Young man, please stay

Chapter 13 “Thank you” and “You’re welcome”

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

On the official road outside Jianping County.

Several torches were scattered on the ground. Under the dim light of the fire, many corpses could be seen scattered on the ground.

……

After finding out Qin Lang's name, the seventh brother of the Blood Knife Sect naturally didn't take Qin Lang's words to heart.

After all, as a member of the Blood Knife Sect, Seventh Brother naturally knows what kind of reputation the Blood Knife Sect has gained over the years.

It can be said that the Xuedaomen and Xue Gui have been able to survive for so long because of their cunning behavior and a little help from some noble people.

To put it bluntly, even Brother Qi knew that it was only a matter of time before Xue Gui died.

And Qin Lang's appearance was only a matter of time.

……

Tonight's matter has come to this, and there is no point in talking more. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Seventh Brother took a deep breath, gathered his energy, held the blood knife tightly in both hands, and struck Qin Lang with a lunge.

boom!
  The blood-colored single-ringed sword struck the sandy ground, and the splashed dust filled the sky for a long time before it was suddenly broken by another sword light.

Looking up, he saw Qin Lang leaping into the air, turning around in the air, and slashing his head with his right arm. The seventh brother quickly raised his sword to shoulder it.

Clang—!
  The same sword is wielded dually by the Seventh Brother of the Blood Knife Sect, using a set of great sword skills.

But Qin Lang still used one hand and used a single sword technique.

Although the ring knife was thick, it felt like a steel whip in Qin Lang's hands. After Seventh Brother parried, he turned around a few times, just like he had just killed the other disciples, and wrapped his head around the top of his head, like a spinning top, with a strong wind. Yudi slashed at Qi Ge several times.

In the fleeting light, there is the power of thunder!

As the most capable person in the Blood Knife Sect, Seventh Brother was not slow to respond. He immediately raised the knife and struck back, then swung and slashed.

clang!clang!clang!
  Under the night, with sparks flying everywhere, Seventh Brother forcefully parried Qin Lang's fierce attacks, and when the last sword was struck, he lifted Qin Lang's blade away with all his strength.

Dingqiang——

Taking advantage of the opportunity in front of Qin Lang, Seventh Brother stepped forward and slashed across his body.

"Kid take his life!"

The sword wind cut towards the abdomen with a lot of force. Qin Lang had no choice but to lean back, almost bending at a right angle. After dodging the sword, he stood up, only to see that the other party had slashed Huashan with another force and had gone straight to the door. Come.

……

For dual-wielding broadsword techniques, splitting Huashan is undoubtedly the most brutal and effective attack move.

The more Seventh Brother can use this trick repeatedly, the more it shows that his physical foundation is really solid.

……

Zheng-!
  The iron blade buzzed, and while Qin Lang raised the sword to protect his heart, he turned sideways, deflected the blade again, and used the spatula to remove the force of Seventh Brother's heavy blow.

However, at this moment, Qin Lang also found that his blade was full of gaps, and it was likely to break at any time under the heavy attacks of the Seventh Brother.

So Qin Lang didn't hesitate much. After turning the spatula sideways, with quick eyes and quick hands, he directly stretched out the middle finger of his left hand and grabbed the ring on the back of Seventh Brother's knife.

"what?!"

This time, Brother Qi definitely didn’t expect it.

Immediately afterwards, he was also shocked and instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

But it was too late. While Qin Lang held the opponent's knife ring tightly with his left hand, the blade of his own knife in his right hand was close to the opponent's blade, pushing straight towards Qi Ge's hands holding the knife handle.

Zheng-!
  There was another harsh sound of metal and stone interlacing. At this time, the seventh brother had to drop the knife handle in order to protect his hands. In this way, the fact that he was most worried about being disarmed by Qin Lang had also happened.

boom…

Qin Lang clasped the sword ring with his left hand and stabbed Seventh Brother's sword to the ground. He should have directly swung the sword with his right hand to end the battle.

Unexpectedly, the seventh brother was also very courageous. In his desire to survive, the moment he took off his weapon, he felt fierce in his heart. He raised his hand and slapped Qin Lang's sword directly.

Snapped!
  Not to mention, Qin Lang didn't have time to turn the blade this time. A strong force hit the side of the blade, and Qin Lang himself lost the weapon instantly.

For a moment, it looked like the two of them were about to turn from a hand-to-hand fight to a fist fight, but little did the seventh brother know that Qin Lang had no intention of wasting time and continuing to fight.

