Catching Monsters

Chapter 116 The Great Scholar Should Be Enough
Jiang Yun looked at Feng Bei'er, who was stunned, and carefully took the sixty taels of silver from her hand.

"Thank you, Miss Feng."

Earned another sixty taels.

At this moment, Xu Suwen's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Jiang Yun, Xu Xiaogang, aren't you two on official business? Why are you here at the Chenming Poetry Gathering?"

Jiang Yun was startled and looked back.

Xu Suwen was holding hands with Jiang Qiaoqiao who was eating candied haws. Jiang Qiaoqiao blinked and looked at Jiang Yun curiously: "Brother, what did you write to Sister Xu?"

This sentence made Jiang Yun choke a little...

He originally just wanted to please Feng Beier...

Who would have thought that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Xu Suwen were also nearby.

Feng Beier looked at Xu Suwen with a bit of envy and said, "Jiang Yun wrote a beautiful poem for you, Miss Xu, you are so lucky."

Xu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, also suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder Jiang Yun had refused to let him take the poem to the Moon-Watching Pavilion to read after it was written.

It turns out it was written to my sister.

This boy is really good at hiding.

Xu Suwen frowned slightly, took a bite of the candy man in his hand, and asked curiously: "You wrote a poem for me? What did you write?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun coughed, forced a smile, and recited: "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman..."

At this moment, fireworks bloomed in the night sky...

Xu Suwen was eating a candy man. After listening to the whole poem, his expression was a little strange. He glared fiercely and said, "Who is a lady? Why are you scolding me?"

"You are not a gentleman either."

"A gentleman is a good match."

"What a ball."

"Come on Qiaoqiao, let's continue shopping and ignore them."

Watching Xu Suwen leading Jiang Qiaoqiao away, Xu Xiaogang coughed and said in Jiang Yun's ear: "My sister, she has practiced martial arts since she was young, and her cultural level is just reading and writing. She has a poor cultural level, so don't mind it..."

Seeing Xu Suwen's back walking away, Jiang Yun covered his forehead with his hands, thinking what a sin.

Feng Bei'er looked at Xu Suwen's departing back with envy. Does this Miss Xu really not know the meaning of this poem?

Or does she not like Jiang Yun, so she acts like this?
Feng Bei'er sighed slightly and turned away.

"This Miss Feng is really a poetry fan." Jiang Yun couldn't help but shook his head.

Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Based on my level of poetry, I'm afraid it won't be acceptable to Miss Feng."

Jiang Yun patted his shoulder and said, "Since ancient times, love has always been full of regrets, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."

Xu Suwen left the street with a smile on her face that she couldn't suppress.

She is not an idiot, how could she not understand the meaning of the poem?
They were just strolling on the street when Jiang Yun suddenly read such a love poem to her in public, which caught her off guard and she didn't know how to respond.

Only then did he quickly leave with Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Sister Xu, why are you smiling foolishly all the time?" Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Suwen beside her, with a hint of curiosity on her face and the corners of her mouth bent.

"You do not understand."

"I understand. After the Chinese New Year, I will be almost seventeen years old." Jiang Qiaoqiao said seriously: "Sister Xu must like my brother, right?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao blinked and said, "I'll make the decision. Let my brother marry you."

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Xu Suwen glared at her, but felt happy in his heart.

The two of them were tired after eating, drinking and playing.

The two of them walked back in the direction of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Once you leave the main street, the surroundings become much quieter, although many shops still have lanterns hanging in front of them.

The lights were dimmed a lot.

After walking for a while, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the surrounding streets.

A woman in white was walking towards me. She had a charming face and a graceful figure.

Xu Suwen frowned slightly, feeling a strange feeling.

She whispered to Jiang Qiaoqiao beside her, "Qiaoqiao, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid, run back to the Duke's Mansion quickly, understand?"

Hearing Xu Suwen's reminder, Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart tightened and she grabbed Xu Suwen's hand.

Just when the beautiful woman in white dress passed by them.

Suddenly, he pulled out a golden snake sword from his waist and stabbed towards Xu Suwen.

Xu Suwen, who had been alert, reacted quickly, holding Jiang Qiaoqiao and dodged to the side.

"Qiaoqiao, run!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and nodded, then fled in the direction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Xu Suwen was unarmed and wearing a long skirt, but she did not retreat at all. Instead, she swung her fist forward.

Her fists were fierce and whistling, but she could hardly hurt the opponent.

Puff.

The lower garment of the woman holding the golden snake sword instantly split open, revealing a snake tail.

Her strength far exceeded Xu Suwen's. She wielded the sword, forcing Xu Suwen to keep dodging the sharp sword.

"Snake demon?" Xu Su asked with frowned brows.

She got into position, dodged the sword, and threw a punch: "Tian Gang Fist!"

This punch, injected with powerful magic power in the body, hit the snake demon's chest, knocking it back several meters.

"The eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion is indeed quite capable." The beautiful snake demon smiled faintly, but was not in a hurry to attack. Xu Suwen asked in a deep voice: "Since you know my identity, you still dare to cause trouble. Do you really think that the Zhenguo Mansion is a vegetarian?"

