The ninth day of September in the second year of Changning.

Ah Ying followed Gu Zhan and his party on an unknown journey home.

Out of the boundary of Miaojiang, the nearest road to Jiangning Mansion still needs to pass through Yuanzhou, Jiangzhou, and Hezhou. At normal speed, it will take about nine days to arrive.

About a mile out of Zhucui Mountain, Gu Zhan asked the team to stop and rest for a while.

Ah Ying jumped out of the carriage and sat alone on a rock not far away to drink water. Gu Zhan was talking to the rest of the team, and Ah Ying guessed that she was assigning some task, and she didn't want to disturb them there.

Before leaving the town this morning, she stopped by to Wenxin Pavilion. Gu Zhan saw that it was a rouge shop, and he didn't want to go in together, but the girl's house was troublesome, and he only knew how to add rouge gouache.

In fact, this is one of Li Day's secret contact points, and it is convenient and light for Gu Zhan not to follow her, so he doesn't have to waste his tongue to explain.

The shopkeeper knew her and showed her the note left by Li Tian before leaving. It reads, keep an eye out for the owner of the Mecca Tavern, the drunken uncle who fought side by side that night at the Bamboo Horse Station.

Although Ah Yu was puzzled, she still wrote a letter to ask the shopkeeper to send it to Gu Rou on her behalf, reminding her to send someone to pay attention.

She always felt that it was always good to believe Li Day's words.

"Bang" Gu Zhan snapped his fingers and hit Ah Jin's ear, and Ah Ying immediately came back to his senses.

"What do you think, so engrossed" Gu Zhan sat down beside Ah Jin.

"Nothing, you're done?" Ah Ying handed the kettle over.

Gu Zhan took a sip and said, "Wait a minute, the two of us ride away, they have a task, they want to take a different path with us, I will send you back to Jiangning."

"It's okay if you don't go. I can do it alone, my second brother is waiting for me in front, and I'll go and have a round with him. ”

"How can I leave you a girl on the road, how can I explain to my second brother and sister-in-law when I go back. I'm still very responsible! Gu Zhan raised his head with a firm expression.

"Besides, Jiang Ning does have something to deal with for me. Don't worry, I'm not in trouble with you! ”

Ah Yu snatched the kettle from Gu Zhan's hand and glared at him.

Gu Zhan laughed, got up and said, "Let's go, eldest miss!"

About an hour later, Ah Ying and Gu Zhan arrived in Taohua Town, Yongzhou.

The two dismounted, took the reins and walked inside.

Peach Blossom Town is not as good as Qinghe, there are few pedestrians on the road, and there are not even a few inns and taverns, which is very depressed and deserted.

The two of them entered a tavern with a better decoration, found a seat in the back, sat down, and ordered a few side dishes.

Although the food is average, the taste is not bad. The two of them had been on the road all morning, and they were both a little hungry, so they ate two or three bowls in a row.

"Boss, another plate of meat foam tofu!" Gu Zhan said in a loud voice.

"You still eat!" Ah Ying was stunned, "You've eaten three bowls of rice!" ”

Gu Zhan replied while eating: "It's good that we can go to Yuanzhou after dark, don't eat more now, there is no place to eat later!"

Ah Ying thought for a while and seemed to make sense, so she continued to stuff it into her stomach.

The two of them feasted happily, only to hear someone at the table next to them say in a deep voice: "Have you heard, there was an accident at the post station next door, and there was no slag left behind by a fire."

"It's really fake, it's so fierce!" Passerby B was surprised.

"Now that there are secret fights everywhere, how can Miao Jiang be alone?" Passerby scoffed.

Ah Jin's ear power is very good, and when he heard Miao Jiang, he immediately paused his chopsticks and raised his eyes to look at Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan only said: "Eat, eat, eat!"

Ah Ying poked the dish in front of her silently, only to hear the man say again: "Eh, be quiet, it's not good to be heard."

Passerby C hurriedly covered his mouth and glanced at the people at the tables around him.

A, who spoke at the beginning, said, "It's a good trouble, and there is money to be made!"

