In the evening, they stayed in a small town on the eastern border of the Swift White Province. In order to conceal their identities, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin each bought a hunter's attire and disguised themselves as hunter siblings.
When Qin Yin's fur armor was changed into a leather skirt armor, and her hair was replaced with a hairpin made of animal bone, she looked more like a girl next door. Lin Muyu stared at her for a long time.
"Have you seen enough?"
Qin Yin giggled and asked, "What's different about me now?"
"You're very different."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Xiao Yin, let's hurry. There's an inn about ten miles from here. Let's spend the night there."
"Yes!"
The two of them mounted their horses and left the small town. Both of them carried longbows and quivers on their backs. No matter how you looked at it, they looked like a pair of hunter siblings.
…
Not long after sunset, there was indeed an inn on the side of the road. Many travelers stopped here. Some were there to eat and drink, while others stayed the night.
After handing the horses to the waiter, they booked two rooms. The lobby of the inn was bustling with activity. A young bard girl was playing the zither and singing an old nursery rhyme. A group of mercenaries and rich young masters listened to her, mesmerized. Lin Muyu looked around and was shocked to see that group of people again. Huan of Northern Qi and his group of guards were all there. They were squeezed together and took up half the lobby.
"Sir, this way please. There's an empty table over there," the waiter said politely.
"Thank you."
Qin Yin ordered two simple dinners and ate with Lin Muyu.
…
Not long after, a young man dressed like a rich man suddenly stood up in a corner of the lobby. His face was red, and it was clear that he was drunk. He walked forward unsteadily and held onto the balcony in the middle of the lobby. He smiled at the young girl and said, "Girl, I see that you sing well. Why don't you come to my room and sing for me again? I'll give you a Jin Yin coin. What do you think?"
The young girl paused and said, "Sir, I … I can't …"
"What did you say?"
The noble young master's face turned red, and he held a Jin Yin coin in his hand as he said, "I'm giving you face by doing this. Don't be so shameless. With your lowly status, it's a blessing for your ancestors to give you the opportunity to serve me. Let me tell you, with your status and appearance, a Jin Yin coin is enough to sleep with you, not to mention that it's just a song from you!"
The young girl was so scared that her face was pale. "Sir, I'm just a performer … please have some self-respect."
The old man also begged, "Sir, let my daughter go. She's still young …"
"Get out of my way!"
The young master suddenly held the long sword in his hand horizontally and hit the old man with the scabbard with a bang. The long sword was enshrouded in a light green light, and the power of heaven and earth slowly circulated around it. It was actually a People's Book, and it looked like a low-level People's Book. He was angry and embarrassed, and said, "Who in the eastern region of the province doesn't know my name? I wrote a middle-level People's Book at the age of 22, and even the Marquis of Xiyang sent me a letter of appointment. You little girl, how dare you not give me face? You're looking for death!"
Behind him, one of Li Zuo's guards started to jeer, "Hahaha, young master, do you want us to help you send this arrogant little girl to her room?"
"Stop!"
Before Lin Muyu could speak, someone stood up not far away. It was Northern Qi's second son, Northern Qi Huan. His face was full of anger, and he slammed the table and stood up. He said, "I didn't think there would be such a despicable person in the countryside, taking liberties with a girl in broad daylight. Li Zuo, you're shameless!"
"Who are you?"
Li Zuo was startled, and looked at Northern Qi Huan and the others. His face was full of shame and anger. "Who do you think you are? How dare you lecture me?"
Northern Qi Huan sneered, and slowly walked forward with a thin sword in his hand. He said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. That old guy, the Marquis of Xiyang, personally sent you a letter of appointment?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"Hahaha … that old guy is really muddle-headed. How could he send a letter of appointment to an idiot like you? Is there really no one else in Yihe Country that a despicable person like you can succeed?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Li Zuo was furious, and the sword in his hand glowed. He said, "I don't care who you are today. If you dare to interfere in my business, I'll let you have a taste of the Book of Heaven!"
"Is that so?" Northern Qi Huan's face was calm. He said, "Then bring it on!"
"Bastard!"
Li Zuo's face had already begun to twist slightly. He gently flipped his wrist, and with a thought, the Book of Heaven was immediately activated. What a good low-level Wind Book. Wind blades spun around the blade, and suddenly flew towards Northern Qi Huan.
After all, it was a low-level Human Book, the lowest level of Book of Heaven. Its power was far less terrifying than a Spirit Book or an Earth Book. It was equivalent to an attack from an Earth Realm cultivator.
Northern Qi Huan raised his sword, and a thick orange light shot up from the blade. It was a top-level Ice Book of Heaven!
