《Guests Coming Again》


 C1

    He was always at a loss like this. He lived in a muddled state and lived in a hazy state.


    If he was not disturbed by the mortal world, how would he be able to make others worry?


    He ¡­ in the darkness, in a daze, dancing on the blade and sword, killing people without even being aware of it, killing people without even realizing it. When he made his move. You''re dead.


    Shunjin Manor, Grand Blessed Gate Restaurant. On the second day of the second month, the dragon looked up.


    It was noon, and the pedestrians were bustling with activity. The sounds of hawkers calling out to the customers could be heard, and people were streaming in and out of the city.


    "Hey, customer, don''t miss the passing food. How about some small dishes around us? Come to my Blessed Gate Inn and take a look, what about the meat and wine within the circumference? "Come and sit at my Blessed Gate Inn ¡­"


    The waiter of the inn whose business was not doing as he wished continuously called for the guests. The inn owner had said that as long as a guest was invited, the reward would be two cents. If ten people were recruited, wouldn''t that be twenty dollars? It was enough to cover two days of wages, first suffering, then sweetness. The waiter was still contemplating and shouting non-stop, all he wanted was one or two more people to enter the restaurant.


    "Hey!" Esteemed guest, please have a seat. You may serve me any dishes you wish, and immediately instruct the chef to cook them for you.


    Without saying much, he casually ordered two dishes.


    The waiter was very attentive and ready. Before long, another person came into the restaurant and welcomed them with a smile.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street as soldiers patrolled the area. Horseshoes clattered past and there was someone in the busy city who could not dodge them. The injured soldiers who were sitting on the ground cursed angrily, "The passersby quickly get out of the way. The criminal has not gone far yet, if the case is delayed, everyone will die. Get lost, get lost!" He raised the horsewhip and whipped. The man toppled to the ground, his flesh torn and blood dripping ¡­


    The peddlers each picked up an item that was scattered on the ground, while the local thugs took advantage of the chaos to take it. If they could take it, then take it, they would carry it in their pockets, they would carry it in their hands, and they would run away with everything they had, the scene was extremely chaotic.


    The sound of the horse''s hooves turned back into silence. There was only the sound of two or three hooves and everyone''s breathing.


    The official got off his horse and said loudly, "Everyone watch the man in the painting. When the magistrate is assassinated and this person is reported to the officials, he will be rewarded a hundred and sixty silver. He will be rewarded three thousand three hundred and thirty silver."


    After that, he got on the horse and left. His face was bitter and his mood was irritated.


    The crowd looked on and saw a person who looked like a gray shadow with a blurred face and blurry figure. How could they recognize him, and how could they accept the money, let alone capture him.


    Immediately, someone spat on the ground, "God damn it, keep us entertaining. Li Si, look and see if you know this person. Hahaha, 3,300 taels of silver. Do you want it or not?" "Hahaha!"


    A group of thin firewood peddlers said, "You pig killer, kill your pig properly, it has nothing to do with you!"


    Everyone burst into laughter as they whispered to each other. One of them said, "There is a gang in the martial arts world that only relies on assassinations to make a living. It can''t be that they were the culprits, right?"


    Another man said, "Hey, you know, that was what it used to be like to scare people in the martial arts world. Even the court was afraid of their own safety, and no one dared to make a sound, because when they saw that gang, everyone tried to avoid them, but they were killed because they wanted to get rid of them. Later on, the people of the martial arts world feared it, and the imperial court feared it, but the people of the eight great sects gathered, and in the end, Yang Yongyan, the general of the imperial court, led eight thousand soldiers to assist them in their annihilation.


    Another person laughed and said, "You poor scholar, you sure are knowledgeable. Tell me, what''s the name of that gang?" The one called the Elementary Scholar glared at him. "Do you really think I don''t know!?" "Isn''t that gang a famous killing ¡­" A person at the side hurriedly covered his mouth, but before he could say anything, he gave him a look. It turned out to be an official who had come again.


    The soldier shouted, "The prefecture lord has been assassinated, the entire city is covered in silk! Quickly disperse! Don''t be a nuisance to me!" "If someone is still here after fifteen minutes, don''t blame me for being merciless!"


    When that person mounted the horse, his body actually trembled a little. Sigh ~ It seems that I don''t have any way to become the city''s field officer. I just hope that the higher-ups won''t vent their anger on me ¡­


    Everyone was packing their belongings. Each of them had their own plans in mind. There were also some who were unwilling to part with the shop. They dragged their feet just to sell more goods. It seemed like someone''s business wasn''t doing well.


    The man let go of his hand, and the one called the Elementary Scholar breathed out and said softly, "F * ck, tyrannical government is at the head. We scholars are unable to make decisions for this chaotic world, and we are unable to speak about justice.


    Another person mocked, "Don''t be so righteous, don''t be so happy. Hurry up and put away the grass shoes you sold and let them go. Fuck, even if this prefecture lord dies we common people will not be at ease. Seriously ¡­"


    As each vendor left, the shops also went into a state of dismal business.


    The waiter at the Fu Men Inn looked at the bustling crowd of people and the smile on his face gradually froze. It seemed that he wasn''t very lucky today. He originally wanted to take advantage of the liveliness to earn more than ten silver coins, but his face was full of worry. Sigh ~, how long would it take for him to save up enough silver coins to go to the Apricot Flower Village as a matchmaker and marry a wife? At the moment, he felt a bit depressed...


    He put down two taels of wine and food and went out.


    Noticing the change in the waiter''s expression, he put down a few more coins and lightly patted the waiter''s shoulder as he walked out the door. He pointed to the table and saw that the waiter was overjoyed. "Thank you, esteemed guest, thank you, esteemed guest ¡­" He ran to the table and put a tael of silver into his pocket. His heart was overjoyed, and he felt that he could even get his hands on a married woman.


    He walked out of the hotel and followed the stream of people as they left. As he walked further and further away, he saw the portrait on the notice on the wall. He glanced at it and turned a deaf ear.


    After that, he would wash his clothes and hide his skills and reputation.


    Chapter II: Beginning.


    The spring wind in February was chilly, but it was already spring and everything was coming back to life. The grass on the side of the street gradually turned green. It was likely that another spring rain would soon break out.


    After leaving the city, he had chosen a place where no one could be seen to travel alone. He had performed his qinggong technique, jumping, dashing, and floating, moving like a fish, dashing like a hawk, dashing like a horse, and climbing like a monkey. He could travel seven to eight hundred miles within a day, and his Qi would last for a long time. His Qi was as deep as a deep pool of water for a hundred meters.


    After travelling for a few days, they arrived at a ferry. The ferry was sparsely populated and very few people had already ferried there for a living, but there were many fishermen fishing there for a living.


    If they came here in the autumn, or in the autumn of the year, there would be an endless stream of fishermen coming and going. It could be considered a lively scene, but since the day they were born, they had already arrived, and they rarely came here to play. Perhaps they did not come here even once. Occasionally, his master would just take him out to do some work. When I first went to the bazaar to buy supplies that year, it was the busiest bazaar. Now that he thought about it, this was probably the first time he was going out alone.


    After waiting for a while, he finally saw a passing fisherman. It was an old man in his seventies. He needed to cross the river, so he stepped forward, "Old sir, why are you still out fishing at this time of the year?" That old man might be old, but he didn''t respond. He raised his voice and said, "Old man, I want to go out to sea. I hope to purchase this fishing boat of yours to cross the river. What do you think?"


    The old man on the other side still did not respond. Helpless, he circulated his true energy and raised his voice again, "Old man, I want to cross the river and buy you a boat messenger. What do you think?" That old man finally heard it clearly, but he waved his hand, signaling that he wasn''t selling.


    As he thought about it, he decided to miss the opportunity to board the ship. However, he did not know how long he would have to wait. With that in mind, he hopped onto the boat.


    That old man was shocked. By that time, there would already be people standing beside him. The old man took a deep breath and said angrily: "Don''t tell me this kid wants to snatch it forcefully? "I have no one to rely on, so I might as well just die. If I am to try to steal it away, don''t blame me for having my life on the line."


    Hearing the old man say this, he quickly bowed and apologized, "Old man, I''m in a hurry to cross the river. Old man, I''m in a hurry to cross the river, you''re not selling this boat.


    The old man was still angry and hadn''t replied. He then clasped his hands and said, "Please do me a favor." When the old man saw this, his heart stirred. This young man was quite courteous. I have no children, and lived seventy years for nothing. So what if I helped him? She agreed to his words, but she was adamant that she would not accept it.


    Old man, just take it as an apology. Haha, I was actually scared of you just now." That old man was also a person with good face, "You can''t accept this money. There is a line of rules in this line. The one we mixed up is just a letter and a righteous word. I must take the money. You can take the rest." As he said that, he pushed the money back and said, "Hehe, did you scare me? Let me tell you, when I was young, I have seen a lot of things. Let alone your Qing Gong, I have even seen a bigger battle formation.


    "From what you''re saying, when you were young, you were also one of the best. Speak to me." The old man was lost in his thoughts. He thought about how he had been buried in the ground for a very long time. He remembered how his hair had been blown to dust and waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Forget it, forget it."


    He was afraid that no one would be able to inherit the lifeline of his sect. He only hated the fact that his knowledge was low, his martial arts attainment was shallow, and it was not enough to avenge his sect, it was not enough to make him unhappy, not enough to crush the entire martial world, and to seek justice for heaven and earth.


    He thought back to that year when that person had told him that as long as you wait for me here at Yan Qiandu, I will definitely safely protect the bloodline of my sect. After waiting for twenty years, that person had not come and he did not dare to leave. Thus, he settled down here to catch fish and catch nets and fish for a living.


    But now, there was nothing left for him. He himself was over seventy years old, and that person probably wouldn''t be able to wait any longer.


    As the old man thought about this, tears suddenly streamed down his face.


    "Old Lord, you ¡­"


    "I lost my composure. I lost my composure. I''m fine, I''m fine. I just recalled something from the past." The two of them no longer spoke.


    They did not speak for a long time. Seeing the old man''s sad attitude, they did not disturb him. In other words, he didn''t know how to comfort her.


    His master had once said that everyone bore his story. In his life, those who were unaware of the situation would make wild guesses and exhorts, and there were even those who did not care about the small and magnanimous lives of others. There were also those who did not understand ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Don''t blame him for his way of thinking, but there were some things that could not be laughed off. These were all nothing. What made people most angry was that even though they didn''t know your life, they still had to point fingers and point fingers. They clearly didn''t know your past and made wild comments. They clearly didn''t understand your goals, yet they still wantonly mocked you.


    At this moment, he did not know what the old man had experienced. Presumably, it was a sad story. I had never experienced his sadness, so how could I console him?


    As he thought about it, he started to miss that wretched old man from his own family who had forced him to train in martial arts, forced him to learn to kill, and forced him to learn to survive.


    He thought that such a ruthless person would not teach him any great principles, nor would he teach him how to read and write. Instead, he carried a holy book and often emphasized on kindness, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, gentleness, gentleness, filial piety, filial piety, being unsuitable for a long journey, and so on ¡­


    As he thought about it, he suddenly understood why he kept rushing back. It was because he felt uneasy when he went out alone for the first time, and also because he wanted to go home. The place where the old man had been was already like his own home. Only by going home would he be able to rest at ease.


    When the old man''s mood had calmed down, he joked, "At your age, you still like to cry. After I turn fourteen, I won''t have any more tears." The old man said angrily, "Child scoundrel, is crying nose the same as this?"


    He then saw an island appear in front of him. He jumped onto it and threw a silver ingot onto the bow of the boat, "This young lad thanks the Lord for his kindness in crossing the river. Since I have arrived, I will not accept this silver tael, haha." After he landed on the ground, he shouted towards the bow of the ship, "Although I don''t know what happened to you, old sir, please restrain your grief." His figure flashed as he flew towards the depths of the forest.


    The old man looked at the silver ingot on the bow of the boat and sighed with emotion. If the young lord didn''t die, he would be at his age by now.


    He came back alone with the boat, singing to himself, "Seeing the injustice of the world, for one word, kill." "Greedy officials, one word for killing, one word for killing, one word for killing, one word for killing ¡­"


    Everyone thinks that I have done all sorts of evil and bloody things, everyone thinks that I have killed all sorts of innocent people and massacred all kinds of living beings, everyone thinks that my killing aura is too strong, and that I am not on the right path ¡­


    How could the world know that I will kill the door, only the strong, the cruel officials, and the beasts, the pigs and dogs ¡­


    "Killing intent is too excessive,


    I offer my life for the death of my family.


    If ever there was a demon god that lived in the mortal world ¡­


    The demon god was also descending.


    "¡­"


    As he sang, he realized that the sky had turned dark and his clothes were wet with tears.

 C2

    The grass just sprouted, the pear flower did not rain, the spring soul has made the sky. The crystal curtain turned to who was hanging it, and the golden robe flew up onto the cherry tree.


    After saying goodbye to the old man, Cardinal Cheng headed into the depths of the forest. He was familiar with the light path, and would always find a way through the thistles and thorns. He felt that he was familiar with every single strand of grass and tree here, so he was able to walk extremely smoothly through the twisting and turning dense forest.


    It was as easy as a rich country gentleman walking through his own backyard. In fact, not only were there plants, there were also many animals. Some of them were even very dangerous. At the age of fourteen, he was bitten by a cobra in the jungle... I was chased by three Forest Wolves when I was 15 ¡­ Furthermore, I accidentally ate a poisonous fruit once ¡­ Now that I think about it, it was indeed not easy for me to grow to the prime of my life unscathed.


    Fortunately, there was no danger, and he was able to survive every danger zone.


    Just as he was thinking, the dense forest had already passed by, and a flat plain had appeared, along with a plot of land that had been reclaimed. Although there weren''t any crops, Cardinal knew that he was the owner of this land, and it was this land that supported him. The autumn equinox is early, the frost falls late, the dew seed wheat is at that time. Spring seed autumn harvest, to autumn is a field of golden wheat.


    He thought of his master''s smooth teaching, "Ploughing in January, building the foundation in February, planting the seedlings in March, planting the seedlings in April, offering the souls of the fields in May, cultivating the fields in June, getting pregnant in July, leaving the tassels in August, opening the sickles in September, entering the house in October, entering the dry valley in November." "Heh, why is it that December is missing for me alone? Why don''t I just sit at home for a month and wait until the first month of the next year?"


    After they walked a little further, they saw a small stream flowing along a mountain road. The water was clear and flowing. After drinking it, it was cool and refreshing. His body trembled and shivered.


    The stream was still sweet and delicious, as usual, except for the cold winter when the stream froze. At other times, the stream would flow incessantly, not knowing where it was headed, but it would always tirelessly move forward until it reached the sea, merging with the sea, or at the fork of the river, it would flow underground into the dark river. But no matter what, it did not stop.


    He remembered that his master had once expressed the same regret. As for the specific details, he couldn''t remember clearly. That was the first time he came to this stream, probably when he was eight years old. What did the master say? Hmm, it seems to be that the deceased are like a husband who doesn''t know where they are going. Hmm, it seems so.


    A few miles further on, they finally saw two houses. The houses were made of wood, and beside the houses were earthen walls that formed a fence. There was a courtyard surrounded by chickens in the yard.


    Before he even entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Teacher, I''m back!" A voice came from inside the room, "Why are you still acting like a child when you''re in your prime?"


    Although he was lecturing on the surface, he also felt a bit of unconcealable happiness in his heart, as well as some secret joy.


    In the past, they had always forced him to practice martial arts, forced him to learn etiquette, and threw him into the jungle to train his ability to survive. But it was all for his own good. Although he wasn''t his own son, he had long since become the son of many years of love. How could she not be happy when she saw that he had returned safely?


    Don''t you think, Master, that I''ve always been your baby?" "To think that the Cardinal would actually say such a thing so shamelessly." All day long, he had been slick with his words and had no face or sense of propriety. Just as he was about to say something to teach him a lesson, Cardinal had already surrendered, "I understand, I understand, even my ears can hear the calluses." Actually, his master was also a sharp tongued person with a perverted heart. "You little bastard, you ¡­


    He pushed the door open and entered the room. A white-haired old man with mottled hair entered his sight.


    Suddenly, he realized that when he was young, he was still young. Heroes were most afraid of being late and did not go out, so they were not alert. When he looked back, the hair on his temples had already turned white.


    Why hadn''t he previously discovered that his master was also getting older by the day?


    He stopped joking around and stopped joking around. He just murmured, "I''m back."


    The old man seemed not to have noticed as he continued on his own, "It''s good that you''re back. Let''s not talk anymore. It''s noon. Let''s eat." "Right."


    The two of them sat at a table and ate together like this. It was unknown how many times they ate together, but it was rare for them to look at the old man that accompanied them in the past.


    Only now, after going out for a while, when he came back again, did he realize that he had aged. As he grew up, he had changed from a strong young man to an old man with a trace of a weak aura. No matter how straight he used to be, his heroic spirit was nowhere to be seen. He was getting shorter and shorter. From when he was five years old, he felt like he was the height of the sky, but now ¡­ It seems, it seems, that I am already taller than him.


    From the time he first saw him display his Qing Gong when he was seven years old, he was now four hundred li away in one breath. How many miles could a teacher travel?


    So it turned out that he really was old.


    As he ate, he remained silent.


    The old man nonchalantly asked, "Have you finished your task of leaving this place?"


    "Ah, yes. Done. Done." Huai Cheng replied.


    "What? Did something bad happen on the way?" the old man asked.


    "No, no, no. "It went quite smoothly."


    "What are you thinking about? You''re not paying attention." "In a while, after dinner, tell me about your trip to the capital to complete the mission ¡­"


    "Mm. Alright."


    The old man continued to chat casually.


    But from time to time, Cardinal would peek at the old man''s face. Is Master getting old too fast? Why did it feel like they had parted ways for three years?


    "Alright, in a moment, I''ll explain it to you in detail. This time, I killed that Prefect with ease, and before the guards could even see my face, I was already in the middle of the army, fighting for the enemy''s head ¡­"


    The old man lightly knocked on his chopsticks. "Since ancient times, every proud soldier has to lose. Every mountain is higher than every mountain. Remember, once you lose your heart, you must not be proud. Once you lose it, your mentality will definitely inflate."


    Just as the old man was about to continue, Cardinal immediately interrupted him, "Hmm, actually, it wasn''t that simple. I had to expend a great deal of effort in order to get rid of him."


    The old man''s expression slightly changed, "What is the situation? Tell me in detail."


    "..."


    Huai Cheng also did not expect that, in the beginning, he would stop his master from lecturing, but who knew that his master would actually believe him. Actually, Master is great everywhere, but it''s a bit too realistic.


    "Ugh ¡­" "Master, you were actually the one who taught me well. In fact, it was really an easy task. I took the dog officer''s life the moment I started." Then he lowered his head and hurried to eat without looking up.


    The old man couldn''t help but laugh, as he''d noticed his intentions. This kid. Really ¡­


    At that moment, he stopped talking. He didn''t eat nor did he talk. It was also something she had taught him herself, so she didn''t know what to say anymore.


    He looked at his disciple who had lowered her head to eat, and looked at the infant that was once swaddled. Step by step, she turned into this energetic young man. You''ve finally grown up. Going out this time seemed pretty good, he should be able to take charge of his own business now.


    He had been thrown into the forest and bitten by a venomous snake. Luckily, he had made it in time and did not let Chen''er die. Otherwise, he might not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.


    Sometimes, I also wonder if I let Cheng carry too much burden, in truth, I shouldn''t have forced him to do this.


    Cardinal realized that his Master seemed to be looking at him, and he raised his head with a smile.


    When the old man saw this smile, he felt relieved.


    He had really grown up.


    I can rest easy now.


    I, Ye, can be considered as living up to Big Brother Yi''s promise back then.


    Cheng''er, you''ve grown up. It''s not like I can keep insisting. There are some things that I should find a chance to tell you.


    At a table, the master and student duo were immersed in their own thoughts.


    You''ve grown up...


    You''re getting old...

 C3

    Ye Yueming covered the ground with a silver sheen, but he remained awake. Little Xuan window, the wind rises melancholy, found a place, silent repose innumerable books, do not know the nameless list, sent the ideal, broke the soul.


    Ye Zichen laughed loudly as he walked out the door. Ren Xingyu Stage, Nine Steps Courtyard.


    The sheet was thin and the heat could not be dispelled, but it made people feel cold in their dreams. Sun Shan is my home. Success and fame, homecoming, toast, thanks to relatives and friends, do that mountain, even more Qingyun will.


    The Prefect of Shunjin Manor was in high spirits as he read the article he had written when he was young.


    He thought back to the poor scholar who had failed his first Imperial Examinations, and how he was now a prefecture lord. In a fertile land like Jiangnan, he had to get the wind and the rain, let alone a place like Shunjin Prefecture. Whether it was the Jade Linglong of the Western Regions, the Pearl of the East Sea, the Snow Lotus of Heavenly Mountain, or the Ginseng that could extend the life of the Changbai Mountains, all of these people needed to be sent to him personally by various means.


    However, not everything could be obtained.


    It was just like the girl he liked when he was young. No matter what, he would never be able to get her heart again.


    He still remembered that year when he was a poor Elementary Scholar, and he met that beautiful girl from a noble family. They were all young, and after a while, he fell in love with her.


    However, he had an inferiority complex. Because the imperial examinations had failed, he was able to make room for others and eat as much as he could.


    As for her, she was from a wealthy family, and she did not have to worry about food or clothing. She lived in luxurious clothing, and her servants were in groups. Her pursuers were like crucian carp that crossed the river.


    Actually, he was very talented, but he didn''t have any connections.


    Above the imperial court, within the gates." Except for the fact that he had just learned it, he was the best in the world. He was the best in the world. He was the best in the eyes of the public, and he explored flowers. However, who would easily be favored by the examiners?


    It was said that poor and poor Elementary Scholars were the least valuable. They could not do farm work, and did not have the means to do business. Scholars, if they could not read their books out loud, were also farmers who looked down on them the most.


    How can a scholar be so weak?" They were all of low quality, only able to read books. The book had a face like jade, the book had a gold house, the book had a thousand bells.


    He was depressed and didn''t know what to do. He wanted to confess to her whenever he had achieved success or fame. Who knew that just like that, it would be ten years, an earth-shattering ten years?


    He finally discovered that the one who wanted to take the title test was not him. It was his preparation.


    Virtue and morality, the spirit of a scholar, how much is it worth?


    Bowing and kneeling, flattering.


    In the end, he managed to become a Prefect. The biggest official in this area.


    He went to propose.


    Ten years had passed. Back then, she had been the daughter of a noble family. Now, she had already been married, but he did not care.


    He believed that together they were as they had always been, that they had indeed changed in a subtle way, that he had confessed to her, that she had abandoned her son to share her wealth with him, that she had refused to give in, that she was jealous, that he had killed his husband and children, and that in the end he had chosen to kill her.


    Near execution, she said, I remember you, but you have changed, become so horrible, become so cold-blooded.


    "No, no," he murmured. As long as you are willing to stay with me, I can give you my wealth and glory. Trembling, he tried to take her hand.


    She spat on his face, "Pui! Dogman, the common people, harm my husband. You deserve to die! "Damn it."


    He turned his head away, tears streaming down his face.


    Ten years, both of his hands were stained with the filth of a saint.


    Ten years. He had been thinking about how many schemes and tricks he could pull off.


    He had plotted to kill his own political enemies and was afraid that he would seek revenge in the future. Thus, he had cut off the roots and wiped out the entire family, leaving not even the chickens and dogs ¡­


    He watched as the essays and brushes dried up and calmed down his mind. He was about to leave the study.


    He heard a voice asking, "Are you that Prefect''s dog official, Yang Yongkang?"


    "You know that I''m a Prefect, yet you still dare to call out my name, slaying your entire clan." Prefect Yang said angrily.


    "Destroy our clan? "Hehe."


    The shadow flashed, his neck was cut open and blood gushed out, but he didn''t die immediately. Although his throat was sealed with blood, that didn''t mean that his throat was sealed with blood. Death was certain, but it delayed the time of death.


    "Following General Yang Yongyan to harm Zhongliang, is it not so? Stealing eighteen households for a commoner, is it not so? The first one was destroyed by you. Yes and no? "


    "When you are travelling, you took the head of someone because they were blocking your way, right? "In order to embezzle a hundred acres of fertile land, you put the landlord''s family into prison without any noise, tortured them until they handed over the land deed, and then killed them all, right?"


    Even the Prefect could hear the dozens of crimes, but he could not speak.


    Tears rolled down her cheeks.


    His vision turned black, and he was about to die.


    Now that he thought about it, he realized his evil deeds.


    It turned out that, without realizing it, he had already become an unforgivable person.


    That''s right. Ever since that year, he stole a civilian''s daughter. After that, he stole many more times. The higher the rank, the more he took them back. He couldn''t even let those passers-by who couldn''t dodge in time.


    I remember, it seems like that family has two young children ¡­


    His vision became even more blurry, and his thoughts became even more chaotic.


    His life flashed before his eyes.


    The number one of the seven-year-old child test was called a child prodigy.


    Seventeen years old, first place in the country test, becoming an Elementary Scholar.


    He should have saved the chaotic world with knowledge, but who knew that in the end, he was the one who made the chaotic world even more chaotic.


    After he failed his first exam.


    This is the first time I''ve met you outside of the White Horse Temple. He was accompanied by two maids. When he was done praying and leaving the house, he rubbed his shoulders and thought for the rest of his life. With a glance, he decided that he would definitely marry you in his lifetime.


    He would study hard for three years, and then take the Imperial examinations. When the High Scholar did not get involved, his essay was changed by the upper echelons. They actually sold it to him for the sake of the descendants of noble families.


    He went to ask for an explanation, got beaten up, and fell into the streets along with the beggars.


    The heaven and earth collapsed. Who would have thought that this was the way of the world? It seemed that it would be difficult to rise again in this lifetime.


    Heaven never bars one''s way. One is chosen by the car-riding generals. From then on, one becomes the accomplice of the tiger. Step by step, step by step, step by step.


    Therefore, he gave up his ancestral name and changed it to Yang Yongkang. However, he had forgotten the name of the Elementary Scholar from the past, Dan Yongkang.


    The amount of blood on his hands increased.


    Finally, the clan that sold my essays has been destroyed, not a single one is left alive! Not even chickens or dogs were spared! Kill them all!


    The notoriety is widespread, but I don''t care, my position is getting bigger and bigger...


    Tears welled up in his eyes.


    If I had told her, I would have liked you. That was great. Maybe she didn''t care about the gap between them.


    Maybe, I don''t need to be like this...


    Outside the White Horse Temple.


    "Heh, poor scholar, if my young miss passes by, why aren''t you getting out of the way?" Look, look, look, let them dig out your glasses. "


    "Aiyu, you''re acting this way again. Young Master, I''m sorry, but our maidservants are too immature. Please don''t be too fussy ¡­"


    "You ¡­ You called me Young Noble? "


    "That''s right, Young Master. Why don''t we go in and pay our respects together?"


    "Ah, ah. "Alright."


    Although he had kowtowed to Buddha, he might as well kowtow once more.


    Previously, you were the first person in the world to call me Young Noble, but in the end, I killed your entire family.


    Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha, good one, Dan Yongkang. "He deserved to die.


    Really, I really want to see you again. I really want to hear ''gongzi'' again ¡­


    Cardinal, counting the counts of his crimes, looked at him and confirmed that he had died. He rolled over the wall and tapped lightly. As he entered the city, he heard noises coming from behind. The sounds of horses galloping could be heard ¡­


    He stripped off his black clothes on a tall tree outside the city.


    He swaggered into Shunjin Manor.


    Seeing that the waiter was doing his best to attract customers, the Great Blessed Gate Inn, and the Blessed Gate Inn.


    He thought, "It''s only noon, I might as well rest here before I go."


    After a short pause, a waiter walked up to them and said, "Please come in, sir."

    The old man listened to the entire story of the assassination attempt on the prefectural government of Shunjin.


    He nodded slightly. His movements were crisp and clean. He didn''t shed any mud or water. It seemed like he had always remembered the principles that he had taught him. Lion Kick Rabbit also used his full strength. To be an assassin, to be an assassin, one had to be meticulous and quick in thinking, to be strict in his work and to carry out his assassination plan.


    If you mess up your mind and choose to face others face to face, you can be seen as giving up your roots and attacking the enemy for short periods of time. The result was completely different from what he had expected. He might even end up losing his life.


    As an assassin, one''s state of mind was the best.


    Strict work, meticulous second.


    The mind is active and agile, and the work is done in the third place without a care in the world.


    It was easy to say, but actually, it was extremely difficult to do all of these things. If there were a few mistakes in the plan, if the mindset had already collapsed, they would be followed by a series of mistakes. If you''re not sharp enough, if you''re not quick enough, one of you can lead to a fatal mistake.


