Chapter 98 - Behind the Scenes
"Boss, what should we do?" Gouji looked at the boss with a chill in his heart.
But the boss was furious and said, "Bastard, you don't want to be punished for your wine. Brothers, let's go!" With that, he ran straight towards Xiao Yi.
Dog Two and Zhu San looked at each other and followed closely behind.
Xiao Yi grunted lightly, his voice full of disdain, and when the gang rushed in front of him, he made several of them stumble with a sweep.
The boss, who was clearly the best of the gang, dodged backwards and was so angry that his lungs exploded and he cursed loudly, "Useless bastards! Get up, surround him, I don't believe it, there are so many of us and we can't beat him!"
The gangsters kept saying "ouch, ouch", but still got up from the ground and pounced on Xiao Yi again.
Xiao Yi was agile, dodging left and right, wandering among the thugs with great agility.
Although Nangong Yue knew that Xiao Yi's martial arts skills were good, she was still a bit worried when she saw that the other side was not only crowded but also armed with fierce weapons.
At that moment, Zhu San picked up a wooden stick from the ground and approached Xiao Yi's back with a fierce smile, but Xiao Yi was concentrating on the four gangsters in front of him, as if he didn't notice the threat approaching from behind.
"Xiao Yi, be careful behind you." Nangong Yue could not help but shout out.
Xiao Yi twisted his body to avoid Zhu San's secret attack, and kicked Zhu San fiercely in the chest.
Zhu San gave a stifled grunt and spat out a mouthful of blood, holding his chest and taking several steps back, the wooden stick fell to the ground with a thud. Xiao Yi bent down to pick up the wooden stick, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of Zhu San and hit him on the head with a "thud".
Zhu San didn't even have time to scream before he fell straight to the ground, apparently knocked unconscious.
After Xiao Yi beat Zhu San away, the other gangsters attacked again. This time, Xiao Yi had a wooden stick in his hand, so he was like a godsend, and he knocked one of them out with a single blow, and beat those punks to death in an instant.
Nangong Yue's heart suddenly understood and she held her forehead speechlessly. It seemed that Xiao Yi was just playing with these punks at the beginning, so she was worrying about him too much!
When the boss saw that his men were no match for Xiao Yi, he became anxious and turned to Nangong Yue, suddenly rushing towards her in the hope of catching her.
Nangong Yue smiled coldly and did not panic. She raised her delicate hand, and a white mist rose in the air, heading towards the boss.
Xiao Yi saw that the boss wanted to make a move on Nangong Yue, originally wanted to rush over and have a heroic rescue, but did not want the beauty to have her own abundance of goods to eat. This is the first time I've ever seen the white mist, and there was a silver light in it.
He laughed in his heart at the boss's lack of eyesight, he might as well let himself beat him up!
As expected, the boss was soon in trouble. He didn't expect Nangong Yue to have such a move, and as soon as he was touched by the white mist, he immediately felt weak and fell to the ground with a "thud".
And that was just the beginning...
Soon, he felt pain and itch all over his body, and the pain was so deep that he felt it in his bones; and the itch was so deep that he wanted to scratch his skin. "Ouch! Aigoo!" He was crying and screaming on the ground, so miserable.
The men were dumbfounded when they saw their boss in such a state.
"Boss." Gouji screamed and jumped to the boss's side, but did not dare to touch him, fearing that he might be infected too.
"Lady ...... spare my life ......" the boss finally could not bear the inhuman torture and began to beg for mercy, " Little dare not again. Lady, it is because of my ignorance of the mountain, please be generous and let me go!"
Xiao Yi walked over and kicked the boss twice, saying coldly: "Say, who sent you?"
"No ...... no one ......" the boss denied it.
"No one? That means you are the main culprits?" Xiao Yi said lazily, "If you were accomplices, then you could be spared and sentenced lightly. Since you are the main culprits, then your lives will be left behind."
Everyone was scared out of their wits. This pair of men and women are like a pair of living Kings of Hell, really want their lives, but even easier to do.
One of the gangsters screamed in fear: "You ...... can't do this, there's no law anymore."
"Have you ever obeyed the king's law?" Xiao Yi's voice was as cold as ice dregs as he stepped hard on the boss's chest.
The gangsters only felt like they had fallen into an ice hole, cold through the heart, and could not say anything. To be honest, apart from murder and arson, they have done a lot of other bad things. If the law was really followed, they would have been sentenced to jail time.
When they thought about it, they felt the cold sweat on their backs.
At that moment, Zhu San woke up and saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly crawled out like a snail and tried to sneak away. He thought that no one would notice, but he did not know that this had already fallen into Xiao Yi's eyes, only to see Xiao Yi's right foot flicked up, and a stone on the ground shot out like a bullet, hitting Zhu San's door heavily.
