Xie Jingxi followed Zou Ling, but before they could leave the courtyard, they were blocked by a somewhat aged woman.

Xie Jingxi then gradually regained her senses, and thought about how she had bumped into her in the cloth farm, she vaguely guessed where she was. The way they dressed up was definitely not that of an ordinary woman, as if she had been brought into a brothel.

Zou Ling stood in front of her and coldly said, "What, you want to block my way too?"

The woman laughed softly. With a peculiar tone, she said, "Of course you wouldn't dare to go on her own path, but her path can't be so smooth. If I let her go just like that, there's no way the higher-ups can explain themselves."

"You don't need to worry about what I'm saying. I'll deal with it. Leaving her be is just a hidden danger. Do you think the ghosts you caught don't know about it? If they came looking for you, it wouldn't be just a word or two."

Hehe, don't blame me for taking advantage of my old age. When have you ever seen someone get rid of a hidden danger?

Zou Ling's voice was already filled with killing intent, "Don't say that I didn't remind you, if you let her go, we can still live a few more years. If you have that kind of thought, don't regret it when you accompany her to the grave.

The woman was unwilling, "It's fine to let it out, but we have to dig our eyeballs out. Our faces are all exposed now, aren't you afraid of leaving behind troubles?"

Xie Jingxi wanted to be a blind deaf person or something like that, if she listened to any more secrets, she would probably be silenced. This woman was deliberately stalling for time, she did not know why, but she could feel the killing intent from Zou Ling's body.

"Fire! "It's on fire …"

It sounded as if the fire was not weak, and it did not take long for him to get to where he was to see the smoke and dust in the sky. The woman blocking his path had a ferocious and fearful expression on her face as she gave Zou Ling a fierce look, as if she was hesitating on whether or not she should go over to take a look.

Zou Ling said: You're still wasting time, aren't you afraid that your old nest will burn to ashes? Didn't I say it earlier, it's useless to stop me, you guys captured her, that's the real disaster. Since I'm still in the mood to help you guys, you should know what to do.

The lady gritted her teeth and left. Zou Ling looked around, then said to Xie Jingxi: "Mrs. Gu, I probably can't send you out, once you leave this courtyard, it will be their territory. To the south, there's a small door, you have to walk quickly, and when you are stopped by others, you have to run straight out, and then keep running towards the east, probably towards the direction of the Feng's.

Zou Ling gave her a key, "This is the key to the back door. Remember, don't ask about this place after leaving, just pretend you didn't come here."

Xie Jingxi tightly gripped the key, she didn't know what to feel. The most important thing was, she might not be able to escape, because her legs were still weak.

Zou Ling had just brought her out of the courtyard and they could already see a few people surrounding them from afar. The two courtyards were in the middle courtyard, and the one in front of them was the real backyard of the brothel, with rosy pink everywhere, the intensity of the fire in front was not small, as it was about to spread all the way here. There were occasionally some girls fleeing in the courtyard, and all in a chaotic manner.

"Don't hesitate, hurry up and run in the chaos." Zou Ling was the first to run towards those people. Taking advantage of the little amount of time she had, Xie Jingxi clenched her teeth and ran to the back door.

That small door didn't seem far. It ran as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers, and there were even girls blocking the way. They held all kinds of gold and silver in their arms, running as they picked them up …

In the chaos, Xie Jingxi cautiously looked around to see if there was anyone else looking at the small door. Suddenly, she noticed a glance, which quickly avoided her gaze when she looked at the door, and at the moment of life and death, she didn't have the time to look any further, but in a flash, the figure that she felt looked familiar.

Xie Jingxi's heart was thumping hard, her hands were shaking from trying to unlock the door, and it took her a few more times to finally place the key in the lock, but she had the feeling that if she was delayed any further, someone would stab her in the back, and after she ran out the door, how was she supposed to close the door from the outside? Just looking at the door, it was obvious that she could only see a door that could not be opened, and if anyone else saw her running out, with her current two legs, she would definitely be caught up to them.

However, she couldn't care less. She opened the door and ran out, trying her best to close it, then ran to the street without looking back, thinking to herself that she could run as far as she could, if she couldn't get out, then it would all be up to her. However, just as she was about ten steps away, she suddenly heard the sound of a door closing behind her.

Someone had actually closed the door for her!

Xie Jingxi's mind was in a mess, and many thoughts flashed past her mind. The one who closed the door was definitely not Zou Ling, so who could it be? Was it that girl from before? That girl, she was …

Could it be her?