    The meticulous implementation of this technique could eliminate a lot of unnecessary burdens and avoid unnecessary trouble.


    This time, when the Cardinal went to assassinate the Prefect, the Prefect''s estate had originally been guarded very strictly.


    However, no matter how strict the guards were, there would always be a loophole. Assassins needed to find this loophole and take advantage of it. This loophole would be the breakthrough point for things to happen, as well as a breakthrough point for strict defense.


    In order to assassinate him, he had actually arrived half a month ahead of schedule.


    When they arrived at Shunjin City, they found a small restaurant near the Prefect''s mansion. Go scout the terrain every day. In the middle of the night, he went to check out the structure of the Prefecture Residence.


    The prefectural manor of the Shunjin Prefecture was indeed worthy of being known as the largest local estate. The Prefect''s mansion had its own small garden, and the exquisite workmanship of the garden was astounding. There was also a small lake in the mansion, and a person''s mansion took up approximately a thousand acres of land.


    There are land dragons to warm up in winter. As for the poor families, some might not even be able to burn firewood.


    There was a north front gate and a west east side gate. There were always people inside the manor. There were guards patrolling the manor at night. He was constantly patrolling during the day. However, they were not the same people. Presumably, one team was responsible for the day and the other for the night.


    The Cardinal did not necessarily leave during the day. He climbed up to the roof during the day to check on the patrolling patterns of the people on duty during the day. Every pavilion had two people patrolling it about a quarter of an hour.


    There were advantages and disadvantages to occupying a wide area. It took up a huge amount of land, so there was bound to be an oversight in the patrol.


    Within 15 days, Cardinal arrived at the mansion. He observed the place day and night and began to draw a simple map on a piece of paper.


    Observe the movements of the butler.


    Observe the watch pattern of the patrol, the intervals of the patrol.


    Ten nights of preparation.


    They finally found their pattern.


    He drew up a route and practiced it twice.


    Every day during the day, he would bitterly watch the Prefect''s movements.


    He finally found out about the prefect''s little hobby. That was reading.


    The Prefect would often go to his study to read. Normally, there wouldn''t be anyone in the study. It was because he enjoyed reading in peace and quiet, so he didn''t want anyone to disturb him.


    Perhaps there were other secrets hidden in the study.


    The fourteenth of January entered the city until the end of January.


    After a daily inspection, the inspection was conducted every night. From time to time, the inspection was conducted. Finally, the Cardinal decided to assassinate him in his study.


    February 1st.


    After a good night''s sleep, Cardinal bought a few cakes. With some apprehension, he prepared to make his move.


    Upon entering the mansion, he was extremely familiar with the route. It was as though he had entered his own courtyard. He estimated that there was still one more minute of patrolling time. He lurked behind the stone garden he had chosen earlier. The patrol had just passed and was flying up to the roof. His body was as light as a swallow, and he guessed that there would be a servant passing by. He lowered his body slightly, hiding the dead angle of the roof''s eaves. Even if he looked at the roof''s eaves, he might not be able to discover it, much less a servant who did not have any martial arts skills.


    In the study, he lifted the ceiling and hung it from the beam. Hibernate. Using the Turtle Aura Technique, one''s breathing would be at its lowest. If one wasn''t a martial arts expert, then no one would be able to discover that there was a person hiding on the beam.


    A thousand miles of dike was destroyed by an ant''s nest. The giant estate was filled with holes.


    Cardinal had chosen the safest and most conservative method. It could be said that it was a mantis stalking a cicada, or it could be said that it was just waiting for a rabbit.


    All he could be sure of was that the rabbit would come. This was because he had discovered the prefect''s habit of coming to the study every two days.


    After waiting for an entire day, the Prefect entered his study at noon the next day and began to take out some paper, grind it, and write. His chest was filled with a rich brocade, and his calligraphy was flawless.


    When he had just finished writing and placed his brush and ink on the table.


    Cardinal Cheng asked, "Are you the Prefect''s dog official, Yang Yongkang?"


    The man below replied, "You knew I was the Prefect, yet you still dared to call out my name. I''ll exterminate your entire clan."


    His body and mind flashed as his hand raised up and cut down the man''s throat. It was so fast that the man had no time to react and could only breath. The strength of the attack was just right.


    Then he began to ask, "Following General Yang Yongxin on the road is a crime, right? Stealing eighteen households for a commoner, is it not so? The first one was destroyed by you. Yes and no? "


    "When you are travelling, you took the head of someone because they were blocking your way, right? "In order to embezzle a hundred acres of fertile land, you put the landlord''s family into prison without any noise, tortured them until they handed over the land deed, and then killed them all, right?"


    He called his name before, and judging by his reaction, it was him. Although he was an assassin, he didn''t want to kill people unrelated to him.


    Now, reading his crime, seeing his tears, he was sure he had no doubt about it. A minute later he was dead.


    He first went to the city, had a meal, and then left the city leisurely.


    Cardinal explained to his master in detail how he had investigated, how he had arranged the situation, and how he had succeeded in his assassination attempt.


    The master slightly nodded, obviously satisfied with my treatment this time. Looking at his master''s appearance, his heart couldn''t help but leap with joy.


    His Master cleared his throat and said, "This time, you have done very well, but there are still some flaws. After killing someone, you should leave the scene as soon as possible, and you should omit the crime announcement, so it''s not very wise to call for help before the assassination. If a martial arts expert hears the voice, they will inevitably be on guard, and if your martial arts cannot defeat him, you will fail the assassination." His identity should be decided beforehand, and it would be best if he could see his face clearly on the beam and make a move. Furthermore, you left the city swiftly after the assassination, yet you still went to eat lunch and drink some wine before leaving? "


    Cardinal laughed, "Isn''t it because only the person involved in this assassination saw me? No one can testify against me anymore. "


    The old man nodded and said, "Everything needs to be done with caution. The more strict the situation, the fewer mistakes there will be. ¡­"


    Cardinal''s face was sincere as he replied, "Yes, I understand. I will definitely remember what Master said."


    The old man crossed his arms and said, "Come with me. You have already reached the top, but I did not give you a proper gift. This time, you have done very well. I think that since you have also grown up, I will pass it on to you."


    Then he walked to a cabinet that was filled with dust. There was a small box in the cabinet. It had not been opened for a long time and was a little rusty.


    The old man picked up the box, opened it and took out a box about twenty-five inches long.


    Angele opened the box and found a dagger inside. The black pattern on the scabbard didn''t have any patterns on it, it was just a few curved lines. However, he could still feel that chilling aura from the scabbard.


    "Master, this is ¡­?"


    "This is the Soul Absorbing Blade. From today onwards, he belongs to you. You need to use it well, don''t disgrace your famous blade. "


    Cardinal took the box.


    He gave a deep bow. "Yes!" This child will definitely live up to his name. "


    Many years ago, there was a slang in the martial arts world.


    Under the Soul Absorbing Blade, there were many departed souls. Ye Xing had killed a Saint with his surname of Ye.

 C5

    It had been more than a month since his return from the capital. Time flies, the dead are like this, not the day and night. In the blink of an eye, life in this world was just like twilight spring grass.


    As usual, the old man let the Cardinal practice inner strength, changing moves, and going into the forest to practice his ability to survive.


    The old man knew that he had already reached perfection, but he still wouldn''t let him rest.


    The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Dripping a rock through water is not a one-day achievement.


    This was because only by continuously practicing could he accumulate strength. Only by continuously accumulating strength could he accumulate it, allowing him to continuously practice. This was not to let him become stronger during this period of time, but to make him remember this feeling. The feeling of becoming stronger bit by bit was something he wouldn''t lie to you about. As long as he practiced, he would be able to exist.


    When facing an enemy, an extra breath of air could be an opportunity to win.


    But that was nothing. The most important thing was that he did not want him to see him get old.


    His time was running out.


    What he hoped more was that in the absence of himself, he would still be able to remember this kind of perseverance and steadfastness.


    Twenty years ago, he had exhausted all of his internal energy to heal his injuries and had to find many treasures in order to barely survive until now.


    But the time had still come.


    This time, the banquet was truly meant to be held.


    The old man found a high hilltop and sat down cross-legged.


    Normally, he would be here breathing heavily. His luck had passed all 365 meridians and 4 holes.


    Bright mind, tomorrow, the clear spleen and kidney, the bright wheel sea.


    Between the heaven and earth, one''s own body, one''s Qi and sound senses.


    With 32 days as a cycle, the cycle continued without end.

    On the 30th, the sun shone in the sky


    The Thirty-first Day of the Vast Expanse.


    Thirty-second Day


    After the 32nd cycle, his internal energy had increased. The highest realm was the Four Devils, and once internal energy reached the Four Devils, there would be no one that could surpass it. After cultivating to the Colourless World for four days, there were very few people in the world who were capable of carrying the weight of their hands. They were not the best in the world, but they were definitely not lower than Number Three Under Heaven.


    Even in the 18 Layered Heavens realm, one could still be considered a first rank Grandmaster and was enough to establish a sect ¡­


    However, today was not the day to cultivate.


    He just wanted to take a look at the scenery again.


    The scenery that he had not paid close attention to for twenty years was soon to be lost.


    On an island, there was only the Master and disciple.


    With a word of promise, twenty years had gone by without a care for their own safety.


    Twenty-one years ago.


    Within the sect, "Brother Yi, from today onwards, I will no longer be a member of the sect that kills people. "Let the name of the Night Slaughter Saint drown in the dust."


    "Brother Ye, are you really going?" "Who in the martial world wouldn''t tremble when we kill all three of them? As long as we have the help of a lord, we can change the way of the world!"


    "Using the way of murder to save the world?"


    "Isn''t this the purpose of our life as gatekeepers? "To kill the evildoer of a nation, to kill the heinous and to kill those who commit heinous acts, and to kill those who commit heinous acts."


    "I have been slaughtering my family for more than seven years. I have killed all the corrupt officials and scum of the martial arts world, but after I kill one, there will still be another. After I kill a group, there will still be another group. From today onwards, I will study the Four Books and Five Scriptures, see righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom, and search for the Dao of Kong and Meng. Perhaps, when we kill, we also kill ourselves. I think depriving a man of his life has become insignificant, like slaughtering a dog. "


    "¡­"


    There was a long silence.


    "Since you have made up your mind, from now on, Ye Bufan will no longer be my disciple!" However, I, Yi Tian Mo, have always been looking forward to the reunion of his brother, Ye Bufan. "


    The two of them hugged deeply.


    "I''ll wait for you. I''ll wait for you to come back. When we get together and drink, we won''t leave until we''re drunk."


    "Yes, I won''t return until I''m drunk."


    He lightly wiped his face. Why was there a sandstorm in the room?


    One year later.


    The blood-soaked Yi Tian Mo found a place to hide, "Seventh Uncle, we have met with such a calamity this time. Right now, there are only the two of us, as well as the elder brother and the rest, the grand and majestic Yi Tian Zang clan. If not, just the two of us will be here hiding, wait for me to come back! I will definitely preserve our sect''s bloodline. Prepare a fishing boat here, and we will set out to sea as soon as I arrive. "


    Seventh Uncle''s face was full of tears as he replied, "Okay, I''ll wait for you!" Then he said with a trembling voice, "Are you going to find Brother Ye now?"


    "That''s right, now that Brother Ye has left the sect, the eight great sects will not kill him completely, not to mention they want to kill all the saints in their generation. Without more than ten martial arts masters attacking him, it is impossible for them to succeed. I''ll be going now, wait for me to come back! "


    He then held the infant in his arms and quickly flew towards the north.


    The road was blocked from the continuous great battles, and they finally arrived at that residence.


    If it weren''t for the fact that after he left, his elder brother would still have been worried and had sent people to investigate this place. This time, it would have been difficult to find him.


    He knocked on the door hurriedly and saw someone opening the door. He cried, "Brother Ye, the door to death is gone! Killing the Door... "Gone."


    "Quickly tell me what happened. Where is Big Brother Yi? Ah Tu, how did you receive such a serious injury?"


    "The eight great sects have encircled and annihilated our sect, claiming that they are good at eliminating evil and removing poisonous tumors from the martial arts world. Even the imperial government had colluded with them. Actually, we should have known this a long time ago." As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. Then, he continued, "This is Big Brother''s orphan. Quickly bring him along and let him grow up to avenge us. Quickly leave!"


    He caught the baby.


    Yi Tian Xin turned around, "Promise me you''ll protect our sect''s blood." Promise me! "Promise me!"


    "Yes, I will."


    "Hahahaha, I am relieved to have your promise, so you all should hurry up and leave. I have some debts to settle with them! " With that, he turned around and flew back to the eight sects.


    "I am Di Xin! I killed Sheng YiTian!" Those who want to punish the world and eliminate evil can come! If the heavens and the earth are heartless, then I, the heartless dog of all living things, will kill everyone under the heavens, but I have to admit that I am guilty! "


    Yi Tian had used up all his energy to kill the dozens of surrounding corpses.


    Ye Bufan brought his elder brother with him as he fled from the pursuers all the way to the deserted island where he left his family to kill.


    After sitting for a long time, the sun had set in the west and the afterglow spread across the land.


    The setting sun was extremely beautiful, but it was almost dusk.


    Big brother Yi, I was lucky enough not to fail in my mission.


    The wine they gathered together could only be used on the Bridge of Helplessness, using Grandma Meng''s Elixir as a wine instead of wine. They wouldn''t be able to leave until they were drunk.


    En, you will not return until you are drunk. Also, ah, you will drink with us as well.


    My eyes are moist. In the next life, we''ll still be brothers. Un, don''t despise me for being pedantic. Heh, if you dare to despise me, don''t blame me for adding punches and kicks ¡­


    Thirty years ago, "Today, the three of us brothers do not wish to live on the same day for the same year, but we do hope to die on the same day in the same year and do not disappoint in life and death."


    That brother. This was his life.

 C6

    After another month, it was already April.


    He was really old. The old man felt that he was almost unable to suppress the internal injuries within his body.


    He didn''t know why, but he had recently come to a place where he usually trained to see the sunset. Sometimes he would wake up early to come here and wait for the morning sun to rise.


    Cardinal also discovered that something was wrong with his Master. The two of them had been together for a long time, and even if he didn''t say anything, they knew what he wanted to do. But this time, he did not know what his master was going to do. He was even thinking if he had done something wrong.


    In the past, when he made a mistake and didn''t dare to go home, he would always be at the door. He would first think of a set of excuses before going home.


    Sometimes, when his anger was gone, he would be able to escape once.


    Sometimes, even though he knew it was an excuse, he couldn''t be bothered to say it.


    Sometimes, you can be decisive and give a round of punishments, but not only that, you even have to ask what was wrong with you.


    This time, he actually wanted his Master to say something about whether or not he knew what he had done wrong. But Master was always silent and didn''t say anything. Just looking at his back, he always seemed so lonely.


    He decided that he had to get to the bottom of this today. If you are wrong, you need to get right. If there''s anyone who doesn''t like Master, then I''ll make him unhappy.


    When he arrived at the place where his master often trained, he saw the red afterglow of the setting sun sprinkling over his master''s body. His master''s entire body seemed to be hazy in the light of the setting sun, making one feel very warm.


    Just as he was about to say, "Master ¡­", he was about to do so. The old man waved at him, "Cheng''er, come over here, let us enjoy this scenery together. Cheng''er, let me ask you, when I forced you to train, do you think you are annoying? Ancient Man Yun: You don''t want to do anything to others. However, do not do what you wish. Tell me, do you think you like martial arts? "You''re not in a hurry, although it''s too late to ask, I really don''t know if it''s right or wrong to teach you martial arts."


    After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Master, I like those who practice martial arts. Although sometimes I feel that it''s a bit boring and sometimes I also feel that it''s a bit hard, but I don''t regret practicing martial arts. When I was seven years old and saw you walk on the water, I had already made up my mind to become a martial arts expert like you. "


    Ye Bufan smiled, "It''s good that you like to practice martial arts." Master has accepted a good disciple, I''m very happy. "


    "Master, don''t say it like that, it is my fortune to be able to meet a master like you. I have followed you for the rest of my life, and if you don''t understand, you will teach me. When I''m in trouble, Master, you will come and save me." As he spoke, he felt a little embarrassed. But in the end he added, "Really."


    After being bitten by a cobra, you rushed over, cut the snake in half with one slash, skinned it, and then took out the snake gall. Let me hold the snake gall first, then you can go find the star anise clove radish, evergreen, seven leaves a flower, and let me take it after you knead the herbs together. Your eyes are full of tears, and I know they were when you turned your head.


    Also, when you were chased by the jungle wolves that time, you ended up with half of the wolf''s lair in a fit of rage. They made me wolf coats.


    Truly, not only did you teach me how to read and write, you didn''t only teach me martial arts and inner force, you also gave me life. Without you, perhaps I would have died the moment I was bitten by a cobra.


    "Cheng''er, actually, Master has always been hiding something from you."


    "What is it? Please speak."


    "Actually ¡­ Ai, forget it. Go and get a jug of wine. Today, I''ll tell you everything."


    "Cardinal went to bring back a jug of wine." "Master."


    When Ye Bufan opened the bottle, the aroma of the wine wafted in the air.


    He took a swig of wine.


    "Actually, your name is not only Cardinal. Your surname is Yi, so your full name should be Yi Cardinal. I didn''t tell you, because I was the one who named you, and the reason why I didn''t tell you was really complicated ¡­ "


    Ye Bufan slowly told the story as he sipped his wine.


    Yi Tian, Yi Tian, Ye Bufan. After the three had become sworn brothers, they wholeheartedly wanted to be chivalrous.


    However, the three of them created a door of death with assassinations as the strongest method. It was known as the Three Saints of the Murder.


    It was easy to be born with the ability to kill saints.


    After Di Xin killed the Sage, Yi Tian exterminated.


    Ye Bufan, the one who killed the Sage at night.


    The actions of the three of them to eliminate violence and peace, the style of lifting the strong and supporting the weak, the heroic spirit of punishing corruption, and the spirit of loyalty that the three of them had to support each other.


    Their actions and charisma attracted many, many followers. Those in the martial arts world who had a few stains on their character would feel threatened. All the corrupt and bribe-takers in the temple were terrified by what they heard. For a moment, the world was at peace.


    This was because the sect was eyeing them covetously, and it was because they were afraid of overhearing the Soul Breaking Melody. It was a popular song that would cause the sect to commit suicide and be buried here.


    Seeing the injustice of the world, for one word, kill. The word ''kill'' was used to describe the corrupt officials. The word ''kill'' was used to describe the scum of the martial arts world. The word ''kill'' ¡­


    Everyone thinks that I have done all sorts of evil and bloody things, everyone thinks that I have killed all sorts of innocent people and massacred all kinds of living beings, everyone thinks that my killing aura is too strong, and that I am not on the right path ¡­


    How could the world know that I will kill the door, only the strong, the cruel officials, and the beasts, the pigs and dogs ¡­


    The killing intent was too excessive ¡­


    I offer my life for the death of my family.


    If ever there was a demon god that lived in the mortal world ¡­


    The demon god was also descending.


    "¡­"


    They were the law enforcers who had replaced the law enforcement of this world. Everyone was covered in blood, but no one was afraid of blood.


    As time passed, the hatred for the sect was skyrocketed in the martial world. Everyone in the temple wanted to get rid of him soon.


    The question was, who would be willing to use a killing knife?


    Who would be willing to do this?


    Therefore, in the eyes of the martial arts world, there was no such thing as a thorn in one''s side. All one wanted was to pull it out quickly.


    Therefore, one should not be stung by the meat in the temple, but rather choose quickly.


    Therefore, the eight great sects had joined hands and sent out a horseman general to lead an army of eight thousand. Chasing and cutting the grass at its roots.


    Yi Tian Sun brought his elder brother''s bloodline along with him as he fled. After killing more than ten experts a hundred miles away from the village of Willow Village, he died in exhaustion.


    In the end, the Gate of Death ceased to exist. The Three Saints, Five Saints, Seven Halls, and Seven Houses were all annihilated. The encirclement and annihilation lasted for a whole year.


    "And master is that Ye Xingfan who killed Sacred Ye Bufan. And you, are the only orphan from the clan of death. "


    "It''s not that master wants to force you to practice martial arts, it''s just because before your second uncle died, he wanted you to avenge him. I can''t go back on your Second Uncle''s request, but I don''t want you to learn martial arts because I just want you to live a normal life. "


    "However, I still taught you. I will teach you all of my martial arts. You will be the one to avenge your family, and your second uncle''s final wish."


    At the bottom of the wine jug, at the top of the moon.


    The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the old man named Feng Zhu''s face was covered in tears.


    A handsome youth was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say. The only thing he could do was stand there in shock, not knowing how to respond to the shockwave caused by the Heaven power information. The only thing he could do was stare in shock for a moment, then move on.


    The old man told the story.


    He looked up at the moon.


    The setting sun was extremely beautiful, but it was near dusk.


    As the sun set, a new morning sun rose.


    From now on, you will be the one to take back the justice for killing the sect. You will be the only one who can avenge the entire family.


    Cheng''er. My orders are not long, I am the last rays of the setting sun, and you are the new rising sun.

 C7

    Ye Bufan continued, "Cheng''er, in fact, I don''t have much time left. "Back then, in order to protect you when you left the city, there was a great battle with the Sword God of Mount Kunlun, which left you with hidden injuries. All those years, you continuously used your inner force to suppress that sword Qi.


    Before parting, he had never thought that he would lose another day.


    Cardinal was shocked. "Master, you ¡­"


    It turned out that in the past few days, his master had not become faster and faster because of his own misconception. Instead, it was because his master had truly aged.


    "Cheng''er, originally, I did not want to tell you, but now I have already told you the whole story. Master calculated that he should still have a month left to live. "


    "Master." Cardinal had already begun to cry, his voice tinged with a bit of sobs. The one closest to you tells you that he may soon die, and that grief is not something that can be expressed by shouting, nor can it be relieved by crying.


    "Cheng''er, you don''t have to be sad. Of all the people in the world, who has neither life nor death, and who doesn''t have an end? However, as a man born into the world, he was born with a three-foot-long sword. Dead, dead at the right place, dead in the dark. "Some died less than Hongmao, and some died more than Mount Tai."


    He was not a weak person. He said that when he was fourteen years old, he would no longer shed tears. It was also true.


    Ye Bufan continued, "Cheng''er, in fact, my life is more than enough. If I were to say that I wish for something, then I will not be able to cry out for the death of my sect." Her tone was desolate and desolate. She had already imagined leaving countless times, but when it really came time to leave, the reluctance in her heart was actually so strong.


    When Ye Bufan saw Cardinal Zhu Cheng''s tears, they started to flow even more violently.


    Ye Bufan said angrily: "Don''t cry! You''re crying, what a waste of time!"


    Silence.


    He relaxed his tone, "Cheng''er, look at that bright moon above us, do you know what the deceased were like? "Being alive is not about how many years you have lived, but about what you have done. I think I have experienced enough, but the only regret is that I haven''t been able to find a mistress to call you in this lifetime." As he said this, he reached out his hand to rub Cardinal Zhu''s head. It''s okay, it''s okay. I still have a month to live. We''ll stay a bit longer this month. "Come on, let''s go back for dinner."


    After thinking on the bed for an entire night, Cardinal finally understood what he had to carry.


    Eight great sects, I''ll definitely go back and visit them.


    In the imperial court, the mounted general was dead.


    I have already made up my mind. Even if the thorns in the road ahead are difficult, I will use all of my strength to fulfill my father''s last wish.


    He got up early and went up the mountain to catch a few pigeons. Then, he stewed a pot of delicious pigeon meat.


    "Teacher, time to get up and eat."


    The only thing he could do now was to watch his master grow old and weak.


    The master became thinner and thinner, as if he had contracted a serious illness. His aura became weaker and weaker.


    It was just that he wanted to do something for his Master. Perhaps this was the only thing he would do for Master in his entire life.


    If it were in the past, it would always be his Master tinkering with these things for him.


    He was a dignified saint slayer of his generation, yet he had truly become a housewife, a teacher, and at the same time, a true farmer. Sometimes, he would even go fishing in the sea.


    Even Cardinal Li couldn''t help but sigh. For his sake, what could he not do?


    "He''s here, he''s here. Cheng, the food you made, should taste pretty good."


    Killing Sacred Ye Bufan, his eyes brimming with a smile.


    Perhaps he was about to die, but he could see clearly now.


    "If Master likes it, that''s good."


    He ate a few mouthfuls.


    "Hmm, I''ll cook for myself in the future." Cheng''er, I appreciate your kindness. " Ye Bufan frowned and said.


    "Is it bad?"


    "You''ll know when you taste it."


    "..."


    In order to prepare a table of food, he had trained diligently for three days. However, training was much more difficult than learning to cook.


    Tranquil times are always fleeting.


    It was indeed hard to forget the difficult days.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already late April.


    April is a breezy April, April is the only cold, sunny May before the arrival of the only.


    On the bed lay a dried up corpse.


    Although he was not dead yet, he was on the verge of death.


    Seven days ago, the sword wound had flared up, and now that his internal organs had been injured, he could not even take a single bite. If he were to forcefully eat, he would vomit.


    They were all hanging on to their lives by a single breath.


    Being unable to eat anything, he could no longer be called haggard, nor could he be described as skinny and emaciated.


    All that was left of him was the skeleton, which was still covered with a layer of skin.


    Maybe it was because the killing industry was too heavy, and this was the punishment from the heavens. But why was it that some people could only live a better life if they did something evil? Fair?


    Actually, he was no longer in human form. He really wanted to die happily. However, he was no longer able to do so. Even if he could, he wanted to see his son one more time.


    Yes, a son, not an apprentice.


    In his heart, he had long since treated him as his son, not to mention his elder brother''s orphan. He was thinking of himself. Those words were not only said out loud. He also felt that he himself had said them in the first place.


    Actually, the ''Cardinal'' should have been called ''Yi Cardinal''.


    However, he truly could not deny that he had been selfish at that time, and very much wanted to name him Ye Luocheng.


    In the end, it wasn''t high or low. It wasn''t big brother Yi''s fault, nor was it mine.


    Thus, she called him Cardinal. Not having a single character was akin to deliberately concealing the truth, but it was also an act of selfishness.


    Before he died, he really wanted to hear him call him father. He might not have any hope in this life, and he wouldn''t be so shameless as to ask him to call him father. But I really want to hear it once.


    Cardinal had been inseparable from the day his master''s sword struck.


    Take care of the master''s food and drink.


    From time to time, he would channel his zhenqi into his master''s body, so as to lighten the burden on him.


    In fact, he had secretly cried several times already.


    Seeing her master throw up after eating, she felt her heart ache.


    Looking at his Master''s gradually thinning body, he felt his heart also become thinner, and then it was squeezed into his chest. It was very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.


    In fact, he cried once in front of his master, but when he cried, his master also cried with him.


    On the fourth day after his sword wound, he could no longer speak.


    But the Cardinal had always found signs of what he was up to, had always understood him, had made indistinct noises of yaksh.


    He said that he had let him down, that he had not accompanied him often when there was a chance, that he had not properly listened to his teachings, and that sometimes he was even mischievous and mischievous.


    Hearing these words, he tried his best to squeeze out a few words, "Cheng did not let anyone down, nor did he let me down."


    In this period of time, Cardinal Zhu Cheng had been thinking about what exactly did a person live for.


    Why did it exist?


    He silently cried in the room, lowering his voice. He was afraid that he would hear it, afraid that he would feel sad when he saw it.


    He was dead.


    Wow ," he finally dared to cry aloud, and he let his tears drip like rain.


    He made his heart ache like a knife.


    He had felt like he was his son from the start. If he wasn''t so serious, he would have already started calling him Ye.


    "Master ¡­ master ¡­ master ¡­ master ¡­"


    "Ah, ah, ah ¡­"


    He screamed his heart out, cried out his name, and wished that the sound could reach the heavens.


    The tree wants peace but the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but does not stay.


    There is no greater sorrow in life than this.

 C8

    Alone in a lonely island to guard a lonely grave for a year.


    She really wasn''t used to it.


    One person to eat, one person to train, and one person to sleep.


    He placed a pair of chopsticks on the table as if he was still there.


    It was as if he was still teaching her when she was training.


    When he slept, he felt a lack of calm and powerful breathing.


    He would often go to the place where his master cultivated, to see the morning sun and the setting sun. More importantly, it felt like his master was here. He was also looking at the setting sun, which was warm and bustling all over his body.


    But every time he went to that grave, he would silently cry.


    In the future, he would be alone, and his master would be dead.


    No one knows, no one cares what you feel, the whole world will never find him again.


    But in his whole world he was a trace of his existence.


