twin moon

Chapter 36: Act Three
The three children ran out of the woods all the way, and ran a long way along the Ma Xing Street paved with bluestone slabs.They didn't dare to stop their steps, let alone look back.I just felt that there was always a heavy panting sound echoing behind me, and I was afraid that I would be caught by the other party when I turned around.

At midnight, the moonlight was still dim, and there were few people along the way.Until the lights on both sides of the road gradually increased, the three finally came to their senses and realized that they had unknowingly rushed to the side of the canal and returned to the bustling Nanshi City.

Right now, the boat lanterns in the river have become sparse, and a few of them are blocked by the aquatic plants on the bank, and are slowly soaked by the water.On the crooked paper boat, the candles were almost extinguished.Luo Jianli, who was following closely behind the children, didn't seem to dare to cause trouble easily in the busy city, and had long since disappeared.Only the cool night wind was blowing on their sweat-soaked backs, as if waking up from a nightmare.

"Jiang Yan, did we get rid of that guy? Who is he, why do you seem to know him?" Qi Ziyin asked out of breath, his face pale as he ran straight away.

"This person's name is Luo Jianli, the one who troubled us at Zhihedu!" The black-eyed boy replied.

"So it's him!" Qi Ziyin nodded thoughtfully, "He really is a vicious person."

"Ziyin, you go to meet your father tomorrow, and report what happened tonight truthfully, and get this man's military status removed!"

Before Jiang Yan could speak again, Ning Yue came up with an idea from the sidelines.The black-eyed boy immediately shook his head:
"No. The lord of the country will not obey no matter what if he asks for the removal of a captain without evidence. Besides, letting people know that Ziyin sneaked out of the palace tonight will definitely implicate him and be punished!"

"But that person just now clearly looked like he was going to kill someone with a knife. Could it be just like that?!" Ning Yue said indignantly.

"If it's really a fox, it will definitely show its tail. No matter what Luo Jianli and that mysterious man said in the mass grave just now, and no matter what they plan to do next, they will definitely be disrupted by our appearance Tomorrow, why not discuss it with General Baili before making a decision."

The black-eyed boy frowned and thought.Qi Ziyin on the side also nodded repeatedly in agreement.However, waves of Fang Ping rose again and again, just when they thought they had escaped, they heard a gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the narrow alley:

"Jiang Yan? Why did you, a little bastard, appear here?"

The black-eyed boy didn't expect that someone would recognize him on the street. He turned around in a hurry, but his face immediately changed, and he stretched out his arms as if facing an enemy, and protected the two companions behind him: "We Just passing by by chance."

"Passing by by chance? I don't think so, right?"

The person who spoke sneered and left the shadow of the street, stepped into the light of the lantern, his eyes scanned Jiang Yan and the others back and forth like poisonous snakes.I saw a broad-backed saber on his back, followed by two other young men who were drunk, they were actually Yu Li and his two followers in the Benhai camp, Deng Guiyi and Yuchi Jingde.

"Tsk, why do I meet you with toad eyes everywhere I go? Are we passing by, can you care?!"

Ning Yue also recognized the other party immediately, and frowned in disgust.Toad Eyes was the nickname she had given to Yu Li with swollen eyes in private, but at this moment she felt angry and shouted out in person.

Yu Li immediately widened his eyes after hearing this, stepped forward and shouted: "Damn, who are you scolding, little girl?!"

Only then did Jiang Yan realize that he and his companions had unknowingly walked into Tianshui Lane, the largest fireworks and willow lane in Mulu City.

Even after the Ghost Festival, there are still many shops here that have not yet closed.The lights sprinkled on the side of the road through the pink paper, and occasionally a few blurred figures were reflected on it, and women's lewd laughter and dance music were heard from the window from time to time.And Yu Li and others are obviously frequent visitors here.

He didn't want to be troublesome, so he hurriedly gave Qi Ziyin a wink.The boy in white also understood, reached out and pulled Ning Yue up to back away.

"Don't rush away yet!"

A fierce light flashed in Yu Li's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, Deng Guiyi and Yuchi Jingde made a flash, and immediately surrounded the three of them, using the narrow alley to block their escape route.

"If you want to make trouble, I will stay with you and let the two of them go!"

"You're quite righteous. But this dead red-haired girl just said something rude to Captain Ben, and didn't even apologize, isn't it a bit unreasonable?"

Yu Li snorted, still with his disgusting smile, looked at Jiang Yan and said, "I'm very curious, why did the dignified Mo Lingwei not be on duty in the palace during the Ghost Festival? Sweating profusely, running here with hair in a bun? The three of you—are you hiding from someone?"

"It's none of your business. If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of the way!"

"Why is it none of my business? Although you are now appreciated by General Baili and have become the Imperial Guard in the city, don't think that the old accounts between you and me can be written off. What's more, if you, a little bastard, don't appear , I should be the one who enters Mo Lingwei now!" Yu Li pointed at the black-eyed boy's nose and cursed, full of resentment in his heart.

"Then what do you want?"

"It's not difficult, absolutely not difficult. As long as you are willing to kneel and crawl under Captain Ben's crotch, and then imitate a few dog barks in front of everyone, to make me happy, I will naturally let you go."

