Chapter 22: Encounter with an Assassin, Yu Mao Jin Shu Reveals His Tracks

  Both sides of the path are lush green forests, deep and cool, with occasional patches of sunlight filtering through the leaves to the ground. The birds sing in the forest, the breeze is gentle, making people feel refreshed and invigorated, as if their body and mind have been washed clean by a clear spring.

  Bao Zheng and others walked on the official road to Chenzhou, with a cat and an old mouse following behind. In the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up, revealing a stretch of green stone pavement laid out before them!

  The procession suddenly stopped, and in front of the stone road, a man stood on the steps, wearing a green collar and gray bottom long shirt, with a square scarf tied around his head, a wrapped belt around his waist, and holding a sword-like weapon in his left hand!

  "What's going on!?" Bao Zheng's voice came from inside the sedan chair!

  "Reporting to Your Excellency, there are people blocking the road ahead!" Ma Han walked up to the sedan chair and said.

  "Who dares block our way?" Bao Gong asked.

  "Don't be in a hurry, sir. Let the student take a look!" Gong Sun Ce got off the sedan chair and looked at the person standing in front of him, asking, "Who are you? Why do you want to block Mr. Bao's way?"

  "Cold and lonely!" The man snorted, "Is this really the ceremonial guard of Bao Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng?"

  Gongsun Ce was taken aback, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "This is indeed Lord Bao's ceremonial guard, what business do you have? And yet, you dare to address Lord Bao by his given name, what crime should you be punished for?"

  Leng's lonely cold smile sounded, "Since it is Bao Zheng's escort team, then there's no mistake, I'm going to file a complaint!"

  "Who are you going to sue?!" Bao Da suddenly got off the sedan chair, waved his hand to stop Gong Sun Ce and asked.

  Cold and lonely cold smile, "I want to sue, is Kaifeng Fu Fu Yin Bao Gong!"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone let out a cry of surprise!

  Bao Zheng was also slightly stunned and asked, "What do you want to accuse this court of?"

  "I'm going to tell you that someone's life is at stake!" Leng Juedu let out a cold hum, "Do you still remember Leng Ao?"

  Bao Zheng's eyes widened slightly, his brow furrowed, and he fell silent for a moment before saying, "Not bad, this man three years ago, killed people in succession, exterminated humanity, died under the dog-headed guillotine of this prefecture! What is your relationship with him?"

  "Cold and lonely, quietly said, 'I am his son, cold and lonely!'"

  Gongsun Ce hastily said, "Leng Dudu, your father's crimes are on record in Kaifeng Prefecture. Whether or not Judge Bao is guilty of murder can be clearly seen from the case files!"

  Leng's loneliness tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, and the killing intent had already spread out. "My father did not exterminate humanity, he was a substitute for heaven to punish evil, those people should die, but you are incompetent, trampling on human life, today, I will avenge my father!"

  With a clang, the weapon in his hand had already been unsheathed. Cold and lonely let out a cold hum, just about to move forward, when Ma Han let out a loud roar, drew out his steel knife, and blocked Cold and Lonely's path!

  "Protect Master Bao!" Gong Sun Ce hastily shouted, and many people around him rushed over to surround Master Bao and Gong Sun Ce!

  "Coldly and indifferently staring at Ma Han, 'Get out of the way, I don't intend to harm innocent people. As long as Bao Hei Zi's life is spared, all of you get out of my way!'"

  Ma Han let out a loud roar and swung his knife down, but was easily dodged by Leng Juedu. He reached out and grabbed Ma Han's wrist, exerting force to shock him, and directly returned Ma Han's steel knife back into its scabbard!

  Not far behind Bao Zheng, two figures in blue and white appeared at the same time as Leng Jidu, and began to discuss him. "White brother, what do you think of this person?" Zhang Zhao asked, looking at Leng Jidu.

