The screams at the mouth of the alley of the Yuezhou River Crossing Post Station gradually stopped, and finally only a gray-robed man covered in blood came out, he seemed to be quite satisfied with his current outfit, put away his sword, sheathed it, straightened his clothes, and walked to the river crossing dock with his sword in his arms.

After the two gray-robed sword-hugging men left by boat, Xiao Er took some strong men to the entrance of the alley, and it seemed that those straw mats and ropes in their hands seemed to be in their hands, and they saw Xiao Er raise his hand and make a gesture, and those men walked into the alley and wrapped those extra things with straw mats and took them away.

In the early hours of the morning, it seemed that nothing special had happened at the whole river crossing station, and it was calm again.

Hangzhou City, Yijian Villa

Lin Manliu rubbed his eyes and got up, stretched his waist, and suddenly found that the sun was almost higher than his window frame, and hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed thinking about why he slept so deeply, in normal days, he should wake up when the sky is slightly bright in the morning.

While thinking about it, he suddenly saw that the dining table in the house was still cleaned up, and the short-shirted young man thought to himself, this subordinate of Yijian Villa is so diligent? Even before anyone left the house, they could come in and pack their things, and they wanted to see if there were any leftovers on the table to make do with the cold juice.

I had no choice but to get up and put on my clothes, fasten my two short swords and walk out of the door, as soon as I went out, Lin Manliu felt a little strange, it was too quiet to go out from the time I got up to now, and turned my head to look at the next room, the door was just hidden and not closed.

The young man in the short shirt knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly walked to the house of the moon cold branch, and the vigilant left hand that had just arrived at the door held Shan Yexing and slowly pulled out the scabbard, and the tip of the sword was against the gap in the door and slowly opened.

However, it was soon confirmed that there was no one in the house, and there was no trace of dirty rummaging, Lin Manliu vigilantly looked around the house and found a letter on the edge of the bed, and only a full word was written on the envelope, which was the handwriting of Yue Hanzhi.

The boy in the shirt opened the envelope and opened the folded letter.

"I need to leave for Jiangning some time ago, but looking at the way you practice the sword, I always want to see what it will be like to open the village at that time..... Hope cherished, month".

At the end of the part, there was something written, but the words were crossed by the ink and could not be seen, Lin Manliu didn't care about putting away the envelope and ran out of the courtyard quickly, and when he saw people, he asked if he had seen the woman in blue who entered the village with him, and no one in the villa could answer, and he waited until the young man ran to the main hall before he found that his behavior was a little abrupt and impolite.

I thought about going to Ye Dang to listen to and ask, but I saw a young man in pink clothes leaning against the pillars on the outer edge of the main hall, he was leisurely leaning on the pillars and seemed to be enjoying the breeze that suddenly floated here, Lin Manliu was just about to speak, when he heard the young man in pink shaking his head there and saying, "The girl left by herself half an hour ago."

The young man in the short shirt knew what he wanted to ask and thanked him and left, and the groom who found the villa borrowed a horse and led him to the north gate, thinking that he could catch up with the moon cold branch.

Out of the city less than a mile into a bamboo forest, there are no pedestrians on the road, at this time Lin Manliu is still walking forward without direction, it seems that the moon girl is in front of him, he wants to thank him face to face for these days of care and encouragement.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion at the corner of the road ahead, and the young man in the short shirt hurriedly stopped his horse, quietly tied the horse to the bamboo and wood on the side of the road, and slowly pulled out the sheath of the mountain field on his waist and looked forward.

I saw that around the corner was a luxuriously arranged carriage, seven or eight guards dressed as big men were guarding the carriage to prevent the black-clothed people on the outside from approaching, this carriage was a little familiar, and my heart moved slightly and remembered that this was Jiang Yanlin's carriage, only to see that the black-clothed people on the outside were completely crushed and wantonly injured these guards, but they didn't directly kill them directly.

As if he wanted to torture these guards slowly, Lin Manliu made sure that there was no one else around after careful observation, and decided to help. With a wave of his left hand, he waved his arm and threw it forward, targeting the neck of a black-clad masked man.