"Good idea! I think you are narrow-minded, toad-eyed, and you hold a grudge after being compared to Xiaobai! This street does not belong to your house, do you think you can bully people at will just because of the number of people!" Ning Yue no longer Unable to bear it anymore, he opened his mouth and cursed.

"Little beauty, Brother Yuchi and I were beaten so badly by Jiang Yan in the stable that day. If he refuses to behave like a dog today, we will tie you up and spend the night with my master as compensation! You have If you have the guts to be his general Yan's friend, don't you have the guts to be punished for him?" Ye Guiyi also came up from the side with a lewd smile, and stretched out his hand to hug the girl's waist.

"What are you trying to do? You don't see the law anymore!" Seeing this, Qi Ziyin shouted sharply as Deng Guiyi, who was about to bully the girl, pushed away.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this kid in white to be quite strong."

Deng Guiyi didn't recognize the young man in white clothes in front of him as the young master of Ye Kingdom, he thought he was a wild boy with no background like Jiang Yan, he ignored his warnings and continued to bully him like a rascal.During some disputes, he actually resorted to fighting and capturing Qi Ziyin, who was not good at fighting at all, and slammed Qi Ziyin to the ground with his arms.

"I'm defeated! If you have the ability, the three of you will attack me together. Don't bully girls and people who don't know martial arts!"

Jiang Yan knew that he could only draw with the young captain in front of him, although he said harsh words, he turned around and bumped into Yuchi Jingde's body with his back, knocking him to the ground on the spot, and immediately He shouted at his companion, "Run, both of you!"

Ning Yue was also unambiguous, and seized the opportunity to kick the unsuspecting Deng Guiyi in the crotch.At this time, none of the three people in Ben Haiying were wearing armor or helmets. They only heard the other party's wailing, and immediately let go of Qi Ziyin's hand, covered their lower body and fell to the ground cursing:

"Bitch, do you want me to become a eunuch!"

"Yes! You bastard, dare to try to be frivolous with this girl again!"

But Ning Yue showed no mercy, raised her foot and kicked the opponent a few times, then helped Qi Ziyin staggered and fled out of the alley.

"Trash! Thinking about women all day long, don't you fear that one day you will be exhausted and die! Leave Yan to me to deal with, you two quickly go after the other two, don't let them go!"

Yu Li also didn't expect that the black-eyed boy would give it a go. Seeing the two figures, one red and one white, ran away, he became angry on the spot, and grabbed Jiangyan's shoulder with his five fingers like tiger claws.

The black-eyed boy was locked by the opponent's right arm, so he had to pour all his strength into his legs, so as not to be pulled out of balance.Immediately, he flipped his palm over and clasped the opponent's thumb with his backhand, forcing Yu Li to let go of his hand, and then swept his legs across the ground, forcing the opponent to take half a step back.

Jiang Yan was not fond of fighting, and immediately seized the opportunity to flee.Unexpectedly, Deng Guiyi, who was kicked to the ground by Ning Yue, regained his strength, and suddenly attacked.He didn't know when he picked up a waste wooden oar covered with green moss from the side of the road, and swung it at the leg of the boy who was coming straight away without saying a word.

There was no way for Jiang Yan to sprint, so he had no choice but to jump up high.However, the wooden oar was flexible, Deng Guiyi only fiddled with it a little, and it still hit his knee directly with a muffled "dong".Jiang Yan felt a sharp pain in his leg immediately, and he couldn't stand upright after landing, he fell straight on the ground like a log, and rolled several times before stopping.

"When I catch that little red-haired girl back, I will make her pay some price!"

Deng Guiyi stood up holding his genitals, groaning and groaning, waved the wooden oar again, and patted Jiangyan's Tianling cover.The black-eyed boy had no choice but to raise his hands to block.Yu Li at the side also shouted viciously:
"Hit me to death! Tell this little wild species to have a long memory, and see if he dares to fight against us in the future!"

In the confusion, Jiang Yan was hit hard on the back of the head, and a strong dizziness hit him immediately, but he suddenly saw Yuchi Jingde chasing far away following the footsteps of Ning Yue and Qi Ziyin.He realized that if he continued to fight, not only would he not be able to save his companion, but he would be completely at a disadvantage, but now he wanted to get out as soon as possible, but he couldn't, which made his heart anxious like frying fire.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a puff in his arms, and something soft was crushed by him—only after he stretched out his hand, he remembered that it was a cooked meat that he had carried in his arms and hadn't had time to eat yet. See through persimmons.In desperation, Jiang Yan reached out and took out the rotten persimmon, and threw it viciously at Deng Guiyi's face.

"Oh my god, what is this? It's sticky and soft like shit!"

The soft persimmon flesh blurred into a piece on Deng Guiyi's face impartially, and temporarily blocked his sight.Seeing that he had hit the target, Jiang Yan immediately snatched the wooden oar with his hands, resisted the opponent who had become blind, and pushed towards the young captain fiercely.

After hearing two bangs, Yu Li and Deng Guiyi bumped into each other, they couldn't stand still on the stone street beside the canal, they both fell into the water.The black-eyed boy who temporarily repelled the opponent did not dare to stay for a moment, and immediately limped and ran wildly behind his companion.

　Thank you for your attention to "Twin Moons", and hope that the wheat grown by the little raccoon can meet your appetite.
