The night was already dark and it was raining lightly.

Zhang Chuyao left the tavern without hesitation.

Looking at Zhang Chuyao's leaving figure, Bai Yulou smiled indifferently and just recited two lines of poetry:

"When you look back, you smile and you are full of charm. The pink and white in the Sixth Palace have no color... When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine is too little, and half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation. Interesting and interesting..."

"I don't know what sect this Zhang Chuyao came from. At this age, he is not only excellent in martial arts, he is also quite accomplished in poetry."

Bai Yulou sighed in admiration, drank the last sip of wine from the bottom of the bowl, and was about to get up and leave.

At this time, the waiter ran over from the side and said with a smile: "Sir, the drinks cost a total of five taels."

Bai Yulou looked down at the sip of wine he had just finished and fell silent.

…

…

At this time, the night had darkened. There was no moon or stars in the sky, it was pitch black, and there was no one on the street.

If the shops on the roadside hadn't lit up a few lights to add some heat to the city, this huge city would have seemed like a dead city.

People in ancient times were like this and rarely went out at night.

Zhang Chuyao held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and stepped on the bluestones on the street. Occasionally, some water would stick to his shoes, but it did not prevent him from moving forward.

"The Tianjimen incident has now become the most concerning thing for people in the old dragon city, and our world martial arts school is at the forefront of the storm."

He knew that the scene like a few days ago where a large group of Jianghu people gathered around the gate of Tianxia Martial Arts Hall to demand people would definitely happen again.

"It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow." This is actually what Zhang Chuyao is most worried about.

On the surface, these people in the Jianghu would never dare to cause trouble. After all, this is Old Dragon City and the city lord's territory. If there is trouble on the surface, City Lord Ling cannot ignore it, and the city lord represents the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

If these undisciplined people in the world make the matter so big that even the city lord cannot solve it, he can ask the imperial court for military support.

You must know that these people in the Jianghu are just idle organizations after all, and they are simply unable to confront the well-disciplined Han soldiers.

Especially the invincible iron cavalry of the big man.

If these people in the world go too far, the Han Dynasty will not mind once again uniting the three major martial arts schools to clean up the power in the world.

Because the relationship between Jianghu forces and official forces is already tense.

It’s not like the Han Dynasty has never done this kind of thing before, which is one of the reasons why the three major martial arts schools can become the three major martial arts schools of the Han Dynasty.

It's because the three major martial arts schools did put in a lot of effort when the imperial court sent troops to attack the Jianghu forces.

In a certain sense, the difference between martial arts schools and sects is that one is similar to an official organization, and the other is just a private organization.

Any martial arts school with a relatively high status and reputation must have some connection with the Han Dynasty.

This is why Lord Ling sent people to the three major martial arts schools to request support, but they did not refuse.

It's not just that the three major martial arts schools are powerful and influential, but because their martial arts schools must provide help when the government needs it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the three major martial arts schools to open so many martial arts schools throughout the dynasty without the support of the government.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Chuyao stepped into a dark alley.

The alley is not narrow, about two feet wide, and it is very dark inside. At a glance, not a single person can be seen.

Ta-ta.

Zhang Chuyao had just taken a few steps into the alley when he heard footsteps coming from a distance.

"You're not here to find me."

Zhang Chuyao thought in his mind and quickened his pace, wanting to leave this alley quickly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, several darts pierced the air and struck from behind.

Zhang Chuyao held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, took six plum steps, kicked several times on the wall next to him, dodged the darts behind him, and landed on the ground again.

He sighed silently in his heart, it seemed that these people were coming for him.

He turned around and saw a group of masked men in black.

"Who are you?"

No one spoke, and the group of men in black didn't even make eye contact. They all moved in unison, pulling out a narrow knife from their waists and holding it in their hands.

"This is a group of well-trained killers!" This thought suddenly came to Zhang Chuyao's mind.

Then they rushed towards him quickly.

Ta-ta-ta!

The masked man in black was extremely fast, and he arrived in front of Zhang Chuyao in only three to five steps.

Looking at their aura and internal energy fluctuations, it is clear that they are all in the realm of the Nine Heavens of the Day After Tomorrow!

Zhang Chuyao frowned, these people were not simple and he did not dare to be careless.

I saw him holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he quickly retreated. The rainwater slid down the umbrella and left streaks of water.

The man in black's narrow knife slashed across his face.

"Who the hell are you?"

The man in black still didn't answer, and he waved the narrow knife in his hand, one knife after another. There were eight people in total, eight knives...

They all wanted to take their own lives and showed no mercy at all.

Zhang Chuyao retreated and dodged repeatedly.

Because his footwork was so exquisite, these men in black were unable to take him down for a while.

"Faster."

At this time, someone among the black people urged him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black who had just spoken rose into the air, and instantly accelerated his speed and swung the narrow knife towards Zhang Chuyao's throat!

The group of men in black behind him also tried their best to speed up, their internal energy stirred up, and their speed instantly increased by a notch.

"It turns out they are not a bunch of mutes!"

Zhang Chuyao snorted coldly, showing no fear at all.

He stopped retreating, the oil-paper umbrella in his hand suddenly closed, and a burst of rain shook off, turning into water droplets and shooting towards the man in black.

Using an umbrella instead of a sword, he waved the oil-paper umbrella as if it were a peerless artifact. Sword energy shot out from the oil-paper umbrella, turning into plum blossoms in the air and floating towards the head of the man in black.

Poof!

The plum blossom was like a blazing spark, falling on the man in black and bursting into a bloody flower.

The man in black died instantly!

However, the death of one person did not make these people want to retreat. Instead, they caught Zhang Chuyao's pause and suddenly drew the knife.

Whoosh!

The sword flashed!

This man's mountain of swords bloomed with a stream of light!

This man actually understood the meaning of the sword!

The sword energy was flowing freely and horizontally. Although the blade did not touch Zhang Chuyao, the sword energy extending out was about to cut into his chest.

If he had eaten this knife, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had been disembowelled.

Zhang Chuyao hurriedly closed his umbrella, launched his Lifting Technique, and performed his superb Six Steps of Plum Blossom in the air. He quickly changed his body shape, came behind the people in black, and landed floatingly on the ground.

Bang.

The closed umbrella was opened intact.

Zhang Chuyao continued to move forward without even looking at the group of men in black behind him.
Chapter completed!
