Chapter 103: Coming So Fast

"Please take me back to the County Government Office, Magistrate!"

"You are being chased and killed and want to seek shelter, right?" At this moment, Shen Yu guessed the other party's intention.

It seemed that the other party was truly at the end of her rope, with old injuries added to new ones; it was not easy to be able to hold on until now. And in the entire Baian County, I'm afraid only he had some strength to shelter her.

"I am Gu Xi of the Changyuan Escort Agency, and my father is Gu Zhendong, the Chief Escort of the Changyuan Escort Agency!"

"Changyuan Escort Agency?" Shen Yu had also heard of this name. The Changyuan Escort Agency was established a hundred years ago and was one of the best escort agencies in the Nanhua Domain. The daughter of the Chief Escort—this background was not small.

"Magistrate, some days ago, my Changyuan Escort Agency accepted an escort mission. The other party paid 100,000 taels of silver on the spot, signed the contract, and then our Changyuan Escort Agency set off!"

"Who knew we would encounter an ambush on the road? Dozens of people were almost wiped out, and even several uncles were killed to protect me. They have been chasing me relentlessly, and I have been fleeing all the way here. On this road, senior brothers were killed one by one to protect me, and now only I am left!"

"So miserable! Didn't you think about handing over the goods?" It seemed that opening an escort agency was also a life-risking job; if one was not careful and accepted such an escort mission, it would be a bloody loss.

"It concerns the reputation of my Changyuan Escort Agency. We have already received the money, and the contract has already been signed. If the escort is there, the person is there; if the escort is gone, the person is gone! Even if there is only one breath left, I must deliver the goods!"

"Magistrate, I know I can't escape, so I hope the Magistrate can shelter me for a period of time. If the Magistrate is unwilling, then..."

While speaking, the girl opposite actually started to take off her clothes, a scene that left Shen Yu dumbfounded. How was it? Were the little girls nowadays all so open? If they disagreed, they planned to use sex to lure him?

"Girl, in broad daylight, this is not good!"

If the person opposite was a young and beautiful girl, that would be fine, but this little girl now had the face of an aunt, which really made him unable to adapt.

However, Shen Yu knew he had thought wrong. After the other party took off her outer garment, she untied the middle layer of clothes and handed it over, and then immediately put the outer garment back on.

"Magistrate, this is what they want. If I encounter misfortune, I ask the Magistrate to help me deliver it to the Governor's Office of the Nanhua Domain!"

"Governor's Office?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, why did it still involve that place?

Taking the clothes handed over by the other party, a burst of fragrance hit his nose, but Shen Yu's attention was on this cyan garment.

There was a faint smell of blood on the clothes that wouldn't dissipate, and there were many names written densely with blood on it; it should be a list. What kind of list was so important that it caused the escorts of the Changyuan Escort Agency to be almost wiped out for it?

"Girl, this..." For a time, Shen Yu was also hesitant, not knowing how to decide. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "You come with me first!"

"Many thanks, Magistrate!"

And at this moment, not far from here, two figures flashed past the roof. That movement was like a phantom, so fast that people couldn't see it clearly.

"We have been tracking all the way, and there are still many traces along the way; she should be nearby, she can't run!"

"Wait!" Suddenly, the two people stopped, quietly lying at the corner of the wall to look over here, and happened to see the girl who was about to enter the County Government Office with Shen Yu.

"That's right, it's her. Although she disguised herself, she absolutely couldn't hide it from me!"

"Big brother, look, it's that piece of clothing!" The attention of the two was immediately placed on Shen Yu's hand, seeing the thing they had been struggling for, and both of them revealed surprised expressions.

"Truly, it's 'finding it without looking for it'; big brother, the thing we have been looking for is right there!"

"Wait, that is the Baian County Magistrate, the expert known as the Peerless Duo of Zither and Sword!" Pulling his brother who was eager to move, the person beside him said, "We are not his match, let's go back first!"

