Prince Wending's Mansion is located in the northwest of the city. This area is an area for dignitaries, where the emperor's relatives, princes, generals, and wealthy families all live. Every time the City Defense Department patrols and enforces laws here, they are cautious and show off their usual arrogance. They bow to everyone they know or don't know, and dare not speak loudly for fear of accidentally offending someone they can't afford to offend. .
The Wending Palace is approximately at the northernmost part of this area and closest to the imperial city, so it is not difficult to find.
Wang Qi'an was observing the grand palace diagonally across from the palace. He saw the door was closed, and there were six tall guards holding swords on each side lined up on both sides. They were serious and solemn.
Wang Qi'an spent half an hour exploring the surroundings of the palace, and found that the palace was built on the mountain, forming a semicircle, covering an extremely large area, and a river ran through the palace.
When Wang Qi'an returned to the opposite street again, he happened to see the door of the mansion open, and a group of three people came out of the house, talking and laughing. To Wang Qi'an's surprise, one of them was the kind-faced and delicate scribe known as the Zuo Protector who killed two men in black in front of the mountain temple that night.
I didn't expect such a coincidence, but I didn't know who he was and what his relationship was with Prince Wending's palace. When these thoughts flashed through Wang Qi'an's mind, the three people who came out had already said goodbye to each other, divided into two groups and left in different directions. The delicate scribe was walking in his own direction alone. Wang Qi'an quickly pretended to be an ordinary passerby and looked towards him. He walked in the other direction, pretending not to notice him at all.
The delicate scribe did not know that Xingzang was exposed to Wang Qi'an that night, and did not pay attention to Wang Qi'an's appearance.
After getting out of the sight of the gate of Prince Wending's Mansion, he immediately changed his state. His face became serious and he looked a little worried. At the same time, his pace quickened, as if there was something urgent waiting to be dealt with.
Having missed the opportunity to find out last time, Wang Qi'anke didn't let it go this time. He turned around, kept a safe distance, and followed closely behind the delicate scribe.
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at the densely populated and bustling commercial district in the south of the city. There were various shops on both sides of the street, and there were many vendors selling various items in the open spaces in front of the shops. In order to avoid losing track of his target, Wang Qi'an had to take risks to get closer to the target, and finally saw him walking into a shop with the signboard "Lin's Seafood".
Just when Wang Qi'an was hesitating whether to follow him, he found that he had come out of the store with two bags of items. It seemed that he was just here to buy some seafood.
Wang Qi'an followed the delicate scribe for two more blocks until he entered an inn. Wang Qi'an looked up and saw the words "Donglai Inn". It turned out that he was returning to the place where he stayed.
Wang Qian thought that he had to stay in a hotel for the night anyway, so he might as well choose this place to observe this person more easily. As soon as he stepped into the inn, a boy who looked like a waiter saw that although Wang Qi'an was dressed in simple clothes, he had a majestic temperament and showed a talent, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Guest, are you staying in the hotel or dining?".
Wang Qi'an quickly took a look at the situation in the store. It turned out that the first floor was a restaurant, filled with more than a dozen tables. It may not have been meal time, but there were only two or three groups of people occupying tables in different positions, eating and chatting. These people did not What's special is that the delicate scribe didn't see it. He must have gone up to the second floor and entered the room.
"Staying in the hotel, please help me choose a room facing the street." He took out the broken silver from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.
"Okay, guest, don't worry. Please come with me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the room." The store clerk took Wang Qi'an to the counter to register and receive the room license, and then led him directly to the second floor.
"Second brother, do you know how to get to Yanyu Pavilion?" Seeing that there was no progress in the identity of the delicate scribe, Wang Qi'an thought of Ji Wurui and couldn't help but casually asked the store clerk.
Hearing the words Yanyu Pavilion, the shop clerk couldn't help but put away his smile and said with a strange expression: "If the customer comes here for Miss Yanyu, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. I heard that Miss Yanyu is unwell and has not come forward to entertain guests for several days. ”
Then he looked around again, and when he saw no one else, he leaned close to Wang Qian's ear and continued to whisper: "In the morning, I overheard a guest drinking morning tea saying that something big is going to happen in Yanyu Pavilion tonight. It seems that someone has offended something serious. You are in big trouble. I see that you are a good person, waiter, so you should not join in the fun, so as not to hurt innocent people."
"Thank you for reminding me, brother. In that case, it's okay not to go." Wang Qi'an didn't want to arouse the store clerk's suspicion, so he followed his tone and said, as for the location of Yanyu Pavilion, he will ask others later when he goes out.
From what the store clerk said, it seems that what Ji Wurui said is true. Yanyu Pavilion is afraid that something will happen tonight.
