Chapter 2063 All Caught
Chapter 2063 All Caught
The two sides fought hard.
Liu Jiulang stood aside, watching the two men fighting, but was thinking in his heart: These people don’t look like ordinary people, why are they suddenly coming for the Liu family?
Just when he was distracted, the man in black seized an opportunity and kicked Zhou Lie in the chest. Zhou Lie staggered back a few steps, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The man in black took the opportunity to rush towards Liu Jiulang, with the knife flashing directly at Liu Jiulang's face.
Liu Jiulang's expression froze, and he quickly dodged to the side, pulling out a soft sword from his drawer. The sword, flashing with cold light, collided with the black-clothed man's knife.
Sparks flew.
Yinding glanced at him and had an idea in his mind - this was the first time he saw Liu Jiulang make a move. Could he actually know martial arts?
Besides, that sword is really nice.
Yinding thought that he had to get the sword.
He fought while retreating to that side.
Liu Jiulang and the man in black exchanged more than ten moves, but he was still a little behind in skills.
The man in black swung his knife, knocked away his sword, and slashed with his backhand.
Liu Jiulang quickly retreated, but he was still a step too slow. The knife cut his arm and blood flowed out instantly.
When Yinding saw that he was injured, he was secretly happy. This was exactly the result he wanted. He was injured, but not too seriously. He just had to suffer a little.
Since the goal has been achieved, the silver ingots came this way. The man in black injured Liu Jiulang with a knife and did not stop. He chopped the mask on Liu Jiulang's face with the knife.
Yinding had an idea. This was a perfect opportunity. He also wanted to know what kind of face was under Liu Jiulang's mask.
Silver Ingot's movements slowed down again, and he secretly said in his heart: "Hurry up and chop it!"
There was a loud "clang" and the knife hit the mask.
Yinding widened his eyes, wanting only to see Liu Jiulang's face.
But to his disappointment, the knife did not damage Liu Jiulang's mask at all!
Yin Ding was surprised - what is the mask made of? It can withstand such a chop?
But he could not delay any longer. He injured his opponent with a few strokes, rushed to Liu Jiulang with a knife, and fought with the man in black.
The man in black was no match for the silver ingot and was at a disadvantage after just a few rounds.
Yinding thought for a moment, since he was not sent by the prince, and he was wearing a black cloth, he must be someone he knew. So, if he couldn't expose Liu Jiulang, he might as well expose this guy's black cloth.
Thinking of this, the tip of the silver ingot knife flicked and cut the black cloth directly, scratching the skin a little, and blood oozed out.
The man in black covered his wound, his face pale, and he was shocked and angry.
The face of the man in black was exposed in front of Liu Jiulang.
Liu Jiulang saw it clearly, and was shocked and angry: "It's you!"
The man in black was none other than Scarface.
When Zhou Lie saw Liu Jiulang injured, he shouted anxiously, "Master Jiu!"
He endured the pain in his chest and rushed over.
Zhou Lie whispered, "Master Jiu, this man is from the Water Village."
Liu Jiulang's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure?"
Zhou Lie nodded: "Sure, there's no mistake."
Liu Jiulang's mind was racing. The guards around Liu Balang said that they were ambushed by people from the water fort, and then people from the water fort appeared here again. What exactly happened?
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, getting closer and closer. Liu Jiulang looked up and saw a group of people coming towards him, led by Su Zhenhai.
His heart sank as more and more people were involved.
Su Zhenhai rode his horse closer, pulled the reins, and looked at the melee with a sneer on his face: "What are you doing?"
Liu Jiulang forced a smile and said, "Envoy Su, these people set fire to my grain store and stole my food."
But deep down, he didn't want Su Zhenhai to catch Scarface and the others.
This matter involves many people, and who knows what these people will reveal.
Su Zhenhai is not an easy person to deal with.
But the truth was right in front of him, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. If he lied, it would only arouse Su Zhenhai's suspicion.
The city guards' scabbards clanged neatly against the cobblestones. Su Zhenhai stood at the door of the grain store, the hem of his dark blue official uniform swaying slightly in the wind. His voice was like ice: "City guards, listen up! Arrest all these men in black. Don't let any one go."
When Liu Jiulang heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Sucheng Envoy, no!"
Su Chenghai frowned: "Why not?"
Liu Jiulang glanced at the man in black, then quickly turned back: "Look, the sacrifice ceremony is in the next day. This is a major event in Rongzhou. We should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, not kill. In my opinion, let's forget about it."
Su Zhenhai didn't respond immediately. He stared at Liu Jiulang for a moment with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
"I don't understand what you're saying. The grain store was burned, the grain was looted, and there were injured people everywhere. You saw with your own eyes these people stealing the grain and injuring people, and now you're saying let it go?"
Liu Jiulang's throat rolled slightly, and he forced a smile: "Sir, I know this group of people is hateful, but the Autumn Festival is related to the fate of Rongzhou. If someone dies at this time, it will not look good if the news gets out."
As he spoke, he observed Su Zhenhai's expression. Seeing that Su Zhenhai was still silent, he felt relieved and thought to himself that Su Zhenhai always took the overall situation into consideration and would not delay the sacrifice for such a small matter.
After all, it’s better to do less than to do more.
Unexpectedly, Su Zhenhai suddenly raised his eyes, his tone a little heavier than before: "Even if you don't care, I can't help but care."
He took a step forward, and the guards' breaths tensed. "This matter concerns the peace of Rongzhou. These people set fire to shops, looted food, and even dared to kill people in the streets—you can tolerate it, but the people of Rongzhou can't, and I, the city guard, can't tolerate it even more."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and shouted again: "What are you still standing there for? Arrest them all and bring them back to the garrison for interrogation!"
The city guards responded in unison and rushed forward. A few men in black wanted to struggle, but the city guards were too numerous and their resistance was like a fight of trapped beasts. Soon, they were pinned to the ground and tied up tightly.
Yinding was looking for an opportunity in the crowd. He wanted to tell Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe about this.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of two familiar figures behind Su Zhenhaima.
Yan Ruyu was in the team of personal guards behind Su Zhenhai, with a hint of a smile on her lips; Huo Changhe stood beside her with a sharp look in his eyes.
Yinding was delighted. Taking advantage of the moment when the city guards were escorting the men in black out and the crowd was in commotion, he crouched down and squeezed through. When he reached the two of them, he gasped, "Prince, Princess."
Yin Ding spoke quickly: "Liu Jiulang is good at martial arts and has a soft sword on his waist. This is the first time I've seen him use it."
Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Liu Jiulang is really good at hiding things."
"His mask was also slashed a little while ago, but it's intact. It's obvious that he's taking precautions."
Yan Ruyu was also a little surprised: "Is this really true? His mask is so tough?"
Yin Ding nodded: "Exactly, I saw it with my own eyes."
Yan Ruyu mused, "Don't worry about it for now."
She glanced at the men in black and said, "This scarface has arrived at the perfect time. The fun has just begun."
