I'm Happy

Ying Ru Shi's schedule was very tight today. She had to inspect the affairs of Ping City before noon, otherwise, she would be late for the Thieves' Den meeting at noon.

After casually flipping through the account books, Ying Ru Shi knew how much these people had embezzled. But as long as it wasn't too excessive, Ying Ru Shi didn't plan to pursue it, or rather, pursuing it would be useless. If you want to manage a place, you have to use these people, whether they are Central Plains People or Northern Border people, it's all the same. Even if the salary is higher, they will still be corrupt, and Ying Ru Shi can at most kill a few without a background, and those with a background... they will throw a few without a background for Ying Ru Shi to kill.

Of course, this is only limited to land, gold, silver, and other things unrelated to cultivation. If anyone dares to embezzle the Spirit Jade of the Secret Realm, Ying Ru Shi dares to summon the nearby army to suppress them—even His Majesty would support her decision.

Looking at the officials in front of her who were trying their best to please her but didn't care about the people's livelihood at all, Ying Ru Shi sighed in her heart. However, this trip was not without surprises. She actually encountered a Central Plains Person with outstanding talent, who became The Herald at a young age. The value of this kind of The Herald is much higher than those 'noble heralds' who are piled up with secret manuals.

With a little training, he should be able to second job change within five years. If he can third job change within ten years, he will definitely become the mainstay of Qi Kingdom. Ying Ru Shi was considering whether to tell His Majesty. If His Majesty knew about this person, he might reuse him, but it was also possible...

Zheng!

A clear and melodious sound of a blade, and the ripples of spiritual power blooming, immediately made Ying Ru Shi know what happened—someone was using a keepsake!

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect County Duke!"

Ying Ru Shi was fearless. She carried a protective keepsake with her, and ordinary third job change experts would find it difficult to break through her defense with one blow. Her gaze crossed the crowd and saw on the open space at the entrance of the dungeon, a tall and mighty man pulled out a straight blade. In the direction the straight blade pointed, several Hundred Guard Cavalry were cut in half at the waist, and their internal organs and blood were scattered all over the ground!

However, the Evil Spirit Knight pointed at by the blade still stood. The black mist on his body was like armor, blocking the fierce blade light!

"You actually dare to assassinate the Hundred Guard Battalion Lord!" Uwan Ryu's angry voice seemed to be mixed with a hint of joy: "Archery team, don't care about me, shoot him to death!"

As he spoke, he took out Spirit Jade from his arms. In just a breath, four pieces of Spirit Jade turned into powder and disappeared, which meant that Uwan Ryu had recovered 4 points of spiritual power!

"Yan San, stop!" Ying Ru Shi's voice resounded through the fortress: "Stop now and I can forgive you!"

Zheng!

The blade light was this man's answer!

The moment he was hit, the mist on Uwan Ryu's body became thicker. He realized something and tried to retreat and escape, shouting: "Shoot him to death!"

Shu!

Dozens of powerful crossbows on the fortress fired at the same time. Ying Ru Shi did not stop them—not to mention that Uwan Ryu was a Northern Border person, Yan San was just a Central Plains Person. Even if Uwan Ryu made a mistake, she could not just watch him be beheaded in public.

Uwan Ryu represents the Hundred Guard Cavalry, represents the majesty of the royal guards. He can only die in battle, die under trial, and must never die in this kind of revenge that tarnishes the dignity of Great Qi!

Zheng!

The big man caught up with Uwan Ryu and slashed out the third blade light! Although many arrows were blocked by the blade light and Uwan Ryu, there were still more than a dozen arrows that shot into the big man's body, instantly turning him into a hedgehog!

A scream rang out in the air, but it did not come from the big man, but from Uwan Ryu!

"His keepsake will stack damage, each blade is stronger than the last!"

A terrifying wound was cut in Uwan Ryu's abdomen, and his intestines rolled out along the wound. But at this time, Uwan Ryu also became ruthless, pulled out the long blade from his waist. He was originally a brave Northern Border Hundred Guard, but just now he felt that Yan San could not break his defense, so he ran away. The injury instead activated his ferocity.

