The sky was still dark. Jiang Youyu walked out from a half-hidden store with a sword in his hand. He paid no attention to the grudges in the shopkeeper's eyes, who had an impatient expression on his face.

He looked like he was about to go out with a dart, he couldn't do without a guy in his hand. He looked like an old Gu, who was yawning outside the shop. At this moment, he was also carrying a knife case on his back. The knife handle wrapped in two loops of white adhesive cloth was exposed. This was obvious. Old Gu could tell with just a glance. Ai, the old man in front of him who watched as the wind blew against him could fall to the ground. He was a martial artist.

Therefore, in order to make himself look like a travelling martial artist, Jiang Youyu knocked on the door of the shop behind him even when the sky was still dark. At first, the shop owner did not want to open the door, but he was always reluctant to let Jiang Youyu knock on the door. At last, the neighbors around the shop could not stand the sound of Jiang Youyu's male duckling, and for the sake of their own ears and ears, they could only help Jiang Youyu open the door while shouting at the top of their lungs and calling out to the shop owner to open the door.

Jiang You Yu unsheathed his sword and gently caressed the blade with his fingers. "Good sword, good sword."

Jiang You Yu looked at the dagger in his hand as if it was a priceless treasure. With the sword in his hand, he had a feeling that he was seeing the world. Soon after, he raised his dagger and casually played around with it twice, looking a bit strong and vigorous, "After all, this is a place to go out and take darts. Finally, there is a fellow who can muster up courage."

After playing with it for two rounds, River Fish hurriedly sheathed the sword in his hand. After that, he carefully buckled it to his waist and made it look like a young hero walking in the martial arts world.

Old Gu did his best to control his mouth. He looked at the multicolored gemstone in Jiang Youyu's hand and finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, do you want us to switch swords?"

It was true that he had gone out on a journey. He had nothing to say if he had the courage to defend himself with a sword, but how could he go for a snack? The one who walked out of the martial world would bring such an extremely sultry short sword. The extremely cheap Liu Li would casually twist it in the scabbard. No matter how one looked at it, it was full of vulgarity.

"Old Gu, you wouldn't fall for my sword as well, right? No way, I won't trade it for your broken blade." At first, Jiang Youyu had thought that this blade was some kind of rare treasure. However, ever since he had accidentally seen Old Gu open the box and discovered that the blade was cut in half, Jiang Youyu had instantly lost interest in Old Gu's saber.

Old Gu was speechless. The taste of his young master really needed to be improved. Old Gu thought in his heart before he cruelly shifted his gaze away from Jiang Youyu's dagger at her waist.

In the end, amidst Jiang Youyu's questioning, Old Gu also shut his mouth.

Jiang Youyu sat in the carriage and watched the street vendors on both sides with one hand on her stomach and the other on her purse.

"That Zhao Ziru is really generous. There must be at least three hundred pieces of silver in this bag." Jiang You Yu hefted the purse in his hand with a satisfied look on his face. It was precisely because Zhao Ziru's money was given in full that Jiang Youyu resisted the urge to enter the lake with his dizzy head.

Lin Mu County wasn't too far away from Qingzhou City. It was located at the border of Luan Province in Qingzhou and was also filled with water. It was bustling with life and was in no way inferior to the Qingzhou City. (NT: Luanluo = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan = Luan)) In addition to the beautiful scenery of Linshui County, there were also many palaces set up for the nobles. Every time winter wind blew, the adults of the place would let the women go to Linshui County to avoid the cold.

This was also the reason why the Riverside County existed in certain aspects, and it was one level higher than the Azure Province.

The carriage stopped at Rainfall Lane for a while. Old Gu got off the carriage and bought some porridge. Only after everyone was fed a bowl of porridge did he lead the horses out of the city.

After the carriage left the city, Jiang Youyu found a comfortable position and lay down inside the carriage. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

After giving out the first order, that night, Jiang Youyu led Old Gu to slaughter his way into the tavern once again. Perhaps it was because he had spent his money happily, but Jiang Youyu had drank too much at this time.

Old Gu glanced at Jiang You Yu who was lying on the side. Then, he looked thoughtfully at the forest not far from the carriage. After that, he tightly-clothed and drove the carriage away from Qingzhou City.

Not long after the carriage left the Azure Province, a dark horse riding on the side rushed out of the forest. As if provoked, it turned into a black shadow and quickly dashed towards the city gate of the Azure Province.

