I have a city that never sleeps

"Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Jianyi's posture of wanting to stab him with his sword now, Song Ke panicked, and hurriedly reminded: "No, brother Ye! Although this Lu Yuanqi is really hateful, but his father is the prefect. , killing him will offend all the officials in that county, don't be impulsive!"

Hearing this, Ye Jianyi really hesitated for a moment, not because he was afraid of being chased by the government, but because if the prefect was angered, the government's reward order would no longer be able to make money, and he would lose the basis for his survival!

But just when he decided to calm down, the system's crazy reminders put him in a dilemma:

【warn!warn!The behavior of the character does not match the personality, the fusion degree has dropped by 5%, and the current fusion degree is 45%]

Ye Jianyi: ...Damn!

He was very helpless in his heart, but he deducted so much of his hard-earned fusion degree just because he didn't want to kill people. Well, it seems that there is no need to hesitate to draw the sword in the future.

No way, Ye Jianyi could only disregard Song Ke's advice and stand up, slowly draw out the sword in his hand——

"Oh, I thought someone was talking nonsense here. It turned out to be Mr. Lu, so it's fine."

At this moment, the curtain of the private room next door was pulled open suddenly, revealing the figure of an unruly young man waving a folding fan. He raised his chin, eyes full of sarcasm, and stared at Lu Yuanqi below.

Ye Jianyi was confused about who took his role, when Song Ke explained to him in a low voice:

"This is Hua Zi'an, the son of the county magistrate of Lin'an. He was a classmate with Lu Yuanqi, but the two of them haven't gotten along well since before. It may be that Brother Ye recently helped the county magistrate solve the key criminal who was offered a reward and was rewarded by the court. He He has a good impression of you, plus he has an official position and is not afraid of Lu Yuanqi, so he speaks for you."

Ye Jianyi didn't even need to ask a word, Song Ke told all the information in one go, he was simply a perfect tool man.

Now, Ye Jianyi looked at Song Ke with admiration even more, having such a person by his side would save a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, facing Hua Zian's ridicule, Lu Yuanqi was so angry that his face was ugly, and he sneered, "You have your business everywhere, are you planning to fight against me!"

"No, no." Hua Zi'an said in a strange way, "I just heard that someone has no self-knowledge, and his swordsmanship is so bad, but he is still bragging about his complacency here. It's really ridiculous."

"Then Ye Jianyi, no matter how weak his strength is, can defeat the criminal who is offering a reward, can you?"

"What did you say?!" Lu Yuanqi slapped the table and said angrily, "I have defeated the famous Chao Tianyi, and Chao Tianyi is not worth mentioning in front of me!"

Hua Zi'an laughed: "That's because he didn't dare to kill you because of your status. Did he really think you won by strength?"

Lu Yuanqi: "You fart! That's what I won!"

The quarrel between the two not only caused all the guests on the second floor to open the gauze curtains to listen, but even some people outside the store stopped to watch. They gradually became suspicious and started discussing in whispers: "What is the strength of this Ye Jianyi? Is it possible? Is it really just a waste of fame?"

"Impossible, we know how terrifying the prisoner who offered the reward is. Doesn't his ability to defeat these people prove his strength?"

"But no one has seen him make a move. After all, he was able to kill all the important criminals in such a short period of time. This matter itself is very suspicious, okay?"

"You mean he's a fake?"

"........."

"..."

Everyone was saying what they said, talking at one go, and Song Ke was shaking when he heard it upstairs. These people dare to slander Brother Ye's strength. This is a shame and a shame. !

And it just so happened that at this time, Lu Yuanqi's words from downstairs came to his ears clearly——

"Shut up! Let me tell you, Hua Zi'an, since I can defeat Chao Tianyi, that bastard surnamed Ye is no problem. If you don't believe me, ask him to come over and compare with me to see if he can be under my hands." Survive three tricks!"

"you!!"

At this moment, the faces of Hua Zian and Song Ke changed drastically at the same time.

Hua Zian was angry, but Song Ke was shocked.

He had a hunch in his heart that when someone started insulting Brother Ye, that person was already dead.

He quickly turned his head and looked to the side, but only saw an empty seat, Song Ke was startled, and in an instant he heard an exclamation from downstairs.

Looking down, sure enough, the white-clothed figure had already landed downstairs, meeting Lu Yuanqi's eyes.

No one knew when he showed up, as if the man appeared in front of his eyes in the blink of an eye, all of his clothes were plain, but this face was unforgettable.

People looked at the young man in white curiously, guessing his identity.

Lu Yuanqi frowned, he could feel the hostile aura on the other side: "Who are you?"

Ye Jianyi held the sword coldly: "The person who came to kill you!"

"You dare?!" Lu Yuanqi was furious, furious, "Do you know who I am? Even if I lend you ten guts, you wouldn't dare to kill me!"

During the conversation between the two, Hua Zian walked quickly to Song Ke's side, first saluted the young master of the Song family, and then said curiously: "Brother Song, so you are here, and the person downstairs is you The guest around me, who is he? Is he a distinguished person?"

In his opinion, the background of the person who dared to kill Lu Yuanqi must be monstrous, coupled with his arrogance and courage, he really wanted to make friends with him.

However, Song Ke shook his head and said, very heartbroken: "No, this person has no background, just an ordinary Jianghu swordsman."

Hua Zi'an was startled: "Brother Song is so confused, to provoke that Lu Yuanqi alone, isn't this, isn't this equivalent to courting death! Maybe Lu Yuanqi's mediocre martial arts is no big deal, but none of the five subordinates around him Without careful selection, the strength is extraordinary!"

