After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

Four young men dressed in fine clothes walked in one after another.

The person who had just spoken up was the leader, and the person behind him, dressed in a dark purple robe, was immediately recognized by Zheng Zhian as the person the old man had begged yesterday—Ge Gao, the young master of the Ge family.

Upon seeing the group, the shopkeeper, who was still behind the counter, hurriedly came out, approached Ge Gao with a fawning smile, and bowed his head, saying, "Young Master." He then greeted the other group, "Greetings, three gentlemen."

His mind raced. Why were these people all here together today?

Previously, the young master would come to check the accounts every month and then leave, but now these gentlemen have actually come here for the first time ever.

One of them stood up and tentatively looked at the two behind him. The one wearing a grass-green layered robe with cloud patterns and a brown brocade belt with fairy flower patterns tied around his waist, with his black hair tied up high, and a pair of clear and bright phoenix eyes that looked righteous, clasped his hands and asked, "Young master, are you Du Huaibo of Qingfeng Sect?"

Du Huaibo returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "It is indeed I."

Upon hearing this, many swordsmen and knights in the hall began to whisper among themselves.

"I'd always heard that the Qingfeng Sect was in Changfeng, and I never expected to actually meet Du Huaibo, the successor of the Qingfeng Sweeping Away Fallen Leaves. This trip was definitely worthwhile..."

"It was definitely worth the trip. I heard that three years ago he was able to fight against the renowned Golden-Backed Ghost Blade Chesper."

"In that case, he might have a place on this year's hero rankings..."

The hall was filled with chatter, but the burly man glanced at them disdainfully, sat back down, and continued drinking without saying a word.

"Tell me if that's what you mean?" The man at the door looked at the burly man with a sarcastic smirk.

Zheng Zhian, leaning against the second-floor railing, looked down at the people below, raising his eyebrows slightly.

The person who can make Ge Gao follow behind must be of high status.

The burly man took a sip of the wine in his bowl, and without turning his head, said, "Different people have different opinions, why should this old man say more?"

“We are living in peace now, and there is no war on the border. Are you saying that you are hoping for chaos to break out again, so that you can become heroes in troubled times and that this is what it means to be wholeheartedly for the people?” Du Huaibo stepped forward and raised his question with righteous indignation.

Many people present echoed his words, and even the way they looked at him changed considerably.

Zheng Zhian was puzzled. The big man's words were clearly not wrong, so why were these people still being so aggressive?

"His father was a figure on the previous list of heroes."

Zhao Erniu moved to her side at some point and explained her doubts in a low voice.

boom--

The burly man slammed the wine bowl he was holding onto the table, stood up, gripped the longsword beside him, turned to face Du Huaibo, and smoothed the loose strands of hair on his forehead with his other hand. "Heroes of troubled times? Your Du family isn't worthy of that title."

The moment he turned around, Du Huaibo saw his face clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his body quickly became alert and defensive.

The burly man's longsword was suddenly drawn, thrusting straight at Du Huaibo.

As the two fought, many guards rushed in from outside the inn and immediately joined the battle, as did the men who were with the burly man.

These events happened in an instant, and no one knew why things had turned out this way. Many people in the crowd were accidentally injured, causing the scene to become increasingly chaotic.

Many people tried to leave through the door, but there were already people blocking them from the outside, so many rushed to the second floor.

Zheng Zhian and the others quickly retreated into the house. A curved knife slid past her eyes and plunged straight into the door frame, blocking her way.

Ling Fei immediately stopped the assassin coming up the stairs. Just as Dan Qin was about to push open the door, it was opened from the inside.

Fortunately, Danqin reacted quickly, and Zheng Zhian and his group were soon surrounded. Xiao Huachi leisurely raised his hand from time to time to repel the approaching assassins.

Zheng Zhian had just dodged the incoming arrow and was about to warn Zhao Erniu beside him when Zhao Erniu, like an eel, moved freely through the crowd, and no one even touched the hem of his clothes.

Downstairs, things were in complete chaos.

She scoffed lightly, "Master, it's all your fault!"

She and Yuan Ming had never encountered any assassination attempts along the way. However, as soon as their master arrived, these people followed closely behind. It would be hard to believe they hadn't come with them.

Xiao Huachi slapped away the attacking assassin with his palm, "Do you think your master is so old that he's deaf and blind?!"

"Isn't it the truth?" Zheng Zhian, with a cunning stance, kicked the person in front of him in the groin. The person screamed in pain and instinctively tried to cover himself with his hands.

She seized the opportunity, caught the falling sword, and spun around to swipe it across the man's neck.

She lightly flicked her longsword, a radiant smile on her face. "Does it hurt?"

Before he fell, his eyes were wide open, staring straight at her with incomprehensible surprise. Blood streamed from his mouth, and he no longer had the chance to sigh.

"Alright, now you're even making fun of your master." These people were nothing to Xiao Huachi, but after killing one batch after another, he snorted in annoyance, "Little guys, go inside and leave through the window. I'll slaughter them all without leaving a single one alive."

"Alright, Master, take care. Remember to leave your body intact for me to collect when I return!"

Zheng Zhian responded decisively, and Danqin, Lingfei, Yuanming, and the others quickly moved closer.

Just as the group jumped out of the window, they were interrupted by a loud shout.

"Take them all, leave no one behind."

"Yes."

A group of well-trained soldiers, dressed in silver armor and with curved swords at their waists, quickly surrounded them, while the rest rushed into the inn.

Lu Hua looked at the people who jumped out of the window, and was even more surprised that the youngest of them looked to be only eight or nine years old, and the long sword in his hand was still covered with fresh blood.

To remain so calm at such a young age when witnessing such a bloody scene, and judging from the posture of the others who stood in his place to protect him when the soldiers approached, this young man is probably no ordinary person.

Zheng Zhian glanced at the surrounding soldiers, threw down his longsword, grabbed the cloth around Danqin's waist, and whispered, "Danqin, I'm scared."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming instinctively turned to look at her. What had she just said? Was she afraid?

Who was the one who was killing the most just now? Now they're scared? You're kidding me.

Zheng Zhian ignored his gaze and moved further behind Danqin.

Danqin paused, sheathed her longsword, and looked at the middle-aged general on horseback. "Sir, why are you arresting us?"

"Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble at Laifu Inn, causing sect warfare. There might be spies from other countries among them. Gu, bring everyone in the inn back." Lu Hua said loudly.

Upon hearing the reason, the surrounding people quickly moved away, and no one dared to come forward to watch the show. If they were to get involved with spies, they would be in serious trouble, if not dead.

Danqin said no more, but turned to the side and whispered, "Should I take out your identification badge?"

"I didn't bring it." Zheng Zhian said helplessly. She had brought that thing twice when she first got it, but then she found it troublesome and never brought it again. Anyway, she could go anywhere in Qingyang without any problems, so she didn't need that thing at all.

I completely forgot about identity tags when I came out this time.
