Returnee in Jianghu - C8

Compared to Qingzhou City, Lishui City was of a completely different style.

Jiang You Yu sat on the shaft of the carriage and gazed at the distant Linshui City. It was as if he had entered the land of fireworks.

The entire Riverside City was surrounded by large and small lakes, and they were like fragmented mirrors that crisscrossed throughout the entire Riverside City. In those countless ponds, there were countless paths that intersected and interconnected with each other. From time to time, a group of duck geese would jump over the water and disappear into a few short bushes.

The gray city was also half-hidden behind the bushes, and it had a unique atmosphere.

Further off in the distance was a mountain range, just like the one in Riverside City. The mountains were green and black, and even though they were far away, one could still see the beautiful scenery of the mountains, as well as the large and small lakes outside of Lishui City.

“It’s a place with mountains and rivers.” Jiang Youyu sighed. No wonder the families of the great clans in the city loved to run towards that river. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … It was now late autumn. To have such a sight was much better than the coldness and severity of the Mystic Moon Sect.

Just as Jiang Youyu was looking at the scene of the water, the sound of metallic hooves rapidly approached from the public road.

Old Gu raised the reins and turned around to look at the many men in ink robes. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with. He quickly shook the reins and urged the carriage to the side of the road.

“Jia! Jia!”

The unceasing shouts and shouts came from far away, and along with the sounds of the horses, a large amount of dust rose on the public road. Jiang You Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked through the smoke and dust at the rapidly disappearing group of men. His brows slightly furrowed before quickly vanishing.

Jiang You Yu spat on the ground and quickly used his hands to blow away the dust. These horse riders were too immoral. At the very least, they had to be slow when facing people.

Another “pei pei” sound was heard. Jiang Youyu urged Old Gu and hurriedly left with the carriage.

Seeing that they had arrived at the city gate, Jiang You Yu patted the dust off his body with a face full of misfortune. He walked all the way and ate all the dust on the way, and seeing that the city gate was about to close, he did not dare make Old Gu stop and wait for the dust to disperse.

“Old Gu, if you don’t know the way, you must remember to ask someone. If you didn’t run into the wrong path today, we would have to suffer this sin.” Also, don’t let me meet this person wearing an ink-blue robe. “Forget it, let’s hurry into the city.” Jiang You Yu didn’t want to say anything more, but he was afraid that he had already memorized all of the people in the green ink robes in his heart.

Looking at the fierce expression on Jiang Youyu’s face, Old Gu silently prayed in his heart for those who were remembered by Jiang Youyu.

As the horse carriage entered the city, Jiang Youyu found an inn as well. However, this time, when they were picking out an inn, Jiang Youyu was distracted. They had reached an agreement with Old Gu and were determined to not stay in any family inn. Thus, they had to find the entire lakeside. In the end, in a deserted inn near the luan water, Jiang Youyu would bring Old Gu in.

There were only three to five people in the inn besides Jiang Youyu and Old Gu, and they also inquired with the shopkeeper. It was said that there were two scholars together, and there was also a peddler.

“Rest assured, our inn has a lot of reputation here. If it is those messed up people, they will not stay in our inn.” Noticing Jiang Youyu’s concerns, the innkeeper hurriedly made a promise.

Jiang Youyu nodded and straightforwardly paid the bill. “Oh right, storekeeper, can I ask you something?”

After the shopkeeper received Jiang You Yu’s silver, a smile that was like chrysanthemum bloomed on his face. “Sir, please tell me. As long as it’s something that happened in Lin Shui city, I, Dong San’er, will know about it.” The shopkeeper’s words instantly made Jiang Youyu feel that he asked the right person, so he quickly followed up, “Then does the storekeeper know how to meet Miss Yin Shi?”

Jiang Youyu had not forgotten about her darts. She had to do something to get the money. Besides, the first dart was extremely important to make his reputation known in the Three Rivers Escort Office, and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

The shopkeeper didn’t exaggerate Dong Three’er’s reputation as he glanced at Jiang Youyu from head to toe. Then, he shook his head and said, “Little brother, I advise you not to have any ideas on that Miss Yin.”

When the shopkeeper saw Jiang Youyu’s outfit, he guessed that she must have been attracted by Lady Yin’s great fame and thus entered the Rainwater City. Everyone loved beauty. The shopkeeper had also been young before, and he had also been ridiculous before. He knew that at Jiang Youyu’s age, he was the one who adored women the most. Hearing that it was rumored that the head of Ming-Yang’s cleaners had entered the water, it was natural that they could not help but want to obtain a beautiful woman’s heart.

