The little maid rushed to the window in panic, looked at Miss Pang from top to bottom, and then said worriedly: "Miss, you really scared me to death. I knocked on the door so many times just now, why didn't you even say a word? Don’t tell me?”
Miss Pang turned a blind eye to the little maid beside her and kept staring in the direction of the back garden. After a long time, she slowly said, "Why are you panicking? Am I not here?"
Seeing that Miss Pang's tone was wrong, the clever little maid no longer dared to show panic. Instead, she asked with a smile: "Miss, why did you get up so early today? I don't know, I thought you didn't sleep all night. ."
A perfect smile appeared on Miss Pang's face. Unexpectedly, the little maid's unintentional words actually hit the target. Not only did she not sleep last night, she might not be able to sleep peacefully every day in the days to come because she would always be there. There was one person who made her think about him day and night.
"Miss, let me help you wash up." The little maid held the toiletries and waited respectfully.
"No, I'm so tired today. I want to sleep a little longer. Go and tell me that you don't have to wait for me to eat." There was no emotion in Miss Pang's words.
"Miss..." The little maid wanted to say something more.
Miss Pang waved her hand to stop her: "Stop talking any more, go down and leave me alone for a while."
The little maid didn't dare to say any more, she took the toiletries and exited obediently, closing the door.
Miss Pang stood in front of the window for a long time, unwilling to leave. She stared at a high wall in the back garden, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
After Zhou Yiming helped Miss Pang enter the house, he heard the sound of the maid opening the door. He didn't dare to stay for long, so he immediately turned around and quietly walked back the way he came. Then he came to the back garden and jumped out from where he had just jumped in.
There was still no one in the alley outside. Zhou Yiming pulled off the rotten flag covering his face, put it into his sleeve, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He was finally free from Miss Pang's entanglement and could go back to resume his duties.
In fact, if Miss Pang had a high enough level of martial arts, Zhou Yiming could consider developing a relationship with her. However, when he saw that Miss Pang was submissively treated by the Supreme Taoist and had no power to fight back, Zhou Yiming decided to Understand that Miss Pang not only has no martial arts training, she may not even have awakened her martial soul.
If you can't contribute to your own martial arts cultivation, just relying on a beautiful face is not enough to impress Zhou Ming. After all, his wife is already good enough. Just for the sake of beauty, he will not make him do things that are sorry to Lin Ajiao. things.
On the way back, Zhou Yiming hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether to go back to the General Affairs Office first or go directly to Huamanlou. Almost one night had passed since he left. Those brothers didn't know Did anything go wrong while guarding the flower-faced wolf?
After careful consideration, Yi Ming decided to go back to the General Affairs Office to check on the other people involved in the arrest and see if the arrest plan was going smoothly.
What Zhou Ming was particularly worried about was Han Pingzhi. Although his martial arts skills were higher than his own, he was old, had limited physical strength and energy, and was acting alone late at night. What if something unexpected happened during the arrest? , it is difficult to cope with it.
As for whether Yang Shijun and his white-clad guards would be in danger, Zhou Yiming didn't care at all. Anyway, his mission had been successfully completed. As long as Han Pingzhi made no mistakes, even if Yang Shijun and the others were annihilated, it would have nothing to do with him.
Thinking of the way Yang Shijun and his men glared at him before setting off, Zhou Yiming felt angry in his heart. He thought to himself that they were a bunch of idiots who were lucky enough to have not met the Supreme Taoist. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives just by relying on the Supreme Taoist. His flying knife skills were enough to kill them without a burial place.
Zhou Yiming walked straight towards the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. When passers-by saw that his clothes were disheveled and his body was stained with blood, they all looked sideways at him and pointed at him.
"Look at this guy, he looks so weird!"
"Could it be a thief from somewhere?"
"If anyone is brave enough, report it to the official immediately."
These boring words reached Zhou Ming's ears and made him sneer. I fought hard all night and narrowly escaped death to kill the Northern spy Supreme Taoist. As a result, when I walked on the street, I was regarded as a villain and a gangster by the people of Dachu. This is simply ridiculous. What an irony.
He didn't have time to pay attention to this, so he walked around in circles and came to the gate of the General Affairs Office.
It was already daylight, and the streets were bustling with people. From a distance, Zhou Yiming saw heavy soldiers guarding the entrance to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office. These guarding soldiers kept driving away pedestrians on the road, preventing suspicious people from approaching the Yamen entrance.
"Go away!"
"There is a serious case being investigated in the Yamen. No one else is allowed to approach. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed without mercy."
When Zhou Yiming walked to the Yamen Gate of the General Affairs Office, a soldier immediately stepped forward to stop him roughly: "Bold maniac, this is the important place of the Yamen. You are not allowed to come near, so leave quickly."
Zhou Yiming was not offended by the soldiers' rough behavior. As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty. He immediately said politely: "Brother, we are all our own people. I have just returned from a mission. Could you please tell me inside?" Mr. Han will announce that I am back on Monday."
