Chapter 133

~11 min read 2,151 words

The youth's name is Xie Yuan, who passed Yuan Chong's test and was granted the Heavenly Wolf Sword Art and the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword.

His aptitude is above average, but he has a kind heart.

It was precisely because of this that he was given the sword scripture and the cold sword.

With the Heavenly Wolf Sword Art enhanced by the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword, it jumped from Excellent Tier to Fine Tier, allowing Xie Yuan to progress rapidly.

In just a few short days, he had already entered the door.

With diligent study and hard training for seven or eight years, he would be able to catch up to the current Zhao Mingqian.

Then he heard the news of the greenwood bandit remnants' bounty, brought gold and silver, and set out with the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword to protect Chu Danqing.

When he heard this, Chu Danqing only felt "damn," a young person who hadn't practiced martial arts for three months really dared to do this.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened.

He didn't take the wrong road when he left, but he was young and had little experience, so he was easily deceived as soon as he left.

Even the Heavenly Wolf Sword Scripture was rubbed and taken away, and he only realized it later and chased after them to get it back.

As for the man in black who sneaked into the room where Chu Danqing was staying, he was being chased and hid in, thinking of diverting the disaster.

Unfortunately, he had just entered, and before his plan could be implemented, he was killed by Da Bao.

Xie Yuan tracked him all the way here, and then he was also pinned down by Da Bao.

If Chu Danqing hadn't recognized the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword, Xie Yuan would also have been hung on the beam dripping blood.

"What is a child doing wandering the Jianghu..." Chu Danqing listened to the cause and effect and said helplessly while holding his forehead.

Zhao Mingqian dared to go out at sixteen; firstly, he had practiced martial arts since childhood, and secondly, he came from the Can Luo Sect and was influenced by it.

Xie Yuan is different; he was the son of a landlord since childhood, and the most he did was read and write. He learned the way of a gentleman in his conduct, which can be said to be ignorant of the world.

The normal path is to pass the scholar exam, then inherit the family business, and give up idealism after being beaten by reality.

As a result, he changed paths halfway because of practicing martial arts.

"Forget it, have you recovered the rubbing of the Heavenly Wolf Sword Scripture?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Including the one in your hand, they have all been recovered." Xie Yuan just lacked experience and knowledge, which didn't mean his brain wasn't working.

Knowing he was deceived, he naturally chased to recover it immediately.

There were no waves in the process.

"It's just that these three people have unusual backgrounds; they are the disciples and children of the famous Yin Wind and Poison Sand in the Jianghu." Xie Yuan's face was slightly bitter.

He only found out their identities during the chase.

Chu Danqing didn't know Yin Wind and Poison Sand, nor had he heard of them.

In the Taichang Dynasty, the original hierarchy was Imperial Court > Greenwood > Jianghu.

These Jianghu people and Jianghu sects actually didn't have much presence.

They were more like a group of wild beasts living in seclusion, rarely involved.

"How do they compare to Senior Yuan?" Chu Danqing asked.

"If you meet one of the couple, they are naturally no match for Master Yuan," Xie Yuan said: "But the couple is inseparable, and when they join forces, Master Yuan is naturally inferior."

"Can a team of Imperial Yulin guards chop them into meat paste?" Chu Danqing increased the difficulty again.

Xie Yuan was stunned by Chu Danqing's question; everyone was just fighting at the village entrance, so why did you bring in the regular army?

"Yes," Xie Yuan answered honestly. He only then realized that the person in front of him was a big shot who held the Capital Camp, the Imperial Yulin guards, and the Secret Service before resigning.

He felt it was a big deal, but in Chu Danqing's eyes, the so-called Yin Wind and Poison Sand couple were just street thugs.

Even worse than those greenwood bandits; at least the greenwood bandits really dared to attack the Imperial Palace.

"Oh, then don't worry. Let them come; I will deal with them myself." Chu Danqing thought they were very strong, but it turned out to be just this.

As long as they don't go mad and lose their sanity like Zhang Cai, Jianghu people are very easy to deal with.

Having high-level, low-quality skills but not enough matching attributes, Da Bao is not afraid at all.

"Exactly, you come with me; I'll take a detour to send you to Can Luoshan to see Yuan Chong," Chu Danqing continued.

Xie Yuan lacks experience, and Chu Danqing is not very reassured about him going back alone.

But sending Xie Yuan back is not on the same road, so he might as well take a detour to Can Luoshan to see the number one sect in the world.

"Master Yuan might not be at Can Luoshan; he might have returned to Yuan Family Manor," Xie Yuan asked hesitantly.

He knew Yuan Chong went to Can Luoshan to discuss the marriage of Zhao Mingqian and Yuan Shanhu, but how long had it been since then? The marriage had already been completed.

"If he's not there, there are others; I will entrust them to send you home." Chu Danqing didn't care if he could see Yuan Chong; who knew where he had run off to fight again?

The main thing is to send people back. Can Luo Sect is such a big sect, there must be people going out to travel and train; just treat it as a mission.

Chu Danqing said it so bluntly that Xie Yuan finally understood and couldn't help but blush.

"That's not good, right?" Xie Yuan felt he wasn't a child anymore.

"That's decided." Chu Danqing decided it directly.

After experiencing this, Xie Yuan indeed understood the difference between home and outside.