Zhu San fell to the ground with a loud thud, gnawing on the mud in his mouth, spitting it out and begging for mercy: "Please forgive me, good man! Forgive me, my lord!"
"Speak!" Xiao Yi bellowed.
Although Xiao Yi's words were brief and concise, but Zhu San knew what he meant, and hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube, and gave a thorough explanation: "A girl asked us to do this, she didn't say her name, but I followed her secretly later and saw her rendezvous with the people of the Pingyang Marquis." Like Zhu San, this kind of marketplace gangster knows the art of self-preservation, of course, he won't blindly listen to people's instructions, he has to keep a hand for himself at any rate!
"What did she ask you to do?" His voice was tinged with a storm of anger, and his face was as dark as a cloud.
"She told us to find a girl in a lake blue dress and teach her a lesson. She also said that the girl won the top prize in the riddle competition at the Sheng Hua Restaurant tonight!" Zhu San hurriedly said.
Nangong Yue was stunned, could it be County Princess Mingyue? Today at the Sheng Hua Restaurant, Princess Mingyue obviously mistook herself for Nangong Hang ...... Did Princess Mingyue do this to a girl just because she was jealous? If she hadn't carried with her the protective medicinal powder, if she hadn't had the help of Xiao Yi, if she had really been won over by these scoundrels, what kind of fate would she have had, county princess Mingyue would never have imagined! Just some small things, but it was ...... Nangong Yue secretly clenched her fist with hatred.
"Is that all?" Xiao Yi asked again in a stern voice, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
"That's all." At that moment, the boss spoke weakly, "Hero, please spare our lives!"
Since he had already asked, Xiao Yi was generous enough to let go: "All right, you guys go, but remember, if you dare next time ......" said, only to hear a "thud", He easily pressed the wooden stick in his hand into the ground. There were cracks in the ground, which scared the punks so much that they were afraid that the stick would be stuck in their bodies and their lives would be in danger, so they nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
The boss got up with trembling legs and pleaded, "Lady, please give me the antidote."
Nangong Yue took out a white paper packet from her purse and shook it, "Have you seen this girl tonight?"
The boss was quick to understand and said hurriedly, "No, I haven't! No! We haven't seen the girl tonight."
Nangong Yue nodded in satisfaction and casually threw the white paper bag to him, saying, "Alright, you guys go."
The thugs fled as if they had been pardoned and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Stinky girl, you haven't seen me for two months, did you miss me?" Xiao Yi walked up to Nangong Yue, took off the mask on his face and laughed to himself, "Hehe, you owe me another favour!"
There he goes again! Nangong Yue couldn't stand it and rolled her eyes, saying, "I haven't blamed you for getting me into trouble last time!" She was naturally referring to the incident that happened at the manor that night. "You're the first to ask for a reward!"
As she said this, she lifted her mask, revealing her fair face, the hair scattered around her shoulders and ears lifting gently in a beautiful arc in the air.
There was a smile on her childish face, and with this smile, Xiao Yi felt that all the brilliant lights everywhere had lost their colour, and the stars in the sky were no longer shining, and all that was left was such a bright smile like a flower, and nothing else could catch his eye.
Xiao Yi could not help but be a little dumbfounded, his eyes fixed on Nangong Yue for a long time and could not move. When she saw this look on him, Nangong Yue frowned.
Xiao Yi then came back to his senses, no embarrassment on his face, he said with a smile, "Stinky girl, didn't I make it up to you today?" He deliberately counted his fingers and said, "First, you wanted to play riddles, so I helped you push your big brother!" If he hadn't "just happened" to pass by them wearing a mask, how would Nangong Sheng, that brainiac, have agreed to the girls going to the quiz? "Secondly, didn't I give you the painting?"
The more he said, the angrier Nangong Yue became. Did he have to "let" her like that? If he really had the heart to "let", he should have just lost to himself in question 10! He had to make it so complicated!
Nangong Yue rubbed her faintly painful forehead, met his crystal eyes and asked with a sigh, "How is your injury?"
Xiao Yi froze for a moment, thinking: that little injury, it's been two months, naturally it's healed ...... But when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly had a flash of light and changed his tune, saying sadly: "Hey, it's scarred now, when it rains, the scar hurts!"
Of course, Nangong Yue knew that he was pretending, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She sighed in her heart, no matter what, Xiao Yi had helped herself today, she had to appreciate it.
Thinking of this, she threw a medicine bottle to Xiao Yi: "Take it."
Xiao Yi was quick to pick it up, it was a small white jade vial, he played with it, and asked, "This is ......"
"It's for removing scars, it's very effective, remember to apply it once a day." With that, she turned around and left.
Xiao Yi gripped the white jade vial in his hand and then followed silently behind her from afar. Although the stinky girl was quite capable, he was still uneasy! He had never seen such a considerate person!
