Twenty-eight of those beautiful women rose up

  [======????=====]????????????????????This is a small town, and it's also said to be "Ghost Town" or "Blood Washing City".

  The wind blows in gusts, rolling up the withered yellow leaves, and also sending sand into the eyes of passersby, helping people think of sad past events, their faces fallen and bewildered. The low houses, low eaves, and low doorways are accompanied by a short yellow dog crouching beside them, shivering alone when it sees pedestrians.

  Along the narrow street, Jing Ke walked, leading a horse, the horse pulling a cart, on which his friend Gao Jianli was still lying unconscious.

  "An old man's house." He met an old man in a hurry and asked, "Excuse me, is there any wine shop or inn around here? My brother is seriously ill and cannot travel, I want to find a place to rest."

  "Oh, it's getting dark soon and you're still on the road?" The old man stopped in his tracks and hastily said: "If you go a few more miles forward, you'll reach the 'Blood Washing River', but at night there are too many vengeful spirits there, can't go. And in this small town, there's only one tavern that can accommodate people at the front intersection of the road ahead, hurry up and take a look, if it's late, I'm afraid there won't be any place for you to stay." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Jing Ke to express his gratitude, and hastily walked away.

  "A strange old man." He muttered to himself, and could only continue walking forward. Not far away, he saw the fluttering wine flag. Seeing no one at the door, he tied up his horse, helped Gao Jianli up, and Jing Ke walked inside.

  Due to the poor lighting inside and the approaching dusk, many oil lamps had been lit throughout the tavern. On over a dozen tables sat nearly thirty people, mostly dressed as wandering outcasts or traveling knights, gathered in groups of three to five, drinking wildly and singing loudly.

  In a remote corner, there was a small table with only one beautiful woman kneeling beside it.

  Look at the gorgeous clothes on her body, it's not a simple role; look at that face, duck egg-shaped face, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, black hair like a waterfall, also with a charming appearance; when drinking wine, she slightly leaned back, showing off her plump chest and slim waist, making people who saw her feel enchanted. Every time she raised the wine cup, the big men around her would let out suppressed exclamations of surprise, accompanied by the sound of swallowing saliva.

  "Is there still a room available?" Jing Ke shouted towards the back hall, gently placing Gao Jianli on another empty case.

  "There's already someone who has made a reservation." It was that woman, without even lifting her head, but clearly speaking to Jing Ke.

  Yu Guang glanced at him and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, but Jing Ke ignored him and continued to shout after kneeling down: "Wine officer..."

  "Here, great hero!" The wine officer hastily ran out from the back hall and came to Jing Ke's side, asking: "Great hero, what would you like to order?"

  A room, wine and food.

  "Alright, the wine and food are no problem, however..." The wine shop owner rubbed his hands together and hesitated before saying: "However, great hero, there is one more room available, but it has already been booked by someone else."

  "That's alright." Jing Ke looked up at the wine officer and said, "Just find a decent bed for my brother and me to sleep in for one night, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."

  "Ah? Alright!" The wine officer said with a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go prepare food and drink for you and your brother." After finishing speaking, he quickly ran back to the rear hall.

  "Haha! Poor wine officer, it seems he's going to be arranged a place to stay for the night in vain. On the way back, he'll still have to help drag him to the 'Blood Washing River' and bury him." It was that enchanting woman who said while drinking: "It looks like there will be two more unjust souls in this 'Blood Washing City' today."

  What? What does this mean? Isn't it obvious that Jing Ke and Gao Jianli are being cursed?

  He smiled faintly, turned around, and left his back to the woman, Jing Ke no longer paid attention.

  The wine and dishes finally arrived, and the wine officer smiled: "Great hero, you see that this room is really hard to find, isn't it..."

  "Oh, thank you so much." Those who understand things always find it easiest to get convenience. Jing Ke lowered his head, took out some money and put it on the table, saying: "Just find a place for my brother to stay overnight, mainly don't let him catch cold."

