Chapter 143 Villa
He Yizhou saw this at Chaoyang Gate and quickly led a group of people to Dongzhi Gate.
With blood on his face, Lu Linfeng cut the ropes of the carriage, climbed over the horse's back, and blew a whistle behind him.
The man in black immediately put away his knife and scattered, then jumped onto the roof and escaped.
When He Yizhou arrived on horseback, the city gate was in a mess. He followed Lang Si's horse and chased out of the city gate.
In some dim alley in West City, a horse-drawn carriage swayed past.
Inside the carriage, Xining's mouth was tied with a cloth strap. He used his bound hands to pat Lu Ziqing's face, making humming sounds as if trying to wake him up.
After a while, Lu Ziqing moved in a daze, his eyelids were about to open, and his head swayed with the carriage, bumping against the carriage again and again.
Not long after, the carriage stopped and all that could be heard was the "tapping" sound of raindrops hitting the roof and a few people talking.
"Carry the person in."
"Squeak-"
The carriage door was opened, and two men with ghost-faced masks stood outside the carriage. Xining was so scared that her eyes widened, she screamed, and kept shrinking inside.
The masked man put one leg in the carriage, grabbed Xining's ankle, pulled her out, and carried her on his shoulder.
Lu Ziqing opened his eyes in a daze, his consciousness was not yet fully awake. He felt dizzy and his head was heavy. His stomach was pushed up and he wanted to vomit, and his body was wet and cold.
I kept hearing a woman moaning in my ears, and everything I saw was inverted.
Passing by the back house, the lights in the corridor flashed by. Lu Ziqing blinked hard and realized that he was being carried on someone's shoulders.
He wanted to shout, but found that there was a cloth tied around his mouth and he couldn't move his hands or feet.
Not long after, two masked men walked into a room with bright lights. They walked around the screen, put the person on the bed, and took a few steps back to look him up and down.
"Which one should be sent upstairs?"
The one in gray thought for a moment, then pointed at Xining and said in a muffled voice, "This is it. She has big breasts. The young master likes this kind."
The man in blue chuckled and said enviously, "If we could have a stunner like this, our lives would be worthwhile."
The man in gray chuckled and replied, "If you want to play, wait until the young master and the old master are done playing, then maybe they'll agree."
Xining was filled with fear and crying. Lu Ziqing fell on the bed and slowly sat up, then stood up.
"What are you doing? Sit down."
The man in gray clothes stepped forward to push him, but before he could touch him, he was suddenly knocked back to the table and accidentally knocked over the teapot, spilling tea all over the floor.
"Hey, the little lady is quite fierce."
The man in blue immediately grabbed the man and pushed him back onto the bed, speaking to the person behind him.
"Bring the food over to her."
Lu Ziqing's hands and feet were tied, and she struggled hard. The man in blue held her down tightly, his face flushed red, and he urged the people next to him.
"hurry up!"
The man in gray held a cup of yellow water, knelt at the edge of the bed, pulled open the cloth belt, pinched Lu Ziqing's mouth, and poured the water into his mouth.
It was hard to tell whether the taste was bitter or sour. He turned his face away and coughed violently. He only spoke after he calmed down a little.
"She is...a princess. You'd better let her go."
Xining looked at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that this woman knew him.
"The princess?"
The two looked at each other, and the man in gray snorted and laughed, "She is a princess? Then I am the emperor!"
"Don't waste time talking to him. He's just trying to delay time." The man in blue grabbed Xining and carried her on his shoulders. "I'll take her upstairs first. The young master should be here soon."
The man in gray ordered him, "Go out and call someone in. This woman is very strong and it's hard for me to handle her alone."
Outside the house, a strong wind blew up the rain, and Xiao Yan stood on the street with narrowed eyes, then jumped over the wall, and Yang Zhounan followed behind.
The outer courtyard was bustling with people and a few stone lamps were lit. It was very quiet, with only the sound of wind and rain hitting things. He glanced around and walked in while drawing his knife.
The darkness and the rain covered everything, hiding it all, such as the crossbow that was slowly being set up in the corner.
Xiao Yan walked to the center of the courtyard. Yang Zhounan looked around and whispered, "There are so many rooms, where are they?"
Xiao Yan stared at the gatekeeper in the front row like an eagle and replied, "This is the outer courtyard. It shouldn't be here. Let's go to the inner courtyard."
"Click——"
The sound of the crossbow trigger being pulled was very small, but it was extremely sensitive to Xiao Yan. He whispered urgently, "There's a crossbow arrow. Get out of the way!"
Then, he and Yang Zhounan suddenly stepped on the ground and turned around. In a flash, short arrows hit the stone surface continuously.
Xiao Yan wiped the rain off his face and heard a series of "cracking" sounds coming from all over the roof. He immediately jumped to the corridor next to him to take shelter.
Short arrows flew across the rain, hitting the doors and windows with a "tat tat tat" sound.
Yang Zhounan leaned against the wooden pillar and couldn't help but complain.
"I didn't expect that there would be secret guards in a place like this."
"These secret guards are very skilled, even the rich merchants don't have them." Xiao Yan said, "This is a government-run household."
"Official household?" Yang Zhounan looked at the man in black flying down from the roof. "Today I want to see who this monster is."
He leaped forward, rolled forward and half-knelt, then slashed at the men in black who were charging towards him, and three of them fell down instantly.
Several blades came from both sides at the same time, wrapped in rain and moving at an extremely fast speed.
Yang Zhounan was unable to stand up and was forced to support himself with his elbows and block the attack with his knife. He pushed upward with force and simultaneously kicked out in spirals with both legs to the sides, causing several men in black to fall to the ground.
Xiao Yan's knife was already covered in blood, and the bloody smell was so strong that even the rain couldn't wash it away.
The man in black whose throat was cut had not yet hit the ground when he caught a glimpse of a knife flashing by from the side. A dark shadow suddenly attacked him, and he took the opportunity to throw the corpse in his hand away.
The man in black was knocked back two steps. He pushed the corpse away but before he could swing his knife, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The blade reflected white light and pierced his heart.
The lights in the spacious room are charming, with light green gauze curtains hanging beside the red pillars on both sides. A gauze curtain on the left separates the room, and inside is a wide and long pool.
Lu Ziqing fell on the bed in the outer room. He heard the door open and footsteps coming in. He saw a dark shadow coming over on the semi-transparent embroidered screen.
An old and handsome face appeared, it was Wan Fengnian.
Lu Ziqing didn't recognize him, he just saw an old man, frowned immediately, supported himself on the bed with his elbows and slowly backed away.
I don’t know what the two masked men gave him to drink just now, but now he just feels a little feverish and uncomfortable.
Wan Fengnian held two jade balls in his hands, walked slowly to the bedside, and looked them up and down expressionlessly.
Unlike most men, he doesn't look vulgar, but rather looks like an old fox who has been in the dark world for a long time.
After a while, he sat down closer and put his hand on Lu Ziqing's calf, stroking it upwards until he stopped at the knee.
"How old?"
Lu Ziqing was mumbling and couldn't say anything. Wan Fengnian tore the cloth off his mouth and he spoke deliberately.
"sixteen."
Wan Fengnian raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "What a wonderful age! Your body is like bamboo shoots after rain, fresh and energetic, and you look lovely."
He looked at the beauty huddled in the corner and smiled slightly.
"Do I look that scary? Don't be afraid, just sit up."
Lu Ziqing sat up straight and looked at him, panting softly. "Who are you? Don't you know that trafficking women is a capital crime?"
Wan Fengnian smiled calmly, "I didn't kidnap or sell anything, I just spent money."
"What difference does it make?"
