Xie Ming

Chapter 568 Chasing and Bite
Chang Ting carelessly left his bag behind, so Xiao Xing and the other two changed their route before leaving and went to explore the deserted alley and the small courtyard where their friends came from.

Outside the house, there were seven or eight dead bodies lying in various positions. They were all members of the escort team.

In the room, the escort leader Cheng Yong died tragically. Behind the bed, his granddaughter Cheng Xiuying was also tied up and assaulted. She was naked and left alone. The humiliation was tragic!

At this juncture, Generals Xiao, Gu and Yue were all at a loss in the room, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Da, da, da da
Just as Xiao and Yue were confronting each other, Gu Changting, with a dazed look on his face, actually dragged his feet and moved towards the bed.

There were tears in his eyes, which looked moist.

Suddenly he raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose. He looked sad, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked distraught.

He was in a panic, taking difficult steps, and in a daze, he picked up two women's coats that were torn to pieces.

When he reached the bed, he bent down, covered the girl with clothes with trembling hands, and untied the ropes that bound Xiuying's hands and feet.

Because he had to bury his head, two lines of tears fell down, but he didn't care and remained silent for a long time.

The house became quieter as well.

After a long while, Changting finally began to sing again with a tremolo.

"Xiu, Miss Xiuying, let me take the thing out of your mouth."

"Tell me who did it!"

"I just need the name, leave the rest to me!"

After saying that, Changting came over in a daze and pulled away the thing that was blocking his mouth.

But the girl had a dazed look in her eyes and did not move for a while.

There is no greater sorrow than death. Although Xiuying is still alive, it is a pity that her dazed expression and the trauma she has suffered in her heart may not be able to be cured by medicine in the short term. She can only save herself to survive.

“Xiuying?”

"name!"

"Just give me a name!" Chang Ting persisted and continued to ask.

It's all in vain.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingchuan, who was not far from the door, signaled and led Yue Xiu and his companions out of the house first.

When Su returned to the courtyard, Xiao Lang came up to him with a solemn look and whispered to him.

"Yue Xiu, do we have any manpower around here right now?" Xiao asked calmly.

"Yes, there is a team waiting to be summoned by the Duke at any time." Yue Xiu took a step ahead and answered more quickly.

"That's good."

"Call them all over quickly."

"First, search carefully in the carriage area in the courtyard and make sure to find the bundle."

"Second, the girl Xiuying in the house is pitiful, find someone to properly house her."

"Don't make any more mistakes. I want this girl to live well. Do you understand?!" Xiao Yanling.

"I understand!" Yue Ying.

“Well, there is one more thing.”

After that, Xiao Jingchuan wanted to issue more orders.

But at this moment, suddenly, a figure seemed to flash past on the low wall outside the yard.

At this moment, Xiao's expression was tense and he could not escape his eyes.

Then he turned his head away and shouted in a low voice.

"Who?!"

At the same time, the man walked a few steps and appeared at the gate of the courtyard. He was dressed in plain clothes and knelt on one knee with his fist clasped.

"Ah, Lord, this is one of ours."

Yue Xiu saw the situation and wanted to avoid misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained to Xiao Lang first.

Soon, the man went to the courtyard gate again.

"Tell us what you have found!" Ling came.

"Yes!"

"Report to the Duke, more than a hundred households."

"Two alleys away, we found the perpetrators, fourteen in number, hurrying away from here."

"I don't know if I should send someone to track him down."

"Please give me your instructions!"

The plainclothes Jinyiwei came back with a brief report, neat and efficient.

Hearing this, Xiao Ben wanted to say something, but hurried footsteps were heard in the house, and a barbarian head ran out.

"Where?"

"Take me there quickly."

Changting had sharp hearing, and he must have heard the news from the inner room, so he was furious and angry, so he ignored the people around him and appeared in the courtyard, eager to seek revenge. Xiao and Yue were shocked when they heard the news, but they didn't try to stop him.

Following Xiao's tacit consent, Yue Xiu gave a glance and passed on the order. The subordinate who was standing at the gate of the courtyard also understood what he meant.

Without any further delay, Changting grabbed his men and ran out. Xiao Lang was worried and followed him.

Suddenly, Yue Xiu was the only one left in the courtyard.

After that, a whistle was heard, and Yue Xiu also hurriedly dealt with the matter.

Shuijing Lane.

To be honest, this Penglai Inn was not as dilapidated as it is now thirty years ago.

At that time, there was a sweet water well at the end of the alley in the center of this old city.

The residents living nearby all depend on this deep well for water.

Back then, this street was once a prosperous market scene.

At that time, Penglai Inn was quite busy and popular.

It’s a pity that times have changed and things are different.

Later, the water flow from that sweet well decreased and almost dried up.

The people living nearby have moved away in the past ten years or so.

It is no longer bustling, its past prosperity disappeared overnight, and over the years, it has become increasingly dilapidated and desolate.

Until now, few people come here, and it has become a deserted village and wild fields.

"Quick! Quick!"

"The ones behind, take two quick steps."

"We can't stay here for long. If we get discovered, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Hurry up!"

Suddenly, in a slightly wider alley to the east of the two forks in Shuijing Lane, a rough man with a hoarse voice came shouting.

Let's carefully distinguish the sound of chaotic footsteps. More than ten people are walking hurriedly in a group.

Afterwards, a clear voice was heard again.

"Tsk, alright, alright."

"Uncle, you've just been fucking that little girl. I see you've wasted a lot of time!"

"You're fucking anxious and scared right now."

"What were you doing so early?!"

He raised his voice and teased, directly responding to the words that had just been spoken.

Upon hearing this, the rough man was speechless, and after stuttering and trying to evade the question twice in vain, he dared not say any more.

Just as a line of more than ten people were about to reach the other end of the street not far away!
Suddenly, a figure appeared and blocked the road!

The man was holding a sword, which had already been unsheathed, revealing its sharp edge.

As he moved sideways two steps, the tip of the knife dragged on the ground. It looked like he was up to no good!

"Uh, stop, wait, wait!"

At this moment, the alley suddenly changed. The tall, rough man who was leading the way and was called Silly Uncle stopped his legs and used his big arms to block the people behind him.

"Young Master."

"That's not right. This guy looks like he's ready to fight for his life."

"Is it because it just rained? We haven't gotten rid of the roots yet!"

"Or is there really someone who came here so quickly?!"

"Take those servants from the mansion and step back first. I will lead the others to push forward."

"Whether it's a human or a ghost, we'll know after two moves."

The rough man stepped back and approached the side of a man in fancy clothes who was surrounded by a group of people, and muttered something in a low voice.

Seeing the situation and looking at their clothes and faces, I guessed that the few people in front might not be with the servants following behind.

If they are not specially recruited thugs, it would be more appropriate if they were at least some guards who practiced martial arts.

"Hey!"

"The boy in front!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"If you know what's best for you, get out of here!"

"I'm counting to three!"

"If you want to make trouble, I'll cut your bones right here and throw you into the fucking toilet to eat shit. Do you believe it?!"
