Three days later, Su Xuan had arrived in the territory of Yan State.

He rode away on horseback, and the carriage had long since disappeared.

As early as when they were at the border of Qi State, he had sold the carriage at a low price.

During the Warring States Period, before Qin Shihuang unified the country, carriages in different parts of the seven kingdoms were of different sizes, and the lanes were also wide and narrow. Carriages could often only be driven in one country, and had to be replaced when they arrived in another country, which was extremely inconvenient.

Su Xuan was deeply touched by this. Until this moment, he realized the significance of Qin Shihuang's standardization of the wheel gauge and the writing system.

He picked up the wine jug, took a sip of the wine, and felt a little regretful.

When he was in the territory of Qi State, he had specially packed his carriage. He originally planned to conduct a sting operation and find some gangs of bandits to steal gold coins, but he didn't expect to encounter any gangs.

My goodness, it’s obviously a time of chaos, and he’s so ostentatious, but no one is tempted?

Is the public security in Qi so good?

It made him very puzzled.

Su Xuan was riding a horse and was walking along a small path when he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped moving forward.

Because several huge rocks in front were piled together, blocking the way.

This path is the only way to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and people often pass by it. It is impossible for a few huge rocks to appear out of thin air.

Su Xuan's eyes lit up.

Did someone put this here on purpose?

Finally got the chance to earn gold coins!

Sure enough, more than a dozen strong men jumped out from the bushes and surrounded Su Xuan.

The leader was a fat man with a strong build and a scar on his face. He held two axes in his hands and had a hideous look on his face.

"Boss, this kid is wearing brocade clothes and has delicate skin. He looks like a nobleman. He must have some money."

"How much money can this make? It's not as fun as robbing a caravan. The last time I did it, I was very happy for several months."

"Boss, when will you take us to do something again?"

......

This group of thieves surrounded Su Xuan without any scruples. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they treated Su Xuan as a fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at their will.

Su Xuan sat on the horse, looking at them expressionlessly, with no emotion in his heart, and even felt like laughing.

From their conversation, Su Xuan obtained two useful pieces of information: this group of people were repeat offenders, but it seemed that they had almost spent all the stolen money.

He glanced around and finally stopped at the leader of the thieves, as if he could see the number of gold coins above his head.

The leader of the thieves should be able to at least have a small explosion.

To these robbers, Su Xuan looked like he was completely frightened.

"Boy, now that you've seen me, why don't you get off the horse? I won't be so polite when I ask you to get off later."

"Why are you being polite to this kid? In my opinion, I'd rather just chop him up with a knife and take off all the valuables from him. That would be the cleanest and most efficient way."

.....

"Tie him up. This boy is handsome and has a natural appearance of a pretty boy. If he is sold to a brothel, he will surely fetch a good price."

Finally, the leader of the thieves spoke and called out to his men.

After saying this, Su Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Good man, are you trying to force me to become a Lao Ai template?

Just as the thief took out the lasso and was about to put it on Su Xuan, a deep shout came from a distance.

"stop!"

Su Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure appear at the end of the road. He was wearing a thin blue shirt, puffy pants, a bamboo hat on his head, and a long sword on his back. He was walking slowly towards them from afar.

"You have accomplices? Hehe, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Something's wrong. That guy is not that simple. He is a master."

"So what if he's an expert? Can he be a match for more than a dozen of us?"

"Kid, stop, if you keep going forward, you might lose your life!"

"I told you to stop, did you hear me?"

......

Seeing the people approaching step by step, the group of thieves became nervous.

Unlike Su Xuan who was powerless, the first impression given by the man in front of him was that he was very sharp, like a peerless sword about to be unsheathed.

The swordsman ignored them, stretched out his right index finger, and pushed his hat down slightly.

When he was still several hundred steps away from the thieves, he suddenly quickened his pace, and in a few breaths, he had rushed into the crowd of thieves.

Zheng!

This is the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

With a flash of cold light, most of the thieves were killed at the same time.

The sword was extremely fast, so fast that the group of thieves in front of him couldn't react at all.

"Escape, escape!"

The thieves who were lucky enough to survive reacted with fear of death, were almost incontinent with fear, and fled in panic.

The thief leader reacted even faster. He rode a horse, whipped the horse wildly, and rode away, instantly running ahead of all the surviving thieves.

"Boss, take me with you. Didn't you say we are brothers?"

"Boss, save me..."

The thief leader had a mocking look on his face and left without looking back.

Brother, isn’t it just for selling?

If his brother doesn't block the knife, how can he have a chance to survive?

Soon, the shouting stopped.

The swordsman was extremely fast, like a butterfly flying through flowers. After a few twists and turns, he had killed several fleeing thieves.

The bandit leader took advantage of this opportunity, rode into the woods on horseback, and disappeared.

Only clouds of dust and smoke remain.

The swordsman put away his sword and stood, looking into the distance, shaking his head, as if with regret.

"No need to thank me. This is the duty of knights like me." He pulled his hat down a little more, seemingly unwilling to reveal his true face.

Su Xuan blinked and looked at him without blinking.

Where did this show-off come from? Why is he showing off in front of me?

You think you're cool because you can kill one person every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles, and leave when the job is done, hiding your achievements and fame, right?

Seeing Su Xuan looking at him with such "admiration", the swordsman scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's nothing, you are still young, as long as you work harder on swordsmanship, I believe you can do it in the future."

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

"Alas, it's a pity that my swordsmanship is only moderately accomplished. Even though I used all my strength, one of them still escaped." He sighed softly, seeming unsatisfied.

Su Xuan smiled.

The swordsman waved his hand, "Okay, I'll leave first, maybe we'll meet again in the future..."

He stopped talking halfway.

With a clanging sound, the sword case trembled, the ant was unsheathed, and it flew into the air, like a meteor falling to the ground, tearing the sky apart.

The sword energy was rampant, and the silver light broke through the air, as if it had cut a crack in the sky.

This sword froze the fourteen states and blinded the swordsman's eyes.

In a moment, the sword light flowed, flew back, the long sword was sheathed, and everything returned to silence.

Tick, tick!

The bloody red color dripped onto the swordsman's hat.

This is the blood of the thief leader.

The swordsman's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked up at the sky, dazed.

He turned around with difficulty, as if he wanted to look at Su Xuan again.

"You are not bad." Su Xuan dismounted from his horse, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at him with appreciation.

Jing Ke's face suddenly turned red, and he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