    He thought back to what his master had said, "Cheng''er, don''t be sad. Everyone has died since ancient times. Your master already feels that it''s enough ¡­" Tears continued to flow. That''s right, your master thought it was enough. However, I don''t think it was enough time for us to get along.


    For a moment, a little lost, people live for what exactly?


    It was as if he had lost everything within the vast starry sky. Why have I come here, lost in my heart, to find my own relief? Where should I go? I should do something.


    After an unknown period of time.


    Finally one day, the bright moon shined its silver radiance on the stone as if it had thought things through.


    He mocked himself. When a person had already lost, the only thing they could do was to make themselves not forget.


    I''ve heard that every single person who has passed away will turn into a star in the sky. My dearest one, which one would you be? Are you still looking at me?


    It was also said that as long as there is one person in the world who remembers you, that person''s life will not end. He will live in the hearts of those who remember him, and my heart will live in yours.


    It''s just that I can''t see him, but that doesn''t mean I miss him.


    One year after his master''s death, another year, on the second of the second month.


    Cardinal started packing up his luggage, carrying a heart full of indignation, a heart full of sadness, and a heart full of passion.


    Farewell, my master.


    Farewell, my island.


    I''m here, my Jianghu.


    I''m here, a blood feud.


    I''m here, Sword God of Mount Kunlun.


    At the time of his master''s death, he had already decided that even if the eight great sects were not all to be exterminated, the Sword Gods of Mount Kunlun must die.


    Yan Qiandu laughed self-deprecatingly when he arrived here once again. "Old sir, I haven''t had any tears since I was fourteen years old."


    However, he did not know how many tears he had shed when he was sad.


    A man does not shed tears easily, but it is not to the point of sadness.


    He also did not meet that old man. If he did, he would apologize to him properly.


    He didn''t know where he was going, but he had only gone out once.


    It turned out that letting him travel once was also his own plan. He was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to adapt to this lifestyle and had prepared the ground for him. That mission had been treated as a form of practice in his eyes.


    Cardinal still chose to enter the Shun Jin Prefecture.


    Perhaps this is human nature, when faced with new things, always choose to be familiar with it.


    In the face of the vast martial arts world, this was the place where he himself had been before.


    Jiangnan had the Three Palaces, Shunjin, Lingzhou, and Jin Ming. The Three Palaces were known for being the wealthiest, the most convenient, and the ones with the most official connections.


    And there was an endless stream of people, all different kinds, and rich enough.


    Cardinal decided to come here to collect information before going to the eight great sects to seek revenge.


    It would be best if he could find the sect''s address. If he could get an extra map of the sect, even if it was a dragon''s lagoon or tiger''s lair, he would still dare to go through it. However, he knew that he couldn''t be reckless. He had to take things step by step, step by step. He couldn''t eat a fat person in a single bite, but he always wanted to choke to death from eating a fat person in one bite.


    He had gone to the city of Shunjin, and was worthy of being one of the three great prefectures of Jiangnan.


    Even if it wasn''t the market time, there would still be many people coming and going, not to mention that on the day when the dragon was raised and the market time was also the day when the market time was extremely packed. Some of them were hawking for a few coins just to earn a little bit of money.


    Amongst the bustling crowd, everyone was using their own way to survive because they could buy more things if they saved a little bit more, and they could do more things if they earned a little bit more.


    The world is over, the world is over.


    Cardinal was in a daze in the market when he saw a bun house, completely ignoring Steamed Bun. This name is very interesting, don''t, don''t, does that person know how to talk?


    "Boss, how much are you selling the steamed buns?" "Two taels of silver for three, and one tael for each." "Boss, why are you calling Steamed Bun ''ignoring Steamed Bun''?" En. Little brother, I''ll tell you the truth. This Steamed Bun doesn''t know much about Steamed Bun and he doesn''t have any stories.


    "..." He had three buns in his hands.


    "..." Boss, a good name. "Good name."


    "Heh, little brother, this bun must not be low in money. Two and three gold coins, the lowest price in the entire city."


    Huai Cheng rolled his eyes. Will I be short on money?


    Wherever I went after that, I ate my steamed bun with my head down and my mind elsewhere.


    "Guest, Great Blessed Gate Restaurant, Blessed Gate Inn. It is the most famous inn in all of the Jin Mansion, it can provide lodging, but it can also provide food. The wine and wine here are all of high class, century-old cellars, with a fair price and perfect decency."


    "Hey, Zhang Xiao''er, you''ve gotten another customer? Aren''t you afraid that the people from the other restaurants will say that you have done things against the rules? " One of the ruffians laughed and said.


    The waiter''s body trembled slightly.


    "Don''t worry about it, I''m only trying to earn a few coins. Has anyone ever said that I can''t recruit guests for restaurants?"


    That scoundrel frowned and said: "Sure, I won''t care, but won''t others care?"


    The waiter no longer answered.


    He pulled Cardinal Zhu Cheng into the restaurant and said, "Esteemed guest, this way please."


    Looking carefully, "Ah, so it''s you! Young master, do you still remember me? I''m a waiter from the Shunjin Estate. We''ve met before. "


    "You recognize me?" Cardinal asked in surprise.


    The waiter laughed, "Sir, you gave me a tael of silver last time."


    Cardinal Cheng came to a realization. So this was the case.


    The waiter laughed, "It doesn''t matter whether the guests remember or not. In fact, very few people can remember a small figure like us, so there''s no need to worry about it. In fact, we are already used to it.


    As he spoke, he swiftly cleaned up the table.


    He then shouted towards the counter, "The customer is here again. He''s a regular customer again, please welcome him well."


    Afterwards, the people at the counter and the waiter looked at each other, not saying a word.


    When the waiter called out these words, it meant that the guests at the table should be given some preferential treatment. This could also be considered as a method of the inn''s business; if one continued to recruit guests, the regular customers would return. The more customers returned, the better the restaurant''s business would become.


    The waiter brought a pot of tea, "This pot of tea was given by the shop, please take a seat. If you want to stay here, you can go to the counter and call for me, if you want to eat anything, just call for me, if you don''t want to eat anything, I''ll let you have some wine to quench your thirst, if there''s anything you need to tell me."


    As the waiter went out, his heart was filled with gloom.


    He secretly sighed, then took a deep breath and continued to entertain customers in front of the store.

 C9

    Cardinal sat in the shop for a while, eating buns. He was indeed thirsty, and drank a few mouthfuls of tea. It was true that he had no intention of going anywhere, nor did he have any destination. It would be better to just stay here and continue to make other plans.


    He went to the counter and paid for the room. Then another waiter came and took them up to the second floor. He chose a room near the window and stayed there.


    He was at a loss, a loss that he did not know what to do.


    He didn''t know what to do, but he sat down cross-legged on the bed and started cultivating.


    After cultivating for a few hours, there was a commotion downstairs. He opened the window and looked in the direction of the sound.


    It turned out to be a group of hooligans fighting. They carried the mindset of going to watch the show as they gently flew out from the window and squatted on the roof of a house. They fixed their eyes on the scene.


    A few hooligans surrounded him. It seemed like they were here for revenge.


    "Yao Wei, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don''t meddle in other people''s business. Scram quickly. The person we''re looking for isn''t you."


    The hoodlum called Yao Wei acted as if he didn''t hear anything and scratched his ears, "Why is there nothing going on between me and you? "Uncle is lying there comfortably. All of you servants have come over to disturb my rest. Are you saying that it has nothing to do with me?"


    "I advise you not to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. The person we are looking for is not you, but the waiter with the surname Zhang. If you continue to stop us, don''t blame us for being merciless."


    That person was still nonchalant, "What, our relationship is already good enough so how can we be afraid of hurting me to that extent? If you want to fight, then fight. If not, then scram.


    A bald head jumped out and kicked him in the stomach. "F * ck you, you son of a b * tch. I''m giving you face, yet you''re still giving it back. Beat it up for me." The few of them then began to fight with each other.


    Two fists is no match for four hands, not to mention one person fighting a dozen.


    After being beaten so badly by them, Yao Wei was already unable to stand steadily. However, he had also beaten up a few people on the opposite side. Their noses and faces were bruised, and they were barely supporting his body as he said, "Can''t you just let him go? There''s nothing wrong with earning a little more money. Can you give me some face? "


    "Damn it, you even beat us up, and you still want us to let him go? "F * ck you, do you think laozi has lost all his temper?" As he spoke, he punched again.


    "I''m begging you, just let him go."


    As he spoke, his body slid down the wall.


    The baldy kicked again, causing Yao Wei to go limp.


    He was still saying, "Let him go, let him go."


    After being punched in the back, he lost his temper and fainted on the spot.


    When a skinny monkey-like lackey passed by him, he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Fuck, this Yao Wei must have gone mad today. What kind of relationship does this surnamed Zhang have with him? He actually helped him to such an extent."


    "Motherf * cker, you don''t have to care about their relationship. This Yao Wei will fight every time we see him. Motherf * cker, how else are we going to deal with this Shunjin Manor from now on?" Another person added.


    "Stop talking, just finish the job and leave. Don''t mind so much, just take it with you if you have money." The person who asked Yao Wei the first question.


    That skinny monkey-like person kicked Yao Wei again and left while mumbling.


    Then, a few people walked into the Formless Gate Inn, and without saying a word, dragged the waiter out. Then, a few people directly knocked him to the ground, and in an instant, a dozen footprints appeared on his clothes. His clothes were kicked into the dust, and the footprints crisscrossed on his clothes; it was unknown just how many feet he had landed on them.


    Fists and feet came together, but he still said viciously: "Do you know what you did wrong? The mistake was that you were bewitched and helped to recruit business for this Formica Inn? Earn more money? Don''t you need to follow the rules to earn money when you go out! "


    The waiter was thin and frail, and even if he wanted to resist, it was useless. Moreover, he did not want to resist, because this was not the first time he had been beaten up.


    He jumped off the roof and gently kicked the bald man away. In the blink of an eye, he rescued the waiter from under everyone''s feet and held him up.


    The waiter didn''t have enough time to react. He didn''t know who saved him, so he hurriedly said, "They have a lot of people, but you can''t beat them. Hurry up and leave. Don''t worry about me.


    Just as he finished.


    He put him aside.


    He said to the group of hoodlums, "You guys have fought against one person for so long, why not fight with me for a bit?"


    "Fuck, what has it got to do with you? In this day and age, even a dog or a man would come out to be a hero and be a hero. If you see injustice on the road, pull out your sword and help me. I''ll pull out your mother! " Before he could rush in front of the Cardinal, he was directly pushed away by the Cardinal''s palm wind. Of the dozen or so people, not to mention hitting the Cardinal, they couldn''t even touch him.


    Seeing that the situation had gone awry, the lackeys knew that they had met a powerful opponent. They left behind a phrase that was commonly used in the martial arts world, "Damn it, just you wait. Let''s go!"


    After that, the dozen or so people scrambled to escape from the area.


    It was the bald man who said, "Big brother, why should we run?"


    The person Yao Wei was talking to patted his bald head, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can tell at a glance that he''s a martial arts expert. Are you still not f * cking running away, waiting for him to hit you and then do that hero saving the beauty?"


    The bald man said, "Isn''t that waiter a man ¡­"


    Ye Zichen slapped his forehead again, but this time, it was his. If it wasn''t for the fact that this baldy could hit him, he would have even shamed himself by taking him in as a lackey.


    For so many years as a gangster in such a big city, there had never been a murder case. The martial arts experts who wanted to be chivalrous and righteous had never cleaned up the city. They just wanted to learn how to see the wind and use the wind.


    As long as you know you can''t beat him, you just have to run. It''s not like you have a deep grudge against him. Besides, a martial arts expert would also care about his face.


    Just like that, the dozen men fled into the passageway and disappeared without a trace.


    The person who was talking to Yao Wei was also feeling dejected. Damn it, no matter how we report back, since the person had already beaten him, we must get this silver. Otherwise, how can we continue to muddle through in the future ¡­


    Only then did the waiter realize that he had saved his life. Just as he was about to open his mouth to thank the waiter, he heard the waiter say that he still had something to attend to and told him to wait a while.


    Cardinal walked straight to Yao Wei''s side, helped him up, and channeled zhenqi into his body.


    After stabilizing Yao Wei''s injuries, Yao Wei slowly woke up.


    Seeing Cardinal, he said, "You were the one who saved me? "Anyway, thank you."


    Then, he asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me everything in detail."


    Yao Wei glanced at the waiter, "Bro, this has nothing to do with you. Don''t meddle in other people''s business, this is not something you should do. If you want to stay here, then properly stay here, why do you have to meddle in other people''s business? Don''t ask me, I don''t know."


    Seeing that his tone was stiff and impolite, Cardinal did not want to ask any more questions. He turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, another voice came from behind, "No matter what, I, Yao Wei, thank you for saving me."


    The Cardinal did not even turn back as he walked in the direction of the inn.


    In fact, Cardinal was also hesitating on whether or not he should act to save her. However, after thinking for a moment about the reason for his actions, he decided to make his move.


    He wanted to be a hero like his master. He was a hero who saw injustice on the road, how could he not listen to evil?

 C10

    Cardinal walked over to the waiter and helped him up. He helped him into the shop and pulled out a chair for him to sit on.


    It was already dusk and there were basically no customers in the restaurant. Other than a few guests, there was no one else in sight.


    Only then did Cardinal open his mouth to ask, "What''s the matter? Can you tell me now?"


    The waiter hesitated for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether to say something.


    He sighed and waved his hand. Forget it.


    "Actually, it''s nothing. But, isn''t it true that I often gather guests at the entrance to the Formica Inn? And then the boss of the Gladys Inn thought I couldn''t do that and ruined their business, and then they used to hire a bunch of hoodlums to make trouble for me and make me rein myself in a little bit. "


    "How can there be such a rule?" Cardinal Cheng asked.


    "Yes, it is indeed like that. However, our Fortune Inn''s business is already rather poor. If we don''t have some business, we might not be able to continue." Although there was no such rule, there was a certain truth to it. "Maybe I really have to be polite?" the waiter sighed.


    "Sigh ~ It''s not that I don''t know the rules, I just want to earn more money. If it was for myself, I wouldn''t reveal myself every day for the sake of more money." As he spoke, the waiter was on the verge of tears.


    "The reason why I want to earn money is not because of anything else, but because the Xinghua Village Sister Xinghua is about to get married. Originally, we were in love and I was going to ask her for a marriage, but who knew that luck would make a fool of us. "I gave her three hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift. My parents agreed, but because of me, they begged her parents to let me take at least thirty taels of silver ¡­" The waiter choked with emotions as he spoke.


    "Originally, thirty taels is not a large amount. After a year of hard work, I have almost collected twenty taels." They were about to be able to propose. Who knew that, suddenly, the business of the Blessed Gate Inn became worse every day. When the appointed time arrived, they still could not bring out the thirty silver as a betrothal gift. "Sigh ¡­" As he spoke, he noticed that Chen Changsheng''s eyes were already filled with tears, but he resisted the urge to spill them.


    Cardinal Zhen took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him. "Take these ten taels." The waiter''s eyes filled with tears, "You absolutely cannot, esteemed guest. You absolutely cannot. How can I casually accept you 10 taels of silver?"


    "Take it. In order to let two people who love each other marry each other, what''s ten taels of silver worth?"


    The waiter began to shed tears, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir ¡­"


    Cardinal was about to leave when the waiter ran over, "I don''t know your name, but if there''s a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." I am willing to be your slave. "


    "It''s nothing. It''s just a small matter, so there''s no need to worry about it."


    However, the waiter insisted on asking clearly.


    So he gave him the name.


    In fact, even the Cardinal himself didn''t know whether he should say Yi Zhenzheng or Ye Chonglou.


    In any case, his master had called him Cardinal for twenty years.


    Why not omit a family name and call yourself Cardinal?


    Just as Cardinal was about to return to his room to rest, he suddenly thought of that scoundrel called Yao Wei and asked the waiter, "The scoundrel that spoke to you today, the two of you know each other?"


    The waiter was a little surprised, but he still subconsciously replied, "I do."


    Cardinal wanted to continue speaking, but after some thought, since no one was willing to speak, why should he ask? Thus, he returned to his room.


    After the delinquents had slipped away, they came to the Elegy Inn on the west side of the city. They went upstairs and entered a cubicle.


    "Boss, the matter has been settled. It''s about time for us to settle the bill." The delinquent leader said.


    A potbellied man laughed and said, "How is it, does the boy know the rules?"


    The delinquent leader laughed and said, "Haha, that''s for sure. Beat him until he cries for his mother and father, then hug his head and beg for mercy. He will definitely not dare to do this anymore in the future."


    Although he had beaten him, it was nothing serious. If he were to continue fighting, it would be unknown whether he would end up being beaten up to gain the chivalry. If he didn''t exaggerate, he would never ask for wages. He knew very well that every boss was a vampire that could get his hands on the wages of his employees.


    That stout old man laughed and said, "Since we have completed our task, we will naturally pay you. Don''t worry. However, we will still have to wait and see. If tomorrow, that person still hasn''t left his house to invite guests over before we can pay you the other half. "


    The delinquent leader thought, "This bastard, the boss is really better than the other. It seems like he can only get half of the salary. Forget it, I didn''t give him a good job. Let''s just follow his plan."


    After thinking about it, he said, "Sure, the boss is straightforward. If you need anything in the future, just tell me my name. I''ll definitely help." As he said this, he did not say his name, nor did he say his name.


    He took the silver and left the Pleiadian Inn. He sighed with emotion. This year, even those who had become hooligans would have to play tricks on others.


    The next morning, the waiter resigned from his job at the store. Since he had already saved up enough silver, he might as well go back and settle the engagement first. There was no time to lose, it would only change later.


    He rested for the night and felt that he should also go to the Elegant Luck Inn to have a look.


    There were many unwritten rules in this world, but most of them were unreasonable.


    Because you could endanger his interests, he would force a rule on you. There are unwritten rules between every line of business. Those who obey them will say that you are a sensible person, and those who don''t will find all kinds of ways to tell you that the rules were set by me. Challenge me is challenging the entire rules, challenging the entire rules, challenging the entire industry.


    How about you abide by the rules and settle the matter.


    How about I suppress you so that you won''t be able to survive in this industry.


    Seeing that the waiter had resigned, Cardinal didn''t want him to be grateful to him for his kindness any longer. It was also inappropriate for him to appear in front of the waiter again. He then quietly flew out.


    On the way, he saw that scoundrel called Yao Wei in the alley.


    After thinking for a moment, he said, "He said he would thank you."


    That scoundrel''s body was startled, and he started to tremble, and his voice also started to tremble, "Really? He said thank me? "


    When Cardinal saw this scene, his heart trembled. He nodded his head calmly.


    "Really."


    That ruffian''s face was covered in tears. "He said he thanked me, and he said he thanked me? "Hmm ¡­" Hahahaha! "Then, he leaned against the wall while laughing maniacally.


    Seeing this scene, the emperor was somewhat confused and was about to leave.


    That scoundrel said. Since this hero can defeat more than ten hoodlums, then I ask that you help me out with something. Then he knelt on the ground, "You can''t just help half of a person, send Buddha to the west, go to the Longmen Escort Office, and ask the young master of the Longmen Escort Office to give up on the idea of marrying the Xinghua Village''s Xinghua Sisters, alright?" "I''m begging you, I''m begging you. I, Yao Wei, kowtowed to you."


    As he spoke, he kowtowed three times. His forehead had turned blue, and if he were to kowtow even a few more times, he would turn from green to purple. He didn''t even need to look to know how much effort it had taken to kowtow.


    Cardinal immediately helped him up, though he didn''t know why this person would act like this for the sake of the waiter. However, he truly wanted to help the waiter, so he said, "That can be, but, I ¡­" Not yet.


    Yao Wei quickly said, "Benefactor, if there''s anything, just say it. I''ll definitely help you."


    "I, I don''t know the way to the Dragon Gate Escort Office."


    "..."


    "It''s fine, I know the way. As long as benefactor is willing to help, I''ll lead the way. Benefactor, follow me."


    "..."

 C11

    Cardinal followed Yao Wei to the entrance of the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    There was a pair of stone lions at the door. Between the stone lions was the big red door, and on the big red door were two wristbands shaped like a picture of a pepper. The pepper ring was the third son of Long Jiu Zi, who had a ferocious look and was responsible for guarding the door.


    "This is the place?" Zhu Cheng asked.


    Yao Wei said, "This is the place. Benefactor, how do you plan on doing this? This Dragon Gate Escort Office is very powerful and is ranked within the whole of Shunjin Manor. Don''t be reckless. If you provoke them, I don''t know if you''ll be able to get away with it."


    "It''s fine, leave it to me. We''re here to call someone else to end the engagement, and that doesn''t make any sense at all. I won''t act rashly, so if there''s really no need to negotiate, then let''s make a move."


    Yao Wei thought to himself, the Long Clan Escort Office is very powerful, but if they were to forcefully end the engagement, it might not necessarily be possible for them to agree to it.


    Knock, knock, knock. He knocked on the door of the Dragon Gate Escort Office. Two people in uniform came to open the door.


    "What do you two want? A dart or something. "


    "Darts, darts, the reason why I''m here this time is because of the escort."


    Yao Wei wondered in his heart, wasn''t he here to ask the young master of the Long Clan''s escort office to end the marriage? How did it become a matter of having to rely on a dart?


    The two men said, "Oh, so you are here to carry the darts. Please wait in the lobby for a moment, someone will come to discuss the details of the darts with you." As he said this, he led the two Cardinals into the Dragon Gate Escort Office, intending to bring them directly to the main hall.


    Cardinal continued to speak to the two of them, "I heard that the young sect master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office is extremely wise and extraordinary. I wonder if he can be called to inform me that I would like to meet with the young sect master and discuss the matter of the darts."


    The other two remained calm and collected. "Yes, yes, of course, I will definitely inform you." However, he was suspicious. Young Sect Master, this playboy can be considered a wise marshal?


    The two men sat in the main hall for a while before two of the maids came up to take a look at the tea. With the strength of the Dragon Gate Escort Office, it was easy to see that they were a leopard.


    A short while later, a short-haired woman entered the hall. She was dressed in a qipao, and her etiquette was refined. She had an extraordinary temperament and even though her appearance was average, her bearing was still impressive. She could be considered a beauty.


    He was neither humble nor haughty, neither hurried nor slow as he smiled and said, "Young Masters, you have come here to entrust your darts with the trust of my Longmen Escort Office. Although you do not know what you are looking for, I can promise you that as long as you entrust me with this mission, I will not fail you unless all of the escorts are killed."


    When Cardinal heard this explanation, the corners of his mouth slightly curled upwards.


    The short-haired woman frowned slightly, then relaxed again, so much so that it was hard to notice.


    The short-haired woman laughed, "May I ask what Young Noble has in mind? so that we can discuss the details again. "


    "This item is extraordinary. Ordinary people wouldn''t be able to get it, and only the Young Clan Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office is able to deliver it. The item is expensive and cannot be easily shown to others.


    The short-haired woman was slightly unhappy, "Young master, with your excuse, it''s not good to ask me to call Young Master over for you. Furthermore, I do not know if you have ill intentions, but there are many enemies in our Dragon Gate Escort Office, so please explain clearly what you are relying on. If you are sincere in taking me down, the Escort Office will naturally welcome you, and if you are not sincere in coming to take care of me, I am here to entertain you.


    Cardinal Cheng stood up and took a step forward, whispering in her ear, "Actually, I''m Young Sect Master''s friend. Last time, when the young Sect Master was drinking in the brothel, he left in a hurry.


    The short-haired woman''s face turned cold as she said, "Young Master, you better pay attention to your own words. Don''t spout such vulgar words and tease me."


    Cardinal was getting a bit anxious. Originally, he had wanted to borrow the dart to directly meet the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office. But now, not only did other people not believe what he had said, they even thought of him as someone who intentionally messed with the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    Cardinal Cheng suppressed the impatience in his heart. He mustn''t be too hasty. He had to figure it out slowly, first trick her with his words before making his plans. If it really wasn''t possible, then they could only make a ruckus. They didn''t believe that their young head, who had yet to appear and was causing a ruckus at the escort company, would exist in this world.


    He immediately changed the topic and snorted coldly, "Is this lady very familiar with your Young Clan Master? How many times have I seen Young Sect Master? May I ask if you know all of Young Sect Master''s friends? I had a dart to carry, and I wanted to see what the young sect master had returned to him. In any case, he''s still half a friend of mine, and a passerby wouldn''t be in the mood to pick up gold coins, not to mention something that belongs to a friend! "


    A speech in which one pretends to be harsh on the inside. The woman also felt a bit guilty. What if it really was Young Sect Master''s friend? She had indeed never seen Young Sect Master several times, so how could she be sure that what he said was not the truth.


    Seeing that she was silent, Cardinal knew that his gamble had been correct. If this woman was truly familiar with that Young Sect Master, then he would have exposed his true identity long ago.


    Cardinal Cheng immediately continued, "There''s no need for Miss to be so conflicted. If I, Young Sect Master, were to call Young Clan Master over and confront him in person, wouldn''t that be the end of it? What''s more, I want to carry a dart. If the Young Sect Master personally takes the dart for my friend and spreads the news, wouldn''t it kill two birds with one stone? Furthermore, if you don''t call him over, I won''t be able to carry the dart. " With that, he displayed an unreasonable and unreasonable attitude.


    After some thought, the short-haired woman felt that what he said made sense. He then agreed to Cardinal Zhu Cheng''s suggestion and said: "Alright, I''ll go call Young Clan Master over."


    However, he still had some doubts in his heart. He said that it was possible for the Young Clan Master to go to the brothel. However, this person had directly asked to see the Young Clan Master the moment he entered the door. If this really was the Young Clan Master''s friend, then it wasn''t impossible for him to meet the Young Clan Master once, but if it wasn''t, then what was his goal?


    Since he couldn''t figure out the reason, he decided not to think about it anymore. He walked out of the main hall, turned three corridors, and headed to the side rooms.


    It was already late in the morning, and the young sect leader had yet to wake up.


    The short-haired woman thought to herself, no wonder I don''t normally want to interact with him. Aside from drinking and eating meat, this Young Clan Master usually takes along a few servants to travel.


    And even he, a woman, was much more ambitious than him.


    Thinking about it, just now, that young master''s words were kind and scholarly, and his appearance was like a jade tree floating in the wind. Especially his eyelashes, they were very good-looking, curling up and curling up, and even he was ashamed of himself as a woman, but how could he be a friend of the young sect master? Furthermore, he admitted to going to the brothel with the young sect master.


    Just like the young sect master of the escort company, the eighteen bodyguards ran all over the place, working hard for the escort office. The old escort was known as the hero who could shake the south with a single punch. He was known as the father of those heroes who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the external world.


    Although he was not happy, he was still the Young Clan Master.


    The etiquette was not lacking, but he despised it countless times in his heart.


    "Young sect master, someone called you a friend. He came to pawn his dart and told you to meet him. He even said that it was the young sect master who left something behind and that he was here to return it."


    She saved herself the words'' brothel ''and other words. As the guest of the Long Clan''s Escort Office, she felt that she shouldn''t have disgraced the Young Clan Master.


    A sound came from the room. Who is it, who is it, so early in the morning, my friend? Who is it? What friends do I have to return me their darts? "


    The short-haired woman replied, "Yes, that person said that he will not carry the dart unless he sees the Young Clan Master."


    The short-haired woman silently cursed. Early in the morning? It was already late in the morning.


    There was a murmur in the room, as well as the sound of clothes and clothes.


    "Who is it? If I don''t know him, then I''ll teach him a lesson, but there''s a possibility that Ah San will return the money? No, even Ah San will have to speak nicely to him. This early in the morning, ah ~" He yawned and the young leader of the Dragon Gate Escort Office walked out the door.


    He said, "Bring me there."


    The short-haired woman was unwilling to speak as she silently led the way.


    The young sect master looked at Cai Die''s body, her temperament, and thought to himself, It''s just that she''s a bit ugly, otherwise she would definitely be a great beauty.

 C12

    He sat back down on his chair, closed his eyes, and began to meditate as he pondered on how he could persuade him to cancel the engagement.


    Yao Wei was so anxious that he said, "Benefactor, you should be able to make him give up on the idea of marrying Little Sister Xing Hua." This young master of the Longmen Escort Office is not someone to be trifled with. He is a well-known silkpants in Shun Jin Manor. "


    Cardinal Cheng joked, "You don''t have to worry. I have my own plans. If I can''t do it, then I''ll just cry, argue, and commit suicide. How can I be afraid that he won''t agree?"


    Yao Wei was pulled to his seat by the Cardinal as he said, "Calm down. Just watch the show." Seeing that he was confident, Yao Wei made up his mind. However, he still thought to himself that if this wasn''t possible, he could just beg the Young Clan Master to be his slave.


