Both worlds are like dreams

Autumn wind rises, White Dew arrives

In the autumn of the 780th year of the Liuyun calendar, Gu Qinglan, the prince of the Duke of Jingguo, and Mo Ruilin, the fifth prince, uncovered a case of counterfeit currency in the capital of Beiling State.

When this incident happened, there was an uproar in the court and the emperor was furious.

Twenty officials of all ranks under Shen Congfeng's command, including the Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of Works and other court officials, were taken to Tianlao for corruption, bribery, and deceiving the emperor, and will be beheaded in public soon.

Chen Jin, the prefect of Qinghe County, colluded with the Minister of Revenue to mint counterfeit coins and used money to bribe court officials. He was demoted to a commoner and escorted back to the city by Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin and handed over to the Dali Temple for questioning.

Twenty miles away from the South City Gate, a group of people were slowly approaching.

Even though night had fallen, they still had no intention of stopping to rest.

Su Linjin had been accompanying them all the way. He rode his horse to the front of the team and temporarily stopped everyone.

Mo Ruilin asked: "Mr. Su, what advice do you have?"

"Based on my experience of wandering the world for so many years, there must be an ambush ahead."

Gu Qinglan said, "Chen Jin's collusion with the Ministry of Revenue to forge fake documents has far-reaching implications. His testimony is crucial, and his escort back to the city this time will surely attract countless people to silence him."

Su Linjin raised his eyebrows, "I have sent a message to Second Senior Brother, I hope he can act faster."

Mo Ruilin said, "Brother Wei has been really hard-working recently. He has to help us gather information everywhere, keep an eye on the movements of officials in the court, and constantly mobilize people to protect us. He also has to pay attention to the solution to the Snow Phoenix... and the Medicine Man Technique. Let's go back and thank him."

When Xue Huang was mentioned, Gu Qinglan and Su Linjin fell silent.

"Let's not think about it for now," said Mo Ruilin, "Let's go back to the city as soon as possible."

Su Linjin sighed, looked around and said, "We have to fight again."

I saw thick white fog spreading out from the woods on both sides about a mile ahead, quickly blocking the view ahead.

In the darkness of the night, a heavy murderous intent surrounded them.

Gu Qinglan glanced at Chen Jin, "Master Chen, do you think they are here to save you or to kill you?"

A hint of anticipation flashed across Chen Jin's eyes in the prison car, but there was still a lot of panic and fear. He knew too well what would happen to Shen Congfeng if he lost his value.

Mo Ruilin ordered, "Protect the prison van."

Su Linjin drew his sword and pointed it at the white mist. "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years. I despise those cowards who hide their heads and show their tails. If you have the courage, show yourself and see me."

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin also drew their swords and prepared for battle.

With the sound of a whistle, a large number of killers, all wearing black clothes and masks, rushed out from their surroundings.

Su Linjin snorted coldly, "You are indeed a rat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and flew towards a killer like a feather. He drew his sword and swept through the enemy with one move, aiming straight for the killer's throat.

The killer obviously didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so high. He couldn't avoid the sword in time and was hit in the chest.

The killer vomited blood and stepped back, his eyes full of shock. He could never have imagined that this seemingly gentle young man could hurt him with just one move!

He reacted extremely quickly, drawing his sword to meet Su Linjin's attack.

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin were also unwilling to fall behind, and they brandished their weapons to meet the enemy.

The two sides soon engaged in battle, and amid the flashes of swords and sabers, some fine white powder floated out and gradually spread.

Su Linjin frowned, "It's poisonous, hold your breath!"

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin did as they were told immediately, and Gu Qinglan did not forget to cover Chen Jin's mouth and nose.

Su Linjin swept the Seven Killing Sword Intent across with one move, and the sword wind pushed all the poison powder down.

Although he reminded them in time, many people still fell down.

Gu Qinglan frowned slightly. Not only did they want to kill Chen Jin, they also had no intention of letting them leave here alive. What a cruel method.

Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the killers surrounded them again and the two sides were entangled once again.

But what’s different from before is that this time there are some medicine men mixed in among the killers.

As a result, they obviously began to lose ground.

The medicine man is tireless and feels no pain. Even if he falls down, he will stand up quickly.

The guards brought by Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin were quickly killed, leaving only the three of them to protect Chen Jin.

But there were dozens of these medicine men and killers. No matter how skilled the three of them were in martial arts, they could not withstand their continuous attacks.

Moreover, there seemed to be a killer lurking in the dark, with murderous intent looming, as if waiting for an opportunity to kill.

Su Linjin chopped off the head of a medicine man with his sword, making him completely unable to move. "Since you are unwilling to retreat, don't blame me for being unrighteous." After saying this, he continued to swing his Seven Killing Sword Intent and chopped off the heads of several killers in a row.

For a moment, blood was splattered everywhere.

Those killers were frightened by his domineering and brutal killing methods and retreated a little, but those drug men still kept rushing forward.

Gu Qinglan once again used Guiguzi's Seven Wounds Sword Technique, turning defense into offense, and cooperated with Su Linjin to kill the enemy.

