"This guest, my surname is Rong, you can call me Boss Wen."

Boss Wen introduced himself and smiled again.

He has a round figure and a kind face, and his smile makes him even more kind.

Then he put on a sad face again and sighed.

"You guys don't know something, but a group of bandits recently came near Caixia Town!"

"robber?"

The three of them frowned at the same time.

Boss Wen nodded fiercely and gritted his teeth: "In just one month, they have almost plundered the nearby villages, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil! The residents in the town are constantly in fear all day long, fearing that they don't know when it will be their turn. Here, as soon as it gets dark, every household turns off their lights, goes to bed early, and doesn’t dare to raise their heads when they hear any noise, so I just... oh... please forgive me."

"If banditry is so serious, why doesn't the local government care about it?"

Huayue was curious.

Boss Nawen became even more helpless after hearing this.

"It's taken care of, why didn't you take care of it?"

"But I don't know where that group of bandits got their extraordinary skills, but they managed to escape every time! They couldn't catch anyone! It is said that Mr. Rong has already reported it and is waiting for the court to send someone."

This Lord Rong is the local parent official.

"I see."

Jiang Yunluo suddenly realized.

Thinking about it, the peeping glances just now must have been the panicked people peeking to see who they were.

I was thinking about——

"By the way, the three of you just said you were going to attend a martial arts conference?"

Boss Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the three people in front of him with an expression on his face as if he had seen a savior.

Jiang Yunluo: "..."

Huayue: "..."

Mu Li: "..."

Looking at each other, the three of them had the same premonition in their hearts.

Then, Huayue took a step forward: "Boss Wen..."

The voice didn't fall--

"I wonder if the three of you can stay and help suppress the bandits?"

Boss Wen grabbed Huayue's hands, his eyes were earnest and simple and scorching.

"Although I am not a martial artist, I have long heard that all those heroes punish evil and promote good, and are willing to help others. Since the three heroes can participate in the martial arts conference, they must be masters among masters! They will definitely be able to teach those bandits a lesson. ! Save the people of Caixia Town from fire and water!"

He made a speech that would lift people to the sky, but Huayue choked back what Huayue wanted to say, "I still have important things to do."

Then he looked helplessly at Jiang Yunluo.

When you go out, you can't just tell people that you are a hero.

Jiang Yunluo raised her eyes and looked at the roof.

cough.

She just said she was going to attend a martial arts competition, but Boss Wen insisted on treating them as heroes.

Now that things have come to this, she can only find a way to make up for it.

"Boss Wen, actually the three of us... have average martial arts skills."

"The heroine is humble!"

Boss Wen waved his hand and pointed at Mu Li: "You can tell at a glance that the sword in this hero's hand is not ordinary! He must have learned a good swordsmanship!"

Mu Li: "..."

Is it too late to hide the sword now?

Helplessly sighing in his heart, he could only look at Jiang Yunluo and Huayue.

The three people exchanged quick glances.

It's not that I don't want to help.

It's just that they can't protect themselves now, and Caixia Town should receive support from the court soon.

They stay no more than one night.

After doing some shopping tomorrow morning, we should leave immediately.

No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.

Fortunately, Boss Wen is a familiar person.

Seeing the three of them standing still, he hurriedly called out: "Everyone, please stop standing! Go upstairs to rest first. You can choose any room upstairs. We will talk about the rest when you get up tomorrow!"

"It's work."

Jiang Yunluo thanked her.

He took the initiative to end the topic, which made all three people breathe a sigh of relief.

They each chose a room and went back to their rooms.

I thought about taking a rest directly, but I didn't expect that the boss Nawen was very attentive and sent hot water to the three of them in a short time.

He also asked if he should turn on the fire and make some food.

Declining her kindness, Jiang Yunluo changed out of her clothes and leaned against the tub.

The herbs that I carried with me emitted the fragrance of herbs in the water, which soothed my tired spirit a lot.

She closed her eyes and felt a little embarrassed thinking about what Boss Wen had just said.

It shouldn't be difficult for the three of them to deal with some bandits.

but……

If the noise is too loud, it will inevitably arouse the pursuit of soldiers.

But if you just leave like this.

What if the bandits happened to kill them after they left and before reinforcements arrived...

Just thinking about the possible scene, Jiang Yunluo couldn't bear it.

for a long time--

She rubbed her brows and exhaled helplessly.

It would be nice if Ling Fengshuo was here...

A name that has been on my mind these days suddenly popped into my mind.

It made her heart feel sour.

I don’t know how he is doing now...

Have you returned to the capital?

Although I knew he would be fine, the lack of news at the moment really made me feel unsure.

or……

Is he already sending people to look for him?

If there could be any mark left behind, and only the two of them could recognize it...

Her eyes flickered for a moment, and Jiang Yunluo suddenly raised her hand and took off the wooden sculpture that she had hung on the shelf when she took off her clothes.

She was afraid of losing it while carrying it in her arms, so she threaded a red string through the gap just carved at the trigger and usually tied it in her belt.

If this is the case...

The next day—

As soon as it got dark, Jiang Yunluo opened her eyes.

In the past few days, I have been traveling continuously and starting out at dawn. It has almost become a habit.

But the three of them agreed before entering yesterday that although they had to leave today, there was no need to rush early in the morning and they would wait until they had enough rest.

So she lay there for a while longer, and then Jiang Yunluo got up and tidied up.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard movement from the next door and the opposite side.

Hua Yue and Mu Li also got up.

"So early? I thought Yun'er would sleep until noon."

Huayue started teasing her as soon as she saw her.

Jiang Yunluo also smiled and retorted: "The bed is a bit hard. It seems that the well-dressed and well-fed Hua Pavilion Master can't sleep, so he got up so early?"

While the two were talking, they heard movement from downstairs.

It seemed to be the sound of tea cups clinking.

"Someone?"

Mu Li listened, alert for a moment.

Jiang Yunluo and Hua Yue also immediately became serious. After listening for a while, Hua Yue said: "Listen to the breathing... He should be an ordinary person, he seems to be older."

"Then go down and have a look."

Jiang Yunluo took the initiative to walk downstairs: "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he knows how to do it."

With that said, the person stepped onto the stairs.

Huayue and Mu Li followed her.

The further downstairs you go, the more obvious the sounds from downstairs become.

"Is this... this person in the martial arts world reliable?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

The voice sounded like that of an old man.

"Ouch! Why are you still hesitating at this time! Tell me, is there any other way now?"

This time it was Boss Wen who spoke.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise and immediately put on a smile and looked towards the stairs.

"Are the three heroes asleep? How was your rest last night?"