    An hour had passed since the short-haired woman went to call the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    Yao Wei''s heart was anxious and uneasy. From time to time, he banged the table and drank some tea. If it wasn''t for Cardinal Zhu Cheng who helped him to sit down, he would definitely be pacing back and forth in the great hall.


    Cardinal was calm and unperturbed. He didn''t want to agree? Even if I don''t agree, I have to. Who asked me to agree to Yao Wei''s request?


    The first two promises were for the Young Clan Master to agree, and the second was for himself to agree.


    After a while, a woman with short hair walked into the hall. She was well-proportioned and seven feet tall. She looked quite spirited.


    As soon as he entered, he asked, "Who is it? Who''s looking for me?"


    Cardinal smiled and stood up, "Bro, it''s me. I''m looking for you. "Bro, it must have been really hard for me to find you."


    Without further ado, he had already embraced the Young Clan Master''s shoulders.


    However, he didn''t just hold on to the Young Clan Master''s shoulder, his right hand held on to his shoulder, and the small dagger in his left hand was already pressed against the young Sect Master''s back.


    "Brother, don''t you think so?"


    That person did not dare to make a sound. He was not a person who did not know any martial arts. Even though he was not usually a martial artist, he had his father''s direct disciple.


    Cold sweat had already appeared on his back. He could only reply, "Yes, yes, yes. Brother, you''re too friendly. Can you let me go first? "


    "We haven''t seen each other for a long time, and I really want to see you. Let''s go to the side hall and have a nice chat about life, and it just so happens that I have a few things that I want to entrust to you."


    As he spoke, he pushed his dagger forward by half an inch.


    "Yes, yes, yes, let''s go, let''s go to the side hall to have a good chat." The young sect master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office was also a clever person.


    From his words, he could already guess that this person wanted to go to the side chamber to avoid the eyes and ears of others. Since he mentioned the dart, it shouldn''t be so incomprehensible as to harm him.


    But then he thought again, "And what else?" What else would it be, if it were an enemy? Give me back my life?


    After a moment of nervousness, he realized that his life and death was roughly fifty percent.


    So what if he went to the side chamber? He did not believe that someone would dare to kill him in his home''s escort office.


    Of course, this was because he didn''t know that the Prefect of Shunjin Prefecture had died in his own estate.


    Now the new officer was in office. The old officer had turned to dust.


    No one could remember who he was, but there might still be people who could remember his evil deeds.


    The short-haired woman was speechless. That person seemed to really be Young Sect Master''s friend.


    Furthermore, the Young Clan Master was extremely obedient to him.


    A vulgar thought suddenly rose in her mind. Could they be the legendary Master Rabbit?


    Bunny grandpa, two rabbits walk on the ground, can identify me as a male or female.


    He shivered, and the look in his eyes towards the two became even more contemptuous.


    Yao Wei stood up and followed behind him.


    Seeing that Yao Wei had also left the lobby, she sat down on a chair that she would usually sit on when she received the escort and took a sip of her tea. He thought, since the Young Clan Master has to receive the dart by name, why should he bother with it?


    Perhaps she would never have thought in her life that the reason she was so obedient was because a sharp dagger was less than half an inch from your back.


    The three of them went to the side hall and closed the door.


    Cardinal did not put away his dagger. Clearly, putting away his dagger was not a wise choice. What if this young Sect Master suddenly attacked someone?


    Cardinal said, "Young Clan Master, I have no ill intentions. Do you believe me? "


    That young sect leader hastily nodded his head, "Trust me, what do you mean by that?" As he said this, he kept trying to determine the position of the dagger, as well as the dominant position in his life. It was always better to always hold it in your hands.


    Cardinal Cheng did not care about this and continued, "Young Sect Master, do you remember something?" That Young Clan Master thought to himself, you still haven''t told me what it is, how would I know what it is?


    "A year ago, you went to the Apricot Flower Village and said that you wanted three hundred taels of silver to marry a girl called Apricot Flower. Do you remember that?"


    How could that young sect leader forget? Back then, when he saw that beautiful apricot flower, he had wanted to take it as a wife. Who would have thought that it was actually this fellow''s sweetheart? I heard that he even rejected the offer of three hundred silver taels and said that he wanted to wait for his beloved one. A year from now, if he did not come to propose marriage, he would agree to marry her.


    "Brother, I didn''t touch that girl, I didn''t force her, I didn''t make it difficult for her, I was prepared to marry her in broad daylight, not to mention I really didn''t touch her, not even once. I swear to you, if I move one finger, I''ll break the other."


    Judging from the situation, even if he told him to kneel, he would still have to kneel.


    Men had gold under their knees, how much could dignity be worth in front of life?


    "Don''t say that. I''m just asking if you remember this?"


    "Yes, yes." No matter how cowardly this Young Sect Master looked on the surface, the blade of the saber was always half an inch from his back.


    Regardless of whether or not he could find the location of the saber, this Young Clan Master had always been creating opportunities for others to underestimate him. The reversal of the situation in one fell swoop caused people to be caught off guard.


    "I have something to discuss with you. Can you cancel the marriage contract? Just treat it as me owing you a favor."


    "Cancel, cancel. How can I not cancel it? Your original owner already came to find me, so why would I meddle in this? Rest assured, I will not disturb that girl again. If I do, I will die to atone for my wrongdoings.


    When Yao Wei heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He couldn''t help but admire this benefactor''s methods. So it turned out that he had really hit the jackpot and met a kind-hearted chivalrous hero.


    Then he said, "I don''t want to owe favors to anyone, so when I said I wanted to pay you back just now, I wanted to pay this favor back." As long as it''s not a crime and it''s not against the law, I can agree to one condition. "


    As he spoke, he quietly withdrew his dagger.


    The leader of the Dragon Gate escort team saw the dagger fly away.


    "Brat, what kind of person do you think the young master of the Longmen Escort Office is? How dare he do that!"


    Before he finished speaking, the punch had already arrived.


    Cardinal blocked with his right hand, twisted with his backhand, and slapped Cardinal with his left hand, catching him on the ground.


    "Young Clan Lord, you are putting me in a difficult position. Don''t tell me you really want me to kill you?"


    With a light push, he created some distance between him and the young sect master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    I once said, "If you don''t want to owe others, I think not killing you is already considered a favor. What do you think?"


    The young sect leader sneered. He thought to himself, if you say so, how could I not admit it?


    Cardinal''s words changed as he said, "I''ve already said that I don''t want to owe anyone any favors. Come to the Elegant Lodge tomorrow and find me. I''ll naturally give you an explanation."


    He then said, "I have enough sincerity. I hope you can give me enough sincerity."


    He was about to go out, but when he reached the door, he turned his head and smiled, "Right, what I want to carry with my dart today is called happiness. I hope Young Clan Master can help me."


    The young sect leader''s heart was agitated. This man''s martial arts were unfathomable.


    If this punch was exchanged for an ordinary martial artist, how could he block it? Its speed was like the wind, its power like fire, and its might like a mountain. However, this time, he managed to block the attack, twisting and dispersing its power.


    Even if he changed his name to someone who could shake the south with a single punch, the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign from the Dragon Gate Fist might not necessarily be able to defeat him.


    There was a heroic spirit in his heart as he said, "Pleasing Hut. I will definitely come to pay you a visit. I will accept this dart of yours for your happiness!"


    Seeing that the two men had left, the short-haired woman was prepared to inquire about the details.


    After hearing this.


    These two! Happiness?


    He asked, "What darts did those two ask for? How many bodyguards do you need? Do you want three armors? What are the things you want?"


    "The dart he asked for is called happiness, and I have given it to him. "You don''t have to ask. Go and busy yourself with it."


    Happiness... I gave it to him... The short-haired woman felt a wave of cold disgust.

 C13

    He gave a thumbs up, "Benefactor, you really are something. This time, he''s convinced, so he''s not afraid of their revenge in the future. If he is forced to agree, then he might even be afraid of his anger coming for revenge in the future."


    "It''s fine. I said I''ll fix it for you, so I''ll definitely help you settle it. Haha, now do you believe me?" Cardinal was also a little happy. Being able to help others was truly a happy thing. More importantly, it did not go against the chivalry in his heart.


    When faced with injustice, they would draw swords to help.


    The world was unfair and sought peace for the world.


    To see evil and evil done, to punish evil and to exterminate evil.


    Thinking of this, he hated the eight great sects more and more. In order to be fair, in order to be righteous and to punish evil, he had committed all sorts of evil for the people. However, he had been besieged by the eight great sects, and even the imperial court was unwilling to let him off.


    Yao Wei excitedly asked, "Benefactor, I haven''t asked for your name yet."


    Cardinal Cheng smiled and said, "You can just call me Cardinal. You have been a benefactor all day, and I also feel uncomfortable listening to you call me a benefactor."


    With a mischievous smile, he said, "Why, why does it feel like you''re getting married to Zhang Xiaodong? I saw you being taught a lesson that day in order to stop those hooligans."


    "Ah, benefactor, you saw it."


    "Stop calling me benefactor. Call me by my name."


    "Alright, benefactor."


    "I already said, stop calling me benefactor."


    It was unknown if it was his imagination, but Yao Wei seemed to have become more cheerful all of a sudden.


    However, Yao Wei still didn''t speak of his own experiences. He also didn''t say why he would do his best for Zhang Xiaodong.


    Cardinal did not ask.


    "It''s still too early. Why don''t you take me on a tour of Gold City?"


    "Alright. I have stayed in the capital for more than ten years. Even if I have not taken every single path, I have at least gone through eighty to ninety percent of them. benefactor, you want to swim. You''ve found the right person to look for me. "


    He realized that he was still called benefactor, not a name. He was too lazy to care too much about it.


    "Then take me for a good tour. Take me to a fun place in the capital that you know." "I''ll go to the Elegant Lair later. I''ll stay at his place for the night. I want to see what rules they have for guests."


    "Oh right, if you have anything on your mind, I can just blindly walk around."


    "Benefactor must be joking. What can I do? I''m just a little hoodlum in that area. I''m just a hoodlum waiting to die, let''s not talk about that anymore." "Let''s go, let''s go."


    Cardinal followed behind him as he strolled through the city. From time to time, he would give a few introductions and even ask a few questions.


    For example, the Sparrow Immortal Bridge, the western boundary of the east side of the city, a river flowing slowly. According to Yao Wei, there was a pharmacist in the east side of the river who was very afraid of his wife.


    For example, at the southern corner of the city, monks were chanting scriptures, or monks were sweeping the floor, all of them doing their duty. According to Yao Wei, once the morning bell rang, there would be monks chanting the Buddhist scriptures, and at noon, there would also be people who would sign the scriptures.


    For example, the skywave building, the skywave building tall enough to cover the entire city, the skywave building, the literati salamanders drinking wine to help the poem thrive. He wielded his brush and made music for the Heavenly Wave Pavilion. He made music for the Heavenly Wave Pavilion and recited a poem for the Heavenly Wave Pavilion. Yao Wei also said that there were times when nobles would come to the second floor. If the story was written in a moving manner, who knows, once a lord favored someone, they might be accepted as a disciple or even as an advisor, achieving a meteoric rise in their entire lives.


    There was also the chess hall, and the knowledge of Go, in the middle of the music, in the calligraphy and painting, the chess game as the second to see the praise, chess can solve the fatigue, but can also do great things, chess skills, chess is learned, chess has its way. If there was a battle between two people with similar strength, from the bottom to the bottom, it was as though there was a hundred and fifty moves. From this, it could be seen how powerful the battle was. The ancients also had the saying, "A wise man who plays the game in the world is one of a kind."


    Cardinal also liked to play chess, but he was an amateur. He only knew that the Golden Horn Silver Edge Grass had a foundation at its belly.


    The biggest gambling den in the city had a big signboard. It had the most complete facilities, places with crickets, places with betting horses, places with fighting chickens, places with cards nine, six, listening screens, and sizes. Gambling methods are changeable, gamblers appear one after another, a thousand gold spent in a single game is courage, the family is unknown.


    As he listened to his explanation, he couldn''t help but sigh at what he had seen. Was it because the individual was different from the martial arts world? The individual was different from the world.


    Cardinal only had a rough look at them and had not yet entered. The only one who entered was a weapon shop. All kinds of weapons could be seen. There was not a single missing weapon. Sword, spear, sword, halberd, hatchet, halberd, lance, lance, lance, mace, hammer, all missing.


    He didn''t want others to see his Soul Search Blade, after all, it was a weapon that had killed Sheng Lingming for many years. It might be troublesome if he were to be recognized.


    Fifteen taels of silver for a longsword, plus five taels of silver for a ebony sheath.


    For those who roamed the martial arts world, they did not care about how elegant and elegant they were in white clothing, nor did they talk about how romantic and elegant they were in blue clothing, nor about how their red clothes were like flames that could seize people.


    He had to at least choose a weapon that he liked.


    The most favored weapon of a Cardinal was the Soul Search Saber. Once the saber came out, a person would die. Anyone who wanted to kill it could be compared to a ghost under the blade. The next was a longsword. It was a three foot long blade, and it had killed many people who did not return. Now that the Soul Refining Saber had sealed the Saber''s Intent, it planned to only use the longsword to show itself to others.


    When Cardinal walked out with his long sword, Yao Wei smiled and said, "Benefactor is wearing a sword, it is an elegant and elegant sword, the use of the blade is too ruthless and fierce, and the use of the hammer is too restrained and inconvenient. "A longsword is more suited for you."


    Cardinal Cheng smiled and said, "I probably won''t be coming back after I leave Shunjin Manor this time. Yao Wei, how about you accompany me on my adventures in the martial arts world?"


    Yao Wei waved his hand and said, "My Jianghu is a floating duckweed road. It has been changed into a small alley that hasn''t changed for ten years. My martial arts world is just ten years old. My martial arts world is long over. "Benefactor, if you are on your way, I wish you a pleasant journey. If benefactor returns, there will be wine and wine in Blessed Gate Inn." "No matter what, Yao Wei expressed his gratitude towards benefactor."


    "Brother Yao, with one look, you can tell that you have a story. A story goes with wine, and without wine, it becomes drink. I won''t listen to the story either. If I''m still here when I return, please drink three cups!"


    Yao Wei brought the Cardinal to the Elegant Lodge. Yao Wei wanted to enter the inn with him.


    Cardinal Cheng stopped him.


    Sneering, he said, "You can go first. You don''t have martial arts, so you can''t help me with anything. Do you really think I can let you roam the martial arts world with me? Forget it, since your martial arts world is finished, don''t get into trouble again. Go back and be your little hoodlum. "


    Yao Wei deeply bowed and said, "Benefactor, take care."


    Cardinal Cheng smiled. "I''ll see you again."


    The Jianghu of Yao Wei has ended, and my Jianghu has just opened.


    The lofty sentiments of the martial arts world was not a disgrace to chivalry.


    Today, I came to the Pleasing Tavern to listen to their rules.

 C14

    The Cardinal stepped into the Elegant Lodge.


    Cardinal placed his sword on the table. The waiter of the Pleasant Tavern had noticed that someone had come to the restaurant at dusk, so he should be staying. Although he knew the purpose of the guest''s visit, he still took out the necessary procedures, "Does the guest stay at the restaurant or eat? Would you like some wine? "


    Cardinal replied, "Stay at the restaurant."


    Also, he must be someone from the martial arts world with a long sword. If a person from the martial arts world was here, it was unknown if they had eaten before. If they had hurried past, they might not have had time to eat.


    "Sir, would you like some side dishes?" As he spoke, he handed over the menu.


    Cardinal took the menu and calmly said, "Farmer''s Three Treasures, a plate of fried beef with green peppers, lean meat, stewed potatoes, meat back in the pot, egg soup, and a pot of osmanthus wine."


    "Please inform the waiter that there is a guest who wishes to meet the owner of the restaurant and have a drink with him. He has something to ask of you."


    The waiter replied, "Okay. Customer, please wait a moment. "


    The waiter relayed the message to the boss.


    When the shop owner saw the people who came with weapons, he knew they were people from the martial arts world. When the restaurant was opened, it would be unreasonable soldiers and nosy martial artists who were difficult to deal with.


    He thought to himself that this might not be a good thing.


    However, he was not afraid. Firstly, he had his own gang to watch the scene, and secondly, he had the government as a helper. The guests were all guests, so he wanted to see how they would handle the matter.


    Cardinal saw a man with a paunchy, rich, and elderly appearance walk up to him.


    The moment he opened his mouth, he asked, "I am the boss of this Pleasing Inn. May I ask what is the matter, young hero?"


    "I have nothing better to do with you," he said with a smile. "I have plenty of free time, but few people like to drink together. I wonder if Boss would like to share this cup with me. I''ve heard that there are quite a few rules at the Pleasing Hostel, so I would like to ask you to speak up for me."


    "Those who come are guests. Although I cannot decline Young Hero''s good intentions, I still need to open the door to do business, and do not drink wine. I offer my tea in place of wine, and wish Young Hero success, his reputation as a hero has spread far and wide." After which, he smilingly drank the tea in one gulp.


    "What?" The boss felt that his punishment was flawless and not lacking in etiquette, so he tactfully declined.


    It was as if he was saying, I have already given you face, don''t embarrass everyone.


    At this moment, the three treasures of the village had just been placed on the table.


    Zhu Cheng suddenly asked, "The three treasures of the village, which three treasures are they?"


    The owner did not even bother to reply and just said, "The eggplant and bitter melon along with the beans."


    Then he asked, "What''s three crisps in the farmhouse?"


    The owner was clearly getting impatient.


    "Fish chili, potato chips, and peanut."


    Then, he asked, "Which three treasures will it be?"


    The boss was amused by this person''s question.


    "This esteemed customer, why is Lao San in a bad mood? Business Three Treasures? "Well, I think it''s because people are laughing, customers are unable to get away, merchants become merchants, and their wealth reaches the three rivers, so this is one of them."


    There is no me, there is me good, there are many good, there are many early, the goods are all grass, this is the second.


    It is the third to be kind to others, to be kind to others, to be kind to them, and to make them rich.


    "Then, may I ask if the boss has ever done it himself?"


    The boss was silent.


    "May I ask, whose family owns the main street?"


    The boss replied, "Under the heavens, is it a kingdom? Or is it a kingdom?" The country, of course, and the Emperor. "


    He then asked, "Excuse me, may I ask why you restrict the actions of others and think that you are doing this for your own benefit?"


    The boss replied, "To harm others'' own interests is to avenge themselves. It is for the sake of evil that people should be free. It is also for the sake of evil."


    "A row of tables in Cardinal''s row, with a cold snort." If the boss knows all this, then why did he take away his freedom and harm himself? Could it be that he has already treated himself as the emperor? "


    The boss didn''t understand the meaning behind his words and asked, "What do you mean by that?"


    Cardinal said, "What was wrong with the waiter of the Fu Men Inn? "Does the law say that guests cannot be invited on the streets?"


    The boss said, "This, this, this, he broke the rules. There is a line of rules for each line. If he goes out to attract customers, then that''s a line of breaking."


    Cardinal gave a cold laugh, "Rules? Then why don''t others say so, while others don''t care, but only you? Besides, who decides the rules, you? Is that you? "


    The boss angrily said, "Don''t meddle in other people''s business. He made me lose my salary. So what if I get someone to teach him a lesson?!"


    "Do you remember what you said the Three Treasures of Business are? Do you remember what you said? What you said is evil? Do you remember what you said is wrong?"


    The boss finally understood that today, he had met a busybody from the martial arts world.


    The boss said, "Young Hero, if you want to stay in a restaurant and eat, you are very welcome. If you don''t feel good about it, I will have to come to the inn. Come!" See the guests out! "


    As he spoke, over ten strong men came out to chase him away with sticks in hand.


    They surrounded the table set up by the Cardinal.


    "I came here to reason with you. In terms of rules, you don''t listen to what I''ve told you. You just want me to use the sword in my hand to tell you."


    When I come here to reason with you, if I cannot reason with you, I shall ask you with my sword.


    The sword does not come out of its scabbard.


    Just moments ago, all of the robust men in the arena had all fallen onto the ground.


    He had never damaged a table or chair, or knocked over a plate of food, or harmed anyone.


    Other than Cardinal, there was no one else present.


    Huai Cheng lightly slapped the boss''s fat face, the boss slowly woke up.


    He already knew that he had met an extraordinary expert and he definitely wasn''t someone he could deal with. Even if he wanted to deal with him, he couldn''t do it now.


    Cardinal did not speak, nor did he give any further explanation.


    Looking at the boss''s face, he said, "Boss, stay here."


    Then he returned to his table and started eating.


    Without saying a word, the boss was bewildered. Thinking about it, could it be that this person isn''t here to ruin everything, but is here just to give me a few words of reasoning? This person was acting strangely.


    The owner walked to the table. He didn''t seem to know what to do. He didn''t know whether he should speak or not.


    Cardinal ate and poured out two cups of wine.


    Push out a cup for the potbellied boss.


    "Can we have a drink together?"


    The shop owner picked up his wine glass and gulped it down.


    "Which room am I in?"


    The boss didn''t seem to expect him to ask such a question. He was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and there was nothing he could do now. No matter what he said, it was all up to him.


    Then he answered, "On the third floor, choose one of your rooms."


    Cardinal raised his head and downed all the wine in his cup before putting down the five taels of silver.


    He said to his boss, "If others go out to recruit guests, why don''t you go out to recruit guests? Didn''t you say that there is no one better than me, that there is better than me, that there are more people, that there are more people, and that goods are all treasures? "Why do you have to do that?"


    Today, after three questions and three answers, the boss''s answers were flowing like the flow.


    If there were no later incidents, the Elegant Lair could be considered to be a pretty good inn.


    Cardinal walked to the third floor and said with his back to the boss, "Justice is in the heart of men. Although you are familiar with business, you must still remember not to lose heart."


    The boss heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like this person was being reasonable.


    He suddenly thought back to his early days when he was in the business world.


    It turned out that after interacting with money for a long time, he would inevitably fall into the eyes of money.


    It turned out that after calculating for a long time, it was inevitable that he would take advantage of others.


    In the matters of the world, it was the hardest thing to maintain one''s heart.

 C15

    For one reason, he wanted to see if the Gladys Inn would continue to haunt him. If he were to call anyone else to disturb him, he would have to tell him another reason, which was that he had to let them off the hook. Secondly, when he was at the Longmen Escort Office, he had said that he would wait for the Young Master of the Longmen Escort Office at the Elegant Lair Inn to return his favor. If there was anything he needed his help with, he would do his best to help him.


    In the past few days, Cardinal had also been training in a very orderly manner. He had taken out four hours a day to practice his techniques.


    The master also often said, a hundred thousand feet high floor rise, drop water stone through, noble at perseverance.


    He got up in the middle of the morning and practiced until the end of the morning. Then he went downstairs to get his breakfast ready.


    When the boss saw him, he went downstairs and said, "Young Hero, what do you want for breakfast?"


    Although he did not know how touched he would be, if he could change and maintain the true nature of the merchant, he would naturally be overjoyed. If he couldn''t change anything and did something against the law, even if the government didn''t want him to, he would still have to take care of it.


    "Boss, give me a bowl of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge."


    Just as he was about to start eating, there was a commotion outside the door. It turned out to be the young sect master of the Longmen Escort Office.


    The young sect leader of the Dragon Gate Escort Office had seven or eight bodyguards following behind him. The young sect leader instructed, "You guys wait outside. I''ll go in personally to discuss things with him."


    He sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and started eating. He spoke with a slurred voice, "Brother, you are very sincere, I was just about to take the dart today, I had originally wanted to come over to see if you were there. If you were here, please follow me to the dart table, if you weren''t, then forget about it."


    "You want me to go with you?" Huzhu asked in surprise.


    "That''s right, brother''s martial arts are unfathomably profound, I am truly impressed. This time, if I get your help, my success rate will increase by at least 20%. To be honest, this is my first time taking a dart." As he spoke, he reached out to take the only bowl of porridge.


    Cardinal Cheng lightly tapped the back of his hand with his chopsticks. He awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "What do you think, brother?"


    Cardinal Cheng said, "The words you said did not have any reason to take them back. He said that he owed you a favor, and now he''s done with them."


    He then ate two steamed buns and drank half a bowl of porridge.


    "Wait here for a moment. I''ll go get my luggage and leave immediately." Then he turned and went upstairs.


    When he passed by the counter, he saw the boss of the Elegant Lodge who had left behind a silver coin for breakfast. He spoke with a profound tone, "Boss, do your best in the future. If you meet an unreasonable person, it''s one thing to open an inn, but it''s another to not have one at all. It''s completely different whether you live or not."


    Then he went up to the third floor, took out the sword he had just bought, and brought along his sparse bag with him.


    He went downstairs and said to the young sect master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office, "Come, let''s go together."


    That young sect leader wiped his mouth and said, "Let''s go. Brother, please follow me on this trip."


    With that, the two of them left.


    "Go, bring this brother a horse." Not long after he finished, the horse arrived. "Cardinal jumped onto his horse, held his reins, and advanced head to head with the young master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office."


    The five carriages outside, excluding the Cardinal, the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office, and the eight bodyguards, gave off the feeling that they were all powerful and not weak.


    Besides the eight bodyguards, there were also people driving the carriage and a team of five bodyguards. The group of forty to fifty people majestically departed from the Shunjin Manor.


    An old man, a short-haired woman, and a group of people from the escort company were seen off by the entrance of the Dragon Gate Security Office.


    The old man seemed to be in his fifties, with white hair growing out of his temples. However, he was as still as a mountain, and the muscles on his hands were clearly defined. It was obvious that he was a grandmaster of external martial arts.


    The short-haired woman was the receptionist of the Dragon Gate Escort Office. The others were most likely disciples of the Dragon Gate Escort Office or other escort masters.


    As the carriages and horses passed by, they all said, "Take care."


    The young sect leader glanced at his father and the other escort, but did not say a word.


    The old sect leader watched them leave. The old man didn''t say a word, but his gaze was always on his son.


    In the blink of an eye, he had already passed the Longmen Escort Office and was heading out of the city by following the official road from the north gate of Gold City.


    "Where are we going this time?"


    The young sect leader said, "We''re going to Luoyang. I''m really glad that you''re here. Oh right, my name is Nie Laihong, what''s your name?"


    Cardinal Cheng said his name.


    The young head of the Dragon Gate Escort Office said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for coming with me."


    "There is no need to be courteous, this young sect master. Since I have agreed to you, this is what I should do."


    Nie Laihong sighed and said, "Brother Chen has spoken the truth. I really admire you."


    "What are we transporting this time?" he asked. "Why did you send out eight escort guards, with Young Clan Master added to yourself, and five escort squads, it should be close to forty to fifty people. This mission is definitely not a simple one."


    Nie Laihong made a silencing gesture and said, "Generally, escort agents don''t pay attention to what the goods are. This is the rule of our escort company. We only know what the things we are carrying are, only what we are carrying, and there are still several core members like us. Only three or four people know the truth.


    He knew that he had violated a great taboo. To put it bluntly, he was an outsider watching the show, so he had to be careful not to point fingers when doing things in the industry.


    The galloping of the horses advanced in an orderly manner, carrying with it a mysterious rhythm that struck the emperor as very pleasant to listen to.


    From time to time, he would chat with the Young Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    One of them carried a long spear on his back, but this was not all. Beside the horse, there were a few halberd pouches with a few short halberds in them.


    The other one had his eyes closed the whole time, as if resting. However, it was very magical. Although his eyes were closed, he was riding as normal as an ordinary man.


    Look, there''s a female escort among them?" But there was no underestimation in Shu Cheng''s heart, why can''t a girl be an escort? Why can''t a girl become a hero? Everyone can be equal, everyone can be a hero.


    In the heart of the Cardinal, chivalry was far more complex than martial arts.


    He remembered that his master said that he had heard someone say something before and remembered it for many years.


    The Heroic are the people of the world, the Heroic are the people of the country.


    He had a rough idea of the pattern of progress and followed the escort team on horseback. He neither chatted with them nor seemed to be far away from them.


    As they walked, they slowly got to know the escort team.


    It was very orderly. Even though the Long Clan Escort Office''s escort was quite strong, the formation of the escort office''s darts was already considered to be of the first class.


    Over three days had passed since he had left the palace. Basically, all of the escort agents had already met up with each other, and no one was willing to travel with the unclear people, regardless of whether or not they were invited by the Young Clan Master. All of them had different moods, such as being on guard, being surprised, or being indifferent, but all of them were not people that he was willing to bother about.

 C16

    In the Dragon Gate Escort Office, the person who was most familiar with Cardinal was the young sect master. Since they were familiar with each other, the two of them had chatted the most along the way.