B: "What the eldest brother said is that we will go over there the next day and make a lot of money for him!"

C said with a sad face: "This money is not easy to earn, those men and women who can witchcraft kill people invisibly, and we don't know how our brothers and sisters will die at that time!" Don't take the risk, wait for us to arrange it."

B said with a look of contempt: "You are still afraid of those individuals, but they are all inferior goods, and you may be able to sell them for some money if you kidnap a few of them."

。

Ah Ying only felt disgusted when she heard these vulgar words, and with a flip of her palm, a small black worm flew out silently.

She wanted to turn around to see what kind of people they were, but Gu Zhan grabbed her arm, shook her head, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Be careful outside, don't cause trouble." They want to say let them go, sooner or later someone will teach them a lesson. ”

Ah Ying looked at him deeply and nodded.

Although the other party's words are rough, it does not mean that the kung fu is also rough, and before you don't know the strength of the opponent, don't do it easily.

This was the first lesson Gu Zhan taught her.

Ah Yu here suppressed his irritation, but a few people over there continued to speak.

"Where is the money easy to make, the gang of girls in Goulutang are robbing us for business, and they are also under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing the evil and promoting the good, everyone is the same kind of person, and they don't take a mirror to look at their own virtues." Han Ziyi couldn't help but break a few words, and raised his head heroically to be a bowl of wine.

Hearing this, Gu Zhan understood who these people were.

Those who dare to discuss Goulutang in front of the hall are probably only the people of Lingxiao Palace.

These people are estimated to be the killers of Lingxiao Palace, or the lowest rank.

A killer, arrogant in words and deeds in broad daylight, does not know how to restrain and hide, and it is no wonder that he has no status in Lingxiao Palace.

A trace of disdain flashed in Gu Zhan's eyes.

Ah Ying was a little confused, she rarely went out of Miao Jiang, and she didn't have much contact with outside organizations, and most of them were briefly said by Sister Rou

。

This Goulutang is supposed to be a killer organization, it is said to have been founded by a woman, and most of the people in the organization are women, and it is currently the top killer organization on the entire continent.

In fact, when Sister Rou told her about this organization, she still admired this hall master, a woman started from scratch, and now this status, her courage and means are really admirable.

Listening to the words of these strong men, they must also be killers. Now, do killers dare to be so blatant?

He said, "Two days ago, they robbed us of a few more big orders. These two tigers will lose when they fight, why don't you see what measures are taken, just let a group of women ride on our heads, it's really embarrassing! ”

"Stinky girl, Zhao Qingluan, has hurt a lot of our brothers, if I run into her, I have to kill her!" The more Han Ziyi spoke, the more excited he became, and he slapped his palm on the table, and the guests at the two or three tables around him glanced at it and didn't say much.

Ah Ying frowned, she hated others scolding women the most.

"Huh" a chopstick came out of the air, extremely fast, like a sharp knife poking the man's head.

Before the other party could react, he felt that his face was hot, and when he reached out and touched it, it was bloody.

The chopsticks shaved down his scalp and stuck in his hair, leaving a streak of blood.

Everyone was shocked.

Good skills! Gu Zhan sighed secretly.

The strong man was also stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that he had been plotted, and he was furious, and yelled: "Which shameless thing, dare to plot against Lao Tzu!" Come out for me! ”

The force of the speech was too great, and the blood on the strong man's head flowed more.

"The people of Lingxiao Palace are nothing more than that." The woman snorted coldly, and her cold voice was mixed with internal force, not angry and arrogant.

The strong man looked to the left and saw a woman in purple sitting by the window on the far left. The woman's black eyes were cold, her face was like frost, and she held a long sword on her right hand, wrapped in a white cloth.

The woman sat there, not speaking, but giving an invisible pressure.

Several tables of guests were scared away by this stance.

Ah Ying sighed endlessly, this is the master.

Everything is under control.

"You're looking for death!" Seeing that his organization was looked down upon, the strong man immediately jumped like thunder, raised his fist and rushed over violently.