When the soldier heard what Zhou Ming said, he immediately laughed wildly: "Bold and unruly man, you are so brave, you dare to come here to deceive people! How noble Master Han is, can you see it just as you want?"
Don't even look at what you are wearing. You are as shabby as a beggar. Not to mention entering the Yamen to see Mr. Han, you are not even qualified to enter my house!
Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! "
Zhou Yiming immediately became furious and frowned tightly. You don't know my identity and you are cruel to me. I can understand you, but I explained it clearly to you in nice words. If you still pretend to be like me, then Just don't blame me.
Zhou Yiming decisively ignored the soldier and walked towards the Yamen.
The soldier immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and called for other companions to come over and arrest Zhou Ming together.
"Brothers, someone is making trouble here, follow me and arrest him."
Several other soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they quickly gathered around, took out their weapons, and started to attack Yi Ming.
Zhou Yiming didn't even take out the seven-star sword from its sheath. He just used the sheath and knocked the soldiers to the ground with just a few moves.
"Ouch, it hurts me so much."
"Go call someone quickly!"
"My bones are broken."
In the blink of an eye, several soldiers fell to the ground and wailed in pain.
The noise attracted the attention of several gatekeepers in the yamen. One of them hurriedly came out to check the situation. When he saw Zhou Yiming, his eyes immediately lit up and he hurried forward to salute.
"Master Zhou, you are finally back. Master Han and Master Yang have returned to the Yamen and are waiting for you. Come with me."
It turns out that this person is the yamen servant who received Zhou Ming when he came to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office before.
Zhou Mingyu was still angry, staring fiercely at the soldiers rolling on the ground in pain, and then asked the government officer: "Where did these villains come from? How dare they be so rude!"
The Yamen officer hurriedly whispered in Zhou Yiming's ear: "Master Zhou, these are Northern Army sergeants transferred by Master Yang. They are used to being arrogant and domineering, so they have this kind of virtue."
Zhou Yiming suddenly understood. Yan Qiu was the Zhonglang General of the Northern Army. He could be said to be the top leader of the Northern Army. The Northern Army was the strongest military force in the entire Huijing City. It was precisely because he controlled the Northern Army that he could Yan Qiu's position as the most powerful official in the court was difficult to shake.
These sergeants have been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering under Yan Qiu for a long time, so they don't pay attention to other people at all. Not to mention that Yi Ming is now disheveled. To them, he looks like an ordinary commoner, even if he is an ordinary dandy and ordinary person in Huijing. They don't look down on the powerful.
After listening to the yamen's explanation, Zhou Yiming suddenly felt relieved. It was not worth getting angry with these dogs. He even put on a smile on his face and deliberately said sarcastically: "Oh, the flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family I don’t know my family anymore! Next week, I don’t know that all the sergeants are soldiers of the Northern Army. I just acted carelessly and hurt everyone. I really deserve death."
Although these soldiers of the Northern Army had been defeated by Zhou Ming and were seriously injured, none of them gave in. They were all thinking about how to retaliate against Zhou Ming. But now when they heard that this man was really Zhou Ming, these people were instantly scared.
The various glorious deeds of Zhou Yiming are all too familiar to the Northern Army, which Yan Qiu relies on most for military strength. They know in their hearts that with the protection of Yan Qiu, the giant Buddha, no matter how nonsense they do or how arrogant and domineering they are, they will not be able to survive. No one dares to care about them. Even if they offend the emperor's relatives, it is no big deal.
But there are only two people they can't afford to offend, one is the current emperor, and the other is Yan Qiu's current biggest enemy - Zhou Ming.
Not only was this boy very young and highly skilled in martial arts, but he also did not follow routines and was so ruthless that the soldiers of the Northern Army were put to shame.
There was no one in the entire Huijing City who did not worship Yan Qiu like an ancestor, and no one even dared to offend the housekeeper and servants in his family.
However, Zhou Yiming killed both Yan Shikuan and Feng Shiying without even blinking an eye, regardless of the risk of death, and almost made Yan Qiu the target of public criticism throughout the Chu Kingdom. If Yan Qiu's power was not stable enough, If so, coupled with the emperor's preference, it may be difficult for him to escape this disaster.
Although he narrowly escaped the disaster brought about by Yi Ming, the eyes of the entire Chu Kingdom were fixed on Yan Qiu. As long as he made a wrong step, or if Yi Ming had an accident, then The anger of the people all over the world will inevitably be ignited again.
By then, even if the emperor wants to keep Yan Qiu, he may not be able to do so. After all, if he risks losing the world to protect one person, then even the stupidest emperor will not do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, after this crisis passed, Yan Qiu personally ordered all the forces under his command not to cause trouble to Zhou Ming during this sensitive period. If anyone dared to disobey the order, he would be punished without mercy.
As soon as this order came out, Yan Qiu's subordinates avoided Zhou Ming one after another, because not only did they not dare to provoke Zhou Ming, they were even more afraid of offending him.
