A few days later, inside a residential building on the outskirts of the city.

The bright sunshine filled the bed through the window, and the person on the bed squinted his eyes slightly and looked around.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, the man got up with difficulty, picked up the sword beside the bed and got down to the ground. However, he accidentally pulled the wound and grimaced in pain. The linen binding the wound on his right shoulder was immediately soaked with blood. He was originally pale.

His face was covered with sweat.

This person was Yi Tianhang. Yi Tianhang looked around the house and saw that the house was quite clean. There were a bunch of bottles and cans on the log table in the house, which should be powder used to treat wounds and stop bleeding, and there was also a bowl of soup.

, I think someone fed him when he was unconscious.

On the wooden bench beside him were his night clothes and the two bags of silver. At this time, his upper body was naked, and his wounds had been carefully bandaged, but he had torn them apart just after he got out of bed.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. It was a woman in white clothes and a plain skirt. She was holding a basin of water. Although she was dressed as a peasant, she had bright eyes and white teeth. She was so beautiful that she belonged to this family.

The hostess is also the benefactor who saved Yi Tianhang.

Yi Tianhang did not dare to look directly, so he bowed and thanked: "Thank you madam for saving me. I will never forget your life-saving grace."

"You brat, what are you jumping around for? Look, the wound has opened again. This heroine has just cleaned it up. Don't move, don't make my room full of blood!"

Hearing this, Yi Tianhang raised his head and carefully looked at the woman in front of him. She had a tall and graceful figure and a pair of sultry eyes. Isn't she the woman in black?

"Is it you?" Yi Tianhang blurted out.

"You brat, how does this heroine look like a madam? I am so young and beautiful, how can I become a madam?" The woman looked unhappy.

"Ahem, I made a mistake." Yi Tianhang was speechless for a moment after being favored by others.

The woman put down the basin of warm water, looked at Yi Tianhang in a circle, and said: "The boy is really lucky. He has lost so much blood, his wounds have become inflamed and infected, his body is hot and he is talking nonsense, and he has been in a coma for many days and he is still alive."

"Ahem, thank you Heroine for saving my life." Yi Tianhang didn't know what to say, so he had to thank him again.

"Well, of course you have to thank me. Crossbow arrows in the army are always coated with 'gold juice' and other filthy things. If I hadn't dealt with it in time, you would have contracted a nasty disease and died." The woman picked up a bag of silver on the wooden bench.

, said while weighing it.

Yi Tianhang had never received such a great favor from anyone, and now he was like a lump of wood: "If you dare to ask the heroine her name, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"You are so ignorant of etiquette. Why do you ask for the girl's name like this? Seeing that you are not old, I am too lazy to argue with you. Remember, my surname is Yu, and my name is Wenlan. I will ask you to repay my kindness in the future.

, Don’t deny it, these five hundred taels of silver should be used for the soup and medicine for the past few days." Although the woman spoke coldly to Yi Tianhang, she saved Yi Tianhang's life after all.

"Don't worry, my benefactor, I promise you, there will be a sound when it hits the ground." Yi Tianhang replied seriously.

The woman burst into laughter and said, "It made a sound when it hit the ground, gurgling. Well, you also know my name, but I only know your first name but not your surname. How can I find you if I need you in the future?"

"My surname is Yi, Yi Tianhang, and my mentor has been here in Jiawu City for the past few years."

"Well, that's a good name. I won't call you a heroine from now on. I'm so old-fashioned. From now on, you can call me Sister Lan and call yourself my younger brother. I don't know where your confused master has gone." The woman spoke while talking.

He opened the linen on Yi Tianhang's right shoulder and examined the wound.

Yi Tianhang was inexplicably nervous and didn't dare to move.

"It looks like a piece of wood. Why are you nervous? Sit down and clean the wound." The woman pointed to the table and stool and said.

"Master? Don't worry. With his skills as an old man, he might have been looking for me a long time ago. He probably saw that I was injured and someone was taking care of me, so he didn't bother to show up and went to hide himself." Yi Tianhang said casually. I turned to relieve my embarrassment, but I could smell the fragrance behind me.

The smell of this woman's body could be described as a dark fragrance filling her sleeves, as if she was an orchid. Yi Tianhang couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

"I'm worried about what that crooked old beggar is doing. But in a few days I'm going back to the Central Plains, leaving you here alone. What if you die again? Wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts these days?" Yu asked. Lan said.

"Life and death are determined by fate, and my heart is at peace, so why do you have to worry more." Yi Tianhang was already a little incoherent, and his whole body was tense.