"If you want to visit a brothel, I've heard a lot about it, so I can give you some recommendations, like Yanyu Pavilion. To be honest, I can't even get a place in Prince Xing's Mansion." The shop clerk saw that Wang Qi'an was willing to listen to his opinion. , did not insist on going to Yanyu Pavilion, and the conversation started.
"Oh, that's it, then you should tell me about it." Wang Qi'an didn't know much about brothels at first, but he thought since it was related to Yanyu Tower, it wouldn't hurt to listen. He also took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the shop clerk. .
The shop clerk was overjoyed when he saw Ginliang and thanked him repeatedly. He was glad that he did not look down on the customer in front of him because of his dress.
"The most famous ones here are Baocui Tower and Yanhong Courtyard. There are four famous concubines in Baocui Tower and three famous courtesans in Yanhong Tower. Each of them is a first-rate beauty. I heard that I want to meet a few of them. Not only do you need to make an appointment in advance, but you also need to pay a lot of deposit, and many high-ranking officials from the court have been there." After receiving the reward, the store clerk became more enthusiastic.
"Of course, the young master doesn't have to meet a few of them. It is said that the other girls are also enchanting." At this point, the store clerk also showed a look of yearning on his face.
The waiter talked freely, but Wang Qi'an didn't hear any more useful information, so he sent him away with a few polite words. He wanted to ask the handsome scribe who had just come in which room he lived in, but he gave up because he was afraid of alerting others.
When Wang Qian was dining on the first floor of the inn, he happened to see a handsome man coming down from the second floor. Wang Qi'an secretly called him lucky, and hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks to pay and follow.
The delicate scribe seemed to have something important to attend to and was in a hurry, not noticing that Wang Qi'an was following behind.
He walked through the streets and alleys, gradually moving away from the busy city, and came to a ruined area. At this moment, he stopped at an abandoned manor. After a while, a big man in gray clothes came out of the abandoned manor and said respectfully in front of the delicate scribe. : "Reporting to Protector Zuo, the idea has been put together. He fell down the horse slope five miles away in the suburbs. Gang leader Liang has led the crowd to intercept him."
"As long as we can capture the purple-robed messenger, we will have a way to make the Nine-Xuan Heavenly Queen submit." The delicate scribe nodded.
"Without further delay, let's rush there as soon as possible." He continued.
Wang Qi'an, who was hiding not far away, heard the purple-shirted messenger and wondered in his heart, could it be the woman who attacked him before? These people didn't know what their intentions were, and it seemed that they were going to be detrimental to them. Wang Qi'an decided to follow them to see what happened.
Wang Qi'an followed them slowly and quietly to a sparsely populated countryside. At this time, there was a slight scolding sound from the front, followed by a sound of weapons clashing.
The delicate scribe sped towards the source of the sound, with Wang Qi'an following closely behind.
After rushing for a kilometer and over a small slope, Wang Qi'an saw three people besieging a woman. There was also a man and a woman nearby. The delicate scribe was obviously with them. At this moment, the man standing beside him around.
At this time, Wang Qi'an saw clearly that the woman under siege was the woman in purple who attacked her before. The people who besieged her were two men and one woman. Wang Qi'an saw that although the three of them attacked with all their strength and their moves were fierce, they could not threaten the woman in purple. She seemed to be able to do so with ease, and her eyes occasionally glanced at the three who did not join the fight.
"The Jiu Xuan Sect is indeed well-deserved. I didn't expect that any disciple would be so difficult to deal with, but he was able to escape unscathed under the attack of the three masters of my gang." At this time, the man in the middle said with a rich voice.
Wang Qi'an was currently hiding among the trees at the foot of the hill. He was paying attention to the fighting at the scene, but when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but look towards the man.
This person is extremely tall, half a head taller than the two people next to him, with a stern face and sharp eyes. There are no weapons around him, but his hands hanging down are extremely slender, which makes people think that his palms must have extraordinary skills.
Wang Qi'an glanced at the woman in red next to the man, but found something unusual. It turned out that although the woman was wearing heavy makeup, she had thick eyebrows, a flat nose, a square face and big ears. She was not charming at all. At this time, she only saw her He stared at the girl in purple in the field with cold eyes.
"Hehe, no matter how powerful she is, she will not be able to escape being captured today. Can Gang Leader Liang make the three of your men stop their attacks first? This woman's sword moves are so unpredictable that it makes my hands itch." A sharp knife A feminine voice came from the mouth of the woman in red.
"Since Brother Chu is here to do the work, we don't want them to be embarrassed." The tall man known as Gang Leader Liang said happily.
"You all stop and retreat." Then he shouted loudly.
The three people who were besieging the woman in purple stopped and retreated after hearing this.