    After a few days of travelling and sleeping outside together, the estrangement between the two of them had greatly lessened. The other escort masters also began to chat and laugh with Cardinal, and they would even play a little joke from time to time. Even the disciples of the Dragon Gate escort team started to get a bit closer to him.


    The best thing to do in a relationship is to travel together. Although it wasn''t tourism, the most popular thing was still traveling together.


    In these few days of travel, besides resting at the relay station, there were also occasional times when they would enter the town to rest. The rest of the time, they would advance at a leisurely pace and with abundant rules.


    He would occasionally run into bandits that wanted to cut off the distance. When he saw the situation, he would have to think it over carefully. When he saw the four words "Dragon Gate Escort Office", he was 80 to 90% certain that they would retreat. Along the way, they only fought with the exception of the boat, which didn''t fight with anyone else. It was best if everything was peaceful. If someone really came to rob the dart, then they would have no choice but to take action.


    In his heart, Shu Cheng was secretly praising them. The Longmen Escort Office was indeed worthy of its reputation. Otherwise, it would not have such a great influence in the Shunjin Manor.


    Cardinal and the others were currently in the fifth month, and they had already traveled for more than half a month. They had already passed by four villages and twelve relay stations. Cardinal had never traveled outside, so he did not know where he had gone. He only remembered the rough route.


    Now, he was resting in a hillside forest, after all, it was now noon in May, so he might as well go in the afternoon. After resting for a while, the sun would set in the afternoon, and he could save energy and rest up, but it would not affect his journey, as long as he avoided the heat, firstly, he would save his energy, and secondly, he would be able to move forward in accordance with the heart''s desire. If he did not do so in the heat of the day, then there might be some resentment in his heart, and even if he did not hide it, it did not mean that it would not affect his morale or the efficiency of his darts.


    However, Nie Laihong was responsible for every major incident that happened on this trip. Cardinal had observed everything along the way, so Nie Laihong''s handling of the matter could be said to be organized and well organized.


    In his heart, Shu Cheng was also deeply moved. He thought back to the first time he saw him, that moral and moral appearance, and how things were going well now. It was as if he wasn''t just a second generation ancestor.


    The Cardinal thought about these insignificant matters. As he was resting, Nie Laihong saw that Cardinal seemed to be deep in thought, and he asked with a smile, "What is Brother Cardinal thinking? Could he be thinking of women? "Wait until the darting ends, it''s not impossible for me to invite you to call a Courtesan Belle over to open up a meat for you."


    Hearing him say this, Huai Cheng replied, "I don''t miss women. I''m afraid it''s not Brother Nie himself who is unable to endure the thirst."


    When the people of Longmen Escort Office heard that they were talking about women, they started to talk too. Some of them talked about how they had been to a few brothels and how they had been on horses. Some were too lazy to reply, while others started to discuss with interest.


    It turned out to be the female escort from the eight escort team, who was currently staring at him and Nie Laihong with a murderous look in her eyes. Cardinal Cheng also had some impression of her, and they had chatted for quite a few days, but she seemed to be called Jane Miaomiao. Cardinal also felt that this wasn''t proper etiquette, and didn''t dare to meet his gaze. Nie Laihong, on the other hand, was extremely carefree, as if he didn''t even see that look in his eyes.


    To speak of a woman in front of a woman, unless she considered herself a man. Otherwise, they would think you weren''t human.


    "Brother Nie, I''ve heard that there are eight great sects. In fact, this is my first time traveling the martial arts world, and I don''t know much about the cities or the sects. However, since Brother Nie is traveling together, I''ll have to ask first so that I won''t lose my sight in the future."


    Nie Laihong laughed, "Brother Cheng, is this the first time you have roamed the Jianghu? Haha, judging from Brother Cheng''s demeanor, you look just like an old martial artist! "


    Although he was sad, he still said, "My teacher taught me well. As the saying goes, if you don''t listen to the words of the old man, then you will suffer. Didn''t I just listen to the old man''s words for the sake of not suffering too much?"


    Nie Laihong asked, "Brother Cheng''s kung fu is outstanding. May I ask who you are?"


    Cardinal knew that he couldn''t reveal his master''s name, so he laughed, "Just a nameless newbie. My master cultivated his own martial arts, so how could my master not know it?"


    After Nie Laihong pondered for a moment, he laughed out loud and said, "Your master is truly a martial arts genius. He is even able to create his own martial arts. I''m truly impressed."


    "Yes, he often boasts that he is number two in the world. Aside from the Sword God of Mount Kunlun, no one else in the world is his match, yet he can''t even name the Sword God of Mount Kunlun. He even says that he is number two in the world."


    Huai Cheng felt that what he said was half true and half false. He did not know the Sword God''s name and who did not know if it was true. Number two in the world and his self-created martial arts were fake.


    Nie Laihong couldn''t be bothered to ask anymore. Since others weren''t willing to tell him, there was no point in continuing to ask. However, in his heart, he was secretly cursing that Cardinal was not a kind person. His master was unwilling to say anything, and was not honest.


    How could the name of the killing saint be so easily made known to others?


    When it reached the ears of the world, it was unknown if it was another bloody storm.


    However, Nie felt that since he had said something to the man, he was willing to go with him. In his heart, he still felt that he could be trusted. Even though the situation was dangerous, Nie Laihong also trusted his intuition.


    A promise is a promise, a promise worth a thousand gold.


    This was the martial arts world that Nie Laihong envied the most.


    Nie Laihong made up his mind and no longer asked his master any questions. He said, "Since you''ve asked sincerely, I''ll have to tell you mercifully. The eight major sects are Mount Kunlun, Shaolin Temple, Jade Cave Sect, Mystic Moon Sect, Fasthorse Manor, Hidden Sword Valley, Nine Nether Sect, and the Dragon Gate Security Office. "Hahaha."


    "The Dragon Gate Escort Office is also one of the eight great sects?" Cardinal Cheng asked in shock.


    His shocked expression couldn''t be faked. Nie Laihong felt a little proud of himself. So this was the first time he''d been out on a tour.


    Although the Dragon Gate Escort Office was not weak in the martial arts world, they were at most in the second tier. How could they be ranked among the eight great sects?


    One of the real eight great sects was actually the Hua Shan Sect.


    Huai Cheng jumped up and asked again, "Are you really from the eight great sects?"


    When Nie Laihong saw this, he was also shocked. His tone had already relaxed a little. "Yes, yes, yes. My Dragon Gate''s escort team, fist technique, and martial art have appeared. How could it be fake?"


    "Are you really from the eight great sects?" Cardinal asked again.


    Nie Laihong was about to retort, but then said, "We are one of the eight great sects." However, when he saw the Cardinal''s gaze, he immediately changed the topic and said, "Actually, the last of the eight great sects is the Hua Shan Sect. "It''s just a joke, why are you so excited, brother Cheng? Even if you''ve heard of the Hua Shan Sect ¡­"


    Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly asked, "Don''t tell me that your family is related to the Hua Shan Sect, or that Brother Zhen is actually a disciple of the Hua Shan Sect?"


    Nie Laihong couldn''t think of any other reason for Cardinal to be so excited. He only thought of one thing, and that was that his sect was being humiliated.


    Hearing his words, the emperor restrained his imposing manner, "So that''s how it is. So that''s how it is."


    Nie Laihong didn''t know that his few words had already caused him to walk out of the gates of hell.


    Cardinal Cheng also realized that he had lost his composure. "Brother Nie, you really like to joke around."


    What else could Nie Laihong say? He could only smile in embarrassment.

 C17

    Cardinal Cheng calmed himself down and said, "Why didn''t you mention the Hua Shan Sect earlier, and the Longmen Escort Office?"


    I didn''t intentionally choose to replace the Hua Shan Sect. I just felt that "Karakorum Shaolin [1], Nine Serenities Quick Horse Hidden Sword, Hua Shan [2]," was the one who put the Hua Mountain Sect at the end of the list, and didn''t intend to humiliate Hua Mountain. Also, Brother Cardinal, you weren''t too straightforward either, I just asked you for your master''s instructions, and now you''re here to vent your anger on me, you said earlier that you''re a disciple of the Hua Mountain Sect, and I''m going to replace the Faster Horse Villa no matter what. "


    Cardinal Cheng finally understood what he meant. It was just that in order to make his Dragon Gate Escort Office look more powerful, he had changed the board on a whim. Furthermore, he seemed to think of himself as a disciple of the Hua Shan Sect.


    Cardinal Cheng said, "Brother Nie, I''m sorry. I lost my composure just now. I''m sorry."


    Nie Laihong said, "Wah! Brother Zhen, you don''t know how scary you were just now. You only need to draw your sword to kill someone."


    At this moment, Nie Laihong had already confirmed that Cardinal Ye and all others were disciples of the Hua Shan Sect.


    Huashan had never liked to argue. He only wanted to rest and practice his martial arts, so there were very few disciples who went down the mountain to gain experience. Even if they did, they would keep a low profile. Wasn''t this the same with Cardinal? This was the first time he had traveled so far, and his actions were strange. All he thought about was how to be brave and righteous. If he wasn''t that young noob, then what was he?


    Huai Cheng was too lazy to explain, so he simply continued, "Brother Nie, please don''t blame me. Brother Nie, please don''t blame me."


    Nie Laihong was also a straightforward person. "Forget it, forget it. You''re holding a dagger against my spine. I didn''t even care what happened. Why would I be afraid that you''d scare me with just a glance?"


    "Brother Nie is a magnanimous person. The Prime Minister''s heart is filled with pride. I admire you, I admire you!"


    "Hahaha, alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. Do you remember the eight great sects? I''ll say it again. Mount Hua, Mount Kunlun, Lin Bi Cave. Now that''s what you want. "


    Cardinal Cheng smiled but did not speak. He thought to himself, it''s a good thing you''re not from the eight great sects. Otherwise, if I let your blood splash on the spot, would you have the chance to chat and joke with me?


    Suddenly, something happened in the forest.


    Then the escort with the halberd pouch on his back shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy, someone is robbing the dart!" Then, he held a long spear in one hand and carried the halberd bag on his back. The five people beside him also looked as if they were facing a great enemy, but they did not show any signs of cowardice.


    The rest of the escort also gave their instructions and each of them positioned themselves in a welcoming position. It could be said that as an escort, as an escort, the Longmen Escort Office was very competent.


    Cardinal also picked up the longsword in his hand and began to sense the Qi flow.


    There were about 140 to 150 people.


    The escort and escort team keep the escort in the center, while the dart taker keeps the escort and the dart in the center.


    Nie Laihong shouted, "Which mountain''s brothers are here? This is the Long Clan Escort Office''s dart deposit. Please be magnanimous and give us three hundred taels of silver."


    Nie Laihong was very clear that there were two types of darts. The first was something that the dart needed, something that no matter how much money it cost, he couldn''t get rid of. The other type was the type that came to make an appearance, accepted some money, and then left, the kind where everyone had nothing to do.


    Normally, a stronger mountain would not want to engage in a battle with the escort company. Even if they intercepted the escort team, they would definitely suffer a heavy loss, not to mention the darts from the Longmen escort team. For a weaker mountain, not being exterminated by the escort company was good enough. Why would it still try to intercept another person''s dart?


    One hundred and forty men surrounded them.


    Then someone said, "Young Clan Master, you can forget about sending us off. Three hundred taels? Three thousand liang might not even be enough. "


    Nie Laihong was taken aback. How could someone recognize me when I first stepped on the dart?


    However, he did not show it on his face and shouted, "Everyone, protect your darts well. One hundred and forty people trying to take down our Dragon Gate Escort Office''s darts, you''re looking down on us too much!"


    The leader of the 140 people said, "Who hasn''t heard of the Long Clan Escort Office?" If they didn''t have a foolproof plan, who would take the risk? The Young Clan Lord is wrong. It is not that he is looking down on us, it is that he is looking down on us too much. "


    One of the escort from the Dragon Gate Escort Office turned around and stabbed his blade, killing the surrounding five people in a single blow. Cardinal Cheng also saw the change in an instant, this person was one of the eight escort team, but it was hard for him to say anything. For the past few days, he had only exchanged a name with Cardinal, and had not spoken a single word since.


    However, before he could react, the spear had already arrived and was entangled together. The female escort quickly brought people to fill up the gap while the other escort also slightly changed their formation. Although it was an action of helplessness, at least it did not expose any gaps.


    When the one hundred and forty men saw that their wife had made her move, they shouted, "Let''s do it!"


    After that, the leader of the group said, "Kill them all. This time, the looting darts are no small matter. Once the loot darts are back, they will slowly divide it up. It''s more than 300 taels of silver. 3000 taels is enough."


    Nie Laihong shouted, "Protect the dart!" The dart is with the person, and the escort is dead. Unless it is dead, the Longmen Escort Office will not throw the dart! "


    "Yes!"


    Forty to fifty people were fighting against one hundred and forty people. The Longmen Escort Office had instantly fallen into a dangerous situation.


    The most important thing was not the advantage in numbers, but the fact that there were more than ten martial arts masters on the other side for the sake of the darts. A one-on-one fight did not mean that the escort from the Dragon Gate Escort Office would be at a disadvantage, but if there was an expert sitting in the formation and the numbers were superior, the Dragon Gate Escort Board''s escort team would have to face two opponents at once.


    Although all the members of the Dragon Gate Escort Office practiced martial arts, they were not experts in martial arts. One against two, one against three.


    The man holding the spear shouted angrily when he saw this: "Bao Qi! The Longmen Escort Office has treated you quite well, yet you do not miss your old friendship, colluded with outsiders, and looted their goods.


    The man with the knife who didn''t love to talk was actually called Bao Qi.


    He said, "Hmph, if we go there, we will get 100 taels of silver from the escort company, but it would only be 100 taels of silver. Now that the old Sect Master is old, do you know why even that hasty young Sect Master has to go out and take darts this time? "The old head has already made his preparations. The escort company will pass it to the young head, who is a foppish young lord. Is he worth it for me to swear loyalty to him?"


    Blades danced unceasingly as they clashed with the spear. Sparks flew in all directions as the clanging sounds rang incessantly. In an instant, the two of them had exchanged more than ten moves. It''s true, the son of the old Sect Leader is not worth such a loyal person like you. You have great martial arts, this time, as long as you cut off this dart with me, even if you go up the mountain, you will at least be handed over the chair for the third time.


    The spear trembled as he cursed, "Shut up, you bastard! You don''t even know your own dog! How did the old head treat me? You actually dare to do such a thing! Your father will definitely not allow you to live any longer! "


    Then, the spear''s strength became even more violent, and the spear''s arc became smooth and smooth. It had a profound meaning of unparalleled, like a demon that could not be taken seriously.


    After another 30 moves, he took out the short halberd from his bag and threw it out with all of his strength. The short halberd was as fast and violent as thunder, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived.


    He shouted angrily, "Bastard, go to hell!" He was so angry that he attacked with 120% of his true power.

 C18

    When Bao Qi saw this, he would rather give up on resisting the short halberd, and let it pass through his body. However, he had to dodge the might of this spear, rolling to the side in a sorry state, he scolded, "Lin Zhihui, don''t think of your old friendship, just kill me!?"


    The short halberd pierced his abdomen, causing blood to trickle down.


    Lin Zhiren was even more infuriated when he heard him speak like this, "You have the nerve to mention your old relationship! Are you even worthy? Do you remember your old relationship!? " The long spear swept out from the ground and struck Bao Qi''s body, sending him flying backwards. Lin Zhi was determined to kill him, so he immediately threw out a short halberd, stabbing straight into his heart.


    Bao Qi used the astral blade with all his might to send the incoming short halberd flying, but under the force of the gravity from the short halberd, his body flew out a few meters again. Before he landed on the ground, Lin Zhi shouted, "Go and die! I hate people who betray me the most in my life, it''s not like you don''t know my temper! Why are you doing this! "Why!?" As he spoke, he threw out a short halberd with all his might.


    Let them go and let them go? There would be no hesitation in this battle. Whoever died would have to die!


    Bao Qi''s blade technique was not bad, but from start to finish, he had never thought about killing Lin Zhihui. On the other hand, he was using his full strength. Every move was a fatal killing move.


    The short halberd brought with it the power to soar to the heavens as it pierced straight through Bao Qi''s heart.


    Lin Zhihui''s face was tear-stained. Why did he betray his elder brother? Why? Is it just because his son is a loser? Then why did you come with me? Don''t you know that I hate betrayal the most?


    Ten years ago, why did that person betray me?


    Lin Zhi threw his head back and laughed, "Come, come! Today, all of you will die! As long as I have breath! "All of you, die!"


    On the other hand.


    When Nie Laihong shouted, "The Dragon Gate Security Office will not lose their darts!" After that, he flew forward and faced an expert from the opposite side.


    Cardinal also acted at the same time. With Hengjian in front, he directly went to look for the person in front of him. This was because he could feel from his aura that he was the strongest out of the 150 people present.


    After slashing out with his sword, the leader of the group had no choice but to wait. Seeing that the person was a little over 20 years old, he laughed loudly and said, "Ignorant little kid, how dare you block me. Besides that Lin Zhiren, you guys have no other enemies."


    Cardinal was the calmest and most quick-witted when facing his enemies. This was the foundation left behind after many years of practicing the art of assassination. It was the basis of victory.


    That person had just finished speaking when Cardinal raised his longsword slanted. His Qi circulated and circled around the longsword, creating a layer of misty mist.


    The sword stabbed forward. It was not gaudy, nor did it have any gorgeous sword moves.


    Sword moves were not considered brilliant. Even those who had not practiced martial arts could stab out with such a sword. It was only the accumulated might of the sword that was released afterwards. Although there were no sword moves, it still possessed a true destructive power. The sword''s aura was like a hot knife through butter.


    That person felt disdain in his heart when he saw the other party make such a move. ''You want to stab me like that?''


    The sword''s momentum became more and more violent. The power of the sword stabbing forward was definitely not inferior to Lin Zhi''s spear with 120% of his strength.


    The person in the lead was a bit overconfident. He stretched out his right hand in preparation to pat the sword edge horizontally. He wanted the sword edge to change directions and avoid the sword edge.


    However, the moment he attacked, he was drenched in blood. His right hand was already crippled, and his injuries were horrifying.


    How could Cardinal care so much? Without saying anything further, the edge of the sword tilted, leaving behind a white streak wherever it passed.


    The leader of the group used his movement technique and fell backwards. But with how fast Cardinal was, he simply couldn''t dodge in time. His sword slashed across the air, causing blood to splash out.


    Two sword strikes, in a mere two strikes, had taken the life of this person.


    This was the first time that Cardinal had used his sword to confront an enemy head-on. He discovered that the sword intent was very similar to his own way of assassinating. Assassination focused on speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. This time, he was going to take someone''s life.


    The Dao of the Sword was divided into sword-arts and sword-intent.


    Cardinal did not have a foundation for sword arts, but his sword was a sword that went straight to the heart. The path he practiced was the path of killing, and the sword he used was also the sword of killing. The sharpness of the sword intent was not much less than someone who trained in the way of the sword.


    After Cardinal Cheng killed this person, he looked at the entire situation. Everyone was being attacked by the escort from the Dragon Gate Escort Office, and a few of them had even been wounded.


    The female escort was being attacked by two people and was in a dangerous situation. However, with her movement and qinggong, she was able to dodge every attack. She was as agile as a nimble kitten.


    However, it was not just a little kitten. It would occasionally give its opponent a surprise attack while dodging. If there was only one person, he would probably be able to defeat or even kill that person.


    But now, two people were besieging one person, making it seem like a completely different situation.


    Cardinal immediately rushed over, and seeing that the two''s attention was completely focused on the female escort, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.


    Even that opponent who had not been distracted had not taken two sword strikes under the attack of the Cardinal. What''s more, these two people were completely attracted to the escort?


    Cardinal moved like a ghost, silently approaching. By the time the two of them realized what was happening, a sword had already pierced through them, piercing through their hearts.


    That person had an expression of shock as well as an expression as if he wanted to say something, but he didn''t have the chance to finish his last words.


    The expression of shock became the last one in his life.


    Seeing one of his companions die instantly, he had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to retreat, he pulled away and made a plan.


    However, his intentions were simultaneously discovered by the escort and the emperor.


    You still want to leave now?


    Cardinal drew his sword, the blood on the sword already staining the blade red. The blood flowed down the blade and dripped onto the ground, as beautiful as a blooming flower in the rain.


    The female escort was extremely skilled. She rushed forward and the sword in her hand trembled as she chopped at the man''s neck.


    That person was shocked. This, what should he do?


    When you were facing the enemy, when you had that thought, you were already dead.


    The female escort swung her sword and cut off a large part of the man''s neck. If she had used any more strength, she would have separated her head from his body. But now, the miserable state of the head was similar to the separation of a person''s head. The head and neck were only connected by a few cartilage tissues and the spine.


    Cardinal was forced to kill rabbits by his teacher at the age of twelve.


    Fourteen years old and forced to kill an ox.


    The only time she took him out at the age of fifteen was to teach him how to kill people. She even left one for him to take care of himself.


    He still remembered that day when that person begged him, kowtowing to him nonstop and admitting his mistake in regret. Cardinal never dared to kill, ah, that was a living thing. Cardinal had always been holding onto his dagger, not daring to do so, nor did he want to do so.


    The man wanted to run, but his master made a move, his knife cutting the tendons in his leg. The man couldn''t run, but his screams became louder and his struggles became stronger. This emotion had also infected the Cardinal, who was also very afraid of killing people. The hand holding the knife trembled. He helplessly looked towards his master, hoping that his master would let him go.


    However, his teacher didn''t say anything, only glaring angrily at Cardinal.


    He closed his eyes and stabbed at it with all his might.


    However, his master acted and stopped him. Cardinal Cheng asked excitedly, "Master, are you planning on letting him go? You don''t want to kill him? "


    The master shook his head and said to him, "Open your eyes and watch him die. This is your fate, the fate you cannot escape."


    He tried his best to open his eyes, and then stabbed the body of the person. Blood covered his hands. The blood was hot, scalding hot.


    After he stabbed that knife into the ground, he collapsed and sat on the ground, watching as that person''s life force slowly faded away.


    The strength of the blade was not enough. That person did not die immediately. Instead, he began to struggle harder.


    "Ahhh! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die ¡­"


    His master did not move, nor did he. Even if he wanted to, he could not move.


    Fear, the fear of killing, the helplessness, the helplessness in his heart.


    For the next year, whenever he thought of those scenes, he felt sick and wanted to vomit. He would tremble.


    Fortunately, as time passed, the life that was taken away became more and more numb.


    At 18 years old, he had taken away two more lives, but there was no longer any fear.


    Twenty years old and already a weakling.


    Personally going to the Jin Residence to assassinate the Prefect had also become an easy task, and it had been done in one go.


    He was already used to blood and corpses.


    But this was also the place where he was at a loss. Why do people want to kill people?

 C19

    When the female escort saw that Cardinal had reached out and killed a person, her image of him had greatly changed. She immediately removed the danger in her heart. So it turned out that the Young Sect Master had brought along a very, very strong expert.


    He had thought that this kind of Young Clan Master would not have any decent helpers; at most, he was only a third-rate expert.


    Who would have thought? One strike, one sword.


    Just as he wanted to thank Cardinal, he saw that Cardinal had already flown to another group. He could only suppress the words of thanks he was about to say, and also joined in to help his small escort team from the Dragon''s Escort Association to kill the bandits.


    At this time, Lin Zhiren had just finished his battle with Bao Qi, and was about to go to the other battle groups to lend a helping hand.


    The man resting with his eyes closed was also a taciturn person. In the past ten days, he had never said a single word to Cardinal. Even his own escort from the Dragon Gate Escort Office liked to ignore him.


    However, when he made his move now, a single secret weapon had allowed him to reach the acme of perfection. The two darts were like living creatures beside him, while the two darts were like two poisonous snakes swimming around his body.


    The other group was slightly weaker. One of the eight bodyguards, the one with the sledgehammer, had already been killed by two people.


    The first of the eight bodyguards to die.


    Although Cardinal helped the escort two more times, he was still unable to rescue her. However, he still did his best to go back and save her. It seemed that the mace was about to die.


    He had blood in his mouth that made him salivate. Seeing that Cardinal had flown over, he opened his mouth and smiled, coughing up a mouthful of blood. "I''ll leave these two bandits to you."


    At this time, Lin Zhi also returned. "Old Yu, Old Yu, stop talking. Stop talking. "Don''t go back on your words. You''re not allowed to die, you''re not allowed to die." Then, he hugged the body of the person who wielded the sledgehammer and placed it on his knees. As he spoke, tears also began to flow from his eyes.


    He was extremely popular in the Dragon Gate Escort Office and was very straightforward. It was as if he had smiled and came over to greet him the first time he saw him, as if he was the first one to greet him. It seemed that it was also because of him that the rest of the Escorts had slowly become familiar with him.


    He coughed out another mouthful of blood after receiving the fatal wound, and said in an intermittent voice, "The wine, I might not be able to drink anymore. You, you, you, avenge me, take revenge, take revenge, take revenge." With that, he lowered his hands and died.


    Lin Zhiren''s aura seemed to have changed. He wiped away his tears and turned around. Today, he would kill the both of you!


    However, that person didn''t see it right. Out of the ten or so experts on his side, only seven remained. The leader of the group, as well as the person behind Cardinal to save the situation, had already killed a total of four experts. The escort killed one more, and Lin Zhi-hui killed Nei Yin-bao, and the escort with the double dart held back two of his brothers.


    This time, the advantage was gone. Although he still had a lot of underlings on his side, who would be a general when the escort was free?


    He made a prompt decision and shouted, "The boss is dead and we''ve lost a lot of brothers. Fuck, this Bao Qi really deserves to die. The Longmen Escort Office has so many powerful helpers, yet they didn''t say anything and caused us to come here for nothing. We deserve to die." With that, he shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"


    He then led his men and fled out of the forest. When the rest of the people saw this scene, they also started to retreat. Many of those who were still surrounding and attacking the escort from the Longmen Escort Office also started to leave.


    For a moment, it approached menacingly, then it retreated like the tide.


    That Lin Zhiren had just vowed to kill the two of them, so how could he be willing to let them go?


    He hurriedly chased after the thief and yelled, "Where are you going, thief?!"


    Nie Laihong''s opponent wanted to retreat, but he was trapped in the middle by the escort, and couldn''t stop regretting his decision. They had originally thought that the young master of the Dragon Gate Escort Office was a soft persimmon, but who would have thought that his punches would be so fierce? Not only did he fail to take them down, he was now being attacked instead.


    Cardinal hesitated for a moment, then lifted his sword and followed Lin Zhi.


    Cardinal Qing Gong was unparalleled in this world, otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to travel eight hundred li in a single breath.


    Cardinal was the first to arrive after catching up to Lin Zhi and returning. Lin Zhi inwardly exclaimed in admiration. The younger generation now truly had a hero emerging. The rising waves pushed forward and the previous waves died on the beach.


    Cardinal knew Lin Zhi wanted to kill those two, so he quickly found them among the crowd. He swept his sword across the sea of people, stabbing towards the back of one of them.


    The man was on the horse, and in order to dodge the sword, he kicked the horse and used the horse as a shield. Cardinal Cheng knew that he was not a sword master, so it would be impossible for him to kill the man while piercing through the horse.


    He turned his body 360 degrees and with zhenqi in his legs, he kicked the horse. The horse was kicked to another person''s horse. The two horses collided and the horse flipped over.


    Although Cardinal did not kill them, he still prevented them from escaping.


    After the two men''s horses were killed, they had no choice but to stop and face the Cardinal.


    Leaving his back to the enemy was always the fastest way to die.


    The two people shouted, "Everyone come here, gather the strength of the seven of us and kill these two idiots. How dare you chase them?"


    Then, one of the five people replied, "Do you really f * cking take us for idiots? That Lin Zhiren is able to fight back against two people at least. This little brother might even fight against three people, and the one who has this grudge is you, what does that have to do with me! " After that, he led his men and continued to rush over. He was actually not loyal at all.


    How much is it worth if you lose your life?" Having been a bandit for so many years, even though Liang Shan was a true hero and a true hero, what about the truth? In the face of a great calamity, you know that you are not really your brother.


    The two saw their actions, and felt somewhat helpless. They immediately looked at each other. Today should be the day we die here. "


    Another person said, "Yes."


    As he spoke, Lin Zhi had already returned. Cardinal also took up his sword and waited by the side for Lin Zhi to return.


    Two against two.


    However, the two of them had no chance of winning.


    "In this life, the two of us will die together. Do you regret it?" One of them laughed.


    "I don''t regret it at all. Remember when we went up the mountain, the two of us said that we wanted to snatch ten of their wives. Who knows, so far, only seven of them have been taken? But you are even worse, only four." One of them seemed to be unaware of the impending doom as he spoke to himself.