"Madam? It really is Madam! " Zhao Zhang appeared on the street, and when he saw Xie Jingxi, he thought that he was seeing things, "Madam! "It's me, can you still walk?"

Zhao Zhang ran over to her and when Xie Jingxi came back to herself, she heaved a sigh of relief. His heart sank as he said, "I'm fine, Zhao Zhang.

It seems like he went in to find you. It's fine, I'll get someone to go in and notify him. You come with me first.

After all, they were not a family or two, and it would not be easy to find them. By the time he rushed over with his men, the fire had already started, and Gu Yun's heart had already sunk to the ground. He recalled the huge fire at the Quadruple Town, and was afraid that they were a step too late.

Gu Yun rushed into the brothel in the midst of the chaos. The fire was ignited all over the building, it was so hot that the beams of the houses were about to collapse, people could only run out, how could they hide in the houses, if they were careless, they would have to go in, and if they were careless, they would have to leave the houses, and if they were careless, he would have to hide in the streets, and if he was careless, he did not care, he was afraid that Xi was among the people running out, he did not want to miss it.

As he ran, he tried to recognize his face, but he had not been able to see Xi's figure. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and just as he was about to rush up the stairs that had been half burnt, he suddenly saw a woman jump down from the second floor.

In order to find the woman who brought Xi away, it could be said that Gu Yun had imprinted all of her characteristics into her mind. This caused her to see how she could still suppress the anger in her heart, and wanted to pull her when she came up.

But it was useless to not make a move, when the Lord Gu was burning with anger, the Emperor did not dare to act, so he quickly grabbed the woman's neck, "Speak, where did you hide her!"

The woman was ecstatic, but she was clearly not afraid of Gu Yun. She stubbornly said, "She, she probably disappeared long ago. If she enters our place, she better not think about it …"

He could not bear to hear that word. He had exhausted all of his remaining patience, and with a pinch on his hand, he broke her neck. Gu Yun threw her into the fire, and her body was instantly engulfed by the fire.

But with this delay, the fire became even hotter. Although there were many people on the streets holding buckets of water to extinguish the fire, it was just a cup of water with a burning fuel. Gu Yun thought that it must be human to be able to ignite such a bright fire in such a short period of time.

At this time, the roof beams had already started to collapse, and the doors to the backyard were already surrounded by fire. Gu Yun's entire body was burning with anxiety, but he still planned to charge into the backyard and take a look at it, and just as he was preparing to run, a ball of paper wrapped in oilcloth smashed onto his body. Gu Yun quickly looked in the direction of the ball of paper, but he did not see even a single person.

Gu Yun frowned as he quickly opened the paper ball to write: The man has already escaped, please leave, the words written on it are very unfamiliar, Gu Yun did not know the meaning behind it, to lure him away, or if Xi had truly escaped, but at the moment, he had no time to hesitate, Gu Yun looked in the direction once again, and decisively escaped.

When the people outside saw Gu Yun coming out, they all heaved a sigh of relief, "Master! Master Zhao took her to the Feng's, waiting for you to pass. "

After confirming that she was alright, Gu Yun's soul finally returned to her body. "Leave a few people here to keep watch. Gu Yun left the chaotic crowd and quickly ran towards the Feng's.

After returning to Feng's, after escaping from death, before she even managed to sit still, she was almost made deaf by Ming Yu's crying. Miss Ming Yu had received this kind of attack twice, and it was already too late for reason, so she just squatted at the entrance of Feng's and cried out, while those who did not know what happened might think that the shopkeeper was gone.

Everyone in the shop was embarrassed. It wasn't that they couldn't catch up, but that they had to endure the sound of someone crying, causing them to look at each other helplessly.

Hearing the voice, Feng Dong came over, calmly crossed his arms and looked at her, finding a place to cut in, "Miss Ming Yu, if you don't go in, your wife is going to leave."

"Caw …" Ming Yu took a deep breath, and looked up at him in confusion, "What did you say?"

"I am saying that Mrs. Gu intends to sell you, the price is already agreed upon with me."

"Bullshit!" Hearing that, Ming Yu immediately became angry, she stood up and grabbed Feng Dong's clothes, and started to make a ruckus, "Feng Dong, if you dare speak such nonsense, I won't forgive you …."

When Gu Yun rushed over, he was almost shocked by the situation in front of him. He thought to himself, could it be that there was something wrong with Xi, that caused him to go crazy?
