"You …" Yue Lingshan's small mouth formed an 'O' shape and her eyes widened to the size of copper bells. She never imagined that this shameless scoundrel scholar would be so fierce. She didn't even see how he attacked. She only saw a silver light flash in front of her and the man surnamed Jia, who had already run dozens of feet away, fell to the ground, dead.
This level of skill was something that even she could not achieve. Eldest Shixiong might not be able to do it either. In the entire Mount Hua Sect, perhaps only her father could do it.
Yue Lingshan couldn't be any more shocked. Lin Pingzhi and the others were also stunned. They didn't expect that this scholarly youth was actually so powerful.
"Thank you for your help, Mister Ye!" At this moment, Lin Pingzhi was still in a state of fear from killing the man surnamed Yu. However, Escort Zheng was a veteran of the Jianghu and had long since grown accustomed to the fighting and killing of the Jianghu. Naturally, he was able to recover quickly. The few of them stood in front of Lin Pingzhi and cupped their fists in salute.
Although they could be said to have had a pleasant conversation with this Confucian scholar just now, they had been in the Jianghu for a long time, so they naturally knew that in the Jianghu, there were plenty of people who could talk and laugh freely with you a moment ago, and then take your life the next moment. One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not have the heart to guard against others. It was better to be careful.
"You're welcome!" When he saw the actions of Escort Zheng, Shi, and the others, he naturally knew why they were doing this. He waved his hand nonchalantly, glanced at the official road outside, and said, "Escort Zheng, I think the first thing you should do right now is to dispose of these two corpses. Otherwise, with so many people coming and going on this official road, if someone passes by here and reports it to the authorities, they will be killed. I'm afraid Fu Wei Escort Agency will be in trouble. "
When they heard Ye Xuan's reminder, Escort Chief Zheng and Escort Chief Shi naturally remembered. It was not that they had never killed people before and had no experience in the martial arts world. This was especially so for these bodyguards. They would always encounter some robbers from the underworld. Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency was a third-generation bodyguard. Fights and murders were unavoidable in the pugilistic world. However, none of the victims were not from the underworld. Moreover, these fights were always carried out in dense forests and mountains. After killing the person, they would be buried on the spot, and the matter would end there. They would never see robbers reporting Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency to the authorities. However, the person they killed this time did not seem to be from the underworld, and it was on the outskirts of the city. A person's life was at stake, and it was no small matter. Not to mention the young master of his own family, even if it was the young master of the Governor or Patrol Mansion who killed someone, it would not be easy to settle the matter.
"Thank you for the reminder!" Escort Zheng cupped his hands in thanks and then said to the two escorts beside him. He then said to the two escorts and said to the two. He turned to the two escorts and said to the two. of his two escorts of the two escorts.
Two escorts quickly carried the man with the surname Jia and the man with the surname Yu into the inn. They looked at the white-haired old man, who seemed to be afraid of them and was hiding in the corner. Escort Shi pondered for a moment before he walked to Lin Pingzhi's side and whispered, "Do you have any silver with you?"
"Lin". "Yes, yes …" Lin Ping was panicking. When he heard Escort Chief Shi's words, he immediately reached into his bosom and took out about twenty taels of silver in a panic.
Escort Chief Shi took the silver and looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing beside him. He frowned subtly. He thought for a moment and looked at Ye Xuan out of the corner of his eye. Then, he walked to Lauderno's side and said in a low voice, "Old Sa, this outsider was harassing your lady. This outsider was molesting your Miss, my Young Escort Leader and Ye Gongzi stood up for him out of chivalry; I had no choice but to kill them. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. This matter started because of you. If it gets out, no one will be able to escape responsibility. Use this silver first. Everyone bury the corpses first, then we can think of a way to cover it up. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" When Old Sa heard Escort Chief Shi's words, he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains.
Escort Zheng also chimed in. "It's normal for our Fu Wei Escort Agency to kill a few bandits in the underworld. These two rats were sneaky. If they weren't bandits, then they were rapists. They most likely came to Fuzhou Prefecture to commit a crime. Our young escort chief and Mister Ye are smart. That's why they took care of the bandits and ensured the safety of Fu State Prefecture. They could have gone to the government to receive their reward, but our young escort chief and Mister Ye are afraid of trouble and don't want this reputation. "Old man, you better keep your mouth shut. If you leak anything, we'll say that you were the one who lured these two bandits here. Opening the inn was a lie, but being a spy was the truth. Based on your accent, you don't sound like a local at all. Otherwise, why did these two not come earlier or later? They came the moment you opened the inn. How can there be such a clever trick in the world? "
"I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say …" Old Sa nodded repeatedly.
"Mister Ye, if it weren't for your help this time, I'm afraid the bandits would have escaped. Our young escort chief came out in a hurry and doesn't have anything on him to repay you. If Mister Ye doesn't mind, please return to Fu Wei Escort Agency with us. Our chief escort chief and young escort chief will definitely reward Mister Ye handsomely. "Escort Shi cupped his fists at Ye Xuan.
"Haha, there's no need for a handsomely reward! Helping out at the sight of injustice is what people of my generation should do. " Escort Shi originally thought that with Young Master Ye's respect for Fu Wei Escort Agency, he would definitely not reject an invitation to meet the Chief Escort of Fu Wei Escort Agency. However, he didn't expect that Ye Xuan would actually refuse his invitation.