The woman didn't raise her head, swept her left hand, and smashed a plate of peanuts on her head. The man was half a beat slowly, only to feel that the peanuts were as hard as stones, and his brain hurt and he retreated again and again.

The leading brother saw that his brother was being bullied, helped him to take him back, flew forward, and his body was like a swallow, approaching the door of the woman in purple.

The leading brother kicked out, and the leg wind was extremely fast, but the woman leaned back and avoided it unhurriedly.

The man clasped the table with his left hand, took advantage of the trend, turned around, and struck out with his right palm. A series of movements are completed in a few blinks of an eye, compared to speed.

The woman's phoenix eyes were picked, rolled to the right, grabbed the long sword and got up to block up, and then drove the person above to turn over, slid forward, and hit her left palm, with strong internal force, and immediately knocked the man back a few steps.

Which is stronger and which is weak, the superior is judged.

It is really surprising that a woman has such a strong internal force and is so responsive.

The three of them realized that they were no match for the woman in purple and took a few steps back. The guests who had not moved at the surrounding tables suddenly stood up, drew their daggers from their bodies, and glared angrily.

It turned out to be all in one group!

The door was closed at some point. The entire hall was deadlocked, and there was silence for a while.

It turned out to be a den of thieves?

Gu Zhan's heart is not good.

The competition and grievances between Gou Lutang and Lingxiao Palace are not something that can be solved in a while, if the two of them accidentally get involved today, it will be endless troubles.

Gu Zhan glanced at Ah Ying and reacted carefully.

The two quietly got up and moved backwards.

"Heh, has Lingxiao Palace been reduced to the point of fighting in groups, I really overestimate you" The woman in purple held her sword and chuckled, full of mockery.

"Who are you, report your name!"

The woman in purple turned her head to look at the person who spoke, and said funny: "Your subordinates are defeated, you don't need to know." The voice was flat and cold, irritating the pores of everyone present like cold water poured on the head.

The leading man's lips pursed, green muscles appeared, and he shouted: "Up!".

A group of Lingxiao Palace killers swarmed up.

After all, the duel between killers is not like ordinary people fighting, it is about speed and brains.

Everyone took turns to attack, and a wave of unevenness rose again and again, fast and ruthless, leaving no room for error.

The woman in purple was surrounded by a group, but she did not mess with herself.

With a "bang", a silver needle flew out silently, approaching the back of the woman's neck.

The woman's eyes flashed, but she was restrained left and right and had no way to dodge. frowned,

Hearing the sound of "brushing", the silver light flashed, and the long sword broke through the air, and the cold light suddenly overflowed.

The woman swept hard, the long sword was sharp, and where it touched, the flesh and blood were blurred.

Yi Xing Sword! Zhao Qingluan!

As early as when everyone was besieging them, Gu Zhan and Ah Ying hid behind the counter, intending to wait for an opportunity to slip away. This kind of thing, don't mix it up.

As soon as the woman drew her sword, the two of them were stunned.

I'm obedient, Zhao Qingluan himself, Gu Zhan thought to himself, these people are also really back, and the scolding behind their backs is still heard by the main owner. Who is this Zhao Qingluan, how can he allow others to kick his nose in the face?

Zhao Qingluan stood with a sword in his hand, and the cold was pressing. Suddenly, he turned his head and swept to Gu Zhan's side, and both of them were stunned.

Zhao Qingluan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled at the two of them quietly.

"You are Zhao Qingluan?!"

The leading brother stretched out his hand and pointed directly, a little shocked, and cold sweat flowed on his back. This time it was really unlucky, he bumped into this mother-in-law, and he really regretted not covering his brother's rotten mouth!

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Qingluan's mouth, and there was still blood on the long sword.

She looked at each other as if she were looking at her prey, and did not reply. The right hand suddenly moved, without the slightest fancy movement, and the long sword went straight out, and between the lightning and flint, it had already sunk into the chest of the person who had talked a lot just now.

The man was still stunned, and he didn't react until he died, and his face turned pale and lost his life.

When the leader saw this scene, he knew that today's casualties were indispensable, so he made a decision immediately, and with a wave of his wrist, a new round of fighting began.