This kind of serious injury would definitely make ordinary people feel cold and fall down, but Uwan Ryu was a first job change The Herald with nearly 10 points of Vitality. The surging Vitality suppressed his pain and gave him the power to fight back!

But even Uwan Ryu, a fierce man who crawled out of a pile of corpses, when he saw the man in front of him, whose body was pierced by arrows, still holding the straight blade steadily with a blank expression, an unspeakable fear and chill instantly strangled his heart.

Zheng!

The tragic fourth blade!

At the same time, the second team of crossbowmen who came up also knew that the blade light could cut off arrows, so they waited for Yan San to slash out the blade light before shooting. All thirty-three fine steel crossbow bolts pierced Yan San's flesh and blood!

However, the first to fall to the ground was not Yan San's corpse, but Uwan Ryu's head.

The Evil Spirit Mask was still tightly covering his face, as if it had already become one with him.

But even an evil spirit couldn't withstand the blazing Moon Ring that struck four times in a row.

Ying Ru Shi pushed through the crowd, ignoring the generals' and warriors' dissuasion, and insisted on approaching the large man who was still standing in the center of the open space. He no longer looked human; crossbow bolts had pierced almost every part of his body, and there wasn't a good piece of flesh left on his face. It seemed like he had more iron in his body than meat.

"Why?"

Ying Ru Shi truly couldn't understand: "I restored your innocence, gave you justice, compensated for your losses, pointed out your future, and fulfilled your requests—why did you have to kill him?"

The large man didn't answer. For a moment, Ying Ru Shi thought he was already dead, but just as she turned around, she heard a faint laugh from behind:

"I'm happy."

Thud.

The large man crashed to the ground, blood gushing from his wounds and pooling into a blood puddle on the ground. However, the corners of his mouth, pierced by crossbow bolts, were slightly upturned, as if he were smiling. Ying Ru Shi watched this scene. Countless people were talking around her, but she didn't hear a single word clearly. The scorching sun was overhead, but she felt a chill to the bone.

"Still haven't found it?"

"County Duke, give us a little more time, and we will definitely be able to—"

"Forget it, there's no need. Anyway, even if we find it, it's just a first-revolution token. You may withdraw."

Inside the Ping City military camp's commandery, Ying Ru Shi waved away the army's chief clerk, signaling the warriors guarding the door not to let anyone in. Then, she opened the chest and took off her entire set of clothes, replacing them with a White Fox mask and ordinary Qi Kingdom fabric clothing. However, when she took off her clothes, she was absent-minded and almost took off her chest wraps as well.

What happened today had a great impact on her.

Someone could disregard their future and their life, just to seek justice for themselves and vent their anger.

How many people like this are there in Qi Kingdom?

Moreover, Yan San was a strong and powerful man. If I hadn't happened to be there today, he might have been framed.

Are such things as squeezing out and framing Central Plains People happening every day in the land of Qi Kingdom? Are people like Yan San being born every day, waiting for a chance to get justice?

In comparison, Yan San's White Iron Straight Blade token, although a new token that had never been seen before, wasn't that important.

With a heavy heart, Ying Ru Shi closed her eyes and silently recited 'Thieves' Den'. With a slight tremor, when she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived in her personal room in the Thieves' Den.

Pushing open the door, Ying Ru Shi found that everyone else was already sitting in their seats. She immediately put on an embarrassed look, unfolded a fan, and laughed: "Sorry, the ladies were too clingy, I was a little late—"

Her voice stopped abruptly, her eyes fixed on the direction of 'Yellow Dog'.

'Yellow Dog' noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just saw you brought a knife, and I realized we can bring weapons in here." Ying Ru Shi sat down as if nothing had happened: "Then I'll have to bring a weapon next time too."

"I've tried it." Red Snake Shang Xin Lei spread a small tablecloth on the stone table, took out teacups and a kettle, and said while drinking tea, "It's the same as the main city here, you can't activate tokens."

"For safety's sake, keep a distance of more than three steps from each other." Black Wolf Yaoshi Yuan said, "Sudden approaches are considered malicious."

"Understood, understood." Ying Ru Shi fanned herself, her gaze skimming over 'Yellow Dog's' knife.

That was a White Iron Straight Blade.