"Then thank you, Commander Chu." Xie Yuan was really panicked about going back alone.

As the saying goes, once the spirit is gone, he didn't have that much hot blood.

Subsequently, the two began to contact the government and deal with the corpses. The person wearing night-traveling clothes was soon identified by the yamen runners as a wanted criminal by the imperial court.

They were just dragged to the government office to wait for further confirmation.

Not only this person, but Chu Danqing also learned that the Yin Wind and Poison Sand couple were also wanted criminals on the list.

They had once committed a murder case of wiping out a whole family.

This couple, the man is good at Yin Wind Palm, and the woman is good at Poison Sand Palm.

Although the palm techniques practiced by the two are different, they have practiced a set of combined attack arts.

Their moves are sinister and strange, and there are few rivals in the Jianghu.

But it is limited to the Jianghu; if it were the greenwood or the imperial court, they could only avoid them.

The process of handling it was not slow; the main thing was that the shopkeeper was scared.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing changed to a room after adding money and gave compensation.

The temptation of money overcame the bad luck of the dead.

The next day, he took a carriage directly to Can Luoshan.

On the way, after Chu Danqing finished his daily tasks, he further understood Xie Yuan's situation.

No matter what, he was using the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword he had opened, so it was reasonable to understand the situation.

The other party came from a scholarly family and had quite a lot of assets.

After a careful understanding, it was about the same as Yuan Family Manor.

It can only be said that Yuan Chong is indeed very good at finding people.

Without family background, even if you give the Heavenly Wolf Sword Scripture to the other party, they won't be able to practice it.

And life is happy, parents are enlightened, not stubborn old fossils.

They are extremely supportive of him abandoning literature for martial arts.

Just as they were chatting, Xie Yuan suddenly paused and whispered: "Commander Chu, those two are the Yin Wind and Poison Sand couple."

He pointed secretly, and Chu Danqing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a man and a woman on the side of the road ahead feeding two red horses.

"What's the situation?" Chu Danqing asked.

"They must be chasing me," Xie Yuan continued to whisper: "Their pair of children and a disciple got my Heavenly Wolf Sword Scripture and knew it was extraordinary."

"So they notified these two to come for help, but they were one step late."

Xie Yuan felt so lucky; if he hadn't met Chu Danqing, he would have been dead if he had met these two people.

Chu Danqing was thinking, should he strike first?

With his current strength, it would be easy for Da Bao to kill them both.

Plus a sneak attack, the difficulty would be even lower.

These two are strong in the Yin Wind and Poison Sand combined palm technique; losing one person would cause their strength to plummet immediately.

Just as he was thinking, Da Bao, who was following the carriage, suddenly stood up and reached out to grab a poison dart that was flying over.

Chu Danqing couldn't understand why these two suddenly made a move.

"You dog official, today I will avenge the greenwood heroes!" The two shouted in unison, trying to gain the upper hand, and at the same time, they both lashed out and killed Chu Danqing.

Now Chu Danqing understood why; the Yin Wind and Poison Sand couple didn't recognize Xie Yuan, but intended to kill him to find the group of greenwood robbers for the bounty.

They probably found out his route from somewhere and waited here, not just for the Heavenly Wolf Sword Scripture, but mainly for money.

The momentum was not small, but Da Bao was one step faster.

Tearing Claws activated, piercing them through before they could get close to Chu Danqing.

An expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

In their minds, their martial arts had already reached the peak, and they had made the first move and even tried to intimidate him.

How could they not even get close?

Da Bao's sharp claws were pulled out from their chests, bringing out their viscera, which had been torn to pieces.

"A million-flower bounty, it seems, makes many people take risks," Chu Danqing muttered.

He didn't hide his tracks, so it wasn't hard to understand being tracked.

Chu Danqing looked at the two corpses; there was no treasure chest.

Perhaps he would have to deal with all the pursuers before he could obtain it.

It's just that Chu Danqing was worried that there wouldn't be enough time.

Otherwise, should he find a way to set an ambush and gather all these people who had the guts of a bear and a leopard and kill them together?

They all wanted Chu Danqing's life, so Chu Danqing naturally couldn't be soft-hearted.

Chu Danqing is a kind person, not a selfless saint.

He has his own sense of right and wrong.

Xie Yuan had just drawn the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword when the battle was already over.

He was dumbfounded and could only reluctantly return the Heavenly Wolf Cold Sword to its sheath.

He sighed in his heart that there is indeed a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people.

"Little Brother Xie, how much do you know about the million-flower bounty? Tell me in detail," Chu Danqing asked after letting Da Bao loot the corpses, but finding nothing, he threw them to the side of the road.

Hearing about the million-flower bounty, Xie Yuan went through his mind and said: "I was in a hurry, so I don't know much, only some rumors."

"After you suppressed the bandits, logically speaking, these greenwood bandits wouldn't be able to come up with so much money."

"There are rumors that this money comes from Sushan," Xie Yuan said immediately: "You and General Xiong are both heart-and-gut troubles for Sushan."

"You pacified the internal troubles of the greenwood in Taichang, and General Xiong blocked the external troubles of Sushan."

"Although the current Emperor is young, he has the demeanor of a wise ruler; in the long run, he will surely be able to restore Taichang to its former prosperity."
