. Although Shen Kuang and the others were downstairs, they were not far away from the two of them. They could see more clearly from their height. When he saw that Shigure was a cute little girl, Ciyin muttered, "This bad boy even asked his uncle to marry him a few days ago. Today he is going to play with other girls, hmph!"

Nan Qiao knew about Senior Sister Ciyin 's outspoken nature, so he didn't care about what she said.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. It has nothing to do with me which girl he hangs out with!"

Hearing Nan Qiao's words, Ci Yin knew that she had spoken out of turn, so she smiled and slapped her lips and said , " Pooh ! Pooh ! Junior Sister is so outstanding, how could she not look down on him!"

After saying that, she changed the subject and said, "However, I saw yesterday that Uncle Shi seemed to have a good impression of him. Come to think of it, he is also a good person. He did not fall down even after being taught a lesson by Uncle Shi a few days ago. By the way, what is Junior Sister's impression of him?"

Today, Senior Sister Ciyin asked again, and Nanqiao was no longer as flustered as when the master mentioned it that day. The master's tone was somewhat joking, but Senior Sister Ciyin was not like that. Nanqiao could hear that it was concern.

She thought for a moment and said calmly, "I actually don't hate him that much. But if I say I have a good impression of him, I can't say I have a moderate impression."

Ciyin heard this and nodded. It's fair to say that the junior sister has not had much contact with the other party. It would be too early to talk about this at this time, and the identity of the junior master is also a hurdle. But if it is really possible for the two of them, with that person's reputation as Master Sword God, the General's Mansion will not feel that he has lost his reputation. Of course, all this depends on what the two of them mean.

The two of them were upstairs, and after talking some more about Shen Kuang, they changed the topic to tonight's matter.

Ciyin went down the mountain with some junior sisters to buy the goods today. On the way back, she met Nan Qiao and heard Nan Qiao talk about Jian Tiansi's arrest of the criminal, so she wanted to help the junior sisters, so she asked several junior sisters to help her. The junior sister went back to Yunmeng Mountain first, while she stayed behind. However, from nightfall to now, the city has always been a peaceful scene, without any sign of thieves causing trouble.

Shen Kuang and Shi Yu walked along the river bank. When they saw a candy seller here, he smiled and said to Shi Yu , "Would you like one?" Shi Yu looked at it intently and then stopped. He nodded slowly and agreed. Perhaps he felt a little embarrassed, so he agreed in a very low voice.

"Old man, here are two candy men." Shen Kuang said to the store owner with a smile.

"Okay, sir, take three pennies a piece!"

Shen Kuang and Shi Yu had just taken the candy and before they started eating, they suddenly heard the sound of commotion not far ahead. Many people were moving to both sides to get out of the way. After a while, the voice got closer and closer to Shen Kuang and the others, and only then did he hear the man's shout clearly, "The Supervisor Tiansi is handling the case, everyone else is waiting to get out of the way."

The man's tone was full of unquestionable orders. Without waiting for Shen Kuang to react, the group of people were already in front of them in the next second. Shen Kuang hurriedly pulled Shigure to the side. Shiguang's movements were a little slower, and one of the people who ran past him actually hit him directly. The whip whipped.

The whip came so fast that Shigure was subconsciously afraid to lower his head. Thanks to Shen Kuang's timely reaction, he used the scabbard to fly away, which prevented Shigure from being hurt.

Among the people who came, the leader was a woman dressed in black official uniform, with a brown hat on her head, a pair of gilt boots, and a flying fish embroidered on the chest of her coat. Although she was a woman, she had an appearance that was not inferior to that of a man. heroic spirit. Just from his appearance, Shen Kuang could tell that the other party was probably a court official.

The man who took action just now was one of the few people following the woman. He didn't seem to expect that Shen Kuang would fight back. He wanted to whip his whip and hit her again, but the leading woman shouted in a low voice, "It's important to chase the suspect, don't delay. Big deal!”

After saying that, she glanced at Shen Kuang, then hurried away with a few subordinates.

On the pavilion.

"The people from Supervisor Tiansi have been dispatched. It seems that the person to be arrested is nearby." The person who spoke was Ci Yin who had been paying attention to the movements tonight. As soon as she finished speaking, she and Nan Qiao quickly left the small building following the footsteps of Jian Tiansi and others .

Shen Kuang didn't care about such an incident. After comforting Shigure for a few words, he continued to play. Only this time, Shigure stayed very close to him. He must have been frightened by the scene just now.

Shen Kuang didn't know if it was an illusion. With his peripheral vision, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the seventh lady of the General's Mansion and the person he had seen on Yunmeng Mountain that day on the distant floor. However, the two figures disappeared in a flash. Couldn't see clearly.

