Quickly.
Bean-sized raindrops poured down.
Sun Wanggang had just climbed over the courtyard wall of the Ma Mansion, and the rain drenched him, instantly sobering him up a bit.
“Strange, how did I get here?”
He was about to leave.
But.
He suddenly felt a surge of malice.
“Good heavens, for the sake of your debauchery, this Ma Mansion has no maids or servants, and even the surrounding area has no neighbors!”
“What a clever trick, but I've still found you out.”
“Today, I'm going to catch you red-handed! Then, not only will you Wang Lin have to pay me hush money, but you'll also have to transfer your poetry and songs to me, so that I can also become a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.”
“As for Mrs. Ma… hehe, with the evidence in my hands, you can't refuse my demands!”
Thinking this.
Sun Wang walked towards the inner courtyard with unsteady steps.
At the same time.
A tall, imposing man, like a demon, stood under the wall with a broadsword on his shoulder and a special decorative armor for horses dragging behind him.
Crack.
Under the flashing lightning.
This man looked as terrifying as the demon king, Poxun.
He whistled.
The strange sound of the whistle echoed through the night.
But after waiting for a while.
He still didn't see the horse come out.
The demon's stiff face showed some confusion.
After waiting for a long time.
He finally couldn't help but climb over the wall.
He saw a man sneaking around in the stable.
He seemed to be attracted by something.
But then.
To the demon's fury.
The man was holding his wife's red undergarment, doing something obscene.
Seeing this scene.
The demon exploded in rage, his eyes bloodshot.
“Adulterer!!!”
The demon's voice echoed through the night like a muffled thunderclap.
Just as a bolt of lightning struck.
Sun Wang saw a demon king standing in front of him, his bowels turned to water in fear.
“Ghost!!”
He turned and ran.
The demon was about to chase after him and cleave Sun Wang in two.
The next second.
The drug effect took control of him.
The demon stood there foolishly, and after a moment, he took his ferocious horse armor and picked out a good horse in the courtyard, dressing it up.
When he was done.
He mounted his broadsword and rode after Sun Wang.
…………
On the other side.
Not far from the East Market in Chang'an Wannian County, a pit had collapsed.
This pit led to the Ghost Market.
However.
The pit was too steep, like an abyss for ordinary people, impossible for ordinary people to get down.
Therefore.
The officials were not in a hurry to repair it for the time being.
But this was just convenient for Wang Lin.
Ordinary people couldn't get down, but that didn't mean that the Akhal-Teke horse couldn't.
But just then!
“Halt! Who dares to violate the curfew of my Great Tang in the night?!”
“Halt! Audacious!!”
Just as the Jinwu Guards enforcing the curfew were about to discover Wang Lin.
The horse charged directly towards the pit.
With a few jumps on the perilous cliff, it finally landed safely on the ground, causing Mrs. Ma to scream in terror.
From this.
The Akhal-Teke horse was truly a worthy steed!
If it had been an ordinary horse, it would not have had the courage to jump down, and even if it had dared, with all the jolting, its hooves would have been broken long ago.
Only the Akhal-Teke horse could do it!
It was truly worthy of being called the Rolls-Royce of horses, the ultimate dream of every man.
And only after Wang Lin disappeared in Wannian County.
Did the Jinwu Guards arrive, all confused, as if they had seen a ghost.
Underground.
The Chang'an Ghost Market.
The Ghost Market was a deep underground cave world formed by a depression near the Xuan Du Guan temple in Chang'an city.
The Great Tang had a strict curfew, so homeless people and merchants who did business at night would gather here.
It had a characteristic, deserted during the day and bustling at night, the opposite of Chang'an.
After a long ride.
Tears and sweat were shed all the way.
Mrs. Ma was truly exhausted.
So she lay in Wang Lin's arms and fell fast asleep.
Her face was flushed.
It was seven parts pain, two parts comfort, and one part aftertaste.
On the way.
Wang Lin randomly found a mask stall and bought a men's half-face mask and a women's full-face veil.
One reason for coming to the Ghost Market was to avoid the limelight.
On the other hand, it was also to find Fei Jishi, who lived near Xiāoyáo Yuán.
That's right!
The crisis was not over.
Precious time couldn't be wasted.
Just think about it.
Mrs. Ma and the Akhal-Teke horse alone could provide golden word strips.
Then Fei Jishi, known as the strongest healer in Tang Dynasty's spooky world.
What kind of word strips would he have?
If I could copy his word strips.
Wouldn't I be more confident in dealing with Ma Xiong?!
At least.
Word strips from a healer should be enough for self-preservation!
Thinking of this.
Wang Lin asked a passerby for directions and walked towards Xiāoyáo Yuán.
Finding Fei Jishi was difficult.
But waiting for him was easy, as everyone knew Fei Jishi loved chicken.
He went straight to a roast chicken stall.
He paid a tael of silver and chartered the whole stall.
Then he started fishing like Jiang Tai Gong, waiting for the willing to bite the hook.
As expected.
Not long after.
A disheveled middle-aged man with a red nose caught his eye.
The man was sneaking around, stealthily approaching.
Then, when he wasn't paying attention.
He grabbed two roast chickens.
And ran away.
Wang Lin frowned.
He dismounted immediately.
He caught up in three strides.
He grabbed the old man's wrist and twisted it hard: “Old man! You're stealing my roast chicken, right? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death here in the Ghost Market?!”
But at that moment.
He saw a red word strip on his head!
