The night in Tanzhou is beautiful, with stars twinkling in the sky and reflecting the bustling crowds on the ground, adding a touch of tranquility compared to the day.
The two of them strolled on the street, Youyang was curious about everything as always, and they walked and walked freely.
Suddenly a woman jumped out from the corner of the street.
This woman was covered in injuries and was in an extremely embarrassed state.
Li Ke subconsciously grasped Youyou's hand tightly.
"Help, help," the woman cried while running, followed by five or six men with sticks in their hands.
It was obvious that all the injuries on the woman's body were caused by them.
"Your Highness, let's save her."
Youyang couldn't bear to see this scene, so she begged Li Ke for help.
Li Ke was obviously more rational than Youyang.
He quickly judged whether the matter was true or false.
If this was a play staged by others, then he had fallen into a trap.
Fortunately for him, he said that at the very least he could escape unscathed, but the situation was different now and he couldn't let Youyang fall into danger again.
"Your Highness, hurry up, that woman has already fallen to the ground.
If you don't take action, it will be too late."
Youyang was extremely anxious when he saw the woman being surrounded.
Li Ke stood up on his toes and jumped twice in a row to reach the woman's side.
With one kick, he knocked down the man who was waving a stick at the woman.
As soon as several people saw the nosy person, they ignored the woman on the ground and all attacked Li Ke.
Several people were approaching in a menacing manner, each with a tall and burly figure, which made Youyang break into a cold sweat and her heart jumped into her throat.
I saw Li Ke kicking several men in front of him with a whirlwind kick.
He turned around quickly and grabbed the neck of the man who was attacking from behind.
"Uncle, have mercy on me," the choked man begged for mercy.
At this time, a man who had been kicked to the ground quickly stood up, with a sharp knife in his hand.
There was a fierce light in his eyes, as if he wanted to disembowel the opponent.
Li Ke quickly let go of the man's neck, turned around and kicked the knife-wielding man in the chest, and grabbed the man's arm.
The sharp knife in the man's hand fell with a loud sound, and the sound of broken bones was very clear.
Seeing that they were no match for the visitor, several men had no choice but to leave the woman behind and run away.
When Youyang saw the enemy running away, he quickly ran to the woman, helped her up and asked.
"Girl, how are you?"
"Thank you, Mr. and Miss, for saving me.
My little girl will be fine."
The woman choked with sobs, and then she knelt down to kowtow to Youyang and Li Ke.
Youyang hurriedly stopped and said.
"If you are injured, please don't move around where your home is.
Why do they want to arrest you?"
"My home is not here, I am trapped," the woman said and started to cry again.
Li Ke saw that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
He took a look at the woman and saw that she was indeed a little girl who did not understand martial arts, so he put down his guard.
"Bring her back first and discuss later."
Youyang helped the woman back to the inn, and Tong'er immediately greeted her.
"Princess, what happened?"
Youyang handed the woman to Tong'er, shook her tired and sore shoulders, and said.
"Tong'er, please take this girl to clean up, and then call the doctor to take a look at her."
"Your Highness, you went out without giving any instructions to your subordinates.

What should you do if there is danger?"
Lie Yan stepped forward and saw that both Li Ke and Li Ke were well before speaking.
Youyang saw that Lieyan was also a handsome guy, but his iceberg face had never changed for thousands of years.
She couldn't help but wonder why Li Ke's subordinates, all of whom were cold-blooded Tong Xue, were like this, and so was Lieyan.
Could it be that the personality of this subordinate also followed his master's?
?
She absolutely didn't dare to ask this question, so she had to joke.
"Handsome guy, don't you know that your highness is very good at boxing and kicking?"
Li Ke frowned, feeling a little unhappy when he saw Youyang openly teasing other men, and said coldly.
"You're all dirty.
Are you going to get dirty to death?"
Youyang took a look at her clothes.
There were dots of blood mixed with soil, which must have come from helping the woman earlier.
She had no words to refute, so she had to hold her tongue and return to the room.
