The sun set and night fell.
Su Yan and the errand boy, who had been traveling for a day, rested in a dilapidated temple.
Sitting beside the bonfire, Su Yan leaned against the grass mat. He rested his head on his arms and looked at the beam as he slowly became absent-minded.
Since he was already here, he had to think of a way to survive here.
If his guess was correct, Emperor Han Ling would be dead by next year.
At that time, General He Jin would definitely send troops to kill the eunuchs, which would lead to the chaos of the Ten Generals.
After that, Dong Zhuo led his troops into the capital and began to coerce the emperor into giving orders to the princes.
After that, it would be the real chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms.
At that time, he would disregard human lives and war would continue. How could Su Yan hide from his past?
He was in Youzhou, and the past few years had been a time of war.
Last year, Zhang Chun, the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, and Zhang Ju, the Governor of Mount Tai, joined forces with Qiu Liju, the Lord of Wuhuan, to launch a large-scale rebellion. However, it swept through the entire You Bing Ji region, causing a large number of deaths.
Although the court also ordered Gongsun Zan, the commander of the cavalry, to defeat Zhang Chun and others.
However, although Zhang Chun and the others were defeated, Qiu Liju and the other Wuhuan still occupied the counties in the north of Youzhou. In the north, Youbeiping Prefecture and Liaoxi Prefecture were still resisting.
In order to replenish their rations, the Wuhuan would occasionally send small groups of cavalry to the rear to plunder the people.
Therefore, Youzhou Province was still very dangerous.
However, Su Yan also knew that it was already a rare opportunity for him to be an official. He could not miss it again.
In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, only those who held the military had the right to speak.
Therefore, no matter what, Su Yan could not miss this opportunity.
"Now, I should think about how to increase my strength after taking office.”
Su Yan sighed and thought to himself.
As he thought about it, Su Yan gradually felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.
"Stop!"
"Little girl, you still dare to run!"
"I'll teach you a lesson!"
A loud noise rang out from outside, startling Su Yan so much that he was no longer sleepy.
He stood up and looked towards the temple entrance, only to see a young woman in a white dress running in.
Behind him were five or six burly men holding steel knives.
When the woman saw a few burly men chasing after her, she desperately rushed into the temple and saw Su Yan standing in the temple hall.
"Young Master, save me!"
Her eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior. She shouted and ran towards Su Yan.
"Oh no! There are still people here!"
The burly men were stunned when they saw Su Yan and the errand boy.
"What's there to be afraid of? They're just a poor scholar and a weak servant.”
Someone suggested.
The few of them nodded in agreement and walked inside with their sabers.
"Young Master, save me!"
The woman ran behind Su Yan and said in fear.
Su Yan looked at the few burly men and then looked at the woman behind him. Two lines of words immediately appeared in front of him.
1. Choose to save the woman and obtain the Basic Sword Master title.
2. If you choose not to save him, you will receive a Fine Steel Sword.
Two choices appeared in front of him. Su Yan chose the first one without thinking.
These burly men were obviously not good people. Even if he did not save this woman, he probably would not be able to escape. He might as well strike first.
Since he was in this chaotic world, he needed some self-defense skills.
"Ding! [You have chosen to save the woman. You have received: Basic Swordsmanship Master!]”
A strange warm current surged into his body. Su Yan felt a large amount of sword art essentials suddenly surge out of his mind.
Whoosh!
He casually pulled out the sword from the ground. It felt very familiar in his hand, as if he had practiced it countless times.
Looking at the burly men walking over, he said indifferently,"Who are you?"
"Kid, you saw something you shouldn't have. We have no choice but to send you to hell.”
"Go to hell!"
Six people, each holding a steel knife, charged at him with fierce expressions.
The woman covered her eyes in fear.
Su Yan looked at these people with a calm expression. He only moved when the nearest one swung his saber at him.
He dodged the blade.
Su Yan swung his sword and stabbed towards the person's ribs.
Chi!
The long sword pierced into his body, and the man screamed and fell back.
As soon as he fell, three people followed behind him and slashed at Su Yan with their sabers.
Su Yan's expression did not change. He dodged the person in front and gently raised his sword, knocking away the sabers in the hands of the two people behind him.
With a twist of his wrist, the blade of the sword drew a white light.
A bloody gash appeared on their throats, and blood spurted out as they fell to the ground.
In a single exchange, three of the six burly men were dealt with.
"Go!"
The remaining three people gritted their teeth and made up their minds. They charged at Su Yan from the front and back.
"Humph! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Su Yan sneered. Looking at the three people charging at him, one of them bent down to dodge the pincer attack.
The long sword was held horizontally, and it slashed upwards with all its might!
Swoosh!
The sharp blade instantly slashed through the chest of a person in front of him, and blood spurted out.
Su Yan took advantage of the situation to turn his blade into a sharp point. With a swing of his wrist to the left, a cold light gently slashed across the throat of the person on the left.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them instantly fell down.
Su Yan turned around and looked at the person who was fighting. He smiled coldly, raised his sword, and stabbed forward!
Bang!
After dealing with the last one, Su Yan bent down and wiped the blood off the sword before putting it back into its sheath.
The entire process seemed very slow, but it was actually very fast. It only took a few moments to brew a cup of tea.
Su Yan's movements were also very simple. It was just ordinary basic movements such as waving, picking, chopping, and wiping.
These were all simple movements of basic sword techniques, and anyone could do it.
Su Yan, who possessed a Master-level sword skill, was already capable of turning something rotten into something miraculous.
Even the most ordinary sword technique could be played with by him.
These burly men looked like ordinary bandits, but they only had brute force.
It would be difficult to not lose against Su Yan's Master Sword Art.
"Alright, it's fine. The people have been taken care of.”
Su Yan softly said as he looked at the young lady who was hiding at the back.
