The cell was dark, with only a few candles lit where the jailer rested. From far away, one could hear shouting and the sound of dice rolling.

Jiu Ning lowered her head and carefully checked each cell one by one. Suddenly, the shouting stopped and the dice fell to the ground, which immediately aroused her vigilance.

Even if the sound of dice rolling stopped, the sound of discussion and conversation should not disappear. While he was thinking, he heard very light footsteps running quickly in this direction.

The cells here were packed next to each other, leaving no place to hide. However, she had no time to think as the footsteps behind her were already coming towards her.

With a quick glance, he saw a group of men in black. Jiu Ning chose not to resist, but simply dodged the palm wind and then fell to the ground.

The man in black had no intention of killing the man. Seeing that he was lying down, he continued to run forward.

What was the origin of these people? Tong Zhiyang was such a snobbish person, there was no reason for him to offend someone who raised a killer.

Jiu Ning lay on the ground, pricked up his ears and continued to listen. Soon, he heard the sound of chains and shouting in the cell, followed by a muffled groan and silence.

The black man spoke in a very low voice and it was impossible to hear what they were saying. Soon the group came back and passed by her again, but they didn't pay any attention to the person they knocked unconscious.

As soon as a few people passed by, she looked up at the group of people. The one in the middle was naked, only wearing a black man's coat to cover his important parts.

Oh! Who is this? Isn't this our eldest son Li? So when Xiao Heng said he wanted to avenge her and lock him up for a few days, he meant throwing him naked into the county jail.

The guards around him took a whole day to find him. Looking at the bruises on his exposed calves, they knew that he must have had a miserable day.

She was happy because Li Jin was not doing well. She felt that the footsteps had quietly gone away. Without thinking, Jiu Ning used her lightness skills and followed.

Relying on her extraordinary hearing, she followed the enemy all the way to a prosperous place, and then took many turns before entering a brothel.

Jiu Ning raised his eyes, illuminated the plaque, then went straight to the backyard, jumped up, and lay on the roof of the backyard.

She accidentally found a very suitable location. Li Jin happened to be sent to this room. Jiu Ning quietly lifted a tile on the roof. The first sound she heard was Li Jin smashing things to vent his anger. Then none of the others were spared and were all slapped by Li Jin.

At this time, Li Jin was as furious as a lion, but he was a mute lion.

Seeing that the other party opened his mouth several times but couldn't make a sound, Jiu Ning realized it. She said, how could Tong Zhiyang be indifferent and not save people? Feelings can't be expressed at all!

I don't know how Xiao Heng did it, but seeing this situation, I know that the next step is to call a doctor, and I can't tell him anything confidential.

She wanted to leave, but just as she moved, she was noticed by a man in a pitch-black robe who walked into the yard.

"Who is sneaking out here?"

Thinking of the group of people in the room, she still lay there and dared not move.

At this time, the people in the house heard the noise and immediately became alert, and ran out to check. However, after the other party shouted, they could only hear the sound of the wind, and not even a trace of breathing.

"Chief, did you hear wrong?"

The man called the leader raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. He did feel something strange before, a faint sense of breathing, but when he calmed down and checked again, he could no longer feel it.

"Search all around carefully. Don't be careless."

At the leader's command, a group of people dispersed in all directions, and three of them went to the roof to investigate.

Jiu Ning was a little flustered. She had learned Lingbo Weibu well, and her knowledge of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was more advanced than that of ordinary people, but she had never practiced swordsmanship. It was obvious that she would be at a disadvantage if she had to deal with so many people at the same time.

Just when the situation was extremely anxious, heavy footsteps were heard outside the door, and a group of people in armor surrounded the place.

At the same time, she saw a man gently land on the house opposite. He was wearing a red cloak that fluttered in the wind. With a swish, he opened his folding fan and stood quietly on a high place, overlooking everyone.

The sound of the folding fan opening immediately attracted everyone's attention. They turned around and looked towards the highest point of the brothel.

"Duke Su? It's you. Since you're here today, don't even think about leaving."

Xiao Heng gently waved the fan, smiled evilly, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"You must be Chu Lan, right? I wonder why a Dai nationality like you would enter the territory of Dayan?"

Seeing that the other party had seen through his identity, Chu Lan narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Since Your Excellency already knows, there is nothing more to say."

Chu Lan attacked without saying a word, sword drawn. Xiao Heng moved gracefully, not afraid of the opponent at all. He also swooped down with an iron fan in his hand.

With a clang, the weapons collided. In the first round of the confrontation between the two, Chu Lan couldn't bear the force and retreated backwards, while Xiao Heng continued to rush forward as soon as he landed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the killer also raised his sword to attack, but was stopped halfway by Wen Ji and Lu Ji who arrived.

Xiao Heng raised his head towards the roof opposite. Jiu Ning was no longer hiding. He was no longer wearing the prison boss's clothes, but had changed back into a black suit. He was now sitting on the rooftop, watching the excitement with great interest. His expression was almost as good as holding a handful of melon seeds.

He didn't call anyone down. Instead, he felt more at ease staying up there, so he turned his attention back to Chu Lan.

"This small courtyard is completely surrounded by us. You can't escape today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Heng put away the folding fan in his hand, drew the sword from his waist, the sword body hummed, and a cold light went towards Chu Lan.

Chu Lan was equally unyielding, and the two fought back and forth. Wen Ji and Lu Ji were not idle either, and the men in black in the yard also attacked.

Wen Ji held two swords and danced with them vigorously. Lu Ji also fought alongside him, but there were too many men in black and they were almost injured several times. Xiao Heng, who had originally had the upper hand, also began to be at a disadvantage.

Just when Jiuning was about to take action, a large group of people rushed into the yard, each holding a bow and crossbow, shooting at the man in black.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The sound of arrows piercing bodies was accompanied by screams in the courtyard, and many people in black fell to the ground.

After a row of crossbows passed by, they immediately retreated, and the people in the back row quickly took up their positions, forming a second wave of attack. It was obvious that they were well-trained.

The situation reversed in an instant, and the battle ended quickly. Some of the men in black were killed, and some were injured. Before being captured, they quickly bit the poison sac in their mouths and died.

The only one who still had the ability to fight was Chu Lan, who was fighting with Xiao Heng.

Chu Lan looked around and saw that he had only a few men left, so he wanted to retreat. While looking for a way to retreat, his eyes naturally fell on Jiu Ning who was sitting on the roof.
