"Someone has broken into the City Lord's Mansion. Stop gossiping!"
The soldiers shouted at and drove away the onlookers, forcing them to leave.
Although the people had left, many were still whispering, curious about what was happening in the City Lord's Mansion.
After the soldiers drove away the people, Captain Zheng, who was in the lead, suddenly focused his eyes, raised his head and looked up, and saw the swordsman Jiang Chen who had been standing quietly on the eaves and watching silently.
"Who is sneaking around?" he shouted immediately.
"Captain, this person seems to be the suspicious person who has been wandering around the City Lord's Mansion before?"
"Maybe he is the criminal's accomplice who is in charge of keeping watch!"
"We can't let him go!"
The soldiers shouted and began to chase in the direction of Jiang Chen.
But at this moment, Jiang Chen had a smile on his face.
These soldiers said he was Qiao Lin's accomplice
At this moment, he did not think there was anything wrong with it, he just felt proud of it.
Since the Alien War, the fortunes of the Great Yan Dynasty have declined, and all the warriors who dared to resist have died tragically.
So some people say that there are no warriors left after the Yiren War, and those warriors who survived have their spines broken.
Since then, most warriors have only known how to kill people, seize treasures, and fight for power and profit.
The so-called martial arts are a thing of the past.
When he was young, he also thought about traveling around the world with a sword, but after seeing many things, his passion gradually cooled.
The young man's chivalrous spirit gradually disappeared, and his martial arts skills soon stagnated at the ninth level. He also had a beautiful wife, so that was about it. Other martial artists lived similarly anyway, and no one was nobler than anyone else.
And today, he once again saw a chivalrous man who was willing to sacrifice his life for justice.
"People in Yancheng say that the young hero Qiao Mu has the spirit of an ancient chivalrous man. Now it seems that there is more than just Qiao Mu who has the spirit of an ancient chivalrous man, there is also Qiao Lin!"
"The Qiao family has two righteous men, both of whom hate evil and value justice over life and death. They are admirable and lamentable!"
He had been standing on the roof and basically witnessed the entire incident of breaking into the City Lord's Mansion. He watched Qiao Mu angrily kill the hostage Mr. Guo, and also watched Qiao Mu bravely kill the enemy and die heroically.
As an ordinary ninth-rank warrior, even though it was him that caused the Qiao Mu brothers to get into trouble with the City Lord's Mansion, he did not have the courage and ability to sacrifice his life for justice.
Although he could not be a combatant and die with the heroes, he could still be a witness.
Driven by the soldiers, he used his lightness skills to quickly jump off the eaves and left.
"Little thief, are you going to abandon your companions in the City Lord's Mansion and run away by yourself?" The soldiers were originally still speculating, but when they saw the swordsman Jiang Chen running away, they immediately thought that he must be hiding something and hurriedly chased after him.
"Escape? That's right! Of course I want to escape!"
Swordsman Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
He wants to survive.
Standing on the roof, he not only witnessed Qiao Lin's heroic death, but also saw the scene of the soldiers driving away the people.
"City Lord Guo Yan is very scheming and has great skills."
"After Qiao Lin's death, with the city lord's skills, this incident may soon be whitewashed as a criminal Qiao Lin breaking into the city lord's mansion in broad daylight to commit a crime..."
“So I have to live.”
"Whether it's Qiao Mu or Qiao Lin, your death is definitely not meaningless!"
"If we don't run away, how can we reveal the true identity of City Lord Guo Yan?"
"If we don't live, how can we let the names and deeds of the Qiao brothers spread and avoid being stigmatized by the city lord?"
Later, after his beloved wife broke up with him because the city lord's son snatched a girl in the street, the mirror of life shattered into countless pieces. He was depressed for a long time, spending his days drinking in a daze.
However, the successive deaths of the Qiao brothers gave him great stimulation.
He put his hand on the sword at his waist.
He almost sold this sword to buy wine, but now he was glad that he still had the sword in his hand, and that he still had some dignity as a warrior.
“I am a tiny being, my life is worthless, but my heart is toward the sky.”
“Although I cannot reach it, my heart longs for it.”
"Even I have things to accomplish!"
He leapt up, tapped his toes on the green tiles on the roof, and disappeared from the soldiers' sight.

PS: I'd like to recommend this book again.
Introduction: Based on the story of the sacrifice of the thirteen heroes of the Fire Moth, Alicia brought the seeds of humanity to the new era of human beings with the power of the Herrscher of Man.
... .Until the beginning of the world, a new human being stepped onto the earth, an active and beautiful girl stepped onto the earth.
She destroyed the first Honkai beasts and brought knowledge and technology to mankind, and is known as the grandmother of the Chinese land.
However, it is difficult to describe the evaluation of this grandmother in later generations.
Kiana: Alicia is a very pretty girl, different from Mei. Although Mei can cook, Alicia is special.
Mei: A strange girl who often comes to me to spar with me, but her behavior is strange. Most importantly, she seems to like sticking close to me.
Xier: I like sister Alicia very much. She would sometimes sleep with the frightened Xier. I feel safe in her warm embrace.
Honkai Will: I don’t understand. It was me who sent her to this era, but why did she team up with the Herrscher to fight me in the end? What a traitor! Isn’t she
Alicia said as she looked at Theresa who was resting in her arms.
