From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The situation deteriorated faster than expected. When a city loses order, all evil will be infinitely expanded. A large number of people have joined the mob and turned from victims to perpetrators.

Zhou Yuan didn't know about other places, but through the cracks in the window, he looked outside and saw that the whole street had become a hell, with corpses covering the ground and blood staining the streets red.

The screams of women kept coming, the crying of children, the cries of the elderly, everything hit Zhou Yuan and Qu Ling's nerves.

What made them even more nervous was that the door downstairs was constantly being hacked and hit, and even the bookshelves and cabinets couldn't hold up and were forcibly demolished.

A large number of mobs rushed in and began to search for silver and valuable items, and there was a lot of noise below.

Qu Ling's teeth were trembling, and he murmured: "What should I do? What should I do!"

The old shopkeeper suddenly said: "Secret room! There is a secret room on the second floor! It is used to store silver and important book manuscripts. They shouldn't be able to find it!"

What's the point of talking about that! Damn it!

Zhou Yuan said directly: "Open it quickly, let's hide in it!"

"But there is no food or water inside, we can't hide for too long!"

"Bullshit, why bother with that now!"

After being scolded by Zhou Yuan, the old shopkeeper hurriedly opened the secret room. It was indeed very hidden, just behind the antique shelf on the wall, covered by two curtains. If you don't look carefully, you can't find the cracks on the wall at all.

Including the shopkeeper and the clerk, a total of seven people hurriedly hid in the narrow secret room.

It was pitch black inside, and no one dared to turn on the lights. The silence was so frightening.

And footsteps were heard outside. The mob went upstairs and began to plunder property.

"It's women's clothes!"

"Damn! They are so expensive! There are gold leaves on the waist!"

"It's a pity that she ran away, otherwise I really want to taste the taste of rich girls and see if they will scream when they do that!"

"Stop daydreaming, rich girls are your turn to enjoy? Our boss hasn't spoken yet!"

"After the boss has played, can't I play again!"

"Bullshit, the boss kills women directly after playing with them, how can you have a share!"

The laughter and scolding outside scared Qu Ling into shrinking in the corner, holding Zhou Yuan's arms tightly with both hands, shivering constantly.

If she was caught, she would rather die.

Zhou Yuan was not in the mood to comfort her, but held the sword tightly.

As long as the people outside found the secret room, he would kill them immediately and never let them spread the news.

But fortunately, after these people looted the money, they went out.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qu Ling also became weak, leaning on Zhou Yuan's shoulder, panting.

But the next moment, everyone held their breath.

Another person came up!

The same operation, looting money, but this time it was obviously not much to gain, and he left after a few angry curses.

In this way, four or five waves of people came within two hours, basically looting Mo Yun Zhai completely, and finally left.

"Gone! All gone!"

Qu Ling panted heavily, his whole body was sweaty, but his hands were extremely cold.

The old shopkeeper looked forward, and was immediately pressed on the shoulder by Zhou Yuan with a sword.

"Don't move, go out after dark, otherwise you will be finished if you meet someone."

It was a hot day, and the narrow secret room was hot and stuffy, which was really unbearable.

But Zhou Yuan did not allow him to be careless at this time.

But at this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the secret room.

"Miss, are you here?"

Qu Ling's figure trembled, and just as she was about to speak, Zhou Yuan covered her mouth directly.

This street has been occupied, and it is reasonable that there should be no women!

Qu Ling lowered her voice and said: "This is my maid Xiang Mo, trustworthy."

"Don't worry."

Zhou Yuan said, and then listened quietly.

The maid Xiang Mo outside continued: "Miss, are you here? I'm so scared, Miss!"

Her voice was full of tears, not to mention the panic. Seeing the mess in the house, she even cried out.

"Miss... If you are in trouble, I will not live, wuwu..."

Zhou Yuan whispered: "Where did she come back from?"

Qu Ling said: "Mingyue Street, where I came to live this time, maybe there was a riot, she was worried about me, so she came here to find me after the mob left."

"Zhou Yuan, she grew up with me, she is trustworthy."

Zhou Yuan remained silent.

A woman came from Mingyue Street, didn't she get discovered?

Just when I thought of this, I heard a sinister laugh from downstairs.

"I told you to just do it! Why did you follow me all the way here? Now you don't get anything!"

"I thought this bitch could lead me to the silver! I didn't expect she was just a slave!"

"Stop yelling, I can't help it anyway, I've been itching all the way."

Three thugs rushed up from downstairs, their faces full of ferociousness.

Xiang Mo screamed in fear and turned to flee, but the second floor was blocked and there was no way out.

She was caught in a dozen breaths and slapped with a few slaps, and the whole person was stunned.

"Ah! No! Help!"

The miserable screams came from outside, making everyone in the secret room tremble. This intuitive feeling is much more intense than on the street.

After all, the victim was only two feet away from everyone.

Qu Ling's tears suddenly burst out, she hugged Zhou Yuan's arm tightly, and was almost collapsed with fear.

Xiang Mo was her maid who was as close as a sister, but at this moment she was only afraid.

She was so afraid that she couldn't speak, and her head was full of screams.

"Let go of my hand."

Zhou Yuan's voice was very low, and people outside could definitely not hear it.

His voice was also firm, so firm that Qu Ling subconsciously let go.

Zhou Yuan held the sword tightly and stood up slowly.

He was not impulsive at the moment, but his heart was burning with blood.

A man standing in the world, seeing the woman next to him being humiliated and not daring to save her? That would be too much like an ant.

If it was so many mobs and so many victims before, Zhou Yuan would be powerless, and that would be fine.

At this moment, there are three mobs and one victim, why dare not save him!

If he sits back and watches all this, Zhou Yuan will look down on him!

As if he noticed Zhou Yuan's actions, Qu Ling couldn't help but tremble and said, "You, you want to go out?"

"I learned martial arts, not just for self-protection."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan jumped up! The internal force of Chunyang Wuji Gong has exploded! He suddenly kicked the wooden door and rushed over in an instant!

"Ah!"

The three mobs were taking advantage of Xiang Mo, and faced with the sudden Zhou Yuan, they screamed in fear.

Zhou Yuan's purpose was very clear. He slashed out with a sword and cut off a head.

He did not hesitate and pierced another mob with a sword.

The long sword was pulled out, blood gushed out, and the pungent smell made Zhou Yuan's blood boil.

"Ah!"

The blood dripped on Mo Xiang's face, and she screamed even more terrified.

The last mob had already fled to the corner of the wall, picked up his hoe and yelled: "Don't come over!"

Zhou Yuan did not speak, but took off his coat and threw it to Mo Xiang, whose clothes were torn.

Mo Xiang hugged her clothes tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a tall back, holding a bloody long sword, striding towards the mob.

The mob swung the hoe and smashed it, but Zhou Yuan easily dodged it and then killed him with a sword!

Mo Xiang screamed again.

At this moment, the old shopkeeper and several of his assistants rushed out with Qu Ling. Seeing the blood all over the floor, they were also scared and screamed.

Qu Ling exclaimed: "Zhou Yuan! What did you do!"

Zhou Yuan slowly turned his head, his face was splattered with blood, but his expression was extremely cold.

He wiped the blood off the sword with his clothes, and then said calmly: "Nothing, just killing people!"

"Don't move here! I'll go downstairs to see the situation!"

He strode downstairs, then his face became distorted, and he vomited while holding the wall.

It was the first time I killed someone, it was really disgusting!