  "Thank you, great hero! Thank you, great hero!" But why wasn't the wine official happy? He hastily grabbed those valuable things and repeatedly said: "I'll go take care of it right away. I'll tidy up that room where I live, and tonight, Great Hero and your brother can stay there!"

  "Thanks a lot!" It seems that he still has to go "collect debts", so he's not in a hurry. Jing Ke took off the sword from his waist and gently placed it on the table, starting to drink wine.

  At this moment, four big men came in at the door. Judging from their attire, they should be the gate guests of some noble family. The leader was a bald man with horizontal stripes on his face and a large knife on his back. His stature was majestic, and just by looking at him, he could scare people out of three points.

  "Big brother, our seats have been taken." A sly-looking guy with a pointed chin and beady eyes, who was standing next to him, saw Jing Ke sitting in front of the table drinking wine and eating meat, and whispered to the bald-headed man: "Looks like there really are people who aren't afraid of death!"

  Staring at Jing Ke, the bald man clasped his fists and said in a low voice: "Brother on that side, your table has already been booked by our brothers. Please go elsewhere to drink and eat."

  "When I'm done, it's only natural that you brothers take my place." Jing Ke tilted his head back and drained a jug of fruit wine, praising: "The flavor is not bad, this wine is good to drink!" He then called out towards the inner chamber: "Wine officer, trouble you to bring some more wine!"

  "Big brother, this kid obviously doesn't take us seriously." The refined guy said, pressing the sword on his body, and was about to step forward, "Watch me go teach him a lesson."

  "Hold on!" But was stopped, that bald head seemed not to be a rash person, again clasped his fist, he raised his voice and said to Jing Ke: "Brother over there, please change your seat, it's also convenient for when the time comes."

  "Great hero, otherwise you change a place?" The wine officer held up the wine and came up, timidly lowering his voice to tell Jing Ke: "Our small city has nothing, it's just that there are many fugitives, looking at them like that, it's better..."

  "What's wrong?" Jing Ke took the wine, tilted his head and drank it, then said: "Why do you think they are fugitives, but don't think that I am also a person who will take your life and property?" As he spoke, he picked up the sword beside him, slightly drew it out, and suddenly the cold light of the sword flashed, and everyone in the wine shop was dazzled.

  "Silkworm Sword..."

  Some people recognized the goods, and many people stared straight at the sword in Jing Ke's hand, whispering a few words, and hurriedly turned their heads to drink. Even that enchanting lone woman softly said "oh".

  "Silk... eating sword?" The bald big man's face was already full of surprise, his mouth twitching twice: "Could it be... the 'Traversing a thousand miles to slay generals and kill enemies' Tian Kaijiang Tian Lao's leftover silk-eating sword?"

  Looking at that delicate man again, he secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and let out a sigh of relief in his heart: "Damn, it's good that I didn't go up to find trouble with him just now..."

  Actually, what Jing Ke was holding was the remains of Tian Kaijiang, whom he had killed. However, when he first killed him, his "Silkworm Sword" and another old ghost's "Blood Blade" should have been taken away by Zhao Guo's General Li Mu. But in that mountain valley battle, the "Silkworm Sword" reappeared and was even inserted into Jing Ke's giant dragon mother's head, only to be collected by Jing Ke this time.

  Unfortunately, I still don't understand how Tian Kaijiang usually puts away this sword, it's as if he doesn't carry it on him yet can pull it out at any time; here with Jing Ke, I can only use an ordinary scabbard, and that will have to do as the "Silkworm Sword"'s disguise.

  I'm afraid you've also heard the legend of "Qibang San Jie". That bald head has completely dispelled my idea of returning to that case. But then he turned around, made a fist at the charming woman and said: "Suizhou girl, we have brought what you want, take a look." As he spoke, he glanced back at the refined man, who immediately threw a package beside the woman's desk.

  The woman's slender fingers gently opened the package, revealing a large pile of gold and silver treasures, as well as a square brocade box. The surrounding men let out a collective "wow" of greedy envy. As she lightly opened the brocade box, the onlookers simultaneously gasped in surprise, before falling silent.

  Jing Ke involuntarily turned his head to look, and saw that in the brocade box was actually a human head!
