Before Yao Ping could come back to his senses, he saw the person who instantly snatched the blade from his hand and waved it towards the chain on the cell door with the "Shadow Cut".

The sea was swept away by his tremendous force into a white vortex, and where the vortex swept away, the iron chains and the fence were cut together.

Yao Ping's mind was a little calm, and he didn't have time to look at the man again, so he hurriedly opened the cell door and rushed forward to save Qu Shun. After assisting Qu Shun in dragging his old father out of the open cell door, Yao Ping floated up to the surface to ventilate, but found that the sea had reached the top at this time, filling the entire dungeon.

With the faint light shining in from the only two ventilated patios in the dungeon, Yao Ping guided Qu Shun in the direction of the dungeon's exit. Just when he felt unbearable chest tightness due to lack of oxygen and almost fainted, the prisoners guarding the door of the dungeon reached out and pulled Yao Ping out of the water.

Yao Ping, who was climbing on the steps of the dungeon, took a few breaths desperately, and then he turned around and found that Qu Shun and the old man did not come out closely. He was worried that Qu Shun, who was dragging his old father, would be in danger, so he quickly dived into the water. Just when Yao Ping had just dived into the dungeon water, he found that the prisoner who had just helped him cut the chains of the cell was dragging Qu Shun, who had passed out, to the door of the cell.

Qu Shun, who was rescued to the surface, spit out the inhaled seawater with the help of some rescued prisoners, and slowly woke up a moment later.

The first thing Qu Shun did after opening his eyes was to find his father. However, what he saw was Yao Ping shaking his head sadly.

Qu Shun wailed and tried several times to return to the dungeon to find his father, but was stopped by Yao Ping and the others.

"The dungeon was too dark, and the bodies didn't know where they had gone. Qu Shun, now that the old man has passed away, there is no need for you to take any more risks. The person who helped Yao Ping cut the chains and rescued Qu Shun also spoke to Qu Shun at this time.

After seeing Qu Shun give up the idea of diving into the dungeon again, the man handed Yao Ping back the "Shadow Cut" he had been holding in his hand, and said, "Thank you, friend. You saved us all. ”

Yao Ping took the "Shadow Cut" and looked at him, he only felt that he was full of a clear heroic aura, and from his emaciated cheeks and limbs, Yao Ping couldn't even believe that he was the one who had just swung that extremely destructive knife in the water.

"Nothing." Yao Ping said softly to him. Looking at Qu Shun, who couldn't stop crying and crying, Yao Ping knelt beside him, put his head on his shoulder, and tried his best to comfort him.

Seeing that the sea water was slowly rising in the city, Yao Ping had to pull up Qu Shun, who was in a mood that was difficult to calm down for a while. The prisoners who were rescued from the prison expressed their gratitude to Yao Ping, and one of the county officials, who had been put in a cell by the mob, even said that he would go home and take out the gold and silver he had hidden and give it to him.

Yao Pingping just smiled at everyone's various thanks, and then he advised everyone to flee for their lives.

After everyone said goodbye to Yao Ping and fled, he saw that only the person who helped him cut the chains of the cell had not left. So Yao Ping asked him, "Yishi, why don't you leave quickly?" ”

"Benefactor, I don't know your name yet." He said.

"My name is Yao Ping." Yao Ping said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called? ”

"In Shimoyanagi."

"Liu Enzai...," Yao Ping said, "listening to your accent, it doesn't seem to be from the Qingfu area. ”

"He's from Cangmin." Qu Shun's voice became hoarse from crying, and he said sadly beside Yao Ping.

"Yes, in Xiacang Min, I have been coming to Yiluo to practice my skills for five years." Yoo Eun-jae said.

"It turned out to be Cangmin." Yao Ping said, "This friend Cangmin, you should get out of here quickly, it seems that sooner or later this place will be flooded by the sea." ”

"I'm going to get out of here." Yoo said, "But I have something to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?" Yao Ping asked.

"Your knife, is it yours?"

