"Hold on tight, this is a sword that my parents specially made for me by a master. If it breaks, you won't be able to find a second one, and you won't have to pay even if you want!" Xu Yue reminded jokingly.

Liu Zi hurriedly hugged the surprisingly heavy sword in his arms, swallowed nervously, and then nodded and promised that he would be careful.

It can be seen that Yu Tiezhu dotes on Liu Zi, his apprentice, and although his fellow apprentices also like to tease him, when they really have to go on their way, Liu Zi only needs to carry a basket with a shovel on his back.

That weight is far inferior to Xu Yue's sword.

Not far away, Liuzi began to feel soreness in his hands. He tried his best to use his abdomen to push the fallen sword up and put it on his shoulders. He suddenly became energetic.

"Master, look, uncle and brothers, do you think I look like a hero?"

The young man carried the sword, took long steps, and walked around the team with great pride, successfully making everyone laugh.

Xu Erniang shook her head, feeling that this silly child was hopeless.

Xu Yue laughed helplessly. She actually thought this boy was quite cute. With such a person around, it would be much easier to go on the road.

However, as the group of people walked, the sound of horse hooves that made Xu Yue and Xu Erniang's hearts tense came from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw a team of ten cavalry approaching at extremely high speed. In the blink of an eye, they passed by Xu Yue and others and intercepted them.

They were wearing thin furs, and it was noon now. Half of their sleeves were taken off and tied around their waists, revealing their dark and strong shoulders. Their curly black hair was tied into two braids and hung down on their chests. Their facial features were deeper and their foreheads were more protruding.

At first glance, they look like aliens from the border.

This outfit is similar to the Xianbei cavalry that chased Xu Yue and others yesterday, but it can still be clearly distinguished that they are not Xianbei people.

"You Central Plains people, stop right here!"

The man in the lead spoke fluent Central Plains Mandarin without any accent. It was immediately obvious that this man had had dealings with the Daqing government for many years.

Yu Tiezhu and others stopped and did not panic. Apparently they had encountered this kind of thing too many times along the way.

Liuzi, who was carrying the sword, hurriedly took the sword into his arms and hid it. At the same time, he quietly moved to the Xu Yue sisters and whispered to them:

"My dear, don't be afraid. We have the general documents issued by the Xianbei prince. These Wuhuan people will not do anything to us."

"They were probably looking for someone else, so they stopped us for inspection. They couldn't distinguish our faces from the Central Plains, so they would stop us whenever they encountered a Central Plains person."

It's okay that Liu Zi didn't say the last words, but when he mentioned it, Xu Yue and Xu Erniang's hearts skipped a beat.

Are you here to find them?

Really afraid that something might come his way, Yu Tiezhu came forward to negotiate with the general documents, but these Wuhuan officers and soldiers did not let them go immediately, but turned their attention to Xu Yue and Xu Erniang.

Although the two sisters dress unisexly, their gender can still be seen from their height and body shape.

Yu Tiezhu and others did not recognize Xu Yue's gender at first, which was also related to the lack of bright light at night.

In addition, I have a preconceived notion that only men can be so brave, so I misjudge.

But now that the sky is clear and the sun is clear, these Wuhuan officers and soldiers are not blind.

"Do you still have female disciples in the Huokang Gang?" the leading officer and soldier asked.

Yu Tiezhu's heart suddenly sank. He did not answer hastily, but asked tentatively:

"My lords, has something big happened in the city?"

The leading officer's face turned cold, and he was about to scold Yu Tiezhu that this was something that a pariah like him should not be able to inquire about, when a money bag was held in front of him.

Their eyes met, one was condescending, the other cautiously respectful, and they both laughed.

The leading officer and soldier took the money bag, weighed it, and showed a meaningful smile.

Yu Tiezhu thought the bribery was successful, but the Xu Yue sisters, who were standing behind and watching everyone's every move, secretly thought something was wrong.

These people cannot be bribed. If you let them see your wealth, they will just rob you of it all!

When Yu Tiezhu was still thinking about how to test his tone, the leading officer and soldier suddenly stopped smiling and changed his face. He raised his knife and slashed at Yu Tiezhu!

The accident happened so fast that everyone had no time to react. They could only open their eyes wide and watch in disbelief as the shining knife struck Yu Tiezhu's body.

"Kill him!" Xu Yue whispered to Xu Erniang.

Anyway, it is impossible to live in peace. No matter if he is here to arrest them or not, he will not stop doing anything, so he might as well kill them first!

Just when Liu Zi was shocked, her arms suddenly became empty, and a dark green baggage was thrown at her feet with a bang. Xu Yue and Xu Erniang, who were still standing behind her, had disappeared.

Xu Erniang shot out the arrow from her sleeve, and the leading officer and soldier who raised the sword fell off their horses, as well as those behind him.

Xu Yue jumped up and raised the knife in her hand. Without any hesitation, she stabbed one person in the neck.

In less than a minute, all ten Wuhuan officers and soldiers opened their eyes wide and breathed out in disbelief.

The two sisters searched all ten people skillfully and found out a pile of things, including documents, arrest warrants, and shiny yellow pancakes.

The yellow pancake was stuffed directly into his arms. The clerk glanced at it and saw that it had nothing to do with me. He tore it up and put it back into the corpse's clothes.

There was only one arrest warrant left. When she opened it, Xu Erniang burst out laughing, "They actually want to arrest two young witches?"

She is the bright pope!

Xu Yue leaned over and glanced at it. There were two very terrifying portraits of 'female ghosts' on the arrest warrant. She shook her head speechlessly and stuffed the unsightly arrest warrant back into the corpse of the leading officer and soldier.

Then he called to Yu Tiezhu and others, "Come here and help move these corpses to the grass on the roadside!"

The two sisters were so skilled at killing, looting, and cleaning the scene that Yu Tiezhu and others didn't even react.

They didn't know what happened. These Wuhuan officials were already dead.

Liuzi swallowed hard and stumbled up. While suppressing the fear of dragging the body with Xu Yue, he asked in a trembling voice:

"Xu, Mr. Xu Engong, can you accept me as your disciple and teach me martial arts..."

Xu Yue raised her head and refused, "You don't have to!"

Xu Erniang was a pregnant woman. She couldn't do the physical work of moving corpses, and she couldn't bear the hard work of her sister, so she had to come to Yu Tiezhu and others and gently threatened them to hurry up and help.

After all the disciples of the Huokang Gang were dispatched, she took out her staff and completely destroyed any traces left at the scene of the crime.

When Xu Yue and others came back after disposing of the bodies of ten Wuhuan officials, there were no traces of a fight on the road just now.

The poor ten horses, with their big innocent eyes open, had no idea what was happening, and the owners on their backs had changed.

There are thirteen disciples in the Huokang Gang, including the two sisters Xu Yue, a total of fifteen.
