PNB Chapter 111: Do something big
Chapter 111: Do something big
Sun Qiao'er looked at Yu Rongguang, then gave a cold smile:
"Senior brother, such a big thing happened in the area under your jurisdiction, and you still have the nerve to ask me what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Rongguang remained calm and chuckled. He then looked around and spotted Bihe lying in the courtyard.
"Hehe, junior sister, it seems your little maid is dead. I knew it. That little girl didn't know her place and would get herself killed sooner or later."
Yu Rongguang seemed quite satisfied as he watched Sun Qiao'er's increasingly unpleasant expression. Only then did he notice Ding Yi standing behind her.
"Huh? People from the Patrol Division?"
Yu Rongguang squinted at Ding Yi's flying cloud robe and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
"Your Excellency, I have tracked down the rebels here, but unfortunately I am too late. They have already left when I arrived."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"I don't recall anyone named you in the Patrol Division."
Yu Rongguang waved his hand, and immediately a person behind him stepped out.
Ding Yi looked at the newcomer, who turned out to be Zhao Xuan, the captain of the first team of the Inner City Patrol Division.
"Captain Zhao, is this someone from your team?"
Yu Rongguang said.
"Sir, they are indeed from my patrol division, but..."
"But what?"
"He is merely a clerk in the archives and should not have the authority to inspect."
Zhao Xuan said slowly.
The reason Zhao Xuan didn't make a definitive statement was because he saw Ding Yi standing behind Sun Qiao'er, his expression remaining calm throughout, as if he was certain that nothing was wrong.
As a shrewd and worldly man in officialdom, he naturally considered certain possibilities. Therefore, he had to answer Yu Rongguang's question, but also leave himself a way out.
Zhao Xuan was well aware that he couldn't afford to offend either of the two important figures present.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Sun Qiao'er said indifferently:
"This man is one of my warriors; he may act as he sees fit in special circumstances."
"Hehe, junior sister, you're really something! You've only been here a few days and you've already taken in a martial artist, tsk tsk tsk..."
Yu Rongguang looked at Ding Yi and then at Sun Qiao'er, letting out a strange, tsk-tsk laugh.
"Alright, tell me, where did Bai Wangyun go?"
Yu Rongguang changed the subject and asked Sun Qiao'er in a low voice.
"Ding Hai, you speak."
Sun Qiao'er said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi realized that Sun Qiao'er was hesitant to make decisions on crucial issues, so she handed over the right to explain to him. This move was ingenious in terms of both timing and status.
Sun Qiao'er is indeed a person in an important position. Apart from being a little weak in strength, she is very experienced.
After a slight pause, Ding Yi said:
"Your Excellencies, I followed Nangong Tian all the way here. After I saw him enter this place, he soon jumped over the wall with a figure on his back."
"Immediately afterwards, the martial arts school caught fire, and by the time I came in, it was already like this."
After Ding Yi finished speaking, he fell silent.
In fact, given the limited clues, all Ding Yi had to do was give a correct opening statement, but by skipping the intermediate steps, he could lead the people in the room astray.
"Nangong Tian..."
Yu Rongguang frowned. He knew Nangong Tian, the deputy captain of the second team of the patrol division, and according to his intelligence, this person might indeed be a member of the Chaotic God Cult.
Thinking of this, Yu Rongguang immediately snorted coldly:
"Chase them! They can't have gone far!"
After saying that, Yu Rongguang led the group through the flames and out of the courtyard, leaving only Sun Qiao'er and Ding Yi in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Sun Qiao'er was about to turn around and speak to Ding Yi when she heard Ding Yi suddenly say behind her:
"Sir, let's go after them too. As long as these rebels are not eliminated, Qingfeng County will never have peace."
Sun Qiao'er was a quick-witted person, and upon hearing this, she immediately understood Ding Yi's meaning. She nodded and said:
"Yes, let's go."
After saying that, Sun Qiao'er went to the courtyard and picked up Bihe's body. Then she and Ding Yi jumped out of the fire circle and left the Bai family martial arts school after a few leaps.
After the two left, another figure suddenly walked into the courtyard engulfed in flames.
Yu Rongguang returned, first glancing at the burning rooms around him, then frowning deeply.
"They even took the body away, so it doesn't seem like they were threatened."
As Yu Rongguang spoke, he began to walk along the edge of the courtyard, inspecting the area as he went.
In his view, Sun Qiao'er, who was always proud and arrogant, would never easily accept a martial artist as her subordinate, especially since Ding Yi was a man.
Although the Tianxia Divine Palace has a tradition of taking in warriors as servants and then bestowing them upon the gods, Sun Qiao'er has never taken in a single one over the years.
"Could it be because that maid died?"
As Yu Rongguang walked, he bent down and touched the marks on the ground.
"Sword energy, blade aura, it's Sun Qiao'er's Autumn Moon Sword."
Yu Rongguang's brows furrowed even more.
It was obvious that Sun Qiao'er had fought someone here, and the opponent was highly skilled. Judging from the force of the blade energy penetrating the brick, the opponent was at least a master of swordsmanship.
"When did the Chaotic Gods Cult acquire a master swordsman?"
Thinking of this, Yu Rongguang got up and went to the corpse of the black-armored guard. He bent down and touched the wounds on the body, and found that the cracks on the armor were caused by the blade energy. Instantly, a scene was simulated in his mind.
Sun Qiao'er and Bihe caught up with the mysterious person in the courtyard and fought with him.
The black-armored guard and the girl named Bihe were killed with a single blow, and Sun Qiao'er and the mysterious man began a fierce battle in the courtyard.
As Yu Rongguang pondered this, he walked towards the side room whose door had been smashed open, the scene in his mind continuing to unfold.
In his mind, Sun Qiao'er and that mysterious man fought their way into the side room and stayed there for a long time.
But too many traces could not be found at this moment. After all, the flames were too big, and everything in front of him was covered by the collapsed beams, which made Yu Rongguang feel sorry for him.
"My dear junior sister, what exactly did you two talk about here?"
Yu Rongguang's eyes suddenly sharpened, then a strange smile appeared on his lips before he turned and left.
Behind him, the side room, which had been burning for a long time, could no longer hold on and collapsed with a crash. The flames shot up high and illuminated the sky.
Meanwhile, on a pavilion not far from the martial arts school, Sun Qiao'er and Ding Yi stood side by side, looking at Yu Rongguang in the martial arts school, both remaining silent.
After a long pause, Sun Qiao'er spoke:
"Sir, how did you know he would come back?"
Ding Yi stood there, looking at the martial arts school that had been completely engulfed by the fire, and said:
"I don't know, but I'm used to treating enemies like they're cheating."
"What does 'cheating' mean?"
Sun Qiao'er was somewhat puzzled.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you, are all the people downstairs yours?"
Ding Yi changed the subject and pointed to the black-armored guards who had surrounded the pavilion below.
"Yes, sir, I brought thirty black-armored guards from the palace, and they've all been deployed tonight."
Sun Qiao'er said.
"Is it reliable?"
"Those who worship the gods all obey orders. I wield the Black Fiend Order, so there's nothing to worry about."
Sun Qiao'er said slowly.
"Great, tonight, let's pull off a big one."
Ding Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile.