Just when Shan Yexing just got out of his hand, suddenly a silver needle as thin as a hair shot out from nowhere, and the sound of breaking through the air roared and stabbed directly on the sword body of Shan Yexing, which was still spinning.

Such a small silver needle actually directly knocked down the high-speed spinning short sword, and left a small white mark on the sword body. The black-clothed masked men also heard the noise behind them, and turned to look at the location where Lin Manliu was hidden, each holding a black short knife just like the color of the clothes on their bodies.

Seeing this, the short-shirted young man first rolled forward and grabbed the mountain on the ground, and then pulled out the spring window butterfly behind him, holding the sword in both hands and facing these black-clothed people, since there was no way to hide, he would fight.

A strange birdsong suddenly sounded in the air, "Coo-goo-" The black-clothed masked people seemed to have received instructions, and they were orderly divided into three people in front of them, standing back to back, facing Lin Manliu's knife forward to face the short-shirted young man in front of the enemy, and the three people with their backs continued to walk in the direction of the carriage.

This time it seemed that he was moving with murderous intentions, and when he met with the guards, one of the guards was wiped by the black-clothed masked man, and blood was splashed all over the ground, and the other guards saw this, and quickly filled the vacancy just now, and continued to fight against the three black-clothed men.

On Lin Manliu's side, the three men in black were just blocking his offensive moves, and they didn't have much desire to attack him. The short-shirted boy looked at the guards who were falling one after another behind them, and secretly wondered in his heart what the purpose of these people was, why they were only blocking themselves and not fighting the enemy together.

At this moment, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and Jiang Yanlin rushed out of the carriage with his long sword, shouting: "I fought with you!" You want my life, no way! ”。

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked back to the wheel of the carriage by a man in black, and then he was kicked to the ground. Allowing him to break out of the position surrounded by the three, Lin Manliu quickly rushed into the carriage formation to stop the black-clad masked men who wanted to continue to kill the guards.

The short-shirted boy stabbed his two swords together, one sword after another stabbed and slashed to block the attack of the black-clothed people, but there were also some blades that pierced Lin Manliu's forearm through the barrier of the two short swords, but it seemed that they could not cut the boy's forearm.

The difference between the two arms is that there is an extra pair of bracers, which are quite ordinary and very simple black bracers, but if the caravan man or Yue Hanzhi is on the side, they will know what this ordinary black cloth bracer is, which is the black cloth strip that has been wrapped around the body of the Spring Window Butterfly Sword before-wearing an iron coat.

In the process of practicing swords in the past few days, one afternoon the old liar Ye Dangting in the yellow shirt suddenly showed his bracer remade with black strips of cloth in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it, but the cloth Ye Dangting threw it directly to himself, so that he could use it to protect his hands when he went out to avoid being deliberately attacked by the enemy on his forearm.

Today, the bamboo forest outside the city was in distress and immediately came into use, Lin Manliu wantonly took out his sword by the side of the carriage, as long as it was not some powerful mutual slashing, when the two short swords were not caught, he let the blades of the sword slash through the black cloth bracers on his arms, not at all worried that these black cloth strips would be broken by the slash.

After a few moves against the enemy, Lin Manliu urged the Spring Window Butterfly in his right hand to collide with the black-clothed man's knife body, followed by the sound of artifacts shattering after the metal collision, of course, the short knife in the black-clothed man's hand was broken by the blade directly cut by the Spring Window Butterfly.

The short knives of the two men in black had been severed by the young man, and the others began to be wary of the short-shirted young man in front of them, and at that moment the strange birdsong sounded again, but it seemed to be a little different from the pronunciation just now.

"Goo-goo, goo-goo, goo-goo-goo"

The man in black seemed to have received some order again, and after making a feint with the young man in front of him, he immediately scattered in one direction and fled to the depths of the bamboo forest, and disappeared without a trace after a short time.

"Brother Liu!! I was able to meet Brother Liu again today, or saved me from the trouble, and I thanked Brother Liu for saving my life!! Jiang Yanlin, who staggered up beside the carriage, hurriedly walked forward and said to the young man in front of him who was as tall as himself.
