Chapter 44: The Righteous Boy vs. the Demonic Girl 22
Gu Xiaofei got off the horse and tied it to a tree.
"What would you like to drink, sir?"
As soon as I entered the door, a waiter in a linen shirt and a white towel on his shoulder came towards me. He looked no more than 17 years old.
"Give me a bowl of wonton noodles!" Gu Xiao put down his sword and sat down at a table by the window.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The waiter bent down and smiled at him, and was about to trot away.
"Wait! Little brother, let me ask you something."
Gu Xiao called him, "You have seen a beautiful girl passing by here, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an oval face, very white skin, and a pair of almond eyes."
The waiter searched his mind carefully and replied apologetically: "Sir, I have indeed seen many girls, but I have never seen the one you described."
"Thank you, little brother. You can go and do your work." It seems that she hasn't come yet, Gu Xiao thought.
"Have you heard? Lizhou City Governor Yin died suddenly last night."
The man at the next table spoke to another man at the same table in a surprised tone.
Gu Xiao paused in pouring the water, his expression changed slightly, and he continued to listen to the conversation between the two with his ears perked up.
"Yes, I also heard that it was because Miss Yin eloped with her lover that Governor Yin was so angry that he died." Another man added.
"Then Miss Yin was already married, why did she elope?"
"That's it. It is said that Miss Yin's lover was a servant. Governor Yin looked down on him, so he held a martial arts competition to find a husband. But Miss Yin didn't like the man at all. So, she eloped with her lover."
"I see. But it's pitiful for Governor Yin, as he was angered to death by the daughter he raised with so much effort." The man sighed.
"Brothers, you just said that Governor Yin was dead. Is this true or false?" Gu Xiao stepped forward and asked politely.
"Of course, how could this be false? Everyone in Lizhou City has spread the news that the funeral will be held today." The man said in a very firm tone.
Gu Xiao was about to continue asking when there was a commotion at the door.
He looked over and saw about four or five men in brown clothes swaggering in.
One of the burly men walked in front and seemed to be the leader of several people.
"Waiter!" Several people came in and did not sit down, but called out loudly.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The waiter came over with a smile on his face.
"I'm asking you, have you seen this person?"
The leader unfolded a portrait in his hand, which seemed to be a portrait of a woman.
"No, I haven't seen it." The waiter looked at it carefully and shook his head vigorously.
"Have you really never seen it or are you lying?" The man grabbed the waiter's collar with one hand and asked with a fierce look in his eyes.
"I have never seen this hero before. It is absolutely true." said the waiter tremblingly.
"Huh?" The man didn't believe it and continued to stare at him fiercely.
"Why should these warriors embarrass this little brother?"
Gu Xiao stood up and walked over, rescued the waiter from him, and motioned him to go down.
"I wonder if I can take a look at the portrait. I just came back from outside this morning and saw a girl. I wonder if she is the one you are looking for."
"Oh? Is this the girl you met?"
Hearing this, the leader showed him the portrait.
Sure enough, it’s Shi Qing!
"That's right. I wonder what you warriors want to do with this girl. I see you have fierce looks on your faces. Are you trying to take possession of this decent woman?"
Having said this, Gu Xiao pretended to be startled and looked at them warily.
"What did you say?" A man behind him glared at him. What did they mean by looking so fierce?
"Look, isn't that a fierce look on his face? Was I wrong?" Gu Xiao jumped back a step in fear and pointed at him.
"you……"
"Shut up!" the leader cursed him in a low voice.
He turned around and said seriously, "Brother, to be honest, this girl stole our master's things, so we have to catch her back."
"So that's how it is." Gu Xiao nodded seriously.
Then a smile appeared on his face, "But it seems that you are too inferior. You actually let such a weak girl steal things and run away."
Gu Xiao sighed, looked at them with an expression of disappointment, and finally shook his head.
