Chapter 118: Ten Directions Gate (Part )
"who?"

Feng Yan shouted coldly.

"Jincheng Shifangmen." An arrogant voice floated over from the darkness.

The burnt and broken red lanterns were swaying under the eaves, and the remaining light could only illuminate an area of ​​three meters.

A group of tall men wearing green brocade robes with dark patterns, black gauze hats on their heads and a "Shifang" sign hanging around their waists. When they came into the visible range, Feng Yan recognized that this was the law enforcement team established by King Yu - the Shifang Sect.

Feng Yan recognized the other party's identity and waved his hand to dismiss his men. He was alert in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "So you are from the Shifang Sect. I am Feng Yan, the guard of the Heqili family. I am specially invited to come to the Jinyin Building with wine and meat. This is the invitation letter."

The leader of the Shifang Sect was very pleased to see that the other party was so sensible. He reached out and took the invitation letter thrown to him: "I am Li Ming, the deputy leader of the Qian Sect of the Shifang Sect. I have been ordered by the Sect Master to come to the wine pool and meat forest to find out the cause of the fire and the disturbance."

After taking a look to confirm, he looked at the person in Feng Yan's arms again: "Who is this person?"

The deputy sect leader Li Ming, a man Feng Yan had heard of, was nicknamed the Thin-Eyed Dog. He had a pair of thin and long eyes, and his smile was as sharp as a knife. As for why he was called a dog, it was because once you were stared at by him, it was like being bitten by a dog, and you couldn't get rid of him.

"This is my little sister. She was frightened in the woods just now and fainted." Feng Yan replied without changing his expression.

Li Ming and his brothers did not embarrass him: "Since he is from the Li family, he must not be the one who caused the riot this time. I have delayed you for a while. Please seal the courtyard and ask him to protect you."

"Thank you very much, Deputy Sect Master Li."

However, just as they passed each other, Li Ming suddenly smelled a faint scent of tea coming from Feng Yan. He stopped and turned his head to look at Feng Yan's back.

This is not just the scent of tea, but a mixture of mint, rose and orange blossom. It is also one of the credentials that Jiuchilinrou specially uses to identify slaves.

"Wait a minute."

Feng Yan paused for a moment, and was suddenly stopped. It must be that the other party discovered something. He had guessed a possibility... But this was Jincheng, the sphere of influence of the Shifang Sect. If a fight broke out here, they would probably suffer a great loss.

He could only stiffen his body and turn around: "Is there anything else?"

Li Ming held the knife and said with a smile: "The rain seems to be getting heavier. If I carry my little sister away like this, I'm afraid she will catch a cold when she wakes up. Why don't we stay here for a while and wait until the rain stops and the sky clears before leaving?"

Is he going to keep her here? It seems like he is really suspicious of the girl in his arms... Niao Niao.

In fact, when Feng Yan unexpectedly met Niao Niao just now, he guessed a lot of situations. She looked so embarrassed and frightened now, it was obviously impossible for her to come as a guest, she could only be... a runaway slave.

The second young master of the Li family was actually sold as a slave on the black market, but he could not make it public. Firstly, it was for the sake of Niao Niao's reputation, and secondly, he could only avenge her after returning to Heqi.

Feng Yan said impatiently, "No need. The original plan was to set off for Heqi at dawn, but I think this feast of wine and women is destined to be uneasy tonight, so we won't stay here and delay your work."

As he took a step, a knife with a dark brown copper sheath blocked him.

Li Ming was still smiling, but the expressions of the Shifangmen's lackeys behind him changed, and a sense of tension and readiness to strike arose spontaneously.

"In fact, such a big incident happened tonight. Our leader came here in person. He went to deal with the explosion in the gold and silver building first, and left me here to investigate the suspicious people coming in and out. If we can't find anything, our livelihood will be cut off."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that you suspect that this was done by me or the Li family?" Feng Yan said sternly.

"You can't say that. I'm not doubting you, but the girl in your arms is really suspicious. How could she be so messy?" Li Ming's eyes fell on Niao Niao with meticulous and cold eyes. Feng Yan's eyes gradually became unfriendly: "She got lost in the chaos just now, and she was like this when she was found. I haven't held you accountable yet, but you have the nerve to question me."

Now that things have come to this, and the people who should be offended have been offended, Li Ming simply tore off that layer of hypocrisy.

"In that case, let's hold them accountable together."

Li Ming moved as fast as lightning, grabbing Niao Niao's wrist. The sleeves slid down to her elbows, revealing a thin round iron ring around her wrist. A rich fragrance immediately emanated.

Li Ming took a deep breath and an unusual and strange smile appeared on his face.

"what are you doing?!"

Feng Yan pushed him away angrily, his face full of vigilance and anger.

"Why don't you explain why your little sister has the slave iron ring sold in the gold and silver shop?"

Feng Yan was furious when he heard this, he naturally didn't know, but after hearing these words, he finally let out all the anger and disgust in his heart.

"This ghost place of wine and meat has brought disaster to so many good families, and you not only shielded them, but also helped them to do evil. Even the transactions in the ghost market are all illegal!"

After hearing his words, Li Ming and all the people from Shifang Sect were happy. Instead of feeling ashamed, they felt proud.

He said with a smile, "So what? When you come here, you have to follow the rules of the industry. Guard the courtyard, don't think that the people of your Li family are so great, but you have to know who protects us. You can't take this woman away today, and you have to stay here too."

Feng Yan already knew that today he would have to fight a fierce battle. He handed Niao Niao to his men and said, "Even if we all die, we must rescue her."

The subordinate nodded heavily: "Yes."

He pulled out the light steel scimitar, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and he was ready to die.

He would never let them catch Niaoniao back again.

Li Ming rubbed his palms together and joked with others: "Since Guardian Feng wants to spar with us, we might as well obey his orders. Hahahaha..."

As he spoke, Li Ming also drew out his knife. His knife was a specially made knife with a wide body and a thin blade. It was heavy and bulky. The two men stood facing each other. In order to cover Niao Niao's escape, Feng Yan went ahead with the sword and stabbed straight into the opponent's throat.

Seeing that his sword style was sharp, Li Ming did not rush to counterattack, but instead used his sword to block. After using a few moves, he found out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. He was light and agile, like a flying swallow.

Li Ming couldn't catch his flaws, but he could create flaws for him.

With a "clang" sound, the swords collided. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ming suddenly took a step back, and then made three consecutive horizontal chops from one end. Each of his strikes was powerful and sent out sparks.

After Feng Yan received three moves, his wrist began to feel numb. He immediately had an understanding of Li Ming's martial arts. He knew that he could not take the opponent's swordsmanship head-on, so he could only look for opportunities to break through his resistance and go straight to his vital points.

The sounds of swords clashing were endless. Feng Yan made a feint and stabbed Li Ming's right wrist with his sword, trying to cut his tendons. Unexpectedly, Li Ming deliberately left this big loophole, waiting for him to fall into his own "trap".

"careful!"

A scream came from behind.