Just as the black horse was about to disappear at the end of the road, several figures covered in black scarves came out from the forest. They looked at the black horse charging into the city from afar before turning around and disappearing into the side of the road.

Dragoncry Town was considered the first town in Lin Shuishui County. It wasn't big, and there were eight or nine lights lit up in a radius of several miles.

Old Gu led the carriage into the Dragon Roar Town. Following the lights of the eight or nine families, they circled around the town one by one.

The sky had already turned completely dark. Since Jiang You Yu had money on him, he naturally wouldn't choose to spend the night in the wilderness. He couldn't count on Old Gu lighting a fire in the wild to cook, and Jiang Youyu didn't have the ability to do so either. He could only choose an inn to have a good meal, sleep for a bit, and then continue on his journey the next day.

Old Gu had no reason to refuse Jiang Youyu's suggestion. Therefore, when he saw Dragon Roar Town, he drove the carriage into the town.

Although there were eight or nine brightly lit gambling houses, not all of them were inns, or the big families of the town, or the noisy little gambling houses. After passing by six lanterns, Old Gu finally saw an inn.

The door to the inn was wide open, and there were quite a few customers entering from the outside. On the side of the inn, there were three to five carriages tied to the stable. A few horses that did not look fat were grazing in the stable.

Jiang Youyu took the money bag and also picked up the short sword hanging at her waist, trying to make it more conspicuous. Then, she coldly got off the carriage like a martial arts hero. Without waiting for Old Gu, she went to the stables and tied up the horse. Jiang Youyu had entered the inn alone.

The waiter of the inn had sharp eyes. When he saw Jiang Youyu enter the inn, he immediately called out to him with a big mouth and a wide mouth, calling him to sit down at an empty table.

As Jiang Youyu sat down in the inn, the various customers in the inn also began to size up Jiang Youyu. Perhaps it was because the short sword hung around his waist was too eye-catching, but these customers only took a quick glance at the short sword and unconcernedly received their gazes of disdain.

"So it turns out he's a weirdo." From the table by the corner, one of them whispered a few words. There was a hint of contempt within his words. When Jiang Youyu heard it, he did not seem to care. While the people in the inn were sizing up Jiang Youyu, she was sizing up the rest of the people in the inn as well.

The inn was already at four or five tables, and Jiang Youyu had already taken a casual look around. She had originally thought that this small inn would be boring, but unexpectedly, this casual look revealed a beautiful scene at a neighboring table not too far away from her.

The scenery was formed by a single person. He was clad in simple green clothes and had long, supple hair. The only thing that met his eyes was the side of his face. To Jiang Youyu, this side of his face was already extremely beautiful. Her lips were light, her nose was small, and she had a pair of innocent eyebrows. Just looking at her appearance was enough to make a person picture her beauty in their mind. In addition, there was also a special quality to this woman's body. Perhaps it was tranquility, but the feeling of being on the same level as her always made people want to get close to her.

It was likely that the woman had noticed Jiang Youyu's gaze. She turned around and glanced at him before frowning slightly. She turned her body to the side and tried her best to give Jiang Youyu a view of his back. The old nanny serving the girl also seemed to notice Jiang Youyu's gaze. She quickly made a detour around the table and approached Jiang Youyu's side, cutting off her pure and simple appreciative gaze.

Jiang Youyu also knew that it wasn't good to stare blankly at a girl like that. Although he was thick-skinned, it wasn't to the point of being shameless.

Old Gu carried his saber box on his back as he entered the inn. Jiang Youyu also shifted her gaze away. Soon after, the waiter placed two or three dishes on Jiang Youyu's table.

"Hero, this is your wine." The waiter was very attentive, quickly filling up the bowl for Jiang You Yu. Old Gu was not used to being served. He accepted the jar of wine from the waiter and drank from it.

The dishes in the inn were quite good, at least in the eyes of River Fish, they looked like wine. Sweet and mild, salty and light. It was just like the taste of the fish in the river.

Jiang Yu accompanied Old Gu. The wine cups in each jar were opened, and the aroma of wine in the inn grew stronger. At this moment, there were less customers in the inn. The only ones left were Jiang Youyu's table, the woman at the next table, the old wet nurse, and the four people leaning against the wall.