"Hum, hum, hum …"
Waves of wind and snow gathered in front of Northern Qi Huan, condensing into the shape of an ice shield, easily dispelling Li Zuo's low-level Spiritual Book. At the same time, Northern Qi Huan rushed forward, and his sword suddenly came down from the sky. With a bang, the ice and snow swept across. Li Zuo stood majestically in place, his face ashen. The next moment, white frost climbed up his body.
"Hmph, so weak."
Northern Qi Huan slowly sheathed his sword, and turned to leave. Behind him, with a crash, Li Zuo's body collapsed. Even his blood had been frozen into ice. His entire body had turned into a pile of broken ice. Looking at the situation, he should be completely dead.
…
"Murder … murder …" The innkeeper was stunned.
After Li Zuo's group of subordinates saw this, they were all dumbfounded. They did not even think of getting back at Northern Qi Huan. One by one, they rushed out of the door and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Northern Qi Huan returned to the table, sat down, and said with a smile, "Drink, let's continue eating and drinking. Don't let a despicable person spoil our mood!"
"Yes!"
The group of mercenaries seemed to be used to this. This soul-stirring scene of Book of Heaven killing, they should be used to it, right?
…
Not long after, the innkeeper called in a few burly men. After cleaning up the pieces of the body, they began to sing again. The lobby was once again bustling with noise and excitement.
Lin Muyu ate the wheat cake and drank the egg drop soup. She couldn't help but frown, and said in a low voice, "Killing people in Yihe Kingdom is so easy that no one cares?"
Qin Yin raised the corner of her mouth and said softly, "The Yihe Kingdom has its laws, but after the Heavenly Imperial Gate was reopened, they established another law regarding the Tomes of Heaven. Those who hold the Tomes of Heaven are allowed to fight and kill each other with the Tomes of Heaven, and the killer is not against the law. Qin Yi used this method to encourage the Tomes of Heaven within the borders of the Yihe Kingdom to continuously improve their abilities."
Hearing this, Lin Muyu felt a chill in her heart. Qin Yi was able to kill his brother and seize the throne, so he indeed had the courage to issue such a cruel law.
At this moment, Northern Qi Huan suddenly glanced at Lin Muyu in the distance. He seemed to have already recognized Lin Muyu, but he was not too sure. Following this, Northern Qi Huan's gaze fell on Qin Yin's beauty and was unwilling to move away.
…
"Who would have thought … that there would be such a beautiful girl in the countryside …" Northern Qi Huan couldn't help but sigh to himself. He raised the wine cup in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
To the side, the leader of the mercenaries, Liu Zan, smiled faintly. "Looking at her attire, she should be the daughter of a hunter's family. If you really want her, it is not impossible. In any case, it has been a tiring journey. With such a beautiful woman by your side, this trip is not in vain. If you want her, I can help you settle this matter. "
"Is that so?"
Northern Qi Huan laughed and gently patted Liu Zan's shoulder. "If General Liu can send her to my bed tonight, there will be an extra 1,000 Jinyin coins in your purse tomorrow morning."
"Ha, leave it to me!"
…
The two of them did not know that every word they said was heard clearly by Lin Muyu's spiritual pulse technique. At this time, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin had already eaten their fill and immediately went upstairs to their rooms.
"What's wrong?"
After entering the room, Qin Yin looked at him in surprise.
"Xiao Yin, it's all your fault!" Lin Muyu said.
"What's wrong with me …" Qin Yin was confused.
Lin Muyu said seriously, "It's all your fault for being so beautiful. The second son of Northern Qi in the hall has taken a fancy to you, so he and the accompanying mercenaries are conspiring against you."
"What?" Qin Yin was slightly angry. She gripped the hilt of the Heavenly Sword and said, "I'll go downstairs and teach them a lesson right now!"
"Don't be rash, we can't reveal our identities."
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "There's a better way."
"Oh? What way? "
"Just come with me. Go out the back window."
"Okay!"
…
Not long after, a young man wearing black clothes and a black cloth over his face appeared in front of the inn. He suddenly kicked open the door and looked at the Northern Qi people with a cold gaze. He shouted, "Who killed my son, Li Zuo? Get out here. I'll be waiting for you in the woods over there. Come if you have the guts!"
After speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded people in the hall.
Northern Qi Huan's expression was severe. "Damn, the tiny Li family dares to challenge the Northern Qi government? Are they tired of living? General Liu, take your men and come with me. I want the Li family to know that Northern Qi Huan has more than one Heavenly Book. "
"Yes, second son!"
The group of mercenaries picked up their weapons and walked out in a single file. The inn owner secretly wiped his forehead. Fortunately, this group of people was fighting outside. If it was inside the inn, his pitiful little shop would have been torn apart.