He also likes to make friends with brave men on weekdays, which is why he is willing to stand up for Ye Jianyi, whom he has never seen before. Seeing that a hero is about to die because of Lu Yuanqi, he immediately wants to jump down to save others.

But Song Ke stretched out his arm and stopped him.

Hua Zian was puzzled: "Brother Song?"

Song Ke said: "Zian don't need to worry, although this person is just a commoner, but his swordsmanship is extremely superb, just a few people, nothing to worry about."

Hua Zian glanced at the confrontation downstairs, and couldn't feel at ease, but since Song Ke said so, he suppressed his anxiety and persuaded again: "Even if there is no danger, if you really want to kill Lu Yuanqi, you will be punished by the government." The pursuit! Brother Song, have you considered the consequences?"

Song Ke sighed: "It's really tricky... so I can only ask my Song family to fully support him and keep him safe for the rest of his life."

Hua Zian was shocked, who is this person, so that the famous Song family can escort him. You must know that most of the Song family are arrogant, and no one has ever been treated like this before.

"kill him!"

At this time, the situation on the first floor suddenly became complicated. The enraged Lu Yuanqi ordered five subordinates to surround the young man in white and strangle him.

As soon as the five stout men picked up the knife, a terrifying aura gushed out. Everyone exclaimed, and Hua Zian looked at the young man in white with the same worry.

However, the expression of the young man in white was not moved at all. He looked at the galloping blade indifferently, and didn't even put on an attacking posture, but just raised the silver sword and swung it diagonally.

In an instant, the sky full of rainbow light poured down.

The five big men screamed at the same time and fell to the ground.

……

Quiet, spreading in the tavern.

"……what happened?"

People with low martial arts look confused, and feel as if they have lost their memory. Otherwise, why didn't they see the fighting process, and they would have already fallen down?

On the contrary, Hua Zi'an's eyes were indescribably amazed, "Sword Qi?!"

According to the legend, only those with superb martial arts can possess sword energy. If he read correctly, what the young man used just now is sword energy, hurting people invisible!

Even Song Ke was faintly surprised. He was sure that Ye Jianyi would win, but he didn't expect Ye Jianyi to win so easily!

But looking at the astonished eyes of everyone around him, he was very proud. The resentment accumulated in his chest just now disappeared, and he was so happy that he instinctively wanted to laugh three times, but before he could open his mouth, the wailing sound from below But it made his face change suddenly.

Why are these people still alive? Could it be that Brother Ye missed it? !

He quickly observed the five big men, and found that there were no injuries on their necks, but there were extremely deep sword marks on the meridians of their wrists, and they couldn't even hold the knives. , hardly daring to look directly at Ye Jianyi.

Ye Jianyi said coldly: "If you don't use a sword, I'll just break your meridians and disable your martial arts. Get lost."

Only then did Song Ke heave a sigh of relief, that's right, how could Brother Ye miss it, it's impossible!

Seeing this scene, Hua Zian finally couldn't sit still: "Brother Song! Tell me who he is? It's so terrifying!"

"--who are you?!"

On the first floor, Lu Yuanqi couldn't help asking sharply, but his voice trembled a little more.

Anyone who sees the masters of their team wiped out in an instant will feel extremely panicked.

The young man standing in front of him finally answered him directly this time: "Ye Jianyi!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and their eyes were horrified.

"Is he Ye Jianyi?"

"That Ye Jianyi we discussed just now? Is he in the restaurant?"

"He is really strong!"

Hua Zian was also dumbfounded, and turned to look at Song Ke.

Song Ke showed a mysterious smile, looking rather smug.

Hua Zi'an finally understood Song Ke's preferential treatment for young people. If it were him, he would be willing to do so in exchange for the help of a peerless expert, but he was a little puzzled: "It's such a blessing, why is Brother Song so sad."

Song Ke said sadly: "You don't understand, I feel sorry for my little money!"

If Ye Jianyi is really invited to officially live in the Song family, with Ye Jianyi's money-loving personality, how many years can their family's savings last?

Pain!

Hua Zian didn't understand what was on his mind at all, and quickly focused on Ye Jianyi, wanting to witness with his own eyes how Ye Jianyi would treat that scum surnamed Lu!

Ye Jianyi stared at Lu Yuanqi with frosty eyes, and said, "I heard you want to compete with me? Here I come."

Seeing him take a step forward, Lu Yuanqi finally showed a trace of fear on his face, and shouted loudly: "I am the son of the prefect, you dare to kill me?"

Ye Jianyi frowned: "I don't care who you are, where is your sword? Pick it up!"

Lu Yuanqi noticed that Ye Jianyi looked at him without fear or hesitation, as the other party said, he didn't care about his identity at all, but the more Ye Jianyi was like this, the more panicked he became, because his identity It is the full guarantee of his arrogance!

"you you you……"

He faltered and couldn't speak, Ye Jianyi looked at it for a while, then suddenly turned to the side and asked, "What did he just say?"

The passer-by who was asked by him was startled and didn't react immediately, but Hua Zi'an shouted down cleverly: "He said that you can't even pass three moves in his hands!"

Lu Yuanqi was furious, but Ye Jianyi nodded: "Well, if you can survive my three moves, I will lose."

Everyone was stunned, but Lu Yuanqi's eyes lit up suddenly, feeling as if he had found a way out: "Really?"

Ye Jianyi continued: "Not only that."

He walked out of the restaurant.

At this time, the crowd of onlookers almost reached the point of a sea of ​​people. Seeing him appear, they all subconsciously made way to the side.

And watched Ye Jianyi walk to a tree and cut off a delicate branch.

Ye Jianyi pinned the sword back to his waist, picked up the branch and pointed it at Lu Yuanqi:

"I only use this branch to compete with you, within three moves, life and death will pay off!"
