Phantom Spear - C181

Previously, he mentioned it: Jiang Feng followed Lu Jianfei to the most famous jade store in the capital, but he did not see any trace of Faang Xinyao. Jiang Feng decided to go to the next cloth shop to look for Faang Xinyao, but Lu Jianfei seemed to have found some clues, so he interrogated the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw that they were not here to buy jade, and had not expected Faang Xinyao to keep a secret, adding to the fact that Lu Jianfei’s attitude was not good, he did not want to speak of what he knew, and wanted to do things half-heartedly. However, Lu Jianfei used his constable abilities, and scared the shopkeeper to the point where he quickly spoke of the truth. Jiang Feng advised Lu Jianfei to not worry about other things for now, and to immediately meet Faang Xinyao near the city gates to prevent him from getting into trouble.

Officer Jin instructed the four of them, “You four, go and stop that girl. Bring her here and wait.” The four city guards obeyed and hurried over. However, Faang Xinyao’s heart was filled with frustration, and her mood was not very good either. She walked with his head lowered, not even looking forward. The leader of the soldiers walked to Faang Xinyao’s side. She did not even notice as the soldier said: “Young lady, you can’t leave the city right now. Faang Xinyao did not think that the soldier was talking to him and did not reply as he continued forward. At this time, the other three soldiers stood in a row, blocking in front of Faang Xinyao. Faang Xinyao saw their uniforms, and raised her head to look, her heart was shocked, she did not know why the guards would block her path. Just as Faang Xinyao was startled, the leader of the soldiers walked over and repeated the words he had said. Faang Xinyao had doubts in her heart, and thought for a while before asking: Why should I stay, why not let me leave the city? But why didn’t I take me when I went into the city? Or perhaps it was a good friend of father’s, a bureaucrat from the imperial court who wanted to come and help and protect me in order to meet me? But why didn’t I hear from my family that before father was captured by them and brought to the capital, he didn’t tell me anything that could help him. Thinking about it, she started to think that the people blocking in front of her were most likely the bad guys that Liu Shichen had sent.

Today, Faang Xinyao was only out to relax, to drive away the depression in his heart, she did not bring her treasure sword, it was terrible, if there was a situation, she would be captured. Faang Xinyao asked: “May I ask sir, why is it that no one is allowed to leave the city, and there is no such thing as’ entry and exit ‘written on the city gates?” The leader of the soldiers shook his head and said, “Miss, I think you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that the civilians are forbidden from entering or leaving, but that you’re required to stay behind.” Faang Xinyao couldn’t help but shake her lower lip, and ask again: “Why can’t I let others leave? Have I violated some sort of laws? ” The leader patiently replied, “No, you just have to stay.” Faang Xinyao frowned, and said unhappily: “Why is that so? “This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, are you trying to make things difficult for a weak girl like me?” The leader was rather helpless as he said, “Lady, don’t blame us. We are just following orders. If we don’t stop you, the four of us will lose our heads.” The unease in Faang Xinyao’s heart grew even stronger. “Okay, if you want me to stay, that’s fine. At this time, Officer Jin walked over and said: “Miss, we were also ordered by the Master Lu to come over. We would like to invite Miss to rest for a while. How could Faang Xinyao believe his words, but hearing the name “Master Lu”, she thought in her heart: Master Lu? Last time Young Master Liu caught me, the Prefect who was imprisoning me didn’t seem to be surnamed Lu, but was it a new official? Looks like this Master Lu official’s position is not small, to be able to order the city guards to stop me, this person must be an enemy, I have to think of a way to escape.

Seeing that Faang Xinyao did not say a word for a long time, Officer Jin could only say one more time:” Little miss, you should come sit with us for a while. Faang Xinyao thought: If your Master Lu arrives, I still have a chance to live. Without replying, she turned and ran. Officer Jin reacted and immediately shouted, “Girl, don’t run, we have no ill intentions. “The four of you, hurry up and chase that girl back. Otherwise, you can raise your head and see me.” The four city guards obeyed his command and immediately gave chase.

Faang Xinyao used all of her strength to run and push aside the bystanders. The peddlers on the street found it laughable to see such an elegant girl running for her life. The common folk saw that there were four soldiers chasing from behind, so they assumed that Faang Xinyao was some kind of dangerous thief and made way for him. Faang Xinyao ran with a flushed face, thinking: I still haven’t saved father, I can’t lose my life here, I must live. Just as she was panicking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Faang Xinyao had no time to stop, and just as she was about to run into him, the person only used his right hand to touch Faang Xinyao’s left shoulder, causing her to stop, and the person just stood there without moving at all.

Seeing his move, Faang Xinyao knew that he was an expert. The man said: “Lady Faang, where are you going?” Faang Xinyao gasped for breath, upon hearing that the other party recognized him and was now blocking in front of him, his heart immediately palpitated. She turned her head, only to find that the four soldiers had caught up to him. At the moment, there was a wolf in front of him, and a tiger behind him. She was now a peerless person. Faang Xinyao softly sighed, and said: “Is it really heaven’s will?” At this time, she heard a voice that ignited her hope once again: “Lady Faang, don’t be afraid. It’s me, Jiang Feng.” Faang Xinyao saw Jiang Feng walking out from the alleyway and standing beside Lu Jianfei. Faang Xinyao covered her mouth with a surprised look on her face. Jiang Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Lady Faang, don’t be afraid. Master Lu, he has no ill intentions. ” Faang Xinyao’s eyes widened, and her tone trembled a little: “What? He, he is Master Lu? ” Seeing that her expression was still so panicked, Jiang Feng was also puzzled in his heart. Lu Jianfei called out to the four of them to stand at the side and wait. He calmly asked, “Lady Faang, why are you so shocked to see me? Why are you still running? Faang Xinyao did not reply, she only clenched her fists. Seeing her actions, Lu Jianfei knew that he had guessed right.

Jiang Feng said softly: “Lady Faang, this is not a good place to talk. Let’s go somewhere else.” Faang Xinyao looked at him and asked: “Big Brother Chiang, did he really not come to capture me?” Jiang Feng used a resolute expression and said resolutely: “Lady Faang, don’t worry, Master Lu didn’t have any ill intentions coming here, furthermore, I, Jiang Feng am here, so even if he has any ill intentions, I will protect you even if I am to put my life on the line.” Faang Xinyao was still very nervous. Lu Jianfei passed through the two of them and walked over, then instructed everyone: “Alright, you four have worked hard today. Take the silver and go drink some tea, when you go back, tell Fatty Jin that I have found this lady, you guys do not need to care about this anymore.” Lu Jianfei took out a small bag of silver and gave it to the soldier in the lead. The four of them respectfully bid farewell to Lu Jianfei and left happily.

Lu Jianfei looked at Faang Xinyao and said: Lady Faang, you do not need to be nervous, I have no ill intentions, I want to go to the room of the inn to talk about your father’s matter, what do you think? Faang Xinyao heard about his father and knew that he must know some inside information about him. Even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, she would have to fly herself. Lu Jianfei knew that her heart was still filled with distrust, so he continued: “Haha, even if you don’t trust me, you should trust your good friend Jiang Feng. Even if I had evil intentions, with the top ranked martial arts in his World Wulin Conference, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to protect you from leaving. Faang Xinyao looked at Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng nodded his head, if he rejected, he was afraid that he would lose a lot of valuable information, and said resolutely: “Alright, I will go with you.” Lu Jianfei couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart: As expected of a resolute woman, she’s much better than that type of brow.

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