I am Alicia, not the Herrscher of Corrosion!
Open a bounty
It will be available soon, and I’ll offer a reward.
First, let me talk about the update.
There will be two updates a day, one at 11-12 noon and one at around 9 pm. This is the minimum update. Any more will be considered an extra update.
The update will be delayed when I am stuck or busy. If the delay is too late, I will send a single chapter notification.
Then the key point is: this wave of rewards is opened in advance for listing.
The main thing is to get a feel for the situation in advance, and then based on the bounty situation, I will prepare some drafts in the next few days, and then update them in batches when the game is put on the shelves.
It's up to you how many chapters to put on the shelves.
Current data:
Monthly ticket 964, reward 19,000, start from here.
Then the reward conditions are as follows:
The monthly ticket price is 150 yuan per update, and the reward price is 15,000 yuan per update, which will continue until the end of this month.
According to Hedgehog Cat's standards, one update is 2K words.
After the chapter is put on the shelves, it will be combined according to the situation. The specific number of words or the situation of combined chapters will be marked in the chapter.
No razor blades! No razor blades! No razor blades!
Because this book was revised earlier, I didn't have full attendance this month, so giving me razor blades is useless. I would feel bad if I gave too much.
In addition, if there are really wealthy readers, please don’t give large treasure chest rewards. I mainly want to see the data of this book being listed without treasure chests.
The time for listing is fixed, and it’s this Friday, so there’s no point in rushing, so this wave was prepared a few days in advance.
Chapter 46 We must find out the origins of the Qiao family! (3k)
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
When Qiao Mu crashed into the edge of the well and fell down.
The many guards and servants present breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wanted to fight an enemy who wasn't afraid of death, and now they were finally done.
Only the city lord Guo Yan still had a gloomy expression.
After collecting his son's body, he frowned as he looked at the collapsed well that was buried under rubble, and ordered his servants and guards to continue salvaging.
Turning around, he instructed Zhou Wen beside him:
"Zhou Wen, you stay here and watch. After the servants have finished moving the rubble, you must go into the water and salvage Qiao Lin's body."
Zhou Wen frowned, a little reluctantly:
"I go and fish out the bodies? That's fine too."
When City Lord Guo Yan saw Zhou Wen's reaction, he sighed slightly in his heart.
There are subordinates who dare to fight for him until their death.
For example, Ah Fu, another seventh-rank warrior in the mansion.
But since Qiao Lin appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, it means that Ah Fu has failed. He has not returned for such a long time, so he must be in great danger.
The other loyal subordinates, who usually rushed to the front line in this battle, were almost all killed by Qiumu.
Zhou Wen is already a powerful and reliable subordinate beside him.
Guo Yan himself is still injured and needs to rely on Zhou Wen's strength, so it is not appropriate for him to show a bad face to him at the moment.
As for why Zhou Wen, a seventh-rank warrior, was asked to do such a dirty job as fishing out corpses from a well... it was mainly because Guo Yan also had his own grievances.
He is a steady and cautious person, and he is secretly a member of the Wu Ji Society. If this is exposed, he will be arrested and imprisoned immediately, so he built three secret rooms and two secret passages in the City Lord's Mansion... Unfortunately, there is an escape passage under the well that connects to the underground river.
"Qiao Lin is so seriously injured that he is almost certain to die, but it would be best if his body could be salvaged..."
Thinking this in his mind, City Lord Guo Yan quickly returned to his house and entered his study.
He turned a white crane statue on the bookshelf. With a rumbling sound, the floor split apart to the left and right, and an underground secret room emerged. He quickly stepped in and checked the situation in the secret room.
..
after a while.
"I've been to all three secret rooms in the house, but the secret room in the study has something missing."
"The Martial Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique."
"A secret book was stolen from the secret room, and the secret passage in the well was discovered by Qiao Lin. Could it be that there is a traitor in my house?"
City Lord Guo Yan frowned and thought for a moment, but then relaxed.
He didn't expect that the secret book he lost would be such a secret book.
In other words, it was fortunate that what was lost was the "Martial Spirit Holy Rhinoceros Secret" and not something else.
Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue is not ordinary.
"Qiao Lin has good vision. He sneaked into my secret room and stole a miraculous skill created by a martial arts saint."
"The Martial Saint is a rare genius, the leader of the martial arts world today. The extraordinary skill he created can be described as incredible..."
Thinking of the Martial Saint, City Lord Guo Yan also felt awe in his heart.
This Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue can only be practiced by a martial artist with an extraordinary character. It is a secret manual of martial arts used within the Wu Ji Association to select talents.
This extraordinary skill can be described as incredible, but practicing this extraordinary skill is actually not a good thing.
For example, Guo Yan himself has not practiced this kind of extraordinary skill.
As the lord of Yancheng, he had lived a life of luxury for many years and no longer fought on the front lines, and had long lost the mentality of his early years.
Of course, this is secondary.
The biggest reason is that he doesn't dare to practice.
"This 'Martial Spirit Holy Rhinoceros Art' is indeed magical. It can be practiced by low-level warriors with extraordinary character. It practices intuition, but it is extremely difficult to master."
"Of course, even if you succeed, it may not be a good thing. It can even be said to be a dead end."
Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue.