If it was a normal situation, the shopkeeper would encourage a young man like Jiang Youyu to tell the younger generation how to make a girl fall in love with him. However, this was no ordinary occasion.

It seemed that Manager Dong still had more secrets to tell him. He turned around and waved at Jiang Youyu, hinting for her to go close to his ear. Then, he whispered in his ear in a mysterious manner, “This Miss Yin is not to be touched. “I heard that one or two corpses were occasionally fished out of the Luanshui River for the past two days. Those corpses were all for the outstanding young elites of Lady Yin who had once been in the limelight in this Rainwater City.”

Manager Dong lowered his voice and looked at Jiang Youyu with a face full of suspicion. His face still had a look of disbelief. “From the sound of little brother’s accent, you’re an outsider, right?” When you enter the city, are you able to see the thirteen mountains of Linshui City? ”

Jiang You Yu nodded his head, and then Manager Dong moved closer to Jiang You Yu, “Do you know what those thirteen mountains are called?”

Jiang Youyu listened as the shopkeeper spoke of the mysteries behind his words, while the confusion on her face deepened. Why did I have to find Yin Shi Shi to talk about that mountain again? However, the shopkeeper had already said all that he wanted to say. In order to obtain Yin Shi’s whereabouts, Jiang Youyu could only restrain her annoyance. Following the shopkeeper’s instructions, she asked, “I would like to ask you, what are the names of the thirteen mountains?”

“Thirteen Mountains …”

“Are you f * cking messing with me?” Jiang Youyu had organized countless cool words in his mind, but he had never expected the shopkeeper to say them so mysteriously. He had even foolishly asked about it from the storekeeper’s mind, but in the end, he ended up with these three words.

Isn’t this bullying? Did he think he was brainless? If the thirteen mountains were not called the thirteen mountains, then was it called the fourteen mountains? Jiang Youyu was furious. He could feel that the world was deeply hostile towards him.

The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Youyu, who instantly became enraged. His face was filled with suspicion as he didn’t know where he had provoked Jiang Youyu.

“Thump!” Jiang You Yu pulled down the sword at his waist and smashed it on the shopkeeper’s counter. Then, he looked at the storekeeper with a face full of anger.

“This… “What does that mean?” The shopkeeper was stuttering. Although the short sword that Jiang Youyu smashed onto the counter was a bit too sulky, it was still a lethal weapon in his hands. He had to at least give them some face.

“What do you mean? What do you mean? Tell me, are the thirteen mountains not called the thirteen mountains? Are they called the fourteen mountains? Could it be that the young master really looks like a fool? I asked you how do you want to meet Yin Shi Shi, but you said that this was all for naught. ” As Jiang Youyu vented his anger, the short sword in his hand smashed against the counter time after time. His gaze was filled with embarrassment and anger as he stared at the shopkeeper, ready to make a move at any moment.

The shopkeeper finally understood what the problem was. Seeing that Jiang Youyu was about to make a move, he quickly revealed an awkward smile, “Then Yin Shi Shi is at Spring Festival Gala. You can ask around in the city and you’ll know.” The shopkeeper quickly pointed out the location of Yin Shi Shi and reported it to Jiang Youyu. Only after seeing Jiang Youyu stare coldly at him as he retracted his sultry short sword did he exhale and carefully wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

It’s all my fault for opening my mouth, why can’t I explain myself?

The head storekeeper really wanted to give himself a good slap. He lifted his head and saw the anger on Jiang Youyu’s face. He hurriedly walked out of the counter to fawn and piled his smile on the fat on his face.

“I didn’t explain it earlier. Please forgive me.” Jiang Youyu snorted coldly at the shopkeeper’s flattery. “However, I would advise young master not to go to the Spring Festival Gala.” The young master of the thirteenth mountain let out a few words. If anyone were to order Miss Shi Shi’s cards around, they would be making her an enemy of the thirteenth mountain. Thirteen Mountains was not some kind of land. People who came and went from it were people with swords and sabers, and they wanted to see Xue Moyan kill the moment there was a disagreement. “The Thirteen Mountains are the leaders of the martial arts people. They are the officials of our Waterfront Hall and they have shown great tolerance towards the thirteen mountains.” The shopkeeper still couldn’t bear to see Jiang You Yu lose his life. Seeing that Jiang You Yu was about to go to the Spring Festival Gala to look for Miss Yin, he still tried to persuade him.

“The sword in my hand is not made for nothing.” Seeing the shopkeeper’s kind heart, Jiang Youyu didn’t bother with his words. He waved the sword in his hand towards the shopkeeper, his face full of confidence.