When Youyang returned to the room, she originally wanted to take a bath, but Tong'er went to help, and the other maids were arranged to stay at another inn.
At this time, there was no one around her to fetch bath water.
It is said that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
It seems that there is some truth in this saying.
Since arriving in ancient times, she has become accustomed to being served by others, and people have become more and more lazy.
She simply gave up the idea of taking a bath and changed into a goose-yellow cigarette.
She walked out of the room in a silk skirt.
The room they lived in belonged to the upper room, which was a separate two-story building in the backyard of the inn.
There was a square hall in the middle of the first floor, and all guest rooms on both sides and upstairs.
Today, this inn is reserved, so that only Youyou can move around freely.
If you stay in an ordinary inn, you have to be careful when leaving the room, how can you be so casual.
When Youyang arrived at the square hall, Li Ke sat on a chair and drank tea, while the housekeeper and Lie Yan were discussing something unknown.
At this time, Tong'er happened to come out supporting the woman.
When the woman saw Li Ke and Youyang, she knelt on the ground with a plop.
"The little girl Qiu Ju thanks the young master and young lady for their great kindness."
Seeing that Li Ke was still enjoying tea leisurely, Youyang had no choice but to ask the doubts in his heart in person.
"It's just a little effort, just who are those people and why are they chasing you?"
"Miss, I don't know.
They are all from Qingwan Building.
I ran away from Qingwan Building."
Qiu Ju said while crying.
There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.
The name of this place must be poetic.
How could such an evil person exist?
Youyang asked doubtfully.
"Where is Qingwan Building?"
Qiu Ju gritted her teeth and said.
"Qingwanlou is the largest brothel in Tanzhou."
"I am a peasant girl living in Xiangtan.
A month ago, my mother and I went shopping for groceries.
Suddenly a carriage rushed out of the street.

Unfortunately, my mother was knocked to the ground.
I didn't know at the time that the carriage belonged to the Liang family.
So I wanted to reason, but the beast from the Liang family had evil intentions for me and ordered the servants to force me into the carriage.
No one on the street dared to stop me.
I could only be pressed on the carriage and look at my mother who fell on the ground.
You are getting farther and farther away from me."
Qiu Ju couldn't help but cry.
Youyang asked again.
"Then how did you come to Tanzhou and how did you end up at Qingwan Tower?"
Qiu Ju picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears before saying.
"That beast is from Tanzhou.
I followed the carriage to Tanzhou.
After being insulted by the beast, I was rewarded with an entourage.
I was beaten half to death by them.
If I didn't miss my mother in my heart, I would have killed myself.
Later they So he sold me to Qingwan Building.
The madam there saw that I was injured but didn't force him to pick up the guests.
There was always someone guarding me.
I escaped, but when I was discovered, I was beaten again.
I knew that if I didn't find another way, I might not be able to get out until I died.
I pretended to obey them after I recovered, and took advantage of them today.
Without any precautions, I stabbed the guest with scissors when he was scornful of me.
I ran out of Qingwan Building and met the lady."
Qiu Ju was already crying, and Tong'er also started crying together.
"Miss, she is so pitiful" Li Ke also put down the tea cup in his hand at this time, and his beautiful eyebrows knitted together.
"Do you know where this person named Liang comes from?"
Qiu Ju wiped her tears and replied.
"Qiu Ju inquired when she was at Qingwan Tower.
He was the son of the prefect of Tanzhou.
Everyone was afraid of Prefect Liang, so no one dared to stop him."
"It's the prefect again," Youyang exclaimed.
Qiu Ju said hurriedly.
"Miss Young Master, you can save Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju is very grateful.
It is said that the Liang magistrate is a powerful official and has relatives in the court.
Ordinary officials cannot touch him.
The benefactor must not anger him because of Qiu Ju." ” "It's getting late, Tong'er takes her to rest."
Li Ke ordered.
Qiu Ju kowtowed again before following Tong'er back to the room.
Li Ke ordered after the two left.
"Notify Tanzhou officials that I have arrived in Tanzhou early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Highness":
