Chapter 323 Empty City Strategy
After entering the room, it was still cold and the few people seemed to have not lit a charcoal fire. But out of habit, Shen Shuyi still took off his cloak.
Yuping quickly reached out to take it, while Jinzhu went to make hot tea.
Shen Shuyi got straight to the point and looked at Jiuchou and said, "Help me rob someone. If we move quickly, she should still be here, but it may be too late. Then you need to take people to investigate."
Jiuchou looked at the map in Shen Shuyi's hand and saw her slender and beautiful fingers pointing out a location.
"I'll go now." After seeing clearly, he said decisively.
Shen Shuyi asked Jianpo to hand over the prepared clothes to Jiuchou, and instructed: "The other party must have set an ambush. In addition to the ordinary guards, there should be a master with a sturdy body and a rough appearance. If you meet this person, you must be careful."
Shen Shuyi was not sure who was watching Huang Ying.
Wenren Zong and Mengkuo are two masters under Xiao Tingshan. However, Wenren Zong mostly follows Xiao Tingshan, doing some secret things and protecting his safety at the same time, while Mengkuo is given a position in the army, so he cannot leave Beijing easily.
"Okay." Jiuchou wrote down Shen Shuyi's words.
After the group had changed their clothes, Shen Shuyi asked Jiang Li's men to come and pick them up. After all, it was Jiang Li's men who had been keeping an eye on Huang Ying's movements.
Shen Shuyi sent a few people to the door, his eyes deep.
Jiuchou's injuries have not healed yet and he needs some time to recuperate. But now, she has not been able to find a suitable weapon for him.
It looks like it's time to go to the pawn shop.
"If you can't win, put your own safety first." Shen Shuyi spoke softly, his eyes falling on the young man's face.
Jiuchou was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Shen Shuyi looked at them and said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Half an hour ago, Wenren Zong also received news from his subordinates.
"Sir, our people failed. Huang Ying's parents were kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown now."
Xiao Tingshan frowned, put his hands behind his back, and gently turned the pair of white jade walnuts in his hands.
"Do you know who did this?"
Wenren Zong shook his head: "We haven't found out yet. We only know that the other party is a master. Except for those who retreated in time, all our people were killed there."
Xiao Tingshan said nothing, a layer of gloom covered his gentle and pale face.
No matter what, there must be no mistakes in this matter...
"Huang Ying can't stay." After a while, Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly. His gentle voice spoke words that were exceptionally cold.
Now that someone has noticed Huang Ying's identity, we must not leave any of her alive, otherwise we will be caught.
Nothing is more reliable than a dead person.
It's just that Liancheng is a little more troublesome, but finding a dead 'Lianqiao' is also a find.
"I'll send someone to do it." Wenren Zong responded.
"No hurry, I want to see who is trying to ruin my plans." Xiao Tingshan said softly, then he turned to look at Wenren Zong and whispered, "Go there in person and make sure to take care of Huang Ying's parents."
"Yes."
"Let Meng Kuo be on guard and play the empty city stratagem with them." Xiao Tingshan gently turned the white jade walnut in his hand, his mind gloomy.

Because it is winter, it gets dark very early.
Jiuchou and a few others rushed to the place given by Shen Shuyi and lay in wait.
This place looks like just an ordinary house, but because there are maids and guards coming in and out, it looks richer than an ordinary family.
Jiuchou brought a few people to observe outside for a while, and realized that there were not only these guards in the open, but also many people guarding in secret, and someone was always following them.
With such tight security, the person the young lady wanted to rob must still be there.
After Jiuchou made some simple arrangements, they took advantage of the dim sky and started to act.
Although several people had injuries to some extent, with the medicine prescribed by Shen Shuyi and a few days of careful rest, most of the damage was not serious.
After a while, the guards in the courtyard were knocked down.
Jiuchou ran straight to the most heavily guarded room, but as soon as he opened the door, a long knife chopped down on his head.
Jiuchou immediately raised his knife and carried it forward.
Meng Kuo narrowed his eyes and felt his palms numb from the shock. When he looked again, he found that the man was no less tall than him.
Before Meng Kuo could react, Jiu Chou attacked again.
Meng Kuo did not shy away and roared, "Let me see who you are!"
Jiuchou's expression remained unchanged, and the boy's voice was clear and crisp: "I am your father."
This lukewarm sentence aroused Meng Kuo's anger.
"Death!"
For a moment, the long swords of the two men made a sharp clanging sound. The long swords were both extremely powerful and when they collided, sparks flew, making the room as bright as day.
Meng Kuo was determined to win and never took newcomers into consideration.
But the more they fought, the more solemn his expression became. He felt that this man's swordsmanship was strange and extremely difficult to deal with!
There was no pattern to each of those moves, but they were able to suppress him severely.
Jiuchou was well prepared thanks to Shen Shuyi's reminder and did not underestimate the enemy at all.
Jiuchou's sword skills were developed by himself, but Mengkuo was a general who had been trained in the army for many years, so his experience was far superior to Jiuchou's.
But even so, the two were still fighting hard.
The more Meng Kuo fought, the more suffocated he felt, as if his chest was filled with anger. For some unknown reason, he felt that the thief's moves were extremely restraining to him.
Jiuchou looked calm and led the man to the inner room without making a sound.
Looking inside, there was no one in the inner room.
Seeing his intention, Meng Kuo said in a rough voice: "Oh, the young master has already anticipated your plan and has been waiting for you to come!"
Jiuchou's face darkened, and just as he was about to turn around, several arrows suddenly flew in from the window. The arrows were very sharp!
Jiu Chou rolled on the ground and barely avoided the attack, but the next moment, Meng Kuo's sword chopped down from the air with a fierce and domineering blade!
"Prepare to die, boy!" Meng Kuo's eyes were full of ferocity.
Jiuchou rolled on the ground to avoid it, but he couldn't dodge in time and the long sword pierced his shoulder.
Meng Kuo was not happy for long. The next moment, Jiu Chou turned sideways, switched the long sword to his left hand, and stabbed it in the opposite direction from the armpit, straight into Meng Kuo's abdomen.
The sound of swords sinking into flesh and blood was clear and sharp.
Meng Kuo was furious. He turned around and, ignoring the fact that his long sword was pulled out and blood was splattered everywhere, he jumped into the air, holding the sword in both hands and slashed straight at Jiu Chou.
This time, Jiu Chou did not hesitate to fight. He stepped on the low table on the side and broke out through the window.
Meng Kuo chased after them, but just as he left the courtyard, one of his men came forward to report, "Sir, the enemy was extremely cunning and broke our ambush. We only caught one person alive!"
Hearing this, Meng Kuo retracted his gaze and said in a rough voice: "One is enough, we don't have to worry about not being able to find out the truth during the investigation!"
After the group reunited, Jiuchou and Jiang Li's men came forward and said in a deep voice, "We have searched all the rooms, and the person the young lady is looking for is not inside."
The other party frowned: "But I haven't seen anyone leave in the past few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of Jiuchou's men covered his bleeding arm and whispered, "Chen Kong was captured and kept alive. I'm afraid he will betray Miss Shen..."