"Knives?" Yao Ping looked at the "Shadow Cut" he was holding in his hand, and then said, "No, it's not mine, it was given to me by a friend of mine." ”

"Your friend?" Yoo Eun-jae continued, "Your friend is a swordsman?" ”

"Swordsman? No, she's just a fisherman's girl. ”

"Fisherman's girl," Ryu continued to ask, thinking for a moment, "Do you know where she got this knife from this friend of yours?" ”

"I don't know about that." Yao Ping said, "This knife is indeed extremely sharp, I think it may be her family's heirloom knife." ”

"The family heirloom sword..." Ryu Eun-jae asked, "Excuse me, the fisherman girl you are talking about is from Yingzhou?" ”

"How can it be a Sakurazhou person." Yao Ping said with some confusion, "She is a Phantom Yang person." ”

"But this knife is a Sakura knife."

Hearing Liu Enzai say this, Yao Ping lowered his head in surprise and looked carefully at the "Shadow Cut" in his hand. After he took a closer look, he realized that every detail of this knife did not resemble Iro's style, except that at the bottom of the blade, there were shadow characters inscribed.

"No matter where the knife is, it's good to save someone." Yao Ping looked at the knife and said silently.

"I don't know, benefactor, can you introduce me to that friend of yours?" After seeing Yao Ping's reaction, Yoo Eun-jae said, "I have some questions about this knife that I want to ask her. ”

Yao Ping nodded, "Of course you can." ”

"Okay, please wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back with you. Yoo Eun-jae turned around and left. Yao Ping saw that he was running quickly in the direction where the county government was located.

"Junko, you met him in prison?" Yao Ping turned to Qu Shun and asked.

Qu Shun wiped his tears, nodded hoarsely and said, "Yes, he was put in a dungeon by those bastards before me. In the dungeon, he took good care of me. ”

"As soon as his accent sounds, he is a foreigner, and it makes sense that he was caught in the dungeon by the rebels on our side of Qingfu. But why are you, how did you get locked up by your own folks? Yao Ping asked.

"At the beginning of the riots..., my father advised those bastards not to kill and take property. But they pushed the old father and threatened him. Qu Shun said sadly, "In order to protect my father, I fought with those people. They took advantage of the strength of the crowd and ended up putting my father and me in prison. ”

"Just because they persuaded them not to kill indiscriminately and not to rob other people's property, they locked you all up?"

Qu Shun nodded.

"This, this is just too much, how can they do this." Yao Ping also felt angry and said, "I heard that they also killed the national teacher? ”

"The national teacher should be damned. The bullshit spells they make, pretending to be gods and ghosts, are ashamed of the Son of Heaven, and harm the people. Qu Shun said resentfully.

"Hey." Yao Ping sighed and said, "Huahua has been waiting for you on the boat for several days. ”

Qu Shun touched his tears and said, "I know she must be thinking about me these days." ”

"Don't cry, Junko, the old man is just going to another world to enjoy happiness." Yao Ping comforted Qu Shun.

Liu Enjae quickly ran back, and Yao Ping saw that this time he also had an extra weapon in his hand, a weapon similar to "Shadow Cut".

"Let's go, I'll go with you, and go meet that friend of yours." Yoo Eun-jae approached and said.

"You hid your weapons in the county government?" Yao Ping asked Yoo Eun-jae as he walked.

"Yes." "What's wrong?" Lyucian asked. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been there before and I haven't found anything, a lot of things have been emptied by the mob." Yao Ping said.

"I put it behind the plaque in the county hall."

