Wilderness, ruined temples, cold light, sword shadows, criss-crossed.

The wind was bitterly cold and the cold was biting.

The two sides are tense, and the big war is about to break out.

At this moment, a woman in ragged clothes came out of the merchant on the opposite side.

"Little Sixth Brother, is that you?"

The woman looked at Xiao Liu with a look of surprise, and her appearance instantly broke the tense situation of the confrontation.

"You are!"

Xiao Liu, who was stopped, also looked puzzled.

"I'm Magnolia, Yang Yulan."

The woman wiped her face with her hands, wiped away some of the dust, and pulled the veil off, revealing a delicate countenance.

"You are, Magnolia, are you really Magnolia?"

Xiao Liu finally recognized the woman, was instantly surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to Ji Chen and said, "Master Xiucai, it is an acquaintance, Yulan is from one of our villages, we came to Fenglin Town together to ask for a living, I became a servant, and she went to Yang's Mansion to be a maid." ”

Seeing that Ji Chen was indifferent, Xiao Liu was a little anxious, and said with some pleading: "It's really my own person, Xiucai Master!" ”

Ji Chen stared at the woman named Yulan, pointed a knife at the businessmen, and asked, "What is their relationship with you?" ”

Yulan hurriedly explained: "They are foot merchants hired by the Yang Mansion, and we could have arrived in Fenglin Town before dark, but we met bandits on the way and there was a battle, so we delayed the time and had to rush overnight." ”

After Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chen with a blank eye, she didn't understand why Xiaoliu and the other officials cared so much about this Xiucai's opinion.

In Maple Grove Town, except for a few major forces, these poor people can almost walk sideways.

Xiao Liu also looked at Ji Chen with a blank eye, "Master Xiucai, you are really your own person, I can guarantee it, with my life." ”

The first few people in the Zhao class also opened their mouths to help, "Master Xiucai, they are all their own people, there is no need to be like this, the Yang Mansion is a prestigious family in Fenglin Town, so it is not easy to offend." ”

They didn't want to clash with these people, let alone offend the Yang Mansion.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment, and finally put away the knife.

Zhao Bantou and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, it was naturally best to avoid a conflict.

In the border wilderness, don't provoke the foot merchants casually, they may be foot merchants, or they may be border bandits, they are all people who lick blood from the knife edge, and it is best not to fight if they can.

Especially the people of the Yang Mansion in this foot business, they can't be offended.

Seeing that Ji Chen put away the knife, the gang of men also put away the knife.

"Magnolia, come in."

Xiao Liu hurriedly beckoned Yulan to come in and sit down, and served her a bowl of hot broth.

Yulan put down her sword and first served a bowl to the woman who was with her, "Miss, eat it while it's hot!" ”

The young lady was not polite, put the sword aside, picked up the bowl and began to eat, and it was obvious that she was already hungry.

Xiao Liu glanced at Ji Chen, and when he saw that he didn't mean to blame, he gave Yulan another bowl.

Ji Chen didn't pay attention to it, but held the knife and leaned on the shrine to pretend to sleep, but in fact he was checking his attributes.

Lifespan: 80

Realm: Building the foundation

Exercise: Descending the Dragon Heart Method - the second layer

Knife Method: Draped Knife Method - Dacheng (can be promoted)

Kill: 400

Prestige: 53

The number of killing points has accumulated to four hundred, and the prestige has also increased a few points.

These points of prestige should come from Zhao Bantou and them.

The draped knife technique shows that it can be improved.

In fact, the draping knife technique has long been improved, but Ji Chen has been pressing and not improving.

He wanted to save the killing point to improve the dragon descending heart method, but the current environment was no longer able to help him, so it was better to improve the draping knife technique first, at least he could increase his strength a little.

He had a gut feeling that Magnolia was lying, and that these people were not foot traders at all.

So, Ji Chen got up and prepared to walk towards the outside of the temple.

"Master Xiucai, where are you going?" Zhao Bantou asked curiously.

"Great solution!"

Ji Chen left a sentence and walked towards the outside of the temple, stopped after just two steps, and said to Zhao Bantou, Xiao Liu and the others: "Don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say." ”

His words were mainly aimed at Xiao Liu, for fear that he would say that they were here to kill demons.

Zhao Bantou and they are quite stable, but Xiaoliu is an uncertain factor.

However, Xiao Liu's heart was on Yulan, so he just nodded, and he didn't know if he understood it.

Ji Chen walked out of the temple gate and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yulan glanced out of the door, slightly dissatisfied, so she asked in a very low voice, "Little Sixth Brother, why are you so afraid of him, isn't he just a down-and-out talent?" ”

Because Ji Chen was dressed very ordinary, he was dressed as a scholar, and he was holding a sword wrapped in strips of cloth, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar.

Since Ji Chen's horizontal knife was straight, Yulan naturally recognized it as a sword.

She has seen too many such down-and-out scholars.

The imperial court established the country with martial arts, and the Xia Emperor swept the Quartet Demon Emperor, pacified the Eight Desolate Forbidden Lands, overthrew the Huayu God Dynasty, and established the country in the imperial capital, calling himself Xia.

In the thirty-sixth year of Great Xia, the imperial court began to emphasize literature, and the status of scholars gradually improved, and a reading tide was set off throughout Great Xia.

But not all scholars have a good place to go, many people who are hungry and cold because of reading, and they can't let go of their identity as scholars to do coolies, and many people are starved to death.

So much so that many coolie dealers ridiculed the scholars, but fortunately they did not choose to study at the beginning, otherwise they would be like those down-and-out scholars, who would not be able to let go of their bodies to be coolies, and would be starved to death.

Therefore, in Yulan's opinion, the identity of the little sixth brother's servant completely ignored scholars like Ji Chen.

When Xiao Liu heard this, he hurriedly shushed.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiucai is a person with great ability, we came out with him this time, just to kill the demon."

"Demon slayer?" Yulan was surprised, "That scholar has such skills." ”

"No, just now, Master Xiucai killed a powerful monster."

Their conversation was quiet, but it was heard by the foot merchants. Even the first few people in the Zhao squad heard it, and they wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Bantou coughed and reminded Xiao Liu not to talk nonsense, and be careful of trouble coming out of his mouth.

Xiao Liu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Bantou, and said, "It's okay, Yulan is her own person, she won't talk nonsense." ”

Yulan glanced back at the young lady among the merchants, then looked outside the door, and asked, "The corpse demon outside was thrown out by you?" ”

Xiao Liu nodded, so he explained the matter of the county magistrate sending a reward post and Ji Chen receiving the post to kill the demon.

Yulan covered her mouth and exclaimed!

"Two thousand taels of silver, so much, it's enough for an ordinary family to live for most of its life, if you can arrange, put some land, real estate, stores, you can have food and clothing for a lifetime."

"Who says it isn't!" There was also a hint of envy and jealousy in Xiao Liu's tone.

At the same age, Ji Chen is already a demon slayer, and he is still receiving three taels of silver a month.

People are more angry than people!
