I have a city that never sleeps

Jiang Yue stared at the ignorant young man in front of him.

He was only in his 20s, dressed plainly, and only held an iron sword that could be seen everywhere in his hand, but his aura was very imposing and his expression was very cold, as if he was determined to kill himself.

Jiang Yue: "Have you and I ever had a grudge?"

Ye Jianyi: "No."

Jiang Yue: "Then why did you kill me?"

Ye Jianyi took out the arrest warrant with his portrait: "You are worth 5000 taels of silver."

Jiang Yue's eyes changed slightly: "Do you know why I was wanted by the government?"

Ye Jianyi: "I don't know."

Jiang Yue sneered: "Because I hate the arrogance of those rich people the most, I killed them and took their money to myself. This is called stealing from the rich and helping the poor, understand!"

Ye Jianyi didn't seem to hear it, and then seemed to hear it: "Oh, it's none of my business."

Jiang Yue was silent for a while, and then said: "Do you know who I have killed so far?"

Ye Jianyi: "I don't know."

Jiang Yue: "There is Zhao Qi, the second-generation Tianjiao of the Songshan School, He Wenxing, a disciple of the He family in Jiangdu, and even the head disciple of the Jinyumen sect under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the capital!"

Ye Jianyi: "Oh, none of my business."

Jiang Yue sneered: "I tell you this to tell you that my strength is extraordinary, and I do everything for justice! You and I have no enmity or grudge, so don't rush to find death."

Ye Jianyi repeated: "You are worth 5000 taels of silver."

Jiang Yue couldn't find a trace of wavering on his face, so he knew that those words just now were like farting, he drew out his sword indifferently: "Since you take the initiative to seek death, I will not stop you, don't worry, I will return today next year Here, honor your courage."

He was ready to fight, but the expressionless young man in front of him suddenly smiled at this moment, as if thinking of something happy.

Jiang Yue was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

Ye Jianyi smiled: "I'm kidding you're dead."

Jiang Yue was startled: "What?!"

The moment he was dazed, he felt a stabbing pain in his neck, and when he looked up, Ye Jianyi didn't move a single step, but the silvery sword tip was stained with scarlet.

Jiang Yue touched the stinging area in confusion, only to feel a patch of damp heat. Looking down, his palm was already covered with dazzling red.

As if thinking of something, Jiang Yue's bewildered expression dissipated in an instant, and gradually showed shock and fear.

He suddenly raised his head in disbelief, staring at Ye Jianyi's face, his trembling lips only had time to utter a word: "You..."

In the next moment, he fell backwards.

Until he lay on the ground, he never closed his eyes.

Until his death, he couldn't understand when and how Ye Jianyi made the move.

But all of this was seen by Song Ke who was watching silently in the dark. Song Ke's eyes were filled with amazement. He also never thought that there is such an amazing sword technique in this world. A quick sword, as strong as Jiang Yue didn't even notice it, so easily ruined his life.

The only thing in martial arts in the world is speed, Song Ke finally understood the meaning of this sentence today!

In vain, as a descendant of a family of swordsmanship, he has never comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship.

Immediately, he felt deep admiration for the swordsman, and even admired this young man who was younger than him.

I can't wait to get to know each other.

But without his warning, Ye Jianyi's eyes naturally fell on him, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to fight swords or live?"

In his mouth, fighting swords is equal to death.

Song Ke didn't doubt the authenticity of his words, and hurriedly approached him to pay respects: "I'm Song Ke, I've met brother. Please don't be angry, brother. I just heard that there is a new talented swordsman in the rivers and lakes recently, and I'm curious. I just came here to check it out, but I didn’t expect to witness such a wonderful sword technique!"

Having said that, Song Ke's face was gradually stained with excitement.

Seeing that he was not hostile, Ye Jianyi didn't pay much attention to him.

What's more, besides making money, Ye Jianyi's most important task after accepting the reward order is to become famous in the world, and then wait for the right time to introduce the city that never sleeps.In the past few days, there were no crowds watching the killing of the rebels. Now that he finally has a chance to become famous, he feels very comfortable.

But the personality of the person is here, he still keeps a straight face, staring at Song Ke indifferently, as if he doesn't care about this person at all.

Fortunately, Song Ke also didn't think there was a problem with this, but any capable person must be a little arrogant, and he himself was the same.

