In the evening.
The autumn rain continues to fall.
After Luo Qingzhou sent Sister Dao to Eighteenth Lane, he went home holding an oil-paper umbrella.
When walking through an alley, I saw a little girl hiding under the eaves, selling candied haws. Her thin body was shivering in the cold autumn wind.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but think of the girl at home.
He walked over, asked the price, took out some change, and bought a whole stick of candied haws.
The little girl stood there blankly, holding the silver. It was not until his back disappeared in the wind and rain in the distance that she came to her senses and happily went home with the silver change.
Luo Qingzhou held an umbrella in one hand and carried a candied haws in the other, walking forward in the wind and rain. Occasionally he would tilt his head to take a bite and chew it slowly in his mouth.
When he crossed another street and walked into an alley, he suddenly found a familiar figure standing sideways in the alley ahead.
She was wearing a black leather skirt, black stockings, and black leather boots. She was tall and slender. She was holding an oil-paper umbrella that covered her head and cheeks. A black leather whip was wrapped around her slender waist.
Above the whip are two tall and straight breasts.
Under the whip is a pair of straight and slender legs with perfect proportions, round and straight at the back, and the black leather skirt is stretched into a perfect and attractive arc.
She stood there quietly, her chin slightly raised, as if looking at the water drops under the eaves in front of her.
Luo Qingzhou paused, turned around and prepared to leave.
Just after taking two steps, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Chu Feiyang, I am not here to cause trouble to you today. I just want to ask you a question, and then I will leave."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, turned around and said, "Ask."
Nangong Meijiao raised the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, revealing a delicate and cold face. She looked at him indifferently and said, "Do you hate me very much?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes."
Nangong Meijiao asked: "How annoying is it?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I hate you so much. I don't want to see you again."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him calmly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou asked, "Didn't you ask Sister Dao to tell me last night that you would never see me again?"
Nangong Meijiao lowered her head slightly, paused, then looked up at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, I know why you do this to me."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Didn't you just say that you would only ask me one question and leave after that?"
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, then stared at him for a while, then nodded gently and said, "Okay, I understand. We will never see each other again. The grudges in the past..."
Before she could finish, Luo Qingzhou turned around and left, waving his hand and saying, "Let's forget it. I won't take it to heart."
Nangong Meijiao watched his back gradually walk away until he disappeared at the alley in front of her. She stood there for a long time before turning around and saying, "Auntie Mu, let's go home. I want to consider the marriage that Dad proposed to me last time."
After a pause, she took out a bag of lime from her storage ring and murmured, "From today on, I will be a real princess. I will never use this lime again."
After saying that, he raised his hand and threw it into the corner.
Aunt Mu came out from the corner next to her, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Miss, I just got the news that Zhang Yan'er's people have found the Qin Mansion and may attack Mr. Luo directly. A warrior named Lei Shi took over the task, and he is now..."
"It's none of my business."
Nangong Meijiao looked indifferent, walked directly out of the alley, and said, "Let's go home."
The two men, holding umbrellas, walked one in front and one behind, and soon disappeared into the alley.
Luo Qingzhou took a detour to go home. Just as he entered Maple Leaf Alley, he suddenly saw two men holding umbrellas, standing stealthily at the gate of Qin's mansion, craning their necks to look inside.
When Luo Qingzhou walked behind them, they noticed it and immediately turned around, looking at him nervously.
"Who are you looking for?"
Luo Qingzhou stared into their eyes and asked.
One of the short men quickly said with a big smile on his face: "Sir, is this Zhang's residence? We are here to look for Mr. Zhang."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "It's the Zhang Mansion. I am Master Zhang. What do you want to see me for?"
Two men: “…”
The short man's smile froze, and he quickly bowed and asked, "But is it Master Zhang Zhengfeng?"
He secretly complained in his heart: I made up the Zhang Mansion and Young Master Zhang and it worked. I don’t believe you can get it right if I make up another random name!
Unexpectedly, the young scholar in Confucian robes nodded and said, "Yes, I am Zhang Zhengfeng. What do you want from me?"
Short man: “…”
The atmosphere in the field suddenly became awkward.
The tall man's face darkened and he said, "Someone asked us to tell you something. Be careful when you walk next time. If you bump into someone by accident, apologize. Don't just walk away. That's very rude!"
After saying that, he pulled the short man away quickly.
Walk out of the alley.
The short man muttered in confusion, "How come they all hit the mark? My luck is so good? I can even guess this? Do you think I should go and gamble a few times?"
