after the villain

14.

No one would have thought that looking at the deserted beauty with such a violent temper, there was actually a boning knife hidden under the cloak for skinning and breaking bones!

The blade is three inches longer than the usual boning knife, thin and sharp, with a cold light.

The shopkeeper settled accounts at the counter all the year round, but he had never seen such a battle before, his legs went limp from fright, and he fell down on the steps.

As soon as Ji Wuming drew his knife, Lin Yuezhi and Yan Jingyu were the first to react, holding down their weapons one after another.However, before they could move, a black shadow flashed in front of them, and the half-disfigured man in black slapped him fiercely on the head.

The confrontation between masters is changing rapidly, the man is caught off guard by a blow, and everyone has no time to react.

Ji Wuming's eyes were cold, and he raised the horizontal knife with his wrist to block it.

One palm and one knife met, two completely different internal forces collided, one strong and one negative, and the two of them were pushed back by the other's internal force at the same time.

Ji Wuming bumped into the handrail of the stairs, the stair treads were narrow, he couldn't help stepping on the air, his body was unstable, and the man in black raised his palm again when he saw this, and approached him.

Yan Jingyu's wrist flicked, the dagger in his sleeve slashed away, and he turned sideways to stop the unkind man.

The blue-clothed youth's downcast eyebrows were extremely fierce, and his dark phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent, which made people feel frightened.

Lin Yuezhi was a few steps away from the stairs, spat "Bastard", stepped on the handrail, raised the sledgehammer in her hand and smashed it, but she was a step too late.

The chains of the meteor hammer clanked, and she yelled in a coquettish voice, "Eat my old lady with a hammer!"

The man in black couldn't avoid it, he took a hard blow, and with a muffled grunt, he clutched his chest and was forced to take a few steps back.

"Huh! I'm not dead yet, how can I let you wait for the children to show off their prestige!" Lin Yuezhi squatted on the handrail, because Ji Wuming was attacked just now and she couldn't stop him in time, so annoyed, she kicked and waved Meteor Hammer, those who show their teeth and claws are about to smash away.

"..." The man in black lowered his hands and raised his hands, ready to attack, without any fear.

"—A Chou!" He fell down from upstairs with a cold sound.

The man in black froze, Lin Yuezhi was also grabbed by Yan Jingyu and lifted up by the collar.

"Zhuzi, don't stop me!" Lin Yuezhi completely ignored her temper, turned her head and bit at it.

Yan Jingyu flipped the saber over with sharp eyes and hands, the back of the saber was sent forward, and was caught in one bite.The smell of iron spread from the tip of her tongue to her entire mouth, and Lin Yuezhi fluttered twice in the air unwillingly, but she couldn't break free from the restraint of the young man in Tsing Yi.

Both Yan Guitian and Nangong Cheng had sullen faces. Seeing this scene suddenly, they couldn't hold back for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and their expressions couldn't help being a little distorted.

Ji Wuming had already stood still and retracted the knife, letting Yan Jingyu put him down.

He glanced at Lin Yuezhi's flank, "You can't beat him."

It can be regarded as explaining the reason why Yan Jingyu stopped her.

Lin Yuezhi's face turned blue and white, a little unwilling, and gritted her back molars to admit it.

Now that her old injury has not healed, she can beat a low-level bandit ten times with one, but if she goes to the ring to compete, she may not be able to win Gu Cong within a hundred moves.

The man in black knew at a glance that his internal strength was deep, even if she faced her in her prime, she might not be able to retreat unscathed.

"...I was reckless." Lin Yuezhi bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

Ji Wuming neither blamed nor relieved.

Lin Yuezhi has high martial arts skills, and is second only to him in the palace as one of the protectors. She has always been used to doing things in her own way.If she doesn't realize the mistake, then it's useless to say a thousand words and ten thousand. If she realizes it, she won't need people to talk nonsense, and she will try her best to correct it.

Ji Wuming lowered his eyes and straightened his clothes.

The young man leaned down from the window and looked at him worriedly, "It's my servant who is being rude, what's wrong with Miss Ah Man?"

Ji Wuming didn't raise his head, but Yan Jingyu's dark eyes stared at him fiercely, like a wolf staring at its prey.

Suddenly someone shouted "Deng Butou is here", and saw several yamen servants break away from the crowd and rush in.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a full beard, and he was Deng Butou, a green forest hero recruited by the imperial court.

"Who is making trouble here?" Deng Butou's voice was like a bell, and he looked dignified.

The shopkeeper has already made up his mind, and he didn't expect that the head catchers will come. Usually, the reporter is not sure to come!

He quickly got up with an "ouch", and quickly ran down to greet the officials. Of course, he didn't forget to ask other servants to lead the way for Ji Wuming, a group of unfriendly guys.

Ji Wuming stepped up to the third floor and heard voices downstairs.

"Deng Butou, what kind of wind brought you here?" The shopkeeper flatteredly greeted him, and explained while serving tea, "There is no trouble, it's just that the guests had some quarrels, and I have made it clear gone."

Deng catches his head and glances at him, "Really?"

Those who are not to be messed with have already gone up to the third floor, and the shopkeeper pointed around, but he was very calm, "Look."

Butou Deng didn't say anything else, he just said, "I'm patrolling nearby, and I heard that there's trouble here, so I came to have a look, there's nothing better."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and asked, "Why are you still patrolling? The city is not peaceful anymore?"