Although this young man has experienced life and death many times and has a strong mind, he has never been in such close contact with a woman. Even when playing with Wu Ziyan, he still abides by etiquette.

"Life and death have a destiny? You still make a living by arresting bandits and hunting bandits, but you actually believe that life and death have a destiny. Are these four words worthy of the scars on your body?" Yu Wenlan laughed.

That night a few days ago, Yu Wenlan couldn't bear it, so she rescued Yi Tianhang and took off his clothes to treat his injuries. However, he was so shocked by the scars on Yi Tianhang that his face turned pale.

Yi Tianhang had learned a lot since he was twelve or thirteen years old, so he followed his master to this borderland. From then on, he started hunting and killing bandits for a living. As a young man, he would definitely suffer a loss if he fought with adult thieves. The sword wounds all over his body are marks.

"How did you know that I hunt bandits all year round?" Yi Tianhang asked.

"What are you doing? Ask Sister Lan! Sister, when I save people, I have to know who I am saving, right? You have eyes and mouths, and you will know just by asking around." Yu Wenlan applied medicine to Yi Tianhang's wounds. He replied.

Yi Tianhang endured the pain and remained silent.

"You are not very old, but your tenacity is different from ordinary people. You are not like a young man, but like a soldier who has been used to life and death. It seems that your confused master doesn't treat you well either."

Yu Wenlan looked at Yi Tianhang's body covered with scars, and knew that most of the bandits in recent years were faced by this kid alone. If the old beggar took action, why would it be like this? The hands of the old man outside the ruined temple, Definitely a master.

"Master, Master treats me well. It's always good to fight with others more." Yi Tianhang never spoke much, but now he followed the woman's words and started chatting.

"What's better? Kill people like hemp and temper your character?" Yu Wenlan said disdainfully.

"Master said that people who usually practice martial arts often fight with wooden stakes and other dead objects. Even if they fight with others, it is just a point between fellow disciples. In the end, they have learned the kung fu, but they don't know how to adapt. It is even more difficult to fight against the enemy in battle. All of them are dead moves and can be easily controlled by others. If you want to truly use the martial arts you have learned for your own use, you can only experience more life-and-death fights and turn your dead moves into your own living moves. Otherwise, you will just learn the moves. It's just a routine to keep fit." Yi Tianhang answered honestly.

"Oh, your master does have some insights." Yu Wenlan thought thoughtfully.

"The unicorn tattoo under your left shoulder is really pretty." Yu Wenlan suddenly said.

"Hmm? Hmm." Yi Tianhang looked nervous when he heard this.

"It's just that this unicorn doesn't have the charm of an auspicious beast. It looks more like a ferocious beast. It has a stern and arrogant attitude, but it looks exactly like you." Yu Wenlan looked at Yi Tianhang's back and said.

Yi Tianhang seemed to have had his secret revealed, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply.

"Aren't you curious about what's going on in the city these days?" Yu Wenlan asked while treating Yi Tianhang's wounds.

"What's wrong?" Yi Tianhang replied with a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Wenlan did not continue talking about the unicorn tattoo.

"The incident happened on the second day, and the city was devastated. Fortunately, there were troops protecting Shu stationed here, so there was no trouble. On the fourth day, people from the Southwest Administration Department arrived, and two local officials were killed. The Southern Qi court

There must be a thorough investigation, but no results have been found yet. We can only say that the thieves stole money and killed people, and because the spoils were unevenly divided, they fought in the ruined temple."

"That is not bad."

"Okay? Some people learned that both the city guard and the captain were dead, so they went straight to the administrative department to report the charges. Wu Chengshou and Zhao Duwei were involved in corruption, taking bribes, killing people, and taking property. They were found guilty of confiscating their homes and asking for execution according to the law.

There is no need to interrogate and kill him, his house will be confiscated."

"What?! Search the house?" Yi Tianhang was shocked when he heard this, but he thought of Wu Ziyan, the daughter of the city guard.

Yu Wenlan was concentrating on applying medicine to Yi Tianhang, and slapped Yi Tianhang on his left shoulder, scolding: "What are you doing, you scared me!"

The woman was so frightened that she spoke uncontrollably and called herself my mother. Then she came back to her senses, smiled, and slapped her again, until Yi Tianhang was confused.

If others saw these two people, they would think they were close siblings, but they looked like strangers they had just met.

"Ask, ask Sister Lan, is Yan'er safe?" Yi Tianhang asked worriedly.

