"Overlord Flower", Qin Yue'er had changed into a man's robe and covered her body completely. She was wearing a bamboo hat, so no one would notice that she was a girl.
She had walked eastward through the martial arts world, giving up on the main road of the well-developed city. She had always set out in the early hours of the morning to avoid being noticed by others.
On this day, she came to the Zhenjiang Mansion in Jiangnan. This could also be considered a very famous town in Jiangnan. People came and went, trickling in and out endlessly. There was a very eye-catching notice pasted on the wall, and it was a bounty notice.
A skilled man is bold. Qin Yue'er really wanted to know if the Four Great Clans wanted to arrest her as a wanted criminal. "She leaned over to take a closer look and was relieved to see that it was a false alarm.
It turned out that a local rapist had appeared, nicknamed "One Flower." This thief was extremely hateful. He had harmed a region and had already harmed several noble young ladies. The local authorities have opened a case to investigate and seize the villains.
However, the thief was so fast that the officials could not catch him no matter how many times they tried to hunt him down. Today, the local people were in a panic. At night, every household was closed, and no one dared to step out. The officials were helpless and had no choice but to post bounty advertisements to search for martial arts experts. If anyone could capture this thief, they would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.
As a woman, Qin Yue'er was filled with righteous indignation when she saw this announcement. Women like flowers like a dream, flowers blooming from time to time, easy to wither. It's not easy to be born, but it's the easiest to get hurt, often the worst. How could there be such a beast in this world that debased women like this? Thinking of the pain, Qin Yue-er made up her mind to stay in Zhenjiang Manor and never stop until this thief was killed. Soon, she found an inn to stay in and rested for the time being.
At night, the Zhenjiang Mansion was completely silent. Every household had their doors locked tight and would not leave. At this time, a shadow flew out from under the roof of the inn. In the blink of an eye, the shadow had already disappeared into the night sky.
It was a dark, moonless night, and it was time to kill and rob people. This was the kind of day they were talking about. In ancient times, there was no fluorescent light anywhere. The neon lights could illuminate the entire night like the white dawn. The entire city was submerged in a sea of light.
There was no one on the streets of Zhenjiang Mansion. Other than the candles and firewood, there was no other light that could be seen at night. The entire city was pitch black, and no one could be seen. They were all in a deep slumber. Even if a figure suddenly appeared in the city, who would notice?
Suddenly, a shout came from the dark night, "Someone, come! "There's —" Before he could finish, the voice abruptly stopped.
There was a shadow that had jumped out and there was a bag on its back. Judging from the shape, it was most likely a person. Could it be that 'a flower' had appeared again to do evil? The person who had shouted just now had been killed by this person.
In the dark night, Qin Yue'er suddenly heard that sharp shout. Without stopping for a moment, she immediately headed in that direction. I wonder if my luck is too good or too bad! He just happened to bump into the thief.
She jumped in fright, only to see that person's back pocket, thinking of the shout just now, loudly shouted: "Stop!" Just as she was about to stop him, that person, listening to her nonsense, turned around and ran.
"Scoundrel, run!" Qin Yue'er couldn't contain her anger and chased after him. Suddenly, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes. It was fast! Qin Yue'er saw everything clearly and dodged to the side. She flew into a rage: What a good thief, you still dare to use hidden weapons, let's see where you can run to today. In just a short moment, that person had already ran farther and farther away. Qin Yue'er saw that something was wrong and immediately chased after him.
It was a wonderful moment. The two black shadows dodged in the air, jumping up and down as if they were walking on flat ground. At this moment, they could not distance themselves! That thief also knew that he would meet a true expert tonight, but he couldn't shake her off even if he wanted to. His concealed weapon had been thrown out, but it had disappeared without a trace. It was obviously useless. At this moment, if he wasn't careful, it would be difficult! Furthermore, there was still one more person on his back. As time passed, it would become harder for him to escape.
He had a plan in his heart. Qin Yue'er was wary of his concealed weapons and didn't dare to chase after him. However, she merely followed him, unable to escape her pursuit. The martial arts he had trained in these past few years were not in vain. Now, all he had to do was focus on these two legs.