After glaring at an impulsive younger brother behind him, the leader stared at Gu Xiao coldly, "Brother, can you tell me where this girl went?"
"Oh, this girl, I saw her walking towards the east, her face was very anxious. But it won't be long, you should chase her quickly, don't let her run away again. I hate people like this who have hands and feet but are sneaky!"
The more Gu Xiao spoke, the angrier he became, as if he would only feel better if he gave this man a lesson.
The leader did not suspect anything and turned around and rode away hurriedly with his men.
After they left, Gu Xiao's face darkened.
It seems that A Qing has escaped, and we have to find her before them.
"Thank you very much for your help just now." Seeing those people leave, the waiter ran out from the corner and looked at Gu Xiao with gratitude.
"It's a small matter." Gu Xiao took out some change and put it in the hands of the mistress.
He walked out quickly, untied the rope, and mounted the horse neatly.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shiny object diagonally.
Looking closely, I saw that it was a female hairpin inserted into the tree trunk.
He pushed his feet, leaped with the help of the horse, stretched out his hand, and only a shadow could be seen, and he was already sitting on the horse again.
Looking closely at the hairpin in my hand, it is simple, elegant and of excellent quality.
At this time, he appeared on the tree for no reason. Could it be A Qing's doing?
Gu Xiao's face was cold and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
He clenched the reins with his left hand and waved his right hand, and the horse galloped away, leaving only a bright yellow back view to the rest of the people.
At this moment, Shi Qing was leading the horse, walking and stopping from time to time.
Well, the natural scenery is still more beautiful. I'm almost suffocated if I stay in the Demon Sect or Yin Mansion all day long.
I've been walking for so long and haven't had anything to eat, so I'm a little hungry.
Suddenly, she vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
She turned around suddenly and saw four or five men riding horses towards her.
"Meow! How come it's so fast!" Shi Qing jumped on the horse and rode away nervously.
The leader was unsure at first, but when he saw the woman in front of him running away as soon as she saw them, he knew what was going on and chased after her.
Looking at Shi Qing who was not stopping at all in front of him, the leader narrowed his eyes slightly.
While controlling the horse, throw it hard from the cuff.
The dart spun and flew towards the horse in front.
Due to the shaking, the dart did not hit the horse successfully, but narrowly missed the horse's hoof.
However, it did succeed in scaring it.
The horse raised its front hooves and paused, circling restlessly.
"Hey, little cutie, why don't you run anymore?" Shi Qing looked at the stopped horse anxiously, then turned back to look at the men who had surrounded him.
"Miss Lin, please come back with us." The leading man said coldly.
"I won't go back." Shi Qing said with a stubborn face, crisp but firm.
"Then don't blame us brothers for taking action."
The leading man signaled the other four to gradually narrow the encirclement.
Seeing this, Shi Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pushed the horse hard to turn over.
While they were not paying attention, he kicked a man off his horse and landed steadily on the ground.
The other four also dismounted and attacked Shi Qing with swords in hand.
Relying on her petite body and agile movements, Shi Qing easily dodged the attacks of several people and prevented them from even touching her hair.
Seeing that he couldn’t subdue Shi Qing, the leader narrowed his eyes.
"Miss Lin!" he called her loudly. Shi Qing turned around to look at him reflexively, and a bag of powder flew towards her.
Shi Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately turned sideways and blocked it with his arms.
And just at this moment, the leader suddenly slapped her with his palm, and Shi Qing suddenly fell to the ground.
By the time Shi Qing reacted, the knife was already at his neck.
"Despicable!" she cursed angrily.
The same tactic was used against Gu Xiao last time.
"Tie her up."
The leader ignored her scolding and just gave cold orders to his men.
Just as a man took out a rope to tie her hands, there was a "whoosh" sound.
A branch flew from behind and stabbed the man's wrist.
"Ah!" the man screamed in pain.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change and turned back to check.
A bright yellow figure was riding towards them.