"Good, what a good 'helping out at the sight of injustice'. Thank you, Mister Ye, for your help today. I, Lin Pingzhi, will definitely befriend you today. If Big Brother Ye needs any help in the future, just let us know at Fu Wei Escort Agency. I, Lin Pingzhi, will definitely do my best. " Lin Pingzhi had always yearned for the chivalry of the jianghu since he was young. Now that he heard Ye Xuan's words, he was filled with excitement.
"I am indebted to Mister Lin for thinking so highly of me. I cannot thank you enough!" Ye Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting when he saw Lin Pingzhi's expression.
"Yay, Big Brother Ye, are you looking down on me? If Big Brother Ye doesn't mind, you can call me Pingzhi. "Lin Pingzhi looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.
Ye Xuan smiled when he saw Lin Pingzhi's expression. "Then I shall accept your invitation. Pingzhi!"
Lin Pingzhi was exceptionally happy to hear that Ye Xuan wanted to befriend him. He walked over and pulled Ye Xuan along. "Although many accidents happened today, it's a blessing to be able to make friends with such an extraordinary person like Big Brother Ye. Come, Big Brother Ye, let's go back to Fu Wei Escort Agency. If my father sees you, he will definitely be happy. "
"Haha, thank you for Pingzhi's kindness. However, I still have some matters to take care of. After I'm done, I will go to Fu Wei Escort Agency to find you. Is that alright?" Ye Xuan didn't immediately agree to go back with Lin Pingzhi. He glanced at Laudeno and Yue Lingshan, who were pretending to be afraid, and shook his head.
"Big Brother Ye, do you need something? What is it? In Fu Wei Prefecture, I can still be of some help. Big Brother Ye, you don't need to be so courteous with me. "Lin Pingzhi said.
"It's just a small matter. I can take care of it myself. There's no need to trouble Pingzhi." Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"In that case, Big Brother Ye, you must come to Fu Wei Escort Agency to find me. I will wait for Big Brother Ye there. At that time, we won't go back until we're drunk!" Lin Pingzhi saw that Ye Xuan directly refused and thought that it was a private matter. He didn't ask any further and said seriously.
"Alright, I will definitely pay Chief Escort Lin a visit when the time comes!" Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.
While Ye Xuan and Lin Pingzhi were conversing, Escort Shi led Second Bai and Chen Qi to bury the corpses in the wine shop's vegetable garden. They then used a hoe to clean up the bloodstains on the shop's entrance and the roadside and covered them with soil.
Chief Escort Zheng called the fearful Laudeno and Yue Lingshan to the side. With a hint of ruthlessness on his face, he said in a deep voice, "If we don't hear any news of this being leaked within ten days, we will give you another fifty taels of silver as payment for your coffin. If you speak carelessly, humph, humph, the number of thieves killed by Fu Wei Escort Agency's sabers, if not a thousand, is at least eight hundred. Killing you, one old and one young, would only add two more corpses to your vegetable garden. "
"Thank you, thank you. I don't dare to say it, I don't dare to say it …" Laudeno's face was full of fear as he bowed repeatedly.
"Young Chief Escort, everything is more or less settled. It's getting late and Chief Escort is still in the escort agency. Let's go back!" Chief Escort Zheng came to Lin Pingzhi's side and said in a low voice.
Too many things had happened today. Although everything was more or less settled, Lin Pingzhi's mind was still restless. When he heard Chief Escort Zheng's words, he looked at the sky and immediately said to Ye Xuan, "Big Brother Ye, it's getting late. I will be going back first. I will wait for Big Brother Ye's arrival in the escort agency. Farewell!"
"Take care!" Ye Xuan cupped his fists and said.
"Take care!" The five men cupped their fists at Ye Xuan and did not linger. They leaped onto their horses, squeezed their legs, and galloped in the direction of Fuzhou City.
Ye Xuan only turned his head around when he saw the five of them on the official road. With a faint smile on his lips, he looked at Laudeno and Yue Lingshan with interest.
"Young, young master, do, do you still want to drink?" Laudeno had a guilty conscience to begin with. Now that he saw Ye Xuan looking at him like that, he immediately felt his hair stand on end. He lowered his face and a glint flashed through his eyes as he went forward to ask in a seemingly fearful manner.
"You're quite bold, old man. Someone just died in this store and you still want to continue doing business here. You really value money more than your life!" Ye Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Young master must be joking. This old man is naturally extremely afraid, but …"
"Alright, alright, don't just say that. There are only the three of us here, so stop acting. Even if you don't find it tiring, I am!" Ye Xuan shook his head and interrupted Laudeno's words with an impatient tone.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Laudeno and Yue Lingshan both trembled. A cold light flashed through Laudeno's eyes as he quietly reached into his sleeves to grasp the hilt of his sword. His originally lifeless eyes were half-closed. "Young master, what are you saying? This old man really doesn't understand."
"You don't understand? I think you understand very well in your heart, you … "
Halfway through Ye Xuan's words, a cold light suddenly flew out of Laudeno's sleeves. Like an arrow shot from a crossbow, it streaked across the sky and stabbed straight at Ye Xuan's face …