At this moment, that person jumped into a house and hid. Qin Yue'er secretly took note of it and also jumped down, landing on her feet. However, he didn't hear a sound. He knew that the person must have been hiding in the darkness and hadn't gone far. Trying to run away from her without making a sound right under her nose was just a dream!
If there was a light, Qin Yue'er might have seen a person hiding nearby. That person had already hidden his bag and was now facing Qin Yue'er with all his might. It was so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers, and the air seemed to be suffocating.
The two of them held their breath and paid close attention to their surroundings. In fact, they didn't know that the two were getting closer and closer. They were only ten steps away from each other. As long as they stabbed forward, the battle would be over.
Suddenly, Qin Yue'er stopped. She seemed to have sensed something and firmly stared forward. At this moment, she stopped moving towards the direction of the thief. She didn't act rashly and raised her hand. "I only heard a sound not far away from her." "Go to hell!"
the man shouted. A black shadow appeared out of the darkness and pounced on nothing. Where did he come from? He knew he had been tricked, but it was too late! Qin Yue-er lashed out with her leg whip. The man instinctively used his hand to block but was sent flying with a kick and fell to the ground.
His blood was boiling, he was out of breath, and his hands were in terrible pain. With just this one exchange of blows, the thief suffered a great loss. Killing intent immediately surged in his heart.
Qin Yue'er allowed him time to catch his breath and immediately pounced on him. Receiving a whip kick from her, how could he recover his wits? It was better to chase down the remaining courage to chase the poor bandits. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes. That person had already taken out a dagger and was rushing towards her. I was afraid you wouldn't come. Qin Yue'er did not dodge or retreat. She faced it with her bare hands and stared fixedly at the cold light in her eyes.
The man waved the dagger back and forth, and the two men locked hands again. He punched and kicked, his fists and legs interlocked with each other. It was an extremely intense fight, and it was difficult to determine the victor. The situation was suddenly in a deadlock.
Qin Yue'er dreaded his dagger. If she wasn't careful, it would injure her. This was no joke. Killing a tiger would result in a backlash. She immediately pulled out the moon-washing knife that was attached to her body. It was cold and dazzling like the crescent moon. The cold and oppressive aura came directly to her soul.
That person could not help but be astounded. The blade was shorter than an ordinary sword and much longer than the dagger. As the saying goes, one inch longer, one inch stronger. That person immediately jumped in fright. He knew that the situation wasn't good. His earlier battle with Qin Yue'er had caused him to be a little short of breath. If he didn't leave now, when would he be able to?
He no longer hesitated as a cold light flashed in his hand. It cut through the air and struck directly at Qin Yue'er's face.
Qin Yue'er's gaze was bright as she stared intently. Damn it, it was another concealed weapon. In the dark night, her eyes had not recovered enough to risk her life to forcefully receive the hidden weapon. Moreover, he didn't know what kind of concealed weapon it was. If it was a silver needle or a lethal poison, it would be very troublesome.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Qin Yue'er somersaulted to the side and escaped. Fortunately, she was able to dodge fast. A cold light flashed and she was not hit. When she looked again, the pervert had already run far away. Qin Yue'er tried to give chase, but it was difficult for her to catch up. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to give up.
Suddenly, she remembered that the person's package was in the vicinity. Because the attack was too fast, that wretched thief had no chance to take it away, so the package must still be here somewhere.
"Is there anyone here?" Qin Yue'er shouted. A shout in the middle of the night was enough to scare people. At this moment, not a single person could be seen, so how could anyone possibly pay attention to her? In the middle of the night, people came to visit like ghosts or robbers. After shouting for a long time, he finally shouted for nothing.
An idea came to her mind, and she shouted angrily: "Come out, master! Otherwise I'll set the house on fire. "
"Don't burn my house, don't burn my house! "No way!" At this moment, a small old man jumped out and pleaded loudly. These days, houses are the basis for people to settle down and live and eat. Once the house was gone, the family would only be able to live on the streets in the open.
"It's good that you're out!" Seeing that this plan had worked, Qin Yue'er smiled and greeted her master, "Rest assured master, I will not burn your house. I chased a thief all the way here. "We need to find a big package. I hope the host can help us out a bit, okay?"