"It's not peaceful..." Deng Butou paused, and shivered when he thought of something.

Under the favor of the shopkeeper, he lowered his voice and revealed a little, "Something strange happened in the mass grave outside Huaiyang City, and there were more than a dozen new corpses with horrific deaths overnight, all of them were dead. After being sucked dry, the county magistrate sent many brothers to investigate..."

Ji Wuming stopped at the door of Tianzi No. [-] room, distracted by the conversation downstairs.

He frowned, faintly having a bad premonition.

"Wait, Miss Ah Man!" A voice interrupted abruptly.

The young man of the foreign race pushed open the door of Tianzi No. [-] room and came out, bowing his hands with a smile on his face, as if he was very familiar with him, "The border gate is so big, it is fate to meet again, just now the slave bumped into the girl, Luo Qi should Apologize to the girl."

Ji Wuming's thoughts were interrupted by him, and he listened to one girl after another, the coldness in his eyes was condensed, and his tone was cold, "No need."

Luo Qi lowered his posture: "I—"

"Aman, I think your room is better, let's change it." Lin Yuezhi, who had already reached the gate of Tianzi No. The Tianzi No. [-] room is directly opposite.

She glared at Luo Qi who had a stern face, and slammed the door hard with a "bang".

Ji Wuming had nothing to do, and went to the depths of the corridor.Luo Qi still wanted to speak, but Yan Jingyu deliberately walked in the middle and cut off his words again.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" He pretended to ask casually.

Downstairs Deng Butou has already left, but Ji Wuming still thinks about what he mentioned, and casually talks about eating noodles.

Yan Jingyu agreed, sent him into the room, and then walked back to Tianzi No. [-] room. He knocked on the door, and was scolded by the old man inside before he could speak.

"The old man is busy, don't eat or eat!"

Yan Jingyu turned around to leave without saying a word.

Luo Qi opened his mouth to chat with him, "You..."

Yan Jingyu went downstairs with a blank expression, and turned into the corridor on the second floor.

Luo Qi: "..."

Under Xiao Zhan's trembling gaze, the young man suddenly smiled, his delicate and beautiful facial features made him look very friendly.

The moment the door closed, the smiling face disappeared instantly.

"A ugly slave."

He turned around calmly, picked up the Mobei scimitar on the table, and with a twist of his wrist, he slashed at the man in black kneeling on the ground.

"You are so brave!"

……

The power of the evil palace is compressed within the border of Qingzhou, and there are even many news channels in Mobei, but after leaving Anyang, there are some troubles.

Huaiyang City is the central city of border merchants and trade, and various forces are intricate, and there are blond and blue-eyed aliens everywhere. Chi Luochan entered Yanzhou alone, and she did not wantonly use the Nether Slaves like Chi Luo Yuanyi. Without obvious features, it is not easy to find the traces of a person's movements.

Even though Lin Yuezhi had sent Guan Duhong and other subordinates to investigate, there was no news for a while.

It took several days in a row before there were any signs of it.

"Chi Luochan seems to have fought with someone before entering Yanzhou. I'm still investigating who it is. We entered Huaiyang City and stayed for a few days. Before entering the city, we had already left for the south. We should have reached Surabaya by now."

Surabaya is on the edge of Huaiyang, and it only takes one day by boat, and it is the inner city of Surabaya. If you go by land, you have to pass through a mass grave before reaching the suburban village of Surabaya.

Ji Wuming nodded his fingers thoughtfully, "If you go further south, you will enter Jizhou."

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into nine parts by prefectural capitals. From north to south, they were Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Tongzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Hanzhou, Nanman and coastal Lingnan.

Among them, Jiangnan is in Yangzhou, Nanning is in Tongzhou, and Luoyang, the capital of Kyoto, is in Jizhou.

Lin Yuezhi gasped, "Chi Luochan won't go to Jizhou, will he?"

The Nether Sect is domineering in Mobei. People in the Central Plains martial arts don't know it's normal, but it's impossible for the imperial court not to know.Regardless of whether it is Mobei or Southern Xinjiang, all nomads are the confidants of Dazhou. The Nether Sect is so active in Dacheng, how could it not be noticed by those in power.

In the imperial court, the Nether Sect is definitely more eye-catching than the evil palace.

Chi Luochan went to Jizhou, no doubt taking risks.

Lin Yue knew whether Chi Luochan really dared to go alone.

Ji Wuming whispered, "That depends on whether what she wants is worth it."

After saying that, he moved and heard some voices vaguely. He listened carefully to identify them, and sure enough, there was a knock on the door after a while.

"Eat." It was Yan Jingyu.

Lin Yuezhi was taken aback by him, "Are you a mouse or a cat? How many times have I told you to make footsteps and don't scare people! Don't scare people!"

Yan Jingyu didn't even look at her, and looked directly at Ji Wuming.

As soon as the three of them came out, Luo Qi also opened the door, pretending to be surprised and saying "Aman girl, what a coincidence", and went down with them cheekily.

Halfway through the meal, there was a lot of mourning and crying outside.

Ji Wuming looked, and first saw Deng Butou, who was in a state of desperation and being mixed with others, and saw the yamen servants carrying corpses covered in white cloth into the city, each walking in a hurry with fear in their eyes.