Are these evil people crazy and suddenly attacking the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?

At this point, Xu Suwen's expression suddenly changed, and he looked in the direction where Jiang Qiaoqiao fled: "Are you here for Qiaoqiao?"

"Hahaha, that girl should have been caught." Upon hearing this, the snake demon showed a weird smile on his face and fled towards the dark alley on the side. It was obvious that he didn't want to get entangled with Xu Suwen any more.

Xu Suwen rushed frantically towards the direction of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

At the same time, Jiang Qiaoqiao's shoes had fallen off in the dark street after turning the corner. Fortunately, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was not far away, and she could vaguely see the lintel of the mansion.

Jiang Qiaoqiao shouted loudly: "Uncle Wu, is anyone here? Come quickly, someone is attacking Sister Xu! Go and save her."

But before she could finish her words, suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the dark street nearby and slapped Jiang Qiaoqiao on the back of the neck.

Jiang Qiaoqiao fainted instantly and was then caught by the black shadow into a dark alley.

At this moment, the door of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion slowly opened.

The servant on night duty scratched his ears, frowned and said, "Hey, did I hear it wrong?"

At this moment, Xu Suwen ran back in a panic, and after seeing the servant, he asked, "Is Qiaoqiao back?"

"Ah, Miss Jiang? I didn't see it."

"Oops!"

"Miss, where are you going?"

"I have to find Jiang Yun."

……

"Ah."

Jiang Yun sneezed. He and Xu Xiaogang were on duty and patrolling at the Chenming Poetry Festival.

Jiang Yun looked at the fireworks flashing in the sky and said, "How many fireworks will be set off and how much money will be burned tonight?"

Looking at the fireworks constantly exploding above his head, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Xu Xiaogang looked at the time and said, "General Wei said that after the poetry reading is over, he will treat us to a good meal."

Suddenly, Xu Suwen's voice was heard from the eaves beside him: "Jiang Yun!"

"Jiang Yun!"

Xu Suwen was wearing a long skirt and flying above the roof. There were too many people at the poetry gathering, so this was the only way to find people.

Xu Xiaogang saw this and said, "Oh, it looks like my sister has come to her senses and knows what the poem means."

"I came here specially to see you."

"Sister, here we are!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Suwen turned around and saw the two of them. She jumped down from the eaves and landed steadily in front of the two of them. She panted and said in a deep voice: "Something happened. Qiaoqiao was taken away."

Jiang Yun, who was originally smiling, froze in an instant: "What?"

Jiang Yun anxiously grabbed Xu Suwen's wrist and asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Suwen quickly told the story.

After hearing this, Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly. A beautiful snake demon?

Someone from the Red Lotus Sect?
Damn it, am I not one of them? Why are they arresting Jiang Qiaoqiao?
Xu Xiaogang next to him said anxiously: "I will go inform General Wei, these evil people will not be able to escape, don't worry."

"Wait." Jiang Yun quickly grabbed Xu Xiaogang's hand and shook his head: "More people is useless."

The guardian named Tang Yifei was far more powerful than himself and was unfathomable.

What's more, Jiang Qiaoqiao is still in their hands, if they lead a large number of Jinyiwei.

Even if they could successfully wipe out that group of people, Jiang Qiaoqiao probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Jiang Yun forced himself to calm down and not panic. He took a deep breath and thought carefully.

Why did this group of people suddenly capture Jiang Qiaoqiao?

Did you find that there is something wrong with you?

No, if Tang Yifei found out that there was something wrong with me, he would probably come and kill me. Why would he go through all the trouble to capture Jiang Qiaoqiao?
"What do you want to do?" Xu Su asked as he watched Jiang Yun's expression changing constantly. There was a rare flash of anger in his eyes.

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "The ones who took Qiaoqiao away are probably the evil people from the Red Lotus Sect."

"No matter what, we have to rescue Qiaoqiao immediately."

Xu Suwen said in a deep voice: "How about asking Captain Yang to help?"

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath and asked, "What rank is Captain Yang?"

"He is at the peak of the fifth rank of martial arts. Don't be fooled by how fat he is. His strength is terrifying."

Jiang Yun shook his head slightly: "Fifth rank? Not enough!"

There can't be any mistakes. Qiaoqiao is my only relative in this world.

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "We must find a master with extraordinary strength who can ensure that even if the Red Lotus Cult members are desperate, they can still protect Qiaoqiao's safety."

Xu Xiaogang said helplessly: "It's late at night, where can I find the expert who can rescue Qiaoqiao as you said?"

Jiang Yun's gaze was directed towards the high platform built by the Renyi Academy in the distance: "A third-rank scholar should be enough."

Xu Xiaogang and Xu Suwen looked at each other, both of them with some shock in their eyes.

Great scholars are transcendental figures in the capital, and it is difficult for ordinary people to leave the academy.

Not to mention asking a great scholar to personally rescue people.

I am afraid that only Your Majesty has such honor in the whole world.

Before the two of them could come to their senses, Jiang Yun had already quickly run towards the platform of Renyi Academy.

"Wait for us." Xu Suwen shouted and hurriedly followed.
