Jiang Zuiyao was a little surprised. She didn't know why Dieyi appeared here, so she asked, "Why are you here?"

Dieyi smiled slightly: "After singing the opera, of course I want to go home."

Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "It's very lively here, so I'm not very scared."

Dieyi walked forward without any restraint, as if she knew Jiang Zuiyao very well: "My family lives in the south of the city, and I happened to be on the road with you. I wonder if Miss Zuiyao can give me a favor and go together?"

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't refuse, so she nodded.

She and Dieyi walked side by side, with Linghui following behind.

Jiang Zuiyao wanted to ask Dieyi how he traveled through time, but Dieyi spoke first: "Master Shao didn't go back with you?"

When someone asked, Jiang Zuiyao replied: "No, he may have something else to do, so he asked me to go back first."

Dieyi nodded perfunctorily: "It's such a mess here, but he actually feels comfortable letting you go back alone."

Jiang Zuiyao was a little puzzled and looked around. Although it was a little late and there were not as many people as before, there were still some people in the area: "What can people do to disturb this place?"

Dieyi turned to look at Jiang Zuiyao and smiled slightly: "It just seems like everything is fine on the surface. This kind of place will be in chaos after another hour."

Jiang Zuiyao still didn't understand: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Dieyi raised his head and glanced at the bright moon hanging in the sky, then looked at the storefronts with lights on both sides of the street, and said meaningfully: "There is an unwritten rule on Shunfu Road. After midnight every night, all stores

Everything will be closed. At that time, the streets that seemed lively during the day will suddenly become dark and quiet, and some people will take this opportunity to do some shameful things."

In this way, Shunfu Road was immediately described as mysterious, making Jiang Zuiyao very curious.

Jiang Zuiyao seemed to have remembered Chi Rong's words just now and told her to return home before midnight.

So, why?

She asked doubtfully: "Some people? Who?"

Dieyi still smiled: "The shops on Shunfu Road are not opened by ordinary people, and those who can come here for recreation are not ordinary people. Since they are not ordinary people, there will be a lot of right and wrong. How many people died on this Shunfu Road night?

It’s normal.”

Jiang Zuiyao was not afraid at first, but when Die Yi said this, she looked at the full moon in the sky, guessing that it was almost time to leave her son, and she couldn't help but shrink.

Dieyi looked at Jiang Zuiyao's appearance at this moment and asked, "Are you scared?"

Out of dignity, Jiang Zuiyao shook her head.

At this time, I heard the watchman coming from the street in the distance, shouting loudly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!——"

"Blow the gong to notify us, close the doors and windows, and be careful of candles!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!——"

"At midnight, turn off the lights and close the door!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!——"

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"

Jiang Zuiyao was startled, was it already midnight? It seemed that she had misjudged the time. Why did time pass so fast?

Accompanied by the shouts of the watchman, the shops along the street turned off their lights and closed their doors one after another, and the bustling crowd dispersed on the street.

Jiang Zuiyao has only walked two-thirds of this Shunfu Road, and there is still a section of the road that has not been completed.

Dieyi smiled at Jiang Zuiyao at this time: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Die Yi continued to walk forward. Jiang Zuiyao was somewhat timid and followed closely behind Die Yi. No matter what Die Yi did, he was a man after all.

Gradually, as Die Yi said, the streets became dark and quiet, as if they had been a separator at midnight. The most lively place in Zhaojing now became dark and quiet, making people scared without realizing it.

As Jiang Zuiyao walked on the quiet street, she could even hear her own footsteps clearly. The sound of the soles of her shoes rubbing against the floor tiles was so small, but in such a quiet environment, the sound seemed very clear.

Jiang Zuiyao only looked forward to returning home as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, when passing by an inn, I suddenly heard a sound coming from above my head: "Whoosh——"

Jiang Zuiyao raised her eyes and saw a point of light flying over her head. It was not starlight, but fire!

Jiang Zuiyao's eyes were fixed on the fire: with a "pop", the fire passed through the second floor of the inn, broke the paper window and flew in.

Only then did she see clearly that it was a fire bow and arrow!

Jiang Zuiyao was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted: "Someone is setting fire!"

Dieyi instantly turned around and raised her hand to cover Jiang Zuiyao's mouth, keeping a smile on her face. Now she became serious and said coldly: "Stop talking! Don't you want to live anymore?"

Jiang Zuiyao gasped, and while she was talking, the rocket that flew into the inn suddenly ignited from a faint light.

Looking from below, the house was already on fire.

Immediately afterwards, someone in the room was heard shouting in panic: "It's on fire! Someone, come! Help!"

From the sound of the voice, it was a man.

Later, I saw five or six men in black flying out from the roof of the inn. They flew through the window and entered the inn with strong dexterity skills.

Under the moonlight, the sharp knife in the hand of the man in black reflected a dazzling light.

Jiang Zuiyao was so shocked that she was stunned. Even a fool could see that someone was trying to murder the people staying in that inn.

Dieyi raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Zuiyao's arm and ran away.

Dieyi ran very fast, and Jiang Zuiyao couldn't keep up even though her legs were running fast.

"Ouch!"

Jiang Zuiyao screamed and fell to the ground.

Dieyi quickly helped her up: "Let's go!"

Jiang Zuiyao was already bruised and injured by Shao Ziqing, and the fall made her body more painful. She staggered to her feet and continued running forward without caring about anything else.

Jiang Zuiyao wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but suddenly she heard a bright voice yelling from behind: "Stop! Who are you? How dare you assassinate the governor of Jiangzhou!"

This voice immediately stopped Jiang Zuiyao. She recognized the voice and turned back suddenly, her eyes suddenly glazed over.

Under the moonlight and firelight, Jiang Zuiyao could clearly see that Shao Ziqing was standing by the window of the inn, holding a sharp sword in his hand.

!!

Shao Ziqing didn't return home?

Jiang Zuiyao was stunned. She didn't expect Shao Ziqing to show up here. Did she know that there was an assassination attempt and came here to stop it? So coming to the theater tonight is just a pretense?

Before Jiang Zuiyao could think clearly, he saw a fire on the second floor of the inn, and a fight with swords and swords.

Shao Ziqing did not come alone. He also brought some of his men and fought with the gang of men in black who set fire to kill people.

At this time, Dieyi took Jiang Zuiyao's arm again and said in a somewhat anxious voice: "What are you doing standing here stupidly? Let's go quickly!"

Dieyi did not wait for Jiang Zuiyao to hesitate, and started running while pulling Jiang Zuiyao.

Jiang Zuiyao was also very scared at the moment and couldn't care so much. She just ran away with Dieyi.

They ran for a long time without stopping for a moment, and finally reached the door of the house.

Dieyi then let go of Jiang Zuiyao's hand. Jiang Zuiyao was panting out of breath and couldn't even speak. She was really exhausted.

Sweat broke out on Dieyi's forehead, but compared to Jiang Zuiyao, he was not as out of breath.