Soon, the two retreated rapidly, and after a good while, they came to an old man. Although the old man was standing quietly, he was not angry but prestigious, and the killing intent that leaked out from time to time made people tremble.

"Elder, this person has already entered the County Government Office, and that thing is indeed in the hands of that Baian County Magistrate; we brothers saw it clearly!"

"Baian County Magistrate Shen Yu, he was the one who wiped out my Golden Rain Tower Tanzhou branch, right?" The old man frowned, and the killing intent on his body erupted suddenly. That rich killing intent made the surrounding temperature drop sharply, as if it were a cold wind blowing in the dead of winter. I truly don't know how many people he had killed to have it.

"That's right, it is this person! Elder, this person's martial arts are unfathomable, far from what ordinary people can match. So, regarding how to deal with him, the elders in the building had quite a big disagreement. And before, the Building Master had been in seclusion, so it had been dragged until now."

"This person wiped out a branch of my Golden Rain Tower; that bunch of cowards, with such deep hatred, what is there to argue about? If we don't kill him, where will the face of my Golden Rain Tower be!"

"This..." Hearing the old man's words, everyone was silent. Their Golden Rain Tower was just a killer organization; everyone came to do this for money.

The Golden Rain Tower Tanzhou branch's strength was absolutely not weak, and its branch building master was a Xiantian Perfection expert. This Peerless Duo of Zither and Sword could wipe it out with his own strength, so his strength could be imagined. The Building Master was in seclusion and didn't come out; who would do such a thankless job?

"Elder, should we report to the Building Master and let him send more helpers?"

"No need. How can you be scared like this by a mere Magistrate?" The old man snorted coldly and said indifferently, "My Golden Rain Tower must get this thing. Whatever Peerless Duo of Zither and Sword, tonight we will settle new and old grudges together!"

"Mo Yi, you take people to monitor that place; absolutely don't let anyone run away!"

Clenching his hands, the old man looked coldly at everyone around him and said, "Immediately gather all the manpower to prepare; we must seize it before other forces arrive. My Golden Rain Tower wants this thing!"

"Yes, Elder!"

At the same time, Shen Yu led Gu Xi into the County Government Office and found her a room to stay temporarily. For this little girl's words, Shen Yu didn't fully believe them either. These people in the *Jianghu* had many tricks; who knew whether what they said was true or false.

After settling the person, Shen Yu then retreated. However, when he was walking in the courtyard, he suddenly felt that someone was peeking here; this feeling was very weak but absolutely existed.

Since stepping into the Grandmaster realm, he was exceptionally sensitive to the strange situation around him, and any slight movement couldn't be hidden from him.

"The people chasing and killing have come so fast? Coming so fast!"

"Not good, kill!" After realizing that they had been discovered, these people immediately chose to attack. The whole process was as fast as lightning, and these people attacked without retreat, all using life-risking methods.

"Overestimating your own abilities!" Snorting coldly, Shen Yu raised his hand. Countless sword blades soared into the air, sweeping through everything like a storm. The sword rain formed by the sword blades seemed to pierce everything, instantly piercing these people through completely.

"You didn't even inquire whose territory this is before you dared to make a move?"

"Wait, this is..." Searching slightly on these people, Shen Yu saw the copper badges on these people, and his heart was shocked.

"These are the copper badge killers of the Golden Rain Tower. It turns out that the ones who have been chasing and killing that girl are them; it's truly a coincidence!"

"Wait, no, how could they come so fast?" Suddenly, as if he had figured out something, Shen Yu was shocked in his heart and hurriedly rushed toward the room where Gu Xi was. But when he arrived there, the inside was already empty.

The little girl who had been begging him for shelter just now didn't know where she had gone.

"Sure enough!" At this moment, Shen Yu understood. No wonder these people found this place so fast; this little girl was clearly trying to bring disaster to him, her heart was quite black! ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