After thinking about it, I felt that it wasn't that important whether they were there, so I stopped thinking about it. However, the feeling of playing before was disturbed by those people just now, so looking at it now, he and Shigure were not very interested.

both sides of the Luoshui River was still there, and the poetry, singing and dancing were generally in high spirits at this time, but they could no longer attract their interest. After wandering around for half an hour, when the moon came over the willow trees, I decided to go back with Shigure.

It is different from the bustle here in Changlefang. Walking back along Yongfeng Street, the further you go, the lively atmosphere on the street becomes a bit weaker . On the contrary, the surrounding restaurants are brightly lit and the sounds of changing glasses are heard. They also come and go, reflecting the atmosphere of the festival.

After leaving there, Shiyu slowly regained her smile, talking about the beautiful things she saw at night and the candy man Shen Kuang bought her. She smiled and said that she also wanted to make a beautiful lantern to put in her own boudoir. Seeing that the cute and playful little girl was back, Shen Kuang gave up the idea of beating up the group of people, sighed about the security of the big city, and chased Shiyu ahead.

The lights were slowly fading, and only some lanterns were still shining brightly on the street. The little girl was afraid of the dark, so she stayed close to him all the way. If a dog barks suddenly on the street, it will frighten Shigure into screaming for a while.

The two of them walked slowly along Yongfeng Street in the alcohol-free direction. After a while, they heard a bang coming from the alley. Although the voice was low, it was enough to attract the attention of the two people. Both Shen Kuang and Shigure were startled, and their eyes looked deep into the alley to the left. However, the moonlight could not reach that side, and there was no lantern light, so They didn't know what the sound was.

The two of them stood by the street for a while, and when they saw that there was no more noise coming from the alley, Shen Kuang couldn't help but wanted to step forward to have a look, and Shigure followed him.

After walking a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, almost reaching the place where the sound had just come from, Shen Kuang stretched his head and stared straight ahead, trying to see if he could see clearly with the faint moonlight.

After watching for a while, he saw nothing else, but saw a bright long sword thrust from behind the bamboo basket in the corner. Shen Kuang had quick eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly took a few steps back. The long sword stabbed into the air. It fell to the ground with a clang. The faint smell of blood slowly spread into their noses. As a doctor, Shigure smelled it first, so he said, "Brother Shen, there is the smell of blood. This person is injured!"

Shen Kuang also felt that the sword thrust by the opponent just now was weak and weak. From such a close distance, according to common sense, he had been injured. He also smelled the smell of blood, and slowly he even heard a rustling sound, which was the person crawling.

Shen Kuang didn't know who the other party was, so for safety reasons, he asked Shi Yu to lean back. He took two steps forward and looked behind the bamboo basket.

Behind the bamboo basket, there was a man in night clothes lying against the wall. When Shen Kuang turned around and looked over, the man just took out a dagger, but this time he did not stab Shen Kuang, but held it against him. On his own neck.

Shen Kuang was startled and rushed over, pinched his wrist and snatched the dagger away. When the man saw this, he bit Shen Kuang's hand regardless. Shen Kuang suddenly felt a pain coming from his hand. The man bit hard, and he gasped in pain.

"Hi~, Your Excellency, we are not bad people."

Shiyu shouted worriedly after hearing Shen Kuang's painful moans .

In the dark night, after hearing Shiguang's voice, the person who bit Shen Kuang didn't bite harder. He slowly let go of his mouth and said in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

It was a woman's voice, maybe because of the injury, so her tone of voice was very weak, but even so, the coldness and calmness mixed in the words could still be felt.

The woman let go, and Shen Kuang quickly withdrew his hand and rubbed it. His hand was bitten by the opponent with a row of neat tooth marks, and his hand was also bitten and bleeding.

"Don't get me wrong, sir. We just came back from Changlefang and passed by here. We heard a noise in the alley and came in to take a look." Shen Kuang said reluctantly.

For a moment, after realizing that the woman was not in any danger, Shen Kuang called for Shigure to come over. "Shigure, come and see her, she's injured."

worrying behind him , but when he heard Shen Kuang's words, he ran over with small steps. Facing the weak moonlight, Shen Kuang could see that most of the woman's upper body was wet with blood. Even though she was wearing night clothes, the strong smell of blood lingered.

Because she was weak and had just fought with Shen Kuang, the woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength. At this time, her lips were frighteningly white, her eyes were slowly losing focus, and she could no longer say a word.

After checking the other party's injuries, Shiyu said anxiously, "Brother Shen, we have to take her back quickly. She lost too much blood and will die if she doesn't get treatment!"
