A.D. 1547, the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing!

Since October of the 21st year of Jiajing, the "Renyin Palace Change" broke out, Emperor Jiajing almost died at the hands of the palace maid, and the frightened Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, and the first assistant Yan Song began his road to power. persecuting loyal ministers and mutilating the people, the whole world is under the governance of Yan Song, making the people's livelihood miserable, unjust cases are repeated, ghosts and ghosts are rampant, and the world is in chaos.

On an official road, a tall black horse was galloping fast, and on horseback, a young man was riding on it, no matter how fast the black horse ran, the young man's body was still steady as loose, unmoving.

This person is Ye Xuan, who "escaped from marriage", at this time it has been seven or eight days since he left Huaining County, in order to be able to rush to Guobei County within the time specified in the task, Ye Xuan has run nearly two hundred miles on horseback every day, neither fast nor slow, at this time he has come to the vicinity of Huangshan, he has inquired, I heard that I need to go forward along the official road, that is, Quzhou, Zhejiang, and then go to the official road to the north, you can enter Jinhua, the journey is about three or four days, if there is no accident, The time to rush to Guobei County should be more than enough.

Of course, there may also be some accidents, such as bandits blocking the road and robbing, in the past seven or eight days, Ye Xuan has encountered no less than ten roadblocks and robberies, sometimes the distance between the two robbers is not even ten miles, just met the robbers on this mountain, walked to the next mountain, and met a group of bandits.

However, many of these bandits are ordinary people who can't survive in this troubled world, in order to survive, they have to fall into the grass to survive, and many of the weapons in their hands are wooden sticks or stones, for these bandits, Ye Xuan just didn't embarrass them, and let them go after a little lesson, sometimes seeing that they are hungry, they will throw some rice grain in the storage space to them.

As for the fierce gods. With knives and guns in hand, the thieves who robbed money and lives, Ye Xuan would always take extra effort to solve them all, and even directly found their lair and washed them in blood.

Riding a horse on the official road, the sky was getting dark, anyway, there was still a lot of time, Ye Xuan had no intention of walking at night, so he urged the horse to get off the official road and enter a small town.

The town is called Donglinxi Town. It was a small town, and as soon as he walked into this East Linxi Town, Ye Xuan felt that there seemed to be a strange aura enveloping the entire town.

Although it was not really dark, the streets of the whole town were already very crowded with pedestrians, and even the shops on the side of the street had closed early, and the wooden doors were close to each other, and there was no light except for a few dim lights peeking through the cracks in the doors.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud in the silent night, and some people hiding in their homes heard the sound of horses' hooves and hurriedly looked through the crack in the door. Ye Xuan could even hear the sound of breathing coming from behind the door panel.

After feeling this, Ye Xuan couldn't help frowning, could there be something wrong with this town?

Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Xuan did not have any intention of retreating. Still riding a horse forward, after walking straight for hundreds of meters, I saw an inn with a cloth sign hanging in front of the shop and a half-closed door.

Put your right hand on the horse's back. The figure fell from the horse lightly, and casually tied the horse's reins to the wooden fence outside the inn, Ye Xuan walked towards the door of the inn.

Babble! －－

The door was pushed open. It was very clear in the silence of the inn.

"Hey, guest officer, it's so late, are you here to stay at the hotel?" Hearing the sound of the door, the shopkeeper who was originally sitting bored with counting mosquitoes in the store suddenly stood up and greeted him warmly.

"Hmm!" Ye Xuan nodded, and looked at the environment in the inn, only to see that the inn was extremely deserted, except for the shopkeeper standing behind the silver cabinet and the shopkeeper in front of him, there was only a table of three men with swords, a sideways face, and a bad complexion.

"Prepare some food and an upper room for me, and then bring my horse in and feed me some good food!" Ye Xuan waved his hand, and a small silver horn of one or two crossed a parabola and fell into the hands of the shopkeeper, and then casually found a place in the hall and sat down.

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a minute!" After receiving the money, Xiao Er of the shop showed a flattering smile on his face, first ran over to help Ye Xuan wipe the table, poured a cup of tea, and then quickly ran to prepare things.

After the three men with swords next to them saw the silver taels that Ye Xuan threw casually, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the three people, and after the three of them looked at each other, a cruel smile appeared on their faces, picked up the sword on the table, and walked towards the table where Ye Xuan was sitting with a big grin.

There was only one shopkeeper left in the inn, and the shopkeeper saw three big men walking towards Ye Xuan with swords, sighed in a low voice, glanced at Ye Xuan with pity, shook his head, and then lowered his head as if to be busy with his own affairs.

The three of them walked to Ye Xuan's side, and one of them put the big knife in his hand on Ye Xuan's table, making a "bang" sound, causing the tea in the teacup to ripple a little.

"Boy, the uncles forgot to bring money when they went out today, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, I asked you to borrow twenty taels of silver, you won't borrow it, right?" One of the men stepped on a chair next to him and said to Ye Xuan in a rough manner.

Glancing at the three men around him, Ye Xuan frowned slightly, glanced at the big knife on the table, and said lightly: "It's okay to borrow, but how about I perform a trick for you before borrowing?" ”

"Yaha, there is still a trick to see, then you can give the three of us buddies a performance, if the performance is good, the three of us will be happy, and we will reward you with one or two copper plates."

"Then I'll borrow your knife first." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, reached out to take the big knife on the table, the big man next to him was startled, and wanted to take back his weapon and not let Ye Xuan touch it, but who knew that Ye Xuan's movements looked slow, but the real speed was not slow, and he took the big knife in his hand at once, so that the big man's hand fell into the void.

This made the three big men startled, thinking that Ye Xuan wanted to make a move, the other two pulled out the swords in their hands one after another, and the three of them waited for them.

Looking at the appearance of the three people, Ye Xuan smiled faintly, ignored them, but held the handle of the big knife in one hand, and stretched out his index finger and middle finger with the other hand to clamp a small section in front of the big knife, and then used a slight force.

Click! A small section in front of the broadsword was broken in response, and the fracture was neat and smooth, as if it had been cut off by a divine weapon.

"How about it, three, can my trick still enter the eyes of three?" Ye Xuan glanced at the three big men around him with a smile, and his fingers moved forward on the knife body again, as if he was folding a wooden strip, with a slight force, and another click, another blade appeared in his hand.
