What a good saber!

How could a woman be more fun than a knife?

When the servant girl heard Xu Bai’s words, her eyes revealed a regretful expression. However, she did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly bade farewell.

Xu Bai didn’t stay where he was and walked straight to the door.

When they arrived at the main entrance, the Zhou Manor’s token was already waiting there.

“Lord Xu, according to what you said, I didn’t tell the Manor Lord that you were going. “The Zhou Manor Magistrate said when he saw Xu Bai.

Xu Bai didn’t want to get involved in anything else.

The Zhou Manor Token was still alright. There was nothing he hated about it, especially with Yun Zihai’s relationship. They got along quite well.

He couldn’t guarantee that the other prefecture commander would do the same, so it was better to do it alone.

“Thank you, Lord Zhou.” Xu Bai smiled.” If this trip to Shangjing succeeds, I’m sure Your Majesty knows about the Purple Wood Manor. When Lord Zhou is promoted and rich, don’t forget about me.””

The Zhou Manor Magistrate hurriedly said,” Lord Xu, you are too serious. You are the talent that His Majesty hopes for. By the way, I have bought these clothes for you to change into. There is a tailor in my manor who can tell Lord Xu’s figure at a glance. It has already been made. Lord Xu can change into them.”

A bundle was handed over.

Xu Bai opened it and saw many clothes inside.

The materials were obviously expensive, and both the style and color were to Xu Bai’s liking.

What do you mean by rich kids becoming officials? What do you mean by rich kids becoming officials?

In comparison, Yun Zihai was a little shabby.

Of course, in terms of future prospects, Yun Zihai was much better than the Zhou Manor Token.

After all, it was the first autonomous prefecture. In terms of power, it was already beyond the reach of the Zhou Manor Token.

“Lord Zhou, thank you for your trouble.” “Then I’ll be leaving.” Xu Bai smiled.”

“The residence is busy, so I won’t see you off.””Men, lead the horses,” the Zhou Manor ordered.’

A manservant led Xu Bails horse and respectfully handed it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took it and mounted his horse. He cupped his hands and said,””Farewell.”

“Bon voyage!” The Zhou Manor Master also cupped his hands.

The horse galloped away and soon disappeared into the corner of the street.

The Zhou Manor Lord watched Xu Bai’s figure disappear and thought to himself,” Brother Yun’s foresight is impeccable. Lord Xu’s visit to the capital this time might change the situation quite a bit…”

Xu Bai did not know what the Zhou Manor Lord was thinking. He had already left the Purple Wood Manor and was hurrying along the Yin Posthouse’s route.

He had just come out of the Purple Wood Mansion, so there was no need for him to rest halfway. He seized the time and took advantage of the better light during the day to cross a few more Yin stations as soon as possible so that he could arrive at the next place earlier.

Along the way, it was much safer than before. He did not see anything unusual around him, and no one came to stop him.

Without any obstructions or abnormalities, Xu Bai was also unimpeded.

When night approached, he would find a place to rest. When it was daytime, he would continue to travel. After a few days, he had almost enough supplies on him. He took the fast horse to the Yin Posthouse.

When Xu Bai arrived, he found that this Yin Posthouse was much smaller. It did not belong to Fu Yin Posthouse, but Dao Yin Posthouse.

Among the roads in Jingzhou Prefecture, the road was the smallest. Further down was the county, and the county was not included. It was actually considered a road, but its scope was smaller than the road.

The Yin Posthouse was much smaller, and there weren’t many people coming and going. Xu Bai found a place and bought some supplies from the posthouse. He also prepared some fodder for the fast horses. He fed the horses first and then started eating in the Yin Posthouse.

Actually, the station chief would also provide food, but the taste was not very good.

Xu Bai had money, but he didn’t need to be frugal in certain aspects. Of course, he wanted to eat better food.

As they ate, the surrounding posthumans chatted. After all, there was nothing to do now. Other than Xu Bai, there were no other travelers passing by.

Xu Bai took it as a joke and ate slowly as he listened.

“Have you heard? There were many murders on the road ahead.”

“Not only have I heard of it, I’ve even seen it before. You know, I followed this path all the way to the clay mansion. At that time, I saw a young man cleaning up the corpses.”

“That’s right. It’s said that those corpses were riddled with holes and died in an extremely terrifying manner.”

Xu Bai had originally thought that it was a joke, but when he heard these words, he couldn’t help but frown.

According to the meaning of these people’s words, there were many corpses from here all the way to the clay mansion. They were all killed.

The most important thing was that these corpses had died in a terrible way, with holes all over their bodies.

Under what circumstances could he pierce through a thousand holes?

Xu Bai unconsciously thought of the twelve sword formation corpses he had seen in the Purple Wood Mansion.

Those corpses were all pierced by the iron beads, and their bodies were covered in wounds. They were densely packed and looked extremely terrifying.

Unknowingly, he had overlapped these two scenes.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai finished the rest of the food in a few bites and went to the side of the posthouse worker who had been chatting just now.

“Here, take it.”

A piece of silver flew across the air and landed in the hands of one of the posthouse men.

The man was stunned, but when he looked down at the silver pieces in his hand, he quickly put them away.

“Hero, is there anything you need me to do?”The posthouse attendant flattered.

Money made things easier. No matter what year it was, it was universal.

“You said that you have seen him before. Can you describe him to me?”Xu Bai said indifferently..
