Seeing how frightened and absent-minded he was, and how he trembled every time he spoke, Dugu Yu almost wanted to open his skull and search his brain!
He grabbed the night watchman by the collar, his eyes bloodshot, "Where did they go?"
The night watchman was so frightened that he peed himself. He stretched out his trembling fingers and said, "Over there..."
Dugu Yu threw the man aside, jumped over the wall, and chased in the direction the night watchman pointed.
Murong Ce did not know martial arts and could not climb walls and fly over rooftops like Dugu Yu, so he could only stay and continue to interrogate the night watchman.
"Why are you so sure that man is the legendary killer? Did you see his face?"
The night watchman nodded frantically. Without Dugu Yu's terrifying aura, he spoke much more fluently.
"I saw him grab a girl who was passing by, and then he put his hand on her neck and said, 'Women who are unfaithful to their husbands, all deserve to die!'"
Murong Ce frowned slightly. Unfaithful to one's husband? Was he referring to Qin Qingyao?
She was just walking home alone. How could that man know that she was unfaithful to her husband?
"Did you see clearly what that person looked like? What clothes were he wearing? What weapon was he holding?"
"I saw him wearing all black clothes and a black hat on his head, but the hat was kicked off by the girl when she struggled, revealing a face uglier than a ghost!"
Uglier than a ghost?
Is it because he is so ugly that he scared his wife away, so he hates women so much?
Murong Ce looked in the direction the night watchman was looking, and sure enough, he found a large black hat in the corner.
There was black gauze on all four sides to cover her face.
It seems that the ability to kick anything off a person's head must have been due to Qin Qingyao's flexible long legs.
Murong Ce couldn't catch up by himself, so he ran back to Wuling Palace, found Zhao Jinghan, and asked Zhao Jinghan to gather people to chase after him.
When Zhao Jinghan got the news, he immediately sent someone to inform Qin Yuefeng.
Personally, Qin Qingyao is Qin Yuefeng's biological sister. Publicly, the man who kidnapped the princess is very likely the murderer that the emperor urged Qin Yuefeng to bring to justice as soon as possible!
Because Qin Yuefeng has not been able to catch this man, the emperor has been dissatisfied with his work ability, and even Minister Qin will be scolded.
Now that the New Year is just around the corner, not only does he not know how to restrain himself, he even bullies Princess Wu Ling. He is so audacious!
Judging from the killer's current record, he has never failed. All the girls he targeted not only died, but also died in extremely miserable ways.
He wouldn't mistreat a girl, but he just liked to scratch her face beyond recognition and cut open her chest and dig out her heart!
It is not unfair to call him a devil!
What if something happened to Qin Qingyao this time? Zhao Jinghan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
After the curfew that night, Yulin City looked just like usual, with a cold wind and complete silence.
But in reality, there were undercurrents, and all parties were in chaos.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Even the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Duan got the news and took the trouble to actively participate in it.
Whoever can rescue Qin Qinyao will at least make Dugu Yu owe him a huge favor!
They can also catch the murderer, gain merit in front of the emperor, and leave a good impression in the hearts of the people, making them have more trust in them.
No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation and it's not a loss at all!
Dugu Yu kept his eyes and ears open, running madly in the direction indicated by the night watchman. Not long after he ran, he heard the sound of a girl struggling.
But he couldn't determine the exact location.
…
Qin Qingyao felt that she was extremely unlucky today. She was walking on the street when suddenly a man in black jumped out and grabbed her, saying that she was unfaithful to her husband and deserved to die. He said that he would destroy her in the name of justice.
Do you think you are Sailor Moon?
While struggling, she kicked off the big hat on the black-clad man's head and saw his face, which was burned by fire and looked scarier than a ghost.
Qin Qingyao was startled and shuddered with fear, but it was this shudder that directly angered this man and deeply hurt his self-esteem.
His rage rushed to his head, and he almost cut Qin Qingyao's face into a big cat-like shape with a knife.
Just at this moment, the night watchman passed by and screamed in fright. He hurriedly took Qin Qingyao hostage, jumped over the courtyard wall, and ran away.
Because Qin Qingyao was extremely uncooperative and struggled frantically, it was very difficult for him to take her away.
In desperation, he covered her mouth and dragged her to a deserted little yard where no one lived, where he hid there temporarily and kept an eye on what was happening outside.
Qin Qingyao seemed to hear Dugu Yu's voice, and she didn't know if it was because she was in extreme danger and prayed madly for Dugu Yu to come and save her that she had hallucinations.
