Before Jining had gone far, Jining found an old man following him. This old man was wearing a green cloth shirt that had been washed white, and his beard and hair were gray. Judging from his attire, he should be an ordinary working man.
After following Jining for a while, Jining looked back at the old man when he saw that he was still following him. The old man saw a look of surprise on Jining's face, and asked in a somewhat excited tone: "Master, is your surname Ning?"
After the old man heard Jining say that his surname was not Ning, his expected expression showed a hint of loneliness, and then he hurriedly left after confessing to Jining!
Jining continued to walk forward, and the sky was getting dark before he knew it! Although we met a few inns along the way, I didn’t expect that all the inns were overcrowded! From the words of the people on the side, it seems like something is going to happen in Luodu City!
"Hey" Jining heard a shrill cry coming from the alley not far in front of him, and his spiritual sense found that there were several people chasing one person. Although Jining didn't care about ordinary people and things, he still decided to take a look when he encountered them. "Whoosh" Jining appeared ten feet away. It seemed that after reaching the seventh level of Qi training, Jining's wind control skills became more and more proficient. Jining only saw a few jumps before disappearing into the night.
A moment later, Jining appeared in the alley. Not far ahead, he saw several people in black surrounding a young man in white. The young man in white turned pale with fright. His mouth was trembling because of fear and he could no longer speak. , a package fell on the ground, and the gold and silver inside fell softly to the ground. Lying on the ground near the young man in white were two middle-aged men dressed as martial arts masters. The two martial arts masters lying on the ground were covered in blood and had no breath. The blood was flowing on the ground and filled with a strong smell of blood!
These men in black all had their faces covered with black gauze, and they all had the same knife in their hands. One of the men in black held up the knife slightly and walked towards the young man in white!
When Jining appeared at the entrance of the alley, these men in black seemed to sense something, and the man who was about to cut him with the knife stopped, and turned around to look at Jining at the entrance of the alley. At this time, one of the men in black stared at Jining fiercely and then waved a gesture to his accomplices on the side. The other men in black understood the situation and quickly gathered around, apparently intending to kill and silence him.
It seemed that these men in black usually cooperated very well. They immediately surrounded Jining from several directions. Without saying anything, they waved the gleaming machetes in their hands and slashed at Jining in an instant.
It was just the opposite of what they expected. They originally thought that the young man in front of them could be solved instantly, but their knives slashing at the young man from several directions failed. The men in black felt their eyes dazzled, and the young man in front of them disappeared instantly. Before they could react, their necks felt cold, blood spurted out from their necks, and their bodies collapsed!
There were only two men in black left in the alley. When the leading man in black saw this situation, they knew that the young man in front of them was not something they could deal with. It would be difficult for them to escape without leaving! He said to the man in black who originally killed the young man in white, "Kill him and retreat!".
Then he jumped to the other direction of the alley on his own! The man in black was stunned when he saw his accomplice killed by this young man in an instant. However, after hearing the words of the leading man in black, he realized and was about to kill the young man in white with his knife.
When Jining saw the leading man in black speaking, he raised his sleeve and shot an arrow at the man in black who was about to slash at the young man in white. The young man in white was already frightened and had no idea where the knife was coming from!
Before the man in black could swing his knife at the young man in white, the hand of the man in black was hit by Jining's sleeve arrow, and the knife in the man's hand fell to the ground with a clang. The man in black didn't care about his arm that was shot by the sleeve arrow or his accomplices who were already dead. They also ran towards the direction where the leading man in black was escaping.
Jining did not continue to chase the two men in black who escaped. He turned around and looked at the blood on the ground and the several men in black he had killed. The blood on the ground filled the alley with a strong smell of blood. This made Jining feel like his stomach was churning and he felt like vomiting. Looking at the men in black who were killed by him, he felt a little guilty and emotional. This was his first time killing someone, although these people were probably not kind people.
Jining sighed and walked over to look at the young man in white. The frightened young man in white finally came to his senses. He got up with difficulty and thanked him for saving his life. His body was still shaking due to the fright just now. The young man in white stumbling towards Jining said: "Thank you young hero for saving me just now. I am a descendant of the Shan family in Jubao Pavilion in Luodu City. Thank you young hero for saving my life.".
After hearing this, Jining nodded and said expressionlessly: "Leave quickly, maybe there will be danger later!".