But the medicine man was really difficult to deal with, and they also had to take Chen Jin into consideration.

At this moment, a series of cold lights flashed in the dark woods, and it turned out to be a row of hidden weapons shooting directly at the prison van.

Mo Ruilin quickly held up his sword to resist. His martial arts skills were not as good as Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin. Although he blocked all the hidden weapons, the back of his hand was scratched by a hidden weapon.

"Your Highness." Gu Qinglan hurried to his side, and seeing that the blood flowing from his wound was all black, he quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on his body. Then he drew a cross on his wound and squeezed out all his poisonous blood. "This is smeared with poison, how are you?"

Mo Ruilin tore off a piece of cloth and tied it tightly around his wrist like a rope. He couldn't help but frowned, "I'm fine."

"Can you two do this?" Su Linjin shouted, "I can't hold on any longer."

Mo Ruilin pulled his hand back, "Go help him first, leave this to me!"

Gu Qinglan nodded, picked up the sword again and came to Su Linjin, temporarily forcing the medicine man to retreat.

Su Linjin was panting, with two more wounds on his body. "Who did you offend? I can't fight anymore. If you die here today, you will suffer a great loss."

"I'm sorry," Gu Qinglan said, "I've caused Young Master Su so much trouble. If Young Master Su leaves now, Qinglan will definitely not have any complaints."

"What are you talking about?" Su Linjin raised his eyebrows, "I am not the kind of person who would abandon my friends and run for my life."

"In this case, please take them away first, Mr. Su."

"You can't stop it."

Gu Qinglan held the Bi Hai Sword with a determined look, as if he had put life and death aside.

Su Linjin sighed and suddenly shouted, "Second Brother, if you don't come, we will die..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a deep and cold voice interrupt him coldly, "Don't embarrass yourself!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw Wei Yunzhou jumping out from somewhere with the Broken Soul in his hand, landing on the prison van, and looking at the killers coldly.

The white fog in front soon dissipated, and Xu Yao appeared with a dozen assassins from the Shanhe Sect.

Su Linjin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Second Senior Brother, do you really have to be so cool?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunzhou glared at him.

Su Linjin quickly shut up and looked serious, "I was wrong. Thanks to my senior brother for coming in time. I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I will beat you first as a token of my respect."

Wei Yunzhou was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. Duan Hun rolled up a murderous intent in the air, like a flash of lightning across the sky, striking the killer in front of him.

On the other side, Xu Yao and the people from Shanhe Gate didn't say anything and attacked immediately.

Xu Yao's martial arts skills were also top-notch, so the combined attack of him and Wei Yunzhou almost killed more than half of the killers, and the rest were quickly dealt with by the killers from Shanhemen.

But those medicine men still got up. Although they could still fight, their bodies were not as strong as iron walls and indestructible as diamonds.

With Gu Qinglan and Su Linjin injuring them first, and Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao's domineering and fierce swordsmen, the movements of these medicine men have become slow.

At this point, as long as they are completely eliminated, the dilemma can be easily solved.

Wei Yunzhou and his men were well prepared. Every move they made went straight to the enemy's vital points, and they finally finished them off completely.

The killers from Shanhemen then came to the team and dealt with the bodies.

Wei Yunzhou also came in front of Mo Ruilin, looking at his pale face and frowned slightly.

Mo Ruilin leaned against the prison van and forced a smile, "Brother Wei, do you look worried about me or do you dislike me?"

Wei Yunzhou twitched his eyes, thinking that he still had the mind to talk nonsense at this time. Just as he was about to circulate his internal energy, he suddenly felt a very strong murderous aura coming straight at them.

He turned around quickly and saw a black figure flying towards him from the woods like a ghost.

Wei Yunzhou immediately stepped forward and saw that the man was wearing a cloak and a half-golden mask on his face, revealing only his smooth lips and bloodshot eyes.

He frowned slightly, and without thinking too much, he quickly flew forward to block it. But before he reached the opponent, he felt that the opponent's palm power was very strong, and he could not block it by himself. At the same time, he felt that the opponent's palm method was very familiar.

Gu Qinglan, Xu Yao and Su Linjin also stepped forward to stop them. The four of them attacked at the same time. Their powerful internal strength was like a mountain rock standing still in the face of strong winds and huge waves, but they only ended up in a draw.

At the moment of fighting with the man in black, everyone's mind was as fast as lightning. This internal force was as powerful as the river and sea, and as cold as ice and snow. It was all too familiar.

But as they were shocked, another group of men in black appeared behind the man in black, shooting arrows with bows, and all rushed towards Mo Ruilin.

The remaining poison in Mo Ruilin's body had not yet been cleared, and he was completely unable to protect himself at this moment. Fortunately, the killer from Shanhemen reacted quickly and immediately pulled him away.

But at this moment, a black figure appeared on the branch of the tree. In his hand was a fine bow and arrow. The arrow was already on the string. While their palm power could not be withdrawn, he shot directly at Chen Jin.