"How did you put the knife there?" Yao Ping asked curiously, "Since you have a knife, why don't you use it to defend yourself, so that you are arrested and put in prison?" ”

"It's complicated, it's a long story." Yoo Eun-jae said and quickened his pace, "Let's go." ”

Seeing Liu Enjae's anxious appearance, Yao Ping felt a trace of doubt, and he asked, "Are you so anxious to see that friend of mine because of this knife in my hand?" ”

Yoo Eun-jae saw Yao Ping's doubts, he looked at him and said, "Yes, benefactor. But don't suspect too much, and trust me, I'm not a bad person, and I don't have any ill intentions. My Liu family has always lived with swords in Cangmin, and my grandfather was also the Jin Wei of King Cangmin. Practicing the way of sword fighting is my family's ancestral teaching, and it is also my pursuit to compete with masters who practice swordsmanship. Seeing this knife in your hand today, it is really a rare sword, and I think its owner must also be an extraordinary swordsmanship. I want to see that friend of yours, but I really want to know who the owner of this knife is, and where he is. ”

"Oh...," Yao Ping was silent for a moment, and then said, "Well, I just heard what you just said, in fact, I also want to know who the owner of this knife is." But.."

"Please." Liu Enzai saw Yao Ping's embarrassment, so he said, "What's the inconvenience?" ”

"Not really. But if that friend of mine is not willing to answer some of your questions, I would like to ask you not to force her. ”

Yoo Eun-jae nodded, "Definitely." ”

The two men carried Qu Shun out of the city on their backs, and then they walked south along the newly formed shoal. When climbing the hill, Chen Dahua greeted her from afar, she hugged Qu Shun, and the two hugged each other and cried.

Li Jun rowed the small sampan to the foot of the mountain, and only after seeing Yao Ping and Qu Shun return safely did she breathe a long sigh of relief.

Liu Xien was introduced by Yao Ping to meet Li Jun and asked her about "Shadow Cut". But as Yao Ping expected, Li Jun was reluctant to say too much to this stranger.

"At least, you can tell me his name, right?" Yoo Eun-jae asked her.

"Ping Qian Zhenying." Li Jun said lightly.

Yoo couldn't believe his ears, and he asked again, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Ping Qian Zhenying." Li Jun looked up at Yoo Eun-jae and said.

"Oh my god... It turned out to be him. The knife turned out to be his. Ryu Eun-jae continued to ask Rijun in surprise, "Where is he now?" Where can I find him? ”

"Do you know him?" Rijun asked Yoo Eun-jae after seeing his reaction.

"No, I don't know. But I know him. "He is one of the three most prestigious swordsmen in Sakura, the founder of the Thousand True Shadow Stream, and the Taira Thousand True Shadow of the Taira clan. ”

"I don't know where he is." Li Jun said to Yoo Eun-jae, "If you want to find him, you should at least go to Sakura-ju." ”

Yoo Eun-jae sighed, "Dare to be this girl, I don't know why he gave you his love knife?" ”

"I saved his life, and in return, he gave me his knife. That's it. Li Jun said.

Yoo Eun-jae nodded, "Okay." Thank you for telling me this. ”

"Ryu Eunya, since you know the swordsman of Sakura so well, and you want to fight with that swordsman named Hei Qian Zhenying, why you always stay in my Iro?" Yao Ping asked.

"Because it's not them who want to challenge the swordsman the most." Ryu Eun-jae said, "It's a master of your Iro. ”

"Iro's master?" Yao Ping asked curiously, "Who is that?" ”

"You won't know you." Yoo Eun-jae said.

"Let's hear it, I'm curious to know who this master of our Iloh is." Yao Ping said.

Liu Enzai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Slope Valley Villa, Yingfei Pavilion Lord Bai Wuyi. ”

"The people of the Slope Valley?" Yao Ping heard what Liu Enzai said, and turned to look at Qu Shun and Chen Dahua on the side, and he opened his mouth to ask them, "Isn't Apu there?" ”

Chen Dahua nodded, "Yes, Yu Pu went there." ”

"Do you know anyone from Slope Valley?" Yoo Eun-jae asked.