    Seeing that Lin Zhiren and Cardinal had already prepared to make their move, the two looked at each other.


    "Please die with me."


    "If you don''t die, I''ll let you down. But maybe we can beat them. "


    As they spoke, each of them flew towards the other.


    They would all die together.


    If Cardinal did not hear what they said, then what did it matter if he did? Was it not enough to kill seven of their wives? Not to mention, how many people had been harmed by the path cut business for so many years?


    Grasping the hilt of my sword, I have fulfilled my wish for Lin Zhi.


    Lin Zhi turned his head and saw the two of them returning to battle. He was overjoyed. Then please go to hell. " Old Yu, I should still be able to complete your deathbed request.


    If I let them escape, where can I find two people I don''t know to take revenge when the world is so big?

 C20

    Cardinal Cheng flew up to her, but he was still as unadorned as ever.


    To tell the truth, he hadn''t practiced swordsmanship. Even if he wanted to be gorgeous, he couldn''t be gorgeous.


    Only the moves were direct stabs, oblique slashes, and vertical slashes. If he were to use more moves, even if he wanted to, he wouldn''t be able to do anything about it.


    When Lin Zhi returned, he was even more interested. He held a long spear in his hand like a dragon, and his short halberd was like a sprinting wolf. His long spear looked like it was attached to his body, in short, he commanded it like an arm.


    He had used three sword strikes to deal with this man.


    There was nothing flashy about it. It all depended on how fast he was, how fierce his sword attack was, and how ruthless his moves were.


    The first sword slashed diagonally, and that person dodged to the side, and not only did he dodge, he also slashed with the long blade in his hand, and just as he was about to cut, the Cardinal''s movement was like a ghost. After he dodged, the second sword struck out, but the second sword struck diagonally, but the attack was faster and fiercer, and the distance was even closer.


    That person had no choice but to use his blade to block the attack. However, his attack was too fast and violent. Even though he managed to block the sword attack, he had suffered a heavy injury and his blade had slipped out of his hand.


    The third strike of the Cardinal''s sword went straight to the point. A single sword pierced through the throat, and a light flash of blood followed. A bloody wound appeared on his neck.


    If one did not look at the wound carefully, it appeared that there was no wound. This strike was a variation of the technique he usually used to kill with the Soul Absorbing Blade. The sword was longer than the blade, but not as fierce as the blade.


    However, he still ended him with a single slash.


    Cardinal Cheng saw Lin Zhiren fight with that person.


    The more Lin Zhi fought back, the fiercer his spear became. When Cardinal saw that his opponent had been defeated, it was only a matter of time.


    Thus, Zhu Cheng decided to simply watch from the sidelines. If he killed them all, how would he take revenge? What was Lin Zhixin''s purpose in chasing after him?


    If that was the case, Lin Zhi would probably be confused.


    Sometimes, people do certain things just for peace of mind.


    Lin Zhi shouted, "Thunder Break Spear!" This move was formed from the three stages of the move in one breath. The long spear first smashed into the ground, then swept out and stabbed out in a circular motion.


    That person was at the end of his road after being hit by this move. But until the last moment, how could he give up? Sometimes, one had to die, and other times, one chose to die.


    The man slashed himself, even though he was injured.


    The saber was as fast as the wind. As the saber slashed down, the spear that Lin Zhiren had used to retreat actually seemed like it was going to fall back at any moment. A grand saber strike that was incomparably domineering.


    The sword was the most righteous weapon out of all the weapons, and the saber only killed the most. Furthermore, the blade technique was unrestrained. All one had to do was to be vicious.


    The long spear was famous for its righteousness, killing less than the saber, and being more domineering than the sword.


    Lin Zhiren was truly worthy of being a martial arts master. He thrust his long spear forward, and with his other hand, he took out his short halberd to block the blade. However, the short halberd broke and the blade cut his body, causing blood to flow.


    After that man''s knife attack, he was sent flying three meters away and firmly nailed to the ground. He was as dead as he could be.


    With the help of the short halberd, the sabre''s aura might be fierce, but the sabre art it possessed was magnificent and domineering. However, he did not let Lin Zhi know that he had been injured.


    Lin Zhi sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his Qi.


    His hands connected as he sealed his acupoints. Stop the bleeding.


    When Cardinal saw this, he channeled a mouthful of true qi towards Lin Zhihui.


    Lin Zhiren''s face became even redder. As long as he rested for half a month, he would definitely be able to recover to his original state.


    Lin knew that he had avenged Old Yu, and his heart was filled with joy. Old Yu, I will not disappoint you.


    As he thought about the way he looked at Cardinal Li, his eyes seemed to contain a hint of gratitude.


    Lin Zhiren replied, "Thank you, little brother, for your help." Just a moment ago, Lin Zhiren had been focused on battling, but he had not realized that the person opposite him had already been killed by the Cardinal.


    He continued, "I, Lin Ming, know that I will definitely repay the kindness that little brother has shown me today."


    "It''s just a small matter, nothing to worry about. I already had an appointment with the Young Clan Master, so I should help you with it. Moreover, Brother Lin''s spear skills are incomparably fierce, I''ve benefited a great deal from it, ah."


    Lin Ming wanted to return the favor, but the Cardinal instead said, "Let''s hurry up and go back, lest we fall into someone else''s trap of luring us out of the mountain. If we throw our darts there''s no use in killing them."


    Lin Zhihui suddenly realized something, he slapped his thigh and said, "Right, right, hurry up and go back. Little brother is very meticulous, it''s still reasonable for Little Brother to say that."


    That was the reason for his hesitation earlier on. If he lost his dart, then what was the point in killing so many people? But then he thought, if I don''t help him, Lin Zhi will definitely die.


    He immediately flew back.


    The darts were still in good condition, but out of the forty to fifty people who had departed, only twenty-one were left. Apart from the five escort teams, most of the dart protection teams had been killed.


    Everyone was sitting on the ground, recovering from their injuries.


    An expert had died at the young sect master''s feet, the one who had been left behind by the female escort and Nie Laihong.


    Those who suffered light injuries were all treated with medicine, and those who were severely injured were treated with a knife.


    Lin Zhi looked back at the escort and saw that it was fine. He also went to apply medicine to the wound on his blade.


    Nie Laihong wasn''t hurt, but right now he was in a trance and looked extremely depressed.


    Large tears fell.


    Even though he had personally killed an expert, he wasn''t happy. Even if his martial arts had proved that he wasn''t just for show, he still wouldn''t be happy in the slightest. Even though he had verified that he was not a complete second generation ancestor and was not a good-for-nothing, he still did not feel any joy.


    A lot of people had died today, and these people were together day and night. These people were the future members of the Dragon Gate Security Office. What made him even more sad was that these people died because of him!


    He suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry everyone, I''m sorry, it''s all because of me, it''s all because of me! If I wasn''t a playboy, Bao Qi wouldn''t have betrayed the conspiracy right? If I practiced some martial arts, I could probably save a few more people ¡­"


    As he spoke, his tears fell like rain, and he sobbed uncontrollably.


    "It''s all my fault, it''s all my fault." He was still muttering to himself.


    At this time, Lin Zhi returned, "Nothing, this is all Bao Qi''s fault. If it wasn''t for this dog thief''s conspiracy, and if he didn''t betray us, we wouldn''t have lost so many brothers! It has nothing to do with the young sect master ah. As long as you are the son of the old sect master, you will have the qualifications to inherit this Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    The silent man with the double dart said, "Me too."


    The female escort also said, "Me too."


    The others all said, "Me too!"


    Tears welled up in the young sect master''s eyes and he burst into tears.


    The Young Sect Master of the Longmen Escort Office? What was the use of this? Would he be able to squander his money when his old man came down?


    There were eighteen bodyguards in the escort company, all of whom were his father''s sworn brothers. Both supported and trusted each other, which was why the present Longmen Escort Office existed.


    But what about himself? Eighteen bodyguards, which one of them didn''t look like a straw bag? Which one of them had a bit of trust?


    And how many brothers could he entrust? I''m afraid there aren''t any.


    Bao Qi was just a microcosm of them, and Bao Qi only felt that he was no match for them.


    The young clan leader cried out, "I''m sorry! "My apologies to all of my brothers who died today. I hereby swear that if Nie Laihong doesn''t die, the Dragon Gate Escort Office will not let go!"


    I''m sorry, but every escort in the escort office has to struggle to keep up.


    I''m sorry, father of martial arts.


    I''m sorry for the twenty years I spent.

 C21

    Cardinal and the others tidied up their belongings. After resting for a moment, they prepared to leave. After a great battle, the area was littered with the corpses of wolves, and the ground was dyed red with their blood.


    They could not stay here for long. This was the common voice in their hearts.


    Nie Laihong was just about to tell everyone to enter the village to rest, but he felt that it wasn''t right. He believed that only after reaching the big city would they be able to rest and rest, because he didn''t know if there were still another group of bandits nearby, or if those people had just returned.


    Thus, Cardinal and the others only bought dry food and water before leaving the small village.


    There was no rest along the way, but because everyone was injured, their walking speed had decreased a lot. There were also fewer people, but the number of escort remained unchanged. Compared to that, the team was not strong and their morale was low.


    Nie Laihong had a worried expression on his face. Right now, the escort team was exhausted. Other than Cardinal, himself, and the female escort team, the rest were all more or less injured.


    Now he really needed to think about it carefully. It would be better if he entered a big city, but what if he was robbed in a small village or on the road? What would he do then?


    Nie Laihong couldn''t help laughing bitterly. It seemed that he was not very lucky to have met with such an accident after taking his first dart step. He recalled what Bao Qi had said before, each word deeply stabbing into his heart.


    "The old sect leader is old. Do you know why even that hasty young sect master has to go out and take darts this time?" "The old head has already made his preparations. The escort company will pass it to the young head, who is a foppish young lord. Is he worth it for me to swear loyalty to him?" These words were said by Bao Qi to Lin Zhiren, but were spoken into Nie Laihong''s heart.


    Nie Laihong clenched his fists so tightly that even his knuckles had turned blue. He then loosened his fist and let out a sigh.


    Since my previous self was trash, I would truly be able to accomplish it in the future. I won''t let that happen again.


    Dragon Gate Escort Office, I must be responsible.


    Cardinal rode along the perimeter of the escort, watching for movement. As long as there was movement, he would be able to react quickly.


    Everyone was wounded. If he did not take precautions and the Dragon Gate Escort Office was taken away by someone, then he would be disloyal, Cardinal Cheng thought to himself.


    Just as he was thinking, the escort arrived at his side and said, "Young Hero''s kung fu is good. You didn''t even have time to thank me for saving my life last time. Young Hero, accept my respect. " As he said this, he cupped his hands together. "Thank you."


    "Right, my name is Jian Ruan." Before turning to leave, he added.


    "I remember your name. After all, you are one of the few female bodyguards in the escort company."


    The woman laughed. "You remember my name, but I don''t remember yours."


    Huanzhi honestly recited the name.


    "Young Hero, you really don''t know how to get along." He turned around and rode to the other side of the escort team.


    The four of them formed a horned formation to protect the escort team.


    He had been very careful along the way. Now, not only was he afraid of the tiger, but he also had to be careful of the jackal that smelled blood.


    The tigers were naturally the ones who wanted to snatch the darts, or the large and powerful bandits.


    The jackals were the small hills or groups of small bandits who had been inspired by wealth.


    Cardinal Cheng guarded the escort team and did not sleep even at night. He didn''t even bother to close his eyes.


    In reality, he had only agreed to go with the dart, so why did he have to do this? Even if it was all destroyed, as long as the dart was taken, the agreement should have been fulfilled.


    But Cardinal doesn''t think so. His darts are darts that send you where you want to go, so that people and goods will be as safe as possible.


    Cardinal stayed up late into the night, and in order to not attract attention, there were even fewer bonfires. The remaining twenty-one people crowded around the bonfires, carefully protecting the goods.


    Originally, Cardinal wanted them to rest, but Nie Laihong felt that something wasn''t right. He insisted that the several lightly injured members of the Dragon Gate escort company should also be on duty.


    The night wind blew past, bringing a refreshing feeling. The stars in the sky were densely packed, as if they had scattered specks of light on a black curtain.


    Cardinal saw the brightest star in the sky. "Master, are you looking at me?"


    The night was tranquil, and after tonight, he would be able to enter the city.


    It was a big city, Yan City.


    Cardinal wrapped his arms around his longsword as he surveyed his surroundings. He didn''t relax for even a moment. "Today, I am the gatekeeper of your Dragon Gate Escort Office."


    Whether it was the evil spirits or evil spirits, the jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, or fierce tigers coming down the mountain.


    As long as you come, I will make sure that none of you will be able to return.


    Cardinal Cheng looked around cautiously.


    However, Jian Ran suddenly walked over. Looking at him, the expression in his eyes was frightening.


    "What? What?" Jane was shocked.


    Cardinal immediately said, "I''m fine. Why did you suddenly walk over? You''re really scary, you scared me."


    "Haha, could it be that you''re afraid of ghosts, Young Hero?"


    "What''s there to be afraid of? Come and kill one!"


    Jane as Infinite playfully said, "Is that so? Young Hero sure is impressive." "However, isn''t your killing intent a bit too strong? Killing people everyday would really be a waste of your handsome face."


    Cardinal frowned. "Sis Jane, if there''s nothing else, please don''t disturb me. I want to rest."


    Jane didn''t seem to think he would say that.


    "How can you be like this? It''s boring on night duty, so I came to talk to you, but you treat me like this." Jane was also a bit angry, but at the same time, she was also a bit sad.


    I''ve been around for so many years, but I''ve never been with anyone. This time, this person saved my life, and I originally had some good feelings towards him. However, looking at his attitude, it seems that he really despised me.


    It wasn''t that Cardinal disliked her. But right now, he really didn''t want to chat with anyone else.


    Cardinal Cheng said helplessly, "It''s not that I don''t want to chat with Sister Jane, it''s just that I''m anxious ¡­"


    He hurried in the direction Jane had come from.


    "I''ll go and relieve myself. I''ll be back in a bit!"


    Jane could see that he was acting this way, as if it were true. He couldn''t help but find it funny. So it was because of some internal conflict.


    So it wasn''t because he hated her.


    Jane thought so.


    Although Jane Rumian was a escort, she was indeed a escort with a sword. She wasn''t someone who held a sledgehammer, nor someone who held a axe.


    Even when facing an enemy, he had to rely on his lightness skills and gently danced like a butterfly. Even when he used his sword to kill, it was still elegant and precise.


    There was not the slightest bit of ruthlessness or viciousness in his moves. There were rules to follow, and it was like a dance of swords, where one held a treasured sword and danced about, looking extremely beautiful. Moreover, it was as simple as twenty to ninety years old, some of them still had the charm of a mature woman.


    Seeing that the Cardinal had hurriedly rushed out, he laughed in his heart, "Looks like he really is in a hurry. No wonder he doesn''t want to talk much with others."


    Imagine if you were holding back a piss, or trying to solve a big number, and someone came to pester you and say they wanted to chat. What would you think?

 C22

    Seeing that he was about to leave the line of sight of the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Office, he hastily rushed over and leapt onto a tree. Then, he drew his Soul Search Blade.


    Cardinal Cheng used his heart to feel their auras. There were a total of six people, but it seemed like there were only six. There were no more.


    Cardinal was not in a hurry to make a move, instead, he carefully examined and felt the Qi around him.


    Cardinal was not completely sure either.


    In the martial arts world, everyone practiced inner force. Some people called him Zhen Qi, some called him inner force, some called him Zhen Qi, but they were all the same thing, stored in your body.


    Every person with inner strength would have Qi on them. Those with strong martial arts could easily feel the Qi of others. They could even use it to determine who was stronger and who was weaker.


    Martial arts cultivators could sense each other''s Qi. When the opponent used inner force, they could also feel the other''s Qi. When the opponent attacked, they could also feel the other''s Qi.


    Powerful people could see the strength of their opponents'' martial arts through their Qi. Even more powerful people could sense the Qi of others from far away.


    That was why his master had told him that assassinating a martial arts expert and an official of the imperial government was much more difficult than assassinating an ordinary person.


    However, there were two things you couldn''t sense from the person on the other side. First, this person didn''t have any internal energy at all. Second, this person''s inner force cultivation is far above yours, so you won''t be able to feel his inner force unless he intentionally releases it himself.


    In fact, there was a third method, which was called the Cardinal''s Turtle Aura Technique, which restrained one''s Qi to its lowest. Even a detailed investigation might not be noticed. If one was careless, it would be even more impossible to sense.


    Cardinal Cheng silently felt their energy.


    The aura gradually grew closer. When they were only one mile away, the Cardinal could already see them with his eyes.


    Cardinal floated down from the tree like a ghost. As a gust of wind blew past, one of the six people was killed before he could react.


    But he hadn''t fallen yet, and he still maintained his standing position.


    This move was given to him by his master. When a person was killed at an extremely fast speed, the brain would not be able to react. The control of the body was controlled by the cerebellum and also by the spinal cord. As long as he was killed instantly, he would remain in his original position until his brain reacted. Only then would he collapse and cough out blood.


    Without a sound, one of them had already died.


    The reason why Cardinal felt uncertain was mainly because he was afraid that there would be more true experts hiding their auras behind the scenes. If he suddenly attacked, he was also afraid of saying something.


    However, this time his luck seemed to be good.


    After walking for about ten meters, the five discovered that no one was following them.


    What''s going on? Sixth brother, hurry up, the Dragon Gate Escort Office is already exhausted, the six of us will work hand in hand so that they can experience the six mysterious things'' wrists. When the time comes, we can cut off the darts and obtain what the Second Prince wants.


    As he said this, he walked over, and another wave of cold wind blew by. The person who spoke also stood there motionlessly.


    "Ol ''Five, what''s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly standing still? We''re all waiting for you!" As he spoke, he also walked over, preparing to pat that fifth brother''s back.


    However, another wave of cold wind blew past.


    That person also stopped moving.


    Then, the remaining three people were shocked, "Something''s wrong, everyone be careful." There is an expert! "


    Then he looked around and saw no one. The three men stood like scarecrows in the night, unmoving.


    Of course, those gusts of cold wind were all caused by Cardinal. He was incomparably fast, and that wind was the chain reaction he had brought with him.


    The three of them huddled together, "Well, no matter what the situation is, do not try to play tricks on me!" We are the six mysterious monsters. May I ask for your name? "


    Cardinal changed his position and said, "Me? Mhmm ¡­ I didn''t think of what to call it, what to do? "What should I tell you about my name?"


    As he spoke, he shifted positions. It was as if he was receiving replies from all directions from the deep darkness.


    Just as he finished his sentence, he called out, "Third Bro, be careful!"


    He shouted loudly, only to see that the third brother''s throat had been slashed open, and his blood gushed out like a spring as he fell to the ground with a loud thud.


    That person finally saw clearly, a absent-minded shadow, waving the blade in his hand, chopping down, but it was not there, and yet he could see the shadow of another place, and then chopping down again, it was like he had cut down an illusion, there was not even a shadow!


    Right at this moment, Fourth Bro let out a "Ah!" and followed by "Second Bro". Fourth Bro was already dead. Out of the six mysterious monsters, he was the only one left.


    At this moment, the sixth brother who had died first fell.


    His body fell to the ground in the darkness of the silent night.


    The sound was especially loud.


    "Boom!"


    After his body fell to the ground, that person was extremely angry, "If you have the ability, fight openly!" Hiding away is no hero! "


    Cardinal seemed to still be pondering over his name.


    He disappeared into the night.


    "Boom! Boom!" Another two people fell. "Fifth brother!"


    They died as dead as they could be. In fact, they had all died long ago, but they only fell down now.


    "Why don''t I tell you? The one who killed the Sage at night is my master."


    That person was so shocked that he asked, "Do you kill saints at night?"


    "I haven''t decided on my name yet, nor have I thought about it. How about I just call for my life from today onwards?" Zhu Cheng said faintly.


    That person finally saw the somewhat handsome face of Cardinal Zhu Cheng, but first he saw a blade.


    The famous Soul Search Blade.


    He was finally able to clearly see that person''s appearance. He was very handsome, with fair skin, but his eyes were a bit cold. He was also a bit absent-minded, and did not have the vigor that a young person should have.


    He really was the disciple that killed saints at night. However, from the looks of it, he seemed more similar to Yi Tian, who was known as the Heavenly Slaughter sage.


    That person died just like that. The six mysterious monsters died just like that in this unknown forest.


    It may not be long before the corpses rot and no one will be able to recognize them.


    The Six Mystical Beasts were not yet known as the Six Mystical Mystery Demons.


    The six youths fought with each other in the inn, damaging many tables. The person opposite was from the Netherworld Sect, and he was extremely aggressive. Just because the six youths drank too much and spoke a little too loudly, he was about to kill them.


    At this time, the three of them had arrived. After a few questions, the sect disappeared from the martial arts world.


    At that time, he had seen the blade, as well as the person in the lead. He was righteous, and at the same time, he was murderous, which caused people to be shocked.


    At that time, the eyes of the six young men were filled with stars. It was a naked worship. It was an undisguised fanaticism.


    Because they heard the man say, "I can''t kill my sect by force. Your sect has committed many evil deeds. From today onwards, you all can either change your sect or leave it to me! Either die! "Choose."


    How tyrannical were the disciples of the Nether Sky Sect, "Die?" I''m afraid you will all have to die! "The experts of the Nether Sky Sect are as numerous as the clouds, and the three of you dare to provoke us?"


    That person said, "Then remember this. It is easy to be born with the Heavenly Path to kill saints. "The law of the heavens."


    "Killing saints at night, Ye Bufan, for the sake of the people!"


    "Di Xin killed the Sage, Yi Tian exterminated, except for Greed."


    That was about twenty-five years ago.


    At that time, he was twenty years old, and he had six brothers in his teens. At that moment, he also said to himself, "We will be like them in the future."


    But who knows? Why did the Mystical Six Heroes become the Mystical Six Monsters?


    Who knows?

 C23

    After finishing them off, he slowly walked towards the resting area of the Dragon Gate Escort Office.


    The person who wanted to take his life, hmm, this name was not bad. It had both killing intent and literary meaning.


    These people really did a good deed and gave him a good nickname.


    In his heart, he thought to himself, the dark of the moon and the winds of the night, it was indeed good to kill someone for their goods, hahaha, a pity, a pity, the person who wanted to take your life is here and you are still here to die, even if I don''t accept it I can''t blame myself.


    He was secretly happy and had a bit of a smile on his face. The female escort saw that he had gone back, so she immediately came to greet him.


    Seeing that he actually showed a smile for the first time, he asked curiously, "What''s wrong, what''s the matter? You look quite happy. "


    Of course, Cardinal would not tell her the truth. Otherwise, he would not have gone alone to look for those people.


    Firstly, he didn''t want to expose his assassination skill and secondly, he didn''t want to reduce the number of people in the Longmen Escort Office. Secondly, he didn''t want to reduce the number of people in the Longmen Escort Office.


    Then he laughed. "Me?" Happy? Is there? "


    Although Jane Rumian was twenty-nine years old, she seemed like a seventeen, eighteen-nineteen year old girl at the moment. She was the pure and cute type.


    As if he was pounding garlic, he said, "Yes, yes, definitely!"


    "Really?" Huzhu asked.


    That clear as day affirmative-sounding voice said, "Definitely, absolutely, definitely, 100%!"


    He pretended to be thinking, jokingly saying, "Mm, actually, I didn''t have any paper when I went to the toilet, but all of a sudden, a ball of paper fell to me from the sky. Do you think I''m worth being happy about?"


    That simple like Miaomiao used his hand to fan his nose, wrinkling his nose, "Hey, you can stop talking, it''s so disgusting."


    Jane really didn''t know what had happened to her.


    Normally, she definitely wouldn''t be like this.


    Not to mention the fact that this man had saved him.


    It was only his handsome face and his sorrowful temperament that attracted her from the gentleness of the last few days.


    She wasn''t sure what it felt like, but she did notice him the first day he came to the dart.


    She suddenly said, "You look pretty good when you laugh."


    Huai Cheng smiled and said, "Is that so?"


    "Yes, yes."


    Then he said, "You can laugh more in the future if you have the chance."


    Cardinal did not speak.


    So it turned out that he hadn''t been laughing all this time?


    "Alright," he replied.


    And then Jane said, "Well, you''re back. It''s already a quarter past three and you''re gone. "It''s been a quarter of an hour."


    "To where? What did you do for a quarter of an hour? " Cardinal asked.


    Jane''s face was a little red. It was unknown if it was the light of the fire or if it was really red.


    She said, "Go to the bathroom!"


    It was only then that Cardinal realized he had been gone for a quarter of an hour.


    Fifteen minutes. Six lives. One name.


    Zhu Cheng explained, "Mmm, I didn''t intentionally ignore you just now. I was truly in a hurry."


    Jane said, "I know. "Then I''ll go back and stand guard for the night. But to be honest, if I don''t say anything on the night watch, it would be really boring."


    Jane used to stay up all night to watch the escort, but this time she found it boring not to talk.


    She saw the look on his face as he looked up at the stars in the sky.


    Cardinal himself didn''t know how sorrowful he looked when he looked up at the starry sky.


    Cardinal began to hold his sword as he guarded his surroundings once more.


    He had kept the Soul Eating Blade long before, and kept it in his waist pouch at the deepest corner of his clothes.


    If it was said that Cardinal wasn''t very strong enough to use a sword in broad daylight against an enemy, he could not be considered the best in the world. However, in terms of assassination, assassination, concealment, and conceit, there was absolutely no one in the world who could surpass him, a lone killer.


    Another two hours passed, and it was already the fourth fragment of the night.


    Cardinal continued to hold his sword, guarding the surroundings, but he found a tree to lean on.


    It wasn''t because he was tired, but because he felt that this might be more handsome.


    Even though he had a blood feud, even though he had great martial arts skills, even though he was cold and calm.


    But sometimes he was naive.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have agreed to Nie Laihong''s invitation, and even more so, wouldn''t have said that he owed Nie Laihong a favor just because the waiter wanted to marry him.


    Although he had achieved the top spot, he was not considered a mature man.


    When Nie Laihong saw him, he walked to his side and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng. If it weren''t for you, the Longmen Escort Office would''ve been in for a disaster this time. Not only is the protection ineffective."


    After that, he bowed deeply and said, "This time, I, Nie Laihong, owe you a favor."


    Huai Cheng put down his sword and said, "No, no, no, Brother Nie, you don''t have to put it that way. I already said that if I go with you, I''ll send the escort safely to their destination. I''ll protect the life of the members of the Dragon Gate Escort Office." "It can''t be considered as a favor."


    At this time, Lin Zhiren, who had almost fully recovered, saw that the Young Sect Master and the Cardinal were discussing this matter. He also said, "Little brother Cardinal, your skills are powerful. If you hadn''t chased after him with me today, I probably wouldn''t have been able to take revenge for Old Yu."


    Then he also stood up and was about to bow to the Cardinal, but the latter quickly supported him and said, "Brother Lin, there is no need to be like this."


    Lin Zhiren did not insist. He cupped his fist and said, "Lin Zhi-ju, you must repay me for all my kindness and grudges." This time, it''s little brother Cardinal who helped me once. If you have the chance in the future to use my Lin Zhiren, feel free to tell me. "


    "No, no. Brother Lin, there is no need to worry. Brother Nie, you should also advise Brother Lin not to act like a stranger, there is no need to be like this."


    However, Nie Laihong said, "If you don''t let me owe you a favor, you won''t be able to hide from Elder Brother Lin."


    Then, he thought for a moment and said, "I saw that Brother Lin''s spear power was peerless and it seemed to be called the Thunder Spear. How about Brother Lin has the opportunity to teach me a few moves when you''re in the city?"


    Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Alright! Not to mention this Thunder Spear technique, I would be willing to teach you ten moves. "


    Cardinal Cheng also smiled and said, "Good, then it''s settled. I just happen to feel that I''m running out of tricks here."


    Nie Laihong laughed. "Brother Zhen, you''re really modest. Your Sword Art of Mount Hua is unrivalled. People say that Hua Shan''s internal energy is the most powerful. Now that we''ve met, it''s true."


    At this time, Jian Ru Miao also came over and interjected, "Yes, yes, yes. Little brother Cardinal''s sword intent is so powerful that even I, who practice the way of the sword, do not dare to compare with him. The Sword Intent of the Flowermont Sword Art is unrivalled in the world. It truly does live up to its name. "


    When Cardinal heard them all say this, he felt that he truly was a disciple of the Hua Shan Sect.


    However, they always said that the Hua Shan Sword Technique was unrivalled, and that they should be careful when settling debts.


    In the conversations, time is always faster than when a person is sitting down.