"Hmph, have you remembered now? You are kind and righteous. The precious daughter of Wu Chengshou did not report you, but she has disappeared. Some people say that she left with the old servant in the mansion." Yu Wen

Lan replied.

"Missing? Gone?" Yi Tianhang was a little disappointed, but then he said calmly: "It's good that he's still alive."

A few days later, the wine shop was relaxing and elegant.

A man and a woman pushed open the door and entered.

The man wears ink-colored cloud-stepping boots and is dressed in a navy blue suit. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is extremely heroic, but his face is still a little childish. What is striking is that his black hair is braided into dozens of pigtails and tied in his head.

Later, his temples were shaved short again. Although he looked like a barbarian, he was extremely energetic.

The woman's hair is tied high, and she is dressed in white clothes, made of fine white floral silk and satin material, and is well cut, which quite shows the beauty of her slender figure. Her skin is like cream, her eyebrows are like phoenix eyes, and her lips are red and her teeth are white. She is so stunning and beautiful that she attracts people in the store.

All the drinkers couldn't take their eyes off him.

The waiter in the shop was stunned and recognized the person. He just called out "Brother Tianhang", but there was a touch of blood between his nose and lips, and he hurriedly ran to the back of the cabinet.

This couple is Yi Tianhang and Yu Wenlan. Yi Tianhang's injury has improved and he came here to find his master today.

The shopkeeper ran over to greet the guests personally, but saw this handsome man walking directly to the couch by the window, and sat down at the old beggar's desk.

"You brat, you finally remembered that Master is here? I thought you, a nephrite man, had forgotten about me, an old man." The old beggar didn't even raise his head, knowing who was coming.

"The old man is not serious, and he speaks without restraint." Yu Wenlan rolled her eyes at the old man.

"Oh, I had to meet a fairy-like beauty, but was beaten by evildoers. Wouldn't it make me short of breath for a while? What can I do with a few complaints?" Although the old man sighed, his face seemed to be blooming with joy.

"I don't care." Yu Wenlan was too lazy to talk to him anymore. The shopkeeper happened to bring bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses, but the woman just poured herself a glass of wine.

"Master, my disciple has been taking care of me these past few days, and I am not as miserable as you said." Yi Tianhang said.

"Huh? What happened to your hair?" The old man raised his eyes and saw Yi Tianhang's braid.

"I took care of it myself, how about it?" Yu Wenlan rolled her eyes at the old man again.

"You're energetic, quite energetic." The old man lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He glanced at the cloth bag on Yu Wenlan's waist. The iron claw was pocketed in it. The old man stopped talking.

Not long after, the old man said to Yi Tianhang: "Hang'er, you and I have been here on the border for several years, and my experience with you has ended here. Although you still have some kindness as a woman, how can a man be ruthless and unjust in this world?

Now that the desire to kill has been achieved, it’s time to continue practicing with concentration.”

"Yes, everything is subject to Master's arrangements." Yi Tianhang replied. He knew that the woman's kindness that Master mentioned meant keeping Wu Ziyan alive.

"Humph, stinky old man, don't you just want your precious apprentice to be with me? I'm not surprised that the Japanese girl will return to the Central Plains in the next few days." Yu Wenlan was so smart that she immediately understood the meaning of the old man's words.

The old man was not upset even after being stabbed. He only had a mouthful of mutton, a mouthful of garlic, and a sip of wine, which was extremely satisfying.

Yu Wenlan was about to say something more when she saw a young man in purple clothes barging in.

"Senior sister, you are really easy for me to find. Master has ordered you to come back quickly. The Kongtong sect will come to pay homage to the mountain soon!" The young man in purple ran to Yu Wenlan and said.

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan waved her hand, drank the wine in one gulp, put her red lips next to Yi Tianhang's cheek and said, "Boy, don't forget, you owe me your life, sister. If this old man dies, come on."

The Central Plains Sanjue Sect is looking for me." After saying that, he stood up and strode away.

In the past few days, Yi Tianhang had been spending time with this woman, and an inexplicable feeling had arisen between the two of them. However, the age difference was only five or six years, and Yi Tianhang was still a young man, so he didn't even think about it.

Yi Tianhang's face turned red because of the orchid aura. Seeing that the woman had arrived at the door, he stood up quickly and said, "Don't forget the grace of saving your life. It's a long journey to the Central Plains... take care of it."

When Yu Wenlan heard this, she only stopped for a moment and then left with the young man in purple.
