"What exactly do you want?" Duan Yunzheng asked with a stern face.

"It's not what I want! It's what you guys want to do? This bitch almost killed me before, and now she wants to arrest me. No matter how you look at it, I'm innocent!"

Ji Changying spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"Let him go, and we can let bygones be bygones."

"No! That won't do. Who would dare to believe you like this? I'm afraid that as soon as I release the people, you will tear me into pieces! Let's put it this way, I feel that I can't stay in Dongning County anymore. You open the city gates and let me go now, otherwise..."

Lao Shi beside him tightened his grip, pinching Cui Jin so hard that his face immediately turned red and purple.

"Stop!" Duan Yunzheng shouted nervously.

If something happened to Cui Qi here, not to mention how the court would hold him accountable, even the Cui family would not let him go.

"Alas, I don't have much patience. It depends on how long General Duan Qian takes to consider. Anyway, I'm going to die today, so killing him is worth it!"

Ji Changying waved to the people next to him, and Lao Shi didn't even blink, drew his sword and stabbed Cui Qi in the waist.

Blood spurted out immediately and splashed some on Ji Changying's face.

···

She just asked him to use the sword to scare the other party, but this big brother took action directly. He is a ruthless person!

"stop!!!"

Duan Yunzheng's eyelids twitched violently. Seeing that the other party had gone to such a point, he was determined not to let the matter go peacefully.

His eyes swept over the carriage behind Ji Changying and the others. "A mere businessman, quite courageous! He only recruited a few lackeys, yet dared to challenge the government!"

He sneered: "I want to see how far you can go. Let me go!"

Ji Changying bowed and said, "Thank you very much, General Duan Qian, for your understanding. You don't need to worry about how far I can go."

She waved her hand cheerfully: "Let's go!"

The carriage left the inn openly, and the people who were being held in the lobby were all stunned.

They were walking on the road in a swaggering manner. Gao Lingwen, who had hurried over with his men, saw them and immediately rushed over.

"General Duan Qian! What is this...?"

Gao Lingwen was a little hesitant and even a little confused about the situation.

The other party suddenly transformed into a convoy and walked slowly towards the city gate, not looking like they were fleeing at all.

Behind him, General Duan Qian had a stern face and led his men to follow. Those who didn't know would think they were all guards!

"Master Cui is in their hands. These people are ruthless and merciless. No matter how much they persuade him, they will not listen. They demand that they be released from the city immediately, otherwise they will kill Master Cui."

Gao Lingwen gasped, "I think they are just a caravan, how dare they be so bold?!!"

Duan Yunzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be someone behind this! How could an ordinary caravan possibly afford all these guards?"

Gao Lingwen also fell silent. He was just a small county magistrate and could not take care of this matter.

"Then what should we do? Just let him go?"

Duan Yunzheng said with a cold face: "What else? Do you think these people really dare not do anything to Cui Qi?"

Judging from the aura these people have, I wonder how many lives they have taken.

Gao Lingwen didn't dare to say a word the whole time he was being criticized.

Soon they arrived at the city gate. Ji Changying glanced behind him and said, "Open the gate. What are you waiting for?"

Gao Lingwen glanced at Duan Yunzheng, whose face was livid, swallowed his saliva, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate——"

The heavy gate was slowly opened. Ji Changying shook his head and the carriage gradually accelerated and ran towards the outside of the city gate.

Duan Yunzheng's expression was tense, and he didn't dare to fall behind even a little bit on his horse: "We've already left the city gate, it's time to return!"

Ji Changying glanced at Cui Qi, who was bleeding from being stabbed, and said loudly, "I'll return the person to you. If you don't find a doctor right away, I'm afraid he'll be breathing more than he breathes in! Hahaha."

She grabbed Cui Qi's body and threw him ten meters away with a force of her hand. Duan Yunzheng's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly turned around to chase after him to pick him up.

Seeing that Cui Qi was about to fall to the ground and be seriously injured again, Duan Yunzheng stepped on the horse's back, flew out and caught the man at the last critical moment.

The first thing he did was touch Cui Qi’s neck and found that he was still alive.

Gao Lingwen caught up, panting heavily. "Master Cui...Master Cui, what's wrong?"

Duan Yunzheng put him on the horse: "Go back to the city! Find a doctor!"

No one is more important than Cui Qi's life now.

Gao Lingwen watched him ride away, then resigned himself to his fate and turned around to run back.

····

Lao Shi looked at Ji Changying beside him silently: "The boss is really strong."

Ji Changying shook her arms. "It's a life-threatening matter, how could it not be serious? My arm is almost dislocated, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and catch the bus?"

Old Ten: “...Yes.”

He didn't dare to stop along the way and rushed towards Liangzhou City without stopping.

Not long after, Ji Changying heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. Everyone else was on high alert, their hands tightly gripping their swords, ready to take action as soon as they saw the pursuers.

Ji Changying used her special ability to take a look and found that it was an acquaintance.

The person on the horse behind turned out to be the one who had caused trouble in the restaurant. At this moment, his face was pale and blue, and he was riding his horse at full speed with a huge bag on his back as if he was risking his life.

"It's just one horse, why are you so nervous? If they were pursuers, how could they have so few men?"

Ji Changying signaled the other people in the car to relax a little.

Soon the man caught up with them, but he had no intention of talking and was about to pass by them like a gust of wind.

Ji Changying opened the car window and greeted with a smile: "What a coincidence? You're also running for your life in the middle of the night?"

Liu Shicong was so focused on escaping that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings. When he heard someone say that, he was startled and turned around to look. When he saw the other person's face, he was surprised and happy: "Is it you?"

Ji Changying was very enthusiastic: "Come up and sit down?"

This person was considered his savior, so Liu Shi agreed without much hesitation.

What's more, the other party has a master by his side, which is better than him being alone.

Without thinking, he threw the horse to the driver, Lao Shi, and got on the carriage himself.

Ji Changying asked curiously, "Where did you come from?"

Judging from their walking speed, they should have left the city at the same time, but they did not see Liu Shicong when they left the city.

Liu Shicong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't mention it. I got out through a dog hole! After all this trouble, I've sobered up from the alcohol I drank."

Ji Changying clicked her tongue and shook her head: "My name is Li Changmu. I haven't asked for your name yet, brother?"

"Liu Shicong!"

After exchanging names, the two started chatting.

Liu Shi's ancestors were businessmen, but unfortunately they were squeezed out by the aristocratic families and then experienced wars and changes of dynasties. Until now, his family has fallen into poverty and no longer has any big business.