When the old man heard that he would not be able to burn down his house, he had nothing to worry about. Hearing that she still had something she wanted to ask for, he loudly shouted, "Why? If you ask me to look for it, I'll just look for it. Who are you? Get out, you're not welcome here. Get out, get out, get out! " When he spoke, he used both hands and feet to push her away.
Suddenly, he found that his hand felt like it was pushing against a huge rock. No matter how hard he tried, the other party was unable to move at all. When he saw that Qin Yue'er's expression was off, it was clear that she was suppressing her anger. He was alarmed and didn't dare to speak any more nonsense. This was not a person to be trifled with. Who would dare to walk outside in the middle of the night? He muttered, "Look at me —"
His expression immediately changed and his attitude was quite good. He said humbly and courteously, "Sir, how should I address you? Looking for something, right? It's okay, it's okay. I'll help you find it immediately. Big girl, second girl, quickly come out! "
Not long later, the lights in the room lit up. Qin Yue'er looked at her surroundings carefully. This was a house belonging to an ordinary family; it was very simple and crude. At this time, he saw two young girls walk out timidly, as if they were afraid to see strangers, and muttered: "Grandpa, is something the matter?"
Qin Yue'er didn't waste any more time on idle chatter. She called for a torch and asked them to search for something in this small courtyard. The owner did not dare to be negligent, so he eagerly followed behind.
At the urging of the family, she quickly found the package. To be exact, it was not a package, but a large sack. Opening it to take a look, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, revealing a young and beautiful girl inside. This girl was as beautiful as a flower. She was young and beautiful, and even though she wasn't awake yet, her beauty attracted the affection of others.
Qin Yue'er thought back to that thief who had just run away. Now, all of them understood. Sure enough, that person was definitely a rapist, "One Flower". This thief who deserved to be killed a thousand times had come out again to commit evil. Qin Yue-er was infuriated. If she had known earlier, she would have chopped him in half with a single strike to prevent future troubles.
"Miss, wake up!" Qin Yue'er carried her out and shook her head, but it didn't have any effect. If she had known earlier, she would have brought the pills to wake her up. Tonight, he went out in a hurry and only brought medicine and a moon washing knife. How could he think of anything else? He immediately called for Er Niu, "Hurry up and get a bowl of clear water."
Not long later, the girl brought her a bowl of clear water.
Qin Yue'er took the bowl and slowly poured it into the lady's mouth. After a while, the girl slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar people in front of her, she shouted, "Who are you? I don't know you. Where am I? "Let me go back, I want to go home!" It was obvious that the fright from earlier was not light. How could he calm down?
Everyone hurriedly said to her: "Lady, don't be afraid! "Don't be afraid!" Hurry and hold her, don't let her panic too much.
The girl saw that everyone was stopping her and said anxiously: "I want to go home! "Let me go home!"
"Where is your home?" Qin Yue'er asked her with concern.
The girl said loudly, "The Yu Mansion on Flower Lodge Street is my home."
The family member was shocked and asked in a lost voice, "Who are you in the Yu Mansion?"
Seeing everyone's concerned and sincere gazes, this girl was no longer as scared as she was before. She said to them: "Zhenjiang Yu Mansion is my father, I am his third daughter, Yu Xin'er."
"You are the third lady, Miss Yu!" the host asked, stunned.
Perhaps Qin Yue'er was an outsider and didn't know about the Zhenjiang Yu family, but the locals all knew that this Yu family was a rich and powerful family. He was rich, he was rich, and he was one of the most wealthy people in Zhenjiang. The Yu Family's Master Yu was a well-known figure in the local area. He had great prestige and no one dared to offend him. This "flower" was truly a bold and audacious person. It dared to touch Miss Yu. It really hated to think that its lifespan was too long.
Qin Yue-er asked about her background but didn't mind. She felt at ease and told her, "Don't worry, Miss Yu! I'll take you home. " The host was beaming with joy. This was a great achievement.
He could already imagine that if Miss Yu returned safely, Lord Yu would definitely receive a heavy reward for his "great joy and glory." Then he would be rich, so he would go with them no matter what. Just like that, the three of them walked towards Flower Lounge Street.