    However, he was not in a daze. When he was cultivating inner force, he was sitting by himself, and the time was faster than when he was talking.


    For example, when Lin Zhi returned and used his inner force to heal his wounds, he sat for eight hours straight.


    As for the person who used the Twin Chains, he was even more outstanding. He had been resting with his eyes closed for the past few days, and had not said a single other word.


    He had also been on guard by himself the entire time. While he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, he could also sense any movements in the surroundings.


    It was as if he could feel the gaze of the emperor himself as he smiled faintly.


    Cardinal Jin remembered that the only thing he had ever said seemed to be, "Me too."

 C24

    Just like this, Cardinal guarded the escort company for the entire night. However, in the latter half of the night, everyone slowly woke up. As they chatted and laughed together, it did not seem boring at all.


    However, the Cardinal still preferred the first half of the night.


    Perhaps, if he were to look at the starry sky quietly, he would feel slightly at peace.


    At daybreak, the people from the Longmen Escort Office hastened their journey as they reached the Yan City.


    As long as they rushed to the city and found an inn to stay in, they could finally have a good rest.


    The boat rolled.


    Although these four words were said simply, in reality, the feeling of fatigue was not covered. You would feel very tired after walking for a long distance, not only physically, but also mentally. However, if it was a short journey, he might be able to take a look at the beautiful scenery of the roadside. Traveling was like sightseeing and was extremely comfortable.


    But if a road goes far and the scenery is easily overlooked, it is not only because the road is so far away, perhaps the long journey has exhausted your enthusiasm, you will not only not be interested in the scenery along the way, you will also have an urgent desire to rest for a while.


    In the world, there were those who moved quickly, those who moved in haste, those who moved slowly, those who advanced, and those who retreated.


    Whether it was travelling, or practicing martial arts, or learning, or being an official, or doing business.


    You can''t push yourself too hard, and you can''t let yourself relax too much.


    If he was forced into a corner, he would be forced to go all out. If he wanted to be quick, he would not be able to make it.


    Relaxed, dispel the spirit, tomorrow to return to the next day, tomorrow is so many, I was born tomorrow, all things wasted.


    Cardinal had not slept for the entire night. Taking advantage of everyone waking up in the morning, he sat down on the ground and began to cultivate his internal energy for an hour.


    Cultivating inner strength was his daily mission and his habit.


    For the past twenty years, an old man had constantly warned him to not be disheartened and to not be abandoned. Who knew how many times he had listened to the story of how many times the pestle had been grinded into a needle.


    There were even times when he was beaten and scolded for not cultivating inner force.


    When he was eight or nine years old, he had been extremely confused.


    Why did he always have to meditate and cultivate? Why did he have to memorize the chants, practice movement techniques, and even saber techniques?


    He even cried with his master because of these matters, but every time he cried, he received even more strict training.


    It was as if begging was useless.


    Master never said why.


    He might even turn into a star and look at himself, to see if he is doing well, cultivating diligently, and doing things seriously.


    However, he could now understand a bit more. If he didn''t cultivate, he wouldn''t become stronger, and if he didn''t train, he wouldn''t become tenacious.


    Cardinal Cheng thought to himself.


    The journey was quite smooth. Under the broad daylight, there were fewer people looting the darts.


    In truth, as soon as they approached the city, they had to be safer.


    Within his own territory, if thieves ran rampant and there was a group of bandits around, then this official would soon reach his end.


    The ancients had their own way of saying things, and they didn''t hold back on their martial arts. This was no lie.


    Perhaps bandits and bandits might not care about a small village, but if it was near a city, they would still need to consider it.


    It was not only because he was afraid of the government, but also, as the saying goes, if you walk on your path, I will walk on my own path.


    It was a happy situation for both of them to have nothing to do with each other.


    The closer the people of Cardinal and the Dragon Gate Escort Office got to the city, the safer they would be.


    Nie Laihong said loudly, "We''re almost at the city. Everyone, be alert. Once we enter the city, it''ll be much better. I''ll ask someone to help us take care of this dart. There should be people from the government who are willing to accept it."


    After last night''s rest, the morale had increased a lot. Now that they heard that they were going to the city to rest, everyone was filled with motivation. Humans were like this. If there was hope, they would wholeheartedly work hard to follow it. If they did not see any hope, it would be better if they did not give up for a bit.


    Everyone shouted, "Alright!"


    Nie Laihong then walked over to the Cardinal''s side and said, "Brother Cheng, you didn''t sleep last night. You''ve done your best for my Longmen Escort Office. You''ll have to take a good rest when you get to the city."


    His tone was sincere and filled with gratitude.


    In fact, a martial artist''s physique far exceeded that of an ordinary person. If he were to decide not to sleep, it wouldn''t be too difficult for him to not sleep for ten nights.


    However, Huai Cheng didn''t reject Nie Laihong''s good intentions and said, "Brother Nie, it''s the same. Although it''s much safer inside the city, we can''t leave the escort company unguarded."


    Nie Laihong said, "You don''t have to worry too much about this. After I enter the city, I''ll find the Yan City Lord and ask him for a price. After that, I''ll ask him for some money and ask him for some food. But that shouldn''t be the case either. As the City Lord, you shouldn''t be able to do such a thing to ruin your own reputation. You just need to pay attention to those officers who haven''t had clean hands or feet. "


    "Since Brother Nie has already made the arrangements, then I won''t add anything. When the time comes, Brother Nie, take care of your own health and rest well," said Hucheng.


    Even before entering the city, he had already decided on what to do after entering it.


    It had to be said that Nie Laihong did things in a neat and orderly manner.


    After yesterday''s experience, she was now quite familiar with it.


    Seeing Nie Laihong and Cardinal talking, he also mounted his horse and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"


    Nie Laihong said, "I''ve been discussing with Brother Cheng about where we can go to drink wine and flowers after entering the city. After entering the city this time, we''ll reach Luoyang after a walk of three hundred li. We''ve suffered a lot of injuries."


    "Young Clan Lord, don''t forget what you said!"


    Then he rode away indignantly.


    That''s all Nie Laihong said. How could I not know?


    As long as they didn''t arrive at their destination, any careless move could cause their escort team to be doomed. Although Nie Laihong had told him everything about entering the city, he still didn''t let his guard down.


    After the morale of the Dragon Gate Escort Office rose, although everyone was still injured, there was less disappointment. This was the power of hope.


    People who walked in the desert, as long as their hearts had an oasis, they might be able to reach their destination and walk out of the desert.


    As the sky began to darken, a city came into view.


    Yan City.


    This was the second city the Cardinal had travelled to outside of the Shunjin Manor.


    Yan City was the capital of the former country of Yin. However, after the late emperor unified the country, he changed his name to Yan City.


    The towering city walls, despite having experienced countless hardships, were filled with an incomparably solemn, domineering aura.


    The city walls were over twenty meters tall, and there were patrolling soldiers on top of the walls.


    The torches on the city wall were slowly ignited, and as they approached the base of the city wall, they could feel the majestic city walls.


    There was a line in the past that wrote a poem in Yan City.


    Liu Yinghua along the banks of Yan City, and the young families outside Yan City. Wishing to climb the city wall to die for the king, willing to be the city guards corpse.


    However, with the invasion of Yan City, no one would be able to remember the unification of the world. Perhaps, there were still some survivors of Yan City who would remember it.


    "Halt, what are you doing? Entering the city in the middle of the night, is there any way to clear the level?" The two groups of soldiers all held long spears in their hands as they guarded the city gates.


    Seeing the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Office, he immediately asked them with a stern voice.

 C25

    Nie Laihong drove his horse forward. He cupped his hands and said, "We are from the Dragon Gate Security Office. Naturally, we have an ultimatum to clear this path. Little Fishy, quickly take out your clearing edict and let everyone take a look! "


    A person came out of the escort office with a piece of paper in his hand.


    Not only did that person give Guan Wen money, he also gave three taels of silver to the officials as he passed by them. He whispered, "Consider this as my Dragon Gate Escort Office buying wine for the officials to drink. I hope they will not mind the courtesy."


    When Cardinal saw his actions, he felt disdain in his heart. The corridor was just a corridor. Since he had already passed the first round of instructions, why did he need to do something like bribing?


    He walked past the city gates and entered Yan City by himself. Yan City was indeed a big city with a wide road and all the surrounding shops. However, under the orders of Nie Laihong, the Dragon Gate Escort Office headed straight for the city''s yamen.


    When Nie Laihong arrived at the yamen, it was already night. It was reasonable that there was no one there to guard the yamen. However, Nie Laihong was anxious to see the yamen people. After all, he had to settle matters with the government before he could relax.


    He alighted from his horse and went to the yamen, where he rang the gong for injustice.


    "Dong Dong Dong", "Dong Dong Dong", a few ear-splitting drumbeats, the yamen seemed to have come alive.


    Nie Laihong opened the yamen''s door and walked in.


    The yamen beat the drum to cry out injustice. Originally, it was meant to sound out injustice on behalf of the common people. However, at some point, the drum rang out and was about to pay. If the drum was struck without reason, it would also be a heavy crime.


    Nie Laihong was kneeling respectfully in the court.


    There was an Elder dressed in a green robe with a brush and ink stone in his hand, and behind him was an Elder dressed in a blue robe.


    He shouted, "Who are you and what do you want?"


    Nie Laihong was neither humble nor arrogant. He said, "My lord, no one can tell me, but I have a secret to tell."


    That Zhi Prefecture was clearly angry, "Tell me the secret? "Tell me what kind of secret it is."


    Nie Laihong said, "County Magistrate, please allow this little one to approach you and speak. Of course, the secret cannot be revealed to the public."


    Although that county leader was angry, it was not good to leave any evidence in the court. Although it was only a small county, there were still many people who wanted this chair.


    It was not easy to sit in an official''s chair, it was not easy to get up, and it was not easy to sit down again after getting up.


    It was as if that person wanted to maintain his poise and show that he loved the people like children.


    He said, "Then come up and tell me in front of me."


    Nie Laihong immediately said, "My lord, you are wise."


    Then she stepped forward and whispered in his ear.


    Even the Grand Master beside him didn''t hear a word.


    "Someone, call Constable Pan over!"


    A short while later, a person arrived. He was not tall, but he was handsome and wore a constable''s robe. His bearing was extraordinary, and his face was rather thin. His eyebrows were like stars, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit.


    He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what is it? Someone is breaking the law and wants to arrest him."


    The County Magistrate continued, "Have you seen the people in the hall yet? We have important arrangements for you, and the people in the hall have some goods for you. Take good care of them, and don''t neglect your duty. If you lose something, I''m asking for you!"


    The constable silently cursed, "If I don''t capture the murderer and pursue the murder, then why should I guard the goods for you?"


    However, he still cupped his hands and said: "I will live up to the County Magistrate''s expectations. I will do my best to ensure that the goods are intact!"


    Seeing this, Nie Laihong also felt relieved.


    With the help of the officials, it would be much easier for him to rest. At least he would not have to guard the escort at all times, and he would not have to stay in the tavern.


    When Nie Laihong saw that the constable had agreed to this matter, he was overjoyed. Seeing that the constable was quick, had an outstanding demeanor and an extraordinary bearing, he believed that the constable was a good man.


    Nie Laihong was waiting in the main hall for a moment. The constable had already arrived in the main hall with more than ten people with him.


    "Listen to him for the next few days," said the county magistrate. "As long as the goods are not lost and the matter is settled, I will reward and punish him!"


    He originally wanted to say that everyone would be rewarded with 30 taels of silver, but above the court, if someone brought up the topic, it would not be good for him, so he changed his tone and said, "I will reward and punish them. Protect the goods well and when you return, you will all have to speak your mind. Retreat!"


    Nie Laihong cupped his hands and left the hall.


    The constable, who was standing behind Nie Laihong, brought ten or so people with him as he retreated.


    After exiting the yamen, he looked at the people from the escort company and saw that there were also several carts of goods.


    The constable knew very well that the magistrate would be so kind. If it wasn''t wealth, then it was just that the goods had a huge background. Otherwise, if it was ordinary goods, would the county magistrate turn a blind eye to you?


    Anyone who could be a constable had brains.


    If you don''t want to say that he is quick thinking, he can do it.


    Being able to become a constable with fast speed wasn''t just a matter of your agility. You should also be able to observe the situation and have good evidence of your progress.


    Nie Laihong smiled and said, "Don''t be too reserved, this constable. I am the Dragon Gate Escort Office''s Nie Laihong. The first time I took a dart, I was attacked by a group of criminals. Now that everyone is seriously injured, I have no choice but to come up with this plan. Brother, please take responsibility."


    Then, he continued, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t know me or not. I don''t even care about the name of the Dragon Gate Escort Office. Haha, I, Nie Laihong, have never had anyone to admire. However, you can be considered one of them. Brother Pan, for the sake of our people, you have worked hard. You are as strong in martial arts as Pan An, and you are as handsome as a god. "Hmm, there are also many young ladies who have fallen for you and would rather not marry Pan Ziyu. They truly envious me."


    The constable turned to Nie Laihong and said, "You must be joking, Brother Nie. It''s just a rumor spreading around, not enough is enough."


    Seeing that he wasn''t willing to say more, Nie Laihong didn''t ask any further questions.


    His surname was Pan, and his name was Tao.


    In the martial arts world, everyone praised Yan City''s divine capture.


    For the evil Mo, Yan City, Yan City constables faster.


    The constable was fast and tall, and all the bandits bent over.


    Eliminate pests for the people, and eliminate evil dragons.


    The constable was the valiant god, and the constable''s name was Pan Tao.


    "As long as Constable Pan takes action this time, we brothers can rest at ease. We can''t lose anything from the escort company of the Longmen Escort Office."


    Afterwards, they found an inn to stay at. The waiter was feeding the horses in the stables, which had traveled quite a distance and were also somewhat tired. This rest was necessary to escort the escort to Luoyang City and was also where everyone healed.


    Nie Laihong gave the order to the extremely silent escort and to Jane who was watching over the escort. The rest of the escort went into the store to rest and heal their wounds.


    In fact, there was only one reason why Nie Laihong had been so respectful to Pan Tao and Pan Ziyu. He had heard that a tragedy had occurred in Yan City, and no one dared to ask or interfere with it.


    At this time, a constable appeared out of nowhere and arrested twelve criminals, among them were a few tyrannical disciples who colluded with the government.


    However, he refused to budge an inch as he said, "The laws of this world are strict. The laws of Yan City are reasonable. Are you sure you still want to ask?"


    The twelve men were all beheaded. No one knew how he did it, but the result was that both the magistrate and the mayor listened to his advice and punished the evildoers.

 C26

    The time they spent in Yan City shouldn''t be too short. Even if they were in a hurry to leave, they would probably have to stay for a week because Nie Laihong felt that if the people in the escort company still hadn''t recovered, it would be very dangerous for them to continue their journey.


    Jian Ran and the silent man guarded the escort together. The resting inn was very close to them. If anything were to happen, they would only need to shout for them to get there. This made the people from the Longmen Escort office feel at ease.


    What was even more reassuring were Pan Ziyu''s guards, as well as the constables under his command.


    Pan Ziyu relied on his charisma to walk out of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild together with his subordinates.


    They believed him, and he believed them.


    A brotherly relationship was something that would only grow deeper after experiencing it together.


    Sometimes also lament, I did not grow up with you.


    However, people who grew up together might not necessarily become brothers. This world was always so strange, always so contradictory.


    Pan Ziyu had no intention of talking to anyone, and the person who was unusually silent never spoke at all. If he hadn''t spoken before, he might have felt that he was just a mute, a mute who didn''t know how to speak at all.


    Such simplicity was not a person who liked to move. In the warehouse, no one spoke and no one talked.


    There might be people who were familiar with each other in the world, but most people were like this. Those who were familiar with others could be very crazy, could be very stupid, but with outsiders, they would always remain silent.


    Cardinal Cheng slept soundly on the bed of the inn, feeling refreshed.


    The first thing he did when he woke up was still to train his inner force.


    The high level of internal energy that Cardinal had was due to his cultivation technique, and also stemmed from his continuous practice over the course of seventeen years.


    Thirty-two Black Heavenly Treasure Record, that was his cultivation technique. His master had passed it down to him when he was three years old.


    Cultivation techniques were divided into 32 days and 4 days.


    With every small day that passed, his inner force would increase by one level. With every small day that he entered, his inner force would increase by one level.


    The great heavens consisted of six days of desire, eighteen days of color, four days of Brahma, four days of colorless, and four days.


    Little days are contained in big days.


    The sky started from a small sky.


    The four Brahma Heavens were the highest realm, the colorless world came after four days, and the color world came after 18 days, laying the foundation for the next day. Six days of desire was the beginning. To cleanse one''s marrow and cultivate one''s cultivation, and to open one''s meridians and build one''s energy.


    Thirty-two days went by in a never-ending cycle.


    With Cardinal''s current level of inner force, he had cultivated to the point where he swore oaths to the Heaven''s Limitless in the last small day of the colored world eighteen days ago. As long as he broke into the colorless four days, his inner force would be considered complete and he would only have a handful of inner force to fight against it.


    Even though it was Boundless Tan swearing to the heavens, an ordinary sect leader would only have such inner strength. If the assassination was taken into account, even if he was facing the Sect Leader, he would not refuse to fight against him.


    In his heart, he secretly decided that once he broke through into the colorless realm, he would need to find someone to take revenge on. One of the eight great sects would surely have their own sect destroyed.


    After practicing inner strength, he got up from the bed and walked downstairs.


    Along the way, they met Nie Laihong. "Brother Nie, I''m really impressed with that Pan Tao. He doesn''t need to worry about others. I''m impressed."


    Nie Laihong smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, you don''t know about it. Have you ever heard of" Law has its limits, the heaven and earth has their principles, Yan City''s justice, is it still okay? " "That sentence?"


    Huanzhi said honestly, "Huzhu is a fool, but I''ve never heard of him. Where did these words come from?"


    Nie Laihong told Nie Tian everything that Pan Tao had done, full of admiration from the bottom of his heart, and a heroic spirit.


    After listening to Nie Laihong''s speech, Cardinal Cheng also sighed with emotion. This person''s actions were indeed worthy of the Yan City''s Divine Conquest. They were worthy of the Yan City''s citizens'' love and love.


    "Who is guarding the escort these days?" he asked.


    Nie Laihong said, "Sister Jian and Second Brother Ning went to rest. It should be Uncle Lin and Uncle Hong''s turn today."


    "Who is this Second Brother Ning?" Cardinal asked.


    Nie Laihong was stunned for a moment. "En ¡­" How should he put it? Second Brother Ning was the person he didn''t talk about all day. His original name was Ning Tianya. In the past, he seemed to have met with some troubles because he had promised someone else. After all these years, I''ve only heard a dozen or so words from second brother. "


    Nie Laihong could be said to be the youngest in the Dragon Gate Escort Office. Now that he heard his words, he understood in his heart that even Fifth Uncle Hong had spoken a few words with him, so they could be considered to know each other.


    Actually, it''s not very good to be familiar with each other, but if no one does the beginning of the conversation, then there will be no conversation and no knowledge.


    "Uncle Lin hasn''t recovered from his injuries, so why don''t you let me take care of the escort? You''ve made Pan Tao sound so extraordinary. I''m going to take a look at him and make friends with him."


    Nie Laihong thought for a moment and said, "Since Brother Cheng has said so, I''ll go and tell Uncle Lin to go rest. You''ll take his place, but Uncle Hong is also injured. I''ll go with you."


    "That''s reasonable. It would be even better if the two of us went together."


    Cardinal didn''t realize that the people who Nie Laihong had arranged to guard the escort company were all the escort officers of the escort company. Not a single one of them was an ordinary disciple.


    After talking to Lin Zhiren and Hong Yinbao, Cardinal and Nie Lai Hong went to the warehouse to guard the escort.


    When he reached the door of the warehouse, he heard a faint flute sound. The flute sound was melodious and melodious, slowly entering his ears.


    The music of the flute embellished the lonely and lonely warehouse with elegant and beautiful music. It added a serene and ethereal feeling to the hazy and gloomy warehouse. The flute music was like a gentle wave, fluttering past one''s heart.


    When Cardinal and Nie Laihong heard the flute melody, they actually felt a bit intoxicated. They immersed themselves in the ocean of music. The melodious short flute melody struck their silent hearts.


    Cardinal Cheng felt that this was the first time in his life that he had heard such a voice. It was intoxicating and fascinating.


    After the short flute melody, Cardinal Nie Laihong was still immersed in the song.


    A constable then laughed out loud, "As expected of our boss, truly a man of both skill and martial arts. Hahaha, and above all, handsome and handsome. No wonder people say that sixty percent of the women in Yan City are willing to marry Ziyu."


    The constable''s quick laughter startled the Cardinal and Nie Laihong awake. Hearing such words, they also applauded and entered the room, "Yan City is indeed famous. The younger brother was right, both the martial arts and the literature are complete!" Nie Laihong said while laughing.


    In the end, that constable didn''t appreciate his kindness and asked: "My big brother is indeed talented in both the arts and the arts, but who are you and why are you in this warehouse?"


    At this moment, a voice came from the warehouse. "So it is the young master of the Long Clan''s escort. Please forgive me."


    Pan Tao walked up to the two men and bowed.


    After looking at it closely, he came to a conclusion.


    Elegant and outstanding, worthy of his name.


    Lord Mo was like jade, a peerless young master.

 C27

    Huai Cheng and Nie Laihong stood side by side. Nie Laihong laughed and said, "Brother Ziyu, you''ve really given me face. Haha, it''s fine, it''s fine." We are here to watch the escort with you today. "


    Pan Tao also didn''t want to keep to the formalities, so he didn''t continue to say those polite words. When he saw Huai Cheng, he turned to Nie Laihong and asked, "Who is this?"


    Nie Laihong laughed. "You are?" "Hahaha, to tell you the truth, I''ve told you that there are not many people I admire in my entire life. You can be considered one, and this one can also be considered one. Nie Laihong thought about it again. The danger zone from a few days ago was still hurting him, and he was glad that it was the same.


    Cardinal cupped his hands together and said, "It is my pleasure to meet you, Cardinal. It is my pleasure to meet you."


    Pan Tao also clasped his hands and said, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."


    Pan Tao said, "The wind is strong outside. Let''s talk inside."


    Cardinal and Nie Laiyi entered the warehouse together. Nie Laihong continued to ask questions as soon as he entered.


    "When you captured the prisoners, what kind of weapon did you use?"


    "When was the most dangerous time for you all? Brother Ziyu, can you tell me about it?"


    "I envy you brothers. I grew up by myself and only had a group of uncles at home. Ai ¡­"


    If he had not been here, he probably would not have said another word.


    However, he felt that it wasn''t very sensible. It was as if this old bro could talk a lot at times!


    Pan Tao had given Nie Tian enough face to answer all of his questions.


    "We are using a simple knife."


    "One of our most thrilling moments, hmm, let me think. I don''t think there were any more thrilling moments."


    "About this, even if you''re jealous, it''s useless. However, based on Brother Nie''s straightforward attitude, he''ll definitely have it in the future.


    Nie Laixi put his arm around Cardinal Cheng''s shoulders and said, "Brother Cheng, tell me, do you consider you to be a brother of mine?"


    Cardinal Laughed, "Thinking about it, knowing each other is fate. Being able to meet her is already pretty good, so let''s just leave it for now."


    Upon hearing his words, Pan Tao smiled faintly.


    Then, Nie Laihong became a little excited. ''Since you said that we''re brothers, I guess I''ll have to buy a jar of wine!''


    Meeting for a glass of wine! When friends arrive, so will wine.


    Pan Tao was also infected by his pride and enthusiasm.


    He laughed and said, "The Dragon Gate Security Office has a reputation, and seeing them today, they are indeed very generous. Qu, go buy some wine!"


    Then one of the constables quickly responded, "Okay, let''s go."


    Moments later, the constable returned with three wine jars.


    "It''s coming. Hehe, I have something to drink today."


    Pan Tao laughed. "You little rascal, really."


    Then, he said, "It''s my honor to meet the two brothers, Cardinal and Nie Laihong. Let me toast both of you."


    Cardinal and Nie Laihong raised their cups and drank.


    They exchanged toasts and toasted each other.


    Nie Laihong also stood up. "This toast is to you, brother Pan. You''re really generous. You''re such a romantic person!" He finished it in one gulp.


    Then he turned to the Cardinal, "This toast is to you, Brother Cheng has spoken and spoken. If you do something without doing it, it is truly admirable. Cheers!" He drank it all in one gulp, then placed the cup on the floor and shook it. Not a single drop of wine was spilled onto the floor.


    Then, he turned to the constables and said, "Longmen Escort Office, I''m sorry to trouble you to save me, but this cup is mine!" He raised his head and gulped it down.


    After three rounds of drinking, everyone''s interest had reached its peak. Pan Tao called out, "Qu, how could three jars of wine be enough? Bring a few more jars over. We''ll have all the guests enjoy themselves today. Haha, you won''t leave until you''re drunk."


    With that, the constable named Qu went to get another three jars of good wine.


    As the wine entered his stomach, it became 70% heroic and 30% poetic.


    "Today, everyone will drink to their heart''s content, and I won''t hide it. Come, come, let me toast everyone!"


    Then, he imitated Nie Laihong''s actions and drank it all in one gulp.


    He then turned to Pan Tao. "Zi Yu, today I heard a flute from you, and it''s my first music. I forgot myself when I heard it, and the flute''s melody still resounds in my chest. Come, drink! "


    He finished it in one gulp.


    When toasting, the wine cup was lower than the others. This was respect, but when it came down to it, even a flat glass was full of respect.


    Then he faced the crowd. "Everyone, meeting each other is fate. Come, cheers!"


    Everyone raised their glasses, and the crisp sound of glasses clinking rang in the air. Everyone drank their fill together.


    Right now, Nie Laihong was a little drunk, so he put his hand on the shoulder of the Cardinal. Come, come, let''s have another drink. The Cardinal was also a little drunk, so after they clinked cups, they drank it all in one gulp.


    Pan Tao felt that it wasn''t enough and told Qu to bring three more jars.


    After drinking a few more cups, everyone was drowsy and unable to stand properly.


    "Speaking of which, brothers, I have only one thing to say today. I, Nie Laihong, will drink with you at the Dragon Gate Security Office one day!"


    Then, suddenly, he covered his face and cried, "Do you know why our Dragon Gate escort office was robbed of their darts? Because they felt that I was a second generation ancestor, a mud that couldn''t support me up the wall! He didn''t even have the qualifications to connect to the Longmen Escort Office! "I''m so sad, I''m so sad ¡­" He said it in an intermittent manner.


    As Nie Laihong sobbed, Cardinal patted his shoulder and said, "It''s alright. In the future, do your job well and show them. If you practice martial arts well, the Dragon Gate Escort Office will definitely flourish in your hands!"


    Pan Tao had too much to say. "Didn''t you just ask me about the most dangerous situation I''ve ever experienced?" "Haha, in the face of danger, there are hundreds of people surrounding us and that person even said that he would kill us all. He even wanted to catch us all. When I asked them if they were afraid, they all said that they weren''t.


    This was the first time he drank so much wine. Nie Laihong had requested to drink a lot, probably because he had been suppressing himself for too long and needed to release it.


    Cardinal sat silently in the corner, thinking about his master. After he left his master, there were actually no relatives left in this world.


    Even if he had something on his mind, would he tell Brightmoon?


    Cardinal slowly drank the wine cup by cup.


    Master, if only you were still alive.


    Cardinal''s tears quietly rolled down his face.


    Nie Laihong said, "Let''s not talk about this sad matter. I''m going to be the real and proper Sect Leader of the Dragon Gate Escort Office!" I won''t be lazy in the future! My dead brothers, I can''t remember your names, I''m sorry! "I want the name of the Dragon Gate Escort Office to be passed down through the ages!"


    Pan Tao also said, "Right, let''s not talk about these sad things. Before, we had more than thirty brothers, but now, we only have a dozen left, but I remember everything, so you guys don''t have to worry too much. I, Pan Ziyu, want this.


    Cardinal also jumped onto the table and downed a cup of wine.


    I have three wishes in my life,


    I wish that all is well and well.


    Two wishes, the case into two.


    Three wishes for a lifetime of sincerity and kindness.


    I have three hopes in my life,


    As far as he could see, all the peaceful people in the world had to enjoy life.


    Second look, justice is divided into black and white in the world.


    With three wishes, he would take revenge for his own wrongdoings.


    Everyone saw him jump onto the table and ask, "What do you want?"


    Cardinal Cheng exhaled a breath of murky air and said, "What I want is for everyone to have a beautiful dream come true, and meet each other as friends. Here''s a cup of wine!"


    Everyone exclaimed, "Good! Another cup! "


    The scene was fervent, a glass of wine met each other, saying all the unhappy things and talking about all the things one dreamed of.


