Egret Medical Center.
Zhang Bailu usually gave medicine to doctors, so she had a good reputation in this area. In addition, Zhang Yan was obedient and cute, so she was loved by the neighbors. Therefore, although the business of the Bailu Medical Center was not very good, no one had ever caused trouble.
But today, the situation had clearly changed.
"Father, it seems that quite a number of people from the martial arts world have come to the capital recently?”
Zhang Yan was brewing medicine when she saw her father, Zhang Bailu, walk in. She couldn't help but glance outside the courtyard and say,"These people seem to be very rich. Why didn't they go to the big medical center in Beijing when they were sick?”
A trace of doubt appeared on her face.
This was the outer Urban area of the capital, and in the eyes of many people, it was even a slum. The few young people in the courtyard all had swords at their waists and were dressed in martial arts. They exuded a haughty aura from head to toe, as if they had some background.
Just a moment ago, Zhang Yan even saw the person in the lead throw a large ingot of silver to Zhang Bailu before he had even seen the doctor.
It was obviously very strange for such a person to appear here.
What was even stranger was that Zhang Bailu smiled bitterly when she heard that."None of them are sick at all!"
"No one is sick?"
" What are they doing here?" Zhang Yan widened her eyes in surprise." Then what are they doing here?"”
"They are here to inquire about your Big Brother Ling!”
Zhang Bailu said softly, his eyes filled with panic. Although he was not a martial artist, he had lived for a long time. He naturally understood that those people outside were secretly asking about Ling Chen. It was impossible for them to come to visit relatives.
Zhang Yan was shocked.
"Your Big Brother Ling might have offended someone. These people are not friendly…"
Zhang Bailu was clearly aware of her daughter's worries. At this moment, she said worriedly,"So no matter what, you can't let these people know about your relationship with your Big Brother Ling. Otherwise, I'm worried that they will harm you!”
"Father…"
Zhang Yan's face turned red when her father saw through her thoughts. She subconsciously said,""Then I'll go look for Brother Ling and tell him to be careful!”
Before she finished speaking, she put down the pestle and was about to leave.
Zhang Bailu smiled bitterly once again, understanding that her daughter's heart was completely tied to Ling Chen, and couldn't help but worry.
"Those people are in the courtyard. Don't let them see anything…" He hurriedly stopped Zhang Yan.
Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Old fogeys, so you know that Ling Chen. You were still pretending to be with us just now?!”
A figure suddenly rushed in as he shouted. He stared at Zhang Bailu and her father with a cold smile. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhang Yan. It was obvious that he did not expect to see such a delicate and pretty girl in this dilapidated small medical hall.
Following closely behind, the four people in the courtyard also quickly rushed in.
There were a total of five people.
"What…what are you doing?”
Zhang Bailu was shocked. She subconsciously blocked Zhang Yan and shouted,"This is the capital. Do you still dare to commit murder in broad daylight?!”
"Murder?"
None of the five people drew their swords. From their appearance, they indeed had the demeanor of disciples of famous families. However, they all had malicious smiles on their faces, appearing frivolous and foppish. One of them sneered when he heard this."Beijing is so big. Who would know if someone died, and it was a small figure in the slums?”
"Haha, that's right. Besides, we gave you money, but you want to lie to us. We, the Four Prodigies of Green City, have never suffered such a loss in our many years of wandering the martial world!”
"If you suffer a loss, you have to get it back. This is the rule of our Qingcheng Monastery!”
"If you know what's good for you, hurry up and tell us the information we want. Otherwise…"
The few of them spoke one after another, clearly not putting Zhang Bailu in their eyes at all. The gaze of the youth in the lead shifted, but it was still lingering on Zhang Yan.
"Looks like your daughter has a special relationship with that Ling Chen…"
He seemed to have suddenly come to a realization, and his eyes flashed with a bright light."That kid's luck is really good. Not only did he get the emperor's appreciation, he became a thousand household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards overnight, and he also has such a beautiful confidante!”
"However, as long as I catch you, my future status will definitely be a hundred times stronger than his!”
With that, he reached out his right hand with a smirk and grabbed Zhang Yan, who was behind Zhang Bailu.
However, just as he reached out his hand, an inaudible sound of air being torn suddenly rang out. Before the Four Prodigies of Green City could react, they saw a flash of saber light. Yu Renyan's right palm had been completely cut off from the wrist!
Everything happened too quickly!
It was so fast that Yu Renyan did not even feel pain!
He was completely stunned!
Not only him, but the Four Prodigies of Green City behind him were also stunned. Their faces were filled with expressions of seeing a ghost. Before they could cry out in surprise, the sound of air being torn apart was heard again. Yu Renyan's body had already flown out and landed heavily in the courtyard.
"Bang!"
The intense collision between his back and the ground caused his entire body to tremble violently, but he did not feel it at all. At this moment, the piercing pain of his wrist being cut off finally traveled along his nerves and reflected into his brain!
"Ah!"
A mournful wail sounded without any suspense, waking the Four Beauties of Green City from their daze.
" Junior Brother?!"
The four of them were horrified and hurriedly chased out of the courtyard. However, before they could help Yu Renyan up, a mocking voice came from above their heads.
"You country bumpkins from Qingcheng Mountain, you were in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'headquarters and recklessly inquired about the Embroidered Uniform Guards' boss. Do you think that the Qingcheng Sect has already unified the Jianghu and no one dares to provoke us, or do you think that the Embroidered Uniform Guards are all good-for-nothings?”
Pei Lun stood on the wall and asked humbly,"I'm really curious. How does Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Monastery usually educate you?”
" Who is it?!"
The Four Prodigies of Green City were shocked. They hurriedly drew their swords and stood back to back in a defensive posture.
However, the next moment, the four of them staggered at the same time and almost fell to the ground.
In the courtyard of Egret Medical Hall, the Jinyiwei, who had been standing there with a murderous aura, had unsheathed their Embroidered Spring Sabers at the same time, emitting a terrifying aura. At the same time, a dense crowd of figures stood on the courtyard wall, and their crossbows were already loaded, surrounding them!
The pitch-black color on the arrowhead emitted a terrifying chill!
What was more, on the other buildings outside the medical center, there seemed to be an endless number of figures appearing. At a glance, they seemed to stretch endlessly. When the Four Beauties of Green City saw this scene, they could not help but have the illusion that they were surrounded by the entire capital!
"Flying fish robe…embroidered spring saber…"
The four of them were so scared that they peed their pants!
I'm just here to get some information. Why does it feel like I'm being targeted by the whole world?
Were all the Jinyiwei in the capital so free?!
"Is life on Qingcheng Mountain very miserable?”
Right at this moment, Ling Chen held onto Zhang Yan's hand and slowly walked into the courtyard. His expression was calm, but his gaze was as sharp as a knife,"Is that why you are so eager to experience the Imperial Jail of the Embroidered Uniform Guards?”
"Pei Lun, entertain them well. Ask the Qingcheng Monastery which big shot they have come all the way to the capital to get close to!”