He arched the back of his right hand, pinched it with his five fingers, picked up the crane's mouth with his hand, and used the arched finger base to directly hit Brother Qi's wrist. Then, taking advantage of the pain, he quickly followed up with a push and a slap on the wrist. arm…

Snapped! Snapped! …

Just like that, in the next blink of an eye, Qin Lang's hand shape kept changing, extremely unpredictable!
  Brother Qi watched helplessly as his arm was being hit on various vital points, but he couldn't figure out Qin Lang's attack method at all. He wanted to raise his other hand to block, but in the end, he only increased the number of injured parts.

Click!

Finally, with several crisp sounds in succession, Qin Lang's hand tendons and joints were broken by Qin Lang with one hand in just a few breaths, completely losing any ability to resist.

……

If Xue Gui or Miss Jin saw all this, they would feel very familiar.

Because when he was in prison, Xue Gui's hands and feet were broken by Qin Lang's tactics.

When Gu Jin met Qin Lang, the last wave of dagger stabs was blocked by Qin Lang using the same technique.

But now facing the seventh brother, Qin Lang was obviously full of ruthless strength.

……

"Ugh—!"

The huge pain made the big man with a fierce look break out in cold sweat, so that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground without any strength.

Compared to the pain, Brother Seven may be more shocked at this time.

"Dragon Elephant...Cloud Mover?!"

As one of the few people in the Blood Knife Sect, other than the sect master and elders, who had experienced a lot of life in his early years, when Seventh Brother looked at Qin Lang again, his wide eyes were full of disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.

"Dragon Elephant Cloud Mover! Who are you?!"

"What's the meaning…"

"The former leader of the six sects... Longding Villa... was eradicated by the imperial court decades ago! How do you know their lost unique skills!?"

"Special skill...?"

Qin Lang frowned slightly when he heard these two, but felt doubtful in his heart.

Is this considered a unique skill?
  "I'm sorry, this is just a little life tip my senior sister taught me. It's not a cloud mover. You must admit your mistake."

"伱!..."

Facing Qin Langyun's calm answer, Seventh Brother felt as if his throat was being choked. He refused to say the last curse before his death. Immediately, Qin Lang picked up the knife on the ground and pierced his heart.

"It's broken, it's a bit timed out..."

The entanglement with Seventh Brother exceeded Qin Lang's expectations. He looked to the left side of the hillside shrouded in darkness. He must not let go of the last remnants of the Blood Knife Sect whose legs he had injured.

So, after killing the seventh brother, Qin Lang picked up a torch on the ground and chased after him without waiting for a rest.

……

Originally, there was an elder in the Blood Knife Sect who was not around, but no more fish could slip through the net. Every time there was one more fish, Qin Lang would have one more thief to worry about, and there would be one more element of uncertainty about his personal safety.

Senior sister has always taught him to act cautiously, Qin Lang cannot allow such hidden dangers.

However, according to his rough calculation, even if his legs were injured, there was a high probability that the remaining villains would still be able to escape.

This actually made Qin Lang a little depressed.

……

However, what Qin Lang didn't expect was that after he went up the hillside and into the forest, following the blood trail for a short time, he actually saw the four Blood Knife Sect disciples who had escaped.

Moreover, all four of them were lying on the ground. Qin Lang reached out and found that they were not breathing.

"real or fake…"

Qin Lang was a little confused. He was going to die now?

The knife he threw out at that time obviously only scratched their legs. Could it be that it also scratched the aorta? Qin Lang felt that the matter was not that simple, so he checked the corpses of a few more people, and sure enough, he found a thread-like wound on the necks of all four people.

Without moving, Qin Lang fiddled with it a little, and wisps of blood suddenly emerged from the thin, seemingly invisible wound.

Obviously, someone else helped Qin Lang kill them.

"..."

Qin Lang looked at the corpse on the ground. After a long time, he shook his head in confusion, then returned to the official road, walked a few hundred meters, and brought back the purple horse that had been hiding far away. He turned over, raised the torch, and Embark on the journey back to Qingniugang.

--------

"Drive!...Xu..."

The moon was sparse, Qin Lang returned to Qingniugang, tied up the purple horse, and took another look at the white mare used by Su Yinping.

"..."

"?"

The little mare had just finished eating a mouthful of grass seedlings and felt something was wrong with the handsome male human's gaze in front of her. She raised her white neck, blinked her long eyelashes, and rubbed her head against Qin Lang's arm in confusion.

But Qin Lang was still staring at the silver brocade saddle on the horse, thoughtfully.

This little white horse…

Even if I haven't slept at this time, I'm still eating grass...

Qin Lang raised his hand and touched the saddle hesitantly.

Ok…

No heat…

But it doesn't mean anything. The night wind is too cold. If someone rides on it, the temperature will cool down quickly.