The tall man immediately cursed: "Idiot, I am deliberately making fun of you, can't you see that?"
The short man was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately said angrily: "This little bastard, I'm going to settle the score with him!"
The tall man grabbed him and shouted, "I said you are stupid, you are really stupid! That man is wearing a Confucian robe, he is young, and he is handsome. He is probably the one the young lady is looking for."
When the short man heard this, he immediately said happily, "Really? Then wouldn't we be the first to find him? What a great achievement!"
The tall man said in a cold voice, "It should be him. The young lady hates that guy so much that she gnashed her teeth. The master and mistress are also furious at home and say they must cut that guy into pieces. We will be the first to find him this time, and we will definitely be rewarded a lot."
The short man's face was immediately filled with excitement: "We are so lucky today. After we get the reward money, we will go and gamble a few times. We will definitely win."
The tall man glared at him again and said, "Gambling, gambling, all you do all day is gamble! You haven't finished your work yet? Do you think it's enough to just find where that guy lives? Humph, then we might have to take action and kill and bury the body."
As he was speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked back.
There were few pedestrians behind him and no suspicious figures.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, hurry up and inform Brother Shi first."
The two of them immediately quickened their pace.
In an alley not far behind the two of them, a figure followed out silently. It was Luo Qingzhou, dressed in tight clothes and wearing a mask.
The sky was dark and it was still drizzling.
The short man and the tall man were talking in low voices while walking quickly with umbrellas. They soon turned into an alley and entered a yard.
When Luo Qingzhou followed into the alley, he suddenly heard the sound of whips lashing coming from a courtyard, as well as the sounds of many people shouting and fighting.
"Kill them! Kill them now!"
"Bring me some water, I can't see, ah..."
“Fuck! You despicable little bitch, capture her alive for me, I want... ah bah bah bah... bring me some water!”
"Ah—it's so hot!"
Luo Qingzhou listened at the door for a while, his heart full of doubts. He immediately stepped forward and gently pushed the half-open door.
The door slowly opened a crack.
The scene in the yard stunned him.
The whole yard was filled with white powder. Seven or eight men, armed with swords and covered in white, were running around in the yard. Several of them were already lying on the ground.
A familiar figure in a white cloak, with a gas mask on his face and a long black whip in his hand, was fighting fiercely with a man in the early stage of martial arts.
Just as the other men were about to attack, the figure immediately threw out a cloud of lime.
Moreover, while the figure was waving the whip and fighting, he kept throwing large bags of lime into the air.
The lime fluttered and fell from the air.
Even though it was drizzling, it could not stop the scattering of the lime powder because there was too much of it.
The ground in the yard was covered with lime juice wet by the rain.
The lime on the figure's body seemed endless.
"This lime is poisonous!"
"Hold your breath!"
Someone shouted, and several men suddenly felt weak and dizzy. They ran towards the gate in a hurry, not knowing whether to escape or leave the lime battlefield.
The tall man and the short man who had just entered had just run to the gate when the gate suddenly opened. Then two fists rushed in from outside the door with a "bang" and hit the two men's chests heavily!
The two men had almost no time to react, their chests suddenly caved in, and they flew out, dying on the spot!
The other two men who were running towards the gate saw this scene, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Brother Shi! They have someone else!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two men finished speaking, the figure standing outside the door suddenly bounced in front of them. With a "bang", two more punches directly hit their heads, causing them to explode, and they died instantly!
Several people who were fighting looked over here.
In the white powder, the man who just rushed in from the door was wearing a black suit and a gas mask. His appearance could not be seen clearly. At this moment, he was killing people ferociously, one punch at a time, and his actions were extremely cruel!
The girl, who was waving a whip and fighting with the man who was in the early stage of martial arts, froze in place when she saw this figure and the gas mask on his face.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, a man suddenly appeared behind her, took the opportunity to punch her on the back, and knocked her out.
The man standing opposite her grinned fiercely and was about to punch her in the face when he suddenly heard a deafening mooing of a cow in his ears!
"boom!"
Before he could react, a figure suddenly came rushing over like lightning, hitting him heavily on the right side of his waist and knocking him away.
Then, the figure landed on the ground, stretched out his arms, and caught the flying girl. He held her and spun her backwards twice before placing her steadily on the ground.
"Miss!"
The woman who was being besieged by two people in the corner turned her head and was stunned.
The man who saved her young lady was also wearing an animal mask on his face, which was quite similar to the one her young lady was wearing.
However, her young lady was wearing a white tiger mask, while the man was wearing a black tiger mask...
