Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

For the entire afternoon, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, who had just earned a large sum of money, spent some time eating, drinking and having fun.

During this time, when Liu Mengying was eating and drinking, she would always share some with An Erni. An Erni felt embarrassed and was even more afraid that Liu Mengying would ask her for money, but Liu Mengying insisted, and in the end she kept thanking her and accepted it…

.........

at dusk,

"So, this King Yuan Zheng is really a legendary figure!"

After listening to An Erni's explanation, Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Yes!"

An Erni nodded. "Prince Yuanzheng and Marquis Zhenbei are known as the two arms of the Mingyuan Empire, one in the south and one in the north. One is called Ming Dianying and the other is called Liu Ran. They are known as 'Nanming Beiliu'..."

"In terms of major military achievements, King Yuanzheng is much better than Marquis Zhenbei. The bandits in the south of Mingyuan Empire, the stubborn enemies who have been entrenched in the land of Baiyue for hundreds of years, and the treacherous soldiers in the Monster Forest were all wiped out by King Yuanzheng's troops... and Marquis Zhenbei only fought one... extremely tragic battle at Yanyun River, which was called a nightmare meat grinder. After that, there has been no large-scale war in the north of Mingyuan Empire..."

"There is a rumor that Prince Yuanzheng fought with Marquis Zhenbei, and it seems that Marquis Zhenbei was injured... People generally believe that Prince Yuanzheng is stronger than Marquis Zhenbei. This is also the reason why Qinhuai City, as the richest city with the most pleasant climate in the entire Mingyuan Empire, eventually became the fief of Prince Yuanzheng. However, people in the north don't seem to agree with this statement..."

Seeing that Ye Fan was quite interested in Prince Yuanzheng, An Erni explained a few more words.

"That's it!"

Listening to An Erni's words, Ye Fan couldn't help but recall Liu Ran's special reminder. It can be seen that Liu Ran attaches great importance to King Yuan Zheng, and even fears him...

"Hey~ Sister Xiaoni, what's going on over there?"

Liu Mengying, who was drinking watermelon juice, noticed a lot of people gathered not far ahead and couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.

"Then the weaponsmith apprentice is recruiting!"

An Erni looked in the direction Liu Mengying pointed and spoke immediately.

"Weaponsmith? The weaponsmith who made the Xuanzhen Cuffs?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately became interested.

"Well... there is a saying that the Zhenxuan Cuffs were made by a craftsman from Qinhuai City..."

An Erni spread her hands slightly, "But that seems to be just a rumor. Qinhuai City is indeed known as the city of weaponsmiths... but weaponsmiths all make Naxuan rings... Even the top weaponsmiths make Naxuan rings. I have never heard of anyone making Zhenxuan cuffs..."

"Xiao Douya, you and Xiaoni continue to walk around. I'm going to go see what the weaponsmith apprentice is like!"

"it is good!"

..........

Soon, Ye Fan squeezed into the dark crowd. He glanced at the notice posted on the wall and immediately realized that it was the Weapon Foundry Hall that was recruiting apprentices for weapon foundry.

"This seems like a good opportunity to study the making of the Naxuan Ring!"

Ye Fan muttered to himself, followed the crowd, and soon found a middle-aged man, paid the money, and signed up.

..........

There were still a few days before Ye Fan was to become an apprentice to a weaponsmith, and Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had no clues about the Dragon Vein Book map, so for the next few days, the two simply continued to hang out with An Erni.

Of course, the routes that Ye Fan and Liu Mengying took had never been repeated...

.........

Five days later,

at night,

"Brother, we have almost toured the outer city of Qinhuai City... Shall we continue our tour? And I don't know why, but I feel a little dizzy..."

Liu Mengying, who was somewhat tired, lay on the bed and muttered.

"Dizziness... Xiaodouya, have you ever felt this way before?"

Ye Fan was originally lying on a rattan chair on the balcony on the third floor of the inn, swaying leisurely. Hearing Liu Mengying's muttering, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"also?"

Liu Mengying turned over and looked at Ye Fan, "Big brother, are you feeling dizzy too?"

"There was a little bit before... but then it disappeared... I thought it was because I was tired from the training..."

Ye Fan replied quickly.

"I see... I'm not really sure... This kind of dizziness... But it will go away after a while or after a good night's sleep..."

Liu Mengying sat up, thought for a while, and answered.

"What the hell?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned.

...........

Midnight,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had already fallen asleep in their respective rooms. Suddenly, there was a sound of metallic collision outside the inn, followed by the sound of tiles being crushed on the roof of the inn where Ye Fan was.

“Clang, clang!”

“Bang! Crash!”

Amidst the sounds of metal colliding and tiles breaking, a big hole appeared in the roof where Ye Fan was sleeping, and then several figures jumped down.

"What are you guys doing? Can't you let me sleep so late at night?"

Ye Fan sat up from the bed and looked at the figures in the dark ahead with dissatisfaction.

"court death!"

A burly figure roared, and the earth-attributed profound energy in his body circulated, shooting several flying knives with sharp profound energy towards Ye Fan.

"Buzz!"

Ye Fan casually stretched out his hand and instantly caught the sharp flying knife shot by the burly figure.

"what?"

"what?"

"This boy!"

.........

Seeing this, several figures cried out in shock.

"Crack!"

At this time, a crisp sound was heard, and it was Liu Mengying who walked out of the room. Her hair was a little messy, and she was holding a black stone lamp.

"Hey~ It's Sister Ah Xia!"

Liu Mengying took a look in the light of the black stone lamp and immediately exclaimed.

After hearing Liu Mengying's words, the sleepy Ye Fan followed Liu Mengying's gaze and was surprised, because one of the four people who just fell from the hole in the roof was Ah Xia, whom he hadn't seen for a long time...

At this moment, Ah Xia's eyes were covered with black satin, she was wearing a gray robe, her hair was a little disheveled, and there were many bleeding wounds on her body. In her hand, she held a straight knife that was shining with cold light and slightly frosted...

"Mengying, Ye Fan, run away!"

Ah Xia actually recognized Ye Fan the moment she heard his voice, and she was very excited.

After all, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were the only people she could barely count as familiar with. After recognizing Ye Fan, she did not say anything because she was afraid of getting Ye Fan into trouble… You know, among the three people chasing her this time, one was a second-rank marquis…

"Clang!"

As Ah Xia spoke, icy mysterious energy surged in his body and he quickly attacked the three killers, but they were quickly beaten back.

"Die!"

One of the killers took advantage of the moment when Ah Xia was chopped on the arm and kicked in the waist by another man, and his figure flashed, and a sharp dagger with golden mysterious energy surging in it stabbed Ah Xia in the back.