However, because of the fabric on the saddle, the smell is not easily dissipated.

So, in order to confirm a certain guess in his mind, Qin Lang looked around, then looked at the saddle, pointed his nose towards the curvy horse's back, and the equally curvy saddle that aroused reverie, and slowly moved closer...

"What are you doing…"

"?!"

With the strong sense of déjà vu, Qin Lang shuddered and turned stiffly to look at the girl in black who appeared at the door:
  "Uh... I just want to see if this horse is really as good as the legend says..."

"..."

Gu Jin stared at Qin Lang coldly. Qin Lang didn't know whether she believed it or not, but he quickly changed the topic:

"What about that? I've already taken care of the people from the Blood Knife Sect. Except for one elder who was away from home, the remaining dozen or so people are all dead."

"Oh."

Gu Jin's reaction was neither mild nor mild.

……

There are three sects, six sects and twelve sects, although speaking of it, the Blood Knife Sect is one of the twelve sects.

But first of all, compared with the three sects and six sects, the twelve sects of Jianghu are more frequent.

Secondly, even if the Blood Knife Sect is not destroyed and has been hiding in the world for so long, it will be a matter of time before it is kicked out of the twelve sects.

……

In general, from the perspective of Gu Jin, a personal guard of the princess and an attendant of the emperor's sister, the removal of one of the twelve sects of Jianghu is indeed not a big deal.

"..."

In contrast, Gu Jin seemed to have something more concerned about. After silently looking at the blood stains on Qin Lang's clothes, her eyes pretended to be casual and glanced at the moonlight outside.

"Are you hurt?"

She suddenly spoke softly, her tone so calm that she couldn't tell whether it was a question or a statement.

"No."

"..."

"Well...Actually, a strange thing happened at that time. There were four people from the Blood Knife Sect. I thought they had escaped, but I found their bodies on the hillside. The scars on their necks looked like they were injured by a master with a sharp weapon... I wonder, Miss Sumire, do you have any idea about this?"

"No."

Gu Jin blurted out and turned around to enter the house.

"Hey, wait a minute, I promised you that I would teach you martial arts when I come back, don't you want to learn any more?"

"..."

Gu Jin's eyes brightened slightly, but then, out of the corner of her eye, she quietly glanced at her shoulder, which should have recovered a lot. After a pause, she still only uttered two words:

"another day."

After saying that, the slender figure flashed into the room.

Qin Lang stood outside, looking at the door where she disappeared. After a moment, he burst into laughter.

Regarding the four corpses, although a certain girl did not admit it, she did not know that when she lied, the two dyed pink ears in her hair had already betrayed her.

---------

Back in the house, Su Yinping was fast asleep, and Qin Lang still walked towards the straw mat at the end of the bed.

Gu Jin did not sleep on the bed with the princess like she did two days ago. Instead, like Qin Lang, she spread a simple straw mat next to the earthen stove.

Although the small bed was indeed quite crowded, the reason why Gu Jin refused to sleep on the bed was just out of the habit of being a personal guard.

Qin Lang didn't mind his own business and fell down on his straw mat. As a result, he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Maybe it was the first time I had killed so many people, and my heart was a little surging.

I had no choice but to get up and walk around outside the house again.

When he came back, Qin Lang took one more look in front of the earthen stove, and then covered Gu Jin with his own thin quilt.

"Thanks…"

He said something casually in a soft voice, and after struggling for a long time, he finally succeeded in feeling sleepy.

……

However, Qin Lang didn't know that probably when he was falling asleep on his front legs, a certain girl on the back legs slowly opened her eyes again.

The two of them are not trying to be night owls.

After all, the girl's insomnia was completely different from Qin Lang's insomnia.

"..."

Looking at the quilt on her body, there seemed to be a touch of moonlight passing through the girl's clear eyes.

She raised her hand and subconsciously wanted to touch the quilt, but then she couldn't help but let out a low "hiss...".

He carefully opened his collar and took a look. As expected, the wounds that were originally in the recovery period had been reopened due to his unauthorized and sneaky actions tonight...

but it does not matter.

He is Madame's savior.

She is the lady's personal guard.

She went to ensure his safety and help him solve the four fish that slipped through the net. Whether it was out of loyalty to his wife or out of moral justice, it was a very reasonable thing...

and so…

"you are welcome…"

After muttering quietly, the girl closed her eyes again and continued to endure the pain in her shoulders from time to time.

But this time, she clenched the thin quilt on her body with her green-white fingers, and finally fell asleep quietly...

　Let’s get the character cards first, it will happen sooner or later anyway.