    However, he felt that he was not feeling good.


    He had three wishes and three hopes, but he did not raise them with anyone.


    After being drunk, everyone collapsed on the ground as they muttered to each other.

 C28

    More than a dozen of them had fallen to the ground in different postures. After being drunk, they had all revealed their ugly and vulgar looks. However, who said that this wasn''t their original appearance?


    He woke up drowsily. His head was still aching a little, and the aftertaste of the strong alcohol was intoxicating.


    After he regained consciousness, he patted Nie Laihong.


    How did the guard of the escort turn into a big gathering?


    Drinking is harmful to the body, do not covet cups, drink less can flirt, drink more harm is not a benefit.


    Cardinal Cheng said, "Brother Nie, let''s go. If others see us in a while, we''ll really be thinking too much about our shift."


    Pan Tao was also a bit hazy. He had just showed signs of waking up, and after seeing the wolf''s remains all over the place, he knew that he shouldn''t have drank alcohol.


    Drinking wine to mislead others was not a lie.


    The cups were everywhere. Three pots, three pots, three pots, three pots ¡­ Who would wake up after a few jars?


    It was unknown if it was because they didn''t want to talk about it, or because they just drank fragments, but most of them thought that what happened yesterday had never happened.


    There were some things that should not be revealed.


    Pan Tao said to the policemen, "Quickly put away the wine cups. If someone sees it, then we''re really neglecting our duty."


    Everyone hurriedly put away their cups of wine, swept the floor, and wiped the walls.


    Pretend you didn''t drink.


    However, the smell of alcohol on his body was really strong. Even if he did not know it himself, as long as he passed by other people, he would be discovered.


    He opened the window to let the air in and let the smell of alcohol dissipate.


    Pan Tao sat down and channeled his energy, forcing the last bit of the alcohol on him to regain some clarity.


    He said, "Next time, it will not be like this. Luckily, there is nothing wrong with the escort. Otherwise, if someone were to enter while I am drunk, it would be a grave mistake."


    Nie Laihong also said, "Yes, we really shouldn''t drink at such a crucial moment. I''m sorry, but I''m the one who should and should not drink." After that, he sat down and began circulating his martial arts, forcing the air of alcohol to emit.


    Cardinal also silently circulated his internal energy, dispelling the alcohol on his body.


    In fact, martial artists in the martial arts world were allowed to drink alcohol. It didn''t matter if they had too much alcohol, they could still use internal energy to force the alcohol out of their bodies. However, who would do such a shameless thing when they met a glass of wine and the host begged for it?


    The Cardinal had regained his clarity of mind, and the warehouse had also regained some of its freshness after being ventilated.


    However, there was still the faint smell of alcohol lingering around him. He probably wouldn''t be able to get rid of it in a short period of time.


    Huanzhi said, "Brother Nie, who''s on duty today?" Why don''t we trade with them again? "


    Nie Laihong thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I''ll tell them later. Also, tell them to relax if they want to go and drink."


    In order to prevent anyone from discovering that they were drinking wine, Cardinal and Nie Laihong waited until the afternoon before returning to the Dragon Gate Escort Office''s inn. Nie Laihong gave a few instructions, implying that the two of them would be stationed at the warehouse.


    Pan Tao woke up his constable and said, "Watch over the escort for now. Not only is it a mission, but this Nie Laihong and Cardinal can also be considered half a friend."


    Thinking of yesterday''s actions, hmm, straightforward enough, it suits my wishes.


    He then recalled their lofty aspirations from yesterday. Haha, the ancients truly did not bully me. After drinking, they would spew out the truth, and after drinking, one could see their true nature.


    Nie Laihong also recalled the day before. After getting drunk, he staggered and couldn''t even stand properly. He would tell the others what he had been like in the past, how he drank, and what he had to do in the future.


    The Cardinal was singing and dancing at the same time. He looked gentle and refined, and felt that he should be cold and quiet. Who would have thought that when drunk, he would turn out to be such a person?


    He laughed involuntarily. Wine was human nature.


    This statement was not very correct, but it did make a bit of sense.


    If one''s luck was too great, it would take a very long time before one could find out what kind of luck one had.


    The wine was too small and too one-sided. Who said that a person who got drunk and went mad was not a good person?


    He was thinking about their embarrassing behavior yesterday, but he forgot how drunk he was.


    Cardinal Jin remembered the first time he drank with the fellow who played the flute.


    Drunk, that guy couldn''t even stand properly, not only that, he kept leaning against the wall, and when he couldn''t stand properly, he slid down the wall, slid to the ground, became like a pile of mud, and tried to lean against the wall again. He kept shouting, "I''m not drunk! I''m just a little dizzy ¡­"


    His constable hurried to help him. He pushed the others away and repeated, "I''m not drunk. I''m just a little dizzy."


    Pan Tao adjusted his state of mind. "Mm, I''ll keep watch over the escort today. I''ll be sure not to touch a single drop of wine this month!"


    At that moment, Nie Laihong and Cardinal returned.


    "Didn''t you two want to switch out? You two don''t need to rest?" Pan Tao asked, stunned.


    Nie Laihong joked, "He didn''t drink to his heart''s content yesterday, so we''ll continue today. Where''s Little Qu? Just ask him to bring three jars!"


    Cardinal also probed, "Hm, you still want more to drink today?"


    Pan Tao said, "No, no. The goods are very important. We can drink after we''re done with our business."


    Nie Laihong was a little smug. "What?" Scared? Yan City is hunting, are you afraid? If one does not fall in a thousand cups, one does not fear tens of thousands of cups.


    With a mocking expression on his face, Pan Tao felt quite embarrassed.


    Pan Tao refused to be outdone. "Afraid?" I''ve never been afraid of anyone in my life, have I? Come, come, come. Let''s drink another three great jars. When will the good wine be gone? "


    Being provoked by others, he had just decided not to touch a single drop of wine for a month.


    "Stop messing around, business is more important, business is more important. We won''t drink alcohol today, we won''t drink alcohol!"


    The two of them turned their heads at the same time. "What? Are you afraid?"


    The shameless Cardinal nodded and replied, "I''m afraid, I''m afraid."


    Pan Tao saw that Guan Cheng also didn''t want to drink, so why didn''t he go down the stairs?


    With a solemn expression and a righteous tone, he said, "Yes, Brother Qing, you are right. We should not have drank too much. When you come back, we will drink until you are drunk!"


    Huai Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, that''s the theory. That''s the theory."


    Nie Laihong pretended to have a troubled expression on his face. "I''ll listen to what you two have to say. We''ll talk about it when we get back."


    In his heart, however, he couldn''t help but laugh, scaring the two heroes. Hahahaha, I can''t compare to the others. Drinking wine is really a side dish, not enough for me to drink.


    How could Huai Cheng and Pan Tao know what he was thinking? All they did was say, "Let''s go back to the warehouse and guard the escort. This time, we''ll definitely guard it properly."


    Nie Laihong also entered the warehouse.


    The three of them were friends because of a pot of wine.


    Although it wasn''t just one pot.


    This was also the first time that Cardinal felt this way of making friends. In the past twenty years, apart from the saber that accompanied him and his father-like master, there was nothing else.


    If he had to say what he wanted, then the jackals, tigers, leopards, venomous snakes and scorpions in the forest, were nothing.


    The first time that Cardinal got drunk was when he was with a few of his true friends.


    The aftertaste of the wine was even stronger when the two of them met and asked for a cup of wine.


    Not only did he drink the wine of reality, but also the wine of camaraderie. By the time he drank it, he was already drunk and unwilling to wake up.

 C29

    In the past few days, Cardinal and Nie Laihong had exchanged posts almost every day. Aside from the two who came to the warehouse on the first day, no other escort had come to the warehouse.


    Every day and every night, there were only two people and a group of constables guarding the escort.


    Every day and every night, there would only be a few people discussing.


    Talking heart to heart, talking, laughing and laughing, the few of them interacting, very happy.


    Inadvertently. A week had passed and most of the people''s injuries had recovered. The situation of the Dragon Gate Escort Office was completely new.


    Today was the time to leave Yan City.


    It was unknown when they would meet again.


    When the people of the Dragon Gate Escort Office had packed up their luggage, Cardinal went to the stables and brought their horses out of the city.


    By the time they reached the warehouse, Pan Tao had already left with his officers. Lin Zhi had already returned.


    Seeing that it was Cardinal who had arrived, Lin Zhiren smiled and said, "Little Brother Cardinal, it has been hard on you these past few days. You have been coming with Young Sect Master to the warehouse to guard the escort every day, allowing us old fellows who have not learned anything to find time to rest for a while."


    Cardinal did not react, as if he was thinking of something, "Mmm, mmm. "It''s nothing, it''s just a small matter, just a small matter."


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, they quietly left the warehouse.


    Nie Laihong also had no idea where he went.


    Everyone in the Dragon Gate Escort Office was busy. There was only one idle person.


    Only Cardinal did not know what to do after he had finished packing his luggage.


    He was bored to the point of losing his composure. He was bored to the point of being uncomfortable.


    Nie Laihong went to the prefectural city of Zhixian and asked for the official''s help in return.


    A government office that requests orders from the people, a government office that serves the people.


    Nie Laihong brought along a case full of gold.


    He personally carried it over his shoulder.


    After entering the yamen, they did not head towards the main hall. Instead, they went straight into the side yard and found a person to ask for directions.


    "May I ask where is the prefecture lord''s manor?"


    The man pointed the way, and Nie Laihong didn''t waste his breath.


    He went straight to the door of the county.


    "I am the Dragon Gate Escort Office''s Nie Laihong. I am here to pay my respects."


    That county magistrate opened the door with a beaming smile, "Come in, come in."


    Nie Laihong opened the chest. Inside the chest, the glittering gold was lying on the ground.


    He said, "Sir Zhi Cheng, please help my Longmen Escort Office. I can''t thank you enough. I can''t thank you enough."


    "This is my duty. Of course, of course." From time to time he would glance at the chest containing the gold.


    Nie Laiqian pretended not to see his condition and continued, "Hmm, this time Constable Pan and his brothers have done very well. They did their best to protect our Longmen escort company''s goods without losing them. I hope that the county can look out for us."


    "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay."


    "Of course, of course. You can rest assured that I will not mistreat Constable Pan and the others. " Zhixian fast interface.


    Nie Laihong also felt very uncomfortable staying here. He didn''t want to stay any longer, but he still said, "In the future, there will be many opportunities for the Dragon Gate Security Office to cooperate with the Precious Land. I hope that Lord Prefecture Overseer will take care of us."


    "Okay, okay, no problem."


    Just as Nie Laihong walked out of the yamen, he saw Pan Tao rushing back. "Brother Ziyu, if fate wills it, we shall meet again. The paths of the martial arts world are very long. The mountains never change, and the rivers flow endlessly."


    Pan Tao only said, "Take care." Afterwards, he brought people back to the yamen to report their orders.


    Nie Laihong felt a little regretful in his heart. All good things must come to an end.


    Then, he turned around and left the yamen. He left. If he came back, when would he be?


    Pan Tao entered the main hall and waited for a while. Finally, the county magistrate arrived, wearing a smile that was as beautiful as the spring wind. The smile on his face couldn''t even be described with words, and it seemed as if wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes.


    Pan Tao clasped his fists and said, "The goods of the Dragon Gate Escort Office are safe and sound, the constable Pan Ziyu is here to report to you."


    Hearing these words, the county magistrate became even happier and said, "Good, good, good. This time Constable Pan has done an excellent job. We reward all of you!" "Fifty silver taels each, and a constable''s price of a hundred silver taels. Everyone should go buy some wine or relax."


    He then returned to the house with a smile.


    He opened the box and a golden light shone on his face. Fifty silver taels per person and a hundred silver taels for the constable. He had still earned enough for twenty-something years of salary in one go.


    He took out a gold ingot and gently stroked it with his hands.


    Nie Laihong walked out of the yamen and returned to the Dragon Gate Escort Office encampment. Seeing Cardinal sitting on the doorstep, he was bored to death and even had some hidden grudges.


    Ye Zichen asked with a smile, "Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"


    "Today is the day we are leaving Yan City. I had wanted to say a few words to Pan Tao and the others and say my farewells, but who would''ve thought that everyone would have already left. You''re not at the escort company, and I have nothing else to do, other than being in a daze, what else can I do?"


    Nie Laihong recalled that he just saw Pan Tao at the yamen.


    He said, "I just met Brother Ziyu at the yamen. I also said something about how the martial arts world will not decline for a long time!" Nie Laihong pretended to be mysterious.


    "What are you talking about?"


    Nie Laihong laughed out loud. "Qingshan will not change. We will meet again if fate wills."


    A dark cloud hung over Cardinal''s head. However, these words were indeed very artistic.


    If Teng Qingshan did not change, the green water would flow continuously.


    However, Huai Cheng was still a bit dissatisfied. He was about to leave, yet Pan Tao didn''t even say a word of farewell.


    Nie Laihong came over and put his arm around the Cardinal''s shoulders and said, "Let''s go, get ready, we''re going to Luoyang. Luoyang is a bigger city, and it''s also the fiefdom of the messenger king. There are countless games going on in the city. We''ll go to Luoyang and have some fun with you."


    Cardinal followed Nie Laihong and helped the Dragon Gate Escort Office with their tasks. In that moment, he felt as though he and Nie Laihong were brothers.


    They had been getting along for the past few days, but this friend of his admitted it.


    There was also a Cardinal.


    However, he did not even say a word of farewell. He was completely silent and did not care at all.


    Everyone from the Longmen Escort Office was ready. Everyone looked fresh and energetic. Just like when they left Shunjin Manor, they were about to leave the Yan City.


    Nie Laihong mounted his horse and shouted, "Let''s go!"


    Then they all mounted their horses and headed out of Yan City.


    Cardinal Cheng followed behind Nie Laihong as they left the city together with the escort team from the Dragon Gate Escort Office, heading towards Luoyang.


    After exiting the city gates, the Cardinal still felt that something was missing.


    After walking for a mile.


    A group of people hastily followed behind him. A constable quickly asked, "May I ask if Brother Cardinal and Nie Laihong are with the team?"


    Nie Laihong and Cardinal returned. If it wasn''t that group of constables, what else could it be?


    Pan Tao took out his horse and threw two jade pendants towards the two of them.


    He said, "I was afraid to leave feeling sad, so I wanted to let you guys leave quietly. However, after thinking about it and feeling uneasy, I came."


    Then, he cupped his fists and said, "My two brothers, take care. Keep the jade pendant properly. You can''t not drink this cup! This time, we won''t leave unless we''re drunk! "


    "Then, he spurred his horse to turn around and shouted loudly!" "If Qingshan does not change, then the rivers will flow, and the roads of the martial arts will be long. I will wait for you all in Yan City to come back and drink!"


    Then the constables galloped back in a hurry.


    It was as if a huge boulder had been lifted from his heart.


    I also recognize you as a friend! Yan City owes me a cup of wine of love!

 C30

    The people from the Longmen Escort Office left Yan City and continued on towards Luoyang.


    On the way back, Old Uncle Lin kept pestering him, insisting that he teach him a Rushing Thunder Palm as a form of gratitude. It was a palm technique that matched the power of the Thunder Spear and was incomparably ferocious. Cardinal also felt that his techniques were too monotonous. Coincidentally, Uncle Lin also wanted him to learn, so he followed Lin Zhi back to study for a period of time.


    Lin Zhihui wanted to teach him this move in order to repay his gratitude.


    Therefore, when he was a professor, he spoke everything he knew.


    Along the way, he would learn whenever he had time and ask whenever he had problems. He had walked for more than ten days, and for over ten days he had been practicing. After he had found a little of the basics of this technique and mastered it, all he had to do after that was to practice it over and over again.


    The only difference was that the Rushing Thunder Palm was executed at a speed as fast as the lightning, exploding with the speed of the lightning. There was still a strong part of this move, after the Rushing Thunder Palm exploded, it would not be immediately dispelled. There was also a hidden force that entered the person''s body the moment the Rushing Thunder Palm came into contact with the person, and then the second stage of the Rushing Thunder Explosion.


    Although his moves were brilliant, they required inner strength as their foundation. He also needed to diligently practice them, the speed of his attacks, the fluidity of his attacks, and the timing of his attacks.


    Ten days had passed and everyone in the Longmen Escort Office finally felt a sense of joy. They had arrived at the foot of Luoyang!


    His hometown, which was a thousand miles away, was empty and full of Luoyang flowers.


    This poem, to write about the poet''s homesickness, thousands of miles away from the hometown ah, in your whole city bloom, but I can not return.


    Everyone in the Longmen Escort Office had the feeling that they would return to their homeland after a long time.


    Luoyang City, grand and majestic, grand and connotation, connotation and full of life.


    There were many flowers in Luoyang, and it was June. The flowers were beautiful, with a hundred flowers and a cluster of flowers. The most famous flower in Luoyang was a peony.


    Nie Laihong said, "Brother Cardinal, we''ve finally arrived. We''ve finally succeeded! Hahaha! This time, we can stay here and not only drink, we can also go to the biggest restaurant!"


    Huai Cheng also laughed, "Hmm, the last time you said that I couldn''t drink enough? Not even considered a side dish? This time, I''ll make a fuss about it with you. "


    Lin Zhiren and the others revealed happy expressions.


    Nie Laihong said, "We''ve already arrived at Luoyang City, so everyone can relax now!" Those who want to gamble with money can gamble with money. Those who want to gamble with money can gamble with money. As long as this dart is safely delivered, it will be the perfect ending! "Everyone, work harder. Once we enter the city and deliver the items, we will go for fun!"


    "Everyone!" "Alright!"


    "This time around, I''ll have to properly vent my anger. Hehehe ¡­"


    "Old Hong, we old guys went for a drink. This time, we haven''t had a single drop of alcohol since the darts were taken." Lin Zhiren said to the rest of the bodyguards in the Longmen Escort Office.


    "Ok. This time, I''m going to have a good drink. It really has been a long time since I''ve had a drink." Fifth Uncle Hong replied.


    Then they asked Jane, "Jane, are you coming too?"


    Jane smiled and said, "What am I going to do with you guys? I''m just going to walk around the city."


    The few of them chatted happily as they walked to the end of the road.


    If there was no struggle, and there was nothing to persevere in, people would not understand.


    As an escort, the most relaxed time was when the escort was safely delivered.


    The happiest time was when the escort was safely delivered.


    Jane had walked a lot of darts, but she was still very happy. In fact, it was not only very simple, even Lin Zhihui and the other bodyguards were the same.


    Every time the darts were completed, they would feel this joy.


    Therefore, at this moment, no one felt that Nie Laihong was overjoyed. Instead, he was truly worthy of being happy and losing himself in the process.


    Entering Luoyang City, Nie Laihong said, "The willow tree in the Golden Valley Garden has a graceful waist." "That would be a good scenery, going up to Luoyang Bridge alone."


    Upon hearing that, Huai Cheng smiled and said, "Oh, I didn''t know that. Nie Laihong, you know how to recite poems and make mistakes."


    Nie Laihong''s face turned red, "This is what I''ve read in the past. This is good, simple, and then I''ll write it down, hahahahaha, back when I was a playboy, I couldn''t even get girls with a brush, so I had to force myself to write down a few poems so that I could chat and act like a refined scholar.


    Cardinal Cheng laughed. "Hahaha, it really is just like your style. Not bad, not bad at all. Indeed, it''s not good for a lady who likes scholarly people to fall for you."


    Nie Laihong laughed, "That''s not it!" You don''t know how much time it took to memorize these poems. "Un, I have another song here. Do you want to listen to it?"


    Cardinal Cheng laughed. "Forget it, forget it. You should wait until you meet your new wife before using it to make a fool of yourself."


    Nie Laihong said, "Hahaha, that''s right. Keep it, we can''t reveal all of our cards to you."


    Entering the city, they found a restaurant and reserved a room. After that, they brought their goods to the largest mansion in Luoyang, the Xin Wang Manor.


    Cardinal Cheng said, "So that''s how it is. This time, our escort was from the Mansion of the King. No wonder so many people came to transport the darts."


    Nie Laihong said, "I don''t know if it''s to deliver the goods to the messenger, but this is the location. We only need to deliver it."


    Nie Laihong shouted, "The people from the Dragon Gate Escort Office have arrived!"


    A moment later, a housekeeper came out. When he saw the banner of the Dragon Gate Escort Office, he quickly told the servants to bring the goods inside.


    Then, he said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. After you''ve finished counting the items, you will pay tomorrow."


    Nie Laihong replied, "Alright! We''ll come back tomorrow. "


    When everyone returned to the inn, Nie Laihong said, "Alright!" We have arrived, Luoyang City! Everyone, let''s go celebrate! This dart has arrived safely! "


    Then, everyone gathered together and had a meal! Celebration banquet!


    Cardinal and Nie Laihong were drinking wine together, and a few of the previous generation''s escort had been drinking wine together.


    Everyone was completely relieved. Once they reached Luoyang, they would be done for this time.


    The item was confirmed and received by the people from the King''s Manor. The uneasiness in everyone''s heart was more or less there before they received the money.


    Now, the big stone in everyone''s hearts had fallen.


    Thus, he felt relieved and went to do what he needed to do.


    After drinking the wine, Cardinal became numb, and he actually didn''t want to move anymore.


    Nie Laihong pulled him along and said that he would bring him to a good place.


    Cardinal was so drunk that he couldn''t even walk. Not to mention a good place, he couldn''t even be bothered to go to.


    Seeing him act this way, Nie Laihong said, "You''re still not convinced even though I said you''re a small fry chicken? Just take a look and you''ll soften up." "If you won''t go, I''ll go by myself. This is the sixth day of the sixth month, the Flower Festival. We''ll stay here until the end of the Festival before we go back."


    Cardinal Cheng didn''t know what he had said, but he nodded his head based on his senses and fell into a deep slumber.

 C31

    The next day, when Cardinal finally woke up, everyone was no longer in the restaurant. He reckoned that each of them had gone to find their own entertainment.


    Cardinal Cheng was about to go out when he met Jane.


    Jane smiled and said, "Why didn''t you go play with them?" Her eyebrows were curved and her smile was like the moon in the sky.


    Cardinal Zhu''s head was still in a daze. As he looked around, he sighed in his heart. Sister Jane was truly beautiful. The most beautiful scene was her smiling face that curved like the moon.


    For a moment, he was lost in thought.


    Pausing for a moment, he said, "Hmm, it''s too late. I can''t even walk after drinking, so I didn''t go."


    Jane Eyre coldly said, "What, do you still have a bit of a pity in your heart?"


    Cardinal sincerely replied, "Yes, a little. We''re all graciously inviting each other. It wouldn''t be good if we didn''t go."


    Jane Rui''s face turned cold, "Then it''s not too late for you to go now."


    "It''s really a bit late, I''m not going. I''m not going. If we''re going to have another drink, I really won''t be able to finish them all."


    "..."


    Cardinal Zhu felt that while he might be good at everything, his alcohol tolerance was not.


    However, what he did not know was that his understanding ability did not seem to be good enough.


    Hearing his reply, Jane Rumian did not want to pay any more attention to him. "Then you should rest well. After you rest well, you can go find them!" She then walked out of the restaurant.


    "Thank you for your concern, Sister Jane."


    Then he saw Jane walking away and began to think.


    He had already taken the first step out of the martial arts world. Was he going to return to the capital with them?


    After he delivered the goods, no one would come looking for trouble with the escort team on the way back. It would be better for him to leave Luoyang and start roaming the martial arts world.


    Let''s go to Mount Hua first.


    The Flowermont Swordsmanship was unrivalled in the world. Cardinal could faintly feel that he had heard these words many times before.


    In fact, he had heard quite a bit about it. However, it wasn''t about the mountain. Nie Laihong was the one who praised him.


    Nie Laihong had always thought that Cardinal Cheng was the Hua Shan Faction disciple who was on his first trip down the mountain. As such, his martial arts skills were extraordinary and his sword arts were extraordinary.


    How could Nie Laihong know that Cardinal really didn''t know much about swordsmanship? However, it was true that his kung fu skills were among the best in the world.


    After eating breakfast, Cardinal returned to his room and continued cultivating his inner force.


    As long as he broke into the four colorless skies, he would go to Mount Hua and kill the Sect Leader of Mount Hua first.


    The revenge of killing his family would start from Mount Hua!


    Not long after, Cardinal had already finished his lunch and only then did everyone return.


    Lin Zhiren waited for the bodyguards to drink all night, but few of them were sober now.


    The one who spoke so little seemed to be called Ning Tianya. He was currently supporting Fifth Uncle Hong and the other escort, while Lin Zhi was dragging the other two escort team members.


    When he saw Cardinal, he smiled and said, "These kids, if they don''t have alcohol tolerance, they still want to be heroes. They''ve all been given to me to drink. A table full of dishes is not enough for me." As he spoke, he separated them and took a few steps. Unexpectedly, he couldn''t support the two of them.


    Cardinal quickly stepped forward and helped Lin Zhiren to support the two escort guards. He supported Lin Zhiren back into the room and held his hands as tears suddenly streamed down Lin Zhihui''s face, "Don''t tell them that I''m not drunk! I''m really not drunk! I''m not unsteady, I''m slippery, Old Yu died, originally arranged to drink, he was not there, I can only drink his share, these old guys, drink and cry, without backbone! Your father has drank so much, but you still won''t cry? "Brother Cardinal, please don''t tell them that I''m not crying. I drank too much, just a little bit came out of my eyes ¡­"


    Cardinal Cheng saw that he was quite drunk, but he didn''t know how they had managed to return. He didn''t expect them to find their way back.


    He had only helped him once, and he had already requested that no matter what, he must pass on the martial arts to me. No matter what, he must repay my kindness. In reality, it was just a small effort on his part.


    Cardinal also said, "Hmm, okay, okay, go up and rest. I know, your feet are slippery. Who hasn''t had the time to do so yet?"


    Lin Zhiren nodded his head, "Yes, yes. Brother Cardinal is more sensible. Unlike Ning Tianya, he doesn''t believe me even if he says that the wind is strong and the wind is strong."


    Cardinal helped Lin Zhi back up the stairs. After arranging the rooms, he went back downstairs and saw that Ning Tianya was still supporting the two of them as he slowly climbed the stairs.


    Huai Cheng hurried over to help.


    Ning Tianya spoke for the first time, "No need, I can do it." After that, he helped the two of them up the stairs, as if he didn''t care about being treated with sincerity at all.


    Then Cardinal withdrew his hand, stood at the foot of the stairs, and gave way to him.


    As he passed by the Cardinal, he said, "Thank you."


    Then he helped the man upstairs and went back into the house.


    Seeing them support each other, he was greatly moved in his heart.


    Brothers should be like this.


    Ning Tianya returned to his room and silently shed tears. Old Lin, the wind is strong on me as well, and a bit of sand has entered my eyes.


    At the wine table, he silently drank his wine. Upon hearing Lin Zhiren speak of Old Yu''s death and the fact that he had been successfully avenged by the Cardinal, he looked at Lin Zhiren in tears and sorrowful, but he still said nothing, only silently drank his wine.


    After everyone was drunk, he didn''t say anything and just silently helped them into the room to rest.


    Seeing Cardinal, he did not resist saying nothing, so he spoke.


    Thank you.


    After the old escort returned to the restaurant to rest, the disciples from the Dragon Gate Security Office also returned to the restaurant one by one.


    Some people were elated, as if they had just gone to have a party.


    Some people were a little sad. Perhaps they had thought of something when they first experienced this scene.


    At this time, Nie Laihong also returned.


    He felt that his complexion wasn''t very good, as if he was slightly weak.


    Cardinal stepped forward and asked, "Brother Nie, your expression doesn''t look good. What''s wrong?"


    Nie Laihong pretended to be mysterious. "Even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand. Yesterday, when I went to drink, I met a peerless expert. After three hundred rounds of battle, that expert just gave up. I also lost a lot of strength."


    "What? There''s still someone in Luoyang City that dares to hurt people in broad daylight?" Huzhu Cheng asked in surprise.


    Nie Laihong said in a low voice, "Let''s spar, let''s spar." Hahaha, okay, I''m going back to my room to rest now. Bro, if you want to go out and stroll around, then hurry up. If you don''t, it''s going to be dark soon.


    "Then quickly go and rest."


    Seeing him support his waist as he went upstairs, Cardinal thought to himself, "Indeed, his injuries are not light. Otherwise, even if the son of the grandmaster of external martial arts was injured, his waist still wouldn''t be injured so easily."


    Who would have thought that Nie Laihong would run into an expert in the Cloud Rain Tower. He had fought in three battles, and after a short break, he was provoked again. He fought three battles consecutively, and only when the opponent admitted defeat did he finally rest.
