Volume 1: Zhu Xian Town Crisis Chapter 55: Narrow Road of Enemies

  "Good heavens! What a beautiful girl!"

  After getting drunk, he surprisingly managed to say a complete sentence for once.

  But as soon as he finished speaking, a dull hum was heard, and then Yue Yun heard the sound of someone's body falling to the ground.

  Niu Tong saw the situation and immediately shouted: "What are you...". He had not yet finished shouting the word "person" when he also let out a muffled hum, and fell to the ground.

  Yue Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly sobered up. He knew something was wrong, but didn't dare to stand up immediately, so he rolled over on the ground and moved away to the side.

  A shrill cry from a woman came pressing over. Yue Yun opened his eyes and looked up, only to see a slender and delicate woman's figure rushing towards him. Her face was painted with greasepaint, wearing a theatrical costume, so her appearance couldn't be seen clearly. However, judging from her figure, she had an extremely good physique.

  He glanced at his two brothers and saw that Niu Tong and Guan Ling were lying at the door of the latrine, their lives hanging in the balance.

  Yue Yun saw that the woman was already at a distance, when he rolled over and his face was facing the ground, his hands pressed hard, and he jumped up with all his might, kicking one foot towards the woman.

  The woman let out a loud cry, and in her hand was actually a strange knife. The knife flashed, and the blade cut straight towards Yue Yun's foot, with great force and accurate angle, absolutely a master of the knife. Yue Yun was so frightened that he hastily withdrew his foot and retreated backwards, but at this moment, the wine fumes rushed up, and his head spun again in a daze.

  In a daze, Yue Yun could only instinctively retreat backward, attempting to avoid this blade.

  Just then, Yue Yun felt a sudden gust of wind behind her head.

  He had wanted to crouch down to dodge the sneak attacker behind him, but unfortunately, his drunken body no longer listened to commands. He only felt a heavy blow from a hard object on the back of his head, and under the intense pain, everything went black, and he instantly lost consciousness.

  At this time, the sneak attacker behind him appeared, and it was a thin man wearing a theatrical troupe servant costume. If Yue Yun was still awake at this time, he would definitely recognize that this was the man who was with the beautiful girl at the same table in the Drunken Immortal Building.

  "That thin man now pointed at the cow Tong and Guan Ling who were lying on the ground, and asked in a low voice: 'Fourth Master, how should these two kids be dealt with? Should they be killed with one knife?'"

  The woman thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "If we kill them, the Liu family will find out that three people are missing at once, and they will immediately become suspicious of the situation. Who knows, they might even launch a full-scale search of the city, causing trouble for us to leave the city. These two guys are just ordinary generals under the Big Avenger's House, let it go!"

  That thin man suddenly kicked the doorbell and Niu Tong, scolding: "Consider yourselves lucky, you two! Let them pick up their lives!"

  The woman then asked in a low voice: "Sun Da, where is Old Chen?"

  Sun Dali hastily said: "Old Chen has already put Miss Li into a box!"

  The woman smiled slightly, and if it weren't for the makeup covering her face, it would have been a very beautiful smile.

  "She nodded and said: 'Alright! Let's hurry up and put this little thief from the Yue family into the box too! At least we can get some interest back for our brother's revenge!'"

  About an hour later, the guard at the back door of the Liu mansion saw a dan (female) actor accompanied by two servants from the theater troupe carrying two large black trunks coming out.

  The guard looked at them with some surprise and asked: "You're wrapping up so early? Aren't you supposed to perform until tonight?"

  The painted face of the flower旦 sighed and said: "It's not that these two temporary servants moved the boxes wrong, they brought the props for another play, and the carefully prepared props for Liu Daren were not brought, but left at the inn. Our master Guo was afraid to pick up the wrong one again, so he had to have me accompany them on a trip!"

  Upon hearing this, the guard's expression changed and he nodded repeatedly: "This matter cannot be taken lightly. Today, there are many distinguished guests who have come. If the costumes and props for the play are mistaken, it will make Liu Gongzi lose face. You must go quickly and return quickly!"

  After the flower dan thanked and left, she walked out of the Liu mansion's back door with two servants carrying a large black trunk.

  The guard looked at the flower dan's back and couldn't help but lick his slightly dry lips, saying: "This time the invited theater troupe is really good, the flower dan's appearance is delicate, the voice is so good to listen to, the waist is twisted like that... it's almost like a real woman... unfortunately, I still have to watch the door and can't watch this play."

