The screams in the alley of Yuezhou Duhe Station gradually subsided, and finally only a man in gray robe covered with blood came out. He seemed quite satisfied with his current attire. He sheathed his sword, straightened his clothes, held the sword in his arms and walked towards the ferry dock.

.

After the two men in gray robes and holding swords left in the boat, the waiter of the inn took some strong men to the entrance of the alley. They seemed to have some straw mats and ropes in their hands. The waiter raised his hand and said:

With a gesture, the men walked into the alley, wrapped the extra things tightly in straw mats, and took them away.

At this early morning, it seemed that nothing special happened at the entire river crossing station, and everything became peaceful again.

Hangzhou City, Yijian Villa

Lin Manliu rubbed his eyes and stood up. He stretched and suddenly realized that the sun was almost higher than his window frame. He hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and thought about why he slept so deeply. Normally, the sky should be slightly brighter in the morning.

Awake.

While thinking, he suddenly saw that the dining table in the house was still clean. The boy in a short shirt thought to himself that the servants of Yijian Villa were so diligent. He could come in and pack things before anyone even left the house. He was still thinking

Check to see if there are any leftovers or cold juice on the table to make do with it.

He had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, tied on his two daggers and walked out. As soon as he went out, Lin Manliu felt a little strange. It had been too quiet since he got up until now when he went out. He turned to look at the room next door.

, the door was just left open but not closed.

The boy in the short shirt knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly walked towards Yue Hanzhi's house. When he arrived at the door, he clenched Shan Ye Xing's vigilant left hand and slowly pulled out the scabbard. The tip of the sword pressed against the gap in the door and slowly opened it.

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

's handwriting.

The boy in a short shirt opened the envelope and unfolded the folded letter.

"It was necessary to leave for Jiangning a few days ago, but seeing you practicing swordsmanship, I always wanted to see what it would be like to open the village by then. I have already met me and set off. I may not see you again in the future.

See... I hope you will cherish it, the moon."

There was originally something else written at the end, but it was scratched out by the ink and the written words could not be seen. Lin Manliu ran out of the small courtyard without even bothering to collect the envelope. He asked people he saw if they had seen it.

No one in the villa could answer the woman in blue who entered the villa with him. It wasn't until the young man ran to the main hall that he realized that his behavior was a bit abrupt and impolite.

Thinking about asking Ye Dangteng to inquire, he saw a young man in pink clothes leaning on the pillars outside the main hall. He was leaning leisurely on the pillars and seemed to be enjoying the breeze that suddenly drifted here. Lin Man

Just as Liu was about to speak out, he heard the young man in pink shaking his head and saying, "Miss Yue left on her own half an hour ago."

The young man in a short shirt thanked him and left after knowing what he wanted to ask about. He found the groom of the villa and borrowed a horse and led him to the north city gate, wondering if he could catch up with Yue Hanzhi.

Less than a mile out of the city, they entered a bamboo forest. There were no pedestrians on the road. At this time, Lin Manliu was still riding his horse forward without any direction. It seemed that Miss Yue was in front of him. He wanted to thank these people in person.

Take care and encourage yourself every day.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting at the corner of the road ahead. The young man in a short shirt hurriedly reined in his horse and quietly tied it to a bamboo tree on the roadside. He slowly unsheathed the mountain bike around his waist and looked forward.

past.

I saw a luxuriously decorated carriage at the corner. Seven or eight big men dressed as guards were protecting the carriage to prevent the men in black from approaching. This carriage looked familiar. I thought about it and remembered that this was it.

Is it Jiang Yanlin's carriage? The men in black on the outside were completely crushing them and wantonly injuring the guards, but they did not directly kill them with ruthless hands.

As if he wanted to slowly torture these guards, Lin Manliu carefully observed and confirmed that there was no one else around, so he decided to help. He lifted Shan Yexing with his left hand, raised his arm, and prepared to throw it forward. The target was a man in black.

The neck of the masked man.

Just when Shan Yexing was about to get out of his hand, a silver needle as thin as a hair suddenly shot out from nowhere, making a roaring sound as it pierced through the air and directly pierced the sword body of Shan Yexing, which was still spinning.