He was still talking about his feelings about Ye Jianyi's sword, his face still full of excitement, and he couldn't stop, "... I am ashamed to say, I have been learning swordsmanship for nearly 25 years, but I have never seen a sword like my brother's sword. Such a terrifying sword technique! The excitement in my heart is beyond words... dare to ask what is the name of this sword technique, it is so powerful!"

This must be some kind of peerless swordsmanship that has been lost, or a swordsmanship that is listed as taboo in legends!

He is curious!

In his expectant sight, Ye Jianyi was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "This sword...is called Ping A."

"...Ping, what?" Song Ke was a little confused.

Ye Jianyi said calmly: "It's my own sword technique, I don't know if it's normal."

"Self-created?!" At this moment, Song Ke's eyes suddenly became sharp. Only the legendary sword master has the ability to create peerless swordsmanship. Could it be that Ye Jianyi has reached the realm of sword master at a young age? Yet?

No, impossible!

If so, Ye Jianyi would no longer be a genius.

A genius comes out once in a hundred years, but a ghost is hard to find in ten thousand years!Is Ye Jianyi the ghost that has been hard to find for thousands of years?No.1 in swordsmanship?

Certainly not possible at this age!

It should be obtained by accident, or taught by an expert.

Quickly discarding this idea, Song Ke couldn't help inviting: "Seeing this sword technique today, I will have no regrets in this life! I admire Xiongtai's swordsmanship very much. I wonder if I can invite Xiongtai to the restaurant for a talk?"

Ye Jianyi sized him up for a moment, and only asked, "Are you rich?"

Song Ke was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again: "Very rich."

Ye Jianyi nodded: "That's good."

Unexpectedly, Ye Jianyi agreed so quickly, Song Ke was overjoyed, he felt that his personality was full of charm, otherwise how could he attract such a talented person!

"Wait a minute." But Ye Jianyi only put down these words, got up and came to the fallen Jiang Yue, fumbled from head to toe, took off all the wound medicine, silver and weapons, and put them all in his sleeves , just like a thief crossing the border, not a single blade of grass grows, and then facing Song Ke's surprised gaze, he skillfully cut off Jiang Yue's head and stood up.

This is not over yet, after exchanging the bounty from the government, Song Ke watched helplessly as he walked into a pawnshop again, took out countless kinds of weapon pills of unknown origin from his sleeve, bargained with the boss for a full quarter of an hour, and was finally satisfied Take the money and leave.

"..." Song Ke seemed to think he understood something, "Brother, are you short of money?"

Ye Jianyi took a deep look at him: "Very short."

Song Ke tentatively said: "My Lin'an Song family is also a well-known swordsmanship family in Jianghu, and the family background is quite rich. If my brother is willing to sit in the Song family, I am willing to pay 1000 taels of silver."

Ye Jianyi's eyes lit up: "Very good."

Song Ke gradually became bolder: "If Xiongtai is still willing to discuss swords with our court, I am willing to pay another 1000 taels of silver!"

Ye Jianyi: "Very good."

Song Ke felt that he had realized: "I am willing to pay another 1000 taels of silver, can I make friends with Xiongtai!"

Ye Jianyi shook his head at this moment.

Song Ke's inflated courage burst out, and he was immediately disappointed.

But then he felt a little annoyed, he was wrong, Ye Jianyi was such a proud person, how could he insult him with a mere few coppers!He is looking down on people!

While regretting, a cold voice suddenly came from one side.

"A thousand taels is not enough."

Song Ke was stunned.

I saw Ye Jianyi seriously explaining: "If you want to be my friend, you need at least ten thousand taels!"

Song Ke: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched reflexively, but after realizing it, he was ecstatic.

"Okay, okay, your friend, Song is sure!" Song Ke laughed loudly. Although he lost ten thousand taels of silver, he couldn't stop the joy in his heart.

Ye Jianyi happily saluted: "Brother Song."

Song Ke's mouth was about to grin to the sky: "Brother Ye!"

That's right, that's right, he was thinking wrong, how could it be worth only a thousand taels of silver to make friends with such an arrogant person like Brother Ye, ten thousand taels is right!