She just felt that Dugu Yu must be looking for her outside, so she struggled even more violently. Her mouth was covered, and she almost bit the black-clad man's hand until it bled, but he didn't let her make a sound.
Qin Qingyao's eyes swept around the room, and he kicked an old and rotten pillar nearby.
She originally just wanted to make some noise, but she didn't expect that the pillar was so weak that it broke into two pieces directly after she kicked it. A lot of dead wood and tiles fell from the roof.
If the black man had not pulled her away quickly, they would both have been buried alive.
With such a big commotion, it was impossible for Dugu Yu not to notice it.
When he ran over, the man in black was slashing the dagger in his hand towards Qin Xinyao's face.
Qin Qingyao screamed and didn't even bother to struggle. She quickly raised her hands to cover her face.
There was a clang, but the expected pain did not appear on the back of her hand.
Dugu Yu raised his foot and kicked a tile on the ground, which hit the back of the man's knife accurately, causing him to slash his knife to the side.
The man in black did not try to slash Qin Qingyao's face again, but cleverly rushed behind Qin Qinyao, put one arm around her neck, and held the dagger against her slender neck with the other hand.
"Stop! If you take another step forward, I'll scratch her face and dig out her heart. You can try to see which is faster, your feet or my knife!"
Qin Qingyao quickly gestured to Dugu Yu to stop and not move forward, then pleaded very sincerely, "Hero, don't get excited, and don't let your hands shake!"
"Let's talk it out! We have no past or present grudges. There's no need to be so cruel as to slash faces and dig out hearts, right?"
"If you have any dissatisfaction with this society or any demands on this country, you can speak out. Everything can be discussed."
The black-clad hero said, "I have no demands on this country!"
"Well... then, walking in the martial arts world requires morality. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. You can't hurt a weak little girl like me, right?"
"This will only damage your illustrious reputation. If this gets out, how will you survive in the underworld? It's so embarrassing!"
"You are a great hero in the martial arts world. It is your responsibility to eliminate violence, protect the good, punish evil and promote good, uphold justice, and save the weak!"
"It would be a shame if a nobody like me were to be branded as a murderer because of you!"
The black-clad hero sneered, "Haha, innocent? I think you are shameless!"
"Looking at the way you're dressed, I know you're already married. As a proper woman, instead of staying home to take care of your husband and children, you're out here showing off in public!"
"In the dead of night, wandering around the streets alone, what kind of good person are you?"
"A woman like you who is unfaithful to her husband deserves death. If I kill you, I will be upholding justice and upholding justice! How can I lose face?"
Oh shit, so this man in black couldn’t catch her eldest brother even though he was so anxious. That murderous maniac who only kills girls is not going away, right?
Qin Qingyao rolled his eyes to the sky, and a thousand divine beasts were galloping through his mind.
Is there any justice in this world? Why?
Since this murderer has filled the trap set by the flower thief, he should go find Lin Xiafeng. Why would he capture her?
Why did that flower thief fall to the ground just by letting the most beautiful girl take a bath and seduce her, while this perverted murderer who likes to destroy people's appearance and dig out their hearts wants to take her life?
"You misunderstood, my hero. You really misunderstood! I'm definitely not someone who doesn't follow his wife's moral code. You can ask my husband... my husband. He's standing right in front of you!"
"If I were an unfaithful woman, would my husband have braved the dangers and come to rescue me in the middle of the night?"
"Besides, open your sharp eyes, which are as clear as autumn water and as perceptive as the smallest details, and take a closer look!"
"My husband, standing before you, is so handsome, so elegant, so suave, so rare and outstanding, one in a million. Even in the entire Zhaoling Kingdom, there is no other man who can compare to him!"
"I leave this unique, unparalleled, and incredibly handsome husband at home and ignore him, while I go out and commit adultery? Do you think I'm blind?"
Man in black: “…”
"Look at my big, bright eyes. They are so clear and full of wisdom. I am absolutely not blind!"
"So how could I be so desperate as to be unfaithful to my husband? It's just too difficult for me to do it!"
Dugu Yu: “…”
The man in black's face was so badly disfigured that if you didn't look closely at his eyes, you really couldn't tell what his expression was.
He looked at Dugu Yu with a confused and questioning look, as if asking, "Is this crazy woman in my hand really your wife?"
Dugu Yu tensed up all his nerves and searched for a long time, but he couldn't find an attack angle that could perfectly take down the man in black and ensure Qin Qingyao's safety.
So he could only nod in agreement, "Yes, she is my wife, and I am her husband."
Qin Qingyao was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. If she hadn't lost her freedom now, she would definitely jump up and give Dugu Yu a loving kiss~
