Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Shuangxi County was plunged into a tense manhunt. At the city gates, both pedestrians and carriages were required to present passes and undergo rigorous inspection before passing. However, even with such rigorous searches, no trace of Ruan Niang and her accomplices could be found.

Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan still had to go back to collect food and didn't have much time to delay here, so they left the people brought by Shadow to continue to help find Ruan Niang. At the same time, they instructed Song Huai to contact the grain merchants here to transfer grain and buy some grain first so that they could go north together.

After everything was arranged here, Song Jinbai and his wife took Song Huai, Song Bai and Xue Bi back to Kaiyun Mansion first.

However, no sooner had they left Shuangxi County than Shadow, eager to catch up with his master and capture Ruan Niang as quickly as possible, led his men to turn Yanliu Pavilion upside down. This scramble led them to discover something they had previously overlooked: a secret room hidden beneath the water tank in the kitchen in the backyard of Yanliu Pavilion. Ruan Niang and several of her men had been hiding there for the past two days, recuperating from their injuries.

Shadow immediately ordered his men to tie them up, but at that moment, the jianghu people who came to rescue Ruan Niang and the others showed up. Fortunately, Song Jinbai left all the dozen people brought by Shadow here, otherwise they would probably have died at the hands of these jianghu people.

At the same time, on the other side, Song Jinbai and his four companions, who had just stepped onto the official road, were surrounded by a dozen men in black.

Song Jinbai completely forgot about the ferocity with which Ji Nuan had chopped the snake. He held down Ji Nuan, who was about to rush out, and said, "Nuan'er, stay seated. I'll go down and check on the situation."

Ji Nuan blocked his hand, completely ignoring the dozen or so experts on the other side. She said nonchalantly, "There are quite a few of you here. I might as well go down and stretch my muscles. It's been a while since I had a good fight."

Ever since Xiaoyao Jian left, Ji Nuan hadn't had a satisfying fight with anyone for a long time.

Quite looking forward to it!

She had just lifted the curtain and was about to jump out of the carriage when she saw two arrows flying towards her.

Song Bai and Xue Bi had been defending the carriage on both sides when they spotted the men in black, and now it was too late to stop them. They watched helplessly as the arrows got closer and closer to Ji Nuan, their hearts in their throats.

Ji Nuan could have easily dodged it, but if she did, Song Jinbai behind her would be in danger.

At the critical moment, she waved her hand without hesitation. Two silver lights flashed, and the two arrows were instantly collected into the space and disappeared without a trace.

And in the next moment, she swung her backhand, and two bamboo leaves shot back along the trajectory of the arrow, at such a speed that it was like lightning streaking through the night sky.

The black-clad archer hiding in the tree obviously had not expected Ji Nuan to have such a method, and was caught off guard for a moment.

"Swish, swish!" The two bamboo leaves accurately pierced the vital points of the two men in black. They fell down without even having time to scream.

The other men in black were shocked when they saw this scene. They had originally thought that they had the advantage in numbers and were sure of victory, but they did not expect the situation to reverse, and their hearts could not help but waver.

Ji Nuan's figure flashed like a swallow skimming the water, she jumped out of the carriage and landed steadily in front of the horse, forming a sharp contrast with the man in black.

Her hands flew, and her fingertips made a stretching gesture. In an instant, a Tang sword with a cold and shining light seemed to slowly emerge from the void, which was terrifying.

"The first sword?"

"Is this the first sword?"

"Impossible! How could the First Sword appear here?"

"No, she clearly used a knife!"

Such a fantastic scene not only terrified the man in black, but also made Song Bai and Xue Bi behind him open their mouths wide, their eyes full of disbelief.

Song Bai: ...Madam, have you become so powerful?

Sprite's eyes lit up: "I adore you! Madam, please accept my knees!"

"I don't know!"

I am the best swordsman in the world!

Ji Nuan didn't give them any chance. With a flash of knife, he rushed into the men in black like a ghost.

Her swordsmanship may seem disorganized, but it is actually as fast as lightning. She learned it from killing zombies in the apocalypse. Her main skill is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Under Ji Nuan's fierce attack, the man in black soon fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Song Bai and Xuebi also drew their swords and joined the battle.

Song Jinbai, who came out a step late, was completely useless. So, he held a bow and arrow, looked around vigilantly, ready to deal with the three enemies who might launch a sneak attack at any time.