Perhaps it was because the smell of alcohol on Jiang Youyu's table was a little too strong, but the woman who was eating at a leisurely pace furrowed her brows and put down the chopsticks in her hand. She then whispered to the old wet nurse, intending to get up.

Just as the woman was about to stand up, the four people at the corner of the table exchanged glances with each other.

"Swish!"

Numerous whizzing sounds suddenly sounded from the hands of the four people at the corner of the table. After which, the candle flame in the entire inn was suddenly extinguished.

"Miss, don't wander around." At almost the same instant the candle flame went out, the old wet nurse took out a few silver needles from her bosom and pointed them at a certain spot in the darkness.

Jiang Youyu had not expected that this would happen to him after eating a meal in this inn. Although he had noticed that there was something wrong with the four people at the corner of the table after entering the inn, he did not think too much about it. However, he didn't think too much about it. This was completely out of Jiang You Yu's expectations.

He could hear Old Gu drinking wine in the dark, as if the darkness had little effect on him. Compared to drinking wine, River Fish was more interested in watching the show. After all, it had been a long time since they last saw such a scene.

"Creak!" It was obvious that the door of the inn was closed. The kitchen behind the inn seemed to have discovered that something was amiss. A candle light lit up from the back of the inn to the door frame of the hall.

In the darkness, a sound of something tearing through the air pierced through the curtain of the door frame. Following that, a very heavy sound of something falling on the ground was heard.

"Miss Mo, why do you insist on taking this step?" The silence in the darkness did not last long as a cold voice floated about the inn. Following this voice, the sound of several blades being unsheathed rang out.

"Did Master ask you guys to come? She sure is cruel. " The woman's voice was quieter, and her desolate tone almost made people feel pity. From the woman's words, he seemed to be able to hear that an extremely vicious master had dispatched an expert to kill his disciple for a certain purpose.

"There are some things that only the dead can keep a secret. We are only following orders." The cold words contained a bone-piercing killing intent. Right after these words were uttered, several ear-piercing buzzing sounds suddenly pierced through Jiang You Yu's ears. The source of these sounds was surprisingly a tiny silver needle.

Jiang Youyu sighed. Naturally, he did not believe that these silver needles had accidentally hit his body. Apparently, this group of people were vicious. They didn't want to leave anyone alive.

With a "Bang," Old Gu exploded the jar of wine he had just drunk. Then he straightforwardly hid under the table.

Old Gu was the one who hated these martial arts world battles the most, so he didn't really care. He still wanted to involve him in these terrible things.

Jiang Youyu looked at Old Gu who was hiding under the table, his face filled with astonishment. He quickly squatted down and squeezed to Old Gu's side, asking, "You're not going to make a move? "Do you really have the heart to be humiliated by these evil scum who kill people without blinking an eye?"

Old Gu looked at Jiang You Yu, who had a face full of righteousness, and curled his head. His body seemed to have been buried into an ostrich. "I can't bear it either, but what can I do?"

"Didn't you say you are an expert in the martial arts world? A very high level expert. An expert like you, how can you just stand aside and watch? How can you not stand up at such a crucial moment? " Jiang Youyu recalled the first time he saw Old Gu. He naively asked Old Gu if he was an expert, and then Old Gu shamelessly admitted it. However, combining with the past and today, Jiang Youyu couldn't help but wonder if Old Gu was really an expert.

"I know I'm an expert in the martial arts world, the kind that's very high, but I promised someone that I wouldn't casually make a move." Old Gu was very serious when he said this. At least in Jiang Youyu's memories, she had never been as serious as she was now.

"Well, let's just hide. "Although I cannot bear to see a woman being bullied like that, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the other party is so fierce." Jiang Youyu consoled herself before obediently hiding under the table. It really had nothing to do with him. Although this girl was extremely beautiful, he couldn't rush out and fight with these criminals just because she was beautiful, right?

His life was still the most important.

"Knock knock knock." Countless sounds of whistling mixed with flying darts continuously shot into the walls of the inn, occasionally producing muffled puffing sounds. Amidst the chaos, one could more or less hear the berating sound of the blade slashing down.

As time passed, the incessant sounds of people breaking through the air within the inn quickly quieted down. Jiang Youyu did not need to look to know who had won or lost.

Ye Zichen sighed silently in his heart, while the girl's soft and beautiful face appeared in his mind from time to time. What a pity, she was about to die.

This was also what Jiang Youyu was thinking as he silently asked himself, "Am I a bit too heartless …"