The shopkeeper’s eyes circled around the sword in Jiang Youyu’s hand, and he looked at the multicolored gemstone on its scabbard, with an expression that he didn’t know what to say. He looked at Jiang Youyu, but he still couldn’t bear to see this great youth in front of him die like this, “Young master is naturally not afraid of those people from the martial arts world, but that Miss Yin Shi Shi is considered to be forbidden by the young masters of the thirteen mountains. What I just said, that corpse in the Luan River is evidence. ”

The manager had a kind heart.

Jiang Youyu patted the shopkeeper’s shoulder and thanked him, “I appreciate your kindness. First, please serve me a few dishes. I’ll take a look at those 13 mountains tomorrow.”

From the looks of it, the Thirteen Mountain seemed to be the tyrant of the Jianghu forces in Lin Shui’s area. However, he did not know how powerful these forces were.

The shopkeeper saw that Jiang You Yu was determined to get the Thirteen Mountains, so he didn’t try to persuade her. He turned around and arranged for the kitchen to serve the dishes for Jiang You Yu.

“Old Gu, have you heard of this Thirteen Mountains?” Jiang Youyu was looking towards Old Gu, who was standing beside her. Old Gu was an experienced person, after all. If these thirteen mountains reached a certain level, then Old Gu would definitely have some impression of them.

Old Gu shook his head, then turned to Jiang Youyu and said, “How about we not go to that Spring Festival Gala? After all, your injuries …”

From Old Gu’s point of view, offending the thirteen mountains for a woman was not worth it. After all, Old Gu had seen such arrogance in the actions of the second generation members of various forces in the martial arts world.

“It’s okay, it’s not like those other families, a place like this can’t even enter my eyes.” There were powers that even Old Gu had never heard of. Those were at most an Earth rank master or two, and Earth rank goods were still far from being a threat to Jiang You and Yu.

Old Gu knew he was trying to persuade the river to have fish, but he didn’t put a local martial arts force in his heart.

As the storekeeper shouted for the dishes to be served, Jiang Youyu began to eat with Old Gu.

It was precisely Jiang Youyu who was eating. A young man dressed in black, carrying a sword on his back, walked in from the entrance of the inn. The young man was extremely tall, at least half a head taller than Jiang Youyu. The expression on his face was very cold. His entire body was like ice, making it seem as if his entire body was made of ice. The young man with the sword on his back glanced at Jiang Youyu and Old Gu, who were eating. Then, with a hint of hesitation, he shifted his gaze away from Old Gu.

“Manager, serve the dishes.” The young man sat down beside Jiang Youyu. His voice also carried a hint of coldness. As the young man sat down, it seemed that the temperature around him had become a little colder.

The young man sized up Jiang You Yu and Jiang You Yu also sized up the young man. The two of them locked gazes for a while, before their gazes both withdrew their gazes as usual.

Having received his gaze, Jiang Youyu glanced at Old Gu. Seeing that Old Gu did not show any reaction, he could only continue eating.

The darkness of the night shrouded the entire area near the water.

After Lishui City, there were countless torches lit up on the 13 mountain peaks that were like gigantic beasts lying down in the dark night.

The entire thirteen mountains were filled with solemnness. Even the Green Pine Mountain, which used to stand at the edge of the lake, was completely solemn at this moment.

Zhuang Jingming followed the experts of the 13 mountains on the mountain path, trying his best to restrain his impatience. As the Young Lord of Thirteen Mountain, he naturally knew that Thirteen Mountain was facing some trouble. Even he, who was supposed to accompany Yin Shi Shi to admire the moon, was called by his father to the Green Dragon Mountain.

“Young Lord!” A middle-aged man wearing an azure ink robe with an extremely pale complexion bowed respectfully towards Zhuang Jingming before following behind Zhuang Jingming’s subordinates as they made their way towards a pavilion on the mountainside.

If Jiang Youyu was here, he would have definitely recognized this middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was the culprit that made Jiang Youyu eat all the dust on the way here.

“Are you hurt?” Zhuang Jingming took a whiff of the bloody smell that entered his nose and glanced at Zhuang Huan beside him. His face revealed a trace of astonishment. Zhuang Huan was one of the top experts in the entirety of Thirteen Mountain. Her martial arts had helped Thirteen Mountain repress the influence of various large and small forces. And Zhuang Jingming, who could be called an expert in Zhuang Jingming’s memories, was actually injured. This made Zhuang Jingming’s father, who had made a fuss over nothing, suddenly disappear.

“The opponent is an Earth rank master. If it wasn’t for our brothers risking their lives to keep him busy, then my life might have been in his hands.” Zhuang Huan recalled her battle with that young man, her eyes filled with fear.
