Chapter One: One Man, One Knife, One Bird(1/2)

Da Wei, Yun'an City.

Showers in early summer are like little flower-picking thieves who wander into the boudoir at night. They come in strong winds and rain, and then leave in a hurry, leaving only muddy water stains in the ravines and the pear blossoms on the tree that brought the rain.

The wind stopped and the rain subsided, and the streets of the capital became increasingly lively. People started to go out of their homes one after another, and vendors and goons hawked along the streets:

"steamed stuffed bun--"

"Selling coal..."



Amidst the noise in the street, a motorcade slowly drove from the intersection of Tianshui Bridge.

The carriage is behind, and in front are thirteen warriors who ride and escort the carriage. They are all wearing raincoats and bamboo hats on their heads, with swords across their waists, and are dusty from all the travel.

In the important place of the capital, it is rare for a team to have such a strong atmosphere. Many pedestrians looked sideways, but they saw that the leader of the team was a young man.

The man wore a black robe under his raincoat, with a big white bird standing on his shoulder. He was tall, with fair skin, dark eyes with bright color, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, which made his handsome face even more sharp.

"Wow - Mom, look, that brother is so handsome!"

"Shh~ don't yell, are you ashamed?"

"That bird is so fat~"

"grumble?"

"Hey? I can still understand people!"



The young man in black seemed not to have heard the compliments of the young women and girls on the street, and led the team to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency at the end of the street without squinting.

The entire shop in Tianshuiqiao has the family emblem with the word "Pei" hanging on it, as does the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

A family that can afford to buy a street in the capital city, where every inch of land is at a premium, is obviously not a small family, and is full of style. Outside the tall yellow wood and green tiled door of the escort agency, there are often two escorts standing in front of them to support the facade.

Seeing the unknown cavalry arriving at the door, a bodyguard stepped forward and held his hands in front of him, making a quaint salute:

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Night Terror Hall."

The bodyguard looked confused and glanced at the group of powerful warriors:

"I've never heard of your name. Are you here to transport escorts, or..."

"Kick the gym."

"..."

After saying this, the street became quiet.

The passers-by who were wandering around all gathered around, and even the wonton vendor on the street put down their spoons, wiped their hands on their aprons, and stood on tiptoes to look at them:

"what happened?"

"Players, this scene is really rare in the capital..."



The two escorts outside the escort office looked grim when they saw the unkind young man in black.

If he were an ordinary young man, he would have shouted back, but the thirteen knights outside the door, all with knives, were not easy to provoke, so the bodyguard still looked polite and said:

"Private fights are strictly prohibited in this important place in the capital. Our boss is a serious businessman and abides by the law. We can't handle the matter of kicking the club. If you have a dispute with your boss, you can go and complain, and we can go to the Yamen to reason..."

After saying this, the onlookers immediately began to boo:

"Huh……"

"If you are still practicing martial arts, people are knocking on your door. Is it fair for you to ask someone to report it to the official?"

"Yes……"



The young man in black took off his saber from his waist, threw it to the person behind him, and said with his bare hands:

"Let your escort head come out and I'll leave after one fight."

Seeing the neighbors gathered around him, the bodyguard showed displeasure, and a man next to him ran to the street, hoping to report to the police.

Unfortunately, as soon as he ran a few steps, he was blocked by the swordsman behind the young man in black.

"Hey you……"

As soon as this move came out, seven or eight people rushed out from behind the door of the escort agency, carrying knives and guns with angry faces.

A powerful voice also came from inside the escort agency:

"Boy, it's okay to be young and energetic, but you need to brighten your eyes..."

Everyone turned around and saw a man walking out of the main room of the escort agency. He was wearing a brocade robe and had a tall build. His right hand, which was full of calluses, was spinning two iron walnuts.

Kaka...

When the escort outside the door saw this, he quickly called out:

"Master Chen, this boy is making trouble."

The onlookers' eyes grew hot and they talked a lot:

"Chen Biao is out."

"This handsome guy won't be beaten to death, will he?"

"How dare anyone die in the capital? The most they can do is vomit blood."

"He is so handsome, it hurts even if he vomits blood..."

Swish——

Before anyone could say a word, they suddenly heard a soft sound of breaking wind coming from the street.

Many bodyguards and pedestrians saw their eyes blurred when the young man in black who was sitting on the horse, not knowing how to use his strength, rose into the sky, jumped over the door of the bodyguard office, which was more than ten feet high, and smashed into the courtyard of the bodyguard office.

Chen Biao, who had just walked out of the house, was startled by this scene. He instinctively threw two iron walnuts, but they were swept away by the young man in black robes with his sleeve. Then the goshawk pounced on the rabbit and caught him with one claw.

on the neck.

Bang——

In the blink of an eye, the tall and powerful Chen Biao was pressed against the doorpost behind him, knocking off several black tiles on the eaves.

snap——

The tiles fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, which shocked the more than ten escorts in the courtyard to tremble, with horrified eyes.

Chen Biaohai's face was pale and he didn't even have the intention to resist. He shouted urgently:

"Young hero, wait a minute! I'm just a bodyguard. If you have a grudge against my employer, don't come at me..."

If you can speak out, it's obvious that you won't kill him.

The young man in black robe grabbed Chen Biao's neck with one hand and tilted his head to signal an old swordsman outside the door:

"His name is Yang Chao. From now on, he will be the head guard and you will be the second in command. Do you understand?"

Chen Biao was confused, but he didn't dare to talk back when his neck was being pinched. He just spread his hands and said:

"Young hero, we are a formal business that pays business taxes on time, not a Jianghu dock. If my boss doesn't agree, I can't make the decision even if you beat me to death..."

"My father, Pei Yuanfeng, and your boss's brother, asked me to send you my family's property. From now on, they will be members of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. If there is any mistreatment, you can ask."

Chen Biao was stunned, looked at the young man in black, and said in surprise:

"Are you the second master's son?! Why is your last name Ye?"

Ye Jingtang did not answer. After speaking, he took out a stack of official tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels, patted Chen Biao's chest, turned and left.

Outside the door, the neighbors were stunned and whispered to each other:

"What a handsome skill..."

"Is this the young master of the Pei family?"

"It sounds like... there used to be a second child in the Pei family, twenty or thirty years ago..."



The twelve cavalry escorts who followed had complicated expressions. The leader, Mr. Yang, handed the knife to Ye Jingtang who walked out of the door and advised:

"Young master, why are you like this? My old master loves to talk while drinking, so you don't need to take it seriously. Where can you go when you leave home?"

"Jianghu."

Ye Jingtang took the sword and put it back on his waist, let the pet bird rest on his shoulder, looked at the rising sun on the horizon, and took a gentle breath.

His figure seemed free and easy, but in his clear eyes, there was a flash of confusion that said, "Although the world is huge, there is no place to settle down."

It has been eighteen years since I came to this dynasty called 'Da Wei'.

When he was two or three years old, his memory gradually came back to him. Ye Jingtang lived in an escort agency in the border town of Dawei. He was an abandoned child picked up by his boss Pei Yuanfeng on his way to escort. Because he had a loud voice and cried loudly, he was named "Night Terror".