Such a tiny silver needle actually knocked down the high-speed spinning dagger, leaving a large white mark on the blade. The masked men in black also heard the noise behind them and turned to look at Lin Man.

In the six hidden positions, everyone is holding a black short knife, just like the color of their clothes.

Upon seeing this, the young man in a short shirt first rolled forward and grabbed Shan Ye Xing on the ground. Then he pulled out the spring window butterfly from behind and faced these men in black with swords in both hands. Since he couldn't hide, he should fight.

Suddenly a strange bird song came from the air, "Cuckoo--Cuckoo--Cuckoo--" The masked people in black seemed to have received the instructions, and they divided into three people in an orderly manner, standing back to back.

Facing Lin Manliu's sword-wielding boy in short shirt standing in front of him, the three people with their backs turned continued to walk in the direction of the carriage.

This time, he seemed to be murderous. As soon as he met the guards, one of the guards was wiped on the neck by a masked man in black. Blood splashed all over the floor. Seeing this, the other guards quickly filled in the gaps and continued to follow the guard.

Three men in black exchanged blows with the enemy.

On Lin Manliu's side, the three men in black were just blocking his offensive moves and did not have much desire to attack him. The boy in short shirt looked at the guards falling one after another behind them and thought to himself.

What is the purpose of these people? Why are they just blocking me and not attacking the enemy with a killing move?

At this moment, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and Jiang Yanlin was seen rushing out of the carriage with his long sword, shouting: "I will fight you! If you want my life, there is no way!".

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked back to the carriage wheel by a man in black, and was immediately kicked to the ground. At this time, the three men in black, who did not know how to guard against the boy in short shirts, slowed down their attack.

Many, immediately observed that "there is a flaw!" allowing him to break out of the position surrounded by three people, Lin Manliu quickly rushed into the carriage formation to stop the masked men in black who wanted to continue killing the guards.

The boy in the short shirt used two swords with both hands, thrusting and slashing one after another to block the attack of the men in black. However, some of the sword blades passed through the obstruction of the two daggers and stabbed Lin Manliu's forearm.

But it seemed impossible to cut the boy's forearm.

The difference between the two arms is that there is a pair of wrist guards, which are quite ordinary and simple black wrist guards. However, if a caravan man or Yue Hanzhi is nearby, he will know what these ordinary black cloth wrist guards are.

It was the black cloth strip that had been wrapping the Spring Chuangdie sword body before - the iron coat.

In the process of sword practice these days, one afternoon Ye Dangting, an old liar in a yellow shirt, suddenly displayed a wristband made of black cloth strips in front of him. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but Ye Dangting threw the cloth directly to him.

He can use it to protect himself when he goes out to avoid being deliberately attacked by enemies on his forearms.

Today, the bamboo forest outside the city was in danger and it was immediately put to use. Lin Manliu used his sword arbitrarily beside the carriage. As long as it was not some powerful slashes, when the two daggers were not caught, he let the blades swipe across his arms.

There is no worry that these black cloth strips will be broken by slashing.

After seizing the opportunity several times against the enemy, Lin Manliu activated the spring window butterfly in his right hand to collide with the blade of the man in black. Then there was the sound of metal objects breaking after the collision. Of course, it was in the hands of the man in black.

The short sword was broken by Chun Chuangdie's direct slash.

The daggers of two of the men in black had been cut off by the young man, and the others began to be wary of the young man in short shirts in front of them. At this moment, the strange bird song sounded again, but it seemed to be slightly different from the pronunciation just now.

"Coo-coo, coo, coo-coo"

The man in black seemed to have received another order, and after a feint attack with the young man in front of him, he immediately dispersed in one direction and fled deep into the bamboo forest, disappearing without a trace not long after.

"Brother Liu!!! I can actually meet Brother Liu again today, and he saved me from trouble. Yanlin thanks Brother Liu for saving my life!!!" Jiang Yanlin staggered up next to the carriage and walked forward hurriedly to face him and him.
Chapter completed!
