“Yes, yes, yes!”
The two vendors decided to stop talking about the matter, but unexpectedly a tall middle-aged man on the street brought it up to them again.
"Two young men, you just said there was a fight at the market entrance. What's going on?"
The vegetable vendor and the fruit vendor looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit understanding.
"have no idea!"
Village Chief Xu understood that the two vendors would not tell him this for no reason.
After selecting three pears from the fruit vendor's stall and a handful of vegetables from the vegetable vendor's, he asked, "My two young men, my niece came to the market this morning, but she hasn't returned home yet. I also heard you say there was a fight at the market that morning. I'm really worried that my niece might have been caught in the act and gotten into trouble."
There will be business, the fruit vendor answered readily.
"No, although the fight this morning was fierce, there were basically no casualties left at the scene, except for a large number of weapons and fruit and vegetable peels."
The vegetable vendor also explained enthusiastically: "Yes, so your niece will be fine. Even if she is, I think the only woman who saw blood shouldn't be your niece, right? Because she was wearing a mask and looked like someone from the underworld..."
Hearing the word "mask", Village Chief Xu already had the answer in his mind. He excitedly pulled the vegetable vendor's sleeve and asked, "The person you are talking about should be my niece.
Brother... Is my niece injured? Where is she now...
I...how can I find her? Please tell me, please tell me quickly..."
"this……"
The vegetable vendor didn't expect that Chief Xu would react so strongly, and he didn't expect that the woman he was talking about was the niece of the middle-aged man in front of him.
But seeing that Village Chief Xu looked so anxious, the vegetable vendor timidly pointed in the direction of a certain place.
"Uncle, I saw a masked man in black carrying you...your niece on his shoulders.
I don’t know where he was taking your niece, but he was going in that direction…”
Following the vegetable vendor's gesture, Village Chief Xu looked behind him. Behind him was a wide street, but at this moment there were only a few pedestrians on the street.
Facing this endless street, Village Chief Xu felt indescribable despair in his heart and could only sigh.
"Oh my god... Fengyun Town is not small, but not big either. I only know one direction, but where should I go to find Jiaying?
If I can't find Jiaying, I won't be able to go back to Guangming Village!"
…
Fengyun Town. An Inn
In the wing room, a nearly seven-foot-tall man in white clothes and black hair stood behind another man in black clothes with his hands behind his back, holding a paper fan.
The man in black was bending over and carefully applying herbal medicine to a girl who was lying on the bed with a mask on her face.
After bandaging the girl's wounds, the black-robed man stood up straight and looked seriously at the white-robed man behind him. He said rudely, "Are you a pig? I only asked you to lead the team to create chaos in the market. How could you be so foolish as to attack an innocent citizen?"
The man in white knew he was being reckless. He lowered his head and defended himself aggrievedly, "Brother, do you think I wanted to? But the people setting up stalls at the market entrance were all members of the imperial court in disguise. I saw this girl wearing a mask and looking around furtively. How could I have known she was a truly ordinary citizen, with no martial arts skills at all?"