"Yes, a friend of ours was there." Yao Ping asked Yoo Eun-jae, "But speaking of which, this friend Cangmin, since you know that the person you are looking for is in the Slope Valley Villa, why don't you go there to find him?" Instead, he stayed in Qingfu City, and let the mob arrest him and put him in prison. ”

"I went to him, I went to him three years ago." Ryu Eunya smiled bitterly and said slowly, "A feather warrior named Purple Xuzi who was defeated by my sword three years ago told me that if you want to challenge the real Yiluo master, you have to go to the Slope Valley Villa. At first, I didn't think so, I thought that Ilo didn't have any more masters, but the words of the Purple Void kept lingering in my ears, and after a few months, I couldn't help but be curious, and went there. In His Excellency Yingfei in the Slope Valley Villa, I met Bai Wuyi in the Slope Valley Villa and fought with him. ”

Seeing that Yoo Eun-jae's expression was a little gloomy, Yao Ping asked him, "You were defeated by him?" Is it? ”

"Yes." Liu Enzai said, "Defeated, defeated completely." ”

Yao Ping nodded.

"However, I am not reconciled, I have been practicing in Ilo all these years, just hoping to meet him again one day and challenge him and defeat him." Yoo Eun-jae said again.

"And when are you going to challenge him again?" Yao Ping asked,

"Half a year ago." "I went to the valley half a year ago to challenge him, but the people in the valley said he had left there. I've been looking for him for half a year. ”

"I see, you've been looking for someone," Yao Ping said.

Yoo Eun-jae nodded.

"So you have the news of that master now?" Yao Ping asked.

"Nope."

"And where are you going to find him again?" Yao Ping asked.

"I don't know." Ryu Eun-jae hugged the weapon in his hand, and he said softly after glancing at Li Jun.

"If you don't have a place to go for now, maybe you can go with us to the south coast, take refuge there, and get some food." Yao Ping said.

"I'll go to him, but not now." Yoo said, "But... You say, you're going to take refuge on the southern coast? Looking for food? ”

Yao Ping looked at Qu Shun, who was lonely and sad on the side, and then looked at Chen Dahua, who was comforting Qu Shun, and Li Jun, who was standing aside, and said, "Otherwise, where can we go." ”

"To the West, of course." "There is a shortage of food along the coast, and there is a constant invasion of the sea. If you want to live a stable life and escape calamity, you should go to the west far from the coast. ”

"Bottle, he's right." Qu Shun said in a voice that had become a little hoarse from sadness.

Yao Ping looked at Li Jun again, but saw that Li Jun had a sad face.

"Miss Li." Yao Pingxian said with some embarrassment, "Miss Li, in fact, Liu Enya is not wrong when he said it. We should head west. Can't stay by the sea anymore. ”

Li Jun nodded slightly.

"If you go inland... Then we won't need this sampan... Yao Ping said in a low voice.

Li Jun looked at the little sampan, and she hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding again. Yao Ping could feel that Li Jun was very affectionate and reluctant to give up her small fishing boat.

"Yoo Eun-jae, are you coming with us?" Qu Shun looked in the direction of Qingfu City and asked him.

"If you don't mind, I'm willing to walk with you for a while."

"Yoo Eun-jae, you're very good at using knives, aren't you? You taught me how to use a knife. Qu Shun suddenly said to Yoo Eun-jae, "I want to catch up with the group of people who have imprisoned us, and I want to kill them to avenge my father." ”

Yoo Eun-jae shook his head, "I understand your feelings. Qu Shun, but I can't teach you to use a knife because you want revenge. What's more, the way of the sword, even if you want to achieve a small success, it will take three or five years at the earliest. Even if you have learned it now, how can you face so many of them. ”

"Yoo Eun-zai, don't you hate the mob that almost killed you?" Qu Shun looked at Yoo Eun-jae with wide eyes and said to him.

"Hate too." "Qu Shun, but you shouldn't blame all your hatred on the hungry mob. ”

"Then who do you want me to blame?"

"I don't know, but..." "But if there hadn't been such a flood, people wouldn't have rioted because their houses, farmlands, and grain stores were flooded." ”

Qu Shun was silent, he just hated the mob that killed his father.
