Having said this, the masked woman patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and warned:
"Jianghu is not as beautiful as you think. Listen to my advice and go home and be filial to your parents."
Finished.
She put away the long knife.
Turned around and left the Shi family courtyard.
Looking at Zi Ning's leaving figure, Lin Fan's lips curled up into a faint smile.
The southwest branch of Wushuang City.
Zhang Daniu looked at Zi Ning who came in a hurry, and listened to her report that Japanese Ronin appeared at Shi Tianwei's birthday party, and a strange look appeared on his face.
As for worrying, it is impossible to worry.
Perhaps, he should be more worried about whether those Japanese rogues would be beaten into idiots by the city lord.
Zhang Daniu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Thank you Miss Zi Ning for coming to inform me that these Japanese rogues are targeting Shijiabao. What you encountered should be their vanguard. This matter should not be underestimated. I will send them right away." Someone go and notify Shijiabao."
Hearing this, Zi Ning hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, there is no need to send anyone. I happen to be going to Shijiabao, so let me pass the news on my behalf."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Zi Ning. I'll gather the troops later and rush to Shijiabao's aid at noon tomorrow at the latest."
The two agreed and went their separate ways.
And just after Zi Ning left the helm, a man wearing a ghost mask slowly walked out of the back room.
Seeing this man, Zhang Daniu quickly raised his hands and said: "City Lord!"
"No need to be polite."
Lin Fan waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Daniu, where does this Zi Ning come from?"
Zhang Daniu was stunned for a moment before explaining.
It turned out that two years ago, the wife of the master of Shijiabao went back to her parents' home to visit relatives, and she encountered thieves and bandits on the way.
The people of Shijiabao are naturally not afraid of ordinary thieves.
But who knows, among this group of thieves, there is a man named Flying Centipede, who is quite capable.
The guards of Shijiabao were killed and injured heavily, and even his wife was almost robbed.
Fortunately, Zi Ning, who had mastered the Qingqing Seven Sword Skills, was passing by, and easily defeated the Flying Centipede, and saved the wife of the Lord of Shijiabao.
From then on, Shijiabao regarded Zi Ning as an honored guest.
In the past two years, Zi Ning has acted chivalrously and done many good deeds, and was praised by the people of the southwest.
"I see."
Lin Fan nodded and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, you go down and prepare."
"Yes, City Lord."
Zhang Daniu took the order and left.
.........
On the official road to Shijiabao.
Zi Ning rode a fast horse and galloped on the road.
When passing by a hillside, I saw a man wearing a grimace mask sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"It's you, why are you here?"
Seeing this man, Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, urged her horse forward, and asked doubtfully.
The man in the ghost mask opened his eyes, smiled at Zi Ning and said, "Waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
"That's right, you are going to Shijiabao. It just so happens that I am also going to Shijiabao, so let's go together."
After the man with the grimace mask finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the horse without waiting for Zi Ning's reply.
"Hey, what are you doing? Get down quickly!"
Suddenly being hugged from behind, Zi Ning's pretty face turned red immediately under her veil.
Immediately afterwards.
It is extremely angry.
Over the years, it's not as if no man has shown favor to her.
But she didn't mince words.
This is because she already has someone in her heart, and she can no longer tolerate other men.
"Don't move. The latest information coming from Wushuang City is that the Emperor of Japan is already on his way to Shijiabao with his people. If you don't inform the people in Shijiabao quickly, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Zi Ning's struggling movements stopped.
In the past two years, she has become close to Shijiabao, especially the wife of the castle owner.
She has lost her mother since she was a child and has never felt maternal love.
During this period of time, the castle owner's wife treated her as if she were her own child, which also made her feel the taste of maternal love for the first time.
Therefore, she did not want to see anything happen to Shijiabao.
While Zi Ning was stunned, the reins in her hand had been snatched away by Lin Fan without any explanation.
Then, the horses were urged to gallop on the official road.
While running, Zi Ning tried several times to strike down the man behind her with one palm.
But somehow, every time she wanted to make a move, the strong masculine aura coming from behind made her feel powerless.
The fast horse gallops.
A few hours later, Shijiabao was in sight.
On the other side, there was a group of Japanese warriors with forty or fifty people.
However, when the two of them took a closer look, they discovered that there were corpses lying on the ground in front of the gate of Shijiabao, and most of them had their throats sealed with a sword.
"No, I'm late!"
Zi Ning exclaimed, and without thinking, she dismounted and ran towards the fort.
Lin Fan behind him sighed helplessly and could only dismount and chase after him.
Along the way, there were more and more bodies on the ground.
At first, it was just the bodies of Shijiabao warriors.
At the end, there were also more corpses of Japanese warriors.
The two of them followed the guidance of the blood on the ground and came to the martial arts field in the fort!
At this time, the martial arts arena was clearly divided into two groups of people.
One group is the only dozen or so people left in Shijiabao.
"lady!"
Among the people in Shijiabao, a young woman who still retains her charm is dying after being hit by several arrows.
Zi Ning exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to support the young woman.
"Ning'er, cough cough cough... why are you back? You shouldn't be back."
The castle owner's wife caressed Zi Ning's pretty face lovingly, with bright red blood oozing out of her mouth.
"It's a pity that I won't be able to see the day when you get married, Ning'er... You should live well... live well..."
She managed a smile, then tilted her head and lost her breath.
Everyone in Shijiabao was furious and wanted to avenge the castle owner's wife.
But their strength was not as good as their opponents, and they were beaten back several times after attacking.
Zi Ning shouted angrily, drew out the long knife from behind, and rushed madly in the direction of the Japanese warrior.
Among the Japanese warriors, the leader was none other than the Japanese Emperor.
Wearing a black robe, he watched the bloody massacre on the martial arts field with cold eyes.
To him, human life is like an ant, not worth mentioning at all.
Besides, those who died were still from the Central Plains, not from Japan.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
This sentence was something he learned from the Central Plains.
As the Emperor of Japan, what he admires most is the culture of the Central Plains.
What he has to do is to thoroughly learn these cultures, and then accumulate strength to conquer this vast continent one day.
Zi Ning glared bitterly at the Japanese Emperor in the middle of the crowd. She tried to rush forward several times, but was stopped by the Japanese warriors who were guarding the emperor.
The Emperor of Japan also noticed Zi Ning, with a hint of disdain on his face, and then nodded to the swordsman Huang Ying beside him.
Huang Ying was originally a member of the Japanese royal family. After practicing swordsmanship, he abandoned his wife and children, gave up his glory and wealth in order to pursue the swordless swordsmanship, and finally became the number one swordsman in Japan, comprehending the seven most powerful swordsmanship.
Huang Ying's face was calm and he flew into the battle group.
Then, the knife stabbed out diagonally, directly picking off Zi Ning's veil, revealing a beautiful face.
