Chapter 243: Another Sacrifice to the Five Gods

Shang Hongye walked out of the escort agency and came to the county government office along West Street.

On the gate of the county office, two dim lanterns shivered in the night wind...

The two yamen runners with swords at the door, both with their hands folded, dozing off...

According to the sect rules of Taiyi Sect, the county-level government office cannot be closed at night, and someone must be on duty.

Because the county-level government office is responsible for litigation, criminal cases, and money and grain, if there is an emergency, there must be a place to take care of it.

Unlike the prefectural level, the governor's office is in charge of money and grain, and the provincial governor's office is in charge of criminal cases...

Shang Hongye walked to the door and said, "Officer, I'm here to report a case! Someone was kidnapped in our escort agency."

The yamen runner who was dozing off raised his eyelids, glanced at Shang Hongye, and said, "Go inside to register."

Shang Hongye walked over the threshold and saw a somewhat tattered table not far from the door in the hall. A constable was sleeping on the table, and the drool from the corner of his mouth had wet his sleeves.

Shang Hongye went over and called twice before the constable woke up. He looked at Shang Hongye with sleepy eyes and said, "What are you doing?"

"Officer, I'm here to report a case."

The constable squinted his eyes, reached out and grabbed a notebook, and asked, "What case? Another dispute during the New Year?"

"No, my case is urgent. Someone from Yuanshun Escort Agency was kidnapped."

"Who was kidnapped?"

"Xiao Yu."

"Occupation?"

"Bodyguard of Yuanshun Escort Agency."

"You? Occupation?" The constable wrote, looked up at Shang Hongye, and asked.

"My name is Shang Hongye, and I'm a guard of Yuanshun Escort Agency."

The constable wrote while repeating, "The reporter, guard of Yuanshun Escort Agency, Shang Hongye."

"Okay, go back and wait for news." The constable put down his pen, closed the notebook, and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Sir, this is an urgent case..."

"What urgent case?" Shang Hongye was interrupted by the constable before he could finish his words. He said, "Our chief constable has gone to the provincial governor's office in the city to handle official business. We have to wait for him to come back to deal with any urgent cases."

"I have registered everything for you. Don't stand here anymore."

The constable obviously disliked Shang Hongye standing here and disturbing his sleep.

Shang Hongye had no choice but to sigh and walk out of the county government.

Every year at the end of the year, the chief constables of each county have to go to the provincial governor's office in the city to report the gains and losses of the year. Two days ago, Xie Daohan had taken Yang Zhen to Yuanyang Prefecture.

After Duan Rong left the escort agency, he walked through the alleys and courtyards in the night, and soon he stopped in front of a house.

This house is Luan Jingfu's home, not far from the escort agency.

Duan Rong stood in the shadow of a tree outside the courtyard. He suddenly released his spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no one inside, Duan Rong jumped into the courtyard.

On the way, he had been thinking about Luan Jingfu and Sun Huang going to Lin County together to escort.

Why did Luan Jingfu choose Sun Huang? Moreover, he had just gone out to escort in the afternoon, and Xiao Yu was kidnapped in the evening. In Duan Rong's view, this just shows that Xiao Yu's kidnapping is related to Luan Jingfu.

Duan Rong released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the courtyard. His figure was as hidden as a ghost.

Duan Rong just scanned several houses in the backyard, and his heart suddenly trembled.

Because, at this time, the spirit of the flying knife that he swallowed and stabbed Zhu Xiaoqi's shoulder had been digested, and he saw a back figure.

The figure was wearing a loose white shirt and looked very familiar. Duan Rong's eyes flickered in the night. He remembered the figure he saw when he swallowed Fang Jingbao's jade ring in Weiyangfang.

The two figures responded instantly.

"It's Wei Yutian!"

Duan Rong turned his body and jumped out of Luan Jingfu's courtyard. He used the Cloud Snake Step of the Minor Success Realm to the fullest extent. Only a residual shadow was seen, running wildly along the alley...

Duan Rong knew that every second he delayed, Xiao Yu might be in danger...

Wei Yutian held Xiao Yu captive and turned into his own courtyard in the dark night. As soon as he landed, he touched the ground with his toes and shot out like an arrow!

After all, he was a strong man in the True Qi Realm. Wei Yutian used his full strength to perform, and his speed was far faster than Duan Rong even if he held someone captive!

Wei Yutian's figure whistled, crossed the courtyard, and ran back to his bedroom.

Wei Yutian put the unconscious Xiao Yu on the bed, then tore off the black cloth on his face, panting heavily, he picked up the teacup on the table, and poured the remaining half of the tea into his throat.

Wei Yutian put down the teacup, turned around and took out a copper bell from the folded white shirt at the head of the bed, then he rang the copper bell in his hand, and the crisp bell sounded in the quiet courtyard.

After the bell rang for a few breaths, footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

Su Di walked in with a tired look on her face. She was obviously awakened by the ringing of the bell in her sleep.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

Su Di walked into the bedroom and saw Wei Yutian sitting in front of the carved wooden table in the bedroom. Su Di's heart skipped a beat, because Wei Yutian was wearing a black nightgown, and his forehead was slightly sweaty, obviously he had just returned from outside.

Wei Yutian glanced at Su Di and said, "Prepare for the ceremony. I will offer sacrifice to the Five Gods again tonight!"

Su Di was shocked.

Holding the ceremony for two consecutive nights to offer sacrifice to the Five Gods was something that had never happened before. Moreover, the offerings in the secret room had been used up. Even if they prepared the ritual items, what would the host use to offer sacrifice to the gods?

Xiao Yu was unconscious on the bed at this time, but the bed was covered with a veil and blocked by a screen, so Su Di could not see where she was standing.

Although Su Di had doubts in her heart, she never dared to say anything in front of Wei Yutian. She just squatted and said yes, then turned and left.

As soon as Su Di left, Wei Yutian looked at the screen. He knew that Xiao Yu was unconscious on the bed behind the screen.

Wei Yutian's heart was a little throbbing. He stood up and walked slowly into the screen.

Xiao Yu was wearing a light blue dress. She lay quietly on the bed, as if she was asleep.

Wei Yutian tossed all night, but he had never taken a good look at Xiao Yu. He lifted the veil and sat by the bed. His eyes were attracted by a magnet, staring at Xiao Yu's face.

Xiao Yu's white face was slightly flushed, and the tip of her nose was shining lightly, as if it was carved out of sheep fat. The red lips were like a delicate flower stamen blooming in the snow...

Wei Yutian's lower abdomen was filled with heat, and his eyes gradually became twisted and fierce from the initial clarity shocked by beauty, jumping with burning desire...

Wei Yutian gritted his teeth, shook his hand and walked out of the screen, standing in front of the carved wooden table, breathing a heavy breath. He would have pounced on it if he stayed for a moment...

The beast-like desire was devouring him bit by bit...

He was trapped by lust all his life.

Duan Rong's figure was as fast as a ghost, and he jumped into a small alley. In this alley, he had seen a tall white-walled house from a distance.

He knew that was Wei Yutian's mysterious house.

Since Duan Rong had the ability to project his spiritual consciousness, he would take time to go to the teahouse to drink some tea every once in a while, sitting on the second floor of the teahouse and looking at the street scene of Xiangu County.

At the same time, under the cover of his spiritual consciousness, he could hear all the conversations of the tea drinkers clearly.

Duan Rong relied on this to understand the public opinion in the entire county.

From these trivial information, Duan Rong already knew that the tall-walled house in Shihou Lane was a mysterious house of Wei Yutian, the owner of Weiyangfang.

He could almost predict that Wei Yutian would definitely kidnap Xiao Yu here!