When the young man in white heard Jining say that there might be danger behind him, his body that had just been calm started to tremble again. He said to Jining anxiously, "Looking at the young man's costume, he should be from outside. I hope the young man can take me to a safe place." place, when the time comes, the entire Shan family will be extremely grateful to Young Hero for his rescue, and Jubao Pavilion is considered a well-known business in Luodu City, so Jubao Pavilion will definitely thank you generously!"
I didn't pay much attention to the heavy gift of thanks. The main reason was that I was not familiar with Luodu City, so I had to find a place to stay before making any plans. After hearing what the young man in white said, I agreed after thinking about it. After the young man in white heard Jining's promise, his originally pale face became slightly better. He did not pick up the gold and silver items thrown on the ground. After looking at the two martial arts masters who died protecting him, he picked up the package on the ground and hurriedly Leave with Jining.
Less than an hour after Jining and the others left the alley, a large group of people appeared at the place where the fight had just occurred. This group of people looked around in the dark alley. Among them was the leader who had just chased the young man in white. His face now looked It wasn't good either. He looked at the people around him slightly nervously.
At this time, an inspection man in black was carefully examining the wounds of several men in black. After a while, the man in black stood up and said to one of them: "Hall Master Lin, judging from this wound, it is difficult to determine whether it is What kind of hidden weapon was used to injure him? I checked everywhere carefully, but there was no trace left at the scene! It seems that I can only go back and check the injury of the injured brother carefully to see if I can find any clues!"
"Killing several people in an instant without leaving any traces. There are not many such masters in Luodu! Zhang Chang, who do you think looks young?" Hall Master Lin asked.
The man in black named Zhang Chang was the leader who just missed the young man named Shan here. He responded nervously: "Hallmaster Lin, yes, that young man showed up with a package on his back. He looked like he should be I just arrived in Luodu City from out of town!"
"There are so many experts from out of town who suddenly appeared in Luodu City recently. It seems that something big is going to happen in Luodu City! The sect leader must be informed of this situation as soon as possible." Hall Master Lin said to himself.
Then Hall Master Lin asked his men to take the bodies of the men in black and leave in a hurry! Shortly after the group of men in black left, several officers and soldiers appeared here. After checking, they took away the corpses of the two martial artists! The alley returned to calm, as if no horrific murder had ever happened!
Jining followed the young man surnamed Shan towards his residence. Thanks to the protection of Jining, a master, the young man surnamed Shan's spirit gradually returned to normal. It turned out that this young man with a single surname was named Shan Wentian, and he was the young master of Jubao Pavilion. However, he was cryptic about why he was assassinated this time and refused to mention it. Jining didn't want to know at first, so Shan Wentian didn't say anything and didn't interfere. .
After walking for more than an hour, their journey was relatively safe, and Jining didn't find anything suspicious with his spiritual sense. At this time, they came to the south city of Luodu City. The south city seemed quieter than other urban areas. Even the busiest Nanshan Street in the south of the city did not have many pedestrians. However, the restaurants and Beauty Square were brightly lit and the business was very popular.
They passed through Nanshan Street and arrived at an unknown street near the foot of Buzhou Mountain. On both sides of this street were some large houses surrounded by white walls and blue tiles.
When they reached the end of the street, they stopped in front of a garden-style mansion with white walls and blue tiles. On the red painted door of this mansion, there was a plaque with the word "Single Mansion" written on it. Perhaps it was because it was dark at night and the doors of the large houses on both sides of the street were closed, making this street look particularly eerie and quiet!
Shan Wentian let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Shan Mansion, walked to the door and knocked the knocker lightly. Not long after, a steward opened the door and saw Shi Shaodong's house. He was extremely excited! He quickly welcomed them in.
After Shan Wentian entered Shan Mansion, he quickly confessed to Jining, saying that he had something urgent and needed to find his father. Then he ordered the steward to take Jining Shan's back room to rest, and Jining didn't care and followed Shan's servants.
Shan Mansion covers a large area, and Jining followed the steward for almost a quarter of an hour before arriving at the back house. The back house of the Shan Mansion is a large garden. It seems that there are usually few people around. There are many trees and flowers planted in the garden. Although it is difficult to see clearly because of the dark sky, the strong fragrance of the flowers still refreshes the heart and lungs, making Jining I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The steward took Jining to a two-story building, pushed the door into a living room, lit the candle in the lantern and said quickly, this is Jining's resting place, let Jining rest for a while in the living room, and he will arrange food and drinks immediately. Then he retreated. Jining secretly thought that this steward not only knows how to read people's hearts and minds, but also knows how to act appropriately. It seems that the stewards of wealthy families in Kyoto are also extraordinary!