  When Yue Yun woke up, he saw his body floating and drifting, the sound of "呼、呼" wind entered his ears, bringing a coolness to his face with the smell of river water, but fortunately, his head didn't hurt so much anymore, allowing him to think normally.

  He opened his eyes to find a slender woman standing at the bow of the boat, her back to him. The golden sunlight of morning was shining down on her, and she had a curved bow with a pattern of green jade inlaid on her back, and a strange knife hung from her waist, gazing out at the distance ahead.

  Yue Yun only felt that his body was swaying left and right with the movement of the boat, it seemed that this small boat was moving rapidly in the river.

  He didn't expect to wake up and it was already the next morning, and he had actually passed a day and night. Yue Yun was secretly shocked in his heart. He tried to struggle a bit and found that his hands and feet were tightly bound by the other party with cow tendons. The binding method was very special, and when he used force to struggle, he found that it was even tighter.

  Yue Yun sat up and looked around, suddenly seeing that beside her was also Li Yu Rong who was tied up with ropes. However, she wasn't tied up with ox sinew, but rather ordinary hemp rope. It seemed the kidnapper knew she was a weak woman who couldn't even truss a chicken, so it wasn't worth using ox sinew to tie her up.

  Yue Yun looked at the hemp rope deeply embedded in Li Yu Rong's clothes and skin, while her head was also lowered against the back of the cabin wall, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, and couldn't help but feel some shock and anger.

  He glanced around and saw that the boat was not very large, only about seven or eight people could fit on it. The direction of the boat's movement was downstream, and the river was quite wide with rapid currents. Apart from the woman in black standing at the bow, there were also two sailors rowing on either side of the boat.

  "Are you awake?" At this time, the woman turned around. Her sharp eyes stared straight into Yue Yun's eyes.

  Yue Yun was shocked and lost his composure the moment he saw her. This woman turned out to be the beautiful young girl he had met at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. At that time, he had suddenly remembered something urgent and hastily left without even exchanging a word with her, which had left him feeling slightly disappointed. He had never expected that they would meet again just one day later, and under such strange circumstances at that.

  "I didn't expect it to be you! I saw you at Zui Xian Lou yesterday!" Yue Yun couldn't help but say.

  "Oh? You've noticed me too?" The woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, apparently somewhat surprised.

  "Of course, the girl's appearance is so stunning that any man who has seen her will have a deep impression!" Yue Yun said this sentence with sincerity.

  The woman's cold expression didn't change at all, and she said coldly: "You little thief from the Yue family, it's no use trying to please me now that you're about to die. Once we get back to our island, your dog head will naturally be chopped off as a sacrifice to my big brother!"

  Want to kill me? Yue Yun was shocked and lost his color, he himself had read a lot of history books, but somehow he had never heard of the story of Yue Yun being kidnapped by a woman to an island. Was it because he came and the course of history changed?

  "Is...this girl sent by the State of Jin or the Qin Hui father and son?" Yue Yun asked cautiously.

  In his view, only these two parties could be a match for him. After all, countless Jin soldiers and generals had died at his hands, and recently he had even added a prince to the list. Moreover, just yesterday he had infuriated the Jin envoy Xiao Yi to the point of fainting on the ground. The hatred was deep-seated indeed.

  As for Qin Hui, it's clearly written in history books that he wanted to harm the Yue family, and yesterday he even taught a lesson to Qin Hui's son, Qin Xi. According to Li Yu Rong, Qin Xi is a vengeful person, so it's highly likely that the Qin father and son will target him.

  However, the woman smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and said: "Do you think that your family has only offended the State of Jin and the treacherous minister Qin Hui?"

  "Who else is there?" Yue Yun was even more confused, thinking that it couldn't be that Zhao Gou had directly sent a top-notch insider to assassinate him, this history was getting too terrifying.

  At this time, the sturdy man standing by the side of the boat shouted: "Yue Jia Xiao Zei, don't pretend to be crazy there, our Great Sage Tian Wang was killed by your old man Yue Fei, when we arrive on the island, we will cut off your dog head first to worship our Tian Wang, and then slowly find that old thief Yue to settle accounts!"

  "Great Sacred Heavenly King?" Yue Yun heard it and was perplexed for a moment.