  "It's not that his skills are bad, but if compared to Wu Ye, within thirty moves, Wu Ye can capture him!" Bai Yutang replied nonchalantly, shaking the folding fan in his hand.

  Zhan Zhao's belly is full of evil intentions, really a show-off. Now it's already autumn, what's the point of fanning yourself with that fan all day? Are you afraid others won't know how narcissistic you are?!

  She smiled lightly and turned her head towards a nearby place.

  Chilly loneliness, the chilly loneliness in version 93! Zhan Zhao helplessly curled his lips. Oh heavens, stop playing tricks on me, okay? One moment you give me version 93, and the next moment you give me some unknown version... what's going on, oh heavens? Can't things just be normal for once?!

  "Hey, kitty!" Bai Yutang put away his fan, "That one called Leng Jidu, the killing aura is already spreading out!"

  Zhan Zhao nodded and said with a fist in hand, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Bai!"

  Bai Yutang's face twitched, "Let Wu Ye go up, what do you need this stinky cat for? You can already use your inner power, but your moves are not yet formed. It's just right to borrow this to hone your instincts. This way, you can also quickly remember the moves from before. So, you go up, I'll hold down the fort. When you're no good, Bai will take action!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Alright, Bai brother, I was just joking with you. Let me take this opportunity, if I'm not up to it, then you can step in!"

  "Go!" said Bai Yutang with a smile.

  Neither of them worried about Bao Da, Bai Yutang because Cold Lonely was good at martial arts, but only a first-rate master, not an absolute top-notch master, so he didn't put him in his eyes. Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, remembered the TV series from his previous life, and this Cold Lonely was a good person, so neither of them worried about Bao Zheng!

  After Leng Jiyuan drew out his weapon, Zhan Zhao's face was stunned. It was a sword-like thing that looked like a Japanese wakizashi, but thinking again, Zhan Zhao remembered that China had a kind of weapon called Tang knife a long time ago, which was similar to the wakizashi, but longer than it. Apparently, this was the Tang knife!

  However, thinking of this, Zhan Zhao's face turned sour again. It seemed that it wasn't quite like the 1993 version of Judge Bao...

  In the 1993 version, although there was Leng Jiyuan, but no Zhang Qingsong, and Leng Jiyuan used a sword, now it's changed to a Tang knife, it seems that one still has to rely on oneself, the TV series of past life is not reliable!

  Bai Yutang's expression suddenly changed, and he had already knocked down several guards with his cold and lonely sword. He was now close to Bao Zheng's front, the Tang knife flashing with a cold light as it stabbed towards him. Gong Sun Ce turned around and shielded Bao Zheng behind him, using his own body to block the blow!

  Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and scooped up several stones from the ground, let out a cold hum, and with a flick of his wrist, sent them flying towards the solitary Tang knife. Bai Yutang was indeed Bai Yutang, and the few stones he threw out were actually top-notch hidden projectiles!

  Leng's solitary and stern expression changed, Tang Dao suddenly withdrew, the sound of "ding ding" rang out, several stones had already been picked up by Tang Dao!

  At a glance, not far away, two figures in blue and white walked over. One was dressed in white, with a handsome and elegant demeanor, a pair of peach blossom eyes, clear and flowing, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. The other wore a long blue shirt, refined and handsome, with a majestic bearing, a pair of bright black eyes, shining like water, with a flash of light in the corner of his eye, as if it were a twinkling star!

  The two of them walked over at a normal pace, without hurrying.

  Bao Zheng and Gong Sun Ce saw the two men suddenly stunned, and they opened their mouths at the same time, "Zhan Hu Wei, Bai Shao Xia, you..."

  Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow, seemingly smiling yet not quite, interrupting the two men's conversation. "Lord Bao, Mr. Gong Sun, are you surprised to see us?"

  "Long time no see, Lord Bao!" Zhan Zhao said with a slight bow of his fist, then turned his head to look at Leng Gudu!

  "What crime should Lord Bao be guilty of for being assassinated?"
