Chapter 546 The Knight
Xiao Lingjiang sighed and said, "There are many strange things about this devil city... I just don't know where it is in the desert?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shang waved his hands repeatedly and warned the two of them: "The Devil's City is not a place worthy of curiosity. I don't know how many people were trapped in it and lost their traces. It can be said that others avoid it."

Xiao Lingjiang laughed and said: "My brother and I have been traveling all over the country. This is the first time I heard about this place. I am just a little curious. This place is so evil and dangerous. If you know it, you can avoid it more in the future..."

Hu Shang sighed: "What you are saying is not unreasonable. Legend has it that the Devil City appeared in the desert leading from Shazhou to the Western Regions. As for the specific location, everyone has their own version, and others are looking for it. It can’t be found. It’s precisely because of this that people are more aware of the evil ways..."

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The desert was vast. If there was no specific location, it would probably take a lot of effort to find such a small city hidden by a formation.

But now that we know what this devil city is about, it should be much easier to inquire about it next.

She put aside this problem for the time being, took off the silk from her hunchback, and started trading with the Hu merchant.

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came. Xiao Lingjiang looked up and saw a delicate figure suddenly squeezed out of the bustling crowd, staggering towards this place.

The girl looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with a face as big as a palm full of panic.

"Where to run!"

That figure was followed closely by two people who looked like followers of Xifan. When they caught up, they fiercely waved their whips at the slender figure.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw this, and the hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly. The whip-wielding servant felt his feet stagger, and then he fell to the ground fiercely. The whip that was about to fall on his body also tilted. It hit the ground sideways.

The man threw down the ashes he had eaten. He struggled to get up and turned to look at his companion: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Catch him quickly!"

Upon seeing this, his companions quickly stepped forward and grabbed the fleeing delicate girl.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The girl was caught and struggled and screamed.

The servant who fell down got up, stretched out his hand and slapped the girl: "It is your blessing that my master likes you. If you run away again, you will be ungrateful, and your family will not be able to do anything good." Live your life!”

The girl's cheeks turned red after being struck by his palm. However, she did not dare to struggle anymore when she heard the words "family member" and her whole body slumped.

Someone on the side was whispering: "What's going on?"

"Which Tibetan dignitary in the city is interested in this young lady..."

"Falled in?" Someone frowned, "Isn't this just robbing a girl? Why don't you sue the officials?"

"Shhh..." the person next to him lowered his voice, "Shazhou is now under the control of Xibo. It seems that these two guards are from the powerful families of Xibo. The people in the city are just like ants. How can they resist and accuse the officials? room?"

"Hey..." After hearing this, the man couldn't help but sigh lowly. Although he was not from the Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw this situation. "The survivors are here, and it is difficult to return to the homeland. It is difficult..."

Xiao Lingjiang's heart sank slightly when he heard this. Yes, it seems that business in Shazhou is as usual now, but the survivors of the Zhou Dynasty who are struggling for their lives at the hands of the Xibo people don't know what kind of torture they will have to endure...

The girl lowered her head and left with the two followers as if resigned to her fate.

Everyone was talking about it, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop him.Being so arrogant in Shazhou City is not something that small businessmen like them can afford to offend.

Xiao Lingjiang wanted to stop him, but he also knew that now was not the time.Once they take action at this time and attract the attention of the Xibo people or the shrine, their plan for this trip may be over.

She exchanged a look with Pei You, then bowed her hand to Hu Shang, saying that she had something to do and left the transaction to Pei You, and then she disappeared into the crowd and left in a hurry.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Xiao Lingjiang lay on the roof for a long time, then he heard a "squeak" sound and opened the door, and a middle-aged Tibetan man with a big belly walked into the house: "Get out of here first!"

The maids in the room bowed and then left one after another, leaving the girl who had been tied up in the mansion of a powerful man in Xibo sitting in front of the bed.The middle-aged man smiled proudly, took off his coat, and walked towards the girl beside the bed with a smile.

The girl couldn't help but shrink in fear.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to reach out and touch the girl, Xiao Lingjiang formed a seal on his hand and waved lightly, and the middle-aged man fell silently on the couch.

"Ah!" The girl couldn't help but exclaimed.

The maids outside the door didn't take it seriously. The master brought back many young ladies from outside, and there were also quite a few who were reluctant and desperate. They were already used to it.

They... it's better not to disturb the master's mood.

The two looked at each other and then stepped away from each other.

"Shh!" Xiao Lingjiang whispered to the girl through the lifted tiles, "I'm here to save you."

The girl raised her head and was startled when she saw her. She was afraid of disturbing others, so she quickly covered her mouth.

Xiao Lingjiang turned over and got off the roof. She saw that no one was guarding the yard. She was about to go forward and push the door open, but she saw a black shadow entering the house ahead of her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and jumped in.

The man in black noticed the movement behind him and quickly used his palm to fight back, and the two men exchanged hands for a while.

This man wore a white smiling mask on his face, only revealing a pair of deep eyes, which looked extremely weird.He looked at Xiao Lingjiang in front of him, and saw that she was dressed in gray robes, with a dark face, and she looked like a businessman, and he couldn't help but have a deep look in his eyes.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

Xiao Lingjiang turned over to avoid his palm, took a few steps back, and then pointed at the girl: "Of course I'm here for her."

Hearing this, the girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes. This little brother is here to save me. He was the one who knocked this Tibetan man unconscious."

Looking at the smiling mask on the face of the man in black, the fear in her heart gradually receded: "White-faced knight, are you here to save me too?"

She heard from her grandpa that there was a white-faced knight in Shazhou, wearing a smiling mask and black clothes, who acted chivalrously and rescued the people of Shazhou who were tortured by the Tibetans from fire and water.

Doesn't the description of the person in front of me mean that of the white-faced knight?
Xiao Lingjiang frowned when he heard this. Although she didn't know who the white-faced knight was, she could tell from the girl's expression that he might not be a bad person.

Seeing that the man nodded, she also stopped her offensive: "Since you and I have the same purpose, let's take people out of here as soon as possible."

The man nodded, stepped forward, swung his sword and slashed the neck of the Western man lying on the couch, and then whispered: "Let's go."

Xiao Lingjiang glanced at the blood on the couch and moved away lightly. He heard that this man had always committed adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil, and now he would die without regret.

The girl was startled. She clenched her trembling hands, calmed down and walked out with the two of them.

This white-faced knight has good martial arts skills, and with Xiao Lingjiang here, it will be easy for the two of them to take the girl out.

However, as Bai Rina's guardian said, the girl still has her family. Now that a dignitary in Xibo is dead, it is inevitable that they will be held accountable, and they will have to be arranged separately.

"I will arrange this matter." The white-faced knight put on a smiling face, but his voice was low.