"Who are you?" The woman in purple said coldly at this moment. The white gauze hanging down from the drape adds to the mysterious beauty, and the graceful figure and slender fit are heart-warming.
"I won't change my name or my surname. I will help Liang Feng in Lingnan. If you are willing to cooperate obediently, girl, I will not embarrass you." The tall man said calmly.
"Humph, I don't know you, and I don't understand what you want to cooperate with?" the woman in purple said coldly.
"We just want to aggrieve you for a while and discuss terms with Master Ling. We hope that she will remember your relationship as master and disciple and hand over what we want." Liang Feng said.
"What do you want? What is it?" the woman in purple asked.
"Hey, you don't need to know what it is. Whether the girl cooperates obediently or wants to continue to resist, the result will not be different anyway." Liang Fengjie said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's do it!" The woman in purple waved her sword lightly, pointed at Liang Feng and said coldly.
"This woman is so stubborn. I don't think Gang Leader Liang needs to waste any more words. My brothers have been itching for a long time, so let me try the Jiuxuan Tianluo Sword." The sharp and feminine voice of the woman in red sounded again.
Wang Qian'an thought that this man was clearly a man disguised as a woman, and Liang Feng called this man Brother Chu. Could it be that he was Chu Lianyao, the Jiange traitor mentioned by Ji Wurui? So should he be from Prince Wu Jing's palace? How could he hang out with the Lingnan Gang?
The man in red had already engaged the woman in purple. The two of them were fighting each other with their sleeves flying. Although the woman in purple's swordsmanship was unpredictable, the man in red also used his sword at a tricky angle. In the midst of lightning and flint, the two men exchanged swords and swords for hundreds of rounds. Suddenly, the purple-clothed woman's sword light surged, almost enveloping the red-clothed man, and then shot out thousands of sword lights, overwhelming the red-clothed man and retreating continuously, seemingly at a disadvantage.
At this moment, the delicate scribe took action. Before he could draw his sword, the light of his sword was already directed at the woman in purple. His sword technique was so fast that it came in the blink of an eye.
The woman in purple had no choice but to give up chasing the woman in red and changed her moves. In a hurry, she could barely withstand the thunderous strike of the delicate scribe.
The delicate scribe's martial arts was slightly better than that of the man in red, and the woman in purple had just spent a lot of real energy, so he took the vanguard as soon as he came up, forcing the woman in purple to retreat step by step, completely falling into passive defense.
Wang Qi'an had only seen the delicate scribe perform one move in the ruined temple before. Unexpectedly, he actually saw him perform a move today. His martial arts skills were even higher than he had imagined. His swordsmanship was so fast and fierce that it was difficult to parry.
When I saw the woman in purple, her silk hat had been thrown aside, revealing her beautiful face. Her clothes were torn in many places, her arms were torn on the left and right, and she looked like she was surrounded by danger.
Just when Wang Qi'an was about to take action, a rapid gust of wind sounded.
"Hey" Liang Feng showed a surprised expression.
I saw two women, one blue and one green, dressed similarly to the woman in purple, rushing towards them.
Seeing the two women arriving, the delicate scribe stopped pressing forward step by step, feinted and retreated to Liang Feng's side. He also stared suspiciously at the two women who had just arrived. The man in red who had fought with the woman in purple was now standing on Liang Feng's left side as if nothing had happened. The three Lingnan Gang masters retreated behind Liang Feng.
The two women, blue and green, were holding the woman in purple, one on the left and the other on the right, who was exhausted and panting.
The two sides formed a confrontation situation.
"Junior sister, are you okay?" The woman in blue asked the woman in purple with concern.
"I'm fine. Senior sister, why are you here?" Seeing the two people appear, the girl in purple said in surprise.
"Who asked you to sneak out? Master lost his temper and was worried that you were not safe outside alone, so he ordered us to come out to find you. You are too willful," said the woman in green shirt.
"Is this person the messenger in blue and green shirts from the Jiu Xuan Sect? When you two are here, could it be that the Queen of Jiu Xuan has also arrived in Lingnan?" Seeing the two girls appear, Liang Feng asked tentatively. He seemed to be quite wary of the Jiu Xuan he was talking about. Queen of Heaven.
"Hmph, if my master were here, I'm afraid you would all be broken into pieces at this moment. No matter who you are, hurting my junior sister is an unforgivable crime." Before he finished speaking, the two women, blue and green, had already unsheathed their swords at the same time. In perfect coordination, the two long swords continuously drew "chichi" powerful energy in the void, weaving a sword net to cover Liang Feng and the others. It is conceivable that if they do not dodge, they will be broken into pieces by the sword energy.
When the two girls saw their junior sister being bullied, they felt angry, so they attacked with all their strength without reservation to vent their hatred.