The two were chatting and laughing (mainly Song Ke was joking alone) all the way to the most famous restaurant in the area, and the identity of the young master of the Song family was really very useful at this time, not only the shopkeeper personally greeted and sent to the restaurant with a good view on the second floor. location, and ordered a table of good food and wine to be served at the highest speed.

Song Ke stood up first and toasted Ye Jianyi. Although Ye Jianyi didn't like to drink, for the sake of the benefactor, he simply took a sip.

The wine contained in his mouth is neither rich nor mellow, and it is far from the wine in the city that never sleeps. Ye Jianyi frowned slightly, and immediately had a feeling that he wanted to lure the rich man to the city that never sleeps to increase the world, and it is best to consume it personally. The impulse of 10,000+ taels of silver.

But before he could find the starting point of the topic, he suddenly heard some commotion downstairs.

His hearing is much better than Song Ke's. Song Ke didn't realize anything until he found that he was staring downstairs.

I saw a few ferocious men surrounding a well-clothed young man in the middle, driving away the diners on the first floor.

"The idlers wait to retreat quickly! Are you blind? Didn't you see Mr. Lu coming?"

After driving out all the terrified guests on the first floor, the men obsequiously invited Mr. Lu in the middle to his seat, and shouted loudly at the waiter to serve him.

Song Ke explained in a low voice: "This is Governor Lu's son, Lu Yuanqi. There is a famous dandy here. Because of the prestige of the prefect, no one dares to provoke him even if he does all kinds of crimes, including eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."

"But brother Ye, don't worry, those who can go up to the second floor are famous people in the world, forgive him and don't dare to provoke him, you and I can just sit in peace."

Ye Jianyi nodded, just now he didn't care about this kind of dude anymore, but he heard this person talk about the famous extermination case in Jianghu, and opened his mouth to curse:

"Haven't you found that jade pendant from Zhang's family? There are so many of you who can't even find a 14-year-old child, you idiots! What a bunch of idiots!"

The subordinates who were scolded all over their faces were not angry, and smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, the whole martial arts are searching for the only surviving young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Ling, after the Zhang family was destroyed, and the purpose is also for the legendary my jade pendant, but no one found it, this... this subordinate really doesn't know where this kid can go!"

But Lu Yuanqi couldn't listen: "Young master, I don't care whether you kill people or set fire to them! In short, you must find me the jade pendant that can cultivate immortals! Otherwise, I will let my father beat you to death, understand!"

The subordinates nodded again and again: "Yes..."

Hearing the words Xiuxian's jade pendant, Ye Jianyi's eyes froze, showing some thoughtfulness.

After threatening his subordinates, Lu Yuanqi took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and asked casually, "What's new in Jianghu recently, tell me about it."

This is undoubtedly another test. If you are not careful, you will easily make the young master angry. The subordinates scratched their heads and thought desperately. One of them finally thought of something, and his eyes lit up:

"I heard that there is a talented swordsman named Ye Jianyi in Lin'an City! He completed all the government's reward orders in just a few days. It is said that this person is unparalleled in swordsmanship, even Jiang Yue, who can kill the disciple of the Jinyumen Successfully hunted!"

Ye Jianyi was still thinking about the jade pendant, but at this moment he accidentally ate the melon on his body, and suddenly felt quite speechless.

But when he raised his head, Song Ke smiled and winked at him, as if he was the one they were talking about, so happy.

He raised his chin proudly, waiting for the people below to continue bragging, but Lu Yuanqi sneered contemptuously:

"What kind of peerless swordsman, what is that leaf, can you have the sword skills of my son?"

"It's nothing more than killing a few thieves and then being complacent. Heh, I bet that this person must have gained a false reputation, and he really doesn't know anything about swordsmanship!"

……

A ball of anger suddenly appeared in his chest, Song Ke's face turned livid immediately, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Brother Ye! Can you bear this?!"

He yelled directly at Ye Jianyi, but he never expected to meet a pair of extremely cold eyes.

The biting frost and snow of the twelfth lunar month can't compare with the coldness in these eyes.

Ye Jianyi just stared at Lu Yuanqi downstairs in silence, killing intent gradually formed around him.

Song Ke, who was closest to him, could feel the horror and murderous aura.

"..."

Song Ke shivered suddenly, couldn't help but silently grabbed the soft cushion under his buttocks and hugged it to his chest, and began to shiver.

Brother Ye, hold back, hold back! !
